ENEMIES of HaShem, Kosher Meat, MINYAN, SPORTS Fans, MYSTICAL CREATURES - STUMP THE RABBI (48)

0:17We're back to Wednesday night, Stump the Rabbi. We have some good news to publicize. Hopefully, you guys have some questions too. I have some chiddushim. What's to do? Tonight the shiur will be for Ilui Nishmat Bashya Bat Chana, and also for a refuah shlema for Yitro Ben Avraham, Levana Bat Sara, Rav Ephraim Ben Shulamit, Rabbanit Sara Bat Anat, David Benesria, Doris Bat Jorah, Chaim Sholem Dovber Ben Dvor Harut, Esther Bat Tzipora, Serach Bat Batya, Batya Bat Sara, and Elisheva Chaya Bat Sara. HaKadosh Baruch Hu yevarech otam ve'kol Am Yisrael.

1:33So, a few things, just some updates. Baruch Hashem, we got another order of the cards that I keep telling you about. These things, I think, have been a very big hit so far. We made a few small revisions on the cards, these movie cards, where there's actually a designated website just for the movie. It's HashemTookBackHisMillions.com or .org. Both of them work, Baruch Hashem. One of the tzaddikim from England made the website. So the movie is just... A place, the website is just for the movie. So we use that so a person, whether they know what to do with the QR code or they don't, they'll still go to the website and they'll, b'ezrat Hashem, watch the movie. And this movie is the number one tool that we have to help people get closer to HaKadosh Baruch Hu simply because

2:46When you hear a speaker, within a matter of a few minutes, sometimes less, sometimes more, but within a matter of a few minutes, you decide what your opinion is about this person, whether you like him, whether you'll continue to listen to him, whether you find him boring, whether you find him this or that. And it's very, very important that people watch the movie as the first introduction to our shiurim because before a person is going to decide whether they're going to listen to the guidance that we're going to give them or not, they have to decide whether they can connect to us in the first place. So the movie gives them a couple of main things. Number one, it gives them an understanding that they're not alone with their problems, whatever their problem may be. whether it's a money issue, or it's a health problem, or it's intermarriage, or it's all types of desires. money, success, things of that nature. Baruch Hashem, the story covers quite a few grounds, and everyone connects to the movie. Anyone that's watched the movie completely, Baruch Hashem, has given us fantastic feedback. Many people have actually done teshuva through it, probably more than anything else, aside from the Gemara blitz shiurim that we've done over the years.

4:06But this is a tool where a person is going to get a very clear understanding that he's not alone, she's not alone with their circumstance. But the second thing they're going to get is they're going to decide whether we are the vessel. that they can use to get to the emet. You know, they'll determine an opinion about us. Most of the time, Baruch Hashem, it's good. Sometimes they care less for it. So either way, before you invest any time into guiding people personally, into sending them shiurim and so on, you have to decide, am I the vessel? So the movie is the best way to do that. So lots of people ask me all the time, "Oh, can you talk to this one? Can you talk to that one? My friend, my brother, my mother, my father, my this one, my that one." And the strategy constantly is, okay, first, before I talk to anybody, let them watch the movie. Once they watch the movie, it's going to tell me a few things. Number one, if they've identified their issue within the movie. Most of the time, they do. The second thing is whether I'm the vessel, whether they connect to it and they are going to take the guidance that we'll give them. And three, which is probably more important than the first two, whether they're actually looking for a solution to their problem.

5:21And how do I know if they're looking for a solution to their problem? If they're willing to sit there for an hour and a half to learn, then they're looking for a solution to their problem. But if they're not even willing to sit there and watch a movie that's so entertaining yet educational at the same time for an hour and a half, that means they're not looking for a solution. They're looking for an excuse. And if they're not looking to invest in themselves, then there's no reason for us to invest in them. So the best thing for a person to do is to make sure that as many people as possible watch this movie. Baruch Hashem, on Facebook, we've had over three-quarters of a million hits on this movie. On YouTube, another few hundred thousand; I think we may have been around a quarter million. So Baruch Hashem, the movie has reached quite a few people, but this is only a small fraction of what we need to do. So as happy as we are about what HaKadosh Baruch Hu has blessed us with already, The ambition for Kedusha, the ambition to help Am Yisrael, the ambition to get HaKadosh Baruch Hu's children closer to Him can never be satiated. So you have to constantly shoot for more. So this movie card has been a pretty good success. It's cost-effective; they're only 10 cents, and you can put them everywhere. You can convince your local Jewish supermarket to put it in every bag.

6:40You could put a few of them in different Judaica stores, and so on and so forth. You could also do what some of the tzadikim are doing, which is simply putting it either in people's hands directly, or they're putting it in their mailboxes. They're putting it in their house next to the handle of their door. Once a person sees this, it piques their interest, and b'ezrat Hashem, they watch the movie. And this, for anyone who wants to order, they go to the website, and they could order a few hundred, 500 or more, for themselves, for others, and so on. We're not taking any orders less than 500, simply because, number one, it's only $50. Number two, it just takes too much time. We're not Amazon. It takes too much time to create a package and put everything together for 25 of them. So if you want to give out 500 or more, order it on the website. I think it's cheap enough where everyone can afford it. If you still can't afford even that, then just contact us and let us know. We'll send it to you anyway. But that's one. Number two, after almost two years of working on this project, b'ezrat Hashem,

7:54and then waiting for the order, and then delays, and then problems, and then nishtabach Shemo, and then all the good things that have been happening over the last couple of years. Baruch Hashem, the order of a couple hundred thousand CDs and DVDs of the Tikkun HaBrit are here. It's a double CD/DVD. One is a CD. that, similar to other stuff, it's always been two CDs at a time. One is an audio CD for about 60 shiurim that we've done, both long and short, about Tikkun HaBrit, Gam HaBrit, wasting seed, whatever you want to call it. This, Baruch Hashem, this topic has not been covered in the English language more than what we've done, Baruch Hashem, so this is a big zechut from Shamayim. that HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave us to discuss this issue with so many hundreds and hundreds of people on a weekly basis over the years, and have helped more people do teshuva, learn Torah, and even in some cases turn into talmidei chachamim in a relatively short period of time after they fixed this issue. So these 60 or so shiurim are on one side. If you listen to the CD,

9:12there's simply no way that you're going to be as inclined to make this sin as you are without listening to it. Now, it's not a magic pill where if you listen to it, you're guaranteed to never sin again. But the point is that once a person has learned enough about this sin, They're supposed to, at the very least, get to a point of being scared. And most importantly, if they continue to learn these things on a regular basis, they eventually arrive at the conclusion that the sin itself is disgusting. The one, two, three, four, or five seconds of joy are not worth the disgust and the consequences that will happen beyond the disgust for committing this crime. Now, the other side of this double CD-DVD is the movies. And it's not only this movie of the personal story, but about eight other short movies that we've made over the years that the team has made about Shabbat and all different types of things, motivational movies.

10:19That both of them have been very successful. So a person that has this, you know, even if he's embarrassed to pick up the CD because he doesn't want to let people know, because, you know, people have things in their imagination. They think that everyone's paying attention to what they pick up and what they don't. In reality, no one cares. But anyway, the beauty is that we made it this way, b'siyata d'Shmaya, and that you don't have to pick it up because of the Tikkun HaBrit, even though that's what you really need. You pick it up because you want to watch the movie, because both of them are on the same CD and they're both in the package. So this is one of the most important things that I think has hit the English world, for sure the most important thing that we've done, simply because this does not exist. Now, if we came out with a Tikkun HaBrit CD or movie or whatever it is in Hebrew, let's say it's important, but not as important. Why not as important? Because it exists. In Hebrew, there are several Chachamim already that over the years have talked about this subject extensively, have made movies about it, have given lectures about it, and so on and so forth. So, Baruch Hashem, anyone looking to become Kadosh can find this.

11:39But in English, it's simply unheard of. There are literally less than a handful of rabbis who have talked about it at all. Rabbi Yaron Reuven, Rabbi Mizrachi, Rabbi Zitron, and probably a couple of others that I can't remember. and also actually a new friend of mine that I met recently, he actually did a shiur about it himself, the Accidental Talmudist. He actually has about a half-hour, 40-minute shiur about this because it was part of the Gemara Masechet Shabbat, and he's learning the Shas, and he's making shiurim about it. So he made a shiur about it recently. So the point is that out of hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of English-speaking teachers in the Jewish religion, when you literally have half a dozen people talking about the subject altogether, you already see the tragedy. Especially when the Shulchan Aruch calls this sin the worst sin in the entire Torah. If it was just another sin, okay, then maybe people don't like it, it's this, it's not politically correct, it's not PG.

13:01But here you have, as the Shulchan Aruch calls it, the worst sin in the world, and almost no one's talking about it, relatively speaking. But then, when you find out even worse, that out of the handful of speakers that have spoken about it, 95% of the shiurim are what we've done over the last couple of years. So, if there are, let's say, 75 or 80 shiurim in the world, we did 70 of them, 65 of them. That's the situation that we stand in, rabotai. And although we appreciate the merit, we also understand the danger that we're in, because the Shulchan Aruch says that a person like this is making the worst sin in the world. The Gemara says that a person like this is bringing the flood. The Zohar HaKadosh says that if a person wants to do teshuva for P'gam HaBrit, Hashem is not going to help him. He has to do it on his own. And the Reishit Chochmah, Masechet Gehinom, says that a person that wastes seed and does not do teshuva, ein lo chelek le'olam haba. The Gemara says the same thing, and everywhere else says the same thing. It's not just Reishit Chochmah. A person that wastes seed and does not do teshuva has no share in the World to Come. They go to Gehinom and they stay there. This is a very, very serious problem. Now, interestingly enough,

14:24You know, we had a lot of Yetzer Hara interference to make this CD, put it together, even though the lectures themselves existed. But, Baruch Hashem, you know, when we finally got everything done with all the mistakes and all the issues and so on, you had coronavirus. Coronavirus happened. So now the factories are shut down and everything is shut down and na, na, na. Now, what's the interesting thing, what's the chiddush? If you notice, about two months ago, a little less than two months ago, China pretty much announced that coronavirus is no longer a problem. They're going back to normal. And China right now, more or less, is back to normal. The factories are back on. Everything is back on. You know, if you want to order something from China, you'll get it, like nothing happened, because there's no corona. Even if they may or may not be lying about the numbers and the sick people, the bottom line is the economy back there is back to practically full force. The day they announced this, the factory sent us, the same day, they sent us the CD. It went on the ship. When they released the cure, HaKadosh Baruch Hu released the disease. Now, someone could say it's a coincidence. We don't believe in coincidences.

15:46What we do believe in is that there's a cure in these teachings, a cure that's very much needed. Now, if the couple of hundred thousand CDs stay in my warehouse, no one's going to do teshuva. Why? People don't do teshuva when CDs are in the warehouse. If I wait for all of the generous people to order them and pay for it, no one's going to do teshuva. Why? We don't have that bracha on people ordering CDs. Out of the half a million plus CDs that we've given out over the last few years, I think maybe we sold about a thousand or two. The rest of them are given for free. Why are they given for free? Because the people that want the CDs either don't have money or don't want to pay. And the people that want to pay don't have the time to give out the CDs. Or don't have the ability. So what do we do? Mix and match. We try to find sponsors for people to get the CDs. But that's when you're dealing with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,000 at a clip. Right now, we have a couple of hundred thousand. If we do it with, you know, each guy tells me, "Oh, listen, I want 200, I want 300, I want 500." Mashiach will come 10 times and we're not going to finish with this. And the reality is we need to order another few million of these CDs.

17:12So what we're going to try to do is we're going to try to create a plan that will work to distribute all of these in a short period of time, maybe even in one day. but that would mean most likely we'll have to focus on one, maybe two areas, and just distribute it in one particular Jewish community, Jewish city, and so on. If somebody wants a special order for themselves, then obviously you have to order. It's online. I think it's on the website already. You could order it. That's not a problem. But as far as the large quantities, the thousands, and so on, that we need to distribute as soon as possible, we're just trying to figure out what's the fastest way to do it. because the CD sitting in the warehouse is not going to do anyone any good, and we have to do our hishtadlut and our mesirut nefesh in order to try to bring more blessing to Am Yisrael as soon as possible. So when Shulchan Aruch says that something is the worst sin in the world, and you have an entire two, maybe even three generations of Jews that do not even know it's a sin b'chlal, some even think it's a mitzvah,

18:22you have yourself a very serious problem. You have to do whatever you can to fix it. When you have the cure and you're a human being, you're not going to say, "Listen, can you pay for this? Oh, you can't pay for it? Okay, go die. Go die. Maybe your friend has some money. I'll wait for him." You can't do that. You have the cure; you have to send it out. So, b'ezrat Hashem, we're going to be sending them out. as soon as we get some things together. But anyone that wants to order specific smaller quantities, you can go to the website and order them. Our plan is to try to give these out as soon as possible. So anyway, now we have a situation where we have a generation of people that do not know about this crime that HaKadosh Baruch Hu calls Pgam HaBrit. Many people do not think it's a sin. Some people think it's a sin, but not such a big deal. You know, like a guy takes money out of the company's petty cash account.

19:42You know, some companies, I don't know if they still do it anymore today, but he uses the company's petty cash. Sometimes there's a little box in the office. If you need something to buy for the office or something like that, you use the money from this cash and you give it back or you tell people that you have it. But he decided to go take this money, the couple thousand dollars in his box, go shopping. But, you know, he felt bad. He didn't want to take the whole 2,000. So, you know, he took 500. Then he came back and he put a hundred back and then he took 300 more, and you know, he started using his own personal bank account. So the guy thought it's not so bad. Now, if he's a decent employee, a high-level employee, and they said, "Listen, you're stupid, but we're not going to fire you for this because you make us a lot more money than what you took from us, a couple thousand dollars." That's what people think sometimes when it comes to emunah belief. They think it's like taking money from the petty cash. What is it really like? It's like going into the company, breaking into the system, taking all of the company's customers, copying them, taking all of the company's cash, transferring it to your personal account, and then using some of that money to hire some assassins and kill everybody, all the witnesses, so no one can come to you complaining. That's gneivat da'at, in so many words.

21:09Difference between petty cash and what we just said, shemayim v'aretz. So how come we have so many people, at least two, maybe three generations of people, that are completely clueless to this sin? Many times it's because they do not learn this in yeshivot... They do not learn this in the English-speaking books. There are very few English language books written about this, and even if there are, they're not exactly on the most popular list. You're not going to see them as number one recommended on any of the publishing houses, whether it be Feldheim or ArtScroll or any of these companies. They're all wonderful companies, but you're not gonna find these few books. that are written in English about this topic. Maybe you're gonna get something from Breslov if the Hasid knows you and he knows you're a young guy and he gives you one of these things because he knows Tikkun HaBrit is a big deal, and you don't know it's a big deal, so he gives it to you. Or you go to some other website and then something looks kind of, oh, there's fire on it, I want to get some fire. You don't really know what this book is about. It's at the end of the website, the 37th page of the search. Let me buy this one. I'm already buying 10 books I'm not gonna read anyway. Let's add this one. So that's where the book, it's hiding somewhere. Why? The Satan works very, very hard

22:33to put the wool over your eyes, to keep it away from everyone. This, in essence, is at least one of the reasons why we have to push so hard to keep speaking about it. Unfortunately, another reason is that the Satan also has employees, and those employees are called Erev Rav. Now, the Erev Rav Don't mistake and think that the Erev Rav are only Zionists. Heretics that, you know, don't believe in God. Some of them believe in Christianity. Some of them don't believe in God at all. But nonetheless, all of them are against Judaism. That's not only Erev Rav. There is Erev Rav, but there are others. Last night, after the shiur we did in Aventura, I went home and we did another shiur. Hebrew because we had a crowd in Eretz Yisrael that's been asking for a shiur, so we did another shiur last night. We talked about this topic of some of the original Zionists and what they wrote and said with their own words. Where Herzl's plan to solve the "Jewish problem," as they called it, which is in essence allowing the Jews or not allowing them to exist, his answer is

23:57was answered in his communication with the Pope and the Pope's employees. What was the answer? Convert all Jews to Catholicism. That was Herzl. That was his plan. Ben-Gurion, when he was asked, you know, if you can save all of the Jews, but they were all going to go to England, save them from the Holocaust, but they're all going to go to England, or half the Jews are going to go to Eretz Yisrael. What do you prefer? Ben-Gurion says, surely I would pick the half a million that will go to Eretz Yisrael. Meaning, if they're not coming to Eretz Yisrael, let them die. Let three million die, let them kiss. Human life? Doesn't make a difference. What makes a difference? We succeed. So we get a name. Make ourselves a name. Like Dor HaPalaga, the Tower of Babel generation, right after Noach. They wanted to make a tower to make themselves a name. That's what the Zionists are. Another one of the heretics over there in Zionism said anyone that thinks that Zionism and Judaism are the same is simply either a fool or they're lying to themselves. What Zionism is, is something that destroys Judaism. That's what it is. We're not trying to start

25:24have a continuation of Judaism or even something similar, but rather something completely new. Where he says that the place where Judaism ends, Zionism begins. These are the Zionists. Now, this is clearly Erev Rav. You read some of these things they wrote themselves, in their own words, what they said on the radio. Now obviously you don't have to be a genius. This is obviously Erev Rav. Now, the Zionists of today are not quite the same. Some are really bad, but most of them are not the same. Most of them are just clueless about even their own heroes. I myself went to college at Binghamton University, and I took a class on Zionism. They gave us a book about Zionism, maybe like 1100 or 1300 pages. Giant book. You had to read the whole thing. Every class would review certain parts of the book and so on, and I promise you that none of what I just said, none of it was mentioned in that book. The way they portray Herzl, Ben-Gurion, and Weizmann, and all of these people, these are heroes. The fact that they were more anti-Semitic than the Nazis, they don't mention that part. It's no surprise, no surprise at all,

26:49that Eichmann, the Nazi who was responsible for killing millions of Jews, wrote in a letter that if he wasn't a Nazi, he would be a Zionist. So when a person looks at this real, honest information, they say, yeah, it's Erev Rav, right? Okay, but what about now? That's not only Erev Rav. Erev Rav has different parts. Rav Wasserman said Erev Rav and Amalek are the same seed. Amalek is the Nazis. Erev Rav is Jews. Erev Rav comes in different forms. And sometimes Erev Rav comes in the form of a religious Jew. Sometimes Erev Rav comes in the form of a secular Jew. Sometimes Erev Rav is a rabbi. Sometimes Erev Rav is a talmid. Erev Rav comes in different ways. Now, the Chafetz Chaim, a"h, everyone knows his work, the Mishnah Berurah, all the halachot, the Sefer Chafetz Chaim on lashon hara. The Chafetz Chaim, everyone knows his work much more after he passed away than while he was alive.

28:11But throughout his life, everyone knew he was a tzaddik. When he was around 90 years old, someone asked him a question. He answered and he said to him, "Look at my teeth." And the young man looked at his teeth. He said, "See, I'm not missing a single tooth. 90 years old, 90 plus years old, not missing a single tooth." He says, "You know why?" Because in my entire life, I never said one thing that's forbidden. Never said Lashon Hara one time. Never Rechilut one time. Never. If we could last a week without it, I think our teeth would grow back. Never in his whole life. But yet, everyone knows these fantastic stories about the Chafetz Chaim. But what most people don't know is that the Chafetz Chaim, every single day, throughout the vast majority of his life, from the time that he got his da'at, that he understood, every single day of his life, for 90-plus years, he cursed a person, a Jew, by the name of Adam Cohen. Every day he would say, "Adam Cohen, yimach shemo. Adam Cohen, yimach shemo v'zichro."

29:38Every day, the Chafetz Chaim never said one thing that was forbidden. Kodesh Kodeshim had talmidim like Rav Elchonon Wasserman, talmidim of Gedolei HaDor. Avigdor Miller, I mean, giants cursing a Jew every day for 90 years. So one time, the talmidim asked him, "Rabbi, Who's this? Why do you curse this Adam Cohen? Miskain? Getting cursed by an Ish Kadosh? Imagine you're a person, you say something, and HaKadosh Baruch Hu makes it happen. So the Chafetz Chaim tells them, "I was an orphan. And I was an orphan. The woman that adopted me..."

30:39nice person, and she would give him some certain freedom. He would learn, he would do this, he would do that, and as a young kid, he was a talented kid. The guy looks like a religious Jew, goes to Beit Knesset, puts on tefillin, looks modest, peyot, beard, everything. He saw that this young kid is very talented. Smart kid, you could talk to him and he understands what you're talking about. So he started spending time with him. Now, L'iluy Nishmat Yisrael Meir, the Chafetz Chaim, you know, he's looking for a father figure. He doesn't have a father. He's looking for a father figure. So he started, you know, spending time with him. And he would tell him, you know, you're learning the Torah, it's good, you know, it's nice, but... Don't make such a big deal out of it. You know, these sages, they're wrong sometimes. What? Sages are wrong sometimes? Yes, you know, the sages, you know, they're old. It was a long time ago. Things changed. Things changed, no? A young kid would listen to these things that

31:59The opposite of what he would learn in the book was the opposite of what he would learn from his Rebbe. But Adam Cohen told him this guy was an older man, a very sophisticated-looking person, well-known. One day, one of the neighbors with Yirat Shamayim noticed that this Adam Cohen keeps coming, keeps coming, keeps coming, and he's spending a lot of time with the little Yisrael Meir. He tells the mother, "No, no, no, don't let him spend any time with this guy. This guy is a Rasha Merusha. Why? No, he's religious. No, he's not a Christian. What are you talking about? No, no, this guy is a Rasha. I know him; I know him personally. He's one of the reformers. He's like Mendelssohn." A person with Yirat Shamayim noticed that this Adam Cohen keeps coming, keeps coming, keeps coming, and he's spending a lot of time with the little Yisrael Meir. He tells the mother, "No, no, no, don't let him spend any time with this guy. This guy is a Rasha Merusha. Why? No, he's religious. No, he's not a Christian. What are you talking about? No, no, this guy is a Rasha. I know him; I know him personally. He's one of the reformers. He's like Mendelssohn." they look religious, they act religious, they go to shul, they do all the things on the exterior, but they have constant kefirah coming out of their mouth. They want a new Torah. Get the kid away from him. Long story short, they had to move away to escape from this person. And when the Chafetz Chaim, as a young boy, finally got to an age where he started understanding

33:17what this adam gadol was telling him, and he realized what he was trying to do to him. From that moment on, for the rest of his life, every single day he would curse him. Every day. Why? Trying to murder my neshama, not murder the body. Murder the body, big deal. You go to Olam Haba, Gan Eden, Moshe Rabbeinu, Avraham Avinu, what's the problem? Murder the neshama, nothing worse than that. So sometimes, rabotai yikarim, the person does not realize that an Erev Rav can come to you in different forms and sizes. It doesn't necessarily always have to come in a way of the obvious. the Christian missionary, the secular atheist, the Zionist anti-Torah type of person. Sometimes it comes to you in the form of something that actually looks quite familiar. Now, before we go into questions, just to understand this specific issue, does anybody know who was more righteous than David HaMelech after David HaMelech?

34:44It was a trick question. Nobody. David HaMelech, Mashiach comes from him. HaKadosh Baruch Hu said David HaMelech, Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, David. To carry the Shechina, Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, David. David was called Kodesh Kodashim. One of the reasons why the heads of the Sanhedrin themselves hated him. Hated him. Became... They became... Lost his because of this. Why? They were jealous of David. Why were they jealous? Anything David says, that's what HaKadosh Baruch Hu is thinking. That's it. That's halacha. What he said, that's halacha. What David decided, what he said, that's halacha. He's always right. Always. Never said one thing from his mouth and it wasn't halacha.

35:45Kodesh Kodeshim, surely he understood Hilchot Lashon Hara. Surely he understood Ahavat Yisrael. But he writes in Tehillim 139, in verse number 21, "Halo mesanecha Hashem esna, uv'tkomemecha etkotat." For indeed, those who hate you, O Hashem, I hate them, and I quarrel with those who rise up against you. With the utmost hatred, I hate them. They have become enemies to me. David HaMelech, Kodesh Kodashim, the Mashiach, Mashiach Yisrael, It says that Hakadosh Baruch Hu, there are certain people who hate you, so, you know, I hate them, but not only do I hate them, they're my enemies. Who's he talking about? Who's he talking about? Saddam Hussein? Talking about Hitler? You don't need a verse in the Torah to do that. We know you hate Hitler. We know you hate Saddam Hussein.

37:11You know, David HaMelech, people that hate you. I not only hate them, but they're my enemies. You know, because hate, you hate somebody sometimes. But after a while, it cools off. You know, he calls you, says, listen, what's up? What's going on? You pretend like nothing happened because it's not worth it anymore. So hate, sometimes after a while, it goes away. You hate her today. Six months later, you miss her. Oh, I love you. I love you. You know, no big deal. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You know, hate goes away. But for David HaMelech, these people who hate Hashem, it's different. The hatred doesn't cool off. They remain his enemies, and he considers it his life's mission to fight them. He quarrels with them and does not leave them alone. It's good. But no, no, David HaMelech says, no, no, now I hate them. They're my enemy. Enemies don't go away. If a person is your enemy, they don't go away. David HaMelech says, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, these people that hate You, I not only hate them, they're my enemy. It's my life's mission to go fight them. To go fight these people. I quarrel with them. I'm not going to leave them alone.

38:12If I know who they are, I'm going to go fight them. Who are these people? David HaMelech is talking about people that are mesitim, people that cause Jewish people to get further from Hashem. People that work for the Satan. People that we also call the erev rav. That's who he's talking about. Because Rabotai Yekarim, David HaMelech understood fully well that someone who sins by himself, sins with a female, she sins with a male, violates Shabbat—whatever you're doing on your own time, it's not good. Not good at all. You're going to get yourself into Gehinnom. But it doesn't make you an enemy right away by default.

39:13What makes you an enemy by default? One time you did it, you're an enemy until you fix it. Causing somebody else to do that. Causing somebody else to violate Shabbat. Causing somebody else to go against Hashem. If you notice, the Amidah is well known as Tefillat Shemoneh Esrei, the 18 prayers, 18 blessings. But if you count them, it's 19. It's not 18. It's called Tefillat Shemoneh Esrei, the 18 blessings, 18 prayers, but it really has 19. Why does it have 19? Originally, it had 18. But then there was a bunch of Amalekim, Erev Rav, missionaries. They started off as Jews and eventually became Christians, pretending to be Jews, and tried to convince Am Yisrael to go worship Yoshke.

40:16started convincing people. Why? Because back then it wasn't such a noticeable difference. People wore the same clothes, they looked the same, they said similar things, they spoke the same language. It was very hard to tell the difference between the Jews and the Christians back then because all of the Jews that started Christianity were Jews. They were all Jews; the people were Jews. No, no, no, we have a new leader. No, no, he's just a rabbi later on. No, we think he's God. So, in reality, this created such a big problem that the sages instituted a new addition to the prayer. "VeLamashumadim Al Tehi Tikva" was added to the prayer, a special prayer, and... to ask and plead with Hashem to destroy all of the people who are steering Am Yisrael away from Hashem. Hashem, all of these people who are Minim, who believe in Christianity, call themselves Messianic Jews, or believe in some type of idolatry, or if they cause other people to turn away from You, Hashem,

41:38Also, if they report on the Jews, you know, one Jew has a difficulty with another Jew, instead of going to beit din, he goes to the Memshalah, he goes to the government, calls the cops on him. Very serious problem. Says those people, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, we need Your help to destroy them. Destroy them from the world. And that was instituted as the 19th prayer. Interestingly, this current virus is called COVID-19. Rabbi Mizrachi says, surely it's not a coincidence that 19 and 19, there's a lot of minim in this generation, a lot of malshinim in this generation, a lot of mesitim in this generation. So now a person is thinking, okay, these people are terrible people, they get people away from Hashem, but what is this really? In the end of that blessing, It says that all of the enemies of Hashem may be destroyed, but there is another nusach in some siddurim that Rav Shach used to use. Rav Shach says all of the people that are enemies of Your nation may be destroyed, not enemies of Yours, Hashem.

43:05So even though it was accepted to actually have what the common nusach is, which is "all of the enemies of Hashem should be destroyed," Rav Shach, one of the Gedolei HaDor, would use a different nusach and say, "No, only the enemies of Your nation should be destroyed, not the enemies of Hashem." So they asked the Gadol HaDor, "How come you're using this?" He says, "Because if you understood how easy it is to become an enemy of Hashem, you would also change. You know how easy it is?" Your friend says, "Listen, I'm going to a shiur Torah. You want to come?" Nah, don't go. Come, we're going to have pizza at my house. We're going to watch a game. You're an enemy of Hashem. At that moment, you're an enemy of Hashem. Why? The guy was going to learn Torah, and now you're convincing him to go eat pizza. That makes you an enemy of Hashem. Very scary. Why? Most of us have been enemies of Hashem at some point in our lives. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Why? The guy told you, "Listen, you want to go to this Rabbi, we're going to get a blessing, we're going to maybe get a chizuk or something." Nah, why are you going? Why are you going? For what? You believe in that stuff? You're going to buy that stuff? You really believe in that stuff? Nah, come on, let's go to the beach. Let's go to the beach. Go to a club, meet some girls, boys, this, that, couple of drinks. That's a life. Enemies of Hashem. Enemies of Hashem.

44:32David HaMelech says, "Those people, I fight them. I hate them. I hate those people." The Rabbi makes a shiur and says something that you don't like to hear. Why? Because it's about you. The Rabbi says that someone who violates Shabbat is considered an idol worshiper. The Rabbi says that if you're pogem brit and don't do teshuvah, you go to Gehinnom permanently. Rabbi says that the wig on your wife's head is from Avodah Zarah. What do you do? Write a comment. Ah, we call this guy a stupid idiot. Don't listen to his stuff. He's not even this. He's not even that. He's only about teshuvah. I don't even know if he knows how to read. I don't know if he knows how to write. I don't even know if it's him speaking. Maybe it's a robot. I don't know. Maybe he's really this. Ah. That comment? Enemy of Hashem. Why? What's the point of the comment? The point of the comment is to get other people not to watch. That's the point of the comment. The point of the comment is to insult the rabbi that said something that is in accordance with the Torah. He's not saying something that's against the Torah. He's saying something that's in the Torah. And you're saying to people, no, no, don't listen to this guy. He's a fanatic. He's a fanatic. Enemy of Hashem. David HaMelech

45:59has your name in his Siddur. He says to him, I fight him from Shamayim. I hate him. He's an enemy of Hashem. Why? He tries to get people away from Hashem. And Rav Shach says that's how easy it is to become an enemy of Hashem. In so many words, don't talk. If it's not supporting the Torah, supporting Chachamim, don't speak. At all. Be quiet. Mute. Maybe people don't even know if you're talking. Eventually. If it's not Divrei Chochmah, don't speak. That's how easy it is to become an enemy of Hashem. So now, you have yourself the greats among us. Tell us that you have to be very, very careful of such people, but then you have certain people that call themselves rabbis that tell people, "No, no, come on, wasting seed, the sin, all these punishments, that's not for this generation. What do you think, Hashem is going to kill everyone? Practically everybody wastes seed now, so there's no way that Hashem is going to destroy everyone." That's Amalek. That's Erev Rav. Enemy of Hashem.

47:17Why? When a person says that any one of the mitzvot is no longer relevant to this generation, they have violated the Torah in several ways. First and foremost, they changed the Torah. And one of our 13 principles of faith is that the Torah will never change. There is no "this generation, that generation." The second your rabbi, your speaker, your buddy, or whoever told you that this sin is no longer relevant to this generation, they are an enemy of Hashem. If you believe him, you are an enemy of Hashem too. And so, a person has to use their mind now: "Okay, I don't want to become an enemy of Hashem. So, how do I get...?" My head to understand that this guy that looks like a really good rabbi and he speaks really well. How do I get? I know he's a kofer though, but how do I get? My mind to stay at that focus to know that don't go back. Don't go back. Don't go back. Pay attention to this and there were no questions. If you notice these people that are really undercover enemies of Hashem.

48:40But they tell people things that people like to hear, like "No, everything's okay. Everyone's a tinok shenishba, everyone's a captured baby, they don't know. Everyone has a share in the world to come." These rabbis shouldn't speak against them. "Fear tactics? Don't scare people, that's not good." So who are they rebuking? They're rebuking the rabbis. The few of us that are actually telling people what the Torah says about punishment, what HaKadosh Baruch Hu says about going against them, those few of us they speak against. During the Pittsburgh Massacre, when we told people that to call these apikorsim, who were in a Reform shul, doing a brit milah for a baby of a gay couple, to call them dying al kiddush Hashem, was complete heresy, complete shtuyot. One of these clowns, who calls himself a chassid and an Orthodox rabbi, said that anyone who said that is considered either Amalek or Erev Rav.

49:51Why? These people are Jews. They died because they're Jews. They died al kiddush Hashem. What's interesting about this? Anyone ever thought about this? When it comes to the rabbis that rebuke and tell the emet, He gives them on the head. Why are you rebuking Am Yisrael? Why? So against the rabbis, the ones that are quoting the Torah, the ones that are following the Torah, the ones that their whole life is Torah. Now, one time they say something you don't like, it's not your shita, it's not your way. It's not wrong, it's just not your way. Ah, you guys are bad, you guys are Erev Rav, you guys are Amalek. But the resha'im arurim that have the homosexuality parties, that are violating Shabbat, that are avdei avodah zarah, no, they're tinokot she'nishbu. Give them kaf zechut. Why don't you understand them? They're good people. Well, hold on a second. If you're gonna be critical, why aren't you critical of everyone? How come you're critical of the ones that are righteous and are following the Torah?

51:03But the ones that are wicked, clearly, kaf zechut. Give them the benefit of the doubt. How come? If you're going to give kaf zechut, why don't you give both of them kaf zechut? If you're going to be critical, be critical of both. What does that show? Rabbeinu Yonah says someone who agrees with the Rasha is a bigger Rasha himself. And he takes it from the Radak, who takes it from the Torah itself. If you agree with the Rasha, you compliment the Rasha, you're a bigger Rasha than he is. And what you'll notice is that these Rabbis that call everyone a Tinok Shenishba, everyone is a, you know, captured baby, they don't know right, they don't know left, they always say, no, he's, yeah, but he's a Rasha, he knows he's not allowed to drive on Shabbat. He drives to shul every week. Yeah, but, you know, he grew up different. He grew up in this. He grew up there. He grew up in New York. He grew up in Gehinom. He grew up in Kaf HaKela. You know, he grew up in all these different places. He doesn't know, you know. So give him some benefit of the doubt. Eventually, he's going to do teshuva. What do you mean? He's been driving on Shabbat for 20 years.

52:15Yeah, no, eventually he's 75 years old. What do you mean? When? When? When is the system supposed to work? Nah, give him the benefit of the doubt. He's a Jew. It's a precious neshama. He gives a lot of tzedakah. He's a good guy. Oh, you want to give him kaf zechut? You want to give him the benefit of the doubt? But how come if one of the prophets, one of the nevi'im from the Torah walked into your shul, not only would you throw him out, you'd get him arrested. Why? Because he told you the truth. Every single one of the prophets that's mentioned in the Torah rebuked the people in ways that make us look like little puppies. The stuff that Yirmiyahu told the people, the stuff that Yeshayahu told the people, the stuff that Amos told the people, the stuff that Yechezkel told the people. All of the prophets told Am Yisrael things that were strong and difficult to hear. And these were the best of the best. Now anyone that's quoting them today is not even saying everything they said. It's just a little quote. I just used one of the verses that Yechezkel said. I just used one of the verses that Yirmiyahu says. One of the verses that Moshe Rabbeinu says. Oh, no, I'm not allowed in your shul anymore. I'm not allowed to give lectures in your shul anymore. You don't want anyone to give out my CDs anymore. So I don't get kaf zechut. I have evil intentions.

53:39But the guy that's driving on Shabbat for 25 years and also donating for 25 years, he has kaf zechut. Who's the rasha here? Who's the rasha here? So that's what you see. You see, Rabotai, that sometimes Erev Rav comes in the form of a rabbi. One time, and we'll finish this with this story, I saw this with my own eyes. And I have witnesses to this. I have witnesses to this story. One of them is here. It's not that many people here, so you can figure out who. A group of people wanted to do teshuva. Why do teshuva? Wanted to learn Torah. Started coming to shiurim, arranging shiurim. Baruch Hashem. Started keeping Shabbat. Some of them weren't able to go to shul anymore on Shabbat because it was too far from their house.

54:43So, the Rabbi had a problem with this. "So, how come you're not coming?" "No, I can't drive on Shabbat, Rabbi." "No, come on. Who's telling you this?" "Oh, Rabbi Reuven is telling us this." "I don't know. Maybe he's extreme. He's fanatic." "No, you should meet him. He's a nice guy. You know what? Bring him to my house. We'll do a shiur at my house. Such an open Rabbi. Bring him to my house. We'll do a shiur at my house." They tell me, "Rabbi, we're going to do a shiur at the Rabbi's house. Maybe you could influence them to also teach like you." I said, "Halavai." I was still naive then. I thought I could. So I go to this guy's house, older man, probably 70, 75 years old. We're at the house. We're having a shiur. I bring some CDs to the group. The rabbi says, "Hello, hello, very nice, da-da-da." He sits right next to me. In the beginning of the shiur, he started trying to debate a little bit, but every time he had an issue, I would bring him a source, and he couldn't really defend. We had a shiur, and then after the shiur, he said, "Wow, fantastic shiur, really good. Yeah, you guys are going in the right direction. In front of me, you guys are going in the right direction. He's good, he's this, that, nice. Right? Good, right?"

56:02So, we'll do something together one day. We'll do a shiur, something, right? I don't get any calls, but I see the guys are coming to the shiur. Then one day, one of them comes to me and says, you're never going to believe it, Rabbi. You know those CDs that you brought to the rabbis as a gift to give to people in the kehillah and so on? I said, yeah. He says, nobody got it in the kehillah. I said, why not? He says, because the rabbi is hiding it. I said, what? What do you mean he's hiding it? He says, I walked into his office and I walked in on him hiding the CDs. Hiding the CDs in his office. Doesn't want anyone to see them. Doesn't want anyone to get the CDs. Doesn't want anyone to do teshuva. In front of your face, chazak u'baruch, good shiur, we're going to do something together. As soon as you leave, he's back to Erev Rav. Back to Erev Rav.

57:05This is very much real. This happens a lot. It happens a lot because we're in a generation where page 49b says... The generation before Mashiach will be such an orphaned generation that you will have nothing to rely on other than HaKadosh Baruch Hu. What does it mean to rely on HaKadosh Baruch Hu? Of course, having Emunah, having Bitachon, but what about knowledge? You have to rely on what's written in the Torah itself, what's written in the Gemara, what's written in the Poskim. What are the real Chachamim saying? You can't just take people's word for it anymore. A guy could look like a rabbi, but instead of being a rabbi, he's a rosh beit avodah zarah. He hopefully goes bye-bye. He looks like a rabbi, but he's an Erev Rav. And a person needs to be careful of this. Why? Because David HaMelech himself says these people are so bad, I hate them, they're my enemy. David HaMelech had a lot of enemies, but this is the one he's writing about.

58:18Most dangerous. Why? Because unlike the other enemies that are trying to kill our bodies, these Erev Rav are trying to kill our souls. And sometimes they come to us in the form of people that look perfectly fine, look religious. To such an extent that someone like the Chofetz Chaim would curse them every day. So this, Rabotai, is just a little bit of an understanding of just to keep our eyes open. To make sure that anytime you hear something that disagrees or contradicts one of the things that we say in the shiur, please bring it to me. Say, listen, is this a mistake or not? You said A, he said B. Are there two opinions, or did you make a mistake, or did he make a mistake? What's going on here? Something that's significant. Don't talk about every little, you know, he said A, you said B, you know, A. Say things that are significant. If you hear somebody saying to you that the things that we're talking about say the opposite, you have to find out. You have to double-check in the books. Why? Because I know for sure it's right. I've seen it a million times. If you're hearing something wrong, you're hearing something that's different, it's wrong. There's no doubt in my mind.

59:39But before you start believing the opposite, before you start believing that it's allowed to waste seed, that it's allowed to drive on Shabbat, that it's allowed to eat non-kosher, that it's allowed to do all types of things, double-check. Don't lose your soul. Don't lose your soul so quickly. Don't be one of these fools that just goes with whatever is the easiest opinion. It's very important for a person to know that many times the Yetzer Hara will come to you in a form of something that looks like a mitzvah. Looks kosher. It's not going to come to you with something that looks obviously bad. It's going to come to you with something that looks good, looks kosher. And you have to make sure that you pay attention to the details. Because if you don't pay attention to the details, that's it, you're already in a trap. You made it easy for him. So with that being said, B'chavod, who wants to start with the first question? Yes.

1:00:51Person who cooks for you? A person who cooks for you, you're not allowed to eat it because if he violates Shabbat, you cannot. He obviously does not care about his own soul, which means needless to say, he doesn't care about your own soul. Which means what? It means that he's not reliable to keep all of the rules as far as kashrut. So you care about your soul. So if you're gonna cook something or your wife's gonna cook something, more likely... You're going to make sure that the meat that you buy is kosher, that it's not mixed with cheese, it's not mixed with dairy, it's not mixed with non-kosher, and so on. Him, on the other hand, you can't have that same reliability on. Why? He has no Yirat Shamayim, he has no fear of Hashem. He doesn't even keep Shabbat, the basic minimum of being a Jew. Which means that if he goes to the supermarket, in the supermarket they sell kosher meat and also non-kosher meat. It's one of these big supermarkets. And they're right next to each other. They're right next to each other. And if he sees the kosher steak is $18 a pound, and a non-kosher steak is $1.80, and they look exactly the same—in fact, the non-kosher is much bigger—what does he do? He says, yalla, let's go. They won't know. Why? By the time it's on their plate, you can't tell kosher from non-kosher.

1:02:14So that guy that's not keeping Shabbat, you can't rely on his food. You can't rely on his food. Where is there a leniency there? The leniency, Rabbi Ovadia says, is if it's your mom. Your mom is Jewish, and she is not Shomer Shabbat, unfortunately. But she knows you are. She knows you are, and she's not anti. She's not anti-Torah. She cooks you food; you're allowed to eat it as long as you know that all the ingredients used were kosher, and so on. She doesn't cook non-kosher food ever. She just doesn't keep Shabbat. You could eat her food. Why? Because she loves you even more than herself. But that's, again, only if she cooks only kosher food in general. She just doesn't keep Shabbat. This is more common in Israel than it is in America. But the point is that anyone else, a stranger, who doesn't keep Shabbat, even if he's a Jew, you can't eat his food. You can't eat his food. Now, there is another leniency if it's a situation where it's in a restaurant and there's a Mashgiach there who oversees all of the ingredients. In addition to that, he turns on the fire for everyone. He turns on the fire.

1:03:32And he sees that they're putting the ingredients that he verified are kosher. They're simply putting it in the pan. They're simply taking it out of the pan. That's all they're doing. So he treats them like goyim. Because with a goy, you can use a goy to cook for you if you put on the fire and you put in all the ingredients. You can use a goy. That's not a problem. You have a mashgiach, you have somebody that's overseeing it. Even if you yourself are overseeing it, that's not a problem. But if he by himself, you just show up to his house, you show up to his house or you show up to shul, and you see that the only guy in the kitchen is this Mechalel Shabbat. he's the one that cooked it. He's the one that bought it. He's the one that did everything. Not allowed to eat it. And some won't even eat it from the other leniency that I've mentioned. Many will not eat from the other leniency that I've mentioned. But the point is that if somebody, you don't know who did what, you have no idea where the meat is and so on, it's not allowed. Why? It's a very big deal because... When you eat something that's not kosher, even if you don't know it's not kosher, let's say you have a plate, you have something, and the supermarket made a mistake. The guy that was putting labels on the things started putting kosher on everything, even though it wasn't kosher. He made a mistake. Now you ate it thinking it's kosher. It's not your fault, right? It's not your fault. You didn't do it on purpose.

1:04:55You ate it, you cooked it, everything, put all the good ingredients. But in reality, the meat's non-kosher. Guess what? Your neshama is still going to get affected. Even though it's not on purpose, your neshama is still going to get affected. Why? Non-kosher food affects you and makes you tamei. All of a sudden, it's hard for you to understand stuff. All of a sudden, you forget. All of a sudden, you feel like going to a nightclub at three o'clock in the morning, and you're married with four kids. All of a sudden, you have all types of shtuyot in your head. What happened? Check your food. Check your food. It could also be yetzer hara, but the point is that you have to be careful with food. That's why some people are very, very serious about kashrut. They don't eat kashrut from just anybody. They order from specific people that they know they can rely on. Like I can tell you myself, I'm not going to mention the name. There's one store in my neighborhood, I wouldn't buy bazooka gum from them. They sell meat, and some people told me it's really, really good quality meat as far as deliciousness. Me, personally, I wouldn't buy the bazooka gum from them. Why? They don't keep anything. They don't keep Shabbat, they don't keep anything. So, to go buy from a supermarket where the guy is not keeping anything, why, if I have an option of somebody that keeps Torah and mitzvot?

1:06:20Especially the option sometimes is next door or down the street. He keeps Torah and mitzvot. And this guy is mechalel Shabbat. Why should I buy from him? Why? Because I'm starving? Do I have to eat? Sometimes we order. We order from New York. Why do we order from New York? I trust their kashrut more. Certain companies in New York, I trust their kashrut more than I trust a place in Florida sometimes. There are some places in Florida that are good, no problem. But sometimes we order from New York. Why? Because there are certain places that I prefer their kashrut. Some people are much more strict. What do they do? They don't buy from anybody. Even the guy that has big rabbis supporting him every day, they don't buy from him. What do they do? They get a few people together, they get a shochet, they buy a cow, yalla, let's go, I want to see it. I want to see you slaughter the cow, no? I want to see, no? No? Yalla, chazak u'varuch. Destroyed. Look out again. That's what I do. It's not as common here in America, but it happens. Get a few families together, you get a shochet that's really good at what he does because you could risk potentially losing the whole thing if the guy makes a mistake. You have to sell to the Arabs for half the value. But anyway, some people are very, very strict with it. I think it's a little too much, but the point is that everybody's on their own level.

1:07:44everybody's on their own level. The key is to understand that when it comes to kashrut, everyone who knows something knows it's a big deal. So don't just eat anything that sounds kosher or has a sticker on it. Be a little more conscious of these levels. There are levels of kashrut, and a person needs to be conscious of these things and always, always be Stringent on this because your neshama is on the line. It can affect you, especially if you're learning Torah. So now, on the other hand, some people say don't eat meat at all. There are some tzaddikim that say don't eat meat at all. Why? You can't rely on anybody. You can't rely on anybody. The Ma'ariv, I've asked them this before. For a little while, we stopped eating meat and But then my rav told me, "Eat meat." I said, "Yeah, but this, but that." He said, "Eat meat. Eat it." Why? He says, "Number one, I see you, you're getting weak. And you're not able to learn as much, you're not able to do this, you're physically getting weak. And what you're trying to not make up as a possible mistake,"

1:09:05Creating a lot more harm than good by not eating meat. So, eat meat. The second thing he says is if you don't trust the kosher institutions as a whole, pretty much you don't trust anybody. You simply can't eat anything. You can't eat. It's not just meat. You can't drink coffee. Maybe they have some bugs in it for flavoring. You can't eat candy. There are bugs in there also for flavoring and for food coloring. You can't eat anything, nothing. Milk, milk, you can't get milk. Why? Maybe it's milk from a camel. Why? Did you see the cow being milked? See the cow? Now you see the cow. All you see is a little plastic bottle that has some milk in it, but it has a picture of a cow. So I have a lot of pictures. You get it from Vistaprint, two cents. I mean, you can't just not trust anyone. You have to trust the kosher institution as a whole because, or else, you simply can't live. And you can't say, "No, no, I just don't trust them on the meat part." That's nonsense. You're just being, you know, crazy. Okay, so it's important to be stringent when you can be, but don't go too far to the extent where you're pretty much on strike against everyone in the world. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. You're not going to get very far.

1:10:26So my own rabbi taught me. We did this for a few months, and it didn't work out so well, especially when I got rebuked. But the point is that, again, you have to trust the system to a certain extent. If you can get better quality meat, always get the best. Always get the best quality, even if it's more expensive. If you get halak Bet Yosef, it's going to cost you 10, 15, 20% more, which usually it doesn't, but let's say it does, pay for it. Why? Because it's more expensive. So, it's important for a person to spend his money on mitzvot. Don't try to save money on mitzvot. Oh no, this guy is a butcher. His chicken is only $8. This guy's chicken is like $11, $12. Why should I pay so much money? It's just a chicken. No, no, it's not just a chicken. It's not just a chicken. Sometimes it's because the kashrut over here is, I don't know, some guy that's maybe not even Jewish. And this guy actually had some, he had Shamayim Jews. You guys think this is new? No. Rav Ovadia, alav haShalom, when he went to Egypt, he went to Egypt and became a Rav in Egypt. First job, found out that the shochet over there, the butcher over there, the famous shochet over there, was selling people neveilot u'trefot. He came over there, he saw what he saw, he says, took out, in front of everybody, took out his kashrut.

1:11:53Pretty much out of business. The guy took a gun out, wanted to kill him. He said, you can kill me. You're still not going to get the kashrut back. Years later, after Rav Ovadia already went back to Eretz Yisrael, one day somebody shows up in his house, walks into the house, because people were able to walk to his house and just somehow get in, walks in, has a gun, points at Rav Ovadia again. Who is it? The same guy from Egypt. He said, give my kashrut back. He goes... Go. Go. You're still not getting it. 20 years, Pat. You're still not getting the kashrut back. Why? Once you have verified that you're selling people neveilot v'trefot, that's it. You can't get kashrut. Some people, they may sell kosher food, but it's horrible stuff. Like I had one place I bought food from. Now, once in a while this happens. You deal with meat and stuff like that, it happens. But when it becomes a pattern where four, five, six times out of eight or out of seven times, you see that the top part of the meat looks great, but the bottom part has mold. That means that guy, he's not a kosher person. Forget the chicken. The chicken may be kosher, but it's not good though; you can't eat it if it has mold. But he's not kosher; he's selling you old meat.

1:13:09It's the nice meat on top and the bottom meat that already went bad. He still wants to sell it and get full price. He's not kosher. If he's not kosher, you can't buy anything from him. You can't buy Bazooka gum from him. And it happens several times. A few times, they sell you a piece of meat. You know, it happens one time. Okay, no big deal. Happens five, six times already. No, there's something wrong. Say something's wrong. Every time there's mold. Where are you? In a cave? Were you keeping this thing in the sand instead of a fridge? Why is there mold? So many times, yeah, it's because it's part of the system. By the way, this happens a lot more. Don't think it's just the Jewish people; this happens on a regular basis in the non-Jewish world. In practically every supermarket, there are complaints of different things that they find in their meat over there because people that are in the meat industry themselves disclose this. And I saw this with my own eyes and They say that in the non-kosher world, even if they see that there's cancer in the meat, they sell it. Cancer. There are cancer cells in the meat. There are tumors in the meat, and they sell it anyway. They cut out the tumor, obviously. They're not going to keep the tumor. They cut out the tumor, but they sell the rest of the meat. They don't want to lose $5, $10, $20, sometimes more. They sell it.

1:14:30In fact, after the meat goes bad, what do they do? They put certain enzymes on top of the meat that change its color. Looks brand new. The meat goes back to looking brand new. Looks fresh. Looks like they literally just slaughtered the cow or whatever animal five minutes ago. They put some enzymes on it. Changes the entire color. I saw it with my own eyes. Unbelievable. Or sometimes they'll inject the meat with water. Why? To build it up, so it looks puffier. The real chicken looks like it was on a food strike for three weeks. But then when you get it in the store, it looks puffy, like it was living large. Eating McDonald's every day. It's puffy chicken. In reality, you cut it, and almost all the air comes out. What happens? Oh, it's so juicy. It's not juicy. It's just water, buddy. It's just water. That's what's in it. It happens. It happens on a regular basis. The meat industry is filthy. Filthy. The goyim, obviously, it's on a regular basis. They do this in restaurants. They do it everywhere. So, to just say no, not possible.

1:15:43You have to trust the system itself, but you have to be careful. You have to, if you can, get to know who the owner of the store is, who is the mashgiach. Try to find out some things. Try to get as familiar as possible with those people as you can, the best you can. Why? Maybe you don't have to get to know them, but you know somebody that does. Oh, yeah, that guy, yeah, he's a good guy. He's a good guy. Learn with him. If he does that, it's no problem. Have something in it. Have something invested in it. Why? Because, again, like I said, it's a... Unfortunately, erev rav shows up in many, many different forms and sizes. And money is a fantastic tool to buy erev rav. Fantastic tool. Next question. Now that I scared you guys, you're not going to eat for a week. I think he has a question that he's reading right now. If it's that complicated, I don't know. Uh-huh.

1:17:1711 out of 13, how about this? We'll make it easier. We'll make it easier. 900, there's a thousand people praying. A thousand people praying. 991 don't keep Shabbat. 991 don't keep Shabbat. Nine of them keep Shabbat. Nine keep Shabbat. Do you have a minyan? You have a thousand people. Do you have a minyan? No minyan. Needless to say, 11 out of 13 don't keep Shabbat, it's not a minyan. What does that mean you have no minyan? You have 15 people, 20 people praying, nobody keeps Shabbat or most people don't keep Shabbat. What does that mean? You can't say Kaddish. The source is Hilkhot Shabbat chapter 30, halacha number 15. Someone that violates Shabbat is considered 100% a goy, an idol worshiper, the Rambam says. This means that if 13 people are there, 11 of them are considered idol worshipers. Now if I brought you Mustafa, and then I brought you Chris over here, and I said these guys are going to give you a shiur and say Kaddish at the end of the shiur, would anyone say Amen to this Kaddish?

1:18:44No, why? The idol worshipers, these people. You don't say amen to a blessing by an idol worshiper. The Gemara says it in many places about the din of a mechallel Shabbat, The Zohar says, the Shulchan Aruch says, everyone says. It's not a chumrah; it's not a stringency. When a person violates Shabbat, he's considered not only an idol worshiper; he's considered a person that screams out to Hashem, "I don't believe in You." That's what the Gemara in Masechet Shabbat says. So it's important for a person to know that if you have a place where Most people are not keeping Shabbat. You don't have at least ten people that are keeping Shabbat. You do not have a minyan, which means that if they say Kaddish, you're not allowed to say Amen. You're not allowed to have them do the blessings on the Torah. If they do the blessings on the Torah, on Shabbat or during the week, as one of the aliyot, the first three during the week, or all seven on Shabbat, if they're one of the first seven, they do the blessings, you're not allowed to say Amen.

1:19:55Why are you not allowed to say amen? Because it's like saying amen to a blessing of an idol worshiper. If an idol worshiper came to you and was like, "Oh, I pray to Yoshke, say amen." You're not going to say amen. Why? You're a Jew. When a Mechalel Shabbat does a blessing, it's like an idol worshiper doing a blessing. That's a problem. It's a very serious problem. Now, he doesn't believe that he's an idol worshiper. He doesn't believe in idol worship. Well, the Torah does. Now, some say, okay, maybe he's not 100% like an idol worshiper, where maybe you could... He's a tinok shenishba, just grew up a certain way, grew up in a certain town, maybe we could be a little lenient. And that's a confusion that people have. People think that if someone's... Which virtually doesn't really exist very much in this generation, but let's say it does. I met a couple, one for sure, a woman who was 79 years old and just discovered she's a Jew. That's an obvious tinok shenishba. She thought she was Christian her whole life. That's an obvious tinok shenishba. So they do exist, but it's not people that are living in cities that have hundreds of thousands or millions of Jews. But let's say...

1:21:15Let's say we go with the lenient approach, but people think that just because he's now identified as a tinok she'nishba, that he's like everybody else. That's wrong. Even if somebody is a tinok she'nishba, it doesn't mean he's like everybody else. It doesn't mean he goes to heaven if he dies tomorrow. He doesn't go to heaven. If a tinok she'nishba still doesn't keep Shabbat and dies the next day, he doesn't go to heaven. He still goes to Gehenom. A tinok she'nishba is simply a halachic term to use pertaining to how you treat him while he's alive. Which means, he's a tinok she'nishba, right? He doesn't keep Shabbat, but he touched your wine. If he was not a tinok she'nishba, and he knew he's violating Shabbat anyway and he touched your wine, you have to throw the wine out. But since he's a tinok she'nishba, the leniency is, you don't have to throw the wine out. That's it. That's it. Some say, oh, maybe you can count them in a minyan, maybe not. He doesn't go to heaven. But either way, no one says that they can go do the blessings on the Torah. Why? Because when the people have an aliyah, people have an aliyah to the Torah,

1:22:33What are they doing really? They're doing a mitzvah in the name of everyone. When people say Kaddish, what are they doing? They're doing a mitzvah in the name of everyone. So rather than everyone do this blessing on the Torah, rather than everyone say Kaddish individually, he is saying it in their name. He's, in essence, taking it on himself, and by you saying Amen, it's like you did it. So a guy that's a Mechalel Shabbat, whether he's a Tinok She'Nishba or not a Tinok She'Nishba, he's a Mechalel Shabbat. He cannot, in any circumstance, take mitzvot on himself. He's not even doing what he's supposed to. He's in no position to take on your mitzvot. Hence the reason why if he does Birkat HaTorah as one of the seven, one of the seven Aliyot, and you say Amen, it's a Bracha Levatala. It's saying Hashem's name in vain. It's a sin from the Torah and one of the Ten Commandments. So how come you still see Mechalelei Shabbat sometimes get an Aliyah in a good shul? Not a bad one, not the ones that sometimes you'll see they get an Aliyah anyway. What Aliyah do they give them?

1:23:45They give them the Mosif. Mosif is number 8, 9, 10, 11. When they do the blessing, they're just doing the blessing for themselves. They're not doing the blessing for anybody else. But that's because we've already filled up the first seven spots with people who are Shomrei Shabbat and took on the mitzvah for everybody else. He's a Mosif. He's number 8, 9. We don't have to have a Mosif. The Mosif is just an extra, just if you feel like adding it. Just to give him some encouragement to keep coming back. Gave him some kavod, you give him an aliyah anyway, number eight, number nine, number seventeen, whatever you want. But more than seven, beyond seven, you can count to a thousand if you want. Give everybody an aliyah. But the first seven, the ones that are doing the bracha for the klal, absolutely, absolutely no permission to have it as a Mechalel Shabbat. He's in no position to take on anybody else's responsibility, because he's not even fulfilling his own responsibility. encouragement to keep coming back. Give him some kavod, you give him an aliyah anyway, number eight, number nine, number seventeen, whatever you want. But more than seven, beyond seven, you can count to a thousand if you want. Give everybody an aliyah. But the first seven, the ones that are doing the bracha for the klal, absolutely, absolutely no permission to have it as a mechalel Shabbat. He's in no position to take on anybody else's responsibility, because he's not even fulfilling his own responsibility. So if a person says amen to his blessing, it's a bracha levatalah. So if a person goes to a shul that does not have at least 10 people who are Shomrei Shabbat, find a real shul. You don't have a real shul, pray at home. Pray at home. Why? Because you praying at home is better than you praying with 13 Mechalei Shabbat.

1:25:10Why is it better? Because if you're praying with 30 Mechalei Shabbat, surely they're going to say Kaddish. Surely they're going to bring out the Torah. Which means what? You're going to be a partner to a sin. They're going to say, no, come on, come on, no, no, we'll give you an Aliyah today. It's not that many of us. You get your turn, you're going to get an Aliyah. So now you have to do it, now you get an Aliyah. A non-kosher Aliyah. You're going to be responsible for sins. You go to Beit Knesset to do mitzvot or sins. If you want to go make sins, go to a nightclub instead, you'll have more fun. Go jump off a roof. I don't know, you'll have fun on the way down. You don't go to the Beit Knesset to make sins. Go to the Beit Knesset to make mitzvot. If there's no kosher minyan, it's not a Beit Knesset. It's a building with people in it. Instead of going to the Beit Knesset with 13 people that are mechalelei Shabbat, say, guys, listen, today my rabbi gave me different instructions. Instead of us praying shacharit together,

1:26:10I brought a projector. It's already set up. I came here at 5 o'clock in the morning. You guys are here. Just have a seat. You can have your tallit on if you want. You want to feel good about your tallit? No problem. Put the tallit on. Put the tefillin on. But instead of praying, instead of reading from siddurim, we're going to do something else. What are we going to do? Here, we're going to watch it. Play. One of the shiurim. Have all 13 of them. Watch one of the shiurim together. By the end of the shiur, they're all going to keep Shabbat. Have them watch the shiur together. Not have a fake minyan. Why? They watch you, they'll understand what violating Shabbat is, they'll stop keeping Shabbat. But to pray a fake minyan, there's no to'elet (benefit) whatsoever. There's no, nothing good comes out of it. Oh, they'll get offended, let them get offended. How come you're not worried about Hashem getting offended? A person needs to know that there are rules to the Torah, it's not suggestions. Next question.

1:27:11Yes. Right. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, of course. Even if a person grows up in a completely secular environment... He grew up in some kibbutz. He grew up in some Christian's house or whatever it is. But the minute he shows up to shul and he's told that he has to keep Shabbat, at that moment he is no longer a tinok shenishba. Now, of course, he's not going to be able to adopt all of the rules in one second. Number one, because he doesn't know all of them. And number two, because it's a major life adjustment. But you cannot consider him a tinok shenishba in perpetuity. You know, regardless of how he grew up, regardless of what he went through. And that's one of the things that the resha'im, the Erev Rav, want people to think. They think that everybody is a tinok shenishba because they all grew up secular and therefore Hashem is going to forgive them. This is Erev Rav 101. This is the same tool that all of the Erev Rav use. Pretty much they want to absolve everyone from sin. But the truth is that no one can absolve you from sin. We're not Christianity.

1:28:37And in reality, the fact that there are so many people that are actually secular helps the generation to some aspect in a strange way. This is a chiddush that I had about two years ago. And it's very interesting. Again, we want all of Am Yisrael to do teshuva. Both the religious people need to do teshuva and the non-religious need to do teshuva. Now, everyone knows that the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed for multiple reasons. One of the reasons was Chilul Shabbat. Another reason was Sinat Chinam. Now, and there are other reasons also. There are probably around 50 different reasons that are mentioned by Chazal of why the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed. Now, Lashon Hara is the most popular reason that people know about. But yet people continue saying Lashon Hara. Now, interestingly enough, If you say Lashon Hara about a Mechalel Shabbat or a secular person, a person who doesn't keep Shabbat, doesn't keep mitzvot, there's no Lashon Hara. There's no din of Lashon Hara. You're allowed to say Lashon Hara about someone who does not keep Shabbat. Now, although we're not happy that this guy is not keeping Shabbat,

1:30:01There is a plus here. What's the plus? The plus is that all of the people that do keep Shabbat but say Lashon Hara about this guy, at least they're not going to go to Gehenom for it. Why? Because the Rambam says, if somebody says Lashon Hara once in a while, he's going to get punished for it. But if somebody says Lashon Hara on a regular basis, he has no share in the World to Come. So some of these women that like to talk a lot, you know, every day they have three-hour phone calls with their friends, Out of the three hours, two hours and 59 minutes of Lashon Hara, one minute is just saying hello. They're always talking about the neighbor that doesn't keep this and that. If this issue was not there, if the Chafetz Chaim didn't write this in words, these women that are keeping Shabbat, keeping mitzvot, keeping everything, they would go to Gehenom permanently. So the fact that they're talking about a secular person is actually... Now, of course, we don't want this to continue. We don't want this person to continue saying Lashon Hara. and we don't want this person to continue violating Shabbat. We want both of them to fix themselves. But there is some nechama in this issue. There's some mercy from Hashem that you have this circumstance. You have this issue. But you can never ever say that it's good to say lashon hara and you can never ever say that it's good to violate Shabbat. It's just that you see the good and the bad. Point being is, our job in the world is to help Am Yisrael get closer to Hashem by showing them the one and only truth. Even if it's inconvenient, even if it's not comfortable, even if it's against what the rabbi said, or Erev Rav said, whoever said. Now when a person stands up for the truth, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gives him siyata dishmaya. When a person stands up for the sheker, eventually Hashem punishes that person by exposing him to the world, showing that he's a shakran, that he's a liar.

1:31:27help Am Yisrael get closer to Hashem by showing them the one and only truth. Even if it's inconvenient, even if it's not comfortable, even if it's against what the rabbi said, or Erev Rav said, whoever said. Now, when a person stands up for the truth, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gives him siyata dishmaya. When a person stands up for the sheker, eventually Hashem punishes that person by exposing him to the world, showing that he's a shakran, that he's a liar. Now, there was a guy years ago in Hungary, in the kehillah in Satmar, when the Rebbe in Satmar was still very young, was a young avreich, and the whole kehillah was keeping Torah and mitzvot. But this one guy was very rich, owned a meat factory. And he decided to maybe modernize things a little bit. You know, he made some money, wanted to celebrate. Let's do something, have a good time. So he set up a big party, invited the boys, invited the girls, let them have a good dance together. He didn't consider that.

1:32:53When the young Avrech, who later becomes the Rebbe MiSatmar, found out about this, he ran to the place, and he called one of the people, told him, "Get this guy outside, I want to talk to him." So the owner, the Baal HaBayit, wondered, "Who's this young religious man? What does he want from me?" "No, no, come on, come on, he's an important Avrech, he's a Talmid Chacham, talk to him." Okay, he comes outside. To his surprise, this rich guy thinks maybe he wants some tzedakah, maybe this. What does he want from me, this guy? Maybe he wants to come in. What does he want? "What are you doing? You're a sinner, and you're making other people sin. You're an enemy of Hashem." The guy got upset, pushed him. "Who are you to tell me?" The Rebbe M'Satmar says that hand that just made that sin and caused all of those people to make sins is going to get chopped up to pieces. The guy got even more upset, tried to beat up the Rebbe M'Satmar. The little young Avrech says to him, now that you made a sin with your whole body, your entire body is going to get chopped up.

1:34:13The guy left us, went his direction, and made a bunch of sins, causing many other people to make sins. That night, he had some drinks, had some fun, and went home. The next morning, he goes back to his company, his meat factory, making millions. He doesn't have to do very much; he just shows up and gets to the factory. As HaKadosh Baruch Hu would have it, when a tzaddik says something, HaKadosh Baruch Hu fulfills it. This guy slips in some way down the stairs, rolls down the stairs, and goes right into the meat grinder. And just like the Rebbe from Satmar told him the night before, he became pieces. Became hot dogs.

1:35:15Why? It caused people to sin. You're a sinner yourself. You're an enemy of Hashem. And even when you got rebuked by a tzaddik, you went against it anyway. Not only are you making sins, not only are you making other people sin, but you got rebuked. HaKadosh Baruch Hu sent you a private messenger to wake you up. You rejected it. HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, "That's it, you're finished. Finished." Next day, next day, the whole kehillah was scared for years. To this day, people are scared of hearing the name of the Rebbe from Satmar. The Baba Sali says the Rebbe from Satmar is one of the 36, one of the 36 tzaddikim that the whole world stood on when he was alive. You need to have 36 tzaddikim in the world... that are usually hidden in order for the world to exist. The Baba Sali, one of the Gedolei HaOlam, who probably himself was one of the 36, who knows? He himself says that the Rebbe from Satmar is one of the 36, for sure. No question. He says he's a Gadol HaOlam, he's something else. So when a person understands that HaKadosh Baruch Hu said certain things, some people don't understand it, some people don't know it, so He sends prophets.

1:36:40Now we don't have prophecy like we had 2,000 years ago. But HaKadosh Baruch Hu sends people to speak the emet. Prophet, navi, comes from niv sfatayim, a speaker. A speaker is niv sfatayim, someone that speaks, speaks the emet. Hashem is going to send speakers to be the messengers of truth to the people. Now if a person sins, it's not good. A person causes other people to sin, it's terrible. But HaKadosh Baruch Hu will still send him a prophet, still send him a speaker to tell him the truth. If he still rejects it at that point, after he sins, he causes other people to sin and Hashem sends him the messenger and he rejects it anyway, he becomes an enemy of Hashem. Some people are enemies of Hashem and don't even know it. They know nothing. They're eating pig and feeding people pig. They don't know there's anything wrong with it. We're talking about people who know and people who don't care.

1:37:40enemy of Hashem. Such people, David HaMelech says, I hate them more than anyone. I pray for them to die every day. Next question: Is it assur for Jewish teenagers to follow sports? Now, the yetzer hara is very, very smart and clever. It makes people think that eating non-kosher beef is better than eating pork. This is not allowed and that is not allowed. Now, sports—where does the word "sports" come from? Sparta.

1:38:41where the place where people cared only about their body, their physique, the materialism, and the anti-Torah. What does it mean to be anti-Torah? Anti-Torah means they cannot live in peace so long as the Torah exists. So these people, these reshaim, did everything they possibly could to destroy the Jews. by enticing them to join sports, to live life, to be careful about their physique. Do all types of exercises. They made the coliseums where they would have, they still have these coliseums, the old ones in Rome and other places around the world in Greece. But then you have giant ones all over the United States. You just call them sports stadiums. These are coliseums. where you have 22 giant overgrown males trying to kill each other over some pigskin, or a bunch of guys trying to fight over a little ball, whatever it is, all of these people, this is all Sparta, this is a continuation of Sparta. Now, the mentality of following sports being allowed is one of the tools of Amalek, one of the tools of the Erev Rav, that you're allowed to follow sports. Why? Because sports, unlike...

1:40:03anything else, sports is very addictive. You can't just watch a game that you don't know who's playing. Like, you're not just going to watch some random high school basketball game where everybody else is just an average player or less. You have to watch the NBA. ...and it's not just the NBA. You have to watch the team that you like. And how are you going to like them? You have to follow them. You have to follow their players, who they're trading, who they're getting as the rookie of the year, who's the best assister, who's the best this and that, and all that. And what kind of sneakers is he wearing? And what's the salary cap? And he's getting paid too much, and he's getting paid too little. And he signed with Nike, but he's with Adidas. And what ends up happening... You become a fan. What's a fan? Where does fan come from? Fanatic. Fan comes from fanatic. That's what a fan is. Fanatic about sports. You know everything about these teams, so you're not just watching a 90-minute game. you're investing your life into it. Because in order to like the game, to like the teams, you have to know who's playing and why you like them. You don't just like them because he's 6'6" and jumps, you know, jumps 40 inches into the air, and he runs a 40 in 3.9 seconds. No, you don't care about that. You care about different things. So that means you have to invest a lot of time into this. And that is a lot more than the 90 minutes of the actual game, or the 60 minutes of,

1:41:30that the basketball game or the football game or the baseball game is. It's a huge investment. You're constantly watching it. You're constantly looking at it. You're constantly arguing about it. Which means that even when you try to learn, you're thinking Rabbi Akiva, yeah, Rabbi Akiva, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also Rabbi Akiva, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Michael this, Michael that, LeBron James. You're not even sure who you're reading about. You start to think, maybe Rabbi Akiva and Rava, maybe his talmidim, maybe Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in the cave, he had a basketball hoop. You start distorting things in your head. You can't be focused when you're a fan. Now, are you allowed to play sports? It's a different question. Playing sports in order to exercise is allowed. You're allowed to play a little bit of basketball as long as it's not on Shabbat because for anyone that's an adult, the ball is considered muktzeh. And it's also something that you do during Yemei Chol, during the weekday. It's not an action that you would do on Shabbat. But if it's during the week, you want to exercise

1:42:33via playing basketball, via exercising, running, or something like that, whatever you want to do, that's allowed. That's allowed to exercise. But to become a fanatic, to become one of these people that watches the games on a regular basis, is absolutely forbidden. Not only as a bitul Torah, but also as could be even considered avodah zarah to some extent. Why avodah zarah? When you become a fan, and I know quite a few of them, You simply start obsessing over these people, obsessing over the sport, fighting over it, crying over it. Your team lost. I can't believe it. Why is Hashem doing this to me? Why is He doing this to me? What? You're 25 years old, you idiot. You're crying over a bunch of people that make $50 million a year because they lost? You idiot. Do you understand what they're going to do to you in Shamayim for crying over this, but not crying over the Beit HaMikdash?

1:43:33You didn't cry this much when your own father died, but you're crying over a basketball game, a football game, and not only that, you're blaming Hashem. Why is Hashem doing this to me? Like He has to change the world so you can continue going against Him. The demented mentality that we have sometimes really boggles my mind. It's mamash chesed Elohim that we're still alive. You see grown men crying over their football team, their basketball team, or God forbid if they're from Europe or another area of the world, soccer. Hashem yishmor v'yatzil. There's been murders over that game. Literally. They kill people. You think this is what HaKadosh Baruch Hu means by "k'doshim tihyu ki kadosh Ani"? You're a holy nation? You think He was referring to those people? He was talking to us who are learning Torah, who are fanatic about Torah. You want to use exercise, use exercise, no problem. But to spend any time watching these sports, absolutely forbidden. In fact, the Steipler Gaon, Steipler Gaon, Rav Kanievsky's father,

1:44:51The Steipler Gaon says, television, you watch television, news, games, all that stuff. In his days, it was much better TV than today. Even in his day, he says, watching regular news networks, regular TV, avodah zarah mamash. He called watching television, you're watching shows, you watch Netflix, you watch movies, regular base, this is your life, you watch sports, avodah zarah mamash. Idol worship. Yeah, but he goes to shul, Rabbi. Okay, so there's a lot of people that idol worshipers go to. So a person needs to understand, in order to become the Jew that he's supposed to become, in order for her to become the Jew that they're supposed to become, the most important thing is to not allow the tumah to enter your mind. Because if you allow the tumah to enter your mind and enter your heart, it doesn't matter how many mitzvot you do, there's always going to be filth on them. You can get the best piece of meat in the world, but if there's filth on it, no one's gonna eat it. Doesn't matter what the cow was, it could be a red cow from the Beit HaMikdash, if there's filth on it, no one's gonna eat it. Your neshama cannot reach its full potential if it has filth on it. And if you allow this filth to constantly hit your system,

1:46:13Every day for an hour, two hours, three hours, every day. How are you expecting to arrive to Olam HaBa? But how exactly do you expect to learn Torah and understand anything? When you go up to Shamayim, are you going to tell Hashem the annual salary cap of the Knicks for the last 20 years in a row because you remember it by heart? And Who was the best trade over the last 20 years in baseball? What are you gonna tell them and show in Shamayim when you go up there? You have to say 40 days and 40 nights of shiur Torah. And some chachamim say it's not 40 days—wrong—180 days. 180 days of Torah. No jokes, no breaks. No bathroom. No food. 180 days straight of Torah and... How are you gonna have time to learn that much, to say that much, if you're spending your time watching sports? How? How? Never, never gonna be. And you'll also notice that most successful people in the world do not waste their time on this stuff. There are a few exceptions here and there, but generally speaking...

1:47:27That's only after they became really, really successful and they have nothing to do with their life. Like this Mark Cuban who decided that he likes basketball and bought a basketball team. So he goes to every game because he has nothing else to do with his life. But generally speaking, it's very rare. Successful people in life do not become fans of sports. They'll watch it randomly. They'll go once a year to some Super Bowl game or whatever it is, just for the show and to have something to do. But everyday fan? No chance in the world. Why? They're too busy being successful. If the people that are successful know that you cannot waste your life watching sports and watching TV, and they just want to be successful in this world. It's even more so if you want to be successful in the next world as a Jew. How much your responsibility is to refrain from watching all of this nonsense and wasting your life. Next question. No. No. So the Midrashim and also the Gemara and Zohar and so on say that Shlomo HaMelech, in all of his wisdom, understood that there's a lot more to this world than meets the eye, and he wanted to show people that there's more to this world. So he had...

1:48:45so the Midrashim, as well as the Gemara and Zohar, say that Shlomo HaMelech, in all of his wisdom, understood that there's a lot more to this world than meets the eye, and he wanted to show people that there's more to this world, so he had the king of the demons, Ashmedai, captured, and then he told the king of the demons to go. He has to serve him because Shlomo HaMelech was not a king of just flesh and blood. Shlomo HaMelech was king of everything – king of the birds, king of the animals, king of the demons. He was king of everything; everyone served him. not like, uh, today, uh, Trump or Putin or something like that. So, uh, Shlomo HaMelech told the king of the demons to go get him some of these beings that live under the ground. They live in a different world within our world, and he did, and one of them says that he brought him somebody that had multiple heads, multiple heads.

1:50:08then he also brought him somebody really small and so on and so forth, and different animals and all types of things that don't exist in this world, but nonetheless, they do exist. So from here, we learn that yes, there are things in the world that are very different from what we think is normal. I would speculate that it's very possible that if there is a any pictures of strange-looking beings that are floating on the internet, that people say, "Oh, this is an alien, this is a UFO that was captured." If any of that is real at all, it's not UFOs at all. It's people, it's things that live here. They just look different than us. To us, it looks like it came from a different planet, but it's from this planet nonetheless. The Torah doesn't even say that there is or there isn't life on other worlds because it's not going to affect us ever. There's never going to be, like in an Independence Day movie, where there's a giant ship showing up to Earth and a bunch of aliens start to take over. That will never be. That will never be. But as far as strange beings being discovered or seen, that's already happened.

1:51:28already happened. We have it in the Torah that's mentioned. We used to have giants, people with multiple heads, animals that don't exist anymore, that if we saw them today, we would think that they have almost superpowers. The point being is that there are many, many creatures that we would not consider normal, but nonetheless, they are part of this world and have always been. They're not like genetic mutations. They're just part of this world, and they serve some other purpose. I have no idea what their purpose is, but nonetheless, they do have a purpose. There are certain animals that used to exist that were very strange. There was one animal that's actually mentioned in the Torah that was a vicious animal. that would destroy any animal, anything in its sight. No one could take this thing down unless you shot an arrow at a specific point, which would be almost impossible. Nonetheless, it happened because, aside from its overwhelming power, it had one limitation. What was this limitation? Its umbilical cord was tied to the ground.

1:52:53connected to the ground, so it would travel everywhere, and its umbilical cord would go with it. The ground, in essence, almost, I guess, would go with it, I guess. But nonetheless, that was the limitation; you had to cut it off from there. Now, no one would even get close to it because they'd be eaten alive by then. But the point is, that's why it had to be an arrow. Such a strange animal like this, that's in the Torah also. Now, if it showed up right now on Broadway in New York, a bunch of people would think, "Oh, an alien has arrived." Not an alien; it's always been here, just you never saw it before. ...know it's the same thing with mermaids. People think it's just a fairy tale. No, Chazal and Rashi mention it, and several others say that there are beings within the ocean that look half like man and half like fish. They do exist. They do exist. Now, there are some places that say they saw it, and we don't know if anyone in today's world... a picture of it. But nonetheless, if our Torah says it exists, that's it. That's what we go by. It exists. It exists, you know. And so some of these things are quite a bit, you know, part of the mystical parts. Now, somebody sent me a tag to your question. Someone sent me a voicemail that they were shocked at the video that we published today, and...

1:54:15Anyone who hasn't watched this video should watch it. We put some English translation on it, subtitles. Now, to be scared, you don't have to watch the video. Just hear his voice. His voice alone is scary. But to actually see what he says, that's scary stuff. Wasitov says that, you know, there was a common thing that happens. It's been going on already in Israel for years. Israeli soldiers and Israeli guys and girls, for whatever reason, they love the koach hatumah. They love the impure power. So they play with it through Ouija boards and doing seances and... These things are real. If you know how to do it, you could make certain things happen. You could bring neshamos from Kaf HaKela or Gehinnom even to give you information. Now, it's forbidden 100% to do it, but nonetheless, there were a few people that did it, and it's very common in the Israeli army. One time, a group of them did it, and they brought down the neshama of Ben-Gurion.

1:55:30the first Prime Minister of Medinat Yisrael, and Ben-Gurion was very upset that they bothered him. I asked him, "Where are you?" He replied, "I am in boiling feces, being judged for all the sins that I have made. But now, because you burdened me, none of you are allowed to leave this room until dawn, until the morning." They're all scared, but one of them said at some point, "Okay, can I go to the bathroom?" He said, "You're only allowed to go to the bathroom if you go alone." So the guy gets up, goes alone. As soon as he goes alone, goes in the bathroom, they hear a huge sound, a collapse. They run in there. They see this guy collapsed, unconscious. They breathe back in there and bring him back to life. "What happened?" they asked. He said, "I saw him." "What do you mean you saw him? You saw what?" "I saw Ben-Gurion."

1:56:31So then they went back to the Ouija board and they said, why is he so scared of you? Why are you so scary? He says, because after all of the suffering, the things that they're doing to him in Shamayim, he says, I've lost my appearance of a human being. I don't look like a human being anymore. And even when he saw him, he says he's full of filth, he's full of feces, fecal matter. So, One of the people thought that, in the beginning, this was a joke. So Ben-Gurion cursed him, told him that he's going to suffer, and so on. The guy started shaking and getting scared. The point being is that this is one of many, many stories that are like this. There are many stories like this that Rabbi Yagen and other Rabbanim have told over the years. And you have the witnesses, you have the people that tell the stories. There's actually a very famous movie that Irgun B'Chagvei Sela publicized in the last several months of a famous story of a... soldier that was in the army, and he did a séance with, I believe, 11 or 12 other people. They brought down a soul, and the soul told them that all of them are going to die. "All of you are going to die in a war." Now, it was during peace. There was no war. "What are you talking about, war? There's no war." He says, "All of you are going to die," and

1:57:54soon when he gave him dates, all of it was within like a week. Now, he got scared to death but figured, "Okay, at least there's no war. We're all actually going back home for a weekend." So, I went back home. We can have a good time on that weekend. One of the wars of Eretz Yisrael started. Alarms all over the country, all the reserves, all the guys on vacation have to go back to base. We're going on a mission. We're going back. There's a war; the country's at war. The guy says all of them, they were one platoon, one group of people, and they went to war. He saw each one of them get killed one after another and... And they all noticed that the group was the only one that was dying in this situation, one after another. He says he's the only one that survived because he did Teshuvah. He started praying to Hashem, crying, and did complete Teshuvah. And this is probably, it's a famous story actually. It's in the newspapers and so on. He told this; this video was made maybe 15-20 years after this whole thing happened.

1:59:05So, the point is that the mystical aspects of Judaism, the mystical parts of Judaism, literally have no end. There are parts of the world that are very abnormal to us, very abnormal to people who are used to just seeing regular things, but nonetheless, they're standard language in the Jewish world. Rabbi Yehuda Fattaya, alav ha-shalom, one of the gedolim in the previous generation, with, oh, this mic. Rabbi Yehuda Fattaya, alav ha-shalom, one of the gedolim in the previous generation, with, oh, this mic. Rabbi Fattaya used to deal with even more extreme things than this. Anyone that reads the book Minchat Yehuda, different stories that Rabbi Fattaya himself, you know, of his own life, he would deal with dibbukim, which are even scarier than this. This is wicked neshamot that go into a body of a living person and take over. Rabbi Fattaya used to deal with even more extreme things than this. Anyone that reads the book Minchat Yehuda, different stories that Rabbi Fattaya himself, you know, of his own life, he would deal with dibbukim, which are even scarier than this. These are wicked neshamot that go into the body of a living person and take over.

2:00:25And he dealt with some really, really, you know, he would try to help these neshamot in order to convince them to leave the people because they would cause them a lot of anguish. And he said that at one point, he actually dealt with Shabtai Tzvi, Shem Reshaim Yirkav. Shabtai Tzvi is one of the fake Mashiachs that we had throughout the generations. He dealt with him and helped do a tikkun on his neshama. The stuff that he told them that he's dealing with, you know, in the next world and how they're torturing him and what they're doing to him. You guys think my shiur about Gehinnom is scary? Just read that book. It's scary. But the point is, why does anybody say all of these stories? What is the benefit of talking about séances of people that are suffering or people dying or Gehinnom? What's the point of all of it? There's a couple of things. Number one is for everyone to understand that life does not end with death. In fact, it's only the beginning, the beginning of the permanent life. So, when a person knows that this life is just a corridor to the real life, if they know this, they'll act differently in this life. The second thing is to know that there is reward and punishment.

2:01:45Reward and punishment is a critical part of us, of our Torah. Without reward and punishment, we have no Torah. So, it's very important for us to know that. The third thing is to understand that just because you don't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Now, you won't care if it exists or doesn't exist if it doesn't affect you. For example, you don't care if radio waves exist or not as long as your phone continues to work. You don't care if there are radio waves. You're not going to go check into it. You're not going to go look into it. Oh, let me see how radio waves work. Oh, let me see how this box heats food if it's a microwave. You don't really care about that stuff. Why? It doesn't affect you. If it stops working, it affects you. But that's the thing. The Torah says that there are certain things that you don't see. Sometimes they affect you, sometimes they don't affect you. Either way, you need to know about them. Why? For the few times that it does affect you. For the few times that it does affect you. So, a person that understands that this is very mystical, or what they call mysticism, which for some of the sages, mysticism was like everyday life.

2:03:00is a very critical part of Judaism. It's not like some foreign teaching or something that's on the outside. Now, there are parts of the mystical that it's forbidden to teach the public and even forbidden for most people to learn because this is called Kabbalah Ma'asit, which is above our pay grade, to say the least. It's doing certain things to deal with the mystical worlds, and that could become very, very dangerous. So, I mean, I know of a few people that went above their pay grade and got into trouble for it. You know, one guy went crazy. You know, he's in a mental institution. He was a serious, serious Talmid Chacham. A few people were hurt by it. People think that, "Oh no, I'm gonna delve into Kabbalah, Rabbi," and... Most likely you're reading some Zohar Midrash, but you're calling it Kabbalah. It's not really Kabbalah. It's just the Midrash and the Zohar. The Zohar has many parts. In reality, if you're dealing with real Kabbalah, unless you're a serious Talmid Chacham, that's an expert in Shas, an expert in Shulchan Aruch, an expert in Poskim, an expert in all the major things that you are required to do—expert, not just read it once.

2:04:20You're known as a Talmid Chacham. You're a person that's Kadosh, meaning the issues of Tikkun HaBrit are not even relevant to you. Nothing. You're Kadosh. Unless you're that, you touch that stuff, you get hurt. It won't help you. And that's the problem. A lot of times people go into that, they try to go into that world, and they start becoming Meshubashim, start becoming a little off. off, so it's a... There is a lot more to this world. To answer your question in so many words, as you've noticed, I'm a little bit long-winded. But there's a lot more to the world than you see in this world, not just the next world. In this world, there's a lot more to it. Next, almost done. One question maybe, and we'll go. Yeah. So, when we look at business and a person selling, we have to look at

2:05:44you know, who the majority is, who the majority of the customers are, who the majority of the potential customers are. Now, if a person can choose, of course, it's ideal for a person to only choose kosher products—kosher food, kosher clothes, kosher everything. Of course, it's much better to do that. But if a person is part of their job, and let's say they work in non-kosher clothing or non-kosher other things, Now, if they're in a market where the majority of the people are not Jewish, then they're allowed to do it because it's more likely that a non-Jew is going to buy from them. It's more likely that a non-Jew is going to buy from them whatever they're buying from them. Somebody asked me a similar question about selling CBD. online to, uh... you know, multi-level marketing recently. Uh... CBD bites, by default, is, uh... is okay usage of medicine. It doesn't get you high, of course. Uh... not to sell marijuana unless you're a doctor and you deal with only sick people, not, chas v'shalom, to fix it for people.

2:06:49But CBD doesn't get you high. So people that are using it actually do want to get healthier. They don't want to get high. So that is kosher. But the problem is what they do; they put CBD in certain non-kosher products. Look, they'll put the CBD inside gummy bears that are not kosher, that have non-kosher ingredients like gelatin that's from a pig or horse bones or something like that. You're not allowed to eat non-kosher gummy bears or any type of gummy candy. Or they'll put it in chocolate. other types or muffins or whatever it is. So now those products you're not allowed to eat. Even if it has CBD in it, you're not allowed to eat it because they're not kosher food. You have another choice. You can use the oil or a pill or something like that that you're allowed to eat. But what about selling it? You're allowed to sell it if you're selling it in a market where the majority of the customers are not Jewish. And the market of the internet is 8 billion people. The majority of them are not Jewish. But on the other hand, if you're going to open a non-kosher, let's say, clothing store or food store or whatever it is, in a Jewish community, now you have a problem. Why? Because the majority of your customers are going to be Jewish. Now you have a serious problem. But if you're selling things online or in certain parts of the country or places where the majority of the people are not Jewish, then it's not a problem, not a problem. Ideally, you would go into a 100% kosher business, but again, that's what's allowed and what's recommended. A person needs to have a rav to tell them what's recommended, what's allowed, but generally speaking, again, a person doesn't necessarily need to be so stringent that they're doing more than the law and they can't handle it.

2:08:13where the majority of the people are not Jewish, then it's not a problem, not a problem. Ideally, you would go into a 100% kosher business, but again, that's what's allowed and what's recommended. A person needs to have a rav to tell them what's recommended, what's allowed, but generally speaking, a person doesn't necessarily need to be so stringent that they're doing more than the law and they can't handle it. So if they are able to get a better job that doesn't require non-kosher situations, of course that's ideal. But to be honest with you guys, the most non-kosher business today is almost every business. Why? Because the people are not kosher. Not the product. You could have people selling toys, books, Sifrei Torah, tefillin, food. All of which looks kosher, but the people are not kosher sometimes. They cheat in business, they don't pay people on time, they cheat the customers, all types of things. So, make sure you don't work for a company like that. Make sure you don't work for a company that's cheating their customers, cheating their people, doesn't pay people on time, and so on. That, I believe, causes a lot more damage.

2:09:34Then people can imagine simply because they think, "You know, as long as I'm selling a kosher product, I can do whatever I want." No, there are rules to business. Rules on how to conduct business ethically, rules of halacha. You can't do whatever you want. As a Jew, you have rules; even as a non-Jew, you have rules. But much more so as a Jew, you have many rules you have to comply with, and if you break them, it's a problem. Next? Anything else? No? ... ... ... ... ...

2:10:35Siata Dishmaya is divine assistance. If a person prays to Hashem, a person who works on their emunah, their bitachon, does mitzvot, and so on, and prays to Hashem to help him, prays for Siata Dishmaya, prays for divine assistance, that's not a problem. In fact, the more bitachon they have in Hashem, the more they're giving Hashem a reason to help them. As the Pasuk says, Someone that has bitachon in Hashem, kindness will go upon him. Meaning that Hashem helps a person just for having bitachon in Him, needless to say, for doing mitzvot and so on. But Ruach HaKodesh, on the other hand, Ruach HaKodesh is a completely different level. For that, you have to become a very, very pure person. And there is a shiur, actually, I believe it's in the Pirkei Avot series, where I go over the instructions, the steps of what a person must do in order to attain Ruach HaKodesh. And is it possible to attain it? Yes. There are only a few people in the world that maybe have it. Maybe. That's not even a certainty. In essence, Ruach HaKodesh is Hashem giving you insight into what He's thinking.

2:11:57You know, it's almost like prophecy. It's not prophecy quite, but it's almost. It's a different level of being. Now, can a person get to that? Sure. If he becomes an Ish Kadosh, he becomes an Ish HaKadosh. Both women and men that had Ruach HaKodesh have existed. But most people that say they have Ruach HaKodesh today are usually idol worshippers. they're crazy people or both. So it's Ruach HaKodesh; it's not something that an impure person would have. But can HaKadosh Baruch Hu give a person insights into certain things that are happening, or certain feelings that certain things will happen, or certain things that are happening? Yes, but that's not necessarily Ruach HaKodesh. That's Nitzot Ruach HaKodesh. Like You feel like such-and-such is gonna call you, and two minutes later or that day, that guy calls you. You haven't talked to him in 20 years. You thought about it, but that day he called you. That's not what I call this. That's Nitzot Ruach HaKodesh. So it's like a spark of Ruach HaKodesh. Ruach HaKodesh is mamash something out of this world. But anyway, some people have HaKadosh Baruch Hu give them little tiny gifts for different reasons that He has.

2:13:13that person will have little nitzotzim, little sparks of Ruach HaKodesh. But real Ruach HaKodesh, like on a regular basis, a person has to be kadosh. Very kadosh. Very, very kadosh. That takes a lot of Torah, a lot of mitzvot. A lot. A lot. But again, a person's number one concern should be To be righteous with Hashem, with or without Ruach HaKodesh, with or without anything. Why? You need to do it. It's good for you. If you do it, HaKadosh Baruch Hu will give you a lot of divine assistance. He'll give you so much siyata dishmaya, so much help, you might as well have Ruach HaKodesh. Might as well have Ruach HaKodesh. But don't get crazy. Once you start seeing good things happen, don't start getting full of yourself. It's very easy to get full of yourself. It's very easy to think that you're righteous. Very easy to think that you're like something special. Don't go there. Don't think of yourself as wicked, but don't think of yourself as some tzaddik or some tzaddeket. It's not good. Always look at yourself in the middle. You're always in the middle. That's what the Rambam says. Always in the middle. You're not a rasha, you're not tzaddik. You're in the middle. Why? The next action can change everything.

2:14:31If it's a sin, I become a rasha. If it's a mitzvah, I become a tzaddik. Okay, but I did the mitzvah. Okay, now you start again. Start again. You're back to 50. You're back to 50. 50%. 50%. Always, always. Always look at yourself as in the middle. Don't look at yourself as wicked because you'll become depressed and lose all steam of doing teshuva. the same token, don't look at yourself as a tzaddik and think that you're doing enough. There's always more to do. A lot of times, people tell me, "Oh, listen, what else could I do to become better?" Everything! That's the answer: everything. Everything you're doing, you can do better. "Yeah, but I'm already learning two hours a day." Learn four. "Oh, it's too much." Oh, okay, there you go. But how? Well, Hashem really expects me to learn. No, He actually expects you to learn more than four hours. I'm just being a little lenient on you because if I told you eight, nine, ten hours, you'd have a heart attack. So, let's try four. Let's try three. Try two and a half, something. A person needs to know: if you're alive, you can do a lot more. Sometimes people ask you, "Oh, what could I do for good things to happen to me? I'm sick. What could I do for me to get cured? I'm poor. What could I do to get money?"

2:15:43I'm having problems. What can I do to solve these problems? She told him, okay, let's do some house cleaning. Are you modest? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Okay, check. Do you keep Shabbat? Yeah, of course we keep Shabbat. What do you talk about on Shabbat? You know, work and things. Check. Okay, kosher. You eat out at restaurants, everything? Yeah, you eat at non-kosher restaurants? Only salad. Check. Your kids, which school do they go to? Oh, you know, they go to the Chabad center that has half the, oh, you mean the one that has 50% of the talmidim are goyim? Yeah, but they're nice people. Check. Okay, so you're doing everything wrong. Your Shabbat's not Shabbat; you're talking about work. The school your kids are going to, and they're going with goyim. Forbidden. Completely. I don't care if it's called Chabad or it can be called Beit HaMikdash for all I care. Not allowed to go to school. Jews are not allowed to go to school with non-Jews. Why? There was something else. Yeah, but they're teaching Torah. Doesn't make a difference.

2:16:51Why? You have intermarriage already over 80% in America. You want to increase the statistic with your kids too? So, school is wrong. Your Shabbat is wrong. You eat what? Salads? At non-kosher places? Okay, it's worse than eating pig. Why? Pig is one sin. The salad can be six. Why? Bugs. The goyim are not obligated to clean their salads. They can eat their salads with the bugs in it. So, you're eating salad in a non-kosher place; you're eating bugs. So, your kashrut is not as good as you think. Your tzniut is sometimes yes, sometimes no. Your wig is longer than the exile. Your dress is tighter than your skin. Sometimes, we can see your bones. Sometimes, we actually can see some type of organ, but we're not sure if it's the heart or the lungs. That's how tight it is. You have no modesty at all. Modesty doesn't count when you're just sleeping under the covers; it's when you're out of sleep also. What does that mean? Start over. Throw out your clothes. Get some new clothes that are modest all the time. Not sometimes. Why? Sometimes, when you do mitzvot, sometimes, when you're sometimes modest, and you sometimes keep Shabbat, and you're sometimes kosher, and you're sometimes, what are you saying to Hashem? Sometimes I believe in You, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'm a tzaddik, sometimes I'm an atheist. What do you think Hashem is going to say to you?

2:18:20Sometimes you'll be in Gehenom, sometimes Kaf HaKela. Sometimes. Like Ben-Gurion. Like Nachman Bialik also came in that same séance. They asked Nachman Bialik. Nachman Bialik told them, "I'm in Kaf HaKela for 49 years." "Why are you in Kaf HaKela for 49 years?" He says, "I'm preparing for Gehenom." "But why 49 years? How did I come up with 49 years?" "Oh, one time for each time I committed adultery." One year in Kaf HaKela, just to prepare me to go to Gehenom. What you don't see doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Does a person need to only focus on the scary stuff? No. You just need to know enough about it to keep you away from sin. Next time you have a yetzer hara, think, do I want this or not? Do I want this bad stuff to happen to me? No. Okay, let's go back to the books. Yeah, but I don't feel like it. It doesn't matter if you don't feel like it. Do you feel like going to Gehenom? Do you feel like going to Kaf HaKela? Do you feel like being some hot dog like the guy that was going against the Satmar Rebbe? No, right? Okay, so go learn some Torah. Go learn some Torah. I promise you, you're going to feel like it. When? In Gan Eden. You're going to feel like it a lot. You're going to feel like it a lot. In Gan Eden, you're going to say, Baruch Hashem, I felt like it. Why? I arrived in Gan Eden.

2:19:40Thank you for asking some interesting questions tomorrow. Next week, we're going to continue our series on Jewish ideology (Hashkafah Yehudit) on Sunday night. Again, as a reminder for anyone that wants to order the Posters, you can go to the website based on the same organization; you can order in the store. I actually have some in my car for anyone that wants to give them out. The CDs, for anyone who wants to order, are on the website as well. We are looking for a distribution company that will do a one-day giveaway. So if you know anybody that's in the distribution business and knows what they're doing, please let me know. We're going to try to give them out as soon as possible because this is the refuah. I believe with complete emunah that this is the cure. Cure for Corona, cure for Am Yisrael. We just have to print enough. So we have to start with this, and we're going to give it out as soon as possible. Baruch Adonai le'olam. Amen ve'amen.
