okay say hi say hi so we have some guests from China in this particularly any type of question and that question was why why is well there are still big difference that so why is religion so important in Israel and and I asked this nice lady here I asked her what was important in China and she said that it's that what's important in China is yeah a physically better life it could be that that things in Israel I mean I I don't know how to answer this exactly like the way I was going but but the main point is that is that existence like existing as a human being with all of your needs is to us it's meaningless it doesn't mean anything I mean on a Darwinian level it does meaning like the animal kingdom like existence survival is very important for the plant kingdom survival is very important and for the human Kingdom survival is important but but it's um but once you're surviving so then it leads to more questions of well what do we survive in for on why what am i what am I doing here and what where'd i come from and you know very important questions come up that that are answered by Judaism very important questions come up that that Judaism answers and not only Judaism but I think all the religions of the world are in some level or another there they're out to answer life's questions and and to make sense of our world to make sense of and meaning out of life but it's true that people don't seem to care much about this when they're not surviving so well-meaning in populations that aren't doing so hot you're not gonna find religion as high priority they may have religion but it won't be as high priority is putting food on the table and but once foods on the table so then the questions of meaning of life is you know paramount that's that's really important because I want to know why why am I doing this what's the point where do we come from is there a point to creation is there is there meaning beyond survival and the answer is that there is and on a very basic level there's a there's the desire to be good to be a good person but how do you how can you be a good person what was called a good person in the times of the Greeks today to be put in jail for much of that stuff would it be whether it be pedophilia or whether it be infanticide the you know you'd be put in jail for what was called a good person in those days so so you start to realize what what it is to be good is relative and religions tend to define good they tend to say this is what's good and this is what's not good but they they generally can't handle details you know they they just be a good person you know but they keep it real vague on what it is to be a good person and I understand that because how you supposed to really know and and then there's there's Westerners generally not Christians generally separate church and state in there in the countries where Christianity exists so being a good person has nothing to with Christianity meaning they may talk about it with platitudes but it's not enforced by the state whatever Christian would say as good is not gonna be enforceable so therefore it's it doesn't mean anything really because it has no weight there's no there's no teeth in what's they call good because it's separate from the state and then the state how does the state decide what's good and that that's also becomes quite relative depending on the state you're in as I mentioned already the Greek state had things that our state's today wouldn't consider illegal and be punishable maybe even by death or certainly life imprisonment and so and so it all is quite relative you know it's really it's difficult to know what it is to be good but beyond survival is being good now what's interesting is every human being was born with a conscience each one of you has inside of you a a desire to be good we all really want to be good and there's a there is a natural morality that happens in the world just by the mere push back meaning let's say you don't believe there's anything called good but but you know it's kind of kept nebulous you know you have inside you there's good and bad but but you don't know I don't have any like absolute level you it's purely relative so maybe you'd think stealing is okay okay but when you come back home with a broken nose and two black eyes and three broken ribs so you suddenly morality kicks in on a natural level because there's push back for for for one who breaks their natural values when you when you there's something called natural law like meaning natural morality I'm sorry there's natural morality and and that is that the pushback of just your relativist morality bumping into other people's relativist formality and and you may not think stealing's bad but the guy you stole from certainly punished you and now you're now you're hurtin for certain and and maybe that develops wrong and right is you know what what pushes people over the edge to get violent maybe that's morality and then for most of history has kind of been the morality and that's that's basically been it but we have not yet discussed Judaism at all yeah you got a question back there don't press anything yeah you were saying touch with that I just got distracted no it's been saying before that was the it really becomes quite random so that so yeah double click I didn't up click hard enough well I learned a new trick I'm so happy for Israel's Jews there are a hundred Chinese for every Jew in the world of Jews did not take the religion seriously the Jews would become extinct because we don't have the critical mass that's what happened so Jews need to develop our religion and study our religion and stay more religious just to remain viable hmm I would never but I but I it's for sure for sure that an interesting answer is how important it is to us is that you know it's it's interesting Israel altogether is kind of interesting because what really does bind us we have a land that's not our own because it's tours very clear it's God's land okay this is God's land you look at the very first commentary in the Torah it makes it real clear this is not our land and it is God's land and God is in charge of the land and he gave it to the seven Canaanite nations took it from them gave it to us took it from us to became a desert wasteland some nomadic Arabs lived here for a long time and that's of course today become the Palestinian claim is the nomadic Arabs somehow translated into the Palestinians which which by the way i I i buy their narrative personally I I actually have nothing against their narrative at all but but certainly they would they were hardly a nation they were just you know I've I'm a mountain bikers I I get to meet Arabs hanging around the mountains you know in villages and stuff and they're they're not they're not a nation they're just people hanging around areas of the mountains and which is what to put that's what was here if you check out the populations and where the populations were you'd see there was no such thing as a Palestinian people until they decided they were of the Palestinian people which was well after the State of Israel was formed and the they but the those those people you know people who lost their homes or whatever from they lost their neighborhoods you know there's whole neighborhoods that were taken by the Israelis so that's a that's a very legitimate claim but it's the same claim that the Native American Indians have and the same claim that that the South Americans have and you know Rio de Janeiro had a tribe living there and and you know it's the claim of every country because almost every country in the world has been taken over by people stronger than them and that's just the name that's just the name of the game of every country's population it's just that in this case it happens to be the Jews and and when is the Jews you get ready for the double standard and and it's good that we have a double standard that that the world doesn't want to accept the conquering of the Land of Israel in 1948 and 67 it's good that the world doesn't want to accept that because because back to my original point is we're not supposed to be nationalists because it really is not our land this is not ours it's God's land and and this is why you'll notice we're the only country in the world were the only nation in the world that's not from their land you know you meet a guy from Spain he's a Spanish guys from Spain of Englishmen is from England a African is from Africa the South African is from South Africa but a Jew is from Egypt we're from Egypt we were born and we were born in another land it's called going mikeraboy a nation from within a nation and that's very destabilizing not to mention we were born in slavery ultimate transgenerational slavery means you're you think you're free when you're enslaved because if you enslave a free man that's slavery but when you enslave people were become a nation that's a slave nation so they don't know they're free and a good example of that is how long it's taken the Africans of the Africans of America who were enslaved by the Americans emancipated by Abe Lincoln I don't know how long ago and their rights fought for by Martin Luther King whom I'm named after I was born three days after he was assassinated and my English name is John Martin named after Martin Luther King and yeah yes I this rabbi is named after a black minister this is my universal appeal you know I'm just born to reach everybody that's that's enough of a hook right there right so anyway the but yet there's still there's still fighting to break the the stigma in the eyes of others and there and to break their own chains you know years years years years years decades later still fighting it fighting that fight Jewish people we came out of a Holocaust the Jews came out of the Holocaust stick figures you know like look deep like Ethiopians with the swollen you know the distended belly and the swollen skulls and the toothpick arms and flies everywhere and like there they were left for dead until the the nation that allies came and liberated the camps but check out those same people five years later I mean once they could get some weight on their bodies and hold down some food they were like you're like running the financial district of Manhattan they were they were already major lobbyists in the US government they had they had built a country in Israel out of from scratch like just boom they like I they become that one of the third most powerful cutting the fourth most powerful country in the world behind the US Russia China is Israel ultimately to this day and the second biggest startup country a high tech startup country in the world only the us and we really if you play with the numbers we'd be way bigger than the US if you start looking at the actual swath of land we're talking about and and you know and the tiny population we have here you know we're way beyond them in Tekin and then so there's the it's just incredible and all of this happened immediately after the war meaning we were in slave labor torture chambers extreme torture and walk out of there and rise straight out and that's our whole nation is we're born in slavery and rose to greatness because we were taught at Sinai right after our slavery we went forty days later after the leaving of Egypt forty days later we found out that many things one is that there's a God two is that we have a soul which means that as much as you can beat my body you can never beat my soul you know how many souls were killed in the Holocaust zero yeah we're how do you kill a soul can't kill a soul it's eternal and it's beautiful and it's holy and it's clean and it's pure and it's and it's it's sourced in the creator himself so which means you have a part of the creator himself inside of you and that's your soul and so okay yeah it was a rough in the Holocaust but and we're standing up now we're gonna build our country or we're gonna build our ourselves so we're gonna build our Judaism back up because we have something way beyond the physical veneer of what we may have gone through at any given time Judaism's the meaning that comes from Judaism and the reason why Judaism is so important is because the it's not a meaning that's man-made this is not a man-made deal here this is a cut it comes from a prophetic experience so it's a god-given thing now I know every religion in the world claims its sources God but I mean you don't have to go beyond his story hit meaning in the history department of the university to know that it's not that there are man-made things take any religion the world is man-made the Hindus got their mysticism it's mostly a mystical tradition they got their mysticism right at the time that Abraham sent his six sons eastward that's why the highest caste of Hindus are called Brahmins like Abraham called Brahmins and check out the scholarship I'm just going off secular scholarship that they believe it came from the West meaning west of the Euphrates which is Israel at exactly the time that Abraham sent his children his six kids that he had with cateura which means incense he married a girl named incense had six kids the Torah lists all his kid all their kids and the grandkids list the names which all are the names of the Hindu books the books of Hinduism are the names of these kids and they took these and there was and it says that God gave all he had to Isaac but to the six children he gave gifts and sent them away from Isaac eastward to the land of the East and though so if he gave all he had to Isaac what are the gifts the answer is the gifts were the mystical tradition and that's why you'll notice that when a Kabbalists sits with a someone who's a master of Hinduism or Buddhism that they have a lot to talk about but when you have a rabbi sit with a Christian they run out of what to talk about within ten minutes and when a rabbi sits when the Muslim they were now to talk about in five minutes because there's not much to talk about but you put a Muslim put a Kabbalistic rabbi with a Hindu mystic they can talk for years literally years in fact that was just what's happening with a rabbi in India right now who's already been talking for a few months with people over there and they and he's yeah he's got another month coming apparently before he comes back and there's tremendous exchange there in a way you could say that though that the Eastern religions are like the internals of Judaism and the Western religions are the externals of Judaism because think that Christianity started right at the end of the temples a period so Christianity is a very big take off on temple Judaism they got it's a centralized prayer just like we used to have centralized prayer the temple they have the church its priesthood we had a priesthood so it's a clergy a clergy set up and how it works it's also funky outfits on the priests incense going around they have everything's everything's just the sack they don't do sacrifices because they say JC was the sacrifice and and that's like they're basically it's just a take-off on it's the externals of temple Judaism without any of the internal because how would they know anything about the internals in general it has to do with the temple service and there you need the oral law which Christians have no clue of that and then and then what happened 700 years later is Islam took off when did Islam take off well who were the who are the people in the region that were into God Jews what were Jews Jews were synagogue Jews not temple to synagogue Jews which was non-centralized meaning meaning you pray anywhere you want and happen we all seen Muslims praying everywhere and Jews praying everywhere you know you see a Jew he's a little embarrassed to pray anywhere and so these step phone booths so the Jews used to go in phone booths and hold the phone and pray in service you'd see Jews playing in phone booths pretending they're on a phone call you know Muslims aren't afraid at all to pray in front of people but Jews would get a little embarrassed so they pray in a phone booth and of course there's the famous story of the while he's praying is some jerk is banging on the glass cuz I really like these little glass boxes it's called phone booths do you remember this and the anyway there was some jerks banging on the door the whole time so the Jews like trying to pray you know in his banging he's praying finally opens the finishes his prayers backs out hangs up the phone opens the door and who was it it was the phone repair service he said this phone hasn't worked in three weeks tell me after what I have heard you do so the anyway so Islam they they pray it's non-centralized prayer there's no priesthood or clergy everyone's a practitioner it's a it's a multi Oh also everyone's a practitioner meaning everyone's got these daily prayers they're doing and it's and they have mosques like synagogues place you can go congregate if you want so so Christianity is the take-off on temple Judaism and it's loves to take up on synagogue Judaism but the actual inner guts of Judaism is the gifts that Abraham gave those six kids and you obviously get an Isaac because we have all those traditions as well and that's why it's interesting to speak to Easterners speaking of people of Eastern tradition that's interesting and you should know by the way even though the eastern people from the people from India and other Far East countries in Southeast Asia that are into these things that are like for example Bali's a Hindu country there when all these countries are you know there's we consider them steeped in idolatry and the reason they're steeped in idolatry is because there's that there in the metaphysical world you know this is called the physical world I think this stuff is physical but it's being beamed down from another realm which is a really complex realm called the metaphysical and in the metaphysical world there are turning off the back light in the metaphysical realm there are entities entities and those entities have very specific addresses and they're and they're in charge of things those entities meaning even the the the black in my sweater the furs all the sweater itself has entities that are creating the sweater but the black colour that you know this was dyed wool and even the dye is has entities that are in charge of black there's entities in charge of brown blue orange red and everything else these are all entities and the whole metaphysical world is filled with those entities and the gifts that Abraham's kids gave the East was all the all the science behind those entities it was all the real details the actual precise details and and what what happened was well they those entities seem to have power if you are not from a Torah background meaning we're from a Torah background so like let's say I don't know who anyone here willing would get picked on okay gotta not be back there that's not these from Mexico okay Guatemala sorry same thing I just took these New York businessman who like have know a lot of Mexicans working for them in New York so we took them to Costa Rica Costa Ricans are not Mexicans not even a little they're very proud Central American country and anyway but they businessmen couldn't they kept saying by accident saying like you know that you know he was talking this Mexican guy and I'm like we have many Mexican guys here he's like Costa Rican so us to consider anyone who speaks Spanish Mexican I tell them you know let meet a guy from Chile and ask him if he knows how to make burritos yeah so nothing if I had the ability to introduce you to those entities and you saw some of those entities to the point where your body went into convulsions and you started throwing up because you just weren't ready to deal with that you'd freak out totally and then when we brought you back from having met that entity yeah would you say you met God or you met an entity that God has in place he's put it in place right cuz you're from the cynic you're from the scientific tradition you're from the Sinai people and the people who experienced sign a aren't gonna confuse this thing you understand we just wouldn't confuse it someone if you what's your name what Jason Jason and what's your Chinese name no I'm chewing chair so nanjing check if you saw this entity that blew you away entirely in its power to the point where you like shaking and you're like throwing up your bodies just like and then i brought you back would you say you met god for sure for Joe he's smiling and naughty you met God and now you understand Hinduism that's all and you know what how can you blame them they didn't have a prophetic experience at SIA it's not in their tradition and our guests here from China didn't your nation the Chinese nation was not at Mount Sinai it was the Jewish people left Egypt went to this mountain and had this insane you know thx surround sound Omnimax 3dl is the blow a moment that's never happened in the history of the world except for that never happened before never happened after you could even say that the three biggest moments in all of creation are creation like the actual creation of it the world apparently there's gonna be an end to it all those like an end game which in Judaism says will be at six thousand years right now we're at fifty seven seventy nine so it's two thousand two hundred twenty one years from now it's just like so close but too far and meeting it for us we can only discuss it but I can imagine our great great great grandkids are gonna be you know so anyway the but there's so there's a beginning there's an end and by the way the most traditions in world believe in an end game like almost every tradition says there's gonna be some kind of it so what's the middle the middle is the revelation at Mount Sinai now if you think it's ethnocentric that only the Jews got to have that revelation cuz it sounds a little F know centric for us to walk around say yeah we had this revelation you didn't and for us to think there's Jews and Gentiles I mean it's the funniest thing that we even used the term Gentiles we believe there's Jews and Gentiles Jews were at Sinai Gentiles weren't but it's a funny thing to say because for example okay oh I was just I was just teaching some Japanese businessmen yesterday and they didn't know the term Gentile and they thought it was really funny that we think there's Jews and Gentiles because we make up 14 million people whereas the Gentiles make up between 7 & 8 billion people so you know it'd be like it'd be like a loop they found a little village on an island somewhere and they meet you meet these little Islanders there and they're like yeah there's us and then there's Gentiles you like what are you people crazy thank you you know the margin of error this when they take the census in China when they count the amount of Chinese people in the world the margin of error is like 80 million and you know how many Jews are in the world you know many Jews are in the world how many would you guess how many how many Jews would you say or do you already know if you oh you already know did you know Elsa did you know how many Jews were what would you have guessed how many Jews if there's 7 billion people how many Jews would you have guessed Jason I was recently in a sports bar and I was asking everybody in the sports bar once I had had too many beers and I was in Seattle in the airport and had a sports bar in the business lounge so I was asking everybody that the the least number that someone guessed was a billion it was a billion everyone figured this you know it's gotta be at least a billion Jews you know if you think of our representation on the world stage you know it should be commensurate with our population you'd think it would be anyway but it's not it's back on so anyway the wait-wait-wait Wednesday I'm I'm still answering your question this is the longest answer to one question of why is religion important in Israel where was I at revelation anyway the bottom line is the bottom line is that is that we're going with a a revealed experience that was revealed by the creator himself so whether we think religion is important or not it is because if the creator the universe gave the law to of how what is called good remember what we said before you can survive but once you're surviving you have a question of like well what would it be to be good because every person's built with a moral voice in their head and so now that I know I want to be good well how can I be good so jus and that's up to a lot of debate what's called good but Judaism doesn't offer a lot of debate there because because the Torah gives us what's called good and that's from the actual maker of the of the system you know what's called good comes from the actual creator of the creation we know that because we had a prophetic experience at Sinai where this what's called good was given it's called the Torah and the Torah is what's called good now I know you get all these intellectuals on the dark web who like love to poke at the Torah and say well that's no that's no source of morality it's got slavery there and and death penalties for for homosexuality and like that certainly can't be cold they that can't be the criteria maybe they they'll say this all the time and these are smart people these are smart people saying this you know you got like your Sam Harris types saying this and then sadly you know Ben ben shapiro like who think God goes in to keep a full-time which is I think amazing like that's so cool it goes and keep a full-time but I think he spent more time in study of politics and less time in yeshiva but he doesn't know how to answer these questions either and so our only chance of a spokesman on the intellectual dark web is ben shapiro which is not going so hot and then there's of course jordan Peterson who's like doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to tuturro but but loves commenting on it and I afternoon I have to tell you I love his commentaries on it I love him because when a genius puts his mind to something that he believes is important he at least believes the Bible is important when a genius puts his mind to it and he's most geniuses put their mind to it they're there to destroy it but he's actually there to show us how it what difference it's made in the world and so I enjoy that very much but but the but again he doesn't know what the world he's talking about when it comes to that and the funniest thing is that you put all these guys put Sam Harris bench pyrrha Richard Dawkins Jordan Peterson and all the other intellectuals on the web today you put them in front of the greatest rabbi in Israel first of all the greatest rabbi in Israel would be too busy to meet with them it'd be easier to get onto the Joe Rogan show then to meet with with one of these rabbis who's like you know they're just busy you know they're like the whole entire nation is being held in suspense by them on what they're going to be dealing with in in the very important decision that need to get made for our nation and they wouldn't give him the time of day now let's just say the rabbi's did give them the time of day they said you know what we're gonna sit with the intellectual dark web stars you know we're gonna have refined come yes key sit with the dark web stars except we got another problem now let's just say they all spoke Hebrew where they all spoke English which would become you kind of skis job to learn English but let's just say they all spoke the same language what's the other issue they have zero context have an intellectual discussion with him they would have to study Torah for I guess with brains like theirs that would probably need 10 years of Torah before they can have an actual mature conversation with it I mean you can't even have the conversation and these guys today consider themselves in charge of these subjects which is an embarrassment and I tell you I love watching them I'm crazy about the intellectual darkweb but as soon as the word Bible comes out here goes another botched job by someone who the whole worlds listening to and doesn't know doesn't know nothing and that's clue means nothing doesn't know anything about how to handle this subject so of course slavery of the Torah mentions slavery is obviously the Torres Roman and death penalties etc stoning people get stoned to death but but like our Torah comes with oral tradition you can't read it for Eid face value do you think our Torah thinks slavery is good none at all and what is it what are all the laws around slavery in the Torah there how to treat a slave if you wind up with one and if you'd be willing to free him that'd be even better but you can't force a man who owns the handiwork of another man in a world of slave trade in those days you can't force him to free a slave he's bought him for a hundred thousand bucks you know and and go tell him to free him okay no thank you I'll be happy to free him hand me another thousand bucks you for him mr. mr. freedom fighter you know the the he's it was part of the trade in those days and they work a lot better than horses man people are amazing workers they can do great great great things and in the days where you could own a human being which we believe is bad but in the days where people did own human beings you can't just tell someone he's got a free to slave but you know at the tour anyway makes you free the slaves on the fiftieth year so meaning if someone bought a slave he only pays whatever years are left so let's say someone bottom slave on the 40th year he's not gonna pay what he'd pay on the 30th year because he's only getting half the dime because on the 50th year he must set him free Judaism is about freedom it's not about slavery and the whole point of it coming out of Egypt is leaving slavery and when it comes to death penalties well then you need more oral law because if you want to say that death penalties are violent yes they're violent where do they set up for why does the Torah keep mentioning death for for example desecrating the Sabbath is a death penalty why no one gets a death penalty for breaking Sabbath for desecrating Shabbos and a death but the doors other earth yeah we have an oral tradition the written law does not qualify itself it requires all tradition and one of the best example in case you're in case you just think I'm making that up best example is that every single commandment in there is not explained not one of them not one of them we tore didn't tell you we have to wear these black boxes maybe the pair I wore this morning cost 1,900 bucks all the detail is involved in there but not one of them is described in the Torah what am i spending $1,900 for and where black boxes when the tour itself doesn't define it well the answer is that the oral tradition does and I'm gonna bet my 1,900 bucks that that that our rabbis got it right when they explain what they are I'm wearing this cosmic dental floss here yeah I'm wearing this it says if one of these if one of these got cut off my garment and so now have a four corner garment with three instead of four yeah I'm taking it off because I'm not gonna walk and I'm not moving till this thing's off of me because we don't cuz the Torah says if you're gonna walk in a four-cornered garment as people used to go in wraps in the old days the you go with you go with you have to put fringes but the Torah just says put fringes on your four-cornered garment doesn't say what it doesn't say eight strings doesn't say five knots doesn't say all these little Kabbalistic wraps over here these little detail things doesn't say anything about it doesn't say anything about how to keep Shabbos so the same Torah that says you get killed for desecrating Shabbos didn't say how to keep Shabbos doesn't say anything nothing just says don't do Malala and then goes on to not describe what the word melaka means so it has to be that the entire written Torah you can't the entire written book of the turret cannot be discussed by anyone who doesn't understand the oral torah and just to go one more step on death penalty's if you open up the track team called Sanhedrin which goes through the court system explains how you set up a court system it turns out that it's impossible to mete out a death penalty you can't even do it if you wanted to you can't meet it out every everywhere you turn we will just we will dismiss the case we don't kill people for that another interesting thing we don't have jails Israel didn't have jails they when someone did something wrong they were sent to a Levitical city and they went and hung out with the holiest people you don't put a bunch of creeps in the same place all that does is add creepiness to your country if you want to reform a person you put him with us with the holiest scholar Leah steeple which was the Kohanim so the priesthood had cities and that's where people went if they were in trouble so then you may ask well why is there a death penalty in the Torah if there's no death penalty ever meet it out if no one ever gets the death penalty so what's it doing in the time why do we have a death penalty and the answer is to let you know where God means it that's where God means it meaning it'd be better you weren't born than to desecrate Chavez what I mean that's kind of extreme what do you mean like me texting on Chavez such a big deal you know like I shouldn't have been born and the Torah says yeah it shouldn't have been born you better you better off dead better off dead than breaking chumps that's weird rabbi that sounds a little extreme and the answer is it's not extreme it's we have no idea what the Chavez's God's trying to tell us that if you had any idea what Chavez was you would wish you'd never been born if he didn't feel strong enough to to keep it something about testifying that this world was created and not just on its own but actually it created it's a creating world that we testify that God created the world by just like God refrained from creating new things on Chavez we don't create new things on Chavez if it's off keep it off if it's on keep it on no new things if it's raw keep it raw don't cook it unchaste AR one day a week and that testifies that God created the world and when God adds death penalty to that all he's saying is that this is the point the fact that you can eat drink and somehow pay your bills is not the point that's not the point of life you know and my apologies to the you know over a billion people in China who think that's the point of life but it is not the point of life and it's better to die than live that way because not no offense obviously everyone in China should be well but there but but the Torah says it's better to die then live with that alone because there's got to be something meaningful for our creation other than just being able to feed yourself or procreate which is survival feeding and reproduction it's not that exciting that you can reproduce go to the zoo check out the chimpanzees they're doing wonderfully ok Bravo you could have a child you know like every species out there procreate yeah you didn't that should not be the most meaningful thing they ever haven't you and that's a little being tough on the girls here because women you know can often be so linked to their fertility that it becomes more meaningful than life itself but uh but that's again it's this is what the message of Torah is is that you got to have more meaning to life than the fact that you can procreate because just cuz you procreated means nothing what means something is if your kids keep Torah that means something that you can create another generation of people who are connected to reality that's meaningful that you can create another generation is Anatomy it's biology it's not meaningful it's science science isn't meaningful in and of itself so there's something about our testifying that God created the world is so beyond our comprehension and how do we know it's so beyond our comprehension in its importance time at its importance that its importance our testifying that God care of the world is so beyond our knowledge in its importance how do we know that how do we know that it's more important way beyond our comprehension that God created the world and rested on the seventh day why is that how do we know that's way beyond our comprehension I already give the answer about six times yeah yeah because it comes with a death penalty which you could never as I said before you can never meet it out there would never be a death penalty we would never allow for it the way our laws work you could never give a death penalty for it so why is there a death penalty to let you know that it's that all that stuff you don't understand about it is there and by the way you can learn it it's amazing stop I mean there's really some fabulous stuff that would make you literally never ever ever even even have a test on whether to text on Chaves like it's it's not that far from you to learn this stuff there's stuff you can learn in a matter of weeks that you'd never dream a breaking Shabbos except in an you know absolute emergency where it's life and death or some other reason you're allowed to drive to a hospital or something but like when I meet people who are you know feel that test of Shabbos like keeping Shabbos or not kicking javis I'm just meeting someone who just never studied they just don't know they don't realize but it's enough for us to know if it came with a death penalty that that's not to scare you it's just to let you know that there's the depths of understanding that you're missing and if you're still having a test about anything in Judaism it's just a lack of knowledge it's not it's not because you're supposed to spend your life struggling over these things you're not supposed to struggle over the things you're supposed to actually know the tour it's your birthright to know the Torah they think your birth rights to travel around Israel with a bunch of you know you know young libido crazy kids birthright the birthright is the knowledge of the torres is the birthright of the jewish people show them everybody thank you for coming once again sorry if i was rough show them this finish
