Yosef MizrachiHOST
These wicked liberals, they rather their kids will be drug addicts than they will become ultra-Orthodox.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
And if you don't believe me, there's an article from 25 years ago by Dr. Miller, the most famous brain surgeon of those days in Israel's hospitals, that his son became a Baal Tshuva, religious.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Son became religious.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
The lefty reporter is asking Dr. Miller, You are so upset that your son became religious that it looks to me that you are more upset that he became religious if he would become an heroin addict.
Doniel KatzGUEST
That's already evolution.
Doniel KatzGUEST
As a Baal Tshuva, I lived 20 years of my life without knowing about Hashem or Torah or anything.
Doniel KatzGUEST
That's the unconscious.
Doniel KatzGUEST
And then I had my miracles, my awakening, and then I realized there is a God, there is a truth, but to change my life and my family and my friends and the food that I eat and my girlfriend and, oh my gosh, my film career.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
Because it's a search, a trial and error.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
Spiritually, it represents a difference between the Baal Teshuvah and the Tzaddik, or the Benoni and the Tzaddik.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
That Tzaddik, he doesn't have to trial and error, he doesn't make mistakes, and everything is illuminated.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
And that's expressed in the fact that this is the Jerusalem Talmud style of study, where it's just smooth sailing.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
You know, to us, the Rebbe says it, it's enough.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
But the Rebbe is giving a novel approach to the two Talmuds and what they mean.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
You know, I added an overlay of Chassidus here with the Beinani and the Baal Teshuvah.
Shalom Moshe PaltielHOST
But on the simple letter of the subject here, right? Both Talmuds speak about the three signs of a Jew and of a potential convert.
EliezerGUEST
It wasn't even, to my mind, particularly Jewish music.
EliezerGUEST
It's more music from the club scene, which I'm familiar with from my past Baal Tshuva days.
EliezerGUEST
It wasn't particularly Jewish, and I think perhaps it was a band who were accustomed to playing in big, simple halls and have their volume set at a certain level rather than something more appropriate for a residential neighborhood of Yerushalayim, and that was my experience.
Ari WassermanHOST
Wow, unbelievable.
Shimon NeubortHOST
It might be pointed out that in Sefer HaMitzvahs, the Rambam mentions something which is not even mentioned in his legal code.
Shimon NeubortHOST
The Rambam says this prohibition of reminding a Baal Tshuva of his past is even if you do it in a very indirect fashion.
Shimon NeubortHOST
Reminding him, for example, is that Rambam says, You know, you should thank Hashem that He's directed you from the bad path you were on before to the good path you're on now.
Shimon NeubortHOST
Since this will inwardly cause a pain to the person, even though you're just reminding him to thank God for the wonderful thing which has been done to him, that his life has been straightened out.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
I told him, what I've done in the last six months, I did not do in ten years.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
You could have made in six months more Baalei Tshuva on your money than what in ten years we didn't make.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
But you didn't have the merit.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
That's why Hashem vomited you, kicked you out.

Zvi HermanHOST
Rav Schwab is talking to a different demographic.
Zvi HermanHOST
Rabbi Aaron may be talking about sort of like his audience might be more Baalei Tshuva and that type of stuff.
Zvi HermanHOST
Rav Schwab is talking to the religious Jew and the Orthodox Jew.
Zvi HermanHOST
After a person who's from, he's not looking to be a Baalei Tshuva necessarily, in the classic sense.
Zvi HermanHOST
Obviously, all of us are Baalei Tshuva.
Zvi HermanHOST
but a person who's already from.
Zvi HermanHOST
He says, after we get Das from HaKadosh Baruch Hu, we analyze ourselves and we realize that there's a glaring lack in our Avodah Hashem.

Eli WolbromHOST
You're reborn.
Eli WolbromHOST
The same way a Baal Tshuva is not the same person as they were.
Eli WolbromHOST
I think when you come here, you become a Baal Tshuva, in a sense.
Eli WolbromHOST
Not that you're doing Averos before, but you just become a different person.
Eli WolbromHOST
So no matter how much you prep in New York to come here, once you, like... feel the land and you become you know intimately familiar with it you are going to become a different person how many people maybe not to you but like to me they'll be like oh gosh you changed oh amazing for 40 years you were this white all of a sudden yeah that's what happens anybody who's here for five years and didn't change i mean that's like the saddest thing i've ever heard imagine uprooting your family and all the challenges and you stay the same
