0:03Is it possible for a person, it is said, to come to this world with a man's body and a woman's soul? Is it possible? There are two parts to a soul. Every soul in the world today is not a complete soul, so we have to understand that we are all sparks. Wall sparks now again, says that a man has a zivug—that is, if he's righteous, he's going to have a zivug that's a righteous woman. If he's wicked, he'll have a not modest woman, and in essence, they are both part of the same soul. He's one side; she's the other side. He can be the masculine side; she can be the feminine side. But sometimes, a male has a feminine soul. It doesn't mean that he should marry a guy. It just means that he has a feminine soul, and his partner, the one that's going to make him happy, is going to be a more masculine soul, a more masculine woman.
1:14So, as far as people who are trying to somehow rationalize or justify LGBT and rainbow people, there's no permission whatsoever. If you are born biologically a woman, you have to act and dress like a woman. If you are born biologically as a man, you have to act... and follow the laws of men, uh, there's no permission for a man to dress like a woman or for a woman to dress like a man. It's forbidden even if you have a feminine soul or a masculine soul. It's irrelevant; you still have to act accordingly. I actually have a relative, a distant cousin, that we always knew was a very, very feminine guy. even as kids. And I didn't see him for, I don't know, maybe 25 years. And when I finally saw him, when I came to visit, one of the times I came to visit in Israel, he was still the very same effeminate guy that I remembered from my childhood. But I was surprised that he was married to a woman with four kids, four or five kids. And he was a good father and a husband, but he's an extremely effeminate guy, religious guy.
2:34So again, this whole thing about people somehow trying to rationalize and justify their immorality, stop wasting your time. We are meant to be a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless. It's a zilzul, disrespect, to the Torah and could lead to Chilul Hashem, desecration of God's name. Stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays. That's the path of a true Jew. to the Torah and could lead to Hillul Hashem, desecration of God's Name. Stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays. That's the path of a true Jew.
