Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just: Building the Sanctuary Within an Imperfect World 12.31.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

0:00
843 so anybody need a book? There's all a concept we're
0:08
about to see is in this idea of having love on sham and being on
0:16
your mind. The more thing should be kabocha
0:18
mind by the AB two example. Then the main thing out of that
0:21
story suspect that the guy has the guilty conscience, which I
0:24
think is a very impressive thing.
0:25
He probably was raised decently, probably just, you know, got
0:29
involved in money and lost his mind a little bit.
0:31
The main thing for that story also is, is that the first
0:34
there's a Kedusha Shem there, or at least a avoidance of a
0:37
hilarious story. That's what it is.
0:40
If it is the guy who looks religious, the whole thing is
0:42
hit the black at the whole business and we're writing them
0:45
off and we're writing off the whole type and then the guy kind
0:48
of saves the type. At least us now.
0:51
Here, page view four or three. One of the big ideas of Hassim
0:57
is to care about the Gula. How much do you care for the
1:02
Gula, Joe? Tremendously.
1:04
Do you know you? Because you want a vehicle head
1:07
started, by the way, that's why. Yeah, because we want the the
1:12
time to come where everyone knows I send the value, you
1:14
know? So you get to work from home
1:16
probable. That's where the words of 403
1:20
exactly Hey, Cazid Caze Mavada Abu Dashuva de Massey Metro Tava
1:26
la Cavanaazo he Nevada's richest ETA meets Adama Mash.
1:32
You've seen him go to Israel, you see the certain people,
1:35
they're in constant pain. They call it Al Agalu, the AL
1:41
Hahurban on the lack of better makdash, Mitzan Mash because of
1:47
the fact mainly that when it's open makdash, there's a lack of
1:52
the available without if you should buy you and the open for
1:58
the gula to open for the redemption for one reason, one
2:01
reason. No, that is when the redemption
2:03
comes, there'll be more coverage Shamaya.
2:06
They're not thinking about people getting better, which is
2:07
a beautiful thing. They're not thinking about all
2:09
of us having the money we need, which is a wonderful thing.
2:11
They're thinking about coverage, Shamaya and the back that
2:15
Hashem, they will be clear. I'm waiting, I'm hoping, I'm
2:25
anticipating Kabaddi shrine, read Paleo Tami and these people
2:31
pray constantly, which we do. Also, I'll give you that benefit
2:34
of Hashabat, kabod, Shamayim, Illui, praying for the Gila, and
2:41
praying for the return of God's honor to be its highest point.
2:46
Part of what bothers us about the galut, the world we live in,
2:50
things we see, the news, all these stories, even stories of
2:54
Jews doing the wrong thing, things that have a role in the
2:57
community, all those kind of stories were supposed to hit us
3:00
at our core #1 the number one pain we should be having from
3:06
the world gone man and all these problems is Hashem's name.
3:11
Hashem's glory is being hidden through these stories.
3:14
When you have a person who steals, you have a person who
3:18
does the inappropriate, a famous person, a famous name, wherever
3:21
it may be. Doesn't inappropriate something
3:23
in the news where a law is changing that's anti religion.
3:27
All these things. The pain should be a lack of
3:31
cavalry and the glory and the joy should be when you see a Jew
3:35
do something right, when you see Jews and move in the right
3:38
direction, when you see Shalom, whatever it may be, the joy
3:42
should be at its core is cavalry.
3:45
Shamiam there Vimyama Adam, a person might say, if this is on
3:50
my mind all the time and then I pray, so what's the purpose of
3:54
my anticipation? Why does it matter if I care?
3:58
I got I'm supposed to care. Why they will make any
4:00
difference if I care? Why will it make any difference
4:03
if I pray for Kabocha my or if I pray for the Gila Miani Omani
4:11
Safun Sheikh pallel a la Galut by Ishalaim?
4:15
What's the purpose for me to go and pray for the rebuilding of
4:19
the bed of Mikdash, for the rebuilding of Ishalaim Abdiyah?
4:23
What's the purpose? I got to make a difference.
4:26
I'm one guy, I have my whole life to live what I need to
4:29
worry or put emphasis and effort into an area.
4:34
Nothing's going to change. Tough enough for me.
4:37
Hamid Panetta, Filati Hansua Guliot with his Maha Ishua.
4:43
Do you think that because of my prayer and my anticipation and
4:48
my hope, you think the Galud's going to end and because of
4:52
that, the Schwa's going to come? I think about this.
4:57
Every Tasha bhav, every Tasha Bhav, they go to town about
5:01
Sanat Khanam, petty hatred. And every year I have two
5:06
cynical comments that I shouldn't publicize, but I will,
5:10
number one. Number one bit of last year,
5:13
I've said to you before South Carolina was only getting worse.
5:16
Whatever y'all doing, whatever you're talking about, it's not
5:19
working. Some glorified beautiful speech
5:22
about something very rosy. It's not making a difference
5:25
between me and my president law. It didn't make a difference to
5:28
me last year. It's not going to make me do
5:29
this year. That's Part 1, right?
5:31
For example, whatever a person has their pediatric in their
5:35
home and their family in the community there may be, it's not
5:37
making a difference. It hasn't.
5:39
It hasn't moved the needle one inch.
5:43
Overall. Inspiration is a flash in the
5:44
pan. So inspiration in that topic
5:47
feels like it's a flash in the pan.
5:48
As Paul, one that follows me, we'll get to that.
5:50
How you deal with that? Paul 2 is I'm one person.
5:56
Let's say I do change. That's it's making a difference.
5:59
Yet the whole Jewish world, we're going forward in every
6:02
area. We're going backward in these
6:04
areas, right? You think Shalom has gotten
6:07
stronger over the years, maybe only gotten worse?
6:09
Somebody has to set an example. Maybe that's maybe that's.
6:12
What? Maybe it's about building.
6:15
I've been seeing the compassion have for himself right.
6:18
And it's it's a step by step item.
6:22
You know, it's showing. Wow, this one old guy cares that
6:27
I'm not settled. Good.
6:29
Why don't we look at the? I'll say that says.
6:31
I said it, committed Shuba, that Amban tells us, you know, one
6:34
item can tip the scales either way we look at, why don't we
6:37
look at like that? Why don't we look at like that?
6:39
Yeah, I mean my one Shalom between me and my neighbor.
6:42
I could. I could be the difference in
6:44
America. I could be the difference in the
6:45
world. I could be the difference in
6:46
Brooklyn. This is on a national.
6:48
Level fair but but the truth is. National level there too.
6:51
No, the truth is, if no, it doesn't work that way.
6:53
If Sonat Hinam is a across the border issue, which they always
6:58
tell us it is, which it is, and I'm not going to change it, They
7:01
cross the board that Seaboard has to change when it comes to
7:06
the saving to hummus. Not each person to change.
7:09
But it's incumbent eventually to recreate HC board change, which
7:13
you're not getting to. Through my change today, we're
7:15
saying the overall pain is something that suppresses.
7:18
I shall cease now. We'll get to which we will say,
7:22
which is my change will hit the scale a world.
7:25
War is just the collection of individuals.
7:28
But there are different concepts.
7:29
Sometimes the collection of individuals is enough.
7:32
So as long as you have enough of individuals on one side until
7:36
the scale, that's a setting made to Shiva.
7:38
That's true. When it comes to the concepts
7:41
which are widespread, you have to undo the widespreadness.
7:45
How do you undo arthritis? You have to create a culture of
7:49
what's called Shalom Avatskinam, everyone loves each other, all
7:53
that stuff. Me getting along with my
7:56
coworker, my neighbor, my brother-in-law is not really
7:58
going to tip that skill. So it always bothered me.
8:01
What's the purpose? And then Part 2 is same thing
8:04
with Tiffila. We pray for Yeshua every day,
8:07
all the time. Old Amidas took what Yeshua,
8:09
Yeshua, Hashiya, Rishalaya and Benyang, the whole business with
8:13
my Tiffila going to do to change the world.
8:17
A very negative question. It's a very real question, and
8:21
the truth is it's a quick question because how is one
8:24
person changing? But.
8:25
What do you have to change the world?
8:26
When Janae Israel left Egypt, it was a mushim, only a 20, you
8:31
know, a fifth left. So maybe you do this, you'll be
8:35
part of that small group, the fair of the game.
8:36
We are fair boy, not going to be that way.
8:39
Even if it is that way according to the game about it is way the
8:42
change. All you say all.
8:43
It means is right? The change has to be done.
8:45
I had the. Only a fifth to be missed about.
8:47
The truth is, though, any amazed that's?
8:49
What they said. No, the C by by the way, I go
8:53
down the road in the middle of the shame.
8:54
Some say it was way less than 1/5 OK and the beginning to the
8:59
end and we do the calculations and numbers Army sale according
9:03
to their numbers was worth was it was a group of millions and
9:06
millions of people and the pursuit does say how could they
9:10
had the the 60 kids, the six kids at a time, the officers.
9:14
So now he based on that they got way more people in the beginning
9:18
and way less about the end. That's when you get to this
9:20
isn't the dosh. So he would bring me in.
9:22
His out did. You see the 100 times the the
9:24
the recorders, the first and second bad time he died where he
9:28
was all coming. Right.
9:30
No, no. So the point is, especially by
9:33
the poor mixture about me sale, you can have a lot of people who
9:37
left to the side here. We already exist because you
9:40
already exist. We found that simple.
9:43
Now you have to have a widespread change and the
9:46
widespread change need to get rid of or widespread longing for
9:50
the better Midas. Neither 1 exists and either one
9:53
Huh. You eat.
9:54
That stuff you want a big. I'm not a big widespread guy, I
9:58
know that. Widespread guy.
9:59
Whatever though, let's have a kumbaya.
10:01
It doesn't work. It's not real.
10:02
So my question is exactly, exactly that's a Shabana cross,
10:06
whatever my question is. So that works with that works
10:10
for a religious, but exactly for our community over the Jewish
10:14
world, that's very religious. These things are ineffective.
10:17
We're not effective enough. What's the purpose?
10:20
Following my passion, refocus. Oh, OK, 20 seconds.
10:25
I'm being very negative, but it's the truth.
10:26
I haven't seen one person. I haven't seen enough people
10:29
chasing these things. So the answer really is, as
10:31
we'll see in a second, You take a boy Hashem, I don't.
10:34
If you think of homeless community, when do you want to
10:36
much? You have to come on now.
10:37
They have to. They have to went to vacation.
10:39
Oh no, you don't. Really want to enjoy itself
10:42
already because August 20th not June for not 230th discussion.
10:46
How come as as a community it? Only took the families who.
10:53
The people, they really. It's funny about is in the state
11:01
even without the rabbit conversation.
11:03
They're in the state at the Lord From a Shia.
11:05
They live half here have there. That's an approach that help is
11:10
very helpful. We are in a state and we live
11:14
planted 2 feet on the ground like no one's business.
11:16
We are living from this vacation, that vacation from
11:19
this enjoyment. No bad, not bad at all.
11:21
We're not the only ones to do this.
11:23
All the people that have their all that Shazim with their
11:26
kiddie shoes in there and it's all our mouths and having to get
11:29
together this Friday afternoon and all the celebrations, 9000
11:32
celebrations. They're also living down here.
11:34
It's true and it's an issue. It doesn't allow you to lunk and
11:38
somehow some way I mean we have the box in our House of
11:41
unpainted area. That's how a longing we have to
11:43
smash in the glass by $1,000,000 wedding after a longing I got it
11:48
went out to enough. It's true.
11:49
It's Al Al right Al minus it has to be this way and every
11:52
individual is supposed to get to this point.
11:55
So my question is you're not getting the support on board.
11:58
So what's the purpose purpose. It's clear Hashem doesn't look
12:04
at seaworth, the break that is that Shem looks at every
12:07
individual. And yes, God wants it to total
12:10
the seaboard, but from his point of view, you, when you do the
12:14
right thing, you're a person who tactically is part of the right
12:19
seaboard. You just don't have the people
12:20
around you. So when you commit to pray for
12:23
the better mitadash, or you commit to change for the sake of
12:27
better mitadash or long for it, you are a member of the right
12:32
seaboard. Doesn't exist.
12:33
So in God's eyes, because you can't change the seaboard
12:36
anyway, you know you can't do anything to change the culture.
12:39
You can't change the world. Most things that are widespread
12:42
are not person by person, and they're not really effective in
12:45
the real personal world. That's the story.
12:47
Life is. You can't.
12:48
You want to make me change my opinion, OK, I'm one individual.
12:51
If you want to get me change my opinion, you need to convince
12:53
me. You need to really sit down with
12:55
me for hours and prove to me and change my opinion.
12:59
We're all that kind of stubborn. We all need.
13:01
So we're never changing, right? We're not changing it that way.
13:03
Instead, we are not trying to make the world around this
13:07
change. We're trying to move the needle
13:10
a drop. Because God looks at you and
13:12
says you are a member of that non existent seaboard, so you
13:16
deserve Bentham Mcdash Now. You're right now a member of the
13:21
Bentham Mcdash before it exists. That's what happens when you
13:24
pray for the Bettamin Dash every day and when you long for it,
13:28
when you hope for it and you may Shalom for the sake of Bettamin
13:31
Dash. You have built it from your
13:34
perspective and from your eyes, from your angle it already
13:37
exists. And Hashem says for you, I have
13:40
the Bettamin Dash. What does that mean?
13:42
How does it play out? I'm not sure, but it's something
13:45
that from God's eyes you did your part.
13:47
You will bonet Bethany Dash. Don't think of it like your one
13:51
guy banging a hammer and humongous building and no one
13:53
else help you see not get anywhere and why I sacrifice for
13:57
the sake of Shalom and socially really really Bethany Dash.
14:00
Oh come, he's going the other way.
14:01
They're all making fights. No, you from your eyes and God's
14:05
eye towards you have rebuilt Bethany Dash.
14:08
It's just not they but you have Palmia Fargo's I read these
14:12
words to Shiva toe but see those someone's really toasting
14:16
something. The answer is Adam.
14:27
That's why it says man was created.
14:29
Every individual was created alone and every individual has
14:32
their own stamp. You no, no two people look alike
14:36
Kadesh a call a had your mark Bishvili Nevada Alam purpose of
14:42
that everyone's to say the world was created for me Why Clearly
14:49
it's enough in God's eyes, it's better.
14:51
Yeah, but now I've met vaccine with Palima Azot as I was happy
14:55
enough when you asked about my gosh, even if Hashem cannot
15:01
deliver on that prayer and she like he named ASU, you did yours
15:12
and God is happy with this. That's what our prayers should
15:14
be. I said our Shalom should be
15:16
performing. I said our hope should be.
15:19
I am from my point of view, doing my part always as a member
15:24
of the Seaboard. You need to know all you need to
15:26
do is do your part and in God's eyes you rebuilt.
15:29
Another example is with the human rights.
15:32
If someone celebrates a wedding Kilu.
15:37
He built the bed of my dash. Same idea.
15:40
Exactly because where should I go?
15:42
Huh? Have you Miss America?
15:44
Tamakala, You are rebuilding a home, which rebuilding the
15:47
Shakina and rebuilding Betami Dash.
15:50
The idea, the theme is every person.
15:54
Although you're tied down to the Tibor, you're not really tied
15:57
down to the Seaboard. And never.
15:59
And I want to take this to other places as well.
16:01
Never say I'm limited to what the community is doing.
16:05
You're not limited at all. You and your own home, your own
16:07
family. You can be a person who listen
16:10
to Bethany dosh. You can be a person who rebuilt
16:12
the Bethany Dosh. Give me a person who has gone
16:15
ahead and right now you have your own track.
16:19
It's not limited to the community.
16:21
And if the community is going another way, it doesn't mean you
16:23
can't go your way. And don't say to yourself,
16:27
what's the purpose? To what end?
16:30
What am I gaining? I'll spend my life being the
16:33
Mashiach guy. I spend my life living temporary
16:35
because I believe in tomorrow. That's not going to get there
16:38
because look, he's not on the same page.
16:40
It doesn't matter. You're on that page and in God's
16:43
eyes, you and him are in his Bantam in dash because you hope
16:47
for it, you alone for it. You wanted and you can apply
16:50
this and as well kind of value at any point in priority.
16:56
They try to push. Don't say to yourself if it's
16:58
subor not not with me, what's the goal, what's the purpose if
17:02
I myself have a belief and I live by that belief and God sees
17:07
that and God says so and so is a member of the right claim.
17:12
That's what he is. That's how it goes.
17:13
All right, follow me. Let's read a little more The
17:16
desert divide the name and Avi and the void and the lacking of
17:20
having this and Avi used to complain the yard key and ish
17:25
that is the man came up here. He said that there was no worthy
17:28
men and he was astounded to no one who would pray.
17:30
In other words, Hashem just needs you.
17:32
God just needs the individual who cares about him who longs to
17:36
cover with your mind. I give you another example of
17:38
this applies if you see something go on in the community
17:42
that bothers you. All right, you know and your
17:46
parents and your upbringing as rule.
17:50
He tell your wife, I don't think it's appropriate.
17:53
You see, I think they're doing away.
17:54
It's not appropriate. And she says to you too often
17:57
say, what are you going to do about it?
17:59
What's the purpose? Everyone's doing it.
18:01
Everyone accepted it. You know, one guy with a voice.
18:05
What's the goal? All right, what is the goal?
18:08
What's the purpose of you saying I don't approve of how so and so
18:11
does vacation or I don't approve of certain weddings?
18:14
What's the purpose? What's going to make a
18:15
difference? Are the kids here?
18:16
How come the kids here? They might follow you, they
18:19
might go the other way, right? What's really the purpose?
18:22
The answer is simply the individual person.
18:26
You having an opinion in God's eyes means I still have my guy,
18:31
I still have someone holding my flag and it holds on for Kabul
18:34
Shamim. Or you have an opinion that you
18:36
know is right and the Jewish community is not right.
18:40
The community is going the other way.
18:41
The community, the Jewish world at large, whatever may be, and
18:44
people are pushing the other way.
18:46
What kind of businesses, how to do business, how to make a
18:49
wedding, how to go on vacation, how to spend, how to build all
18:53
these different things, how to run an organization right, how
18:57
to flaunt, how not to flaunt, who to marry, all these things
19:01
like. All this stuff leads to some
19:03
type of assimilation because of the mindset of where we came
19:06
from, the purity from way back landfill today.
19:09
Then you could say the same thing about the edict.
19:12
Well, I mean, you say edict. Telling you how to live your
19:14
life. OK so with the edict item place
19:17
good. That is you say your part of
19:19
this. Why should I accept all these
19:22
things that became norms? Forget about being one person
19:26
who is yelling and screaming on my own.
19:28
I shouldn't accept that she poor going that direction.
19:30
The same way the community never accepted to go against the
19:33
edict, we shouldn't accept he's ABS arguing with my point saying
19:38
forget about just being one individual.
19:39
You should be a person that's actually stops or tries to not
19:42
accept the community going a certain direction.
19:45
As we in my opinion, we have been delayed going and
19:47
everything that I've ever learned was don't do, let's say
19:51
Thanksgiving have the the emulating of the going part.
19:54
Don't do this right. Just stay away from that.
19:57
But yet that's that's really if you look bottom line, right.
20:01
Yeah, we have. Thousands of people celebrating,
20:04
you know, Christmas week in in these places.
20:07
Yeah, they're doing it because they won't get well, OK.
20:10
But you know what I mean It it's, it's became like, you
20:14
know, like everything else where we always had a, a difference.
20:16
I it was only a boyfriend. Even though we were American and
20:20
we weren't a primitive and, you know, growing up, but still did.
20:23
But there was a difference. Today, it's very what?
20:26
About this the. Only thing that we still for
20:29
some, for some, for some. So that's why.
20:34
They don't keep on. Vacation, right?
20:43
Sure. So to your point, which is why
20:48
should we accept these things? Why should let these things go?
20:51
Try stopping them. The reality is nothing has been
20:54
stopped in million years. People yell and screaming all
20:57
these things. I haven't seen a single thing
21:00
really be stuffed on a public scale to eat it don't work
21:03
because it was custom 2 for a boy.
21:06
A small divide. They can't.
21:08
Anybody trying to get everybody? Agreed with me, Rabbi, and
21:12
always that would that would be all.
21:15
The rabbis won't agree. Today it wouldn't work.
21:18
Today the guy came up with and said, all right, this is the new
21:21
rules. Even Rabbi Moshe told it to me
21:24
and I discussed it with. Chief Robbie, Right, right.
21:27
And by the way, shooting, by the way, they or even they, our
21:30
community got it from Argentina. They had a little backing.
21:34
It's impossible to do today. It turns out to be genius.
21:37
And the other thing is, I wouldn't trust that many people
21:40
today to make an edict. Why?
21:42
Because every guy would take their agenda and say he's ready
21:47
for this. He's 80 for that, right?
21:50
Nothing against whatever, but you know I'm some guys are
21:52
making easy comments, you know, overspending for going to deal.
21:55
I'm with you. It's not a good thing, but you
21:58
know it doesn't deserve it. Even he can't stop everything he
22:00
can't perfect. Instead, what this is telling
22:03
you is in your own home. You should be on the soapbox all
22:06
the time. You should have opinions, you
22:08
should voice your opinions. Your family should know your
22:11
where is that? Your own family and your own
22:12
mind. And even if your kids will
22:14
listen to you, you should have You can't.
22:16
Even listen to yourself. Right you.
22:18
Can't even listen to yourself you could say oh I old is
22:21
spending 100 grand is stupid, but then you could an outcast
22:25
and you prefer not going on vacation is stupid and I think
22:28
it's stupid, but you got them home the in therapy.
22:31
For three years, right? Exactly yo all the script.
22:33
Parents had no problem. He right, but he's right.
22:36
Look at you by the way. But today harder.
22:38
Give me save save much hard. You know what they did?
22:41
They took us in a car at the end of.
22:42
May I went with my kids? And they brought us back
22:44
September 10th from Maryland. We didn't see anyone.
22:47
We weren't allowed to call people.
22:48
No, I think you get a. Haircut that team back I knew
22:52
what you mind there you go Hanukkah is February Hanukah is
22:56
come back to this point. I know it's session right Mike
22:59
is because my in laws to go away every from the car for one
23:02
night. OK I was originally very strong
23:06
on my Khalil thing. We don't have any off on Khalil.
23:08
I'm not going with my kids. I vote I'm not going away They
23:12
it was backfired. I'm the first guy now to get
23:15
into the car. I had to be the first one by the
23:17
hotel man Lewis because. They go with or.
23:19
Argue exactly, but but I still have my opinion.
23:22
I still have my opinion got a little smaller.
23:25
I draw my opinions. All right, you should have your
23:27
opinions, even if it means when you marry off your daughter and
23:31
and yet the wedding is humongous and you say to yourself, hey, I
23:34
never held it. This doesn't make a difference.
23:36
You have your opinion and you try to apply it and some ways
23:40
somehow it comes out. Maybe it comes out because you
23:43
notice on vacation you're not as teal as other families who are
23:47
so needy or jumping for the chair and say to yourselves,
23:50
these people are crazy. You know what?
23:51
You think they're crazy because you already built such a strong
23:54
foundation of you holding up a different world.
23:57
Or maybe it comes to when you go to deal, you're not going to
23:58
need the biggest house, so you're not going to demand the
24:00
pool. Whatever.
24:01
Maybe levels based on your beliefs.
24:05
Having your beliefs is extremely important, not just going alone.
24:09
Everyone else is very important and it's fact as you see over
24:12
here in this example. God sees it, God accepts it, and
24:15
God likes it. I thought of you.
