1:28Sini in Hebrew refers to Chinese. The Sini came after Shem; he was Shem's grandson. So, at the very least, the Chinese have almost two billion. We should have two billion; at the very least, we should have the same number. I heard from Rav Zitron, my friend in New York, a Tzadik. He did a lecture recently, and he said 2,000 years ago, someone did some statistics. They said that there were approximately 14 million Jews back then, and there were 25 million Chinese people. 14 million, 25 million. 2,000 years. 2,000 years later, we're still 14 million, but they're 2 billion. We don't rebuke people. We don't tell them to stop going to the electric outlet. We keep letting them go, go to the electric outlet. Yeah, but it's dangerous, let him go. Let him find out on his own. No, but it's Mechalel Shabbat. What, you might not? Let him go, let him go. It's like you know, it's reform. No, it's okay, it's okay. It's Tzedukim. It's all of these things. They keep letting them go to the electric outlet. Why? Because they don't love you. They don't love you, they love your money.

2:45That's as tough as it gets. How do I know? I was one of them. I was one of them. I'm the example. I am the example of why it doesn't work, of why much if you don't have merit. Rambam, Rambam says in Hilchot Teshuva, he says at the end of times not everybody's gonna be happy. Not everybody's gonna be happy when Mashiach comes. It actually says in Masechet Ta'anit. Also, Masechet Ta'anit says that at the end of times, not everybody's gonna be happy when Mashiach comes. Why? Because not everybody's gonna be saved. It says you have to have zechut to do teshuva. At the end of times, you have to have zechut. You have to have merit to do teshuva at the end of times. You have to have merit. So, think about it this way: I had two to three people come to my office every week. 15 years, let's just make the numbers easy: 10 years. And let's make the numbers easy: one person a week, not three, one person a week, every week, for 10 years. How many is that? 520. No, come on. No, come on. You guys are sleeping. It's only midnight! One person a week, 52 weeks a year, 52 times 10. You add a zero to the 52 and...

3:59520, good answer. Okay, so 520. That means you had with your beer and your hat in your tzedakah box, 520 chances to tell me, Mister Reuven, you're married to a goya. Oh, Mister Reuven. Shabbat. It's the electric outlet. It's the electric outlet, Mister Reuven. See this, Mister Reuven. You're eating that kosher, run, do something even though you get this. Like, I run, but tell me something 520 times. When are you going to tell me when? When is it going to work? When is it going to work? If you had 15 years and it was two to three people a week, not one person a week, that obviously means that the 520 is a low estimate. But even with 520, if you didn't do it after 500 times, when are you going to do it? When is this system going to work? When? The slowest system. One day he's going to realize it. When is it going to work? That's the mentality. He's going to realize it on his own. When is he going to realize it? When? That's why I say they don't care about you. They don't care about me. They care about money. It's the bottom line. I'm telling you this. There's someone that's in it, someone that was out of it. I see it. It's just the reality. It doesn't mean everyone. It doesn't mean they're all bad. But, remember, we have to remain vigilant and discerning. We have to ensure that our contributions and efforts truly serve the greater good of Am Yisrael. It's crucial to understand and act with clarity in our community responsibilities.

5:22We all have to be real. We all have to just see things as they are. You give someone tzedakah, double-check. Double-check. Where's the money going? Is it going to expand his kitchen or is it going to help Am Yisrael? Mazal tov, you want to expand the kitchen? Fine. I just don't want to pay for it. You want an extension to your house? Mazal tov, enjoy. I don't want to pay for it though. Enjoy. I don't want to pay for it, though. I want to help people do teshuvah. I want to get Hashem's little children that are running into sockets, that put their fingers into the sockets, put their entire bodies into the electric socket. I want to take them out and return them to Hashem. Here, Hashem. He's a little electrocuted, but here... It's Your job now. It's Your... I took him out of the socket. He's a little burnt. His hair is a little off. He's got a few scars, but he's here. Here. Good luck. I brought him back. I did my job. After that, it's Hashem's job. But to pay for his kitchen, to pay for the extension, to pay for the new car, for the third car, for the fourth car, for the fifth car, and for the extended beard, I'm not paying. It's not my job. You want to do it? Mabrouk. Enjoy. No problem. I have nothing against rich people. I used to be one of them. Nothing against them. I just don't want to pay for it. You understand? Because that's, according to this Mishnah, I don't get sechar for that. I don't get sechar. I don't get any reward for making people rich. Nothing.

6:46Before you guys give us the car, ask yourself a question: What's the purpose? What's the point of this car? Where is it going? Why am I giving it? And, last but not least, ask yourself, "Did I achieve my mission in these next three weeks when I arrive at Beit HaMikdash? Am I supposed to cry? Am I crying, or am I looking at the guy that's crying and asking, 'Why is he crying?'?" Baruch Hashem le'olam. Amen ve'amen.
