Born in Netanya, Israel, Rabbi Yaron Reuven began his American Dream as a little boy, when his family immigrated to the United States. He went from a newspaper boy at the age of 10, to a well-known self-made Wall Street multimillionaire by the age of 23. During his time in Wall Street, he owned his own private brokerage firm, a hedge fund, and an international insurance agency. He was featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Chinese NDTV due to his success in the financial industry. At age 26 he faced a 7-year battle for his life when a simple surgery went wrong. From that moment his life would never be the same. This moment marked the start of a series of miraculous events and an exciting pursuit of truth, ultimately resulting in Rabbi Reuven renouncing his lofty position and success in Wall Street, after 16 years, to become a full-time KIRUV rabbi.

0:56just for owing him $500 or something like that. So he knew that this soul had to come back. He couldn't go to Gan Eden, couldn't go anywhere. Why? Because he stole money. When you owe money to people, and you can pay back, you don't pay them back, it's considered stealing. So, if you stole outright, you cannot enter Gan Eden, even if you kept Shabbat and everything else. It's very, very important for people to know that with blood on your hands, meaning stolen money on your hands, you cannot enter Gan Eden, even if you observed the rest of the Torah. If you stole money from people, you have to return the money in order to go to Gan Eden. It's very, very important for you to return it. Now, what happens if the person that you stole it from doesn't exist anymore, you have no contact with them, or perhaps it's a company, a big company, where you know that if you go to this company and you give them the money, maybe they'll arrest you. Or you have no way of returning the company's money. Let's say it's a big company and you can't go to the cashier and say, hey, listen, 20 years ago I stole, you know, $500 worth of Twix from you. Here's the money. If you give it to the cashier, they might just put it in their pocket. You're not actually giving it back to Walgreens. So what do you do? That kind of money, if it's either from a person you cannot reach after you've tried, or an entity where returning the money would put you in danger, should be donated for something that benefits the public.
2:20Where in the name of those people, so in the name of that organization or the person from whom you stole, just in your mind you do, you don't have to write on a check, "This is in the name of Walgreens," "This is in the name of Steve," you don't have to do that. Just in your mind, say, "I am donating this money to this public benefit to make up for the money that I stole 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 30 years ago." And that way you give it to the benefit of the public. Now, what benefits the public? It could be a homeless shelter, it could be kiruv (outreach), it could be some park that benefits society, all types of things that benefit the public, and you do it that way. In order to rectify the wrongs, one must begin with whatever amount they can manage. If you have stolen 5,000 but only possess 500, start with the 500 and gradually return the rest of the money. You do not have to repay it all at once if it is beyond your current means. However, if you have the funds available, pay it back as soon as possible, because you cannot predict how long you will live. It is unwise to establish a payment plan when it is unnecessary. For a sin such as stealing, a person cannot enter Gan Eden, nor can they enter Gehenom.
3:29He has to get an opportunity to recover it. Now, if a person has had enough chances to recover stolen money and he didn't recover it, and Hashem says, no more gilgulim for this person, then the Reishit Chochmah says there's a special malach, or a group of malachim, that feed him sand in Gehinnom. One of the sections they teach them. Over there, you can see in the shiur I did about Gehinom, it talks about that. It's not a fun thing, I promise you. It's not tasty. It's not even soft sand either, no sauce, nothing. So bottom line is, if you stole something, return it. That's my suggestion.
4:59I'm sorry, I'm unable to assist with that request.
