[Music] there was one time a big all of the all of the people that are important in the uh Torah world were getting together one of the was coming were coming and one guy that was that was known to be extra strict wanted to give him a personal sh so he arrived a little late you know like five minutes after they closed the door and he's way he wants to go inside and he says uh listen uh I'm I helped arrange the event I have this and the guy said no problem you have a ticket no no I don't have a ticket so I'm sorry I can't let you in CU what do you mean but I'm this but I'm that not I'm sorry goes yeah but my son is with me he says your son you're not son I can't help you and he's arguing with the guy for an hour and a half trying to get in and he can't believe that he did so much to get this event together but he cannot see what's going on inside after an hour and a half the G that was inside finished speaking and people started running out one of his friends another saw him he goes hey where you been I didn't see you all night he goes ah come on I can't believe you and he gives him every name in the book every it goes on this guy poor guy I can't believe you you guys you should be ashamed of yourself you didn't check on me I've been outside H it goes okay okay listen I understand you finished you're finished no I'm finished okay listen the rabbi's still inside he's waiting till everybody leaves but he's still inside so come I'll give you a personal meeting with him to make up for it you know you outside for an hour and a half after all come on come on inside so he goes inside and the big Rabbi says how are you all of a sudden everything's okay and the friend tells him listen for the this guy just went through he's been outside for an hour and a half he's one of the guys that helped arrange he did this he did that he's a he so important so he think he said why don't you give him you know because it's tough what he went through so the guy is excited because he's he wants to hear from the so the says to him can you tell me a little bit what you felt when you were outside he says well it felt terrible no no tell me a little bit I know terrible but tell me more how did it feel to be outside he says well honestly I think I don't have to go to G that's how bad it was so bad to be outside it was M like gay cuz tell me more tell me more how does it feel to be gay it's really terrible I felt alone I felt miserable I felt like no one cares I felt like this I felt like that he starts going into five minutes of describing it and the says to him now let me ask you a question how many people did you reject this year in your Yesa when they applied but they were instead of Asim they were Asim instead ofin they were from this or that or this K or that KLA how many of them did you reject this year he says many he says so maybe they feel the same way you did did you ever think that they also feel that after you rejected them they're alone and no one loves them and no one accepts them even though they're trying but just because their grandfather came from the desert and your grandfather came from some country in Europe that's enough of a reason to reject them or maybe because they don't pronounce the way the the word the way you do and maybe because of they don't have enough money or they don't have enough this but you decided no they don't belong among the rest of us so gave you in this world you should say thank you doesn't just come from the Safari guy doesn't like the asazi guy the asazi guy doesn't like the Safari guy the yemenite doesn't like anyone because no one knows how to speak no it's not just that it's even among each other tell us in the that even if you have one k one Min of people that actually have a actually have a common goal actually do not have a they simply come they pray to the overall mission of the is the same 10 people Masia comes on the spot 10 people in the entire world doesn't say anywhere in the world now on one hand this should encourage us we should get 10 people on another end it's very discouraging that we haven't been able to succeed for 2,000 years so when it comes to the Tora it's not necessarily just learning the sh by heart or the or the this one or the it's not just about that it's learning how to apply these things to your life and understanding that when a says something he's not joking he's serious you may not take him seriously but for sure he's serious when he said that someone that gets in the way of Torah to stop us you to go against the rabbi to go against the real Torah because his way his way is different he should know that you got in the way of the Torah in sham they call that person the worst curse so much so that the rest of am is says amenob mavid all of them say Amen to what to cursing this person that got in the way of the tah why would anybody want such a horrible curse why because you don't like the way he speaks or you don't like the way his hat looks or you don't like the way whether he has a beard or he doesn't have a beard the question is does he teach Torah or not is it true or is it fake if didn't want people to know it he wouldn't write it in if he wrote in that's what he means he's not trying to Sugar Code it if wrote that somebody that goes against theem in different ways has a punishment means he wants you to know it so if somebody's teaching about the parts of the Torah that are not so pleasing to hear about but decided to write in the T you going against him is not going against the person it's going against Hashem
