needless to say the rabbi that's teaching people but not teaching them the truth he's teaching them nice things he teaching them the nice stories the Care Bear went from the sky with the little flying car and he said and he what are you teaching them now here's a proof you could test test whether your Rabbi is a Care Bear Rabbi is a test test you could test it this week this week test it how you test it scariest scariest in the entire Tor I connect this par not because I like to be scary but because I saw many of the promises that says when you don't listen to him I saw him come true in my life I did a sh couple years ago number 45 Torah T number 45 talks about my own personal experience and I go through this par I think it's the first time I said my personal story and I go through PUK after the P showing how I went through many of the things it says in this par so there's two par in the Tora that talk about an extraordinary amount of curses and punishment that promises for not listening to him the first one is my laws in English and the other one is the first one we heard a few months ago that's AEM 49 curses for violating his word treating him like you treat your friends with casualness not taking him seriously and there five levels of punishment 49 different curses ending with getting to a point of getting to such starvation that am would have to eat their children this is in ISU in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 to 26 27 28 gives 98 curses 98 double the amount of what Hashem said double so kazal says this is the difference between the mercy of man versus the mercy of because as much as prophet of all prophets giant of all Giants the biggest in history the biggest sadik in history em slave of hem servant of hem had no personal wants desires nothing canel his life canceled his marriage forem hem gives him a description mhe Moses my servant no one else is described to such level as Moses why Moses the top of the top at the same token known as the humblest of all men so while being the Giant of all Giants he still knew where he stood he knew that he was a giant he knew that he spoke to God face to face he had to write it he knew he was the prophet of all prophets he had to write it in the Torah he knew he was the biggest he wrote it in the Tor he knew no one is ever going to be like mosenu he wrote in the Tor but still he knew where it came from and remained the humblest man of all time he loved am is love them he sacrificed his life day after day for them but yet here he gives them 98 curses double the amount of Hashem instead of mentioning once about the worst punishment of getting such starvation of eating the children he mentions it no less than three times gives details horrible horrifying details which kazal says all came true all of them came true during the destruction of the BET mikdash all of them came true several times throughout history and in last year's we showed how it actually came true even during the Holocaust now in this par in the beginning he talks about some blessings seven times he says fulfill my MIT hem says says today God your lord command you to obey all these rules and laws you must carefully keep them with all your heart and with all your soul not some of the rules all the rules very next verse it says says here today you have pledged it tells all of am today is the day you've pledged what do you mean you've pledged you pledged allegiance to to God making him your God and promising to walk in his path to keep all his decrees not just whatever you feel like it all of them modesty everything not just what you feel like it no I'm hot I don't want to wear ti no no my head is hot I don't want to cover my head no no my feet are hot I want to walk you know with no shoes no no no my my my brain is full I don't want to learn any more t i remember I was a kid used to work out and uh every time you see these people start coming to the gym and uh they'll tell me yeah I want to start working out I'm going to start doing this start doing that but I don't want to be too big I don't want to get too big and I look at them and the guys that are worrying about being too big are usually like 30 lbs like tiny little scrawny little kids it's like I don't want to be too big I'm like first you be have to become like a healthy human being then worry about being big first add some meat then worry about being big what are you worry you know how long it takes to be big big muscular where you think you should go to the gym for a week and become a Hercules so it's like this in Torah somebody does you know starts keeping Shabbat like no I don't want to become too much too too religious what too religious you just kept one Shabbat even you even know if you kept Shabbat if you're not studying from the books of tah you're not learning all the Shabbat you didn't even keep theab 100% why you violate at least five six times why cuz if you don't know allab you're definitely violating Shabbat one example we talked about is someone in chabbat you can use dishwasher so what do you do you wash dishes wash dishes most people wash dishes on Shabbat washing dishes is one of the most common ways people violate Shabbat every week why they use a sponge like they use for the regular week sponge for the regular week they have one for dairy they have one for meat they figure this is kosher this is kosher I'm continuing the same thing no my friend you're making a mistake why the sponge you have for the regular week could retain water once you squeeze that sponge you are violating Shabbat meaning the sponge that you use for Shabbat cannot be a sponge at all it has to be a net it cannot retain water at all at all if it retains water you're violating Shabbat you didn't learn Shabbat you're violating Shabbat so someone just started keeping Shabbat no I want be two religious two religious what two religious just learn the basics Basics learn so second time says you make made a promise to Hashem to walk in his path to keep all of his decrees his Commandments his laws obey his voice emulate his ways what does it mean go his ways be merciful be graceful be righteous be holy this major mid that has without learning Tor and knowing how to do these four things there's no way Way That You Are Holy there's no way that you're righteous there's no way that you're gracious and there's no way that you're merciful how do we know because someone can consider themselves merciful because they like pets they like pets they're merciful and pets they see a straight dog they save the straight dog this is very nice kak for saving the Stray Dog but you have to be more merciful for human beings if all your your extra money is going to save dogs while there's homeless people around you there's people that don't have food to have kou there's people that can't afford to send a kiss to Yeshiva and you're worried about the dogs the cats and the the and the bunnies you're not merciful you actually are no different than the Nazis the Nazis by the way so you know the Nazis treated their pets especially dogs with the utmost respect they love their dogs but while they're sending all the human beings to the gas Chambers they would tell them thank you every time they go in a gas chamber they tell the guy thank you for going in they had manners but it's fake manners it's not real manners why because all the mercy they had went to the wrong place went to the dogs not saying you should kill dogs Shalom is you're not allowed is also you have to have mercy for dogs but it does not supersede humans if you don't learn tah you're not going to do it people think they're gracious they give they give they give what do they give they give money to the zoo they give money to the Red Cross they give money to all types of when there's Jews that don't even know is there are millions of Jews who do not know sh is and you think that you're doing okay by donating money to the Biblical Zoo there's a uh zoo of Noah in Israel some rich couple donated $400,000 which is a fortune in Israel it's like I don't know $5 million in America $400,000 for what to build a gate for the new elephant in the Biblical Zoo of Noah in Israel to raise the soul of someone that died the the the gate for the for the elephant is they think in their little tiny brain that this is somehow going to help some in sh that n is cursing them out right now this is what you did 400 you know how many Souls you can save to come back to a to do with $400,000 you spent it on an elephant think the elephant the elephant even knew the elephant was saying what are you doing go help you give some CDs this is the craziness that we live in today so if you're gracious without Tor you're not gracious at all you're gracious in the wrong places righteous impossible to be righteous without learning toah why you need to know the instructions of how to be righteous holy Hashem says You must be holy cuz I am Holy the greatest investment that a person can possibly do is to invest as much as possible into Cube I urge you to open up your heart open up your wallet support this incredible cause by donating you're not only helping others but you're also opening the door to Divine blessings in your own life by really setting hashem's children on the right track Let's Make a Difference together one person at a time thank you and may Hashem bless all the sponsors and grow the bezat Hashem organization
