Rabbi Moshe Haber Orchot Yashar: The Inner Gaze: Cultivating Fear of Heaven in Private 4.12.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  We've been going through Heineken Esky's book and
• 0:06
  different items and ideas to help help a person become a
• 0:10
  complete person and develop and grow.
• 0:13
  So he goes to the latest Alephit.
• 0:16
  We spent some time on Henuk. That was a point in one where
• 0:19
  discipline became a major role and role model became a very
• 0:23
  significant component. And Shalom in the home was a key
• 0:27
  thing in Henuk. Then he has the letter Ted
• 0:31
  letter Ted this tower ah that's dealing with McVeigh for men.
• 0:35
  Women will skip that one. I'm going out to you.
• 0:38
  What's the letter youth? You're out head fear.
• 0:44
  Fear is sin or you're out Shamayim as will play out.
• 0:48
  So the question very simply, before we delve into it, is how
• 0:52
  significant is you're out, Shamayan, this idea of fear as a
• 0:57
  component to making a Jew a wholesome, complete Jew, how
• 1:01
  important is it? Well, we know that when we talk
• 1:03
  about people, I've said this before, when they talk about,
• 1:06
  they say so and so. I remember in the old days you
• 1:08
  say so and so. He's got a shamayim.
• 1:12
  He has fear of heaven. That's his description.
• 1:14
  He's a good guy. He has yachamayim as they
• 1:17
  describe him. They don't talk about his
• 1:18
  details of what he does and what laws he keeps.
• 1:21
  It doesn't keep where he's holding your religion.
• 1:24
  He has yachamayim. It's a classic way you describe
• 1:26
  a person, and that's how we describe people.
• 1:29
  But why is it and how important is it in the makeup of a Jew?
• 1:34
  The answer we'll see from sources is that this idea of
• 1:37
  fear, even though we are very much a proponent of love and we
• 1:42
  always talk about havat Hashem, loving Hashem, appreciating
• 1:46
  Hashem did for me, so to speak, giving back and showing hakarata
• 1:50
  talk to Hashem. We always put a big emphasis on
• 1:52
  that. And because God took care of
• 1:54
  you, you give back, you serve him.
• 1:59
  The idea of fear, which is a fear not based on what Hashem
• 2:05
  did for me, but rather based on what Hashem can do, the power,
• 2:11
  the control, the might of Hashem.
• 2:14
  That is very important as a Jew. If we only had the other kind,
• 2:20
  if all that we had was Hashem loves me, so I'm going to serve
• 2:24
  him and I'm going to be a good Jew.
• 2:26
  We'll do our best, we'll try, we'll feel motivated, but
• 2:30
  there'll be a major gap. And this gap is the one that
• 2:33
  fear fills. What is that gap?
• 2:36
  What is the purpose of fear? So the idea is, is that you have
• 2:40
  so many things that you do in private, so many things that you
• 2:44
  do alone, right? So many things that you do that
• 2:49
  no one else is seeing. All those areas of life, the
• 2:54
  fact that you love Hashem, in fact, do you want to be a good
• 2:57
  Jew? That will not make you into a
• 3:00
  good person, will not make you succeed in those areas.
• 3:03
  Yak shamayim. The fear of heaven makes you a
• 3:07
  whole person and makes you succeed and do good.
• 3:11
  Even in private. What's the idea?
• 3:13
  Because if it's based on love and I'm sorry, I'm excited, I
• 3:16
  serve Hashem now. If I'm in private, I'm not in
• 3:19
  the mood, I'm not doing well, someone insulted me, someone got
• 3:23
  me upset, something's getting me nervous and I'm alone.
• 3:28
  What's going to stop me from acting the wrong way?
• 3:30
  What's going to stop me from doing the wrong thing?
• 3:33
  If I can be dishonest and no one's going to catch me, what's
• 3:37
  going to stop me from doing something dishonest?
• 3:40
  The idea of fear is that fear fills in all those gaps.
• 3:45
  We don't like talking about fear.
• 3:46
  We don't like the idea of being afraid.
• 3:48
  We want it to be very simple. Hashem loves me, I love him.
• 3:52
  Well, great. I'm therefore going to serve
• 3:54
  him. That does not do anything for
• 3:56
  all those situations that a person has.
• 3:58
  And you know what? The reality is that a complete
• 4:02
  Jew is more important when he is in private than it is when he is
• 4:07
  in public. That's the reality.
• 4:09
  Yeah, we mentioned yesterday in one of the classes is that we
• 4:12
  spoke about the cashew or the lack of cashew of the Khazir,
• 4:18
  the pig. The pig is not kosher.
• 4:21
  It has one of the two signs that you need to have the cashew.
• 4:25
  One of the two signs for an animal has to have split hooves
• 4:29
  and chew its cut. The pig has those split hooves,
• 4:35
  but it doesn't chew its cut. It has the external sign, it
• 4:39
  doesn't have the internal sign, and the Torah says about it that
• 4:43
  it's not kosher. So the question is asked.
• 4:46
  You told me two signs that you need to have.
• 4:49
  The pig only has one. Why would the Torah have to
• 4:52
  double down and tell me the pig which has one sign isn't kosher?
• 4:56
  You told me the 2 signs. It doesn't check both boxes,
• 4:59
  it's out. Why do you need to tell me that
• 5:03
  one has one sign, not the other sign?
• 5:04
  It's not kosher. If it doesn't have both signs,
• 5:08
  it's out. Goodbye.
• 5:10
  That's a solid question and the answer is that what I was
• 5:14
  telling you that once the pig is something that has an external
• 5:19
  sign but doesn't have an internal internal one, It has an
• 5:23
  external semen of cashew, but it doesn't have the hidden one.
• 5:27
  And not only is it lacking in cashew, it's double worse.
• 5:32
  It's extra worse because when it has the external without the
• 5:36
  internal, it has the ritona without the penny meat.
• 5:40
  It's not just lacking in cashew. It has an extra problem because
• 5:45
  if a person is only good publicly and not good privately,
• 5:50
  a person's only good out there and not good inside, that person
• 5:54
  is a fake. He's a phony and he's nothing.
• 5:58
  And that's when you got shaman comes in, because if a person
• 6:01
  doesn't have, you got shaman. And what's going to happen is
• 6:04
  when they're in private, they can use any language they want.
• 6:07
  They're going to say anything they want.
• 6:09
  They're going to do anything they want because internally
• 6:12
  inside, they have no sign of kashut because they have nothing
• 6:17
  guiding them. The reason that you're out,
• 6:19
  Jemima is such a key for a Jew is because it's what guides you
• 6:23
  in life. It's what helps you become a
• 6:25
  whole Jew, what gets you to work on your character.
• 6:29
  Only you got Jemima, nothing else.
• 6:31
  What gets you to work on your marriage, really?
• 6:33
  Maybe you want to have Shalom in the home, but at a deeper level
• 6:36
  you get out your mind the fear of heaven.
• 6:39
  The fact that I want to make Hashem happy is what gets me in
• 6:43
  my home to be a good person. There's so many gaps in life.
• 6:48
  There are people out there who can be publicly the greatest
• 6:52
  people. Privately we know by now they're
• 6:55
  rough. Privately they're a problem.
• 6:58
  How's that possible? How's it humanly possible that a
• 7:01
  Jew can be both? He can be publicly so good and
• 7:04
  probably so bad. Answer is he's just trying to
• 7:07
  impress and he doesn't have any fear, enough fear of heaven.
• 7:12
  And that's the gap that we want to fill.
• 7:14
  And that's the purpose. You got your mind.
• 7:16
  Follow on with me an idea. Good.
• 7:19
  Now where's the sources? This is so important.
• 7:22
  So the basuk says it's a Basuka, says the words yurat Hashem
• 7:28
  hiyotzaro. The Yurav Hashem is a storage
• 7:32
  house. What does that mean?
• 7:34
  That means that a person can load up with Torah knowledge,
• 7:40
  they can load up with good deeds, they can load up with
• 7:44
  everything. If they don't have hiracha mine,
• 7:47
  they have nowhere to store everything that they've done.
• 7:53
  And what's going to happen? It's all going to spoil and all
• 7:56
  rot. If a person, there's a lot of
• 7:59
  good things out there without the storage house, he can't hold
• 8:04
  it, he can't retain it, he doesn't retain the reward, and
• 8:09
  it all rots. That's the theme of telling me
• 8:12
  that shaman is the outside. In fact, there's a major, huge
• 8:16
  dispute and debate over 100 years ago and the yeshiva
• 8:21
  system, always a dispute. Yeshiva, he learned all day.
• 8:26
  That's the idea, learned all day.
• 8:28
  Where was the debate then? Do you spend a few minutes a day
• 8:34
  on what they call Musada? Do you spend a few minutes a day
• 8:39
  on working on yourself, working on your not shyam?
• 8:42
  This is the big debate, all right.
• 8:45
  And there were some people who went 100% all day, do this all
• 8:49
  day. You don't Shyam all day.
• 8:51
  They said that's too dangerous. Other people, many people who
• 8:53
  said learn all day, don't do any of this thought and analysis.
• 8:58
  You know some I am. They said that was really
• 9:01
  disputed. Is that a good idea to only
• 9:04
  learn? Or is it a good idea to spend a
• 9:06
  few minutes on your actual mind? Where'd they settle?
• 9:11
  They settled on the idea. Majority of your day you learn
• 9:14
  your Mara, you learn Hala Ha, you learn fact, you're taking
• 9:18
  the facts and that's it. But you spend a few minutes on
• 9:22
  this. Why do you spend a few minutes
• 9:24
  on this? Because if the person stockpiles
• 9:28
  all the Tara that he learns without developing himself as a
• 9:32
  good person, it's all all the Tara knowledge, all the reward
• 9:35
  of the Tara knowledge, as they say, it's all going to rot.
• 9:39
  It's all going to spoil. It's all going to go away for
• 9:41
  the exact same reason. Unless you have that storage
• 9:44
  house, unless you have that person, unless you have that
• 9:47
  person who's good and private and everything that he knows and
• 9:51
  all the reward that he's building is all going to go
• 9:52
  away. And This is why only a few
• 9:56
  minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, the theme is you just need it.
• 10:01
  The way they say is that they just need to put a little
• 10:04
  something to hold it. If you think about it, this idea
• 10:07
  of Yarachamayim does not need to be something that you're working
• 10:12
  on all day long. It just needs to be something
• 10:15
  that you're reminded about. Yarachamayim is something that
• 10:17
  you're born with in a sense. You grow up in your parents
• 10:21
  house. There are many people in this
• 10:22
  community who grew up without much religion at all, right?
• 10:27
  And they grew one, they grew one.
• 10:28
  They grew those people. No one realized it.
• 10:31
  They hide you, not your mind. They had a clear recognition of
• 10:34
  Hashem. How do you know there were
• 10:36
  certain things? They would never do certain
• 10:38
  things, even though they're religious.
• 10:40
  They would never do certain things wrong.
• 10:42
  Why? Their parents, based on Hashem,
• 10:45
  wouldn't allow it, said how were they religious?
• 10:48
  Because they just didn't have the norms that we have today.
• 10:51
  They didn't have the guidelines that we have today.
• 10:53
  That is an innate thing inside of you, inborn thing inside of
• 10:57
  you, called your hashemi. That's why all you need is a few
• 11:00
  minutes a day just to remind you, just to reflect in the fact
• 11:04
  that Hashem exists. I don't want to mess around.
• 11:07
  I want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing in the
• 11:09
  eyes of Hashem, and that's all. But if you remove those few
• 11:14
  minutes, if you remove this core concept, and a person can spend
• 11:19
  their entire life doing many good deeds without the
• 11:22
  recognition of Hashem's existence and Hashem's power and
• 11:26
  my awe and fear of God, without that recognition, all my good
• 11:30
  deeds will be automatically externally based.
• 11:34
  They'll be all for the public and they will be all to get
• 11:37
  reward. And none of it would be to make
• 11:40
  me a better person. The only way I'm able to develop
• 11:42
  into a better person is if I have inside of me this element
• 11:47
  as well. Do we see this point as clear?
• 11:49
  Firstly, we see the point as clear and you think about your
• 11:52
  own life. I know there's privately there
• 11:54
  are many people who do things publicly it's very impressive
• 11:59
  and privately they're not great people.
• 12:02
  How does it make any sense? How does it even humanly
• 12:03
  possible to have such a person out there?
• 12:06
  He's giving up his money, he's giving up his time, he's giving
• 12:09
  up his his effort for other people.
• 12:12
  He's not a good person. Doesn't doesn't make sense.
• 12:15
  It does if you realize that without you out your mind, that
• 12:20
  person might be doing what he's doing for the public sake for
• 12:24
  for a name, maybe to make himself even feel good, but he's
• 12:27
  still not doing it for its core reason.
• 12:29
  You need the recognition that Hashem exists.
• 12:32
  You need that fear of God's existence to fill those gaps.
• 12:36
  The reality is no matter how much time you spend in the
• 12:39
  public eye, no matter how much time there are cameras all over
• 12:43
  us and all that, the reality is you are and I am more judge.
• 12:49
  Judge more on what we do in private and we are defined more
• 12:54
  of what we do in private and we always do in public.
• 12:57
  You could spend four or five hours a day, maybe even 10 hours
• 13:00
  a day with other people and you still are define but what you
• 13:05
  are in private because that is the real you, what you are in
• 13:09
  your home or you are with your children, or you are with your
• 13:11
  spouse, or you are in the office, or you are in a private
• 13:15
  business dealing, or you are when you're away.
• 13:18
  All those moments of privacy are who you are, not the other way
• 13:22
  around. You have a person, he goes away
• 13:25
  twice a year, all right, You would say that's not him, that's
• 13:29
  his off time. No, that's him, how he acts then
• 13:33
  if he praised them, if he's a good person, then if he keeps
• 13:38
  kosher, then that is him. Why?
• 13:41
  Because that's where he's alone. That's where you got gemayim
• 13:44
  comes in, and that's where you define because you got gemayim
• 13:48
  is the idea. It's me and God, we're
• 13:51
  one-on-one, so it's me and him. Or what does he see in me?
• 13:55
  That's the only question you have to ask yourself.
• 13:57
  Everything else is for the public.
• 13:59
  You can have people, sadly, who go to shul all the time, yet you
• 14:03
  don't know where they really are.
• 14:05
  It's the weird thing. You got people who give a lot of
• 14:08
  charity still don't know where they are, people who publicly
• 14:12
  make a very big deal in different areas and you don't
• 14:14
  know them at all. And it's a strange phenomenon.
• 14:18
  And you notice that, you know, when people do research when
• 14:20
  they're marrying off their children and try to find out and
• 14:22
  they get sometimes very surprised, I guess sometimes
• 14:25
  very, you know, shocked one way or the other.
• 14:27
  And that's where you're not shaman steps in and you need it
• 14:30
  to be a focal point of your home and yourself and your mind,
• 14:34
  which is how am I in private? I've said this a million times.
• 14:39
  You could have a person that gives a lot of time to other
• 14:41
  people, but you don't give time to his children.
• 14:44
  Doesn't make any sense. Doesn't make any sense.
• 14:47
  A guy who's willing to be on the phone for an hour with someone
• 14:50
  in need, but he won't give his children 5 minutes.
• 14:53
  This is a phenomenon, it's a reality.
• 14:55
  I've lived it, I know it. How is that possible?
• 14:58
  The answer is because the public thing is something he has to do,
• 15:03
  he wants to do, he feels good about doing, but that's not the
• 15:06
  core you. The core you is what you do when
• 15:09
  you have to do it, and it's the right thing to do.
• 15:11
  That is the core you. It's such a surprising fact that
• 15:15
  you are defined more by your core self than you are by all
• 15:20
  these things. And that's why it's one of the
• 15:22
  main components of making up with you.
• 15:24
  Do you have without your mind And we have a person who does
• 15:28
  one business dealing that's off Why?
• 15:30
  Because it was private. No one notice and that makes him
• 15:33
  aware and that can actually really define this is the idea.
• 15:36
  There's a theme all right, and a person has to raise their
• 15:40
  children and their family with this exact mindset.
• 15:43
  So you go back to the Khazir. You come back to that pig.
• 15:47
  Why do we mention that he's on kosher?
• 15:50
  He wants you to know he's not just lacking in construed
• 15:54
  because he's missing 1 Simon. He's extra on kosher.
• 15:57
  He's actually unconscious because he's pushing the public
• 16:00
  thing and he's hiding the private thing, as you told me
• 16:03
  yesterday, the way the pig does. He lies down on his feet and he
• 16:06
  waves his feet and kicks out his feet right, saying look at my
• 16:09
  signs, I'm kosher. It's a double sketch because
• 16:13
  he's trying to show people what he is.
• 16:16
  And yet inside he's a fake and he's a phony.
• 16:20
  We all have to be aware that this is an issue that used to
• 16:22
  exist back then. The issue is much more prevalent
• 16:26
  today. Why?
• 16:27
  Because if you lived in a village somewhere, some quiet
• 16:30
  Jewish community in the old days, right, you didn't get so
• 16:33
  much accolades for being, for learning.
• 16:36
  You didn't get so much accolades for being a big charitable
• 16:39
  person. You didn't get such credit for
• 16:41
  things. Today, your good deeds, your
• 16:45
  public good name can give you so much credit.
• 16:48
  Can you make you such a big deal out there and therefore feeds
• 16:53
  this animal? Here's the craziest fact that
• 16:55
  I've noticed I mentioned yesterday.
• 16:57
  The craziest fact. If a person is not careful in
• 17:01
  this area and he doesn't address and think about what am I in
• 17:05
  private? How am I alone in my family if
• 17:08
  he doesn't make sure that his insides reflect evenly to what
• 17:14
  he is outside. He's not careful about this and
• 17:17
  all he does all day long is feed this animal of the outside.
• 17:21
  It turns out not only, you know, we have a rule.
• 17:25
  MI talk shalal ishma baal isma. What does that rule mean?
• 17:31
  You start off you doing mitzvah. You do it for the wrong reason,
• 17:35
  right? If I tell you, you give $1000
• 17:39
  charity for poor people, it's going to make you have a great
• 17:43
  day, right? You're doing it not really for
• 17:46
  the right, right reason. But how does it work?
• 17:50
  We talk shalalal isma. Eventually you do it for the
• 17:52
  right reason. Fine, I got you.
• 17:55
  That's a rule across the board. If you, if I tell you, come
• 17:57
  learn today for class and when you learn today, everything's
• 18:01
  going to go better in business this week.
• 18:03
  OK, you're doing it for the wrong reason, but eventually we
• 18:06
  feel you'll come around and you'll Start learning for the
• 18:09
  right reason. That's a concept.
• 18:10
  Of course, the total surprising fact that I noticed and I think
• 18:15
  I have sources to it, but it's definitely true.
• 18:17
  If a person does something for the purpose of accolades, of
• 18:23
  publicity, of people knowing the story of people being impressed
• 18:26
  by them, this rule of Mitoch Shaluchma Balashma doesn't
• 18:32
  happen. You end up remaining forever,
• 18:36
  his entire life. He remains a person who's only
• 18:40
  shiny on the outside, is hollow inside.
• 18:43
  And not only does he not become better inside, in fact, the
• 18:47
  reality is he becomes worse when a person is busy with their
• 18:51
  published persona, even if it's a Jewish public persona.
• 18:54
  I want to be known as a good Jew publicly.
• 18:57
  If that's your angle, not only do you not eventually become
• 19:01
  better inside, you become worse because all these things, I
• 19:04
  don't care if it's utilizing the turn off, All these things, all
• 19:08
  these angles can make a person arrogant, angry, frustrated.
• 19:14
  A controller can make a person constantly busy with themselves
• 19:19
  egotistical. One second, he's doing Jewish
• 19:21
  things. He's doing acts of testing.
• 19:23
  No, he's not. He's doing acts, advertising.
• 19:27
  What he's doing all day long is he's advertising.
• 19:30
  He's putting a billboard. That's all he's doing.
• 19:32
  And you have no idea if this person is becoming a good
• 19:34
  person. The only way he's a good person
• 19:36
  is if he does something good in private.
• 19:39
  This is the reality. I have a little recommendation
• 19:42
  always to people who are public people.
• 19:44
  Find one area in your life. Find one area in your life and
• 19:49
  nobody knows the good deed that you do.
• 19:52
  Take one act of reset, one act of reset, and do that silent
• 19:58
  reset every single day or whatever it is.
• 20:01
  Do one thing, something that's private.
• 20:04
  If you're a learner and you learn publicly, have one area of
• 20:07
  your learning that no one knows about, even learning.
• 20:10
  So you learn just for the sake of learning.
• 20:11
  If you're a charitable person, have one charity that you do.
• 20:15
  That's synonymous, right? If you help people in certain
• 20:18
  areas. Do something that gets no
• 20:20
  credit. The truth of the matter is most
• 20:22
  of the people who are involved in the community work long
• 20:25
  enough. The credit that they get out
• 20:27
  there is only a small percentage.
• 20:29
  They have so much Algeria and headaches and issues that they
• 20:33
  get no credit for. It usually works itself out, but
• 20:36
  you need it because if you're a public person only, I mean, if
• 20:39
  you're a person that's only thinking about what people think
• 20:41
  about me, you end up becoming a hollow person and feed the
• 20:45
  animal instead. You want to become a wholesome
• 20:47
  person guy so. So if you're marrying a child
• 20:50
  and you want to know what the other side is like, there's no
• 20:53
  way you can find out. It's all you can see is the
• 20:55
  public. Yeah, yeah, good.
• 20:57
  You need some real research, correct?
• 20:59
  No. You're not worried about people
• 21:00
  being a full outright disaster. Well, let's just say, because
• 21:03
  usually that that surface is somewhere.
• 21:05
  But yeah, you need the research because there are families,
• 21:07
  there are people who display a certain look, and it turns out
• 21:11
  they're certainly really off. You need to find out the real
• 21:16
  research. You know, we don't do any
• 21:17
  community research that's not done so much 'cause we feel like
• 21:20
  we know their families. You know, you have to follow.
• 21:23
  That's Kazim. They marry a guy from Chicago,
• 21:26
  marries a girl from LA, right? They don't know anything about
• 21:29
  them. I mean, they thought of digging.
• 21:31
  They don't dig. They don't just dig.
• 21:32
  They dig like they're digging to China.
• 21:35
  They dig unbelievable. They ask you every single
• 21:38
  question. There used to be a joke in the
• 21:40
  SHIELD world, you know, I'm sure you heard the line.
• 21:43
  Are they stalkers or scrapers? What is that?
• 21:47
  What's the stacker or scraper? What's the difference?
• 21:50
  You know what at least? How do they clean up the dishes
• 21:52
  on a Friday night table? They stack them up or they
• 21:55
  scrape them off the table. I wasn't you do scrape off the
• 21:59
  table, you stack them up. How's the either what?
• 22:04
  What's the difference? Personally, I think scraping is
• 22:12
  very high, but there are people who do scraping.
• 22:15
  What's scraping by the table and clean it off into the garbage,
• 22:18
  right off the table into the garbage, right?
• 22:21
  This is the thing. A stacker takes it all out into
• 22:25
  the kitchen and heels it there, right?
• 22:27
  So now if your daughter this is they think if your daughter is
• 22:30
  getting married and she's marrying her family or better
• 22:33
  yet, your son is getting married and marrying her family, They're
• 22:36
  used to a classy home like yours with a stack.
• 22:39
  Take it out, stack and marry a family that's scrapers.
• 22:42
  Oh good. All right, so they really will
• 22:44
  do this research. You never heard of this?
• 22:51
  That's it stackers of scrapers, but isn't in the case they
• 22:54
  wanted to wheel. That's that just indicates how
• 22:56
  like, you know, taking the plates, not necessarily this is
• 22:59
  real stacking. The point is point is they dig
• 23:04
  deep. That's the point.
• 23:05
  And the reality is you need to dig deep.
• 23:08
  That's a very nice question. Exactly right.
• 23:12
  You have to dig deep and that's if the point is is that a person
• 23:15
  really is defined by what they are.
• 23:18
  Insight. Say it, say it again.
• 23:24
  All right, very good. So this is really the theme
• 23:29
  overall. The pig is considered tamer.
• 23:31
  The gaze is considered tamer because he carries extra tamer
• 23:35
  because he carries his trait and the people.
• 23:39
  Throughout the course of Jewish history, there actually have
• 23:41
  been people just in the same theme just delivered off.
• 23:45
  There have been people who have led Jewish communities astray.
• 23:49
  There have been such people, terrible people who have led
• 23:53
  Jewish communities astray. What were these people?
• 23:55
  These are people who are very gifted publicly, I'm talking
• 23:59
  about they do a lot of Twitter. Publicly, they are very well
• 24:04
  known to be impressive people, but privately they had nothing.
• 24:08
  I'll give you a classic example. The individual's name was Shop
• 24:11
  Site 3. Was that shop site 3?
• 24:14
  Shop site 3 was a person who faked himself as Mashiach.
• 24:19
  All right, fake Mashiach. It's no jokes.
• 24:24
  This man literally took the entire big class of Jewish
• 24:29
  people by storm in Turkey. Major faction of Amiyazel
• 24:36
  believed he was Mashiach. You've heard of this?
• 24:40
  How far did it go? There's a book about it, for
• 24:42
  sure, but a lot of parts of Jewish history are changed to
• 24:46
  the Shop That Sea. For example, you ever notice in
• 24:49
  the city during the Friday night we mentioned we do the Hado D?
• 24:53
  We skip out a bunch of lines and they hate naughty in these
• 24:57
  words. That's because we don't want to
• 24:59
  talk about Mashiach too much, because we don't want to reflect
• 25:03
  this idea of being busy with Mashiach.
• 25:05
  Give me the shop that see people work.
• 25:07
  We're afraid of it. We don't want to talk about
• 25:09
  Shia. Don't say that shammies,
• 25:12
  Israelis, Egyptians, they say, but hella, we don't say for this
• 25:16
  reason. And we have a lot of areas and
• 25:18
  there were even great rabbis who bored in partially and did a
• 25:22
  shop tights fee movement. This man claimed that he was a
• 25:26
  prophet. He claimed that he had signs.
• 25:28
  He was very, very gifted and extremely knowledgeable,
• 25:32
  Extremely knowledgeable. How the story end?
• 25:35
  How the story of shop that's VM. He converted.
• 25:38
  No, the Sultan of the time, I think it was a Sultan, caught
• 25:44
  him. This man is a big movement in
• 25:46
  the Jewish people. Captured him, told him he's a
• 25:50
  convert or die. Now what do you do?
• 25:53
  Convert into Islam? Goodbye, Charlie.
• 25:56
  The whole thing's over. The man who claimed to be
• 25:59
  Mashiach. And he had the whole big faction
• 26:02
  of the Jewish people. I'm talking about major rabbis.
• 26:05
  Rabbis like the Bach, other rabbis didn't give their opinion
• 26:09
  because they weren't sure yet. That's how much I think it was
• 26:12
  the Bach. That's how much it was a debate
• 26:14
  about a shop that see we're talking about a great very big
• 26:17
  sketch and yet he want to dine. You know how many people we've
• 26:22
  had in our history who died for the sake of Hashem?
• 26:26
  Not many people ultimate test. You know how many people willing
• 26:29
  to give up their life for Hashem's sake on this May with
• 26:34
  one little pressure caved. Why?
• 26:37
  Publicly he's everything. Publicly, Tamir Hakam Gadol gaon
• 26:45
  Navi leader. Mashiah.
• 26:48
  No, Mashiah needs to be not a good person.
• 26:50
  Mashiah needs to be. Mashiah has to check every box.
• 26:53
  This man publicly check every box.
• 26:56
  Insight. Check none.
• 26:59
  Take zero. And the first moment in a little
• 27:02
  heat and little pressure, he caved.
• 27:04
  And it sounds so extreme, but it plays into the system very
• 27:07
  clearly. You want to raise your family
• 27:09
  and raise yourself on what am I in private?
• 27:13
  If in private, when something goes wrong, I flip out.
• 27:17
  When I'm dealing with one other person, I RIP them, literally
• 27:21
  just RIP them to shreds. There's no ones around me.
• 27:24
  I don't have the ability to. When I am alone, I won't do
• 27:27
  something that's so appropriate. Or when it's a question of kind
• 27:29
  of shoot that no one's seeing, I'm not so kosher.
• 27:33
  My language is just me and someone else who doesn't really
• 27:35
  know anything and not connected to the community.
• 27:37
  I'll use any language, right? I'll travel somewhere not so
• 27:40
  good because no one's around. All these things in private,
• 27:44
  those are a reflection of a lack of you, not your mind.
• 27:47
  But if you're inside reflects you're outside.
• 27:50
  And you can say, I want people to see how I have my house.
• 27:53
  I want people to see how I deal with my office.
• 27:55
  Sure, there's pressure, of course there's frustration, of
• 27:58
  course there's even anger, but I still, I keep my cool.
• 28:02
  I watch myself. I'm conscious of the fact that I
• 28:04
  Shim is always looking at me at all times.
• 28:08
  I have that sense, you know, nowadays, nowadays whenever
• 28:13
  there's a crime scene, they have the camera, right?
• 28:17
  They pretty much can catch anything.
• 28:19
  And that for all of us gives us a little bit of a sense of I'm a
• 28:23
  little more careful in the streets than I used to be,
• 28:26
  right? I'm a little careful even on our
• 28:27
  front porch than I used to be because they can see pretty
• 28:31
  much. You can see almost anything.
• 28:32
  If that's your mindset, that should be a little deeper and
• 28:35
  say how a shem can see past your front porch, into your window,
• 28:38
  into your house, into your bedroom, into your office, into
• 28:42
  wherever you are into your mind. And if that's how you think, you
• 28:45
  will become a wholesome Jew. So do we like fear?
• 28:48
  We're not a fan of fear. The world is a world of love.
• 28:52
  We love love, but fear plays a major component is it makes you
• 28:56
  into wholesome Jew. And yes, the defining component
• 28:59
  of a great Jew is someone who has Yachamayan.
• 29:04
  That is that person is great inside the same way is outside.
• 29:08
  Let's start with this, all right.
