0:42Nobody wanted this kid. He went to this big rabbinic authority. What is yeshiva, which you have to be a big talmid to come to do it? Now, you already knew the story, this guy's problematic, and so on. But you wanted to help him out and he said, "Okay, I'll ask you a question. If you know the answer, we'll let you in." Wasn't exactly a genius, this kid. He said you started learning positive. It's okay. What do you do if the egg that the chicken laid hatched on Yom Tov? If the egg hatched on Yom Tov, what do you do? What's the halacha? What do you do? And the unlearned person, the guy says, "You make an omelet."
2:10The rabbi says, "Perfect answer. You're accepted. Accepted. There were other people there. They know it's wrong. It's not an omelet. That's the answer. That's what the Gemara is talking about, making omelets. What, in the kitchen? What, in the diner? That's the answer. So you go like, the guy, you ask the guy a question. If the egg hatches on Yom Tov, what do you do with it?" He said, "Make an omelet." I mean, the guy is in a different world. This guy says, "No, no, no, no. All I needed to do was find out if his head thinks straight, if he's an honest person." I asked him, what do you do with an egg that's hatched on Yom Tov? He told me honestly what he would do, which is he would make an omelet. That's an honest person. That means I can teach him Torah. As far as making him interested and as far as giving him the right information, that's my job.
3:15I already know he didn't know, but I want to know if he stays honest. Is he going to make up an answer and tell me all he knows? Yeah, and he starts making up a whole thing. He's a liar; he has lies in his veins. Or he's honest. He's going to tell me what he really thinks. He told me what he really thinks. That's the person I want to teach. That's the person I want to teach, making him interested, making him informed, having the right answer. That's my job. That's the rabbi's job. I've signed him and told this to every single rosh kollel he met. He said, "What would you do? Would you accept this kid?" I told him, "You're going to make an omelet because that's the right answer—accepting the kid that wants to make an omelet." Why? All you need is a straight mind. You don't need to be a genius. All you need is a straight mind. I asked you a question. You tell me the answer. Right or wrong is irrelevant. The point is: Are you honest? Are you intellectually honest? Intellectually honest, I can insert the right information in there, but if you're not, if you're a liar, it doesn't matter what I tell you. You're gonna change the answer anyway to whatever suits your needs, and...
4:24That's what's happening with many people from different sects of Judaism, whether it is Christianity, Messianics, or some who call themselves Open Orthodoxy, Reform, or Conservative. All these people, everyone, wants to make peace. There is no peace with terrorists. There is no peace with terrorists, people that take our Torah and pervert it. They are 100% spiritual terrorists. Peace with terrorists? They can call themselves whatever they want; if they take our Torah and try to change it, they are spiritual terrorists. There's no peace with them. The reality is these people try to add a lot to the Torah because they like it better, because it suits their needs, because it makes more money, or because it accepts everyone as equals. The Torah says everyone is not equal. There is no such thing as everyone being equal. There is no such thing. That's communism. The Torah doesn't believe in communism. Everyone is not equal. A Talmid Chacham is higher than someone that's not a Talmid Chacham. A Rabbi is higher than the students. A father is higher than the child. A mother is higher than the child. It's a reality. Levi'im are higher than the Yisraelim. And so on and so forth.
5:49There's no such thing as everyone's equal. Enough with this communist mentality. Everyone who perverts the Torah, they’re only doing it because they care about one thing: bank accounts. teach someone Torah, all you need to know is, are they intellectually honest? Not, are they intellectual, where they know all the information already. Are they intellectually honest? Meaning, you're going to provide them the right answer, and they'll say, Kibalti — accepted. That's the answer. That's Emet — finished. That's it. Not, "Yeah, but you know what? I understand what you're saying about Shabbat, but it doesn't really work for me. So can you change that?" It doesn't work for me. Can you change that? I understand that's taharat hamishpacha, that you're supposed to be with your wife for almost half the month, but I have a lot of desires. So can I just go with a prostitute? Like this Dror Kasuta says? You know, he says, go with a prostitute if your wife doesn't want to be with you. It's okay, it's fine, no? It's fine, no? Can I do it? Sh'tuyot, Rabotai. We can't change the Torah.
7:00We cannot change the Torah. We have a single Torah; like it or not, that's the truth. If you're intellectually honest, you can become a vessel to accept the Torah. If you're a liar, you're a spiritual terrorist. That's it. There's nothing in between.
