I would like to share with you a thought
and this is
tremendous lesson for day-to-day life.
The tells us
was able to acquire other people. But
let me share with you a secret from
he says
means he took himself he took himself to
the side which means every single one of
us we have a choice. We have to choose
with our hearts where to take it to the
wrong direction or the right direction.
Hashem or
when it says
it means that took himself he chose the
path with his free will with the he
chose his path to do the wrong thing and
argue with Mosheu. Every single day of
our lives we have a choice.
Are we going to take our hearts? Are we
gonna acquire our hearts to do the right
thing or to shalom go down the wrong
path? Every single one of us has free
choice. What does free choice mean? What
does means that in your level, in your
test, in your situation in life, you
choose at this moment. Should I do the
wrong thing or the right thing? Now, no
two people are the same. It could very
much be that your mitzvah is somebody
else's a and somebody's a it could be
your mitzvah, which is why you can never
judge another person. Why is it that we
can judge another person? And the answer
is because even the Torah is 100% emit
but it's not one rule for all. It
depends on a person's history where he
came from who his parents are what his
situation is how strong his desires are
for this and not for that. No two people
are the same when it comes to desires.
No two people are the same when it comes
to family background. So ma what happens
is every person has a different level
test. So the reason why you can't judge
other people is because in order to be
the judge you have to know facts and you
don't know the facts cuz you know what
the person is going through. You know if
you had a hard day for example let's say
you go to school in the morning and you
see a guy walks in late you say oh this
guy walks in late to shak you don't know
could be that morning his wife was not
feeling well and he had to take care of
the kids at home. So now only you judge
him that he didn't have this guy did a
tremendous mah that you didn't do. So
the reason why you can't judge other
people is because you don't know facts.
You know where happened today. You know
where the guy's coming from. You know
what's going on in his mind and his
heart. Only Hashem knows facts. That's
only Hashem can be the judge. So when it
says what a tremendous lesson chose to
argue with Mashenu, it's not that he was
born to argue with Masherenu. He had a
test that nobody had. But he chose to
take the wrong path. He is responsible
for his actions. Every single one of us
is the CEO of our lives. Every person
has a different test. But every person
can choose how he wants to run his life.
How are you gonna acquire your heart
today? Are you gonna do the right thing
or are you gonna do the wrong thing?
Every person has the power and the
choice to do the right thing. Nobody
else can stop you in the world from
accomplishing great things. If you think
you can't reach high levels because of
your background or because of the
family, because of the city that you
live in, you're making a tremendous
mistake. Kak came from a beautiful
background. Kak had a father that was a
uncles, cousins, everybody around him.
He himself was aar. He was a tremendous
person. But look what happened.
He chose to pick himself up and do the
wrong thing. But what happened? Look at
this person. Beautiful background,
beautiful city.
He was related to all of them. He came
from a family of dynasty. What happened
to him? The answer is doesn't really
make a difference where you come from.
It can help who your parents are or what
city you live in. Ultimately, it's your
heart. You could determine how to live
your life. You can choose, do I want to
do the right thing or the wrong thing.
So is what's the lesson? He chose
himself to take responsibility and do
the wrong thing. and he messed up.
Passed away. He did a tremendous. That's
the lesson we can learn from this week's
that no matter who you are, where you're
from, what your background is, you have
a choice to take your heart the wrong
way or the right way to choose a good
path or a bad path. Every day that
you're alive, you have a choice to do
the right thing that day. and you're
able to accomplish tremendous Torah and
this beautiful organization
with Denino over here. I have tremendous
respect for people like Denino who think
of beautiful concepts to build to change
the world. Every single one of us has
energy in us to do things to build to
produce. You know the say the reason why
we have to go to work. The reason why
Hashem gave a
you have to go work hard and sweat in
order to bring bread to the table. The
reason why Hashem made that in the
nature you got to go work to make money
because Hashem wanted to show us and
symbolize to us that in life humans
always have to be working. There's no
such thing as just sitting at home and
uh doing nothing going on Instagram all
day. Every person has to hustle. It's a
natural thing for humans to build and
build and build. But a person can
choose. Should I only build and use my
energy and talents of building and
producing and working hard? Should I
only use it for wealth and for and for
work? Or should I also use it for even
more important things? That is Torah.
Should I use my energy of producing or
working only on work and getting wealth
on my job? or should I use it for even
more important things that is to build
yeshivot build start a shul give
lectures start a lecture in your house
build organizations so over here
uses his tremendous talents of producing
look at this guy he thought of a genius
idea people unfortunately
is getting out of style let's be honest
it's getting out of style so he thought
to himself how can we do it so people
can start saying
he built this beautiful castle called
has thousands of people already
following you. Can you imagine the
thousands of people are saying
it's one human being that just thought
outside the box how can I help this
world? How can I make Hashem happy? How
can I produce? How can I build? How can
I change this world for the better? I
don't want to be selfish. I do
see you all. Thank you. See you. No, we
thought outside the box. How can I help?
How can I share the wealth? When you
love so, when you love something so
much, you want to share with other
people. When a person gets engaged, one
of the first things you do when you get
engaged is right away you tell your
friends, I'm engaged. I'm engaged. Why
is it the first thing you do? Because
you love it so much, you're happy. You
want to share with other people from
loves.
He loves us so much. He just has to
share it. The concept, you got to share
this concept with other Jews, all the
Jews in the world. He's doing this
tremendous job. For all those that have
follow this organization, good for you.
Round of applause for doing but even
more important tell your friends about
it. It's very important to get that
message out there. There are millions of
Jews across the world and now Hashem
gave us a oral look at it. It's called
social media. Social media is a it's a
blessing. At the same time it's a a
curse. You got to be very careful. Let's
use the part of it. We over here we have
an opportunity to share this concept of
with all the Jews. Tell them about it.
Share the link with them. The website
the WhatsApp videos. Tell them about it.
Tell them all it takes is two three
minutes. Come on. How many times a day
do you go on the news anyways? How many
times do you waste? How about you wait
spend five minutes just reading? What
does it take already? This small five
minutes a day could get you into you're
going to hug and kiss. Thank you so much
for introducing to me this concept
called it changed my and my thank you so
much for all the listeners and remember
is a fundamental thing that have
fundamental are only afterwards they
were invented by we follow them but
there are some that are fundamental
is a fundamental mitzvah it's one of the
cores of Judaism in the every single
week there's a to do the twice and then
read the and some even sayi it's harder
but forum
thank you so much for listening
