The Unparalleled Joys of Jewish Life: A Celebration of Faith, Pleasure, and Spiritual Enrichment

0:01 Who's got it better than us? No, buddy, and I'm going to tell you why. We have been endowed. We have been gifted the treasure, the opportunity of a lifetime. We have been gifted this soul, this Nishama, that has descended from right beneath the Almighty's throne, from the Kisiak Coven. It has been planted inside of your body and it has become heated and spiritually charged and uplifted you. That you are now Jewish, you are part of this great brotherhood. It is the most pleasurable experience in the world.

0:42 now I ask you then, how is it that Jewish youth can throw it all away? How is it that somebody could get rid of their Jewishness, their Judaism? What else could they want? And I, based on some teachings from some smarter and wiser rabbis, to suggest an approach is because it's one off Hashgaffa, it's one misunderstood topic, and that is that of Gdharam, of boundaries. We tend to think that these mitzvos get in the way that all of this criteria the 613, it holds me back from even more pleasure seeking opportunities, But it is quite backwards.

1:27 The mitzvos are there to further deliver the Einag and the Coved to a mensch. I ask you, is there any possible rationalization that someone from a different religion could enjoy a herring and a kichl on Shabbos morning to wash it down with a Woodford Reserve before 10 am. A Jewish nigan, a Yiddish flavor in the food. Is there any possible hannah like the Chassidim have when they have a good smoke on Matzai Shabbos after a hale-like of Shabbos from the Rebus Haftullah candle? Is there anything like putting Tefillin on after you've gotten a haircut and it fits nice and tight?

2:09 Is there anything like the brachal the benching the barinafoshos after a center cut steak from a 5-star restaurant when you're a Yidd the mitzvos, did I get darrim? Did I hold you back? They further deliver the Einag and all the laws of marital purity and that one must separate from the other is only vital, only further to deliver more Einag. It's kishmaks as Einag Yidd. When a person says Daya and he makes boundaries, he can enjoy something Otherwise. If you look at the world, it never ends. It's how could I enjoy this if I could be there and I could go here and I could do this.

2:50 It never ends and you can't enjoy anything. You say on Friday night amedushne onek, we are a nation that is medushne onek. Grib Yerchub says you know what that means. Look at your arch-girls sitter. It says the same thing. It means that we are a nation that is saturated by pleasure In oil mazeh. Why would anyone go off the derk? If you go off the derk, you're not going to have someone that is so kind in the Jewish world to just give you a job right out of Yashiva and help you set yourself up in real estate. It doesn't happen like that. Am medushne onek. It is so gishmak to be a Yidd And you should be overjoyed when you say the ubrachas in the morning of shaloy asani guy, that you have been granted this holy, spiritually charged, pleasure seeking life that you have.

3:39 So I ask you again who's got it better than us? Nobody.
