Brit Yitzchak At Rabbi Yaron Reuven House

0:13First of all, thank you, everybody, for coming. I really appreciate it. It's wonderful to have you. It's wonderful to have a simcha in the crazy world that we live in, you know. I always tell people, when you deal with kiruv, one of the downsides... they hear a lot of bad news because you hear news from everybody all over the world. Unfortunately, there's a lot of tzarot, there's a lot of problems everywhere, whether it's people going through their own personal struggles or the world at large is going through struggles. You have right now the Israeli elections, and it looks like everyone is an enemy, and know it's like everyone is treating each other as if they are mortal enemies. The Jews are treating each other worse than the Palestinians are treating the Jews, and the Jews are treating the Palestinians. It's unbelievable. We're so confused that sometimes you're not really sure what's religious anymore and what's not religious. For example,

1:25Some of the things that are happening just in the last few days. The articles in the United Kingdom, in Manchester over there. Several articles against one of the most well-known Kiruv rabbis in the world. Why? The religious community decided they don't want him to come. Or really some people in the religious community. It's not really the religious community, because the religious community love him. And the secular community love him. But there are a few who decided they want to make a lot of noise. So it's confusing. It's confusing for people—who's religious, who's not religious. Every other day, you hear some guy with a beard did some crime that even a guy without a beard wouldn't do. It's confusing. So we're waiting for Rabbi Zev, Rabbi Aharon Zev from New York. He's going to come, B'Ezrat Hashem. We'll read the Zohar together a little bit. He'll give us some D'var Torah, like we did a few years ago, B'Ezrat Hashem, for anybody that was there. And when you have a kid, you have to think about a lot of things. And one of the big questions is, why did you bring another kid to the world?

2:44It's such a difficult world. Why bring another kid? I mean, parnassah, show me one house that's not struggling. Even the people that have money, they're struggling. One guy comes to Rav Zev one time. He says, Kvod HaRav, give me a bracha. And the Rav Zev, not Rav Zev, Rav Yagen, Rav Yagen says, you know, I was wondering, what does this guy want as a bracha? Because he just gave tzedakah. And I know the guy, he says, he says in a shul 15 years ago, he says, I know the guy has at least 100 million dollars in the bank. So I was wondering, what does a guy that has 100 million dollars ask for? So I said, sure, what bracha do you want me, one bracha though, don't ask for so many brachot. One bracha, I'll give you whatever you want. What bracha do you want? I'll pray for it. He says, please, parnasah tovah. Good living, make money. The guy has a hundred million dollars, he still wants more. Why? Chazal say, you give somebody a hundred, he wants two hundred. You give two hundred, he wants four hundred. And Chazal say, nobody ever dies with even half of what he wanted. So every house is struggling for money, even the houses that have money. Then you have a different issue. You have people that are not really sure what it means to be Jewish.

4:01What's the difference between somebody religious and somebody not religious? Don't tell me the obvious. He goes to synagogue; I also go to synagogue. I know a few religious people who don't go to synagogue. Oh, he lays tefillin; he doesn't lay tefillin. No, I know some people that are religious who don't lay tefillin, or some people that are not religious who lay tefillin. So what's the big difference between someone religious like the Torah says and someone not religious like the beard? The beard grows for free. What's the difference between a religious person and not a religious person? This is a lecture, I think, a question that, b'ezrat Hashem, my son, b'ezrat Hashem, he's going to grow up one day, and hopefully he's going to listen to this. He's going to have to ask himself the same question. What's the difference? No, who wants to volunteer? It's not a trick question. What's the difference? If you didn't have a kippah on, does that make you religious? Some people don't wear kippah. But they're religious. If you didn't go to shul, does that make you religious or not religious? No, it just means you don't go to shul. It's not a good thing. But what makes you religious? What's the difference? What's the biggest difference between somebody that is nidbak b'Hashem, he's glued to Hashem, and someone not? Their faith.

5:24Okay, Torah, you ask a really secular person who eats pig on Yom Kippur, "Do you believe in Torah?" He says, "Of course. What else am I going to believe in?" Fear of what? Fear of Hashem? I have a lot of religious people who say they fear Hashem every day in tefillah, and then they're still at work. So, their fear of Hashem is of what? They're still in business, but they say they're afraid of Hashem. In tefillah, every day, all day, all night, we say we're afraid of Hashem, we're afraid of Hashem, we're afraid of Hashem, but then we commit crimes against Hashem day and night. Non-stop. In Hebrew, they call it lehitbonen. In English, the best translation I can come up with is delving into it. Meaning the difference between someone who's religious, according to the Torah, and someone that's not religious. The person that's religious delved into and thought about what is the point of life. Why am I here? What's the point? Whereas the guy that's not religious never really gave much thought to it. Maybe thought, I need to make money. But that's not the purpose of life. It can't be. Why? So what? You're brought into this world to make some money, then you die. Then what happens to the money? No, chaval.

6:49Isn't it a waste? You made all this money and then by the time you get all this money, you die, and you can't even spend it? What, are you dying to build somebody else's bank account? What, for the kids who are not going to remember you? Why, so you're going to make a hundred million dollars? So your kids can put your name on a building? Why? You think after you die you care if your name is on a building? You think anybody comes back from Olam HaBa saying, "Oh son, thank you. Thank you. Chazak u'Baruch, you put my name on a building." Any dead person comes back to the world and says, "Thank you for putting my name on a building"? So a person has to think, okay, I made money. No, you made $100 million. However much money you think is a lot of money. Then what? You bought stuff. What are you going to buy? No, I'm not. What's the first thing you buy? What, $100 million? A house. How big is the house? Big house. At least $10 million. At least, right? Nothing cheaper. Okay, at least $10 million. It has all the goods in it. All the toys. All the toys. How many cars?

7:55At least two, because, well, one for the weekend, one for, yeah, of course. Okay, now you got two cars. Each car is at least a quarter million dollars. Already, ten five into it. We got ninety million left. What else do we have? Okay, family, another million dollars each. You're done, you're finished. No, you're at eighty million left. Then what? So you put some money in the stock market. Why? There's nothing else to do with the money. How much can you eat? How much can you drink? How many vacations can you go on? So let's say you spend 10 million on vacations. You're spending almost a million dollars a month. You're still not going to run out of money. What else are you going to do? Give it to some people? You gave it to some people. You bought a house on every coast. Then what? What else are you going to do with the money? Eat it?

8:55What are you gonna do with the money? So, money cannot be the reason why you came to the world. If it is, you're gonna run out of stuff, out of reasons to live, very quickly. You're gonna run out of a reason to live. That's why, when they did a research recently, about maybe five years ago, I think it was actually the IRS Department behind it, and... did research about suicide. I guess they were wondering why people are not paying taxes. So they wanted to find out why people are killing themselves. But they found that suicide, people killing themselves, is a rich person's problem. Poor people don't typically kill themselves; rich people do. Obviously, of course, there are always poor people that go crazy. But statistically speaking, It's 70% higher; more people who are middle and higher class, people who have millions of dollars. So you have all the money that everybody else wants, but you lost the purpose in life. You forgot why you're alive. No, so now you got the money. Then what? You spend it. Then what? Spend it again? You got two cars, you're gonna get four. How many cars can you drive at once?

10:13No matter how strong you are, you can only drive one car at a time. And usually, the people that have a lot of cars, by the way, have a driver, so they don't drive anyway. You bought a half a million dollar car for somebody else to drive so you could sit in the back. Like a taxi. You can get Uber for 10 bucks though. Save yourself some money. But no, so you got the money, you spent the money, finished. So then you're going to say, okay, to get married. Celebrities get married every year, once, twice, three times a year. Ask them for marriage advice. They can say, "I can give you divorce advice." Why do they get divorced every year also? So marriage cannot be the reason. Why? There are a lot of people that are looking for marriage, but they can't find it. And the people that find it don't want it. They want a new one. And let's say, for example, somebody got married. Then what? You finished? No point to live again? You say you have kids. Okay, so you had kids. You had one, two, three, four, five, six, ten kids, Baruch Hashem. Eventually, the kids grow up. They go home. They go to their own life. They have kids. They have a marriage. They're going to ask you, "Abba, what's the point of life?" We're going to say, "to have kids?" Yeah, but I'm here. So what's the point of your life? Now that I'm here, I'm leaving. So what, you're telling me that once I leave Abba and Ima's house, Abba and Ima's life has no meaning?

11:36It has to be Amein. So it cannot be the kids. Why? Because the kids become adults and they live their own lives and they move away to different states and different countries and different lives and so on and so forth. So it can't be. Every single thing that you do in your day-to-day life, you'll see, for the most part, it's pointless. Meaning, for the most part, everything that you're doing is just something that's temporary. Temper, it's not something that you really need to do or even want to do permanently. It's something you have to do in order to make a living, in order to manage a family, in order to do whatever it is that you need to do, but it's all temporary. So you have to ask, the little kid is going to ask one day, "What's the point of life?" and... already we threw in the garbage. Marriage, marriage is good, but it's not the point of life. Kids, many, like the Chazon Ish, for example, never had kids. The Lubavitcher Rebbe never had kids. So you tell me they had a pointless life? Go to the Lubavitcher Rebbe's ohel, ask him. You think he had a pointless life because he had no kids? They're probably gonna start hating you for saying such a stupid thing. See how many people he affected?

13:02You have to ask yourself, what's the point? What is the point of life? And that's the question, that's the big question that every single person has to ask themselves and has to get an answer. And until you get an answer, life is simply miserable suffering. Every day, you're just going over the same thing over and over again without ever realizing, why am I here? And that's the reason why it's very easy for a person to get bored. They're very bored very quickly. Because after they went on vacation, and after they hung out with a new girl every week, and after they bought whatever stuff they wanted to buy, and whatever they did, they fulfilled all of their physical desires. Eventually, the physical desires become boring to them. Because the neshamah doesn't want physical. Neshamah wants something spiritual. But only the right spirituality is going to help.

14:03So a person, at some point, is going to have to answer this question. Now, sometimes people fool themselves into thinking that maybe if they are going to work out and feel better about themselves physically. Or maybe, no, no, mommy. Or maybe, it's okay, it's okay. Look, he's, I'm with him all day. Maybe, no, mommy, look up there, look up there. Maybe it's a physical thing, you know, working out and feeling better about myself. Maybe that's gonna make me happy. And then the guy works out, and he feels better about himself physically, but then spiritually he feels worse. He can lift the house. But spiritually, he still falls into depression. He still cries like a little baby. As soon as somebody insults him at work, he starts crying. As soon as he isn't the most muscular guy in the gym, he starts crying. He starts crying like a little baby and he doesn't know why. So, physically, it's not the answer. At some point, a person arrives at the conclusion that life is about the real you.

15:28And the real you is not the guf. It's not the body you have, because the body is just like clothing. It's like I have this suit on, and it's clothing on my body. But in reality, my body is the clothing on top of who I really am. And who I really am is the neshama. The neshama is the only thing that's permanent about you. That's the only thing that stays. That's the only thing that actually works. Everything else depends on it. If the neshama leaves the body, the rest of it turns to nothing. The body becomes a worthless piece of meat. The clothes—you give them to the gemach; maybe somebody else is going to wear them. Useless. The neshama leaves the body, that's it. The body becomes useless. You can't do anything with it. At some point, a person needs to start thinking about this neshama. What does this neshama want? They say, "Oh yeah, but there are many religions in the world." How do we know that Judaism is the right one? Well, Baruch Hashem, we made some lectures about that. Rabbi Mizrachi made a Torah and Science series that talks about the counter-scientific evidence of the Torah, of Judaism, but also the evidence of how Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism are all complete nonsense. We followed in the same route and did the same thing, just with a few other things that weren't added there.

16:58There's plenty of proofs to validate the Torah. But the biggest proof is something that you can't teach. The biggest proof of the Torah is something that you can't teach. It doesn't matter how long we have a conversation. We can talk from here until we all turn blue in our faces like the map on this table. It's not going to help. The biggest proof of the Torah is doing it. the feeling you get from following Torah. And everybody here has heard of Gan Eden. What do you think we do in Gan Eden? What do you guys think we do in Gan Eden? What are you going to do in Gan Eden, Elad? Learn Torah. David, what do you think you're going to do in Gan Eden? Learn Torah. But if a person doesn't learn Torah here, can he go to Gan Eden to learn Torah?

18:18So, if a person doesn't learn Torah here, can he go to Gan Eden to learn Torah? If a person doesn't learn Torah here, I thought about this the other day. I think we said it in a couple of shiurim already. But if you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense. If a person doesn't learn Torah here, I thought about this the other day. I think we said it in a couple of shiurim already. But if you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense. He makes us first class, Rabbi Yaron. I never do this with my wife, but it's only when Rabbi Yaron invites us. He makes us the, how do you say, the... the Hollywood of... Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem. So, Rabbi, remember us, really. This is Rabbi Amavut. Rabbi Zeev, we, Baruch Hashem, for... I worked here a couple of years ago. We had a Brit Milah. Baruch Hashem, now for a newborn, we have a Brit Milah. You have to have...

19:44Not just somebody that knows how to cut a piece of meat. That you can get a butcher. You cut it for free. You have to have somebody that knows what it means. Why? Every single thing that touches the kid affects him. I learned from Mekubal, Rav Yosef Scheinberger. He said one time, he says that in the old days, they used to... used the same clothes more than once because they were poor. It was a very big mistake that sometimes a newborn girl, they put the clothes on her, but then after they changed the clothes, the girl went somewhere else and there was a newborn boy. He was born somewhere else and they chose the same clothes, towel, or whatever it was, on the boy. He says it was a big mistake to do that. Why? Because once they put the girl's clothes on the boy, for the rest of his life he's going to have problems with women. Why? The first thing he did, as soon as he came to this world, he was wearing a woman's clothes. For the rest of his life, it's going to affect him. But then after they changed the clothes, the girl went somewhere else and there was a newborn boy. He was born somewhere else, and they chose the same clothes, towel, or whatever it was, for the boy. He says it was a big mistake to do that. Why? Because once they put the girl's clothes on the boy, for the rest of his life he's going to have problems with women. Why? The first thing he did, as soon as he came to this world, he was wearing women's clothes. For the rest of his life, it's going to affect him.

20:45So if a piece of clothing is going to affect a little boy, needless to say, the environment is going to affect him. The rabbi is going to affect him. The teachers are going to affect him. Everything affects him. So to get somebody to cut a piece of meat, you get it anywhere. To get someone who knows what they're doing, Yirat Shamayim, and Rav Ze'ev would tell you all stories. Rav Ze'ev grew up with Mekubalim, Baruch Hashem. He grew up in a generation that we lost. Mishpacha, Mekubalim. Rav Kaduri used to have breakfast with them every day. He used to have breakfast with Rav Kaduri every day. He's not Kaduri, he's Ze'ev. Look in his book, it's written that the family is Ze'ev. It's written in the book. Whoever looks at it, if somebody saw, he's Ze'ev. After they changed to Kaduri. But the father is family Ze'ev, he's not Kaduri. And it's, Baruch Hashem, it's also Ben Ish Chai, he's family to my father. We're lucky, we're lucky. We're lucky to be with a lot of loved ones. Rav Avraham Azulai also, Rav Avraham Dov Auerbach also, on the side of the mother. Family.

21:48He says that what Rav Yudoftai wrote in his book, The Scary Stuff, I told you he got a little bit of it in the shiur, but Gehenom and so on, he says it's not even a drop in the water of what he used to teach them. Okay, he says that what Rav Yudoftai wrote in his book, The Scary Stuff, I told you he got a little bit of it in the shiur, but Gehinnom and so on, he says it's not even a drop in the ocean of what he used to teach them. If a person knew all the things that are next to him right now,

22:55You'll be too scared to live because of what's really there. What's really there. And it's all in the Gemara. It's all in the Torah. It's all stuff we need to learn. Why? Because the more you learn about the things that Hashem put into the world to scare you, the more you realize you have something to be scared of. It's not that Hashem wants to punish you. He doesn't want to punish you. He wants you to do good. He wants to tell you that if you don't do good, there's a consequence. That's it. And if you never learn about punishment, and you never learn about bad things, then what happens? You do whatever you want. You never ask the point of life. You live like a goy. You do whatever it is that you want. You go wherever you want. You cheat in business. You do this, you do that. And then what happens? Hashem is forced to punish the person. And this is one of the things that... People don't want to understand. They don't want to think that there's such a thing as punishment because they want to believe that because Hashem is good, that means He doesn't punish. And that's the mistake. Why? What's the sign of a good father? A father that doesn't punish or a father that punishes? If the father doesn't punish, guess what? All he's doing is raising a kid that's going to become a Hitler one day.

24:23Torah tells us that one of the mistakes that David HaMelech, Kodesh Kodeshim, made with Avshalom, he never told him no. He never said no. Whatever you want, do. He never said no to him. Eventually what? Avshalom wanted to be king. David HaMelech said no. He said, what no? You never told me no, now I'm going to kill you. So a parent tells their kid no, it's a good parent. The parent who doesn't tell their kid no is not a good parent. But sometimes the parent tells the kid no, and the kid doesn't listen. Now, if the parent doesn't do anything about it, guess what? The kid is going to do it again. If the parent doesn't do anything about it again, the kid is going to do it again. And eventually, he's not going to listen to the parent at all. He's going to do whatever he wants. The parent stops being a parent; he becomes a friend, a roommate. The child doesn’t listen to him at all, and the parent has just ruined the kid. It would have been better off not having the kid. But if the parent punishes the kid, then the kid knows, oh, this is not something to do. I'm not allowed to do this. I'm not allowed to look here. I'm not allowed to go here. So Hashem knows this about His creation, and He Himself obviously knows this about Himself. And that's why He has rules, where He tells us, if you do good, you get good. If you do bad, you get bad.

25:46And He needs us to learn about the bad because if we don't know that the bad exists, we're only going to do bad things. And we're going to get ourselves into some serious trouble that there's no getting out of. Now, we asked the question before; David gave us an answer: What do you do in Gan Eden? And David said that we're going to learn Torah. What about if you don't learn Torah here? If you don't learn Torah here, and you only learn whenever you get a chance, once a week, once a month, you know... You go to Seudah Shlishit with Rav Zehev, he gives you a nice shiur. That's your Dvar Torah for the whole week. The whole week you had seven days, 24 hours a day, 168 hours, but you learn 10 minutes with Rav Zehev. Is that enough to go to Gan Eden, David? Now let's say you learn 10 minutes a week. Times it by 52 weeks, it's 520 minutes. You get up to Gan Eden.

26:46You did it for 100 years, 520 minutes. Go up to Shamayim and say, Nu, so did you learn Torah? He's like, yeah, I learned 10 minutes a week. He says, so it's not enough to learn what we're learning. Why? Because the rest of the people in Gan Eden, they learned hours every day. Hours and hours every day. So, which means that even if you go to Gan Eden, you have nothing to do there. Why? Because the Torah they're learning over there, and the Torah that you know is not enough. It's not on the same level. And it's not a place to teach people. It's not like, oh, let's teach you Alef-Bet. If you know Alef-Bet, you don't go to Gan Eden. If you don't know a lot of Torah, you don't go to Gan Eden. So that's what a person needs to think. If you believe in Gan Eden, and you believe in Gehinom, you believe in reward and punishment, which is a very basic foundation of Jewish belief. You believe in good, you believe in bad. If you get good, that means you're going to get the ultimate good. What does Hashem say is the ultimate good? Torah. Ultimate good is Torah. So you go up to Shamayim and say, okay, we have a lot of Torah here. He's like, yeah, but I don't know what Torah is. Oh, so you have nothing to do here. So we'll get you to a department that doesn't have Torah. That department's not good though. These are some of the things that a person needs to think about. But not just for this Olam HaBa. Because a lot of people, it's very easy to forget about Olam HaBa.

28:12It's very easy to forget about Heaven and Hell. It's very easy to forget about it. We always think about this world. So one day you're going to have a son who's going to ask you, Abba, Ima, what's the point of learning Torah for this world? For here. For this world. Why should I learn Torah here? Okay, fine, fine. I'll get there one day. I'll figure it out. Once I get to Gan Eden or Gehinom or wherever I'm going to get to, I'll figure it out once I get there. What about now? What am I going to spend two, three, four hours every day learning Torah for? For what? I'm busy. I have to make money. I have to go out. I have to have fun. I have to watch sports three, four, at least five hours a day. No, I don't have time to learn Torah. So what do I need to learn Torah here for? What is the benefit of learning Torah in this world? The only way you're going to see the benefit is actually one of two ways. One is after you do it. Once you learn Torah, you don't have that question anymore, "What's the benefit?" Why? Because you see the benefit. You feel it physically, and you see it in your life. But if you haven't learned Torah already for at least a few years, every day, then you don't know what I'm talking about.

29:36you have no idea what I'm talking about. Benefit of learning Torah, reading a book. I'm going to read this book a hundred times. Is it going to make me any different? Is it going to make me happy? How is reading a book going to make you happy? Before I went into the Torah world, I read a lot of books. All types of books. Science books, psychology books, business books, self-help books, lots and lots. I had a big library full of books. Not a single book ever made me happy. So what's the difference about this book or any of the books that you see in the library over there versus the hundreds of books that I've read in my life before this? Why did this one make me happy and 150 other books did not make me happy? How? If you never learned Torah, you have no idea why there's a difference. So then we go to answer number two. Answer number two is that you have to look at the people that don't have Torah and you have to look at their life, and very quickly you see what is a life with Torah versus what is a life without Torah. A life without Torah, it's very easy: start off as a child in America

30:55Without Torah, by the time you're 3 or 4 years old, you're an expert in iPod, iPad, Gameboy, GameCube, all these games. You're an expert. You're a talmid chacham. By the time you're 6 or 7, they give you your first game. One of the most popular games is shooting games to kill people. kill people, kill monsters, kill something. You're always killing. Which means by the time you're Bar Mitzvah, you've already committed murder at least 50 million times. Why? Because you want to beat the game. How do you beat the game? By killing as many things in front of you as possible. I know, I grew up on this. I was an expert in killing. And then kicking the ball and throwing a basket and all the video games they give you. But by the time you're 13 years old, you're an expert at killing people. It's no wonder in America today, in the year 2019, according to the Christian calendar, the average for 2018 was one school shooting per week. In America, one school shooting per week. No other country in the world has this. No other country in the world has even a statistic close to this. There's no second place.

32:04It's just America: first place, second place, third place, fourth place, the most amount of murders by their own civilians. Kids, 12, 13, 14 years old, decide one day to go to school and practice what they've been playing in a video game for already 5, 10 years. They're experts. So they want to see the real weapon. Since you can buy it at Walmart, you can buy it on the internet, you can buy it on the dark web, you can buy anything you want. You can buy a tank if you want. All you have to have is a credit card. So they want to try it. What happens if I throw a real grenade? What happens if I shoot a real shotgun? What happens? So now the kid, because he's committed murder so many times, by the time he's 12, 13, sometimes it affects his brain, he becomes numb. Numb to life. Becomes numb to the value of life. And some kids become addicted to this stuff. And they don't want to leave the house. They don't want to go to school. They don't want to read. They don't want to do homework. They don't want to play outside. This is the generation we're in. In my generation, Baruch Hashem, we still had a little bit of a life outside the house. We went outside. We played baseball, football, all these games. We played outside. Today, I go, sometimes I walk my kids outside in the middle of the day. Darkness. Nothing. Not a single kid outside. The only day of the week the kids are outside is on Shabbat. Why? Because they can't play the video games.

33:29Rest of the week, there's not a single soul outside. Nothing. Everybody's inside. Nobody goes outside. Everybody plays video games. So now you have, okay. Now, the secular mentality is, give the kid the games, give him the chofesh, the freedom to do whatever he wants with the games, and everything's going to be fine. Then you add something else that I saw when I grew up. When I was, maybe, I don't know, 12 years old, 7th grade, 7th grade I think is 12 years old, I saw my first woman in my life that was pregnant. I mean I saw older women pregnant, but I saw the first one that I knew was pregnant. Why? She was 12 years old. In my school. Public school, you're secular, you don't learn Torah, so you go to a public school, it's free. In public school, they teach you that you can do whatever you want. It's all natural. like animals, like anything else. So what happens? The kids, they talk, the boys talk to the girls, the girls talk to the boys. Eventually, they discover that they have something, and they become husband and wife at 12 years old. They don't realize that there's a consequence to this, and you have a 12, 13, or 14-year-old girl who comes to school now. She's still learning how to live, but she has a baby. She is a baby that's having a baby.

34:56This is the mistake that parents make all the time, even now in the religious world where they started this thing, well actually not started, it's been going on for many years, where they think that if you teach kids Torah, for some reason they're not going to realize that their classmate is the opposite gender, is the opposite sex. Like if you teach boys and girls Torah, they're going to be okay, they're going to manage. This is a mistake of a mistake. Why? Boys are boys. Girls are girls. With or without Torah, they're both going to realize they're different. It's part of the world. You grow up, you realize you're different. The boys want to be with girls. The girls want to be with boys. With or without Torah. You put them in the same building, guess what? Eventually, they're going to find a way. They're going to find a way to be together. This is why in the religious world, there are no exceptions here. Why? Because we know that this is too early. They're still kids. They don't know. They don't know what to do yet. They don't know how to control themselves, how to stop themselves. So in the secular world, you see that the girl and the boy already want to be mommy and daddy before they even realize what mommy and daddy are.

36:10And this is the basics. It's very normal. In fact, in my school, when I was a kid, if you didn't have a girlfriend that you acted like a husband and wife with, they made fun of you. It's like, "Oh, you're a prude. You're this. You're nothing. You're a loser. Why? You don't have a girlfriend. You don't have a boyfriend. You don't have anything. So you must be a loser. There's something wrong with you." People make fun of you for not being mature at 12, 13, 14 years old. So now, what father, what normal father, wants his daughter to have a husband when she's still going to school at 12, 13 years old, 14 years old? In the old generation, when you're 12 or 13 years old, you're already ready to be a father and mother. It's a different situation. But in our generation, 25-year-olds are still learning how to behave. You can send them here.

37:10He learns with me all the time. He knows. So, in the secular world, you see that already if you had a daughter, you look at your daughter like I look at my daughter. She's three and a half years old. I don't want her to even play with boys. Forget about when they are 12 years old. I don't want her to play with boys at three and a half years old. Why play with boys? There are plenty of girls. Why should she get used to playing with boys at three years old, four years old, five years old, six years old? Why? For what? Did boys run out of girls in the world? If you think about it clearly, you realize there's no benefit here. Little by little, you start realizing there's a risk. Not only is there no benefit, but there's also a risk. There's a risk. And it becomes dangerous to now give kids freedom. But in the secular world, all you have is freedom. All you have is freedom. So what normal father wants his daughter to bring a husband? Abba, Ima, here's my husband. Honey, what husband? You just had your bat mitzvah last week. What husband? What are you talking about? You're still sleeping on the bunk beds. No, he's my boyfriend. I love him. I love him, Abba. I love him, Ima.

38:38You know how many daughters come to Abba and Ima and tell them, "I love him, I love him, Abba, Ima?" Or they start crying because Mr. Wonderful broke up with them? Her first boyfriend broke up with her? What father wants to deal with this? But guess what? The father that deals with this deserves it. Why? He did it to himself. He sent the kid to that school. If you sent the kid to that school, what are you blaming the kid for? You sent the kid to a mixed school, what do you want the kid to do? To say, "Oh no, they don't exist?" It's like sending the kid to a zoo and expecting the kid not to talk about animals. There are animals in the zoo. So, Here you already are a teenager. You realize, wait a minute, if I have a religious lifestyle, that means I have a structure. That means I have less danger. My kids are not going to grow up on video games. My kids are not going to grow up in mixed schools where I have a risk that maybe my son, at 14 years old, is already going to be a father. Why? Because his girlfriend, who is 13 years old, was really cute. But he's a father at 14 years old. He doesn't know what being a father is. He doesn't know he has to change diapers.

39:56Anybody that thinks about it for more than five minutes will realize it's not worth it. It's worth it to be religious just for this. Just for this. Why? Because you have a structure in your life. A structure that gives you less risk. Why do big companies have a system where there's one department that has servers and computers and and there's a few people in charge, but even the people that are in charge, they have a chain of command. There's a supervisor, there's a manager under the supervisor, there's a manager under the manager, and there's a bunch of other guys below him. Why is there a chain of command? Why do we need this chain of command? And then the same exact thing in a different department. That's not servers, that's, let's say, the department of food. Somebody managing the food. And there's a manager, and there's a manager under the manager, and a supervisor under the manager, and there's a chain of command.

40:58And then after the food, and after the servers, there's the other stuff that the company deals with: international ordering, commercial sales, and so on and so forth. Each one has a chain of command. There's the manager, the supervisor, and those under the manager. Why? Why have all this? Because all of these chains of command give the company structure. And structure gives protection. If one goes crazy, It's much easier to fix. If one breaks, if the manager loses his mind and decides to quit tomorrow, he doesn't want to come to work anymore. He wants to go become a dancer or something. We can replace him easily. Why? Because it's only one hand, but we have 25 other people around him. They can fulfill his role until we replace him. But if the whole department depended on one guy and he leaves, guess what? There's no department. As soon as the server guy leaves, there's no server guy anymore. Now, as soon as there's a problem with one of the computers, the whole company shuts down. If there was only one guy managing all of the food, as soon as the one guy managing the food leaves, guess what? Something goes wrong with the food, nobody eats.

42:16As soon as the guy who deals with international orders leaves, there's nobody to cover for him, and there's no chain of command. He leaves, and guess what? The business of international orders gets shut down. So the order of command and the chain of command and the structure give the company, give the organization, protection in case something goes wrong. Why? Because it always does. Something always goes wrong, that's life. Something goes wrong, and you have to prepare for things to go wrong. In this life, things go wrong every day. Problems happen every day. If you don't have problems, that only means you're probably sleeping in a dream, or you died already, and you're in Gan Eden. If you're alive in this world, there have to be problems. Why? That's life. Judaism, the Torah, is an instruction set on how to deal with these problems by putting different protective measures. How to protect yourself from these problems if it's having kids? How do I make sure that my kids don't have kids when they're still kids? How do I make sure that my child is not a sociopath by the time he's 15 years old because of all the video games and movies that he watched and...

43:34I make sure that my kids care about more than just money, more than just physical desires, more than just girls, more than just boys. How do I make sure I give them something of protection, some type of structure? Judaism, the Torah, gives us that structure. Just for that, it's worth it to be religious. Just for that, there is no other system like it. There's no other system in the world like it. The more a person grows up and becomes mature and thinks about the purpose of life, the more he realizes it's not that he should get the Torah. He needs the Torah. He needs the structure in his life. Because life can become pointless very, very quickly. After you made all the money you want, you married the girl you want, you married the guy you want, you had the kids you want, you have all the stuff, you got the stuff that you want, then what?

44:35I know some guys that are in their 20s; they got all the stuff they wanted and committed suicide before they got to 30. Why? They got all the stuff. There's no point to life anymore. Money they got, the girl they got, another girl they got, the kid, they got everything. Then what? Oh, there's no point? Okay, so what's the point of living? As soon as one problem happens that ruins their stuff, they give up on life. How many celebrities do we hear about every other week who decide to end their life with millions and millions of dollars in the bank? No chaval for all the hard work they put in to make that money? All that money is a waste now. Why? You just made somebody else's bank rich. So, Torah HaKedoshah is the structure to life. And the more a person grows up, the more he realizes that he needs a structure. Once he realizes that structure, he'll start using the structure. He'll start using the system. And then he'll start thinking, okay, so now I know I have a system of how to live life. But why did Hashem make this? Just to live this life? Or is there something beyond this life? Or does it just end here? We live, we're born to live, to die.

45:54Why come to life then? If you're born to live, and then you end up dying, then what's the point of life? You have to ask the question. If Hashem created a person, and He brought him into life, and the person is now alive, for what? So he could go to school and not get into trouble? To pass tests? There has to be something after. And that's where Gan Eden and Gehinom are something that you need to learn about. You need to learn about what happens after this life. And Chazal, our Chachamim, teach us that this life is like a hall, it's like a hallway in a huge building. Meaning that you could go to sleep, for example, and have a dream. And the dream feels like it was a long time. It feels like it was a week. You have one of those dreams that feels like it was a long time. But as soon as you wake up, in a second you realize it was a dream. It doesn't take you long to realize it was a dream. It's like, wow, a whole week is over already? The dream, it feels like the dream was a week. But it's over. It's finished.

47:06Our sages teach us in the Gemara, life feels the same way. This life in this world that feels like it's so long, and sometimes the day never ends. Sometimes we're depressed, and sometimes we're happy. Sometimes we're not really sure if we're happy or we're depressed, because we're crying, and we're not really sure if it's happy tears or sad tears. We're confused, and we're up and we're down. We're not really sure what's going on sometimes. We're so confused in this world. Eventually, that whole story—the 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 120 years—passes, and a person wakes up. Where? In a different world. And all of this life feels like a dream. Gone. All the problems you thought were never going to be over, gone. All the mistakes you thought you were never going to finish paying for, gone. Everything is gone, finished. Now, the only thing you have left is the consequence of everything you did. All the things you did in that world that's finished, now you have to pay for. You either get paid or you have to pay. You get paid if you did good things. You have to pay if you did bad things. But now, this time, it's different.

48:34Now it's forever. Now it doesn't end. When a person is in his mother's stomach, before my son came to the world, he was there learning with the Malach for nine months. He learned the entire Torah. He thought he was going to be there forever. After nine months, they take him out of the body. "Hey, what are you guys doing? I was comfortable here." No, no, Habibi. You were only there for nine months to get ready for this world. But I liked it. Good that you liked it. It's over. It's finished. There's no more point. Now you're here. Now a person lives in this world for however many years he's going to live. You live 70 years, 100 years, whatever you're going to live. They're going to take you out of this world and they're going to put you in Olam Ha'emet. Yeah, I liked it. I liked it. I just bought the $10 million house that Hashem bought me. I just bought the $10 million house. Yeah, it's nice. Somebody else is going to live in it though. Why? You're not there anymore.

49:35Yeah, what about the house? Somebody else will live in it. I'm sure they're going to make it into a mall. It's so big. It's finished. The house is finished. What about the car? Poor car. No one's going to drive it. Yeah, yeah, the car. Chaval on the car. You should have used the money for something else because no one's going to drive the car. What about the books? Yeah, the books stay too. What about the wife? She stays too. The kids, they stay too. What about me? You're here now with us. So what do I do now? Oh, now we do cheshbon. Now we do accounting. What did you do during those 70 years you were in life? What did I need to do? Oh, you should have asked yourself what you needed to do during that life. Well, see, we have Gan Eden. In Gan Eden, they learn Torah. In Gehinnom, there's no Torah. There's only pain. Punishment. No good. You don't want to go there, I promise you. We have a whole shiur about it. So, did you learn Torah? Because if you learn Torah, you go to Gan Eden, you have something to do over there. If you don't learn Torah, there's nothing you can do over there. There's nothing for you to do. You're going to be bored. A person now realizes his whole life, 70, 80 years, finished.

50:54This, Rabotai, is a short synopsis of what a person needs to ask themselves. Above and beyond money, marriage, kids, food, sports, all the physical desires, feeling good about yourself, and health. People spend so much time on their health that they forget to live. Some people eat certain foods. To me, honestly, if you want to feed me this food, I'd rather not live with this food. Some people feed themselves such food. It's like, dog food is better than this food. What are you eating this food for? No, so I can live longer. A lot of people eat good food, healthy food, but they still die early. Why? Hashem decided there's no point in their life. They're so busy managing their diet, they forgot to manage their life. So a person needs to ask themselves, because once you delay and you postpone, that means you're giving yourself more time to make mistakes. More time to go against the instruction set. More time to go against Hashem. The same Hashem that you're asking for parnassah, for a zivug, for everything. You're going against Him. Why? Because He gave you instructions and you're not listening.

52:14Eventually, a person needs to know. Eventually, you're going to run out of time. No one knows how long they're going to be in this world, but everybody that's here knows they can think about what's the point of life today. Because you brought a kid into the world, you have to ask yourself, if I don't know what's the point of life, why bring another kid into the world? Me'saken, if I don't know why I'm alive, why should I bring somebody else into the world? He's going to grow up one day and say, "Abba, why am I here?" He goes, "I don't know. When you find out, tell me too. When you find out, let me know." Why am I here? A person needs to ask this question and answer this question. Because then, your life has a purpose. As soon as you have a purpose, life changes. You have a strategy. You have a system. You have structure. You don't lose hope so quickly, even when things go bad. Even when you can't pay rent. Even when you don't have money to pay the bills. Even when there's sickness or any type of problem. You don't lose hope. Why? Because you know this is part of the system. There's a system, and the system involves problems. It involves ups; it involves downs.

53:37Problem is part of the system. The good news is part of the system, the bad news. It's all part of the system. It's all part of this structure. But if you don't have a reason for your life, guess what? As soon as you have bad news, you get depressed. So you have bad news, you lose hope. So you have bad news, you have no idea why you're even here. It's very easy to lose the purpose of life. So Torah is not only to help us in this world... ...to make sure that we protect our kids from themselves because they don't know the difference between good and bad. It says that Hashem gives us kids as a pikadon. He's, in essence, lending them to us. He's lending the kid to us. He's giving them to us as collateral, as part of a deal. Protect this kid for Me. Protect this boy for Me. Protect this girl for Me. Why? They have a special neshama. They are My children. Now if you tell the kid, "Go do whatever you want," Hashem is going to say, "Wait, wait, hold on a second. I told you to protect him, not ruin him. He doesn't know what to do. He's 12; he's 15 years old. You tell him to go away on a vacation by himself? He's 15 years old. What does he know? You give him such freedom, he's going to make mistakes. He doesn't know right from wrong yet."

54:55So, Hashem is going to give you your own life. You have to figure out the purpose of your life. He's also going to give you other lives to be responsible for. You can have kids. You can have students. You can have colleagues. You can have friends. All of these different people that Hashem puts into your hands, you have to answer the question for all of them: What's the point of life? What's the purpose? But you're never going to be able to answer the question if you didn't answer it for yourself. And every person can think about it. What's the point? And you'll eventually arrive at the truth. And b'ezrat Hashem, you'll be able to tell people the truth. Everybody speak English or Hebrew? English. I must speak a few words. Why?

56:14It is written at the end of Brachot Massechet, that the Massechet is translated into Amud Bet. In Gemara, it begins with the words of Ahsania. Ahsania, what is Ahsania? We must say, all the family must know, all the family of Reuven, Iran will have a big Sefer Torah, the most me'udar in the world. In my synagogue, we call it Parashat Shekalim, as the people ask me, "Why do we have a few Sefarim?" The people ask me, "Why did you take the Rav Yaron Sefer Torah, the Rav Yaron?" I say, because... Every, all the time, the shekalim, we bring the shekalim for the synagogue. Family, Reuven, Am Yisrael, the father, the mother, everybody makes chesed, mitzvot, b'div, b'nishama, noli, roki kesef, noli mani, k'mo she katuv b'sefer Marvino. is a work from Hashem. Even in his body, even in his hands, the money, everything, the prayers, everything. This is the family of Reuven. Big, big, the entry of the Orchim all the years. Hashem will keep them alive. For that, what to say, the Gemara says, that they must speak, because in the name of Ahsani, the ma'aseh, the red worker there, that the Gemara says there, she is, because he skipped the Sefer Torah, Hashem gives it to him 64 times.

57:38baby boy, 64. From 64. Not for me only, from the children. They have children, they call out. Everybody has six children. Together, 64 children. It's not a shame. Everybody has a baby boy. If I was more hell, I am hell. He only keeps the Sefer Torah. He's not put food, not put nothing. If somebody makes Akhnasat Orchim for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, for the people, He was a waiter. What do you call it? Waiters. Waiters. He had the right to listen, to do Torah talks at home. So it's written, "Who will raise the heavens for us?" Rashi Tevot: מי יעלה לנו השמימה (Mi ya'aleh lanu ha'shamayma). And the end of the words will be a word. Rashi Tevot: the end of the words will be a word. The end of the words will be a word. The end of the words will be a word. The end of the words will be a word.

58:59It's like he's ascending to heaven and the Holy Zohar says, I just read the whole Zohar on the way. So the Holy Zohar says that whoever makes a covenant with God will receive all the sacrifices, all the sacrifices in the Temple. That's why they say, when we say, not before the covenant, but after the covenant. Why? Because the name of G-d is revealed. Also, the people ask, why do we say Divrei Torah on the night of the Brit Yitzchak? Why? The Zohar HaKadosh says not, but the Gemara also says, the Zohar HaKadosh says, they spoke to somebody, they must say all the night Divrei Torah. Three people need to be kept, must be kept: hayah, chatan, and choleh. Chatan, I begin with chatan, somebody makes a wedding.

1:00:10So because they have a gezera here, the angels and so on, they have a gezera here, chas v'shalom, they want to make for him something negative. For that, the husband needs seven days. What to do? Seven blessings. Why seven blessings? To keep him. To keep him. Even before the wedding, even before the wedding, he must be very careful. He must be careful. Why? Because chas v'shalom. I don't want to say the word, but I know a few stories. I must, I know, not just, I know personally, a few stories that are really close to the wedding. There is a problem, problems of how much, must keep, be careful before the wedding. It's also seven days before the wedding. One must say, talk, think about the blessings, speak the Torah, not go, I understand. Atlantic City, I don't know, Las Vegas. No honeymoons, no bachelor parties. Seven days obligation together to say every day. Three times a day, we make every day. Lama? I sleep in my sister's house.

1:01:24We're making three times a day, seven blessings. In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, we eat. We don't need to make, I don't know, meat, fish. If you eat bread, you make seven blessings. The mitzvah is bread, meat, even on Shabbat. What is the mitzvah obligation? Bread, people eat, I don't know how much cake, how much grain, I don't know. You say, why don't you make sure it's your third meal? I'm full. You're full? Only a piece, the bread. Kezayit, 30 grams. It's a bigger mitzvah than your third meal. This big mitzvah. But this Chatan, even if he's sick, if somebody is in danger, he's sick, you can't leave him alone. You must have somebody to take care of him. Dealing all the time, all the time with him. 24/7, I say if someone, Chas V'Shalom, is in danger. Seven times, 24 hours. Why? If Chas V'Shalom he is by himself, it's more dangerous. That's what the Gemara says. Third, it's Chaya. What is Chaya or Tena? If a woman has a baby boy, she may be separated from the mother and the baby.

1:02:43For that, it needs to be kept by the mother to keep the mother and to keep the baby. For that, we say in the Torah, we don't know why, why, why, because we have to keep the mother. For that, we say in the Torah, why do we need to keep the baby and the mother? It is also written, we say that Eliyahu Hanavi, what does the Holy One say about this? They say, this is the chair of Eliyahu Hanavi, remember this well. What is a chair? The people think it's a chair, it's a mistake. My father is a yeshiva, everybody, all the rabbis, all the kabbalists, Rabbi Kaduri, Rabbi Ovadia, Rabbi Chaim, all the rabbis sit on the table. You say, this is the table, this is the chair of Eliyahu Hanavi, it's a chair, the meaning is a chair. where they sit the sandak, that's Eliyahu's chair. Some people, I know, mistakenly think it's a special chair, or I don't know, I don't want to say, but they don't say, they don't say, so they don't say, that's Eliyahu's chair, or they don't say, or they think they have a special chair, that's all, it's a mistake. The Zohar HaKadosh says, if we don't say, that's Eliyahu's chair, it's not comfortable.

1:04:04If you want to open it, both page 38 and page 78, the Zohar says in one word, in two places, if you don't say, "This is the chair of Eliyahu HaNavi," he does not come to greet me. See, the mohel has to say, "This is the chair of Eliyahu HaNavi." Where else do we see this? In the sukkah, we have... What do we say before coming inside the sukkah? We prepare a chair for them. This is the sukkah. We say, today it's Avraham, second day it's Yitzchak, third day it's Yaakov. So we prepare a chair for them. If we don't say, Hashem says, they're not coming. They don't come to Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov. We have to say in the sukkah before they come. To come, we prepare a chair for them. Also, where else do we see, in a few places, in the Gemara Bavli, in Berachot, that Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakkai, on the Temple Mount, I don't want to say the whole story, that they were separated from him, and he started to cry. He said, "I don't know if I'm a tzaddik, if I'm not a tzaddik, I'm an avar." What about them? What about them? We made a chair for Chizkiyahu, the King of Judah, who came to save us.

1:05:22He said, Chizkiyahu, the king of Judah, was a big, big, big tzaddik. It's written that during Chizkiyahu's time, from the creation of the world until today, there was no Torah learning like at the time of Chizkiyahu and the Jews. Every child, any baby, knew the laws of Tumah and Taharah. Today, even the head rabbis do not know the laws of Tumah and Taharah. Why? There is no time, no time. It's very difficult. It's very, very difficult. It's very difficult. Everybody must learn Torah. Everybody must put money, put everything. Everybody, only Torah. There is not even one soldier in the army. And what happened at the end? What happened to him? He took over the world. Only one place he can take. What? Jerusalem. Only one place. Who was in Jerusalem?

1:06:33Skiyam Melech Yehuda, he is killed, he has millions upon millions of souls. Who killed them? The Gemara says, an angel came and killed 185,000 of the leaders of the Gai'as, the Mephakdim, 185,000. I don't know how many, millions upon millions. How did he kill them? It's written that when the angel did this and that, all of them were dead. Why? Because of what? Because of the ruach. So why did he do it? He prepared a chair. Did you prepare it, Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai? What did he say? He prepared a chair for King Yehuda. We see how important this word is. In the Shabbat Kuf-Lamed text, page 1, it says, "Every mitzvah that they received with joy, they still receive it with joy." All the Jewish mitzvot, how do you say to receive? To accept. To accept. For happy, make until today the happy. What is it?

1:07:48The word that is written in Hebrew says, "Why?" But when she heard the word of God, she said, Baruch Hashem, I'm happy. Why? What is the meaning of the word of God? What is the meaning of the word of God? Because they say, a person has eight: he has two ears, two eyes, he has to know what to listen to, not the bad one, not to smell something negative, not to smell something that is forbidden; both of these, also the mouth. We are going to talk about the Shemini, and the Shemini is the word of God. So if we are going to talk about the Shemini, it is the word of God. The Gemara also says, in the book of Bereishit, in the book of Bereishit, the Gemara says, in the book of Bereishit, the Gemara says, for the Jews there was joy, and happiness, and happiness, and the main thing. The Gemara says there, joy is the Torah, happiness is the commandments, happiness is the word of God, the word of God is the word of God, the word of God is the word of God.

1:09:03How many more minutes do I have? As much as you want. Until tomorrow morning. We are working. I don't want to interrupt. I have a shiur for three hours. I cut it for fun. The story with Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel is that the king of Rome said nobody came to the Brit Milah. The people came and asked Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel, "What should we say?" The king said, Why? Because his skill, chas v'shalom, sakkanat nefashot. He is a baby boy. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, Rabbeinu HaKadosh, who compiled the Mishnayot. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi was born 52 years after the Churban Beit HaMikdash. He was born Rabbeinu HaKadosh. He compiled the Mishnayot. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi said, I lost the Brit Milah.

1:10:17He took him, the best man, going, the best man, to make the brit milah. There was a neighbor, Rav Sha, as he was going. He spoke with the, with the, with the... As the Amalke, the queen, she has a baby. She asks the Rabbis, why are you coming here? He says, we have a problem with the king. We make a brit milah. I said, no problem. We change the baby. We change the baby. You give me my baby. I give you your baby. The king doesn't know how to make a brit milah. Okay, it's good. It's a good idea. Okay. So what does he do? The baby is beginning to cry. Who is the baby, the king? Who is giving milk? His wife, Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel, his wife's mother, the mother of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. What did he take? Kiddusha. Kiddusha. Why? Because the mother of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi is holy. The Holy of Holies is righteous. Okay. After he goes inside, he says, I don't understand. Rabbi, why don't you keep my gezeira? Why don't you make bread for me? You want to see? See. He opens the chitul. He opens the chitul.

1:11:43No word? Why speak lashon hara? What did the king do? He killed the one who spoke lashon hara and said, I'm going to kill the ba'al lashon hara now. And who is the one who drinks the milk? Antoninus. Antoninus was a friend of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. He had a ma'ara that he learned Torah in. He was always a close friend of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. All the time, he put a lot of gold and a lot of money. He sent it to him from all the sages during the time of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. They were all rich. Why? Who gave the money? Who gave the money? Antoninus was the King of Rome. He himself, but he didn't feel what he was doing. He's put up, "I have some fruit, vegetables, and at the bottom I have some gold. I'm not going to make it too much." He goes, he wants to study Torah with Rabbeinu HaKadosh, but he says, "I have a ma'ara, a ma'ara."

1:12:45Yes, and he would enter the cave, and what would he do on the way? He would kill him; there were two of them, two every day. These are really the end of the house kill, the goyim. They have the seven commandments of Noach. Do not kill. They have to have the seven commandments of Noach. Over Menachem, in the name of Hashem, Gezer, Dinim, they discovered the cave, they shed blood, and the work was done. Seven commandments of Noach. So if it was because it was dangerous for people, one day, one day, he would want to go to bed, to sleep, Rabbeinu HaKadosh. He's king. So they said to him, Antoninus, please, you go up to me. You're king. He said, I wish in the next world that I will be under you. That's how he said to Rabbeinu HaKadosh. Also, there's a story, five minutes ago, really, the people, if people were to go, Chavot, Chavot, Chavot, Chavot. There is another story about a sheep that you know, the sheep, the same Zohar that says that Yosef HaTzaddik has sheep, also the Gemara in Masechet Beitzah. The Gemara says that there is an issue of pairs; Yosef HaTzaddik said that it is forbidden to eat in pairs. There are many places.

1:13:57He's doing everything in the name of Heaven. He's not too materialistic. He's going far, to any place. He's not too materialistic. So one day he was invited to a shed. A shed is not always a shed. He didn't know it was a shed. The mother of the baby said to him, "Be careful. This is my husband. He's a shed. She is the Jewish identity. She is also a shedim. She is a shedim. She is a shedim." How do you know if it's a man, a shed, or an angel?

1:15:07No eat, no drink, nothing. If you eat, you are good, you often do it. So he says, today I am in a dream. I dream, something in the night, I have a dream, I make a face. After the second day, please eat. Third day, he says, I have food, and I can't eat anything. So the father enters the room and says, come into my house. You see? He says, yes, this is my house. This is my G-d. He was rich, but what? He didn't give tzedakah. He says, I never give tzedakah. So he says, you see, I came to take all your money, but because you gave tzedakah in the name of the heavens and the name of the mitzvah, I will leave you alive. You see here how important the word is. I will just end with what G-d says in Sanhedrin, where G-d gives the commandment to meet with Rabbeinu Tam. G-d says there that they would always fight with this. So the Caesar said to Rabbi Tam, you must, we are the majority,

1:16:14He said, no, you have to be like us. We must, why? Who is the first Brit Milah? He said, what do you mean? He is Jewish. We are the first. He is first. You must become Jewish. He said, you are right. He said, there is one Jew there. He said, no, the king, the lord king, because he defeated you, he is going to gun you down, so you have to kill him. That was the law. What did they do? They took a piece of wood and threw it in the mountains. They threw it there. The mountains didn't do anything to it. They started to burn it. They set up a camp. They set up a camp. They destroyed a temple. So the goy said, please, Mr. King. The king got angry. He said, go out. The goy said, you know kings? The lion is not hungry. Put him two days, two nights, no eating. You see what the Jewish people do. Menorah, you sure? He says, I'm sure. The king took this guy and put him inside the gov arayot. Before he even went inside the gov arayot, you see from here how important the word is. Like the Holy Spirit says, that the word, the father, the son, who makes a covenant with his son, it's as if
