שיחת חיזוק (13) בטלפון (מלחמת קירוב רחוקים) בתכנית TorahMates

0:02Yes, next week we will come to you; we will come to New York. Yes, yes. Yes, there are lectures, Baruch Hashem. There is a lot of activity. We have already started our organization, which is Be'ezratHashem.org. This is the website. And also, Baruch Hashem, we are now in the process of publishing the discs, our first discs. So the first disc will be released, Be'ezrat Hashem, next week, while we are doing the lectures. Be'ezrat Hashem, we will share them. And the disc... Queens, Queens. I don't think I had anything in Queens. I think it was all in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and New Jersey. Staten Island is the worst, right? There are all kinds. There are tzaddikim, there are less. Baruch Hashem, there are a lot of people in Baruch Hashem. Oh, the worst things in Staten Island, right?

1:14My parents, yes. My parents, yes. Now... So... Thank God, there's a lot of activity. Now, the discs, we're doing the first distribution. This is collected, with the help of G-d, we are trying to distribute to people who are watching the lectures, $25,000 for 25,000 discs. Each disc is a dollar, and it, thank G-d, can save a person's soul. Each disc contains 30 hours of Torah, including both long and short lectures. What? It's not a disc for 30 hours? It's not? What kind of disc is it? MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3, MP3

2:21Yes, with your relatively new car, like in the last 6-7 years, so yes. If it's an old car of like 15-20 years, then no. The CD that was there wasn't MP3. But the ones in recent years, yes, they all have MP3. And most of the guys now who make and distribute discs, most of them do it in MP3 because it's just a lot more space. Instead of distributing just a few hours, 3, 4, 5 hours of lessons, you can do P6, P7 more. So, a lot of material, and thank God they do it. It will be interesting: also the personal story, also the lectures, also the moral, also long lessons, also short lessons, and thank God, little by little, people are participating. Anyone who wants to participate in the matter of zikkui harabim—it's relatively rare to do a mitzvah that can save someone's soul because, as we learned, it's a person.

3:27If he wants to get to a higher level... How? How? What is the investment? Why is it going up? Every disk is a dollar. So how many people... I'm trying to collect $25,000. In the process right now, which we've already collected. We've already collected, thank God, some money. And we're continuing to collect. But everyone is contributing what he wants. There are people who are contributing $100. Write to him. Write to him. $500. $500. With the help of Hashem. With the help of Hashem. I'll send you the link. Be healthy. I'll send you the link so you can press the... You can send it directly through the internet. I'll give you the $500 in return. All right, tzaddik. Thank you very much. May you be healthy. All right, I'll give you the $500 in return. All right, may you be healthy. Strong and clear. In return... So let's learn something about it. What is it really, Zikui HaRabim, just so we know? I'll give you, or I'll send you, I'll send you a message, or I'll send you a message, you know, how it works. The money. The money, you can, as I said, you can do it through the internet, you can do it through a credit card. Or if you want to give me orders, I'll send it to the bank, whatever suits you.

4:51Okay, let's learn and deal with this later. You take my word, I take your word, it's more important. So let's learn a bit of Torah with the help of Hashem. I really want to go to Kevod HaTorah. I know that in the world to come I will say, hey, it's a good thing, it's gone, but with the help of Hashem, let's go to Kevod HaTorah. With the help of Hashem, with the help of Hashem. So let's listen to something, there's a story in Masechet Kiddushin, Gemara Masechet Kiddushin, there's a few scary stories, really, something scary. So, it says, Rabbi Akiva, one day, he sees a very beautiful woman, something not normal, not like a beautiful woman in our world, something not normal. And his wife really, like, hugged him, and he started walking her way. He started walking and walking towards her. Then this woman turned back and revealed herself to be Satan. Satan said to her, "You're lucky that in heaven they say and shout, 'Be careful of Rabbi Akiva. His Torah is very important.'"

6:19And exactly the same story happened to Rabbi Meir Baal Haness. And what does Satan say to the two of them? He says, you have the luck to... Yes, exactly. And the same experiment, both of them almost fell. Both of them almost fell. Satan himself took all his strength just to try them, but to bring them to a state that will teach us something today. What? So he says, you have luck. that your Torah is so important, that they say this thing in heaven, because if not, I would strangle you both. For the transfer that you wanted to do. Just because you wanted to do this thing. So, what do we learn from this? Now, we, simple people, unfortunately, we all have a yetzer hara. And unfortunately, we don't always talk about yetzer hara.

7:22So why doesn't G-d send us a message that the yetzer hara really shows us that he really does this and stops us before we make a mistake? If we really knew that it's really like that, that it's one and only, then Aharon would also be... Yes, but now you have many people in the world who are also good. There are people who are not so good. But in history, you can see that there are people who were good people, who study Torah, who are righteous, and so on. But they fell into a situation and... HaKadosh Baruch Hu didn't see them exactly in the same way as He saw Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Akiva. The Satan himself tried them. But before he let them go through this transition, he said to them, "No, you are lucky." He returned to himself, "You are lucky because if not, I would have killed you." So why? What's the difference? What's the difference between us and Rabbi Akiva? Except that it's clear, heaven and earth are between us and Rabbi Akiva or Rabbi Meir. But in a spiritual way, how can you understand that?

8:42Now, there is a person who works hard, like we learn from the weekly portion, that in the name of Hashem we will do and succeed this lesson. In the name of Hashem, there will be a complete healing for David ben Esria, Doris bat Zhora, Oshri ben Doris, and Chaya bat Lea. So, if there will be a complete recovery, it will be a complete recovery for the entire Jewish people. Amen. So now, the weekly portion begins with the portion of my laws. It says, if my laws will go, and my commandments will be kept, and you will do them. This is the first verse of the Torah. So, the Holy Zohar explains, it has 42 versions for this verse. 42 versions, which I will tell you again, the story is amazing about it. Exactly on this verse. But he explains, and there is also a Chazal explaining, that if in my laws you will go, it really means, the Holy One means to tell us, in my laws you will go, it is to be a worker in the Torah. To be a worker in the Torah. This is the purpose of life. You came to the world to be a worker in the Torah. Now, there are many who were workers in the Torah, who learned the Torah,

10:02Exactly on this verse. But he explains, and there is also a Chazal explaining, that if in my laws you will go, it really means, the Holy One means to tell us, in my laws you will go, it is to be a worker in the Torah. To be a worker in the Torah. This is the purpose of life. You came to the world to be a worker in the Torah. Now, there are many who were workers in the Torah, who learned the Torah, but they didn't fully internalize it. There is a person who is trying to do what he came to the world to do, to learn Torah, as Mishnah says in Avot. You don't need to be offended by the Torah you learned, because that's why you came to the world. But he is trying, but sometimes he falls into a state of depression, he has a little bit of pride, he has a little too much love, if it's money, if it's all sorts of things. He falls, he doesn't have a nest like Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Akiva. There is a person who is trying to do what he came to the world to do, to learn Torah, as Mishnah says in Avot. You don't need to be offended by the Torah you learned, because that's why you came to the world. But he is trying, but sometimes he falls into a state of depression, he has a little bit of pride, he has a little too much love, be it money, or all sorts of things. He falls, he doesn't have a nes like Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Akiva. So why did God do this for them specifically? We learn this from Mishnah 5, Mishnah 21. It says,

11:16All those who honor the rabbis have no sin on their hands, and all those who deceive the rabbis have not enough in their hands to make a response. This is the first part of this Mishnah. So the first part is that all those who honor the rabbis have no sin on their hands. What does that mean? A person who honors the rabbis has no sins? He doesn't do sins? He has tests. He has tests. But Hashem gives him a certain right, and really, a deal. He has a certain business, and it's special, with Hashem, that He won't give him these big tests. There's a small test, all kinds of small things, and even things that he can pass 100%, no problem, He'll send them to him. But, there are things that, like, a normal person has, He says, I won't give them to you. Why? Because you're worried to my children, to my daughters, to take them away, to bring them back to me. You have a different deal than everyone else. You have protection. You have protection. So...

12:32100%, 100%. But if a person goes in a general way, in a general way, every person has a bad nature. And as much as a person learns more Torah and grows more in Torah, the bad nature also grows. The tree itself also grows with it. Because of this, sometimes you see a ba'al teshuvah, and it's hard for him to pray. Prayer, what does it take? Five minutes to pray? What's the big deal to pray? But no, his yetzer hara does not allow him to pray. But a person who has been keeping the mitzvot for many years, five, ten, twenty, thirty years, he doesn't have this habit of praying. He's already used to it. He's already used to praying. He has another habit. Whether it's a habit of money, a habit of women, there's no end to a habit. But in any case, his habit will change. As he grew up, so did his grandfather. But the grandfather of the little guy who just returned to teshuva, he came to him with small things. Why? Because to come to him with small things, he does it alone. Yes, he doesn't do these things alone, he doesn't need a grandfather.

13:46He's still new in the religion; he hasn't come close to Hashem yet, to the point that he knows he needs to guard his eyes and keep his mouth—his words. He's not at that level yet. So there's no need to get involved and invest in this thing. But in the small things, he comes to. The big things, he doesn't come to these things, because he's already used to the fact that every word a person speaks, if it's not Torah words, really takes away from his lifetime. HaKadosh Baruch Hu told us that we came to this world with a limit of words. There is a maximum. Every person has a maximum of words that he can speak in this world, except for the words of Torah. The words of Torah he can speak as much as he wants. But if it's nonsense, if it's just things, then he really shortens his life, believe me. So, in any case, if a person understands these things, understands that he has a limit of words, then he won't talk a lot of nonsense. He'll talk about the words of Torah. He'll talk about things that have at least, even if it's not the words of Torah, he won't just blabber, blabber, blabber about all kinds of nonsense, talk about politics, who will be president, who won't be president, what do you think about the financial situation, what do you think about this situation, all kinds of nonsense that people blabber about in their lives when they do it, they think that their opinion...

15:10Yes, it's just nonsense. Every person thinks that his opinion is the most important opinion in the world, but it's just nonsense. So when a person understands this, understands that he really shortens his life, then he won't waste words. But now, there are things that... What is this anger? It's a bit annoying. What kind of anger? The anger, it's a bit like that. So now, a person who grew up in the Torah, he must understand that his yetzer hara also grew, so he will come to it in great things. He would not come to him in a prayer room, he would not come to him to go to a mincha or an arvit, he would come to him in a big boom, something very big. Now, if he stands in the test several times, three times as Chazal told us, if he stands in the test three times, Hashem will not hold the test for another time.

16:31He doesn't pass the same test again. If he passes the test three times, they don't return it to him. He has already passed a level. But in any case, now the test will come again. So what now? How is it related to us? He says, in this Mishnah, if a person honors the rabbis, there is no sin on his part. ...then the tests of the elders will come to the person, but not like a person who does not honor the rabbis. In a different way. Why? Because the Holy One, blessed be He, protects him. No, not enough. Only if the person himself really works, works on himself, to fall. Like, unfortunately, it happens in the world, a few people who honor the rabbis, and then they fall into all kinds of stupidities... But you can't judge a person until you're in his state. You don't know what size his creation is. You don't know if we're going to stand by this test. So now a person needs to understand that if you're in the zekhut harabim, you already have a special business with G-d. Now, if a person, he himself, doesn't have to be a pastor. He can give his time, his money, all kinds of things. Now, if a person understands for what to do things, except for it to protect us,

17:53so that we won't have such a big test, bigger than ours. But one more thing: if a person now takes a disk, hears the disk, the words enter the heart, they came out of the heart, so they enter the heart. He tells himself, you know what? I will start to keep Shabbat. He will already start to repent. Every mitzvah that this person does every day of his life, and every mitzvah that he influences on himself, they also come to the account of the person who brought the disk in dollars. So when a person understands these things, and also believes in them, to understand, it's not so hard to understand, even a child can understand, but to believe in these things, then the person will make his investments in the greatest way in the world, in many ways, because he knows that he is making a profit both in this world and in the next world.

18:53So this is really the issue. That's why Rabbi Mizrahi, Rabbi Alon Anava, Rabbi Zamir Cohen, Rabbi Yaron Reuven, and all the great rabbis who promote repentance, they invest everything, all their souls. They invest in this, not only so that it is clear that this is the will of Hashem, but it is the best investment in the world. You know that you are making a profit in this world and in the next world, in any case. But unfortunately, we need a lot more people who will honor the rabbis. Why? Because today, in our generation, in the last generation before the Mashiach, the Holy One, blessed be He, said, in His Kedusha, that the last generation will be worse than the generation of the Exodus from Egypt. The generation of the Exodus from Egypt reached forty-nine levels of impurity. The Zohar HaChaim says that the last generation will arrive at 9:50 p.m. 9:50 p.m. Their only chance is if G-d Himself will save them. He will send them the Mashiach, but it is clear that it is the hand of G-d. There is no other possibility.

20:15So our generation, we have something that unfortunately has a lot of problems, that there are people who do exactly the opposite of what the rabbis do. What do they do? They deceive the rabbis. And I'm not just talking about people who recommend their friends to go out on Shabbat and desecrate Shabbat and things like that. I'm talking about people who, just like we're doing now, are doing Torah study, to get closer to Hashem, to get closer to the purpose of life, to build a true faith. What are they doing? Exactly the opposite. They're doing lessons to convince Jews to leave the religion. complete videos, with advertisements, with a lot of money, millions of dollars, invest their time, Jewish-Israeli, not only Jewish, Jewish-Israeli, they do it, there are videos on the internet, with their names and memories, they really do lessons, just to, really, to take people down from the religion. Hi, I have a question.

21:24Yes, so what do you need? A person who is already in the profession, like Rabbi Ephraim Kahlon, the tzaddik in Jerusalem, he makes videos against them. He has already done a few. videos against Christianity, against those who think that there are all kinds of confessions in the Torah, and they prove to them and show them that everything they say is just nonsense. Then a person who is in the profession and already knows and understands, he needs to do it. But a person who doesn't know, he is forbidden to see these things. It's really a waste of time. But that's what's happening. Now, this Mishnah is talking about them. This Mishnah says in the beginning, the one who punishes the Arabs has no sin on his hands. But all the one who punishes the Arabs doesn't have enough in his hands to do teshuvah. What does it mean, doesn't have enough in his hands to do teshuvah? Now, the Holy One already told us that He receives our teshuvah. Even if a person did a bad job, like Menashe, did a bad job, punished the Arabs, did all kinds of problems, he returned to teshuvah at the end of his life.

22:35So how can it be that it is written here that there is not enough in his hand to do teshuvah? The sages explain to us that he does not have the same siyata dishmaya to return to teshuvah. Now, as we know from experience, when a person returns to teshuvah, especially in the beginning, There is a lot of siyata dishmaya, a lot of help from Hashem. You see miracles and miracles, beautiful things, things are starting to work out, even if there are problems in the beginning. There are problems, but there is also siyata dishmaya. Now, just so you know why there are these problems, now there are many people, unfortunately, who are afraid are afraid to go back to teshuva because they say, "No, I heard, my friend, he went back to teshuva and suddenly he lost all his money, suddenly his wife caused him problems, suddenly he has problems with work, all sorts of things. And he didn't have these problems. Since he went back to teshuva, what teshuva is this? It doesn't make sense." So why really, this is really a good question that we have to answer, why really

23:49There are problems for a person who returns to Teshuva. In the beginning, there is also Siyata Dishmaya; it does not start with problems directly on the spot. But anyway, in any situation, sometimes there are, or even many times, there are many failures, many bad things, and many problems at the beginning of Teshuva. And the reason is that the person, before he returns to Teshuva, does not know in what situation he is. It's like there's a pig, a pig or a pig in the trash. The pig doesn't smell, smell, smell. It's in the trash. So it becomes part of the trash. If we, normal people, come near the trash, in a second we want to run away from there. It's disgusting. But the pig, it lives there, eats, loves, maybe even does the blessing of the food. It's fun for it. The same thing with a person who is homeless. He is poor, he has problems, but in the blink of an eye, he gets used to the dirt. He gets used to the dirt, poor man.

24:59Same thing, a person who is not close to Hashem, who is not close to the Torah, who does not keep the commandments. Why? He has no idea what kind of trash he is in. He thinks he has a good life, he has a Ferrari, he has a house, he has a wife, he has 3-4 children with a dog, he has all kinds of things, he thinks he is in the next world already. But he has no minimal understanding of what kind of situation he is in. Why? It is written on him, On it is written... There is... What? There is a beginning; there are also meanings in this, in this book. That a person who has a Ferrari, and has... what, a house, a Dolce & Gabbana, and he has it, and he has it, and he has it... Yes. But... But if you know these things, He wants to get close to the Torah, but he can't get close to it for one reason: it's hard for him to forget about this world. He grew up like that. He grew up in the desert. He grew up in the desert. He grew up in the desert. He grew up in the desert.

26:23and we're going to do the second part, and at the beginning of the year, we're going to do the second part. And it happened in such a way that he knew the truth, and he couldn't get to it, and he couldn't, because he wasn't willing to give up on the activities of this world. Yes, but there are a few other reasons other than this. So, other than the creation of the elements of this world, there is a chance that he also destroyed the rabbis. Why did he destroy the rabbis? Because he didn't have much neshamah. They don't give him the same kind of help as a person who didn't destroy the rabbis. And a person like that, who is far from Hashem, There are a lot of people who worship the rabbis. There are a lot of people who worship the rabbis today. Maybe I don't know what you're saying. Yes, because you're a tzaddik. You're a tzaddik. You're not friends with people like that. So let's tell you what's written in the Torah. Let's tell you what's written in the Torah in Adam. Wait, wait, wait. I want to know. Are there a lot of people who worship the rabbis? Yes, yes, yes. Unfortunately, there are. A lot of people?

27:27Yes, yes, there is enough. There is enough... They are invoking the world. They are doing much more than that. Yes, they are invoking Hashem. Every second that they live, it is invoking Hashem. What is it called? It is called Pesach, Moshe, it is called Haman, what is it called? It is... it is... it is... it is... it is... it is... it is... it is... Minim, the Gemara b'Masechet Rosh Hashanah daf yud zayin. It says, the people, the people, these people, the minim, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people, these people,

28:30They will suffer in Gehenom forever. Forever. Even after they are all cleansed and so on and so forth. Like, Hashem cleanses those that can be cleansed. But those who really worship Hashem, who are very strict and do the biggest sins in Judaism, then their Gehenom will never end. Never. Forever. A million years is just the beginning. So, a lot of people are always asking, where is it written, where is it written that there is such a thing as suffering for the world, as the Rabbi says, a person does this, or they send him to Gehenom, where is it written, these things? A person will pray once in his life, exactly what you said, the believers and the disciples will not have hope for them. It's in prayer, in standing. That's it. That's what I'm telling you. These people, they have no hope. There are other people who do things like this. And Chilul Shabbat, Eshet Ish, and so on. There are a few things. There's a book. Chilul Shabbat is written in Chilul Shabbat. Chilul Shabbat is the most... What? There is a written Chilul Shabbat. Once there was a sacrifice. Today there is teshuvah. There is a standing in Chilul Shabbat, right?

29:53No, no, if the person is alive, if the person is alive, yes, he does teshuvah, then they turn the whole, really, he does teshuvah quickly, so, like, he didn't pass the Shabbat in the same way, like, it turns from mezid to shogeg, but if he, in the course of time, turns teshuvah to teshuvah from the past, he can even... to turn all the Shabbatot that he didn't keep into Shabbatot that he did keep. But that's another thing that can be... If a person doesn't reach ahavah, how can he fill all the Shabbatot that he didn't keep? He's 30 years old. He didn't keep Shabbat for 17 years. From the age of 13 until the age of 30, he didn't keep one Shabbat. Now in the beginning, now he came to heaven, after 120 years, they say to him, yes, Baruch Hashem, you kept Shabbat for 90 years, but there are 17 years that are missing. What do we have to do? Even if you returned to teshuvah, but you didn't reach the highest level of teshuvah, what do we do with the 17 years? If this person gave a few disks to a few people,

31:02And one of them, only one of them, gave 500 disks, and only one of them returned to teshuvah. One. Not all of them, not 500. One of them returned to teshuvah. Every Shabbat that this person keeps also comes to the account of the one who returned to teshuvah already. Now he has more than what he needs. Then the world rises in worlds; it's endless, the good that he has, when he helps a person return to teshuvah. So that's how a person can make up for Shabbat that he didn't keep. But if a person, bar minan, died from the world without returning to the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, he died from the matter of Shabbat, Is there a Ge'enom book? Yes, there is a book called Reishit Chochma. But it says that you don't have to study it too much. That's how it is, isn't it? No, really, I don't know who said it, but really, in the matter of our weekly portion, the Bechukotai portion, this portion and also the Ki Tavo portion, many people are afraid of them because they have curses in them.

32:30But why do we have all these rules? Why do we have them? This is for... No, we need to go deep. Why did Hashem put them in the Torah? Why did He put half of the Torah on scary things? Punishment, transgressions, rules. Half of the Torah. It's not two parts. Half of the Torah. Why? I don't know. I don't understand it. I know Chabad doesn't understand this, but you need to learn this, you have to learn this, and until a few generations ago, this was the main thing of the Torah. Before 300-400 years, everyone was taught Two things: the Garden of Eden and Gehenom. You do this, you go to the Garden of Eden. You do this, you go to Gehenom. That's it. Today, unfortunately, everyone thinks they are going to the Garden of Eden. That's why they say in prayer that all of Israel has a part in the next world. But they don't read the Sha'ar HaMishnah. They don't read the Sha'ar HaMishnah, which is written, and they don't have a part in the next world. And they tell you all the mistakes that a person makes, he loses his next world, Bar Minan.

33:41But now, this person who doesn't know he's in the trash, doesn't know. It is written on it at the end of parashat Va'etchanan, also a very scary thing. Like me, like me, I am in the trash, I am in the trash. No, no, you are a tzaddik, you are keeping the mitzvot, Baruch Hashem, and you are strengthening. You are keeping the Shabbat, you are keeping the mitzvot, you are keeping the kashrut, you are keeping the basics. No, but I am working in the trash, I am working here, I am working here. Oh, no, no, yes, but you are the trash here. I am telling you, the trash that a person in the trash, in the matter of... Ruchani, ruchani. So now, it's written at the end of the parashat Va'etchanan, Veyadata ki Hashem Elokecha, hu ha'Elokim, ha'El ne'eman. Now we're already learning that HaKadosh Baruch Hu doesn't joke. Why? He says, I, ha'El, am ne'eman. What I'm saying, that's it, it doesn't change, it doesn't change my opinion. Like, now in this generation, it's allowed for them. Next generation, it's forbidden for them. This generation, it's allowed, there's nothing like that. What's written, forever. It doesn't change my thinking. I'm ha'El Ne'eman. We continue on. Keep the covenant. What's important to Hashem? The covenant. The covenant that He said to Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, and the people of Israel, when did He give us the Torah?

35:00And the chesed of His love is to keep His commandments for a thousand generations. What do I give to those who love Me? Who are those who love Me? Who are those who love Me? He tells you, keep My commandments. Those who keep the commandments, I know that they love Me. But maybe they love Me because I love them. It doesn't matter. He already shows that you love Hashem. And a person who loves Hashem and keeps His commandments, he tells you, only the beginning of their payment, the chesed that He gives them, 1,000 generations. The beginning. 1,000 generations. 1,000 generations. Obviously, it's more than life. It's more than our life here. This is already proof that God is serious. Even if a person is thought to love Hashem, he has to keep the commandments. That's what God Himself says. And the third thing, this is proof of the next world. The Torah continues with the verse. He pays for his hatred. Who is his hatred? The opposite of his love.

36:10So if his beloved keeps his commandments, then his beloved does not keep his commandments. This is already clear. A 7-year-old can understand this. He pays his beloved in front of him, as if he gives him cash to his face, gives him the money he earned now, in front of him, to his beloved. There will be no one else to hate him, but the One who will pay him. What does He say? I will give him all the compensation for the few mitzvot that he did. He did a bar mitzvah, a prayer—I will pay him for that. I will give him a building. He did a blessing in an accident. Maybe he did a kiddush at the age of 18 in a shul. I will pay him for that. I will give him a child. He did some hard work a few times. He paid all his debt here. Why? To kill him. What does it mean to kill him? To destroy him. To kill him. He doesn't want to see after this life, after bar minan, the person ends his life here, he doesn't want to see him. He has no part in the next life. He doesn't want to see him, to think about him, nothing. Very difficult things. This is the parashat Va'etchanan. So why do we say this? Why do we say this? Because he tells us here,

37:24A person who seems to have everything, who seems to have money, a wife, children, a company, millions, and all these things, and he doesn't keep the commandments of Hashem, he doesn't keep them. If he keeps them, Baruch Hashem, he will receive a reward in this world and a reward in the next world. It could be that he has the right to have them. But if a person is ungrateful to Hashem, doesn't keep the commandments, doesn't keep the Shabbat, doesn't keep the Kashrut, doesn't keep the Taharat HaMishpacha, and makes mistakes, every step he takes is a mistake. He has no idea in what situation he is in. Why? He is in this verse, poor man. He is in this verse, he receives all his reward here. If he had known, if he had known that he was in this situation, he would have answered back on the spot. But he doesn't know. And when a person doesn't know that he's in the trash, he doesn't smell and doesn't understand that it's trash. Like the toilet and the sink don't understand that it's trash. They think that it's a restaurant. Five-star. You understand? They think that it's a five-star restaurant. They don't know that it's trash.

38:38This poor person who receives everything here, he has no problem. And these people can repent. And even if a person makes mistakes but eventually reveals the truth, they can repent and there will be a lot of bloodshed. But if he will waste a lot of time on the shaylos of the rabbis, So here it is written that the rabbis don't have enough hands to answer. They tell us here that the Siyata Dishmaya will not be accepted. It is almost impossible, almost impossible, not impossible, almost impossible for a person who is a rabbi to answer. And the Rambam says, Rambam writes, this is the worst punishment in the world. In this world, a person gets a punishment; the worst punishment of all is to be considered as one of the many who have no more knowledge of the Torah. So, a person needs to understand. But now, in the parashat of Bechukotai, G-d says to you, Bechukotai is to be an ameil in the Torah. But why to be an ameil in the Torah? And to keep your commandments. For the sake of Shamayim, what to do?

39:58To know that you have to keep the commandments. But after that, He says, and you did them. Not only will you keep the commandments, you will go with the commandments all the time. That all the time, you will be religious. Not in the religious home, in the religious work, but when I am free, I am not religious. Or like in bar minan, there are women in the house, in the street, okay, but when they go to a wedding, a wedding, no. It wants to be like everyone else. That's why it's written, if you follow my laws, you will be with Me. If you follow my laws, you will be with Me. If you follow my laws, you will be with Me. Yes, exactly. So now, Chaim's lifespan was 42 episodes. I heard... Okay, let's end with a strong story. Yes, yes, yes. I want the shiur to end with me. I called him... What's his name? I called him in such a story.

41:16I told you you're a tzadik. I told you you're a tzadik. I told you, you were right. Go home. Go home. It's 4 o'clock. I'm at home. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Children, Torah, Mitzvot. You're also now a rabbi, may God bless you. But it's not wisdom. The rabbi of Yair Peri, Yair Peri, said to me, he said to me, he said to me, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, what? I'm at home. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Children, Torah, mitzvot. You're also now a rabbi, may God bless you. But it's not wisdom. The rabbi, the rabbi of Yair Peri, Yair Peri, said to me, he said to me, he said to me, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, you're going to be a rabbi, what?

42:18Listen, to raise children, to raise children, in order for the child to be good, it's a matter of the neshamah. Yes, yes, it's a success. I have a friend who works with me. Yes. He has a training program. He has a training program. Then bring him to the training, with the help of Hashem. Bring him, we'll meet him. He suddenly turns me to the Holy One, Blessed be He, and I can't... If it was allowed, you would say to kill him already, but it's forbidden. No, but I know for a fact that he has a bad brain. Yes, if he has a bad brain, you need to distance yourself from him. It's dangerous. No, but I'm trying.

43:29Oh, he sent him to the Knesset, yes. In her life, she didn't do such a thing. How can she talk about her parents like that? B'Shem Hashem. B'Shem Hashem. B'Shem Hashem. B'Shem Hashem. B'Shem Hashem. B'Shem Hashem. I know, I know very tough people. He's not a pervert. He also studied at Kehal. He used to play in the Philharmonic here in America. He's not... He looks like a guy who's a good kid, but... I don't open my mouth. I don't know... I put him in the middle of the door. I don't know how to talk to him.

44:42I know, I know very tough people. He's not a pervert. He also studied at Kehal. He used to play in the Philharmonic here in America. He's not... He looks like a guy who's a good kid, but... I don't open my mouth. I don't know... I put him in the middle of the door. I don't know how to talk to him. Between an Israeli woman and an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel, and they went to an Israeli camp. There was a dispute. He wanted, because his father was Egyptian, and his mother was from Israel, so he wanted to be with Shevet Dan, because his mother was from Shevet Dan, and they didn't accept him. They said, no, the Shevet comes from the father, not from the mother, so they don't accept him. So he went to the court, between an Israeli woman and an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel. They went to an Israeli camp. There was a dispute because he wanted, since his father was Egyptian and his mother was from Israel, to be with Shevet Dan, because his mother was from Shevet Dan, but they didn't accept him. They said, no, the shevet comes from the father, not from the mother, so they didn't accept him. So he went to the court, And Moshe Rabbeinu said, yes, Shevet Dan, you're right, you're not accepted. You don't have a shevet, you don't have a father, your father is a goy. So he called out the name of Hashem. So the people of Israel came to Moshe, and after they arrested him, they waited for, well, they said in a verse, and they went to the Sanhedrin to tell them, according to the Lord. Like they said,

45:56We'll put him in the cell. Of course, he already has a bed, but what kind of bed? So we'll put him in the cell until Hashem will speak to Moshe and tell them the things. And then it says, "ragom yirgimu vo kol ha'edah, ka'ger, ka'ezrach benakvo shem yumat. Hazeh, umer lo, tarog oto, vekulam yishtatefu badavar hazeh. Kulam! Gam hager, gam hazeh shenolad Yehudi, kulam, kulam yishtatefim laharog et ha'adam hazeh, kol echad shama. Lama? Zeh adam mekalel shem Hashem," ragom yirgimu vo kol ha'edah, ka'ger, ka'ezrach benakvo shem yumat. Hazeh, umer lo, tarog oto, vekulam yishtatefu badavar hazeh. Kulam! Gam hager, gam hazeh shenolad Yehudi, kulam, kulam yishtatefim laharog et ha'adam hazeh, kol echad shama. Lama? Zeh adam mekalel shem Hashem,

46:59You can't, you can't, you can't hear things like that. You have to tell him to call whoever you want, even call his mother if he has to. Don't call the Name of Hashem, it's forbidden, it's forbidden. I'm telling him, I'm not telling him to do that, I'm telling him to listen. I'm telling him, I'm asking you a favor, a favor, a favor, you can ask me a favor. Yes, I know that it's written... Baruch Hashem, no. Baruch Hashem, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

48:17In a nice way, everything is nice and all that, but sometimes, sometimes, you need to be quiet. Sometimes, you need to be quiet. Whenever there's something like that, sometimes you need to be quiet. So the holy man wants you to know that you need to be a little more quiet. but they didn't let him work. They didn't let him work. You haven't tried yet, how do you know? Are you a prophet? I'm not a prophet. Are you a prophet? I don't know. Tell him, tell him, in the Torah it's written, a person who recites the name of G-d receives the worst punishment. It's written in the Torah. Yes, it's a poor person, it's a sick soul, a poor person. You have to take him to a yeshiva, to a professional person.

49:20But, listen, what I think, what's best to say, next time he calls, throw him out of the car and stop. He'll learn after that. No, no. No, no, he'll learn. He'll call you and say, no, sorry, sorry, sorry. He won't do that anymore. He wants attention. He wants attention. People who do stupid things like that want attention. Next time he calls in your car, stop the car and say, get out of my car. No, no, no, no, please, please. No, no, get out of the car. Let's get out of the car so he'll feel a little bit that his pride will return to the world, to the ground, and next to the birds, like the birds that will eat him one day. And... flight! Then wait a bit, let him relax for an hour, two hours, even a few hours. Let him think, think about what he did. And then call him and tell him, did you promise not to do this next time? If he says yes, return it. But that's it, sometimes you need silence.

50:21Sometimes we need to hide. We don't need to hide physically. We need to hide to bring down the pride of the person. And this is really, in the weekly portion, Hashem says to us, when we don't reply, every time He gives us a punishment, every time He gives us a punishment, then He gives us the ability to reply. If after five levels of punishments that He gave us, that are written in this portion, that each one is greater than the other, after five... After five, we did not return to teshuvah. After four, we did not return to teshuvah. And He started the fifth. He started the fifth already. And then we started, He says, and those who remain in you will be buried in their graves. Like, finally, finally, thank you for making this transition. And the transitions that you came from your father's house and so on. But, in any case, they will not be allowed to go straight to the place. i will not forgive them for this place. I will continue to punish them. Why? Because if you were so violent up to this point, up to this point you came, and you were so violent, you have to finish the tikkun. You have to finish the tikkun. Until the tikkun is finished, then I will accept you because of the covenant that I have between Me and Yaakov, between Yitzchak, between Avraham, and so on. Yes, the right to work. But...

51:46Yes, but this shows us that a person, if he doesn't repent in the beginning, will become worse. If he doesn't repent, he will become worse. If he doesn't repent, he will become worse until he even reaches the point where he wants to repent. The Holy One says to the prophet, "I will receive your repentance. But first of all, he will receive a great punishment." What is the great punishment on the fifth level? Bar Minan, Beit HaMikdash, it happened, it happened what is written here: "And you ate the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you will eat." Did you eat your children, bar minan? This is the punishment. How did it happen in Egypt? It happened in the Beit HaMikdash. They held the Beit HaMikdash for three years. Food didn't come out. Three years. People got angry and started eating their children. Do you understand what's going on? Why do you think we're crying at 9 in the morning? People got to a point where they had to eat their children. The Mashiach doesn't understand. The Holy One doesn't joke. He's not our friend. It's not just, "it's okay, you keep it," "it's okay, it's not okay." What, you'll keep it, you won't keep it? No. He tells you, "if by My law you'll go, and by My law you'll keep it, and you did them." He doesn't tell you, "do what you want, what comes to you, it's okay." He doesn't say that. He says, "you're the opposite."

53:12He says the opposite. What does it mean? He says, after all the wrath I brought you, you didn't come back to Me, you didn't have yirat Shamayim. What does it mean? Rashi explains it. You chose; it's casual. You kept what you wanted. It's like a sort. You keep the kippah, but it's a quarter kippah. You keep Shabbat, but it's like you're talking about work. You keep kashrut, but only at home. Tzanua, but only in the bathroom, not outside. Outside, you have to be like the goyim. Do you understand what's going on? It's like you choose what you want, you don't choose what you want. He says, you went from keri, you think I'm your friend? You're making fun of my Torah? About this, about this, not just the mistakes you made, about this in itself, this that you went from keri, this is a punishment in itself. This is a punishment in itself.

54:16Just because you are attached to my Torah, it's like a book of calculations. It's a book of history. Women need to understand. So, let's end with an amazing story I heard. I know you like stories. I prepared this story for you. I heard this story from Rabbi Ephraim. You must, you must listen to his lectures. A person who doesn't listen to the lectures of Rabbi Ephraim, he really destroys part of the next world that is in this world. I'm not kidding, he's not kidding. I'm telling you, his lessons are amazing. So he's telling a story from the life history. The life history... Yes, yes, thank God. He's a special person, thank God. So now, the life history... His Torah was published before he was. In those days, almost 300 years ago, there were no cameras, there was nothing. So the Torah that a person writes in a book can be published all over the world, it can be of any generation, but they don't know what he will look like. So he, in his ruach hakodesh, knew that there was some kind of separation for the people of Israel. He said, "I have to go to galut."

55:29In order to take upon himself the burden for the people of Israel, he went to all sorts of places. They didn't know who he was, and he wasn't old. He came to a place where they didn't know him. But there was a holy rabbi there, who was receiving secrets from heaven in his dreams, really in a holy spirit. So he came there, and everyone thinks that the Ohr HaChaim is like... Chaim ben Attar, they call him. He's like some kind of homeless person, not... Yes, no, he's some kind of homeless, poor guy, they don't know who he is. So on the fifth day at night, the rabbi is teaching Torah. The rabbi of the community says, "I had a dream. In this dream, I discovered 14 perushim." that the Rabbi lives among the holy, the righteous, the great, the God, the angel, all kinds of miracles, on the first verse of the parashat of my laws: "If my laws will be followed and my statutes will be kept, and you shall perform them," 14 interpretations. So all the activists, you know, there were the judges of the righteous, it's a big generation.

56:49So this person, who we think is homeless, says, no, no, no life, no holy life, no nothing, he lives like this, he lives like this. So everyone says, hey, why are you insulting the tzaddikim, it's a big generation, they're angry at him. The Rav excites everyone, continues to give them the explanations. The next day, Friday, the Rav, after the prayer, gives them a lesson. He tells them, I had another dream. In my dream, I was revealed 14 more versions of the same verse. Now I have 28. And this comes from the holy, the righteous, the great, the angelic, all kinds of miracles, Rabbi Chaim ben Attar. Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat

57:59One more time. One more time. He tells them, I had a dream. Now I had 14 more. Now we have 42 deductions. From the Arav, the Tzaddik, the Kadosh, this one. One more time, the Omelist said, no, no, no Tzaddik. I told you, how many times do I have to tell you? No Tzaddik, no Kadosh, in Koshi Talmid. What are you saying? The Arav, now, that's it, he reached the border. He said, that's it. They threw him in the minister's house there, which was in the early days. there was a place like this, or a Beit So'ar, next to the door of the Knesset, with someone who was serving the tzaddikim. So they would all come in and beat them before they came into the Knesset. Like a bizayon of the Rav, a bizayon of tzaddikim. He said, put him in the Beit So'ar there, and we'll treat him after Shabbat, after Shabbat. They put him in the Beit So'ar. Now, on Shabbat, he finds himself, yes. Now, he finds himself on Shabbat. Before, they want to make a difference. Suddenly, there is wind, and screams, and rage, and whispers, all kinds of things are raging in the world. Not only in the world, like in the world, something is frightening, an earthquake. Everyone starts to be afraid. And then suddenly, you hear knocks on the door.

59:27The Rav went and checked the door, opened the door, and he saw a huge shed, scary. The Rav said, "What is this? What are you doing here? What do you want? What did we do? What did we do?" He knew that everything was from Hashem. This sheid tells him, "Be ashamed of yourself." He says, "What? What did we do? What did we do?" He says to him, "I, the sheid, my responsibility is to ignite the fire of Gehinnom in the midst of Shabbat. Because those who are in Gehinnom, but have observed Shabbat, do not suffer on Shabbat. The Holy One extinguishes the fire, but it is my responsibility to ignite it back in the midst of Shabbat." But they told me in Heaven that I'm not allowed to ignite the fire of Gehinnom until the Holy Light of life makes the separation. And you put it in Beit Zohar. The Rav, the Rav was shocked. He started to cry. He went to pray to the Light of life. I didn't know, dear Rav, I didn't know.

1:00:48The rabbi ate with him and knew that this was really the length of life he wanted to live. He didn't know it would come to such a thing. And then, Baruch Hashem, Hashem went to his place and stayed there. And the Holy Law of Life was published, and these 42 editions were also published, and one of them that we learned today, Baruch Hashem, is that if you follow these laws, it is to be an ameil in the Torah. You have to try, try, try. When you are tired, and you have no strength, this is the Torah that is important. This is your Torah. This is the Torah that will bring you to the world with the help of Hashem. I know it's not easy. That's the point. That's what we learned. That's the basis of all our learning. The fact that it's not easy, that's the truth in the Torah, with God's help. So, Chazak u'Baruch. With God's help, with God's help. It's better that we learn all year. All year, every day a little bit. We said, every hour of the day at the beginning, slowly, slowly, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit. With God's help, we'll see you next week, and you'll come to the lessons, with God's help.

1:01:59In the name of God, yes, yes. In the name of God. I will be in Staten Island for weeks, in the name of God, with Rabbi Ze'ev HaKadosh in Staten Island, a very special person, and the whole Torah... What Ze'ev? Rabbi Ze'ev, what, he lives there? Rabbi Aharon Ze'ev, yes. Yes, he lives there. Is he an Ashkenazi? He? Yes. What did you say? Is he an Ashkenazi? No, a Sephardi, a Sephardi. Bavli. Bavli, Iraqi. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. He, if I'm not mistaken, he, from his close family, is also a supporter of Rabbi Kaduri, and also of the Ben Ish Chai. Ben Ish Chai is our Rabbi. Yes, yes, yes. Rabbi Kaduri. Yes, so... Serious. And he, may G-d bless him, is a very special person. His eyes... He knows all the Torah by heart. When I talk to him, I think he's a simple person.

1:03:02A man, something special. We did a few lessons in the Knesset there. In my lectures, there are numbers before the lesson. It's written, Torah lesson number 49, number 50, like number 49, 50. So number 49 and also 50 we did there. 50 is one of the most popular ones we did. We did it on Shabbat and so on. And also, in one of the lessons, we talked about it. We talked about it. So, Baruch Hashem. Yes, sometimes we have righteous people in the world, we don't know them, we don't understand. We don't understand what it is. I don't know about you. Yes. I don't know about you. This WhatsApp doesn't stop, doesn't stop, doesn't stop sending you messages. What is this? Yes, so I will send you messages on how you can receive the messages, but so that it won't make you angry every second. You can click on the... The truth is... I don't need anything. As I said, I can...

1:04:08Yes, it's a bit confusing. But that's the way. I have so many people. I have maybe 10-12 groups. And thank G-d, there are thousands of people. So there's a lot to hear. I'll show you how it wouldn't make any noise. The message will come, but you won't know. If you check yourself, you'll know. But if not, it's not... Yes, you can press mute, mute on the message. Press on the message, on the name of the group, call it "Interesting Time," press on the name of the group, and then you'll see that it says mute there. Press mute, and then it gives you options: week, month, or year. Press year, and then you'll get the notifications, but there won't be any noise. So just enter, and if you want to check, check it out.

1:05:12No, no, don't check. If it comes to you, and if it doesn't come to you, don't check anything. It's like when it comes to you to see that you have 10 minutes to study a Torah lesson, you know that there is already a place, you found it. It's already in your phone. Don't check everything. No one checks everything. I myself don't check everything. It's not like that. It's like a person has a concept in his hand, like something interesting. There are people who check one shiur a day, and there are people who check two. It's something that at least makes it easier for you to study. Easier, like, you don't have to look for what to learn. Here, in the last hour, it says you have 10 messages, notifications on WhatsApp. Oh. So it doesn't seem like it's all from us. It's only three, I think, from us. No, none of them are from WhatsApp. None of them are just you, my wife, and your Instagram. No, I don't have WhatsApp. I can see, I can see. No, press mute, press mute. What? Press mute and it will help you. I don't know. Yes, it's a bit annoying. What can I do? But there is a way to bring back... Let me tell you. What we learned is that we are in the last generation, the generation of Mashiach. But also, if we didn't get to it, we are already very close to the 50th gate of Tumah. This is the only way to bring people back in Teshuvah. Like, in great.

1:06:36It's one-to-one, it's possible. But to go back in time, through the internet, through Facebook, through WhatsApp, through technology, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave us the possibility to do it both for good and for bad. So you can, if you're a human being, overcome your desires and these things, and you can spread His teachings and things on the internet. You can bring back thousands, thousands of people in repentance in a very large way that didn't exist. There wasn't such a thing that existed 20-30 years ago. There wasn't such a thing. So now we have reached a situation that is the worst situation in the history of the people of Israel. The smallest percentage in history were people who keep the Torah and the commandments. Most of Israel doesn't keep it. So Hashem wants to save all of us. He doesn't just want to save a small part. It is the final redemption. There is no one else. So, before the final redemption, we will try to save all the people, all the children, all the soldiers, all those who have a little something but not enough. We want to save everyone. To save everyone, to go from place to place, it is not possible. We need to spread the Torah all over the world, all the time, that it will always be a concept before the person, that in the second, in the second, that he has, that he has no sorrow, that he can overcome it.

1:08:02and gives a place to the Torah, it's already given before him, and with the help of Hashem, he'll return to Teshuva. So that's why we do the diskim, the internet, all these things. And thank you that you, Mezakeh HaRabim, participate in our activity, Baruch Hashem. You can do it also through the Shrai card, I can send you a link. And then you can fill in the information, how much money you want to give, through the internet. Your wife, of course, can do it, or you can do it yourself, whatever you want. For me, it's only you, right? Yes, yes, no, it's only me. It's PayPal; it's like a credit card on the internet. I don't even know the number; it goes to the company. It's like if you go to a supermarket and you give them your credit card, it's a credit card that goes straight through the internet. I don't know what you're talking about. It's an official business. Let's say I buy something on PayPal, it's an official business. Oh, the name of the company, the name of the company, they call it Be'ezrat Hashem. Your company? Yes, my company, the organization, which is a non-profit. It's a non-profit organization. Look, they call it Be'ezrat Hashem.

1:09:18So look at your credit card. Look, with the help of Hashem. And with the help of Hashem, we'll succeed. The money doesn't come to me. It's money for discs. They invest it in discs, not money for me. And that's the main thing. We're trying to make a big change for the rabbis. With the help of Hashem, to help the holy rabbis who have been doing this for many years. The discs, yes, they are my lessons. But I buy them from a company; I don't sell the discs myself. I make the lessons, but I go to a company... You go to a company? You don't have someone to sell the discs? 25,000 discs? Yes. No, 25,000 discs, you need a company. Rabbi Yosef, there's someone who does it for you. Yes, so Rabbi Yosef Mizrahi will help me. But it costs money; it's not free. With this guy? Yes, of course. With this guy? Yes, yes, with Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, he's a tzaddik, and he helps me in every step that I take, and really, one of the lectures that we do next week, on the third day, will be with him. He invites me to a lesson. So he helps me, Baruch Hashem, and we use his services.

1:10:38I'm talking to someone who, for me, is a good person, a man of the heavens, for a long time, but... He wants to help, he wants to help, but... I'm talking to him, Rabbi Yosef, so what does he say? You call Rabbi Yosef and he says, "I don't know what to say." he doesn't say things like that to me, but if he were to tell me that he got arrested, he's a Hareidi man. But why are you saying that? You're telling me... you're saying bad things, I told you, bad things. Yes, it's better not to say, but... listen, there are people... what are the bad things? The Arab-East... I told him, the Arab-East is better, I told him, it's the whole world, you can take the good, and you'll get rid of what's not good, you'll go on. Yes, but there are a lot of people who study and they are completely misguided. It's not important. The fact that a person studies...

1:12:01Yes, it's the end of the era. It's the end of the sotah. That's what's happening. There's no unity among the rabbis. Yes, yes, there's a big debate. Those who hurt the rabbis, there's no end to the wars that they have now. So what does it tell me? It tells me that the Holy One, Blessed be He, is talking to someone who is stronger than him, who is stronger than him, and who is stronger than him. Listen, it's good that you changed the subject, but I can tell you personally, personally, I... Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi is a person who has a heavenly power. He is a righteous person, and he is truthful to the end. He doesn't say things and then do something else. Of course, every person in the world has a sword, every person has things, but this person says things that are true to everyone, without doing anyone a favor, except for the Holy One, blessed be He. And sometimes, his greatest enemies are people who look religious, look strange, but they are complete fools. Why? Because they don't love the truth. Because the truth proved them wrong.

1:13:27And a person doesn't want to hear the things that... No, I don't know about these things, to tell you the truth, as we said before, I don't know about these stories, I don't care about these stories, I can't judge anyone, not Rabbi Mizrachi, not Rabbi Amnon, not Rabbi Yagen, not... No one, even the smallest rabbi in the world. A rabbi, now if a boy between 12 and 13 years old received semicha by some great wise man, even that I can't judge. Why? Because I'm not at their level. I can't judge anyone until I reach their level. They can't. I know the size of their hair. I know the size of their tattoos. How do I know? How do I even know if they're real? That's what people don't understand. They just want to say, "He did this, he did that." Nonsense! We need to consider what G-d said: "If by My laws you will go, and by My commandments you will keep, and you will do them." The laws, the commandments, and the things that we need to keep—there is no such thing, not even once, to insult a rabbi. No. It's not written. It's not written. It's written the other way around. It's written the other way around. So what do we do? We insult a rabbi—he did this, he did that. Why all of a sudden? It's impossible to insult anyone. Who knows what he did, what he didn't do. What do I care?

1:14:50What does it matter to them? How do I know if I reach their level and I can stand up for them? How do I know? You can't judge anyone. I don't care about these stories. I don't care about you either. These people who talk about these things, they are just blabbering their words and they are going against the wise, against the wise men of the Rabbanim. And there is no greater stupidity than that. There is no greater stupidity than that. To go against a person who exalts the rabbis, who we just learned, has a special status, a status, in the Gemara it is written, a person who exalts the rabbis, reaches the highest level, which is above the angels of the sharet. Above the angels of the sharet. A complete tzaddik. A complete tzaddik comes to the angels of the sharet. But a person who admires the rabbis reaches above the angels of the sharet. He reaches directly; he sits next to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. He admires the rabbis. This is the only one. Even a righteous person who has learned his whole life, 24 hours a day, if he does not admire the rabbis, only reaches the angels of the sharet.

1:15:56Zikui HaRabim, even in a simple person, he gives discs. Every week, every month, he gives discs, he contributes, he influences his area. Mezakeh HaRabim comes from above the kings of the sharet. You want to tell me that there is a person in the world who learns Torah and knows what we just said, and has the courage to go against a Mezakeh HaRabim? Even the smallest Mezakeh HaRabim. Even a person like me, the smallest, can go against me? Why? Is he crazy? He's learning Torah, he's a person who learns Torah every night. He's learning a mistake, not Torah. He's learning a mistake. He doesn't know, he doesn't learn enough, he needs to learn. Tell him, tell him that he'll pass on the Mishnah that we learned. No, I want to learn, I want to learn about the world, the people, what... No, tell him, the Mishnah, the Avot chapter, it's famous. What's the promotion of the Rabbanim? Why? He has a very beautiful series on the Gemara.

1:17:23He has a series of 613 commandments that 99% of the people, even the Hareidim, don't know all of them. He has a list of prohibitions. He has a lot of prohibitions on a very high level. It's not just a matter of morals or the owner of the answer. A lot of people are wrong about it. Exactly on this verse. But he explains, and there is also a Chazal explaining, that if in my laws you will go, it really means, the Holy One means to tell us, in my laws you will go, it is to be a worker in the Torah. To be a worker in the Torah. This is the purpose of life. You came to the world to be a worker in the Torah. Now, there are many who were workers in the Torah, who learned the Torah, . . . . . There is a person who is trying to do what he came to the world to do, to learn Torah, as Mishnah says in Avot. You don't need to be offended by the Torah you learned, because that's why you came to the world. But he is trying, and sometimes he falls into a state of depression. He has a little bit of pride, and he has a little too much love, whether it's money or all sorts of things. He falls; he doesn't have a nest like Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Akiva. . . . . . Exactly on this verse. But he explains, and there is also a Chazal explaining, that if in My laws you will go, it really means, the Holy One means to tell us, in My laws you will go, it is to be a worker in the Torah. To be a worker in the Torah. This is the purpose of life. You came to the world to be a worker in the Torah. Now, there are many who were workers in the Torah, who learned the Torah. There is a person who is trying to do what he came to the world to do, to learn Torah, as Mishnah says in Avot. You don't need to be offended by the Torah you learned, because that's why you came to the world. But, he is trying, but sometimes he falls into a state of depression, he has a little bit of pride, he has a little too much love, if it's money, if it's all sorts of things. He falls, he doesn't have a nest like Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Akiva. . . . . .

1:18:17That's it, I was going to pass you the lessons of Rabbi Yosef. Yes, I will teach you the lessons in the beginning and at the end. Yes, I'm telling you, it's okay, it's okay. I'm telling you, there are a few rabbis that I see their own lessons, that I learn a lot from them. Of course, the rabbis that we mentioned, Rabbi Ephraim, Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, there are also lessons of Rabbi Zamir, and there is also a new rabbi, relatively new on the internet, Rabbi Baghdadi. There is Rabbi Alon Anava. There are a few who are really strong and good. And every person, even if he is religious his whole life, it is worth listening to in order to learn how to be a person. things, words of wisdom. You have to understand that the Torah has no end. No, the Torah has no end. And when a person says, no, no, it's not on my level, you already know that this person, his Torah, is not Torah, it's a mistake, it's a lie. Why? He's an apikores. Why? Because if you see, I'm telling you, if you see even... Oh, yes, that's nonsense. Wait, let me tell you, during my time, I used to listen to Rabbi Pinto's shiurim, I used to listen to my Rabbi in the synagogue. I don't have the right to listen to women arguing with him. 100%, 100%. I say, this is me, this is me who is arguing with you, it's your fault for hurting me. I don't want you to reply, I don't want you to be in trouble. I don't want you to argue with him, and if you are angry with him, you will reply.

1:19:31Oh, yes, that's nonsense. Wait, let me tell you, during my time, I used to listen to Rabbi Pinto's shiurim, I used to listen to my Rabbi in the synagogue. I don't have the right to listen to women arguing with him. 100%, 100%. I say, this is me, this is me who is arguing with you, it's your fault for hurting me. I don't want you to reply, I don't want you to be in trouble. I don't want you to argue with him, and if you are angry with him, you will reply. 100%, 100%. I just say these things. There are people who study a bit of Torah, and then they say, no, no, I'm not on the same level. I had a student like that. I had a student. A student. He came to me. Baruch Hashem, we strengthened him. And in the blink of an eye, he stopped coming to lessons. And I see that the person didn't exactly reach the goal. He didn't become a complete tzaddik or something like that. And he still needs to strengthen a lot. But he stopped coming. Once I asked him, "No, why don't you come to classes?" He said, "No, I've already returned to teshuvah." No, no, this is for the people who need to return to teshuvah. As if he thinks that the Torah is like a math book that you learn from and you finish it after a month or two months, and that's it, you're fine.

1:20:41Do you understand what I'm saying? No, no, no. Last time I was in a lesson with Rabbi Yossi in Monsey. He gave such a nice lesson. And who gave it to him? To the Chaldeans? Yes, yes. No, he gives us, he gives us, he gives us good lessons. No, I'm not even saying this about you, Hashem. I'm saying this about every person who, like... Why don't you come? Why don't you come? I told him, Rabbi Yossi. I will come to the lectures with Zohra. You know, my wife prepares the food there. I bring the food to the door because I don't know what to do with it. I said no because I have no strength to listen to all these discussions. All these girls there, who are very bad, very... You will come to the lectures in English. In English, it is much more appropriate. People who speak English are more appropriate. They don't argue as much as the Israelis who speak. Of whom? Of Rav Yosef? Of all of them. Of me, of Rav Mizrahi, of everyone. I see that you are talking about me. I see that you are talking about me. Yes, yes, yes, okay, okay. Listen, this is the main thing, the main thing of today's study. Baruch Hashem, we know, if you follow the laws, you will be protected, and you did them. All the nonsense of the world, all the defamation of Hashem that people do, all the darkness, all the garbage that exists in the world, get away from it. What do you do? Laws of Hashem. You study Torah, you work. What is darkness?

1:22:06Sheker that exists in the world, there is a lot of sheker, Alma D'Shikra, everything is sheker. What? What? The world of sheker? The world of sheker. What kind of sheker? What, I don't... I, Baruch Hashem, you know who I work for. Baruch Hashem, all those I work for, for them, all of them, Baruch Hashem, have a smile, a smile on their head, they talk nicely. I don't invite people to talk, really. Very good, distance yourself from them, distance yourself from people like that, yes. Just one day I will give you, now, $8,000, just one day, I will give you. But that's not him. He gave me the blessing of God. Thank God. Thank God. What am I going to do? I told my wife, I'm going with the doctor to apply the plaster. Plaster? What is plaster? Of the walls? Yes, yes, yes. And apply 10 tons of it on the doctor. He pressed on the floor. The doctor said, I'm going to drink alcohol in the room. I said, no, don't do that. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go. You'll let him go.

1:23:31Okay, okay, but you know, the more you do the will of Hashem, He will do your will in the end. Everyone will run after you to do business with you. You won't have to work until 9 at night, 10 at night. You will do more, study Torah, the matter of tzniut, prayer, things like that, relatively simple things, but to do them in a constant way. With the help of Hashem, your world will receive all the blessings that are written at the beginning of the parasha in ten verses. All the blessings will come upon you with the help of Hashem, that you will be blessed with prosperity, with ease, until you finish one job, you will already have a hundred jobs waiting for you. But you won't have to work until ten at night. You will have workers. But you will do what you want with the help of Hashem. We will all return to teshuva. We will all strengthen. We will all know and discover the truth. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

1:24:45Yes, I'll send it to you on the phone. I'll send you the text with the link to the credit card, and you'll update me. If there's a problem or if you need something, I'll send it to you right now. When do you arrive here? The first day, the first day, with God's help. You mean next year is good? Yes, the first day. I do, I skip the first day, and the first day at night, the same day, the same night, I do a lesson in Staten Island. Oh, Staten Island, I can't do that. But the second, third, fourth, and fifth day, I do in Brooklyn. Every day in Brooklyn. There's a lesson in Staten Island at 9 on the first day, but the rest of the week at 8, 8:30. You know, everyone, I'm saying, you write 8, but really the lesson starts at 8:30 because everyone is late. But I'll send you the pass, I'll send you the invitation that says...

1:25:46Yes, two hours. Depends. Depends on what time. A person's quarter of an hour is the highest level of concentration. I try to do a lesson of two hours. Sometimes I have a group that I have to finish the lesson a little less, an hour and a half, sometimes even an hour. It depends. I try to continue the lessons for two hours, to collect as much Torah as possible, as much material as possible. But if a person can't listen to the whole lesson and can only listen for an hour, he goes an hour later. I don't take it to heart. I sat there for an hour, learned for an hour, it's okay, b'shem Hashem. We'll do what we can. But, b'shem Hashem, let's come, let's learn, let's meet, b'shem Hashem. And it will be nice, it will be nice, b'shem Hashem. Each lesson will be different from the others, b'shem Hashem. We'll learn a few things. I, b'shem Hashem, still need to get the siyata d'shamaya to know what to say. So, with God's help, it will be good. With God's help, we'll see. Yes, yes, with God's help. It will be good, with God's help. So, fix me up, I'll send you the text now. And go, you'll be with your son. You said almost 20 minutes ago that you need to be with your son, so I don't want to insult you. So, go with your son, with God's help. Okay, okay. Have a blessed Shabbat.

1:27:11Thank you. May God bless you forever. Thank you. All the best. Bye-bye.
