It Is So Easy to Prove

A kabbalistic interpretation of the Shmita and Yovel cycles as cosmic epochs spanning 7,000 years, with six worlds created and destroyed before the current seventh world. Following Torah and Shabbat guarantees spiritual reward in the World to Come that surpasses 6,000 years of earthly pleasure combined. Suffering serves as divine purification that ultimately brings greater reward.
Chapters
Miroshod, Rav Yaakov Nassirov, the Rabbi of the beautiful shul here and Rabbi of the community for decades, Baruch Hashem. I'm honored here to be here tonight, and the topic I was asked to speak about is proofs that our Torah is 100% divine from Hashem. Now I know some of you think, why do I need proof to know that the Torah is from God? We follow the religion, we follow the tradition for thousands of years. But I'm telling you from experience, even someone that was born religious and his father is a rabbi and he went to yeshivot all his life and learned Gemara and Halacha needs proofs that the Torah is 100% divine. How do I know? I'll tell you how I know. 25 years ago, we made a seminar in New Jersey And we brought one Hasidish rabbi that was teaching Gemara in yeshiva for many years. He was maybe 50 years old. He teach Gemara for 20, 30 years. Talmid Chacham. I saw him in the middle of the seminar sitting in the last row and he did not stop crying from happiness the entire time when he listened to one lecture after the other. He didn't move from his seat. I came to him, I said, "Rabbi, why are you crying? Everything okay?" So he told me this sentence. He told me, "All my life I learned Torah and teach Torah, and who knows how many students I have. But now for the first time in my life, I understood what does it mean, Hashem, Torah. It became to me now 100% reality." Until now it was all faith. Faith, emunah, emunah. Ani ma'amin, emunah, emunah. May have doubts. Even if you have 5% doubt that the water has poison. 95% chance that it's clean, but 5% chance that it has poison, you won't drink it. 1% chance, you won't drink it. Even half a percent, you won't drink it. Why? Why should I take a risk to die or to become sick? So with a 1% doubt, it's already very difficult to keep what the book requires you to do, especially when if you are secular and you live like a non-Jew all your life with no religion, and all of a sudden someone shows you and proves to you that the Torah is 100% from God, you have to change your entire life. You have to change the way you dress, the way you eat, the way you talk, the way you conduct business. The way you get married, the way you raise children, what schools you send your children to, how you behave on the Shabbat, on the Sabbath, how much charity you have to give from now on, how honest you have to be in a business or with people, how you have to be careful not to speak gossip, how you have to respect your parents even if you can't stand them. Everything changed in your life. Everything changed. There's not one thing in your life that stays the same. If you live a secular life, that means "endin ven dayan." You do whatever you want. Whatever you feel like and whatever society recommends you to do. Today what we call social media, they design the mind of the teenagers. That's why in Israel now in the last 20 years almost every kid has tattoos. When I was there, not one kid had a tattoo. No one. It was the most disgusting and ugly thing to have. If someone had a tattoo, everyone knew it's a criminal from jail. Nobody normal made tattoos. But once they started to bring the people with the culture of the goyim and the music of the goyim and the images of all these rock and roll stars or whatever you call it, everybody started to imitate them. People wanted to look like the heroes, like the singers. Every singer in Israel is full of tattoos. Like the rap singers from Harlem, same thing. But Jews never had anything with tattoos. What made now every other kid do it? The damage of the social media and many other things. When I was in Israel, nobody touched drugs. Only few criminals smoked grass. No one, no one would dare to even come near it. If there was a rumor that someone in town smoked grass, People would target him as a big threat to society. Nobody wanted to even speak to him. Then you would already assume the worst about him. Why? Because he smoked grass. Today, 30, 40 years later, almost every person in the world does it. Why? Because people cannot think on their own. Whatever you feed them, they eat. They don't check. They don't calculate, what do I gain, what do I lose, what damage is gonna make to my life. Nobody thinks anymore. Because the social media occupy your mind and redesign your life and destroys you. And that's what happened. Now, I'll tell you better than that. When I was in 8th grade, 8th grade, I was 13 years old. I was in the school Aleph Dalet Gordon in the city of Bat Yam, a secular school. No one was religious in the school. We were 400 students, 400 students. One guy started to smoke cigarettes. One guy in 8th grade started to smoke cigarettes. And when people saw it, the rumors started to spread all over the city of Bat Yam. And the city of Bat Yam in those days, no one was religious there. There was no— it wasn't like today, Baruch Hashem, you have thousands of baalei teshuvah. But back then, 40-something, 40 years ago, nobody was religious there. The whole school was secular, the teachers are secular, everything. One guy started to smoke cigarettes and the entire city of Bat Yam was talking about him, what a dangerous criminal he is. Every parent told his kids, "Stay away from this guy. I don't want to see you near him. If he comes to play soccer, you leave the game and you run. I don't want to hear that you stood next to him." He was the gangster of the city. When he would come in, everyone would run. Why? Because he dared to smoke cigarettes. And this is in a totally secular city, in a totally secular public school. This is how the Jews were 40 years ago without religion. Without. Just out of respect to the tradition. Most of the Jews 40 years ago, either their parents or grandparents were religious. If you were Moroccan 40 years ago, for sure your grandpa was a religious man. Persians, Syrians, Yemenites, and many of the Ashkenazim as well. So people had respect for the religion because they saw the grandparents, they saw some holidays, they went to shul from time to time. They were not religious, but they had respect for the religion. Today, 40 years later, most of the Jews in the world, the secular Jews, have zero, zero, literally zero knowledge about Judaism. Not even 1%. They don't know anything. They never read the Torah once in their life. There's not one secular person today in America that you can bring in and ask him, did you read the Torah once in your life? And he will tell you, yes, I know what's going on in the Torah. I know who is against who. I know who gave birth to who, who were the fathers of the Jewish nation, who were their children, what were the tribes of Israel. What time, at what period of time we came out of Egypt, what happened when we entered Israel. Nobody knows anything. They don't teach Torah in schools anymore, in public schools. They don't teach anything, and families do not know Torah. And these kids grow up in public school with all kinds of Gentiles, all kinds of going from all over the world, and they have zero knowledge in Torah. And many of them become lefty liberals. They even hate Torah. They hate Judaism. They hate tradition. They want to have modern life. They want to rebel against religion. They hate everything that smells like religion— Jews, Christians, everything. Why? Because they don't know what it is. People hate something so much and you ask them, do you know one word from the Torah? They don't know. So how can you hate a book? That you never read once in your life to know what's inside? How do you know? What, you were brainwashed by other people that told you all kinds of stuff? The purpose of the lecture tonight is after 1 hour of speech, everybody here that sits here and have even a little doubt, needless to say if he doesn't believe at all in the Torah, in 1 hour, 1 hour it's too much, in 20 minutes If you pay attention to what I'm about to say, in less than 20 minutes you will already know 1 million percent that the Torah is 100% from the Creator of the world. Now before I'm gonna start giving you the proofs, I need to ask you one question. For all of you, you don't have to raise your hands, just think about what I say. For all of you, that have a doubt in their mind if God really gave the Jewish people the Torah. Maybe the rabbis made it up. Maybe every generation added something to it. Maybe this was the culture 3,300 years ago, but today it's not relevant. Maybe even if God gave the Torah, maybe he left the world, he left the people to manage on their own, but he's not watching the world anymore. There are a lot of questions and a lot of doubts in the mind of many Jews and needless to say Gentiles. So the question that I have to you, assuming that what I promise I'm going to keep my word and in the next hour every one of you will not have any doubts, you will know 1 million percent that Torah is the book of God. The question is, what are you going to do with that? What are you going to do with that? I tell you why I'm asking. Because if you go to a doctor and the doctor says, okay, listen, I can save your life, I can operate on you, it's a complicated surgery, but the success of the surgery, it depends on you taking the medicine every day for 3 months, 3 times a day. 'If you will skip a day with the medicine, it will all go back to what it was. The whole surgery was for nothing. I want to make sure that after I operate on you, you're going to be a good patient and follow the instructions and take the medication every day. Are you going to do it?' 'Eh, I'm not sure, I have to think about it. I will see, maybe yes, maybe not.' Smart doctor. Will perform the operation or will tell them just go back home? Come back to me when you're ready to commit. Will the doctor waste his time performing the operation if the patient is not sure if he's gonna take the medication? That's a stupid doctor. Only if he makes a lot of money. If he makes the money, he'll make the operation. But that's okay, I don't charge any money for the operation. So I speak to you 100% in a pure way. So the question that I'm asking right now is, after you know 1 million percent, without any doubt whatsoever, that this book is the book of God, what is going to be your next step? What do you think is the right next step? We came out of this room tonight, out of this synagogue, And you know 1 million percent God gave the Jewish nation the Torah in Mount Sinai in front of millions of witnesses. It went from father to son. We never lost in any generation the knowledge of the Torah. It's all over the world. There are tens of hundreds of thousands of Torahs all over the world. They're all the same. In all the communities, the Jews followed the Torah even if there was no communication between them. There was no telephone. There was no emails like today. And when the Jews came back to Israel, After 2,000 years, they came from all over the world and they all came with the same tefillin and the same Torah and the same tzitzit and the same brit milah and the same matzot in Pesach and the same laws of Shabbat and the same modesty of the women and the same taarat mishpacha in the mikveh and the same everything. Same Gemara, same Shir Hashirim, same prophets, same everything the same. So after something like this happened, and you see that the Jews were very fanatic about keeping the divine laws, and they live by that, and I want, in case you don't know history, until 220 years ago, it was almost impossible to find a Jew in the world that was not religious. It was almost impossible. In every community in the world that you would go, the leader was the rabbi. The court was rabbinical court. There was no such thing secular court like they have in Israel now. It was only rabbinical dayanim. All the marriages were through the rabbis, mesadreki dushim. All the kittim was all through the Jewish court. All the food was all 100% kosher. There was no such thing eating not kosher among the Jews. There was no such thing public schools. Every Jew got brit milah. Every Jew had mezuzot. Every Jewish woman was 100% modest. There's no such thing bathing suit or walking in the streets half naked. There was no such things. And you know, not only that, in 220 years ago, there was one person named Moses Mendelssohn. He was a rabbi, a modern Orthodox rabbi. And he decided that he learned enough Torah, he knows a lot of Torah, but he wants to hear what the goyim has to offer in universe. 'university' as well. Let's hear about other secular studies. And they decided to go to the university. And then his children, within years, went also to the university. And all of them met non-Jewish women, German women, you know, goyot. They married the goyot. All his children left the religion and they all became completely secular, marrying non-Jews. This Moses Mendelssohn doesn't have one grandchild a Jew. His family was cut completely after 3,100 years from the time we got the Torah. All his parents, grandparents, all the way to Moshe Rabbeinu were all religious. He decided only to go to college to see what they teach over there. And that was the end of his family tree. All of them became goyim. This was 220 years ago. The problem is that it wasn't only Moses Mendelssohn. Once they see a modern rabbi go to university, a lot of other Jews that were not so strong in religion, they also started to go to universities. And thousands of Jews started to go to universities to become doctors and lawyers and engineers. And that's called the beginning of the Haskalah movement. The beginning of secular studies movement. The Jews learn in yeshivot, but at the same time they also join to hear what the goyim has to teach in universities. Within 150 years, 80% of the Jews in Europe became totally secular. Complete mechalelei Shabbat, marry the goyim, assimilation. In Germany, Austria, and some countries were already at 80% level. Just before the Holocaust start. After the Holocaust, which was a very big punishment from God, and I can show it to you in the Torah, it's written clearly that there will be a day like this. And the Torah also say why there will be such a day. It's not something that I made up. It's written in Parashat Vayelech. In the text and in hidden mathematical schemes, a code inside the text that's speaking about one day there will be a Holocaust Ashurah in Hebrew, Ei Shin Aleph, Ei Shin Vav Aleph Hei, Ashurah, 5 letters are hidden inside a chapter that describes the Holocaust in equal mathematical skip of 49 letters. Ei, 49 letters. Shin, 49 letters. Vav, 49 letters. Aleph, 49 letters, hey, right there. Now you may say, wow, that's a huge coincidence. The word Holocaust, in Hebrew, Shoah means Holocaust, is hidden in the text that describes that one day God said to Moshe, there will be time that the majority of the Jewish people would leave me and betray me, and I will send the cruel goyim after them to destroy them. In this part of the Torah, the word Holocaust is hidden in equal mathematical skip. The chance that something like this would be random is 1 to many millions. But in case you are skeptic, I wanna also tell you that there are more than 20 names that relates to the Nazis, all in the same chapter. Adolf Hitler, Adolf Eichmann, Rudolf Hess. Final Solution, Zyklon B, ghettos. Lots of words that connects to the Holocaust in equal mathematical skip where in a chapter that describes that one day the Jews will have a Holocaust. Statistically, something like this is impossible to happen random. But there are many, many thousands of hidden codes in the Torah. And they always relate to the text of the Torah itself. I'll give you an example. There is a Parashat Noah speaking about the flood. There was a massive flood in the world. Hashem started, restarted the world with 8 people. Noah and his 3 sons and their wives. 8 people started a new world. Everybody died. This was 4,200 years ago. Everybody died. It was 40 days and 40 nights, massive rain nonstop, and all the spring water exploded, and Hashem covered the whole world up to the top mountain with water. And it took 1 year for the water to dry, and Noah was in the ark with the animals, and that's how it's written over there. One of the reasons that it happened, for the sin of men with men, women with women. There were other reasons, stealing and other things, but abomination. The Torah described that one of the sins that the people in that time in the world— there was no Judaism yet. This is 900 years before the Torah was given to the Jews. There were only 7 laws that God gave to Noah for the Gentiles of the world. There were only Gentiles. There was no Judaism yet. Adam and Eve, Adam got 6 laws, and when Noah came, God gave him 1 more law to make it 7. And there were 7 laws to entire humanity, and one of them was forbidden sexual relationship, which is being gay and all kinds of things, relationship with animals and people that, you know, are related to each other. This was forbidden even until today to the Gentiles. They cannot just go with whoever they want. They also have rules. These rules apply to all the people in the world, but the people didn't care. They were violating these rules until God said enough is enough. And once he wiped out all the people in the world, he restarted the world again. And in this chapter that describes what happened to all the wicked people, you find the word AIDS in each equal mathematical scheme. And all the words that connected to this disease, AIDS that came, I think, in the '80s, is a virus in the blood. People used to die right away within months from getting HIV. They didn't know how to treat the disease. There was millions of people dying and it affected all the gays in the beginning. Later on it started to spread to other people. And it's all hidden in a chapter in the Torah that speaks about this kind of crime against God. What are the odds that it's random? It cannot be, statistically. I give you one final example and I will start giving the other proofs. In the first page of the Torah, it's described that God created Adam and Eve and he put them in the Garden of Eden. There was a beautiful garden, very nice place with lots of beautiful trees and waters and rivers. And he told Adam, all the trees here are made for you. You enjoy the world, you watch the trees, you supervise everything. All the animals also are made for you. I created this beautiful world for you. Just don't eat from this tree. The tree of that, it's a, it's a that, tree of knowledge, do not touch it. And you know the story, of course Adam had to touch it. And what happened after that? If you look at this page that describes the Garden of Eden, You have over there more than 30 words of fruits and vegetables that grows from the ground. They all appear in one page in the Torah in equal mathematical scheme. Wheat, barley, oat, spelt, grapes, pomegranate, figs, dates, everything in Hebrew. Tamar, tenah, rimon, zayit, chitah, seora, akkor. Everything appears in one page in equal mathematical scheme. All the fruits, all the important fruits of the Holy Land are all hidden in a text in one page in the Torah. Something like this statistically is 1 to infinity. There's no way to plan such thing in a book that describes a story. You have to plan so many hidden mathematical schemes, it's impossible. I give you another example. Just in the beginning of the Torah B'reishit bara Elokim et hashamayim vetaharetz. In the beginning God created heaven and earth. B'reishit means in the beginning. What does it mean in the beginning? Creation of time. In order for you to use this expression, in the beginning, something that has a beginning is subject to time. Now time exists only where material exists. If there is no material, there is no time. When there is material, there is time. Why? Because material is all the galaxies, is the movement of the sun, the movement of the moon, the movement of the Earth, the movement of all the galaxies. That's what creates time. I give you an example. You have the sun in the middle, and then you have the Earth, and the Earth rotates around the sun in 365 days and few hours. While the Earth is going around the Sun, the Moon is going around the Earth at the same time when the Earth is rotating around the Sun. And the Earth is turning around its center every 24 hours, it finishes a whole circle. That's what gives us day and night, and that's why the day and night altogether takes 24 hours exactly. Not a second more and not a second later. What makes the 4 seasons? The movement of the Earth around the Sun. Every 3 months a season is changing. Why? Because the Earth was here at 3 o'clock, now it moved to 6 o'clock, now it moved to 9 o'clock, and then it moved to 12 o'clock. Every 3 months it moves 90 degrees, right? A circle is 360 degrees, so it moves 90 degrees, and when the Earth is here, it's summer. When it moves to here, it's gonna be the— spring? No, the fall. And then after that, winter, and after that, spring, and after that, summer. This rotation of the Earth around the Sun In 365 days, that's what gives us a year. Now, the Earth is turning in a very fast speed. Because it's so big, we don't feel it. What's the speed of the Earth? 1,700 kilometers per hour. It's 1,100 miles per hour. If you go on Highway 60, 60, it looks that you move very fast. That's 15 times faster or more, 17 times faster. That's how fast the Earth is turning. Meaning, if you're standing in one place of the Earth, after 1 hour you move 1,100 miles. The 1,700 kilometers per hour, that's the reason why all the watches in the world always tell the right time. If the Earth sometimes will slow down or sometimes will turn faster, then one hour will be 60 minutes, the next hour will be 90 minutes, the next hour will be 40 minutes, and no one will know if a day is finishing or not, and the whole purpose of the world will be defeated. So what makes the day 24 hours? It's the speed of the movement of the Earth. Now, let's give you a parable for you to understand if something like this can be coincidence or not. I'm taking you on a trip in the Atlantic Ocean with a big boat. There are hundreds of people on the boat and I say, "Rabotai, I'm taking now a quarter, a coin," and I throw it into the water, very far, as far as I can. Each one of you now has his own quarter. I'm willing to give you $1 million cash if you throw your quarter and your quarter will fall exactly on my quarter in the bottom of the ocean. I will give you $1 million cash. Who will join the trip? Baruch Hashem, no one is a fool here. Why you won't waste your time coming with me on a trip? Because you know there is zero chance to make your quarter fall exactly on mine, right? There's so many possibilities. The quarter can fall in billions of other places. It's 1 to 20 billion, 1 to 50 billion. Who wants to waste his time on such a low chance? Would you like to gamble on a chance for 1 to 20 billion? No! Now listen to this, listen carefully. You know, the space, space is endless, endless. You can fly with a spaceship for years and years and years and millions of years. And you will never see the end of it. There is endless space. The size of the Earth, the world that we live in, it's a very small ball. It's one of the smallest stars in the universe. It's the Earth. It's a very small ball. Now, the Earth has to be close enough to the Sun, but not too close. If it will be too close, we will all burn. If it will be too far, we will all freeze. So now, now the Creator of the world had unlimited amount of options where he should place the Earth. Here, here, here, here, here. Unlimited options. Unlimited, because space is endless. He could have put it here and here and here and here until tomorrow, everywhere He can. But there is only one place in the entire universe, which is endless space, that the earth could be placed to allow life of people and animals on the earth. Only one place. From endless opportunities and options, The Earth could have been only in one place. Where? Exactly where it was placed. Something like this can be a coincidence? This is a trillion times less of a chance than your coin will fall on mine. For the coin to fall on mine, no one will gamble on it. What I just told you is a lot less of a chance. That the Earth randomly will be placed in space in the only place that life could exist? If you're clever enough, you don't really need proofs anymore. You already know there is a God that created the world and the entire universe. Because something like this could never happen randomly. Plus, the Earth is standing in space and is not falling down. What's holding it? It's a very big mystery. If I take a basketball and I put the basketball in the air and I said to the basketball, "Stay in the air and rotate. Don't move. While you move, you have to make a circle around another ball." One of the answers, the basketball will stay in the air. There are things in space that are falling. There are pieces from stars that are breaking. And they fall. But the stars themselves, they all stand and they all move. And they don't collide with each other. Billions and trillions of stars, they're all moving in circles and there was never an accident. They don't need to buy insurance from GEICO. There's no accident. You know how sometimes people say there is a falling star, shooting star? Make a wish. You heard about it or no? What do you think about this stupid expression, there is a falling star? There's no such thing as falling star. There is an asteroid that broke a piece, chipped, something chipped from the star. Star is 1,000 times bigger than Earth. A little piece broke, the size of? This building, it's a very big, very big piece of rock. It cracked from a star and is now falling. So why does it look like someone is shooting a flare of fire? Because it's close to the sun. The sun is giving as a projector. When a piece is falling, the sun is highlighting this piece and you see a line of fire going from up to down. However, why does it make a whole line? It should have been a movement of a little dot, but you see a whole line. The answer is because almost all the stars are covered with ice. They are far from the Sun, they don't get enough heat like we get, and the temperature over there is 200 below zero, 300 below zero. So the entire star is one piece of ice. When a piece chaps, it's a huge piece of ice the size of this building. And now it keeps falling and it comes close to the sun and the sun is melting it. And you have enough water like a waterfall. It's all melting in seconds. And that's why you see a huge line. That's called a shooting star, a star that is falling. But stars, they never fall, they always move exactly according to the plan of the Creator. Now, let's start giving the proofs. We don't need that many proofs because I believe that what I've told you already got you to think. But I will explain to you a little bit how does it work. When you go to the Torah, Bereshit, in the beginning, God created heaven and earth, right? So, in the beginning is the creation of time. What does it mean creation of time? That means God created material. When material exists, when all the movement of the galaxy started, the counting of the time the way we know it started. How many years ago it was? 5,784 years ago. Soon, in one month, It will be 5,785 years old from the minute that God created the universe. Now, I know that some of you heard many times by scientists or by all kinds of people that the world is billions of years old. Billions of years old. I don't want to get into it because it's going to take a long time, but it's totally false. No scientist, no university ever gave an objective proof to the age of the world. All the claims they made is all based on assumptions and calculation and extrapolation and all kinds of methods that they use, but none of them is a proof. It's not a proof. Now, there are two ways to prove that they are wrong, the scientists all over the world. There is a way to prove it in one minute, and there is a way to prove it in 4 hours. Which one of the two you want? One minute. 4 hours. 4 hours. For you, I'm gonna make a special 4 hours until the morning. You're not going anywhere. So, the answer is, let's do it in a minute, let's not waste time. Now, we have to think. If there is a person sitting over there, let's call him Reuven. Now we have 100 people here. Every one of us has to write on a piece of paper, "Our world is Reuven." Right? So everybody wrote a number. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 20, 50, 70, 90. There is 100 different opinions, "Our world is Reuven." Every one of us submitted his result and now we have 100 different ages. Can it be that all of us are right or wrong? Is it possible that all 100 people are right? How old is Ruben? He's 1? He's 5? He's 10? He's 50? He's 90? How old is he? Can everybody be right? At best case scenario, How many people could be right? One or none. You hear? Either one or no one. But for sure, not more than one. You agree? It cannot be 13 and 17 at the same time. You agree or no? Okay. Now when I see more than 100 different research work by major scientists different universities all over the world. Israel, United States, New York, Los Angeles, London, Japan, China, all over the world scientists are busy with this question. How old is the universe? How old is the Earth? And everybody gives a different age. 4 million years old, 10 million years old, 300 million years old, billions of years old. And there is a scientist who says only a few thousand years old. Everybody says different age and they are very far from each other and they all went to the same universities, same professors, same methods, same sheet of paper, same everything. How can it be that there is a scientist from Texas that says the world is only a few thousand years old and there is another scientist from the same state that said that the world is 300 million years old. How can it be? If we use math, we have to come to the same results. If we use measurement, we have to come to the same results. If all of them will be around 4 million years, 4.1, 4.5, 3.8, you know what? Something in the way they're measuring it makes sense. But if one comes to 4 million and one comes to a few thousand, and one comes to 300 million, what does it tell a clever person? Not to waste another minute on them. It's a waste of time and money. Now, in case you're not convinced, you go to my website, divineinformation.com. I put two films by an American scientist. His name is Robert Gentry. Robert Gentry is a non-Jew. He is a scientist, famous scientist, and he proves in two films that he made that the world is only a few thousands of years old. But he, unlike the others, shows proofs to his research, and he describes qualify all the other assumptions one by one with cores, with all kinds of ways that they measure the age of the world. He shows one by one how it's all fake. The name of the two films is The Young Age of Earth and the second film called The Fingerprints of Creation. I give you my word, take my word for it, You can go and check. After you watch one of these two films, you will never let anyone speak to you about this nonsense that the world is millions of years old. You won't, you will be allergic to it. You won't be able to waste a second on this nonsense. So, he leaves no doubt. I gave it to a lot of skeptics, people that were sure that the world is millions of years old. After they watched this, That's it. The argument was over for life. Why? He did a very good job, this Goy, 100%. So therefore, you have an option. You can go there and see the edge of the world. Why so many people want to adapt this theory that the world is millions of years old? Why it's so urgent for so many people to prove such thing? Because that's it's gonna be disqualifying the Torah. The Torah describes a world of less than 6,000 years old. If the scientists will prove that the world is millions of years old, the religious people have no idea what they're talking about. And that disqualifies everything else: Shabbat, tefillin, kashrut. Why? Because if you have one mistake in the Torah, it's not divine. If a book has a mistake in it, it's not divine. Years ago, I had a debate with a Christian professor. Maybe some of you watched it. He's teaching Christianity in the Christian University of Manhattan. Back then, he said that he's teaching for 30 years. So, he is an expert in Christianity, he's a teacher for this religion for 30 years. If you watch the 3-hour debate, you saw that the guy drank 17 bottles of water. He was panicking. It was the nightmare of his life. The people in the audience were laughing about the nonsense that he was talking about. And I proved to him that Christianity is a fake religion. It's full of human errors. In a book that you have a human error, you know for sure that God never gave this book because God does not make human errors. People make mistakes. The Creator of the world does not make mistakes in his book. If the book has a human error, that means it's not from God. For instance, in the Torah it's written that Jacob went to Egypt with 70 people. So the Christian wanted to continue where the Torah finished They say we have part 2 from God, the New Testament. So it's written over there that Jacob went to Egypt with 75 people. Such a mistake. In the first book, it's written 70 people. In the second book, all of a sudden it became 75. What do you see from here? There is a human error. Now there are many, many mistakes over there. But we don't want to waste time on that. If you want to see the mistake, you watch my film, Torah and Science. Over there I show mistakes in the New Testament and mistakes in the Quran. I give you one example from the Quran. Do you know according to the Quran there was a prophet of the Goyim? His name was JC, the master of Christianity. According to the Quran, who was the uncle of JC? You won't believe that. According to the Quran, which is also full of human errors, who is the uncle of JC? Moses. And who is the aunt of JC? Miriam, the sister of Moses. And Aaron, Aaron, Moshe, and Miriam are the uncle and the aunt of Jesus. How the Quran made such a foolish mistake? They copy from the Torah the story of Miriam, that she is the sister of Moshe Rabbeinu, and then they had another story about Jesus that was born to a woman named Miriam. That was 2,000 years ago. And they mix between a story that appear in Christianity and a story that appear in Judaism of two different Miriam. And what did they do? They mix between the two women and made them into one. So in the Torah, they describe that Moshe had a sister named Miriam. In the Christianity, they say that Jesus had a mother named Miriam. And in the Quran, which is 700 years after Christianity, they say that the woman who came and claimed that she's a virgin and Jesus was born to her even though she's still a virgin because God came and made her pregnant, her name is Miriam and she is the sister of Moshe. So the genius that wrote the Quran did not know that Jesus was 2,000 years ago Moses and Miriam was 3,300 years ago. So in the Quran they write, oh, oh, Maria, oh, Mary, oh, Miriam, depending what language you read it. Oh, Miriam, what is this strange baby that you brought to us? You don't have a husband. Your father Amran will not be proud of you. Amran, who is Amran? The father of Moses, Abraham, and Isaac. So they mix between two Miriam, and that's a mistake of kindergarten. Take a Jewish kid, 5 years old, he won't make that mistake. There are many other mistakes. For instance, in the Quran, there was a meeting between Pharaoh and Haman. Pharaoh was 3,400 years ago. Haman was 2,000 400 years ago. It's almost 1,000 years between Pharaoh and Haman. The wicked Pharaoh of the Torah and the wicked Haman of Megillat Esther. According to the Quran, they made a meeting how to stop the Jews, the God of the Jews. And Pharaoh said to Haman, make me a tower that I can go up to the sky to fight the God of the Jews. It's a story like this in the Quran. Maybe they met in hell, but they definitely didn't meet in this world, Haman and Pharaoh. So here, just to show you in a minute how you know in less than 2 minutes that the book cannot be divine. Now, in the Torah, you will never find human error because it was not written by any human. It was given to Moshe by God, the Creator of the world. Now, in the Torah, it starts, "Bereshit bara Elokim." If you take the word "Bereshit," it's finishing with Tav. You circle the Tav. After the Tav, you begin to count the letters. 49 letters after the Tav, right? Bereshit bara Elokim. So what comes after the Tav? Bet. Right? Of Bara'a. So you begin to count. Bet, it's 1. Resh, it's 2. Aleph, it's 3. Elokim, right? So you begin to count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 49 letters. The 50th letter will be Vav. You circle the Vav. So now you have the Taf of Bereshit. You circle the Vav. You count 49 letters. The 50th letter will be Resh. You circle the Resh. You count 49 letters. The 50th letter will be He. In the first pasuk in the Torah, God hid the name Torah in equal mathematical skip in the text. Tav, 49 letters. The 50th letter is Vav. The 50th letter is Resh. 50th letter, hey, Torah. You go to the second book of Moses, Shemot, Exodus. V'eleh Shemot Bnei Yisrael. You circle the Tav of the Shemot. You count 50 letters. What do you get? Huh? What do you get? Shemot finish with Tav. You circle the Tav. You count 50 letters. What do you get? Vav. You count 50 letters, you get Resh. You count 50 letters, you get He. Also in the book of Shmot, the word Torah is hidden in equal mathematical skip of 49 letters. You go— now let's skip. We go to Devarim, Deuteronomy. We have Torah in equal mathematical skip of 49, but this time from left to right. From the end to the beginning in reverse. We go to Bamidbar, Numbers. We have Torah in equal skip of 49 letters from left to right. Now we have the middle book, Leviticus, Vayikra. What is the skip in Vayikra? Yud, Kef, Vav, Kef. Yud and Hey and Vav and Hey. In equal mathematical skip. So it's like a menorah with 5 arms. The middle one, which is the base, is God. And the whole world is Torah from right to left towards the middle, and Torah from left to right towards the middle in equal mathematical skip. This is, by the way, the way— the reason Hashem did it is for all the people, the atheists today, that try to claim that the Torah was given and written by many different people. Something like this could have never happened because no one would know to continue in the right codes because we only discovered the codes 25 years ago when they invented computers, almost 30 years ago. Before they invented computers, we didn't know where to look. Now we enter a word to the computer and the computer search the whole Torah in 2 seconds and show you if the word appear in equal mathematical skip. Without the computer will take us years. What the computer does in 2 seconds, it will take us 10 years. We will have to count and count forever. But the computer search the whole Torah, you put a name and the computer find it inside in equal mathematical scheme. Let me give you an example. 30 years ago, a person named Yigal Amir murdered the Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin. I'm sure all of you heard about it, right? Even the young ones. That was the first murder of a Prime Minister in Israel. Everyone was shocked. Until today, they don't stop talking about it. It's something that made a big impact on Israel. The murderer is still in jail in a small room disconnected from the whole world. They don't even let him go out and be in touch with any other prisoners for 30 years and no president will ever pardon him. Why? Because they made him the most hated person in Israel. The media, the lefty media The nonstop talk against him, no one will have the guts to release him after 30 years already. And they will never release him. Because other murderers, after 20-something years, they let them out. But this guy, the lefties are so angry that he killed the lefty Prime Minister, they will rot him in jail until the last day of his life. By the way, I had once a student in yeshiva, he came to me, he said, Rabbi, I lost hope that I will get married. I tried for 10 years. I'm in my 30s. It doesn't work for me. I'm giving up. I said to him, why? What's wrong with you? Why would you give up? You're healthy, you look good. Baruch Hashem, you have enough money to live. Why did you lose hope? How many times I should go on dates? That's it. Probably God doesn't want me to get married. So I asked him, tell me, 'Who has a bigger chance to get married, you or Yigal Amir, that is closed in a cage for over 20 years?' Back then it was over 20 years. He said, 'Of course me.' I said, 'Didn't you hear that Yigal Amir just got married?' A woman from Belarus decided to come to Israel specially insisting to marry Yigal Amir. A religious woman. From all the people in the world, she wanted to marry Yigal Amir. I said, "What, you crazy? What kind of life you gonna have? He is the most hated person. Look at everyone hates him here. On TV, they constantly bash him. Why you want only him?" Tough. What are the odds they're gonna have a child? A year later, a baby boy. Egal Amir is closed in a shoebox. He doesn't see a day of light of a day. And Hashem decided that Egal Amir will get married, and Egal Amir got married. So I told him, well, who has a bigger chance to get married, you or him? These are— I was using these examples for a few years until I got a better one than this. One day I get a phone call Rabbi, there is a guy in hospital, in Petach Tikva, in Beit Levinstein, that is paralyzed from head to toe. He can only move his nose. Cannot move any part of the body. Nothing. Not the head, not the hands, not the legs, nothing. And he's 13 years in a hospital. He became paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. When he was 21, something like that. For 13 years he's in a bed. He discovered you in the internet, started to listen to all your lectures, and became extremely religious. He asked if you're willing to come to visit him in hospital. I said, of course. After my lecture, in the night, Or before the lecture, I went to the hospital, me and my assistant, we made a video with him. And he moves his nose, he has a little sticker in, and it moves the arrow on the screen. And when he wants to click, he moves it to the right. When he wants to go next, move it to the left. Or, he has all kinds of movements in the nose, and that's how he moves the arrow. He cannot move any other part of the body. And he talks and whatever he talks, it prints and he sends email to people. That was the first time. Few months later, I went to Israel. Again, they called, he wants to see you again, would you come? I say, yeah, I'll come again. This time I came and you have it on video. He said to me, Rabbi, I'm already 13 years over here. "It's very hard. I want to have my own room. Maybe you talk to the people that they can donate some money to me. I can move to my own house. How many years I'm gonna stay in hospital?" So, okay, B'ezrat Hashem, you send me if you made any flyers or any way where to donate, I'm gonna talk about it. And before I left, he said, "I also want you to give me a blessing that I should get married." Now, this is a catch-22. Oy li moma, oy li loma. Either way, I'm getting embarrassed here. Why? First reaction, I wanted to tell him, "Ma, to get married, you cannot move. How are you going to get married? You need to function in marriage." But then I said to myself, I cannot tell it to him. Obviously, he knows his condition. So I'm thinking to myself, if I tell him, why would you like to get married, someone that cannot move from bed, what kind of marriage is going to be? Then he's gonna get upset. I may hurt his feeling. If I'm gonna give him now a blessing that he should get married, I ruin my reputation. I would be the idiot of the town. People would say, what kind of rabbi is this, give him a blessing to get married? When he cannot move, when you make a joke out of it? I say, you know what, I'm not gonna embarrass the guy. Let me give him a blessing. I gave him a blessing, but from my heart. And I'm thinking to myself, what are the odds? But he believed the blessing. Amen, he said. Guess what? 2 months later, a month and a half later, he calls me up. Rabbi, I'm inviting you to my wedding. You would think maybe he found a woman handicapped, she's also paralyzed, so they lay next to each other and talk all day, no? No, normal, healthy, not handicapped, functioning, looks nice, and very religious. How did they get married? She was a nurse in Beth Levine State. She fell in love with his righteousness. Such a tzaddik, and he constantly say in the videos, you have to see it, it's going to motivate you very much. I thank Hashem for making me paralyzed 13 years in this bed. I have zero complaints. I'm very happy. If that's the way Hashem wants me, I'm very happy. Stay on the videos. I will come to cheer you up in the end. You actually making us stronger in faith. You had to see his wedding. They brought him with the ambulance. Hundreds of hundreds of people from all over. He became famous. From all over Israel came dancing around his bed, moving the bed. You have to see this video. Everyone was crying. And the time of the chuppah, Baruch Hashem, got married. And he has now his own place. If Hashem want Someone in a cage will get married and have children. And if it was someone paralyzed that cannot move any part of the body to get married, he'll get married. Why did Hashem do these things? For all the single guys and girls who lost hope. Now I want to give you the first proof for tonight. You know, we are the Jewish people. We are not allowed to eat everything we want or everything we see. We have restrictions. The goyim, they are allowed to eat everything they want. Everything. In one condition, that it's dead already. Any animal, rats, dogs, Cats, horses, turtles, lobsters, shrimp, sharks, whatever they want to eat, they are allowed to eat. But as long as the animal is dead first. You don't eat it when it's still moving in a plate like the Chinese do. Chinese, they eat cockroaches and worms and they move in their mouth. Or they eat their mice when they still move in a plate. They dip it in the soy sauce and push it into— I saw a video with my own eyes, I saw it. They push the living mouse into their mouth and they take a piece of broccoli for dessert. This is a serious violation of the 7 Laws of Noah. One of them is you are not allowed to eat animals unless they are dead first. You cannot eat them while they're still moving. Once they're dead, you can eat them. That's why the goyim are allowed to go and hunt deers. They shoot, the deer is dead, they bring it all the way from upstairs to Brooklyn, they barbecue the deer. The deer is nivela. It's dead already for 7-8 hours. No problem for the goyim to eat it. They take the skin off, they cut, they barbecue it, they allow it. The Jewish people and the Muslim copy from the Jewish people, they don't eat dead animals. They slaughter only something that was slaughtered according to the way the Torah says. But the goyim, the Arabs, the Muslims, they don't have the Torah and they don't have the oral Torah. For them, it's enough that the animal was slaughtered. That's why when the Jews slaughter over here in College Point, all the animals that are not— doesn't have smooth, long— you slaughter the animal and you find it's taref. You sell it to the Arabs. There's a lot of Arabs come to buy from the Jews. Why? Because every slaughtered animal, it's halal. There's no other condition besides that it was slaughtered. By Jews, there are many conditions, but they don't have oral Torah, so they don't know about these conditions. They only saw that the Jews are slaughtering, and that's why they also made a rule in the Quran that you have to eat animals that were slaughtered. They also don't eat pork because it's written in Torah that Jews are not allowed to eat pork. But they eat other things that the Jews are not allowed to eat. Now, the Torah says you want to eat seafood, you can eat seafood in one condition. Everything that you take out of the water must have fins and scales. Kas kasim v'snapirim. Et zeh tochnu mikol asher bamayim kol asher lo snapir v'kas keset tochelu. Everything that have fins and scales, it's kosher. If it does not have fins or scales, or none of them, it's not kosher. Therefore, a shark is kosher or not? No, because it has fins but it doesn't have scales. Same thing, dolphin. Now, salmon, kosher or not? Kosher, have fins and have scales. So, there are many fish that are kosher, but the majority of the fish in the ocean are not kosher. As many, many. How many different kinds of fish we know in the archives today? Or I should say 20 years ago I checked. More than 40,000 names of fish. We know maybe 30, 30 kosher fish, maybe 40. That's it. But there are more than 40,000. Almost all of them are not kosher. Now, every pasuk in the Torah, every verse in the Torah, in order for you to understand what it means, you do not translate the words literally. Do not make that mistake. It's not a human book that whatever they write, they write, you understand literally the words. No. The Torah, it's a combination of written Torah and oral Torah. You cannot understand one verse from the written Torah unless you go to the oral Torah to see what God told us about this verse in Mount Sinai verbally. Now the question we have to ask, why God has to separate between his divine information Some of it is written and some of that was given verbally. Why? Why not to write everything in a book and that's it? The answer, if everything would be written in one book, the size of this book will be all the way from here to Monsey. Good luck moving it. Today you try to lift the Sefer Torah, half of the people in the shul cannot do akbar, it's so heavy. Especially the old Ashkenazi books from the old days. You know how heavy it is? You need a massive person to lift it up. And that's with 304,805 letters. If you would write the entire Oral Torah, it would be the whole Talmud in it. It would be all the way to here, from who knows where. No one would be able to move it. But that's not the main reason. Why? Because Hashem could have divided it to few written Torahs on few different scrolls. One on this one and another one and another one like the prophets. No, that's not the main reason. What is the main reason? That the goyim, the nations, will never get their hand on all the divine information that God gave to his children, the chosen. Nation in Mount Sinai. If the goyim would have all the information, then after 3 generations the most, no one would know who was a Jew and who was a non-Jew. Why? Because the goyim, they translate the Torah to so many languages, and right away they will know how to make tefillin, how to write mezuzah, how to write sefer Torah, how to do brit milah, because because everything would be written in one book, so they have everything written. They don't need us, the Jews. They all had beards, they all had their turbans on their heads. They would come, a group of goyim would come from far away with phyllo, with tzitzit. You would ask them, where are you from? From Afghanistan. You Jewish? Don't you see? Tzitzit, phyllo, we keep Shabbat, all our babies are circumcised. No one will know is for sure a Jew or who is not. It will not be possible to know. Now if they go in, wants to be Jewish, they depend on the Jewish court, on the Beit Din. They test them, they check them, they see how serious they are, and then they decide if they convert them or not. But they will not be able to pretend that they're Jewish on their own because they don't have all the knowledge. Because most of the knowledge that they God gave us in Mount Sinai was not written in a book. I'll give you an example. On Shabbat, tomorrow, on Shabbat in 2 days from now, we're going to read Parasha 3. In the middle of the Parasha, there is a verse, "Lo tevashel gedi bachalevimu." Do not cook the goat 'in the milk of his mother.' If you translate this literally, literally, what do you understand? There is a little goat and there is the mother that gave birth to him. You want to slaughter both of them? No, you want to slaughter the baby, the goat, and you want to take milk from the mother. You milk her, you take a jar of milk. You want to marinate the meat of the goat in the mother and cook it. That's not allowed, right? According to the literal explanation, you're not allowed to take a piece of meat from the baby, mix it with the milk of the mother, and cook it. Lo tevasher le'di, b'chalevimo, in the milk of his mother. But that's not what God meant. You have to go to the Oral Torah. It's written 3 times in the Torah, this verse. Lo tevashel gibachalevimot 3 times. What do I need 3 times? I understand after one time. Each time, same verse has a different meaning completely. One time, you're not allowed to eat meat and dairy cooked together. It's forbidden to Jews. Second time, if you didn't, if you don't eat it, but you want to cook it for a goy. Ahmed came to you and said, you make me steak and put some milk on it. I want it to be white and soft. You cook it for him, not for yourself. You're not allowed. Because even to mix meat and dairy while you cook for others, you're not allowed. Now what happened if I find a steak you cooked it together, you want to sell it to the goy, to save the money of the meat. It's expensive meat. You just made 10 steaks and they got wet with the milk. You cannot eat it, you know, you are not allowed to cook it, but accidentally you did. Now you want to sell it to the goy. Give me $100, take the 10 steaks. You're not allowed. You want to give it to your dog. You're not allowed. You have to destroy it. One time you're not allowed to eat it, second time you're not allowed to cook it, and third time you're not allowed to enjoy from it if you did it accidentally. So, that's why it's written 3 times in the Torah. Without the Oral Torah, you will never know the meaning of this verse. This is only one out of million examples. For that, you need to sit and learn Gemara for 20, 30 years until you become an expert, and then you know the meaning of every pasuk in the Torah, and you know why God said it and how he said it and why, and you know everything. But that takes many years. It's much, much harder to be a Talmid Chacham than to be a brain surgeon or to be a computer engineer or to be a sharp lawyer. None of that comes near becoming a real Talmid Chacham. The amount of knowledge that you you have to learn in Judaism is about 1,000 times more than what you have to learn to become a great doctor. 1,000 times more. Nobody in the world finished the Torah today. All the rabbis you know, you ask them, you know the whole Torah? They don't know. How much you know? I don't know, 5%, 10%. I wish 10%. They came to Rav Ovadia, I said as a joke, someone asked him, Rabbi, They say you know the whole Torah by heart. He said, don't exaggerate, only half. So half is also impressive. Which one? Which half? He said, whichever one you want. But that's a joke. In reality, in today's generation, we don't have someone that can say, I know everything in the Torah, even the Garon Nivina. That was a super super genius that in 2,000 years you didn't have such a brain in the world. The Gaon of Vilna, 250 years ago. There were two things in Kabbalah that he did not understand. He was willing to go all the way to Eretz Israel, to the Mekubalim of Eretz Israel, just to clarify these subjects, these two subjects in the Torah. And in the end, he did not end up going to Eretz Israel. He went to Amsterdam to look for books. Remember, there was no printed books like today. You had to go and search for the books. It was a disaster. There was no transportation. The Gaon Yivinna, just for these two things— this is someone who knew the whole Torah except two subjects which he could not understand in the Torah. The Gaon Yivinna, he wrote the whole Torah in reverse. 304,805 letters in reverse. Can you write your telephone number in reverse? 10 digits and you don't remember. 300— unbelievable! A brain like the Gaon of Vilna. Everyone in the world didn't say his name. They said the genius, a Gaon, and everybody knew who you're talking about in the whole Jewish world. Why? Nobody ever saw such a brain. Ah, but that is for sure. If you ask HaChamovadia, which was one of the biggest rabbis we had in our generation, you compared to the Gaon Mizvina, he would laugh at us, Rabbi, for even asking this. Nobody today Yeah, you know what? I'll tell you better than that. You take 1,000 big rabbis today, they cannot be equal to the Gaon of Vilna alone. It's unheard of who was the Gaon of Vilna. I'll give you an example. It's off the topic, but if the people already heard the question, I'll give you an example. There was one professor from Padova, Italy. He heard that there is a rabbi in Vilna that all the Jews praise. Gaon, the Gaon, the Gaon, the genius, the genius. He was very curious to see what does it mean, the genius. So he came all the way from Italy to Vilna, to the house of the Gaon in Vilna. And the student over there told him, I'm sorry, you cannot interrupt with the Rabbi learning. He's learning nonstop. He said, I have a letter here from the King in Italy. It's an emergency. I must see the Rabbi. It's a matter of life and death. When they heard that, they let him in. The Gaon of Vilna was learning with the lamb, learning all his life, was learning nonstop. He said to him, Rabbi, I have 70 questions that the king of the goyim sent with me, and they said that the only one who can answer all of them is you. I need you please to tell me the answer that I can go back to Italy because he's threatening the whole Jews that they must come with the answers. He made up that story. So the rabbi told him, okay, read the questions. While he was learning Torah, how do we know the story? The professor, which was the beginning of secular Jews— this was 200 years ago— this professor from the University of Padova was one of the first Jews that went to university because of Moses Mendelssohn. And he now, secular, come to the biggest rabbi in the world to ask him 70 hardest questions that you can ask about religion and life. So the Gaon of Vilna, while he was learning his Maran, he said to him, okay, read the questions. So he thought, maybe he means that I should read all questions, that he should know what this is about, and then we will go one question at a time. He will tell me what to write. So he said to him, read the questions, and And he was reading question 1, question 2, 3, 4. Continue, continue. What is going on here? He read 70 questions. After he finished, he said to him, you ready? I'm ready. I'm giving you the answers. Question 1, 7, 13, 22, 45, 59. Ayin, Si, G'mara, Baba Metzia. Page 9, Medaleh. Baba Batra. Assef HaChabad. Rambam. Shulchan Aruch. This. Navisha. Yatah. Finish. 10. This. That. This. 5 minutes, he told him all the sources. You know, there are 24 books of Judaism. 24 books. Plus the whole Talmud is more than 20 books. You have about more than 50 thick books with millions of words. In less than 5 minutes, he answered him so many questions where to look for the sources while he was in the middle of his learning. The professor wrote in his book, now for the first time in my life I understood what does it mean the Gaon, the genius. I thought we have a genius in the university. Something like this, you don't have anybody in the world that can do such thing. And that's why the Gaon was very, very special. By the way, great, by the way, there was one rabbi that was almost as great. His name was Rabbi Chaim Weisserl. He lived 150 years ago. He was giving 13 classes at the same time. Like me sitting with 13 students in yeshiva, each one of the students I teach different Gemara, and while I'm going from one to the next one and answering him, I had people, possible giving him questions, going to the next one in a whole different topic, third, fourth, fifth, in circles. The Shamash was asking questions in halacha as well. And he also answering. They testify that Rav Chaim Ozer was writing with two hands at the same time, two different subjects. It's like you have two brains. I don't think there's anyone in the world can do such thing. This is testimonies, the people that testify who was Rav Chaim Moishe 150 years ago. Today, unfortunately, the level is not what it used to be. We keep going lower and lower until the Messiah will come. I want to just finish the proof and give one more proof and we'll finish here. So the proof was Jews are allowed to eat everything from the oceans and the rivers. In case you don't know, 72% of the world are water. 72% of the world is water. 28% is land. Oceans, rivers, lakes, huge amount of water. The Torah says 3,300 years ago, everything you pull out of the water, you don't need to recognize it. Maybe it's the first time you see this fish in Alaska, I don't know where. In Canada. You never saw it in your life, but you know the formula. It has fins and scales, you can cut it and eat it. If it doesn't have it, you cannot touch it. When the Torah was written, half of the species that lives today in the water did not even exist. In nature, they keep mixing with each other and creating all all the time new fish, new species. Plus scientists all over the world are mixing between all kinds of brands. They mixing, it's called a khraot. They merging and they creating all the time new fish and new things. The Torah, the oral Torah, the oral Torah, Torah Shekel Peh, say to the Jews 7 words. If you smart, you don't need more than that. You know that the Torah can never be written by human being. Never. Only the one that created the world was able to write the Torah. What does it say? It's a statement. And remember, if you find one mistake in the Torah, the entire Torah is not divine anymore. That's it. What does it say? Kol sheyesh lo kaskeset? Yesh lo snapiir. Everything that you see in his body scales, you will always see next to it fins. Always. There's not one species in nature that have scales and does not have fins. That means that if we would find one snake in the water, there are thousands of different snakes, and you will have scales like the fish that they fall off, and snakes don't have fins, they have tail. That will be the first mistake in the Torah, and after that you will not be able to rely on anything anymore. Maybe tefillin is mistake, maybe Shabbat is mistake, maybe marriage is mistake, maybe tzitzit is mistake. Because once you have one mistake in a book, then you'll be having a doubt that this book was not written by God. And what human being was able 3,300 years ago to write in a book such a promise? Do you know a person that knows 72% of the world simultaneously? You can see all the water, the lakes, the rivers, billions of things are moving in the water, 12 kilometers depth. And plus, don't forget, half of the things that you see today didn't even exist 3,300 years ago. So he's taking a commitment on things that will be created 1,000 years later, that doesn't exist. And he promised everything that have scales must have fins. Must. You have things that have fins but don't have scales. Sharks, dolphins, everybody can see that. But if you find scales, for sure it has fins. Do you know what it means? I'll tell you what it means. You want to buy fish for half the price. You go to Chinatown. Or to the fish market in the Bronx. You see Mr. Lee have a boat with 50 different kind of fish on the ice. You know, they have boxes with ice and you see raw fish. Now you see half a fish. You never saw it in your life. Only half. You see the head and half of the body. Where are the fins? Someone else bought the, the lower part of the fish. A different customer, he took the tail. You don't see the fins and you don't see the tail. What do you see? Head and scales. Now you have only one sign in front of your eyes. Where is the other signs? The fins? The Torah says it needs to have scales and fins. You don't know this fish. You never saw it. It looks purple, red, yellow, I don't know. You never saw in your life this fish, but now you see scales. You tell him, give it to me. You bring it home, your wife says, what are you doing? I never saw this fish. How do you know it's kosher? It has scales. Oh, but it's supposed to have fins. I don't see the fins. You don't need to see the fins. God promised us when he gave us the Torah that everything that he created that have scales, he made sure that it also has fins. Something like that. Only the one that created all the water and all the fish and everything that lives in the water, all the seafood, was able to write such a promise. Now, for those who think that a person wrote the Torah, give me one reason Why a human being 3,300 years ago would write such a promise? He knows he doesn't see all the oceans. He knows he doesn't know all the fish. He knows he cannot control the future. The chance that he will be right for such a guess is 1 to a billion. Why will I risk my book and look like a fool? You see, Muhammad one day came from the desert and said that he is a prophet. "An-Nabi Muhammad," the Arabs call him Prophet Muhammad. But Prophet Muhammad wasn't that stupid. There is not one prophecy in the Quran. He did not write one prophecy in the Quran. Some prophecies he copied from the Jewish prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, from the Torah. Okay, that was written before him. I can also copy this prophecy. Prophecies. Doesn't make me a prophet. But a new prophecy? You don't have even one in the whole Quran. Why Prophet Muhammad did not gamble to write a prophecy in the Quran? Because he knew that one day the time of this prophecy would come and the people would see that I had no idea what I'm talking about and they burn my books. In Christianity, in the New Testament, there is not even one prophecy. In the Torah, there are thousands of prophecies, and all the prophecies that their time arrived in the last 3,300 years ago are all 100% happened in detail. But the prophecies of the Torah are not simple prophecies. They are prophecies that leave no doubt that it was written by God himself. No human being can predict such thing. I'll give you an example. The Torah says, I will send a cruel nation from far away, that their symbol is eagle, and they will come all the way. You will not recognize their language, meaning they're not from your neighbors. From far away. You will not recognize their language. They will be very cruel. They will not have mercy on women and children. They will destroy the Temple. They will put you on boats. They will ship you to Egypt. They will sell you as slaves to the Egyptians, and no one would be even interested to pay for you more than the price of a meal of a horse, meaning $5 of today. I just gave you more than 10 details that every one of them is against all odds, and that's exactly what happened to us with Romans. They came from Italy all the way with the army to destroy the Second Temple 2,000 years ago. If you go to Rome, You see in the Victory Gate, the Jews come with the menorah. It's right there on that gate. You see a picture of the Jews coming, the slaves that they sent. And it's unbelievable. Who wants to ship prisoners to Egypt on the boat? You can make them walk. It's 3, 4 days of walking. Why would you bring boats? Boats and put prisoners on the boat and ship them to Egypt. Let them just walk. You know how difficult it is to bring so many boats. But exactly, and the sign was the eagle. The Russians, eagle. The Nazis, eagle. All the evil empires, eagle. And this was written 3,300 years ago. Nobody knew about that eagle. Eagle is a nation. America is also eagle. America is also eagle. You may ask, America is not so cool. Wait, the movie didn't finish yet. Wait for Kamala and Bernie and their friends and Shakira, what's her name, that Muslim one. Who knows what's going to be in 8 years from now. You want to know one thing. The Jews lived in almost every empire in the world. In the beginning, it was beautiful. In Spain, the Jews were the masters of the land until they slaughtered them and did the Inquisition and the tortures and kicked them out. In Libya, before they kicked them and they ran away to Italy, they were the masters of the land. In Egypt, I don't have to tell you, in the time of Yaakov and Yosef. So the Jews always had a life. Until Hashem made the goyim turn against them. It's a verse in the Torah. I decide when the goyim will be nice to you and when they will be very cruel to you. It's like Hashem has two buttons: like the Jews, hate the Jews. Right now, which button is pressing on? Hate the Jews. See, the antisemitism was on the rise and Jews are not safe in any place in the world. Why? Because we are coming to the end of days now. Now Hashem is going to do things in the world that no one have seen yet. What you saw, the corona and October 7th, it's nothing compared to what's coming. It's going to be a massive war. It's called Gog uMagog. Two-thirds of the people in the world will die in 12 minutes. That's 5 billion people. It will take 7 years to clean their bodies. This is what's coming to the world. And the Gemara already said, if a Jew wants to be safe from this final horrible war, Gog u'Magog, he needs two conditions: Torah and Gemilut Chasadim. To live according to the Torah, keep Torah, learn Torah, and to be generous and kind, to give a lot of charity, to help the poor, to help the widows, to help the shul. To help the rabbis, to help orphans. There are many people that need help. So if a person has Torah and Gemilut Chassadi, he will be saved from the tragedies and the hard days of Gog u Magog. If you are more curious to know more details about the end of days, I have a few very good lectures about it. Put my name in Google, put end of days, Days of Messiah or Resurrection of the Dead, and you can see all the prophecies. I combined them into one lecture. I want to give one more proof and we'll finish here. Then I'll give you some time for questions if you're interested. In Judaism, today we have a calendar. We have a Jewish calendar. That's why we know that Tuesday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We know it in advance. We know years in advance. Who wrote this calendar? The calendar that we have was written by the grandson of Hillel HaShakem. The president of Israel's Sanhedrin, his name was Hillel. He had a grandson years after he passed and he wrote the Jewish calendar. What happened until 1700 years ago? Before we wrote the calendar, how did they know when is Rosh Chodesh, when is Pesach, when is Yom Kippur, when is Shavuot? How did they know? They decided manually, month by month. The Torah says that you have to look at the moon. Once the moon disappeared and reborn, meaning the renewal of the moon begins, that's when the beginning of a new month started. But they don't just guess. The Chachamim, they had calculation when the rebirth of the moon should take place. Amolad. If you go to synagogue on Shabbat, when there is Rosh Chodesh in a week, they announce, like tomorrow in a year, they announce, you know, and the renewal They say the Molad will be on this day, on this minute, and such and such seconds. Today we know it in advance based on mathematical calculation, but in the time of the Chachamim, the Torah says two witnesses have to see the renewal of the moon manually. They have to run to the Jewish court to tell the rabbis that are waiting for this announcement They announce that today is Rosh Chodesh and they begin to count 14 days until El HaSeder. It was done manually. In the meantime, they sent messengers to Jews that live in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, all these places on horses. And the messengers go to make it on time to tell people that Rosh Chodesh was on this date and therefore 'Pessah or Shavuot?' Shavuot, you know, 49 days after Pessah. All you need to tell them when it's Pessah and they already know when Shavuot would be. So that's what they did. Then they say, 'You know what? Let's make a torch on the mountain, big fire, and somebody else would see the fire, he would light his fire all the way to Syria. So we're gonna make a lot of fire. In less than a day everyone will know.' Why should we wait until the horse would arrive all the way to Damascus? The problem is that we had lefty traders already back in time and they wanted people to eat on Yom Kippur and they wanted people to eat hametz on Pesach. So what did they do? They lit the fire a day or two before to confuse the communities of the exile that they would count their own counting and they will eat bread on Pesach. That's what they did. So they saw we cannot rely on them. So this is the way it was. Now, the Torah says, the oral Torah, that one time it was a cloudy day and many witnesses came to the Beit Din and they told the Rabbi, we just saw the renewal of the moon. And Rabban Gamliel was sitting inside the building, inside the building, not outside in the mountains. And he answered them, it's impossible. According to the calculation we have, it cannot be that you saw the renewal of the moon. It's probably very cloudy outside. How did he know? Listen to what he said. This is what I received from my father from my rabbis all the way to Moshe Rabbeinu. From generation to generation, the information is passed verbally. The renewal of the moon can never be less than 29 days and a half and 2/3 of the hour and 73 parts. The calculation of his World is 29 days, everybody knows. And a half, it's 12 hours, right? 12 hours is half a day. Two-thirds of the hour is 40 minutes. And 73 parts, it gives us few more seconds. 3 minutes and few seconds. In Torah and Science, you can see the slide. So the renewal of the moon can never be less. Than 29 days, 12 hours, 43 minutes, and few seconds. If someone will come in 29 days, 12 hours, 41 minutes, that's 2 minutes earlier. You cannot announce Rosh Chodesh yet. Why? Because that's below the minimum. The minimum number that the Gemara says. Now, the Americans, NASA, the space agency NASA, they decided to calculate all the cycles of the moon. And you can see in my film Torah and Science, I show the original document from NASA. The moon-Earth system, they came to 29.5 29.0588. The calculation according to the Gemara is 29.530590. Remember, in the end, 590. The Americans got to 588. That means 2 ten-thousandths of a second difference. Take a minute. Divide it to 10,000 pieces and take 2 pieces out. That's the difference between what's written in the Talmud, in the Oral Torah, to what NASA with billions of dollars budget and thousands of employees, in 30 years of work, they came to 29.530588. Degmarah, 29th point 5:30, 5:90, 5:90, 5:88. The Germans, you know, the Germans are "Yekkes." They're more precise than Americans. If you need to buy an American car or German car, the chance that the German function a little bit better. Why? Because they are "Yekkes." You know what "Yekkes" are? They need to be here at 6, they arrive 10 to 6. It's in their mentality. If you go to a Yekeshul, school of the Yekim, the Germans, the Austrians, they put an atomic clock on the wall because they are arguing about seconds of the day. For instance, when you go to these Ashkenazi shuls, it's not like the Sfaradim. Sfaradim, they want to say, Arvit, Motzei Shabbat, 9:30, 9:25, 9:35, an even number. By the Ashkenazim, 9:21, 9:23, on the minute. So if someone will start 10 seconds earlier, they get very upset. If you're 30 seconds late, they get very upset. So one guy came to the Ashkenazi shul. You know, they say Arvit is 9:21. He came to the Gabbar and he said to him, hey, 9:21, it's Arvit, you know? The Gabai said, "No, now! How dare you, 5 seconds earlier!" This is the Yekes. So the Yekes are more pedantic. They are careful when it comes to doing it right. So they were not trusting the American results. They wanted to check themselves. In 1965 in Berlin, they published the results. What was the result? 29.530599. Not 5— not 5— no, not 589, not 588, 589. One ten thousandth of a second difference. If I will ask you who was right, Hashem or the Germans, I'm sure you know the answers. But in one of my lectures about 6, 7 years ago, one person came to me and said, you should update your notes. They already updated the number to 590. I never saw the document, that's why I cannot promise. But whether they did it, whether they didn't do it, it's not relevant because we know that when the Talmud wrote 2,000 years ago that the renewal of the moon can never to be less than 29 days, 5.530590, that's 100% divine information. And if the Torah would make a mistake, we would have Rosh Chodesh in a wrong, in a wrong time, a day earlier or a day later. Remember sunset, sunrise, all these things, it's matters of minutes, minutes. It could be sometimes the baby is born, if he would be born 2 more minutes later, his brit would be on Shabbat. But he was born 2 minutes earlier, the brit will be on Friday. 2 minutes, it makes a difference if you make a brit on Shabbat or not. Rabotai, I only gave you, I don't know, 5, 6 proofs today. I have hundreds. Hundreds. If you want to see more information, just put my name, put Torah and Science. It's a 4-hour film with videos and music and proofs one after the other. Then I have Torah and Science Part 2, another 3 hours. And plus I have many lectures about knowledge in the Talmud, which are many, many lectures about these topics. How the Chachamim knew about medicine, how they cure eyes, How they knew about the air? How they knew about all kinds of things that today, even today, nobody knows how they do. The Gemara says that David HaMelech, King David, he lived 3,000 years ago. He used to cut the feet of his soldiers in certain— he made certain cuts in the bottom of their feet and eliminate the nerve system. That the soldiers run in a war they step on thorns, on hot stones, on painful stones, they can bleed, they don't feel anything. Nobody knows how to do it. To eliminate the nerve system, to make specific cuts in certain places. This is the Gemara describes it. The Gemara said, Chachamim, the rabbis performed a surgery on Rabbi Elazar, the son of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. He was very, very fat, very fat. The size was like 3 people. And they took 2 big buckets of fat from his stomach. That's called liposuction. That was before Ozempic. So there were 2 big buckets of fat in the month of Tammuz, which is July-August. And they performed the surgery on marble. Why the Gemara said that the operation was on marble? I don't know if you know a little bit about infections and stuff. Marble is the easiest thing to clean. It's the most sterilized stone in nature. So the Chachamim already 2,000 years ago, they knew that when they perform a surgery, has to be marble. Of course, they clean it well and they perform a surgery and they took 2 buckets of fat out of his stomach. Even today when they do liposuction surgery, some people died in the middle. The Chachamim said that Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi didn't see well. They made a special paste. They told him, put it in the back of your head, sleep all night. Through the night it will penetrate the brain and fix your eyes. By the morning he saw already perfect. How many surgeries you have to do today? Laser, contact lenses. I have lectures about remedies in the Talmud, unbelievable things, hard to believe. Also the ability of the Chachamim, some of the things they say even today, like for instance, there is a surgery to remove the spleen. No one in the world knows how to do it today. The Gemara says that they used to remove splints from people. Why? If you remove the splint, a person can run forever. He never gets tired. He's not going out of breath. Soldier can run and run. He doesn't need a horse. They knew to do things back then that today nobody knows. Yes, today there are things that the doctors do that they didn't know back then. It works both ways. But Kabbalah It was a generation with no electric, no computers, no telescopes, none of the things. You know, I want to tell you something. How many years since they invented microscope? Who knows? No, much more than 20 years. How many years they have microscope that you can see germs? Ah? If you don't know, don't get bored. You can Google it, I don't mind. Now I want to tell you something. The Gemara says, "Do not drink from the leftover drink of your first glass." It's pikuach nefesh, it's life risk. I want to remind you, this was written 2,000 years ago, that there was nobody in the world who knew about germs. Haidakin. Nobody knew until less than 200 years ago there was such a thing, Haidakin. Germs, microscopic Haidakin. There was no microscope, there was no way to know. But the Chachamim already knew from Hashem, it passed from generation to generation, that if I drink my tea and I leave it on the table and someone else will drink what's left from my mouth, he can die from it. How can he die and not I won't die? So the Chachamim knew that these germs can kill one person but not the other. His body will be immune to it and the other person can get sick and not be immune to that. The Chachamim say you're not allowed to put metal where the animals are because it's darkei emori, it's kishuf, it's a witchcraft of the Amorites. The Amorites used to put metal and then multiply the amount of sheep that will be born. Instead of 50, they will have 70 in a month. They are Herkishufim, they go in. Witchcraft is against the Torah and not allowed to do it. But the Mishnah said, but if you do it to save the animals from the lightning, it's permitted. This was written 2,000 years ago. Who got the credit for inventing the concept of having metal in a tall place in the city to protect the people from the lightning? Benjamin Franklin. He lived more than 200 years ago. He was not the President of the United States like some people think. His face was on a very old $100 bill from 30 years ago. Benjamin Franklin. He was a politician and a big scientist. He is the one that discovered that metal in a top place in the town will attract the lightning, and instead of killing and burning the people, it will go and hit the metal on the roof of the tallest building. That means that he knew that the lightning is magnetic. That's why you gotta put metal, and it's magnet, magnet. The lightning has metal in it, and it goes to where metal is. Metal goes to metal. It's magnetic. But in a Gemara, it's written 2,000 years ago, if you do it to multiply the sheep, it's against the Torah. But if you put metal to protect the sheep from the lightning, it's allowed. And I can show you hundreds of things like these that our Chachamim knew in the Talmud that it took us 2,000 years to discover. I have a lot of lectures about it. It's very interesting. But we cannot do everything in one night, so for tonight it's enough. Any questions about what we spoke? Please. So I've heard from Rabbi Rechterowitz a lecture where he talks about the age of the Earth. And so he was saying something about us being in the 7th cycle, which is approximately 5,000 years, and then it goes into saying 35,000, and basically that one year basically equals to 360— No, no, I tell you what you want to say. According to Kabbalistic books, There is a concept in the Torah of Shnat Shmita. It's on the Parasha this Shabbat. You can see we're reading it. Shnat Shmita. That means that every 6 years, the 7th year is a year that you let the land rest. You don't plow the ground, you don't put seeds, you don't cut anything. You leave it and the poor people come, they take the fruits for free. You're not allowed to take care of the the field. The field needs 1 year of rest. How many year cycles like this there would be? 7. 7 times 7. After 49 years, the 50th year, it will be Yovel. That's when all the land goes back to the original owner. You blow the shofar, you release the slaves. It's a special year every 50 years after 7 times 7 comes a special year, it's called Shnat Yoveh. But the Kabbalistic books from hundreds of years ago, they say that this is a secret to how many worlds Hashem created and destroyed before our world. And this world is the 7th one. That means Hashem created worlds and destroyed them already 6 times before us. According to Kabbalah, the souls that were in past worlds were transferred into this world. Some became people, some became animals. There's a whole Kabbalistic secrets about it. But the concept is that each world was 6,000 years and the 7,000 and it was destroyed. And this world is the same thing. Hashem said that this world, for every day of the creation, there will be 1,000 years. Since the world was created in 6 days, each day will be 1,000 years, will be 6,000 years. And then come the 7,000. From 6,000 to 7,000, that's after the Messiah came, and there will be the resurrection of the dead. And there is no more people that dying, there's no more birth, there's no more even inclination, nobody has to work for money, everyone will have plenty as much as they want, there will be no sicknesses, there will not be angry people and jealous people and lazy people because there's not gonna be Yetzer Hara, it's not gonna be even inclination. And once this world would finish, There will be the Shnat Yovel, 7 times 7, right? 6 worlds, 6 times 7 is 42 years, and plus 7 years, 7,000 years, together 49,000 years. And in the 50,000, it will be the end of material, meaning after the 1,000 years that we're gonna be here, only the righteous people will stay. Someone that's not shomer Shabbat will not survive in the days of Mashiach. It's written in the Torah, "V'nichmechalel Shabbat, mort yumat, v'nichretan efesh hayim eameah." Someone that doesn't keep Shabbat will be put to death in this life earlier than when he was supposed to die, but the main death will be in the next life. Mort yumat. He will be put to death and will die again. How can you die twice? After you die in this world physically, then you will die, God forbid, spiritually. That's called, "Venichreta anefesh hayim eamea." That soul, I will cut that soul permanently from my nation. That's the reason why we make a lecture like this tonight. Not just to show you that the Torah is divine and it's beautiful and there is a God and he runs the world and the Jewish people are the chosen people and he gave us the Torah and how lucky we are. This is all true, but what are the consequences of these? That if you don't live according to the Torah, you will lose everything. And if you live according to the Torah, you will gain everything for eternity. And if you want to know where it's written in the Torah that we will have life of eternity? The answer is in 2 days. You will read it in Shabbat in the synagogue. Go to the synagogue when they read Parasha Trehé. It's written over there, Le'ativ lecha u'levanecha ad olam. I will reward you and your children after you for eternity for following my Torah and my commandments. So that means a person that does not keep the Torah and the commandments and ignore God would lose that eternal reward. Also, it's written in a Parasha we read last Shabbat, Parasha Ekev. What's written over there? "I am strict with you, I'm sometimes torturing you to test you that I should reward you in your end." When the test in this world will end, That's when the reward will begin. When the soul comes out of the body, the body goes to the grave, and the soul goes to spiritual world, and it's unbelievable. I will finish with one sentence. Don't ever forget it for the rest of your life. If you remember this sentence from tonight, it's worth it. Just that alone. Listen carefully. If you take all the pleasure of all the people from the creation of this world until the end of this world. 6,000 years of billions of people, billions of people, an average life 70, 80, 90 years. All the pleasure you can imagine, money, gold, vacations, sports, women, jewelry, art, whatever you can think of. Make a huge pile of pleasure, food, delicious food, nice clothing, cars, boats, ocean, I don't know, you name it. Put all the pleasure that people had in their entire life multiply by billions of people, multiply by 78 years of each person, it's a mountain all the way from here to the Sun of pleasure. You cannot imagine the amount of pleasure of billions of people, of 78 years of life, every minute, every second, every hour. It's an unlimited list. All of that will not be equal to the reward of the righteous Jews and righteous Gentiles. It's in a different level, but they also have a share in the World to Come, the righteous Gentiles. But we're speaking about Judaism right now. It will not be equal to one hour of the pleasure of the soul of a kosher righteous Jew in the afterlife. One hour in the next world is already greater in the amount of pleasure than all the pleasure of all the people of the entire 6,000 years of life in this earth. Where does it say it? Yafa sha'ah achat shel korat ruach. Ba'olam aba, mikol chayer olam hazeh. One hour of what will happen to your soul in the next world is greater than this entire world combined. What does it mean? What will happen to your spirit? Koreh, it means what's going to happen to your soul in the next world? In one hour, it's already greater than thousands of years of pleasures of billions of people. And the next world is eternity. It never ends. Not like here, you have a pleasure of 5 minutes and you relax. It's over. You pay an hour, it's over. You pay another half an hour, it's over. What's the longest pleasure you can have in this world? Half an hour, an hour, 2 hours, that's it. After you enjoy too much physical pleasure, you want to vomit. You eat, you eat the same food, you can't look at it anymore. But the next world, it's spiritual pleasure of the soul. Yoshvim tzadikim v'atrotem le'Hashem, vene'enim iziv Hashchina. The righteous people are sitting in heaven with a special spiritual crown and enjoy the greatness of God. Ask me, what is the greatness of God? The answer is I cannot even imagine it. I can't imagine it. But one thing I do know, I can swear on my life, that nothing in this world can even near it. The greatness of God directly, you suck directly like a baby wants the milk from his mother. It's the greatest thing for him right now. Like honey was dripping. You enjoy from Ziv Hashchina, and people that are not shomer Shabbat will not have it. Thieves will not have it. People that the wife do not go to the mikveh will not have it. Homosexuals will not have it. Rabotai, someone that's an idol worshiper will not have it. There is a list of criminals in the Torah that they will not get there. Because the Torah wrote next to the crime that the punishment is, "Venichretah anefesh ayi me'ameah." Venichretah, and I will cut that soul out of the Jewish nation. It's a privilege to be born as a Jew. We have tonight here people that were not born Jewish. They chose to be Jewish. They sacrificed a lot to be Jewish. They fought very much. They moved. They changed their atmosphere. They changed their people. They separated from their old family and friends. They moved from town to town or from state to state. And they also paid money. It's expensive to be Jewish. You need to buy everything. A place in a Jewish society, in a Jewish neighborhood, close to the synagogue. The rent is double or triple. I don't have to tell you how it is. But they knew, they were smart. Even though they could have stayed righteous Gentiles and go to heaven of Gentiles, they didn't want to settle on less. They said, "I don't mind. This world is a blink of the eye. 60, 70, 80 years and it's over. Why should I settle for 10, 20% if I can go for 100%? I will come there!" But some of them just felt they must be Jewish. I want to be attached to the Torah. As a Gentile, I'm not allowed to learn Torah? Or what? Only parts of it I can learn? The rest of the Torah I'm not allowed to learn? Why should I be limited? And they converted and they are mamash religious Jews today. And the Torah says 36 times to love them, to respect them, to admire them, not to cheat them, not to take advantage of them, not to torture them. 36 verses how to love the converts and not take advantage of it. You had a question? Last question for tonight. Remember it or no? Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. So you said all the pleasure of this world, all of it, is not even an hour in God's eyes, right? Not even an hour. Not I say, God say. Yeah, right. So is there any such statement about all the suffering? Oh, there is few verses that speaks about the suffering in the Torah. First, it's written last week, Parasha Ekev, it's written, "Just like a father is strict with a son and brings him sometimes suffering, takes away certain things from him out of love to him, because he doesn't want to see him losing control of his life, that's how your God is strict with you. And it's written also, as I said before, I am, I'm strict with you, I'm torturing you, to test you, to reward you in your end. Now you should know, there is nothing greater in life than suffering. Everyone is hating suffering, everyone is avoiding suffering, Everyone is doing everything they can not to have suffering. But if they knew how the suffering in life takes away all their sins and makes their file cleaner by the day, they would ask for more suffering. And I will finish with a story and you get the point. One Jew was walking in the forest and one Ukrainian Cossack Nazi came, saw a Jew, religious Jew, with a stick. He started to beat him up. As he's beating up the Jew and the Jew is holding the stick and he's fighting for his life, "He's gonna kill me, this Nazi." The king and his soldiers just showed up. And the king saw that one citizen is beating up the other. "Hey, what are you doing?" "What do you care? He's a Jew." He didn't recognize the king. He didn't dress with a crown. He was hunting. And he said, "What do you mean he's a Jew? He's a member of this country. You're beating him up? Arrest him!" Wow, he just realized it's the king. "Oh, Your Majesty, I'm so sorry. Forgive me." They took him to jail in the palace and the Jew is all broken now, bleeding. They also took him to the house of the king and they tried the doctor of the king. He's taking care of the Jew for a week. Eyes, cast, all of that. After the juhil, the king decided to make a trial now. He asked the goy, the Cossack, how many times you hit the Jew? Now he was afraid that maybe the king was all alone there watching. He didn't want to lie. Approximately 100 times. He asked the Jew, is it true? The Jew says, just about it. 100 times he hit me. So he said, the king said to the Ukrainian Cossack, for every time you hit him, you must pay him 1,000 rubles. Therefore, you have to give him by tomorrow 100,000 rubles. If you don't give it to him, I'll take your home, take everywhere you have, I give it to him, and I'll hang you. Okay, okay, Your Majesty, okay. He ran quickly, got all his money from his friends, from his brothers, and he brought all the gold to the Jew, the ruble. And the Jew, when the king said that he has to give him 100,000 rubles, the Jew started to cry. So the king asked him, why are you crying, Mr. Jew? I wasn't a fair judge? He said, no, Your Majesty, you're a great, honest, righteous judge. I'm not complaining about you. So why are you crying? I'm crying how stupid I am. If I knew while he was beating me up, that every shot is 1,000 rubles, I would not resist. I would say, "Faster, you fool! Why are you so slow? Hit me harder!" I was fighting the suffering. I had no idea that this suffering would bring me so much profit. And that's, by the way, the story of life. And it's written in many verses Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you for organizing everything here tonight.
