Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just-Glorifying Mitzvot: Beauty and Simplicity in Jewish Practice 10.28.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  Very important question that he asked on the topic.
• 0:03
  We started in mid yesterday, which was kavura mitzvah.
• 0:06
  Kavura mitzvah means is in Yana major in Yan to glorify mitzvah.
• 0:11
  We said spend a lot of money out of love and it's broke, built a
• 0:14
  beautiful shoe and we don't involve in some of the debates
• 0:18
  that come out based on those. So some people who are ahead and
• 0:21
  says it's follows, some people might ask, let's look at these
• 0:26
  words. The Rabbi's talk about this all
• 0:30
  over Hazal all over their sources.
• 0:33
  This concept of cavora mitzvah, she ain't die.
• 0:36
  It's not enough about sota mitzvah Levat simply perform.
• 0:39
  It's far Elisha sarika lehabdahladra.
• 0:43
  A person needs to do more than just basic performance of
• 0:47
  mitzvah. You need to honor it and you
• 0:49
  need to beautifier. That's the concept, although at
• 0:52
  sea and you need to take away the mindset Mamiche lahaquila
• 0:57
  lots more yamar to go against the mindset.
• 0:59
  When someone says I just do what I have to do, let me do the
• 1:03
  minimum, let me do the basics, buy the filling, let me buy the
• 1:05
  most. Who's the guy that sells the
• 1:07
  most simple pair of the filling? Let me buy those.
• 1:10
  I'm a simple man. I buy a simple to filling.
• 1:13
  I buy a simple mezuzah. I buy basic sheet, basic toilet.
• 1:18
  The shoe shoe look nothing better than a square box, right?
• 1:22
  What is it called a white box? Why do we need to have more?
• 1:25
  Why does it need to be beautiful?
• 1:26
  You can play both sides. Yesterday we addressed the fact
• 1:29
  that sometimes people take these things to an extreme and it's
• 1:33
  for other reasons That's a problem in itself.
• 1:35
  But here he's telling you, people might ask a Jew might
• 1:39
  say, we think simply, we're supposed to, you know, live
• 1:43
  simply. What's this deal on making a big
• 1:46
  deal out of it. So it and trying to spend a lot
• 1:47
  of money on them or be very busy with the beauty of it.
• 1:50
  We don't care about material. We don't care about material
• 1:53
  things. Why is it the heck?
• 1:55
  How in there gold? Why should your shoe look?
• 1:58
  So it's a fair question. You know, it's a, it's a good
• 2:00
  question because it isn't about the person's mindset.
• 2:05
  So simple person comes into a room that just has four walls
• 2:09
  and he's so excited, meaning even the if you want to call it
• 2:13
  simple, it's all right. He's so excited to do the
• 2:16
  mitzvah. It's not.
• 2:18
  I think it only takes the guy who's maybe a little far removes
• 2:25
  so I have to spend more money. That's the question.
• 2:28
  That's exactly the mindset. Is the for a different type of
• 2:30
  person? So the mindset of the question
• 2:31
  is exactly that you do what you think.
• 2:33
  Simply, we try to you know, we don't.
• 2:35
  We look at all big homes and we say we don't care, but the job
• 2:39
  cause say it doesn't matter. So you say to yourself, I don't
• 2:41
  think a sham cares, right, Unless I check out the a sham
• 2:44
  cares and I don't think I shouldn't be busy with material.
• 2:47
  What should I show you? Busy.
• 2:48
  Like I remember, for example, my father, I love Shalom looking at
• 2:53
  the door knobs of all the shoes door knobs remember seeing a bag
• 2:56
  is when they the processor not moving at all.
• 2:59
  And I remember a bag from where it was in modern interior one of
• 3:02
  these places. What's the other expensive door
• 3:04
  knob place? Yeah, exactly the bag from that
• 3:07
  place and he's looking at door knobs and I think myself, I
• 3:09
  follow the door knobs. He look at his house.
• 3:11
  He don't care. He never cared.
• 3:13
  He could care less about his house and deals.
• 3:15
  I I surprised that's really this question.
• 3:17
  Shouldn't that mindset he just mentioned be true?
• 3:20
  We should always remain simple and we shouldn't really move
• 3:22
  into materialistic mindsets. Look what he says.
• 3:25
  Remember where we used to play? Yes, I remember.
• 3:27
  Because the purse is. Your jacket, dad, you might say
• 3:35
  that Cavo. These types of glorification
• 3:38
  only for the people who care about heaven.
• 3:42
  Those better who God who doesn't heaven.
• 3:45
  Nothing This God doesn't care about nothing.
• 3:48
  This God is above material. You think God cares about gold
• 3:54
  over silver than material right? But Kevin mitzvah.
• 4:00
  And if you're doing a mitzvah with the pure mind, that's
• 4:05
  enough. That should be enough.
• 4:07
  Omnam. However, the reality is it's
• 4:10
  clear from stalking the bed that may dash and go all the way down
• 4:13
  high. I'm a tusha Don ba de ho nikra
• 4:16
  El Hakawoud. It's a very difficult monitor.
• 4:19
  He's about to tell us one that requires a lot of delicate
• 4:23
  thinking, and that is God is referred to as the God of honor,
• 4:28
  right? We call it the animea kavod.
• 4:31
  We consider Hashem giving kavod kavod, all these things.
• 4:35
  God is the God of honor, and therefore vanu Kaya beem le
• 4:39
  cabdo, we are required to respect him and to give him
• 4:43
  honor. Avabi shena sedini le cabdino.
• 4:47
  Even though Hashem doesn't need our honor, and our honor that we
• 4:53
  give Hashem doesn't matter. Gold doesn't make a difference
• 4:55
  over silver. Hashem is considered the God of
• 4:58
  honor, He says, and therefore you're obligated to do
• 5:01
  something. And it doesn't explain exactly.
• 5:04
  Let's see. He doesn't explain exactly why
• 5:06
  yet we have to play this out on our heads.
• 5:08
  He asked on the bottom. They asked another question I
• 5:10
  was looking before. Humility is the number one
• 5:13
  trait, right? And we follow Hashem in all our
• 5:18
  character laws. We're supposed to be like
• 5:20
  Hashem. So that shouldn't mean that God
• 5:22
  should be seen as a humble existence in a sense, and
• 5:25
  therefore it should mean that we should not be building Hashem up
• 5:29
  with physical things. And it's all makes sense to be
• 5:33
  true, but all false. And that is it is one area of
• 5:39
  the breakaway from that mindset. Hashem is cavort.
• 5:41
  I can even say these words, Hashem is Gava, right?
• 5:47
  Hashem is, I shouldn't say Horty, it's the wrong word.
• 5:50
  But Hashem is a very large existence.
• 5:53
  So therefore we're not supposed to try to use our humility on
• 5:58
  our good character. Try to adopt that Hashem.
• 6:01
  Because what you're doing, if you do that is you're taking God
• 6:03
  down. Let's play it out.
• 6:04
  Let's go through steps regarding humility first, right?
• 6:08
  Humility. If it means me, it means I'm
• 6:11
  left. I, I just left.
• 6:13
  I'm supposed to think in my mind I'm not that important.
• 6:16
  I don't exist that much. It doesn't really matter what
• 6:17
  happens to me. That's my own personal e-mail,
• 6:19
  right? That's your humor.
• 6:21
  Is my man correct? You know what it means.
• 6:23
  You don't get done insulted, you don't demand disrespect, you
• 6:27
  don't yell. That's your e-mail.
• 6:29
  Hashem. You can't say that for Hashem,
• 6:31
  because you can't say Hashem doesn't exist.
• 6:33
  So much hashalom. You can't say he doesn't deserve
• 6:36
  to be so present. You can't say that It's the
• 6:39
  opposite with God. God has to exist in everything.
• 6:42
  Dodd could decide on his own if he wants to be humble cops on if
• 6:45
  he wants, but we can't say that about him, right?
• 6:49
  You can only demand humility of yourself.
• 6:51
  You can't demand humility of anyone else and definitely not
• 6:54
  God. Only two exists very very a lot.
• 6:56
  So because I show me, so this and everything we cannot try to
• 7:00
  apply because of the humility action.
• 7:02
  But the head is a person. It's like guy now is in charge
• 7:05
  of helping build the shul. He spends time and focus upon
• 7:08
  his goal. This that it now it overtakes
• 7:14
  like his his mindset. Now he becomes.
• 7:18
  A material, yeah. OK, so our next step is this.
• 7:21
  Also, the rasai. When you're sitting up for a
• 7:23
  rabbi, you're giving total respect.
• 7:24
  You. Yeah, and the same thing.
• 7:26
  There was someone on the siren, very similar.
• 7:28
  So the both of them, let's go on by war.
• 7:30
  First of all, humility out of the question for Hashem for the
• 7:33
  reason we just mentioned. But now what you said, what am I
• 7:36
  doing? Getting involved in material
• 7:37
  things in order to build up service of Hashem, which I'm
• 7:41
  being told to do. So Next up is this, why are you
• 7:44
  doing gold over silver? Why are you doing beautification
• 7:49
  for Hashem? So the idea is, is that we need
• 7:51
  to connect to building up Hashem in our minds.
• 7:56
  We need to in our minds see Hashem as a big deal.
• 8:00
  And because in the physical world that we live in without
• 8:02
  angels, because in the physical world we're living, gold is
• 8:06
  better than silver, right? Larger is better than smaller.
• 8:09
  Because of those existence of facts, we need to apply them
• 8:14
  toward Hashem so that we can see Hashem in a bigger light, Follow
• 8:19
  its foul mind. To build up God, We need to
• 8:22
  build up God. And to try to say that I could
• 8:24
  do without it. I'm not an Angel.
• 8:26
  I live in this physical world. And there even people from what
• 8:29
  should have been to his time lived in this physical world.
• 8:32
  They never got around that. So because of that, all of the
• 8:34
  greatest things in the world should be applied to God.
• 8:37
  Follow me. That brings our respect.
• 8:39
  You're basically materializing respect for Hashem.
• 8:43
  It's a way to see Hashem as a big deal.
• 8:45
  In other words, you're walking into a small tiny stable right?
• 8:49
  It's made out of old wood siding.
• 8:51
  You know, the oldest snatched peoples old wood signing.
• 8:54
  It's got a smell. The it's dim right ripped cop in
• 9:00
  you say the Shakina is here. You say that we have a hard
• 9:03
  time. You know enjoying the presence
• 9:05
  right? You walk into a beautiful shoe
• 9:08
  or something, you can sense it, you can feel it.
• 9:12
  One second, all I'm using is wood and better material and
• 9:17
  using that to see more of God. And the answer is because you
• 9:20
  live in this world where a shopper car is nicer than a
• 9:23
  cheap car and a big house nice because of that.
• 9:27
  Seeing more beautification and applying it to Hashem made this
• 9:31
  makes a sense. Hashem existence more.
• 9:34
  Like a safer Torah cover, right? Exactly from gold the beautiful
• 9:38
  people say wow, that wow, so long as it's applied to God is
• 9:42
  bringing out more of a sense of presence.
• 9:46
  The more presence it applies to God means more presence of
• 9:48
  Hashem. And the issue is that Amy's
• 9:51
  imagining how does that remain, which means we all.
• 9:56
  Even in the shul. Board me.
• 9:57
  Good. Yeah, Take it home.
• 9:58
  Good. Good question.
• 9:59
  So the answer I gave you, my father as an example, is that
• 10:02
  when he went back to my father's house, doornails are falling
• 10:04
  off, even though the shoe door arms, he was very meticulous and
• 10:07
  he's very careful about. That's the answer.
• 10:10
  If you can separate the two, if the guy in his own personal
• 10:13
  life, you know, is a simple guy, he's really got a rent.
• 10:18
  When he built all these beautiful places and these
• 10:20
  people still live in simple homes, great.
• 10:23
  If his own home is something that's also magnificent, he's
• 10:27
  entitled. He'd be well off and start that
• 10:30
  business. But if he's busy with material
• 10:33
  in general and just applying that to the shul, there's not
• 10:35
  much there. And you have to address cover.
• 10:38
  You have to address misguided, all those challenges.
• 10:41
  The real answer is if he keeps sitting in the boardroom, you
• 10:44
  know, it's a risk. It's a risk if you get busy with
• 10:47
  material. Oftentimes you get busy with
• 10:48
  material in general. But the reason that you're
• 10:51
  getting busy is to build up Hashem's process.
• 10:53
  Does that make sense? In its own residence?
• 10:55
  Yeah. When you live in the time of the
• 10:56
  bathroom, big dosh. All right, You live in the time
• 10:58
  in the Mishkan. Are you living in the desert and
• 11:01
  you're going back to your tent in the desert?
• 11:04
  Meanwhile you're being told I'm going to share.
• 11:06
  It'll get the gold, get the silver, get the wood, get a
• 11:09
  specific wood and build something beautiful.
• 11:12
  Perfect contrast guys living in a tent and he's building out a
• 11:16
  shem, A masterpiece, perfect masterpiece, golden.
• 11:20
  But if you have a person, right, who is living in the massive
• 11:23
  house and he's also busy with the shoes up, he's demanding
• 11:26
  they better have this and they better have that, but you're
• 11:28
  wondering why must they better have this?
• 11:31
  Now? Is that because you want to be
• 11:32
  associated with something special, or is that because you
• 11:36
  care about hashad? That's a challenge.
• 11:37
  It's a good question. But in general, he's telling
• 11:40
  kavod out of shamayim. Again, this is something they
• 11:43
  might deviate. That can lead to a deviation of
• 11:46
  our character. That's made to be very careful.
• 11:48
  But don't downgrade Hashem's kavod.
• 11:51
  Definitely not if you upgrade your own kavod.
• 11:54
  If it's a guy who's simple in general who wants to live
• 11:57
  simple, I give you an example where I learn the building that
• 12:00
  I learned with is a nondescript building with pretty much no
• 12:02
  name on the building and it's as simple as simple.
• 12:05
  Guess they're entitled because they live in two or three family
• 12:10
  houses, that one in that area losing to family house.
• 12:12
  They have money, don't have money all of the same.
• 12:15
  They don't have a lot of money. Some of them do, some of them
• 12:17
  don't. So because they all live with
• 12:19
  this mindset, they demand simplicity.
• 12:22
  If someone puts in fact, if someone will put up wooden
• 12:25
  molding on the shoe and the Shiva, they had a big problem
• 12:29
  with it. In reality, there was
• 12:31
  controversy. Imagine the fight was is that OK
• 12:34
  that someone decided to upgrade the molding on the walls.
• 12:38
  It was an issue. They don't like that they don't
• 12:39
  like why did they like it? Because they're demanding
• 12:42
  simplicity. So they're going on your
• 12:43
  mindset, but that's because they want their entire family, their
• 12:46
  mindset. They don't want to ever change
• 12:48
  their entitled. We live in this community.
• 12:51
  We don't have an issue of of saying I only what's are you and
• 12:55
  I only want but. Maybe we are where we are
• 12:57
  because. Of this yeah, it's challenge,
• 13:00
  you're right So what would you tell the guy we're going to
• 13:02
  making a sabetuda let's take that.
• 13:04
  It's a clear example. Guy's making a sabetuda.
• 13:07
  Would you tell him? He asked you.
• 13:08
  Should I make the ones that looked from 40 years ago or
• 13:12
  should I make the new ones that Who do you tell him that's?
• 13:15
  The truth is I focus more on the class and so fair when they try
• 13:20
  to chisel those guys down to $23,000 and get the guy who's
• 13:25
  really that. Shame then the fancier case.
• 13:28
  Was it cheaper the Clough? Right.
• 13:29
  You should know that they really don't focus enough.
• 13:31
  You're right now. That's why we found some
• 13:33
  problems these things. It's true.
• 13:35
  So you're saying do cover, but do a mill died the poet do the
• 13:39
  beauty of poet. That's absolutely a perfect
• 13:42
  point. Let's get.
• 13:42
  Back to the outside, What do you care about?
• 13:43
  The outside no no but to it. If the guy does both, you have a
• 13:47
  guy does both golden. If the guy is busy with the case
• 13:50
  and not busy with the Clough there, analyze your problem.
• 13:54
  That's exactly the depiction of the problem itself.
• 13:57
  Perfect. We don't think correct enough to
• 14:01
  have these, these these, this open canvas to work with.
• 14:06
  You know what I'm saying? We're like we're yeah, but but
• 14:09
  OK, now you have a beautiful cloth.
• 14:10
  You want a beautiful outside? Yeah, you say beautiful, but it
• 14:13
  doesn't. It's like $1000 one.
• 14:15
  OK, You know what I mean. It.
• 14:16
  Became like, oh, he don't need a Abby Louboutin case, you know
• 14:19
  what I mean? Which by the way, if anyone
• 14:21
  needs, I found the company that golf in Israel for less.
• 14:27
  Time we knew it was coming, someone wasn't coming up to you.
• 14:30
  I sure was less but our community doesn't care if it's
• 14:33
  not it doesn't care but the reality but the but the thinking
• 14:39
  the process is exactly that, which is if the person is too
• 14:43
  busy with the case and doesn't care about the cloth they're you
• 14:47
  know, if they're busy with the certain parts of the shul, but
• 14:50
  they can care less about the Toronto shoe, that's also a
• 14:53
  problem. All right, these are typical
• 14:55
  examples. But if the person has the right
• 14:58
  brain of mind and he wants to do much forth well, they need to be
• 15:01
  in that air need to be beautiful in every sense.
• 15:04
  You're buying to villain and it should be more expensive than
• 15:09
  four nights out dinner. All right, that's a fair one.
• 15:12
  Thai is buying to villain. You see him watch my sister and
• 15:14
  if you know he goes to dinner three times.
• 15:16
  Each time you go to dinner just goes now $300 go to dinner.
• 15:18
  How much it costs. Yeah, because I'm so.
• 15:21
  Different to the straps, from the best to the to the second
• 15:24
  best was $50. They're like, come on, I wear it
• 15:26
  every day. We're going to use it for the
• 15:28
  next 10 years. Like what's $5?
• 15:29
  I remember the old exact. I remember in the old days I
• 15:32
  usually saw a love and a throat in deal.
• 15:34
  My cousin and people used to come in.
• 15:36
  It's a different community now. I was thinking about this.
• 15:38
  The guy used to park his car. I had a guy had a one of those
• 15:41
  like like like special cars. What is Dave's?
• 15:43
  I don't know. I remember Italy.
• 15:45
  No, it's beyond that. It was one of the days of no one
• 15:46
  else. Sports car at that time was of
• 15:50
  over some $100,000. OK, He comes in and he's looking
• 15:54
  to see how I'm not exaggerate. We had the lowest number was 36.
• 15:58
  Shauna Balkan is down to maybe a 26 if they have it all right,
• 16:02
  26. Every time you push the pedal,
• 16:05
  you pay more money on gas in that car.
• 16:07
  All right? Just the detail of that car
• 16:10
  every week, It's more expensive than that.
• 16:12
  But Fran Mine was off at that time was super boring.
• 16:15
  Fran Mine was off at that time. Today, thank God we spent
• 16:18
  everything. So it's harder to see how
• 16:21
  distinct this issue is. But a person has to be real with
• 16:25
  himself. Which is the best, clearest
• 16:27
  adaptation of this concept is if his life is simple and his shoe
• 16:31
  is beautiful, beautiful, right? If he see the album right.
• 16:35
  If he lives simply, but he spends a lot of money on his
• 16:38
  children's toward our learning or the tuition or the Tiffilene
• 16:41
  and Bizuza, great, He puts emphasis on that.
• 16:44
  He puts emphasis on that, great. He does both also fine.
• 16:48
  But if he does one more than the other, he's very busy with
• 16:51
  glorification, but he's hollow. Then it's like a person who's
• 16:56
  into Ho Kabaro, person who's inside and like the outside.
• 16:59
  And that's actually not only not good, which is there's more on
• 17:03
  the inside. Fine, awesome, fine, awesome
• 17:06
  'cause that's that's a form of glorification as well.
• 17:08
  But if the person is very busy with the outside and doesn't
• 17:10
  really display any interest on the inside, then you have to ask
• 17:14
  why is it? Is he busy for the talk, busy
• 17:16
  for the hype, busy for all those other things that bother us?
• 17:19
  Or is he somehow just Miss Carter?
• 17:21
  This is a challenge I'll see a little more.
• 17:24
  What about it a person? Well, I guess same.
• 17:28
  Thing alright that's you a little more me 364 or me shoving
• 17:31
  my head Paze but Macomb say Allah hold her but the person is
• 17:37
  cheap in these areas when he has the ability to spend he's very
• 17:42
  well off he's spending everything and he decided to be
• 17:44
  cheap like my guy the $26 guy puts a lot of Lube and he used
• 17:51
  to call a lot of Lube OK ano Ella jote the person who has the
• 18:00
  Miss Carter approach not spending on these things it's a.
• 18:04
  It's a. Come on, it's a from a tree.
• 18:08
  It's worth a. Dollar, I think $26 that people
• 18:25
  were cheap. That's the point, he tells us.
• 18:34
  It's supposed to have to be done in the most beautiful way.
• 18:36
  The take away is when you're doing a mitzvah, as he said, how
• 18:40
  can I do it better? You're doing something.
• 18:43
  You say, I wish I want to do it in the top way.
• 18:44
  When the when the safari comes and says, what kind of Mizaz do
• 18:47
  you want to get? You don't say right, Give me the
• 18:49
  basics. You say one second.
• 18:51
  The Mizaza protects my home. I spent a lot, a lot of money on
• 18:54
  my home. All right, I had this
• 18:56
  personally, but I had to, I found problems about this
• 19:00
  result. I had to do them over.
• 19:02
  I went to the safari and he gave me the, the, the the list and it
• 19:06
  was like a choice of like $40 per missus on to like 110.
• 19:10
  I mean some crazy number from his son.
• 19:12
  And at first I was like, you know, taken aback.
• 19:14
  He's honest guy. He's not cheating me.
• 19:16
  I was taking him back to spend so many money per missus on.
• 19:19
  And I said to myself, this is polite.
• 19:21
  This is protection. I had problems in the house.
• 19:24
  I really need to get a Goodman's resort.
• 19:26
  I'm going to be cheap on this. I'll spend I spent the Max on
• 19:31
  the resort, which is a lot of that's all you have to.
• 19:33
  But I'm telling you that if you spend a lot on other things,
• 19:36
  it's worth it to spend a lot of them, especially because of
• 19:40
  protection. By the way, you sure?
• 19:42
  I agree but I have a problem like price gals when it comes to
• 19:45
  I agree. That's why I say.
• 19:45
  He's an honest person, yeah. So sometimes I would say
• 19:50
  someone's making a business doesn't sit well with me.
• 19:53
  You're right. It also shows where someone's
• 19:55
  putting their value in, like, you know, there's people that do
• 19:59
  complain about everything that's religious 'cause they'll burn
• 20:03
  money on, you know, and it was like that.
• 20:06
  So it really shows. They go on to the patient that
• 20:09
  they generally work out or whatever it is.
• 20:11
  And of course them some, I don't know, give me a number, $40,000
• 20:14
  revocation. Is that crazy?
• 20:15
  I could see it happening. You, you take your whole family
• 20:18
  and you go and let they go on vacation and it rains, right?
• 20:21
  They went somewhere and it rained the whole time and they
• 20:24
  spent a humongous number that was a flop.
• 20:27
  If adds a, but that was a flop. OK, I had to spend time on the
• 20:30
  plane. I had to spend time in the rain,
• 20:32
  had to figure out your food. It didn't work on.
• 20:34
  Rabbi Lesty, we're on vacation. And it was it was an expensive
• 20:38
  place, right? We went, Rabbi Mansfield was
• 20:40
  there and they were donating. They were, they were collecting
• 20:43
  money for an orphanage of kids, OK.
• 20:45
  And he got up and he made his speech and he's like, guys, you
• 20:48
  know what? They were giving X amount for X
• 20:50
  kid. He goes, guys, this hotel is
• 20:53
  bust that don't tell me you are but monkey, but this that's
• 20:56
  right. So the that puts people farther
• 20:59
  hold back, but some of the people do that.
• 21:01
  I know we all know people who are very spendy in certain
• 21:05
  areas. That's work and they're very
• 21:08
  achievements that I they just didn't get this normal 2 parts.
• 21:11
  They probably don't see value on its foot.
• 21:13
  And I definitely never learned that.
• 21:14
  There's something called beautification of mitzvah, and
• 21:16
  it's a real genuine thing for very Hashu people.
• 21:20
  Some of the most beautiful places on earth came from people
• 21:23
  who live very simple mindsets. And that is a clear
• 21:27
  understanding of this concept. And the idea again is we need to
• 21:31
  build up Hashem and almonds, and we don't really have a direct
• 21:35
  visual of Hashem in this world. What you have is what kind of
• 21:39
  deal you make. The same way, same thing as when
• 21:42
  you come home and somebody asks you, the rabbi say, and his
• 21:45
  speech was, I don't know, fuzzy, and you come home and say the
• 21:48
  rabbi, he always feels great. I ain't getting a guy at this
• 21:50
  time. He always feels great.
• 21:52
  You didn't knock him. He had nothing to say over, but
• 21:54
  he didn't knock him. Why?
• 21:55
  Why? You made sure to do that because
• 21:57
  you want to make sure your family sees rabbis in a good
• 21:59
  light, right? You hear some sort of
• 22:01
  controversy with rabbis in the community and you decide not to
• 22:04
  talk about it because again, you want your family to see rabbis
• 22:07
  in their life. It's same head as the head that
• 22:10
  says let's build up mitzvah, let's make a big deal out of it.
• 22:13
  And if that means spending more on it, we'll do so again.
• 22:16
  A genuine person, an honest person, a guy who is real, and
• 22:20
  he's doing it for the sake of building up Hashem beauty.
• 22:23
  He brings more Hashem into this world.
• 22:25
  All the reasons better off not doing agree.
• 22:28
  Start with this. You reply all the Shabbat.
