Rabbi Yom Tov Practical Spirituality: I'm Not Orthodox

I was because he was pulling rabbis to find out what they said Judaism was and every single rabbi said something different and so I said something different as well which is kind of interesting like that sounds quite pluralistic considering I think every rabbi he asked was of the Torah observant types meaning they were all what the with what secular or conservative a reformed Jews call Orthodox we don't use that term by the way never call yourself over that actually that was a term that we were labeled with by guilty feeling Jews who like kind of dropped everything and so what happened they felt bad about their own observance or a lack of observance and so what's this simple way out of the guilt call those who actually still keep Torah Orthodox which is the word strict the word Orthodox means strict so call them strict yeah do I sound like a strict person to some people laughing because they know me a bit I'm like the least strict person you'll ever meet I mean the strict is not really our our theme around here hey you know we got some seats right here how many are you three five no problem gentlemen would you be so kind as to bring in a couple more chairs later ladies we interrupt this class for five ladies walking in the classroom right now can I get one of you dudes to sit us you sit in this seat and then slide over one so the ladies can sit together maybe slightly oh yeah you got an extra chair Oh amazing they're just opening up everywhere should I start the video again this videos after a lousy start and you know what I'll just keep ranting about the word Orthodox for a while anyway so guys we're gonna we're gonna knock the word Orthodox out of our vocabulary from now on okay no more Orthodox Orthodox was a label given to Jews who actually keep the Torah yeah it shouldn't be a term you know like if you met someone who kept traffic laws in it on the cart you know driving yeah I wouldn't call him an Orthodox driver you know you know somebody like keeps the bylaws of a company works for we don't call them Orthodox he's an Orthodox member of Apple can we close the door please so so you understand like the word Orthodox is like just the most ridiculous term and and it's also the whole the whole fact that the word of Orthodox means strict is that I dunno strict Jews you know there are I know people like that but they're generally it's a personality type it's not there's nothing to it their Judaism meaning they there are ready OCD and just kidding there are already strict types of people who are keeping the same exact laws as I am but the difference between us is they're like kind of strict personalities and I'm like a really chill prison howdy but like neither of us would do something against the Torah if you put a gun to our head we're gonna both be strict if you try to get us to stop keeping Torah but it's a personality thing so the word Orthodox just means it's just another term for lame-o okay and nerd you know he's Orthodox in our family we actually have a term if like someone buys a lame pair of shoes like one of my daughters comes home and choose that just look lame so we say those shoes are eartha ortho it's actually become an adjective and our entire extended family that anything that super lame is called a ortho you never heard that because I was starting to question it after a while it was like it was so well used that I thought maybe it came from someone else anyway so we have no pride at all in being Orthodox Jews and we we never use that term so so just wipe it out if you'd like another tournament try to work observant you know observant would be probably the most appropriate that they actually observe the tourist traditions they observe the tribal heritage of Israel and again it was a label that was given to the Jews who actually held on to Judaism oh we got a seat right here you know I I'm standing in front of two seats I didn't even see them oh there's that some spots over here I had peel up one of those I'm gonna make a profit I think this is my most interrupted classroom I've ever had but I love it because it's a drop-in course and the people who've come in late have fulfilled the drop-in aspect more than anyone else in fact her parachutes in a tree outside both Dana and just one other term that you're gonna be a little shocked like okay I bet all of you agree with me that Orthodox Church should just be completely wiped out of our lexicon but there's a unless you're talking about Greeks but the but there is another term that I strongly suggest you get rid of as well and this is not gonna be very politically correct so I apologize in advance and no one should please no one should think I'm here to offend anybody and if I offended you too bad just kidding no if I offended you I apologize but the other words religious Judaism is like it's it's not religious it's not meant to be religious it's not and it also there's something called religion which automatically legitimizes all of them because the second you say that that the second you say that Judaism is a religion or maybe you're talking about the other religions like there's Judaism as a religion and there's other religions second you use that word religion you're already putting Judaism on it you're putting all other religion okay I just I said you put not a religion you put religions on the same bedrock the same footing as Judaism Judaism which is a provable national halation Judaism which you can not its incontrovertible that the Torah is actually a divine document no one else can claim any of that stuff you know what the demonstrating a religion and a cult is not much okay the difference between a religion the difference between a religion and a cult is the number of people it's just the number of people that's it that's the difference in a religion and a cult just how many people are keeping hear the word religion is used as a legitimizing term to make people who are stuck in an oversized cult feel better about themselves okay everyone is a religion and a cult that's the same exact thing is just people believing in crazy stuff but if you got enough of them it seems to legitimise itself just by sheer numbers but but we're Jews here okay then and we don't numbers makes us nervous not not makes us more confident you know G we're like the ultimate skeptics you know Jews are so skeptical about everything and numbers is one of those things so if you got enough Jenny ones believing in something that's the second medic that's a red flag for a Jew a lot of people believe in some things automatically red flag like this cuz untight like we smell a skunk ones and when we when people are like well everyone believes in this you know oh great you know we get a guy a guy sitting in this class once in a while we'll get a guy in here and this is like not a good move by the way cuz it puts our red flag up right away he says he's like sitting on the edge of his chair yeah everyone please no one move right now everyone stay exactly how they're sitting no don't move okay I'd like you to focus on the guy with the red shoes over here just wave your hand but don't move see how he's sitting kind of like half an allowance sure like he's in Club Med or something okay that's that's the Jewish position while learning Torah it's like don't even bother me you know like it's just like one gigantic grain of sand grain of sand salt one gigantic grain of salt with everything the rabbi is about to say you're also Led Zepplin over here in the shirt with his arms crossed no keep your arms crossed she's like this he's like yeah we'll see this guy right next to him he's like that's a real open position you're in over there okay you guys are like all you're saying right now with your arms crossed well I'm teaching is I'm Jewish that's it you just saying I'm Jewish okay this woman's in yoga position she's like okay rabbit I'll listen to you but don't don't tell me I can't say ohm on the hour Jewish okay but once a lot we get this guy coming in here he's got his you know big keep on you know he's even got the cosmic dental floss you know he's swinging at any he sits down in here and he's just like he's like rabbi teach me the Torah you know we're just immediately and so large numbers of people large numbers of people believing in something to us is a red flag that means something's wrong here and it's very interesting that our nation which in the Torah says we will always remain a few a number that we've always remained few a number and we we get nervous around numbers we see numbers of people into something we immediately say something's wrong because we're we are we are born skeptical we mismatch things we here we went we don't match them we mismatch them and that's the way you clarify things and find out if something's real or not because we're not interested in something that's not real imagine we're on a hike together I mean it's kind of a large group right but imagine we're hiking and we hear some noise inside a cave so we like we get down like low and we look inside the hole the cave and we see down below we see nine people all bowing down to this one person in a white robe you know and he's just like you know and now when we believe we found a cult or a religion which one yeah that's a cult right now what happens is they move to our town and we start recognizing but from the cave in town and next thing you know they're like inviting everyone for free pizza and beer which is what most rabbis do on campus but there they're offering free pizza beer and they're gaining numbers next you know the bank teller you go to bank teller and you see the bank teller is wearing you know some little symbol they wear and anyway it just keeps growing and growing and growing and growing well once they get to enough numbers it becomes what's called social social economic pressure there's a social economic pressure because you have social means like politically and stuff and economic means like to sell products and so you've got to give them a new name cuz Colts just not gonna go over so well so what we do is once they hit a critical mass of numbers it gets this term called a religion but if you're Jewish that doesn't mean anything all because Judaism we get nervous around numbers and we we like to shrink the numbers down to ten and instead see what they're saying so if they're saying something legit so maybe there's something to it but if they're if they're making stuff up so then we're not that interested and one of the main things that that's gonna be a red flag is blind faith blind faith is a big red flag Jews aren't into that kind of thing we're just not into that thing like it's funny oh we have a term for like our term for faith is the word em we're not and it doesn't mean faith it means faithful it means faithful we're not we're not into faith we're into being faithful you get that like when something's real and true to you like a spouse you're faithful to that person when something's real and true to you like God you're faithful means you don't cheat so that that's the word faith for for Judaism it's funny we actually say the word after Shema at night we say venom would not cause ice and this is all like this is like a faithful reality to all of us it uses the word Emunah is there a seat for you back there Oh oh my god I was just sorry you just said the buzzword I'm fine I was just with this old amazing elderly Jewish lady we were touring around the building with her and her terms she kept saying I'm fine it's just amazing cuz she she had some knee problems she said I'm fine about fifty times wouldn't you love it if we all said that all the time and we think about the crazy stuff we say about ourselves inside how about I'm fine I'm okay I'm fine but it could also be like a Jewish trait of like old ladies you know like how many how many Jewish old ladies does it take to change a light bulb I'll just stay in the dark oh sitter in the dark so anyway the back to us is just one more thing I just since I'm on this I just want to mention that a big red flag for us is the afterlife anyone talking afterlife is like that's a red flag hey why because it's manipulation the number one fear of humanity is dead it's number one fear and so if you start stacking the odds of like believing this and it'll be good for you don't believe it as you're going to hell you understand that that's just manipulation as a manipulation and and anyway what good is any of your service if that's why you joined what good is in your service you were to tell you were you just had you were putting a police headlock you know of course you're gonna cooperate you know so what good was anything you did doesn't it is there gonna be any reward for your good deeds if the reason you're in is because you're you were putting a police headlock with afterlife threats you come to our classes like a Jewish class any institution teaches Judaism you could be there for years before you hear anything about the afterlife it's not that we don't believe in an afterlife for sure the souls gonna outlive your body your soul is nothing do with your body just like your consciousness is not it's not linked to your body your consciousness will definitely outlast your body you know people die on hospital beds and they bring him back with the PJ sees the people jumper cables they they they have whole stories to tell they're talking about a kid with a broken rib in the pre you know postnatal care you know they the unconsolable baby had a broken rib and the guy who died in the emergency room after they bring him back he says oh by the way there's a baby with a broken rib a couple doors down he went and he heard the cries and went and checked it out so there your consciousness is eternal if anything the only thing blocking it is is your body cuz your neurons your neurons a little busy most of the time just going like you know which they're doing right now as well and your neurons just never shut up unless you ask them to and then they're very polite about it I'll show you really you want right gonna get your neurons to shut up they'll do it and I'm serious like it's amazing now the one thing you have to do is there'll be polite about it you can't be polite what you have to do is tell your neurons to shut up so we're gonna say shut up neurons on three and then we're all gonna snap both fingers ready and one get your hands-free okay so what's gonna happen is I'm gonna say one two three and then we're all gonna say together shut up neurons but totally shut up neurons and then all those little neurons which by the way your neurons are atheist yeah your neurons atheist that's why we put our tefillin it has to be above the hairline because that's the soft spot on the skull where the where they apik there's a bit of an aperture there that goes straight to the neurons and it impresses upon your neurons that there's God you know sure my Israel which is written inside those boxes so so your neurons are atheist cuz all they do is track sound sight tastes hearing smell I think that's what their job is their job is not God their job is is just to report to your consciousness they're reporters they're just reporters but if you what happens is if you stop realizing that your neurons are reporting to you they actually hijack you and make you think then let me think about it who who have you who are you I mean who have you been if not who your neurons have been telling you are all these years you ever thought about that question who are you who have you been as a personality as a self-image who have you been if not who your neurons have been telling you you are which is a very strange thing because if you look at a picture of a neuron yes that's just in microscopic little doodad you know it's it's certainly not something you'd allow would you guys let me tell you who you are would you do that no so certainly not a microscopic doodad telling you who you are but think who have you been if not mere neurons have been telling you you are and they're certainly in no position to be telling you who you are it's just that they noticed that you're not paying any attention to them so they wind up you know they say hey she's not listening so let's hijacker and then next thing you know you're hijacked by yourself image which makes you perfect fodder for marketing because now that your self-image is you know being told to you by your neurons well what do you think very nerve in you the most amazing holy you know solid smart beautiful powerful is that what your neurons say about you probably not probably not it's probably more something like maybe all in favor of say it's it okay so your neurons are I saying something more like that you are unlovable ugly annoying stupid unnecessary not needed extra we never used that term in my class or thing what else the neurons saying Oh misfit loser what else in their own saying as misguided ragamuffin slump er not good enough not good enough not as good as and then you fill in the blank with someone else probably a sibling who's older or one of your parents or something can we mention ugly what else the neurons sake ah weak if do all the weak small vulnerable in danger there's one where I was thinking of weeks worthless worthless is a good one hopeless helpless powerless unsafe unsafe that's always a good one unsafe um did I mention unlovable unlikable yeah anyway unworthy yeah which one I'll tell you in a sec remind me of that you did to who love the word yeah it's fine um and the anyway but that's what the neurons have been saying gosh good thank you that's what the neurons have been saying so you guys ready to tell neurons shut up okay here we go so what we're gonna do I would just say one two don't say it yet um let me show you how it goes cuz we got to do it all together okay it's gonna shock them okay so we're gonna say one two three and the more I'm gonna say shut up neurons and then we're gonna snack so let me show you once and then we'll do it together okay so watch it's gonna be like this just listen one two don't don't say one two three shut up neurons like that okay okay ready and we get good snappers ready if you don't know how to snap just clap okay do like that not that but I go okay and a nice lady do you mind turning off the air conditioning power we need it for this exercise it's got a little carbon ready one two three shut up [Music] because the one thing your neurons can't do is they don't know how to deal with you looking at them they only can do their thing when you're not looking try it again it'll be the first silence maybe any of you have ever heard ready 1 2 3 shut up seriously that's how fast they're they don't stay quiet really good for driving they also help with English meaning meaning if there was someone in here from like Zimbabwe who didn't speak English I think English is the language of some mommy but let's just say they're from the jungle of Zimbabwe and they don't speak English and their neurons will be dancing the same dance to the sounds cuz it's just math it's just all vibrational it's just that they wouldn't be able to match the sounds with with the language of Zimbabwe so they would just hear the sounds they'd hear your brain pattern if we could put them neurons on a screen it would do the same thing yours is doing except yours locks it in with every bit of English you've ever heard so your neurons are actually what rip you off of the present also because they're constantly matching to the Past yeah you be you the more you get into what I'm teaching you today the more you'll you'll get present to your life and how awesome it is and how awesome you are cuz I mean I would not if I were you and my advice is not to give to your neurons any self-talk self-talk should be coming from the soul not from the neurons neurons are not sold there's nothing to do with your soul their job is only to report to you that could going down a flight of stairs that's it that's good news you want that reported to but that's their job nothing else your job of your neurons is to remind you sometimes that you haven't called your parents lately and call them but their job is not to be telling you who you are and they're certainly not to be matching everything with the past I mean they are for the stairs but not everything else and it amazing we're talking about this right now because Russia's Jana the word Roche is head and Seana really means change or year but it's like God's flipping the head around he's like changing our heads changing the headspace it's a new world new year it's a brand new world like why would you ever what would you allow to dictate your year other than what is just present right now it's a new world it's a new year and missing your neurons are pretty darn quiet from the looks of your faces so like what's up now that's the way the funny thing is is like it's so easy to jump into eating kosher or keeping Shabbat or anything cuz like why wouldn't I like you you know unless I'm like stuck in some loop by the way that's obviously with the Torah verified I'm not saying so much to do that on faith it's can imagine you want some more ACA turned back on you turned it you saw it was good though for the shutup neuron sorry that's alright Norns can shut up with little noise of a motor that needs maintenance badly no back to us so religions Judaism is not a religion is that clear now there are a lot of religious Jews a lot of religious just like for example I know a lot of Hasidic Jews who were very religious meaning what do i what am i defining as religious they don't know that any of it's necessarily true they were just raised this way understand they were just raised that way is that religion or is that Judaism it's religion they keeping the traditions yeah and I'm glad I mean that we should be faithful to our traditions I personally think that some guy born in the Amazon jungle or some African jungle or some Sri Lankan jungle should stay true to his ancestry like stick with it and I believe Jews also should should be true to their ancestry so even a Jew whose religious with the exception of my knowledge knows is it are you or Clint bring up idolatry I mean I gotta answer their question first the reason we don't mention you Tahara I'm just to teach all you all of you a good tool for growth you guys into growth I don't know guys like growth stuff so just a good tool for growth is never use the word Yates ihara why you know the term user ever knows oh it means that sorry yet so har means the evil inclination like there's the there's like the good inclination and the evil inclination you know those two like the one that has you take seconds of something you shouldn't beaten in the first place that's the evil encourage because it's gonna make you now tired and sloppy and where's that it's a toad will say you know I just hold off that's the answer toad the ate Sahara sees a beggar you know walking through the Jewish quarter and says says oh man how can I avoid this and Yates a taupe says it's a ptosis you know like this guy's on the streets like maybe you could despair a shekel it's a Horace's as you dig in your pocket there's a hash and then the age of ptosis you're a cheapskate what is that 10 cents you wouldn't give a bum a 10 cents in America you know I can at least give them a 50 cents a dollar and then you feel this other one and it's like oh that's got the shapes on the side that's a fine that's not going out so like these are the these are the two Yates errs yeah it's a toe when the it's a hob those are the two needles but we don't say the word gets a higher that much because one of its tricks is for you to just use this like all-encompassing it's our home it's like this blanket statement it Oh a must have in the inside it likes it when you say that you know why cuz cuz then it's just like okay as long as there because the inside heart doesn't do general it's only those specifics and so if you're gonna stay general with the turn with yet Sahara it's gonna be really happy with you cuz it's just gonna nail you somewhere else so what's important with the xrr is you specify what it's a heart we're talking about st. Claire you want to be really specifically the eighth so hard don't use the in fact don't even let it leave your lips much rather the second you're gonna say yeah it's a heart stop yourself for a second and say which gates are is this The Cheapskate of me is this my neurons telling me I'm ugly is this my you know my social anxiety it's our you know in which it Sahara is this is this my y8 Sahara two beasts to steal as am I in Sahara t eat but you might say it's my a Sahara TV whatever I want like for example non-kosher food like I want to eat whatever I want but then that's a different year to hunt you know it's our that is it's a yet to Hara of that you're out of control meaning that you're you're a controlled being which probably comes from childhood because someone controlled you and so now you you refuse to keep kosher because no one's dictating what you put your mouth but if you go deeper instead of just saying it's a Yeats AHA right but go deeper and say no actually I was controlled that either there was God forbid a terrible situation you know like a molestation or something or it was a family dynamic where the parents didn't allow you to like make any choices or who knows why an education system that was very controlling but just a call like give that like platitude of yang Sahara it's gonna give the edge to her a major victory with you you have to understand you got to get in there and I said what is it what's going on inside there what's what's really happening here and then you can then you got it GPS then once you've GPS it now I can say hmm is me eating less or eating kosher a meat surrendering to convene control no that's ridiculous it's me being healthy and me being spiritually aligned that's called spiritual alignment and healthy body so like what kind of games and was I playing you know with myself clear that was an answer and then Nellie Marietta question we can verify our our tradition it's verifiable it's not easily verified it's verifiable um it's beyond a shadow of a doubt but there's got to leave I mean there's got to be some aspect of doubt I guess in life at some point I mean it's really hard if you're a nation to a rabbi to have much doubt because we spent so much time with you guys and we get to like we like get to hit why we do what we do at every single angle like all year round so we don't get a lot of room for doubt when I'm sure there's plenty of people who I would call fully observant not really just fully observant who still have some doubt that's okay I personally think having doubts really hard especially when you're staring at the Temple Mount and we have coins with King David's name on it and we know he lived only a couple hundred years after Sinai so like and he certainly didn't make up Judaism so where to come from you know if not where it says it came from he was keeping Torah and not only he was giving or the entire nation was getting dark all the tribes were in their locations we have all this archaeologically meaning you meet these guys who have a Yeats are hired to say okay navigate so hard to say that uh you know maybe people made it up and it's been a couple thousand years you know three thousand how many three thousand three hundred thirty years now but it's not like that because all you have to do is stare out this window you know exhibit eight know well sorry I had a guy at the Kotel say to me he says to me we're down at the Kotel like literally staring at like Solomon's Temple you know we're staring at this thing and he says to me I don't know what he was thinking but he was like how do we know this is even true and and so I slept normally they don't slap people I think this voicing doubt is like it's so Jewish as have already spoken like doubt is like it's like really in their way it's the key to Judaism is you want to voice doubt voice it though don't just hide it you know with your with your cheeseburger you know you got doubt voice it and I just slapped them cuz just seemed like the right thing you do at the time we're staring at this like gigantic thing that's like you know had we had that conversation in LA I'd say like you know you I would say um I wish we were having this conversation staring at David's you know David and Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem like you you just wouldn't be asking me that but but an another thing is like we got proofs that get into like the Nitty Gritty of how we know this is real like really needing any gritty and I'll tell you one of the funniest ones is here I have a tour right here umm right we got a Torah so so you would think like it would be easy to figure out who like whether I mean let's just say you had any book and we got another random up give me that book for say a minute so here's a book called Jewish meditation I'm covering the author's name okay it's called Jewish meditation and now let's say no one hurt I mean I know who wrote the book cuz I know her jewish meditation but let's just say none of us knew who wrote this book let's say no one in the country knew about this book do you think we could figure out who wrote the book without Google without Amazon without anything you Inc we can figure it out exactly who wrote this book would that be a complicated thing for the Mossad not at all would it be complicated all for people whose specialty is is identifying documents identifying the authorship of documents you think that'd be difficult it'd be beyond easy beyond easy now listen to this crazy it is a crazy thought i think mary before you could just gotta hear this crazy thought here's a tour okay this is the torah we're trying to figure out if man wrote it or god wrote it is that the most ridiculous question in the world with a man rotor got like thank you we could figure out that book not only that book no title on the book we could just take a page rip a page of a book and take it to any identify and any professional identifier of authorship he would probably be able to figure out my chicken longer but he could probably figure it out eventually get it or within a hundred people on the planet you know fifty people on the planet but here we got this book and we're trying to figure out if it's from God or me your thought are ridiculous that is yeah so you didn't figure I might the only one who realizes this does anyone know where I'm going with this no one got that no I'm not even I don't even got the proof did you get the proof we're not even first of all I first of all I was not giving a program asking a question does anyone realize how ridiculous that question is whether man or God run that I don't mean like that this is so funny but I'm in this situation but I'm gonna take myself out don't worry I just I think I I think there's something that authorships not complicated to figure out if it was a human being it should be pretty easy if it were God it should be pretty easy now that we know what God does when he authors books but meaning we wouldn't have a lot of samples of that but we would have definite samples of human writing so it shouldn't be difficult to figure out if it is human or God you get that you get the ridiculousness of the question cuz they just should be so simple like it can't be complicated whether it's God or God or human that's the point of making you got that point is that point clear yeah I'm not saying it is clear I'm just saying it should it shouldn't be a question that's complicated that's all you everyone got that I'm not saying it's clear whether it's God or man I'm saying it should be the most ridiculous question in the world of trying to figure out whether the authorships the divine or the oxygen to you and me that should not be a complicated quest as to be like for an authorship for an authorship professional that would be the silliest question in the world and what do you think he would say God or man what would it depend on what would it depend on you realize there would just be some factors whether he would say it's got her man what would be some of the factors I'm gonna leave this up to you guys you know what did we some of the factors ok what's inside the book some of its content yeah yeah what if the guy's an atheist who is it automatically automatically man he's agnostic so you start to realize like discovering the authorship of this book it's not so scientific it's gonna depend on things how about this the book when you like to steal all its Commandments how many Commandments 613 and when you just steal them into their laws because not one commandment tells the law you realize that like when I put on tefillin the law isn't put on tefillin that's the commandment the laws are I think it's like seven or eight hundred laws you understand it's not a law to keep Shabbos that's one of the commandments some spiritual fight called jobs the laws are it's a couple thousand I think it's like four and a half five thousand laws how to actually keep the laws of Shabbos so we actually counted all the laws of the book a should limitation toward account the laws they were we actually counted all the laws you know any laws there are in this book I mean the book itself doesn't give any its broad-stroke Commandments like for example it's it's it's I'm wearing census nowhere in the Torah doesn't explain this it just says fringes well fringes doesn't tell me eight strings five knots four-cornered garments then well actually it doesn't mention for later no but what if you're not wearing a for burning are you wearing a for current government oh you got sixes you were here for turning out he's not so you have no Mitzvah rate and if you're wearing for kering but I always feel bad for Jews and Pancho's because I actually I'm the I'm the spiritual leader of a rock band in America and they go in Poncho's in the winter and the they all have sits on their ponchos which is really really sweet they just go like chilled and Poncho's everywhere like they show up to gigs and Poncho's yeah they'll have sits as so many lunches so there's 55,000 laws in here who wrote a got her man who wrote a gunner man 55,000 laws the answer is if I want to keep 55,000 laws which means I'm crazy so then God wrote it and if I'm not interested in keeping 55,000 laws so I'm gonna be leaning way more towards the man wrote it in other words it's really hard to be scientific about this so hard that people can't even figure out an authorship between God and man that's crazy do we get it now do we get one talking about this did I am I so raise your hand if you know where I went with all that oh I'm never doing that again yeah I all I did was doing was bringing up the insane amount of subjectivity involved that's all I just bringing up that it's like extremely subjective this this this got a ran thing but the what happens is though we have a program called discovery aren't you know in our next discovery is we have a program what for whoa that's a while so so on the 14th of October we have a program called discovery so I teach the final class on discovery which is all about like the proof it's about proving you know Torres it towards the divine origin but what happens when you get to the end of that class you're just like your jaws on the ground you're just like oh my gosh not only is Tora divine like it automatically means there's a guy cuz I didn't even know there was a god so many people actually get Torah and then realize wait a second that couldn't have been written by a human being so must be there's a god and so they get gunned hor all them one-shot now their jaws are on the ground now and then I asked them the question like do you guys realize how ridiculous it is that we hadn't even spend an entire day on this as if this document could be actually authenticated as a human being stalked they're human beings writing this is the most ridiculous name they're all they're gonna be like you're right that is totally crazy what are we doing here and the answer is you say we said the answer is it's alright no one wants to keep 55,000 laws and by the way after all the proofs just you guys tell me what do you think of the percentage of people walk out of Discovery keeping Torah people who didn't keep it before what do you think the percentage what would you say we had a hundred people in Discovery what percentage leave they're keeping Torah let's say over the next five years seventy five percent ten whoa big numbers what do you say after 2% like five years later we both teach there what's your estimation under 10 above 10% yeah after five years the people who graduate 5% so I would have done it between 3 and 5 percent and these are people who if they when they walk out of the room you could literally say to them who wrote the Terra and they would say well it wasn't a human being that much I'll tell you and it's likely written by God and then you'd say to them is that a belief or knowledge and they would tell you it's a hundred percent knowledge when I'm sent knowledge and but I would not ask him the third question and that's what are you gonna do about it cuz the answer is nothing and so since we're teaching this on the air of Yom Kippur let's do something bad just gonna do bat it see y'all later um ladies and gentlemen the next class is rabbi Aaron Nick Amer every Aaron Nick immerse one of the most unorthodox Orthodox Jews he's one of the most unorthodox Orthodox Jews you ever meet but we don't use the term Orthodox anyway Travie Nick Omar's the totally out of the box rabbi and he does a class called seven questions where you get to ask the most taboo questions like anything I mean like transgender questions you know like like it it could be anything there's anything you want to ask you get to ask and not only that but anyone who stays in his class will usually come back again so because it's just compelling and he's considered one of the unique teachers in Israel so I bless you all to join that class but in the meantime I'm also blessing with a good Shabbos is just one last thing is if we could pass around a cup and there's a rabbi that comes who feeds a family every Shabbat and the Thursday class feeds the family so if it's changed it'll buy like drinks and if it folds it'll buy like fish or meat so I know the family personally they're amazing family it's quite large and they've had some they've hit some bad times so if you guys like to help feed a family you mind grabbing a cup and we'll just send around a cup please okay
