Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi at TORCH Centre in Houston, TX

We're back to be inspired. So without any further ado, Rabbi Yosef Mizrahi. Thank you, Rabbi. I actually started to enjoy your lecture. What do you need me for? You have you here. So for those of you who don't— first of all, good evening. It's my honor to come here tonight. It's not the first time I'm here. Last time I was here, we had a lecture that reached close to a million views on YouTube, just on my channel alone. Quarter million views, plus all the other ones. So obviously the Satan doesn't want another thing like that, so he sends his messengers to sabotage the lecture. It's nothing new, it's always been like that. The world is divided to two kind of people: messenger of Hashem and messengers of the Satan. And it's no coincidence on which side you're going to be. And the path that you choose to walk, that's where Hashem will take you. Either he will take you to the positive side because you chose it, and if you chose to go against his Torah and against the truth, he will put you in the hand of Satan, and you'll be a great soldier of Satan who With only one comment is that in the end you have to pay for what you did. That's the only difference. I'm coming from Las Vegas. We had a Shabbaton there, an unbelievable Shabbat, a community of Las Vegas. It's very interesting, there are two— there's one major thing in common between the rabbi of Las Vegas to Rabbi Wolbe. They both come from a very important holy descendants of all of it. His father is a very big Talmid Chacham, which was also connected to the legendary Rabbi Wolbe, the grandfather of Rav Aryeh, which without him I don't know how much we would know about Musar and about Ashkafa, one of the most important rabbis in the world in the last 100 years. It's not just another rabbi. His legendary book, Alei Shul, is in every home, and a lot of the lectures that you ever heard comes from him. And he was the great mashgiach, and he has many, many different rabbis who came to the world thanks to him. And I'm sure he's proud to have such a wonderful grandson— grandsons, I should say, because there's more than one Rabbi Wolbe here. They do a wonderful job. And every time I come here, it gets better and better. May it always continue to grow. So the wonderful Shabbaton we had in Las Vegas, I basically spoke non-stop. As you can see, I'm a little tired. I went to sleep at 4 AM and I woke up at 6. That was just about it in 3 days, from Thursday until now. And I spoke non-stop, one lecture after the other. I was packed, all the lectures. And even last night, after my main lecture, I went to house of a lot of young boys and girls in their 20s who work there in cosmetic in Las Vegas. And you have to see, I sat with them for 3 hours to make sure that by the time I leave, all of them will become Shomer Shabbos. And Baruch Hashem, mission achieved. When we speak the truth, it inspires many, many people. The Satan, the Satan is going crazy. Every lecture he lose another 10, 20, 30 Jews. Come on, what's going on here? That's why every time I go to speak, not only here, every place I go, the same messenger of Satan go out of their way with such devotion. If the head of the Hamas would come, they won't make a peep. If Dr. Wood come, they will hang flyers for her. If the Imam comes, They go out of their mind to come hear what he has to say about the foolish religion. And when a Christian Nazi missionary would come, you would have to see they paying $35,000 for an hour to come speak and brainwash the Jews over there about their foolishness. But when somebody that comes and read verses from the Torah comes, they are so allergic. And what happened to them? The brainwash that they went through in the universities messed up their head so much that every time they hear something from the Torah, it drives them crazy. You primitive, you're not in the 21st century, you're not up to date, the world has changed. All these terms and all these comments come from one Huge ignorance. Meaning, if you know the 13 principles of Judaism, those are the 13 poles that the building is standing on. You take one out, everything collapses. Every time a non-Jew comes to convert, first thing he has to learn by heart is the 13 principles of Judaism. If that's something he denied, one of them, he would say, I believe in 12 out of the 13, and how to convert him? You don't accept the 13 principles, you can't join the club. This club has certain conditions to become a member. You do not want to check one of them on the application, you are not welcome. The only way you can join the nation of God, the chosen people, is first to accept the 13 principles. The problem that we have, that we have so many religious Jews that don't accept almost any of them. Of the 13 principles. So what do you want from the Gentiles? If we have modern rabbis from the university who deny the principle of Judaism in every one of their speeches, what do you expect from Tony and Vinnie and Ahmed that come to join our nation? What do you expect? You can come to them with any demands, they will come and say to you, I'm sorry, I heard this professor, this rabbi from the university, the way he speaks, he said there's no punishment, God loves everyone, everyone is equal. They contradict the entire Torah in those speeches. That's why they go crazy when finally comes somebody comes and say the truth in their face. They go out of their mind because it contradicts the brainwash they went through in the last 5 years in their university. And that's what we have today in Hanukkah, first night on Hanukkah. That's exactly what we are celebrating today. Hanukkah is to remember that the biggest empire in the world, the Greeks, who actually occupied Israel and controlled us for 150 years and brainwashed us with the wicked ideology and all the materialism and the fake beliefs in fake gods, they came and raped us and forced us to become like them or we will die. And the majority of our nation joined them and actually got all kinds of privileges. They gave them citizenship, green card, food stamps, Section 8. Join us, join us, and not only we're not going to kill you, You actually will be a superb Greek. But there were a minority of righteous Jews who were willing to give their life for the truth, and they were condemned by the majority of the Jewish nation. Come on, you primitive, you naive, why do you have to be so religious? Be modern, join the Greek culture, join the aristocrats. Join all Socrates, join all these people. And those who did not want to join, in the end, by an unbelievable miracle, they won the war. It wasn't a physical war. There was no chance to win against such an empire where hundreds of people can win the biggest empire in the world. It was an ideology. The war was about ideology here. And from the religious Jews won, the Greek Empire was wiped out from the face of the earth, and close to 2,500 years later we are celebrating the amazing victory of the Torah and the yeshiva and the religion over the infidels and the wicked people. There's one thing I don't understand. With all due respect and my love to my brothers and sisters, the Jews all over the world, including the secular ones, I don't understand one thing. I always try to make my life to be a follower of the truth regardless of convenience, meaning I like it, I don't like it, that's the truth, take it. That's it. There's no other way. If you become a politician, you make your decision based on things that, like convenience, money, fame, glory, success, what people would say, people would like me, people would hate me. The decisions will never follow the truth because first, what's in it for me? Once you get to this, what's in it for me, basically you will never follow the truth. But what I don't understand is, if you maybe help me, with this question that I have is, why is it that secular Jews, that some of them say I'm an atheist, some of them say I'm not religious, some of them say I'm Reform, some of them say I'm Conservative, some of them say I'm secular, you know, it's everyone define themselves in a different group. Why would they celebrate Hanukkah? I never saw in history such a contradiction. It's absurd. So how was Lachas? Lachas, you can have all the haram, no problem. But I don't understand what's going on here. Chanukah was made by Chazal, by the sages, to remind everyone that the Torah and the strict observant, what we call Orthodox Jews, won against all odds. And the infidels and the wicked people that wanted to destroy the Torah and wanted to make us all non-Jews with their ideology, with stadiums, world sport that occupied every street in the world and every screen came from Sparta. The Greeks invented this concept to humiliate each other, to fight, to create challenges, because their life is so empty and there's nothing to deal with when it comes to the truth. They don't even believe in a soul and in the afterlife and all these things that we follow. So what do they have in their life besides money and beauty and to create some interest? Life is so boring, so let's do sports. Sparta, stadiums, fighting, boxing, wrestling. Today it's basketball, football, hockey, soccer, tennis. That's become the main religion in the world today. Everywhere you go, people kill for it, people cry over it, people commit suicide over it. You cannot believe what's happening here today. Every second of the world, it dominates everyone. Even religious people with beard all the way to the floor. You can't believe what's going on today. So I wonder to myself, what would happen If Hashem would give permission to Chazal, the sages, to wake up and to come right now to Israel for one hour to walk in the streets of Tel Aviv, to see the gay parades, how naked people kiss each other in front of children, to see the Hebrew University, how they all say that we come from the monkeys and the world is billions of years old and it was made by a random explosion, and it is God forbid to mention the word God. If the sages would see what the Jewish nation became, they see the stadiums, how people scream for somebody kick a piece of stupid leather into the net, and how people curse each other and hit each other and throw things at each other, and how they jump on the fence like monkeys screaming because there was a goal. If Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and Rabbi Akiva and all the holy sages would see that, they will get not the shock of their life. I think they will get a heart attack immediately. They won't make it for 1 hour. If they come out and see after 2 minutes, they'll all be on the floor dead from the heartbroken situation that they would see here. I know without a doubt that if they open up their eyes and see the streets of Israel or some of the Jewish communities in the world, how they behave, they would say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hashem, I asked to come to Israel, not to Greek. This is Greek here, that's not Israel. Take me to Israel. No, no, that's Israel. That's Israel. So the Chachamim would say, I'm sorry, I have to cancel Chanukah. Cancel it. It's an absurd, it's a joke. Who are we fooling? The Greeks won, not us. They are for 2,500 years in Gehenna, but they are so happy. The poison that we injected into these Jewish people continue to destroy them for 2,500 years every second all over the world. And that's the truth. Because if a person's real God is some soccer player that kicked the ball into the net and how he cries— I said to one of the religious people, tell me, I want to ask you a question. I just saw how you got excited that this Argentinian player made a beautiful kick. I saw you literally in tears. Did you feel like this in the night that your daughter got married to this bachuresh, Ivan, the rechupa? I don't remember seeing you like this. When your daughter finally got married after 30 years of waiting to a Talmid Chacham, instead of running on the street like crazy, "Yes, Hashem, thank you for the miracle," standing like a rock, like an ice. When this guy kicked the ball, "Wow, running, jumping, yes." What's in it for you? And this is religious people. Secular people, they can't really come with any complaints because the way they were raised, what do they know? They didn't go to yeshiva, they didn't learn Torah, they didn't learn Mussar, they didn't read Mesilat Yesharim, Path of the Just, they didn't read The Way of the Righteous, they did not. So they don't know anything, they know they never learned ethics, Jewish ethics, they didn't learn Pirkei Avot, They never learned Gemara. They never read the Chumash, the Torah, once in their life. I always like to say, I hate to say it, but I have to say it, that from all the 25 years that I spoke, probably more than 6,000 events by now or more, and I've seen so many people, I get so many emails, like 500 emails a day, and hundreds of WhatsApp messages, and texts, and letters, and what? I cannot believe how many people write and send. And the people that complain about the Torah, for 25 years I ask any one of the secular people that read the Torah once in his life from the beginning to the end and knows to explain the meaning of the words in simple English or simple Hebrew. Forget Rashi, forget Gemara, forget Kabbalah, forget all the secrets and gematria and codes and hidden things in the text. Forget all that. Forget the midrashim, those rivers of knowledge, rivers, unlimited amount. I'm not even talking about this. I'm talking pre-1A, 5-year-old children in yeshiva. That's what they learn in yeshiva. By age 7, they already know the Chumash. So you are a doctor, you are a professor, you are a judge in a court, you are a movie star, you are a businessman, you are a billionaire. Come, all of you, before you bark and scream and criticize the Torah, just one question I have to ask you. Did you ever read the Torah once in your life to understand the literal meaning? The simple meaning of the words. Can you tell me that you know the meaning of the words of the Torah? Please raise your hand. 25 years, hundreds of thousands of people, not one person raised his hand. And not one person will ever raise his hand because there's not one secular Jew in the world that knows the meaning of the words of the Torah. Not even half of it, not even 10% of it, and sometimes not even 1% of it. But they criticize it nonstop from morning to night all their life. Then I like to say this example, this parable: if I would go now to the university to all these experts and will give them a speech for 2 hours full of hate and disgrace against Shakespeare, I prepared a horrible speech against him. Shakespeare is this, and he's stupid, and he's that. They're all like boiling. I touched their gods. And then one of them would raise his hand when he couldn't take the pain anymore and ask me, excuse me, sir, you've been speaking against Shakespeare for so long. Can you tell us please which books of Shakespeare you read that you hate him so much and you criticize him so much? And then I would answer, I'm very sorry, I never touched Shakespeare book, I never opened even one of them. That would be the biggest joke in the history of the world. They would all fall on the floor laughing. You have to go to a mental institution right away. Hospitalize this fool quickly. He's a danger to society. If he's so stupid to come here and speak against Shakespeare for 2 hours, and he never read one line in his books? This person deserves to walk on the street? And almost half of the people in Israel are like that. You have to see the comments they write against the religion, against the rabbis, and against the Torah. You cannot believe. You don't know if to laugh or to cry. I have no idea what it is, nothing. No, they don't know one pasuk to explain. If you think I'm talking about the low-class Israeli, you know, people who anyway don't go to school, you are totally wrong. I'm talking about the professors, the doctors, the prime minister, the minister of defense, the judges in the Supreme Court. That's what I'm talking about. A few times in my lectures when I had arguments with the what they call academic Israeli from the university in the lectures about the Torah. I said to— a few times it happened— I said to them, I can prove to you now that even though you are a doctor, you don't know how to read Hebrew. So before you criticize the Torah, think again. Because if I get you here on a stage and I will bring the Rambam and let you read one page in the Rambam anywhere you want, you open I will prove to you you don't know how to read. You don't know how to read. You are a total amaharetz, a total ignorant that the Gemara speaks about you. Who cares that you're a big doctor or a judge? You don't know how to read Hebrew. How do you dare to open your mouth against the book of God when you don't even know how to read? So one of them said, what? I don't know how to read? I have a degree in grammar. I said, come, come over. Until today, I don't think he sleeps at night, this guy. Every word he made a mistake. It's not a joke what I'm telling you. They don't know how to read. That's their knowledge in Judaism. 5-year-old children in yeshiva knows better. Take the little kid, little kid can reach your knee. That's his size. Come, come, hurry, read, explain. He knows better than that. And then they decide what Judaism will say. In Israel, they have an argument that already takes place more than 7 years. Who is a Jew? They still couldn't figure it out. Do you know how this argument started? Listen to this. First Prime Minister of Israel was Ben-Gurion. Baruch Hashem, you know his story. Ben-Gurion had a son who went to New York and met a non-Jewish woman and married her, and they had a daughter. Met her, I think, in the Waldorf Astoria, in one of these fancy hotels. She was working there, he was working there. They got married, they came to Israel with their baby. When they came to the Israeli Isra Dafni, they say back then they used to write in your ID if you're Jewish or not. Leon, Jewish. Arab, Christian. They used to write. Now they took it off, of course. I mean, back then they still used to write. So they were afraid from Ben-Gurion to write that his granddaughter is not Jewish. Because if your wife is not Jewish, your children are not Jewish. They're not considered Jewish according to the Torah. They're not considered your children. So they didn't know what to do. If we write Jewish, it's a lie. If we write non-Jewish, Ben-Gurion will kill us. So what should we do? So they wrote religion not known. One day, somehow, the Satan arranged that the idea of this little girl will fall to the hand of Ben-Gurion. And when he saw that the religion is not known, unknown, quickly called his son. What's this? What is this? What does it mean unknown? He said, well, you know, my wife is not Jewish. They didn't want to write that she's not Jewish, so they wrote unknown. What? Next day came to the Knesset. You're gonna decide who is a Jew and who's not? And he started a case that until today was never resolved. He wants to be the new god. The new god. So we know the word Jew, Jewish, from where? Who invented this word? Comes from the Torah, based on Yehuda, right? Yehuda, Yehudi. We just read about him last Shabbat. So we are called Yehudah, Yehudim, because there was Yehudah, Judah in English. And Yehudah had something great about him. He was sentencing his daughter-in-law to death because she supposedly went with someone, became pregnant. It's against the rules of the Torah, and he's the judge, so he sentenced her to death. But he didn't know he is the one who made her pregnant. And she was very classy. She didn't want to say to him, shame on you, you cooperated with me and now you're sentencing me to death. So she told him, hey, do you recognize this cane and this ring? And he realized it was him. Now he could play fool, say, ah, take her quickly, quickly, don't let her talk. Stick him to execution and clean his reputation. No one would know, and that's it. Many people in today's politics would do that. They do worse things than that. But Judah realized, and in front of everyone he admitted, no, she's righteous, that's my fault, leave her alone. Everybody found out. It was a big embarrassment. The truth is above what's in it for me. And Hashem said, because you did such a thing, all the children of Israel will be named after you, Yehudi. That's how it started. And that's why we say every morning when we pray, a person should be fearful from God in hidden rooms. Just like in public. Will always admit what's right, what's the truth. Means forever. Forever a person will always behave in public, just in hidden rooms, just like you behave on the street. You're embarrassed to do it on the street. When you're in front of God alone in a room, don't do the same thing. So don't be a hypocrite and admit what's right and what's the truth, even if it's against your will, even if it's gonna ruin your reputation, even if it will cost you money, even if people would leave you, even if people will put you on a ban, even if the girl won't want to marry you because she doesn't like your opinion. But that's the truth of God. I'm not afraid of you, I'm gonna say it no matter what. And always speak the truth in his heart, meaning in his mind. What do you mean? I don't get it. Isn't it enough that the final, final word is what comes out of my mouth? Who cares what I have in my heart? If I would always say the right thing to my student, Why should I care what's in my heart as long as I always say what's right according to God's book? Who cares what's my opinion? Maybe my opinion is against the book, but when it came to reality, I taught the truth. That's not enough. The truth is much deeper. You have to follow the truth to such a level that even in your heart, in your mind, you will never think the opposite of the truth. Your ideology will be crystal clear. To be a righteous Jew, you need to have 4 things. If you don't have one of the 4, you will never be a righteous Jew. Never. What are the 4 categories that a person must have before he leaves this world in order for him to be called a righteous person. The first thing, you have to keep all the positive commandments in the Torah. You have to put fingernails, that's a positive commandment. Put mezuzah on the door, positive commandment. You need to— you want to eat meat, you have to do slaughtering in a kosher way, positive commandment. You have a baby, you have to do brit milah, positive commandment. You wear a garment with 4 corners, you have to put tzitzit, positive commandment. You ate bread, you have to do berkat hamazon, positive commandment. Many of them, 248 altogether. Many of them do not apply today because we don't have the temple. So all the sacrifices, holiday sacrifices, korban chatat, all the sacrifices are not in effect. Until soon Mashiach will come, they will go back to being effective. So a large portion of the 248 positive commandments are right now on hold for 2,000 years. So there's not that much left to do. And the second category, you need to be very careful never to violate the restrictions of the Torah. 365 restrictions. Why the Torah is built in such a way, 248 positive commandments, 365 negative? Because that's the way the human being is built. All together in a man's body, you have 613 parts. That's like a picture, a puzzle with 613 pieces. Now, for every organ in a human's body, which is 248 altogether, you have a positive commandment. Each positive commandment is named, connected, linked to that organ. And then you have 365 ligaments in the body. For every ligament in the body, there is a restriction in the Torah that linked and connect to that ligament. All together, 630. The Kabbalah books explain that when the soul of a person exits the body in the time of death— person, the body fell on the floor and the soul started to fly in the air— the soul is a divine, 100% spiritual energy. And if you try to touch the soul, you won't feel any material because there's no material. That's why your hand can go right, left. You can cut his head, you can cut his stomach. You don't even see him. You can't see him with the eyes because you can only see material. But he can see you. He can hear you. So the dead person who just came out of his body, he can see his family screaming, can see the ambulance, can see the police, can see his funeral. That's why we say eulogies. Who are you talking to? The wall? Why do you need to do eulogies now? He's in the ground already. The answer is, forget about the body. The body doesn't worth a dollar in a lab. Minerals, salt, iron. How much is the body? $2? Slice of pizza costs more than your whole body. As beautiful as you are. But everybody understand that the human being is the soul. Nobody sued for $2 if somebody that he knows died in an accident, right? You sue for the spiritual value of the person. So when a person comes out of the body, he actually sees everything and he hears the eulogy. And this is what it's written in the Gemara. One of the Amoraim said to his Rebuter, they learned together, when I die, Rav Shmuel Bar Shilat, his name was, when I die, Make sure to bring all the yeshiva here and make me a great eulogy, because when I'll be on top of you, I will hear everything. Today it's been proven scientifically, body, soul, the existence of the soul, out-of-body experience. It was proven scientifically. You can hypnotize people and can travel in time. It's called regression, and you can find out who they used to be in the previous life. They speak in different languages. When you show them the video, they don't understand what they say. How do I speak French? I don't know one word in French. What's this? Oh, you describe your past life in Paris 80 years ago, 90 years ago. It's been done. You have videos of it. As a matter of fact, there's one Arab kid now in Israel, Druze, Druzi, from the north, 3, 4 years old. Was born into an Arabic place. Now one person over there speak a word in English. Israelis, most of them speaks English, some broken, some good one. But this Druze, for whatever reason, I don't know if they don't learn English, what's the story over there, they don't know one word in English. And a baby is born and speak fluent British English and described himself as a man from 1910 in London. And they came to examine him. They brought albums with pictures. They showed him a small key like the one we have today. Didn't know what it is. They showed him those huge keys. Remember those big keys from 100 years ago? Right away he said, "Key!" Show him a donkey. "Donkey!" Camel! Elephant! They showed him an iPhone. Didn't know what it is. We showed him the CD, didn't know what it is. Cassette, remember the cassette? Well, the American kids don't know what cassette is anyway. I gave it to American kids now, they thought it's binoculars. They thought like, what's this? You have to see this video. So he didn't know anything modern, he didn't know, but he speaks fluent British, okay. Never heard a word of English in his life, in his village. His family don't understand what he's saying. No, that something like this leaves any doubt about reincarnation? When I speak about reincarnation, these university rabbis who call Rabbi Wolbe, they go crazy. Why? Because they are ignorant. They never open one Kabbalah book in their life. They open the Ari HaKadosh, they saw there's a whole chapter of reincarnation. And he explained for what sins you come back in which Gilgul. When I spoke about autistic kids, they were very not fair to me. I never said anything bad about autistic kids. I actually praised them nonstop. I said that this is reincarnations of the most righteous people who actually only had one more thing to fix. I wish we were in that situation. We have much more to fix. All they had to fix is sins that they made with their mouth and ear. That's it. Because usually they come with problems. They have no ability to speak, read, or to understand, or to hear. Their brain is disconnected from this world. So that's all measure for measure. All the punishments that Hashem gives people in the world, Jews and non-Jews, always will be measure for measure. There's no Russian roulette in heaven. Let's see what punishment I will give this wicked guy. Oh, you got it easy, no harm. Next one, oh my God, he would born with no legs. Bad luck, the bad number came out. You really think that that's how Hashem does things randomly? Everything he does is based on what we did. It's a mirror. You did good, you get good. You did bad, you get bad. It's written in the Torah 20 times at least that I can remember, probably more. Whatever you do, that's what you're going to get. You like it, beautiful. You don't like it, it's your problem, not mine. You're still going to deal with the consequences. Who cares if you like it or not? It's not that Hashem says, well, dear Jew, I would like to see what's your opinion about the way I punish people. I don't like it. Too bad, you have a problem. What do you think, you're going to change the Torah now? The Torah says be righteous, you don't have to get any problems. That's it. Now, if a baby is born blind, or if somebody is born with no legs, or anything like that, There are two possibilities here. One, to say there is no God and no justice, that's nature, defect in nature. Made in China. Every 100 USBs, one doesn't work, three doesn't work. Happens. That's a matter. So, nature has defects. And for every million kids, thousands of them come with problems. One doesn't see, one doesn't hear, one doesn't have legs, one doesn't have kidney. That's one way to look at it, and that's called heresy. And if you think like this, you have no share to the world to come. That's what the Torah says. Because you discredit the boss of the world, you rebel against him, and you have rotten ideology. That's it. You want to fix your ideology? Collect my USB, plug it into your car, listen to a few hundred series and lectures. It will adjust your ideology to the right way of the Torah. If you don't like me, no problem. Take the books of Rabbi Avigdor Miller, Zatzal. It's a legend. Or Rabbi Wolbe. And you read it and you learn what Hashem wants from you and what's right and what's wrong. And if you see that there are certain opinions that you learn in college or in high school or by your parents or by your infidel friends that do not match what you read in these holy books, now your mission is to reprogram your head. I love gays, I have no problem with them, but God hates it. He doesn't like abomination. That's what the Torah says. What can I do? Maybe I have a son like this, maybe my brother is like this. Well, I'm not gonna love my brother? Nobody told you not to love your brother. Nobody told you to hate him. Nobody told you to hit him. Nobody told you to insult him. No. But to justify the way of his life, you're not allowed, because it's rebelling against the Creator of the world. And we're not judging anyone. I always tell people, there's no difference between a gay and a mechalel Shabbat. They both have the same punishment in the Torah. Yet some of us don't like to deal with gays, but we have no problem dealing with mechalel Shabbat. That's hypocrisy. What? I don't get it. This one is the same punishment like this one. So if Hashem hates both of them, He gives such a big punishment. You have to readjust the way you think to the way God thinks. Because one of the conditions to be righteous, which I'll get to it in a minute, is everything Hashem hates, I must hate. And everything He loves, I must love. It cannot be that God loves something and I will say I hate it. It cannot be that He says I hate it and I will say I don't care about you, I love it, and to expect that I'll still be righteous. No such thing. It's one of the tests in life. Make your will as His will. Make your ways as His way. He's merciful, you be merciful. He's kind, you be kind. He's always honest, you always be honest. He's not a politician, he's not a faker, he's not a double-faced. That's how you have to be. He's modest, you have to be modest. Everything he hates, you have to train yourself, I can't look at it. If he hates idol worshiping, you can't look at it. When you come to a place, there is an idol worshiping over there, what you have to say? The Torah says, "Baruch ocher avodah zahram et olamo." Bless you, God, that you cut from the root the idol worshiping from his world. I remember a few years ago there was an earthquake in Nepal. 5 years ago, something like that, 4 years ago. And there was a picture in Facebook that all the idols, huge idols that they worship over there in Nepal, the Gentiles there— by the way, it's against the 7th law of Noah. A Gentile is not allowed to be an idol worshiper. It's a very big sin for him and it's a death penalty. So when you see a Gentile bow down to a statue of Jay-Z, Or when you see a Gentile bow down to all kinds of Buddha and all kinds of other statues, he actually commits a crime against God as a Gentile. Jews, just as bad. They're also not allowed to worship idols. So I wrote in my Facebook page, I show a picture of all these huge idols, how they smashed to pieces, and I wrote, the idols are now destroyed. I didn't say they deserve it. I didn't say they deserve to die. None of these things. No insult, no nothing. Just one title on a picture. The idols are now destroyed. That's a commandment in the Torah to rejoice when the idols are destroyed. So I fulfill my obligation. Do you know how many people criticize me? All modern Orthodox people. I don't know what the word Orthodox has to do with them, but I don't see any Orthodoxy over there. But all of them criticized me, shame on you, what do you have against the idols? I said to myself, are you Jewish? You're in the right religion, maybe you Greek Orthodox, I don't know. To the point that some people in Muncie, in Muncie, the holy strict city of America, Muncie, Saw my wife on the street. Tell your husband he should be ashamed of himself. Why is he making fun of the idols? Because the Gemara says that there's one permission to make fun and an obligation to make fun is on idol worshippers. Obligation. If you make fun of your friend, it's a huge sin. You can lose your share to the world to come if you insult a person in public or make fun of him. If you make a name to your friend that he's embarrassed from, you're going to get a huge punishment for that. Just to make him a name, call him by some kind of a name that he doesn't like. You made him a nickname. He said, don't call me that name. You like to give it to him. You keep doing it. Even this, it's a big sin. But when you see an idol worshipper, the Gemara said, mitzvah to make fun of them. Who said it? The Creator of the world. I want you to make fun of them. Ah, but it's not my personality. I'm a nice guy. I don't like to make fun of anyone. That's what Torah is all about— discipline. Forget who you are, forget what you used to, do what I tell you. That's what the test of life is. Don't do what you feel is right. Don't do what you feel it's the right thing to do. Do what the Torah says, right? I don't care what your professor in the university taught you, and I don't care what books you read. I only care what I told you it's right and what I told you it's not right. And you must follow my Torah if you want to make it. But the problem that we have today, that people think they're smarter than the Creator of the world. That's why everyone makes his own religion based on what's convenient and what he feels is right. Every one of us has a salad in his head. Israeli salad, Greek salad, but it's a salad. This salad was made in a period of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years. I see all ages here. This salad is a combination of all the nonsense that was pushed into our head from the minute we came to this world until this minute. One guy came to me and said, "My father told me not to come anymore to your lectures." So I asked him why. He said, "Because my father saw I became so religious, so he got angry and he said that if I come to you, you brainwash me." What should I answer my father? So I told him, go back to your father and tell him that he's absolutely right. I brainwash you because he put so much garbage in your head and it's gonna take me a year or two to clean all the heresy and all the things that he put in your head. It will take time to break, to wash your brain. The brain is full of filth. What did you learn in a public school that you went to? What did you learn in the movies you watched in Hollywood? Every other word comes from your mouth is a curse. Look at your smartphone, what filth are inside. And your father worry about what I teach you, what God say not to do, not to do. That's what he's worried about. One brain surgeon in Israel, Professor Miller, 20 years ago had an article in the newspaper. They asked him, why are you so upset that your son became religious? He's a lefty liberal, hate Torah, and you know, he's operating on people's brains, no joke. It's very hard to be such a doctor, especially back then. Today they have robots and all kinds of equipment. Back then it was a mamash handmade. Hashem Yerachem. So he got so upset that his son became religious and went to learn in yeshiva, So the reporter, which is also a lefty, also hate Torah, it's not that he's some kind of a religious guy, but even the reporter saw that this guy overreacting with the way he speaks in interview. So he said to him, it looks to me that you are more upset that your son became religious than if he would become a drug addict. Guess what the answer? Absolutely, I would rather be a heroin addict than a religious guy. This is a brain professor, brain surgeon in Israel, in a hospital. This is what's happening now. So there's a massive work to clean his head. 50 years of heresy in it. The culture of the Greeks is in every inch of his body, and it's not gonna be easy to clean it, and sometimes it's already too late. Not everyone can be fixed. Some people, they are so deep in impurity lifestyle that it's impossible to do anything about it. So remember, 4 categories to be righteous. First one, you must keep all the positive commandments. Second one, you cannot violate any restriction. When the soul comes out of the body, the Kabbalah say that before the person is entering the court of heaven for his trial, which will take a year— that's why we say Kaddish for one year when someone died, because the trial is a year, and we try to help him out by praising Hashem nonstop. His children to ease the judgment. So when the soul comes out of the body, the Ari HaKadosh, the biggest Kabbalist in last 2,000 years, he said that by looking at the image of the soul, which looks exactly like the image of the body without material, you can see already which commandments he kept and which commandments he did not keep and which restriction he violated. You have 600 pieces, some of them are empty. Empty, it's like a puzzle with missing pieces. You can see the picture. One piece here, one piece there, two pieces there. What is it? Put all the pieces, you see the picture. So before the trial even, some of the organs are dead. Spiritually, and some of the ligaments area are dead. That's the 613 commandments. What's the third category? The third category is we must fix our traits. You came to the world with negative traits. Everybody has at least one bad trait. Even the nicest people, if they did not have any problem with their personality and traits, they had no reason to come to the world in first place. The purpose of life, as the Vilna Gaon wrote, Tikuna Nidot Zecholah Adam, fixing the traits, that's the main purpose of the life of the human being. So let's think, some people are born proud, arrogant, angry, stingy, jealous, lazy. Such a list. It's a lot of work to fix all of that in 78 years. The only way to get rid of your pride is with lots of learning of Mussar and ethics, path of the just, way of the righteous, and again and again and again, and to learn how much Hashem despite proud people. Clear verses, I didn't make it up. Everyone who has a proud heart, I cannot stand him. I cannot be in the same room with him. Clear verses, rabotai. It's not interpretation. Clear verses in the Tanakh. Every person who feels higher than others, look at people down, I'm here and you are here. Even if it's true, by the way, even if it's true, it's still despicable in the eyes of God. That's what's written. What's written, you can't argue. So if I see that that's what Hashem thinks about me, if I'm proud, how can I continue to be proud? I'm destroying myself. I have to work on it. What's the next thing? Stingy. Can't even give a quarter in a pushka box, in a tzatzaka box. They come in the shul in the morning, always pretend he's busy with davening. When a great rabbi comes in to collect from his yeshiva, that's already going to be a speech now, he runs to the bathroom. So how do you practice on your stinginess? You force yourself to start giving something, even small, that it's a little bit painful, but you can handle the pain. A nickel. A pinch in the heart. It hurts. After a week, every day a little pinch, the pinch goes away. Next week, a dime. The pinch started again. A dime, a dime. Oh my God, a dime. Next week, a quarter. I can't believe it, I'm giving a quarter every day. Next week, 50 cents. Next week, a dollar. Next week, $2. It's a practice, like walking in the gym. First week, 1 pound. Second week, 2 pounds. Imagine after a year, 1 pound. After a year, what do you know, man? A year, it's still at £1. It's not a challenge. They went to £2, £4, $6, $10, $20 a day. Oh, Baruch Hashem. Until you become extremely generous. That's it. You kill the evil inclination when it comes to generosity and stinginess. What else do you have? Jealousy. You can't stand that other people succeed and you don't have it. It kills you. Somebody just bought a nice car. Ah, my heart is burning. Turn the AC on. Wow, I'm dying. What happened, Moshe? The neighbor just bought a nice car. Oh my God, I'm so upset. What happened? Should I call the doctor? What is the doctor going to help me? Also have a nice car. Why does a person care that somebody else made a great deal or bought a house or bought a nice car or a nice suit or watch or got a nice wife? Finally he's getting married and you're still single. What's the source of the problem? What's the source of the problem? What do you care if somebody has a wife, doesn't have a wife, has a car, doesn't? How does Life? The answer is jealousy comes from— jealousy is the symptom. What's the root of the problem? You know the difference between the root of the problem and the symptom? You have a root canal, your face became swollen and hurts, that's the symptom. If you treat the symptoms, you take Advil and antibiotic, the swelling comes down and the pain goes away. But the root of the problem is still there. Next week it will rise again and again, it's gonna be swollen. If you don't take care of the root of the problem, 20 years it will stay. It's not going anywhere, the root cannot. What's the root of the problem when it comes to jealousy? The answer: no faith in the Creator of the world. You have no faith, no emunah. If you had Emunah, rule number 1 when it comes to Emunah, that God never make mistakes, ever. Not once in history, He never made a mistake. And every person in the world has a different design test specially for him. That's why you don't find 2 people in the world that their face is exactly the same. Why? And because every person's image, it's connected to the test that he has in life. For instance, if you are a very pretty woman, everywhere you go, right away all the men look at you, "Wow, this, that." You get attention in every job you get right away, even if your brain is empty. You get the job, no problem. Life is easy when you're pretty. But it attracts a lot of jealousy. People begin to say bad things about you, "But she's stupid," "But she's this," "But she's that." Okay, you know how it is. And then a friend is not so pretty, nothing, average, below average. Why God made one woman very pretty and the other one below average? Is it something with a random Russian roulette? Or he designed exactly how she would look before she came to the world? What do you think? Oh, so now does God do something randomly? We don't do it. If you, if you're an artist and you want to paint today, you want to, you want to make a painting of New York City, so you're in the mood of painting buildings. Tomorrow, Upstate New York, trees, lakes, whole different picture. There is something first that you want, and then you go into the actual If God designed our baby, the Gemara says, that when a husband is with his wife and one seed from his sperm will go into one of her eggs, you know how it goes. A woman every month ovulates. She has a body in one day, sometimes two days, create eggs. One day, maximum two days a month, create many eggs. And then if her husband would be with her in that particular day, she can become pregnant. All other nights, she can't become pregnant. When the body creates eggs, one of the sperms from millions of them will enter the egg. That tiny microscopic sperm, you can't even see it without a microscope. This will become a human being with brain, with living beings, with nerve system, with eyes, with unbelievable— from this microscopic dot. And we're going to that egg and we're growing to the womb, and after 9 months a baby comes to the world. What happened if God did not decide yet that you will have children? So all the sperms go all over and the eggs, and none of the eggs of the sperms will go in. Why? Because God said so. It's not the time yet for children. What happens if God wants you to have twins? Depends. If he wants you to have unidentical twins, so one sperm will go into one egg and another sperm will go to a different egg. Two sperms into two eggs. It's actually double pregnancy. In one womb. Two different people with different face, boy and a girl, two boys, two girls, but different faces, different everything, are growing now in a woman's womb. If God wants you to have identical twins, one sperm will go into one egg and later it will split that egg. You know how the kids play with balloon? With the soap, sometimes you see one double, and then you tap it, touch it a little bit, and they split. That's exactly what happened. From one sperm, it divided to two kids, and that's why they look exactly the same. And by the way, this is something that science also only discovered less than 20 years ago. They were not sure what creates identical, not identical, This is written in the Gemara 2,000 years ago. In the Gemara, the Gemara discussed if a woman can become pregnant twice, meaning she was with her husband today and a month later. So now she's already pregnant for one month. Can she become pregnant now again? Is this the reason for twins? So one is in the delivery, one will be 9 months old and the other one 8 months old. The Gemara had to discuss this. The Gemara said there's no pregnancy on top of a pregnancy. Okay, why? The body would not create eggs. There's no more period. Period is when the body creates eggs and no sperm went into those eggs. And these eggs have the potential to bring life. They're very, very important, these little microscopic eggs. Turns into a human being. It's not a joke. So now when the woman did not become pregnant, comes the period, everything explodes. All this blood is cleaning all the eggs of this month that were not used out of the system, and next month she will ovulate again and create new eggs. That's the system. Why Hashem had to make it in such a way? Because He didn't want the husband to be tired of his wife even after 50 years they married. If they'd be every night together, after 6 months he'd say to her, "Go to your father, he's missing you." You know, "What happened? 6 months ago he couldn't live a second without me." You know, every day you eat steak, you don't want to look at it anymore. That's the way Hashem made the world. Any pleasure, every day the same, you get tired of it, no matter how great it is. So Hashem said you have to make a timeout. For a player to play good, you have to give him timeout every 5 minutes. Give him a minute rest, he comes new into the game. The same thing in marriage. 12 days out of the month, timeout. Everything gets renewed, the excitement, the desire. Again, after the mikveh, 17, 18 days, enough. How much you want? Enough. Take a timeout. 12 days. This after 40 years, every month when they together, it's like the first night they met. Fantastic trick to keep a healthy marriage. But the secular people obviously don't want to do it because they want to be free. They don't want someone to dictate to them when to touch their wives or not. And as a result of that, 70% of them get divorced. There are consequences to your choices. Even if you made them out of ignorance or based on your desires, you will still pay the price. It's no difference why you made those choices. In the end, it's reality. You did it and you will pay for it. And you have to deal with what, what was created from your choices. By the way, you should know, sometimes the women are barren. They don't create eggs. So what do you do? They take one seed from the husband. They take an egg from a different woman who donated eggs. The other woman, let's say she's not Jewish. Christine decided to do a nice thing. She donated eggs. Miriam, the Jewish girl, she cannot give birth. She cannot have eggs. So she went with her husband and they suggested to go to the bank where people donate eggs. And they said there is eggs from Christine. She's 20 years old. She's a very nice girl. She did an act of charity. She donated an egg. So now they take the sperm from the husband, the Jewish husband, put it inside the egg of Christine, take the egg of Christine, plant it inside of Miriam, the Jewish girl, and a baby was born. Now, this Jew— this, this, this baby is Jewish or not? Not Jewish. The mother defined the religion of the baby. The baby has to come from a Jewish womb and from a Jewish egg. If the sperm comes from a Jewish man, the baby is Jewish. If it comes from non-Jewish man, the baby is still Jewish. So you see that the one who decide if a Jewish soul will come into this body is going to be Jewish or not, God makes this decision based on two things. If it's in a Jewish womb or comes from the Jewish egg. It has to be both. If you take an egg of a Jewish woman who donated and you put it in the womb of a non-Jewish woman, so now the baby is going to come out of the stomach of a non-Jewish woman, but the egg was from a Jewish woman, she's still— the baby is still not Jewish. It has to have two conditions. Jewish egg and Jewish foods. That's the rules in spiritual biology. Now I want to ask you a question: where does it say in the Torah that there is any difference between Jews and Gentiles? If it doesn't say in the Torah, every Jew who ever said that this difference between Jews and non-Jews is pure racist. Racist. And God hates racist. You're not allowed to hate people because of the color or because of the accent or because of where they're born or whatever the case is. Racism against any human being is actually coming to God and say, I disagree with your decision. If you don't like the black guy, you actually come and say to God, I disagree with you making this black guy. If you don't like the white guy, you come to God and say, you decided to make white people and I hate what you're doing. If you hate Jews, you come to God and say, I hate you making Jews. If you hate Arabs just because it's an Arab, you actually come to say to God, I hate what you made. Obviously you got the point. So there's no permission to hate anyone unless the Torah said so. Who did the Torah say to hate? Amalek. Clear obligation from the Torah. Here you go, discipline. I'm not the type to hate. I love everyone. I'm a hippie from the '70s. I went to Woodstock, smoking all day, life is great, chunky, you know. I came to India, I was in India. Over there we love everyone. Nice, but the Torah says not everyone you can like. You have to learn what the Torah says to love and who the Torah says not to love. So now, where does it say in the Torah that Jews and non-Jews, when they die, they go to different worlds? In the Torah, not by a speech of someone. Maybe he made it up. In the Torah, who can give me a verse from the Torah? And by the way, the Gentiles, the Christians, or Muslims at least, confirmed 1,000% that the Torah is 100% from God, the God they believe in. So they can't complain, because if it's a verse in the Torah, what can they say? Same Torah we believe in say that there's a difference between where the Jews go when they die and where the Gentiles go when they die. So we, the Jews, didn't make that decision. The Creator of the world made that decision, and he wrote it in his book that you believe in. You teach it in your church. You teach it in your mosque. The Muslims teach that the Jews got the Torah in Mount Sinai. No Muslims deny it. No Christians deny that the Jews are the chosen people that God gave them the Torah in a public event after the Exodus of Egypt. Do you know who the only people that denied that? Jews. Yes, Jews. Some secular, some atheists, some Reform. Yes, yes, that's unbelievable reality. So it's very interesting because when we see In a verse in the Torah, the argument is open. If it's not in the Torah, it's very dangerous because you're creating a new religion. Like, for instance, when the Muslims come and say, hey, the Jews, should kill them, it's against the Torah. By the way, it's against the Quran also, but that's besides the point. But I don't understand, Ahmed, you yourself said that this is the book of God. Yeah. And God say he loves the Jewish people, they are the chosen people. So why you want to kill them so bad? By the way, you know the answer to this question? If you have time, open in Google Amanat Hamas. How do you say in English Amanat? Like the principles or the foundation of the Hamas chart. Chart. The chart of the Hamas. Who started the Hamas? Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Remember this guy on a wheelchair that used to have a voice like a bird? He made tiff-tiff when he was talking. He is the mass murderer who was responsible for the killing of dozens of Jews, unfortunately. And he opened the Hamas, Hamas terror organization. One of the deadliest organizations in the world that don't care about women and children. They just want to kill Jews for being Jews. By the way, they also kill Arabs. They kill a lot of Arabs as well if they do not follow their program. But he wrote in the Amanat Hamas, the chart— charter— charter of the Hamas, he wrote The Jews— listen to this, I read it in the Bible. I actually have it in one of my lectures. I once showed it. The Jews are the chosen nation. God chose them and gave them everything. He made miracles for them nonstop, took them out of Egypt, brought them to the land here. And the Jews in return, with their ungratefulness, kept betraying him again and again and again, to the point that they killed their own prophets. And our job, the Muslims, is to teach these infidels A lesson. That's why we have thousands of rockets falling on us every week. Now, did he say the truth, as much as I despise him, or did he say a lie? I have no problem to admit that my biggest enemy say the truth because I'm not a politician. Remember, the Torah educate to admit the truth, not matter who said it. Even when the Nazis say the truth, if that's the truth, as much as we hate him, as much as we angry at him, but what he said, is this the truth or it's not the truth? That's it. Then later on you have to do what you have to do with him. You want to judge him, you do whatever you have to do. But right now I'm asking you a question. What he say, it's the truth or it's not the truth? It's the truth. I hate to admit it, but it's the truth. Nobody will suspect that I'm a fan of Acharei Yassin, right? So as much as I can't stand him, what he wrote is 100% true. And why don't we pay the price for it? What do you think? And by the way, we don't need him for that. It's written in Parashat Behukotai. In Parashat Behukotai. So I started to explain Where does it say that the Jews and the Gentiles go to the same world? Don't get me wrong, there are righteous Gentiles that go to heaven, and it's fantastic. We are the only religion that is not missionary. Christians, they invest billions to go and hunt souls. Jews here in Texas, everywhere, missionary. Hello, how are you, Mr. Joseph? My name is Chris, and this is Moses. We want to show you something. 'Look, we have a mezuzah for you. Can we talk to you? Would you come Sunday? We have a party over here in Houston, you know. Oh, we heard you need help with the mortgage. How much is your debt? Don't worry, we can work it out.' Our Lord reminds me that back in the days, one Jew was broke. Pesach is coming in one week and he has no money to food. Everyone has matzah, wine. He doesn't have anything. He comes to the Jews and says, oh, enough with you, every year we have to feed you, go for the job already. So somebody told him, listen, go to the kitchen. They're very generous, especially if they see a Jew come for help, they'll help you out. Go to the church, go in the afternoon. He went to the church, comes inside, and Middle of the day. Hello, Father! Hello! Anyone here? Quiet. He sees a big statue of Jay-Z like this on the stage. And he sees a beautiful chandelier. Beautiful chandelier with pieces of gold. What pieces of gold? Big, thick pieces of gold around. Nice. All you have to do is to pick them up. Father, anyone? No one is here. He grabbed a ladder, he took 2 pieces of gold, and quickly then cashed it out, went to the Bukharian Jews in 47th Street, gave them a chunk of cash, and he bought beautiful grape matzahs, everything for Pesach. In the middle of Holam Oied, A messenger from the church arrived in a synagogue. Everyone is in a mood. Rabbi! Yes? The priest and the president needs to talk to you urgent. Come with me. What happened? Rabbi, then quickly, look what happened. The only one who will dare to steal from a church is one of you. We give you 24 hours to give it back or we will I expel all of you from our country. You won't be able to live here 24 hours. Wow, the rabbi went crazy! What are we gonna do now? Run quickly to the shul. Hello, stop! Anyone took from the church 2 pieces of gold? Please tell me who it is, and we have to return it before we all gonna be finished here. So this Jew said, Rabbi, relax. Why are you so panicking? Relax, I took it. I had the best Pesach thanks to that. I said, oh my God, what are we gonna do? Where is it? I cashed it in 47th Street. We have to get it back. All right, give me 1 hour, I will resolve the issue. How are you gonna resolve the issue? They'll kill you. You're not gonna come back. You might as well lie away. He went to the church, he walked in. Now they were in full service. Father, yes, I'm the Jew that took the two pieces of gold. Now the audience, they're ready to choke him. He said to him, just like that you come with no fear to admit, and you're crying? He said, why crying? Do you think I'm an army person? I'm a religious Jew. Do you think I'm capable of We will see about that. How did you— I came the other day, someone told me that you people are generous, you're going to help me out. I came here, I scream, Father, Father, help me out. You were not here, nobody was here. And I say, I need food for Pesach, please. Hello, anyone? Nobody answer. All of a sudden, JC say, son, son, to me? I'm also a Jew like you. How can I help you? I say, hey, JC, thank you for talking to me. What's the problem? We value Hashem very well to you. Get the ladder, take me to the store. So the father and the president, they have now a dilemma. What is he going to say? Ah, you really believe that JC can say anything? So they say, okay, that's one side. Give us 2 minutes. They went behind the scenes. So listen, she was very clever. If we're going to come out and say we don't believe you, then the people would say, wait a minute, we bring to JC and you say basically cannot help? It's an opportunity for us to teach our people a lesson. So they came out politically correct. Wow, we're very happy that our Father helped this brother, Junior. See, when we tell you to pray, Jesse will always supply. No problem, you had a good Passover. We're very happy for you. Thank you for coming. That's how it ends. So where does it say? Again, if it's not in the Torah, you don't have permission ever to say it. If it's written, that's what God wrote in his book. What are you afraid of? Balaam, the prophet of the Gentiles. Balaam. There was Moshe Rabbeinu and there was Balaam. And Balaam was hired by Balak, the king of Moab, to curse the Jewish nation. Yes, to curse the Jewish nation. So, and on his way, God said to him, don't dare to curse. Only speak what I will put in your mouth. Otherwise, don't speak. So when he came, he actually said one of the greatest prophecies for the Jewish people. It turned into a blessing. He came to chaos, but in the end he became a great blessing. And one of the verses in speech is— translation: I want my soul to die like the Jews will die, and I would like to end where the Jews will end. Clear verse in the Torah which no one denied, not the Christians and not the Muslims. And that's the end of the argument right there. What does it mean, the chosen people? That we got the Torah, beautiful, but there is consequences to it. That if we live by the Torah We will go to the highest place you can imagine. And again, I wish all my secular brothers and sisters to end where the Gentiles will end. The righteous one, they go to heaven. Fantastic. Many Jews have no share to the world to come if a Jew is not observing the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the eternal covenant between the Jewish nation and God. The Gentiles You don't have to observe the Sabbath. It was given only to the Jewish people, one day of strike. You're not allowed to create anything. I created the world in 6 days, and the 7th day I rested. And as a result of that, you're not allowed to create anything on the 7th day. When a Jew disobeys and ignores God's instruction and works on Shabbat and turns fire on and sews and works on his computer and watch television and that he does. Basically, the Sabbath, which is a holy day for him, is a regular weekday, not different. He does the same thing. This is what the Torah say: and the nation of Israel observed the Sabbath to make the Sabbath for their generations an eternal covenant, Brit Olam, eternal, between me and the nation of Israel. It's a sign for eternity between me— who is speaking here? God. Between me and the nation of Israel, it's a sign for eternity that I created the world in 6 days and in the 7th day I rested. Any Jew who will violate the holiness of the Sabbath should be put to death in this world and in the next world, and I will cut his soul from the Jewish nation Eternally. Clear verse in the Torah, appear 12 times. Nothing in the Torah is mentioned so many times. Even you should not kill 3 times, should not steal 2 or 3 times, to observe the Sabbath 12 times. There's only one thing in the Torah that is mentioned more times than this. Who knows what? Gossip is not mentioned more than 12 times. Mentioned, but not 12 times. Who knows? Very good. To love the converts, Gentiles that became Jewish for real, not because they want to play Maccabi basketball, because they fell in love with a Jewish Israeli mother. Not for that, because if she was Muslim, they become Muslim. That's nothing to do with that. Converts, many. I have many. I have so many thousands of Gentiles listening to me. I can't believe I get at least 100 emails a day from Gentiles, even Arabs, Chinese, Korean, Pakistani, lots of Indians. And mostly Spanish descent, because a lot of them are lost Jews, you know, from the Spanish Inquisition. They're very attracted to Judaism, the Spanish people, and they all beg to convert because of the lectures. And those who are very, very serious, we help them to convert, they become really righteous. The problem with the Gentiles, when they convert, they actually come from one world They meet a whole different world, no relatives, they don't know the language, they don't know the customs yet. Very difficult for them to be alone in a world without the support of the community. And the problem is, by the Jewish people, unfortunately, I hate to say it, but the truth must be told, many Jews are either foolish or racist. When they see a Chinese guy or a Black guy or Spanish guy in the community, not everyone run to hug him to help him. Hey, how are you? What's your name? Jose. Jose, you're Joseph. Come here, let me help you. Let me show you. You have a place to eat on Shabbat. Isn't it racist to assume that somebody from another ethnicity is a conqueror? Is it? Is it not racist to assume that somebody who looks different from you is necessarily a conqueror? Isn't that racist in and of itself? No, no. When I say when When Gentiles come to convert, we as Jews have an obligation to honor, help them. The Torah says you cannot deceive them, cannot torture them, cannot upset them. You have to support them. What's racist about it? I don't understand. It's racist to assume to see somebody who looks Asian or Hispanic and assume that they're converts. No, I'm talking someone who comes to the synagogue. If you see a Chinese guy come to the synagogue with a yarmulke and try to pray, What is he doing there? If he wants to— nah, it's not racist. If you see someone that's not Jewish, obviously if you see a Chinese guy, you know he's not Jewish from birth, right? So, well, you definitely know. So if you see that the guy is trying to learn what to do Wolf comes to us, you find out that he's a Jew, nothing happened, no offense, he won't be upset. If the Chinese will tell you, by the way, I was born Jewish, very good, no problem, you're still welcome. But that's the Torah say 36 times, 36 times, to love and not to deceive the converts. 36 times, wow. And some Jews don't get the point. How many times I said in my lectures, every time you deal with the convert, you have to put extra effort. Why? Because God said so. Same thing with the widows, because there's no husband to take care of them. Same thing with the orphans. So you see, there's a pattern here. Those who are alone, meaning there's nobody to support them financially spiritually, you know, mentally, they need extra support. So now is your opportunity to run in. Regular kid that has a father and mother, they take care of him, he doesn't need you. Let's move on. So Bilaam say, I want my soul to die like the Jews die. What does it mean? Jews and Gentiles died in the same way. If he is sick, he's sick, they both die. If they got old, they die. If has a dead accident, they both die. What, did you ever see a Jew and a Gentile dying in a different way? No. Naturally, everybody dies in the same way, no matter what country you're from. However, if it's written in a Talmud that the prophet of the Gentiles say, I would like my soul to die like the soul of the Jewish people. That means there has to be a difference. The next verse explains the difference. And I want my end to be like the end of the Jewish people. What do you mean? When the Jewish person ends and the goy ends, they both end the same way. That guy, that Tony, just died, and Joseph just died, and And they put him in the same sand. He's in the ground and he's in the ground. What do you mean I want my end to be like the Jew? He went to a different ground, a different sand. What's the difference? Obviously, you see, I'm not talking about the body here. I'm talking about the soul. Literally, it's a nafshi. Nafshi means my soul. So we see there's a difference. Let's go back to what I started with. So we said person should always confess and admit for the truth. That's one level. In your heart, you would like right now to cheat your customer, but you know God is watching and he said not to do such thing. So your heart tells you to steal. It's a very naive customer, can make an extra $1,000 in a second. By telling him his time and his age and his size. What does he know from his life? He's not an expert. Very easy to cheat him, especially if very rich guy doesn't care. So your heart, your evil inclination, say, come on, that's your chance, extra $2,000 in a minute. But then you say, but God is watching, how can I go against him? So you fight with yourself and then you say, excuse me, sir, 'This is the real price. That's not it. Here, take it.' 'What? You sure? Oh, I thought it's two.' 'No, that's the price.' So you did not steal. That's fantastic. Are you righteous or wicked? You're righteous, because the judgment is based on your actions. But now there is a higher level than righteous. There's one higher level than righteous. You know what's the level? Hasid. Hasid. They call themselves Hasidish because they want to be Hasidim like it's written in a, in a Mesilat Yesharim, in a Path to the Just book. Hasid means above righteous, meaning righteous, righteous say you have to give 10% of your income for charity. From your net income. Jews. Gentiles that will give will get a huge reward for it. It's no discrimination, but the obligations in the Torah is for the Jews. If the farmers, whatever grain they got out of the field, 10% has to go to the temple, to the kohanim. But he is a chasid, he wants to give 20%. Better? Nobody asked you. Right? Somebody comes to you asking for food, you can give him $10, go buy yourself falafel, I don't have time for you now, $10, goodbye. Or you can bring him into your house and make him now beautiful omelette, eat bread for him, here is cream cheese, eat, let me do it, settle you, take some melon. So the same thing you did, but this time you put more efforts into it. You actually fed him, saved him the trip to the store to buy, to make. Let's call me that chasidu. You have no obligation to do it. You can give him the money. I saved you. You say you're hungry. Here is the money. Let's call me that chasidu. Somebody owe you money. You see that he's poor. You have no obligation. You're not obligated to give up the money. But when you see that the person is struggling so much, you have mercy on him. Don't worry, you don't have to give it back. No, no, please, I want to be— I borrowed it, I have to pay it back. No, no, I'm forgiving you, don't worry about it. That's called— all these things that I just mentioned, it's called midat chasidu. A worker, moving company, a worker came to your house, made a scratch on the wall unit. Wow, it cost me $10,000. Look at the scratch now. So you can sue them, you can make him pay, you can do that, you're gonna win, 100%. Midat chasidut means don't worry about it. Here, take your money, have a nice day, bye-bye. Take your marker from Walmart, you're correct, nobody will ever see it. That's called midat chasidut. You got the point, right? So the next level that the Gemara says, make sure that you are the same indoor and outdoor, that you're not a hypocrite and fake. Always admit for the truth and speak the truth in your heart. That's already higher level. Not only in the end you always say the truth, but your heart is the exact opposite. No, no, your heart and your mouth become equal. That's a very high level, very high, and only very few people make it to this level. You know what it means that your heart and your mouth say the same? I'll tell you how. I just needed to order a lot of mezuzahs from Yerushalayim, from Jerusalem. So I went all over because I had a lot of I bring a mezuzah for half the price of what they sell it in the store. Very high quality. I only get the best ones. I ran for one— I checked maybe 20 or maybe 15 different sofrim, that rabbis, checking pictures, sending me many things, going, meeting the guy, checking who he is, looking at the guy. Because I need right now in a big order of over 160 mezuzahs. After all of that, I found few good ones, but I found one that we know personally. He learns, and very, very poor, very, very poor. He learns all day Torah, he writes few mezuzot a month. So I told him, how many mezuzot you can make between now and January? I'm coming back to Israel in 10 days, or 9. How many would be? He said, maximum I can make one a day. I don't want it to come from my Torah learning. So I have a little bit time at night, that's it. Even though I don't have what to eat, I still don't want to lose a minute of Torah to write mezuzot. So I'll do it only late after my wife and kids go to sleep. Instead of going to sleep, I write mezuzot for 3 hours, I sleep late. So I said, how many you gonna make? 30, 40? He made a month and a half. $150. Okay, whatever I make, the rest, take somewhere else. So after I agree with him on the price, 2 days later I called the rabbi of his yeshiva for different matter, and he said to me, you don't understand, after you left, somebody came into the yeshiva with a mezuzah that is not as great as him, and you know the price he was asking? Exactly double. Double, not 10% more, double. I said, the rabbi told me, I feel very bad. Not only so poor, he saw that other people sell this result that are not as great as he is for double on the price. So I said to him, give me, give me his telephone number, I'll call him myself. So I called him up, a guy 30 years old, in the cold in Yerushalayim. I said to him, listen, I will pay you more money whenever you think it's safe. He said, oh, absolutely not, Chasdei Chalilah, God forbid. I said, why not? I'm not normal, I'll pay you more. I felt very bad for him, I know he's poor. He said to me, no, no, he's not safe, he left home a day. In my heart, I settled for that amount. I will not take a penny more than that. That's what it means. That's what my heart said. You don't know, you don't read my mind, right? You don't know that I agree for this. I could have told you something else. I agree, that's it, end of story. How about you? Did you give more money? Huh? Did you give him one? I didn't get there yet. But I promise you one thing. If he will refuse to get the money, I will arrange to give him an anonymous donation. You understand? Because the last thing I do is take advantage of people. And if you know me, 25 years I take care of people, and not once in my life I ask from them anything. Not money, not favors, nothing. Nobody pays me for visits, for meetings. I stay 3 hours after my lectures every night to talk to people for free for 25 years. I don't have an office that you have to come and pay me money to see me. It's not such a thing. I don't charge for my lectures. I go everywhere. That's it. I don't ask. I don't have a price. I'm not a businessman. I don't sell the Torah for money. I have one goal. My goal is to save as many souls. That's it. And don't worry, the reward is much greater than money. You understand? If you settle for money, it's going to take away from your main reward. What is the third category? I know you already forgot. There's 4 categories, right? You forgot. So now, what is the third category? The third— shh, the baby is disturbing me, I'm sorry. So the third category, you must fix your bad traits. You proud? Get rid of it. Stingy? Get rid of it. You jealous? Get rid of it. You lazy? You can't wake up in the morning? Get rid of it. How do you get rid of it? 9:30, you're still snoring. Even though you went to sleep at 9:30 at night. Hey, you're 12 hours already sleeping. What is this? After 6 to 8 hours, the longer you sleep, the more tired you get. Guaranteed. Some people need 6 hours of sleep, some 7, some 8. Less than 6 is not good, not healthy. More than 8 is also not healthy. That's what the Rambam writes, not me. I'm not bringing my own opinions. So now, what is the fourth category? I'm sure that the first and the second category, all of you already knew, right? You don't need to be a genius to know you must keep the commandments and you cannot make sins. The third, the third category, some of you maybe knew. Not everyone. Not everyone knows that the main reason that we came to the world is to fix our weaknesses and bad personality and traits. The fourth category, almost nobody knows. Even religious people sometimes don't know. Who knows what's the fourth category? Who knows? Very good. The fourth category is Torah ideology, what we call Jewish ideology. What is the meaning in ideology? In Hebrew, it's ashkafa. Ashkafa— views. Torah views. How the Torah view this matter, right? There are hundreds of hundreds of maybe thousands of topics that in each topic and subject the Torah has a precise view. If you don't know the views of the Torah, you will immediately become an infidel without realizing it. And that's a problem because remember what I said before, you must have all 4 categories. Let me give you a few examples. One of the common mistakes that religious Jews do, and definitely secular, they say to their children, if you won't go to college, how are you going to make a living? Very, very big sin to talk like this. Heresy, pure heresy. The Torah say, I am God feeding every creature, from a mosquito to an elephant to a ram to anything, everyone in this world, Jews, non-Jews, even the enemies of God. I feed all of them. Who fed Bin Laden? Who fed Hitler? Who fed Eichmann? Who fed Arafat? Who fed Saddam Hussein? Who fed all the Jews that hate the Torah so much and promote gay parades and promote demonstrations against God and destroy Israel from inside spiritually? Who feeds them? Who buys them cars? Who gives them beautiful homes in Herzliya and in kibbutz to live? It's all me. Your education will not add a penny to your income. It's written in the book of King Solomon in Kohelet, wisdom of any kind does not bring any financial gain. Now I know what you're gonna say. Come on, you're living the dream, be realistic. I went to Harvard and I became a lawyer and later the President of United States, and I charge $100,000 for half an hour speech. Who is that? Obama. Obama. $150,000 speech, almost like me. So how he became a billionaire? How? If you would not go to Harvard and would not become a lawyer, and the education that he got in Harvard made him a great speaker with charisma that he was able to fool 400 million Americans to the top. And he fooled 75% of the Jews, voted for him. Second time, 69%, even though they know he hates Israel. They knew the second election, they already knew. First election, you can say innocent mistake. Second election, 69% of the Jews still vote for him. So he got to where he got thanks to the college. And all the millions he made is thanks to his education. True or false? False. Mike Tyson, who doesn't know how to write his name in English, make much more money than me by giving few punches to people and break their head. I hope Tyson didn't give you a punch. I hope he won't hear this lecture on YouTube. He doesn't come to find me. So the idea is that sometimes you can be very smart and you make millions. Sometimes you can be very, very stupid and you still make millions. Sometimes you can be blind and you make millions. Sometimes you can be Any negative things you can think of and you make millions. So the way— I'll give you an example. I heard that story, someone that 20 years ago I was able to make him Shomer Shabbat, but he did not become very religious. At best case, he put tefillin, he kosher, and Shomer Shabbat, and just about it. Didn't actually continue to grow. He just died, 52 years old, from heart defect. A friend of mine that I grew up with is a mutual friend of both of us. He knows him and he knows me. I wasn't in touch with him, but with this guy I'm in touch from time to time. We grew up together in the same neighborhood. He called me up. Did you hear what happened? Our friend died. What? Young? How? Yeah, he had a defect in his heart. He went to some rabbi. Sometimes rabbis think they are God. It's also a problem. The rabbi told him you don't need the operation, and 2 months later he died. Since when rabbi became heart doctor? When you have medical problems, You don't go— you go to the rabbi to get a blessing. Rabbi, please pray for me. But you have to go to the specialist about heart, no matter who he is, Jew, non-Jew, doesn't matter. He's an expert in hearts to tell you what the heart needs. You can go and consult with your rabbi later on. Rabbi, they offer me two ways to handle the problem. One, to do an operation. One, to do ballooning. One, to do this. One, to to take aspirin, whatever, can give you an advice, but you can't gamble with your life based on some Baba who thinks he's God. The same thing, you don't ask your Rabbi about your IRS tax return because he doesn't know accounting, and you don't ask your Rabbi which team to vote for in a football game in Texas. Rabbi, I put my money on Dallas or Houston? What is I asked somebody, tell me, where is the life more expensive, in Houston or in Dallas? So he told me, depend who you ask. If you ask people from Houston, But the idea is that when you come to ask someone from one place, he will say the truth even though it's against him. That's the point. Anyway, so wisdom will not increase your money. Now I know what you're saying. You cannot deny that Obama made $400,000 a year as a lawyer and later millions as a retired president thanks to his education. If he would be in a neighborhood with no education, will he make a million dollars a year? The answer is no. What got him to make millions of dollars is education. It's true. But there's one thing you're not getting. Every person in Rosh Hashanah, Hashem writes how much he must make this year, no matter what. How do you want to make it? It's up to you. You want to trust me? You want to sit and learn Torah? You want to help people? You want to do volunteering work? I still commit to what I want you and your family to have for this year. You want to go and kill yourself and learn and learn and become a lawyer and become a judge and become an accountant? No problem. It's not a crime. You want to be? Be. No problem. So I will give you the money in a vessel that you created. By killing yourself or learning thousands of hours to become a lawyer. If you did not want to be a lawyer, you wanted to be a rabbi, you sit in yeshiva for 30 years, and then you learn, learn, learn, and you still can make the same thing. Some rabbis make a lot of money without going to college, without education. Do you understand what I'm saying here or no? So I started to tell you the story about this young guy that died. My mutual friend, he knows both of us, he told me today I had a very big problem. He has a son from his first marriage who he hardly saw because you know how it is when couple get divorced. Unfortunately, the women that have the kids, some of them are not right, not fair, and they use the kids as hostage against the father. The father wasn't good, wasn't a good husband, so they use the kid as like he's a toy or something. You want it, you give me this. You don't, you're not ever seeing it, you know, you know. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. So that's what happened. He hardly saw his boy. And my friend, luckily, few days before he died, wanted to do a business deal with him in real estate, and he sent him a picture of his bank statement to proof collateral that he can buy the building. Otherwise, nobody would know that he has millions of dollars in the bank. Nobody would know. You would never believe this guy is a millionaire. Nobody knows, not his ex-wife, not his son. His son in Israel doesn't know that his father in America is a multimillionaire. Besides the millions that he has, he has also real estate here. So imagine this: if he would die a few days earlier, before he sent the statement to my friend, who would eat the money? The bank. No one would ever know that 30 years of working like a slave, saving dollar by dollar, went to the garbage. And that's what happened to all of us, the Jews in the Holocaust. All the money in the banks in Europe, they stole. The banks. When I remember, I did a deal with someone like 22, 23 years ago in New York. Lucky me, the guy was doing service to the Swiss Bank of New York. Swiss Bank. Just when I invested my money with this guy, 3 days later, he said, 'Don't ask.' The governor put a stop on this bank because Jewish people asking them to give hundreds of millions of dollars that they stole from their parents in Holocaust. So there's no— I cannot do any— I cannot get a check from Swiss bank until this matter will be resolved in court. Lucky, oh Hashem, it was resolved and the money was released. That's how I know. In the end, they reached a settlement. They gave the Jews $100 million, which is not even a penny from what they took. And that was the end of it. It's so sad. Not only the people died in such a brutal way, not only they destroyed the life of millions, in the end they stole all their money. That if they had some kind of a survivor in a family that was entitled to get that money, He had no access to it because it was in Switzerland. Back then, used to be by numbers. There's no name. If you die with the secret number, that's it, they take the money. Do you know that in America it's the same thing? I had a little account with some money. I used to have time 20-something years ago. I used to buy stocks. A little money left there. I barely forgot about it. After a while, I got a letter from the bank that by this date the government will take the money because no transaction was done in the account for X amount of time. So if you dispute our decision, please call this number and send the fax. Meaning if I didn't get their letter, they would take away the money. So if you have a sleeping account somewhere in America and you don't do any transaction, one day you come, access denied. The government took your money. Go to court now and fight for it. That's the law here in America. I don't remember how many years is this, but that's the law here. You have to dispute it. You have to— so he said— so I asked him, how do I avoid it? He said, make one transaction a year. I don't know, take $10 from the ATM to see that you are alive. Meaning, if you're dead, we can take all your money. Why don't you ask if I have children to give it to them? Why are you taking the money? Welcome to the land of honesty. Huh? Time is running out. The fourth category is Ashkafa ideology. Let me give you more examples. If you don't go to college, you won't have what to eat. Wrong. If you don't go to work, you're not going to have what to eat. Wrong. If we don't have this, the best Israeli army in the world, we'll be all dead by now. Wrong. The Torah say the opposite. The Torah say, I fight for you, nobody else. I use the soldiers, of course, I help them out to move, to shoot, to to fight, to bomb. Of course, everything has to be done in a natural way. But if I do not want the soldiers to succeed, if they practice a million hours, they will fail. And if I want them to succeed, they practice 2 hours and they succeed. And when I want the Palestinians who barely know how to hold the gun, you know, to shoot at the $1 billion Israeli boats, in the last war. That 5 minutes that they shot, the special radar that defend against missile crashed. 5 minutes it was crashed when the missile came. It always special, it's a $1 billion boat, war boat. The 5 minutes that the Arab shot, that 5 minutes that was meant to act as a system, and he shot and made a huge damage to revolt. Coincidence? What world do you live in? I wanted that damage to be done. I also will show you that 3,000 missiles will fall in your head and not one person will be scratched. And tomorrow the same thing, and tomorrow the same thing. They asked the Arab in the last war, one of the heads of the Hamas, the guy asked him, the reporter, tell me, are you blind? You shot thousands of rockets, you didn't hit one target. You know what was the answer of the Hamas terrorist? Check the headlines in Israeli newspaper, you can Google it. He said, you know, in practice we can aim that the rocket will go through the window of a building and we hit. When we practice, we have a screen. We know how to aim that the rocket will come into this building on the 3rd floor in the right window. But what can we do that their God is defending them? That's his words. I'm surprised how this stupid reporter did not say, so what are you doing? Why you keep shooting if their God doesn't want them to get hurt? Aren't you afraid of what's going to happen to you? There is a flaw there. What do you expect? Ah, yeah. Let's give a few more examples and then I give time for questions. Ideology is to be influenced by what people on the media are selling to us every day. They brainwash a lot of us without realizing to become infidels. We constantly hear it, hear it everywhere you go, everyone. So we become, without realizing, we become people that actually are infidels with no bad intention. I'll give you an example. Many Jews are very worried right now if President Trump will be impeached, meaning if they will have to be fired. No, no, meaning completely. So far they did not— it's not officially done yet. So many Jews are worried, especially Israelis. It was very good for Israel, was very good president to Israel. How he behaves, how he does things, that's a different story. But every one of his decisions was politically correct, meaning he did the right thing for America, for the Jews, and for Israel. And you don't have to agree with me, it's no problem, it's not a part of the lecture. But that's my opinion. Not that I agree with some of the things he does and the show that he makes, Okay, that's besides the point. We care about the final decisions. But what would happen if they fire him? Who do you think is in charge of all the good things that happened to Israel since he became a president? Him or God? That's our mistake. We thought, wow, president that love the Jews, his daughter converted to Judaism, she married a Jew, the He's got a job. The Jews are all over now. They're in power. They give him good advices. He loves Israel. He did business with lots of Israelis and Jews. Finally, we got rid of Obama and we got a good president that loves us. It's all true. He means well. But he only able to do it because Hashem wanted it. If Hashem did not want He would make sure he will fail again and again and again in all his good intentions. Just like Obama had bad intentions and Hashem protected us from his evil plan. I give you one example. When we were in the middle of the battle with the Arabs, we buy from America Apache helicopters. Very good helicopters for war. And we depend on the missiles to import them from United States. Without the missiles, the helicopter is worth nothing. What are you going to do with that? Maybe you take a tour in Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty, you know. And that's what costs millions of dollars, this war helicopter. But you need ammunition. So they asked Obama, say, don't send to the Israelis missiles in the middle of the war. No supply of weapons. Why? Because we don't want our bombs to fall on the head of these Hamas Palestinians. Hussein Obama, what do you expect? But you know who really did this? Obama or Hashemi? Hashem, 100%. Obama is a puppet the same way Trump is a puppet. How do I know it? It's written in the Tanakh. Once you become a leader, a king, a prime minister, or anything that is in power of the army or anything like that, when it comes to your personal life, you still have a free will to be righteous or wicked like everybody else. When it comes to decisions that affect the country, you don't make any decisions. I make all the decisions. I control your heart, just like with Pharaoh. The heart of the king is in the hand of God. There's a verse, verse in the Tanakh. That's it. What are you arguing? So if George Bush was with us or against us, It's God's decision. If Obama wants to hurt us, it's Hashem's decision. If Hashem doesn't want, he decided, but Hashem won't let him succeed. What happened from Obama's decision? Do you know what? Israel and America were competing who will sell missiles to India for almost a billion dollars. A billion dollars for Israel economy, it's big money. United States is the number one supporter of Israel in the world, giving us every year $2.5 billion in aid and basically controlling us 100%. We can't make a beep without them. Whatever the United States will say, we must do. We can't go against them. For $2.5 billion and other help that they give us here and there, $2.5 billion, that's it. Sheldon Adelson alone could have given it if he wanted. It's not such big money when it comes to countries, but the billion dollars for Israel apparently is big money. So the Indians decided to buy from America because they're afraid of America. They don't want to go against them. But when Obama made that decision, they canceled the contract and they bought everything from Israel. They told Obama, you Americans are traitors, you do not help your allies in time of trouble. Look at the Russians, they help Iran, they always with them. They Syria, they always with them, no matter what happened. They know they're wrong, but they never leave them in the middle. But with you, you only do what's good for you. And when Israel needed weapon for the helicopters they bought for you, you you shut them off, how can we rely on you? Cancel the deal. From now on, we buy weapons only from Israel. And the war ended the next morning. So there was only one day. We didn't need the missiles. This is Hashem's way. If you have divine eyes and divine head, you see it's all Hashem. Why are you panicking? If you have a university head, ah, of course, no, ma, of course, everything is nature. Hashem is no wall here. That's the story of Chanukah. The Greeks put the poison into us. It's all nature. You're not allowed to circumcise your babies. Why? If they were born like this naturally, don't think you know anything. What do you mean? We do it for spiritual reason. We don't want to hear about spirituality here. You're not allowed to keep Shabbat. What do you care if I keep Shabbat or not? What is it your business? You came from Athens, you Greeks. What do you care if in my house I light fire or no? You are annoying. By you doing all these strange things that you call it spiritual, you're actually opposing us and our ideology. That's why we can't stand it. You're not allowed to announce Rosh Chodesh, the head of the month, the renewal of the moon. Why? Because who do you think you are, the rabbis, to decide where is the beginning of the month? You will decide the calendar? What are you, the creator of the world? The Greeks admit that the world has a creator. They just claim that he left us. He made us, he gave it to different gods, like mini gods. They believed in many gods. And he doesn't care what happened here. So that's Aristo and his heresy. And Alexander Magdon spread that heresy all over the world because he occupied the whole world, basically. That's how the Greek Empire, they took position in every country. And the Jews annoyed them the most. Why would, why would they come and care and touch the oil? For the barrel of oil. What is that? You want to kill us? Kill us. You want to let us live? Let us live. You want to charge taxes? We'll pay your taxes. Why are you coming to touch our oil or our wine? The whole war here is not physical. We don't want to kill you. We want to kill your religion. We want to kill your spirituality. We want to kill your Torah, If we're going to catch you learning Torah, we'll kill you and burn you with the Torah. That's the reason we read Aftara on Shabbat. So we told them, okay, we're not going to read in the Torah, but can we read in different books? Jeremiah, Isaiah. Ah, those are people. Yeah, you can, you can read in these books, not in this Torah. They warned you. Okay, no problem, let's choose a topic from the prophets, the it's similar to what the Torah say, and read it every Shabbat. And we do it until today. So you see that what bothers them, and what bothers them the most, when they arrive to the Holy Temple, they saw a wood fence with a sign: up to here Gentiles are allowed to walk, from here on Only Jews. I went crazy. Discrimination, discrimination. What, what is this sign? I cannot go in? No, you can't go in. I occupy the whole world. You're gonna tell me if to go in or not? It's for spiritual reason. I went crazy. That's when they decided to go full force against us. I would finish with the same sentence I started with. I still don't understand why in the world secular people that in Israel, very common, that fights the religion every day, vote for parties for the Knesset that declare that give us the power to close the yeshivas and destroy the Torah and the Jewish halacha. And they hate everything religious, to the point that when they see a religious person walks in the street, they come and spit in his face and break his glasses. Sometimes I've seen it happen. And a week later, when Chanukah comes, these hypocrites stand by the window and say, Very good. What a hypocrite. Bless you, God, for making miracles to our father in those days. What miracles? Save them from the secular propaganda and ideology and the Greek ideology. And you are the Greeks! Imagine the Greeks now in Athens, they decide they celebrate Hanukkah. They say to me, what are you doing? We decided over here every year when the Jews celebrate Hanukkah, we also light menorah. Why? For the miracles that God did. And God made miracles against you! You should make a mourning day, not a celebration. That just shows you that the majority of the Jewish people in the world has no idea what they even live for. Nothing. They don't know what they do. They don't understand what they do. They see people lighting menorah, they light menorah. But what are you lighting the menorah for? What are you saying? Don't you pay attention to what you're saying? You're actually cursing yourself. You're thanking God for destroying people like you that fight the Shabbat, that fight the Torah, that fight the religion. How do you dare to even say these words? You are the Greek. You actually did much worse than the Greek. Look what happened now in Israel. Two elections, no government for one person. Russian person hate Hashem, hate Torah, hate religion, just worse than Antiochus the Greek. Lieberman, one election, millions of millions of dollars went to the garbage. Another election, same story. Now it's going to be another election in a month, it will be the same story. No government. Why? He will not form a government until the religious people will sign. No budgets to the yeshivot. All the Talmidei Yeshivot has to go to the army and close the yeshivot. Jews will be able to marry non-Jews. Gays will be able to marry in Israel. Jews won't have to go to Cyprus to get married, civil marriage. They will marry in Israel with anyone they want. What do you think will be the next decree? That you're allowed to marry little girls, 5, 10, 15 years old, no problem. Why not? And the next thing is gonna be people would want to marry animals. In America, it's already done. Go to Google and write women marry their dogs. And see what you're going to see over there and you faint. Do it after Chanukah. Don't do it after you ate the donuts. It may give you heartburn. You have to see these American women standing with a wedding gown, with a wedding ring. Oh, I love you. Who? My husband. The dog? Would you marry me? Ha ha. Who saw the Bar Mitzvah? Bar Mitzvah. Then the phone people bought filling for $2,000 and put it on the head of the dog and put him on the Torah. They opened the Torah, put him like this, all of them around. Smile! Happy Bar Mitzvah! To the dog. What's going on to the Jewish people in America? I want to tell you something. I'm not a politician, and I really hate politics. And I was offered to be in top position in Israeli politics already few times, and I think I could have made a great change there. But I know that if I will go into that place, in one year I will be corrupted And everything I ever done right will all go down the tube. I know, because the test will be so hard with politics and hypocrisy and bribe and who knows what. Why should I put myself in such a place? But I want to tell you something. Inside the Israeli government, They making now rules of Sodom and Gomorrah official law of the land. It's not the first time there are gays in Israel. There were always gays. There were married women that cheated in Israel, not from today. It was always done. There were thieves and there are people that do all kinds of other crimes. It's nothing new under the sun. But that's the first time that the Jewish people decided to make the official constitution of the land of the Jews, the constitution that is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. And every time a nation in the history of the world made the official constitution the laws against God, officially, God destroyed them. That's why I'm so worried about my brothers and sisters. If Tel Aviv became the capital city of the gays in the world, part of it, and they have thousands of thousands of gays every day coming to Tel Aviv and flooding it in the heart of the Holy Land. How long Hashem will have patience for this? The people here in America, the Jews, I don't know what happened to them. I really don't understand what happened to these liberal Jews, to all. But I always want to tell you something. Like I said, I don't care so much about politics because in the end Hashem will do what he wants. I'll tell you one thing. If you are a Jew or a Gentile and you are voting for the Democrats, it's probably the biggest sin you made in your life. And I'll tell you why. Not that the Republicans are righteous rabbis. Not exactly. But voting for Democrats is supporting abortions, murdering millions of babies on the land of United States in a period of 4 years. Abortion every minute in America, taking a baby and cutting him with a knife to pieces and vacuuming it now, the pieces. That's what Democrats want. Voting for Democrats with a yarmulke on your head or a Star of David necklace Democrats, and they are pro-gay marriage. We want to marry men with men, women with women, or two women with a man, or two men with a woman. Don't tell us what to do. That's what we want. Democrats. Democrats want rights to murderers. They want rights to terrorists. They don't care about the soldiers that died because of them, but they care about the terrorists. That's what they want. They always been like that. Democrats hate God. They declare it every day. They're not hiding it. If you are a Jew or a Gentile— Gentiles also supposed to love God and to be righteous— if you vote for them, you becoming a part of their crimes. A part of their crimes. Every time they do what their agenda say, which is always against God. Always. Now, one time they did something that Hashem loves. Everything they do is against Hashem. Why are you giving them the power? 75% of the Jews in America vote Democrats. Do you know what I'm afraid of? That the Jews that fight Trump to get him out of power, all these persecutors in the universities— there is a lot of American Gentiles who love him, and they are not Democrats. The Republican, and it bothers them very much to see these liberal Jews fighting their own president and do everything they can to turn this country to Sodom and Gomorrah. And you know who's gonna pay the price? You and me. When they killed the Jews in Europe, they didn't check if you Democrat or religious or Republican or you hate gays or you love gays, or they didn't check. You're Jewish, I'm gonna kill you. You're quarter Jewish, I'm gonna kill you. Kill you. Doesn't matter. Your father, only Jewish, will kill you. Even though he's not Jewish. Your mother is not Jewish, they kill you. Doesn't matter. Your name is Rosenberg, will kill you. Your name is Miller, will kill you. Your name is Cohen, will kill you. But my mother is Christina. I'm not a Jew. I don't care. You're half a Jew, you're a quarter of a Jew. They went 4 generations back. That's why I said once, the comment that got a lot of people angry at me because they never listen. People don't listen. They listen, they will kick it up and clap with tears. Thank you for saying the truth. You understand? I say that they killed millions of people, but a lot of the people they killed according to the Torah were not Jewish. According to the Torah, maybe they consider themselves Jewish, no problem. And if they kill non-Jews, it's good? It's also just as bad. But us as a nation, even today, if they want to kill all the Jews in America, that's for me. The majority of the people here in America that have Jewish last name are not Jewish. You know it. Every one person that knows statistics from the government, he told me something shocking. He told me all the last name in America Cohen, only 15% of them are Jewish by Torah laws. 85% of people in America that their last name is Cohen are not Jewish. And when they come to you in the office, hi, what's your name? Joe Cohen, right away you assume he's a Jew. He's not a Jew. Judaism, remember what I said before, it's based on the mother. Doesn't matter last name. If your last name is Christopher, you can be a Jew. If your last name is Cohen, you can be a non-Jew. The last name is confusing a lot of people here. Judaism doesn't go by last name. A lot of Jews change their last name. A lot of Jews have non-Jewish names, but they are Jewish from both sides, but they didn't want people to know they're Jewish. And I will finish with a story like this that happened with Karoly Bach. He was a rabbi that wrote all the Ashkenazi songs of the davening that the Ashkenazi sings when they daven. A lot of these melodies come from Karol Bach. He was a rabbi that every week was in different place, flying, flying, flying, giving concerts. One time as he fly to United States, he saw a student, a student Her name is Kathy. Usually Kathy is not a Jewish name, and she didn't look so Jewish. You know, she walks as a student. I didn't think she's Jewish, but she was very nice to me. Can I get you something? Can I help you? Can I get you? Why is she so nice to me? Then he saw she's taking out the Siegel, and she got it. Students in the middle of a flight, David's commencement. We couldn't believe it. When she finished, excuse me, can I ask you a question? Are you Jewish? She said, I want to be. I have a boyfriend, he's Jewish. I want to marry him. I agree to convert because I love Judaism, but his parents don't want me. Rabbi, can you help me? If I'll give you the telephone number, would you be able maybe to convince them to let me marry their son? We love each other very much. Okay, give me the number. Give me your number, I'll call them. I'll call you tomorrow. He called the number. Listen to this story. You cannot believe it. I can't believe this story happened in our lifetime. He called the parents of the guy. Hello, hi, this is Shlomo Carlebach. Hello, how can I help you? I call about your son. Yeah, everything okay? Yeah, everything okay. I was flying the other day, I met Kathy, his girlfriend. She gave me your number. She asked if I can speak to you, maybe we can arrange, you know. So they say, listen, we do not want to hear about it. We are Holocaust survivors. What we went through, we cannot allow our son to marry anyone that is not Jewish from birth. Please, Rabbi, with all due respect, don't waste our time. That's the reason? Because you're Holocaust survivors? Yeah. 'But what did she have to do with the Holocaust, this woman? Why does she have to pay for someone else's crime?' 'Rabbi, we lost trust in these people. Please don't. It's a very painful, sensitive issue. Don't talk to us about this. It's hard to judge people like this, as you know.' He hung up. He called Kathy to tell her that he failed. Her father picked up. 'Is Kathy there?' 'No.' 'Who is this?' 'How can I help you?' 'I got your number, the number of your daughter, from the flight. She asked me to do her a favor, and I'm calling her to tell her that I actually called the parents of the guy.' So the father said to him, 'And probably they said that they're not interested in my daughter, right?' He said, 'Yes.' So he asked him, Yeah, that's the case with them. They are too proud, these people. I want to tell you something, Rabbi, the guy is saying. Do you know that me and my wife are Jewish, but Kathy doesn't know it? What? We are Holocaust survivors. We came to America. She was born. We never told her that we're Jewish because We don't want her to go through what we went through. She thinks she needs to convert, but she is Jewish, but we're never going to tell her that. When Carly Bach saw, there's actually no obstacle here. Two Holocaust survivors and their sons and daughter wants to get married. Looks like a perfect match. I'll get back to you. Call up the other guy. Listen, you're not gonna believe what just happened. I called the parents of Kathy. The father got angry. Out of anger, he confessed to me that they are Jewish and they've been in the Holocaust and survived. Immediately, the father changed his attitude. What? You serious? Wow, that changes everything. She's actually a very nice girl. We have anything against hair, you know. How about I will invite both of you to my hotel room tonight? Let's meet all of us and see how we can progress. Would you come? Yeah, why not? Called up the other guy. Listen, you know, you don't believe it. I called, you know, they realize that you're Jewish, they don't have any problem. Would you come to my hotel room? He hesitated, still his ego hurt. Okay, we will. And they came to his hotel room. As they walked into the room, the two old men, they're all the way, they look at each other and he looked at him and he said to him, Fisher. And he looked at him and he said, Nachman. Is it you, Fishel? Is it you? Is this a dream? Fishel! Nachman! Oh my God, they start to hug each other, crying and crying. And Karoli Bach was very sensitive, so he's crying now. And then they turn to him and they say, We were learning together, we were best friends. I was sure he's dead and he was sure he's dead. And then he said to him, do you remember, Nachman, the day the Nazis came? Before they took us, we shook hands and we swore to each other that if we survive the war, we will do everything we can to marry between our children, that we will become a family. Remember this? And he said, how can I forget? So they couldn't do it, but Hashem did it. He met between the two children, and thanks to God, they found each other. And you want to hear something even better? I saw something like this in my own eyes. I went to give a lecture in Queens, and there was 100 secular guys and girls, and one of them was 20-year-old redhead American girl from Russian descent. She came to me after the lecture. She said, Rabbi, you from the yeshiva in Monsey, maybe you can find me someone serious. To marry, but I want someone that learned Torah all his life. I don't want someone who goes to yeshiva just to learn Torah. I will walk. I said, okay, write down all your information and let's see. 2, 3 months later, I came back to that place again for a lecture, and the husband and wife that organized it, they own the place, it's a kindergarten, they move the chairs. Okay, come to Okay, so now I'm connecting my laptop and the projector, and I speak to the wife of this guy. She sits there. I say, I see that all your friends are here besides the redhead girl. What's with her? She didn't come. She said to me, oh, she just got married a few days ago. Within 2-3 months after she spoke to me, she found a shidduch. So I said, oh, very good news, Baruch Hashem, so quick. Then she asked me, do you want to hear how she got married? I got curious, wouldn't you? Now anyway, I have 5 minutes until I connect all the wires. I'm not sophisticated like Rabbi Wolbe, everything wireless, computerized. I'm a primitive Israeli guy. So I have wires, you know. So I said, anyway, I have 5 more minutes until I turn the projector, set it up. Let me hear the story. I remember it's 100 secular guys and girls who came to hear a lecture by me, Torah and Science, scientific proof that Torah is divine. So as I'm setting up my PowerPoint presentation, she tells me the story. Listen to this story. Story. You're not gonna believe this. She said to me, when she came from Russia with her parents, they were so poor, they did not have a penny in their pocket. They couldn't afford to put her in yeshiva. Yeshiva is hundreds of dollars a month, minimum. So somebody told them there is a Russian organization who raise money from wealthy Russian and help poor Russian. Why don't you go make an application, tell them your daughter needs yeshiva, maybe sponsor. They went there and filled up the papers, and they told him, we'll find your sponsor and we get back to you. Few days later, they called them back, we found your sponsor. Who did they find? A Russian guy from Brooklyn, from Mill Basin. It's a wealthy neighborhood, nice houses. One totally secular Russian Jew. Why would a secular Russian Jew pay hundreds of dollars to a girl that he doesn't know and will never see in his life, that he should go to a yeshiva while his own children go to public school. Don't ask me how, but I guess his conscience bothered him, and he agreed to sponsor her. And she went to yeshiva with the girl that organized the lecture. They're best friends. She said to me now, one time she could buy a lollipop. No buses, she always walked. She couldn't afford a bus, never had money. We had to buy her things. So she said to me, remember last time you're here, she spoke to you about Shidduch? After that, few days later, she went to some library. She's sitting with her homework. One girl came to her, Jewish girl, totally not modest. Short pants, short sleeves, not religious girl. Hi, hi, how are you? What's your name? Nice to meet you. I see very religious skirts like this. She say yes. She said, very nice. I think I have someone for you, for Shidduch. So she looked at her, she said, excuse me, you know, I'm very religious. I want to marry a bachor yeshiva, a guy from yeshiva. She said, exactly, my brother. Your brother? She said, don't worry, my brother became very religious. He went to Ohr Sameach in Monsey. I was learning there for months and months. He came back now to Brooklyn, so religious. He say he only wants very good religious, modest girl, and he loves red hair. You look to me exactly his taste. Why do you care? Let's try. People want to get married. So she said, okay, let's check. Called my rabbi, they did the preparation, they went out on a date. Perfect match. Second date, third, fourth date, few dates, perfect. Now the parents have to go meet each other. The punchline is coming. As they They go into Hill Basin, they walk into the house. Who did they find? The father of this boy is this secular Russian guy that paid tuition for this girl for 16 years, not knowing he's preparing his own daughter-in-law for the future. 7 billion people in the world. If someone comes to you, can you help a Jewish girl to go to yeshiva? Why do I care about him? I don't send my own kids to yeshiva. I care about him? But he did something unbelievable. And Hashem say you never do anything for anyone. Whatever you do good, you do for your own good. Just, you're not getting it. There's no such thing to do for others. What you do for others, you do for yourself and for your children. Guarantee! For you! Only for you! Because with or without you, I will help that guy. You just have now a test. Will you do it or not? And if you will, don't worry, you'll get the reward for it more than you can imagine. Just give it some time. He was staying 16 years, every month hundreds of dollars, a lot of money. And one day Hashem gave the girl that he actually created to become his daughter. In the world of 7 billion people, what are the odds? So I asked that— now everybody listens now to the way she tells me the story. So I asked them, you still need proof that there is a God? They said, no, no. Everybody was shocked. No, no, we don't need proofs. I'll give it to you anyway. I would like to thank Rabbi Wolbe and his wonderful wife and his brother and for the Torch organization, for all these wonderful people who came here tonight and had the patience to hear me. So I would like to thank you. I only had a few books left for my trip to Vegas, only few, maybe 8 of them left. Anyone would like to purchase them, jump in. I still I have just a few USBs left. Actually, not really left in your house, but that's okay. You can go on my website, divineinformation.com. My book is a life-changing book. Impossible that a person will read it and stay secular. Impossible. There is no, no choice but to make teshuvah. So anyone you know that you care about, you want to save his soul, make sure to buy him a gift. A gift to give him this book. Make sure he reads it. Pay him for his time even to read it, and you'll see the impact it's going to make on you. Also, the USB has 2,500 hours of lecture. You plug it in your car and you have Torah for 2 years. Thank you very much. Bye-bye. Thank you very much.
