A Must Watch Emergency Lecture About The Current Situation

Good evening, everyone. This lecture was supposed to be back in the synagogue in Queens, but due to the situation with the riots and the curfew, and perhaps I would have to go also next week to Eretz Yisrael for a few weeks, I decided that there's no point of making the lecture. It's maybe premature. We continue to do it online, and I really, like, I ask everybody, please share, share the lectures. Make sure that not just that you watch it, share it with everyone else, that you know that other people will be able to also get the chizuk that this lecture gives. This lecture will be, B'ezrat Hashem, le'zivu gagun, b'meharat unomi Eliyana Bat Sarah. Olehaya Rachel bat Sarah. Both of them should have a good soulmate fast, B'ezrat Hashem, also to easy delivery. And refuah shlema leDina bat Sarah. And also leZivug of Rivka bat Gittel Leah, you know, and leAvdi leElohim Ishmat Moshe David ben Gittel Leah. And, "B'ezrat Hashem, lerfuata nefesh v'aguf ofuvim b'eniay elyonim asim chachana bat shifra samara aviva bat shifra, u'vachaya bat samara aviva shifra bat siviah yakovu venbenaika." As we all know, close to the end of the month of February, when I was giving a series of lectures, about what's going to happen. Nothing happened yet in America. They started to have rumors about the viruses in China, but we actually spoke about 10 days before the virus was found for the first time in China about a possibility that something like this would happen. Once the virus came out, I advised everyone to stay stock their houses with food, with rice, tuna cans, whatever they can, soap, shampoos, all these things that people need for a quarantine that may take time. I actually said also, if you remember, that things like these very easily go out of control and it's very possible that there will be riots here on the street. Riots on the street. As we all see right now, there are riots on the street. I basically, when I spoke about riots, I was thinking about people would wait 10 hours for food on supermarkets, people would fight for food, and people would be hungry and they're gonna start robbing stores. I did have in mind that police brutality that every once in a while you hear that some white policeman is killing brutally a black person, and that ignites millions of black people in this country. And in every ethnic, there's good and bad people, as you know. Some black people are very nice people, very good people, God-fearing people. And some of them are extremely dangerous and behave horrible, as we see right now that they're robbing the stores, thousands of them in every store. I don't understand what's the connection between racism of some policemen here and there to go and rob stores. Too wrong doesn't make it right, you know. But obviously, people that are thieves and people that are murderers and people that are lowlife They're actually looking for reasons to act on their desires and on bad traits. As we can see now, right now, the situation is that they're robbing every fancy store. They're going to Gucci and all these fancy stores, jewelry stores. I said to people back then that people that can have guns and weapons in their homes to protect their house they should have it. I mean, yes, we are in the hand of Hashem 100%. In the end, who's going to live and who's going to die is 100% the decision of Hashem. But just like in everything else in life, we have an obligation to do the maximum we can and the efforts that we can. Now, if we were in a very, very high level of Emunah, of faith in God, we didn't have to do that much. Why? Because we will rely on Him in everything, in making a living, in finding soulmates to our children, we would not kill ourselves with work, and we will never be worried, and everything will be very, very peaceful and a peace of mind, and no one will ever steal, and no one will ever fight with his competition, and there will be no lawsuits, and everyone will trust Hashem 100%, then of course everything I say right now completely you can disregard it. If you're in that level of faith, that you don't have to make any efforts and you never worry, and you never worry about if you marry your children and to whom, and if you're going to lose your job or not, or things like that, you never worry, then this lecture, most of it, and those advices I'm about to give are not really relevant to you. You can sit and learn Torah. Whatever Hashem, whatever miracles G-d did to you until now, He will probably continue to do to you. Even though, even righteous people sometimes get damaged when it's a very serious judgment situation in the world. You know, it is written in the Gemara, once Satan gets permission to destroy the town, he does not differentiate between righteous and wicked anymore. Meaning the righteous people can get affected by the disaster of the place. Even now, take the most righteous people. In this town, there's a lot of righteous people. In Lakewood, there's a lot of righteous people. In Brooklyn, there's a lot of righteous people. There's a lot of righteous people. The righteous people suffer now. They also have limitation. They also lack at home. Some of them, their Parnassa, whoever was supporting them, now cannot support. Their yeshivot are closed, they have to learn from computer. That's a suffer for them. There's nothing like learning with your chavrutah, sitting together in yeshiva for all day and, and, and sink into the Gemara. And that's heaven on this world. And now you have to do it through computer. It's not as comfortable. Not all of them even have computers. Some of them don't have access to any technology. You know, some righteous people even were sick. There were some of them ended up in hospital and all these So we see that even very righteous people suffer from this crisis. We have a combination right now of a few problems. One problem is the virus who does not want to go anywhere. Yes, the situation looks like it became a lot better. Less people are dying in America, less people are dying in New York, much less people dying in Israel, but Just when it looked like business is going back to usual in Israel, it started again. More than 80 people got it yesterday, and the day before, 60-something. And who knows what number they will have tomorrow. And already hundreds of hundreds of students went into quarantine again. You don't know, is this virus going to go away or it's going to remain forever? That's the question. If you remember when I gave the lecture about SARS, I spoke about SARS. This is, this is what this lecture was about, that it can happen again. And I was asking how the SARS disappeared. If it transferred by the air from person to person, it would obviously supposed to transfer forever. Then we were thinking, since the doctors and the experts says that this virus cannot resist high heat, and once we go into 80s and 90s and 100 degrees, it may kill the virus in the air and slow the spread of the virus, which seems that there is truth in it. There's— in hot places there's less cases, as we can see. However, it's no guarantee. There's no 100% guarantee, and we see that in Israel now, it's very hot now, As we just started June, usually June, July, and August are the hottest months. It can go easily every day to the 90s, and people are still getting it. Here you go, people are getting it, and it seems now there is a second wave, a second wave in the country. A country like Israel cannot survive months without businesses. All the businesses were closed for more than 2 months. Now they're trying to reopen. It's still did not open everything. They didn't open catering halls, they didn't open the sports events. So they are slowly, slowly opening every week a little more, but now it may turn 180 degrees and start closing again. It's very interesting because a person right now does not know what's going to be with him in the next hour. Hashem made the world now in such panic that you don't really know what can happen to you in the next hour. I have a flight for next week. I don't even know, will I have to go to quarantine, will I not, will they make the rules stricter or make it more lenient. Nobody knows. The travel agents don't know, the people of Israel don't know, nobody really knows. The government themselves are confused. Here in America, it's even worse. Most places are still closed. People that had weddings planned in advance for 2, 3, 4 months in advance, everything is getting cancelled. People getting married with a small group of people in their homes or in the backyard. It's a situation we've never actually been used to. We never had such thing. Nobody in this generation, nobody remembers days like these. Now we have a new problem. The new problem with these riots that usually one or two riots can turn into hundreds and can turn into massive amount and can get millions of people to the street and can destroy the entire country. As you see, some of these people who riot, not all but some, are very violent. They have no fear from police. They confront the police face to face. With weapons, and who knows where it can end. It's another case or two that the police would shoot some other minorities and stuff, it can ignite this whole country completely on fire. All of this is really introduction to the main problem that usually when things like this happen, the ones that will always pay the price, unfortunately, throughout history are the Jews. For whatever reason, it seems that the Black people, they don't really like the Jews here in New York so much. They attack synagogues, they attack places. There's a lot of very bad comments online on social media. It's very interesting because nobody really took care of the Blacks more than the Jews. All the socialist Jews, all these Democrats for throughout the years here in America, and nobody fought for them more for their rights and this. And in the end, the Blacks should have actually been the best friends of the Jews because they both were oppressed people. They always suffered throughout history, and all of a sudden, for whatever reason, this is the situation. It's very sad to see it. From what I've seen, people sending me messages that all kinds of people are posting. Of course, we're not saying everyone is like this. Many— I said it in the beginning of this speech— we can never generalize about any ethnic or any group. In every place there's good people and bad people, and everyone who thinks that all people are bad because they just saw 100 or 200 bad people, that's stupidity. Just the same way you have Jews that are good and Jews that are not good, Same thing in Puerto Ricans, same thing Blacks, same thing the white Gentiles. Every place you go, same thing by Arabs, by Muslims. Some people are very good with good heart and good values, and some people are monsters. What can you do? But monsters are everywhere. The problem is when all the monsters get confidence to go to the street and confront the police and going to war. Things escalate and things can actually lose control. How much police you have in this country? You don't have enough police to fight 100 million people on the streets, right? So every depressed person in this country will join the party, you know. As you can see now, it's not only the angry black people because a black person was murdered by a policeman. Now it's all kinds of other people who join the riots and the demonstrations everywhere, and usually, unfortunately, this is how it always ends. They will begin to attack the Jewish people. Someone told me from Queens today that they plan a big demonstration or riots today in Queens, in Main Street, and people have to go and move their cars and drive it away and walk a mile back to their homes, that the car would not be in the area of the riots. Because they can just burn your car. My advice, besides crying to Hashem now, obviously every day seriously from a broken heart for our safety first, before we talk about money and other issues and even health issues, first to our life safety. We have to cry to Hashem for the safety of our life and our family's life. That's one thing. Second, we have to do everything we can to prevent the damage. For instance, if you live in Jewish areas, if you have a driveway and you normally park your cars outside, park the cars inside, clear room in the garage, make sure the cars will be inside. Why? All it takes is one crazy one with a torch that comes and spills something on a car and light it. It's not safe now in these days to go to some areas, especially where the riots take place with the yarmulke. It would attract these antisemites to come and hurt you. So put some kind of a hat or baseball hat or I don't know what, that people will not be able to detect that you're Jewish because you're putting yourself in a place of danger. If you have 10,000 people shouting and screaming, all you need is 100 of them to be anti-Semite Nazis and your life is in serious danger. And the Gemara says a person should stay away from danger, not put himself in a place of danger. The problem is that no matter how much you try to run away from problem, within minutes where you're going to be on the street, in a second they can just show up. Obviously we are not stupid, we know that there is someone behind these riots. It's not possible that thousands of people knows to come and target one store at the same time. That's organized crime. Someone is behind it. Obviously social media is the way of communication that they all gather together and know where they're going to attack. That's why they're not afraid because when 1,000 people come to a store in one shot, to a Target store in one shot, They know what the police can do against it, how many policemen they can send, you know. And usually from experience, when riots like this begin, if you don't defeat it strongly in the first day or two, it may take months now. And it can be a war here on the street, and it can definitely lead to civil war. This country already had problems in the past. Now it can lead to a serious civil war. If there's gonna be a civil war here, I don't have to tell you what is it gonna do to the economy, to the businesses. As I advised a year ago, a year and a half ago even, I told everyone who can afford to buy a place in Israel, then I say it's the time to do it. We don't know if we have to move to Israel or not, but at least now we know we have a place there. House, an apartment, you don't have enough money, buy in a non-expensive area. Israel has obviously big differences between the prices of the homes in the heart of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv to the suburbs. In the suburbs, you can still buy apartments for $300,000. It's still possible. Yes, it's nothing fancy, it's not such great areas, But at least it's a place to hide. If we're gonna have to run, where are you gonna go? Live in a hotel? If you have families and they have big homes and you'll be able to, in case of trouble, to go there, okay, that's also a very good option. We don't really know. We don't know how it's gonna end. It's very, very much possible that in the next few weeks we will have to get up and run out of here. I'm not I'm not trying to scare anyone, believe me, it's the last thing I want to do. I'm just using common sense and being realistic. Unfortunately, unfortunately, I would say again, unfortunately, I was right about everything I said. I wish I was wrong about everything. I pray to Hashem to be wrong. I don't want to be right. The first one who pays the price is all of us. Money, the organization, the donations, the things that we used to do on a daily basis. There's not that much we can do right now. A lot of the things are shut down. Everybody is suffering. The rich people suffer, poor suffer. People don't know what's going to be with their businesses. You know, I mean, 2 months ago I said that People that are doctors and pharmacists, their businesses had a lot of business. People that own food stores, you know, people stored their house so they bought a lot of food. In Israel, they reported that the supermarket had an increase of 23% in their net profit last month. Why? People buy a lot of food and when they sit home all day, they eat double and triple, so they need more food. The point is that I just found out that pharmacies not necessarily had a good month because a friend of mine that owns a pharmacy told me, I had a lot of demand but no merchandise. We could not get all the vitamins, vitamin C and zinc, all the things that people wanted now, all kinds of sanitizer. None of that, you couldn't get it. There's nothing, nothing you can get. So people came to buy, but we keep saying, out of stock, out of stock. So basically, we had a horrible time. So even the pharmacies, some of them suffered. The only pharmacies who made business is those who had huge stocks in advance for whatever reason. Anyway, Rabotai, one way or the other, we won't be able to run away from Hashem. Everything that is happening, for one second we should never ever forget that. If we let the Satan numb us and put us to sleep and confuse us in such a way that we even for one hour forget that everything that happens right now is God's pulling the string, that we without realizing we can become infidels. This is heresy. We have to remember every second it's all from Hashem. They just say that one kid, 18 years old, from Brooklyn now is missing. That's from Hashem. Two people died today. It's from Hashem. All these things that happen, riots now, attacking a synagogue in Los Angeles. There was one brutal attack in a synagogue, Sephardi Moroccan synagogue of Montreal. They actually damaged the Torah scrolls over there. One attack after the the other, one punishment after the other we are getting, and somehow we are not waking up. We are still stubborn. The Torah says, stiff-necked nation, stubborn. Instead of fulfilling the obligation from the Gemara, the Gemara says, if a person sees that he is surim baim halav, Suffering are coming to a person, "Yefashfesh bema'asav." Check what you are doing wrong. Begin to analyze your day starting with what time you're waking up. How you do Netilat Yadayim? How you do Gerkut Hashachar? How you get dressed? What are you wearing? You dress like a Jew or you dress like a non-Jew? You dress in respectable clothes or you respect in ripped horrible clothes like fashion out there. How do you pray? What time you pray? What synagogue you're praying in? Now when there's no synagogue in most places, even when you pray alone, with what intention you pray? How you break your heart in front of Hashem? You have to check the amount of charity you give. How much confidence you have in Hashem? In days like this, we should give more charity. People that don't have, they don't have. They are dismissed. They don't have to give. You don't have to sell your clothes to give charity. But those who have from the good days, many, many millions invested here and there and in this account and in that account, use it for your own protection. Use it for your children's protection. Use it to turn your future better than what it's supposed to be in a time of tragedies, because the power of charity is more than anything else. Nothing else that the Gemara says that it can save from a decree of death. When the death was decreed and sealed and the note was given to the angel of death by Hashem and there is a specific date for the death of one individual, basically by now the only one thing that can save him right now is giving a lot of charity. I know one friend of mine that his business was not doing good for the past few months, but he got Corona. He got Corona and he almost died. I remember one conversation I had with him, he just could not say two words. He was choking, connecting to oxygen, all these things. He barely made it. And I told him, just, I said, just hear me out. We don't know what's the decree. We don't know. Have to be realistic. What can save you right now more than the doctors in there or the— is what? It's sure Hashem. I trust only in you. And you give a lot. "Rayetz," which house will be burned, which house will not be burned, which car will be burned, which person will be killed. It's all Hashem's decision. By the way, it was all made in last Rosh Hashanah. In last Rosh Hashanah, obviously Hashem was in the highest level of anger more than the last few decades. There's no question about it. This year is one curse after the other, one tragedy after the other. Personal tragedies and general tragedies to the Jewish people, to America, to Israel, to many other countries. Massive amount of tragedies, suffering, financial crisis, war, fear. Panic, depression, divorce epidemic. You know how many people waiting online now to get divorced? So far the, the bédouins are closed. As soon as they open up, I'm telling you, it's going to be a huge line. Why? 2, 3 months together fighting, depression, anger. Everybody takes his anger on his spouse. That's what's going on. Children did not learn normally for 3 months already. Even yeshivot are closed. It's crazy what's happening here. Did we learn any lesson? Not really. Today I read that in Israel, Shavuot, we just had Shavuot, finally 2 days of heaven to learn all night Torah, to disconnect ourselves from the media and from the news. And for whatever may happen somewhere in the streets out there. And to be able to see, to learn, and to eat normally, and to rest a little bit, and to rest the mind, and to have some quality time. What happened in Israel, I just can't believe it. After all these tragedies, big walls inside some of the synagogues. One of the Hasidim, I don't want to say their name, in the middle of taking out the Torah, a bunch of bullies walked in and started a fistfight inside the synagogue. Things like this usually is the worst of the worst that you can imagine from people. People that call themselves religious to walk into a place in the middle, disrespecting the Torah, disrespecting the holiness of the shul, inside the shul to start a fistfight that the Israeli secular police had to come on Friday evening and arrested some of these Hasidim and take them to jail on Friday night, which is the second Yom Tov also. When I read something like this, how can we not cry? Then you are so disgusted from the way the world became It's not only by the goyim, it's not only by the secular people, it's not only by the liberals and the socialists and the lefties and the haters of Hashem and the haters of Torah and all these abomination people. From them, obviously, we lost hope a long, long time ago. I'm only focusing on the places that Hashem is expecting from them to do the right thing, not those that are totally lost. Those who have nice long beards and big hats and they pray and go to the mikveh every day, they learn Torah, they know the truth. Apparently, to change bad habits and horrible personality and bad traits is not so simple. As a matter of fact, it's the hardest thing that there But life has. There's no bigger challenge than to get rid of your anger and your stinginess and your jealousy and politics and selfishness and all these horrible Adramidot. Pride, ego, honor. There's a list of horrible poison that person has inside of him and if he doesn't get rid of it, you don't know what to expect. How many thousands of times I told people, don't ever be fooled by the image of a person. Because many times people told me, but he had a long beard, why are you giving the money? Because, wow, he looked like— Forget about this nonsense. The look of the outside is no longer an indication to anything. Nothing. So you cannot rely on a person's clothing or on a person's look or the size of his yarmulke. Yes, there is maybe a higher chance that this person will be more decent than people who walk without yarmulke. Maybe there is. I'm not even sure anymore. But if there is, yes, there is maybe. But how do I know? There is an exception to the rule, and apparently the exception to the rule is growing by the day. So how do you know? Where are all these fights? Where is all the politics? Where people murder each other by putting pashkevils, all these flyers with bad lashon hara and gossip and destroying the reputation of the others. It's all for honor and for money and for power. All this machlokot is what brought the tragedies on us to begin with. As soon as they open up the synagogue in Israel, not even 2, 3 days, in the middle of holiday, people would fight when the Torah is out of the ark. So I say to myself, what, how long Hashem will be able to tolerate this kind of behavior? How long? How long? Yes, people will always say, "Oh, hey, but there's a lot of chesed and people helping each other." there was always chesed. The Jewish people are merciful. They see someone in trouble, most of them would run to help, religious and even non-religious. Even among the Gentiles, there's a lot of people that have mercy and they love to help, they're very generous and they're decent. We don't know the percentage. By the Jewish people, the Gemara gives 3 signs. If you don't have it, your Jewish identity is questionable. Doesn't mean you're not Jewish, but it's questionable. What are the 3 signs? First, mercy. You have to be merciful. You see a tragedy, you see someone suffer, it has to bother you. If it doesn't bother you, you're a psychopath. Something is not right here. Second sign is shame. After class, you have to be embarrassed. If you do something wrong. You have to think 10 times before you do something that will embarrass you or will bring shame to you or to your family. So what do we see over here? Shame, busha, which by the way is the number one sign of wisdom because when Adam and Eve ate from the tree, they opened up their eyes and they realized that they are naked. So the first sign of wisdom after they ate from the tree of wisdom As soon as they got wise, they became wise, first reaction was immediately to go and cover themselves, meaning modesty. Shame, it's a sign of wisdom. Also fear. If you fear, if you look in the future, you're dealing, I'm gonna have to deal with horrible consequences. It doesn't pay to enjoy and follow my desire and now I'm here and now I'm there when I know I'm gonna suffer suffer years later on. People that are brainless, that's what they do, and that's why their life looks like a zoo. No direction, no discipline, no plan, no success in anything. Why? They live the moment like animals. Animals live the moment. A lion is hungry, he's looking to eat. That's all he cares about right now. There's no way to talk to him and say, hey, let's, you know, let's convince you not to kill I don't want to kill anyone today. It's not going to work with animals. But you see what's happening in the streets. You see in the streets how many animals are. How people run and steal. Nobody has fear, not from God, even not from the authorities. They run, Pirkei Avot say, "Yisra'el be'moram al-chut." Respect the authority, what we call police, today's FBI, government, army. Respect them because without them people would eat each other alive. This sentence is in a normal place today here in America. People don't have any fear anymore from the authorities. In their face, they break glasses and go into store and steal and go out with boxes and begin to steal from each other and they film it. Nobody is even hiding himself. His face. You will wonder, you come out of a store, someone is filming you, don't you want to cover your face? They're not even afraid that tomorrow they come to their house with facial recognition and they can look in the peephole and they can just make an arrest even a week later. They're not even afraid of it. They're not even thinking what's going to be another hour. They're not even afraid if one of the police will arrest him and put him in jail and who knows what can happen. They're not even thinking. So they're not even afraid, obviously not of Hashem, and they're not afraid of the police, not afraid of anyone. Imagine if there was no police at all, what would happen? So, you know, so shame is the second sign. So after we have mercy, merciful, and shame, and gomlei chasari, kind. Willing to help, willing to volunteer, running to help. If somebody asks you for help and you right now could not give him the help, but it bothers you, you're thinking, who should I go to to help this guy? I myself can't help him right now, but who, who can I, who can I call, who can I speak to, who can I go and meet and ask him to help him? It's none of my business. The Yetzer Hara would say, what are you pushing your nose? None of your business. Okay, it's his problem, he suffered. Worry about your life. No, no, no, that's not the Jewish way. Torah says, you see your friend has a heavy weight on his back, he can't walk, and look at him, you must, not maybe yes, maybe not, you must 1 million percent run and help. Someone is stuck with a flat tire. How you continue to drive? Someone has a problem. Someone got arrested by mistake, was standing there, police put him in. They need to release him on bail. Shabbat is in few hours. You're getting ready for Shabbat knowing somebody is locked in a cage and it doesn't bother you? Right away organized people collect money, run, release. This is the Jewish way. So after I have these three: Gomlek Hasadim, shameful, and at the same time merciful, meaning have mercy, not cruel, not brutal. When someone suffers, you have to have mercy. It has to bother you. Those are the three signs. If you let, if you take one by one today, the that those who are considered Jewish, 1, 2, 3 million, 2 million, everyone have those 3 signs? Absolutely not. Some people have no shame, some people have no mercy, some people are very selfish, they don't like to help. It bothers them to see someone helps to someone else, even someone that I don't know. It's none of your business. To see Reuven helps Shimon, it bothers him. To talk if he had to help. It bothers him to see other people give. It bothers them. So some people don't have one of the three signs, some people don't have two of them, and some people don't have any of them. Obviously, the less they have, the more questionable is their Jewish identities. Only Hashem obviously knows who is who. I said many times, many people that think they are Jewish, they're totally not Jewish. And many Gentiles who think they are 100% Gentiles, they're totally not Gentiles. Many of them are Jewish. But only Hashem really knows how many generations back we're going. And going back to what I started to explain, we have to have the ability to get up and leave. It's very difficult, as I explained, to take money out of this country. If you're a very organized person, you have all your tax returns, and you're very good with the IRS, and everything is clear, and you can prove everything— a lot of people, they pay everything is legit, their job deduct taxes, but they're not organized. It will take them a month to get the papers now and prove and all that, because if you want to send a lot of money out of this country to Israel, you're gonna need to answer a lot of questions. And they're gonna ask you, "Prove to us that it's legit, that it's that, that you don't have a shady business. Get a letter from your bank, get a letter from your accountant." And sometimes they'll even make you get a letter from the government that as far as they declare, they have no problem whatsoever and all this money is clean and nothing of this money is illegal. Then you'll be able to send the money and believe me, Knowing the bureaucracy in Israel, face some more other headaches. It's not going to be simple. Many people invested in the last 10 years in building beautiful mansions. Interest rate was low, was very easy to get loans, and people took millions of dollars loan and build themselves fancy buildings and all kinds of Sadly, the way I look at it with common sense, I don't have any prophecy, I don't have Ruach HaKodesh, in case you wonder, I assure you I don't have zero of that, nothing. However, common sense Baruch Hashem, Hashem gave me, and I always look a few steps ahead. That's my nature, always been to see something started and to see where it's gonna end. And I can tell you already that it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time until thousands of thousands of families will have to get up and leave here and will not be able to sell anything. Not their homes, not their businesses. There won't be time for that. It will be a life risk. Either they're gonna vandalize it, all these crazy people out there, the anti-Semites, they see the society and the business, that will be the first target. I already found out in Florida they robbed the jewelry store, they broke everything, stole everything, all the gold, diamonds, watches, everything. And the person who already contacted his insurance, the insurance of course knows how to collect money. When the time come to pay money, Most of the time they'll give you hard time. They won't easily give, especially when they have thousands of claims. Right away the insurance told them, "We don't cover vandalism." "What do you mean? It's a robbery. Here, it's on camera. Somebody came, broke the glass, and stole." "No, but it's in time of vandalism." Vandalism was also Kristallnacht. Remember Kristallnacht in Germany? That was right when the Holocaust started. They attacked all the Jewish property. They burned more than 1,000 synagogues. All of them were Reform synagogues because in Germany you didn't have Orthodox synagogues. Everyone became Reform over there. So they attacked all the Jewish synagogues which were all Reform. And Reform has nothing to do with Judaism. Nothing whatsoever. They don't keep one mitzvah properly. Nothing. They don't marry Jews. They don't care about anything. They don't care about Shabbat. They eat whatever they want. Nothing. There's not one mitzvah that they are pedantic about to keep it correctly. Nothing. Their conversion, bring the girl, what's your name, give me $10,000, here you're Jewish. Jewish. That's it. The one who just gave it to her, most likely himself is not a Jew. It's a big salad of— I want to call it a joke, but it's really a sad joke. But the Reform in Germany back then were obviously a thousand times better than the Reform here today in America. Nothing to compare. If you take a Reform person 70 years ago in Germany and you put him today I wouldn't be surprised if they call him modern Orthodox. I would call him probably modern Orthodox. Just today I got a picture of some idiot that calls himself modern rabbi, modern Orthodox rabbi, married to men. Death penalty, cut for the soul from the afterlife, horrible abomination, and he calls himself rabbi, this criminal. Do you even understand what's going on over here? When the Gentiles see this, when all kinds of fanatic Christians see things like this, they see these liberal Jews, they see what they do, they see how they talk in the media, they see all these greedy lawyers. When they see that, what gonna be the consequences of that? They'll come after everyone, doesn't matter, liberal, lefty, the right, they don't care. In their mind, that's why we have to attack. I saw some people put posted messages. Nobody is afraid anymore. People actually calling for attacks on Jewish property in the open with their face, face on social media. No fear whatsoever. That's the most dangerous thing when people lost their fear. And the authorities cannot even treat or handle millions of cases like this every month, it becomes a zoo, "André la Boussole." This is what it is, a total zoo. About that, again, I want to remind each one of us, even though sometimes when you look at things it looks random. It looks like these gangs and these mobs, they come and they break this store and not that store and this one and not this one and they attack Target. Why didn't they attack Walmart? Tomorrow maybe they will attack Walmart. We don't know, but everything is calculated precisely. It was all decided on Rosh Hashanah. Every one that his store was burned, it was decided on Rosh Hashanah. Everyone that his house was attacked, it was decided on Rosh Hashanah. Which shuls will be attacked by those antisemite Nazis was decided on Rosh Hashanah. Who will get Corona, it was decided on Rosh Hashanah. Who will die from Corona, it was decided on Rosh Hashanah. Once all these decisions were made, One thing can cancel it and only one thing. What is it? Charity, Tzedaka. The higher the level of charity is, the higher the chance to get savvies. You give charity to stupid causes, Hashem is not happy from it. You give all kinds of Zionist, communist, anti-religious, organization. They hate Hashem, they hate Torah, they hate everything that smells like religion. What are you giving them donations for? Don't you know you're making God angry? You give donation to a Reform place or to a Conservative place or to some of these clowns that call themselves Modern Orthodox, you give them money. Do you think God is happy from it? It's despite these places, you giving them money actually making Him angrier. At you. That will help you. If you give, what are the causes? Give to someone who sits and learns Torah and loves the Torah, what we call in Hebrew "Ben Torah," the son of the Torah. Someone that whenever you speak to him, he's gonna speak Torah. Someone that loves Hashem, someone that is devoted for Torah, for religious lifestyle. Not a rotten faker. Cut those fakers away. Stay away from them. There's no point of supporting them whatsoever. Focus on the real good ones, on the humble ones. Many of them you can find in Jerusalem, maybe in Bnei Brak, in some humble places. People that sit and learn with nothing to their name. Nothing. They don't own anything. They don't have a car. They don't have a house. Some of them don't even have a watch. Definitely they don't have smartphones. They sit and learn 100%. That's a very good cause. Support a poor person or poor family that they love Torah. You come to the Shabbos table, you hear Torah, everybody say in his turn, Divrei Torah. There's arguments about halachah, about the parasha, question, answer. Fantastic. But there's even higher, higher level than this. What is it? As I said it thousands of times already in the last 25 years, what is it what we do over here? Spread Torah to the public, doing kiruv. Kiruv means take a person that is far away from Hashem and bring him closer. Like the Rambam say, yesterday before he became Baal Teshuvah, he was hated, despicable, pushed away, beshukatz. Hashem could not look at him. And now after he turned around, and now he became loved and welcome and a friend and close to Hashem. Yesterday was hated, the next day he's loved. Why? Because he finally started to listen to Hashem for the first time on the earth. On in his life. You know, it's very interesting. I had a very young girl from a religious family somewhere in the world, without saying where, that she, Baruch Hashem, a million times Baruch Hashem, her conscience was still working. She was about to make a very bad sin. Young innocent girl, you know, 18 years old, something like that. She was about to make a very bad scene with some non-Jew that she met on the internet. She went and got into the internet somehow, and this guy was fooling her, taking advantage of her innocence, and she was moments, moments before going and meeting him. Who knows how it would end? Either in a murder, Or who knows, he would cut her to pieces and who knows what he would do to her. Or if he's not a monster murderer, he would violate her modesty. And I don't have to tell you how horrible is that scene. How life would be after that to her, probably a disaster. How it would affect her family and the community, who knows what tragedy would come out of it. Was still working and she contacted me. I don't know who she is, it's all anonymous. And Baruch Hashem was able to convince her to block this goy, cut completely the connection with him. You know, the Yetzer Hara does not let, does not let you go. But she was strong. I did not let, I did not give up. I kept making her stronger and stronger and in the end She did it. It was a few hard days, but I started to tell her, listen to this, listen to that lecture. She started to listen to this series that I just made, the psychology of the mind of the soul. Every day she was listening to a different lecture. And now she's listening to, from what I've seen, she, I told her, you have to give me every day, send me one text message and tell tell me which lecture you have, you have, you heard today. And we made a deal that she would listen to at least one lecture a day. But some night she sent, today I listened to two lectures. And she's struggling to come out of the Yetzer Hara that she almost fell into. But you see what the power of the lectures, how they take a person that is on fire to make a scene and in a day or two turning 180 degrees to be humble and righteous and push the sin away. No wonder the Rambam writes, yesterday was despicable and hated and pushed over and today is loved and welcome and Hashem is friend of Hashem. Friend, yadid. You know what yadid means? The word yadid means friends, true friend. But it's a combination of two words, yad Yad is the hand. Yud, Dalet, Yad. Why? Yud is 10 in numeric value. Dalet is 4. Yud and Dalet is 14. Why they call the Yad, the palm, the hands, why do they call it Yad? Because it has 14 parts. Right here you have 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 2, 14. Yud, Yod and Dalet, 14. And then you have another Yad, two people shake hands, Yod, Yad, and Yad. Putting two ends together, Yod, Dalet, Yod, Dalet together, it's Yadid. And Yod, Dalet plus Yod, Dalet becomes 28. 28 equal in numeric value Koach, strength. Two together in unity is much, much, much stronger than one. Everybody knows that. So the Rambam used this word not randomly. Obviously, every word by the Rambam is precise. Yesterday was hated and pushed away, meaning get out of here, I don't want to look at you. But today is loved and welcome and is yadid, meaning is Hashem shaking his head, I'm proud of you. Yahusha HaMashiach. It's so clear, it's so obvious, but yet the Satan is powerful and keeps pushing and doing and destroying. Rabotai, I want to conclude. We have to do everything we can to protect ourselves. Those of us that has weapons and stuff like that, Be ready. It's not a joke. You have to be ready. Hide your cars. If there's a way to hide the mezuzah, maybe you can bring it inside the home or anything like that. Anything that will attract fire to you, it's pikuach nefesh now. Same thing, we close the yeshivot. Same thing, we close the synagogue. Don't show Jewish identity in many places. Those of you who goes with the Star of David necklaces or all kinds of things like these, better not to take, not to wear them. Why? All you need is 1% of the people that are rioting on the street to be Nazis and anti-Jews, and it can ignite like fire. Synagogues, if they can hire big security, if they open, if they open. Now President Trump said a week ago that he encouraged all religious institutions, Jews and non-Jews, to open their places of worship, and if the governor would give a hard time, he will overrule the government's decision. I don't see really any change in the situation. I mean, I know some synagogues opened up, but it's still one minyan instead of 3 or 4 that they used to have, and it's small, and not everybody's showing up. One way or the other, if they are in full activity, they have to have security. It's because of nefesh. One, it may not be enough. May not be enough. If you count that the police will respond when someone will call 911, come protect us, there's 500 people out there with torches and guns and knives and broken bottles. You are really over-optimistic if you really think the police will care. I said in one of my lectures in the past, in the beginning the police will really try. I give them the benefits of the doubt that they really want to do their job regardless of who calls them—Jew, Muslim, white, black, doesn't matter. At one point they won't be able to withstand any anymore. They're gonna be working day and night and they will become cold to the situation. Whatever happened happened, I don't care anymore. And we have to also remember that some of these police people are racist as it is. They hate Jews, they hate Blacks, they hate other, maybe Muslims. So to begin with, if a religious institution will call them, such as a synagogue or a mosque or anything like this that's been attacked, Many of them would be happy about it. They won't even want to respond. Yes, so the situation is that we now understand more than ever before that we have nobody to rely on besides Hashem. No one to rely on. And since we don't even know if we will be alive tomorrow, and it's not an exaggeration, I want to encourage each one of you that listens to me, each each one of you to make 100% repentance today, not tomorrow, today. Don't wait another day. Why? Because if we have to leave this world, make sure you leave this world in the status of a righteous person. If you die and you'll be mechalel Shabbat, you're gonna have very big problem, much, much bigger than what or losing your property. When you come in front of Hashem and you finished your life being a Mechalen Shabbat or eating treifot, eating all kinds of non-kosher food or making other horrible sins that some people do. So we have to be extremely careful now. We have to learn a lot. We have to read a lot of Tehillim. We have to invest. Now, now a lot of us don't want walk, what do you do all day? It's a great opportunity to learn 14 to 16 hours a day Torah. Today they have some of these great apps that can teach you the Daf Yomi on the Talmud in such a clear and easy way. It's amazing. Some of them have even videos. They show you what we're talking about. There's one I recommend now, it's called Merikava. Merkava. And it's amazing because over there it shows you what's the question, what's the answer, and it's explaining in English or in Hebrew in a very clear language what the Gemara asks, what the answer is. You go to Rashi, you click. In some pages they even have videos that can be related to that. Fantastic app. Free of charge. You download it, you can learn Torah. Even ordinary simple people can start learning Gemara for the first time in their life. They have the art scroll. If you buy one at a time, you don't have to buy the whole set. Buy one, start part 1, finish, you go part 2. They have explanation, everything. You have a friend, neighbor, or someone you can learn with Zoom. It's a new world. Instead of watching stupid things, instead of reading the news 500 times, a day focus on Torah now. Whatever business you have to do or shopping for food, fine, we have to live. But other than that, what other things we have to do? What other things besides learning Torah and praying and reading Tehillim? What other things we have to do, Rabotai? Let's think for a second. We had now wonderful Shavuot, we went to to Englewood, New Jersey. This is where I, for 13 years, I do there every Yom Kippur by a dear friend of mine. Baruch Hashem, we have to thank Hashem we have such good friendship. Sometimes two families are better than brothers and sisters even. So we go there every Yom Kippur, a lot of people come and we fast together and learn together and pray together. Fantastic for 13 years. Plus the people of the place. This time, for the first time, we did Shavuot together. Baruch Hashem, it's a very big house with huge background over there next to the pool over there. There was beautiful weather, breeze. Stayed up all night, people learned. I gave shiurim, I gave my 3 or 4 lectures in the middle of the night between reading the Tikkun with Davenetz. Then another lecture, then we learned the Daf Yomi, first day, second day. Baruch Hashem, I was able to teach the Gemara there, the Daf Yomi to the people there. And then we gave another speech in Mincha, Sodas Lishit, Friday night we also did. It was a marathon of Torah. Fantastic! What else we should do, Rabotai? We have to connect connect ourselves to Torah. That was the goal of this whole Shavuot was what? We're accepting the Torah. We show Hashem how much we want to accept the Torah. I told the people over there every day without realizing we pray Avodah and we lie to Hashem in His face. We lie. We don't realize. What do we say? Ki em chayenu ve'orechi amenu u'vayem nehege oman valayla. We talk about the Torah. We serve Adonai. We tell Hashem, thank you for the Torah. We hope, you know, that we will have the Torah and we learn Torah. And what do we say? We make a declaration that the Torah is our life and the length of our days, and we will learn in it day and night. If you are learning day and night, then you're not lying. Most people can stand behind this declaration. You're standing in front of Hashem, you're praying to Hashem, and you're actually lying into His face by reading this. It's a lie. What do you say? We learn day and night. Do you? Do you even learn day? Do you learn even night? If you do both of them, then you're not a liar. You actually say the truth. Some people, they don't make it a priority. The Torah says, "V'agita bani oman valayla." You have to sink deeply into my Torah day and night. There's so much to learn. There's not one subject in life that the Torah does not talk about. The Talmud is an ocean of knowledge, ocean of knowledge. There's not one thing it does not talk about. It talks about math and geometry and agriculture and medicine and philosophy and so many— and how to do business and business and merchandise and markets, stock market, merchandise market, commodities. There's not one thing it does not discuss about marriage, about raising children, about keeping all the mitzvot, about the psychology of the human being, about the nature of the nations, about history. So many topics, thousands of pages, complicated, but the greatest fun on earth. That's what most ignorant people don't understand. When you begin to learn, yeah, it may be difficult. Sometimes I'm afraid to say that, but based on what people sometimes say, sometimes it may even look boring in the beginning. Because you come from a filthy world, an impure world, and your mind is in filth and in not modest things and in all kinds of movies. Moving from filth into the purest, holiest thing, it's a drastic change. The soul is shaking. Vibrating. It's a panic. However, after a few days that you begin to learn, every day will be a little bit less difficult. 1% less today, tomorrow another 1% less. After 3 months, you can live without it. You're waiting when is the next show will start. People that are into her, into Torah, they don't need even setting or schedule, or they, when the yeshiva is off, they still learn. Someone who loves Torah, love to learn. A person look at his own children, in every family you have kids that love more Torah and kids that love nonsense, like sport and other things. There are kids that you have to beg them to learn. Once they begin to learn, they already love it. Wow, it's not interesting. You see, you see how they're full of life. But some kids, if you're lucky, you don't ever have to tell them to learn. With or without you, they want to learn. They don't want to go anywhere. If the family goes to place and they know it's going to be a waste of time for them, I will stay alone home, or I will go to a neighbor and eat by them as long as I can stay by the shul and sit and learn. Also by girls, Rabotai. Some girls are much more spiritual than others. Some girls, their mind is only in clothing and makeup and baking and cooking and vacations and shopping and Amazon. You know how many times a day they do birkat Amazon? Not because they eat. They, no, no, God forbid. They don't want to change their figure, you know. So they don't eat. They starve themselves. Why? It's in fashion now to be anorexic. Birkat Amazon, it's a joke. Amazon, Amazon the company, 3, 4 times a day they order. You can see by you coming to their home, it's always going to be a pile of boxes every day, every day. Why? Like a drug. But some girls are not like that. Some girls, all they want is to listen to Torah from morning to night. You know, like they would put this USB, USB had thousands of hours of lectures, of CD, every CD 30 hours. It is playing and playing and playing nonstop. You wonder to yourself how many hours a day you listen to Torah. Literally 20 hours a day straight every day. For already 3 months since this quarantine started. Do you know how many billions of mitzvot these girls got already? And boys? Whoever does it, billions. The interesting thing is that you see every day the increase in the spirituality of those people, men and women. You see, when they started the journey of listening to the Ohr HaTorah USB, how they are a week later, how they are 3 weeks later, how they are 3 months later. From zero level almost to a level of Rebbitzen, or to a level of a Bev Torah meeting, just from this USB. One lecture after the other, one topic after the other. Some lectures they hear 2 or 3 times. Why? Because second time you see things you didn't see first time, and third time, even third time you see things. No wonder the Gemara said to repeat 4 times. Really, to remember it for life, 101 times. But 4 times you should remember it pretty good. But to remember it in the middle of the night, 20 years later, 101 times. The Gemara says 100 times and 101 is not the same. Something, I guess, in the psychology and the memory of the brain works from 101 and up. Just like the Gaon of Vilna says, for whatever reason, he was the genius from Vilna, he knew what he's talking about, that if a person will learn 3 hours and 15 minutes every day straight without timeout, meaning go to the bathroom right before, Don't drink every second, don't get up to make tea, nothing. Don't drink too much that it will make you get up in the middle and go to the bathroom. Clear your body, sit 3 hours and 15 minutes, no telephone, no nothing. Every day, "muftach yet al mitracham," guaranteed to be at al mitracham. It's a very, very serious statement. So let's finish with what we started. Rabotai, we must be extra alert now, extra. Do everything you can to protect yourself and your family. Those of you who already bought a place in Israel, now it's time to consider to move. Now you can still sell your homes, maybe even your businesses. Don't be too picky. If the price is 10% less, even 20% less, grab it. Get on a plane and go move to your home in Israel and start new life. Those of you cannot afford it and they don't have a place over there, what else we have left? To beg Hashem to help us out. Some people would be able to buy house in Israel but only after they sell the house so if you can sell it now, try to sell it now. Remember, when the Jews have to leave Iran, they couldn't take with them their buildings and property. When they lose work, when the Jews were kicked out of Spain, they took nothing with them. When Gaddafi and all these Libyans kicked them out from Libya, from Tripoli, they couldn't take anything with them. When the Jews left Yemen, even the school scrolls of Gemara and Torah, which was hundreds of years old, they had very big value, they did not let them take it. Jews that almost in every country when they left, the people of that country never let them take their treasures with them, not their money, not their belongings, and definitely they just could never sell their properties. In the Nazi, in Germany and Europe, you know, Holocaust, they took away all the Jewish property, trillions of dollars of worth. It's all went down to this Cossack, to the Polish, to everyone, to Germans and Austrians and Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Where is all the Jewish property? Even America, if you have 6 million Jews, I estimate that there is at least a million homes. Many people have another vacation home, but let's say a million homes approximately for 6 million people. 1 million houses, each house is a million dollars and up almost in New York. Some houses are 10, 15, 20, 30 million, 100 million. I've seen houses out there in places that are expensive, they're worth fortunes. This will all go to the end of these bloodthirsty murderer antisemite Gentiles. One day they'll walk in and it will become their mansion and there's nothing you can do about it. When Hashem punish, he punish, Rabotai. You don't have to believe me, just check the history, what happened throughout the history. If you'll be able not to send If you're still not ready to move, rent. Rent is no obligation. You get up and you leave. But again, nobody should still do anything before they sit and talk 100% to their personal rabbi. Rabbis are aware of what's happening. They themselves understand that the situation here changed drastically. Particularly in the last week. If you spoke to me a month ago, I would not tell you what I'm telling you right now. But obviously I'm on alert. I see what's changing and I see where it can end. And again, B'ezrat Hashem, there's always the chance that things will come down and all these angry people would stop robbing places and eventually things may become quiet. It's not that those antisemite Gentiles changed. Still hate you, still would love to kill you. They would still love to steal your homes and everything you have. There's nothing changed. Right now the tiger is not so angry until the next time it's gonna get an attack. Again, not that I claim that Israel is perfect. Paradise right now. No, truth must be told. There is a lot of anti-Torah and anti-religion people in Israel, tons of Erev Rav. My guess, based on the words of the Zohar and what I've seen in reality, half of the people in Israel are not friends of the Torah. Just by looking at the government and all these clowns, how they speak against Charedim and against the Torah. You get the point. Life is going to be a picnic there? No. If you ask me, it would be much better off to move to New Zealand, but we are Jews, we follow the Torah. Israel is the Holy Land, and we know that we are moments before the arrival of the Messiah because all the signs of the Torah already happened. What is the point to run and live another 2, 3, or 4, or 5, or 10 years in another country and then and then have to move again to Israel. We might as well just move there, live the struggle until we get used to the new reality because a person is getting used to every new reality. I have a friend, the day I moved to Muncie, he moved to Israel. Correction, the day I moved to this house, he moved to Israel. We were in Muncie already 3 years before in a rented apartment. The day, it's one Mash was the same day. It was my best friend here. He moved to Israel and he suffered a lot in the first 2, 3 years. He just could not adjust to the Israeli mentality and to the aggressive people. But today, after all these years, if you ask him, "Are you happy that you moved there?" He lost almost all his money. "Are you happy there?" "Very happy." Something that the Neshamah is in Israel that it doesn't have anywhere else in the world. Some kind of joy. Some— it opens up the brain. "Avira de'aretz Yisrael machkima." The Maharal says walking 4 steps in Eretz Yisrael is already a mitzvah. Just walking there on the Holy Land. I'm not now talking about the beautiful views and the nice nature there. You have it here in America as well. That's not the point. The point is that still you are in the land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You are in the land of the Torah. You are in the land that Hakadosh Baruch Hu says that Eretz Yisrael is a land that "nei Hashem elokei chabbar mireshit hashana ve'ad acharit hashana." The eyes of your God is in that land from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Plus, I estimate that there's more than a million religious Jews living in New York alone. Between Borough Park, Lakewood, Williamsburg, Monsey, Monroe, and many other places, if you collect all the religious people, you have probably about a million or more religious Jews. If they will all move to Israel within a year, let's say, there will be a turnaround. Because right now you have in Israel another million to a million and a half religious people if they're gonna get another million right away, that means half of the government will be religious people. I'm not so optimistic because the non-religious people will import more goyim like they did with the Russians. They brought 800,000 non-Jewish Russians to Israel to be against the religion and the religious people that they're growing. So don't count on that too much, but But definitely they would not be able to ignore 2.5 million religious people that lives in Israel. Can't ignore such a number. What will happen, only Hashem knows, Rabotai. Remember the conclusion of this lecture. Be ready for the worst, hope for the best. Be ready for the worst, but remember the most important thing, no matter what happened to you, suffering, losing financially, physically, emotionally. Life is a blink of the eye. Before you realize, it will be over. If it will be over now, it will be over now. If not, in 10 years. If not, in 30 years. But it will be over. When it will be over, you look back, it will be like a blink of the eye. The Gemara says, "Keherefayim, aulav razei keherefayim." "Keherefayim" means the half a second half a second that it takes to blink. That's it. Whether you live 80 years or 100 years or 30 years, in the end it would be all like half a second. Obviously, nobody pays attention how quick the eyes open and close. What will count in the end, and that's what you have to keep pushing into your head million times if it's necessary, Where we will end the moment the soul will come out of our body. If we will be Shomer Shabbat, dress modestly by the women, men also have to dress modestly, but it's not as critical as women, that they become "Achtiot Harabim," influencing the public to commit sins by looking at them and thinking and all kinds of things like that. Provocative behavior. We strictly count on, we strictly pay attention to what we eat. We watch our mouth for lashon hara. We give tons of tzedakah. We learn Torah, we connect to Torah, the Torah becomes the main thing in our life. We fix our heart on midot, pride, ego, anger, laziness, jealousy. Selfishness, jealousy. What a horrible leader. Looking at someone else that has a happiness, whether he got engaged or married or something good happened to him, he got a new job, he opened a business, something that he's happy about, and a person look at it and suffer in his heart because he's a jealous person. You know what it is. It's crazy. Hashem decided to give your brother something good. Instead of dancing, you are suffering? What does it show about your level? Where is your faith? A person that has real faith in Hashem, real confidence in Hashem, they will never be jealous. You, you're not jealous? Jealous? I'm so happy for him. I'm honored. I'm delighted. Delighted about what? That he bought himself a nice beautiful home. That he finally have a normal car after all these years. That he finally got married. But you're not married. Baruch Hashem, at least one of us got saved. The Torah educates how to be. But remember, without faith and without constantly learning Torah, It's impossible. No one ever changes traits unless he sunk deeply into the Torah and work on it day after day, night after night. People have to work on their ideology. We spoke about it many times in the past. It's very important. Hashem cannot stand people with bad ideology. People that vote Democrats, people that are pro-gay marriage, people that are tolerating all these wicked people, people that compliment the wicked people, people that kiss up to people just because they're rich, people that count on the army and the police and the president is a friend of Israel, is a friend of the Jews. Trump is the best president in history, no question about it. For the Jewish people and for Israel. And yet, I don't think the Jewish people suffered more in the last 100 years in America like they suffered in the last 3-4 months. Business, poverty, losing jobs, losing businesses, being locked at home, being attacked by the antisemites before the corona. Remember, there was every day an attack. Being butchered on social media, living in fear, with a president that likes you and really wishes for your best. What do you see, Rabotai? President, it's very nice, but he's another piece of puppet that Hashem will move left and right. In the end, no one can run away from the judgment How many times we have to repeat it? Everything that happens now was written in Rosh Hashanah Rabotai. People cry to me about losing here, losing there, money. I keep telling them, you don't understand if it would be on your health, on your children's health. Imagine, one of my students that moved to Israel, his father left him some inheritance. One of the things he did, he always owned an apartment somewhere in the south. And the struggle he had, he had a buyer before Corona and they already agreed on a price and the buyer changed his mind, he wants his deposit back and he sued him. In the meantime, he vandalized the place because he was renting it. And then he went to a lawyer, the Gemara already said their opinions about this kind of lawyers, that already took from him more than the lawsuit. I don't believe what's going on here. The guy wanted his deposit, the lawyer already charged him double than that deposit. I told him, you fool, why don't you just compromise with this guy that canceled the contract, give him most of his money back, get rid of him and move on. What do you need all this court? He said, did I ever know that the lawyer will squeeze my blood? And every day come up with a new bill. Did I ever know that? It didn't stop with that. He said 4,000, then another 4, then another this, and another that. In the end, it became more, much more than what I had to pay that guy back. Why? Bloodsuckers. No integrity, no honesty, no emunah in Hashem. Taking advantage of people in trouble, putting a gun to their head. Do you really think that when the time comes and the Mashiach comes, people like you will be around? It's written clearly, "Mi alebe har Hashem," who's gonna come in the mountain of Hashem, meaning when the salvation will begin? "Neki chapayim uval levav," someone that his hands are clean and his heart is clean. How many people can declare that their hands are clean from blood. They don't murder anyone, and from blood, meaning money. In the Shona Kodesh, the holy language, red blood that we have in our body and money is the same word, because to get money, you have to put your blood into it. Stealing money from a person is killing him, killing years of his life, how much he it took him to get that money. So cheating customers, playing tricks, telling them it's gonna cost you such and such and in the end it's 4 times more. After they already gave you some of the money, now you're holding them as hostages. All these lawyers that working in divorce cases and keep stretching it for years that they can blackmail both sides and take more and more money. What horrible hand these lawyers will have in Gehinnom. "Ben maran sayatov shebaruch shebaruch reidim lagehinnom." And the doctors who torture their patients and don't care about their suffering, don't care if they live or die or whatever they do, and every one of them thinks he's a god— not everyone, many of them think he's a god and life and death is in his hand. And they walk with their nose all the way in the sky because they have education and they've been in school for many years. Everybody, every one of them thinks is some kind of a giant. The Gemara discussed this, it's not my opinion. "Atov shebarofim lageinu." I know few doctors, angels, religious doctors, fantastic. "Baalei chesed." They told me anytime you have Someone that doesn't have money, it is from the yeshiva, send them to us, we'll take care of them. One is a dentist, one is a conoloscopy, I don't even know how to say it, and one of them is a general doctor. Everyone with his thing. The Gemara says there was Abba Una, he had a room, a little room, and he told the patients, go and put whatever you can afford in a bucket there. Meaning you won't know who paid what. I take care of the people because I want to help them. Paranasah anyway, it's in the hand of Hashem, so I must get what Hashem wants me to have. Whatever the patients put, fine. The rest Hashem will send me somewhere else. So, Rabotai, if you already have a way to help people, sometimes poor people come What's the big deal? You're a skin doctor, you see someone is suffering, doesn't have money, or dentist. Not everybody can afford the treatment. People suffer because they cannot afford to do root canal. No problem, come, let me pay little by little, pay over a year, pay over 2 years. That's called chesed. People, even if they're not big talmid chachamim, they can use their position profession to gain a lot of good points by Hashem. If you're graphic artist, volunteer, design, publish, make flyers, lectures, whatever you can design, website to rabbis that you see that they're very good. And please be very, very, very careful, very careful. I'm warning each one of you. Don't say that I warn you. Never ever to listen even one minute to one of the 14 wicked clowns in my blacklist. Be very careful. Every minute that you listen to them will destroy your soul. It's not a joke. It's not an exaggeration. They are infidels. They spread heresy and they modify the Torah completely. They They teach lies, they teach incorrect information, they encourage more sins, they make sinners feel great about their sins, they keep giving them false promises that they're great and Hashem loves them and they have nothing to worry about. They deny things that the Gemara says clearly and discuss in many, many chapters. They are very dangerous, especially Santa Claus is the worst out of everyone. Unfortunately, he has a large following. People with no brain, you have unlimited amount. Someone that have brain for Torah, any Talmid Chacham that I play some of his clips to him to ask his opinion about him, in less than 2 minutes they close their ears. Hashem Yirachem wa Lekofir. Avali has fans. Why? Because people don't know. They never went to yeshiva. They didn't learn by good Ashgiah. They don't have the Jewish Ashkafah and they buy all the nonsense he sells them. You gotta be very careful. I'm telling you, these people will bring tragedies to your life. You must warn every one of your friends. Anyone who still does not have the list, contact me, rabbiisrachi@gmail.com. I send it to every person who contacted me. It's urgent. I clear my schedule to do it. It's important, Rabotai, you have to know once you're listening to the wrong speakers, it makes a huge damage to your soul. You can, Chasvei Shalom, get a huge punishment for it. Don't say I did not know. You cannot listen to these people who tell you that it's great for your wife to go out and to be beautiful to the men on the street and you should get a fancy wig that the men would look at her in the street because beauty, it's not private. This is unheard of in the whole history of the Jewish nation. Every rabbi from the Gemara, if you bring him back to life and let him listen to this horrible infidel, the ears would fall off their head and all the other things. And I even saw, I Rabbi Reuven sent me some information that he was actually making fun of the woman that was raped, a little girl that was raped, making fun of them and supporting pedophiles. Hard to believe, Rabotai, hard to believe the things that is happening around. How can we not cry? How can we not cry? One of them run and hug the gays and put picture in his Facebook page. It's no problem. Another idiot make a book that is no problem being a gay. This Santa Claus say it's not an abomination. What's the incentive of these criminals to legalize the things that God wrote in the Torah that he hates the most? It cannot be understood. It's written in the Torah that it's death penalty by stoning and it's abomination and you stand in front of an audience and say, "Not an abomination, it's not an abomination, it's a sin. Thank you very much that you agree that it's a sin." Another minute he would say it's a great mitzvah to be a gay. It's hard to believe, Rabbi Tov. But the people don't know anything. People sit over there. Now one person got up and said, "Excuse me, what are you talking about? Here I show you the source in the Torah, it says it's toeva." Torah means a horrible abomination. Immediately to put him on the spot, why are you lying? Why are you deceiving? Why are you changing the text of God? Don't you know what the Torah says about someone who modifies the Torah? He himself will get a death penalty. Nobody makes a beep. And he has the nerve to charge $180 to make a course for people to come hear his garbage. Very painful, very, very painful. What can we do? Who knows if all these tragedies don't come on us just because of him alone. Who knows? Only Hashem knows. The Gemara says, "Da'avo mishkav zacha," because of supporting of all this homosexuality and all these gay parades and all gay activity and making it no big deal Because of that, tragedies come to the world. It's a clear matter. Clear matter. Hurricane, tragedies, earthquakes. That's the anger of God. I made laws in nature and you want to redesign my world? Who do you think you are? And the nerve is to call yourself religious? Forget religious. You call yourself a rabbi? The Christian Santa Claus is already more kosher than you. Any Muslim is million times better than him. Anyone. Muslims don't believe in homosexuality. Muslims don't believe in stealing. Muslims don't believe in the things that he's spreading. They don't have such rotten ideology and they don't have Torah. They're Gentiles, they never got the Torah. What he promotes, even this doctor from Saudi Arabia told me that I'm the same way that you're talking about these clowns that spread heresy among Islam. There are speakers that speak whatever they like, politicians. There's no such thing in Islam to murder and things like that. I said to him, listen, Where are those kosher speakers? You don't hear their voice. All we hear is kill and jihad and murder. That's all we hear. That's what we hear. That's what we talk about. Why don't you have the good ones that I'm sure they exist, but why don't they make a big— the answer over there, because over there there's a lot of violence. You're gonna say something, they're gonna arrange for your assassination. By us, we don't get to this. Baruch Hashem, at least by us, we don't go and murder people for what they say or for their opinion. It's hardly ever it happens, but we must be zealous. We have to feel the pain of Hashem when we have such horrible terrible wicked speakers out there that modify and destroy the Torah. It's like taking the Torah and putting it in a toilet and flush the water on it. That's what they do. Stepping on the Torah with their legs will be not as bad as what they do. It's crazy to take clear verses from the Torah and actually say the opposite of what's written. Where did they get the nerve for it? How they don't have any fear? They have no Irachamayim, no fear. No wonder he goes and makes fun of the girl that was raped. Her life was over. For a woman to be raped, most likely is worse than to be murdered. Go and check every one of them, of rape victim, what she would prefer that happened to her that day, that she would have to go this horrible experience experience, or she would rather to get some kind of a bullet to her head and won't go to the humiliation and the suffering and the mental problems that it causes for the rest of her life? I wouldn't be surprised if most women by far would say, I would rather die than to go through that. And not only that, then they get rejected later on in society, and people don't know how to handle it. It's not over the day of the tragedy. It can go sometimes 20, 30 years later and you with your Santa Claus beard making fun of the girl like this. Am I surprised? Absolutely not. From this kind of infidels, everything they do will never surprise me. Never. Because I see what kind of people they are. What I'm surprised is How many fools are continuing to listen to them? That's what I'm surprised. But I did my obligation. I fulfilled my obligation. I warned many times. I'm not gonna repeat this forever. This message is very, very clear. You want to continue? It's on your own expense, your own responsibility. Don't— you won't be able later on to say you can't say I didn't know because I warned, Rabbi Reuven warned, and it's clear. He made a very good job. He collected all the parts from all these infidels. He put it on a video, showed it black and white, the nonsense that they talk about. You continue, it's 100% you and Hashem, and Hashem will take care of you, and you're gonna suffer for it, I promise you. You will see the that every hour that you listen from these 14 infidels— there's others, but those 14 still have audience, that's why we made that list— they not only won't get any reward for learning Torah because it's not Torah, it's heresy, they will be punished for every minute that they listen to them and corrupted their soul and corrupted their mind and corrupted corrupted their ideology and made them less Torah observant because these people make you comfortably numb by spreading lies and making everything look like, "Hey, don't worry, Hashem will never ever punish." And it's baloney. So not only that the person in this world would lose, also Hashem will punish He's going to punish him that the time that he wasted on those wicked clowns, he could have listened to a kosher speaker or to go and sit in a Dungmarah or Halacha with someone. It's Bitul Torah, and there's going to be major consequences to it. I'm telling you, I'm not going to be surprised if when Mashiach comes, we will ask him, why did we have to go through all this suffering? And the answer will be those clowns. I will not be surprised at all. Only Hashem knows. He has his reasons. But logically, knowing some Torah, these people bring tragedies on each one of us. And a lot of the children who got burned and got killed in the last few years here and in Israel, they went sacrifices for, instead of thousands of other people, people to die, Hashem took all these innocent pure babies from Talmud Eitova, little kids like the Sassoon family kids and another family in Israel that 6 kids and their both parents got burned and other tragedies that happened. People have short memory. How do we dare to forget these tragedies? What do you think, it was another little problem? What is this? Someone lost some money here. This is a punch to the face to every Jew on earth, whether he lives in America or in Israel or in China. People have short memory. That's why I tell people, make a diary. Read it, reading it, open it, read the miracles that happen to you, substantial things that happen, a wake-up call by Hashem. Who would ever believe that banks banks in America will be closed for more than 2 and a half months. They don't even leave a window open. Sealed. Why they are closed almost all their branches? Why? Because they're afraid that all the people will come and take their cash out and the whole country will collapse. They're really afraid of Corona? Baloney. People with masks go everywhere. People walk. There's places people go. People going to Costco, into Walmart with masks. What's the difference? They can't be in a bank? 4 or 5 tellers cannot be in a bank with masks? Of course they can. One person that couldn't leave by the window? Most places they didn't. One or two banks I heard that they have windows. Everything else they closed. Why? That's— the real reason is because they know people will run and grab all the cash that they have. They lost faith in the future of this country. It's very possible that a civil war is about to happen any minute. People will start killing each other on the street. So far it's riots and burning property and stealing and graffiti. It can ignite into a horrible war. You have all the people in the South, as it is, they're not so crazy about this kind of people. And it's gonna create who knows what kind of a war. It's gonna— everybody will attack everybody. And remember, when things like this happen, with very sad heart I'm telling you this, the Jews will not get away with that because in the end there will always be, no matter what group you are talking about, there's never gonna be a group that don't have an There are antisemites there, always have, and they are dangerous and they have no fear. And once there's no fear and there's no supervision and the authorities did nothing about it in the last few years, who knows what to expect. But what I remember, learning every day, reading Tehillim every day with tears, praying to Hashem with broken hearts, And the most important thing out of everything in this moment is tanz of tzedakah. Don't be afraid what's gonna happen in 2 years from now. For now you have money to live. Don't worry. If Hashem wants you dead, you'll die even if you have billions. And if He wants you alive, even if you don't have money, you will have what to eat. But at least you know that when the time was bad, You prove to Hashem that you have confidence in Him. Someone from Montreal, she told me today, I want to sponsor a lecture. Lecture goes through 100,000 people, 2 hours lecture, and can be, it can be 200,000 hours of Torah. People give between $500 to $1,000 on average to sponsor a lecture, lecture of 2 hours. Wake up so many people, make people become more serious in religion. It's a great profit. Who can make such profit? 200,000 hours of learning Torah eventually for $4,000 or for $500. Where would you find such a bargain? But this woman is unemployed already for 3 months. She gets a little bit of money from the Canadian government. So she said today she wants to sponsor a lecture. I said, to the best of my knowledge, I didn't hear that you won the lottery recently. She said, no, I'm actually living on a small budget, and like everyone else, I'm not doing good now financially. But now, isn't it what you say in one of your lectures that now is the time to prove to Hashem that I really trust in Him? Not when money comes and I work and I make commissions and money. That's a kosher thinking. This is what a Jew has to think. Gentiles also have to think like this. Charity helps the Gentiles just as much. Gentile will give charity to a good cause, he's very lucky. It can save him from death, it can save his children, it can help him, it can get him better living later on, can save his life, can save sick people. We've seen it thousands of times throughout the years. That situation that looked very desperate and the family gave big amount of Tzedakah and it was right away 180 degrees, turn around. I hope people got the point about it. I don't know how many more lectures I'm gonna do in the next few weeks. I really don't know. It's not gonna be in a shul in next month. And I'm gonna, if Hashem would agree and I will be able technically to get on a plane and go to Israel next week as the plan is, I don't know how much time I'm gonna have to give lectures over there. I may not be able to give a lecture next month at all. I don't know. We'll see. I can't promise anything, not for good, not for bad. I can't promise, but we will see. We will see what's Hashem's plans. But one thing, I want this lecture to be memorized, not just to be forgotten. That's why I ask each one of you, is It's a crime to hear a lecture that you know inspires and good and push you to the right direction and not share it with your friends and your neighbors and your brothers and your sisters and colleagues. It's a crime. It's not just selfishness, it's an actual crime because the Torah says there's an obligation to rebuke everyone and you're not gonna start talking to hundreds of people that needs to become better. So here I did the job for you. All you need to do is to click few buttons. Please do the right thing. Thank you very much. Baruch Ani. Amen.
