Rabbi Mizrachi In Bet Shemesh Israel (2019) - An Inspiring Talk

In this extensive, impassioned lecture, the speaker (Rabbi Mizrachi) weaves together biblical exegesis, kabbalistic numerology, and contemporary social critique to outline a roadmap for true Jewish righteousness. He begins by exploring the Hebrew word "ma'ot" (money) and its mystical link to the divine eye (Ayin), arguing that generous tzedakah that hurts the giver is spiritually salvific. He then condemns the practice of honoring wicked individuals—politicians, rabbis, and public figures—labeling it as "kissing up" and a betrayal of Torah values. The core of the talk presents four essential components for personal sanctity: (1) maximal observance of mitzvot, (2) strict avoidance of transgressions, (3) refinement of character traits (midot), and (4) a correct Jewish ideological framework (ashkafa). The speaker critiques modern institutions—universities, political leaders, and even some religious establishments—arguing they propagate heresy, moral relativism, and a false sense of security. He highlights societal decay in modesty, sexual permissiveness, and political correctness, urging listeners to resist these trends. The lecture also stresses the spiritual power of silence and refraining from sin, citing biblical examples (Lot, Abraham) to illustrate that even inaction can merit great reward. Finally, he encourages questioning and critical thinking within yeshiva settings, warning that fear of “fake religion” drives many youth away, and calls for a return to authentic Torah study and leadership.

Now we're going to start the Zlatoshem to think what to talk about. It's a nice name, huh? Why do you call money ma'ot? In Hebrew, money has a lot of names: damim, kesef, ma'ot. Why do you call it ma'ot? Because it's written: Ine en Hashem el yire'ah. Here is the eye of Hashem watching Do zufirim, la miachalim lechastot. What's the significance of Hirashamayim? If somebody asks you, what is it, Hirashamayim? What is it? Is he afraid from the punishment? Is he afraid to be afraid to look in the eyes of Hashem? Is he afraid that people would think he's a Rasha? What is the significance of Hirashamayim? Is he embarrassed from Hashem? One of the examples of being Yeresh Hamayim is that you're hoping and wishing for Hashem's salvation every minute of your life. That's Yeresh Hamayim. Inne'eh Hashem eni re'av lamiyachalim lechasdo. Who are you calling? I call Hashem. Why are you living all day? Hashem. Hashem, Hashem. Shiviti Hashem elohim ami. That's called Yeresh Hamayim. And it's written, "Tzedakah tatil mimaveh." Tzedakah can save a person from death if he gives enough. If he put a quarter once a week, no. How exactly is it going to save your life? Yeah. But if he puts an amount that hurts, it hurts when you give it, that means it's a substantial amount, right? This kind of tzedakah tatil mimaveh. If you put Ayin in the middle of the word Ma'aret, it becomes Ma'ot. You give money, you put the Ayin in the middle of the word Ma'aret, it becomes Ma'ot. When you give Ma'ot, money, the Passuk: Ine'en Hashem ve'yere'ach. The Ayin of Hashem, that's why you put Ayin. Ayin, what's Ayin? Ayin, it's the letter also. Ayin is an eye and ayin is the letter ayin. You put the letter ayin in the word mafet, you get maot. You give maot, you get life. That's the secret of sakarta tzi mi mafet. The word shkalin, it's also money. Shekel, shekel, the shekel Hakodesh, right? Shkalin. How much is that in gematria? 480. Why is Moavite against the wife of the Malach Hamavet? That she helps him to kill people. What's her name? Lamed Yud Tav. One time I was in a Songashlishit in Monsey in a shul and Rabbi Ateret, you know him, he gave a speech there, Songashlishit, 22 years ago I think it was. And I have a friend, never got married. Now he's close to 60 years old, never got married. Back then I think he was 38. Trying very badly to get married. And the rabbi there said some kabbalistic idea that Satan has a wife and this is her name. My friend got up in front of everyone and said, it's not fair. Even the Satan has a wife and I still don't have. Everyone was on the floor from laughing. Good point. I said, "Maybe she do." One third gematria, 480. 480 against 480 to eliminate her, to eliminate them. Mason, fool. Is Gematria 103, like Emunah with the Kolel. Emunah also. Mazon is the tool that Hashem is using to test us in Emunah. That's what's written in the Torah. The man, don't keep for tomorrow. Trust me, I will feed you every day. Don't have to save. Trust me, every day I'll give you what you need. Whatever I give you today, eat and enjoy. People that saved, it became rotten, full of worms. So it's written, Hashem said, I'm giving them manna to see will they follow my Torah or not. What's the connection? In what kind of food you give me? Steak or chicken or bread? Yes, of course it is. If you get food, if you don't get food, it's a very big test in Emunah. Said he, we have a rule that most of us ignore. Why? Not because we want to be wicked. If somebody comes to a Torah lecture For sure, maybe he's wicked, but one thing I can swear that he doesn't want to be wicked. If he's wicked or not, only Hashem knows, and it makes sense, okay. But if he comes to Torah lectures, someone speak, that means he wants to be better. If you go to a professor that give a lecture about math, that means you want to be a better mathematician. You go to a soccer training, you want to be a better soccer player. You go to a special chef that teach how to cook, you want to be a better cook, right? If you come to Torah classes or lectures or Mussar talks or you listen in your car, that means you want to be better. If you become better or not, only Hashem knows. One of the rules that we don't pay attention to, it comes from ignorance. We just don't understand what we do, but it's Very severe, very severe mistake. It's written in Proverbs, Mishlei 17, verse 15. Matzdik rasha umarshia tzadik, toavat Hashem gamshnei. Justify the wicked person's action disqualify the action of the righteous person. Both scenarios make you despicable in the eyes of Hashem. And this means all of us are despicable in the eyes of Hashem. I know it's very painful to hear it. I include myself in the head of the list. But that's reality. What's written, written. You cannot argue. How many times we give compliments in our life to wicked people? How many times? Can't even count. Your cousin, your friend, your ex-wife. Rabbi is a great person. He's not religious, but he's a great person. Here you go. Or how many times we disqualify good deeds of a tzaddik because of jealousy, because because we don't like him, because he didn't give us enough credit. Something that is politics, pure politics. Oh, why don't you want him to speak here? Because he's a better speaker than me. If he speaks here, people won't like me. That's politics. That's called disqualifying a qualified person. Jealousy is one of the main reasons for it, but other reasons as well. In another place it's written, Omer la Rasha tzadikata. First of all, to understand, who knows what's the definition of Rasha according to Hashem, not according to Wynette, according to Hashem? Who knows? What's the definition of Rasha? Someone that has a cruel face? Someone that murders people for a living? What's the definition of Hashem in one sentence? He knows, but he chooses not to do. He knows that you're in that. He knows sometimes bad things and he chooses not to do bad things. He could be tzaddik also. What you say could be also tzaddik. I agree. Ungrateful. Ungrateful is one of the things on the list. I want something that defines the whole thing. The whole thing. Yeah, what does it mean to be lashon, wicked? Break one restriction. From the Torah purposely. That's the definition. He knows what I'm doing right now is against the Torah and he does it routinely. For instance, shaving with a razor. Shaving with a razor. Hey, it's not allowed. I don't like hair machines. I don't like. That's it. Hasha. But he's Shomer Hashabat. Of course. He goes to the Torah and Daf Yomi every day. Of course. He eats kosher. Of course. He keeps the holiday, of course. He's wife was a mikveh, of course. Shame on the raisins, that's it. Put his kids in public school. Like this. Right there. Hashem gave him all. He speaks a Shon Hara, not at the moment that he lost his temper and he lost control on his head. Because when a person lose his mind, sometimes he speaks a Shon Hara that cause him a huge damage financially. You know you're going to pay for that, but you cannot hold yourself. That's a different kind of Avera. I'm talking for fun. Every day nonstop negative, negative, negative, all day. I just gave you an example. A woman, religious, but not modest. The skirt above the knees, sleeves above the elbows, everything open, V here, V there, V all over. So that's Rasha. So now it's written, Omer la Rasha tzaddikata. You come to a person and he tells you, he's such a tzaddik, ikvu amil. It's a term to say you deserve Chasvei Shalom that an Arab will take his spear and stick it to your heart. That's what's written. Why? Because you say to a person that is wicked that he's a tzaddik. Now remember, we're not talking about secular guy that doesn't keep anything. And you come and say he's such a tzaddik. Here I understand the logic. We are talking a full Jew. He learns half a day in kollel and then he goes to work. Everything he does, but one thing routinely he breaks. Once a week, twice a week, every day. That's it. It's already lashon. So technically, almost you cannot give any compliments to anyone based on this. Almost to anyone. So, What else that falls in the category of hanufah? Kissing up, kissing up to people that don't deserve it. V'atai edaber al matsdik rasha ume'aper v'esrutosh elopefana velomi dere hanufah. Now that I think is kissing up. Kissing up, if I speak in front of the rich person, giving him compliments, hoping he will send me a nice donation check. That's called kissing up, chanufa. Or making him sit next to me on the stage in the shul, like he's the Baba Sali or something. Just because he has a nice big business. That's called chanufa. Everybody understand it. Even secular people will get angry. Look at this rabbi, disgusting. Why, why is it? Look, when I don't keep Shabbat, he doesn't want to shake my hand. This rich guy came, make him sit next to him on the stage. That's called Chanukah, Israel. Politician. What's good for me, that's what's good for Hashem. That's politics. Rabbi is not supposed to be politician. Politicians are living based on their lies. Everywhere they go, they tell people what they want to hear. They go to the Palestinian Authority: What's going on? It's a disgrace what the Israelis are doing to you. It's an apartheid. They come to Tel Aviv: Unbelievable! Such a crime! Rockets falling on civilians! What are these Palestinians thinking? We condemn strongly shooting rockets at innocent children and women. Men, it's okay. You can shoot at him from the other. That's politician. Hussein Obama used to be like this. Within 20 minutes, 2 different speeches. At least Trump is consistent. If he lies, he lies to everyone. He says the truth to everyone. Not 1 minute like this, 1 minute like this. At least it's consistent. Very good. So now we're talking that you compliment the wicked person, but he's not here. Oh, I'm not doing it for you to send me a check. No, means I believe in it. It's not politics. May a person who told you to love your brother, may he love you. May your father, may he love you. He's your son. It's very hard for you to criticize your son or to see negative about him. V'amar ki toavat Hashem. It doesn't matter even if his son makes you toavat. It's takeable. Ki adam hayav l'isno et oive Hashem. I know you heard this one, but I speak with proofs. Not from hunch or my daily feelings. I tell you what we did. If a person is not allergic to criminals, people that are criminals, you're not allergic, that's a sign that you do not love Hashem enough. Because if someone speaks at your father and you hug him, everybody knows you hate your father. If someone speaks at your father, you cannot shake his hand after that. Why you don't shake his hand? He speaks at my father's face every day. How can I shake his hand? Oh, makes sense. Sorry, I didn't know. If you want to hug your father's enemy, someone wants to destroy your father, and you want to hug him and give him compliment, how exactly you are lover of your father? If someone's ungrateful to Hashem every minute of his life, Make fun of the religion. Make fun of kosher food. Make fun of Shabbat. Make fun of Hasidic people. Make fun of your beard. Make fun of your yarmulke. Like this idiot judge who saw this woman on the show now on Independence Day. There's some beauty queen that became religious. She made teshuvah. She was Miss Universe, I think. You know, so she was the host of the show and she came with some kind of a turban inside, you know, the Empire State Building. And this liberal lefty judge, his eyes came out from anger. How can it be? This religious woman with this turban is hosting such a show, Independence Day of Israel? Went crazy and made fun of her and all kinds of things to criticize her. So one person told him, shame on you, if she was Fatima coming with this burqa, you will be the first one to stand and say, great, what a fantastic democratic city Israel is, a country Israel is. Giving equal rights to our brothers, the Hamas terrorists. They're better than the religious girl that she became modest. They went crazy in this Erev Rav. Half of the people in this country are like him. What do you think? Half of them. 18 mandats to Tommy Laffey. 16, I'm sorry. Each mandat, I think, is 30,000 people. That's half a million people from age 18 and up. Take all their children with them. Here you go, 2 million people. Hate Hashem, hate Torah, hate rabbis, hate yarmulkes, hate women that are bres madres. Love drugs, love all the garbage out there, love breaking Shabbat, love the enemies of Israel. Running to mourn together with the suicide terrorists in Gaza, in Jericho. "Ahmed, we feel bad for your son. Why your son had to die in the name of liberation against the occupation?" What occupation? What occupation? Jews always owned Israel. Always. The whole world knows. By the way, you know, I've been saying for a long, long time that if I would go to the United Nations, I would give such a religious speech over there, the whole world would shake. It happened this week. The Israeli Ambassador Danon gave a speech finally from the Tanakh. The whole world is rocking now. The goyim, wow, the Jews from Israel, Israel, from the Tanakh. Finally, it's just lucky that the Arabs are not so clever. If the Arabs would be clever in the United Nations, one of— I better cut it out for the people, not to give them ideas. No, it already happened. If the Arabs would be clever, one Ahmed would get up and say, Mr. Danon, can I ask you one question? You're holding the Tanakh in your hand with such zealosity. Do you keep one of the laws of this Torah? Do you keep the Shabbat? Your wife dressed like my wife? Or you eat pork? I don't eat pork. You're not a Muslim. I don't charge interest from my brother Muhammad. You're not a Muslim. My wife don't go in bikini in Tel Aviv, you know. My son will not dare to say that he has a boyfriend. In my country there's no things like this. If you want to do it, you will do it in the closet and stay there. But your son has a very nice talk show. He's a host, no? Flashing to the world about his abomination. You giving a speech from the Tanakh? First give the Tanakh, then come to preach to us in the name of the Tanakh. I will be the end of us. But if a religious person would go, they would bow down to him. They would bow down to him. Did you know Chinese people, almost all of them are atheists, you know? Some are Christian, some are Buddhists, most of them are atheists. It's against the law to be religious. In now in China, I was in China, they told me, I'm only going by what the Israelis that live there told me. They told me in China if they execute you, they execute thousands of people, your family has to pay for the bullet. They send you the bill for the bullet. Not that they need the $5 that the bullet costs, it's the humiliation. You created that monster, you're gonna pay for the bullet. That killed him. Okay. They told me a few things in China and I saw some of them on my own. In China they're passing now a law that everyone who will tell the authorities about a religious gathering will get a prize. So I told them, wow, that's very bad. So they're going to come to the synagogues. No, no, they're not after us. They're after the Muslims. There's a lot of Muslims here starting to make mosques in houses, prayers. If you come and tell them there's few Muslims in this house praying every day, they come. In China you don't have human rights, you know. They told me one day, one guy told me, I invested a million dollars in my office. One day the police came, you have 24 hours to get everything out of your office, we knocking down this building. Why? We want to make a road here. No human rights. Cannot appeal, you cannot complain. They knock down the building, you invested a million dollars, it's gone. They want to make a road, you finish. You get out, that's it. And they love the Jews. You go on a cab, they see you have a cup, they ask, where is from? Say Israel, Jewish. No one speaks such great English. Very smart people. They respect the Jews. I never saw in my life things that I've seen over there. For instance, I walk in the airport from the hotel to the airport, 5 minutes walk, and there's like a bridge connects you. I walk with one big suitcase and a carry-on. Every Chinese person sitting in the airport come to me, Sir, can I help you? In the beginning when I came, I say, okay, in New York they also want to help you for the $10 tip. That's how they make money. But over there it's not for the tip. No tip. And no wonder they don't ask for tip, they don't hint for tip, nothing. You come out, it's raining, right away the guy come with umbrella. So I ask them, tell me if this is because I have a Yuki power, it's to everyone. Say no, to everyone. That's their mentality. He walks with you with the umbrella. You want to go to the place, it's raining, you don't have umbrella, he will hold it. Take your coffee. Unbelievable what I've seen over there. And I've seen millions of people in China and not one of them was heavy. All of them extra, extra skinny. Unbelievable. Not one fat person in China. Nobody. I don't know if it's in their genes or it's their diet. Sushi. Oh, sushi is Japanese, I think. Anyway, now one fat person, I think, everybody's skinny like a stick. But all kinds of interesting things and they work like machines. A woman in a school, I never saw in my life such thing. I said to the guy there, this woman doesn't go home. He said, she's in the school serving things. I said, yeah, she's a machine. I had to see how she works, serving to hundreds of people meals. I spoke there one lecture after the other. Meal, lecture, bubbling, meal, lecture, bubbling, runs, comes back, pick up, this, that. Like a machine. In America, "Hey, how are you, Joe? Can you help me out?" "Hold on." And then if you give him $5, he can't help you. What is this? This is the world. Q: Yes, sir. K: What is this? What is this? Ah, time running out. Let's conclude. Conclusion of what I just said here. It says like this: Someone that does not despise the enemies of Hashem, as it's written in Tehillim 139, "Alo mesanecha Hashem esna," your haters are my enemies, David HaMelech writes. "Kayav le haklotam." What does it mean, "Kayav le haklotam"? "Mazinikle." "Nikle." What does it mean, "nikle"? "Kal." Make him a nobody. Make him a nobody. What do you mean? He's the Prime Minister of Israel. It's the Erev Shabbat. He's nothing. He's the President of Israel. A chagel Shabbat is nothing. Let him speak to the school. He's the President of Israel. He wants to come to speak in yeshiva. Absolutely not. Can't speak here. Orim, you cannot make me pray because you have a contradiction. You have to respect that. Orim. You don't put your parents down. But you do not stoop it. You know if your parents have a chagel Shabbat or not. You know, Galachot. But again, Rabotai, listen, I'm reading it to you. Don't say I say anything, you know. You're giving me too much credit. It's not me. It says also, Velo omer kafa, velo bechayam laklotam koshene emar ubozai ikalu. It's Samuel 8, chapter 2. It's written: "Ubozai ikanu." Those who have forsaken Hashem should be put down. "Kalim v'ze'ayish." This person not only doesn't hate them, not only does not put them down, he loves them and respects them and they are righteous in his eyes. How many sins he gained because of that, by giving respect to the wicked people? And because of him, people that see that he respects the wicked people, they do not despise their sins, and it does not look anything wrong in their eyes. And they say it's worth it to be We can look, "Ah, but the rabbi or the religious person honors me, and when he speaks, people give him respect, because if the rabbi respects him, why shouldn't I respect him? Didn't he invite him to speak in the shul? Why you respect Dr. Wood? Rabbi Ephraim give him a lot of respect when he wants from me." I also have to give respect. My rabbi give respect. Your rabbi is— He also brought a Nazi priest into the shul to speak Christianity. This is your rabbi. Why are you going to that shul? You're not supposed to pray with such a rasha. But that's it. People are not thinking. Eh, I want to be good with everyone. Someone said to you, I love Israeli soldiers, they give their lives to protect their land, but I also love the Hamas terrorists, they also give their lives to protect their land. Make up your mind, you fool. Who are you with? Can't be with Hashem and with his enemies. Choose a side. You cannot be a yawan ha'visrim, ad mataya temposrim, and shner seifim. How long you want to be modern orthodox, politically correct, one leg in a shul, one leg in a college, one leg in a yeshiva, one leg in Ynet? How long? Make up your mind already. When Mashiach come, it's written. And everybody asks, hehe, keep dreaming. There's never going to be a generation that everyone is righteous, and there's never going to be a generation that everyone is wicked. No, there's no such thing. You're always going to have some righteous people. You're always going to have wicked people. You can't fix the whole world. So Mashiach will never come based on that. No, you know, you did not understand this Mala B'Tov. The Mashiach and Ben David, the Messiah will not come only for those who actually were half and half, half wicked and half righteous. And now they become kulo sakai and kulo chaya. The world will split to two sides. Either you fully righteous or you fully wicked. There is no more traditional Jews, half and half. Those traditional Jews will have a grace period. Choose who you are. Are you ultra-orthodox? You stick to the real Jewish ideology 100% and you stop admiring these lousy professors. And all this nonsense that they teach tefillah in universities, and you go with Hashem, no problem, you get saved. You still want to be rotten professional with a little shekel yamaka on your head? You wait and see what happens to you when Mashiach comes. Read it clearly. Obed lo shekulo sakai, meaning the human being, not the whole generation. The whole generation is not possible. The human being, shekulo sakai, O kulokhaya, no more hafenaf. It has to be, because hafenaf Hashem doesn't know how to judge. Where would I put this guy? He keeps Shabbos, he keeps Tzaka, he eats kosher, he keeps the holidays, and he goes to the theater to watch goyish music from Hollywood. Yeah, or watching all kinds of shows, "Ah, but it takes me, I don't make depression." Let's check why you're in depression in the first place. Ah, you make so many sins, you get depressed, of course. The sin eats the Nefesh, so to speak. I want to conclude. Forgive me that I speak a little bit longer than you're used to. Not every day I come, you know. So I allow myself to force myself on you, because it's not myself, I force the Torah on you. And if I want to give you a diamond, I don't need to ask your permission. I'm sure you would like it. Torah is much more important than the diamond, and plus, from the body language of the people here, I don't see exactly that you suffer besides the heat. What can I do? That's my tikkun. And whenever you see I go to places, the air condition always breaks. It's only for me. The day I'm going to fix this dead meat out of myself that I'm boiling, the air condition will all be freezers. Just for me, last night, a chulon, 200 women on a tap with plates, paper plates. Why? Because it's my speech. It has to be hot. What can we do? I was going to have to turn it off, but after you said the fan story, I thought— You can add some salt to my wounds later then. Anyway, Rabbi Tzai, in order for you or anyone to be righteous, you need 4 things. 4 things in your life. First category, you have to keep as many mitzvot as possible. Positive deeds. Everybody understand that? Even the goyim knows it. Even chinoin knows it. Everyone knows it. Okay. Second category, you cannot make sins. You cannot violate restrictions of Hashem. You can't steal, you can't eat pork, you can't eat shrimps. You know, there's a lot of restrictions. Anyone understand that? Goyim understand that? You don't even understand that. That's what's allowed. What's not allowed? Okay. No need to be a genius to know these two. The next one, some religious people know, most religious people do not know. What's the third category? What is it? What else do you need in order for you to be in the category of the righteous people? Huh? No, that's the short one. What's the third one? Midot. To fix your bad character traits. You're angry? Get rid of it. Stingy? Get rid of it. You're jealous? Get rid of it. You're lazy? Get rid of it. You're selfish? Get rid of it. It's a lot of problems. Anger, ego, it's a disaster. It's poison, poison in your system. So most religious people are not aware of the necessity and the severity of not fixing the ego. They don't understand that if you are a proud, arrogant person, even if you keep all the mitzvot and you know the whole Shas by heart, You are now with the label on your forehead, "Despicable human being." That's what Hashem put on your forehead. And I know the whole chance may have, just as much as Rav Chaim Kanievsky knows. But you're not Rav Chaim Kanievsky. He has a very good sticker on his forehead, and you have a different one. Why? It's full of ego. Everyone has to bow down to me, everyone has to I'm the, I'm in charge. It's the whole world is for me. Everyone has to serve me. That's how people are in the house. The Gemara says that someone that is proud, even his wife and children cannot stand it. I always tell people, you want to know if the rabbi is kosher or not? Call his home number, not his cell phone, and see how his wife and children react when they pick up the phone and you ask for him. If you're clever, you will know already your answer. How? When they hear that you're looking for the father or the husband, by the way they talk, you already know if they can stand him or not. Yes. Because the wife and the children, they know who the father is. On the show, on the stage, nobody knows who you are. They know what you say. And the nice show you put. But when you live inside with someone 20, 30, 40 years, they know exactly who you are. They know how you speak, they know how you curse, they know what time you wake up in the morning, they know how you lie to people on the phone. You sit next to your woman and you lie to people on the phone and she hears all your lies. No wonder she doesn't respect you. And today there is drama in the world, is what I say. Greatest love. I've seen it. If your wife and children respect you, most likely Hashem respects you very much. Most likely. Because these are people that cannot put a shoe next to them. They know who you are. I once had a guy, I gave a shiur in Moskodesh for women in Yankelz. It was only for women, but they told me one father wants to come with his son. Pick you. Around noon, I said, what? His son goes to the non-Jewish girl. He's worried that she's not going to get married. So do you mind? I said, no, tell him to come. When I finished my lecture, he showed up with his son. Son was in his 20s. I spoke to the son about the severity of marrying a goyah for totally non-Jewish woman, not going to be Jewish, this, that. It's a disaster. He said to me, don't worry, Rabbi, you don't have to preach to me about this. Although I love her very much and she loves me very much and she's a wonderful person, I would marry her in a second, but I will never do it. I say, yeah, right. You know how many people spoke like this in the past? He said to me, "No, no, not me." I said to him, "Why not you?" "I will never do it to my father." I said, "Why? It's your life. Why?" "My father is such a good person. He's really tzaddik. I can never do it to him." Meaning, meaning that if the father was a crook A faker, a liar, whatever you want to say, he will just curse again Mary. It's his problem. Let him worry about his own life. And that's, by the way, one of the reasons why most children who go off to derech come back in the end. If their parents are good people or not. If they are good people, they come back eventually. Most of them, not everyone. But if they are fake, they won't come back. They only become more extreme against. One time I had to speak to a Hasidish boy. His father asked me to speak to him. I spoke to the boy and the boy told me, "His father thinks, who does he think he is? He is all bluff. He is all fake." I said to him, hey, don't talk like this. Why are you so angry? He said, my father gives me $500 every month to dress like a Hasid. Why does he not give me $500 a month to keep Shabbos? Because all he cares about what the people will say about him in the community. He doesn't care about me and about my soul. Or about Hashem, only what the other Hasidim thinks about him. Ah, this is fun, shake it, shake it. So I have to put this custom like I'm a Hasid for $500 a month not to embarrass him. Why he doesn't say dress, dress blue shirt, I don't care, wear jeans. Keep Shabbos is much more important than what you wear. Your soul will be cut for eternity, I care for your son. Havar, you lack egoism, you break the Shabbos. You cannot even be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Buried like a goy on the other side of the wall. I pay you for not breaking Shabbos. Ah, you care so much. You want to pay me not to make sins, that means you really are a shamayim. You only want me to put a shor on my riches. You care about yourself, you don't care about him. Smart boy. Baruch Hashem was able to convince him that his father is not Hashem. And he has a problem with Hashem, not with his father. Slowly, slowly, he made teshuvah, Baruch Hashem. But just to give us an idea. So the third category sits in the middle. And very big amount of religious people are not even aware of this urgency. "Eh, I keep all the mitzvot." What do you mean? But he's the same proud person for 20 years. And the fourth category, and we finish right here, the fourth category is Jewish Ashkafa, Torah ideology. And this, almost no religious people have any idea what it is? Nobody. Almost nobody. Besides real Bnei Torah that have great rabbis and are connected to good books, almost no one even knows what Jewish Ashkafa is. You see religious people that their god is the Israeli army. You see religious people that their god is Benjamin Netanyahu. You see religious people that their god is Lionel Messi. You see religious people that their God is Maccabi Tel Aviv. You see religious people that their God is Donald Trump. You see religious people that the money is their God. You see religious people that the university is their God. You don't have a degree? I don't want to go on a date with you, my friend. He doesn't have a degree, but he's a multi-millionaire. What do you worry about the degree? He has plenty of money to buy you anything you want. No, no, I want educated guy. Education? College education? You call it education? It's beshimosh, it's garbage. It's the waste that people dump in the garbage. When you compare this to yeshiva, to gemara, to Torah, to zohar, to halacha, compare Rambam to this stupid professor that teaches you their nonsense, 99% of what you learn over there is heresy. Kfirah. Everything over there is against Hashem. Harvard University is reached to such a level that is the number 36 in the world in countries. Number 36 in the world. Income $26 billion. Harvard University. Tax-free. And the government gives them millions of dollars every month aid. People pay $200,000 a year over there. $26 billion income. 36th world economy. Better than all Africa. Better than almost all South America. Better than half of Europe. Richer than countries. University, 500 years of robbing people. 500 years. All universities, not only them. I'll show you a show that someone made. I pulled my hair off when he showed the statistic and the numbers. What do they teach over there? Came from a monkey, there is no God, people that believe in God are primitive. That's what they teach. Speculative science, the world is billions of years old, almost everything heresy. So you'll be a great doctor, more beautiful, be a wonderful lawyer, you'll be Hussein Obama. Hussein Obama, what did it help him that he went to Harvard? In reality, you know anyone dumber than him? He gave $150 billion to Iran. To occupy the world and destroy the world. He put America in danger. Forget Israel. Israel is the last thing on his mind. His own country he put in danger. All the problems they have now with Iran, that Iran's waiting and Iran is not— Iran is putting a show here. We're going to close this, we're going to do that. Where did they get this money from? The power. Everything was frozen in America. $150 billion he gave it to them, took them out of the grave. Another few months, there would be a revolution over there. The nation couldn't take the sanctions anymore. They took all their money in America and gave it to them. You know a dumber person than this? Someone come to kill you and your children. Come, come, I have a saving. Let me, let me take the saving and give it to you. You can kill me faster. Araber, graduate, lawyer. That's what it is. That's the truth. The universities here are any better? No, no, Rabbi, I go to Bar Ilan, it's religious. Bar Ilan, religious? Religious? Shemirachem. Every university who claim to be religious, I prove to you that almost everything there is against Hashem. Religious university in New York should have a gay club. No one hide it. Gay club. Yeah. People went to universities. One invited a Christian priest and Dr. Ruth to his shul. Another one in Toronto invited a Muslim imam to speak to his community while the Muslims exchanging telephone numbers with the Jewish girls in the ladies section. Someone that was there called me to tell me. Another one Another one went to the gay parade, took pictures with the gays and put it on his Facebook page. "I came to show support to the community," according to the rabbi. Another idiot gave a speech, "Homosexuality and feminism is a wonderful development to humanity." Another idiot, the chief rabbi of England, he marches in the marchim of the Zichron, everything he can to do to help Christianity to destroy Judaism. This is the example he gives. He goes to soccer games and takes pictures of the goyim who kick the ball. That's what's on his mind. Has Veshalom someone, he will become fool. I give you hundreds of them. Hundreds of them. How much heresy they have in their writings. They are much the biggest enemies against Hashem of the history. No one in the world had so much heresy against the Torah than these University rabbis. Of course, not everyone is like this. I know a few people went to university and they're very frum, but they did not become frum from the university. That's for sure. They became frum although they went to university, and that's a miracle. Why would you put your children over there? Rabbi, if he's not going to go there, what kind of job is he going to have? A Bukharian Uber driver makes more money than your son that went to university. Check! Uber driver, listening all day to lectures, learning Torah while he's driving people. Where do you need to go? JFK. $150. Just one hour of learning Torah. And what is your son doing? Dentist. Zzz, I doubt it today. Oh my God, how much I suffered. Now I am a dentist. No wonder the number one committing suicide in the world is dentists. Yes, all they have to dig in people's mouths. If they just had shrimps, pork, come to you like this, you have to smell it. But you are educated. Ah, you went to college, went to school. No, this is Jewish ideology, Jewish corruption, a con plot. And when Mashiach comes, a lot of these fake religious people will get the shock of their life. Trust me when I tell you, wake up. Because it's going to be too late by then. You want to get education? Fine, I'm not telling you what to do. But at least fix up your ideology, your Ashkafa. Enough admiring wicked people. Enough admiring politicians. Enough thinking if the right will be the government, so Mashiach would come. The Arabs would leave us alone. It's baloney. You don't understand, the Arabs is the best thing that happened to us. If they wouldn't be here, probably we would not have Minyan here left. The only reason people are still connected to religion is because of the fear. Fear motivates people to do things. If you live here like Switzerland, making millions and nobody bother you, how many people stay religious? Why did Hashem send the Arabs after us everywhere we go? Not only in Israel. Every Jewish community in the world immediately the Arabs come to live there. Check. Why? You don't see the hand of Hashem. You don't see Hashem send you police to guard you. You don't see. Everywhere you go, the Arabs are like this. What's going on here? Give us one minute, one place to live without your arm. Why they come? You know why the Arab come? For the meat. Hashem brought them in their mind that they need to eat kosher meat. They don't know what kosher meat is. Halal. Hamma bi'Allah halal. The Jews slaughter, we also can eat only slaughtered animal. So what happened? Everywhere they go, they don't have shita. So they go where the Jews live. Look how Hashem arranged it. Because anyway what they eat is tareh, it's not kosher. "Fajoo yichalal me, isso udo vaida, lakirim chaziz." Last sentence for today is speaking about kosher meat. You know, it's written in the Torah meat that came out not kosher. You made shmitah, venomous, not kosher, whatever, tareh, fonevera, whatever it is. Etanazela, you have to throw to the dogs. La kelet hashihunoto. The question that I have is, is this an obligation to give it to the dog? Oh, if you not give it to the dog, if you not put it in the garbage or give it to somebody else to eat. Go over there, hey, Tony, come, I have a steak for you. Why don't you eat it? It's nevela, he won't understand. Eat it, Joey. No problem. Why do I have to give it to them? Careless. Is this an obligation? Like it's written in the Torah, do not charge interest from your brother, meaning you cannot charge interest from Jews. La'goy tashich. From the goy you can take. Is this an obligation to take from the goy? Is that a mitzvah? Or it means since you cannot take from your brother, you're allowed to take from the goy if you want. There's some opinions. Some say if you take your interest from the goat, you make a mitzvah from the Torah. Some say no, it's permission. Same thing over here. You give now the nevelah to the dog, you do what Hashem say to do, or not necessarily? Also different opinions. The question is, why did Hashem say to give the nevelah to the dogs? I understand to the cross, they fed the Yahweh Nabi, they did something positive with the cross. The cross like meat, they see in the dead and the mold, they always come. But why to give it to the dog? The answer, as you all know, Hashem educated. So the answer is because the dogs did not bark when we came out of Mitzrayim. Big deal. Wow, you want a reward for sitting on a chair? Well, I don't get it. Somebody got up and went and broke a glass and stole something from the store. And you were there sitting on a chair and you did not get up to steal. You didn't steal. You sat on a chair, didn't do anything. You didn't stop it, you didn't scream, "Hey, police!" Nothing. Don't do it. He just sat on a chair. The police come. So what happens? Someone was sitting here, broke the glass and stole, I don't know, whatever. And what were you doing? You can check in the camera. I was sitting here all the time. Okay, come, we'll give you $5,000. The police station. You give me $5,000 for what? For not participating in a robbery. Since when you get a reward for not being a criminal? Sitting and doing nothing. From here we learn that Hashem is so great, so great, and so generous that the ability to do a sin and not doing it, it's already a mitzvah. You get a reward for it. Sitting over there and I have something to say against him and I don't, huge reward. I can also take from the rabbi, I don't do it, huge reward. I can sit and watch the game, I didn't turn it on, I go away, huge reward for not making the sin. For not making the sin, huge reward. For being quiet, huge reward. Who got the biggest reward in the history for one minute of silence? Who? Lot. Lot. Lot did two big mitzvot in the Torah. One, the angels came to his house. People thought there are people. The people of Sodom, San Francisco people showed up. They all showed up. I was there a month ago, two months ago in San Francisco. Shemilachem. I'm still in rehabilitation. San Francisco, China, oh Hashem becham. So in San Francisco they came to rape the guests of Lot. They want to rape them. Lot is willing to give his daughter. No, we don't want your daughter, we came for them. Okay, take me, take me, meaning kill me. No, no, we don't want you, we want them.
Okay.
That's one time he was willing to die for strangers. How many people would do such thing? Okay. Next time Lord did something good is when Abraham and Sarah standing in front of Pharaoh and Abraham says, "She's my sister." And Lord followed them to take all the money that Abraham has because he has nobody to inherit him. That's my chance to become a billionaire. My uncle is a billionaire. All I have to say, Avraham, come on, don't lie to the king. How do you do such thing, uncle? She's your wife. Why you say she's your sister? It's not nice to lie to the king. That's it. The King Avraham takes Sarah to Pharaoh, and you and Pharaoh, not only give you everything Avraham has, he will add his own commission for giving him Sarah. And you become a greedy man. And you are the greediest person. How do we know? The Torah says. That Abraham said to him, hey, why, you know, why should we fight? And he chose the green side. Shame on him. I come with my uncle, he feeds me, he gives me everything I have. One day I will take everything he own and he ask me which side you want to go and I take the good side and let my uncle take the desert. Showing how greedy you are. And he was standing over there dying to talk. But he kept his mouth closed, and for that, Chazal say, Hashem gave him a huge reward. Not for getting ready to kill himself and his daughter, no. For the one minute of silence, Hashem decided that the Mashiach will come from him. Mashiach comes from Lot. Utamohavia. Ammon and Moab came from Lot. Gut came from him, and David HaMelech came from Gut, and Mashiach comes from David HaMelech. He got the reward, lots, what? For one minute of silence. From here we see that sometimes to be quiet is harder than anything in the world. You full of fire, scream, and you don't talk. And for sitting and not talking, like the dogs did not bark, You get a huge reward. Why? It's against your nature. You want to say it, you can be quiet. Any questions before we finish? Any? You're pointing to the women. Yes, you're right.
Father to take him to the— priority. I feel like in the Haredi world, it's that every story symbolizes a very big problem that's happening here. I feel like between religious and irreligious, it's easy to separate, but in the religious world here especially, I feel like it's very hard refine Hashem in an eminent way. And my experience here is like the standard institutions that are very big with a very big name that you sort of looked up to, that you wanted, that you thought these were the people that you, that you wanted your children to be with, sometimes let you down more than the institutions that don't have a great name Is there your actual mind so pure that you want to stick with that a bit more?
Unfortunately, Rajiv, you are 100% right. Could the question be repeated? I will repeat. From the answer you get the point. Okay, thanks. Unfortunately, you're right. Some places are really religious and some places are great politicians. We have to beg Hashem that the Rebbes of our children will be real kosher people and the institutions they run will be good kosher people and the neighbors and our mechutanim and who we get our children to marry to, they will be kosher pure people that you mentioned. But reality-wise, some people all they care is what people think about them. There's nothing to change your mind. It's just a show-off. We have to be clever to detect which people are like that, to stay away from them, because this is all fake. What people will say about them, that's all they care about. But what about what Hashem thinks about you? How many people speak and give lectures, and now one time in 10 years they spoke Words of rebuking the people, kusar, shaking up people, telling them about their sins, nothing. Why you don't say it? Why you are politically correct? Why everything is fake? I'm afraid to turn them off, they won't come, they will stop donating. That's all he cares about. They won't like me, they'll fire me. They won't buy my books. It's all about him. What about what Hashem wants? Who cares?
Isn't that why all the children, so many children are very much terrified?
That's the main reason why so many children. Children that are smart, they detect the fake religion. They're smart. I always tell people, when your kid's in yeshiva and they ask a lot of questions, some yeshivas, No, not all. Some yeshivas will target the kid as a troublemaker, infidel. Koifer is asking question of tefillah. Reality, if I was the Rosh Yeshiva of this institution, I will give him a medal. If he asked me, how do I know God exists? Very good question. How do I know Moshe Rabbeinu is real? Very good question. How do I know the Torah is from Hashem? Maybe people made it up. Very good question. He's smart boy. How do I know the oral Torah is from Hashem? Maybe the rabbi made it up. How do I know this is what Hashem really wants? How do I know? Maybe today the world changed. I don't want to be a robot. I don't want to just copy people. I would make the kid the star of the school. Finally one smart kid. Not the robot that follows everything he sees. But the problem is that today people don't want to handle questions. They don't want to handle challenge. A lot of disobeying, they don't want problems. They just want to come, say what they have to say, get the malachot and go on. But the idea is that you find— I say to people, my son asks all these questions, I'm very worried. I said, finally he's smart, he's not stupid. You cannot fool him in life. It's going to be a great advantage. There are answers to all these questions. There's nothing to be afraid of. But at least you should be proud that your son is not stupid. Look at these 1.5 billion Muslims. They tell them the Quran is from Muhammad. It's full of nonsense. Every normal person in 5 minutes should have run away from this book. But they're willing to die for it. Why? Almost nobody is that clever to ask questions. Wait a minute, how God would give a book to a person that did not know how to read and write and is not even Jewish? Everybody else was holy people. Why would he give someone that is total ignorant? Question number 1. Question number 2, why there are so many mistakes in the book? Doesn't make sense. Question number 3: Why it say to hate the Jews when we believe in the Torah and the Torah say to love the Jews? So many questions you ask. Every once in a while you find one normal Muslim that ask this question and keep it. Finally one smart person. We, however, we can ask any question we want and Baruch Hashem, the Torah has very good answers to every question. At least it shows that you smart. They're not stupid. Why do you want me to tell you? Can we fix the world in one day? Obviously not. We have to leave, take the bag with the goods. There's really no solution to it. Any more questions? Yes. Where do we start though? There seems to be a systemic problem with lack of modesty. And a perfect example would be just a stoned person walking down the street. The ladies walking down the street, says, when is it mutar to see their figure? Says, when is it mutar for their legs to look better with their hose? None of that is mutar. But you see this in the Beit Yochav schools, they wear the flesh-colored. There's a huge crisis in modesty today, huge, by religious people, huge. Even those who follow the rabbis who allow wigs, which is already a problematic issue. But even those who follow rabbis that allow her to put wig, they never put the wig that the rabbi meant. Always 10 times longer. Because people lie to themselves. They lie to themselves. It's unbelievable how people fall into their own trap. And all the tight skirts and the short skirts. How religious women wear mini skirt thinking it's modest? Why? Satan is a genius, what do you think? It's not in one day. It's a process of years. Every year the short, the skirt is 1 centimeter shorter. Until Hashem Yerachem, what happened? Same thing, everything else. The way against it is to listen to real speaker that speaks and scream and scare the people what's going to be their end. The problem is that how many speakers like this you know in the world? Can you count them in one or two hands maximum? That's it. In Israel you still have some. In America? Nobody talks. Not only that, the world became such a place that there's always, there were always some speakers who speak strong and some who speak weak. But the people that spoke strong They got a lot of respect and credit. Today is the other way around. When a person speaks strong and say what the Torah exactly say, is not politically correct, a lot of these other fake ones, speakers, do everything they can to put him down, that he should not have followings. That's what they do. Instead of saying, I wish I was like him, brave to say the truth. Some say, some say, Everything he says is true. It's not my nature to speak like this. But some say the opposite. Oh, I shouldn't listen. That's not the way. Hashem loves everyone. It's no problem. It's good she wears a skirt. Who cares how long? At least she covers the hair. Surrendering to the Satan. Okay, this wind is also good. This music is also good. This pachashut is also good. Everything is also good. Until nothing is left. That's what happened to the Reform and Conservative. What do you think, overnight they marry men with men? It's a process of 200 years until they became worse than goyim. But back then, they only changed tzitzit. The Reform 200 years ago were more religious than us. The first generation of Reform people. And today they marry Jews with goyim and eat pork. That's it. Once you begin to break the fence, the sky is the limit. There's no end to it. Where is the limit? You have to stick to real people that teach the truth. You have Rav Sternbuch in Israel, he's very good. He's not politician. You have Rav Mazuz, he's also very good. There's a lot of other good ones. I'm just giving a few names. Stick to the books of Rabbi Victor Miller. Everyone who sticks to the books of Rabbi Victor Miller every day of his life for sure will be tzaddik. I promise you this. And will follow the right Jewish Ashkafa. I don't, I never met anybody, and I met hundreds of big giant hakhamim, that was so straight in Jewish Ashkafa. Never. I never saw. In any topic I read his answers, mamash diamonds. Now one time I saw one thing that is, chas v'shalom, off the truth, or kifirah, or politically correct, or kissing up to the authorities. Never he spoke— that's the joke that he said, that the rabbis of Brooklyn lies loves me very much. Every once in a while I give a speech and half of my people in my congregation run away to other shuls. Why? They can't handle the truth. That's it. I want to thank all of you for coming here tonight. Thank you very much, Rabbi. Thank you, everyone.
