here you have the Torah tell us something clearly this is one of 12 times in the Torah where hasem commands us to observe the Shabbat the Jewish people are are obligated to observe the Shabbat but not just obligated it's a good suggestion obligated that this is what makes you Jewish and this is what makes you not Jewish so much so that the tah says that you have to speak tells hem says to Moshe speak to am is tell them you must observe the shabbats because it's a sign between me and you those that desecrate will have death upon upon death what is death upon death if you die once how can you die twice teach us in that a person that desecrates the Shabbat has to understand what's at stake here their soul is cut off from their Source from their creator which means number one any blessing that you have gone even if you have a lot of money that money will not be blessed you'll have to spend it on medical bills you'll have to spend it on lawsuits you'll have to in essence give it to people you don't want to give it to you'll die before you end up enjoying it all of the things that cause people a nightmare of a life that's what you'll have you'll have you may have the big bank account digitally but as far as actual real life enjoyment you're not going to get from that money why the blessing the source of blessing is not coming it's gone that's number one number two that person that Jew that desecrates the Shabbat is not only cut off as far as the blessing but is cut off spirit itu in a sense that they put their Judaism on suspension they are now considered in the same level as an idol worshipper as the ramb elaborates in Shabbat Chapter 30 number 15 the last in Shabbat he says a Jew that desecrates the Shabbat on purpose or worships an idol are the same meaning that a Jew that desecrates a the Shabbat is considered the same exact thing as an idol worshipper somebody that pray to a rat to a cat to a monkey to a cow like they do in India to uh to anything but God is the same thing as a Jew that desecrates the Shabbat same concept which means that that person cannot be used in a Jewish ceremony for example if you want to get married and you need two witnesses and Jewish ceremonies need two witnesses to sign theba you cannot use someone that desecrates the Shabbat if there is a court case you have you need Witnesses in a Jewish court case not the civil court case if the witness desecrates the Shabbat you cannot use them as a witness even if he saw the crime he saw the guy take the money from you he saw the murder you cannot use him as a witness if this person is a you want to buy food you need to get let's say meat if the guy that slaughtered the animal desecrate Shabbat is meat is automatically not Kosher even if he is the best butcher in the history of man he is not going to he's not allowed to slaughter the meat if that meat's going to be kosher he could Slaughter for the Arabs he could Slaughter for the uh Christians he could Slaughter for everybody else but for the Jewish people he cannot Slaughter why he's considered an idol worshipper so when a Jew desecrates the Shabbat according to our holy tah it says M they have death upon death meaning they lost the blessing they lost their Jewish status but worst of it all is is that it's death upon death meaning they die twice not just their status in this world but rather their status in the Eternal world meaning that some a Jew that dies a Shabbat desecrator meaning they don't observe Shabbat they see they drive on Shabbat they smoke cigarettes on Shabbat they work on Shabbat that Jew even if they were nice to their friends and generous with their local charity and they even donated some money to save the butterflies in Africa that person goes to geham and never comes out until that Nish gets destroyed until that Soul gets destroyed eternally so you have a situation here that is the worst of its kind and it's also is a situation where even if that person did the schoa that we mentioned about before it won't work a rabbi gives him a blessing it won't work why all sorts of blessing they have let's say just imagine there is a spiritual pipe from The Source above spiritual pipe coming down connected to your n that's where hm gives all the blessings okay so imagine you want blessing to have a wife that's through that pipe blessing to have a husband if you're a female that's through that pipe blessing to have good health that's through that pipe children through that pipe money through that pipe whatever it is that you want through that pipe right you desecrate Shabbat the pipe is cut off what does it mean cut off that means that the sustenance is coming down it doesn't stop coming down but it goes everywhere what is it like just think of it this way just take a pipe that's this fluid going through it let's say just I don't know your water pipe what happens if you just decide to take a machete and cut that pipe off cut it right in the middle while it's working what happens all of a sudden you see that pipe go all over the place water go all over the place or fluid go all over the place a whole big mes possibly a life risk same concept here the sustenance keeps coming down but because the person desecrated Shabbat it goes all over the place that money that you were supposed to get goes to your enemies that blessing goes to your enemies that girl you were supposed to marry your friend marries her that uh kid that you were supposed to have somebody else has them all the things you were supposed to get go somewhere else and whatever you get is not what you were supposed to get you get a bunch of problems you get a bunch of problems so this is one of the ways that a person can destroy the blessings that God wants to give them from that and I hear it too but we're that no's check that [Music] room we're going to get the police
