Kosher Unity and Non-Kosher Unity - Current Events and Future Analysis
A speaker argues that unity, illustrated through kosher and non-kosher models, determines success or failure in families and nations. He warns of an impending U.S. dollar collapse from debt and China tariffs, links economic crisis to moral decay and loss of Jewish unity, and calls for collective responsibility and divine providence.

Also, this week is the yahrzeit of the Rambam and Rabbi Yaakov Avuchatzer as well. Baruch Hashem. Last week on Monday, we were not sure still if this horrible hostage deal will go through or not. There's no guarantee, you know, with the Hamas. You never know until the last second. You don't believe it until you see it. Apparently the deal was so good for them that even those fools did not mess up. However, they did one big mistake, that when they released the three girls Hundreds of them with their guns started to scream their usual garbage. And the whole world understands who we're dealing with. This is the world, as much as they hate the Jews, they are very afraid of them. With them, with us, they hate us, but they're not afraid of us. We're not going to put bombs in the place. Or occupied Europe or shoot people on the street or burn their homes. We're not a threat to them. They just say that for jealousy, for different reasons. "Esav son Eliyahu," this is the will of God, that we will always be isolated and the world will be always giving us hard time. This is the way Hashem designed the world from thousands of years ago. But with Ishmael, with this Pere Adam, they are very, very afraid from them. They see what they do to them now in Europe, and they now waking up and starting to vote for right-wing leaders, border Nazis, you know, because they understand that the only way to save themselves is to start fighting this extreme Muslim terrorist who occupied Europe. Millions of them. When they see how they scream, all of them with their guns and with their trucks, how they drive, there's no difference than looking at ISIS or al-Qaeda or them. The whole world understands who we're dealing with. Take this and now the fact that Trump is going into power and finally officially today became a president. And all his government, all of them are extreme rightist pro-Israel people. Now it's an opportunity to fight them to the end until they will have to run away from Gaza. But unfortunately, because of the stupid deal that now they're gonna— the way they do it, they give you every week 3, 3, 4, And then in the end, 12. So to get the 33 people, it will take you about a month and a half. And that's cooling off the war. The war is now on hold. And then they did another tricky thing. It disturbs me very much to see that these murderers are smarter than all these educated Israelis that sit in the government. Probably never went to school a day in their life, these terrorists. But they are 1,000 times smarter than all these Netanyahu and all these stupid friends. They designed— they were on their knees. You killed all their leaders. You evacuated more than 1 million of them. They live in tents. 72% of the buildings in Gaza are destroyed. They have no place to be. They have no power. They have few thousand active terrorists left. You need 2, 3 more months to finish the job. Why you don't finish the job? You're afraid of the life of the hostages. They did such a trick that they pulled the hostages and put them all over for us to be afraid to wipe out every building there. Because of these hostages, hundreds of soldiers died. Please don't forget that. Hundreds of soldiers died just because they were searching from home to home, from building to building for hostages under the ground. Otherwise, there was no need to let the soldiers go in. He just wiped out the building by one bomb, which cost $2,000. For $2,000, you knock down the whole building. Why would you put 50 soldiers inside that almost every time 2, 3, 5 of them will get killed? To look for the hostages. You see, you need to be clever. Everyone's heart is broken to see the suffering of the hostages, whether they died or whether they are alive and being abused. Of course, it's normal. My heart breaks as well, not less than Netanyahu's heart or any one of his government members. Not less than the heart of the lefty liberal fools, these wicked traitors who for some reason can care less that the religious soldiers die. It doesn't even bother them a bit. They don't care to see hundreds of soldiers with yarmulke on their head that they died. When they see settlers being killed or being burned or somebody shoot them in the car, a mother and her children, their reaction is they deserve it. Who told them to be next to Gaza? When they kill the lefty liberals next to Gaza, they make a lot of noise. But when they kill religious people, they are happy. They are happy. So they do not come to tell us morality. We feel very bad for these hostages. We don't need them to give them, to give us a mark if we feel bad or not. We know how we feel. But why should we sacrifice hundreds to save 30, 40, or 50? Why? Where is the logic here? It's going to be much more painful to lose 400 or 500 soldiers for 30 or 40 hostages. Not to talk about the fact that now you lost Gaza again. Million Nazis came back and they're all going to rebuild Gaza and you're done. What are you going to do? You're going to build the tunnels again? Money they have unlimited. Unlimited. Workers— every Arab is a construction worker. Do you understand? Every man in Gaza is working in construction. Or included, even Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, was a painter and a construction worker for Moroccan Israelis in Israel before he became a terrorist. He was working in Israel as a worker. Every one of them, Sinwar, all of them worked in constructions. The Arabs are built to be construction workers. They strong, they lift. Bricks, they lift the Jerusalem stone, 5, 6 of them. They lift it up. They are built for jobs. They are physically fit, physically strong. We cannot do this job. You take an Israeli spoiled guy from Tel Aviv, tell him, I give you $2,000 a day working construction, after 3 days he will run away. We're not built for it. In the cold, in the heat. They work in construction and they work hard. They come at 7 AM until 4:30. They work, mamash, like slaves. They're very strong. What they can do, you cannot do. They lift big bags of cement. It's 150 pounds a bag. They lift it like I lift this bottle. Told you once the story that I was trying to lift One Jerusalem brick. That's how thick it is, like the Tanakh. And it's long like this. And it's wide like this. You know, it's like lifting the weight, like 10 books, 15 books maybe. One brick. It's heavy. I was trying to lift one and I was already feeling my back is about to pull a muscle or something. This Arab was laughing. "Move, move, zoos, zoos." Put 5 of them, 5 or 4, one on top of the other, lifted like you lift a cornflakes bag. You know the cornflakes box? Picked it up, walked around. "Eh, Fatah Rotze, where you want me to put it?" "Put it over here." No problem whatsoever. So they're all construction workers. You have 200,000 or 300,000 men there. They're all builders. Now you give them Parnassa for the next 5 years. They're gonna work. Iran's gonna pay. Qatar is gonna pay. They're not worried about this. And they don't worry about the suffering of their people that they're gonna live in tents. They force them not to leave. A lot of them have relatives in Europe, in Canada, in Arab countries. In Jordan, in Egypt. They could have gone to their relatives. They threatened their life. They catch one of their kids, they say, "If you're gonna leave Gaza, if you're gonna leave the tents and you're gonna go to Europe or you're gonna go to Canada, we'll kill your son. We'll burn him alive." And force them to stay. Why? Because they use them. They want to bring them back to fill up the area again with them. And like this, they hide behind them. They use them as human shield. They don't care about them. The more civilians die, the happier they are, the Hamas. It's not like us. One civilian die by us, everyone is depressed for days. For one. When we hear on the news one soldier die, one civilian die, it breaks the heart of everyone. All day you're not in the mood. This is the difference between us and them. By them, if only 20 died in an attack, they are upset. "Rav, it's only 20, should be 200." Why? Because they run to the world, "Look what they doing to us! Genocide!" Somebody sent a picture that is split to half and half. The genocide of the Jews, they came out of the camps from the Nazis. They all look like skeletons. Like the tripods here, and the genocide of the Palestinians. All heavy, fat, big gorillas. They just finished the genocide, huh? They eat a lot of kebab, a lot of shishlik, a lot of labneh and pita and zaatar and olive oil. All the humanitarian aid, they took everything to themselves. And not only that, they sold it like in the black market. So the rest of the civilians who wanted food, they didn't get it for free. The Americans and Europeans brought it there. They steal everything. They rob the trucks. They eat for themselves whatever they want, and the rest they sell for 10 times more. So the little that they had, the other civilians, for working in Israel in construction, They had to waste all their savings in the last year and a half to get food. And then in the end, we are the cruel ones, not them, for what they are doing to their own people. This is the situation here. Now it's going to be very hard to kick a million of them back to the tents. They have to start all over again from the beginning. All of that to release these hostages. Most likely it won't happen. I don't believe that Netanyahu will have the strength to restart everything from square one. To start again, to attack, to look for them, to look for the terrorists, to announce that all the civilians have to go back to the tents. I don't believe it. On the other hand, there's still a chance just because of the government of the United States. Like I told you, they are all with the ideology of Rabbi Meir Kahana, extreme righties. They hate the Hamas more than the Israeli hate them. And it's not an exaggeration. Every one of his government. Every one of them. Now they publish, they want to send them to Indonesia. Indonesia, it's a Muslim country. Did you know that Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world? You barely hear about them because they're not Arabs. They are different Muslims. These other, all these oriental that became Muslims with the history. So you don't hear from Indonesia attacks, terror, anything like that. My guess, the Arabs wouldn't want to live in Indonesia. They are— the Indonesians are not Arabs. And if they will agree, because after all it's a Muslim country, they have mosque, Quran is the same more or less. If they will agree, they won't want to go back to Gaza once they move. So that could be a brilliant idea. Tell them, listen, you're going to have to live in a tent. It's going to take a long time to rebuild Gaza. What are you going to do with your children? Live another 2 years in a tent? We will arrange for your flight to Indonesia. We will build for you caravans. We will spend $2-3 billion. We'll make for you tens of thousands of caravans. Each family will have their own caravan. We'll get you water. We'll get you food over there. No one will throw bombs on you. Many of them would want to move, but the Hamas won't let them. So what do you have to do? You have to go back and start hunting the Hamas again. And while you are doing it, send all the civilians— again, I use the word civilians because this is the language that the media use, but in my opinion, there are no civilians. Everyone is a terrorist. Everyone. You saw the kids. You saw how they all scream around the girls, 12 years old, 10 years old kids. They already have machine guns from a very young age. There is no such thing civilians. Even the women, they are happy about October 7th. They are very happy to murder Israel. Some of them actively murder. Some of them raise their children with the brainwash to become murderers of Jews. You can barely find people in Gaza that don't have a Nazi ideology. Barely, maybe 3%, not even. So the world is a fool, think, oh no, it's only Hamas. What do you mean it's only Hamas? Hamas was elected by the people. And even now you saw how the people come to cheer for Hamas. Nothing has changed and nothing will ever change. Their hate to the Jews is beyond Anything. Give them any suffering, any amount of suffering, any amount of money lost, hunger, children will die, their homes will be bombed, they would live years in a tent with no water and no electric, they will freeze to death and they will be very happy. Why? We are doing it for our, our mission. What's our mission? To kill Jews. That's it. Now I want to ask you, is it normal? I told you once, if you tell the Nazis, you want to kill 100,000 Jews, press this button. But before you press the button, you know, you lose your arm. You're going to have only one hand. 100,000 Jews will be gassed, but you're going to have to lose your arm. He won't agree. The Nazi wouldn't agree. The SS soldier, the Eichmann, they won't agree. You come to Hitler himself, tell him you want to kill 100 Jews with the press of a button, but you're going to stay with one hand or with one leg, or you lose one eye or you lose one ear. He won't agree. Some of them won't even agree to kill them even if they lose a tooth. They won't agree. As much as I hate them, I love myself. But with the Arabs, it's not like that. Oh, you're talking to me about losing an arm? I want to lose my life. Can I also bring my children to hug me when we explode? All of us together will go to heaven. If we could only see the shock they will get when they see where they really go. That will be amazing. I want to tell you something. If there was a way, if there was a way to make a video of what happened to them when they entered the court of heaven in front of Hashem, and they will understand the nonsense and the brainwash that they give them, all these Muslim murderers, to think that there are 72 virgins are waiting for them, and when they see where they really go, A ticket for such a video would be worth a million dollars. To see their face when they realize that they're not going to get what they dreamed about. But I have news for you. Even if you were able to film such a video and you put it all over Gaza and you show them that they're going to hell, which Auschwitz was a picnic compared to what's waiting for them, they will still do exactly what they are doing right now. Because their hatred to the Jews and their desire to kill Jews regardless of the reward, the heaven is just the cherry on the icing. But regardless, even if— because you see they're getting hell now and they're still doing it. What do they think after October 7th, that they're going to get claps? Maybe we're going to throw them some $100 bills from the airplanes for murdering 1,200 of our people in 2 hours? What do they think is coming for them? They know what's coming. It's not the first round. For a lot less, they got a disaster there. For this, they know what's coming for them. It doesn't matter. There will be another October 7 if they can, and it will be a lot worse. And everything you did to them, even if they will build everything in 5 years from now, Gaza will be Switzerland. It's going to build new buildings. It's going to look very nice. All beautiful buildings, not the old-fashioned that some buildings had. It's gonna be all built with Saudi money and Qatar money and European money. And there will be another round and everything will be destroyed again. And they know it. And it's worth it for them. They would leave their mansions and their fancy apartments that they will get now for free to go back to tents with no electric. Why? Because we kill Jews. So you worry about the next world? They're willing to take any amount of suffering just for the mission. What is the mission? Just to kill Jews, regardless of Israel, regardless of the land. If they have to do it in Europe, they'll do it in Europe. What do you think? So don't let anyone fool you. That's the situation right now. We're back to square one. I really, I think that one thing that we can, we should really be upset for is, remember that Trump said a month ago, when I get into an office, if the hostages will not be free, hell is coming to them, to the Hamas. He saw the Hamas are not afraid of him. They laugh in his face. The last thing you want is to take someone with such ego like Trump and laugh in his face when he warns you. Because now you know that whatever he wanted to do to you will be 10 times worse for that smile. Why? Oh, you're not counting me? You don't take me serious? You're insulting me. You're insulting me. I'll chase you to the end of your life. It will never let go. Why? That's how it is when you have a lot of pride. That's why Sleepy Joe today, hours before he left his home, gave pardon to all his relatives, any one of them, even people who have nothing to do with Trump, because he knew that he's going after everyone who supported him. And he's gonna go after them and turn their life into hell. So he gave them hanina, he pardoned them, and he wrote, this is not saying that they committed any crime, but because I know that he's gonna look for revenge near me or everyone that is dear to me, in advance I give them hanina. Why? Because I don't want them to go to the hell that he's preparing for them. A lot of these lefty Jews don't know yet what's coming for them. All these prosecutors who went after him one after the other, all these liberals that are— they are our enemies. They are the enemies of the Jewish nation. And they are obviously his enemies as well. Let's wait what's waiting for them. Wait just to see what he's going to do to them. So if he wants the Hamas and and Hamas will not release the hostages, he will not leave them alone. And they know it. They're not stupid. They know who they're dealing with. And they still didn't release them. So when he saw that, he turned his anger, rage against Netanyahu and put the pressure on him to surrender and sign on a deal. Why? Because the hostages must be released, as I said. It's because of that you see this lousy deal and 1,900 murderers are being released. Just because of that. Because in Israel, the fight, the argument will still go on. The same deal they offered in May and nobody agreed to sign on it. How all of a sudden now they signed on it? He left them no choice. I can assume, and also spoke to a few people in the government, that he also told them, don't worry, just do it for now. I'll make it up to you. First, I can tell you from what I know, I will release all the weapons that Biden stopped. You're going to get tons amount of bombs and everything that they didn't give you. Right away I sign, first day that I move into the office, it's going to be on the way to you. That's number one. Number two, I will help you with the attack in Iran a lot more than he would help you. He would not help besides defense in case the Iranians would shoot. He will try to shut down the missiles, but he would not help attacking in Iran, and he wouldn't give you all the special bombs that you need. I will give you everything you need to finish up Iran. That's another incentive. Remember, candies with children. You threaten them that in case they do something wrong, they will be punished. But at the same time, you have to also promise them incentive. But if you do what I tell you, I'll give you candy, I'll give you ice cream. So he gave them a list of things. First, he removed all the bans that the liberal Biden and his friends put on all the settlers, all the religious settlers that fight the Arabs on a daily basis. They put sanctions against them. They defend themselves from the Hamas terrorists, and Biden put sanctions on them. Don't be surprised. You can act like it's a surprise, but there's nothing to be surprised here. So right away, cancel everything. Plus, he told them that after all the hostages will be released, Hamas will not be in control. I'm giving you my word. How are they not going to be in control? They right away came back to all their positions now. And they filled up all their army with all the terrorists they died, they got new ones. They're back to the same amount of terrorists, 40,000 armed terrorists. The 15,000 of them that died, they are already replaced with others. So you didn't achieve anything. You have the same Hamas like before. The only thing they don't have right now is the tunnels, and they have less weapon. But that's a matter— the weapon will take 2 months, 3 months to fill up the same amount that they had. And the tunnels takes a long time to build. It took them 20 years to build all these tunnels. So give them another 10, 20 years, they're going to have the same amount of tunnels. So what did you do? Nothing. You achieved nothing. So Trump said, no, Hamas will not be in charge. Will he keep his word? We will wait and see. We will know in 2, 3 months. Will he let us continue the war? I very much doubt it. I think he's going to tell them enough, let's Stop it. If they will start shooting rockets again, then you leave them to me. Maybe that one. But to start again from where we left, he's going to say to Netanyahu, enough. What do you need this? For us, Rabotai, in Israel, the war is very, very painful. It's not just that people dying every day. It's not that they're shutting down the country with their rockets and missiles and you hear sirens every day. Airlines don't fly to Israel. You cannot get a flight. You have to pay $5,000 with a lot in the last 6 months to get a flight. People that someone died, their father, their mother, their brother in Israel, they had to go see Shiva in Israel. They needed to buy a ticket from now to tomorrow. It was minimum $5,000 a ticket, which normally is $1,200. 4 times more. And they take advantage on you. Why? There's nothing, there's no competition. It's been going on already 4 years like this. No, the airlines don't fly. Look, United and Delta, they still do not renew their flights to Israel. Even now when it's all quiet, there's no more missiles, Lebanon is finished, nobody shoots from Gaza, they still don't come. Why? Because the decision is not based on the risk. The decision is based on antisemitism. Pure antisemitism. There are people in a board of Delta Airlines and United Airlines that are antisemites. And they enjoy to torture us as a part of their solidarity with these terrorists. Just like the rest of the Europeans and many Americans. They make money, so what? They are so rich. Israel is not exactly going to make that much of a difference in their earnings. It's true, it's a very profitable line from New York to Israel. It's one of the most profitable lines, it's true. But they have so many thousands of flights every day. So they'll have 5 flights late, late, less. It's not gonna be, you know, it's like someone who makes a million dollars here is gonna make 990, 990. But it will punish his enemy. He's willing to lose this money because it gives him a lot of pleasure. You know the story where the one Eliyahu Hanavi came to one person and said to him, today is your lucky day. Everything you will ask me, I will give you right now everything, but whatever you ask, I'll give you, but I'll give your enemy across the street double. So if you ask a million, I'll give you a million, but I'll give him 2 million. If you ask for home, I'll get you the home, I'll get him 2 houses. So the guy said, oh yeah, that's how it goes. 'Please poke one of my eyes. I can manage with one.' Now you go and poke both of his eyes. He's willing to suffer so much to see his enemy suffer twice, double. You understand? And you know, you know how it is in life. I can give you unlimited amount of examples how people willing to lose money and time and anger and frustration to torture someone they hate or they're jealous with. Could be in a family also. Can be a brother and a brother, brother and a sister. It can be, it happens all the time. I have my friend, he's Avbedin, you know, the one that writes my special tefillin. He's the head of the court in Beit Shemesh. He tells me stories from what's happening in a Bedouin court. A lot of the cases are inheritance. How people come and bury each other for lousy amount of money. Brother, brother and sister. Hard to believe. You know, it's not only by secular people. Is there a Bedouin for religious people? People come there with yarmulke and beard and fight for money and lies and make stories and sometimes fake documents. What is it for? What? For $100,000, for $200,000, for a house. Unbelievable. Hashem yatzilenu. On Shabbat, we started the Second Book of Moses. We finished Bereshit, Genesis. We started Exodus, Shemot. Remember last Monday I told you we finished the story with the three fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Now we are talking about the time that the Jewish nation went into Egypt. Yaakov came with 70 people, including Yosef and his children. And you have it, 70 people. And in few generations, in 210 years, it became millions, around 3 million. But it really became 15 million. 70 people in 210 years, which is about 8 generations, 8 or 9 generations, became 15 million. How 15 million? Only 3 million came out because 80% died in the darkness. 1 out of 5. So a minute before we came out of Egypt, in the 9th plague, Just before Hashem killed the firstborns, the Egyptians, there was a week of darkness. And then this week Hashem killed all those Hebrews who did not want to go out of Egypt. Why? Because they said, ah, we're not built now for journey into the desert. We suffered enough in slavery. We will worship Hashem over here. Please don't take us. And Hashem said, "Ani Hashem Elokechem, asher otseti etchem eretz Mitzrayim liyot lachem lelokim." Translation: I am your God that took you out of Egypt for only one reason, for one reason only, not because I had mercy on you that they beating you up every day and kill your children in the slavery camps. That's not the reason I took you out like some people may think. I only took you out of Egypt to be your God and that you're gonna follow my Torah. If this condition has not been met, none of you would come out of Egypt. Therefore, those who did not want to come, did not want to be to participate in the acceptance of the Torah in Mount Sinai, those who did not care not to follow Moshe into the Holy Land and one day to build the Temple in Jerusalem for Hashem, those, even though they were not wicked people, they were not bad people, they were not murderers, they were not rapists, they were not thieves, they were in slavery. How many sins you can commit when you're a slave in a camp? There's nothing. Plus, there's no Torah yet. I just have to be a decent person. So 12 million of them died for one reason only. They didn't trust Hashem to follow him from Egypt out into the desert. Hamushim, one out of five, they came out. How do you reach from 70 people, 15 million people in 8 or 9 generations? The answer is in the Torah. The more the Egyptians tortured them— there's a verse— the more I blessed them to multiply. Just like when the frogs came to Egypt, the second plague was frogs after the blood. The Egyptians would take a stick. The frogs were very big, very big. They would hit the frog and the frog would split into two. Remember, the whole thing is a miracle. It's a miracle inside a miracle inside a miracle. They, they hit the frog and it becomes two. Now they have another frog, they hit it and it becomes two. They try to kick it out of their bedroom. And Egypt was full of billions of frogs. And when it finished, there was mountains of dead frogs with horrible smell. You know, it caused infections and other diseases. Even now in Gaza, when they will all come back to all the destroyed buildings and there's no water and there's no electric, if they will have some virus or infection or something like that, many people can catch it and die. Dysentery, all kinds of germs that can risk life. It happens many times in destroyed places. Why? Because first of all, you have bodies under the debris. Lots of bodies. Probably a few thousand dead bodies under the buildings that collapsed. Thousands of them are missing. They're obviously dead. They even found a few skeletons already inside the broken building. So they have a lot of dead bodies, dead bodies that are there for a year or 6 months. I don't have to tell you what's going on. The rats, the cats, the snakes, they all come to eat it. And it can create a lot of diseases. So, same thing over here, you have mountains of frogs and it's disaster. And you know when the frogs were alive, you know the noise? I one time went to Boca Raton, I stayed by the house of a very rich man. It was a nice mansion in a private neighborhood. And after he went to sleep, it was only him and his wife, there's no children in the house, nobody. Big, big, big, huge house. Older people. Around 2 AM, I came back from the lecture, this, that. I said to myself, that's a great opportunity, going to the pool. Like a mikveh. They have pools there and it's very hot there and humid. In the summer, it's 90 degrees at 2 AM. And 100% humidity. I said, before anyway I go to take a shower, I might as well jump one second to the pool. I'm going into the pool. All of a sudden, I hear, I mean, middle of the night, 'Grrr!' That's a noise. A kebab almost. My blood froze. What was it? I look to the side, a small frog standing by the pool. One tiny frog, smaller than a phone, made such a noise. First thing I was thinking, wow, imagine in Egypt, billions like this together, like a choir. Imagine the noise. The Egyptians would go crazy. They had to hold their ears. Plus frogs jumping in their faces, going into the oven. The frogs were jumping into the oven. The Gemara says that Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, that they learned kal vachomer from the frogs, that the frogs jump into the fire even though Hashem never told them to jump into the fire. The Torah says that the frogs filled Egypt everywhere, even inside the ovens, but nobody told which frog has to sacrifice life and jump into the fire. That means some of the frogs chose to do it and jumped into the oven, burning oven. So Chananiah, Mishael, and Azariah said, we have this wicked king that throwing us into the fire. The frogs that did not have an obligation to die on Kiddush Hashem, they died on Kiddush Hashem. We, the Jews that have to sacrifice our life for the sake of heaven, needless to say that we should be happy to fall into the fire. Same thing with Avraham Avinu. When Nimrod threw him into the fire, he threw also his brother, Haran. His brother didn't survive, but he did survive. Why he survived? Because it was 100% for the sake of heaven, and he had confidence in Hashem. That Hashem is going to defend him. Therefore, Hashem made him a miracle. So, you know, in the darkness, 12 million died. Why? They did not want to go on a journey. They leave us here. We'll be religious here. Whatever God will tell us here, we will listen. We're not questioning His ability or who He is. We saw what He has done for us, but we don't have the energy to start to go out and to go on the desert enough. We want to go back to our house. We want to rebuild our homes. We want to kick those Egyptians who now living in our houses. You know, in the Holocaust in Poland, The survivors, the Polish Jews that survived, what do you think the first thing they did? They went quickly to their houses to see what's going on over there. You know, and then when they arrived there, they saw Polish goyim living there. And when the goyim saw them, they took axes and ran quickly and stuck it in their heads and split their heads open. Like you cut an orange in the middle, that's how they split their heads open. After the war, they asked them, how is it possible that after what they went through in the camps and lost everything they had, the few of them that came out, you went to finish the job? So they say that they were afraid that they're gonna kick them out of their homes. They're gonna have to give them back their homes. Plus, they hated them for treating them like garbage when they used to own the businesses in Warsaw. The goyim hated them because when they used to come to buy from the Jews, the Jews did not behave nicely to them. Maybe they didn't respect them enough. So they didn't like them. If you remember, once I told you the story that in Belgium they also killed Jews, you know, all over Europe. And there's a street over there that sells chocolates and candies and coffee and tea, sugar, all these things. All the stores in this quarter are the same store. You wanna buy candies and stuff for the house, you go to that street. And after the Kristallnacht, the night that they burned all the Jewish property and more than 1,200 synagogues, which almost all of them were Reform synagogues in Germany, Austria, and other places, you know, they were all Reforms in those areas. Barely had any Orthodox left. So they burn all these fancy schmancy shuls that they build them like the church style. You know, the church, they invest a lot in the architecture to make very fancy buildings. In some places they made it like an arch and they paint with great artists. It took many, many years, like that church in Paris that got burned. By the way, they renovated it. They made it even prettier now, but look how many years it took them. Hundreds of people work there every day from morning to night because of that fire. But imagine in the old days, 800 years ago when they build it, how much work it was. It was much harder then. You didn't have the equipment we have today. You didn't have lift, electric lift. You didn't have trucks. Today it's a lot easier to work. You have the ladders, you have what you have to today. It's all electric, drills, everything is easy. The paint is better. It's much easier to work today. But imagine hundreds of years ago when they built such a place, how many people probably died building it. So in the Kristallnacht, when they burned all the places, the next day, say to son, let's go and see what's left from our store, if anything left. As they walked in the block, they see all the Jewish stores are all burned. Fire, smoke comes out. They walk and walk and walk. They arrive to the middle of the block. They see their store. Nobody touched it. The windows, all the things by the window, the mezuzah is there. He opened the door, he goes inside. Perfect. Everything is there. All the stores in 3 blocks, are all burned. The only store is not burned is their store. What are the odds? How can it be? The son said to the father, "Wow, Hashem probably loves us. From all the places, the only place is safe is ours." What's the first thing the son said to his father? "We're gonna be very rich now." We don't have competition. You can triple the price. His father looked at him and said to him, you're not embarrassed of yourself? People lost everything they had, everything they ever saved. They're probably down to zero now. No income, no nothing. And we're going to triple the price, take advantage of them? This is how I raised you? As they are, you know, getting ready to open the business, maybe some people would come to buy something. You know, people walk in the street, they're shocked from the disaster. So what happened over there, Rabbi Tzvi? You're not going to believe what happened. What happened? A Nazi showed up with his van. With the truck, with the helmet. He walks inside with his SS uniforms and his gun. And he say, "Hi." So now they got very nervous. They thought maybe to us they prepare a special punishment. They didn't just burn our place. Maybe they wanted to burn it with us. They got very nervous. And he said, "You recognize me?" They say, "Yeah, you look familiar." He took off his helmet. He said, "You recognize me now?" "Oh yeah, he used to deliver chocolate to us. He used to work in the deliveries for this chocolate company." He said, "Yeah, it's true. You are probably wondering why all the Jewish stores are burned and the only store that is not hurt is your store." They said, "Yes." We are shocked. He said, I want you to know that from last evening until this morning, I stood by your store all night with my gun and protected your store and everyone who came to burn your store. I said, you're not allowed to touch this store, it's an order. I said, why would you do such thing? He said, because I deliver chocolate to all all the stores around here. Not one of them ever say hello to me. Not one of them ever offered me a cup of tea or a glass of water. Not one of them ever came outside to help me with the heavy boxes when I used to go in and out, bring the boxes. Except you and your son. You always offer me drink. You always came out to help me. You always gave me a tip. You were only very nice to me. I needed the bathroom, you let me use it with a smile always. You treat me like a human being with respect. First thing came to my mouth, to my mind when I heard on the news that they burning Jewish properties and stores, that I must come and protect your store. You see, even this Nazi had gratitude. It would make him feel sad to know that these Jews that were nice to him, that their store is going on fire. Nazi. Why is it? Because the nature of people in general, that if they are being ungrateful to someone that did something very nice to them, if their conscience works, it makes them suffer. You cannot do something someone who was so nice to you. But at the same time, that's been said, the Satan incentive is when he turns you into an ungrateful person, he doesn't want to do half of the work. He wants to make you the most ungrateful that he can. So if someone never did any favor to you besides one tiny favor and you stabbed him in the back, okay, you're ungrateful, but not so much because after all, what did he do for you? One tiny favor. But if he helped you for years on a daily basis for years, and in the end, in the end, you went and stabbed him in the back, your punishment just became a thousand times worse. Because according to how much gratitude you owe him, that's how much you're going to be punished. If you owe him 1 pound of gratitude and you stabbed him in the back, it will be painful, 1 pound. If you owe him a million pounds of gratitude, your punishment will be a million times worse, just like everything else in life. That's why it's Even though your nature is to appreciate, there are two things that works against you. One is the Satan is interested to bury you as much as he can, and Hashem hates very much ungrateful people. So the Satan wants always to turn the human being to an ungrateful person, whether it's Jew, whether it's a goy. The Satan wants to to make all people ungrateful. The more, the better. The more he can grab, the more he will go for. Plus, there is another factor here, which is forgetfulness. People tend to forget. When someone saves your life, in the first day, you're willing to die for him. Anything he wants, you'll do for him. 10 years later, you don't feel the same obligation. You forgot I saved your life 10 years ago? Yeah, of course, don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, but it's been 10 years. So what? The opposite. 10 years later, you owe him more gratitude because his saving already gave you 10 years of life. If a day after he saved you, you owe him gratitude that you didn't die yesterday, But who's to say you didn't die, you wouldn't die tomorrow? Maybe it didn't save you that much besides a day or two of life. And in the end you died anyway. Someone saved you in Gaza in a war with these Nazis and saved your life. Doesn't mean that you won't die tomorrow. Every day is a life risk. Even for the saving of yesterday until today, you already owe him a lot. Even if you die the next day, You still owe him a lot. But if you live 10, 20 years, you owe him a lot more. But you will forget. You will forget. I saw in my own eyes people that I sat for hours to talk to them, to prove to them, and made them religious. After years, when someone asked them, "Who made you religious?" They said someone else. They already either they forgot that it was me or they remember, they just want to give the credit to someone else. Why? Ungratefulness and forgetfulness. It's a very lethal combination. If you don't forget, you are ungrateful. If you forget, you also are ungrateful. Why? Who allow you to forget? Someone save your life, someone got your kid into the best yeshiva when they didn't want to accept it, him and he became a very big Talmid Chacham and you allow yourself to forget? You know, I remember I have a friend that I, whenever I see him, I give him the highest amount of gratitude a person can give, the highest. He said to him, why, why is so nice? Why after all these years? You know, he moved to Israel 22 years ago, 23 by now. Just spent Shabbat with him when I was in Israel. He said, why you love me so much? Why you so nice to me? Why everything I need, you run away, run to do it for me and to get people to help me? Whenever I tell you that I need something, a minute later you already do it for me. Why is it? I said to him, because I will never forget how you went with me to Staples And we bought 100 clear transparencies. And you took it to your printing machine and we had a book and you started to make copies on these transparencies that I should have enough material in my lectures. Remember, there was no laptop yet. Talking almost 30 years ago. I used to have a big overhead projector, a big box with a projector on the wall. Whatever clear transparency you put on the flat surface of the machine, you will see it on the wall. That's how it was. So he made me 100 transparencies. Why I appreciate him so much? I'll tell you why. Before that, I used to work for a rabbi. Somebody used to drive him in the beginning. Take him to places. And sometimes there used to be a small lecture, 7 guys, 10, 12, 15, small, in apartments here in Queens. Used to be a lot of Israelis living here before September 11th. Lots. Hebrew on the streets everywhere. So when it was a big event, he used to agree to go. Once it was a small chugba'it, what we call it, he was already tired to drive all the way from Monsey to Queens for 10 people. Remember, back then it wasn't like today. Today it really doesn't matter how many people come. Once it goes online, you have thousands of views. But back then it was critical. It's either the people that come, that's the only people that will hear the lecture. So if you come and speak for 2 hours and in the end there was only 10 people, you don't feel energy or incentive to do it, especially after you do it for years. So he used to tell me, you go instead of me, I'll give you 4 transparencies, 4 proofs. The fish, the stars, the renewal of the moon, and the codes of the Rambam, the Mishneh Torah, the 613 skip. Those 4 slides, only on this you talk. Learn those 4 topics. Do not let them ask questions and don't go to subjects that you don't know how to answer. Just prove with these 4 proofs that the Torah is divine. If they're clever, after 4 proofs it's enough. So I used to do it. That's how I started to do Chug HaBayit. After a while, it started to grow. People started to invite me. Would you like to come to my aunt? Would you like to come to my friends? I want you to speak by my parents. I need more material. So I came to him, I said, you know, Baruch Hashem, I'm learning in yeshiva, I know a lot more than a year ago. I can speak about at least 10 more subjects, let's say. Why don't you give me more transparencies? So he sent me to someone who used to work with him that speaks in a seminar. He told me, okay, go meet with him. So I went with my other friend, we both went. We sit by this individual. We would like to get from him his material. He has all the materials of the seminars. And I see that he's not happy to give it to us. He doesn't want to give me. Why is he afraid to give me? What is his problem that I'm gonna be able to make few Jews become He calls him up, he went to the side, they talk on the phone for 15 minutes. I say to my friend, wait, you'll see, he won't give us anything. He told me, no, come on, the rabbi sent us over here. He has to give us, he wouldn't waste our time. I said to him, wait and see. After 15 minutes that he talks to him quietly on the side, like two people came to rob him or something. He came and gave me one piece of copy from a Sefer Brachot picture that I could have done in my house. So, okay, here it is. I said, what's this? Where is all the material? That's what he told me to give you. We came out. I say to my friend, no, didn't I tell you that that's what's gonna be? They cannot see that somebody else would succeed also. So he said to me, you know what, I have an idea. I have a notebook, big notebook that I got once in a seminar of Arachim from Israel with all the material that they show in the seminars. Let's make copies of it on a paper. I have a copy machine. 'We'll go to Staples, we buy clear slides, we will make copy on the slides, and you're gonna have at least 100 slides.' So let's do it. He made for me copies, we drove to Staples. It's far from Monsey, 20 minutes to get there, 20 minutes to come back. It took us almost all day. First to make the copies, then to go, then to come back. then to make another 100 copies on the slides. Hours it took. And I made probably thousands of lectures with these slides and made so many people become religious. Cannot count the amount, one after the other. So he said to me now when I was in Israel with him, why? I said, I owe you my my life. Who knows how my life would be without that day? You went, you made me the copies, you drove with me, you gave me that push I needed. I was so disgusted from the other fakers that most likely after something like this, I wouldn't want to be around. Needless to say that shortly after, I ran away from them. But I was so I was disgusted from this fake here. So I said, I cannot be around fakers. By now you know me, I just cannot. That's why I cannot stand the lefties, all these fakers. I just cannot stand them. Why? Because everything about them is a lie. Everything. So that was the beginning. Then later I got the laptop and other things and the website and then Torah Anytime and the rest is history. But this is what it means gratitude. Most people forget. But something so big that made such an impact of your life, you have no permission to forget. When I tell them, thanks to you, I was able to become who I am. Ah, it's not thanks to me. You would anyway, one way or the other, this is your purpose in life. 'You would get there even without me.' I said, 'No, I don't look at it this way. From all the people in the world, you had the zchut to give me the right push in the right time.' You understand? This is what gratitude is all about. That's, by the way, the main word in Judaism is all about gratitude. All the brachot, all the tefilot, everything is gratitude. All the tikkun hamidot, it's all about gratitude. The word 'yudi' come from the word 'modeh.' If somebody asks you, say what Judaism is all about in one word, the answer is 'modeh.' 4 letters: Mem, Vav, Dalet, Hei. That's what Judaism is all about. What does it mean? 'Modeh' has 2 meanings. 'Modeh' means 'I thank you,' gratitude. 'Modeh' also means to admit what's the truth. Ani modeh, that's the truth. I admit. I admit, I thank you. Both of them the same word, modeh. Ani modeh decha. Ani modeh, that it's the truth. Unbelievable. One word, two different meanings for the same spelling. And that's what Judaism is all about, to admit what's the truth and not to move from the truth. And to always be grateful. If you have those two skills, you will be a kosher Jew for sure, for sure, because you cannot stand fakeness, cannot stand liars. Hashem say, when people call me so upset when they see now this hostage deal, people are broken from it. So many people, people that are clever, they understand now after what happened with Gilad Shalit what disaster is coming to us from the terrorists they released. So I tell them one thing to cheer them up. I say, we, Baruch Hashem, after all these aggravation and disappointment, we have to remember that we are in the hands of Hashem. What does it mean we are in the hands of Hashem? In everything we are in the hands of Hashem. Why do we have to remember that our situation with these Palestinian Nazis, we are in the hand of Hashem? What's the significance of that? The answer is that Hashem cannot 10 liars, and all of them are liars. They lie, they rewrite history, they say all kinds of stories. They say that Avraham Avinu was Muslim, even though it's 2,000 years before Islam even started. They say all kinds of lies about us. They say there was no temple there. It's all kinds of lies, that they were there before us. That we stole their land. Everything they say, it's a lie. Everything. You don't know a word of what they say ever. You know for sure that cannot be truth. You cannot. I once was involved with the workers there. I see how everything they say, it's a lie. Swear to tomorrow I'm going to be 7 o'clock. 11 o'clock, where are you? I'm here, I'm there, I'm this, I got stuck. A call lies. When you cross investigation with the different Ahmed, where is Mustafa? Ah, Mustafa, he took another job. Don't worry, he will still come. When? Next week. Well, I'm waiting for him. He says on the way. The culture is all lies. Not with Jews only, between themselves. It's all about lies, and Hashem cannot stand liars. What does it mean? There will be no existence for long term to the liars. The lie can last for X amount of time until I decide to put an end to it. Once I decide that this lie has to die today, nothing will help. It must come out. This witness refused to testify, it will come out in a different way. It must come out. That's why in the holy language, the word Emet is written with letters that have two legs. Aleph is standing on two legs. Mem is standing on two legs. Tav is standing on two legs, very solid. Sheker, it's three letters that stand on one leg. Shin is a point in the bottom, one leg. Kuf, one leg. And Resh, one leg. Emet, Aleph is the first letter in the Aleph-Bet. Mem is the middle. And Taf is the end, to show you from the beginning of the world to the end of the world, the truth will always be the same truth, the truth of God. There's no other truth. There's no different truth. There's only one truth, and it constantly will be always from the beginning through the middle all the way to the end, the same truth. Also, Emet is in the right order: Aleph, then Mem, then Tav. Sheker should have been Keresh. Kuf, Resh, Shin. It's mixed and it's temporary. It's 3 letters that are back to back. It's not from the beginning to the end because Sheker are temporary. Shin, Kuf, Resh, Sheker are 3 letters that attach to each other. But they should have been in the right order. Kuf, Resh, Shin, Keres. Why Sheker? Hashem mixed it. Why? Because to show you that the Sheker, it's all mixed up. It, you know, it doesn't build in the right way and it stands on one leg and it's temporary. Eventually you have to collapse. How long a person can stand on one leg? How long? 5 minutes. He has to fall. Two legs solid. One leg, you fall. The lie will have X amount of time. For now, Hashem used these Arabs to torture us as a part of the plan. It's written by the prophecies. But when the time will come, read what would happen to them. All these lies, all these demonstrations, all these fake videos that they make in a studio, like supposedly children are dying and they put tomato sauce on their face, and you see in the videos how they move their hands and they show it to the world, and the stupid Europeans cooperate with the scam. And all of these things will all come to a trial one day, and they will have to pay for every lie. These Arabs will not get away with even one lie that they made, multiplied by trillions of lies. Each one of them, they will have to pay the punishment for. Every one of them, every one of their leaders, all the way to their father Muhammad that made up this fake religion. He is responsible for all the evilness in the world, for all the torture in the world, for every time you have to take a shoe down when you get on a flight and they check your pockets and they take you to the side and they check your bags and they don't let you bring liquid and they take a bottle of shampoo and throw it to the garbage or bottle of whiskey or a bottle of wine because you forgot to check it in and now it's in your carry-on and you have to throw it away. Every one of them Muhammad will be punished for. For every bottle of shampoo and every time someone has to take his shoes and every time people wasted, you know, missed their flight because of all these security checks. All of that in the world is because of these Muslim Arab terrorists. All the suffering in the world is because of them. All the insurance you pay in Israel is because of them, because they steal tens of thousands of cars. All the violations, all the burning, all the missiles that fall increase the insurance. All the suffering of children and the trauma and families that are broken because one of the parents went into depression All of them Muhammad will pay for. And every imam and every other liar who writes his garbage and spread it to the world, all of them will be judged to the last second. They will not get a discount even by one tiny lie they say. That's the way Hashem is. Not only them, every one of us will be punished for every lie we say. For everything we do, for everyone who suffers because of us. There is no discrimination. The Arabs will get what they deserve, the Christians will get what they deserve, and the Jews will get what they deserve. Your beautiful yarmulke will not save you from hell if you are mechalel Shabbat, or an idol worshiper, or teach heresy to the public, or that you spread lack of modesty in the world, or you allowed your student to do things against the Torah and they rely on you because you have a beautiful beard and a sombrero. Everyone— everyone will be judged, everyone, unless you repent. Baruch Hashem, there's a way out. You can repent today, can repent tomorrow, can repent next week. As long as you are alive, you can repent. Once a person died, there is no more ways to repent. You cannot repent anymore. You know, I told you about these lefties. I think today, this week, I think it's the yahrzeit of the Ramatkal. He used to be also the Minister of Defense. His name was Rafael Eitan, Rafoul. From all the chief of commands that we had in the army, he was the only one that was good and loyal to the State of Israel. Every one of the other chief of commands were lefty traitors, one by one. The blood of many soldiers is on their hands. Include the current one, this Herzi, and the one before. Every one of them was a lefty liberal traitor, except Rafoul. He was the only one who protected the soldiers. He was very much anti-Arab terrorist. He had zero mercy on them. He didn't care to call them names in public. Even though the lefty media hated him very much, he was not politically correct. He didn't know how to lie and to pretend. He spoke very direct. But everybody else was a traitor. How do I know all of that? I have a friend, professor, is now teaching in Geneva. His name is Professor Daniel Hassidim. He's a brilliant guy, brilliant, very smart. He lived in China for a few years. He speaks fluent Chinese. Netanyahu sent him on few important missions throughout the years. He was working for Netanyahu, he was working for Arik Sharon, he was working for this Raful. So today he told me about this. Listen what he wrote to me, I copied it. He told me, 17 years ago, Raful died. How did he die? He went to the port of Ashdod, stood by the rocks, where the rock stops the waves. It breaks the waves. He stood over there. It was a stormy day. A huge wind came, made him fly like a hurricane. He fell into the water. It was a very, very bad day, and he drowned to death. That's the official story. Very possible that the leftists killed him. Very, very possible. We will never know. Only when Mashiach comes, we'll know what happened. But that's the way that— that's how they publish the news to the— the story to the news. 17 years ago, he was the best Ramatkal that we had. All the ones that came after him were all failures. Dan Shomron, Bugi Ya'alon, Dan Khalutz, Gabi Eisenkot, Benny Gantz, Kochavi, Herzia Levy, and even Shaul Mofaz, that was not a lefty originally, also voted for Oslo and to kick the Jews out of Gush Katif and out of their properties over there. So one way or the other, it was also a trader. And only Raful was not a trader. So I told my friends, the professor that now is teaching in the University of Geneva, religious guy, I told him, you know, I have the, the reason for it. He said, what's the reason? Say, the Zohar says that in the end of days, all the lefty The Erev Rav, the children of the Erev Rav, this Erev Rav that Moshe Rabbeinu took out of Egypt, they will come back in reincarnation to control us and kill us and eat us within all the traitors that you see in the government, in the army, in the police, in the universities, in the media. All over the world, people like Bernie Sanders, Imar Shimon, and others, they are all the Erev Rav. And you know why Rafoul is not the Erev Rav? Because he wasn't Jewish. His mother was a goy. He's not a Jew. All these Jews that I mentioned were all traitors because they are the Erev Rav. But he is a goy. A goy cannot be Erev Rav. It's a goy. Erev Rav is the ones that Moshe converted, they must come back. Jews come back as Jews and goyim come back as goyim. A Jew cannot come back as a goy because why Hashem sends back the Jew to the world? He failed in his past life to keep all the commandments of the Torah. Now Hashem is giving him a second chance to keep the commandments of the Torah. But if he will come back as a goy, goi, he won't be able to keep the commandments of the Torah. He's not even allowed to learn the Torah of the Jews. Halachot, Yichud Shabbat, you know, he's not allowed to keep Shabbat as a goi. He has to convert. So if a Jew will come back as a goi, what is the purpose? He won't be able to fix the Chilul HaShabbat, to fix the learning Torah, to fix the Tefillin that he didn't put, Because as a goy, he's not supposed to do these things. So therefore, a Jew cannot come back as a goy. What about a goy? Maybe a goy can come back as a Jew. There are many goyim over the years. I can tell you that over 1,000 goyims, over, way over, in the last 30 years swore to me that they feel that their neshama, their soul, is 100% Jewish. And Jewish. They love God, they love the Torah, they love Israel, they love rabbis, they love lessons of Torah. They hate heresy, they hate hypocrisy. Wow! They're much more decent when it comes to religion than many of those faker Jews. And their heart comes out, they cry when when they hear Torah. They cry when they listen to the lectures. So they swear, "I promise you, I'm already a Jew. I mean, I know I have to convert, but I feel 100% Jewish. I can never see myself marry a non-Jew, women and men. I can't. I must convert." Why? Right now I cannot marry a Jew because I'm not a Jew. Officially, but I don't see myself marrying a non-Jew. So I'm between heaven and earth. I'm stuck. There's probably a few million going like this in the world. From 8 billion, maybe 5 million, maybe 10 million, maybe 20 million going like this in the world and are very decent. So I say to them, I mean, I understand what you say, but what can we do? We have what's written. We don't follow our hunch or feelings. Religion is not feelings. A goy cannot come back as a Jew and a Jew cannot come back as a goy. It's two different souls. And if you died as a goy and Hashem wants to reincarnate your soul in a new life, he will bring you to non-Jewish mother. That's where you will go. Going to be born. Why? Because your test is of what you failed in your past life as a goy, not as a Jew. You have to fix what the goy has to keep, which is the 7 laws of Noah and to be a decent human being and to love God and to love Israel, not to be an idol worshiper, not to be a murderer, not to be a thief, to obey the constitution and the law. To follow the law and the police, not to be a cruel person, you know, not to hurt other people. The goyim has to, you know, be decent. They have to be faithful to each other. He's going with her. They don't have to get married, but they can live together and have kids. As long as they're together, they're together. They want to separate, they separate. They don't need divorce, none of this. So they have the rules. So if a goy was weak dead, such like an idol worshiper, and Hashem gave him a second chance to be reincarnated in the world, his laws are very different than the Jews. Even the mutual commandments that we have, for instance, Jews, they're not allowed to steal, and goyim are not allowed to steal, but it's not 100% the same. There are some differences. Same thing with idol worshiping. There are some differences. There are differences even on the commandment that Jews and goyim has to keep. For instance, if a goy make an abortion, is worse than if a Jew makes an abortion. Both of them is a murder, but the goy will be punished more severely. If a goy steals, he will be punished more severely than a Jew that still. Some things the Jews are punished a lot worse than the goyim. Goyim will get a minor punishment and the Jew will get a lot worse. But for some things, even the goyim have bigger punishment than the Jews. You see that there's differences. I have in my house a set of books that one, Talmid Rabbi wrote and he sent it to me about the laws of the Gentiles. He did a very serious work investigating all the laws that apply to go in. Very interesting, you know. Also, there are differences in inheritance laws, in all kinds of other things. Some of the things that if the goy is passive, he doesn't get punished. But if a Jew is passive, he will be punished. For instance, a goy doesn't have an obligation to rebuke other goyim. If he does it, he will be rewarded. But there's nowhere that it says that he must go and give speeches to all the goyim and tell them to stop with their crimes. A Jew, every Jew, has an obligation to save other wicked Jews and make them righteous. Benji, it's very cold here. Put the heat on. So, you know, the Jew has an obligation. That's why I always tell Jews, if you don't know how to do it, invest money by those who knows how to do it. Those who knows how to convince people to become religious. You give them money, they'll make people religious. It counts like you did it. This is 100% how it works. You know, when Hashem said to Moshe to teach the Leviim, the Levites, all their laws in the temple, the Livdei Leviim, the Mitzvot, how they serve the Kohenim, everything the Leviim has to do. After that, the Torah say, Moshé, and the nation of Israel did everything that Hashem commanded to the Jewish nation. Now comes the Oral Torah and asks, what does it mean, the nation of Israel? It was only to the Levites. It's one family, the family of Moshé and Aharon. That's it. It's not the rest of the Jews. The rest of the Jews don't serve in the Beit HaMikdash. They don't serve the Kohenim in such a way. They don't sing in a choir in the Beit HaMikdash. They don't wash the hands of the Kohenim. They don't receive ma'asrot from the nation of Israel. They don't have to transfer some of it to the Kohen. The nation of Israel don't have these laws. Why the Torah of God, shortly after it's written that Hashem told Moshe to teach the Levites their specific laws, right after that, instead of writing, and the Levites did just as Hashem commanded Moshe to teach them, it doesn't read, it's not written like that. It's written, and the nation of Israel did everything Hashem commanded Moshe. Come on, this is for the Levi'im, not for the nation of Israel. The answer that the Oral Torah gives, just like I always tell you, you cannot understand anything in the written Torah without the Oral Torah. Not one word you cannot understand. Not one verse, not one meaning, not one halacha, nothing whatsoever without the Oral Torah. Almost nothing is written in written Torah. Besides very brief incidents, name, very, very small details, all the important details are missing. How to make tefillin? It says you have to make, to put a sign on your heart and in between your eyes. Every day you have to do it. What sign? It doesn't say. How would you know what sign? Everyone will do something else. This guy will put a sticker, this one will attached a piece of paper. This one will write something. This one will cut himself. What sign? Is it possible that Hashem said, this is one of the three covenants between me and my children, that you have to put it between, in your heart, on your heart, and in between your eyes, but he will not say what to put? Is it normal to you? The dumbest person in the world wouldn't do such a stupid thing. So what are you saying, that God is dumber than him? God forbid. This is the stupidity of ignorant people who bark before they even understand 1% of the topic. They run to the media to bark. I had a fool like this 2 weeks ago in Israel that I had an argument with him in Hebrew about the Oral Torah. Such an idiot, such a fool, and also an arrogant person. Doesn't let you finish one sentence, but so dumb. You, you bring him proofs in front of his eyes, he doesn't even try to understand or to listen. Then I realized that all he wanted in this debate is to talk about the rest of his garbage. New World Order, Illuminati, Luminati, they're watching us, they want to dilute us, the Israeli government want to kill millions of Israelis, the world, the Illuminati, the Rothschilds, Bill Gates, they want to do something that they should kill millions, billions of people in the world, they want us all dead, you know, the rest of the craziness of all these stupid people that constantly continue with their conspiracy theories and follow it like it's the Ten Commandments of Hashem. I told one of them, look, let's not get into an argument. I think it's all nonsense. I think it's all nonsense. You think it's all real. I cannot swear that it's all nonsense and you cannot swear that it's all real. In the end, you were told by people They do this, and Bill Gates wanted us dead. That's why he invested money in a vaccine. The purpose of the vaccine was to kill us, not to save us. This argument would remain forever. And you will argue about the Illuminati and the Rothschilds, how really it is, how powerful they are, how much they really exist. Is it still in power? Whatever. Commandment will never end. But why are you living by this like it's the Ten Commandments of Hashem? When it comes to the Ten Commandments of Hashem, you're not so devoted. You don't have such fear to break Shabbat or to steal or to commit all kinds of sins. It doesn't seem to obsess you so much. Why you are so obsessed with these vaccines 5 years later, 3 years later? Don't you see that it's a mental disease? Don't you see it? You don't want to take, don't take. You don't believe, don't believe. You believe the government wants to kill you, believe the government wants to kill you. You want to vaccinate your children, they're going to get polio and they're going to be in a wheelchair for the rest of their life. You are right, your kids will be on the wheelchair. I told you so. You don't want to listen, do it. No problem. But why it became more important than the Torah? This is what I want to understand. Again, maybe you're right. Maybe you're right, I don't know. There are millions of conspiracy theories. I'm sure some of them are correct. Cannot be all of them fake. So in the end, if there was a way to ask Hashem today, Hashem, tell us the final answer about all these conspiracy theories of YouTube, about this and about the New World Order and about Illuminati and about the vaccines, about the chip and about the AI and about everything. Give us a final answer. Then we would see what they were right and what they were wrong. But until we're gonna get the confirmation from Hashem, it's left with a question mark. Why would something that has a question mark become the way of your life? And what's written in the Torah that it's a billion percent the word of God and there's no argument about it, that's not relevant to your life. Don't you see that something is off here? Eli Cohen, the spy? Poor Eli Cohen. The little I know about Eli Cohen, that many, a few decades ago, He was a spy in Syria. He was a Syrian Jew, spoke Arabic. They taught him how to pray the Muslim prayers. The Muslim had no idea that he's Jewish. I think he was even a religious Jew. But whatever the case was, that he already got to the top of the pyramid. He was close to the president of Syria, to the generals of the army, and he passed passed a lot of valuable information to the Israelis until they caught him. Once they caught him, they hung him, and they still holding his body until today. Now, there were rumors that the new ISIS government of Syria, as gratitude to Israel that helped them to kick Assad and to take Syria over, that they will give us back the body of Eli Cohen. That was the rumors. To the best of my knowledge, it did not happen. I'm sure it will be a big noise in Israel, just as much as what we had today with the hostages. Since I didn't hear any noise, I assume it didn't happen. Uh, one thing you may ask, why the Israelis any government would want ISIS and Al-Qaeda to take over Syria and not Assad. It's like someone asks you, who would you like to be in charge of the Nazis, Adolf Hitler or Adolf Eichmann? They're garbage, and this is garbage as well. What difference does it make? Ikhya Sinwar or Mahmoud Sinwar? Same garbage. Who cares which one? Khomeini or Khamenei? Same garbage. Arafat or Abu Mazen? Same garbage. Who cares what color is the garbage? It's still garbage. This is Murderers of people. All they do is just murder. Assad murdered more than half a million people. ISIS murdered so many people, I don't even know how many. Half a million more? So why the Israeli government would rather one murderer to take over the previous murderer? Why? Very simple. Among the Muslims, there are Sunnis and Shiites, and they hate each other more than they hate us, believe it or not. That's how much they hate each other. And they kill each other nonstop every minute in the world. So Iran is Shiites, Hezbollah Shiites, but in Lebanon you have Sunnis and Christians and others. So the Shiites and the Alawi, which is also Shiites, they were in charge of Syria. They were torturing us for 40 years, shooting, fighting, attacking Hezbollah, you know. Now we defeated Hezbollah, so we are a threat to them from the south. We replace Assad with these ISIS people that are Sunnis. So now Hezbollah from both sides have enemies. Until now, Assad was their backup. He helped them to get weapons. He protected them. There's no more Assad. Now the other side, Syria, is their enemies. So Hezbollah is in a sandwich. Both sides of the border border, the north and the south, are people that want them dead. Therefore, it will be much harder for them to get weapons, to get money, or to mess with us ever again. This is all politics. The people of ISIS want us, Israel, dead just as much as Hezbollah. Make no mistake. But right now, us and them have a mutual enemy, which is the Shiites, Iran and Hezbollah. For now, they love us. After, they will murder all the Shiites and all the Alawis, as they do as we speak every day. They kill hundreds of them every day. You can see videos. People send me videos how they come to people and and blow their heads in the streets. They ask him, are you Illawi? Yeah, boom! Or they burn them alive, or they beat them up until they die. That's what they do right now. These gangs walking in the street and murdering Illawis, and they make them bark like dogs. They tie them, they make them stand in a room, and they all day they scream, how, how, how! Imagine if Israel will do it to them. What the world would do. And the world sees these videos, not one beep. They don't care if 5 million Arabs will die every day. The world doesn't— does not care. The world only cares when a Jew kills an Arab. When Arab kills Arab, everyone is dancing. The world cares that Shiites kill Sunnis or the other way around? They don't care. Did you ever hear the world's making riots and demonstrations in colleges that Assad gassed half a million Syrians? Half a million! Not 15,000 terrorists. Civilians, people, gassed them with nerve gas and mustard gas and other gases. Holocaust. Not one beep. Not over a million people died between Russia and Ukraine. You barely hear anything about it. People leave. One murderer will be shot from a drone, every news in the world will talk about it. Why? Because he was shot by a Jew, and the Jews have no right for self-defense. They should die like they did in Auschwitz. Stand on lines and walk inside. We love you when you are dead. We love you when you are tortured. We hate you when you are independent and you're trying to defend yourself against those who come to kill you. You're annoying. That's what's going on. You think it started today? It was always like that. It's nothing new here. So, Avotai, we finished Sefer Bereshit, we started Sefer Shemot, and right away, vayakom melech hadash, a new Pharaoh came into power. All the kings of Egypt, their name is Pharaoh. All the kings of the Philistines, their name is Avimelech. It's a title. Title. So now, by the way, the Chachamim begins to argue, was it really a new king or it's the same one that behaves like it's a new king? Why? The Midrash says that Pharaoh, when they told him the children of Jacob, these Hebrews, They used to live in the land of Goshen. Now they moved into Egypt all over, as it's written, the land is full of them. They came to Pharaoh and they said to him, listen, tomorrow is going to be a war. They will make a coup from inside with the outside enemies, and they'll take over Egypt, and we'll all be dead. Before it's too late, we have to kill them all. And if you disagree, at least we have to put them in slavery camps. We'll take advantage of them. The Midrash says he refused. He didn't want. And they made riots and they kicked him out of his palace for 3 months. He was expelled. Then he begged to come back, similar to what happened in Korea now. They kicked him out. They wanted to arrest him, but they didn't let. It was a big thing. Then he came back. Once he came back, he accepted their demands. Then they put all the Jews in slavery camps. In the beginning, they didn't say we are putting you in Auschwitz. What did they say? We will pay 3 times more for those who will come to build new places, monuments, and graves, and all kinds of beautiful things for the king, for Pharaoh. It's an honor to build for the king, but instead of $50 an hour, you will make "$150 tax-free!" People started to come, Jews and Egyptians. Even Pharaoh himself joined the work from time to time. In the beginning, they paid them. They got them used to come to work. After a while, they started to get rid of the Egyptians. "You are fired, you are fired, you are fired." only Jews working. And after that, they stop paying them. And after that, they lock them in by force. And the rest of the story you can read in the parasha, in the next 3 parashot. Shmot, Vayera, Bo. So, Vayakhomel HaKadosh, either he really died as a new Pharaoh or it's the same Pharaoh Why they say died? Because he became leper, he had leprosy. The Gemara says 4 people count like dead. Someone who becomes blind, someone who has no children, someone who is extremely poor, and someone who have leprosy. I once explained, if you remember, what That's the story of those 4 people, why they count like dead. Because they cannot contribute anything to anyone. Blind, he cannot see anything. Someone who has no children, he has no one to give to on a daily basis. Someone who has no— he doesn't have a penny in his pocket. He would like to do good and to give charity, but he doesn't have. He cannot benefit the world. And someone that have leprosy is being put in isolation, isolated completely from human beings. No one is allowed to come near him as long as he has the leprosy. While they are either poor or no children or have leprosy, all these 4 things that I mentioned It's considered like dead, like dead, not like he's really dead. It's counted like a dead person. Tomorrow he will have a child, he's no longer dead. The leprosy will be cured, he's no longer dead. If there is a way to open up his eyes and he's not gonna be blind. Today I think they have some surgeries that some blind people started to see. So obviously from that moment on, he's not considered considered dead anymore. And if he's very poor and now he made money, he's no longer considered dead. So it's for the time being, for the time being. So you see that one of the main purposes in life is to benefit others, not to be selfish, to do for others. If a person A person's nature is selfish and he says, "Dear God, I love you very much, but I'm a lazy person, I'm selfish, I'm egoistic, I'm a self-centered person, I don't have patience for anyone, only to myself. I don't even want to do for my own children, for my own spouse. I only care about myself and what people do for me." me. That's my nature. Leave me alone. I was always like that. Someone like that does not contribute anything to the world. What does he do for the world? He only takes from the world. He does not give anything in return. Of course, he's in the black book of Hashem. Ah, it's his nature. Since a very young age, he's like that from his past life. Why do you think I sent you back to the world in reincarnation? To stop being like that. Don't want you to stay like this. Like this, you can never enter heaven. Selfish, ungrateful, never pays back to anyone any good, never have mercy on anyone, never give charity. Who needs someone like you in the world? You come like a dead person. The blind person is dead by force, not by choice. Someone who doesn't have children, most of the time is by force, not by a choice. Someone that is poor is forced, not by choice. And someone that got leprosy, it's also forced. Forced on him. Yes, he spoke lashon hara and that's his punishment. Also, it's very possible that the fact that he doesn't have children, it's his punishment. It could be also a punishment for all his sins that he committed in his life. Or obviously, or lose all your money or never have money. That could be also a punishment. So those 4 things, it's definitely can be a punishment for our sins. But here we are talking about someone that have money and have children and he doesn't have leprosy and everything by him is fine and he see and he doesn't want to help anyone. He is much worse than those four because he has the tools to give and he doesn't give. That's much worse. Because the other person, it's like you locked him in a cage. There's nothing he can do. He's forced to be locked. He cannot give, he cannot help, he cannot do anything. He's in a cage. Someone that you released him from the cage and he continued to be like that, not to give, it's much worse than someone that wants to give but he's locked in a cage. You get the point, right? So how you turn into a generous giving person? You begin a daily practice. When they come in the morning in the synagogue to collect, you put every day a quarter. It pinches you a little bit, a quarter a day. After a month, you put 50 cents. Another month, a dollar. You raise it little by little. Another month, $2. Another month, $4. You constantly give more. The pain is the same pain. The same pain you had when you gave a quarter, a month later when you give 2 quarters, it's the same pain like the quarter you gave because you begin to get used to it. Now your pain is on the extra quarter, not on the first one. On the first one, after you give few times, you got used to it. There's no more pain. This is the way Hashem made the world. After the actions, the heart follows automatically. You begin to force yourself to do something you hate, and every time you do it and you do it and you do it, you suffer less and less and less until you love it. So the first time you put a quarter as a stingy person, it hurts you very much. Second time, it hurts you 95%. Third time, 90%. Fourth time, 80%. After 10 times, 10, 15 times, no pain. Now it's the time to raise the level. You raise it from 25 cents to 50 cents. Comes back the pain. The pain is only for the extra quarter, not for the first quarter, because on the first quarter you got used to it. You begin to even like it, to put every day quarter in a tzedakah box. And therefore you constantly add in your life more and more, and you constantly have pain. This pain, says the Chazon Ish, For that you will get most of the reward. The reward that Hashem will give you, it only for what hurts you when you do for the sake of God. Something that it's easy for you, there's hardly any reward. I'll give you an example. You come to a house of an Arab. Hamas. You come to his house as a guest. Let's say he agreed to meet a Jew. Negotiation, hostage deal, business deal. He wants to release his cousin from Israeli jail. So the Arab, let's call him Ahmed. Ahmed agreed to meet Itzik, the Jew. Ahmed ate Itzik the Jew very much and in any given second would be delighted to slaughter or break his neck. Everybody knows it. That's a rule in nature. But Itzik now is a guest of Ahmed. What do you think Ahmed will do when Itzik comes to his house? He will fill up the table with the best food on earth. Baklava and coffee and chocolate and hummus and lamb, anything you can think of, fruits, and he will serve Yitzhak like you serve a king. How can it be? It's a big contradiction here. A minute ago, before Yitzhak arrived, he said, I wish I can slaughter this Jew. 20 years he scream, itbacheliyahu, They have these songs, that's their culture, it's all about Yahud. So now he has to sit with this Yahud and serve him and give him food. Everything will be on the table besides alcohol. It's not allowed in Islam, alcohol, but everything else 'You will have on the table, and if you won't eat, Ahmad will be offended.' Come on, eat. You're not a religious guy, you know, you don't care about kosher. Allah eats lamb. We slaughter the lamb for you, Yahya 'Ud. Ya Achi, you are Ahla Yahya 'Ud. Once he leaves, blow up his head. The next day. How do you explain such a phenomenon? Very, very simple. No contradiction. In their natures, the Arabs are very strong in hospitality. It's impossible to come to a house of an Arab somewhere in the world and they will give you barely a glass of water and say goodbye. It's not possible. They will die out of shame and pain in their heart that they did not serve you everything they had in their closets, in the refrigerator. Why? They inherit this from their father. It goes from father to son. Ishmael learned from Abraham. His sons learned from him. The sons of the— the grandsons of Ishmael learned from their parents until today, 3,300 years. Every Arab grew up in a house of parents that the table will always be full when guests comes in. And Jews that lived in the Middle East are the same. You come to the house of Moroccan, everything will be full. Egyptian, full. Syrian, full. Pergens, full. Tripoli, Libya, full. Lebanese Jews, full. Then you come to house of European Jew. If you're lucky, you get a glass of tea, and you see the pain of the European when he serves you the tea. And if by mistake you took a pear from the basket, they may tell you, "Oh, it belongs to my daughter, please." No joke, it happened to me. Why is it? They grew up with Europeans and Europeans are cold people, their culture is cold, and there's no hospitality like the rest of the world. Of course, there's always an exception to the rule. There'll be European Europeans are very good. They learn, they force themselves to, to be generous and to fill up the table. But it's not the usual nature of Europe. Same thing, it's not the usual nature in America because the Americans are Europeans, former Europeans. But every person who came from the Middle East is like that. The Jews, they have it from two different sources. They're also children of Avraham Avinu. So it also traveled from father to son to Yitzchak and Yaakov. And they're also influenced by the countries where they grew up. Imagine a Bukharian. If you come to a house of a Bukharian Jew or a Bukharian goy from Uzbekistan, same table, same delicious stuff. He will bring you kosher lamb, he will bring you not kosher lamb. He will bring you all these beautiful spices that they serve, and you— one will be kosher, one will be not, but it's the same idea. So you see that it's the nature. I cannot go in any different way than the way I was raised. Therefore, even if someone I hate is coming into my house for for business meeting or for different purpose, as much as I hate him, I don't even do it for him. I do it for myself because otherwise I will suffer for months. I remember when I used to go to my grandmother, she was 70 years old. She is Persian from my mother's side. She knew I love watermelons very much. She right away always make sure to have watermelon when I arrive. There was always a watermelon on standby. And she would cut it for me and cut it and enjoy so much to see how I love the watermelon. One time I came, there was no watermelon. She right away took this cart, which she has, and went all the way to the shuk. 15 minutes walk from her house. I said, "No, no, it's okay." "No, sit here, I'm coming soon." She went, came back, not just with watermelon, with half of the shouk. Why? I really didn't care. For me, it was a burden to sit and wait now. Because she did it for herself. She won't forgive herself. She won't forgive herself. Why? This is the way they are. That's the nature. Same Arab grew up with machine guns, killing people in front of his eyes. The Arabs, if you ask them, how would you like to kill the Jew? To shoot him in the head or to slaughter him with a big knife in his throat? 99 out of 100 The red will tell you they would like to slaughter the Jew with a knife. It gives them more pleasure. Not only the Jews, every one of their enemies. ISIS slaughtered Arabs. I don't know if you saw their videos. This John the Hengel, someone of ISIS used to slaughter people in front of the video. Why just shoot them and that's it? Because from a very young age, the Arabs slaughtering goats, that's a part of their culture. Everything they eat is lamb, goat, beef. They eat a lot of meat. Take meat from the life of an Arab, he rather be dead. Cannot be. Same thing, the Middle Eastern Jews, it's all around meat. So how they kill the goats? They slaughter them. They don't eat Nefilot like the Christians. It has to be slaughtered. And when they slaughter the goat, they bring their kids to hold them. And the kids from age 3, 4, 5, 6, on a weekly basis, they see how the father or the grandfather slaughter the animal and how the animal shakes. And from a very young age, it's become a part of their genes. And when they hate you, That's how they want to slaughter you. But the Jews, when they slaughter the goat, never ever they'll bring a little kid to see the slaughtering. The opposite. The kid would want to come, they would say, no, it's not for you. Only when it be an older teenager, then he can learn the laws of slaughtering in yeshiva. You can bring him to see. You don't want them— you don't want to make their life bloodthirsty from a very young age. Because what the kids hear and see in a very young age become a part of their nature. It goes into their subconscious and that's how they are. Same thing, kids that were abused by their parents, their father, the mother, different kinds of abuse cause different kinds of consequences. One will be a serial killer, one will be a serial rapist, one will become gay, one will change his sex. All of these things that you see, it's because of the abuse their parents give them in a young age. Everything. When you see people that cannot get married, check in their childhood what their parents did to them, or their teachers, or their relatives around. If You send them to hypnosis. Sometimes they can even detect what happened to them in a very— you ask them now, they don't remember. The girl doesn't remember why she doesn't want to get married. She doesn't know why she doesn't want to get married. No, no, I'm okay now. Go on a date? No, no. She doesn't know that when she was 3, someone took advantage of her. She was a kid. She cannot testify now. But if you hypnotize her, it will come back. It stays in the subconscious. Subconscious. In Italy, in Brazil, there is a woman, every time an airplane passes by, she jumps under the table, puts her hand over her head, and she screams words in Italian. She's a Portuguese woman from Brazil. She goes like this and she screams words in Italian. And she doesn't even know what she says. I ask her, "What are these words you say?" "I have no idea." From the panic. They sent her to a parapsychologist, they hypnotized her, and he found out that she was in her past life an Italian woman in a World War, and she was in Italy and a plane bombed their place, and every time the planes were bombing, they would go under the tables and put their hands over their heads until she in the end died in this war. And she was an Italian woman, so when they used to go under the table and praying for their life, they used to scream in Italian. And now she's back in reincarnation in Brazil as a Brazilian woman. But you see that the fear from airplanes, every time she hears an airplane, she jumps under the, under the table, remains in the soul. The soul was in a different body. The body was eaten by the worms a long time ago. Nothing is left from that body. It's in a grave. But it remains in the spirit. it remains in the soul. That's every one of us, things that we like to do in this life, things that we hate to do in this life, almost all of that is a direct continuation from our past life. And from the first 6 years of your life in this life. First 6 years. Just like when you plant a tree, in the first time you can still maneuver it. You want it to go left, you want it to go right, you push it towards the house, to the other side. The tree is growing crooked, you can make it straight. Once it gets thick and hard, that's it. You cannot bend it. It's too late already. Same thing with children. At a young age, The Gemara says it's like a page that absorbed the ink. Later, it's a page that does not absorb the ink anymore. Now it's going to be 100 times harder to re-educate the child after you raised him in a certain way up to 6 years old. After that, it will be very difficult. That's why I always tell these modern Orthodox people Do not dress your daughters in a terrible way like the goyot on the streets. Even though she's only 3 years old, she runs, she sleeps on the floor, she rolls. Men in a synagogue has to see her like this. This has become a part of her. Even when she becomes 6, you want to send her now to school, you're not going to send her like like this, with short sleeves and miniskirt and whatever you— or tights. Now you're sending her with modest clothes, but she already has it in her subconscious, the desire for these clothes, because that's how you raised her. From a very young age, you raise her in a proper way and you dress her always modest. You think she doesn't understand when she's 3? You are dreaming. She may not understand in her conscious, but everything remains in the subconscious. Same thing when you curse in front of children thinking they don't understand. You are wrong. It's recorded in their subconscious. It will give them desire to curse later on. You lie in front of children, it's recorded. It will make them liars later on. Things that they will let them watch from whatever show that you put, thinking they don't understand. Things that you may do intimate in the house, thinking the baby doesn't understand. He's in a crib, he's not even 1 year old. Everything they understand. You know, there was one case in England. That they convicted a murderer who murdered a woman in a house based on the testimony of an autistic baby that was laying in a room upstairs. How can it be? Younger than 2 years old, baby. They hypnotized the baby. They hypnotized the baby. It was already baby that can speak. And the baby He say who came into the house. Maybe it was 2, maybe it was 3. Unbelievable. There was an article about it based on the testimony of an autistic kid that was laying in a crib. The soul observed everything. Tough. Let's move on. Time is running out. So now we have a dilemma. Is it a new king or is this same one? Really, no nafka mina. Doesn't make that much of a difference because one way or the other now, he either doesn't remember Yosef and have zero gratitude to the 80 years that Yosef rendered show and made Egypt the biggest empire in the history of the world and the wealthiest ever. Either he forgot who Yosef is, or he remembers him but he pretends he forgot. Which case is worse? That you are close to a big rabbi, very big rabbi, for me, for years you served him, you did things for him, and now he forgot who you are. Few years you were not in touch, he forgot about you. You ask him, "Do you forgot what I did for you?" "I really don't remember, honestly." Or he remember, but he pretends that he forgot. Which one is more insulting? That his memory is now not so great, great and he really forgot what you did for him 20 years ago or 15 years ago? You can even connect him to a lie detector and you see that he really forgot. He forgot. You remember I did this for you? Remember I drove you to there? Remember I gave you a check? Remember I did that? Remember I— I honestly don't remember. I swear I don't remember. I apologize. I don't remember. It's insulting. Or he sees you on the street and he doesn't recognize you, forgot who you are. "Wow, I used to come to your lecture, Rabbi. You don't remember me? I was by your house for Shabbat. You don't remember me? I'm sorry, you know, I'm not such a young man. I don't have such great memory anymore." What can he say? Insulting, right? But which one is more insulting, that he really honestly forgot you, or he knows who you are but he pretends pretends he doesn't know you, pretends he forgot you. Which one of the two is worse? Huh? He said pretending is worse. Why? Why it's worse? Either way, he doesn't pay you any gratitude. Attitude, whether he really forgot you or he pretends he forgot you. Which one of the two is worse? I disagree with you. I say it's worse when he really forgot you. Who can explain why I said what I said? some kind of disease, he forgets. It's not his fault. He's sick, for example, he gets some Parkinson's, he forgets. It's not his fault. Oh, we're not talking about whose fault it is right now. That's not relevant. We are talking someone forgot all the good you did to him 15, 20 years ago. Forgot. Forgot you, forgot your favors, forgot everything. Or someone that remembers all of that but pretends now that he's He forgot. Pretend he doesn't know you. Huh? So what are you saying? It didn't mean enough for him to remember, that's why he forgot? That's why it's worse? I disagree. I mean, we both agree that it's worse then he forgot you completely for real. But the reason why it's worse, I disagree with you. Who can tell me why it's worse? I'll tell you why. When you really forgot all the good that something, someone did for you, and now you pay him bad for all the good he have done for you, You don't have any guilty feelings. You don't hate yourself. You don't suffer. Because in your mind, there is no recollection of what good he did for you. So you don't feel ungrateful. Your conscience will not turn on. There is no chance he will regret the bad you're doing to him. You think right now he deserves to receive bad for something he's done wrong. And you're attacking him and you don't ever remember all the good he did for you, or maybe some of the good you're not even aware that he did for you, it was behind the scenes. So you don't feel guilty. However, if you remember all the good but you for some reason have to pretend you don't know him because of what he has done bad, you don't want to be affiliated with someone like that, It will ruin your reputation. Ma, you're afraid of such a guy? You like such a guy? What are you going to say? He made 500 favors for me 20 years ago? I owe him? So you pretend you don't know him. But you feel guilty about it. So there is a chance that you make it up to him in a different way. You make it up to him in a different way. In our case, it didn't really make a difference. One way or the other, this Pharaoh went full force against us. He put us in slavery camps. Later, he started to kill our boys. What else worse could he what we have done. It was terrible. Now, we know that HaKadosh Baruch Hu promised to Yaakov Avinu in Genesis 32, verse 13, "I will multiply your children like the sand on the earth." Why Hashem love whenever He bless someone like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, whenever He blessed someone with lots of children, He either used the term like the sand on the earth or like the stars in the universe. Which one, by the way, is higher? The amount of sand that you have in the world? If you count one by one, one piece by one, how much sense you have? Thousands of thousands of trillions. Who knows? Nobody can ever know the number. And how many stars you have? 19-digit number. It's— in English they call it quadrillion. It's also a very big number. Thousands of thousands of billions. Stars. There's billions of galaxies and in each galaxy billions of stars and they're all moving. It's unbelievable system. So when Hashem say like the sand on the earth or like the sky, like the stars in the skies, on both cases it's clear that we are talking about unlimited amount of kids. It cannot count. You cannot count how many Arabs you have in the world. They're close to 2 billion. Before I finish the lecture, it will be 2.1. Why? By the time you finish the counting, you have another 100,000. Now you're gonna do another counting, you're gonna have another 100,000. You never get to the right number. Why? It's like the debt of United States. In Manhattan, they still have that number on the screen. If you want to read the number. If you want to read the number, you're starting to say, it's 36 trillion, 250 billion, 551 million, 725 thousand, $221.21. A very long number. By the time you start until you finish, there is another billion added to the debt. Careless of Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe. It's always growing, the debt. Until one day the Chinese would lose their patience. Especially now when Trump wants to put 100% or 200% tariff on their cars and merchandise, meaning the celebration here will stop. All these cheap Amazon orders and Temu and Alibaba. $5, $7, heater for $15, charger for $2. This party is about to be over. If this charger will be made in the United States, it'll be $25, not $2. Everything comes from China is very cheap. If they're going to put 300% tax, that means it's gonna be 4 times more expensive. Things that you buy right now, a chair that you buy for $20 made in China will cost $80. That's the same amount like to make it here in the United States. But 1 billion Chinese in 1 year will starve to death. All these thousands of thousands of factories, that each factory have thousands of workers, will be out of China, as retaliation, will say to United States, "Okay, give us all our investment in United States right now. You anyway past due. Give us back $30 trillion, whatever we owe them." And United States doesn't even have a dollar of it to give. They print money like crazy. But they They won't be able to print $36 trillion or $30 trillion. We have to see what portion of the $36 trillion— most of it is to China. And United States would say to China, we're not paying you back. That means United States will default on the loan. What will happen the next moment? The dollar will crash to almost zero all over the world. United States will be officially bankrupt. Therefore, if you would like to buy a ticket to fly to Europe, you will have to spend a year of income just to fly to England because the dollar won't have a value. It happened in Argentina, it happened in Greece, it happened in— what's the name? Venezuela. And few countries. Bankrupt. Iran, their currency, if you sell a beautiful mansion in Iran and you bring the money here, you cannot buy a bathroom in Harlem with this money. Take the worst neighborhood in New York. I don't know which one it is. The worst, the most dangerous one. Nobody wants to live there for free even. A value of a bathroom there is more than own a beautiful mansion with garden and pools in Iran. Their currency doesn't have any value. You can only eat and live normal if you live in Iran. You want to take your money out from Iran, anywhere you're gonna go, you're not gonna be able to buy a napkin. In the time of the Shah, it wasn't like that. Their currency was almost like the dollar. The Persian Jews that came in 1980 when Khomeini came. They came here. It was hard to take money out, but those who were able to take rugs and diamonds and this, they had value. So the dollar will crash and there will be a world war between the United States and China. And I don't have to tell you what kind of a war it's going to be. Maybe that's what's going to be Gog u Magog. Two biggest countries in the world in a nuclear war over money. But it won't be only money. You will have a billion Chinese starving. You see, 40, 50 years ago, a Chinese would make $50 a month. Now they make $1,000 a month. 20 times more. Why? Because China became a very very rich country. When I was in China, I could not believe I was in Shenzhen, Guangzhou. Every car that I saw on the street was a Bentley and a Ferrari. It's unbelievable. Just like you see cheap cars here and minority of the cars here are fancy, over there is the opposite. You have a regular street, 7 lanes to each direction. It's a street, it's not a highway. If you want to cross the street, it takes you almost 5 minutes from one side of the street to the other side. And you see 1,000 cars waiting for a green light. Every one of them, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari. I asked the guy there, "What's going on here?" He said, "Ah, they became very rich." There are thousands of factories here. Each owner of a factory makes hundreds of millions selling to the whole world. Everything in the world is made in China. Those people will remain rich. It cannot make them poor. But from now on, they won't make money. That's it. No one will order from them. Not leather couches, not electronics, not phones. All the companies that that make iPhones and Android in China and in these countries, they will not want to make it there because of Trump. It's not worth it. So they go to India, they go to other countries. That means China will be a wounded lion. Good luck standing next to a wounded lion. So it's not so simple what Trump said. It's a lot of politics. Politics. He's a very good poker player. You need to know when to bluff in a poker game, to pretend you have 3 aces but you have nothing. And the person is afraid and is surrendering. The question is, who is colder as ice, him or the President of China? It's a mind game between two dictators that are very aggressive. Who is gonna surrender first? The Chinese are very tough, very tough. It's in general, you cannot get a discount from them. I order the USBs from them, the books. You want to take 1 cent down from the price, they don't agree. It's unbelievable. I tell them I'm going to someone else, they still don't It's very difficult. Good luck telling them now we're gonna put 300% tax on your property. What's gonna happen? They'll put tax on everything in America and they will demand their money or they stop using the dollars. They will retaliate. Before we realize, the world can go into spinning in such a way that no one will know how to get us out of here. Out of it. That's why in one end we thank Hashem, Trump, Republicans, pro-Israel, anti-terrorist, anti-Iran. But we don't know what can happen. One good thing already happened: the liberal president of Canada resigned— prime minister of Canada. That's already a great achievement. Other countries already surrendering. Okay, let's talk. Mexico, they won't have a choice. They'll have to agree. Panama, they're about to lose the canal. All the income of Panama come from the canal. People, every boat that pass, pay them some kind of a fee. He's about to steal it from them. Denmark is about to lose this huge island. What's the name of it? Greenland? Greenland. He offers them a few trillions of dollars for the island. Why? It's full of gold and full of minerals and full of things that you're going to make obviously a lot more money. But it's more important for national security because it's facing Russia. If your island will be yours, you're gonna put a million American soldiers there. It's gonna become a military place. You are right in front of Russia. There's nothing Russia can do. United States will be very close to them. Plus, while you're there, you're gonna make billions of dollars every month. From what you can get out of the land. Knowing Trump, I don't believe he's going to pay them anything for that. He's just suggesting now, let's sit for negotiation and I should pay you. But he will bully them in the negotiation that they will beg him to take it for free. You wait and see. Mark my words. Words. Let's just finish, Rabotai. So why Hashem sometimes use the sand and sometimes the stars? I'll tell you why. What's better to compare the children of a person that got a blessing to multiply to the sand or to the stars? Why to the stars? Stars is more kashuv than earth? In Hollywood it's more kashuv, but in the Torah you have to be humble, down to earth. Avraham Avinu said, 'I am a worm that crawls on the sand.' should be a sand. Shining to other nations. No, I'll tell you the reason why it's better to be compared to the sand. The sand is united, it's all attached to each other, it's brotherhood. Each piece touches friend, they're all together. Like a thousand people, they all hug. The stars are separated, no unity. One is there, one is there, one is there, and everyone move, moving. No connection between them. When Hashem compare us to the stars, that's negative. Everyone in his own place, nobody cares about the other, no kiruv, no chesed, no help. Nobody dies for his friend, nobody cares for his friend. That's very bad. Many, and everyone hates each other. But the sand, it's one piece. But when does the sand become one piece? Not many pieces that are attached. One piece, a chunk that you can pick it up and throw it inside on someone. It's mamash chunk, like size of a melon. When do you pick up with one hand so much sand and it doesn't fall apart? When it's wet with water. Water is Torah. The Torah is always compared to water. Why? Because water always go with gravity. To the lowest place possible. The water will only park in the lowest place. If it's right here, but it can continue to crawl down, it will go lower and lower until it would reach the bottom. Why? The only way to become a Talmid Chacham, somebody that knows all Torah, is to be down all the all the way to the bottom, humble. If you're up there, all the Torah you learn will be vanished because the tool, the tool is impure. You want to observe all the Torah, you have to be down to earth. The sand, the water will come to the sand. And Maimonides says, when the water touched the sand, Not only it unites it, it becomes one chunk, one piece. You move one piece, all the pieces move together. You hit the twin, the other twin brother is suffering. You hit the husband, the wife say, "Aye." We will finish with the story, the rest I'm gonna do tomorrow, more of the Parasha tomorrow. There was a war between Napoleon, started to occupy the whole world, one country after the other. Napoleon Bonaparte. It was over 200 years ago. After he finished with everyone, you know, he came to Israel, he saw the Jews sitting on the floor crying with candle. He asked, "What happened to them that they're all crying?" He said, "They're crying for their temple that was destroyed." So Napoleon said, "When did it happen?" They told him, "1800 years ago." "1800 years ago and now they remember to cry?" He said, "No, they cry like this all the time for their temple. The house of God was destroyed, so they cry." So Napoleon said, "What?" Until today they cry. A nation that is connected to its past, to the history of the nation, has a future. You're not detached from your past. That's why you have a future. After all of that, now his final battle is against the Russians. Russians. Cossacks, 5 pounds of pork for breakfast, 20 eggs. Every Russian is a gorilla. He has to go and fight the Russians now. But he has a very strong and trained army. And they're already very experienced. See, when the war started with the Arabs, with the Hezbollah and Hamas, the Israeli army was in the worst condition. Condition it's ever been since 1948. No equipment, confusion, run by lefty liberal traitors and fools and idiots that care about the enemy but they don't care about their own brothers. From the top politician to the bottom soldier, everyone is messed up. Took 2 weeks to start the retaliation because there was no equipment. No bulletproof vest, no helmets, no flashlights. Mammash disaster. But the soldiers in reserve that they called them on an emergency call, they already forgot how to use the weapon. They were not called for training. Why? Training costs money. And they cut two-thirds of the budgets of the army. They cut almost all the— they made the army smaller and less sufficient. Two weeks it took the soldiers to get them into a situation that they can run. People with belly in their 40s, they run now. The uniform cannot even fit them. This is I know how it was. I know, I speak to them all the time in the beginning of the war. I had a guy, Moti Schlush from Brooklyn, started to raise money from wealthy people to send bulletproofs from Greece into Israel because the army could not afford to buy bulletproofs. And that's the difference between life and death when you go into the battle because you get a bullet in the chest. With this vest, you get saved. Without it, you die. That's how bad it was. That's how the lefty liberals put us to sleep. They make us numb 25 years. The Hamas is scared. It's good for us they are there. Hezbollah will not dare. Everything is under control. The only thing we have to focus on is Iran. Everyone lived in a la-la land. A dream, all the Israelis. And what happened? They did not even know there are thousands of tunnels, and each tunnel is tens of miles away. They have no idea about this. They were not ready for the war. But today, after a year and a half, I can tell you without any doubt that the Israeli army by far is the the best army in the world. The best. Why? A year and a half of nonstop fighting. You have no choice. You have to be the best. You have to be the best. With the Jewish mind and the Jewish technology and the American technology, which is just as good, and the spirit of so many religious and people from the settlements, all these heroes that gave their life to defend us. We were progressing and becoming better while the war was progressive until now. I speak to the soldiers now, it's nothing to compare. Now everything is perfect. But we still have one problem and that's why we keep losing and dying. The lefty liberal trend traders are cooperating with our enemies, that we should die and the enemy should win. Remember, we have a lot of Bernie Sanders inside us, and they want Hamas to win. So they will send Israeli soldiers, 30 of them, into a building that is fully booby-trapped, and they know it, just not to hurt one Palestinian civilian that may be in a building. 30 soldiers will die to find a woman that cheered when Jewish kids were raped and burned alive. For the life of this monster woman, we have to sacrifice 30 of our heroes, holy people that goes and fight. Why? Because the lefty general said so. Do you understand? When Arab terrorists Israelis die, he cries more than when an Israeli soldier in his unit dies. That's how they are, these lefties. They are the real enemies way before the Hamas. They are the real enemies. So what happened? The army is not able to fulfill its ability. In the beginning of the war, they didn't have an stability. They were all messed up, not trained, rusty, very rusty. But now they constantly fix things. They are good now. If now the war would start, it will be a lot faster and much less people maybe would die because in the beginning everything was confused. But, you know, it is what it is. Napoleon has to go to fight against the Russians. The Russians are very strong, but Napoleon's army is mercenaries from all over the world. They're getting paid. He has Italian, he has French, he has all kinds of soldiers from different countries, but they're all very trained. So he has to start the battle with Russia. He sent one of his generals to meet the biggest rabbi, the student of the Gaon of Vilna, Rav Chaim Ivoloshin, Baal Nefesh HaChaim, and told him, that's a very holy rabbi, go and ask him for blessing. He sent his people, Napoleon, his generals, they met with the rabbi. He said to him, rabbi, 'What do you think will happen between the war, between us and the Russians?' The rabbi told him, 'The Russians will destroy you.' Just like that, in their face. 'What? We occupied the whole world. Nobody was able to win us.' He said, 'But by the Russians, you're going to lose. That will be the end of you.' So he told them why. And when he say, you know, now the mountains, winter, snow, the Russians are ready for this cold weather. They're used to it. You are not so used to it. But that's not the reason. The main reason is, I'll tell you a story and you get it. There was one rich man who had a carriage and he bought 4 horses. One horse from England, one horse one horse from America, one horse from France. The best horses, the best one in France, best one in America, best one in Saudi Arabia. He put them all together in one fancy carriage and the rich man is traveling around. One time he got to a— it was a very rainy day. The wheels got stuck in a swamp. Full of mud. Half of the wheels are stuck in the mud. The driver is hitting one of the 4 horses. They're all, "Eee!" They're all jumping, but they're not pulling the carriage out of the mud. He hits the next horse. They all jump in the air. He hits the next one. They don't move. And now he's stuck and it's pouring rain and lightning. Then all of a sudden, a carriage of a very poor man, all made from wood, very old, with two skinny horses. They don't worth a penny. Two skinny horses came, they got stuck in the mud. The poor man hit one horse, that was enough. One shot, boom! Both of them started to One, they pulled the carriage out of the mud. Now the generals of Napoleon, they're listening to the story that the rabbi is telling them and they say, "Okay, what's the moral of the story?" He said to them, "You know why by the poor man, two horses that are cheap and old and skinny was enough to pull the carriage out of the mud, but the best horses in the world couldn't get the carriage out. I'll tell you why. Because with the rich man, each horse came from a different country, like your army. One from Italy, one from this, one from England, one from France. All of you hate each other. Different culture, different mentality. Mentality, racism. People don't like strangers. You were forced to cooperate, but you all hate each other, and you're not fighting for your homeland. You're fighting for money. You want to just get paid and stay alive. You don't care if Napoleon win or lose. So when the rich men eat the first horse, It was the Sephardi. The Ashkenazi, the Hasid, and the Temani, they were very happy. Ah, the Sephardi got what he deserved. On purpose they don't run. Why? The Sephardi gets what he deserves. Then he moved to the Hasid. He's starting to eat the Hasid. The other three say, yeah, give it to the Hasid. He should learn. When he moved to the Litvish, then everybody else was happy. The Hasid, the Temani. When he hit the Temani, all 3 of them say, "Yeah, give it to him." Bunch of fools. If all 4, all 3 would feel the pain of the first one when he got the first shot and there was unity between them and they all love each other When one got hit, other three feel the pain. Immediately they begin to run because horses run when they get hit. Because they don't understand that the whip is right here above me, they begin to run. But because they all hate each other, on purpose they don't move that he should get what he deserves by the poor man And he bought two lousy horses. They grew up together. He feeds them together. They are brothers. They are from the same place, from the same barn. When he hit the first one, the second one felt his pain. Immediately started to help. The Russians are united. They are animals. They will die for their motherland. They're all united. They're fighting for their country. You have nothing to fight for. You hear it, Rabotai, or no? And that's what's happening. When you have unity, like the sand that gets wet, it's all become one piece. When there's no unity, one star here, everyone is shining. This Jew is a millionaire and this one is a billionaire and this one is a president and this one is a high-tech engineer and this one is a huge doctor and this one is a great surgeon and this one is a movie star and this one is some scientist. But no unity. No unity. No unity brings a lot of problems. And Maharal said that the soldiers of David HaMelech were all very religious. None of them was an idol worshiper, but they didn't get along together. The soldiers of Achav, wicked idol worshipers, some of them idol worshipers, but they When they all united, all the Reshaim together, when they went to the war, they win. The soldiers of David sometimes win, sometimes they lose. Why? Unity is a very strong tool. Today, even if we want to be united, we can't. Sometimes it's our fault that we're not united. And sometimes it's not our fault. For instance, if a Hasid that is religious is not united with the Sephardi that is religious, both of them are criminals. The Hasid is a criminal and the Sephardi is a criminal because they should have done everything they can to be lovers and brothers and die for each other because they are both the children of the same God that follows them. The same Torah. And it doesn't really matter that one looks like this and one looks like that and the accent is different or the clothing. It's stupid. On minor things they make a division between them, which is stupid. Same thing with the Litvish and the Yemenites and all Jews around. But when the righteous Jews are not united with the wicked Jews, that's an obligation. That's not a crime, that's a mitzvah. You're not allowed to be united with the wicked people. You must be separated from the wicked. You cannot be one unit with the gays and the mechalelei Shabbat and the thieves and the enemies of God and the people that spit on the Torah. You cannot even look in their face. It's a sin to look at the face of these lefties. Of these haters of Hashem, of the haters of Shabbat, of the haters of the yeshivot, which unfortunately it's two-thirds of the people in Israel. Hates yeshivot, hates rabbi, hate Torah. Two days ago they published an article about the Rav Yitzchak Yosef, the chief rabbi of Israel, former chief rabbi, he just resigned a few months ago. His brother took over. They wrote about some of the things he said while he was the chief rabbi. And of course, the things that he said, the leftists would get angry because they think, of course, the opposite of the Torah. There was— someone sent me a link. There was maybe about 70 comments. It was there for an hour. They just put to the article. But now probably there's thousands of comments. 70 comments. All 70 cursed him in such curses like they cursed Adolf Hitler. No less. No less. What they wishing him, how they make fun of him, how they call him names, how they curse his father, Rav Ovadia Yosef Zatzal. 70 out of 70 in Ynet, lefty liberal, like the New York Times of America, of Israel. 70 out of 70. Now, one person spoke highly about the chief rabbi. That's how much they hate Hashem. That's how much they hate the Torah. That's how much they hate B'churai Shivot. And that's how much they hate influential rabbis that speaks the truth loud. I'm sure that if the article would be about me, it would probably be the same. And it's an honor, by the way. If the wicked loves you, it's a very bad sign. I don't expect them to love him or to love me or to love any other kosher speakers in the world that speaks and teach the Torah correctly. Directly. If they would love us, that would be a very, very bad sign. Red light, red flag. But why to curse? Why to put down? Why to wish him to die? Or all kinds of things that I cannot even repeat. Now I want to ask you a question. With this kind of behavior and this kind of attitude, our nation have a future? Do we have a future? It's very much possible that for things like this alone, for much less than that, Jerusalem was destroyed. Read in the Gemara in Baveli and Yerushalmi why Hashem destroyed Beit Hamikdash. It's nothing compared to what I'm telling you here now. This article, how they cursed the chief rabbi, of holy rabbi. So for that alone, I can bring a total destruction to us, and thousands can die just for that alone, and hundreds can go in to become hostages and suffer hell just from this article alone. I hope that Hashem will have mercy on us and see what kind of stupid people live among us that he will come to the conclusion that they don't even deserve to get a smack. To give someone a smack means that you expect from him that he can become better. When you leave him alone, that means he's a dog. You don't give a dog a smack. He's a dog. What does he understand? You know, when you give someone a smack, that means you think in at one point that he, he can do better. That's why you punishing him, because I don't want you to repeat it, because you can do better. That's why I'm criticizing you. But if I stop to criticize you, that means for me worse than a dog. I hope that that's what Hashem thinks about this Rosh Chaim. I hope, because if not then a lot of problems are coming to us. Cannot avoid it. It's inevitable. That's it. It is what it is. So, we cannot be united with this kind of people that behave worse than dogs. It will bring us down. A minute with them, it will make us like them. You hear what comes out of their mouth, you hear their curses, you hear how they criticize rabbis, how they make fun of the Gemara, how they are pro-enemies, how they admire the enemies, how they want to make gay marriage and how they want Israel to become a nation of goyim with abomination and horrible things, how they curse the few honest members of the government. The few that are really honest, how they curse them and how they admire the lowlifes. Hashem, you think, expect us to be united with such people? They are worse than any monsters of the goyim that lived in this, the history of the world. Because remember the rule by Hashem. Someone like the president of Argentina, a goy, a lover of Israel, a lover of Hashem, and lover of Torah. If you put him on a scale and you put 1 million lefties on the other side of the scale, he's more righteous than all million of them combined. I'm not exaggerating in the eyes of Hashem. Why? It's all about who is with me and who's against me. Hashem expects us to be united with people who burn His Torah day and night and spit on His representatives and wants to close all the yeshivot and wants to marry men with men and women women with women and Jews with other nations. That's all they want. That's all they write about. You saw what Hashem did to Hollywood for destroying his world. You saw. And Hashem made sure they won't even have water to put it down. And he made sure to make strong wind. There is no such thing nature. Nature is all Hashem. Wind is Hashem. Water floods is Hashem. Extra rain is Hashem. Hatava in Hebrew, Hatava, the nature, numeric value God. Elohim, 86. Hatava, also 86. Why Hashem made his name and the title the nature also equal Dramatically to show you there's no such thing nature. I run nature. Sometimes it will be rain and sometimes the rain will stop. Why? Not to create floods. Sometimes I want floods and I'm gonna let the rain go 3 days in a row and the whole neighborhood is finished. The only reason the rain didn't stop is because in Rosh Hashanah I wrote that 500 houses has to be drowned. The day Rav Zion Levi, the chief rabbi of Panama, passed, he was learning in Poat Yosef with Rav Ovadia Yosef and Rav Menzion Abba Sha'ul in the same, the same time. Rav Ezra Attiya sent him to Panama to be the chief rabbi of the Syrian community. They were not so strong back then. He made them a lot more religious. He was strict. He wasn't a faker. And he said, over here, anyone who will marry the non-Jew cannot enter the synagogue anymore, not even on holidays. And cannot live in a community. Is in a total ban. No one is allowed to come near them. They have to get up and move. They cannot live in our community. Why? They betray the Torah, they betray the community, they betray Hashem. They cannot live here. 20 of them is an entire career there. Did it and moved. And where did they move? The Jews wants to be together. They still want shul. They still want to spend holidays together. So one moved next to the other. He married Goya, he moved to that place close to the water, to the beach. Another one did it, he laid there, he moved next to him. And another one. And 20 in probably decades. Over there they were very strict. Even converts could not be a part of the community. They don't want to open the doors to all kinds of strangers. I worked very hard to make everybody here attached to Hashem. The day of his funeral, Hashem made a hurricane. All 20 houses of these 20 weeks Wicked people flew in the air. Coincidence? You have to be super stupid to think it's coincidence. It's a famous story. Two different people told me that story in Panama. Two different people. It's a known story. Hours after he went up to the court of heaven, I'm sure that when this subject came up and Hashem was complimenting him for being strict and keeping the community holy and throwing out the rotten apples out of the basket because before everybody else will become rotten like them. First thing he said that he demand that Hashem will do something about these wicked people. And Hashem say, your wish is granted. One wind, 20 houses flew in the air. I think if you're smart, you don't need any more seminars or proofs. What are the odds? Plenty people betray the community, betray the Torah, betray their Halacha. The rabbi then warned them and threatened them and begged them in the beginning not to do it, but they went anyway and did it. A minute after or 5 hours later, whatever it was, same day, all of them got a massive punishment. You know, when the house is getting burned or flies in the wind, it's not just the value of the house like some fools things. Ah, he has insurance. No, you fool. We're not talking about the money. The money is the least of the problem. It's lifetime memories. You raise children there. Your parents were there that they no longer alive. All your wedding pictures, all your documents, all your business documents. Maybe cash was hidden there. Maybe we were out there that there is no way to restore anywhere in the world. It's not just the house. House? What is a house? Sheet rocks and some wood and some metal. It's not even relevant. Yes, insurance, no insurance. And if he's a billionaire and a $3 million home were burned and he doesn't have insurance, is it going to affect him? By tomorrow we will make the $3 million. 3 million again. It's not the point. Tell him, would you rather lose 10 million instead of 3 but keep all your documents and all your pictures and everything? What do you think he would say? Of course. All his children's weddings, everything is burned. The laptops, the computer. If he has a Bitcoin with a hard drive, can be $200-300 million on the Bitcoin in a Safe. It got burned. There's no way to restore it. Wiped out like 50 houses. People think, ah, the house was burned. No. Where are you going to start now? You have to renew your license. You have to buy new clothes. You don't have anything. Don't have a pen. You don't have a pot to cook. No, no, nothing. No coffee machine. No No clothes, no nothing, no watches. Everything was burned. You stand in the street, see your house is burning, and now you have such headache, will take you years to get back to a normal lifestyle. When you lose a phone today, a phone, and everything is backed up on Google and the cloud, do you know what a nightmare it is? To get a new phone and to start downloading everything. And of course, not all the numbers come. Every time my phone died, I never replaced a phone for luxury. Never. I would go with the phone 20 years as long as it works. I don't care about advanced, all kinds of features. Last thing I care about. The only time I had to change phones is when the other one died. Doesn't work. Finished. That's it. Either got wet or it's too old now, stuck, some buttons don't work. Okay, the phone is finished. Now I have to move all the numbers and now people call you, you don't know who they are because you don't have all the numbers. It never restore 100% and there's apps that you don't remember which apps you had and you have to restore your passwords and you have to go back to all your bank and this and that and they ask hospital and such a nightmare. 3 days from your life you waste. And that's when you have everything backed up. Some people, they don't think about the future. They live the moment. Nothing is backed up. They don't even know the address of their office to put in a GPS. They don't know their wife's telephone number because it was stolen in the phone. They don't know anything. They lost everything. They don't even know the telephone numbers, which credit card I have, all the pictures, it's all gone. They don't have a backup. It will take them years, if any. Every time I change phone, I lost very valuable things and I always make backup. Some things are gone. I look for someone's important number, I cannot find it. Yes, I even had in my previous phone few telephone, secret telephone numbers of some of the government members. Nobody has these phones. When I was there, I received it directly from them. Some of them transferred to the new phone. Two of the numbers did not transfer. No way to restore it. And there's nobody to ask to. Why? Because the people don't have these numbers. There's general number and there's a secret number that like only family and very close friends can call. You always lose something. So when a house is flying in the air and you stand on the street and you have nothing, where are you going to go to sleep tonight? What a punishment. Don't have mattresses, you don't have anything. Who's going to make a lot of money from the tragedy of Los Angeles? You know, in every tragedy there are some people who become multimillionaires, like in COVID, all the vaccine companies, a lot of the doctors, a lot of the places that give the vaccine and the and COVID tests. A lot of people became very rich from that while everybody else suffered. Who do you think is gonna make now a lot of money in the next 2-3 years besides Home Depot? All the construction people. Flood damages, restoring water damages, fire damages, construction, painting, shaving, framing, trucks. A lot of people, their business was dead. They had a big recession last few years, didn't make any money. I know one personally, he did not make money. He had to close and cut and fire people. Now he doesn't have enough people. The amount of calls he gets He doesn't have enough people. He has to hire probably, I don't know, tens of new people to train them. I have to train them to walk. All of a sudden, 180 degrees, a life of a person changed like this. People that invested money by small banks in California, get your money out quickly. Don't leave money in small banks. If —its nationwide banks also take your money out. Why? Soon they're gonna have a lot of defaults on the mortgages. People that their house were burned, especially those that the insurance company dumped. They dumped a month or two before. Many houses in California, they canceled their insurance. Their banks gonna have to lose the money on the houses. But it's not Small losses. Each house is $15, $20, $25, $30 million. Multiply by thousands of houses. In California, the biggest garbage house is $2 million. You don't have less. $2 million and up. So even assuming that each house was only $2 million, you have already almost 2,000 homes that were burned. Multiply by $2 million. It's billions of dollars. Banks would have to lose the money. Also, people that have business loans and their business got burned, they won't pay it. It will be similar to 2008. It takes time. For now, the banks don't feel it yet because it's only one payment that probably will be missed. Some people maybe still have some savings. They will still make a few more payments. They don't want to ruin credit. But soon it's gonna be a big snowball, and one thing leads to another, and a lot of big companies will collapse. You gotta use your head. You have to use your head. Many people go to small banks because they offer more interest on the money you have there. Don't be a fool. For the 1% extra they pay you a year, it will make you lose all your money. Because on one day you're going to open the news and you're going to find out that this bank is closed, and you only insured up to X amount. It will take you 100 years to get your money from the government. You're not going to get it the next day. So that's why the big banks, they don't care about you. Chase Bank, they treat people worse than garbage. They decide to close accounts. They decide you You deposit a check, they hold it for 2 weeks even though the money was paid after 1 day. Paid from the person's account, they keep it on hold for 2 weeks. Why? They tell you on your face, get lost. You don't like it, we'll close your account. Why? They know everybody wants to come to the big banks because of the unstable situation in the country right now. You have no choice. You have to suffer and keep the money in a strong bank such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase. Don't put in small banks. Small banks in one day can go bankrupt. One big client who borrowed from them $50, $100 million stopped to pay and they can already put them bankrupt. You saw a year or two ago what happened with the banks in California. The government acted very strong. The government actually saved the situation. One thing they did good was the way they handled it. But they were lucky that it was only 2 or 3 banks. If it would be 20, the government will leave them alone to drown. And then we All suffer. I told you the story about my good friend that on Friday, Erev Shabbat, he told me, "I lost everything I have." I was with him. What's the name of the bank that all the religious people use? Huh? No, no, no, in Brooklyn. Signature Bank. I have a guy that supported my yeshiva for many, many years. On Friday, a few minutes minutes before Shabbat. I just realized that the checks that he sends every month to the yeshiva have his signature bank logo on it. Few minutes before Shabbat, I send him a message. I hope you're okay. I hear that your bank collapsed. He answer me, Baruch Hashem, I lost everything I have. I felt terrible this whole Shabbat. Motzei Shabbat, they open They saw on the news the government took over the bank. Everything is as usual. Nobody lost a penny. I told him only because so many religious Jews, rich religious Jews, use this bank and they give so much tzedakah, Hashem made them such a miracle that the government actually covered way more than the FDIC. FDIC's maximum $250,000 per person. There are people who have tens of millions of dollars. The government covered everything. They didn't have to. That was a clear miracle. Almost all the customers of this bank were religious Jews. Check. Hashem made a clear miracle. Not one of them lost a penny. I told him, why don't you open a new account in a different bank and move everything? Everything. He said, no, no, there's nothing to worry about. I said, right now the government saved them. You don't know what can happen a month from now. Move to a different bank. No, they assure us everything is fine. Nothing to worry. Still stay with this bank until today. He was lucky. Other people were not lucky. Silicon Bank, this. All the lefties from the high tech in Israel, they were very angry. That they want to replace judges in the Supreme Court, lefty judges. They move their money from Israel to the Silicon Bank. The next day, the bank collapsed. Hundreds of millions of dollars of lefties got burned the next day. Don't you see the hand of Hashem? Some people see, but they don't see. Some people see, but they really see. Depends if you want to see. What you don't want to see, you train yourself to ignore. People that see miracles in their life train themselves to ignore it and say that it's nature. I got lucky. Good luck. Bad luck. People that are being punished, bad luck. Bad timing. It's my fault. It's my wife's fault. It's my partner's fault. It's my son's fault. My stupid son, because of him. They train themselves to think and to act like atheist, heretics people. People that live with Hashem every minute of their life, in everything they see Hashem. I'm already trained myself in such a way, I look at the wood, I see Hashem. I look at I look at the apple, I see Hashem. Everything I see, I see Hashem. I look at these glasses, I see Hashem. I talk to this microphone, I think, wow, how Hashem made it. What an unbelievable thing. A book, everything, it's all Hashem. A cup of water, it's Hashem. You're blind if you don't see it. You see your body, you have one pain inside your stomach. It can be 5,000 different reasons. Maybe prostate, maybe the muscles, maybe the stomach, maybe gas, maybe cancer, maybe this kind of cancer, maybe pancreas, maybe liver, maybe this, maybe that. Wow, you know how many things? You cannot believe how many possibilities. You come to Google it, I have pain in this area, they give you 50 different options. Maybe this, maybe a hernia, maybe you have that. And all of them have similar symptoms. You have to be an expert doctor to know. If you have a very good doctor, it's like having a good rabbi, a mitracham. With one tiny detail, he gets the whole point, the difference. Not everyone is clever. Sometimes you talk to a doctor, oh, we have to, we need with MRI, I cannot tell you. MRI, it's easy. Everyone with MRI would see. But the clever doctor will know the difference. They ask me, they have fever? When you cough, you see blood? When you press over here, you feel pain? The pain is always— he makes an investigation on the phone. He already detect the problem. Same thing with computers. I had a guy when I got my first laptop. I never saw in my life such a genius in computers. He used to work for McAfee. He was driving in a car and he was telling me what to do with the computers that freeze and there's nothing you can do. What do you see here? Press here. Do you see this? He knows already in advance what I'm supposed to see while he's driving. I told him, you're the Ravadiah Yosef of the computers. And Baruch Hashem, I have a great guy today that is also good, but you can see the difference. It's not the same. My guy, he will have to check, he will have to Google the problem, have to see what people reported. This guy didn't need to check anything. Right away from what you tell him, you see on the screen, he would already know what caused it. Go over there, go over there, how much is this, what does it change, the numbers that move. 'Tell me that number, tell me that color.' Then when he comes to the computer, he talks to you and fix the problem without even looking. 'It's this, that.' He fix everything, every problem right away. Now one time he was confused. Good doctor is also, he can detect. But the best doctor is right there. The more you connected to him and to His Torah, you become a little bit more and more like Him every day. That's why I always tell you, Ashkafa, Ashkafa, that's the most important thing in life. Ashkafa in English means ideology. You have to become Hashem in your thinking. Cannot become Hashem in your physicality, but in your thinking you can learn so much. You see, I just asked I asked them one question. Usually I like to ask few questions in every lecture to the people. And Eliyahu, who usually is always on the dot, "Which one is worse? That the king pretend that he knows you or didn't pretend?" It's a very hard question. It looks like a very, very close call. One detail makes it— they're all different. But the more you learn, the more you think and analyze things like a gem, like Chazal, like the Gemara. You see how the Chachamim used to think, how they used to check. You know, there's one person that had a court case. They told me the judge froze all the accounts until the two partners will bring all the proofs. I said, why? But both sides admit that at least half of the money you deposit into the account. The other side doesn't deny it. Why the judge have to freeze what you put in the account? They admit that it's yours. The other half you claim it's yours and they claim it's them. There is a Gemara like this, Baba Metziach, Naimu Chazin Bet Halit. The half that nobody argue about, the judges have to release immediately to the person. But what do you expect from this goy judge? He learns Gemara. What does he know? He doesn't know who's right, so he frees everything. But the argument is only over half of the money. The other half was there all along, and everybody agreed that it belongs to this person. Give him what's his and argue about what? It's not clear. I don't take risks. Why? Because he cannot think. He cannot use his head. It's like a robot. There is a delegation, you freeze everything until the verdict. That's not how it goes by Hashem. Why torturing the righteous? There is money in a doubt. Everybody has to be proved. Prove who the money belongs to. But when there's money in the account that nobody argue, even your enemy say it's his money, why are you freezing it? Because you're a stupid judge. And there are plenty of them here and in Israel and everywhere else you go. When people used to come to Rav Ben Zion Abba Sha'ul to the courtroom, even the Chilonim were breathtaking. You're shocked from his brilliance. How from a movement he would detect right away what you wanted to say but you didn't. How with his brilliance he used to get the truth out of people until they were so ashamed that they had to confess. Oh, I can give you thousands of cases like this in a bedding. But the judges of today, that's a different story already. That's what we pray every day in tefillah shemoneh esrei. Ashiva shoftenu kevarishona, veoatzenu kevatechila. Bring our judges as it used to be. I want to remind you, this was written 2,000 years ago. Meaning the Chachamim of 2,000 years ago were crying how the judges in their days are so much less than the judges used to be hundreds of years earlier. Imagine if they would see the clowns today that sit in the courtrooms, all these gay liberals, all these wicked idiots who eat all kinds of rats and porks and who knows what else. And their mind is clogged completely and they have to rule about millions of dollars in a courtroom. Imagine this. Ah, Hashem yatzilenu. I give every one of you a blessing that you don't need any doctor, even an expert, and you will never need to be in the hand of any judge. Even a smart judge, the stress is not worth it.
