Why Did We Leave Egypt? Parashat Behaalotecha

foreign to us especially people that are either new to doing chuva and are comparing their lives now to the Past perhaps they are having some tests uh you know they when they were still a spiritual criminal they were allowing themselves to be also a criminal otherwise in all types of illegal businesses uh that are against the Torah all types of illegal businesses that are against and also the mimshallah the government and they allowed themselves to be cheaters and liars and so on and all of a sudden they're religious and they know they can't stay in these corrupt businesses this cash advance this uh uh selling fake goods and things of that nature their their income drops precipitously initially and they start thinking oh you know what before I became religious I had less problems I had more money I had more fun it seems like and all of a sudden they start regretting doing chuva or sometimes you have somebody that's from somebody it's from their whole life but they look at their non-froom part of their family everybody has somebody that they know that's not from everybody has somebody in their family that's on their neighborhood or their neighbor that's against the Torah and it seems like those people having a good time they're in Hollywood they're in movies all types of things they're living in deluded lives anybody that looks at the record or reads the book The Seventh million all types of things to talk about the Holocaust sees that in 1934 when the the Holocaust was getting worse and worse Jews were being murdered in the streets and concentration camps and so on though all types of anti-toka people in Tel Aviv in Tel Aviv they were watching Pinocchio it was reported in the develop paper that there was a premiere of the Pinocchio movie no happy about it Jews were being murdered in Cold Blood but they're watching Pinocchio they're watching movies in a theater and when the some people complain about all these theaters while Jews are being murdered more and more by the day already by the 1940s Jews War it was announced that over 3 million Jews have already been murdered so some people say close the theaters at least close the theaters they don't want to close the theaters we'll uh settle with you we're not going to close the theaters we're just not going to have music during the intermission why addicted to sins addicted to garbage your brothers and sisters are being murdered in Cold Blood but y'all are watching movies people that unfortunately are not only addicted to sins but are living a deluded life sometimes a person that's from either be about you or they're from their whole life they look at the secular past that they have or somebody that they know that's secular and they see oh it looks like they have a better life look he has a new girl every week look she has a new uh diamond ring every week new boyfriend every week do this every week looks like I have a better life and they start regretting their Meets World that's what Ami said that over here that was the biggest mistake of all that was the biggest mistake of all why says something horrible says that got angry not only that there was no rebuking not only that there was meaningless complaining but rather horrible horrible things that the people said Michelle Obama says to uh to the people prepare yourself for tomorrow and you shall eat meat in the name of Hashem he says you said who will feed us you said it was better for you in Egypt right so Hashem will give you the meat and you'll eat the meat not for one day you shall eat the meat and not for two days not for five not for ten not for 20 days until the entire month of days until it comes out of your nose and becomes nauseating to you why all this heavy punishment okay you killed some you burned some play by this this is a horrible punishment so much so that literally it literally came out of their noses they would they this they were disgusted by meat after this why because you have rejected Hashem who was in your midst and you have wept before him saying why did we leave Egypt you regretted listening to Hashem you said ah maybe I shouldn't have done chuva maybe I shouldn't learned maybe I shouldn't have done what akadashbah who says you regretted the Mitsuwa are you insane look what happened to your forefathers were doing such a thing if you think that this is just ah maybe it's an opinion maybe there's multiple opinions you know everything has opinions we know that Allah if it's puskin in this world it's puskin is chapter three number three a very very important for every single person to know because if a person doesn't know they could literally lose everything and the rambam writes anyone who changes his mind about the mitzvot he has performed and regrets the merits he has earned saying in his heart now you have to say it out loud sing in his heart what value is there in doing these I wish I hadn't performed them as a result of that loses all of them no merit is preserved for him at all as the prophet yes in chapter 33 verse 12 says and the righteous of the upright will not save him on the day of his transgressions this the rambam says only applies to one who regrets his previous Deeds just as a person's merits and sins of weed at the time of his death so to the sins of every inhabitant of the world together with his merits are weighed on the Festival of Rosh Hashanah if one is found righteous is verdict is sealed for life if one is found Wicked his verdict is sealed for death and the average person at benoni's verdict remains tentative until Yom Kippur if he does chuva his verdict is seals for life if not his verdict that seals for death what is all of this connected to to uh this sin bottom line is a person can serve a kadus the whole year goes to shul learns toga does Meets World not only all year not only are you but he did everything but he a day before Rosh Hashanah he sees one of his boys she sees one of our girlfriends going on a vacation to Cancun instead of going to the synagogue instead of getting ready for the holiday they're walking around careless about nothing having a good time new diamond ring new bling bling knew this new that looks like they're living life and they say in their heart ah what do I need to be religious for what do I get I'm barely making ends meet I barely have enough money to pay rent I barely use this barely that for what look at these people the criminals and they're doing they're having a good time the rambam says this person worked all year from its what now he lost everything he shows up poor nothing that's why he has to do a very serious chuva during those 24 hours hopefully it doesn't get judged like a wicked person needless to say this is the same thing that could happen at the end of a person's life with says a person should entrust himself until the day of his death why because a person could serve again to the maximum but then if he watches too many things that are outside his foreign if he watches television if he listens to the non-jewish music if he delves into all types of things he shouldn't he could easily regret all of the good that he did and lose all of it and be judged as a wicked person shalom be judged as a wicked person a person needs to understand who is to your benefit [Music] foreign [Music]
