You Are Obligated To Do Kiruv +Miracle Story At The End (only 22 minutes)

1:42This is in, for anyone who wants to check, chapter 11, verse 1. Not hard to find. 11:1. After Hashem burned all of them, Moshe complained. Moshe complained. Moshe is saying to Hashem, why have you done evil by your servant? Why have I not found favor in your eyes that you place the burden of this entire people upon me? Meaning, you killed all the other people. Now everything is on my head. I have no one to help me. Did I conceive this entire people, or did I give birth to it, that you say to me, carry them in your bosom? They're not my children; they're your children. You're dropping them all on my head. I have nobody to help me.

2:44I alone cannot carry this entire nation, for it is too heavy for me. And if this is how You deal with me, then kill me now, if I have found favor in Your eyes, and let me not see my evil. Meaning, I can't handle this people. It's too much for me. And I'd rather You kill me than me hurting Your nation. Not kill me because I don't want to do what You say. It's your holy people. I can't lead them. I can't lead them by myself. Moshe Rabbeinu says, I can't lead them by myself. He says, I'm better off dying. Better off killing me than me doing it by myself. So Hashem says, okay, okay. Hashem said to Moshe, gather to me 70 men from the elders of Israel whom you know to be the elders of the people. So here, almost done. Hashem is telling Moshe Rabbeinu to build the first Sanhedrin. Why the first Sanhedrin? Because the previous ones that we had, Hashem killed all of them.

4:02Hashem is specifically telling him, gather for Me 70 men from the elders whom you know to be the elders. What do you mean by "you know"? Not the oldest people, but those whom you know to be righteous. You know they are going to rebuke. You know they are going to tell people the truth. Not like the fakers we have. We don't need the fakers. Fakers, Hashem doesn't want. He doesn't want fakers. We have enough fakers in the world. And this is one of the things we have to put into perspective. The Gemara says, if someone knows of somebody else's sin and knows they are sinning but doesn't want to tell them anything... And you have the connection. Not that you just know this guy exists in the world. You know, what's his name? Zuckerberg? Zuckerberg exists, but you have no connection to him. I'm not talking about that. Somebody connected to you, your family, your friend, somebody. And you never take the opportunity to tell them the truth, tell them Torah.

5:14And you had the ability to do it, but you didn't do it. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, who compiled the Mishnah, says that you take on the sin. That's how serious it is. It's a big responsibility to be Jewish. That's why I keep telling people who want to convert or want to embrace Judaism that it's not easy being Jewish. You have a significant responsibility. But if you take the responsibility and you fulfill it, you have endless reward. It's worth it. In today's generation, we have too many people focusing on small things. There was a story that was just published about Bill Gates. Bill Gates decided that he wants to donate, I think it was around 100,000 chickens. to a poor country. It's either 100,000 chickens or a million chickens to a poor country. He said it's better to donate all these chickens than to give them computers, because with chickens, at least they can eat or maybe they can have eggs and make money. That was his logic. He chose Bolivia. The Bolivian president rejected the idea.

6:40Even though they have 40% poverty in Bolivia, he rejected the president. So there are two sides to this coin. On one hand, the Bolivian president has so much ga'ava, so much arrogance. He says, "Nah, we're fine. We don't need anybody's donations. We'll manage." Sometimes someone has so much pride, even if you want to help them, they don't want to accept it. Why? Because if you give them a donation, that means we're poor. And chas v'shalom, the world will think we're poor. What do you mean? It's public knowledge that 40% of the country is below the poverty line. Do you think you're the only one that knows it? It's public knowledge. Sometimes when someone has so much pride, they don't see reality. That's the problem here. And on the other side, Bill Gates made a mistake. He picked the wrong country. Why? Because Bolivia happens to produce about 100 million chickens per year. They have a lot of chickens. They don't need your million chickens or 100,000 chickens. But this is what's happening in the world today. A lot of people want to give Hashem what He has a lot of.

8:02So people, they say, oh, let me donate to Seudah Shlishit at the Beit Knesset. Hashem has millions of them up there. Let me donate to put a nice plaque in the Beit Knesset. He has another hundred million of them up there also. Let me donate a few more sefarim that no one's going to read at the Beit Knesset. Okay, He has a lot of those also. Everyone wants to give for what Hashem has a surplus of. Why don't you give Him some Jews? The yetzer hara doesn't allow it. Someone has to have zechut to do kiruv. You have to have zechut to give tzedakah. But from learning this, that's how we beat it. That's how we beat it. The only way to beat the yetzer hara, as we said in the beginning, is a shiur. It's Torah. What's the shiur? It's not math. It's not history. It's Torah. Hashem has Seudat Shlishit and Batei Knesset already. He has millions and millions of people every week. They donate for Seudat Shlishit. He has a million people donating a few Siddurim, because the old ones are not fashionable anymore. He has those too. Batei Knesset in Brooklyn, in every corner there's three. How they fit three in every corner, I don't know, but there's three in every corner. There's no surplus of Batei Knesset.

9:26Give him some Jews. Support Talmidei Chachamim, who are barely surviving. They get $500 a month from a kollel. Support the Torah itself. Sifrei Torah, Baruch Hashem, we had one; we had some money, and we got one written. But if I knew what I know today... Never, never, never would I put the money towards a Sefer Torah. But avrechim, the amount of money I spend on a Sefer Torah, I could support 10 avrechim for a couple of years, a few years. But people, no, no, everyone has money, they want a Sefer Torah, $50,000, $60,000. Okay, the Beit Knesset has 30 of them, they can't use 30. When do they use 30? On Simchat Torah, everyone runs around with the sefer. But reading it, you can't read 30. At most, use three a week, which means that your Sefer Torah, at best, is read once a year. Once a year, you spend 60,000, 100,000, or 200,000 on a Sefer Torah, and once a year someone's going to read it.

10:34Instead of the avrech who's learning from morning to night, instead of the kiruv that's saving souls, someone's going to send their kids to yeshiva instead of the public school. Hashem has many of those already. We have to investigate. And that's the main thing that I tell everyone. Everyone needs to understand. It's not a nice thing to do. It's an obligation. It's mamash an obligation for every Jew to do kiruv. It's an obligation for every Jew to tell the truth. Because right now, we learn from this parashah that Hashem doesn't like fake rabbis. He doesn't like fake people. We learn from here that fake rabbis, the fake leaders, they died first.

11:36Next, after that happened, Moshe Rabbeinu said, "I can't do it by myself. I can't do it by myself." That's why I tell people all the time, listen, Rabbi Mizrachi has been doing this for 22 years. I'm going to finish with this point. He's been doing it for 22 years, doing kiruv. He's helping people. There are a couple of other good rabbis out there doing kiruv, but let's say 250,000 people did teshuva in the last 20 years. Let's say, 250,000 people from Rabbi Mizrachi, and a couple of other rabbis, let's say over 20 years, a million people did teshuva. You still have 15 million more. And that's just Am Yisrael; that's not including the rest of the righteous people within the nations. Not everyone's wicked. There's plenty of righteous people. Which means that even if you had 10 Rabbi Mizrahis... Still not enough, a hundred rabbis is still not enough. Why? Because we have a lot of people; we have a lot of work to do. That's what we're saying. I can't do it by myself. Everyone must take on kiruv—outreach—every day, for five minutes a day. If you spend any time with people, you can do kiruv. If you spend time on the internet, and you have a profile on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram....

12:58WhatsApp, I don't know, countless other types of social media out there. Take five minutes a day; get a YouTube video or a Torah Anytime video, which is even better because there's no Yetzer Hara over there. Go to Torah Anytime, take one of the lectures that you like—this lecture or a different one—and take the clip and send it to people. Five minutes a day. Five minutes. Send it to people. Get them to discover the truth. Five minutes a day. If you can do more than five minutes, do more than five minutes. Torah, if it's relevant to them, yes. If it's relevant to them, sure. The seven laws of Noach, if they're looking to discover Judaism, then yes. But if it's unsolicited completely, you can just send them the seven laws of Noach. But if they're in the process of converting, you're allowed to give them everything. Either way, focus on doing kiruv at least five minutes a day. At least five minutes a day. You're on the internet already? It takes 24 hours, but just take five minutes and do kiruv. You're not on the internet? Fine, you go to work. You're in the public. You go to a store. You go buy cars, you go buy bagels. You never know what's going to happen. Baruch Hashem, I had a guy that sold me a car a year, year and a half ago.

14:16A year and a half ago, a nice guy I talked to him, found out, okay, he's not keeping Shabbat. So, I'm in the process of buying a car, but I don't really care about the car. So, I start talking about a simcha I just got a call, was it Friday afternoon? "Hey, you know what? I just wanted to let you know..." I told my company that either they fire me, or I don't work on Shabbat anymore. And for the last couple of weeks, two, three weeks, I've been keeping Shabbat. The whole car was worth it just for this call. Just for this call. For what? How much time did I spend with him? Once people know the price, they do it. When Moshe Rabbeinu complained to Hashem, "I don't have anybody to help me," Hashem sent him help. He sent him help. You need help, you need finances, you need a zivug, you need miracles, anything you need, you spend some time telling people the truth, you'll get whatever you want. There's no question about it. Anything you want, I always tell people, if you want to see miracles, do kiruv.

15:32With its refuah, you need health, you need money, you need anything you need in life. Spend time worrying about Hashem's children because it doesn't pay to be fake, especially not a fake rabbi. So I honestly don't understand what Torah they're learning. When they don't tell people the truth, I don't understand what they're doing. It doesn't pay to be fake. Hashem is telling you specifically in this parasha, and in practically half the Torah, that He hates them. He hates fake people. It doesn't pay to be fake. All the money in the world is not worth being fake for one minute. To give you an example of a miracle of how significant Kiruv is to Hashem, I'll give you another real-life story. There's a lot more to this parashah, but we'll finish with this point because I think we've hit the core of what we wanted to cover today. I told you in the book of Yirmiyahu, Hashem said, if you do teshuva, you'll stand next to Me. Meaning, it's the first part of the verse. You do teshuva, and we always accept you, but not accept you like a second-rate citizen. Where, ah, yeah, he's a baal teshuva. He's not a frum from birth, like they call it—religious since he was born. Oh, no, he's just a convert. Or frum. No, Hashem says...

16:56You do teshuva, you convert, you stand right next to me. Right next to me. Not in the second room. Right next to me. Next to me you'll stand. I'll never even look at your past. You do full teshuva. Legit. 100%. No, not half Shabbat. No eating kosher only at home, but you're eating tuna at a diner. That's not kosher. No. 100%. Genuine? You'll be next to me. That's the first part. The second part of the verse says... But if you help somebody do teshuva, you'll be like My mouth. Chazal ask, what does it mean you'll be like My mouth? Hashem responds, "I created the heaven and the earth, and I can bring back the dead. You'll be able to do the same." Someone I know very, very closely, About a month ago, they took their two-year-old child to a doctor. The child was born with fluid in their ear. And the doctor said when he was born, "Listen, if it doesn't go away, you're going to have to have surgery. Sometimes it goes away, though. It goes away naturally as they grow, especially during the first couple of years. But if not, you're going to have to have surgery." I didn't know.

18:23Parents are very worried. Two years have passed. They go to the doctor. He says, "I'm sorry to tell you, the child's not developing the right way. That's why it took him longer to walk, longer to develop." Very, very cute kid, by the way. But the water's still there and he has to have a surgery. New parents find that the two-year-old needs to have a surgery. Even experienced parents find it devastating when their two-year-old needs to have surgery. It doesn't matter what kind of surgery it is; it could even be a minor surgery on a nail. They're devastated. To have a surgery in their head? You might as well give them a heart attack. Who needs this problem? The father is a tzaddik. He doesn't say anything. He trusts in Hashem. What do you do? Fulfill this verse. What do you say? What do you do? They're devastated. To have surgery on their head? You might as well give them a heart attack. Who needs this problem? The father is a tzaddik and doesn't say anything. He trusts in Hashem. What do you do? Fulfill this verse. What do you say? What do you do? Start crying to Hashem? No. Hashem said, move forward. Trust me. So, what do you do? I announced about two, three weeks ago, we're coming out with the CDs. First time coming out with CDs. Baruch Hashem, we have three to four hundred hours worth of Torah online. So we said, let's make our first CD. A CD is very good. It helps people listen to Torah in the car. It helps people do teshuva. It's also very good for people that are not going to watch YouTube, but they'll see a CD at some store somewhere.

19:48So I said, listen, we have 15 million people. We can't start off small. Can't start off with 100 CDs. So I said, you know what? We're going to raise money to at least start off with 25,000 CDs. Each CD is a dollar. $25,000 for 25,000 CDs. B'ezrat Hashem, 25,000 souls we save. Each CD has 30 hours of Torah on it. 30 hours of Torah. Short clips of 15 minutes. Shiurim of 2 hours. It's going to save a life. It's going to save a soul. I've seen it already, so it's the same thing. I announce it online. He's one of the first to contact me. He goes, yes, listen, I can't miss this opportunity. Sponsoring a thousand CDs. Very exciting. Baruch Hashem. But I don't think much of it. I just think, Baruch Hashem, I'm not a tzadik in the world. Donating a thousand dollars, a thousand CDs. We're going to save another thousand people. Thursday,

20:48It's D-Day. Thursday just passed. They show up to the doctor. The doctor says it's the last check before the surgery. It's the final check. The doctor says, okay, let's do the CT scan. He takes the little boy for the CT scan. He looks at it, then looks at the boy. He examines it again and calls in his associate. And he looks at the boy again. He's like, "Where's the kid? Where's the little boy?" She goes, "What do you mean? This is my son, my only two-year-old son." He goes, "No, no, no. It's not the same kid. It's not the same boy." She goes, "What do you mean?" He said, "It's my son." He goes, "Well, it's not the same head. There's nothing here. There's not even a mark that anything ever happened." He says, "The kid is complete." ...nothing. He brings his partner, one of the associates, and the guy says, "Why are you wasting my time? Let the kid go home. There's nothing to do here." When Hashem said, "You spend time on My kids, you worry about My children, I will worry about your children." A real-life miracle from Hashem. I found out it happened Thursday; I found out Friday.

22:11If that's not a miracle, what else do you want? This is the type of stuff that happens every day. You just have to pay attention to it. It's mamash (truly), Hashem is giving us an opportunity to collect an endless fortune. Do kiruv (outreach), learn Torah, do genuine teshuva (repentance), build emunah (faith), connect to Hashem. You have eternity that's only good. The opposite? Watch the Wasting Seeds show, you'll find out. Any questions? Baruch Adonai Le'olam. Amen and Amen.
