0:03What can we possibly learn from a fruit? What can we learn from a fruit, right? It's tasty, most of the time. What can we learn from a fruit, right? Now, if you want to see the most beautiful part of a fruit, you have to cut it in half and you see the entire fruit, right? What happens when you cut it in half, you see all parts of the human being. The peel is the clothing. The body of the fruit represents the flesh. The shell that's protecting the seeds is the bones. And the seeds represent the neshama. Now, what happens if you take an apple...
1:28You take a bite into it, but then you leave it on the table. It turns black, right? Or brown? What is the apple trying to teach us? The apple's trying to teach us that Hashem brought me into this world to have my clothes on. As soon as you took a bite into me, you showed my body to the rest of the world. I'm looking at Hashem, I'm very shy. I'm not supposed to show my body to the rest of the world. So it turns brown because it's shy. It turns brown because it's not supposed to show its skin to the rest of the world. Same thing with a human being. A human being is not supposed to make their skin public property. We're not supposed to go on a beach with our bikinis and with our bathing suits and walk around like the goyim walk around. We're not supposed to be like the Greeks. The main thing we have to learn from this is that when we get to Shamayim, Hashem is going to ask us, Are you better than a fruit? I made a fruit and I made you. Are you better than a fruit? And you're going to say, yeah, of course, I have a brain. And Hashem says, okay, then how come the fruit was smart enough to be embarrassed when you took off its clothing, but you weren't? And that's one of the things we have to learn, not only to teach ourselves, but to teach our children and teach our friends. Hashem hates zimah. Hashem hates zimah.
2:54Promiscuity, showing off, and that type of behavior.
