foreign [Music] this weekend and the rabbi was a uh giving an al-ah teaching the the uh the people in the show and I learned a lot from this I learned something else on this he says that you're not allowed to sell a mezuzah to a guy that's Allah what happens if a guy namjoo comes to the rabbi and says listen uh I have him as was I here and uh I need you to check it to see if it's good so Rabbi says to them you're Jewish no I'm not Jewish so how do you know you need to check it because well my boss I know he had problems in his house so he called the rabbi the rabbi said give me a mezuzot and I'll check them and then everything after he gave it back to him he said everything was good in his house so I have problems in my house so I I'm listening I took it off the wall and I'm giving it to the rabbi the check for me ah maybe it's something wrong with the mezuzah so now the rabbi is a dilemma why the book of lost farm he said says you're not allowed to sell them so what do you do that's what the rabbi asked the crowd so one guy says I have the answer it says what take them as a scroll out of the thing make a photocopy of it and put the photocopy inside and keep the missiles up that's called stealing you can never die you know how to steal it's not your stuff it's just stuff even though he's not allowed to have it you're still not allowed to steal it so another guy says oh I got an idea the mezuzah it's in your head now right take pen and write something over so now it's not a question that's not Kosher and get back to him say everything's okay he doesn't know you have to him on Olive is the same thing as an N he doesn't know the difference so make the elephant to an N or something like ruin them it's not Kosher anymore one letter is wrong Thomas does not Kosher serone if it Rabbi says yeah but this also stealing so now that the crowd is quiet oh okay it's what I can't make a copy of it another guy says you can't just take it out and give nothing back because that's also stealing put the instructions inside oh it's also it's also stealing okay so what do you do but he technically is not allowed to have it the good news is he has a little bit more emit in him than the rest of the crowd that I was around why he's steering for them the answer is not a hundred percent but you're steering for the Amit you're steering for the truth what's the truth what's the truth about time what does Allah say s tell the guy listen you know why you have problems because you have a mezuzah that's why you have problems because you are not Jewish that's it simple tell them the truth why are we so scared to tell people we're Jewish and they're not Jewish he wants to be a Juba convert them don't want to be Jewish don't pretend like you won but everybody has this like dilemma oh maybe you should fool him maybe you should lie to him maybe why just tell the guy the truth he tenemently are called the the Torah says give truth to people give truth just tell them simply listen we are Jewish you are not Jewish Jewish people have as a result non-jewish known Amazon simple that's the problem you have you want to be Jewish will help you you don't want to be Jewish then okay get rid of the problem this is the problem we have we have a little bit of an embarrassment of ourself we're embarrassed to tell people the truth this comes from a lack of Beethoven this comes from a lack of Hashem that everything is going to be fine even if we tell everybody the truth this believe it or not is the reason why most of you the last time you went to school you heard a uh drasha from the rabbi that sounded more like a cartoon that everything's okay that everybody's perfect everybody is a share of the world to come not a single Rabbi says on a regular basis that if you violate Shabbat you have no share of the world to come and you have a death penalty and so on and so forth most people in the English-speaking World here the shot that are not really going to help them why because unfortunately sometimes even the teachers are in a dilemma where we have a lack of we think if we tell you the full truth maybe you're not going to come back next week maybe you're not going to donate maybe you're not gonna press like on my Facebook so even the teacher has to have me that I am it you have to have the Mida the character trait of being a person of emit regardless of whether you have a hundred percent betahon or don't you have to have the knowledge that you have to fill this obligation you have to say the truth regardless when you don't you're only going to create problems for yourself and anytime that a person has fear of an outcome and therefore that fear leads them to make the wrong direction wrongly uh wrong move the beta Levy says that's because your fear stems from the fact that you forgot about Hashem altogether [Music] thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you foreign [Music]
