Current Events, Corona Virus & Cure Inside Torah

0:17all the new faces, old faces, always good to see everyone. We're starting a new week Today's shiur will be for a Refuah Shlema for Levana bat Sarah, David ben Esriah, Doris bat Jorah, Serach bat Batya, Batya bat Sarah, Dvora bat Mercedes, Esther bat Zipporah, and all of Am Yisrael, b'ezrat Hashem, will have a Refuah Shlema, refuat hanefesh, refuat haguf. So, a little bit of updates. Last week we publicized a couple of things. One is the new Megilat Esther, new Be'ezrat Hashem Megilat Esther. I have to tell you, even though it's really our production, I still have to compliment ourselves. It really came out beautiful. We gave out, Baruch Hashem, a bunch of them in Eretz Yisrael. And then we shipped a bunch of them out to California, to Atlanta.

1:25to New York, a few places, and a few other places I can't remember, on Friday, so B'ezrat Hashem will arrive there on Monday. All we have left is just a couple of hundred, maybe 300 left in my car for whoever wants to give out to their community, no more than 10 per kehillah. Because we want to reach, we're obviously not going to feed any one particular kehillah, this is just to get a taste of some of the work that we do, Baruch Hashem. uh 10 per kehillah um it's a really nice one. It has on one side, it has the Hebrew with some nice drawings and so on. You can see it online. I'm just looking at it pretending like you guys are seeing it, and then on the other side we have the English. We have the English for anyone that actually wants to understand what they're reading. You know, there are a lot of people, uh. go to the Megillat Esther and they listen, which is good, it's an obligation to listen, but they didn't do the homework before and didn't read it before, so they just listen, but they don't have a clue what he's saying.

2:32So it's a, really it will behoove you to read it before the actual holiday, so you actually know what's going on. Now, as far as this, again, at the end of the shiur, whoever wants to give them out in their kehillah, please do, but there is one requirement. One I already told you is the 10 per kehillah. Don't just drop it off somewhere and think like you did kiruv, you put 50 somewhere and you did a mitzvah, you didn't do a mitzvah at all. If you want to take some, please let me know. If not, we'll give them out. It's very easy to give them out. The few people that we've already given them to wanted more, but I told them that we're trying to reserve some for other places. the other requirement is that you have to put one of these cards inside the Megillah. I didn't have the time to do it myself, plus I figured I'd give you guys some work, some "slave labor," you know, some really hard work. Put one of these cards in it, so this also will get people to hopefully do teshuvah too.

3:33Once they watch, this is the movie card that we've been sending out all over the place. On one side is the movie poster, and on the other side is the QR code. You scan it with your phone, and it goes directly to our YouTube link of the movie about personal story teshuvah. uh, why are we doing what we're doing, and so on? This movie has already reached about 200,000 households around the world. Every single day, we're getting new people telling us that it moved them, helped them do teshuvah, and gave them chizuk. Just today, I received a few new emails from people. One particular guy, a very famous artist in Israel, was very moved by the movie. And there are many, many people that you've never heard of, but Baruch Hashem, they are getting closer to HaKadosh Baruch Hu because of this movie. So when you're giving out this Megillah, you're also giving people an opportunity to do teshuvah, to get closer to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, and hopefully come join us for this shiur if they're local. So that's the second thing. So take, if you don't have the cards, take some. I have some of those. I brought a whole carton of them in the car. Take some, give them with the Megillah, give some extra even without it.

4:44And b'ezrat Hashem, help Am Yisrael get closer to HaKadosh Baruch Hu because to cut to the chase, that's really the only cure. That's really the only cure we have for the current situation that we have in the world today. Now, the situation is this. We spoke about it already once or twice in the last couple of weeks. We spoke about it a little bit in New York. We spoke about it a little bit today. But it seems like every day, every day there's new discoveries, more dead people, more sick people, and more information that makes it scarier than before about what's happening with this coronavirus. To be honest with you, I'm not really scared of the coronavirus itself. And I don't necessarily think that people should be either. I don't think that people should go crazy buying masks, buying 100 cartons of water and beans or something, which makes a nice recipe for your stomach. I don't think you need to go crazy in regards to that. What I'm concerned with is the government.

6:00how the government is going to react to certain things and how they are reacting to it. The government sometimes is much more dangerous than the guns that they allow or don't allow, a lot more dangerous than the war they fight or don't fight. The way the government is actually reacting to it is different around the world. In China, initially, they hid it. They hid it from people because they already had research from Wuhan, from the scientists in Wuhan a year and a half ago about this virus, and they ignored it even though it was a published paper. There are many, many published papers in the scientific world that get ignored every single day, but everything that we know about this particular disease is actually already published in this paper. If somebody could open the door to let the young lady that's out there know that we're actually inside, yes? So, everything that we pretty much know about the coronavirus was already published a year and a half ago. After it came out to the public initially, the Chinese, and they still are, lying about the numbers—how many people are infected, how many people died. If it wasn't for every single person becoming a cameraman, we would still think there's only 300 people dead.

7:19But in reality, you're getting new videos every day of just people simply walking like regular people, looking like regular people, and just falling dead in the middle of the street. Or other sick people, mentally sick people, ...that are trying to infect other people, going into elevators and other public transportation, intentionally coughing and spitting on the walls and railings, and different things intentionally to spread their germs so other people get infected. So you're seeing that there's a sickness on both sides: mentally sick, physically sick, and both. And that's in China. Now, if that's not enough, they have gone to the point where they've closed down some cities... and even within those cities, aside from the public spraying of the streets and things of that nature, they've also gone to the point where they're simply going to certain buildings. They found out that one of the babies in the house coughed one time. Somebody said cough, sometimes he didn't even cough; it's just that the neighbor doesn't like him. He calls the government, they go to the house, they pretty much board the house, they lock everybody in. How are you going to live? Who knows?

8:29very much starving them to death. Why? Because maybe this baby is going to cough on a neighbor, on somebody else, and maybe you are going to get somebody else sick, so they have no value for life whatsoever. In China, there's zero value for life. There's zero value for the life of animals or people. It's the same thing to them. The only thing they value is money. That they love. They love money. They worship money. Even though they have other statues and so on, the whole thing is about money. I know; I deal with Chinese people on a regular basis in the business world. And I can tell you that money, for them, is God. So it's really the only reason why the Chinese billionaire that publicized a lot of this stuff didn't get killed because he has a lot of money. Otherwise, if some average Joe publicizes something, they kill him on the spot, or he just goes missing incidentally. So that's China. Iran, Baruch Hashem, is also getting the virus, and they're the second most infected place in the world. That's the reason because they get a lot of weapons and different machinery from China. So they don't close the border, so they're infected over there. Baruch Hashem, all of the wicked people over there will have the corona and not a cure.

9:40They have some people in Italy. Italy is the third most infected place. Baruch Hashem, today they announced that the Vatican has decided to shut down their doors. So, Baruch Hashem, for a little while, we're going to have less avodah zarah in the world. So that's also good news. Now, what's the bad news? The bad news is there are also Jews in many of these places. And there are also Jews in other places that are getting corona. For example, right now, there are between 25 and 40 confirmed cases in Israel. One of them is about an hour walk, or maybe about a 5-10 minute drive from Rabbi Ephraim's house in Yerushalayim. So there are people in Eretz Yisrael that have the coronavirus, Hashem yerachem. There are also people in the United States. The numbers keep going higher. There is a Jewish family in New York that has it. The whole family has it. And one of the people in the family traveled here to Florida.

10:40traveled here to Florida while he had it and obviously didn't know he had it. And the stupid news or the politicians behind it say, no, no, he went. He went to Florida, but he promised us he didn't shake anybody's hand while he was there. He promised us he didn't cough either. He promised us he was barely even breathing. He was holding his breath for like a week. It's like, I mean, you have to be, you know, clever to realize that their typical stupidity is stupidity. But now you don't have to be clever. You can be half-retarded and still figure out this doesn't make any sense. What do you mean he didn't cough? He didn't sneeze? What do you mean? He went to a different place just like anybody else. So the point is you cannot rely on the news for anything. You can't rely on the news. You can't rely on the politicians. And part of the reason is because they're doing their job. And their job is to make sure you don't panic. That's really their job. If they told you the real truth, you'd panic. And that's the truth. Now, this is all over the place. And it's going to continue being all over the place until HaKadosh Baruch Hu decides not to. Just like SARS and other epidemics that have hit the world in the past, HaKadosh Baruch Hu simply decided to stop it.

11:58one of the reasons why the page 12a says that who originally started the world where He was the only thing in it, and then He took a point; in essence, He minimized Himself, took a point, and expanded it essence created the whole universe. This is similar to what the scientists say in the world: the Big Bang. But the only difference is, the Big Bang, they say, started from nothing. Here, it says the Big Bang started from something. He minimized Himself because He was the only thing in the world. There was a point. He continued expanding it until He told it "Die! Stop!" He roared, and the whole world stopped expanding. And that's why His name is El Shaddai. El and the word "die," it says. Meaning that it's the God that said "die." The God that said "stop." So, the scientists in the world sometimes come close to the truth, but still live a life of falsehood because they don't want the truth. And unfortunately, there are many people like that in the world. No matter what, yeah, you can open it. It's okay. It's okay. We won't bite. Ladies, in the back. Same thing. Same entrance in the back. We don't have a second entrance.

13:10I'm like, sorry, but we'll get there. We'll eventually get there. So HaKadosh Baruch Hu is the one that created the world from nothing and told it to stop. Now the scientists are going to tell you, no, no, the world has continued to expand. What are they basing it on? They're basing it on the past. Because it expanded, therefore it's expanding. Because no one is alive long enough to see the world expanding. But they assume because it expanded, therefore it's expanding. So it’s a ridiculous thing. But nonetheless, that's what the scientific world bases itself on. And the reason for that is not because they're stupid, but rather because they choose to be. They choose to ignore the truth, and unfortunately, there are many people in the world today that choose to ignore the truth. You show them every proof in the world, and they still ask you more questions. Why? Just to see. Maybe you don't have a source for one of the 15 proofs you provided them. Maybe there's no source for one of them, so the other 14 are not valid. There are a lot of people like this, unfortunately, in the world. Now,

14:12continuing on with what's going on with this corona, this coronavirus, uh, is one of those things where HaKadosh Baruch Hu is trying to teach us some mussar. He's trying to teach us some things in order to get us to a point of desperation so we cry to HaKadosh Baruch Hu and say, "HaKadosh Baruch Hu, we're sorry, we'll do better." How do I know? It says it in the Torah a million and a half times. Says in the Torah, all the prophets came, every single one of them had one job. That job is to rebuke Am Yisrael, to tell them to do teshuva. That's the point of every prophet. Now, HaKadosh Baruch Hu made sure to bring every prophet to a different city. Because there's a klal that Abarbanel says, that no prophet goes back to his own city. So all of the prophets, you'll notice, they all went to different cities to rebuke them. And the reason why is because if a prophet went back to his own hometown, the people would remember him as he was before he became a prophet. So they're not going to listen to him. For example, people always tell me, how come you don't live in New York anymore? I lived in New York most of my life. When I come to New York, four or five hundred people show up to shiurim. It's much more than here. How come I don't go back over there? I said, because if I lived in New York, three people would show up.

15:28because I live in Florida, a lot of people show up. Same thing, same concept. Here, there are six people. Why? Because I live here. The reality is, HaKadosh Baruch Hu made sure to send a prophet to a strange city. Why? Because once you see a prophet a certain way, it's the first impression you have of him. You're going to pay attention to his words, and that's really the whole point. Now, for each one of these prophets, it was very important for people to listen to the message. Why? Because if they didn't listen to the message, punishment would follow. Because that's the last reserve. That's the last shot. Unfortunately, we're a difficult nation. We're a stubborn nation. We didn't listen many times. We sometimes even killed the prophets. Actually, every one of them we killed, with the exception of Moshe Rabbeinu. And that's only because HaKadosh Baruch Hu didn't allow it. If it was up to Am Yisrael, they would have killed Moshe Rabbeinu also. And unfortunately, the punishment followed. Now, why am I telling you all of this? Because we can learn from this. We can learn from this. We don't have prophets anymore. we don't have prophets, but prophecy comes from the world of speaking. Nevuah comes from the world to speak. So the speakers of today that tell the truth are, in essence, the prophets of the day. Even though they don't speak to HaKadosh Baruch Hu and HaKadosh Baruch Hu doesn't speak to them, in essence, He speaks through their mouth. If they're looking to help Am Yisrael do teshuva, Hashem will put words in their mouth. Now,

16:51The key is to understand that some of the message is going to be pleasant to hear. Some of the message is not so pleasant. Either way, you take both. And the reason why is because this is being said in order to help you, in order to help the person that's speaking it, in order to help the people that are listening to it. That's the whole key. But sometimes there are certain people that are not looking for the truth. They're looking for whatever is convenient for them. So they'll pick and choose what they listen to. So you tell them, listen, a pagam habrit is not allowed. Does everybody think that? Yes, everybody thinks that. Is there a machloket on the issue? No, not really, except when it comes to goyim, whether it's a karet for them also, it's just disgusting. Oh, so maybe I want to be like a goy. No, you cannot be a goy, you're already a Jew. Oh, but maybe somebody else that you don't know about said it also. Point is, listen, you want to play with your life? Go ahead, go do whatever you want. Go do what you want. You want to play with your life? Go do what you want. Sometimes people ask you, "Wait, but what about if maybe somebody said that it's allowed technically to do such-and-such, even though there's 20 people that said not allowed, but there's one that said it's allowed?"

18:06Maybe I should go with that one. You're not allowed to go with that one. Even if you found one. Why? It says, someone who goes with the leniencies of Beit Shammai and the leniencies of Beit Hillel is wicked. Don't look for leniencies. Don't look for either. Don't look for stringencies either. Someone who goes with the stringencies of Beit Shammai and the stringencies of Beit Hillel is a fool. It's a blind fool. Meaning, you're not supposed to look for only stringencies, and you're not supposed to only look for leniencies. Look for the emet. What does the Posek HaDor say? What does the Mishna Berura say? That's it, finished. Don't look for the one guy that's going to give you a leniency to be a rasha. Don't look for that. Why? Because HaKadosh Baruch Hu is not looking for that. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is looking for people that are going to live the emet. But sometimes people are looking to make their own emet. And this creates a lot of problems. Problems in kehilot, problems with shalom bayit, problems in many different areas. For example, the husband wants to be Rabbi Akiva, but the wife wants to be Izevel. Or vice versa. She wants to be Sarah Imenu, but he wants to be Korach, wants to make a new mitzvah.

19:13Don't do that. Have one Rav for the family, and everybody goes by him. That's it, finished. No, but I like my Rav, you like your Rav, good for you. So hopefully, your husband likes your Rav also. If he doesn't like your Rav, you have to go with his Rav. You can't have two different Rabbanim. Why? Because it becomes a problem. becomes a problem. Unless the husband doesn't mind that the wife has a different Rav, and the Rav understands the complication here. He understands that the other Rav sometimes has a different opinion on certain things. But that's playing with fire, Rabotai. It's playing with fire. There's just no need. Baruch Hashem, there's plenty of Torah in the world, there's plenty of good Rabbanim in the world that could direct you, but you have to make sure that you want the emet. If a person is looking for the emet, HaKadosh Baruch Hu will bring it straight to your door. If you're looking for sheker, He'll bring that straight to your door also. And that's why people always ask, how come there are certain people that are speakers, we've spoken against them in the past, they have so many followers, they have so many people, how come Hashem allows it? Hashem allows people to listen to those speakers because they were looking for that. The people that follow the Friedmans and the Goldbergs of the world, they're not victims.

20:30They're not victims. They wanted the sheker. They wanted the sheker. I promise you. I lived in Boca Raton. I saw the kehillah over there. There's a few of them over there that are really good people. They don't use Goldberg as their rabbi. They have a real rabbi. But the people that use him as a real rabbi, they want it. Why? Because they want to live a life full of sheker where every Shabbat there's 300 cars filling the parking lot and leaving the parking lot. They want it. Why? Because they're the ones that are driving. And he doesn't say anything. He tells them that you can even bring a missionary to the shul. No problem. They like it like that. Same thing with the other reshaim in the world. People that are looking for lies get a liar as a speaker. Where do we see this? We see in the Gemara in many places. The Gemara in Masechet Moed Katan and Masechet Shabbat says, "Someone that comes to become purified, wants to be an Ish Kodesh or an Isha Kedosha, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gives them a hand. Someone who wants to be a liar, lives a life of lies, HaKadosh Baruch Hu opens the door for them." He goes, "Yeah, there's a bunch of liars. There's a bunch of liars." Now, unfortunately, sometimes, the Satan...

21:40Satan has superpowers more than usual. He makes somebody look kosher when he's really a filthy liar. He makes somebody look kosher; he says kosher things, but the guy is a filthy liar. Just last week, a few days ago, I got probably one of the most shocking news I've heard, maybe in my life, about a certain Rabbi. I'm not going to say the name. Don't worry, you'll find out the name soon. That speaks strong Mussar. He's from Eretz Yisrael. Speaks the way he speaks. I don't listen to many shiurim, but a few clips I've heard of him, he speaks strong. Strong, strong. Not like half strong, strong. And they have him on camera. have him on camera. You can't even say this is not him. No, no, have him on camera. It's maybe 40, 50, maybe, somebody told me, it's maybe 80 different videotapes of this guy doing all types of filthy, disgusting things in a yeshivah with little boys.

22:53You see, you hear the guy speak. You see this video? You don't even know if you want to be Jewish anymore. You want to run away. You want to go to an island, hide by yourself. I don't want to know anybody. You can't trust anyone. This is why my Rav told me something. My Rav told me a long, long time ago. He has a rule: Do not honor any particular person. Honor his actions. If his actions are good, honor his actions. If his actions are no good, what are you honoring him for? That means that you're never going to be connected to one particular person and start idolizing him, like some people do in different kehillot. Whether they're idolizing the Lubavitcher Rebbe, or Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, or the Baal Shem Tov, or even Moshe Rabbeinu. You're not allowed to idolize people. Idolize their actions. We are supposed to connect to their actions. If the person is good, You serve, you do what you have to do. You help him with money, you help him with places, you help him with whatever you can. Why? His actions are good. He speaks well, he does good. Baruch Hashem. That's an Ish Kodesh. But if he ever changes, it's easy to leave. Why? You never idolize the guy. And you're not getting weakened by his actions. Why? Okay, he changed. He has a yetzer hara. You have a yetzer hara. His actions change. I'm no longer connected to this guy. Don't make Judaism about the Jew.

24:18Make it about the Torah. Make sure it's about the Torah. It's not about the individuals. Because sometimes you're going to see some big people do horrible things. And it's happened. It's happened throughout history. It's not the first time. It's not the last time. People think when they visualize Esav, they visualize Esav like a gangster. You know, you teach little kids about Esav, he looks like he's a gangster. In reality, Esav, if he came to the world today, he'd be a gadol hador. The way he looked, long beard, peyot, the whole thing. And he knew a lot of Torah. His father was Gadol HaDor, Yitzchak Avinu. But HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, "I hate Esav." Why? He knew the truth, and he still went against it. People think that Korach, Korach was an avaryan, was some type of criminal. Korach was a Navi. Korach was a prophet, spoke to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. You go try to speak to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, see if He answers you. Korach was a Navi. Korach saw in prophecy that Shmuel would come out of him. That's why he thought he was going to win the battle with Moshe Rabbeinu. He didn't realize that his three sons were going to do teshuvah at the last minute. He didn't realize it. But Korach knew a lot of Torah and gave a lot of tzedakah. Bar HaMasechet Shabbat says that's one of the reasons why Korach had 250 of the Gedolei HaDor follow him. Why? He gave them a lot of money.

25:43So their opinion started changing. By the time he said, "Let's go against Moshe Rabbeinu," they were already bought and paid for. So it's very important: you never ever follow the person; follow the actions. Because if you follow people, unfortunately, Rabotai, we're in the end of days. There's not that much time left—year, two years, five years, five days, I have no idea how much time. Don't quote me on time, but obviously, things are getting hot. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is closing the store, which means that a lot of crazy stuff is going to happen. Rabbis that look really good all of a sudden become the worst people on earth. Leaders that say one thing all of a sudden say something else. A lot of people are celebrating that Bibi Netanyahu won the election last week. There's a very good chance that this Amalek Avigdor and his friend Benny Gantz, they're going to be partners with Bibi. Why? He needs a couple more people for government. He's a politician, rabotai. He's a politician. He's not a Jew. He's a politician first. He cares less. He cares less about religion. He did whatever he did before the elections to get votes. Now he needs an extra couple. He'll sell his mother if he has to. He's a politician. Anyone that has a shiur Torah every Tuesday about Tanakh, but is a mechalel Shabbat, obviously shows you what he believes. He doesn't believe what he's reading.

27:02People are putting all their money on, "Oh, Bibi won, like we won, like it's Moshe Rabbeinu." Some idiot said, "Bibi, Mashiach Ben David." Hashem Yishmor, if that's Mashiach. Become a Buddhist; I think it's better. Rabotai, never trust a person. Never trust a person. Why? People are going to let you down. Actions, actions. Now, the situation in Eretz Yisrael is not getting any prettier either. El Al announced a week ago, if they don't get 220 million dollars within the next couple of weeks, they're gonna go bankrupt. It's not like America, where if one airline goes down, there are 15 other ones to replace them and a bunch of businessmen to buy new ones. That most likely means that Israel is going to give them the money. But the reality is there's nowhere to travel. Why? Because they're closing the borders everywhere, and that leads me to the first point. First point is, in regards to this coronavirus, I'm not necessarily so much worried about the actual virus itself; I'm worried about the government, what they're going to do. This means, Rabotai, that you should think twice and three times, especially if you're a family man or a family woman, before you travel anywhere. Why? Because there's a good chance they're not going to let you back. Not because you're sick, but because maybe somebody's sick. Maybe. Maybe.

28:26And it doesn't matter where you're going. It doesn't matter if you have to go all the way to Eretz Yisrael or to China or Tokyo. You go to New York and somebody over there coughed. That's it. You'll be stuck in a special bubble for the next three months. Now, if you have a family, that's not exactly a good way to spend Pesach. It's not a good way to spend your holidays, so you have to think twice before you travel and... So this is something critical. Why? Because right now everybody's panicking as far as the government, for the right reason. Because they want to contain it to a certain extent. But they're doing certain things a little bit too much because they have no feelings and they care less about who, what, when, and how, and even if things make sense. So as far as traveling, I personally am not going to travel. Don't ask me to come anywhere. Don't ask me to go anywhere. I'm lucky I'm allowed to come here. Seriously, family, kids, you have to just be careful. Remember, even though we Jews are allowed to live in America and speak freely—I could make fun of the president, I could make fun of their religion, I could do whatever I want because the law allows me to do it—at the end of the day, this is still Edom. Before the end of times, before Mashiach comes, America is not going to be the America you know.

29:53We're not home. No Jew is home. I don't care if you call yourself American. You're not home. Even if you don't keep any Torah and Mitzvot, you're not home. America is not home, by any stretch of the imagination. We live here, Baruch Hashem, because HaKadosh Baruch Hu allows us to live here, just like He allowed us to live in Germany, just like He allowed us to live in Spain, just like He allowed us to live in Iraq, in Bavel, just like He allowed us to live in Egypt, and a lot of other places. Until He doesn't allow it. Which means that things can change in an instant. Just a few hours ago, I got a message from one of my talmidim in Los Angeles, who told me that attacks are back with some people trying to kill Jews. You know, not good people, the bad types. So, some guy full of tattoos all over his face decided to just pick on a bunch of Jews and start attacking them. In the middle of Los Angeles. There's atzala everywhere. I don't know if it's on the news or not. I don't watch the news. But apparently there is a lot of damage in Los Angeles right now. Plain day in sight. It wasn't like he caught them in the corner like they were doing in New York. And started cursing Jews. Shows HaKadosh Baruch Hu is trying to get our attention. There's something wrong. Something wrong in the water. We've been living here in peace for 70 years straight.

31:08No problems. All of a sudden, the black people want to kill us? For what? What did we do to them? What did we do to them? Many of them are converting to Judaism. Obviously, we welcome black people. Many of them we do business with. Obviously, we have no problem with them. If anything, they should connect to us more than anybody else. We didn't make them slaves like the Americans did. We didn't go torture them like the Americans did, but no, they go against us. Why? Because it's not supposed to make sense. It's like HaKadosh Baruch Hu putting junk in people's heads to say, "No, that's you. Go, go." It's like robots. So don't start becoming racist because of what's going on. It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with HaKadosh Baruch Hu. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is making certain people do certain things. And trust me, if I told you, if it wasn't the black people, it'd be a bunch of Muslims. Wait till HaKadosh Baruch Hu wakes up the Muslims in this country. The Muslims have camps inside America already for years, probably for almost 20, 25 years I've known about this. They have camps, terror camps, terrorist camps inside America, where they train terrorists in those places, and the FBI knows about it. But they have no permission to go inside, although they have footage and everything.

32:19There's also concentration camps in America, in case you don't know. Places where they have nice places ready for a few million people to join. Lots of wonderful things are in a dome. So don't feel at home. On the other hand, don't panic either. This is all old information. It's new to you, but it's old information. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is only going to allow the ban to turn on when He chooses to. So when it comes to all of this chaos that we talk about, this is not to make anyone panic and think that if they're going to go on a one-way ticket to Eretz Yisrael, they're going to be saved. Because over there is also balagan. Over there are also problems. The only thing that's going to help us, Rabotai, is understanding the source of the problems. Now, the prophet Yechezkel, is known among all of the nations as the prophet who resurrected the dead. Meaning, the resurrection of the dead happened a couple of times in history already. There was one at the time of Moshe Rabbeinu where Am Yisrael was at Mount Sinai, and every time HaKadosh Baruch Hu said the Dibra, the commandment

33:34The holiness of His voice was so extraordinary that no one aside from Moshe Rabbeinu was able to handle it. So everyone died. Hashem resurrected them. He said the second commandment, they died again. Hashem resurrected them, and then He told Moshe Rabbeinu, "You go talk to them, we'll do whatever he says. We'll listen, we'll do, no problem." Why? Because if He continues talking, we'll die again. And death is painful. it's not like it looks in the movies. The guy goes to sleep and he dies. It doesn't look like that. That's just the movies. In reality, death is painful unless you're a tzaddik. If you're a tzaddik, it's like taking off your clothes and going to a different room. You know, you took off your suit, put on pajamas. That's not dying for a tzaddik. If someone is not exactly a tzaddik or a tzaddekes, death is painful. If anyone wants to know more details, watch the Iggeret HaRamban. It's within the first five shiurim, where we talked about Chibut HaKever. It's a nice section for anyone who doesn't have Yirat Shamayim; by the end of that first section, you're afraid of everything. Right? That's the reality. Death is not exactly pleasant. So Am Yisrael did not want to die. Third time. You fast forward...

34:47Yechezkel goes and he sees there's hundreds of skeletons. No flesh. Nothing. They called it dry bones. And HaKadosh Baruch Hu miraculously puts flesh back on these bones. But these bones and these now bodies don't have any life in them. And he says... In the section, chapter 37, Yechezkel says, so I prophesied, in chapter 37, verse 7, so I prophesied as I had been commanded, there was a sound as I was prophesying, then behold, there was a noise, and the bones drew near, each bone to its matching bone. Then I looked, And behold, upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and skin had covered them over. But there was no spirit in them. Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the Spirit! Prophesy, O son of man! And say to the Spirit, 'Thus said the Lord Hashem, Come from the four directions, O Spirit, and blow into these slain people, that they may come to life.'"

36:10i prophesied as I had been commanded, and the Spirit entered them, and they came to life. They stood upon their feet, a very, very great legion. So here we see mamash, a resurrection of the dead, and the rest of the world found out about it. Because it wasn't like one or two people, it was hundreds of people, and they all came back to town, and they told about what happened to them. They were witnesses of their own resurrection. So that's why there's no nation that believes in the Torah that says it didn't happen. Now, inside this section is a small hint about what's going on today. Now, when you see some of these very disturbing videos of people in China and other places where they have the coronavirus and they're apparently not taken care of, people, the way they look—they look normal.

37:25They don't look like they have any type of abscesses coming out of their face or something, eyes bulging, any rash of any kind. They look normal. But suddenly, the person walks, walks, walks, and it's as disturbing as can be. It looks like it's a movie, but then after you see five, ten of them, you realize this just keeps coming. This cannot be all; this is not Hollywood. You see these people walking around, and they just drop dead. So it's like a body, but there's no soul in his body; he just drops dead. Now, although this is not common, especially now that we know what's going on and so on, nonetheless, it's happened and it's still happening. In verse number 8, in this section about the dry bones, Then I looked, and behold, upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and skin had covered them over, but there was no spirit in them. In the section where Ezekiel says there's a body, but there's no soul. You'll find the virus Corona. In the word Vayikra,

38:49And the word Vayikra, you have the letter Kuf. You count nine spaces, and you get to the letter Vav. You count nine more spaces, you get to the letter Resh. Nine more spaces, you get Vayomer, that's another Vav. Nine more spaces, you get the Nun. Nine more spaces, you get the Hey. So in the same place that HaKadosh Baruch Hu gives us a prophecy of something that happened in the past, He also tells us about something that's happening in the future. Now someone can say, you know, the naysayers are going to say, yeah, but how come you couldn't tell before? Well, there are a couple of reasons for that. Number one, You have to know what you're looking for. We didn't know if a corona existed until it came to being. Now, HaKadosh Baruch Hu obviously knew, but He doesn't tell us this. One reason is because prophecy ceased to exist already since the time of the Beit HaMikdash. There's no more prophecy except for young children and crazy people. Sometimes they're given prophecy.

40:11So you'll see certain people, for example, in the world. Sometimes you'll have little kids who have strange dreams that are sometimes prophetic. Sometimes. Not always. Most of the time it's complete nonsense and imagination of the kid. But sometimes there are special kids throughout history who have been given dreams of certain things that are going to happen. second thing is people that have all types of, uh, mental, uh, deficiencies, autistic kids, uh, and the like, have different understandings of the world than us. They don't communicate to the world the same way we do. For example, one very famous autistic, uh, he's not a boy anymore; he's already a young man, by the name of Daniel in Israel. He's already been telling people things about the future, the present, and so on for at least 10 years. But prophecy does not come in a normal traditional way, and even for those people, it's not on a regular basis. In the past, prophecy was common ground. Prophecy—you had many prophets. In the history of Am Yisrael, we had almost 1.2 million prophets. So the first reason we don't know this beforehand is because we don't have prophecy. The second reason we don't have this is because HaKadosh Baruch Hu does not want to alter our free choice.

41:30So, He doesn't want us to get to know certain things that are going to happen, and therefore that's going to impact our judgment. He wants us to do teshuvah because it's the right thing to do, not necessarily because we know that the world is going to end at a specific date or that Mashiach is going to come at a specific date, and so on and so forth. There's already enough information without prophecy in the Torah that shows anyone who's paying attention that you should do teshuvah. Now, some people think that they're religious enough and they don't have to do teshuvah. That alone means you have to do more teshuvah than everybody else. If you don't think you need to do teshuvah, that means you need to do teshuvah more than everybody else. Why? Because you think you're good. It's like someone that has corona but thinks he's healthy and wants to be a doctor. So, now, what's the cure? What's the cure for this issue? Another prophet that we have by the name of Tzefania. Tzefania's prophecy is very short. It's a very short book. You're only talking about three chapters in the whole book. In the third chapter, in verse number seven, HaKadosh Baruch Hu says—actually, it even starts at verse number six—HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, "I have eliminated nations."

42:58Their towers have become desolate. I've destroyed their streets without passerby. Their cities have become ruins without people. So there is no inhabitant. Meaning, if you go right now to China, there are many places in China right now where there's nobody in the streets. There are no cars, no people, not even cats. Nothing. The number one leading economy in the world is almost turned off. ...and other places around the world are following suit. I said, "Just fear Me, accept mussar, so that her abode would not be terminated despite all that I've ordained upon her." But instead, they arose early and corrupted all their deeds. Here, HaKadosh Baruch Hu says to us, "The reason why I do all of this to the nations, I bring plagues on them, tsunamis on them, earthquakes on them, why do I do all of it?" The Gemara in Masechet Yevamot says, "Everything that happens in the world, it's only for the sake of Am Yisrael." Meaning, this coronavirus, the tsunamis, the earthquakes, the panics, the market crash, everything is because of you.

44:19You that are watching, you that are listening, you that are not listening but are Jews. It's all because of you. Why you? Because HaKadosh Baruch Hu is trying to teach you mussar. Learn from what they did and don't do it. What did the Chinese people do? What did the Iranian people do? What did the Italian people do? Let's list them. Okay, so first off, HaKadosh Baruch Hu has rules. He says, whether you're a Jew or a non-Jew, you have to have mercy for the creation. Why? Because they're all My creations. Jews, when they eat food, it has to be kosher. That means that the slaughter has to be in a humane way. You can't slaughter like the Arabs, where they just pretty much chop off the cow's head. And they don't care about how much it suffers. And you see a kosher slaughter; it's not exactly the prettiest thing in the world, and it's not like the cow is having a good time or anything. Let's not mistake ourselves. But it's a humane thing to do. They do it in a certain humane way, or at least it's supposed to be. The Chinese, on the other hand, not only do they not slaughter their animals, but they eat many of their animals alive. They cook them alive.

45:28... this is not humane; this is vicious. This is something that a human being should not even be able to tolerate. There's a video that someone sent me of the different markets they have in China where they buy food. You pretty much see there are literally living animals being cooked alive—dogs, cats, bats, rats; it doesn't make a difference. They eat anything. Now, a lot of people say, oh yeah, it's because they eat bats. No, it has nothing to do with the bats. They've been eating bats for centuries. It's not the bats. It's the fact of how they do it, how vicious they are. There are many videos and many examples of how they literally eat animals alive. This, whether you're a Jew or a non-Jew, is forbidden. Noahides are forbidden from eating animals while they're alive. not allowed to chop off the leg of a horse or a dog or some animal and let them, you know, hop on three while you have a nice steak. Not allowed to do such things; that's vicious. You're not supposed to be vicious. You want to eat him? No problem, eat him, but at least kill him first. There's no reason why they should suffer extra. That extra little bit of suffering? That's too much. That's a sin, a sin against creation. The second thing is

46:44Baruch Hashem, I'm assuming none of you guys know about this, and I hope you remain ignorant about this, but this will be a chiddush to most people. Unfortunately, the znut, because they have no value for life whatsoever, the Chinese, they have no value for life whatsoever, the amount of prostitution that is in China is beyond any other place in the world, and it's not because they have more people. It's simply because they have no value for human life, but a lot of value for money. so many of the people that travel to America and don't have a way to find themselves, they start off with prostitution. So many of the prostitutes that you have in all the cities all over America, Europe, and so on, many of them are from China. Why? Because they have no value for their body, for modesty, or anything like that. They do back home, they do here, especially if you want to pay them. So it's immorality. Immorality is forbidden for all nations.

47:47So when HaKadosh Baruch Hu sees that people are immoral and they waste seed and there are all types of prostitution and so on, HaKadosh Baruch Hu hates this. Now, interestingly enough, the coronavirus was named Corona. The reason why it was called Corona is because the virus itself under a microscope looks like a crown. Crown of HaKadosh Baruch Hu. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is the one who invented this Corona. It's not a biochemical weapon. HaKadosh Baruch Hu made this. But what's more, Corona is also the medical name for the male member. The male member is called a corona. The top part of the male member is called a corona. That's what it's called. When people are immoral and promiscuous, that male member is violated. Whether you're a Jew or a non-Jew, it's forbidden. Now, needless to say, it's forbidden for Am Yisrael. But unfortunately, today we have a generation of ignorant people, where most Jews today do not even know it's forbidden.

48:59To be promiscuous. To be promiscuous with yourself or with somebody else. Most Jews don't know, and I'm not talking about secular Jews. I'm not even referring to secular people. They don't even know they're supposed to keep Shabbat. I'm talking about religious people. I have rabbis, avreichim, talmidim, yeshiva bochurim, all calling me, sending me messages to no end. after they first discovered that you're not allowed to waste seed from one of my videos. If you have to rely on somebody like me to learn about this mitzvah, that the Shulchan Aruch calls the worst sin in the entire Torah, although I love the merits, although it's fantastic that HaKadosh Baruch Hu for some reason decided to give me the merit of being the person that helps people do teshuvah for this particular sin in the English language, it's a sad reality. It's not something to celebrate. It's a sad reality that you have an entire generation of religious people that don't have a clue of how much of a disaster wasting seed is, being immoral is.

50:05This immorality that starts in childhood, as soon as the kid hits puberty, if he doesn't know that this sin is mamesh to Satan himself and doesn't get it under control, he will ruin his life little by little with no one noticing. Why? He'll develop desires that are not normal and not natural for a Jew or even a human being. If you notice, the desires that people have in our generation are not normal. although homosexuality has always existed, bestiality has always existed, prostitution has always existed, pedophilia has always existed, all of this filth has always existed—we have it even in the Tanakh. It's mentioned in the Tanakh that bestiality existed, it talks about all types of filthy people that were with animals, and homosexuals and so on, but it was still relatively a minority of sick people, Now it's like every second guy you meet, every second girl you meet, is promiscuous or has some type of mental sickness. And they don't even think it's sick. Why? They learn it from their parents. They learn it from their school. They learn it from TV. They learn it. It's publicly acceptable. I remember as a kid, I didn't grow up religious. I remember watching shows on television, you know, this was like Channel 9, the one that's not cable.

51:27It's supposed to be, you know, like the ones that are somewhat contained. You watch these shows where the guy tells his wife, "Oh, you don’t want to do it; I want to do it," in different words. Now, I think about it 30-something years later, and I said, "Hashem Yishmor!" This was already a 9- or 8-year-old kid learning about this stuff between a man and a woman, and he doesn't even know himself yet. And what happens with the show? Everybody's like, ah, it's so funny. Oh, "Married with Children." Wow, Al Bundy is so funny. What's so funny? He's teaching your kid about promiscuity, you moron. How come it's funny? Why? Because we become desensitized. We become desensitized. We don't realize it's bad. This is the only time we've had this in history. Never before, where the average kid is already addicted to himself by the time he hits puberty. average kid is looking for a wife on a weekly basis, and his parents say, "Ah, how many girlfriends do you have, kid? How many girlfriends do you have? Tell your father, tell your father," like his father is proud of him that he has 18 girlfriends. He doesn't realize how far his genome is going to be. The father is not just the kid's. Why? Every one of these girlfriends, you're not going to marry her, right?

52:49So aside from the obvious sin of niddah, aside from the obvious sin of wasting seed, aside from that, you know what other sin you're forgetting about? Hurting a bat Yisrael. Why? You're not going to marry her. You're not going to marry her. So the little tzaddeket, 12, 13, 14, 15 years old, she loves you. Why? You're the first one she's ever been with. She told you she's gonna marry you. But then you say, no, you're not for me. It's not about you. It's about me. It's about you. It's about me. All the shtuyot guys put in their head. And guess what? HaKadosh Baruch Hu, it's not about you. It's about me. It's Gehinnom for you, not for me. It's for you. It's for you. It's not for me. Why? You hurt one of my daughters, you rasha. You treated one of my daughters as a prostitute. It's not for you, it's for me. You heard about Yisrael? You know what HaKadosh Baruch Hu is going to do to a person who hurt a bat Yisrael? Imagine, you have a kid.

53:50How long did you work to have this kid? You finally found the right wife. You finally found the right husband. Now you have this kid, who is a miracle. A miracle. Some putrid seed and some egg somehow connect. Nine months later, there's a little baby. Now you can't sleep. Pretty much forever. Why? Because the kid needs to be up and you have to be up with the kid. Now you're changing diapers and dealing with all types of things. And now you're working a third job just to pay for this kid, to feed the kid and bathe the kid and put clothes on the kid, to make sure he has this and he has that and you have him toys. And you do everything to make sure this kid stays alive. You wake up in the middle of the night just to look at the kid, just to see he's alive. Why? I don't know. He looks like he's not breathing. Looks like she's not breathing. Oh, breathing? Okay, I'm going back to sleep then. As soon as you fall asleep, you're back up again. And you go, and you do this. You do this. There's no sleep. There's no work. There's nothing. You have no brain until the kid's pretty much too old. You put everything you have into this kid, and some filthy pig touches your kid and violates her. He says, "No, it's not for you. It's me."

54:58She comes home to you crying. "I didn't tell you I had a boyfriend, and he dumped me after a week. But I did something I shouldn't have done. I'm pregnant. I've been violated." What normal father, what father would not want to take this kid and just make him into a shish kebab? How much did you slave after your kid? How much did you try? You must sacrifice of yourself to make sure this kid stays pure, and some filthy pig touched her and violated her. Not only that, he broke her heart too. Now you think you feel more than HaKadosh Baruch Hu? HaKadosh Baruch Hu has been waiting for this kid for 3,300 years. You touched her, you broke her heart, you'll have to fix it. You have a bad education, your father’s telling you, "How many girlfriends do you have, kid?" as if it's a good thing. Don't worry, there's punishment waiting for them also, but it's not going to absolve anybody from it. But this is the only generation where this has become normal. Rashi, 900 years ago in France, pretty much today the filthiest place on earth. Today, znut is welcome and everywhere.

56:24900 years ago was very different. How do I know? Rashi lived in France. They asked him, what about the women over there? Do we have to be concerned about, you know, when someone finds a shidduch from France, let's be concerned about whether they were with somebody? Because now, where we are, we can already rely that even the goyot are virgins before they get married. Needless to say, the Jews... Rashi, in France, didn't have to worry about this. Here, you can't even not worry about it if you're in Yerushalayim sometimes. Needless to say, in Florida, New York, Hashem Yishmor V'Yatzil, everywhere else, virginity has almost become something rare. They make fun of you for being a virgin today, calling you all types of names. Oh, you're this, you're prude, you're that.

57:24Now, if you think this is just in the secular world, you're mistaken. I have a group of young kids tell me, "Listen, Rabbi, I don't know, you're kind of confusing me." I did a shiur three, four years ago in New York about Gittin. A bunch of young yeshiva boys came to the shiur. After the shiur, they stayed with me, I don't know, until three, four o'clock in the morning asking questions. They said, "Rabbi, you're confusing us." I said, "Why?" They said, "I don't know, we are..." We have a rabbi that we asked these questions, and he said to us, "Listen, if she's not Jewish, it's okay. You need to practice before you get married." Rabbi, rabbi, rabbi, rabbi, rabbi, and then bye. But that's what we have today. we have today, we have people like this, meaning you cannot trust people. You cannot trust people; you have to trust their actions. If their actions and their words are in accordance, no problem, no problem. But if they say things that are violating the Torah, it doesn't matter what his title is, it doesn't matter what his title is, it doesn't matter what our title is.

58:38This is the only time in history where you have a situation where people are so confused they don't even know who to listen to. You put on some show, you think it's a show, it ends up being something that makes you confused. So now you have a situation where around the world the promiscuity is rampant. Either people with themselves or with other people, but what ends up happening is that people eventually become desensitized much earlier. I read a study that was done by a team of scientists about the pornography industry. Now don't worry, they don't show any pictures, Baruch Hashem. This is legitimate research. And the research says that one of the biggest poisons in the generation that we have right now is the epidemic called pornography. And the reason why is because it's very easy to get addicted to it. The whole internet was built based on pornography, by the way. Originally, the internet started as a government project, but then it went into people's homes because it was all porn sites.

59:48There are somewhere in the neighborhood between 80 or 800 million websites full of pornography. It's everywhere; it's a complete disaster. But a lot of people don't realize the logistics behind it, what goes on behind pornography. One of the facts is the fact that people watch so much of it, because it's free, that they become desensitized to things that are normal, meaning normal men and women. so they become desensitized to it, so they want something more. So what's more? Now they want multiple people. If that's not enough, they want the whole dialogue to be abnormal. So they start giving you the number one most popular pornography that there is today: a dialogue based on incest. This means people are watching this and, in many cases, learning about intimacy from it. From a story that talks about something that's incestuous, that's abnormal to any human being. A guy with his mother, his sister, his brother. Filthy, disgusting things. And if that's not enough, it's not enough. They continue watching it. Then they start moving on to homosexuality. And then eventually it becomes bestiality. That's why right now in America, there's 1% of the population. Now, 1% in Israel is not a lot of people. 1% in America is about 4 million people.

1:01:11admit that they commit intimacy with animals on a regular basis. Talk about four million people in America who admit that they commit intimacy with animals. This is where we live. It's the ones that admit; who knows how many don't admit. I so I'm not trying to, to, to talk to you about taboo things for some type of, uh, clicks. I'm explaining to you that we're in a sick generation, and there's a reason for it. He writes the reason why Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, all these resha'im that lived a few thousand years ago, it's mentioned that they were with animals. He says the reason why people get to that point is because they fulfill every one of their desires, normal desires, to the point where it's no longer enjoyable. They have to go towards something more taboo.

1:02:18So they start expressing themselves in different, more provocative, filthy ways. Eventually, that's not enough. And they keep doing more and more and more different things. Now, the prostitution world is one of the most critical places that allows all of this to happen. Because a lot of people are not going to fulfill their filthy desires with their wife or with their husband, who are they going to do it with? Somebody from China that's looking to make a few hundred bucks and doesn't care about her body, doesn't care about her morals, doesn't care about anything. And the reality is, Rabotai, when a person causes other people to sin, HaKadosh Baruch Hu says you've lost your right to live. Now, this promiscuity has led an entire generation of ignorant people that don't even understand the magnitude of the sin to become completely ignorant of what they're doing to society at large. Right now, we have a situation where people are watching these filthy films, and in many cases, according to this study by these researchers, by these scientists, they say that many of the films are not even what people assume, meaning that the actors want to be there.

1:03:44Many times the actors don't want to do it. Many times it's rape. Many times when you're paying $5, $50, $500, whatever you're paying for one of these filthy movies, many times you're witnessing a rape. She doesn't even want to be in it. She's some nobody in the middle of nowhere that said yes to the wrong guy. And that's it. He's taping her. No one's ever going to know who she is after that. That is much of the pornography films in the world today. So what ends up happening is that when people watch pornography, not only are they committing a sin against themselves and against HaKadosh Baruch Hu, but also against mankind. They are facilitating this type of rape, they're facilitating this type of behavior, they're facilitating the prostitution in the world. And many of these victims, Hashem, they're damaged for life. Even though they've made their own mistakes, they never thought this was going to happen to them. Now, what ends up happening, Rabotai, is that HaKadosh Baruch Hu at some point says, dai. Enough. Enough is enough.

1:05:00And He says, "I'm going to bring something that's going to scare everyone—Jews, non-Jews. It's going to scare those paying attention and those not paying attention. It's going to scare the young and the old." And He brings a plague to the world. He brings some type of major damage to the world. And He says, "Am Yisrael, you have to learn mussar from this. You see that they’re dying like flies?" You have a lesson to learn from this. Don't do what they do. They kill animals and eat them while they're still alive? Don't do that. Even if you're on vacation. They're promiscuous with their bodies and care less about human life? Don't do that. Even if you're on vacation, even if you're divorced, even if you're married, even if you're young, even if you're old, even if you're rich, even if you're not. Don't follow their actions. You're not them. Whether you like it or not, you will never be a goy if you're born a Jew. If you converted to Judaism, once you become a Jew, you're going to stay a Jew and you'll be judged as a Jew. That doesn't mean that you'll go to Gan Eden. Like some people think, just because you're a Jew, you're going to Gan Eden. That's daydreams. That's hallucinations. Gemara Masechet Sanhedrin has a whole 11-12 dapim about it, about all the different types of people that do not go to Gan Eden.

1:06:24Anyone who wants to know a little bit of the details, go read Sha'ar HaGemul. Sha'ar HaGemul, the Ramban writes in detail that certain people do not go to Gan Eden. And how it would not make sense for Gehenom to be short. An instant. Like some people think, no, no, it's maximum 12 months. Maximum 12 months. If it's maximum 12 months, we should all become sinners. Why? Maximum you get 12 months. Even murder in this world receives a longer sentence than 12 months. That means that anyone who's a criminal, whether he's a Mechalel Shabbat or a murderer, is eventually going to be in the same place as Moshe Rabbeinu after 12 months maximum. We've turned Hashem into a Rasha, chas v'shalom. He's judging everyone the same way. Mechalel Shabbat, murderer, rapist, pedophile, thief—everybody goes 12 months, that's it, finished. Ramban says you have to understand, this is against the Torah. This is heresy. Anyone that says the maximum sentence in Gehinom is 12 months is a heretic, 100%. You cannot count them in a minyan, the Ramban says. Why? It cannot be that all sinners are punished the same way. I'm talking right now, one second. It cannot be that everyone is punished the same way. It's not possible.

1:07:43And that's why the Gemara in many places says that there are sinners that go to Gehinom for 12 months, but there are sinners that go to Gehinom till eternity, until the soul is destroyed, which could be millions of years. Now, I spoke to a very famous speaker last week, who said some foolish things about Gehinom, hoping that he would say something different during a phone call. And Baruch Hashem, he did. The problem is, I realized the whole agenda here, and I'm not really sure if I got the news that I wanted. Now, at one point in his lecture, he says that, ah, Gehinnom, what, people think it's fire? It's not fire. It's not fire. Ah, what, you think that Gehinnom is forever? It's not forever. Now, both of these statements make him a heretic. Now, other than what he just said, everything else that I've heard from this person was pretty good. I don't exactly watch shiurim, but again, people have sent me shiurim, asked me questions about certain things he said, and it's pretty good. But once you just said that Gehenom is not forever, even though the Torah says it is, and once you said that Gehenom is not fire, even though there are many sources that say it is fire, that's heresy, that's changing the Torah, changing the Divrei Chazal.

1:09:03Anyone that wants to know Torah proofs of how Gehinom being eternal and so on and so forth, you can see Parshat Korach. Where do you think Korach went? To the Taj Mahal? Where do you think Korach went? It says Gehinom Sheol in Parshat Korach twice. Gehinom being eternal, you go to the book of Isaiah, last verse. He says certain people go to Gehinom for eternity. It says it clearly. It's not like a parable. There are many places in the Torah that say so. Anyone that says otherwise is making a mistake. Gemara Masechet Rosh Hashanah, page 16b, 17a, in both places, there's Gehinnom that's 12 months, Gehinnom is eternity, meaning it's either this or it could be much longer. So you cannot say it's only one year, you cannot say it's not fire. And then you can see many, many chachamim talk about fire. The Gemara says there's different types of fire, there's blue fire, there's green fire, and so on and so forth. So finally, I got this guy on the phone, and I wanted to find out, why did he say what he said? When I spoke to him, I said, listen, you're saying that it's not fire. I can give you probably a thousand sources of sages that say it's fire. And there are different types of fire. The Gemara says there are seven types of fire. He goes, yeah, but it's not fire like here.

1:10:17He said, "Obviously, it's not fire like here. It's not fire like here. It's 60 times worse. The lowest fire over there is 60 times worse than the highest fire over here. Obviously, it's not the same one, but it's still fire." He goes, "Yeah, but it's not really a fire. It's an agent that Hashem uses." What is he saying, agent? Agent is like saying, it's not a hammer, it's a tool. Yeah, obviously a hammer is a tool, but why would you call it a tool if you could just say it's a hammer and be more precise? And then when I said, okay, what about the million, you know, the Gehinnom couldn't last forever. You said it's not forever. He goes, well, it's not really forever. I said, do you mean it's not really forever that it's maximum one year? Like everybody gets one year. He goes, no, no, it could be much longer than that. I said, well, yeah, it could be a million years. He goes, yeah, of course, it could be a million years. i said, so why did you say it's not forever? He goes, because a million years is not forever. And that's when I got the point. I mean, it took me actually after the conversation ended, that's when I really got the point. And what it is, is that even the ones that say the truth are so uncomfortable with it, that they minimize it. Why? Because if I tell you it's fire, it's scary. If I tell you it's an agent,

1:11:39That sounds much nicer. If I tell you forever, oh, I get depressed. Why? Maybe I'm gonna go forever. If I tell you it's not forever, I'm not really telling you it could be 100 million years. It's just not, it's not forever. Now, to every normal human being, if I say it's a million years, 100 million years, you say it might as well be forever. But if I say it's not forever, it's technically not a lie. But that's what the Ramban calls despicable in the name of the Torah. Distorting the truth in order to appease people. It's not forever. You're right, it's not forever, but it's a million years, it's a hundred million years, it could be a thousand years. Yeah, of course it could be. But they didn't ask me. So you're going to let them assume themselves that it's not forever. Assume that it's a maximum of a year. You just pretty much ruined their own judgment, their own clarity of the Torah. Hence the reason why we have a generation of people that do not know the truth unless you look for it yourself. Unless you look for yourself, unless you start opening the books yourself. Stop asking me for sources. Start opening books yourself. People every day send me three, four, five hundred questions a day. Can you give me a source for this? Give me a source for this. Give me a source for this. I don't have a problem. Why don't you look for yourself first?

1:13:01Go on Google, go to the Beit Midrash, go open some books. Try at least. Don't make me Google all day. Source for this, source for that, source for this. What, what, you're looking for me not to have one? Is that what you're looking for? I said something in a lecture, and you're looking for the one thing I don't have a source for, so therefore you cancel out the entire shiur? If that's what you're looking for, why even bother asking? Just become a rasha and leave me alone. At least I'll help somebody who doesn't want to be a rasha. But that's the reality, Rabotai. Sometimes the Yetzer Hara plays a trick on us. He tells us, "No, no. Ask him for a source. See what happens." And I'm not available. I'm in, I don't know, Montreal or something. I'm in some place in the world. I can't answer the text. "Ah, see, see, see. He's not answering. See, he's not answering. He probably doesn't have one. He doesn't have a source. See, I told you he's a liar. See, let's listen to Manis." Rabotai, stop fooling ourselves. Stop fooling ourselves. That's what Amalek wants us to do. Now, right now, we have a prophecy. All of these dead bodies we've seen from the prophet Yechezkel. HaKadosh Baruch Hu told us He's eliminating all of these nations in order for us to accept mussar. In order for us to learn from it. What does He want us to learn? Just fear Me, He says. Accept the mussar. So that her abodes, the damage that I caused on her,

1:14:31Would not be terminated despite all that I've ordained upon her. He says, don't be fools. Don't just look at coronavirus, market crash, and everything that's happening in the world and say, no, it's going to go away. It's going to be okay. I'm being optimistic. Let's be optimistic. Why are you so negative? It's okay. It's okay. Stay. Why are you being so negative, Rabbi? Why are you being so negative? Let's be optimistic. Optimism, rabotai, is for a time when we have the permission to be optimistic. Right now we have to be realistic. Reality is that we have to do teshuva. Every single one of us with no exception. Starting with me. Everyone has to do teshuva. Everyone has to do something. If you're already in the frum world, then get to the point where you realize that there are other people who are not frum. Start caring about them. Too many frum people care less about the non-frum people. No, I'm okay, so what's the difference? All my family's okay, everybody's keeping Shabbat. Oh, so you're waiting to have somebody in your family that's not keeping Shabbat, then you're going to start caring? There are other people in the nation. They're not so frum. You know a few things; start teaching, start doing something.

1:15:50start doing something to help the people that don't know. This is not one of those times where people need to be humble. "Oh, I don't know how to speak. I'm not a good speaker." Moshe Rabbeinu wasn't a good speaker either, you know. That's already more than 90% of the nation. Start sharing that knowledge with the local community. One, two, three, four, five guys. Start teaching, start doing something. You can’t teach, can’t speak at all? Okay, what do you do all day? You make money? Okay, so use your money to do kiruv. If you're a frum person, you know the truth, you have to realize you are more responsible for the secular person than the secular person is responsible for you. Why? Because you know the truth. They don’t. They’re living a lie. That’s what the Gemara Masechet Shabbat says at the time of the Beit HaMikdash. HaKadosh Baruch Hu originally was going to save the righteous people, save the frum people, religious people. He told one of the malachim, go put a taf on their head. Why? They followed Torah from Aleph to Taf, Gemara Masechet Shabbat, 55. Why? Because those people, they followed the entire Torah. Malach HaMavet comes, says, no, no, Hashem, there's one mitzvah they missed. One mitzvah,

1:17:10They missed the mitzvah of rebuking their brother. They knew the truth and their brothers didn't know the truth. They knew to keep Shabbat, but their brothers didn't know about keeping Shabbat. So Hashem tried to fight for the nation, tried to fight for the religious people. He said, yeah, but this generation was so horrible, even if all the religious people came to all the secular people and said, "Hey, Mr. Zionist, hey, Mr. Secular, hey, Mr. Mustafa, you think you're Mustafa, hey, hey, stop, you have to do teshuva," they wouldn't have listened. Malach HaMavet, Hashem yishmor v'yatzil, says to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, "He says, Hashem, you know it, but they didn't know." You know that they wouldn't have listened. But they didn't know. Therefore, they were still obligated to go help each and every single person, even if they got the door shut in their face. This means, Rabotai, if you know Aleph Beis, you know Parashat HaShavua, you know a little bit of Gemara, you know a little bit of Mussar, you have to start helping people. Either with money or with your mouth. If you have neither, then you have time. Okay, take some flyers, give them out to people.

1:18:24You have to do something. Why? HaKadosh Baruch Hu is closing the store. You don't want to be one of those people that says, no, no, I was frum, my family's frum, everybody's okay. Everybody's not okay. Kol Yisrael arevim zeh lazeh. Everybody's responsible for each other. Now, what about the rest? There are other people. Then you have the secular people. Secular people are completely in left field. Some of them are lefty liberals. They think that homosexuality is a blessing. Some of them think that Zionism is a good thing. Because they don't realize that Herzl was really a Christian. They don't realize that many of the founders of Zionism wanted to kill Jews more than the Christians did. They don't realize this because they don't teach this in school. They have streets in Eretz Yisrael named after anti-Semitic people. There's no more anti-Semitic people than the Zionists, especially the original founders. You think that Avigdor Lieberman and Benny Gantz are the first anti-Semitic people? They're just the most current ones that are blunt about it. They say that if they were elected, the first thing they would do is attack the Torah, close all the yeshivot, all funding, all kollelim, all everything. First thing they would do, as if we have no problems, as if there are no rockets being shot at Eretz Yisrael every other day by the Arabs. As if there's no terrorists, as if there's no financial crisis, as if there's no problems. The only problem is the bachurim that are learning in yeshiva. That's the only problem we have.

1:19:55And what defense do we have here in America? We can't even hold our own here in America or in Europe. The yeshivot over here are under attack by the governments. Why? We're not defending it. We're not defending it. If we were defending it, HaKadosh Baruch Hu wouldn't bring the decrees that we have. All types of crazy things are being done in yeshivot today. Every other day is a new story of some poor kid that was taken advantage of by some man or some other guy. I spoke to a crazy Rosh Yeshiva a few months ago about the kids in the school. I told him, you know, some of the things that you're saying are not exactly appropriate. It's confusing the kids. He goes, no, most of the kids, they come from, you know, they have a bad past or they are damaged... I said, no, I know these kids, nothing is damaged. He goes, no, but most yeshiva kids, they're damaged. I said, why are they damaged? He goes, ah, you know, because most of these kids, there's probably no kid that hasn't been raped. I looked at the phone for a few hours. I said, excuse me? What do you mean there's no kid that hasn't been raped? He goes, yeah, because most of these kids, there's something wrong with them, so it's probably because of that. I said, if what you're saying is true, we should close all the yeshivot.

1:21:29Who says such a thing? Rosh Yeshiva in New York. B'ezrat Hashem, it's not a big Yeshiva; it's got 30, 40 kids. B'ezrat Hashem, it will be zero soon, but the whole reality is that it's become acceptable. Like, oh yeah, another kid is molested, big deal. We've become like the Chinese. No value for human life. After the story last week, my wife tells me, "Listen, either you open a yeshiva, or the kids are never going to school. Either you open a yeshiva, or they're never going to school. Not here, not elsewhere, nowhere. Can't trust anyone. What kind of people are we? This is what we have? We've become like the Christians, the Catholics? Epidemic filth?" Every yeshiva should make this a big deal. First and foremost, instead of expanding the buildings and having another fundraiser for another building and another this and another that, take $100,000, put a camera in every single room in the yeshiva.

1:22:45then pay an employee to watch those cameras all year. Then, on top of it, go to the printer and print big posters, and put them on every wall all over the school for the kids to read. If anyone touches you, look at the camera, look at the watch, tell us where it was, and we'll catch the guy. It won't continue for three years. At least give the kids a chance to fight. Stuff is going on for years. What's wrong with us? This is Judaism? Now, if the frum world doesn't care enough about itself, then you're going to say, okay, let's rely on the Baal Teshuva world, right? Unfortunately, the Baal Teshuva world has its own problems too. What's the problem? The problem is, we start off hot, learn about Gog and Magog, learn about Moshiach, learn about, I don't know, the end of days, get hot, okay, I'm going to keep Shabbat. And then stop learning. All he knows is Gog and Magog, Moshiach, and Shabbat, a little bit about that. That's it, nothing else. He doesn't know what mitzvah we have tomorrow. Tomorrow is a holiday, he doesn't know what mitzvah we have.

1:24:09We have to fast tomorrow, Rabbi. How long have you been religious for? Five years. You still don't know if you have to fast tomorrow? Are you pregnant? Are you nursing? If you're pregnant or you're nursing, buddy, then you don't have to fast. Usually guys don't nurse if they are pregnant. They just look like they are. You don't know you have to fast? Five years you've been religious? We don't learn. They don't learn. I don't have time, Rabbi. What do you have time for? Shabbat, I can't wait for Shabbat. What do you do on Shabbat? I sleep all day. I sleep all day on Shabbat. A cow sleeps all day also on Shabbat. It's not going to Gan Eden. If you're not going to learn, you're going to be an embarrassment to yourself. You cannot be a Baal Teshuva if you're not going to learn Torah, rabotai. If you don't know the halachot of Shabbat, you don't know how to keep Shabbat. If you don't know the halachot of Purim, you don't know how to keep Purim. What, you think the costume is the mitzvah? "Yeah, Rabbi, I have a new costume. I'm going to be a doctor." Yeah? What about it? How much money did you spend on the costume? A hundred bucks. How much money did you give for the matanot la'evyonim, the gifts for the poor? Twenty dollars.

1:25:39Oh, so the actual mitzvah of Purim, of giving gifts to the poor, you spent $20. But the rabbinical minhag of wearing a costume, $100. You're a tzaddik, you. Tzaddik. "No, I don't have that much money. I spent it on the costume." Well, return the costume then. Why? You need to feed poor people. We're not Chinese. We're Jews. We have to care about people. It's funny, but it's sad. If you have a Jew that doesn't know the mitzvot of Purim, he's going to spend more money on the holiday, on the costume, on his own meal. But his neighbor that doesn't have rent to pay, he cares less about him.

1:26:40He cares less about him. He thinks he's fulfilling the mitzvah of giving matanot le'evyonim because when he comes out of shul, there's some homeless guy asking for money because he knows it's the one day of the year that people give money. So he gives him a dollar bill and thinks it's a mitzvah. He makes a hundred thousand a year, but he thinks it's a mitzvah to give the guy a dollar. You cannot be cheap when it comes to poor people. cannot be cheap when it comes to Torah. You're not allowed to be cheap. Why? Who gave you the whole hundred percent? Just for you to give? The whole hundred percent is for these mitzvot. The whole thing. Briefly, you have a simple mitzvah to perform. Tomorrow morning, you have to fast if you're healthy. You have to fast. If you're pregnant, or you're nursing, or you just had an abortion, or you are sick of some kind, then this is an easy fast. You don't have to fast. But don't pretend like you're sick. Don't tell me, Rabbi, I'm sick. I'm not going to fast. I don't care. I'm not God. I don't care if you fast or not.

1:27:55You have to be honest with yourself. If you're healthy, you have to fast tomorrow. It starts in the morning and ends a little bit after the Megillah starts, which pretty much means it ends, for most normal people, after the Megillah is over, because you can't eat while you're listening to the Megillah. You're not a child. Don't bring food with you while you're hearing the Megillah. No one wants to listen to you chew. Don't bring Bissli and Bamba to the Megillah. It's not that bad. It's not that long. All of us need a diet anyway. People are bringing food to the Megillah reading. They haven't eaten in three weeks. See the guy with the Bissli and Bamba? Ah, no, come on. No, okay, wait, wait until the Megillah is over, then eat your Bissli and Bamba. It's another half hour. Big deal. And please, please, don't bring your kids. Don't bring your kids to make noise in the Beit Midrash, in the Beit Knesset with their Bissli and Bamba. Why? Because if you go and hear the Megillah and you miss one word, you have to start the whole thing over.

1:29:07if you go to hear the Megillah and there's a talker, you can't continue; you have to stop until he finishes talking and then continue. Why? Because if anybody misses one word, that's it; he didn't fulfill the mitzvah. It's not like the Torah where people listen while others talk as if it's not a big deal. It's a big deal anyway, but needless to say, with the Megillah, if you miss one word, you didn't hear it, you didn't fulfill the mitzvah. He's wasting your time, so do everyone a favor and don't bring your own noise to the place. bring your own noise. If it's you or if it's your kids, don't bring it. Stay home. Now, women and men have to listen to the Megillah. If you're married and you have kids, you have to take turns. Both men and women have to fast. Both men and women have to hear the Megillah. Both men and women have to fulfill the mitzvah of which is about a third of an ounce of silver, which ends up being about $6. Then on top of it, you have to do matanot l'evyonim, which is food for the poor, or in essence, this is usually given in money. And then you have to do the third mitzvah, which is mishloach manot; you have to give to two people, and your wife has to give to two people.

1:30:31You give to two guys; she gives to two girls. Don't give it to girls if you're a guy. This is not a time to hook up. This is not a time to become friends with girls. Guys give to guys; girls give to girls. What do you give them? You give them something that could be the equivalent of a meal. So it has to be mezonot or bread and a drink. You want to put some candy in it too, you want to put some games in there too, but make sure there's mezonot and there's a drink in there so it could be a meal. But because of everything that's happening in the world and no one trusts anyone, rightly so, don't give anyone open stuff. Don't make anyone a sandwich. Buy something from the store that's kosher and still in its wrappings and give it to them. Meaning, you can make it a nice bag, you can put some toys in there also, and some candy, and maybe some money if you want, whatever you want. But the food has to be a closed can, or closed, what is it called, a carton of something, a bottle. And the food should be in something of a bag, closed. Don't give them anything open because they're not going to eat it. Then it's not really, you didn't fulfill the mitzvah. Guys to two people, girls to two people. Also, it's money. Now, for anyone who doesn’t know any poor people,

1:31:52You could just donate to our campaigns. We have, Baruch Hashem, plenty of poor people that we know in Eretz Yisrael, who also have Yirat Shamayim, and we donate to them every year. We donate to them even during other times of the year, but we take this opportunity to raise some money to donate to some good people in Eretz Yisrael whom we know are not only in need but also close to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. It's very, very good to have people like that pray for you. So you can fulfill both mitzvot of Machatzit HaShekel. the mitzvah from the campaign now, as far as, like I said, it's seven dollars or six dollars plus whatever the—I think there's like some fee—I think it's like seven dollars per person. So if you have five people in your house, it's 35 dollars. If you're pregnant, then it's you and the baby. Even though the baby is not walking around yet, it's still considered two people. If you know you have triplets in there, it's four people. um, if there's nobody, then nobody—it's just you. But, uh, this is per person. If it's the mitzvah of feeding the poor, you should be generous, meaning as much as possible. It could be as little as a perutah, it could be a dollar. But if you want Hashem to give you a dollar also, then you give a dollar. If you want Hashem to be generous with you, you have to be generous with people in need.

1:33:16that's generally how it works. If you're not generous with the people that are in need, who's going to be generous with you? Now, it's important for you to give to people that, first and foremost, if you have somebody in your house—a brother, a sister, a father, a mother—that are in desperate need, you have to feed your own family first. But if, Baruch Hashem, you don't know anybody that is in need, then the next step is to go help people that are religious. Call us to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. If you don't know that he's there, then you feed people, just anybody that comes for your help. Anyone that comes to you, you should give them. Even if you already gave two presents, you already gave money, and somebody comes to you in a big nes, you should give them money anyway. This is a time that you should be very generous. Anyone that gives a hand to you, you should give them something. Why? Because that's what you're supposed to do. That's Am Yisrael. If you don't have to give, you don't have to give. Who knows if you have, you don't have. But the point, Rabotai, is that these basic level mitzvot is the real Purim. It's not the costumes.

1:34:19It's not the costumes. The costumes, the minhag, it's cute, you want to have a good time, no problem. Now, the last thing I'm going to say in regards to the drinking: When it comes to drinking, you're allowed to drink on Purim, but not to the point where you're falling over yourself and you become some big chilul Hashem. Like, you're allowed to have a couple of drinks, no problem, have a good time, but it's not supposed to be to the point where you're slurring your words and you have no idea who's right, who's left. More importantly, do not go to synagogue if you're drunk. You're not allowed to go to synagogue if you're drunk. You're not allowed to go to synagogue even if you're buzzed. So if you're going to drink and you're going to get a little tipsy, go to sleep. That's not tomorrow. It's the following day. It's Tuesday. Go to sleep, wake up in the afternoon, and then go to Mincha at that time. Don't go to Beit Knesset drunk. Don't go to Beit Knesset with a drink in your hand. It's not a bar. Some people go to the Beit Knesset and they think it's a bar. Why? Because there are some Beit Knesset that are really bars. They have all these drinks. On Shabbat, the guys, instead of opening the Torah, they open the bar and take all the Arak out. In the middle of the Ba'al Korei reading from the Torah. This is not a good place to go to. Go to a serious place. If you can't find a serious place, then I don't know what to tell you. You have to find one. But the point is, Rabotai, that’s the whole, that’s Purim. Now,

1:35:43have a meal during the afternoon. It's a big mitzvah to have a meal during the afternoon on Tuesday. It should be with meat and wine on Tuesday. Because meat and wine, the Gemara says, is a way that the person really truly has joy. If you cannot afford meat, then get chicken. Obviously kosher. If you can't afford chicken, you can't afford meat, then... Whatever you can afford. I don't think anyone, Baruch Hashem, is struggling to that extent. But if anybody is, please let us know. We'll try to help as well. But the point is that it's a time to have a nice meal with your family. And lastly, don't fight. Don't fight. Don't argue. This is not the time for you to express your opinion that everyone doesn't like. You know, it's a time to enjoy. It's a time to have a good time with the family, with the kids, with the wife, with the husband. Time to have a good time. That's what it all is. Not a time to get into fights. So if you know that every time you get together with a certain family member, you're fighting, don't go.

1:36:52There's no obligation to go anywhere. The obligation is to do the mitzvah of actually having the meal, giving the presents, being with the family, and fostering peace. If you know you're going to go to your brother's house, and every time you go to your brother's house, or your mother's house, or your sister's house, or your friend's house, you get into a fight, don't go. Don't go. There's no point in going if you're going to get into a fight. Some people go, no, no, but it's my mom. Yeah, but every time you go, you get into a fight with somebody. Yeah, but it's my mom. Okay, it could be whoever. It could be Mashiach. You're going to get into a fight with them. Don't go. Why? There's no mitzvah to get into a fight. A lot of times, people make these rules for themselves and force themselves to go to places. Now, sometimes it's because we are weak ourselves. Sometimes we judge people too harshly. And that's one of the other flaws that we have in the Baal Teshuvah world and also in the Frum world together. We both share this weakness. We judge people too harshly. You know, we judge ourselves too leniently and we judge other people too harshly. You know, they make a sin, karet, Amalek, you know, he's the worst person on earth, everything. We violate Shabbat. No, I forgot. What forgot? You just lit the candles.

1:37:56How come you forgot, and he's doing it on purpose? So you have to be a little bit more reasonable with people. Don't judge people so harshly, even if they make a mistake. Especially during times like this, a lot of people get together, their friends come over, families come over. People make mistakes, people say stupid things, people say funny things that are not really so funny—all types of things. Don't judge them so harshly. Maybe they have a drink in them. Maybe they just thought you got the joke. Don't judge them so harshly. Don't rip their heads off. Wait for the next day. Maybe they'll be kosher then. But the reality is, rabotai, don't fight. Don't fight. It defeats the whole point. Because that's what HaKadosh Baruch Hu wants us to learn. He wants us to learn Mussar from all of the other people that are making mistakes, that are parts of the nation that He's given them coronavirus. They're fighting with each other. They're promiscuous with each other. They're eating everything that moves and everything that doesn't move. They're going against Hashem by worshipping idols. They're going against Hashem by worshipping money. They're doing all the things that we as a nation are forbidden to do. And if we want truly a cure,

1:38:58The cure starts with the person you see in the mirror. That's where the cure starts. If you do teshuva, you work on yourself, I promise you, Torah promises you, not me. Torah promises you nothing can hurt you. Not corona, not its brother. But if we're going to lie to ourselves, we're already sick. We're sicker than corona. A person that lies to themselves is sicker than corona. They're living a lie. But if you're serious about Torah, you're going to start learning, you're going to start doing, and Be'ezrat Hashem make this Purim a real holiday that brought us miracles over 2,000 years ago, and it's going to bring us miracles right now that the whole world can enjoy. Baruch Adonai Le'olam, Amen Ve'amen. Side note: No shiur on Tuesday. I'm going to be with my family and Wednesday is debatable. We're not really sure yet, but just pay attention to our website, Facebook, WhatsApp, and all the groups that we're in to see if we're going to have a shiur on Wednesday. But definitely no shiur on Tuesday. Enjoy the holiday, guys, and Be'ezrat Hashem, we will have a shiur on anyone that wants to make a lot. Come with me to the car, and also the cards. I'll give you all the Megillah.
