שיחת חיזוק (4) בטלפון בתכנית TorahMates (פרשת שמות, שקר הנצרות, אמונה, מידות טובות)

0:01Yes, Baruch Hashem, let's learn a little bit, Baruch Hashem. My mouth will open and I will come to you. There are certain questions about the parashah, we'll start from the beginning, we'll see what happens, or is there something? Baruch Hashem, we have a new parashah, a new book. Yes, okay. So, we have a new parashah, a new book, and it's a time when there's a lot of action, a lot of action in the book of Shemot. It has many stories, many midrashim, at least that I know, and a lot of interesting things that you can learn. And the book begins with the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt with Yaakov, each man and his household. Reuven, Shimon, Levi, and Yehudah, Yissachar, Zevulun, and Binyamin, Dan, and Naftali, Gad, and Asher, and every soul that comes out, Yerech Yaakov, 70 souls, and Yosef was in Egypt, and Yosef died, and all his brothers, and all that generation. And now, until this verse, it's a verse of Zayin, it's a verse of Vav, the end of a verse of Vav, there are a few interesting things. The first thing, it's already the second time that this verse is written in the Torah.

1:20It's the second time. The first time is in Bereishit 46:8. Oh, it broke. Let's try again. Oh, you see, the wood is already starting to break. It looks like it's interesting. Here we go. Here we go, okay? Okay, good. Yes, it's in the book of Bereishit 46:8. It's exactly the same thing. Now they say that there is really one extra letter in the whole Torah. So really, why? There are several reasons that the same verse is written twice. What's interesting about this verse is that it mentions the fact that Yaakov went down to Mitzrayim with 70 people.

2:40And this is one of the best proofs against Christianity. Now in Christianity, the New Covenant, they have, of course, that all of Christianity—the Catholics, the Christians—they have their book, and they say that this is a continuation to our book. Now, every person who is religious knows that if you say that the first book is okay, and you have the second part, then it means that the second part must agree with the first part. Because you already say and agree that the first book is God, it is above nature, above the logic of man, there is no chance in the world that man could have written this book. We received it at Mount Sinai, with all the Jews, millions of people who were there, which is the promise of God, who told us that this would be the only case in history, apart from the days of the Messiah, in the name of the Messiah. But apart from that, there will never be even two people who will tell you that God spoke to them.

3:50Never. Every time there is a person who is a holy prophet, who comes from Islam, or their Muhammad, or their Imach Shemo Vezichro comes to them, or all kinds of people like that, there has always been a story of one person. There are no witnesses. There are no witnesses. So you agree that the prophecy that G-d Himself told us, the promise, not the prophecy, the promise that G-d Himself told us, that the only time in history that He spoke to more than one person, that it was really millions of people, It will be Mount Sinai. You agree that it is Mount Sinai. But now you also say that your book is a second book. So there are many, many proofs against this new, twisted Christianity and the New Testament. And this is one of the simplest things that can be seen. Here it is written, once or twice in the Torah, that Yaakov went down to Egypt with 70 nefesh. In the New Testament, in all the books, there are almost 200,000 errors. It's the same book, but in each book, there is a change. There are errors. For example, in one book, it says, let's say, the spelling of one word like this, and the writing is different in another book. So there are all kinds of changes. In our Torah, there is only one. So in any case, in all their books, and especially the most popular book, which we call the King James Version,

5:13King James Version. Kulam, katov, Yaakov yarad l'Mitzrayim, kama? 75 hanashim. Az ma, az achshav, ze tov lada'at, afilu bishvil Yehudi lada'at etze, biglal shechazal omrim lano, matay shechazal, Yehudi, shehu lomed Torah, hu gam chayav lada'at, dvarim, shehem neged ha-koferim. Shematai shehu ha-kofer hazeh yavo eylecha, ata tiye kvar muchan, lo tiye, o, kitzel tamim kaze, lo yodea ma ledaber, ma lehagid, a priest who doesn't know, he wants to prove, say, nature, he wants to prove the New Covenant, or Islam, and all kinds of things, you can, you know a little about his things, so you can prove it, and show him how much he will improve. Now, and with the help of Hashem, I will return to the answer. But now, the thing here, this is one of the most simple and best proofs. Because it's already 2,000 years, almost 2,000 years since the writing of this new book, And for 2000 years, they hold on to this mistake, that he came down with 75, and they don't have an explanation. They don't have an objective, real explanation. They say, no, maybe he didn't tell enough. So what, you're telling me that if you already agree that HaKadosh Baruch Hu Himself told Moshe exactly what to write, so what, HaKadosh Baruch Hu forgot? Not just once, but twice?

6:35that there are 70 people who wrote, and now in your book, thank you for writing 75, you corrected us. So it can't be that your book is correct without the Torah being true, but it can be that the Torah is true and the New Testament is false. So this is one of the proofs that they see that several times in the Torah it is written 70, and in their book it is written 75. The other thing that is also interesting... Huh? No, it's not about learning their learning, it's about... You need to know how many things they prove to be false. You need to know, especially if I myself am involved in this. So I, of course, learn a little bit about these things. And a normal person just needs to know minimal things, at least, that if there is, for example, a priest who comes to him, he's not like... Not important, a Jewish priest, a Christian priest, not important. Yes, yes, but let's say, now, what if you have a child with you,

7:54A little boy, a 15-year-old boy, he's now just a baal teshuvah, he's starting to get stronger. One of these missionaries comes to you, he speaks Hebrew, Israeli unfortunately, and he starts to tell you all kinds of things. So if you have all kinds of things, and you have this proof now, that's enough already. The knowledge we just learned is enough. You tell me, how can you tell me that your book is correct, and you have mistakes that a boy in first grade wouldn't make? You wrote 75, and in our book, that you agree that our book is true, it says 70. So that's enough. Do you agree with the fact that you speak Hebrew like us? Well, yes, unfortunately, there are many. There is a party in Israel, one of whom is even a typist. they talk, and they are missionaries, and they make videos. They have a huge budget, spending millions of dollars to "save" the people of Israel. It's really Satan himself who gives them the power with this money. Satan has a lot of money; he gives it to them, and they go after whom? After innocent people who have no minimal understanding. There are a lot of videos

9:18And they go on the streets and try to stop people and tell them. Usually, they don't tell them the truth 100%. What do they tell them? No, no, we are also Jews, but we are Jewish messianists. Like, we are Jews, but we don't observe any commandments because some person died 2000 years ago. So we're fine, we don't need to do anything. Shabbat, we don't need to listen. Kashrut, we don't need to listen. Again, we don't need to listen to anything. Just believe in the name of the Lord and remember Him, and everything will be fine. In general, this thing in itself, it's already natural to believe that the Creator of the world, he built the heavens and the earth, he invested everything he invested in order to write the book of Torah, to do this great deed of the Mount Sinai, with all the commandments, and all the dictates, and all the things he did, and took them out of Egypt, and made the Temple, first, second, all the tzaddikim, all the stories, all the midrashim, Torah Shebichtav, Torah SheBaal Peh, and suddenly, suddenly,

10:22he changes his mind, which is completely against the Torah. It is clearly written that the Holy One does not think like a human being, and He does not change His mind, and He does not lie, and things like that, like a human being. But suddenly, they say, suddenly He changes His mind, and something new begins. But how can we explain that if the first thing was a case that all nations of the world saw, All nations of the world have seen it. Not only the people of Israel have seen Har Sinai. All nations of the world have seen it, like in heaven. Like a television in heaven. How do we know this? One of the stories is from Rachav. Rachav, the wife of Yehoshua bin Nun. The wife of Yehoshua bin Nun. She was born. Before she was born, she was not only not Jewish, she was also a zonah. So now, when she met Yehoshua bin Nun and helped the people of Israel to protect them, to protect Yehoshua bin Nun, then she said, we saw what God did to you. What does it mean, we saw? Or we heard, we heard what God did to you. How did you hear? You didn't come to Sinai. How did you hear?

11:31Because G-d, when He did it, He did what He did at Mount Sinai, He really showed it to the whole world. All nations of the world saw exactly what was happening at Mount Sinai, and what was happening there with all the Ten Commandments, and the Torah, and how G-d can see His words. Every word that He said, there were words in heaven, written in heaven, these words, so we really saw His voice. Yes, something amazing. So all the nations of the world saw them, saw what happened at Mount Sinai. So now the Christians say, He did all these things that the whole world saw, but suddenly you say He changed His mind, and He changed it in secret, that only one person in the world knows. There are no proofs, there is no evidence, there is nothing. So a person with a little bit of wisdom thinks to himself, okay, fine. They agree that the whole of Sinai is true. The Torah is true. They say that there is a continuation to this. But how can it be that the minimum that Hashem will do is at least the same thing as He did at Sinai? Minimum.

12:44If this continuation is really true, then the minimum you will do is at least what you did the first time. Or even really, if a person really thinks, it needs to be even bigger. Because you change your mind, you change something, you go against your nature. You say that you don't change your mind. So the minimum will be bigger. But they say, no, the one that is not bigger, not even the same thing, it was a secret that only one woman knows, and that's it. It's nonsense. There are a lot of mistakes on almost every page of the New Testament. There is a mistake, and there is a really famous debate that Rabbi Mizrachi did against some expert of Christianity who teaches their scriptures, and he really... cut it into pieces, proved it, millions of proofs, that a person can't explain, and no one can explain, and no one can explain them, because these are already questions that the Ramban asked when he also had a debate almost 800 years ago, that he didn't have the answers. And for 800 years, we are waiting for answers that they really don't have. Another thing that is really funny in the book of the New Testament, and then we will move forward,

14:06There is a creature in the Torah that is called Re'em. Have you heard of it before? Re'em? Yes. It's like a big creature. It's like a big creature. It's like a big tree together. Something very big. It's like a bird. Yes, yes. It's something huge. It's not more than that. It's a huge thing. They say that even its body was like a dinosaur. Anyway... This life is already clear to all the Jews, even to a person who hasn't learned much in Torah. He knows what a Re'em is. It's not a snake. It's a Re'em. This King James book, the most famous book in the world, how do they translate it? What is a Re'em? It's a unicorn. What is a unicorn? A unicorn is a mystical creature that a person invented for children's stories. It's a horse with a horn. But it's already known that this creature is invented by a person. It's for stories, it's nice, it's interesting, it's for little children.

15:22And these typists, instead of writing Re'em, nine times in the Tanach, nine times in the Tanach, in the Book of Iyov, in the Torah itself, nine times, every time it's written, the animal, Re'em, also in the Tehillim, the animal is written Re'em, they write instead of Re'em, they write Unicorn. So it's like, it's the same thing if they wrote Bugs Bunny, and Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse, it's the same thing. The New Covenant. Four people wrote it, and they connected it together. And what's most interesting is that those four people who wrote the Torah with his name and memory. They wrote about him and all the things he said and all the things he did. But none of them ever knew him. Why? They wrote about him from 70 to 300 years after he died. 70 to 300. Like either 70 or 300. Maximum 300 years after he died. So none of them who wrote this book knew him at all.

16:42He wasn't there. They never saw him. It's just stories. But he died as a Jew in Chameid. He died as a Jew. It's not important. The point here is that those who wrote the book about him didn't even know him. They didn't see him. They weren't there. They're just telling stories. Do you understand? So the point here... No, no, no, but they wrote stories about him—what he said and what he did—and how he killed some tree, a tree that seems to be poisonous, because the tree didn't have fruit, so he killed it, but it's not clear. If you say that you're the Elohim, then why do you take the tree when it doesn't grow fruit? You're God, you decide if it's growing or not. Why are you planting this tree? Or again, he tells them, no, I didn't come to abolish the Torah, I didn't come to abolish the Torah, I came to fulfill it. And then, someone asks him, so why are your students violating Shabbat? He says, no, no, they, no, I'm above Shabbat. So, like, he's contradicting himself.

17:59And another thing, all of this in the debate of Rabbi Mizrahi and many other sources, Rabbi Tovia Singer, he had a lot of arguments and read them all. He's really good in English. What? Jews? Jews? No, a Jew is forbidden to light a fire on Shabbat. What does it mean to light a fire on Shabbat? No, no, it's a korban. It's a different thing. It's something that Hashem himself told you to do. A korban on Shabbat, Hashem himself told them, and the fire was a spiritual fire. It's not like they were taking firewood and lighting a fire out of nothing. Why suddenly? It was forbidden to light a fire. The Holy One says it was forbidden to light a fire on Shabbat. But all the sacrifices and all that, it was... Yes, yes, but it was all a process that the Holy One Himself directed. Not that every person would say, okay, so I lit a fire in the Temple, so I'll go home and light another one and make a barbecue. Why suddenly? No, the Temple already had a fire.

19:22And also, you know, when the Holy One would send some kind of ruach, that you would take it, it was a ruach shel eish, so it was from shamayim, it's not aish like we have today. But in any case, the issue of the Christians, on the one hand, he says that he came to complete the Torah and it is forbidden to change even the smallest mistake in the entire Torah, it is forbidden to change it, and a person who changes even a small mistake in the Torah is scattered from shamayim to the world. And on the other hand, in another line, they say to you, why do your students beat you? ומחלל שבת, איך זה יכול להיות? לא, לא, אני מעל השבת. אז כאילו הוא סותר את עצמו הרבה, וגם בהתחלת הספר אומרים שהוא כאילו, אמא שלו, כי מה יחסים כביכול עם הקדוש ברוך הוא, וכאילו, הוא כאילו בן האלוקים, אבל בצד שני, עוד כמה עמודים אחרי זה, מראים לך 25 שמות של האבות של יוסף.

20:35Yosef HaSandlar, because he proves that he is one of the descendants of King David. Why does he prove that he is one of the descendants of King David? To prove that, like, Jesus is the Messiah. But if you tell me on the first page of this book, that with his name and memory, Jesus is the son of G-d, So what is relevant here? Who is his father? Yosef is not his father. You said that G-d is his father. So what does it matter to me if Yosef comes from David or not from David? And even the funniest thing is that there are two lists of 25 names that connect Yosef to King David. But in both lists, there are 25 different names. It's not the same thing. So one covers the other. And you see mistakes of, like, really, a kid in kindergarten, not even in the first grade, who only just learned to read and write, he didn't make these mistakes. And you see that it's already a tip of the iceberg. They weren't so smart, the people who wrote this book. But unfortunately, the reason that many people continue in this religion,

21:58Even Israelis, even Jews, and all kinds of other people. Even! Why? Because the religion not only does not require the person, but it also allows him to kill his enemy. On the one hand, you say to yourself, okay, listen, you entered this religion, you don't need to listen to anything. Why? Because some guy died 2,000 years ago, And that's it. So you don't have to do anything. You don't have to keep Shabbat. You can kill whomever you want. As long as you believe in it, you're fine. So Hitler... What do you want? No, no, they don't have laws. Did you kill someone? No, but I'm telling you, it's not... Christianity is not sheva mitzvot b'nei Noach. Christianity is 100% avodah zarah. It's not... Christianity is not... Sheva mitzvot b'nei Noach is what they really need to do. Sheva mitzvot b'nei Noach is what the Goyim need to do; they are obliged to do them from HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Every person who is not a Jew must do the Sheva mitzvot b'nei Noach. And also all the mitzvot, all the things that are logical, like the Sheva mitzvot b'nei Noach, it is not written to accept your father as your father, but it is clear that a person knows that he must accept his parents.

23:22It's logical. So it's also these seven commandments and also everything that is logical. But Christianity does not believe in the Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach. They believe that the old covenant, which they call our Torah, is not relevant. Everyone who believes in the Torah knows that this is what he needs to do. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, mechila, no. The Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach, you can think of it as a system by itself. It's not really a religion, it's like a person who knows the Torah, who believes in the Torah, and he fulfills it, like a goy. Chasdei umot ha'olam, אנחנו היום חושבים שחסיד זה כאילו בן אדם עם פאות והכובע וכל הדברים האלה. אבל באמת, chasdei umot ha'olam זה הגויים שהם שומרים את Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach. הנוצרים, זה הסיבה היחידה שהם שומרים את Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach. אה?

24:36Yes, they believe in the Torah of the people of Israel and use it as a guide. They are not obligated to go out, they are not obligated to keep Shabbat or the majority of the 613 commandments. But they are obliged to fulfill the Torah, which the Holy One gave to Noach. Indeed, He gave the first six commandments to Adam HaRishon. And the seventh, He gave to Noach. And that's why they call them the Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach, because he completed them. But the whole world... No, a Ger Tzedek is a person who is a Jew, and he is a Jew completely. And he is a Jew who observes the Torah and the mitzvot. Yes, yes. Not Ger Tzedek. Ger Toshav, is that what you mean? Ger Toshav. Ger Toshav, yes. Yasher Koach. So, yes, Ger Toshav, or the person who keeps the Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach, that's already in... He lives among us. Yes, he lives among us, exactly. He keeps the Torah, he keeps the mitzvot because it's written in the Torah, not because it's logical.

25:52Not to eat from a living animal, to cut some of it while it is alive. Or that it's not good to kill people. No, he keeps it because it's written in the Torah. Yes. No, the Christians are obligated, everyone is obligated, the whole world is obligated to keep the commandments of the children of Noah. Except for the Jews, who already have more than seven mitzvot, the whole world is obligated to keep the seven mitzvot of the children of Noah. But they don't do it. Why? They have their own religion. There is Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity. Yes, a Goy who preserves the mitzvot of the children of Noah has a large part in the world to come. Yes, yes, this is a Goy Tzaddik. You know that Iyov, Iyov, Iyov, that he was not only a Tzaddik...

27:05He wrote a whole book about him in the Torah. He wasn't a Jew. He wasn't a Jew. Not only a Tzaddik, he was also a prophet. He was a prophet. So it shows us that a Goy Tzaddik has a part in the next world, and also to the extent that a book was written about him in the Torah. A Goy Tzaddik is something amazing. So now, the Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach is avodah zara, birkat Hashem, shefichat damim, gilui arayot, gezel, dinim, and eiver min hachai. Dinim means they have to establish a court system that enforces justice, unlike Sodom and Gomorrah. However, the New Testament, the Christians, and the Catholics, they invented something new; they essentially destroyed the whole Torah, claiming it's no longer relevant. And every person who believes in this person, he's free of everything. So even if you killed someone, it's okay, it's not good, but you'll do it, you'll read some, some something, some Hail Mary or something like that a few times, you're free. Hitler, you're free. They all have a next world, they're all good, they're all fine, as long as you believe. Come on, you're fine. You can do whatever you want. It's not just against logic, but it's really, really stupid.

28:29So now, when a person doesn't want to do anything, wants to live like a goy, wants to do whatever's in his head, wants to... So this religion suits him. Why? He's not attached to anything. But even more than that, even more than that, a person who has a good heart... Not all the Christians have a bad heart. There are people who are good. But sometimes they also have a bad heart. They have a certain bad heart. Not the same as the Jews, but they have a bad heart. So a person who says to himself, listen, I believe in Hashem. I believe that there is a Creator of the world. Through this thing. Through this person. But I have to do something. he's not ready to keep Shabbat, he's not ready to keep Kashrut, he's not ready to do all these things. So what does he say? So this is what he feels. He feels religious. Why? Because he goes to their synagogue once a week, or even once a month, it doesn't matter, but every first day, the first day is their Shabbat, and he feels like he goes to the synagogue every first day, adds a few dollars,

29:49So he's fine, it's his daily routine. So he continues the week, feasting, feasting, stealing, everything's fine. Why? Because I went to the synagogue on the first day. So you understand. So a person who just plays with you because he's religious, he says to himself, I'm religious, it's my daily routine, so I'm religious here, in Christianity. So this is what attracts a lot of people, unfortunately, also a lot of Jews, who don't understand what Torah is. So they say, they've never read the Torah in their lives, and they understood it. So they say, no, no, it's not suitable for Shabbat, it's not suitable for Kashrut, it's not suitable for anything. It's better to do this, that I also feel that I'm religious, I also feel that I'm good, it makes me feel satisfied, and also, I know that everything is fine. I'm in order. They think they're normal, but they don't know how big this transition is. So that's Christianity in a few words. So there are many, many mistakes in all of these things. In all of their books, where it says the Temple Mount, they wrote that it's in... instead of... how do you call it? Not Shechem. It's in Shechem, but they wrote that it's in... Chevron, Chevron.

31:10Yes, yes, all these things. So now there are a lot of mistakes; this is one of them. In this parasha, it is written, one of them. We will continue on. Now, what is it really, why are we so attached to our Torah? Now you see that the Torah itself has a lot of beautiful things. Even after the story, you see there is a coding, there is something like that; they call it coding. which is really interesting. I don't deal with it much, but there are a few really interesting things. At the beginning of this portion, if you go, and these are names, the last letter of the word "names" is Tav, and you spell 50 letters, you get to the word "Vayehi," that's the Vav, and then you get... The word "Vayehi" is a word, so the first letter is Vav. Ot 50 otiyot, you get to the word Yerech. Yerech Yaakov. So the ot, you get to Resh. And ot 50 otiyot, you get to the end of the verse Vav, which is the word Ahu, which is the ot Hei. So 50, 50, 50, you get to the word Torah. Why is it such a big deal that it's 50? First of all, Torah, we know that we get the Torah in the book of Shemot.

32:31Second, when did we get the Torah? Shavuot, chazak u'baruch. Shavuot, when is Shavuot? 50 days after Pesach. After Pesach, starting from the second day of Pesach, 50 days from this, you have weeks. So you see that even the letters themselves... Yes, 50 days. So you have the word... Yes, it's 7 weeks plus a day. Yes, yes, now you have from Pesach, you work for 50 days, you get to the weeks. That's when you get the Torah. And it shows you here, the word Torah, there's a difference. The word Torah is many times in the Torah. But here, it shows you the Torah through a code. You see that it's 50 letters; there's a meaning to this number, that's the point.

33:48It's not just written; we found a Torah, like, Tav, 370 letters, Vav, 370 letters. It makes sense for these 50. Do you understand? It makes sense for this code. So you see that even the letters and the words, there is no chance in the world that a person would be able to do these things. Because it's like, even every letter, every letter is in the only place that it can be. Letter, not a word, not a sentence, not a verse, not a book. Every letter is exactly in the place that it needs to be. Amazing, amazing. The codes are really an amazing thing. So it's... Yes. Now, something else. Now, we went down to Egypt with 70 people. And then it says, "And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them."

35:10Exactly, there are only a few Jews, right? You're right. So why is it written with so many words to explain how many we were? Like, why don't you say, okay, the children of Israel fled, and they were destroyed. That's it, two words, or even one. That's it, and the children of Israel were destroyed. Why is it that there are six words,paru, v'sharatzu, v'rabu, v'yatzmu, b'me'od me'od? paru, v'sharatzu, v'rabu, v'yatzmu, b'me'od me'od. Shesh milim shemazbirim lanu kama hayinu. Az lama shesh milim? Ha'sod po, haMidrash omer, sheHaKadosh Baruch Hu, l'hakim et Am Yisrael, ze lo haya yachol lihiot b'derech tivi'i. Anachnu banu leMitzrayim, hayinu shiv'im nefesh. K'she yatsanu miMitzrayim, afilu achar she shmonim achuz meAm Yisrael, To our regret, they died in the darkness. Even after that, there were millions and millions of Jews who went to Mount Sinai. So, within 210 years that we were in Egypt, to get from 70 to millions, it couldn't be natural. So, this Chazal, they tell us a secret here. Why are there six words? Because the Holy One, blessed be He, made it so that every birth produced six children. Every birth, six children.

36:34Six in one cross. So because of that, there are six words here that explain to us that every birth was like this, a minimum. So you'll see, it's not like today when a couple has one or two children—a boy and a girl—saying, "That's it, we did the mitzvah, it's over, that's it, it's over. We don't want to destroy the body of the woman." Here, they... Exactly, but these are people who don't understand and don't believe. Unfortunately, they are far from the idea of a Torah child like you. Oh, they don't understand it. They think that there isn't enough money for children. That's what people think. No, no, no, it's impossible, it's impossible, there isn't enough money. They don't understand that every child comes with an investment. A person can be not... But really, it's really interesting. It's not through the nature of what we see, but through the nature of the person himself.

37:35Exactly. Without Torah, even being Jewish is not natural. Even when the Jewish people exist, it's not natural. Every country, every... The nations of the world. In what situation did they try to destroy the small people? And not only did they not destroy us—Baruch Hashem—they themselves don't exist anymore. They fell. Do you know any Romans? Do you know any Babylonians? Do you know any people from ancient Egypt? No, no.

38:35So, all of these tried to destroy us, and you see, even Mark Twain—Mark Twain was famous in America, famous all over the world. He wrote a few famous books, like "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and a few more books. He went once to the Land of Israel, Mark Twain, Mark Twain. He was a historian; he wrote about history and other things like that. And before, at the end of the 1800s, a little over 100 years ago, 120 years ago, something like that, he went to the Land of Israel, before modern Israel, of course, almost 60 years ago, and he wrote about it. He wrote that he didn't understand what everyone was arguing about regarding this land. There are no trees, there's nothing here. He wrote all kinds of things like that, and he said to himself: one thing that I can never explain and can't understand is the Jewish people.

39:50This nation is above nature. This nation is above nature. All the nations of the world have tried to destroy them, and they still exist, while all these nations are already gone. They no longer exist. So he says, the Jewish nation is above nature. He called them Netzachim. The Jewish nation is Netzachim. So even goyim, when they pay attention to the details, understand that the Jewish nation is above nature. So a person needs to understand... That if he is a Jew, he already lives above nature. And he already needs to understand that everything is from Hashem. Every child comes with an investment. A person can suffer, really suffer, and be a poor man, with four children, hardly able to eat. And he thinks to himself, how can I... How can I make a five-year-old, and this five-year-old has a slot card of five million dollars.

40:52Exactly, that's what I'm saying. This five-year-old boy holds a 5 million dollar card. And the person, you understand, so the person, if he wants to fulfill the words of Hashem, he will receive 5 million dollars, and also another child. Yes. No, Pru Urvu is a boy and a girl. Yes. Yes. No. He will try as much as he can. And let's say he had ten sons or ten daughters. But the daughters, they get married with sons, get married, know the Torah, buy the Torah. The sons, the husbands of his daughters, are considered like his sons. Every girl who gets married is considered as if she has a son now.

42:18Oh, yes, that's what I'm telling you. So if he has 10 daughters, marries off 10 daughters, or even if one of the 10 daughters marries a son, it's thought that he, his son-in-law, it's thought that he married properly, he fulfilled the mitzvah. Until now, until 10 daughters, he didn't fulfill the mitzvah. Until 10 daughters, he didn't fulfill the mitzvah, he didn't finish the mitzvah. When the first daughter got married, yes, she got married, he already finished the mitzvah, he has a son and a daughter. Did you understand? Okay. So now, here in the parasha, it says, "And it says to his people, 'pen yirbeh v'haya ki tikrena milchama v'nosaf gam hu al sonenu v'nilcham banu v'ala min ha'aretz.'" So here, something interesting, it tells you, "ava nitchak malo." Now, Paro harasha hazeh, they say he didn't know who Yosef was. Like, all the good that Yosef did to Egypt, he really put them on the map. If Egypt, let's say, was a good state, after Yosef, the state would have been... pen yirbeh v'haya ki tikrena milchama v'nosaf gam hu al sonenu v'nilcham banu v'ala min ha'aretz. So here, something interesting, it tells you, ava nitchak malo. Now, Paro harasha hazeh, they say he didn't know who Yosef was. Like, all the good that Yosef did to Egypt, he really put them on the map. If Egypt, let's say, was a good state, after Yosef, the state would have been

43:44the richest in the world. And suddenly, a little time passed, a little more than 100 years passed, and suddenly you forget what the Jews really did for you. So Pharaoh didn't know. And here, this parasha, this is exactly where it starts. Antisemites. Antisemites came to the world. Same thing as what happens today with the BDS, where they try to boycott the things of the Land of Israel, and they try to intimidate the people of Israel with business and money and all kinds of things. Like all the TV companies say, "Two Palestinians died." In Jerusalem, they don't say that these two Palestinians are murderers who killed a few poor Jews. They don't say that. They say, "CNN: Two Palestinians died in a murder in, well, in Jerusalem." Yes. So, like...

44:53So a person who doesn't pay attention to the details, he thinks that the people of Israel are murderers and all these things. So all this comes from anti-Semitism. When did anti-Semitism start? A week ago, a week ago. He says to you, "Abba, wait for what? This is the first time that they want to go against the whole people." Even though we already know that the halacha is Esav who hates Yaakov. But Esav hated Yaakov. Only Yaakov. He didn't hate his sons. He hated Yaakov. Today, it's clear that we know that it's more. We are Yaakov. And the goyim are Esav. Huh? Say that again. We are Yaakov. Yes. Yes, yes, exactly. But here, when Esav hated Yaakov, he had something personal with him. In the story itself, he had a personal story with Yaakov. Here, Pharaoh goes against all the people. It doesn't matter if you're a Tripolitan, a Moroccan, an Ashkenazi, a Sephardi, a Temani, whatever you are. I'm going against all the people. But let's wait for him. We'll wait and work on them. How did he work on them?

46:08What is the greatest sorrow of a person in our generation? The greatest sorrow of a person in our generation? Yes, our generation. What else? What else? Money. Money, Chazak U'Baruch. Money, Chazak U'Baruch. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And that's exactly what happened here. He says... So Pharaoh's leader knew about it. So what did he say to them? He said to them, suddenly he became patriotic like this. Let's build and build Egypt. We have money. We have a lot of money. Let's build Egypt. Let's do something special. Leave all your businesses. the Jews were living in Goshen, and a few more bought in a few other countries, which we learned about two episodes ago, that they not only stayed in Goshen, they also started going to the places of the goyim, which was not good. But in any case, he told them, every Jew has his own business, all of them themselves, like today, or most of them at least. Leave your business, come on, help me build our own country.

47:34Yes, but you have to do a promotion. He says, yes, what are you doing? So he says, I will pay every person $1,000 a day. What are you doing? $100 a day, you work at the grocery store, you make $100, you pay the house. Okay, I will pay you $1,000 a day. So every person, what does he do? Closes the store on the spot. Instead of $100, he will work, break his head, see accounts, taxes, insurance, all these things. Why do I need it? Just for $100? Oh, Pharaoh has a lot of money. He promises to give me $1,000 a day. It's worth it, right? So that's exactly what Pharaoh did. He said, let's work on them. Yes, you see? So that's what Pharaoh said, let's wait for them, let's work on them. Let's work on them, let's promise them a lot. Until they reach a situation where they won't have a choice, and they will have to be my slaves. So first he promised them $1,000. They came to work. After a few days, he said, no, no, no, there's so much. They came, everyone came, they don't get $1,000, they get $500. So everyone says, okay, $500, $1,000, the same thing, we're rich.

48:50אחק קצת זמן, אי אפשר חמש מאות, נעשה מתיים. אוקיי, בסדר, זה לא חמש מאות, זה לא אלף, אבל אתה יודע מה, אני כבר, בסדר, מתיים. אז, ירד למאה. אומר, מה, אני עכשיו break even, אני עכשיו שווה בשווה, ממה שהיה לי פעם, אבל לפחות אני שווה, אני בסדר, לא, לא big deal, בסדר, מה לעשות, מצב קשה. זה... But I can't go back to my store. I already closed it a year ago. To open a new store, I need a lot of money. I don't have that money. I only have $100 a day. So I don't have the opportunity to go back to my business. So, it went down from $100 to $50. And $50, what to do? That's what's left. I can't. I don't have money to do a new business. And as long as I have money to close the month... And then from $50, he tells you, nothing, zero. "You are my slaves, I will feed you. Give them food, that's it." They have no choice. So, that's how he was reformed, and that's how he worked for the people of Israel, except for the Levi tribe, who were wise students, who didn't work, and only kept Torah, and weren't slaves at all. The whole process of us being slaves in Egypt, the Levi tribe wasn't slaves at all.

50:15He couldn't wait for them; he couldn't work for them. They obeyed the Torah. And the people of Israel were now turned into slaves and had no choice. And so he worked for them, who were already, at the beginning of the parasha, he tells us, greater in number than the Egyptians. There were more Jews, or more Israelites, than the Egyptians. But so, with money, he worked for all of us. And that's how the work continues to this day. And if you pay attention, everything that happened here, all the terror that was done to the people of Israel, there are many midrashim that bring the things, the things that are really ugly, it's something very bad, very terrible, what they did to the Jews, how they killed them. And you can see exactly what Yes, so what I'm trying to explain is that everything we saw in the Holocaust, we already saw it in Egypt. And Rabbi Ephraim Kachlon, my son, my friend, one of the books he writes, Baruch Hashem, is to show that everything that happened to us in Egypt happened in the Holocaust. And...

51:45So, proofs, really proofs to show, because this happened, this happened, all these things. Really, things, things, very terrible. Then, if we go to the verse, Tet Vav, he says something, which is really a problem in our generation, which now, he says, and they lost their lives in hard work, in mortar and in bricks, and in all the work in the field. et kol avodatam asher avadu bahem befarech. Now he says here, the people of Israel worked the work of farech. So the work of farech is not hard work. Because if it was hard work, it would have been written as hard work. So the work of farech is clear that it's something else. What is it? Chazak u'baruch, this is one of the things, this is one of the instructions. But another thing, what is the work of farech? The work of farech is when you work, work, work, work, but there are no results. No end, no results. You work all month, if you work 12 hours a day or 20 hours a day, at the end of the month you hardly finish the month. No results.

53:06No, it's true. What you mean is a matter of results. So now if you say, now a person He doesn't make much money. He hardly finishes the month. But at least he works in a building. After a year, two years, three years, he says, oh, he shows his son, "Here, Dad built this building. Dad built it." At least he has self-respect. He's a little bit, you know, a little bit, he's a little bit jealous of himself. "I don't make much money, but at least, look, he shows his son, I built this building." Yes, there's a result. So here he means, work of a sheep, that the sheep was so ugly that it was ...does that the Jews built something and then destroyed it so he says not only that he will not pay them, not only that they are just slaves, but even they will not have joy, even small joy, from what they did because there will be nothing. The pyramids that we see today and a few more things, the Sphinx, yes, the Jewish people built everything, but what they really built was much more...

54:28But he destroyed it. Only in order to destroy all their wealth, all the good that they have, everything. Exactly. He destroyed it in a way... Yes, but how do you defeat a war? A war is not only defeated with weapons. If you look at history... How do you defeat the war? You defeat the people in a moral way. In a moral way, if you... The Jewish people were a great people. So now, as long as the people are great, as long as each woman has another six children, she can get to the point that one day one of these children will be a leader and give them power, give them security. So, what does he want? He wants them to have no security.

55:29So, like Hitler, may his name and memory be erased, this is exactly what he did to the Jews. He really brought about a situation that, for years, not just during the night, we went and killed ourselves. Even the poor Jews couldn't save themselves. They didn't have security, they didn't have any strength, nothing. No physical strength, no spiritual strength, nothing. He really destroyed all their security. That's exactly what Pharaoh did; he destroyed. That's exactly what he did. He destroyed all the security for them. That's the work of Pharaoh. And that's the reason I'm explaining this, because it's related to our generation. Many people who don't study Torah and fulfill the Torah think that if they work 7 days instead of 6 days, then of course they'll have more money. If I work instead of a normal person, say, 8-9 hours a day, 10 hours a day, even 12 hours a day, and then take an hour or two to learn Torah, no, we’ll do it. All the time I’ll work, and then I’ll make a lot of money, and then one day when I’ll be old, I’ll learn Torah. That’s what the creation speaks. So this, what happens to these people, and I know this from experience,

56:55that you work, and even in a natural situation, yes, you can make more money. You work 7 days instead of 6, you can make more money. You work 18 hours a day instead of, say, 9 or 10 or 12, in a general way, you can make more money. But what happens? This money has no blessing. So what happens if you make $10,000 a month, $5,000 a month, or even $100,000 a month? You feel like you don't have anything. You don't have a blessing. All this money is going. It's going to donations, donations, unfortunately, to hospitals, drugs. There's no blessing in money. I know it personally. When we were in business, we made a lot of money. I told you, we made millions. Every month we made $100,000, $200,000. Every month. There was one month, in May, May 2006, I made $1.6 million a month. $1.6 million a month. I can tell you, apart from a little money that we gave for a few things, I didn't feel the money. I didn't feel it. I tell you, there is no blessing in money. When you don't hear the Torah and the mitzvot, there is no blessing in money. Everything goes to hell.

58:17I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I would live for a dollar a day. A dollar. I would buy a lot of things for a dollar from a friend who worked at my office. The office of the company. A lot of things. Half a dollar I would spend on coffee. Half a dollar I would spend on a donut. From the trucks, from those in front of the gas station. Unfortunately, I would spend, on the bus. To go. To go back. From work. I was working in Manhattan. And I was living in Staten Island. Every day I was working. God bless me. I didn't have money. I didn't have two dollars. Three dollars. To go on the bus. So I put on the MetroCard. And I know I don't have money.

59:29I know I didn't have any money, but I put on my MetroCard, and then I said, "Oh, I don't have any money," and he says, "Oh, excuse me, I have something in my bag." Then I go to the end of the bus, get off, and pray that he doesn't drive me out of the bus. How many times did it happen? It was a bit of a mess. Nice, nice that he drove me out of the bus, that he noticed that he wasn't a tipper, that he didn't notice that I was doing something, but there was no money. So I really started in a very difficult situation. But then, in a few years, we started making some money, and then it really got a little better, and I started to be independent in a big company. At the end of 2001, after September 11th, a lot of people left their careers, left their jobs, were afraid, lost money, and so on. And I was new, I didn't have a dollar in my pocket. I really got to the point where I had $35 in my pocket. And that's it. I didn't have money to pay rent, I didn't have money to eat, I didn't have money for anything. Nothing. I lived really like I was a beggar. For a long time, not for... Before the teshuvah, yes, before the teshuvah. The first time I made teshuvah, it was almost before... What? Before, before. Before. I started in the career of the stock market in 1999.

1:00:54But in the first three years, I barely did anything. Until I got to September 11, 2001. The partner who worked with me left. He lost money, he lost everything, etc. He left after he worked with me. I was left with nothing. I was left with $35 in my pocket and a debt. A debt of... I told the boss of the office that I want to continue and I want to be independent within the company, so to speak, and to give me the chance. And he asked me, what is your goal? So I was a young girl, I was between 21 and 22, but with a lot of confidence. I don't know why, but I had a lot of confidence. I don't know, but he's a simple person. He doesn't even know what he doesn't know. But I could have worked; I had a lot of ambition. I told him, "My goal is to buy your business." He's already been in the business for almost 16-17 years, and some young girl tells him, "I'm going to buy your business." So he's kind of enjoying the story.

1:02:19Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. All right. So he helped me a little bit. He didn't owe me the full amount of money, but still, he took a few thousand dollars every month. In the first months, the next six months, I would make $5,000 in commission from the clients. All the money would go to him, so I would live on nothing. I would try to work here and there, all kinds of jobs on the side.

1:03:20to make 100-200 dollars here and there to live. But I would pay a dollar every day to a guy named Dimitri in the office to buy a donut and a coffee. Then in March 2002, I started to make some money. At the end of the month, I received a commission. After I paid the boss all the payments, I had 1,000 dollars left. I was happy, as if it was a million dollars. I had no idea, as if it would be a million dollars in a few years. I got 1,000, finally, after three and a half years. When I got money in this business, I said, "Wow, wow, wow, how nice." As if it's real, it could be. The next month, 4,000 dollars remained. The month after that, about 8,000-9,000 dollars. And slowly, slowly, in November of that year, 2002, I made $117,000 a month. And then the celebration began. Every month... Yes, yes, but I did it in commission, not from my own investments. I invested money for people, the investments I made were profitable, and I earned commission on all these things. Yes, it can work, but I'm not interested in it.

1:04:48I did it for 16 years because HaKadosh Baruch Hu wants more Jews, not more businessmen. If there is no Torah, there is no flour. But there are enough businessmen in the world. And if it's not the purpose of every person in the world, I try to do a few things here and there in order to make an investment, but my main thing is the Torah and to bring people closer, because I know, and I have, Baruch Hashem, I have faith, in the name of Hashem, that one day there will be complete faith, that I say that if I fulfill what He wants, then He will fulfill what I want, and He will give an investment. And Baruch Hashem, every month there is a wedding. Kol chodesh yesh nes, nes chadash, kol chodesh. Mishpacha ozeret, ze ozer, ze ozer. Kol chodesh, Baruch Hashem, yesh nes chadash. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed the story. But I see it in myself, Baruch Hashem, that you're really...

1:05:57tries to learn as much as possible, tries to bring people closer as much as possible, to make requests, to teach, to learn, to do all these things, and you see that HaKadosh Baruch Hu, whenever He wants, you don't have a problem with development, you don't have a problem with anything. But that doesn't mean that this is the purpose of every person. Every person has his own purpose. I, Baruch Hashem, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, He expects us not only to make an effort, but to use the skills He gave us. So, Baruch Hashem, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, He gave me the skill of speaking, That, thank G-d, thank G-d, I would use it in business. Now I'm trying to use it in Torah, to give requests, to teach, and to bring people closer. And thank G-d, there are a lot of good results. People hear about Shabbat, they hear about mitzvot. So you see that HaKadosh Baruch Hu wants you. So you continue in this way. And if He wants me to be a millionaire once, He doesn't need me to work. but it's clear that there are people who also need to learn and also need to work because G-d needs to be...

1:07:04Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem, Kol Ma'asei Hashem. So, like, all these things, all the process to finish the personal story, that all this process started, we started making a lot of money in 2002. Every month came $50,000, $100,000. We bought all kinds of things: a house for the parents, a Torah book, a lot of drinks. Like, investments in the Bursa. No, I wouldn't invest a lot of things in the world, like, watches, cars, but, like, I would do a lot of investments in the business, a lot of investments in the Bursa. And we started making millions, Baruch Hashem. And a young, innocent kid who thinks he knows everything makes a lot of mistakes. And part of it, the biggest part, is that we didn't know that there's a purpose for life beyond money. I thought that as long as I give a little bit of money and help a little bit to family or friends or someone, I'm already fine. I didn't know that really... I really needed to complete the Torah. So I didn't take the test. After we made millions of dollars, in the end, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave us a test, and another test, and another test, and another test, and we didn't wake up. And in the end, He gave me the biggest test. And slowly, slowly, everything fell. Both the money, both the health, both everything.

1:08:30But that's what really made me wake up and understand that Hashem, blessed be He, acts, He does everything, He controls everything, and a person needs to wake up and understand what it really is. The Torah is a guide on how to live life. And He did all kinds of miracles that I call the Torah, Baruch Hashem. I think I told you once, I was with Rabbi Efraim Kachlon, And we will also try with Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi. All sorts of amazing stories that happened along the way. But as I told you, the business world, if I really want to go back to the business world, I can. But the Holy One, blessed be He, needs more, in the days of the Mashiach, where we are now, I believe 100% that the Mashiach can come every day. So, Hashem, if I had a million dollars or a hundred million dollars, it wouldn't help me at all. What can help me is if we strengthen ourselves in the Torah, if we return to complete teshuvah, and if we return other people to teshuvah, it will help. So, with the help of Hashem, we will do these things, and we will succeed. You help us to be healthy.

1:09:54Chas v'shalom. Chas v'shalom. Chas v'shalom. Seder. Az namshech ala im ha'parasha. V'anachnu ma. B'vadai. But that's what they're talking about, the issue of working overtime. When a person works, and there's no blessing in the money, then he knows that HaKadosh Baruch Hu doesn't want to work with him. Okay, he'll give him overtime. A person won't be, "I'm tired," it's just. But, The issue of working as a shepherd, no one wants to work, to get to a situation where he works so much, that the work is turned into the main thing, and the Torah is turned into, and to fulfill the Torah is turned into a burden, and the man, he just works, he doesn't fulfill the Torah. No, Chas V'shalom, you study Torah, you study, you pray every day, you study, even if you study a quarter of an hour a day, even if it's a quarter of an hour a day, it's a study of Torah.

1:10:57Every day, that's why I say the discs, the discs are the best thing in the world. The discs you put in the car, put in the car, put in the car—quarter of an hour, half an hour, all day—put it in the disc, what does it matter to you? Okay, so you learn Torah every day, so you learn. Okay, that's it, that's the point. Imagine that a person has Torah in his life. And he fulfills the Torah. He keeps Shabbat. He keeps mitzvot. He strengthens, Baruch Hashem. He has constant learning. Baruch Hashem, we already have strength for our learning. We are already a few months, Baruch Hashem. We already have a few videos on the internet, Baruch Hashem. Even Torah comes out. Ura. We really like what we are doing. So it enriches the many. So a person who fulfills the Torah. Our Torah enriches the many. Not just me and you. Many people really see these things and enjoy. So now a person sees. that he is fulfilling the Torah, not only that he is not working overtime, but that there is a result at the end of the day. Not all the time, but at the end of the month, there is something left.

1:12:15Yes, Yetzir HaOved. So because of that... Yes, but... Yes, Yetzer HaRa. So because of that... Yes, but... The Yetzer HaRa has a lot of money. And he will give a person money only if he doesn't learn Torah. So the way to overcome the Yetzer HaRa... 100%!

1:13:37I don't know if you can hear me. The Yetzer HaRa has a lot of money, and he will give a person money only if he doesn't learn Torah. So the way to overcome the Yetzer HaRa... 100%! Very clear. Listen, every person has to do as much as possible, both in work and in Torah. 100%. This is the creation. So how is it possible Very clear. Listen, every person has to do as much as possible, both in work and in Torah. 100%. This is the creation. So how is it possible? Barati Torah Tavlin. Barati Torah Tavlin (בראתי תורה תבלין)

1:15:00How is Torah? How is Torah? So the point is that you learn a little bit of Torah every day in the video, in the disks, or in a small book. After you pray, you do a morning prayer, five minutes, five minutes you read one page or half a page or a few words from the Mesilat Yesharim. Every day a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, you cover the Torah. You cover the Torah. You cover the Torah. A little bit more, a little bit more. A little bit more. Exactly. So now, slowly, slowly, the person comes to a state that he does exactly what is written in verse 21. When he talks about Pharaoh, he says that now there are so many children, so many Jews, we need to do something here. So he says to Yocheved and Miriam, He tells them to kill Shifra and Puah. He tells them to kill every child that they deliver, but the child that they gave birth to. Now, they didn't do it. But in the verse, it says that they didn't do it. What does it mean? Now, they came to a situation where they were afraid of HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

1:16:26That's exactly what it says in Pasuk Yud Zayin. What is it? They were afraid of HaKadosh Baruch Hu. That's why they didn't do it. Not that they, like, just because they have mercy on the people of Israel, or just because they have good intentions, or just because they, uh, it's... Yes, V'ter'ena hameyaldot et HaElohim. Pasuk Yud Zayin. V'tire'na hameyaldot et ha'Elohim. They were afraid of God, that's Pasuk Yud Zayin. And then another Pasuk, Pasuk Chaf Alef. Vayehi ki yare'u hameyaldot et ha'Elohim, vaya'as lahem batim. So he says, they didn't kill the children because they were afraid of God. So God says to them, because you were afraid of Me, I built them houses. And they will see, because they were afraid of Me, and He made them houses. He made them houses. It was not a normal thing for slaves to have beautiful houses. But what houses did He build for them? Not just physical houses in this world, with a beautiful house worth 5 million dollars. Not just that. No. He made them houses for the future. Why? Yocheved, the mother of Moshe, Aharon, and Miriam. Three prophets.

1:17:53Three prophets. No one like Moshe. There won't be a prophet like Moshe anymore. Aharon. This is the blessing that comes from him. All the blessings of the Kohanim that are in the Siddur every day or in Ashkenazi communities once a year on holidays. Blessings of the Kohanim come from Aharon HaKohen. Aharon HaKohen, Miriam—Miriam herself was the grandmother of Bezalel. Bezalel built the Aron HaKodesh, something that he had an amazing wisdom for, something above nature. The Holy One gave him special wisdom. They say that building the Aron HaKodesh was like building the whole world. Something... No, no, Bezalel, I've already taught him a few parshiot. It was his grandmother. But she was also connected to David HaMelech. One of her granddaughters got married to the son of David HaMelech. So you have two sides. The daughter, the sons. So the house that Hashem gave them, both to Miriam and to Yocheved, to her mother,

1:19:02Bayit ba'olam hazeh, bayit ba'olam haba. Lama? Yirat Shamayim. Yirat Shamayim, achi chashuv mehakol. Lama? But if it's a connection Only the love of God, without the grace of God, the love of God, the connection is zero. It's nothing. It's not a real connection. There is no such thing as the love of God without the grace of God. Why? You can't love something you don't know. And if you know God, straight to the place you are afraid. Straight to the place. Do you know Hashem? What is Hashem at all? How does He manage everything? Everything is from heaven, except for yirat shamayim. Everything, your transportation is from heaven. If a person is beautiful, ugly, fat, rich, handsome, whatever you want, everything is from heaven, except for yirat shamayim. This is what the Chazal tell us. So when a person works on his yirat shamayim, when he knows Hashem more and more and more...

1:20:28So slowly he sees that you don't have to work 700 hours a day. You can work normally. If I, with the rest of my time, I'm not just playing 6-6 with the guys. I'm a little with the family and I'm learning Torah. Part of the time is work, my effort. Part of the time is to complete the Torah that Shlomo came to. And part of the time is to complete the Torah, to learn the Torah. Every day, a little time. A quarter of an hour, a half hour, an hour, two hours, every day. Chazak u'Baruch. Exactly. So as long as a person works on himself to get to a situation where he really has Gan Eden, he wins everything. And the only way to get to Gan Eden is with Torah. So it's one, build the other. So slowly, you, Baruch Hashem, you learn. It's not that you don't learn. You learn. Slowly, slowly, a little more, a little more, a little more. Just remember to yourself, if I will work or not work, if I will do another hour or less hour,

1:21:30Ba'avoda ze lo yimoyim. Ma yimoyim im ha'pochot sha'ot sha'a b'Torah. Lama b'gash HaKadosh Baruch Hu kvar kava li, ma ha'parnasa tihiye kvar b'Rosh Hashanah. Az im ani avod ad chamesh o ad shesh, ze lo yaseh liyot parnasa. Ha'extra hishtadlut, ze lo yaseh liyot parnasa. Chamesh, ta' mesayem? Lo rak ata, achi. Lo rak ata, achi. Kol b'nei adam. All of them, all of them have it. Don't worry, they'll be fine. The Holy One, even the female, the female, all of her food, the average female, she lived for six months. After six months, she died. After six months, after one day, the first day of her life, she adds the food, for her whole life, after one day. But you will never see some woman sitting and relaxing. There is no such thing. She works every day. Even she has this burden. But what can we learn here? First of all, to work on it well. We can learn from the woman, as Shlomo HaMelech told us. But HaKadosh Baruch Hu, if He is careful, yes, to be careful, to be a person who works. Yes, to be, also in Torah, also in work.

1:22:59But he also tells us something else in the same way. If HaKadosh Baruch Hu cares for us so much that she doesn't do Torah and mitzvot, doesn't fulfill Torah and mitzvot, why doesn't she worry about you that you sleep every day for an hour or two? Why? Why didn't He take care of His sons, the righteous, and His daughters, the righteous? Why? Why didn't He? He took care of Nemala, He took care of Zvuv, He took care of Chazir, a hundred-year-old, who was only bad in this life, He also took care of her, so she would have food. Why didn't He take care of us? Like Iyov, Iyov, the book of Iyov, he thought that Hashem made a mistake. He says, maybe the Holy One thought that I was an oiyev. Not an oiyev, because oiyev, the word oiyev, and oyev, they have the same spelling. They write the same letters, only they change the order of the letters. So when the Holy One answered him, He said to him, I know the name of each of your hairs. So probably, every hair that a person has in his body has a special name. And we learn that

1:24:11every hair has its own hole. There was a story, one Kohen, he came to his wife one day, he said to her, listen, I have to leave the place, Yerushalayim, to do business somewhere else. So he says to her, what about your business? What was his business? He was a hair checker. In those days, it was more sacred in the world, more things, things that were not so normal for us. I will check the hair of a person, and even the one who cuts the hair, and all kinds of things like that. So what does your business say? No, no, I will explain to you what to do. You need to check the hair of every person that comes and check that there will not be two hairs coming out of the same hole. that grow from the same hole, from the same root. She says to him, "Why?" He says to her, "If there are two hairs that come out of the same root, then the person will be blind in that place." So she says to him, "Your ears need to hear what your lips say. You tell me,"

1:25:38that G-d will take care of every hair on your head, so that it will grow by itself. It will not be divided with anyone; it will not be associated with anyone. And if there is a case, possibly a case, that two hairs are associated, the person is already causing problems. So if G-d cares for every hair that has its own hair transplant, why do you have to go to another city to do a hair transplant? He can't do it without you here. If He cares for the hair, why doesn't He care for you? Do you understand? So that's the point. Now, the standard... Can I say it again? No, no. There will be all kinds of chayot near and far from the city.

1:26:42Yes, yes, yes, listen, you can say a lot of things about every person of Israel in every situation, we have an answer. Now you can say, what, the people of Israel saw, saw the words of the Holy One, Blessed be He, and heard His words. What, what, they forgot? The day after that they made an egel? How can that be? We need to understand that a curse, the same curse that caused the first person in the world to commit a sin, causes us to commit a sin every day. It causes us to forget; it causes us to be tired, to be lazy. And all the things we are not lazy or tired of anything, except the Torah. The Torah always has problems. Why? Because the Torah is the only platform That really destroys him; kills him on the spot. So that's the thing. Just to remind ourselves: make a break. Make a break for yourself, or something to remind yourself. It doesn't matter if I work until 5 or 6. The hour to work in a standard way—normal hours—that's fine. But the extra overtime, you don't need. Why don't you need it? You say the promotion is for me and for the workers.

1:28:03Already from Heaven, Hashem is taking care of the gentiles. And little by little, you will see that the more you overcome this bad inclination, the easier it will be to overcome it. You will have more Torah, and you will be more content with yourself. And with the help of Hashem, you will also have more money. So make yourself a memo every day. Look, write on a sheet. The extra hour, the overtime, it's just a mess. Why is it... The promotion has to come in the same way, it doesn't matter. I know it's hard. I didn't get to the point where I tell you these things at night. It's a lot of years, it's a lot of effort. I'm telling you, I came from a different world. A world where to be a standard month was $150,000-$200,000. And now, to close the month, it's not even 5% of it. You understand? It's a different world. But, everything is possible through the Torah. Everything.

1:29:23You understand? It's a different world. But everything is possible through the Torah. Everything. We just need to listen to what G-d says, and through the warning, through the fear of G-d. It's not just to be afraid of being locked under a bed and not wanting to go out. Fear is when we think of G-d all the time. Every step we take, we think, what does G-d think of this step? Does He agree that we will work another hour, or does He not agree? Does this step, this thing, come from G-d, or does it come from the Torah? Who wants me to work another hour? Yetzer Hara or Hashem? Hashem doesn't want me to work another hour. He wants me to learn Torah. I've already worked 9 hours today. Yetzer Hara wants me to work 24 hours. He'll even give me the strength. It's clear that it's not easy. That's why we're learning it. If it was easy, you don't have to learn it anymore. I remind myself of most things. Why? Because there is a situation where there is a lack of bitachon, a lack of emunah, a lack of chochmah. And a person needs to go back on things all the time because of the bad outcome. Every time you don't go back on it, he suddenly says, no, no, it's what you thought once, it was relevant once, it's not relevant today.

1:30:43Do you understand? That's why all the verses, all the parashiyot, all the Torah, we have to learn it every day because it reminds us of what we already know. It's like a straight line. In the beginning of the book, in the beginning of the book, he says... Yes. If you want to get up, you can say Shabbat Shalom. It's not a good year, it's not a good year. It's a holiday that is very bad, a very bad day for the Jews. It's New Year's Eve. There were Jewish fathers on that day. So, no, you don't have to celebrate Shabbat Shalom. You can say Shabbat Shalom because Shabbat is in a few more hours. Or you can just not celebrate. It's not... Yes, not to celebrate. If someone sends me something like that, Shabbat Shalom, it's not...

1:32:05Not our year. Unfortunately, listen, before we told you, we also celebrate this holiday. It's not our birthday, it's not... I didn't celebrate the holiday in May. You're right about me, I'm short. In May, I didn't celebrate this holiday, not that I didn't hear Torah or Midbar, and I didn't open it, I didn't celebrate this holiday, I didn't feel anything. I would always say, friends, I would say, hey, it's Tel Aviv, it's right in the mouth, I would say... Okay, okay, that's good too. It's ambition, ambition is good. Ambition is very good. Yes, yes, yes. Every day a person needs to make an answer to the sins he has done, and the sins he does, and in the name of Hashem he will not do. Yes, but in any case, a person continues to make mistakes. There is no tzaddik who does not make mistakes.

1:33:29Yes, yes, yes. Every day a person needs to do teshuvah for the sins he has done, and the sins he does, and in the name of Hashem he will not do. Yes, but in any case, a person continues to make mistakes. There is no tzaddik who does not make mistakes. Yes, we make mistakes, and in any case, it's good to continue to do teshuvah for all the mistakes we made once, because not everything is solved in a second. There are things that are not so easy if it's a big mistake. Yes, so all the time, all the time we need to do teshuvah for the mistakes we made, and with the help of Hashem, we won't repeat them. But to reflect on the mistakes we made, that's the best answer in the world. Really to reflect, and there are even mistakes that you can cry about, if we know what they are. And I'll explain to you a really amazing story that I read recently, something amazing, what it really means, the city of heaven, and its price.

1:34:51something, a true story. It's clear that you know who the Rothschild family is, right? So, the Rothschild family were really righteous, really righteous. So, one of them, I don't remember his specific name, but one of them was a banker. I don't know if it was the father of the Rothschilds who built the whole empire or one of the sons, but it's not important. One of the people, one of the Rothschild family, was a banker, very rich. And every day, it was clear, he was keeping Torah and mitzvot. And every day, he would leave the bank for two hours, and no one knew where he was going. No, not the whole family, but there were some who were very religious. Yes, yes. I don't know. In America, Israel, I don't know. It's better that each one of them... No, I'm telling you, the family that started in the beginning, the first one, was a wise student. The first Rothschild was a wise student. Yes, he received a special blessing from his rabbi, he did a great deed, and he was a wise student. He wasn't from Israel. He was from the south of the mitzvot.

1:36:21So he or one of his associates, I'm not sure, anyway, every day he would leave the bank for two hours. And you know that the boss leaves for two hours, it's like, what is it, what does he do? Every day, every day, two hours. Every day he leaves, let's say, leaves at one o'clock, returns at three o'clock, exactly on the minute. Every day. So one of the askanim... He was really interested in this. He followed him. And... he followed him and followed him. He saw that he was coming to a cemetery. What, a cemetery? Who died? What's going on? He followed him a little bit more inside the cemetery, and he saw that Rothschild entered a grave, a grave where there's already a hole in the ground. An empty grave, there is no one in it. But Rothschild entered inside the grave. And inside the grave he prays, and he says to himself, "You have nothing to be angry about. You have nothing to be angry about, because this is your end. This is your end, like any other person. So you have nothing to be angry about."

1:37:45And this is a person who really worked on the issue of standing up, which is the best position of all, what Iggeret HaRambam wrote, and also in Chazal, and so on. He really stood up for it and reminded himself how important it is to know where you came from and where you're going. And where you're going. Yes. So... Yes, exactly, strong and blessed. So he would really do it every day, just to remind himself where he is going, that you don't have, what is your darwin? You have money, big deal. You have this, you have that, what do you really have? At the end, the worms will eat you, what are you at all? So this is the matter of the size of the camel, and the size of the camel... Yes, yes, correct. Yes, that's right. But in any case, the soul moves the body. But where does the measure of anavah come from? The Ramban says that if a person works on the worst middah in the world, which is anger, he already has the measure of anavah. And if he has the measure of anavah, he will not have a downfall.

1:39:13So we, who work on ourselves every day, who study Torah and do all the things we do, every day you remind yourself where I came from, where I'm going, who really causes me to come, who really pays the bills, is it my power or is it really Hashem's power? Who really does all these things? And slowly, slowly, we also become more calm. We also become more compassionate, which is better for the family, better for life in general, and happier, happier. And you also build a constant connection with Hashem. Why? Because you know Him. You know what it is in general. And slowly, slowly, we... Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

1:40:38It's considered something not positive, negative. To be a flea? What? Are you all interested? What flea are you? What are you? Who are you? What are you? Are you kidding me? Yes, yes, a person also needs to have security. To be an anav does not mean to be nice and just that everyone is... But if you tell a person that he does not know the Torah, you tell him, no, no, anava is something important. Then, a person who does not know, who is an am ha'aretz, who does not know what his life is, he says to him, what anava, what do you want everyone to be? He thinks in a negative way; he thinks that a person who is an anav is just nothing. He does not know that this anav person is greater than everyone else. Yes, it's fake. Yes, it's fake. It's not real. It's fake. Yes, yes. It's nonsense. It's not...

1:42:06Yes, it's a life sentence. It's a life sentence. And yes, this person, he has to pay a big bill. It's not, it's the worst thing there is. Yes, yes, it's a problem. This is a person who has a big problem. He doesn't have a minimal understanding of what it really is. Unfortunately, there are those. Yes, there are those. So I'm asking him, with love, where does the person come from? The person doesn't come from his friends or his colleagues or anything like that. The person comes from his family and his wife. So if you are a person who is in love with your wife, How can a person know if he is really a human being? How can a person know if he is really a human being? How can he know? He knows if he enters the house. In fact, the woman who was talking to us today said, the children come, they knock on the door. In fact, he is a human being.

1:43:28Yes, but he also needs to know the results of the children. Now, there are many who also play it, who love their father and mother, but because whenever they play it, their father and mother buy them a car. Yes, good children. Yes, good children, who also earn good grades, learn Torah, and things like that. Yes, 100%. Everything comes from... Of course, the woman needs to consider her husband like a king. And he needs to consider his wife like a queen. He needs to love his wife as he loves himself. No, he needs to respect her more than himself. Respect the honor. Yes, love is the same thing as him, but the honor is more than him, more than himself, more than his body. So, peace of mind, peace of mind is a very important thing. What is honor? Honor is how he appreciates her, how he behaves towards her. Honor for a woman is something very important. He can't, like... Honor, if he has a girlfriend, a husband, a wife, a husband, a wife...

1:44:52It happened to me when I was a child, when I was in high school, and there was a lot of noise in the neighborhood. It was very noisy. Yes. What is the secret that you know that the relationship between the man and the woman is the best? So, one of them, there are a few things that are clear, but one of them is that both of them, now, when a person is alone, he is one. And when a woman is alone, she is one. But the point of the relationship between the man and the woman is that they are both... add one to the other, and the person himself becomes better because of his wife, and she becomes better because of her husband. So instead of it being 1 plus 1 equals 2, it becomes 1 plus 1 equals 3, 4, 5, 10. It's not like, if it's 1 plus 1 equals 2, then it really means that I'm equal, equal, that I'm the same thing. Nothing will change. Unfortunately, sometimes it's 1 plus 1, and it becomes 0, or even 1. So like, when...

1:46:19Bring the best out of each other. If it was easy, everyone would do it. If it was easy, there wouldn't be an 80% divorce rate. If it was easy. Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, it's clear. You have to understand that it's the creation that comes all the time, but... It's strong and clear, exactly. But when you do it, you fulfill the Torah. So it's 100%, it's good, it's good, it's good. It's more important than going to the shul.

1:47:40It's good to go to the Knesset, it's good to pray, but Shalom Bayit is a very big thing, it's very important, you're fulfilling the Torah. If I tell you I want Shalom Bayit with me, and they already said Shalom Bayit, or in the middle of the day, then what am I doing? What am I doing? No, it's not illegal work. Listen, the first thing, if you go to the Knesset, and there's a building there, even if they're in another part, they've already advanced, and again, you do 18, you're fine, 100%, it's like you prayed with them at the same time. If you pray in a building, 100%. But Shalom Bayit is more important than anything. It's something, to have Shalom Bayit, you help your wife, you do... And he said to me, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you,

1:49:00Change the chair, change the chair, don't sit next to me. No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yes, yes, it's okay, it's okay. Yes, there are some people who are a little bit nudnik, unfortunately. What can I do? No, I'm just a guest, a guest, I'm not here. Yes, exactly. Yes, very good. By the way, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yes, yes, it's okay. Yes, yes, it's okay. Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yes, yes, it's okay. Exactly, that's how you do it, that's how you overcome hardship. It's very good, you have very good middot, thank G-d, you have very good middot. I came to the pulmonologist, he says, and this is what he said, he really says, this is the thing, he says, this is the way, this is the way, he says, all the sefarim here, he doesn't stand on the thing, he says, this is the way, this is the way, he says, how do you get up, how do you get up, he was deep, as far as I can tell. Baruch Hashem, tov me'od, ze kiddush Hashem. Tov me'od.

1:50:27He learns the whole Torah. So sometimes you see, you read something in the Torah, and you never read it, but suddenly you understand it on the spot, and sometimes you even have a few understandings, and it's like above the simple. It's like you've already read it. How do you connect? Because you've already learned it many years ago when you were in your mother's womb. What you learn, you remember. You remember what you learned. There are two styles. There are two styles. There are two styles. There are two styles. There are two styles. There are two styles. Halvai al kol Am Yisrael kach, shelanu neti tzara shei ha-televizya, aval le-tzareinu ze...

1:51:48Baruch Hashem, this is not your tikkun. This means that this is not your tikkun. How can a person know what his tikkun is? What is the hardest for him, exactly. So that's the thing. Now, when a person knows that it's hard for him to learn, that's his tikkun. It's hard for him, all kinds of things, that's what's his tikkun in the world. And that's the main thing. And also, like, the sky and the wind, one is related to the other. That's why here, also, the weekly portion tells us, also, On the matter of the heavenly city, what is the result of the heavenly city? It is also caused in this world and also in the next world for Yocheved and Miriam. And also, when Moshe saw the snake for the first time and he realized that it was from the Holy One, it says, "And Moshe hid his face because he was afraid to look at God." ma'abit el Elohim, yashar na makom pachad, hu hikir ma ze Elohim b'chal, hu yada ma ze ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu, hu yada et Hashem ha-Mephorash, alot po hu hevin, she ze kvar mashehu me'al ha-teva, me'al ha-ze, yashar pachad. No, ken lamed, ken lamed, Moshe, Moshe, hu lo gara, hu lo nola, hu nola daru, ba le Bat-ya, Bat-ya be'emet, hayta tzadeket gdola.

1:53:10that while she was coming to the water, she was actually doing the giyur, and the name Bat-ya is not the name that her father gave her; it's the name that her Father gave her in the heavens. The Holy One blessed her with the name Bat-ya, the daughter of Hashem. She saw that... how many women were there? Women? What do you mean, women? I don't know about all of them, but...

1:54:11Okay, okay. Batya, Batya, not only was she a womanizer, but Batya is one of the ten women who didn't die. She went to the next world alive. That's... No, she was born. She was born, like, before Matan Torah, but, like, she left the avodah zarah, and she said it's better to be...

1:55:13a daughter of Hashem, a part of this people who are slaves. It is better to be a part of the people of slaves who have a true God than to be a queen of a foreign kingdom. Because Pharaoh did not have children. He did not have a child, so she had to receive the kingdom. And when she saw that Pharaoh was all a big lie, and everything that he simply said—that he himself is God—he saw that, because he didn't, he told everyone that he doesn't do his needs, he doesn't go to the services. So he made a law that every day at a certain time in the morning, early in the morning, at 4 in the morning, no one is allowed to leave the house. Why? Because he goes to the river and does his needs in the river in the morning. Because of that, all the time when in the next week's parasha, It seems that every time Moshe Rabbeinu came to meet Pharaoh, except for the first time, he came to him in the morning. In the morning, early in the morning. Why? To show him that we know that you are nothing at all. You are nothing. We catch you in the middle when you go to do your needs. Yes. That's how he convinced the Egyptians that he was a liar.

1:56:39No, it's a new sheep, anyway. He told everyone that he's not going to the services. No, a sheep that doesn't know Moshe is a different sheep. A sheep that doesn't know Yosef is a different sheep. A sheep that doesn't know Yosef, yes. Yes, it's written, a dead sheep, a dead sheep, yes. But the thing here is that he told everyone that he was an alien. He told everyone that he was turned into a foreigner by himself. Why? How did they believe him? Because he said, look, you're going to the services. I'm not going to the services. I'm not a person. But this law that he's going to the services at a time when no one is allowed to be outside... But it's clear that the Holy One knows, and He sent Moshe exactly at this time to meet him in the morning, in the middle of his going to the services, that right on the spot he would feel comfortable, and he would be under pressure, and all these things, and he would see that it was really a shame and a disgrace. But also, Batya, his daughter, knew that he was a shepherd, knew that he was going to the services, that he was a man.

1:57:50And she saw that all the work she did was bad. So she met the Holy One, blessed be He. But not only did she meet the Holy One, blessed be He. She took a step. When she took the light, she took the light. She took the step. It was like her salvation. Her salvation. When someone dies, they go to the mikveh. So she went to the mikveh, and at the same time, God also blessed her and gave her her name, and also gave her the great gift, which is to raise Moshe Rabbeinu. But Moshe Rabbeinu, he didn't raise her from the beginning. She found him when he was already three months old, and then Moshe Rabbeinu, he wasn't big from the goats. So Miriam came and said to her, i want to bring you someone from the Hebrew people who will nurse the child. So she said to her, "Yes, yes. Yes, it's a verse from Zayin." And she said, "Go," so the girl went and called the child's mother.

1:59:05So this is another thing that shows that when a person makes the will of Hashem, he gets rewarded in this world and also in the next world. So what happened? So also, Moshe's mother, Yocheved, also got her son back for a few more years. She raised him for a few more years. She taught him the Torah, taught him Judaism, where he came from. And also, she got money. She got money, and you tell her to call his mother. And you tell her, Bat Par'o, take this child and give him to me. No, she won't know. She won't know in the beginning. Maybe later she'll know, but not in the beginning. And you tell her, and I'll give you your salary. Like, I'll give you money to give this child. So if she knew that she's really his mother, then you wouldn't give her money. Do you understand? So now, how do we know that Moshe knew who he was, and he knew the Torah, and he knew this? Two things. The first thing, he says. So it's clear that he knows that he's a Jew.

2:00:30Second, how did he kill the main Egyptian? He killed him with the Shem HaShem. He said the Shem HaShem HaMeforash. So not only does he know that he is Jewish or Hebrew, he also knows Torah. He knows that the Shem HaMeforash. And that's how he killed the Egyptian. What is the Shem HaMeforash? Yud-Kei? The Shem HaMeforash that Yehoshua Mystika does is more than Yud-Kei-Vav-Kei. Yes. More than that. There are names, it seems to me, 70 or something like that. And a person who knows them, he can do miracles and wonders. Things beyond nature. Yes, but when he heard that Moshe killed the Egyptian,

2:01:32And he heard this thing and sought to kill Moshe. He sent to kill him. And he almost killed him, really. It was a curse. He tried to cut his head off. But when he tried to cut his head off with the great sword, HaKadosh Baruch Hu made a miracle and turned his sword into stone. Hard as stone. And then He made a miracle. HaKadosh Baruch Hu sent an angel to search for Moshe. Then they thought that Moshe was in a cave. And it gave Moshe time to run and go to Kush, to the land of Kush. Yes, he was in a cave. He was in a cave. And then he left. He went to the land of Kush. He was there for 40 years. And then he went to Midian, which is verse 15. So really... At Pharaoh's. a short time, maybe a day, two days, something like that. A very short time. I don't know the exact time, but a very short time. And then he fled to the land of Kush. And there he was the king of Kush. 40 years. 40 years, yes. And then he went to... What do you mean 40 years? It's the 40 years that we're talking about. 40 years. No, 40 years we were in the desert.

2:03:00But we don't know anything about Kush. We don't know anything about Kush. Oh no, we know, we know a lot. The reason that now, he went to, I don't know, then he died. When he came to Cush, he saw that the king of Cush and all his people were outside the city, and they couldn't enter the city, and he befriended them and said to them, why can't you enter the city? So they told him that they had a helper, who they call Bil'am, Bil'am HaRasha, who worked for them. He told them, he was from the Rephaim, to help them, and he has strength, and he told them that we... The Egyptians came to attack us, so he told us all to go to war because Cush and Egypt were enemies. Yes, yes, yes. It's the same Bil'am. Bil'am was like the enemy of Moshe. He already tried to kill Moshe when he was 3 years old.

2:04:28He was a prophet, not a wise man, a prophet. He was a wise man with no hope for the next world. But he was a prophet. He had a certain power, which in the Bible says, that he knew the moment that the Holy One, blessed be He, was angry, and this knowledge gave him the power that he could ask for what he wanted from the Holy One, even to curse someone or something like that, to hurt them. So Moshe didn't have that knowledge. It was like he had a power that wasn't for Moshe. And G-d saved him and brought him to the world, because the goyim, at least if they didn't have a prophet... Yes, exactly. So now, Bilaam caused the king to leave the kingdom, to leave everything and go to war, but there was no war; there was no one. And when they wanted to return to the city, So they saw that Bilaam had made some construction, and there were huge insects all around the city. So no one could get close to the city. They were there for a long time. Then Moshe Rabbeinu came there, and after a while, he had an idea. He said, "Tell each of your soldiers..."

2:05:54She'll catch a chicken. A big chicken that's like crazy. And she'll convince it to be her own chicken. And after that... What kind of chicken? Phoenix? No, Stork. I don't know how to say Stork in Hebrew. Stork is... How do you say Stork in Hebrew? It's like a chicken that eats meat. Not a chicken that eats only meat. What kind of chicken? No, no. A phoenix? No, I don't think it's a phoenix. It looks like it's... What does the bird mean? Is it an eagle or a phoenix? To tell you the truth, I don't know. It could be real or not real. I don't know. Okay. But tell me, every... Every animal that catches a bird will believe that it's its bird, that it will return to it. ואז אחרי שכולם מאמינים את הציפור, שכל אחד ירעיב את הציפור שלושה ימים. למה שלושה ימים? בגלל שאחרי שלושה ימים היא תהיה רעבה מאוד, אז היא לא כל כך תפחד את מי היא תוקפת. אז בגלל שציפור כרגיל יש לה קצת שכל, שהיא לא סתם תוקפת כל אחד, לא תוקפת אריה. אריה יאכל אותה.

2:07:21But when a bird is very angry, it doesn't think so much, so everyone released their birds, and then they attacked all the insects, and then they killed them, and then everyone went back to the farm. Bilam fled. But in a short time, the king became sick and died, exactly after his son was born. But his son was a baby. So all of his country, all of it, they said, the baby can't be, the baby can't be a king. What will he say to us? Gaga, we need a king, what can we do? So who will be the king? The person who helped us, saved us from Moshe. So also he will be our king. And also we will give him the most beautiful woman we have, who is really the wife of the king who died. So we will give him the wife, the queen, who was the wife of the king. But Moshe knew that he was not allowed to be with her. So for 40 years he stood in the trial and did not touch her. Yes, for 40 years he did not touch her. And I'm telling you, she was a beautiful woman, not just some old 90-year-old lady.

2:08:50David. Yes. Yes, he gave her to someone else, a righteous person. Yes. He didn't say his name. Yes, God bless him. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And she was also allowed to do it. The fire of the fire was not allowed to... Yes, and she was also allowed to do it. Yes, the same thing now with Moshe. For 40 years he stood in trial, he didn't touch her. After 40 years, she says, her son, this baby, grew up, and now she has a little more security. She says, okay, listen, you see that we don't have children. There won't be another king, because this king doesn't want to touch me.

2:10:14so if he doesn't want to go with me, because he's from the Hebrew people, he doesn't want to be part of our people, really, then at least they would have given the crown to a person who is coming to him, my son. Then they really asked Moshe, and the Holy One gave them fear. He gave them fear from Moshe, so they wouldn't have killed such a person. But... Yes, but no, he didn't scare her, he didn't scare her at all. And he didn't touch her for 40 years... Yes, but he doesn't know that it's not the people of Yisrael. It's not his people. It's Kush. Yes, but he can't deprive them. The people will kill him. Because it's Kush, not the people of Yisrael. Only if he deprives the whole people.

2:11:16So anyway, to finish, after 40 years, he said, "Okay, I won't do this, I'll leave." The Holy One gave them fear that they wouldn't leave him, and gave us the honor to leave. He came to Midian, after the whole incident with the children of Yitro, that he saved them. Yitro invited him... ...Yitro threw Moshe into the well. Ten years. Ten years he was in the well, without food, without drinking from Yitro. But Tzipporah, Yitro's daughter, every day she would go to her father Zohar, and she would bring to Moshe the good news. She would give him food and drink. After ten years, after ten years... Yitro threw Moshe into the well. Ten years. Ten years he was in the well, without food, without drinking from Yitro. But Tzipporah, Yitro's daughter, every day she would go to her father Tzohar, and she would bring to Moshe the good news. She would give him food and drink. After ten years, after ten years,

2:12:43she asks her father, "Let's check the person you threw in the well 10 years ago." He says, "No, he died a long time ago. What? What do we check? Do we see bones? You didn't give him food for 10 years." She says, "You don't know. Who knows? Let's check." She knows he's alive. So he goes there, sees Moshe, wonders what's going on here. How could this be? So he sees something abnormal. so he took him out of the Beit HaAsurim, and now they were going in the area, and talking, and another Midrash, in the middle of the area of Yitro, there was the mateh, that HaKadosh Baruch Hu brought, on Shabbat Eve, bein haShemashot, that mateh, that the first man had it. The same mateh that was turned into a snake. The same mateh that was for the first man, for Noach, for Avraham. And then, after our fathers, this mateh got stuck in the ground, and no one could take it out of the ground. If it didn't reach it, so all the time, it was a very beautiful mateh. And

2:14:09Yitro saw him and said, "Every person tried to take it out; no one could get it out. He made a kind of competition and said, 'Whoever can take this mateh out of the ground, I will give him my daughter, whichever daughter he wants.'" So Moshe didn't know what this mateh was. He saw this beautiful mateh in the middle of the ground, and in those days it was customary for every person to have a mateh, to walk with a mateh. So he saw this mateh lying on the ground, and he took it out, without hesitation. He didn't think it was a big deal. And immediately Yitro looked at him and said, what's going on here? How can this be? Thousands of people tried to take it out, but no one succeeded. He took it out like it was nothing. Then he saw that this was not normal, and because of this, in the next verse, verse 21, it is written that Yitro asked Moshe to put the mateh down, and then he gave his daughter Tzipporah to Moshe. So now, he was in a hurry. How did he go from a hurry to get married to Tzipporah? Because he promised her, he had to stand by it. Even though Yitro was a stranger, he was a righteous man, he loved the truth.

2:15:21So, like, when he heard from... He became a Jew. After that, he became a Jew. He was one of the most famous gerim there is. He even has a parashah. A parashah of Yitro. Before he became a Jew. Yes, before he became a Jew. Before he became a Jew, he was an oved avodah zarah. Because he was... Exactly. She had aided Moses and saved his life. But it is written that they will part from him at the end. At the end, yes. The Holy One asked Moses to part from his wife. He was the only person in history that the Holy One asked to part from his wife because the Holy One wanted them to talk face to face all the time. As if he would be ready all the time, and he cannot be ready all the time if he has a wife. He was on a high level, and he wasn't the only person in history that the Holy One told to leave his wife. And because of that, Miriam spoke lashon hara about Moses, without really understanding that. What do you mean, we're also prophets, why did he leave his wife? What, we're not prophets?

2:16:32What? He thinks of himself. He makes a mistake. It's shalom bayit. It's like shalom bayit. So the Holy One punished her and gave her a curse. He said to her, no, he is not like you. He is not like Moshe. You are prophets, yes, but he is not like Moshe. So He punished her. He punished her. He gave her a week of a curse until Moshe prayed for her. The whole Jewish people prayed for Miriam so that she would be healed from the curse. It didn't work. Aaron, the Kohen, came to Moshe and said to him, please pray for our sister. Moshe Rabbeinu did one verse. One verse, he gave life to the place. Exactly. One verse, a prayer of Moshe Rabbeinu against everyone. No, it's written. No, no, it's what's written. I'm telling you, I'm not inventing it. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Listen. Moshe Rabbeinu did one verse. One verse, he gave life to the place. Exactly. One verse, a prayer of Moshe Rabbeinu against everyone. No, it's written. No, no, it's what's written. I'm telling you, I'm not inventing it. The prayer of Moshe is not normal. He prays 515 times to enter the Land of Israel until Hashem said to him, "Rav Lach." "Rav Lach," He said to him. Why "Rav Lach"? He said to him, "Because if it reaches 516, I have to give it to him. And I don't want to give it to him." He said "Rav Lach." "Rav Lach." That's what He said to him. "Rav Lach." Yes, yes, "Rav Lach."

2:17:56The prayer of Moshe is not normal. He prays 515 times to enter the Land of Israel until Hashem said to him, "Rav Lach." "Rav Lach," He said to him. Why "Rav Lach"? He said to him, "Because if it reaches 516, I have to give it to him. And I don't want to give it to him." He said, "Rav Lach." "Rav Lach." That's what He said to him. "Rav Lach." Yes, yes, "Rav Lach." Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lecha, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach, Rav Lach So there is a verse in the book of Tehillim, in Tehillim 45, Mem Hei, verse 14, Yud Dalet.

2:19:04and it shows to a person what we just talked about, that every woman who is mentioned in the Torah is mentioned as righteous because of her chastity. Sixty percent of all the commandments for a woman relate to chastity. A woman who is not chaste has no balance. She does not fix herself. She has to come back again if there is an opportunity. A woman who is not chaste cannot be righteous. One of the sources, 60 or 90 percent? 60 percent, like you can't pass the test without being a virgin for a woman. No woman, no woman percent, 90. It could even be 90, but I say 60, like you know, a man knows that if let's say it's 50-50, then it's 50 percent. You understand? But 60 percent, a woman who is not a virgin, she has no chance of passing the test. So there's a verse, it says, every woman, Bat Melech, Pnima. Mimishbetzot Zahav Levusha. What does that mean? With all her honor, she covered him, Pnima. And when she did that, when she did that, she was better than Mishbetzot Zahav Levusha. What does that mean, Mishbetzot Zahav Levusha? Like the great Kohen. Better than that, Isha Tzanua. Better than the great Kohen. Something like what the Rabbi said. It's...

2:20:33They are 14. They are Yud-Dalet. Yes, yes. This is the call of the king. Inside the golden robes. The golden robes are like the throne. The throne of the great Kohen. The gold that was on the great Kohen, all of it, was gold. Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly, yes, correct. So all the gold that was on the great Kohen, it says, the woman of Tzniut, who carries everything inside, is better than that, better than the great Kohen. His sons were there. His two sons are considered. So he got two instead of one, he got more. He got more. Baruch Hashem. Baruch Hashem. Baruch Hashem. Baruch Hashem. Baruch Hashem. Baruch Hashem.

2:21:54Amen, amen, amen, amen. B'ezrat Hashem, b'ezrat Hashem. B'ezrat Hashem. Baruch Adonai l'olam. Amen, amen. Shabbat Shalom. Shabbat Shalom, brother. Shabbat Shalom. All the best. All the best. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye. Thank you for watching. Be healthy. Shabbat Shalom u'Mevorach. B'ezrat Hashem, we'll talk soon.
