Shnayim Yomi - Korach - Sh'vi'i - #7- Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi

[Music] The seventh aliyah we learned such a fundamental lesson. I love this. In this aliyah we learned about the concept of supporting the kanim supporting the a person has to give a he has to give a tenth. Back in the day most people were farmers had tomatoes cucumbers scallions onions potatoes. So how you going to support the kanim? You know they have to eat. They're busy all day doing you the favor and taking care of the beta mdash taking care of the shs doing the your messengers to Hashem. Somebody has to support them. These raas are busy 24/7. So Hashem said in this week's aliyah and this aliyah you have to give. If every Jew gives a tenth of their fruits and vegetables the will be perfectly fine. They're going to have plenty of food. They're able to give their families and their wives and family foods. They're able to serve and help in the bet amikdash. What a tremendous lesson day-to-day life every single one of us including myself it is very important to give myself but the mindset has to be not that oh gosh I have to give my I have to give tenth of my money the mindset should be like wow what is that I'm a giver what is that I even have the ability to give myel I had a conversation with someone like that a couple days ago where he told me you know it's very hard when you make let's say $100,000 and you have to give up $10,000 to myself it's extremely hard $10,000 is a lot of money. That's like a whole family trip to I'm assuming $10,000 is a lot of money. So I told him, you're so funny. You rather have no money or you rather have $90,000. The $90,000 that you have after you give them my sale was only given to you because you were going to give my cell. It's like what came first the chicken and the egg. It's not that you have $100,000. Now you have to give a 10th M sale and now you only left for $90,000. No. The only reason why you got $100,000 was for you to give the $10,000 to Saka. You don't know why Hashem gave you the money. It's not that you got the money then you give. It's that you have to give mael. That's why Hashem gave you the money. It's a whole different type of mindset. Another lesson we can learn about is says a beautiful mash about giving the 10th percent of your money of your wealth every single time you make an income every month by the salary. Beautiful mash and I love it. He says like this. Imagine you have a company, a business where the owner hires a worker. So, you know, when you get first hired to the job, you don't get the best job in the company. You have to build your way up. You have to build yourself up over the years. So, he hires a new guy. He makes him, let's say he's the cashier, okay? He sees that the guy's consistent. He comes on time. He's not late. The guy's uh, you know, doing everything correct. He puts the checks in the cash register. He doesn't steal not even a dollar. Everything is calculated. He takes it seriously. He sees after one year, you know, I like this guy. let me give him a better position. He makes him he's in charge of all the cashiers. Another year, the guy's consistent. He's doing well. He doesn't steal anything. He's honest. He's on time. He's he's uh you know, he does everything fast. He's you helps out the customers. The guy does a good job. He likes him. He then he moves him up to a new level in the company. He gets a much better job. He tells them, "I trust you so much. I want you to be the CEO of the company. I see that you worked so well. You knew how to handle the money the first year, the second year, the third year. I see that you're consistent. You're honest. You're good with money. You know how to calculate everything. I trust you so much. I'll make you the CEO of my company. Says gives a person wealth. He tells you here, here's a cash register. Here's the money. Now, let's see what you're going to do with it. If a person is really careful with and not to steal and be honest in business, Hashem sees, you know what? After the first year, are you going to get an X amount of money? After the the next year, Hashem sees, you know what? You were honest the whole year. You gave Mel, you give your tenth of money. You take care of other people. You give you were honest. I trust you with my money. Next year, I'll give you even more money. The next year, a person gives mel, he does an honest and he does it with a full heart. Hashem says, "Wow, look at this guy. He's so consistent. He really knows how to take care of his money. He's a good guy. He gives to that guy. He gives I can trust him with even more money. The next year, the third year, Hashem will give you even more money. When a person is careful with the money, Hashem gives him. When a person is careful with myel to give a 10% of your salary, Hashem says, "Look at this guy. I can trust him with the money. I can trust him with my cash register. Let me give him more money." And Hashem upgrades you to be the CEO of more wealth and more wealth in this in this world. That's why it says give in order to be mean to Hashem in order to be wealthy because Hashem watches to see how careful you will be with the money that gives you that year. And how do you show that you're careful? When you give a 10% 10 10th percent of every single time [Music]
