שיחת חיזוק (12) בטלפון (מוסר וחיזוק באמונה להיות אנשי אמת) בתכנית TorahMates

0:00Okay, all right. Now, in the name of G-d, let's do this and learn. In the name of G-d, this parashah has 26 mitzvot, and the main part of the parashah is about the Shemitah and the Yovel. But there are many things, many customs, many things to learn from the parashah, and with the help of Hashem we will learn them. So the parashah begins with a verse that is really important to understand because it can change the life of a person if a person really has a goal to get to a place that is really close to Hashem, connected to Hashem, and really acts in every action he does, through Hashem. So here the parashah begins with a verse that says, and the first thing we notice is that here is the first place that we see, the only place that we see that G-d added two words in the first verse. He says, and the first thing we notice is that here is the first place that we see.

1:18Now, every time that G-d speaks to Moses, it was always at Mount Sinai. We received all the commandments at Mount Sinai. It's not the first time, but here is the only place that G-d writes and reminds us that He spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai. Now, Rashi asks, why did G-d really choose exactly this place here, and this specific verse, where He speaks about the year of the Shemittah? to remind us that He spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai. Why didn’t He speak to Moses at Mount Sinai about the subject of Shabbat? Or about Tefillin? Or about the Word of G-d? Or about all kinds of mitzvot? Why exactly did He choose here? I heard in a lesson from Rabbi Nissim Yagen, z"l, he really explained it and asked some really beautiful questions, and really how he explains it, So he says, at Mount Sinai, it is already clear to everyone that all the commandments were received at Mount Sinai. But what is difficult for people to understand is that all the commandments we have in the Torah, all of them came from Mount Sinai, but this is the only place where G-d explains the details of the commandment itself. Now, all the commandments of Shabbat, all the 39 melachot (prohibited activities) that we are not allowed to do on Shabbat, are not explicitly written. We learn them from the construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). Everything that we are allowed to do in the Mishkan, we are not allowed to do on Shabbat.

2:44All the 39 melachot (prohibited activities) that we are not allowed to do on Shabbat are not explicitly written. We learn them from the construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). Everything that we are allowed to do in the Mishkan, we are not allowed to do on Shabbat. Sh'zeh davar mash sheyachol lezazeh et ha'adam, oto shehu mitbonen ba'dvarim, kesheyachol lehavin shekilo, im hakadosh baruch hu be'atzmo amar, afilu bishvil habayit sheli, sheba'kadur ha'aretz, asur lecha lechalel Shabbat. Az barur she'asur lechalel Shabbat, leshmoa be'knesset. So if G-d really says that, then let's make one for Shabbat. So He's already showing us how important Shabbat is. But Shabbat in itself, all the other things, G-d doesn't just tell us to keep and remember Shabbat. He doesn't really tell us how to keep it and how to remember it. The same thing with prayer. What?

3:50Yes, that's what I'm trying to understand in the question. Like, is it forbidden to tell a goy to do something specific for us? Yes, something specific for us. Yes, there is, yes, in the matter of a goy who sells land in Eretz Yisrael, not in America. Like, if he wants to buy something from America, then no. But yes, if he sells land in Eretz Yisrael, then yes, it's something different. You don't have to tell him to write, you can do this business even on Shabbat, but in any case, it's an issue that these things don't really happen in our world today for a few reasons. First of all, most of the contracts are not really written; it's all on the internet.

5:04Secondly, it doesn't seem to me that the Goyim are selling us anything in Israel. It seems more that the Jews are selling the land to the Goyim. Thirdly, this is not the only problem we have regarding the Shabbat. This halacha is more suitable for several generations ahead of us, especially since we know that 75-80% of the people of Israel don't even understand what Shabbat is. And because of that, not many are learning this. Israel, not in Israel. In the whole world? What do you mean by Israel? No, I mean that in Israel, not 80% of the population. So what do you think? In Israel, 35%, 30% of the population. Okay, so 70% don't observe. They don't observe, yes, they don't observe, but they know about it. Okay, no, no, no, you have to understand: when a person doesn't keep Shabbat, for someone who understands and really grasps things, it means that he is either 100% sure he is crazy, or that he doesn't know what Shabbat is.

6:19He can know what Shabbat is; it's one of the days of the week, and even the goyim, even the yona, the yona knows what Shabbat is. It means that there is a seventh day of the week. It's not a big deal to know that there are seven days of the week. I'm saying to understand the content of Shabbat, maybe if it's the most profane person in the world, which doesn't seem to me that there is a real Jew who is like that, but maybe there is. Shabbat. Shabbat. Shabbat. Shabbat. At the end of the parasha, after we got all the issues of the yovel, all the issues of the shemitah, all the issues of how to relate to a slave, whether he is a Jewish slave or a non-Jewish slave, how to relate to business, how to relate to each other, to his brother, like, in terms of business. All the people of Israel, like, that HaKadosh Baruch Hu calls it in terms of your brother. After all these commandments, at the end of the parasha, HaKadosh Baruch Hu mentions something that is so...

7:37It doesn't sound like it's so connected to this parasha, but it looks like it is connected, and it means, we'll slow down a bit and then we'll go back. It says in verse 1, in the last chapter, verse 26 of the parasha... He says, now, we received all these messages that were mostly related. to Shemitah, to the year of Shemitah, to Yovel, which is another kind of Shemitah in itself, it's after 50 years, the year of 50. After all these things, HaKadosh Baruch Hu reminds us, don't lose the work of the Avodah Zarah. Don't, it's forbidden for a Jew to even enter a house that has a Pesel, whether it's Buddha or whether it's any Pesel, it's forbidden for him to even enter this house.

8:44He is not allowed to engage in avodah zarah, but Christianity is 100% avodah zarah. He is not allowed to do these things. He is a special person. That's it. That's it. And then he reminds us... Yes. To destroy it, yes. To destroy it, yes. To destroy it. To destroy... It's also a matter of Psalms. It's like, if a person wants to have, let's say, a beautiful or beautiful painting or something like that, then what they say about it is if you destroy it a little bit. You destroy it a little bit. Ah, it's not perfect. But to enter a synagogue, to enter a Reform synagogue, to enter a Conservative synagogue, in general, it's forbidden.

9:46In terms of the job where you destroy the place? If you destroy the place, yes. But if you build it, the place is forbidden. Oh, the price proposal is forbidden for you. You have to do it outside. Oh, because you say, like, you don't know the price proposal until you enter. That I need to check, because I don't want to give you a 100% answer. I need to check it. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Do you still work in this place? No, there is no one here anymore. We destroyed the walls, we destroyed everything, we destroyed everything, we destroyed everything. Ok, so if there is no place, it's not considered, it's like, that's it. The question is before you, you know, you know what I mean. Yes, that's what I'm saying, that's what I need to check, like before... There was an idol, there was an idol of some kind,

11:07I think that because the goal is to destroy the place, there will be arguments that are valid in the matter, but to give you a 100% answer, you need to check. You need to check. But... What do you say to a person who is now working in a factory? You told him about working in a factory, and all of a sudden he is working in a factory. Can he get in there? In a place of avodah zarah? No way. He doesn't see anyone, he is walking with his shoes on. He has a gun, he has a gun. Do you work in avodah zarah in this place? Yes. Do you work in a... It depends. If it's in the synagogue itself, where they worship avodah zarah, they are not allowed to enter, even if they are paid a million dollars. They are not allowed to enter the place of avodah zarah. But if it's some kind of hall that is connected to the synagogue, or a hall that is connected to the Reform Knesset, or a hall that is connected to the Conservative Knesset, it's not really the place where they worship avodah zarah, or worship Hashem.

12:35So there, yes, it's allowed. But if it's inside the synagogue itself, where they pray and chant the name of Hashem, it's forbidden to enter. What? What? Chant the name of Hashem? Chant, chant. Why chant? It's forbidden. No, the three that I mentioned—Christianity—is avodah zarah because they divide Hashem into three. They say that Hashem is the three, and they say that He brought in a woman who was married to a man, went to a man's house and brought her in, physically, which is in general... If they say so, then how did we, the Jews, say, but we don't say, that HaKadosh Baruch Hu said to Sarah, you have children. Okay. Say it again. No, it's... No, it's not the same thing at all. No. It's not the same thing. It's not the same thing. No, no, there are two different things. Let's understand the things. The thing is...

13:54Okay, that's what I'm going to tell you, I'll explain to you. So let me explain to you. The point is that Sarah Imeinu, first of all, learned the hard, the real, the beautiful thing of the Torah. Sarah Imeinu, Sarah Imeinu didn't have a child. Not that she didn't have one. Last week we talked about how it was written in the book. Yes, she didn't have a child. Exactly, she didn't have a child. So he sent an angel to tell them that HaKadosh Baruch Hu will heal her. Like, He will put the child in her body. So really, a wonderful nes. Yes, yes, but the Imahot had them, not all of them. All of them had children. If all of them didn't have the ability to have children, the world wouldn't have existed. It was a mess with him; he had to fix it himself. He did it to all the Imahot. All the Imahot, all of them. As the sea split in two and the whole world split in two, I heard...

14:55Oh, it could be. I think you're right about the recognition. Yes, but not everyone had recognition. Not the whole world had recognition, though. These people were children. Yes, yes. It could be. It could be. I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but it could be. But now, in the matter of a woman with us, to bring the thing, a woman with us made a sacrifice and added to it a part of the body. Nes, that's it. Now, not that, but like, Nes, Nes Gadol. ...and it's also a mitzvah to do the foreign work, so you have to understand that the new covenant in their book says that HaKadosh Baruch Hu will bring in this woman who was married to a man like a man with his wife. Yes.

16:19Like, Baruch Hashem, you have children, Baruch Hashem, I have a daughter. All the world is like this; people have children, like this, like relationships were established. There is no bigger village than this. I don't even know if the people in Uman who drink the milk of the cows and work all kinds of foreign jobs, I don't know if this is worse than this, I'm not sure. But it's like... Yes, so this is the first thing. The second thing, they say that God is three, God forbid. Not one. He has three parts. There is no such thing. He has no body and no figure of the body. So this is all. And then the third thing, they say that the son is one of the parts, which is as if he himself is God. So there are three types of avodah zarah (foreign work). Three types of misguidance in Hashem, in the Torah, in the truth, and everything. And every person with a little wisdom, who has even one verse in the Torah, can understand that it's all nonsense. But the problem is that many people don't want to believe in it, don't want to believe in the Torah, don't want to believe in the New Testament. Even, unfortunately, the Rav,

17:38Jews, even Israelis, fall for this nonsense. One of the reasons is because in our generation, we have two diseases that really kill people and cause many, many disasters. One of them is lack of knowledge, ignorance. People don't have a minimal understanding of what is written in the Torah. So when someone comes to you and says, "Listen, it's written, do you believe in the Torah?" Yes, yes. The person says yes, but he didn't even read a verse like that in the Torah. He reads it; there's a person called Moshe Rabbeinu, there's Avraham, there's Yitzchak, there's someone called David. His wife reads a bit of Tehillim, but he doesn't know what's in the Torah. So someone says, "Do you believe in the Torah? Okay, listen, let me show you in the Torah, you see it's written in the book of Yeshayahu." This verse is written, and I tell you, this means, with your name and memory. So the person says, "Oh, it's in the Torah, I already believe in it, and this person shows me something that sounds logical." And for a person who is an am ha'aretz and doesn't know anything about his life, it sounds logical, and he doesn't know that it's not related at all.

18:54This verse is written, and I tell you, this means, with your name and memory. So the person says, "Oh, it's in the Torah, I already believe in it, and this person shows me something that sounds logical." And for a person who is an am ha'aretz and doesn't know anything about his life, it sounds logical, and he doesn't know that it's not related at all. They don't want to hurt anyone. They don't want to hurt anyone. They want to be nice, that everyone will love us. Even if it causes those that we want to love us, that it causes death. So if a person doesn't want to have surgery, for someone to save his life, because he doesn't want someone to get out of pain. They don't want to hurt anyone. They don't want to hurt anyone. They want to be nice, that everyone will love us. Even if it causes those that we want to love us, that it causes death. So if a person doesn't want to have surgery to save his life because he doesn't want someone to feel pain, But if he doesn't do the surgery, the person will die! If you don't tell this person what is a Shabbat ritual, huh? It is written in the Qur'an, the person will show his face to you. He will show his face to you, yes. He will show his face to you, okay. But, from my point of view, someone like me, sometimes I want to come and show people that it is not my business, I don't want to hurt anyone. Yes.

20:13But, if he doesn't do the surgery, the person will die! If you don't tell this person what a Shabbat ritual is, huh? It is written in the Qur'an, the person will show his face to you. He will show his face to you, yes. He will show his face to you, okay. But, from my point of view, someone like me, sometimes I want to come and show people that it is not my business, I don't want to hurt anyone, yes. What are you doing? Recalling? What are you doing? Recoiling? "What are you doing? Recoiling?" "I don't know."

21:15I don't know. No, a person who is mentally ill, you are not allowed to bring him home. Okay, you will help him in another way. You will help him in another way. You will find him some place, some Beit Chabad, some organization, some something, that he will go there for Shabbat. But to bring him home with six children, chas v'shalom. No, a person who is mentally ill, you are not allowed to bring him home. Okay, you will help him in another way. You will help him in another way. You will find him some place, some Beit Chabad, some organization, some something, that he will go there for Shabbat. But to bring him home with six children, chas v'shalom. If a person is already talking about the fact that his parents were murdered, it's already crossed the line. Oh, he's already dead. In the name of Hashem.

22:30He's a person who needs to respond in a difficult way, not an easy way. He needs to get an expert to help him. People who are coming from the '40s and don't make it, they've already finished. The systems are no longer there. Yes, but why does he accept his mother's name? Why does he accept his mother's name? I told him, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I want to talk to you with the people of Morocco. And he said, no, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'll talk to you. Why? Because it's practical. He had done so many things, so many things, so many things, and all of them are from the people of Morocco. They're terrible. They're terrible. It will be what it is. You don't want to eat? It will be what it is. Live today, be blessed by Hashem.

23:31"I told him, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I want to talk to you with the people of Morocco." And he said, "No, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'll talk to you." Why? Because it's practical. He had done so many things, so many things, so many things, and all of them are from the people of Morocco. They're terrible. They're terrible. It will be what it is. You don't want to eat? It will be what it is. Live today, be blessed by Hashem. No, the best thing you can do is to give him discs of Rav Mizrahi or give him the links of my lectures. With God's help, we are now in the process of making discs for my lectures as well. And you have to bring him rabbis that prove it." No, the best thing you can do is to give him discs of Rav Mizrachi or give him the links of my lectures. With God's help, we are now in the process of making discs for my lectures as well. And you have to bring him rabbis that prove it. No, the best thing you can do is to give him discs of Rav Mizrachi or give him the links to my lectures. With God's help, we are now in the process of making discs for my lectures as well. And you have to bring him rabbis that prove it. So, last week... So...

24:33So, last week... So... You can tell him, listen, first of all, you're his boss, so you can silence him easily, huh? You can tell him, listen, first of all, you're his boss, so you can silence him easily, huh? This is a person who has to go to rabbis who prove it. It's not a nice way. There are several methods to help people in teshuva. There is a method of very wise people who have knowledge and they love the words of wisdom. The method of Rabbi Zamir Cohen is a very good method. Rabbi Efraim Kahlon, something amazing.

25:55This is a person who has to go to rabbis who prove it. It's not a nice way. There are several methods to help people in teshuva. There is a method of very wise people who have knowledge and they love the words of wisdom. The method of Rabbi Zamir Cohen is a very good method. Rabbi Ephraim Kachlon, something amazing. They really speak wise words, and it's very beautiful. There are people who are hard, many of them are Israelis. They are very hard; they think for themselves, they have a lot of pride, and there are two ways. Either the Holy One, Blessed be He, reduces them and causes them to fix, after fixing, after fixing, after fixing, until a person... He doesn't even... He doesn't encourage being a coward. He doesn't encourage being a coward. A man's pride is for us. King Solomon told us. So, when a person has pride, the Holy One calms him down and gives him all the reasons in the world to be nothing. When he thinks of himself as nothing, He really calms him down to nothing.

27:13or the second way, the second way is to bring him to a rabbi who proves that he is not politically correct, he says the whole truth as it is. The rabbi sometimes also says it, but in a hard way, like the way of Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi and a few more who do it like this, because... especially with people like that, if you talk to them only in a nice way, they won't pay attention to you. They will just make fun of you. They won't take it to heart. But if you really, if you talk to a person on the same level, but with wise words. And you show him how much of all the stupid things he does with his mouth and how good he is with all these things, you do good to him. And such a person can return to Teshuva in a very good way, but you have to bring him to a rabbi, to an expert. If you don't have the words...

28:19I told him that he's alone, he's alone, he doesn't talk to his father, he doesn't talk to his mother, he's with his sister, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law. . . . he's alone. He doesn't talk to his father, he doesn't talk to his mother. He's with his sister, his sister-in-law. . . . ... I told him that he's alone, he's alone. He doesn't talk to his father, he doesn't talk to his mother, he's with his sister, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law . . . .

29:33Like these people, what can I tell you about them? Quiet, quiet, quiet. You can't even put your hands on a bag and not talk. There is no attention from the head. There is no goodness in the world. So, come on, come on, come on, come on. Now there is a Mishnah, Pirkei Avot, part 2, Mishnah 6. He was saying, we are talking about Hillel, Let's learn this Mishnah a little bit, so we can understand what the Chazal here, what Hillel really means. Now, he says, A man, what is a boor? A boor is a man who has no... No, the nation of Israel is something different. They say a boor is a heretic, but the nation of Israel is not a heretic. So you can already see that here is a boor and here is the nation of Israel. These are two different things. Now, a boor is a man who has nothing. Really, like, he's empty. He has nothing. He has no knowledge, he has no wisdom, he has nothing. He's empty. Yes, so...

30:56I don't know if it's a boor, but let's see if it's a boor. Now, boor, if a person is a boor... Yes, boor. If he's a boor in the Torah, he's a boor in everything, really. So if a person is a boor, he can't have fear of Hashem. Why? He doesn't even know, he doesn't have a minimal understanding of what Hashem is. He doesn't have a minimal understanding of what Torah is. He doesn't have a minimal understanding of what the purpose of life is. He has nothing, he has nothing. He doesn't know, he is dead. I call him a man of rights. A man of rights? A man who receives the name of Hashem? Why all of a sudden? Wait a minute, wait a minute. You were talking on the camera. Yes, yes, yes.

32:06Hello? Did you hear me? Yes. Now, a person who is a boor, who is empty, who has nothing, who has no minimal understanding of what the purpose of life is, so it's obvious that he will make a mistake. Why? Because he doesn't know the meaning of them. So, it's obvious that he will make a mistake on Shabbat, he will say the name of Hashem, the name of Hashem, he will shake his skin like it's water, he will act like... Everything and everything will shake the name of Hashem on every step. Huh? Did you hear me? Yes. Now, a person who is a boor, who is empty, who has nothing, who has no minimal understanding of what the purpose of life is, so it's obvious that he will make a mistake. Why? Because he doesn't know the meaning of them. So it's obvious that he will make a mistake on Shabbat; he will say the name of Hashem, the name of Hashem, he will shake his skin like it's water, he will act like... Everything and everything will shake the name of Hashem on every step. Huh?

33:09He has no fear, exactly. Why does he have no fear? Because he has nothing; he is empty. But now he says, "and not the people of the land of Chassid." What does it mean, "not the people of the land of Chassid?" Now, a person who does not learn Torah has no idea what is good. Why? Because everything he thinks is good is all from his logic. It is not from the Torah. It is not the logic of God. It is the logic of what the Holy One, blessed be He, created. The person, this shepherd, the one who... starts from a seed and grows, and the fruits will be consumed for a few more years. He uses the logic of this good thing. This person uses his logic instead of the logic of God. So now, when a person uses his logic, he has already failed. Why? Because everything he thinks is good is really not good. And everything that he thinks is not good is really good. What proof does this have? What is the idea? What does a person who doesn't have the Torah think is good? Let's see. Money, girls, honor. These are the three main things, and there are a few other things, but these are the three main things.

34:31Now, honor, we know that G-d Himself says, in a person who has honor, Me and him can't be in the same room. Impossible. Why? A person who takes honor thinks he's the Creator. He thinks he's G-d. But G-d says there is only one G-d. That's Him. That's G-d. So, Me and him can't be in the same room. So this person already understands that a person who is honorable, what does he really do to himself? In fact, he separates himself from G-d, from all the prosperity that G-d gives to the world and gives to this good person. The person separates himself from the prosperity. So this is a person who has knowledge; he wouldn't do it, but he does it. Why does he do it? Because he lacks knowledge. So that's the first thing. Now, we know that honor is not good. The second thing is the matter of women. A man who has a reason, he understands that every man who wants to succeed in the world has to be faithful to his wife, has to have a house of peace, and has to have a fixed place, not to be with a new woman every week. Why? First of all, it's good for life, it's good for all things. Second, if a man is with all kinds of girls every second, with a girl, it's a waste. Not only are we not talking about the worst waste in the world, which is breastfeeding—we haven't gotten to that yet—only when he touches this woman who's pregnant because she's not married, she's pregnant, it's already a problem.

35:37a fixed place, not to be with a new woman every week. Why? First of all, it's good for life; it's good for all things. Second, if a man is with all kinds of girls every second, with a girl, it's a waste. Not only are we not talking about the worst waste in the world, which is zera levatala—we haven't gotten to that yet—but when he touches this woman who's pregnant because she's not married, she's pregnant, it's already a problem. If he has relationships with a woman that will not cheat, then he will have some kind of Gehinnom. He doesn't have a minimalistic concept. So a person who has a bit of Torah, he knows that he doesn't want to get to the Gehinnom. The third thing is money. Why does he want money? He wants to have a lot of money. A person who understands a bit of Torah, if a person has a bit of Torah, then... "What are you doing? Recoiling?" I don't know.

37:00If you think about it, I have the right to eat at home, I have the right to pay the money for the yeshiva. You have... What? In the world of ikarim. I said to him, listen to me, I understand what you're saying, I understand you. I don't think that I would do the same as you, but it's not true, I said to him. The day that I understood, and I didn't really tell him, I didn't tell him anything in my life. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything, and I didn't think, and I didn't think, and I didn't think, and I didn't think. Yes, this person is very far from the truth. So what I can suggest to you is...

38:23Yes, this person is very far from the truth. So what I can suggest to you is... Yes, his soul will not disturb you too much. You need strength. Strength doesn't take people. It's not just a matter of knowledge. Yes, his soul will not disturb you too much. You need strength. Strength doesn't take people. It's not just a matter of knowledge. Yes, that's what I'm telling you. So if it's not, then you have to bring him something. So what I can suggest to you is my personal story, the lecture I gave, how many lectures I gave, the personal story. In order to send it to you, I did the last lecture in Netanya. I did it in Hebrew. I blame myself that he only speaks Hebrew. It doesn't sound like... No, it's not a problem for me. It's just a problem for you. It's not a problem.

39:36Okay, so I can send you the link to this lecture, so you can see it. Everything he's looking for, everything he wants, everything he's seeking, and everything he thinks is true, I had. And you can see the story, and you can see the result. With the help of Hashem, this is at least, maybe... Yes, I also told you, I came to New York to do lectures, with God's help, for another week and a half. Every day we have lectures, on the 5th of June. So, the first day, there is a lecture in Staten Island, the second day in Brooklyn, the third in New Jersey, the fourth and fifth also in Brooklyn, and then, at the end of the week, we will be in Staten Island again. I'm in Queens. Huh? I'm in Queens. I can't hear you. Queens, I'm in Queens. Not yet, not yet, not yet. They asked me to be in Queens. I have a few viewers there, but I didn't get in touch with anyone. But maybe, God willing, maybe it's... I already, like... I have a lecture every night. So if I do a lecture there, I need to do it a little earlier. We'll see, God willing.

41:01But bring him to lectures, show him the lesson, and with the help of Hashem, it will bring him back to normal. At least he will get to the point where he will check himself. Bring him, bring him from the beginning to the end, because I don't know how to do it myself. I am now in the field. I worked all week, I didn't work like you, but I worked. I worked for you, I worked for you. I worked for you, I worked for you. I worked for you, I worked for you. It can be a kever. Today, I don't know how to explain it. How can I explain it? I said, I see here, I'm standing in the middle of the night. I'm standing on the floor, in the direction of the house. Okay. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how to explain it. Wow. Okay, b'shem Hashem. B'shem Hashem. The yetzer hara is always different from the Torah. I'm trying to make an explanation. I'm trying to make an explanation, but people meet and... I don't know how to explain it.

42:03I learned something beautiful today. Rabbi Efraim Kahlon learned something beautiful. He says a person needs three things, only three things, to fulfill the purpose of his life. Only three things: ראשי תיבות (rashei teivot) של אמונה (of emunah). Emet. Emet. Emet. Rashei Teivot shel Emet. Ma yesh? Alef. Alef. Emunah. Alef. Alef zeh Emunah. Mem. Mem. Mitzvot. Mitzvot. V'tav. Torah. Torah. Achshav. First of all, we need to learn the Torah, start from the beginning, learn the Torah, know what to do, know that Hashem is real, know what is written, what is written, from Hashem. After that, we need to take action, not just learn the Torah and not do anything.

43:17There are people who tell me that they read the weekly portion of the Torah every day. There is someone who tells me that he reads the weekly portion of the Torah every day. He reads the parashat Shavua every week, though. Yes. He goes to the Beit Knesset, eats kosher, everything. He eats everything. But he once said that when he opened the Book of Hashem, he said that it's the same as the Torah, slowly. We can't... What slowly? Between 70 and something. How slowly? His whole life he's been reading parashat hashavua. He knows the five chumashim by heart, he tells me. It's not... Yes, but that's what he said, it's on the second page of Masechet Beitza. Who said that he read all of Masechet Beitza?

44:17I heard, I also heard a lot of things. I also heard—I heard that Hitler was a nice person before Hitler was born. It doesn't matter. Let's get back to the point. Now, Torah—first of all, we need to read it, to learn it. Why? To fulfill it. To fulfill it, how? Mitzvot. But all of these things—the Torah and the Mitzvot—are not worth anything if you don't have faith. Why? If you take the faith, which is the first one... that you know that Hashem, which is written in the Torah, is the same Hashem that we have now. He won't change. Hashem doesn't have a limit. He doesn't need our help. He doesn't need us. He doesn't profit from us. He's perfect. And the best thing is that He created us to serve us, not to serve Himself. He's already perfect. So, when a person understands that Hashem is not limited, and He doesn't need us to work extra to help Him, for the promotion, if He wants to give us a certain promotion, whether you work 10 hours, or you work 8 hours, or you work 25 hours, it’s the same promotion. It won't change. He doesn't need your help. If you don't have emunah (faith), what will remain of the first words of truth? Yes?

45:40No, Rosh Hashanah, not Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashanah, yes. Yes, now, what remains if there is emunah, mitzvot, and Torah, then it is true. What remains if we remove the emunah, remove the Aleph, what remains? Mavet. Why mavet? Because in a person who... But emunah is not a thing, it's not a thing, it's a thing of years, it's not a thing of years. It's a thing, you remove it, it's one time. What, Torah you learned in the middle of the night? Torah, Torah you learned in the middle of the night? No, it takes time, it takes time to learn Torah, right? Okay, you learn every day, every week, every... You learn, okay, mitzvot, what you learned, all the mitzvot you know now, you learned in the middle of the night? It takes time, right? Years, okay. Now your work, your profession, you learned in the middle of the night? No, it takes time too. You strengthen yourself, slowly, better, slowly, better. Okay, emunah is the same thing. But we need to understand, we need to understand, why do we need this emunah? Why? Why is it written here, if there is no emunah, a person dies? Because a person who has no emunah, he really lives like a person who died. All his life, he works, and works, and works, and works, but he only suffers. Everything he does has no meaning.

47:07He thinks that he needs to work 70 hours a day because he needs to help Hashem, the Holy One who created the heavens and the earth. And there is more wisdom in the first verse of the Torah than all the wisdom of man in the whole world. There is more wisdom in the brain of the most modest person in the world than all the wisdom of man. So the One who built this and this and this and everything, the sky and the earth and everything between them, does He need your extra help to work? He already told you, you will make a certain amount, you will make X, He already told you a year ago. It doesn't matter, you can break your head from here to the end of the world, nothing will change. The only thing that will change is how you will make the money. This person studies every day. How does he study? We said it, I think, in a lesson, I don't know if with you or with someone else. There's a story in the book you like, Gan HaEmunah, about the good husband. So the good husband, one day, sees this person, a poor man, pouring water. Do you remember this story? Pouring water? Pouring water, water.

48:38Okay. He pours water, and the man works hard. You know, it's hot outside. And the owner sees him and asks him, "What's up?" The man smiles and says, "Baruch Hashem, everything is good, everything is fine." Okay, fine. The next day, he sees the same man, pouring the same water, the same thing. He says, "What's up?" He said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." So the owner of Shem Tov laughed and said, Baruch Hashem, Ashrecha. He said to him, what did I do? He said, now, at the end of the day, I understand why there is a secret between the Mishnah and the Gemara. The Mishnah says that HaKadosh Baruch Hu

49:56says that He judges, He gives him a promotion, from year to year. No, this is the end, the end of the year. It says that G-d judges, decides what our promotion will be, from year to year. He already decides; it doesn't matter what you do. You work 20 hours a day, you work 2 hours, you work as a mailman, you work in the stock market—it doesn't matter what you do. What G-d decides, that's what you get. So he already decided. But the Mishnah, which is preceded by the Gemara, says, no, He judges you every day. So I always asked, the Baal Shem Tov says, I always asked, if He already decided what my punishment will be at the beginning of the year, why does He judge me every day? He already decided, that's why He judges me. And now that I see you, that yesterday you said to me, "Shalom" with a smile, and today you said, "Shalom" with a smile on your face, these are my words, now I understand. He has already decided how much you will make a contribution, but every day He judges our actions, how will you receive this contribution? Now, there is a person, there is a person, who can go to work,

51:22he has a career of 20 years. He comes to work, he thinks he needs to be the next senior of this company. He's like "Big D." He comes to work, and the senior of this company says, "Excuse me, sir, we're hiring you." So now this man goes home, all his pride in his mouth, He sees that he is so nothing. And he can even get to the point where he... he is exhausted. Yes. He comes home. He comes home. Everything is good and nice. He is depressed. He says, you know what? Let's go to the bar. A few drinks with the guys. Maybe we will get out of this depression. So, on the way to the bar... Yes. Now, he thought that all the progress in the world had to come from his work. The Holy One said to him, no, I'll prove to you that it's not from your work, it's from somewhere else, even more. But apparently, he made a mistake that it had to come from this way, a harder way. You understand?

52:50He thought that all the progress in the world had to come from his work. The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to him, no, I'll prove to you that it's not from your work, it's from somewhere else, even more. But apparently, he made a mistake and thought that it had to come from this way, a harder way. You understand? So, that's what a person, every day, you wake up in the morning. Every person wakes up in the morning; sometimes he's happy in the morning, something like happy. Why? I don't know. Happy. But sometimes he's sad. Not only sad, he's frustrated. He sees his wife... No, no, let me explain to you, let me explain to you.

53:50Why? Why? Why? Why, one day he's happy, and the next day he's not happy? Because when he goes to sleep, that's the renewal. When he goes to sleep, his soul goes up. When it goes up, it goes before the court. They tell him everything he did, and he needs to sign on everything he did. Did you beg? Yes. Sign. Did you pray? Yes. Sign. You gave a warning. Yes. Sign. Everything he did, sign. Now, they tell him, in the end, all the actions he did. OK, because of all the things you did, we forgive you, but tomorrow will be a very hard day for you. So because of that, in the morning, he got up at nine in the morning. He himself doesn't know, but his soul knows, that today will be a hard day. So because of that, he got up at nine in the morning. Do you understand? So a wise person who learns this thing, who learns this Torah, understands that, or, if he now got up at 9 in the morning, got up in a bad mood, he can do two things. Either he will continue to do aveirot, to do and to do, and all these things, and the day after it will be even worse. Or, he will understand that there is no such thing as suffering from even the smallest thing in the world without aveirah. There is no such thing.

55:20There is a law and there is a judgment. Everything and everything has a reason. There is no such thing. So if he understands that there is a law and there is a judgment, and everything that happens to him is because of him, it is because of his actions, not because of the actions of Hashem. So he says, you know what, I probably did something wrong yesterday, I need to answer today. When I go to the Beit Knesset, when I make a testimony, I will not destroy things, I will make a testimony as necessary. Take the time, study the words, and understand. Today, instead of going to watch baseball with the guys, instead of just fiddling with the guys, let's study my words. Let's study the Torah for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour, an hour and a half, as long as there is time. So, the person knows that if I got up in a bad situation, it seems that Hashem is not pleased with my actions. If he is in a good state, and he has a good state of mind, then he already knows, we will return to what we did yesterday. Probably, Hashem wants me. So this is what a person needs to understand: when he has emunah, the third part of truth, he has everything. Why? Because not only does he learn and learn the things we are talking about, but he believes in them.

56:36If a person learns the whole Torah, everything, the whole Torah, if there is such a thing at all, the whole Torah that exists, and does not believe, it does not serve anything. He looks at it the same way a person looks at a book of history, or a book of mathematics, or a book, I don't know, about Christianity, all these nonsense. So a person needs to understand that when he reads a book of Torah, learns Torah, it's not for... it's not history. It's connecting to Hashem. And if he connects to Him, then every day he's alive, every day he's happy, every day he's good. Even when there's a flood, he knows that this flood has a meaning. Even when there's trouble, he knows that it has a meaning. When there's good, he knows where it comes from. When there's evil, he knows where it comes from. Everything has an explanation for it, and in his whole life, there is a reason for everything. He may not always understand it, but he understands where the source of everything is. That's how a person can live with meaning. If he doesn't have it, then he is considered dead. Why does he die? Because his whole life he is waiting to die. He dies a little every day. Torah.

58:00Now, when a person doesn't have much intelligence and doesn't understand things as they should, there is an example. There was a person, he was carrying a very heavy bag, carrying, carrying, carrying, and then he sees a friend of his, with a hat and a gartel. He said to him, "What are you carrying? What kind of weight? All kinds of things. Why are you carrying them? I'm going in the same direction. You go on the wheel, I'll carry you." He said, "Really? Yes, yes, we'll go on the wheel." Then he goes on the wheel, and his friend goes, goes, goes, and then he turns and he sees his friend, the one on the wheel, still standing on the wheel with his bag on his head. He says to him, "My dear friend, Relax. Relax a little. I'm pulling, don't worry. He says, no, no, no, I don't want to be a burden on you. You're already pulling me, so I said, at least the sack I'm going to carry. Do you understand? Exactly, exactly. So this is what the Holy One, blessed be He, says to us. You already believe in Me. You're already in My world. So why do you think you have to help Me?

59:21To give you a job. Why do you think you have to work 20 hours a day to do a job? What? What? What? The Holy One, blessed be He, is limited. He has no money. Not everything that He has. Why do we work like slaves in Egypt? For what? The Holy One, blessed be He, has already passed. He said, one year... Sharon will receive like this, Yaron will receive like this, Ephraim will receive like this, Yossi will receive like this. Every person will receive what he needs to receive. What are you working on until the morning? Are you blaming yourself for everything? You don't need your help, you're already on the wheel. This is especially for a person who is in the religion. A person who is in the religion, in the Torah, understands, keeps the commandments, this is more important to him than a person who is a fool. A fool has no minimal understanding of what Hashem is. But a person who does know, does know. You're already on the line. What are you eating in your bag? Do you understand? I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand.

1:00:41I can't do this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. I don't want to work like this right now. But now I buy it, I sell it. I bought a car. I bought a car, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it, I sold it. Let's go back a second to the book of Shemot. When we left the land of Egypt, we came to the Sea of Suf. Right? Now, when we came to the Sea of Suf, the angel of Egypt, called Mitsrayim, said to Hashem, "Why will you call them the sea? I know that the Egyptians worked in the wilderness." Exactly, they worked in the wilderness. So what...

1:02:01we left the land of Egypt and we came to the Sea of Suf. Right? Now, when we came to the Sea of Suf, the angel, the angel of Egypt, they called him Mitzrayim, said to Hashem, "Why will You call them to the sea? I know that the Egyptians worked in the wilderness. Exactly, they worked in the wilderness, they worked in the wilderness. So what..." So HaKadosh Baruch Hu said, “You're not right.” Because of that, when Moshe Rabbeinu, Chazal says, when Moshe Rabbeinu tried to cross the sea for the first time, it didn't work. It didn't work. So he started praying to Hashem. And Hashem says to him, “What are you shouting at Me? What are you shouting at Me? Like, I can't do it for you.” You can't. Why can't you? Because the angel is right. You have all the rights you had. It was enough to bring you here. Enough to bring you here. But to cross the sea, and to praise the Egyptians,

1:03:17You have to do something. So go up. What does it mean to go up? Do something. Take a step that will show me that you even have one more right than the Egyptians. So what happened? There were Jews or Israelis, or they weren't Jews until they came to Sinai. There were Israelis who wanted to fight the Egyptians until they died. They had no weapons, they had nothing. They said, let's fight, at least let's fight. There were Israelites who wanted to return to Egypt without being killed again. So now everyone is in a bad situation. But from the Jewish tribe, there was Nachshon ben Aminadav. And Nachshon ben Aminadav... He not only understood what Hashem meant in a logical way, that he saw all the wonderful things, but he believed in it. He understood, if Hashem did all these wonderful things for us, then He wouldn't bring us here to kill us. If He wanted to kill us...

1:04:39Wait, so what's the big deal? He didn't bring us to kill us. So what? He told us to go forward, to go forward. So he went forward, into the sea. And he entered into the sea. And even when the waters reached his mouth, and he began to swallow the water, in that second, the Holy One filled the sea. Why? Because when Nachshon ben Aminadav he not only understands what Hashem is, he shows Hashem that he believes in Him. So sometimes a person needs to understand. There is faith, and there is faith. There is faith that is a little bit on the lowest level, that you understand what Hashem is, does a little bit of mitzvot, doesn't want to punish us, doesn't want us to go to Gehenom, doesn't want us to go to Gan Eden, doesn't want to give us a good wife, good children, all these things. That's faith, that's faith, that's faith, that's faith, that's faith, that's faith. A kof can get used to mitzvot, a kof can get used to eating a healthy meal, if you give him that, give him the possibility, he can choose that. It's not that big a deal to be a kof. But, but to live with complete faith, like Nachshon ben Aminadav, a person must show to Hashem that he believes in Him, even if he doesn't see clearly.

1:06:02Even if he doesn't see where G-d took him, like Avraham Avinu. Avraham Avinu, I also heard this from Rabbi Nissim Yagen, this is in the Midrash. He says, Avraham Avinu, when he was thrown into the fire, into the pit with the fire, he still spoke with Hashem. He didn't speak with Hashem. He was the only one in the world. Everyone was religious. The whole world was religious. But their religion was avodah zarah. Everyone was religious. Everyone. There was no such thing as non-religious. Everyone was religious. But it was avodah zarah. Religious idol worshippers. Avraham's father. He himself was building them. His father. Not only his friends. The guys. No. Everyone was religious. Orthodox, in their religion, of avodah zarah. He was the only one who understood that HaKadosh Baruch Hu was the truth. But HaKadosh Baruch Hu didn't talk to him. He didn't say a word at all. When they threw him... But he knew that for the truth, for the truth, a person must even die for it. To die for the truth. Why? Because it's for Hashem. So they threw him into the fire,

1:07:25And Hashem spoke to him in the fire. He was with him in the fire. What did Hashem say to him? Lech lecha. In the fire. He says to him, lech lecha. Parashat Lech Lecha? It's in the fire. He says to him, lech lecha. Get out of here. You can't return them in teshuvah. All of these are already dead. You can't be in... A place where everyone is blasphemous, everyone is secular, everyone is sinful, everyone is anti-Semitic, and to deny that you can bring everyone to repentance, you yourself are not strong enough. You have faith, but you need to strengthen a little bit more. You need to listen to me, lech lecha, leave everything. Family, friends, everything. Why? We will make you a holy nation. He doesn't know where he is going. He doesn't know where he is going. But he hears the name of God in the fire. So a person, because we brought him to Avraham, needs to understand. A person needs to understand, because we brought him to Avraham, that he already had complete faith without the knowledge. So we, who have the whole Torah, have the possibility to reach the knowledge.

1:08:46It's overwhelming. We have to reach full faith. We have to. We have to work on it day and night, if possible. We have to reach full faith. Why? To be a robot? God doesn't need robots. He already has robots. God doesn't need a person who just does commandments like a robot, but for business, he's stealing from people. We have to work on faith. It's a very important thing. And that's what a person, when a person doesn't have it, So, his life is really, really hard. It's because he doesn't know the meaning of everything. He went into depression in a general way, easily. He's always out. And the person who's always out has no life. I lived this life, and I can tell you from experience, baruch Hashem, not that I'm at the level of anyone, but, baruch Hashem, I have a little faith. So, I can tell you from the change that when there were millions of dollars, every month, even if the month was bad, there was at least $150,000-$200,000. I was out all the time.

1:09:57Today, except for the miracles and wonders that Hashem sent to us, I don't have a regular job. I don't work. I work for Hashem. I work for Hashem. I return people to teshuva, and I study Torah as much as possible. That's it. I don't have a profession, like an office job or activity in the stock market or anything. What G-d sent, this is what I receive, this is what I eat, this is what I drink. Baruch Hashem, I tell you, I live a million percent, a million percent better than all these millions. Why? Because you connect to Hashem, so you reach a situation where you don't need to help Him. You do His will as your will, and He will do your will as His will. Rabbi Efraim also said to me a really beautiful statement. Bdicha, bdicha, bdicha, but there's a moral to it. He says, there was a father who was a tippler. And this father, one day, wants to replace the menorah. So he tipples on the table, a beautiful table, made of glass, but he has shoes, everything is broken, broken, because he worked all day, not exactly...

1:11:13So he shakes the whole table, and his son, who is wise, says to his father, "Father, why do you come to the table without this? Put a newspaper, put a newspaper, and go to the newspaper. Go to the newspaper." So the father says to him, "Don't worry son, I can get to the menorah even without the newspaper. Do you understand?" Can we get to the menorah without the newspaper? The father says, "Don't worry, son, I can get to the menorah without the newspaper." The father doesn't understand that it's to...

1:12:14Why? This father was a fool. A fool, he has no minim. So this is what a person needs to understand. Now, a person who is a fool will not be an apikores. A person who is an am ha'aretz will not be an apikores. Why? There is no chance in the world that what he thinks is good will be good. Here and there, It's okay, but if 90% of his life is just bad things, then he won't be a chassid, he won't be a righteous person, he won't get to a good world. And he says, and it won't be difficult to teach. Why won't it be difficult to teach? He says, a person who wants to learn must do exactly what we are doing here, asking questions. This is also one of the main things that can be learned from the weekly parashah. The Holy One says to us, I spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai. All the commandments in the Torah, I also gave him at Mount Sinai. But the Shemitah commandment is the only commandment for which I gave him the details. How to do it? Just like I gave him all the details at Mount Sinai for the Shemitah commandment, I gave him the details for all the commandments. But if I had put all the details of all the commandments...

1:13:37In the Torah, the Torah in writing, every book of the Torah was 50,000 pages. You can't push it. So what did He do? A Torah she'ba'al peh. This is proof that the Torah she'ba'al peh. So when a person, when a person understands that our entire Torah is truth, then he understands that if he wants to be a teacher, he wants to be a wise person who is learned, he has to ask questions. Because this is What separates the truth, separates the Torah, from the sheker of Christianity, or the sheker of Islam, or the sheker of all of these things, why in these sheker sects and religions, it is forbidden to ask questions. You ask what is the reason why it is written in the Torah of the Jewish people that Jacob went down to Egypt with 70 souls, But in the New Testament, in the book of the New Testament, it's written 75. Why is there a mistake here? Why is there a mistake here? No, no, believe, my son, believe. Like, believe. What do you believe? It's a mistake. What does it mean to believe? What do you have to believe here? Don't ask questions. That's what he's telling you. Believe, don't ask questions. In the Torah, not only do you have to ask questions, you have to ask questions to get to the state that you're teaching.

1:15:03and then he says, and not the captain teaches. If a person is a kapdan, he has no patience, he is not allowed to be a teacher. He is not allowed. There are many problems today in yeshivot that many children, there are even places that I heard in Israel from a student, he says there are places in Israel that have yeshivot that 80% of the young people After that, in some situations, we fall from the path, chalilah. I tell myself, how can it be that a person who learns Torah becomes not only secular, but the most evil secular person in the world, secular with Torah and kofar in any case. To return a person to teshuvah, which was once a much more difficult endeavor than a person who is secular his whole life, and then to return him to teshuvah. So how can it be that a small child, between 16 and 18, fell from the path? One of the reasons is that many of the teachers, there are teachers who are very good, but there are teachers who should not be teachers. Why? They don't have patience. A child asks them a question, and they don't want to answer him. There are also a lot of free students: Sephardi, Ashkenazi, all these individuals who have been suffering from it for 2000 years.

1:16:32But this is the work of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, HaKadosh Baruch Hu. This is not HaKadosh Baruch Hu's work; this is the work of Am Yisrael. So where is it written in the Torah that you need to sleep with the neighbors or the Sephardim? Where is it written? I didn't see it. I'll tell you where it's written. I'll tell you where it's written. But this is the law of the Ashkenazim, they did it themselves. But this is the law of the Ashkenazim, why are you telling me? Why are you telling me this is the law of the Ashkenazim? Why are you telling me this is the law of the Ashkenazim? Because they broke it. So tell me, is this the law of those with blue eyes? Tell me, is this the law of those who are fair? No, but this is the accepted word that they understand. They don't understand that I have blue eyes. There are Sephardim with blue eyes as well.

1:18:00No, these are the laws, these are the laws of... Yes and no. Yes and no. It's not, it's not, it's not really, it's not really, it's not really, it's not a simple question, because in terms of laws, you have to understand that those who violated the law, they don't... No, these are the laws, these are the laws of... Yes and no. Yes and no. It's not, it's not really, it's not really, it's not really, it's not a simple question, because in terms of laws, you have to understand that those who violated the law, they don't... Okay, but these are customs and traditions that they themselves committed to Ashkenaz. It's okay. They are much more generous than the Sephardim in terms of things. And there are Sephardim who are much more generous than the Ashkenazim. It's not important. It's okay. You can say... The blessing of food is also different, and things in the Haggadah are different, and this is different, and this is different. It's okay. But it doesn't mean... Okay, but these are customs and traditions that they themselves committed to Ashkenaz. It's okay. They are much more generous than the Sephardim in terms of things. And there are Sephardim who are much more generous than the Ashkenazim. It's not important. It's okay. You can say... The blessing of food is also different, and things in the Haggadah are different, and this is different, and this is different. It's okay. But it doesn't mean...

1:19:15No, like a meal in the Haggadah. A meal is the only thing that is different in the Haggadah. And also songs. Songs in the Haggadah of the old people are a bit different from the Sephardim. But no, the reading itself of the Haggadah is the same thing. But it doesn't mean that because of the Temani and the Marokai or to the Tripolitai, or to the Ashkenaz. It doesn't say that you have to vote for one or the other. It's for you to see for yourself. It's not, it's forbidden to vote. Okay. Okay, but the point is that this is the problem. The sin of the Gentiles is the reason why we don't have a Temple. So we can't agree that there is a sin of the Gentiles, and it's not the work of G-d. If it was the work of G-d, He wouldn't have destroyed the Temple because He made a mistake. To say that it's His work means that He made a mistake. He didn't make a mistake.

1:20:35The Messiah will come either when everyone returns to Teshuva or when the time is up. But in any case, a person must understand that Hashem gave us the Torah. When He gave us the Torah, He gave us the instructions on how to behave, how to be a person. When a person knows how to be a person, he knows that there is no such thing a Jew who also keeps the Torah and mitzvot and loves Hashem, even if he doesn't keep the Torah and mitzvot, but at least he's not a heretic or worshiping Avodah Zarah and things like that, he has to love Hashem and return him to teshuva with the help of Hashem. But simply to ban a Jew because he's from Ashkenaz and the others are from Sephardi and the others are from Yemen, all these things, it's a waste of soul. And that's one of the reasons that many children are falling from the path because many of these teachers are not worthy of being teachers. They lack patience, as the Mishnah says. A person who wants to be a teacher must have patience. Next, we'll continue, and not all the money in the bank is worth it. What does "not all the money in the bank is worth it" mean? If a person wants to always be wise, he can't get involved in his business, in his money all the time. He can't work 20 hours a day.

1:21:57If you want to be a wise student, it's clear that every Jew has to spend time reading the Torah every day, whether he wants to be wise or not. The work of a person, he chooses. But in any case, a person has 24 hours. The Rambam, the Rambam says, he writes in his book, he says in the Talmud, he says in the Talmud, a person who works, works for work, usually, it's construction, art, not important, in any case, he is obliged to learn. If he works 9 hours a day, then he learns 9 hours a day. This is a person who works; he learns 9 hours a day. The avreichim today learn a little more than 9 hours a day. You understand? So it's like we've lost a lot in the last 800-900 years. But in any case, a person needs to understand that if he wants to be a Talmid Chacham, if he wants to be something special, he can't deal with his work all the time. He has to adhere to the Torah in any case, whether he works or doesn't work. But if he wants to reach a high level of Torah and to connect

1:23:21in a fixed and special way, he must understand that most of his work must be in the Torah. And the last thing, this is the thing that answers the question you asked, like, really, what can we do with these people? The issue of kiruv, the issue of helping people. Baruch Hashem, we did a series, me and Rabbi Ephraim Kachlon, we did a series in Israel of five lessons on how And why? It's a privilege. Why is it a privilege for every Jew to do some kind of zikui rabim? It's really worth looking at this lesson. It's a series of five lessons, from half an hour to an hour each, relatively short. They really talk about wisdom, relevant things, proofs, and so on. I sent it to you, with the help of Hashem, without a doubt. After the lesson, I sent it to you in the text. But really, everyone should see this lesson because... Yes, I noticed today, finally. So, Baruch Hashem, I'll add you to one of our groups. We have maybe 10 groups on WhatsApp, sending things, so I'll add you to one of the sheketim, so you can...

1:24:44They send maybe three things a day—short lessons, things like that. If you have a five-minute break, you can see something. If there is no break, you won't see it, but a few things—words of wisdom—that you can learn every day. But now, one of the questions that a lot of people ask is: what if I came from a secular home? Or what if I came from a place where there aren't many religious people? So this Mishnah is... Part 2, Mishnah 6, Mishnah Avot. Onkelos, at the end of the Mishnah, says, "And instead of having no people, try to be a man." What does that mean, "instead of having no people"? It says, if there are no people who behave like human beings, as the Torah says, There are no people; most of them don't do what is necessary. You yourself will try to be the man, you will try to be the leader. You will be the Moshe Rabbeinu of the community, you will be the Moshe Rabbeinu of the family, you will be the Moshe Rabbeinu of the neighborhood. You will try to be a man. Why? They are your brothers, they are your sisters, you have to save them. But this is when there is an opportunity, but not if they kill you once and for all.

1:26:03Now a person needs to understand, in the world there is a lot of nonsense, a lot of nonsense, a lot of things that are really... So there are a lot of people who go to the beit knesset, not because they love Hashem, or even believe, or even guard. They go because it's the guys, it's a club. So what happens in places like that? They hear the chazan, This is the one who has the most beautiful voice, not the one who is the most righteous. If a person sees what the Gemara says about the chazan, we need to understand that the chazan of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, Rebbe, says that a person who is a chazan needs to be the most righteous of all. Why? he's the leader, he prays, he's the leader, he prays to Hashem. So it's like, if a person understands this, understands the role of the chazzan, he needs to understand that a person who prays with a broken heart and prays to Hashem, the Holy One receives his prayer for the whole public. But if this person is a heretic, he does things that are against the Torah, he reveals himself with a knife, not only is it forbidden to him, not only is it forbidden to him,

1:27:21to be a chazzan. He is not considered part of the minyan. And not only that, the Gemara says, they know that he is doing this. They know that, let's say, if he is a Kohen, they will ban him. Or let's say that he is... and they ban him. So, of course, they ban him. The Kohen was banned last week. Or if a person is celebrating Shabbat, going to the Knesset, smoking a cigarette, things like that. Or this person is doing all kinds of things that are against the Torah. This person is not doing the will of Hashem. And yet they choose him to be a chazzan because he has a beautiful voice. So the Gemara says, It seems to me in the Gemara, in Sotah, it seems to me. The Gemara says, there is no man in the world that G-d hates more than him, this chazzan. And not only that, He condemns him and his community. Maybe because they call him chazzan, chazzan.

1:28:38What? No, but let's hear that there will be a part of the community; there won't be a chazzan. Not only that, you have to understand, G-d says it. It's not only that G-d calls him; He calls the whole community because of him. Because they didn't give him honor. You can't give honor to a person who goes against G-d. If you want to return him in repentance, you have to return him in repentance slowly, like a member of the community. Even if he is not considered a member of the community, you can let him enter the community, talk, eat, say Torah, and slowly return him in repentance. But you can't make the person a president when he doesn't even know the budget. It's impossible. A person who doesn't know how to speak at all, doesn't know, he really, like, he learned his whole life with the cops. The cops don't know how to speak. And then they bring this cop and tell him, you're going to be president. They can't. Why? Oh, they want to help him. Okay, fine, you'll help him. He'll go to kindergarten, first of all. And then he'll go to grade A, grade B, grade C, and so on, and so on. And then, maybe, in 20 years, he can be president. He can be president. But now, as long as he behaves like a cop, he can't be president. As long as he doesn't keep Shabbat, as long as he doesn't expose himself as he should, he can't be president. He can't be a chazzan. That's it.

1:30:05No, they don't just say, instead of not listening, come and listen. The parashat hashavua tells us how many times, I think five times in the parasha, what we have already learned several times, when He speaks about the mitzvah of the Shemittah, the mitzvah of how to behave regarding the sales of land, or sales of slaves, and so on and so forth. Every time he mentions the same thing. What does he say at the end of this mitzvah? He says, "And you will be seen by your God, for I am the Lord your God." You are obliged, not it's good, you are obliged to fear Hashem. you have to have fear of Heaven. And he mentions this not once, not twice, but at least five times in this portion, that a person must fear Hashem. Why? Because, as we said before, if a person has a connection between him and Hashem that is only love, it is not a true connection. It is only fear, but not love.

1:31:27But if you say that I only have love for Hashem, but I'm not afraid, Chazal say it's not a connection at all. There's nothing like that. Yes, there is only love for Hashem without fear. It has nothing to do at all. Why? Because there is no such thing. There is no such thing as loving something that you don't know what it is. And if you know what Hashem is, like the feeling of feeling that you can know what Hashem is at all, it is clear that you will fear. If you understand that Hashem is responsible for everything, for the development, for the health, for the life, for the death, for the healing, on the gravity, on the cells in your body, on everything. After everything, He controls everything. Every atom and atom moves only because HaKadosh Baruch Hu thinks about it. If a person understands this, of course, he will be afraid. What does that mean? What if HaKadosh Baruch Hu doesn't care? He doesn't care that I will live until I'm 120? He doesn't come to me. A person needs to be afraid. That's why he reminds, the yirat Shamayim (fear of Heaven),

1:32:50How many times in this parashah? And not even once? Yes. And this can also be seen in the prayer. In the prayer, in the Mincha, David HaMelech says, it's Tehillim 25, Tehillim Chafhei, he says, "Who is the man who fears Hashem? He will instruct him in the way he should choose." What does that mean? Who is the person who has yirat Shamayim? The person who has yirat Shamayim is the person who will walk in the way of Hashem. Without yirat Shamayim, there is no chance that he will walk in the way of Hashem. Why? Because there is no reason. Without a little fear of Hashem. Fear, even on the lowest level. Fear of punishment. Fear of punishment. then it's impossible to do the will of Hashem. Why? A person will see as a tzaddik, once in the Knesset, with the tallit, especially in Shacharit, everyone wears a tallit on their head, or on Shabbat, the greatest kofer in the world, who went to the Knesset on Shabbat, looks like the gadol hador, with his tallit. Because sometimes they have... they have...

1:34:17Moshe mefoar, v'chule. Oh, shnia, shnia. Ani tzarih lehachlif Moshe. So in Adam, you have to understand. So let's finish, let's finish this last thing. So I'm telling you, I'm telling you that... A person who, like, has nothing without anger, he has nothing. It's like, every person in the world can say that he is religious, he can have anger as religious, but how do we know when a person has anger? How does he behave? How does he behave in business? So, because of that, in the same Tehillim, which we call in Bentching, after that he says, the secret of Hashem is anger.

1:35:32What does that mean? If you have already reached the state of Yirat Shamayim, even at the lowest level, that you are only afraid of punishment, in the meantime you can reach the highest level of Yirat Shamayim, which is what? It's fear, not fear of punishment, but fear of causing damage to the relationship between you and Hashem. And if you have reached this level of fear that you are only afraid of, that there will be a problem in the relationship between you and Hashem, then HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, my secrets will be given to you. The secret of Hashem to the yarei shamayim, to those who have yirat Shamayim. So a person who wants to get to the point that he is a scholar, that he is wise, that he is a tzaddik, that he is everything, starts with yirat Shamayim, and we learned this from the Mishnah, from the Tehillim, and also from the Shavuah Parashat, Baruch Hashem. Thank you very much. With G-d's help, it will be a pleasure. I'm coming to New York in the near future. We'll talk next week anyway. And maybe we can organize a meeting with this guy, this poor guy. Maybe you can bring him to the shiur. Or I'll send you a text with the shiur we did in Israel with the personal story. And maybe we can even organize a shiur somewhere.

1:36:58So, I'll give you a cup of water, because... Yes, yes, b'shem Hashem. In any case, let's talk, b'shem Hashem. B'shem Hashem. B'shem Hashem. Be strong and clear, that there is a blessed Shabbat. Thank you. May Hashem bless you, and b'shem Hashem, you will continue to strengthen. Thank you for everything. Shabbat Shalom. Shabbat Shalom. Good life. Thank you very much, and I will strengthen you. I will support you. Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem. All the best. Baruch Adonai le'olam. Amen ve'amen.
