Unintentional Heresy - Bitachon B’HaShem (13)

[Music] good to see everyone in our Sunday night sh here in Sun in the series continues our Sunday night we talk a little bit about uh confidence in this is applicable to every human being whether you're Jewish or not Jewish whether you're religious or you're not religious um all you need to do is be alive and this will be relevant to you uh the uh world today that we live in is um full of people that are trying to do their best but for whatever reason or another they figure that they know better than what the Torah says and uh many times I see I mean even today a couple of examples today a few more examples before today uh just on uh Friday almost on a daily basis I get to see certain I guess certain things that maybe most people don't see or perhaps they don't pay attention to it but uh you get to see sometimes people that look really religious from the appearance you know if it's a woman she's wearing a she looks relatively modest she's not uh trying to uh win any modeling contest in the in the streets or anything she's just simply average looking Jewish person on the other hand for men it's much easier they most of them have similar uniforms suit shirt keepa sometimes there's a uh beard that matches sometimes is not but nonetheless most religious guys look relatively the same and you see sometimes they have their their appearance makes them look like theim whether it's because they have payers or they have the uh the belt on their uh when they pray for the most part you can identify Jews it's not so hard to identify Jews in the old days it was a little more difficult and the reason why is because many Jews and I'm talking about hundreds of years ago many Jews and non-jews look relatively the same the way if you go to the desert and you see Arabs that's how Jews used to look like if a Jew came to uh New York look like that or came to Florida looking like that they think he's an Arab they think he's a terrorist or something like that but nonetheless that's actually how all of our grandparents used to look like at some point or another if not a few hundred years ago then a few thousand years years ago there wasn't such a thing as and at the time ofu point being is that at some point all of us look the same things change we change our clothing we change our cultures but nonetheless the religion itself the Torah itself stayed the same of course different places have different Customs but nonetheless the Torah itself never changed the problem is is that our understanding of the Torah has changed and many times you get to see people that are otherwise look the part they look religious you can wake them up the you'll started otherwise look religious I'm awake so you should be awake they look religious but they're not why why why why start off start off the week on bad news why say what some people will say you know that's the that's the uh that's the first thing people for defense most people don't know the laws of or who wrote them but they like to say l anytime you say something they don't like to hear they say l the question is what makes you a Jew that's the question few have written over time different specifically dealing with this topic what makes a person a Jew if you look at what the say and what our opinion is it's a little different sometimes why most agreed that the 13 principles of faith that the ramban put together nearly 900 years ago which of course he got from the tah that's what makes you a Jew if you comply with these 13 principles of Faith 100% no uh no questions asked this is your ideology this is what you believe this is what you follow and of course you follow the Torah itself all what it actually all of what it means then you qualify as a Jew you could be counted in the Manan you could be used as a witness in a Jewish ceremony whether it be a witness in a court or witness in a uh wedding and you're considered a kosher Jew on the other hand if you don't believe in them or perhaps you believe in 12 out of the 13 so you believe that everything is good out of the 13 I don't know if all of you know all them by heart it's all your you believe let's say all of them but you believe like the Christians that God has a body God has a body because they believe God has a body they call him Jesus that's what they believe these imbeciles they believe he as a body now you have a problem why you cannot be counted as a anymore you cannot be counted as a Jew anymore you can be a very nice person otherwise very nice person give a lot of staka you know you you you pray 87 times a day not three times 87 you believe God has a body like me and you you have a problem you have a very serious problem why God says I don't have a body has no body has no image of a body meaning even when you pray what does it mean has no image of a body even when you pray you cannot even imagine what Hashem looks like you can't look at the sky and say oh and even imagine the letters the k k you're not even allowed to imagine the letters When you pray believe it or not like you look at the sky and you think maybe God looks like letters maybe decide the you there's a arm the left the ha is another arm leg who knows no no my friend you cannot even imagine a body a lot of people imagine a body so much so they start a whole new religion it's called Christianity so it's very very important to know that these 13 principles of Faith this is not a suggestion it's not it's an ideology that a Jew must have and unfortunately many times Jews forget this and they violate these principles of of Fate thinking yeah but this is just the r I'm not violating the Ten Commandments no the two are connected the whole toah is connected how so how many screws how many screws does a plane need to be missing in order to explode how many one one screw but it has millions of screws you know that right but one's missing say kadish there was a rocket that went into space a little over a decade ago I think it was with an Israeli astronaut he had a SE with him not sure if he read the se but I know he brought the SE on the on the rocket with him the rocket went up everybody was excited oh it blew up it blew up it was a naal much a disaster to this day some people are crying over it later on when they did the investigation and they tried to figure out what went wrong do you know that a rocket has over a million moving pieces just imagine Gathering a million pieces imagine naming a million pieces billions of dollars went into this rocket and they found out a 30 Cent screw was missing wasn't locked 100% and because of that screw not being locked 100% the pressure couldn't be handled long story sure meaning that one screw changed everything if you ever buy groceries for your parents or if you buy it for yourself and sometimes you buy some canned food how many holes does the canned food have to be have to have in order for it to be smelly disgusting and not good for purchase how many holes one one hole so still we're still stuck with the one huh we don't need five or six holes five or six screws five or six mistakes we don't need just one makes the whole thing run used to say that's exactly with it only take takes one screw one mitvah to make your entire ideology corrupt now we're not saying that a human being Jew or otherwise needs to be perfect we're not saying that we even have a verse say teach us there's no such thing as a righteous person who doesn't sin everybody sins everybody makes mistakes the difference is one is a mistake one is intentional when it's a mistake that means you're a human being welcome to the club there's 8 billion more of you if you're a Jew ah even better you're 15 million you're part of 15 million you're part of 1% of 1% that makes you human you made a mistake no problem makes mistakes everybody makes mistakes I made mistakes on the way here I'm going to make mistakes on the way back I make plenty of mistakes everybody makes mistakes the problem is if it's on purpose the problem is if it's carelessness on purpose the problem is if somebody just says you know what I don't know but I don't really care to know then it's on purpose and unfortunately sometimes the toat tells us certain things that disagree with our rational State of Mind disagree with would make sense to us and we don't care enough to find out if it's true or not if we misunderstood or not if we're wrong or not and we just go with our gut and unfortunately I find this very common in today's religious world that Many religious people are making this mistake this fundamental mistake where they have some type of understanding of the tat that's wrong and when you tell them the truth instead of saying you know what I'm going to double check I'm going to double check what you said in the book that you said it says it and then go from there based on if it says it in the book if it says it in the T then there's no argument why if it says it in the T got said it who Am might to argue with God go go try arm wrestling god go have a good time go try arguing debating God when he debates you by the way you're not in this world he has to bring you over there and you can't come back it's a one oneway trip go argue with God who's arguing with God once it says it in the book we're finished instead of saying I'm going to check what it says in the book and double check and then act accordingly make many times we attack the messenger we say no he speaks in a certain way that's uh very demeaning no he speaks it with a scary voice no he's only a b chuva no he's only 5' n no look at him he's overweight no look at his beard it's not even white any everything they come up with Under the Sun they're going to create just to discredit the messenger but of course knows everything and already knew how to deal with such people and the Tora says in says and I open the mouth of the donkey who donkey Bam's donkey and what did happen after he opened his mouth when he started eating no no he was eating already before that's so he survived what does it mean he open his mouth open his mouth meaning the donkey started talking the donkey started talking and started rebuking bam and we learned mus we learned ethics we learn the truth from a donkey in the Torah meaning whether the message comes from About Cha religious from birth old young male female donkey human hasem says it's irrelevant the only thing that matters is whether it's true or not now how do we know if it's true or not now anyone that wants to build something they want to make sure that it's not like my little kids my little kids they play with Play-Doh they play with Play-Doh they have fun playing Play-Doh when they build something they don't really care how big or small it is little Sarah takes the Play-Doh it's green okay I'm going to put some pink on it you know put some black on it she just Wings it she just Wings it puts what but if you're going to build something that the rest of the world's going to use you have to take a little more more care into it than Sarah does why because she's four you have to do something a little more care so what do you do you have to make sure you have the right measure you have the right measure how many screws you're going to use how big it's going to be what's the diameter what's going to be the circumference what is it measured against and so on and so forth which means that you're going to need to know whether it's straight or not and whether you're straight or not whether your actual structure has some good foundation or not now what does that mean that means that you have to measure it against something you have to measure whatever you're building against something that's already Dependable already stable already reliable already indisputable so you're going to take a ruler that you bought for 99 cents at CVS and said this is the ruler even though it's only 99 Cents it's based on a metric system or a feat system or whatever it is but I know it's straight and I'm going to measure this rocket based on this ruler that I bought for 99 cents why it doesn't matter how much it cost doesn't matter that the ruler is 99 Cents I know the ruler is straight and I'm going to measure my equipment based on this ruler CU it's straight how do we know if we're straight we have to measure against the ruler but not the ruler you buy for 99 cents the ruler you can get for free it's called T we have a ruler it's called tah T is the ruler why because T God created it God created it he's the straight he's straight he hasn't changed his mind what he wrote back then he's still valid today he's the ruler not just ruler of the world but also the ruler of letting us know what is straight what is honest what's dishonest what's emit what's what's good what's bad we cannot Define something that contradicts the ruler not just because he's a ruler as a king of kings but also because he's the ruler meaning he created the laws as far as what's straight or not you can't say no got it you know what I disagree with you on this one Hashem I know you're King I know I know I know you got I know you know what you're doing but in my case I'm an exception to the case in my case I'm an exception to the case it doesn't work like that doesn't work that way why because then he's not the ruler then the ruler is a variable that keeps moving so now when we look at the to and we see that there's a ruler we see that there is a straight line there's a there's there's something that we can base everything off of that's how we have to analyze our ideology our Behavior our understanding does it agree with this ruler with this we say it in Hebrew s is literally a ruler does it agree with this straight line if it agrees with if my straight line agrees with this straight line therefore it's straight but if my straight line does not agree with that straight line it always by default means that my line is crooked it can never be that my line is straight stra and the ruler is wrong can never be everybody agrees with this well okay we're on the same page I haven't put you to sleep yet we're good right okay now says some things that to us are irrational but that's only because we are irrational because our ruler is off if we're going to analyze it based on our own ruler it is very very common that you're going to find things disagree with your ideology at least in the beginning it's very common that you're going to find things that disagree with what you thought makes sense if you're going to constantly try to make sense of the Torah I'm afraid that you may end up like korak who's korak kak is this week's par korak by the way most people think he was a rash from birth or something but in reality kak was one of the biggest King that ever lived kak was the head Rabbi of the kak was actually AI he was a prophet he spoke to God and saw withes that his descendant was going to be Sho and thear says that sh was like Moshe and together so he thought wait a minute if my descendant is going to be shm that weighed against both Aon and Moshe at the same time of course I'm going to win the argument against Moshe if my I can't die if is going to come for me never in his wild his dreams did he rationalize that his own sons are going to do chuva in the last minute and a descendant is still still going to come even though he's going to die what was the whole argument between K and M K wanted to make between all of us he wanted to be the leader between all of us don't tell anybody between all of us he want to be he want to take the show he want to take the show but before you know and then what did he show he said listen doesn't make any sense these rules that you have m in this T doesn't make any sense why he asked them listen in the Tora you say that you have to put a mza on the door right everybody here kiss the M the way in on the way out kiss the M you have M on the door you have to kiss right what if the whole house is full of you know there a few each could cost as much as 60 70 $80,000 $100,000 has the entire in it not half if it's it's not each has a lot of it so says what if I have a building full of from floor to ceiling do I still need a m you know m is like a little paragraph out of the Tor whereas I'm telling you I have a whole house full of no who wants to give me an answer do I still need a in the back do I still need a m if I have a whole house this whole room is full of do I still need still need why but I have a whole room full of each you count it like a 10,000 do I still need one m that has a little paragraph that I can buy from the store for 100 bucks yeah still why why do I still need why do I still need a because one mitvah has nothing to do with the other this is one mitvah like she said and this is one Mitzvah but K it didn't make sense to him why he says wait a minute why can't we bundle the me like a sandwich why can't we put you know a little tomato on it a little mayo on it maybe some lettuce and cheese I don't know make some Shak out of it something no there's no Shak with with this is now because K was trying to rationalize everything it didn't make sense to him so he said he thought that maybe MOS was making this up so then he said listen there's another mitvah in the it says in those days we had something called a which is a certain type of animal that from it you get blue blood and that blue blood you can make a special type of color blue now we don't have it anymore but theah for the men you have to technically have one string that's blue now since we don't know what is this what kind of blue is this blue we do not have this Mitzvah anymore even though sometimes you're going to see certain people have a little blue string that's not fulfilling the Mitzvah that's just a fashion statement F it's not we don't have it not like you're never going to see one you know raashi any of the wearing a little blue string never because we don't know we don't know which one it is so now all of the generally speaking are white but the mitvah still exists so say wait a minute what if my entire is blue not just one string the whole thing is blue do I still need the strength to be blue or can I just have that as white can I have it as pink can I have it as burgundy maybe black looks nice with blue the whole thing is blue no can I or no no why not same answer this mitvah is one mitvah this mitvah is one mitzvah because korak tried to rationalize everything korak ended up being a person that we learn about Gom from why it says that the ground opened up swallowed kak and everyone that followed him and everything that belonged to him and he went into Shola what's Shola Shola is one of the seven names for G there are three places in the world in the physical world that the says are openings to G one of them is in a desert where K is another one is in the ocean another one is actually in now for anyone that says oh where does it say in the Tor about Gom it doesn't say the word Gom because Gom has several names but nonetheless this is a place that exists we learn it in many places is one of the places now the problem is is that kak we have that story in the Torah not just because we want to learn about kak everything that's in aah is for us it's relevant to us and K's Monumental mistake that cost him his eternity according to most opinions simply was rationalizing the Torah rationalizing the Tor and as soon as the Tora the rational of the Torah did not agree with his human rationale he could not handle it and he fell into 50 million pieces and completely became a heretic against the move down one seat so he can go inside please now this happens in a religious world every day what am I talking about already a half a dozen times in the last couple of weeks I've heard this in a religious world today it's become a uh very popular very accepted to honor the G especially the Christians Many religious Jews I'm not talking about the ones that lost their mind and became Christians themselves I'm talking about religious Jews with a keep a beard longer than mine Many religious Jews think that it's okay to honor the gim to celebrate holidays with them to pretty much act as if nothing's wrong so much so that sometimes you have even big rabis like this Mir from London that goes to church even though he's the head Rabbi of the UK he goes to church to give a speech once in a while and he meets with the Pope and the regular basis and he talks about how he admires the pope he admires the pope he thinks he's a good leader I don't know what kind of leadership uh raises so many pedophiles but nonetheless he admires the pope now when you have a big Rabbi say such a thing that shakes the world why because everybody looks at M or people like him is like he's the leader he should know he's like he's the guy that knows the book so he they think he's the ruler little that I know he doesn't even know the ruler himself and unfortunately he's not the only one I just mentioned his name because it's already well known it's not a secret it's not he publicized it himself the reality is this is very common so today one person that watches our sh is a supporter of what we do publicizes an article that there's some type of official in in is that says that is should change the law and not allow Christian churches to be in the land of Israel just like the toah says so he publicized this and religious Jews attacked them religious Jews attacked him goes no this is not nice you should be grateful to the Christians if it wasn't for the Christians then then Trump wouldn't be in power and if Trump wasn't in power then all the Jews would be in danger cuz look at what happened with Obama Osama was there and so on and so forth this thinking that the reason why the Jewish people are in a certain position in the world today and the reason why it's somehow connected to Trump or it's somehow connected to the Christians or it's somehow connected to any human being at all is unintentional unintentional heresy I say unintentional because I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're clueless why if you believe that aad runs the world that means that he will do his will regardless of what you do regardless of what you do you don't decide whether you live or die you don't decide whether you come to life or not you don't decide whether you're going to be rich or not you don't decide anything other than whether you're going to listen to AEM that's what says if you think that you decide or perhaps even influence how Hashem runs the world you have a very very serious problem with the ideology that that's required for you to be a Jew now this is what is all about is an understanding that you are a piece of the puzzle but not the one that runs the puzzle not the one that puts the puzzle together you decide how you want to fit in to the Grand puzzle that has now this puzzle will work with or without your peace with or without your peace hashm is going to run the world if you think that you are a needed piece for the world to run then you have a little bit of a God complex now the BET started us off by telling us that our worri are for no reason because hasem is going to do whatever he wants to do with or without our permission with or without our acknowledgement with or without our desire he's going to do whatever he wants the fact that we sometimes spend a lot of time worrying about things simply is unintentional unintentional dust of heresy why because we think we run the show we think we run the show it's unintentional we're not doing on purpose but in reality we think We Run The Show What is it like says sometimes a person spends a little bit too much time a little bit too much time helping AEM how does he help AEM he thinks that maybe he could change the world he could run the world so he's running away he's running uh late to an appointment he's running late to an appointment and he's on a bus he doesn't know what he to do I mean the bus is going to certain speed and he's L to the appointment so what does he do he runs to the front of the bus he like maybe at least I'm going to save some time by running to the front of the bus I'm G to save some time he thinks that just because he ran to the front of the bus that's going to help him out somehow or better yet he goes he spends $1,000 to go to a hotel for the weekend go to a hotel for the day some fancy schmancy hotel he doesn't have confidence that the people in the kitchen going to make him food so goes into the kitchen and start taking some egg some Tomatoes starts cooking like hey what are you doing you work here goes no no I'm I paid $1,000 to come here so what are you doing in the kitchen we cook goes no I don't I don't know if you guys are going to cook for me though goes what you paid yes so we're going to cook for you I don't know if I could take I don't know if I can believe you I don't if I can believe you I'm not try I could trust you to cook for me why not why wouldn't we cook for you why wouldn't we cook for you you paid right because I paid but I don't know maybe you won't do it maybe you're going to take a vacation maybe this maybe that says that sometimes that's us decided already on how much we're going to make how much money we're going to make and for some reason or another we still decide to work overtime we still decide to sometimes work on Shabbat we still decide to sometimes do business illegally we still decide sometimes to do business with unethical people or in an unethical way because we think that we need to help AEM cuz we don't trust that he's going to cook for us we don't trust that he's going to give us what he promised to give us and that is a little bit of it's a little bit of unintentional heresy in Hashem because we're not trusting that Hashem is going to deliver his word same goes with a lot of the religious people and non-religious people that believe that the only reason why the Jewish people are in a certain position today is because of Donald Trump or because of a certain amount of donations that people make or because of a certain amount of political influence or so on and so forth a certain amount of votes if you guys could move down so it's easier for people to just come down coming Z yes many people think that just because they voted for somebody then therefore that is actually going to matter in the world because they did something and therefore hasem is going to create changed the whole world because of that the reality is and how the world actually works is hasem runs the world you decide how you want to fit into that world how so are you going to be a vessel for him to do good or are you going to be a vessel for him to do not so good meaning if you follow what he says he will use you to spread his word to do good if you don't follow the opposite could potentially happen now the BET says you will have just as much if you work with total honesty as you will if you don't work with honesty and from here we could understand there's a serious error in people that work against the law that their business is conducted with dishonesty with cheating and other types of prohibited behaviors and there's a PUK that's written by the prophet Isaiah that when a person is finds eggs he's excited to find those eggs little does he know those are the eggs of a snake he says when a person makes money illegally a person makes money unethically he thinks oh I got the money look my bank account says a million doll my bank account says $5 million it says it I have the bank it has the computer it's good little does he know that money that he got unethically from lending money to Jews from charging obnoxious amount of Interest that's illegal according to the tah against non-jews even or from stealing or from selling things as new when they were really refurbished or from charging people you know all types of unethical business practices and so on he thinks he made the money so therefore he got the egg little does he know that AEM will actually use that egg to hurt him now today there was a clip I have a team of people that volunteer to make Clips out of our sh they take the sh that you're all here and they take little five minute clips of what I say and they make the clip cuz most people that don't know who I am and even if they do know where I am they see two three hours sh they run away they're scared they see 5 minutes oh this is good this is good I'll watch five minutes five minutes they feel like Champions I watch Rabbi I watch every day oh really Shabbat no no I don't know you know what Shabbat is not so much so what did you watch I watch the five minute Clips here and there five minute Clips is going to give you just enough juice to get through the day it's not going to get you to learn to become got to watch the whole two hours and even then two hours is not enough got to watch it every day but the point is is that the five minutes why do we do it we do it because it gets you in it's the bait it gets you hooked you start seeing T you like it you watch another five minute clip you like it again you watch another five minute clip you like it again you watch a 10-minute clip next time you know you watch three Clips next thing you know he says you know what let me just watch the whole thing let me just watch the whole two hour lecture so I can't watch it in one sitting so I'll watch an hour here and an hour tomorrow and so on and so forth next thing you know the person becomes addicted to the lectures and that's all they want to watch and believe me it happens very often now today one of the clips that we published came out from a lecture we did probably like a year year and a half ago and in the lecture I said that the worst punishment that a person can get in this world according to the rambam according to our tah is when AEM removes their free choice now you guys have asked me several times at least on two or three occasions questions about free choice if we have free choice then why do we get punished why do we get rewarded you guys ask me that question now I didn't tell you this part of the answer because it wasn't necessarily so relevant but there is a source in the Torah that says that Hashem could actually remove the free choice of a human being and we have at least a half a dozen examples in the Torah that shows that hasem can remove the free choice of a person as a form of punishment why the clip said that if a person makes a certain amount of sins and he does not do Chua after hasem gives him multiple opportunities gives her multiple opportunities and she doesn't do it and the sins are big sin they're not like accidental sins they're not oh I didn't mean to sins they're not oh I didn't know sins they're simply sins they know it they like it they don't care then says I've given you one chance two chance three chance four chance however many chances you had AEM gave you now I don't want you to do Chua now many people are going to say wait a minute doesn't it say that the Gates of Heaven are always open for Chua yes it does say that it does say that but there is one exception there is one exception now when I published this many people said wow scary but that's what it says that's what it says who we to contradict it if he's quoting the r ra said it R said it if R said it it's like God said it Ram there's nobody like Moshe meaning rambam says it we know for sure it's in the Tor it's not like uh his IDE aidea his thought his opinion so if the r says it that's Al that's it that's is based off mostly off of the r most of the is based off of the r most of the laws that we comply with today is based off of the rambam so if the rambam says something we're not taking it lightly at all so that's why I said in the clip now as you would have it this was spread around all over the world and one group that's in uh in England shared this uh lecture and a so-called raban religious Jewish woman commented on this and started publicly insulting me to to our viewers to all the people are in this group saying no I don't think he knows what he's talking about ah H this this is crazy this is crazy I start saying all types of nonsense so I said okay no problem maybe you don't know maybe you never heard of this rambam so we can go TI but it doesn't make any sense so I said okay you know what why waste any time let me show you the book let me just show you where the book itself you read it for yourself you have your own eyes you could read the words then you you can't blame me anymore until now if I just said it and you heard it maybe I maybe I'm wrong but if you read it in a book and the book says sign ramam then it's not me anymore then you want you have a problem go to Ram go to ra have a meeting with him he's in I'm not sure going to let you in or not but hey you could at least ask for the meaning you could at least get there you get to the door and see what happens point is if it's in a book it's in a book AB it's in a book so that's what I did I took the time I took some pictures I made some highlights I sent it to the my student who sent it to the raban and you would think the argument would be over you would be mistaken it got much worse now instead instead of saying oh the rambam said it therefore it's law therefore that's Al that's it we're finished no no my friends she went on a tangent no this is too crazy this is fanaticism you're raban you're you're you're you're you're the leader of the Next Generation now here's what it says I'm going to read it to you and you tell me what it says because maybe we maybe I misro maybe I misread it so the ra writes in chapter 6 number three a person may commit you want Hebrew English English English no just in case May m a person may commit a great sin or many sins causing the Judgment rendered before the true judge to be that the retribution the punishment administered to The Sinner for these sins which he willfully or consciously committed is that his Chua will be held back he will not be allowed to ch F to do chuba from his wickedness so that he will die and be wiped out because of the sins that he committed now which word of this says everything I said all of it so we agree we on the same page I read right now he continues for three more pages I'm not going to read you all three pages because I think you got the point but the point is is that the ramban brings several examples one of them was PA par always says paro's heart was hardened that's an example Why shows that hasem took away his free choice then it was was another another that also took away his free choice then it was also Mas Mas at some point was almost at that stage but worst of all Mas eventually did CH Mas almost got to that stage but worst of all was all of in several places in the Tor in the book of kings chter 18:37 and also in HOSA 4:1 17 the ram uses these as sources he says that you've turned their hearts backwards meaning that Hashem took away their Chua from them now the rabam goes into serious detail about about this the significance of it and the point is is that this doesn't make sense to us why doesn't make sense to us because we're rational people and we're people after all and hasm is not people and he's not rational now Shalom when he was about 18 years old 17 years old he uh took a course and he learned about the Holocaust anyone that learn about the Holocaust you see the worst of mankind documented on video in pictures horrible of horrible anyone that watched the recommended film that I gave you that I recommended a few months ago probably lost a little bit of sleep and understands what evil looks like if you haven't watched it I still recommend watching it I think every human being should watch this film at least once in their life it at least show you how bad bad really is and it'll make you feel happy about your life but nonetheless it'll show you what punishment looks like now again Shalom come come right here there's a couple of seats oh go okay come again says when he first learned about the Holocaust he just couldn't reason with he was 17 18 years old like many of you he couldn't deal with it he says he couldn't sleep for two weeks he was sick he was throwing up he just couldn't deal with it couldn't deal with the fact that 6 million Jews got murdered in Cold Blood he couldn't deal with it now anyone that ever saw this movie it's hard to see it's hard to see you see bodies thrown like masas like nothing young people babies adults all everything disgusting what they did it doesn't make any sense so he said where was God during the Holocaust it's a tough question and we've answered this question in at least six or seven lectures anyone that wants the answer you in detail you can watch those lectures I actually even have a lecture called where was God during the Holocaust but again says when he was 17 18 years old he asked this question and someone told him why don't you go meet with your neighbor he knows a lot about it he says what neighbor he says uh you go Bernard or you yug go Bergen something like that he was a friend of Einstein was alive during the Holocaust very very wellknown person he says he knows a lot about the Holocaust he's your neighbor he lives five houses away from you go ask him so he went to visit him he said yeah come back on Shabbat any questions you have I'll I'll tell you I'll give you the answers so him and you go R and you go R is not Ren yet he's still he's still young and he goes and he meets him at 10:00 in the morning on chabbat and he says can you please tell me where was God during the Holocaust and he says at that moment that moment that I asked him the question where was God during the Holocaust a little fly like a mosquito something small passed right between us you know I'm standing here he's standing in front of me and and a little mosquito passed between US just happened to so he says to me Yugo says to me he says you see that mosquito yeah just passed CU that mosquito it just passed us do you think it understands what we're talking about he says no I don't think so why not the distance between us in intellect is far away this is a mosquito with a mosquito sized brain we're humans there's no way that it understands us it's a mosquito after all says do you understand the mosquito even though it has a small brain you have a big brain does that make you understand the mosquito say no I don't understand the mosquito so the mosquito doesn't understand you and you don't understand the mosquito even though you're bigger than the mosquito says yeah he goes okay now we are even smaller than the mosquito in comparison to but he he understands us because he created us and we cannot understand him just like we can't even understand the mosquito so when you ask a question where was God during the Holocaust you have to first understand that your perspective already is starting with one leg you're already starting short Change why you don't have the whole picture you're not AEM you don't know who what when and how was how Hashem is running in the world and why he does what he does the only thing you do have is what he said so you have to look at what he said now once you look at what he said in in half of the Torah you see what he says in the laws if you follow my laws it gives you all the types of blessings you're going to get if you don't follow the laws is all the curses you're going to get so now it should lead you to another question now where was God during the Holocaust where was Amel two weeks before the Holocaust 3 weeks before the Holocaust a month before the Holocaust 6 years before the Holocaust 10 years before the Holocaust where were they were they following the law that said oh no and the professor Yugo said to him he says see when he gave us these laws he me he took it seriously we didn't take it seriously but he for sure was serious why we broke our part of the deal he kept his we broke our part of the deal we said we're going to keep the laws we didn't keep the laws over 80% of Jews were intermarried in Germany and many many high percentages across the whole world inter marriage was running rampant Jews were marrying go Jews were converting to Christianity and Catholicism on a weekly basis over 150,000 Jews fought for Nazi Germany killing other Jews they became so Christian these Jews they actually fought against other Jews 150,000 Jews fought in Hitler's army yes I'm saying it again you can check the numbers some of them even helped in concentration camps this is all documented information that nobody really wants to talk about except the people that lived in it or the people that actually read history books point is if you look at what Hashem said look at what Hashem said he kept his deal why he said if you follow the law I'm going to give you all the blessings in order if you don't follow the law these are the things I'm going to do to you in order to punish you and guess what if you read these par that I mentioned to you every single thing that happened in the Holocaust is written in the Torah it's written in toah meaning that Hashem takes his deals seriously whether we like it or not whether we agree with it or not now this may disagree with our rationale this may disagree with our little weak Hearts this may disagree with what we like but who cares you're not running the world he is that is a very serious step that each one of us needs to take in order to understand how and what Hashem is here to do and how and what we are here to do if you think you're running the world you have a very serious problem if you understand that AEM is running the world then it's a different issue now the BET continues and he says to us that if we're going to continue doing things that are against hashem's rules whether it's business or otherwise eventually all of these things will turn into snake eggs meaning it looks good from the outside but as soon as you bite in you regret the day you were born he says the intention of the PUK that says in uh in Jeremiah chapter 2 verse 13-1 17 is a kadh who is crying to is he says they left they left me for what for Christianity they left me for Buddhism they left me for Wall Street they left me for something else and he says you two wrongs did my people do they forsook me the source of Living Waters to heue from themselves broken water holes that cannot contain water this is what you did for yourselves in forsaking Hashem and now what do you have from going to MIT to drink the brackish Waters in so many words what ends up happening is that sometimes we don't like what Hashem said in the Torah we don't like what he's doing in order to run our life he's giving us different problems and we don't like it so sometimes people make the mistake of blaming God for their problems so somebody says to me all the time it says you know ever since I did Chua ever since I started keeping shabat my whole life went upside down ever since I started wearing my whole life went upside down ever since I started learning T my whole life went upside down they're thinking that it's the toah that caused their life to go upside down little do they know that that it's possible it's actually possible and even likely that had they not started keeping Shabbat had they not started putting on had they not started doing chuva they could have done just enough sins to fall into the definition of what the rambam says where hasem says I've had enough of you no Chua for you I'll let you live but no Chua do what you want why I'll deal with you later I'll deal with you later how do you know somebody got to that point abai I can't tell you for sure but I can tell you a hint what's a hint the guy goes through his life sees all types of Miracles sees he's M cured from cancer cured from cancer he gets all types of Miracles left and right he tell him listen why you start keeping Shabbat why said so what so said that's a person that possibly is in this definition why he has no conscience whatsoever no feeling whatsoever that he needs to change at all he has no desire whatsoever to follow what Hashem says not because he doesn't like Hashem not because he hates Hashem not because he doesn't believe in Hashem but simply because he doesn't feel the need hasem removed that desire from him that's a very dangerous situation or perhaps the most dangerous there is sometimes when people do mitv and then they regret them they lose on both ends one they lose the reward they got for that Mitzvah but two they could turn that mitvah into one big one big sin so you should never ever say that ever since I did Chua my whole life is upside down I regret it never regret something good that you did because you're not going to get anything out of it Anyway by the way other than lose now the BET continues and he says when we leave AEM because we see that our life is going upside down and we're blaming God for it meaning that we think that it's because we're following God we're actually getting punished not only is this irrational but Hashem says look what they did they left me the source of all water what's giving them life the one thing that's giving them the parasa the one thing that's giving them the opportunity to live a fantastic eternity and they're exchanging me with a box of potatoes they're exchanging me with a job that they're going to make an extra $5 an hour on the weekend they're exchanging Me by some woman that is not even Jewish but they figured that you know what maybe I'll I'll convert her one day maybe I'll do this one day maybe I'll do that one day they're exchanging me for a broken hole The Well of water The Well of endless water they're exchanging for some hole in a desert that's empty secondly the BET says they turned to doing things that were not proper because because they trusted that other people or practices would give them greater success than me what happens often is that Jewish people make a mistake of their life by thinking that maybe if I go do business with a bunch of Christians in their church then maybe I'll have better lock than doing business with Jewish people in a synagogue the problem with that I that mentality is that by default you're giving people regardless of whether they're Jews or not you're giving them too much power you're thinking that your success is in their hands this is the reason why people rationalize that the Jewish people need the Christians because we need them to help us with Donald Trump and with the government and with funding IDF and with funding all types of weapon systems to protect us against the Arabs to protect us against the uh this one and that one no one is actually thinking for a second you do realize that God runs the world and he is the one that decides whether the Rockets will land or not whether the Arabs would shoot the Rockets or not whether anything will happen or not is in his hands meaning he is just using these different people Jews or non-jews in order to do his will anyway now there's something that all of us say but very few of us actually take into consideration God is the king now presently God was the king and God will God will be the king now technically it doesn't make sense it should be past present future a but it doesn't say that it says now hem is the king now and then it says Hashem was the king and Hashem will be the king anybody have any uh idea of why it says so why we're present then past then Future No that's all that counts it's all that counts meaning the now is that counts okay time is beyond time okay no what about you you have you have your hands raised basically the Pres is uh relevant to people now the present is relevant to people now okay no tell about what you did the past or what you did in the future you have to just make sure you're doing the right thing now okay good so is like you're saying you have to have an understanding of what's going on now what's going on now but that still doesn't change the fact you should consider your past you should consider your past why some people say let past is past past is the what can I do about the past let the past be the past this is the wrong attitude why you need to know where you've been in order to know where you're going you need to learn from your past learn what worked learn what what failed for you individually for your family and for your people we have a tah that tells us things that happened in the past because we need to learn from them in order to know how we could change our present why because the only thing that is in our hands is the present like you said but if you don't look at the past then the present will never change and your future is a disaster waiting to happen now some people don't really think too much about it they just do whatever it is whatever goes goes they don't think about what happened in the past what failed in the past what worked in the past they don't really want to learn from their parents and how they failed and how they succeeded they don't want to learn from their teachers and how they failed and how they succeeded they don't want to learn from the tah and how they failed and how they succeeded they don't want to learn from the past they want to do everything based on their own diet based on their own blood problem is that's a very stupid person because you could learn a very painful lesson for free by simply looking at how it worked for somebody else but sometimes people will say okay the past is the past but maybe for me it's going to work I'll just worry about it when I get there what is that like one time a guy comes back from the King worried sees his friend say what happened goes I don't know the king lost his mind he go what what happened what did he say to you I he said to me that uh if I don't train this dog to pray he's going to kill me and my whole family he goes okay good so did you bring the dog goes no what do you mean bring the dog I don't know I can't train this dog to to pray so his friend says okay don't worry I'll take care of it friend goes to the king comes back with the dog go what' you do how'd you do it he said he gave me a deal what's the deal train the dog to pray he goes you're going to train the dog to pray listen I told the king what do you want he says I want my dog to learn how to pray I want my dog to learn how to pray I said no problem no problem two things number one I need 15 gold coins for each year I'm gonna train him King says no problem I'll pay you two years in advance here you go you go a second requirement it's going to take me 15 years to teach him how to really pray teacher matter really pray him to me 15 years King says no problem you got it money is going to be given to you right now I'm looking forward to seeing my my dog pray so his friend says to him he goes so what are you going to do once 15 years passes and the dog doesn't know how to pray he says listen in 15 years the king's going to die the dog's going to die or I'm going to die somebody has to die in 15 years so I'll worry about it when I get there most likely the dog's going to die in 15 years but even if he doesn't die maybe the king's going to die if he doesn't die then I have to die I'll worry about it when I get there some people act like this some people make very big moves today thinking that they're not going to have to worry about it then I'll deal with it once I get down the road and that's why it says a as the first one if you start dealing with today as if it's the most important by looking at the past and making sure you make the corrections of whatever correction you need to make first then your future will look much better than it then your future will be something to look forward to but if you simply ignore the past then there's nothing to look forward as far as the future now what if you're always thinking about the past if you're harping on the past then you're living in the past then you're not living in the future you're not living in the present and you won't have a future either you know in the business World a lot of kids would come to me and they say listen you know last month I made a deal for $100,000 you know last month I made a deal for half a million dollar you know 6 months ago I made a deal for a million do you know 3 years ago I made a deal for $2 million you know my response was every single time they told me that who cares what you did yesterday it paid the bills yesterday I need to pay the bills today today I need to pay the bills the only thing that's going to pay the bills today is a deal today not a deal 6 months ago 6 months ago is not going to pay today's bills I already spent that money I need money today go make another million dollar deal or go find another job why that's all that matters that's all that matters in the world if you're going to constantly think about what I did when I was 7 years old and what I did when I was 18 years old and what I did when I was 28 years old and what I did when I was 38 years old you're going to constantly live in the past and guess what not only your is your present going to be some disaster but your future is nothing to look forward to why you're not going to be able to pay the bills you're not going to be able to pay the bills you have to understand the past is only something to use for learning purposes meaning look at the past take the pieces that are valuable and use it for the present in order to change the future but if you're going to harp on the past you're going to count the money you're going to count the chickens that you already ate guess what you're going to die starving they're going to die starving why because you ate them already they left your body they became part of the soil they don't matter today today is what matters I could use some strategies from the past to help my today in order to improve my tomorrow but as far as banking on my yesterday how is that ever going to help anybody but unfortunately the Satan constantly tries to convince us to look at our past and live at our past and think that if we could have done something if I would have done something different then this would have been different and that would have been different this is like the uh the lotto the lotto joke you guys ever heard the lotto joke guy and his guy and his father go to the lotto store and or the deli they buy a lotto tiet it jackpot I don't know zillion dollars and they go back in the car and they uh kid says to the father he like Dad what are you going to do if we win the jackpot said first thing I'm buying a Ferrari I've always wanted a Ferrari you know one of the fancy schmancy cars half a million dollars it's like all right Dad well listen I think it's a good purchase just make sure you buy this specific model but I get next I I drive next he goes heyy we'll see well at least I'm going to sit in the front with you he goes no you're not going to sit in the front with me your mom is going to sit next in the front with me I'm not going to let you sit in the front with me your mom my mom I married her for 20 years she has to sit in the front he goes no ABA come on it's not possible how I went and bought the ticket with you I bought the ticket with you how is she going to sit in the front if I bought the ticket with you and they go back and forth and they start arguing goes son you know what get out of the car get out of the they got into some imagination as if they won the car so the father says get out of the car the Satan tries to convince us to live in the past to live in an imagination as if we would have done something then something would have changed and something would have changed and this is the Satan fooling us into spending our time and our efforts on things that we cannot change you cannot change the past therefore the past is only there for you to learn from take the few pieces that are valuable and relevant to you today in order to change today in order to influence tomorrow and make tomorrow better than yesterday but if you harp on the past and count all of the mistakes you make and start crying about all of them without learning from them but just commiserating and telling everybody all the mistakes that youve made in the last 20 30 years then guess what you're never going to be able to move forward you're going to be Manic the present and your future is going to be even worse than your past now the BET gives us many many hints about people that make these mistakes unintentionally because no normal person makes these mistakes intentionally at least doesn't seem like they would but he says that the torat tells us that we are afflicted by our own evil when we make mistakes we think that Hashem is punishing us for those mistakes but sometimes really it's our own actions that are causing certain things to happen you made certain errors in your business you did business illegally and therefore you got caught and got arrested this is not AEM punishment in you this is you punishing yourself you did something illegally eventually you got caught that's it so sometimes we do bad things and then when bad things happen to us as a result we think that it's God punishing us only no it's actually you punish yourself from doing it in the first place you made a mistake in the first place you married the wrong girl you married the wrong guy why you thought that money was important so therefore you married that guy well eventually you found out that money is not that important the guy is important and the guy is not all that the guy wasn't exactly what uh what what it says in the box but you didn't look at it you looked at what the bank account says or vice versa the guy thinks that the looks matter he didn't think that maybe the religion matters also the ideology matters also the future perspective and what she thought and what she thinks and what she wants all that stuff matter also he didn't think that into consideration he just thought oh this is good arm candy this good to show off to my friends well that didn't work out so well many times we make decisions based on our own error based on our own wrong perspective and Hashem eventually allows things to materialize and when they materialize they materialize in a awful way and we think oh why is Hashem doing this to me little do we know that sometimes it's hasem doing us a favor how so if somebody stole n him if somebody stole somebody stole and hasem sent the police to his house and he got caught now you think oh this is a punishment well let's see if he didn't send the police to catch him he didn't send the FBI he didn't send a SWAT team to break down his doors break down his windows 50 people you know came into the house treat him like he's Tony Montana or something okay arrested him put him in jail for 5 years what's the alternative he would have continued stealing says you give somebody 100 he wants 200 you give him 200 he wants 400 you want 400 he wants 800 meaning that no amount is enough so what happens with the guy that starts stealing apples eventually he starts stealing something that's more valuable than an apple eventually steals two apples then five apples then apples are not enough so he steals a uh a phone then a phone's not enough so he steals some cash and a and a wallet then that's not enough so he steals uh maybe uh something else it's more valuable maybe a car if that's not enough he starts robbing Banks and that's too dangerous so he starts a Ponzi scheme he starts telling people listen invest with me and I'll invest your money and so on and so forth and people send him millions of dollars but he doesn't invest a single dollar why because he takes all the money and he steals it this happens every day this doesn't this doesn't happen overnight this happens over an extended period of time they started with an apple and eventually becomes a Ponzi scheme that could be worth billions of dollar Bernie maid off did not start by stealing $60 billion he started as a kid not listening to God and stealing every single thing that he ever ate in his life was stolen why he drank and never said thank you he ate and never said Thank you says every time you benefit in this world without thanking God you just stole from God so if you feel comfortable to steal from God what's to stop you from stealing from people when hem sends a person to SWAT team to break down his door and to arrest him and put him in jail for a few years it's really hasem doing him a favor why because now he's putting an end to that stealing at least for now and he's giving that person an opportunity to change their ways although under influence they're going to be in a small little room for a little while with a few new friends that may want to know them a little bit too well but nonetheless you're going to get to know some people and you're going to get to know hasem whether you like it or not now at that moment you have a choice when I finish this sentence in jail for two years for three years for 5 years for 10 years am I going to go back and do the same thing again and just try harder not to get caught or will I lead a better life now if the person chooses to go back to that life again they could make just enough sins in order to fall into that definition that the WR tried to warn us so well about in chapter 3 number three chapter 6 number three which is a person can make certain types of sins where AEM has enough he doesn't even mention what kind of sins they are he doesn't say it's Shabbat it's it's he doesn't say it's big sins he doesn't even say it's a single sin he just says it's a culmination of sins Hashem just decides enough's enough I don't want you to do jua which means that when hasem sent the swan team he was trying to help this guy not get to that point not get to that point of unforgivable change your way I sent you something that was difficult I sent you something that was a nightmare but it was in order to save you from a much bigger and longer lasting nightmare if a person looks at things that way then they see even the most most difficult things in their life as a positive thing if a person doesn't if a person thinks that they're in control of themselves they're in control of the outcomes of everything it's very hard to see anything positive in the world now the BET continues and he says when a person tries to purify his deeds by increasing his trust in he'll end up having less toil he'll end up having to work Less in order to acquire work what he actually needs part of the benefit that a person gets when they acquire tah when they start learning to they start fulfilling the t is AEM takes some of the responsibility that a typical person would have in this world from them average person has to deal with the DMV the IRS the uh insurance agencies insurance companies all types of government institutions average person has to spend you know at least I don't know one or two days a month on some type of really long line they don't want to be on a person that follows t to the extent where they take the burden of t as a serious priority in their life Hashem says I'll take the burden of the regular World from you many times you don't see him on the those lines you don't see him dealing with those things you don't see them having to do much of that now you're going to see religious people there but you're not going to see there that's part of the benefit that give certain people but obviously in order to fulfill their Tor to that extent they have to believe in what it says and not just to read it like a computer now the midash says fortunate as the person who hasem who makes hem his security that is yadik that is jadik and he does not turn to the Arrogant it's because YF was on such a great level of trust in hasem that he should have understood that his salvation would not come to the Assurance of men so here he's saying in something very interesting he says fortunate as a person who has confidence in hem just like yadik had in hasem now yadik knew that his Ro in the world is very different than his brothers when he exposed his dream to his brothers his brothers didn't really take it too kindly they thought that he's trying to steal the position so despite the fact that they threw him in a hole and wanted to kill him at no point did y sadik think that his role changed that he was being punished by hasem at no point did he get depressed how do we know this sadik was in the hole in those days the jail was a hole in the ground a huge hole in the ground and and everything filthy was in this hole aside from the people that were criminals all their filth was in the hole with them everything was there most people cannot survive going to a public bathroom without covering their face most people cannot go to a public bathroom sometimes because of how bad it smells imagine living in one 500 times worse because it's never clean a hole in the ground for 10 years and still being happy how do we know he still happy because says that prophecy is not something that is found among people that are unhappy where do we know we know from y's father mourned over y over 20 years because he thought he died and he couldn't get over it and technically we'd say wait a minute wasn't he a prophet shouldn't he have known what's the future what's the past what's going on in heaven says yes you should have known but because he was sad because he was sad he couldn't that prophecy was taken away from him that prophecy was y did not have prophecy for over 20 years that's why his name changed in that par from is back to yob and as soon as he heard about Yik being alive it turned back from yov back to is when it's referring to yov as is it's referring to yov as having prophecy when it's yov yov then it's referring to yov without prophecy now YF on the other hand was not mourning for 10 20 years opposite he was happy why was he happy how do we know he was happy because when the two Egyptians came to him and they told him his their dreams he gave them comments on it he told them exactly what it says and what's going to happen to them in the future meaning he knew the future how can you know the future and be depressed you can't therefore we see from there that despite the fact that YF was inside a hole in the middle of the Ground full of Filth he was still happy as can be why because he had inem running the world he says hem put me here there must be a reason there must be a good reason there must be a good reason that has put put me in his hole and that's why YF actually asked theem to put him in there for two more years we think that Hashem punished him by putting him in the hole for two more years after he asked the Egyptian listen once you go to par and tell him about that I interpreted your dream tell him that uh I'm here I'm innocent don't uh you know just just I'm just let you know and says the Egyptian forgot to remember him says forget twice he forgot to remember your what does it mean he forgot to remember him what does it mean he forgot to remember him as soon as YF realized that he just asked help from a human being instead of asking Hashem for help he prayed to Hashem Hashem please have him forget me please have him forget me have him forget me completely why because I said it twice please remember to remember me so for each time I said Remember Have him forget me twice double and for that hasem he said hasem put him in in that prison for another two more years why because JF did not want to ever be viewed in shim as if someone that actually relied on a human being the point being AB if a person gets to such a level that he trusts in hasem 100% like yadik that's a person that reached the ultimate level because such a person can see the greatest and the best version of the world regardless of what's happening in his life whether it's good things that are happening he's making good money he got a good job he has a wife and kid kids she has a husband and kids she has what she needs and so on and so forth or Shalom a few hicups in that same equation somebody wakes up one day and they're having SCH bite problems somebody wakes up one day and uh they have a little bit of pain on the side somebody wakes up one day and there's some money missing from the bank account somebody wakes up one day and they got a letter from the IRS and it's not such a nice letter they're not telling you we just checking how you doing they want to audit you or they want to this they want to that a person that has confidence in hasem that understands that whether it's the good message or the one that looks bad both are coming from Hashem that person will live a life that's like heaven that's Heaven before even getting to Heaven why because such a person that understands that Hashem runs the world not only is he benefit it by having the right perspective of who runs the show and what's really going on and this big puzzle but even more so it's very easy for that person to do chuva why now if a person thinks Hashem runs the world which means if my wife yelled at me this morning it's not really my wife Hashem allowed my wife to look at what I did in a wrong way whether right or wrong is irrelevant she saw what I did she disagreed with it she got offended by it and therefore she led out on me or the kids really annoyed her and uh therefore she decided to L out on me so Hashem allowed my wife to yell at me it's not that my wife doesn't like me no no Hashem is talking to me through my wife she yelled at me hashem's yelling at me he yelled at me Hashem is yelling at me so first thing in the morning already all your schum bite problems gone why you're never going to be mad at your wife once again you're never going to be mad at your husband ever again why it's not her she yelled at you says oh hasem I'm sorry I'm sorry Hashem you're saying I'm sorry to her also but you're sorry to why because you know that he allowed this to happen because you have a with him you have an accounting with him she cursed you because he's cursing you he yelled at you because he yelled that you the only things that are happening in your life are things that hasem allows to happen and a person that understands that will never have sh B problems why he knows that all of the difficult that he h difficulties that he has are coming from hasem meaning that anytime you want something to be fixed that means you have to fix your relationship with him there's something going on there's something going on if there's a disagreement between your you and your wife okay what's the disagreement about oh we're disagreeing about how to discipline our kids that's a very common disagreement we're disagreeing how to discipline our kids okay so what what's your side what's our side oh I say this no no no I didn't say what's your side like what's your opinion what's her opinion that's not the question which one of you is agreeing with the Torah you or her I don't know oh he didn't check against the ruler we have a ruler we have a Torah Torah says Foundation of Education comes from the wife the of the kids comes from the wife so if you tell your wife listen you don't know what you're doing and uh she's trying to discipline the 8 9 10 11 12 year olds and you're telling her no you don't know what you're doing guess what you're violating the toah you're trying to steal her job in the world you have a problem you are that's whym is having her yell at you because hasm is yelling at you Hashem is telling you get out of the kitchen it's not your job point being abai if a person understands that a runs the world he starts looking at things that way he starts seeing wait a minute she's yelling at me because hm is yelling at me he's yelling at me because hm is yelling at me okay now I understand I have to fix something next a person starts seeing that he's losing money okay let's check why am I losing money why is hasem taking away the money that he gave me if he already sent me to go work for the money why is he taking the money back even though I'm I worked I paid my dues what am I doing so you look at the ruler again you know that hasem is doing it so you have to look at the ruler what am I doing that's against the Torah that hasem says that if you do this I'm going to take your money I'll give you a few hints one do you keep Shabbat you don't keep Shabbat all better off why hasem says you don't keep Shabbat I'm G take your money so how do you explain some people that violate shabat but they're very very rich well like I said some people hasem punishes them in a different way he allows them to keep violating Shabbat because eventually he's going to deal with them in a different world under different circumstances and also just because somebody has a very good job that pays a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean they have a good life just a little bit of a footnote point being is that you look at what am I doing that's causing me to lose money Hashem says if you violate Shabbat that's going to cause loss of money hasem says if you waste seed that's going to cause loss of money Hashem says if you have no schom that's going to cause loss of money Hashem says if you do business unethically that's going to cause loss of Slow Money of of money just a handful of different things that cause a Los loss of money there are obviously others but the point is is that if you look at the ruler you'll see that there's an answer to your issues you'll see there's an answer to your issues so already you're going to stop violating all of these big things because you realize wait how could I violate Shabbat Hashem is running the world Hashem is here he's watching he's watching me drive on Shabbat I believe that hem is the one that gives me p and I'm still going to drive on Shabbat I believe that Hashem runs the world and I'm still going to eat pork I believe that hem runs the world and I'm still going to disobey him in his face automatically your perspective of things change it becomes much easier to do CH because now you now have a ruler that's constantly in your mind that's why it says I constantly compare I constantly consider the fact that hem is next to me at all times but sh it's like compared what compared like a ruler you compare what you have versus the ruler if this is straight then next to the ruler then it's straight but if the ruler is straight but your line is a different way there something wrong with your line not with the ruler so that's what constantly did he constantly compared his actions versus the ruler versus theah doing CH becomes much easier once you understand that runs the world if a person tries to rationalize all of these different things tries to make sense of everything at all times he's had a very very hard time at certain points because certain things that Hashem do does don't make sense to us he simply has to compare his actions to what the ruler says to what says last but not least and then you guys could ask any questions you have we can finish for the night which is the other that we have the based on even preceded the ram says that the first commandment the first commandment that we have in it in the Ten Commandments is that I am God that took you out of Egypt why does a god remind us that he took us out of Egypt why didn't he say like somebody asked the other day how come say I'm God that uh created the world if you remember the answer is that he says I'm God that took you out of Egypt because the taking us out of Egypt was witnessed by millions and millions of people the creation of the world was witnessed by no one but the Lord says he says that the reason why hasem made this is the first commandment is because he's giving us a commandment not only to know that he's the one that took us out of Egypt back then but he's also the only one that could take us out of Egypt today Egypt not just literally speaking 3,000 years ago but your own personal Egypt your own personal Exodus your own personal issues that you have he is the only salvation nothing else can save you not your wife not your husband not your kids not your cousin not your money not your brain not your career nothing can save you the says this is the obligation of you have to believe in Divine Providence that hem is the only one that's going to care for you save you watch you and do anything that needs to be done for you it's the only salvation it's the only thing that's available out there if you follow if you follow it then you're fulfilling the entire Tor says if you fail it's like you're C by the entire Torah if you think that your salvation will come from somewhere else it's going to come from Donald Trump it's going to come from the Christians it's going to come from the bank it's going to come from some investor it's going to come from some woman or some man it's going to come from something other thanm that's actually which says will eventually lead you to be a heretic against the entire Tor because if you think that your salvation can come from something else other than God then at some point that issue will be recreated somewhere else that safic that doubt that shortcut will be done somewhere else eventually you find yourself saying yeah but you know since my salvation came from there then maybe certain things change in aah Maybe when hasm says don't light fire on Shabbat he didn't really mean don't light fire like cars He meant just don't light bonfires or maybe he meant don't drive a car on Shabbat unless it's a Lamborghini if it's a Lamborghini it's a nice car then you're like to because on that's on Shabbat driving a nice Lamborghini 250 mil hour 0 to 60 and three and a half seconds for sure you're allowed to do it on Shabbat on Shabbat he starts rationalizing all the in his head that it's allowed no said don't marry the non-jew because she's they're probably not good-looking but today there's some good-looking non-jews so now you're allowed to marry them maybe no don't eat non koser unless it's delicious if it's delicious you're allowed to have a bite he starts rationalizing and breaking down everything in some irrational way and it all starts with a doubt of Doubt of the Divine Providence doubt that Hashem runs the world World cares about everything and is the only one that could bring any and every salvation that's available to you in the world if you think your salvation can even come from anywhere else other than Hashem you're already knocking on the wrong door and that's one of the most important things for a person to do cha for and it's relatively simple it's a decision it's hard to do it's a very very serious commitment to constantly figure out a way how to convince your yourself to remind yourself constantly that your salvation is only going to come from Hashem because you have to remind yourself of this every day even though it happened yesterday you have to remind yourself again tomorrow and then and when does this happen when is it most difficult when you have most questions every day when things are going good it's easy it's easy to have it's easy to have when everything is going okay you have a little bit of money in the bank you are married you have kids you're whatever all if everything in your life is going okay it's easy to not to have any questions not have any doubts it's easy but that's not what Hashem is talking about Hashem when he told us I took you out of Egypt is that he's reminding us of the most difficult experience in the history of the world when we were all slaves watching babies 150 Jewish babies being murdered every morning and 150 more being murdered at night just for to take the blood and take a bath in it imagine Guy's excited I'm gonna have a kid the wife is carrying the kid for nine months finally she has the kid her comes out of the body already by the time the kid comes out they take the kid and murder him so can use a little bit of his blood for a shower I mean how how horrible is this sound it's even more horrible in reality so what we experien in Egypt there's nothing worse than that Hashem says the first mitvah in the Ten Commandments is to remember I'm the only one that saved you out of the worst of the worst which means if I saved you from the worst of the worst surely I can save you from something today whatever it may be whatever it may be which means that you have to be reminded of this not when things are good not when it's easy to believe in hasem but the opposite when you have the most amount of questions when things don't make any sense when you fail a test that you studied for when you get rejected for a job you're qualified for when the shid breaks up even though she told you she loves you when shid breaks up even though he told you he loves you when the marriage breaks up even though you did everything right when the bank breaks even though you've invested everything into it when the deal doesn't work out even though you've invested everything in anything you could possibly do when you did everything and all hell breaks loose don't lose hope look at AEM and say okay AEM I know it's you I know it's you I know it's you and I know eventually you're going to let me know why this is good for now the only thing that's good about it is that I know it's from you I know it's ABA I know it's from ABA if it's from ABA it has to be good it has to be good but that means that you're not going to break along the way you're not going to start violating Shabbat because of it you're not going to start making all types of sins because things are not going according to your plan you can't say no no I believe in hem I believe in hem I believe it's all going to work out while you're violating the entire to waiting for things to work out like you have something Tye of a blackmail relationship with hem where you tell hm listen uh I'll do what you want me to do do when you do what I want you to do it doesn't work that way the way it works is you do what you're supposed to do regardless of what he does regardless of what he does and don't ever blame the Torah for your problems it could be that the problems are the reason why you're still alive cuem is giving you these problems in order to eliminate much bigger problems later on so with that being said I'll open up for any other questions please anybody same price usually camera goes off this 15 questions so I'll give you guys a moment yes it's off topic with pretty much everything but um in all other that we say we say the first and then we do the the Mitzvah Why by washing for bread first wash and then say the BR after well you do on washing also right but you say it after don't say the you don't say the bre before says you say it first you do Oh you mean you wash your hands first and then and then you do the blessing why is it in the uh in the blessing why is why do you wash your hands first and then the blessing yeah that's what you're asking you should have asked the question on Wednesday we got 50 bucks have enough huh should be clean what so you should be T you should be clean that's why then you no but the thing is though the to doesn't work I give you that answer but it's not it's not doesn't work and the reason why is because I I like the answer but it's not the right answer because why you have two types of you have two first is in the morning second is before you eat bread now in the morning the says why do in the morning it's you have to do to get rid of certain that you have on your fingers certain certain uh spirits that you have in your fingers that uh are uh not good to have one of the this is one of the children of the Satan himself and it's better that a person chops off his hand than touch his body before washing his hands in the morning so here we see that you wash your hands which qualifies what is what is the answer wash your hands and then do the blessing the problem is that there's a contradiction what's the contradiction when you wash your hands for bread you wash your hands for bread your hands are clean there's no on your hands when you wash your hands for bread why you wash your hands for bread cleanliness that's the reason you're not washing your hands to clean any Spirits your hands are clean you wash your hands for cleanliness that's the reason you should be CLE no but you wash your hands and do the blessing already on in the morning yeah but during the day you right but the first but it contradicts the first answer the first answer is contradict though how come how come I wash my hands in the morning it's not for cleaning this it's for to get out of the the other one but the second one listen it could be right but I don't I don't I don't I don't think the uh thing even the ones I want to say you have to be clean before it's still you have to wash again yeah no you're supposed to be clean that's the reason why you wash your hands before you before you eat before you eat you're supposed to be clean but as far as the reason why you wash in the morning is to get rid of the yes T that's the reason has nothing to do with claim this because every all no that's all the reason why you can't talk is because you're supposed to have kav from the time that you wash your hands all the way till you eat your bread because if you talk that means you lost kav you have to wash your hands again you're supposed to have kav on the bread it's supposed to be one continuous mitvah from tovah it's but you're supposed to have on that mitvah for example if you if you uh say if you're in the house or in an office and you want to do one blessing one blessing for let's say Shak you want everything you say in your mind everything that I'm going to eat Shak is on one blessing so you do one blessing and as long as you are Under One Roof you don't need to do it you water and any anything that you eat at sha is under that one blessing but if you leave the house for a moment you just go take out the garbage you have to do again you have to sha again why because your kav was discontinued meaning it's this same concept when you wash your hands all the way to to doing the uh the M but when it comes to when it comes to his question as far as why do you why do you do the blessing that way I honestly don't know heard another one should I wait for Wednesday ask Wednesday May get 50 bucks but it's a good question I don't know I don't know I don't know why the uh why the answer is that I got no you can ask more questions I'm just saying it's a uh I don't I don't think that uh I don't think I get to on Sundays for these questions I'm only says that you can allow to ask a the rebi questions of of a different when he's on one ritual or mid the says is the meaning that uh if a person does not change his mid there's no point of his existed why are you alive if you don't change your mid to choose oring the ritual what should he choose what's what do you mean ritual ritual any ritual put anything like no but that's no but that's mitvah it's not ritual ritual sounds more like a custom the if a person fix their mid they can only fix their mid through the they can't fix their mid without for example like if you go to like self-help gurus uh like Tony Robbins and the rest of these people they're going to tell you that you shouldn't express your anger they're not going to tell you don't get angry and tell you don't express your anger the says why don't express your anger because it's uh it's demeaning to other people uh it's not nice anger is not a nice thing Tora says you're not allowed to get angry Tora doesn't say don't get keep your anger to yourself in your stomach because that's how you get cancer T says you're not allowed to get angry why if you have if you understand who's running the world there's nothing to be angry about and if you express your anger that's page 105 B point is is that if a person understands the tah and he Compares it to the gurus of the secular world it's two different worlds so we see here that to fix your mid to fix your character traits can only be done truly if you follow the mitv if you're using the mitv as the would say he said that you use the mitv in order to fixture midot and vice versa but to fixture midot without mitv is a uh is a flawed system simply because you're not going to have enough reason to fix those mitv during difficulty mean okay so you're going to be able to control your anger until it's too far until it's a somebody uh crosses that line whereas if you're doing it because it's a mitvah you're not you're simply not going to get angry if you've overcome the test you get angry say you're getting angry can they P you to death no no meaning that if it's in sh you're supposed to you're supposed to the says if you look at somebody to express their anger not just getting angry Express their anger by taking something and throwing it taking money and throwing it breaking something then you should look at that person as idolator not idolator that's punished by bed as death penalty but idolator meaning that at that moment until that person does chuva you have to consider him as an idol worshiper what's the difference between to pagan gods and what being angry as a very big difference one per a person that bows to an idol they have to give him death penalty a person that's a viewed as an idol worshipper is just viewed as an idol worshipper so you're not allowed to use him as a Ed you're not allowed to uh you know you're not allowed to uh use him as a as a witness you're not allowed to count him in monetarily uh but you're not you're not a uh you're not uh killing him you don't have the right to kill him killing him is a uh first of we don't have the right to kill anybody today but the point is is that even in those days somebody that expressed their anger wouldn't killed it's it's divine it's divine there's certain K there's two types there's three types of K there's certain types of sins that only Hashem uh punishes and there certain types of sins that the bed punishes so this is the type of sin that we view it as a but we don't have a right to punish anybody you don't get like malot for it or anything like for being angry but the person is viewed as a but again he's it's very easy CH he stops being angry and uh moves on with his life but whereas a person that's an idol worshiper it's much more difficult to get rid of that Tuma than uh than to stop being angry so two different worlds isn't it good if you get angry and Mak you focus what you want you don't want now you're motiv before you getting angry makes you focused how does your angry make focused that's what does your anger something you don't something you think that should have happened happened so now you say that's a very rational way of looking at things incorrectly uh says that page 66b says that someone that gets angry a person that gets angry his wisdom escapes him one of some of the examples one of the best examples ISU mosu got angry and he forgot the forgot which in you saw that uh Z was sinning with Aya and Pinas came to Moshe says listen didn't you just teach us that uh when a Jew sins with the Goya and other people see it then you are allowed to a zealous person is allowed to kill the person and mosu says yeah you're right you said you go do it so the question is how comeu didn't do it there's a couple of answers but one of the answers because for because he got angry point he also Al there's other other spots that it mentioned that point being is that is a Tor says that when a person gets angry he does not get focused it's the opposite he loses his Focus he loses his uh his sense of reality uh and he loses his wisdom I meant like that's if the anger takes control of you then you all that what if you what if you have no control over it and you don't L then you're not getting angry because if you see evil you're going to have to get angry have Angry doesn't that say those of you who love God must hate evil okay you get angry you see that evil hate it and anger is two different things though there are certain there are certain things that you're that you're obligated to hate there certain things that it's a mitv to hate but anger is an expression of anger are two different things expression of anger like for example if somebody takes something and breaks it as a result of their anger that means that the anger took control but if somebody is simply uh you know is upset that something wrong is happening for example is a gay parade if you're not angry there's something wrong with you why because says this is disgusting in my eyes okay when when when there not only if if there's two people that commit homosexual acts it's already considered an Abomination if 15,000 publicize an Abomination that should that's much worse why Imagine This all of you I'm sure love your parents or love somebody in your life okay should be your parents too now imagine somebody says to you you know what your uh your mom your dad is U I like them oh okay good you're GNA give him a hug yeah I like them too but if he starts uh saying no you know what your dad your mom they're fools you're not going to like it so much you're not going to like it so much if they start cursing them saying Oh your mom and dad like giving you Every curse under the book you're not going to like it what's much worse that person taking a billboard paying $200,000 a month and putting on every billboard on the highway about your dad your mom is such an such and such and such and such and such signed such and such your friend if you that's much worse it's much worse than him telling you that your dad is a bad person or good person or so on you put a billboard the gay parades and things that are similar to it are no different no different why it's publicizing the Abomination something that is called an Abomination it's publicly insulting a if you're not upset at that there's something wrong with you so point being is that it's a uh same thing with Christianity anyone that uh does not find Christianity detestable there's something wrong with you I'm not saying go kill Christians or go kill homosexuals or go kill anyone but it should disgust you why Christianity is idolatry they pray to a person sometimes Jews pray to a person that should also disgust you so point being is that certain things are disgusting to AEM it should disgust you if it doesn't disgust you then there's some type of break between you and hem like you're not seeing things as clearly as you should that's it but it should disgust you the more closer you are to Hashem the more these things disgust you or affect you in general yes uh is homosexuality one of the Shadow may know yes yes of course it is can even even even homosexual even uh Noyes are not allowed to uh not allowed to commit homosexuality no it's part of adultery can can can the the seven it's not only seven it's it's it's like the Ten Commandments Ten Commandments breaks up into the 613 rules break up into about 60 rules it's all the ethical rules laws so uh some of them include like for example uh they have to Noyes also have to honor their parents even though it's not one of the seven literally it's still one of the obligations of the noids so uh uh homosexuality is also part of the uh part of the things that uh hasem says forbidden for everybody yes and someone says no it's the changes everything what do you mean that's creating a new religion R says death penalty yeah of course Islam is because Islam did not change the Torah no they don't worship a man no no the uh the rambam writes that if a Christian touches wine then it's considered wine and the reason why is because the Christians actually worship a person and they also split God into three and they did several different things that made their religion into idolatry God is three instead of one and also God is man instead of being uh being no no goof no mut goof so they have something called so the point is the r that Christianity is 100% idolatry Christian uh that's Christianity um as far as Islam is concerned Islam does not change the tah as far as the Old Testament the tah that we have they simply said that they have a continuation by this illiterate person named Muhammad who didn't know how to read or write but somehow said that he uh met some uh Angel he met Angel Gabriel in the middle of the desert with no Witnesses and he told somebody everything that he said to him but he says everybody needs to follow God everyone needs to do what God says God is one Allah means the same thing as God as AEM there's no difference between it to uh they're not praying to a different God they're not worshiping Muhammad they're not saying that Muhammad is a uh what's called is a pece of God or anything like that or that God is a three or anything like that so that's it so it's not AB it is heresy in the Book of Daniel commentary in Book of Daniel says that the uh Muslims that will go against the Jews at the end of times will get punished even worse than the uh worse than the Christians uh because they use the Torah and uh against their own people in order to become Heretics but it doesn't make them Idol worshippers they're not Idol worshippers in Islam they also say that the true Tor was corrupted by the rabbi so whatever Tor they say say they don't change they really do they CLA the Quran they CLA so by definition they are not no not not that's not that's not precise that's not precise if you look at some of the uh Scholars of of Islam uh some of them are very smart people and uh the argument is different the argument is different the argument is a combination of Heretics that are Jews as well as Heretics that are Christians as well as Heretics that are uh Muslims uh and some of the speakers uh say things that are actually correct there's a little bit of Truth in what they say which is that the Muslims say that the the written T is uh nothing's changed they uh if you re if you ever listen I wouldn't I don't necessarily recommend it but if you ever did listen to any of their uh uh prayers they when they repeat the Quran they're repeating things that happen in the Tor things mhu what happened it's almost like they're repeating a midash what happened M raenu was in Egypt he killed the Egyptian ran away what they even actually mentioned certain things that are not written in but are written in the mid CU M when he left Egypt he didn't go to m like says he went to K first for 40 years he went to K for 40 years then he went to M says M away point being is that their Quran talks about that part also anyway their uh Quran talks about uh Mob and so on and so forth but the corruption that they're specifically referring to is the oral toah they're referring to the corruption being the oral toah of how to practice the written toah how to practice the law uh which is the same or similar argument that the Christians have the Christians don't are not saying that the written Torah is wrong they're saying that the oral to is wrong and the reason why they both have to say that is because if the written T is wrong neither one of their religions are real it's impossible to believe in Christianity and in the New Testament without believing that the Old Testament is 100% correct why because if the Old Testament the Torah is wrong then that means that the New Testament is wrong because it's based off of it it's supposed to be a continuation of it it is possible to believe in only the Torah and not the New Testament but it's not possible to believe in only the New Testament and not the Old Testament anyone that does that is just simply an idiot it's just it's called a postulate you have to you have to believe in one versus the other versus the other argument you can't it's called a postulate postulate meaning that everyone has to agree all Scholars agree that the Torah is the only one out of the three books that could be right and the other two are wrong but it's not possible for the Torah to be wrong and any one of them to be right that's a POS that's a given that any scholar will tell you it's has to be given why because everyone agrees that the Torah is divine from God given in front of millions of people unchanged uncensored this is what it is anyone that says there was a single word in it is different simply doesn't believe in anything believes in a new religion the other reason why the Muslims will get punished is because you're not allowed to start a new religion go not allowed to start new religions so the fact that they start a new religion is also another punishment it's also another ran that's also the reason why the GU are not allowed to keep Shabbat some gu want to keep Shabbat and because they like taking a rest once a week and they figure maybe I'll do K and keep Shabbat like the Jews why shabbat says in the 10 Commandments fourth Commandment is keep Shabbat why I keep Shabbat well says shb is it's between me and you not me and the rest of the Nations soes penalty why there three different reasons one of them is that you're creating a new religion and the second one is that you're stealing stealing what you're stealing the so you're not allowed to start a new religion non-jews are not allowed to start new religion the only thing that the non-jews are allowed to do is either become Jews or be righteous noahides those are the only two options they're not allowed to be atheist they're not allowed to be Christians they're not allowed to be anything else so what day should they arrest on what issue what day should they rest on they they can rest seven days a week if they want no it's not it's not about a rest the resting part is irrelevant it's it's not hasem didn't go to sleep doesn't go to sleep it's not resting it's not it's not creating there are aot to rest seven days a week if they want they're just not allowed to refrain from doing those 39 restrictions on Shabbat because it's Shabbat they can not drive on Shabbat but not because it's Shabbat just because they don't feel like driving they can not you know not cook on Shabbat not because of Shabbat just because they don't feel like cooking that's fine but if they don't do it because T says it to the Jews then they're creating a new religion so as far as not doing any of those 39 restrictions they cannot do it whole year doesn't make a difference but specifically on that day they're not allowed to not do it because it's Shabbat they just they're not they can do whatever they want but not specifically stop because of Shabbat like there is a group of go called The Seven Day Adventists I call them great adventures or the uh the the Power Rangers or whatever those X-Men what adventur what they called something like that anyway they think that they keep Shabbat they think they keep Shabbat uh by the way to make fun of say you know don't get offended if you're offended good then you learn something new too uh but it's a uh these people they think they keep Shabbat because they don't work it's not that you don't work any married Jewish woman will tell you that Shabbat sometimes is more difficult than the rest of the week because you have guests you work a lot harder sometimes on Shabbat it's not not working it's refraining from doing 39 different things that says these are Creations these specific things are creations you're not allowed to recreate you're not allowed to recreate that's it these are 39 things that hasem did that that did in order to build the bet mikdash so those 39 things you now have to do on Shabbat that's the uh that's the thing next yes if there's a non-jew that's in the process of conversion at what point is he allowed to start keeping jaat if he's in a process of conversion on uh as soon as his uh obviously an official process of conversion he starts keeping 99% of all the m vot day one meaning he keeps Shabbat except he violates it on purpose by uh one time so he turns on the light one time on Shabbat he's not allowed to keep Shabbat 100% until the very very last stage of the conversion uh which is soon you know is after the uh the and usually within you know a couple of weeks uh you know of of actual uh final day of conversion behind you this might this might be nothing but notice I've never seen like a really religious person with a dog before yeah I'm wondering why there's a if there's a reason for that or if it just coincidence no it's not a coincidence a uh I mean there are religious people that have dogs I know a few of them that have dogs I used to have a dog um but uh the uh according to cabala dogs are the most impure animal there is they're an impure animal they carry a lot of tum so when you uh have a dog you have Tuma you have impurity that you bring into your house uh and the reason why is because a dog is one of the animals that does not have shame it licks itself and does all types of things in uh in public regardless of what's going on it's a relatively disgusting animal other than being cute the way it looks it's a relatively disgusting animal it eats its own vomit it licks itself it procreates wherever it does a lot of things that are relatively disgusting uh I had a dog for 16 years I'm pretty familiar with it and as cute as a dog is he's still disgusting when you are trying to get close to the closer you are to a the more you see the stuff now when I had a dog I didn't see it that way I didn't see it that way in the beginning when I first started doing cha I said that my dog when my Rabbi told me yeah about dog I'm like yeah my dog is like my son I love my dog so I didn't see this in the beginning the more I learned tah it's not that I learned about dogs I just learned to the more I learned to for whatever reason or another they started becoming a separation I started seeing him more and more like a dog and less and less like my son eventually he was a dog 100% And nothing like son and uh eventually went to his world and got you know the right time point is is that they uh it's a uh we'll finish in two minutes if you want to wait um it's point is is that if if a person brings a dog to their life they're bringing Tuma into their life and it's not recommended because you're trying to be holy you know if dog is there it's uh you can't pray you can't do a lot of things one more thing yes do dogs go to hell dogs go to hell they don't have a heaven in Hell unless they have a human if they have a human then uh depends but if they don't have a human they don't go to heaven or to Hell there's no G or for for dogs yes we're turning this into the continuation we're going to go all the way till Tu day just let me know I'll open the books again no you said you said that a person's problem could be the reason why he's still in this world but doesn't a person's problems also isn't that the cause of his unhappiness no cause of his unhappiness is the distance that he has from hasem only reason a person will ever be a problem huh that is a problem that's a problem that he created though he is the reason why he's far from Hashem it's not that Hashem is far from him Hashem is there at all times he chose to be far from hasem because he's ignoring reality but if a person is close to he uh it solves all of his problems because even though his problems for you know let's say if he has money problems not going to magically have money he's still got money problems but he'll understand the root cause of all the problems he'll have answers to his questions and having answers to your questions is already solving most more than half the problem yeah no you can't I mean if you guys want to continue I just feel bad some people want to uh go home if anybody wants to uh question relating to yeah goad um can having a dog in your house actually cause you to sin it creates Tuma so uh yes or no I mean first of all you need to need to know the of treating an animal if you're already going to have a animal then you have to know the of how to deal with animals first and foremost you have to know that there is laws of meaning that you cannot uh cause them suffering so you're not allowed to neuter your animal ever uh that's number one number two if you're going to eat you have to feed the animal first you cannot eat before the animal does even if you're really really hungry you have to feed the animal first if uh you uh live in a place if you're on Shabbat you're not allowed to touch the animal it's considered M if you are living in a place where there's no you can't walk your dog you have to let it Loose outside good luck with that one uh meaning that if you're gonna have an animal you have to know the rules if you know the rules then you'll know and you'll be able to have an animal happily and you'll enjoy it but if you don't know the rules then you can be considered Shabbat or someone that's say causing animals to uh suffer and then yes it can cause you to sin can't touch your animal on Shabbat can't touch your animal you creating if you're touching your animal no it's considered m m is a rabal law m is a rabal law not a Biblical law huh are different no M isab yes but it's m it's a lesser it's a uh it's a rabinal violation not a not a Biblical violation isn't M like a fence around the fence so what's what's the inside fence what's the actual Mal that says in the Torah uh m is a uh you're not allowed to touch certain things because it'll lead you to sin so for example you're not allowed to touch the pen because it'll lead you to write so like what would dog touching the dog uh with with the dog is because you're not to carry so if you're not to touch the animal because then maybe you'll lead the animal to work so let's say for example there was a page 55 says that almost almost lost hisa because he saw his neighbor her cow was carrying some ponim some bells on Shabbat which is not allowed and he never told his uh neighbor that she should not do it she's uh violating Shabbat so hasem punished him and he realized that he made a mistake even though it was dis is a technically rebuke and it's his neighbor's cow in sh he understood KES that in sh in sh they counted him as if he's a so he fasted for 19 years until his entire mouth turned black uh because of that one time Shabbat of his neighbor's cow of her carrying some bills point being is that Shabbat if somebody actually understood how many punishments a person gets for one timeat they they'd be scared to move uh so that's why the put together the laws of M uh and uh you know which one of them is to not touch animals maybe 54b by the way instead of 55 it's definitely there those were the Rab's opinion that he almost right no no he by he discovered it by himself how did we know that because says he for a no says that he discovered he discovered himself that what's it called that uh that uh he made he made the mistake by going against the and he fasted 19 years never told him to hard on himself being too hard on himself you ever see all the punishment you get for Shabbat yeah it's notb so the says says in a couple places Shabbat in a few places also I think that violating a rabinal sin is worse than a Biblical sin a rabal sin is violating a mitvah is worse than a Biblical mitvah why biblical have different punishments if you steal you have to pay double if you steal you get caught you have to pay double that's a Biblical Mitzvah T says don't steal you steal you get caught you have to pay double you stole 100 you have to get 200 everybody right okay if a person does certain uh certain uh sins that are against the Torah there's different types of punishment for different types of but says violating a rvah is always death penalty it's always death penalty huh where did it say that says in a few places in the Tor you want want a verse from the Torah itself or you want a verse from the uh from the gar T itself Torah itself I'll give you yeah I give you a few places but the uh point is is that it's a uh the fence around the fence gave the a lot of power and one of them is that their their MIT are uh something that takes very very seriously if there was no if there's no power to the then there's no doesn't make any sense to give them the uh any power but uh as far as the uh as far as the biblical MIT they're not always as harsh as the rabal that's why the laws of M took seriously if they didn't then nobody would nobody would care for it but that's also why if you look for example there's a uh online book a PDF I think I've sent to people in the past I think it has maybe like 802 or 85 pages of uh just sources from the tah and different places of the different punishments that people get for violating Shabbat some of those sins are just a uh rabinal sins but the point is is that uh the punishments are still relevant anyone that knows what Shabbat actually means understands exactly why fasted for 19 years for uh the uh for for not rebuking his neighbor because he knew in sh they counted him as if he's the owner of the cow next are there are there any more ways to identify if somebody uh has has lost their free will their free choice well somebody has lost their Free Will first of all is not going to ask if they lost their freee will uh um so if you're talking about yourself you wouldn't have that question second of all a person that has uh that has no free will uh does not even know is not is not giving the um uh the opportunity to uh to get so close to making things that uh decisions against it I mean you could look at some of the footnotes in the rambam but uh somebody that's a uh lost their Free Will in so in so many words lost their desire to even connect with meaning they have no no concept no care in the world to connect to hem so they're not it's not like somebody that's like you know wants to do chuva but is having a hard time he wants to do chuva he wants to uh you know keep Shabbat but he has a hard time keeping Shabbat because he's addicted to computers or he's addicted to his phone or he's addicted to I don't know uh driving no that just means he has a desire uh or somebody says I don't I want to eat kosher but he's addicted to food so he eats everything that moves doesn't move that just means that person is addicted he has a big desire doesn't mean that you lost his ability to do cha somebody lost ability to do cha is somebody that does not even have the inclination no idea no desire whatsoever to change his ways and a person like that is a is a very serious problem it's very rare by the way it's not that common to to be on such a horrible level but nonetheless it does happen I've heard from Ro M Roy he said that it's possible even somebody who lost his free will they can still learn Tora they can still watch yours they can even have kids okay but it's such a almost seems like a fine line how would you know how would you know if you have a relative or a friend that might be in this category it's very hard to know for us to know no no you need to know for sure to know for sure we can have we have different guidelines uh different things that we understand but for us to know for sure like looking at somebody oh this guy has free will this guy doesn't have free will this guy is sadik this guy no for that you need to be you have to that I don't use on Sundays I on Sund okay um if animals don't have a concept of Heaven and Hell how are they going to exist in the Messianic era how are they going to exist yeah like isn't the isn't when in the Messianic era isn't that already like the next World Isn't okay how are the animals going to what going I'm not really following is cuz once the Messianic era happens that's like the next world but if the animals don't have a next World well tell so they're just going to die too and they're not going to go anywhere I'm not following I'm I'm not really I'm not really I'm not really I'm sorry animals were created for you they don't create for themselves they're not created for themselves they don't have like a personality they don't have like oh yeah I can't wait to see that deer she looks cute yeah hopefully we get married next week oh do you think you going to marry that deer he looks really cute no he's not for me he comes from a spartic background they don't have that stuff they don't have that they no there's no like personalities between deer and uh you know not stuff they exist for you they exist for you they hem created them for you to eat them to enjoy them to make them work for you and so on and so forth so long as they have a purpose in the world they'll exist the minute they don't have a purpose in the world they cease to exist but there no there's no like uh you know they um they have to have you know a uh a personality or anything like that even though they have uh certain things that they do they make it seem like they have a personality they're animals for the most part all animals are animals some animals used to be human beings but that's a form of punishment it's definitely not a reward yes from all your learning years what would you purpose Je and the purpose of the Jews and purpose of the go yes simple to uh to uh to sanctify K's name for what purpose that's the reason you created what does it mean that sanctify to publicize his name to do his will to do what he says and publicize his name to the world that's the point of why you exist if you page number 4 a says if you went through a day and you did not sanctify K's name it was better off you were not born why you were created for that you were created to sanctify name if you do not sanctify Name by learning his T by spreading his T by sharing his T by fulfilling his T there's no point you and the animal are no different that's why the page 49 says if a person does not learn Tor he should not be allowed to eat meat should not if he doesn't learn T he should not be allowed to eat meat why the cow is better than him that's it says cow's better than him what about the what about the go the go are there to also to to do the will of hem also do the will of hem when the uh same basically the same no no no world's apart no they're not they're they're they're we have all ultimate purpose of all creation is to sanctify K's name but no Jews and go are not the same uh Jews have a higher purpose because they have a higher responsibility uh guim have to have a responsibility but it's lesser responsibility there's less laws there's less responsibility part of the responsibility of the G is actually to help the Jews they're not really very good at that job but nonetheless they that's part of their responsibility uh but as far as uh as far as the Jews the Jews have have uh much higher responsibility they have a much bigger reward and also much bigger punishment so why can't you like a go can become a Jew right can why can't a Jew leave the same way want to convert him because it's it's you you cannot go down in Kusa cannot go down in Kusa there there's a rule in the Tora you cannot go down in Kusa um a Jew is not a Jew because he chose to be a Jew a Jew was born a Jew meaning that decided that he's going to be a Jew so he whether he likes it or not against his will even hasem created him and hashm decided he's going to be a Jew or she's going to be a Jew on the other hand a non-jew uh was created a non Jew but he could upgrade if you will uh for lack of a better term and increase his responsibility he cannot lower his responsibility in the world he can only increase his responsibility in the world and is increasing his responsibility in the world means that he would become a Jew he cannot like say listen hasem this is too hard for me uh I'm going to get a you know a part-time job I'm G be a part-time uh Jew not not full-time Jew so a Jewish man if he doesn't like Jewish anymore he could just if a Jewish if a je if a Jewish person yeah if a Jewish person if a Jewish person marries a non-jew uh then yes any K kids that he has will be non-jewish and is G will also be non-jewish but the child doesn't get any G huh but the child doesn't get any G oh the child will live in gandom also why uh because the child will be confused for the rest of his life okay what about his children uh it could be could be for a very long time that uh the the child the child the the parents get punished so long as the descendants are alive so long as the sin exists the parents will continue getting punished I know it's not rational doesn't make sense it's against logic but that's only because you're human because we have rational but God doesn't have rational no he has rational but his rational is divine your rational is human you only see part of the picture he sees the whole thing can't be blamed huh part of the picture no you can be blamed you have to just take his word at word for it uh point is is that when when a says you're not all to marry you're not all to marry you know he doesn't say you're not all to marry GRE because I don't like them he created them even when we wanted to celebrate uh you know when we were celebrating that uh the Egyptians were uh were drowning we were allowed to celebrate only because the Egyptians tortured us but when the uh Angels wanted to celebrate that the Egyptians were drowning hasm says you're not allowed to celebrate they're my creation you didn't suffer from them only am suffer from them they're allowed to celebrate but you're not allowed to celebrate meaning that he loves the G also so it's not that he hates the GRE uh and you're also not allowed to uh you all to hurt the there's a lot of that pertain to the in fact it's much much worse to to steal from a than it is to steal from a Jew because when you steal from a Jew it's a single sin of a uh you have to pay double when you steal from a it could cause which is the biggest sin in the Tor a lot of Rel so point being is that it's a h there's a lot of religious people unfortunately that say the opposit well I'm saying what says I don't know what religious people say I'm saying what T says religious people can say whatever they want but uh to says something uh like I said a lot of religious people I said in the beginning of sh a lot of religious people people say things that are against the Torah they uh unfortunately a lot of people say that they're religious but they're not religious point is that's what we have to constantly go to the ruler what does the rule say what does theora say that's all that matters doesn't matter what says doesn't matter what Mr religious says not religious say just says what say says it that's that's the only thing that matters if a person complies with the Tor says he has Heaven guarantee if he doesn't he has G guaranteed for depends on the sin depends on the sin some sins are temporary gay some sins are permanent gay depends which package you want you package number a b or c all same price yes if a person can't go down in Holiness if there's a Jew that's righteous but he turns to being uh violating chat wouldn't his Holiness level go down yes yes I don't mean that getting uh go down by h by uh taking action meaning get rewarded by going down meaning if he if he keeps Shabbat he keeps to but now he says you know what this Tora is too much for me I want to keep less and I want to get rewarded for that for that he's not allowed to do he's not allowed to do less and still get rewarded for it meaning that he has to uh he has whatever his responsibility is he has to do that or more he cannot do less and still get rewarded for it if he does less he'll get punished for it so so a uh a uh uh let's say a Noah hide that keeps the seven laws of Noah and all the ethical rules says listen I'm an noide I keep the rules but H you know what I like the Christians because they get together every Sunday and the football stadium 250,000 people you know the uh the head guy has five planes maybe I'll be a Christian I'll make more money says no that's an idolatry like yeah but fine it's idolatry but I'm downgrading no there's no downgrading there no dowr you can't go down you're righteous no hide you have to stay righteous no hide or you can become a Jew you can't go down you can't be a sinner against theem can't be can't go against theem you have a responsibility in the world either to accept it as is or increase it never decrease it and expect that is going to be good for it because then pretty much the uh entire world will go hey why are you could uh Tora will be canceled so Hashem has a role for every single person and uh that uh that person has to accept it or increase it that's what is a lot of people think it's just the uh the black and white outfits and the p on the side doesn't mean that means that you're doing above and beyond the law thank you means that you're doing above and beyond the law meaning whatever the is you're doing more so Shabbat is 25 hours you keep 26 uh you uh you you have a uh let's say for example you're allowed to keep uh Kos but you're allowed to eat as long as has a Kos symbol you want to keep let's say or something like that that's do you get rewarded more for doing of course of course you do more you get more do more you get more but uh most people in this generation should focus on the basics focus on the basics master the basics anytime is easy you should do it but to do it across the board I don't recommend it because most people don't even know the basics it's very very hard to even know the basics to do the B basics for most people uh at least in the beginning so at first focus on the basics and once you actually understand what the basics are and how big they are you realize that it's enough for now let me focus on this let me master this let me stop making big sins start doing big MIT instead and then I'll talk about about and think about a lot of people like it because of the clothing but they don't actually know what it means you know they like the long coats and the big hats and but they don't actually know what it means anything else yes uh what was created firsts created the toan 974 Generations before he created the world before he created anything so and continues says that looked into the T and he created the world from it meaning that he could he uh he looked at the Tor as a blueprint he saw it as aah so he created human beings that have a member in their body that requires he saw there's a kosher in Tora kosher laws so he create kosher animals or non kosher animals he so he created the the female with the time of the month he saw that there is a all these MIT in the and he created the creation based on those MIT which means that the tah came well well before the came in fact he even created the Angels before theot even the angels were created before the that's why he says to a uh to the to the angels that uh will will create men in our image what does our image mean our image means that says to the angels He used their counseling because he already created them and he wanted them to feel good as if they're in essence a partner in creation and not they really weren't Partners they're just you want to when you like somebody you want to give them something Ty responsibility he says okay we'll make him like us how like us like us in a sense that they'll know the difference between right and wrong know the difference between right and wrong so we see here that hasem created the Angels before he created mankind yes heard another opinion cre our IM that Wasing we have to so Hashem created created man in in in an animal image yes that's why he said they created uh let's create them in our image but how how is our image relevant to God God are no but hm is not can't saym is an animal though he says let in our image okay our likeness Hashem doesn't have any likeness to an animal he created the animal created the animal doesn't have any created an apple doesn't mean an apple but it says it doesn't say anything about angels the only thing and moving are animals no no but the but the Angels were created beforehand just like GED and Gom were created beforehand just like the a lot of things were created there there's a lot itself that he created angels no tell us thisal tell us this is the or t without the oral T we don't survive a day without the oral Tora we don't survive you know bit you won't even understand what saysit what doesit meanit mean in the beginning what does that mean beginning beginning 16 million 16 billion years ago 5,770 years ago why is it start with a B why why is that with a bet why isn't it a uh starting uh you know just the word bit you look at the ramban's definition of what bit means and you're going to get a uh your mind's going to blow away simply because of how much it means so we have oral T oral T tells us why why it starts with why it starts with a bet and why also meansem created everything with wisdom hasem created time and so on and so forth all of this stuff is not literally written in the tah just like it's not literally written in the toah that went to the bathroom or thatu ate lunch or that and and andam you know had an argument after the whole thing happened doesn't say that doesn't say that that's all the oral tah oral tah tells us a lot of things without the oral T we we don't know anything so the oral tah tells us it's unanimously accepted that the Angels were created before men one of the places that makes uh that's we reminded of when who came up to uh to heaven to accept the Torah one of the arguments that the Angels had is like wait a minute why do you get T we came in before you why do you humans get the tah we came before you why should you get the T leave the T with us so that AR that a debate against mosu and when said to mosu no answer them answer them do you have an answer if you're mosu what you answer the Angels they came before you huh angs the Torah for they don't it's not exactly that they don't go to the bathroom they don't get married they don't do anything not going to the bathroom doesn't mean you don't have free will just means you don't go to the bathroom also didn't go to the bathroom they have no use for the also didn't go to the bathroom for 40 years no they didn't why not because they need to right right had to come out some no doesn't that's all one of the beautiful things about man is that man what it says in the Torah huh no bi oh biology we have to read T says that that says that you didn't change your clothing for 40 years your feet never got tired and so on and so forth one of the things that we learn is that am did not go to the bathroom for 40 years because the man was completely absorbed by their blood now when you eat food you eat food part of it turns into Blood part of it turns into waste right so the part that turn to the blood so that's why it says that your uh your whatever you eat is you you are what you eat right it is technically turn into your blood now the man was from heaven and made the whole thing turned to blood so nothing had to be digested nothing had to go to the bathroom about water huh about drinking water uh the from what I know as far as the as far as the man is all they needed but in regards to the water they drank I'm assuming I'm from the river I'm assuming that uh there was something magical about it also but I'm not sure I just know that the man was digested completely as far as the uh but going to the bathroom or not going to the bathroom does not change Free Will doesn't change free will it just means that you have a certain thing that happen in your body why did they complain if the was that good the man was good they complained because they uh spoiled spoiled no that's what it says means that they're uh they're complainers for no reason that's why she punish them I heard something that they they missed like like when you bite into like a pickle you hear like the Crunch and miss that sort of thing because the man didn't have that uh well I mean they said it they did several things with the man one of them was frying it if you fry something usually it turn into crunchy but uh never heard that com yeah it I don't remember everything off top my head but that I remember remember everything okay thank you very much for the questions V will have on Tuesday night amen amen than [Music] n [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music] for [Music]
