The ABCs of creating a proper Jewish home. One can learn Torah, partake in performing mitzvot, and keep the sanctity of Shabbat. But, if he is influenced by the bad things, he may be undermining it all. If he looks at improper things on his phone or hangs out with the wrong people, that spirit of going against Hashem will negatively affect his heart.

The Navi tells us to be careful with this.

He says that in the generation before Moshiach comes, the influence of the street will be great.

What’s your job in order to be the best?

What should your response be?

You should always make sure your base is strong! Make sure everything in your home is kosher and pure!

But once you come in, make sure to close the door behind you.

Watch your back because the influence is great! Make sure you don’t get influenced by negative people and bad things. 

Before Moshiach comes, the last men standing will be the small amount of Jews who want to serve Hashem without being affected by outside influences.

He has been involved in the Chazaq and Torah Anytime organizations, among others including NCSY, BJX, and Partners in Torah. He has since returned to his hometown of Lakewood, N.J. Rabbi Rahimi is a graduate of Deal Yeshiva, and learned in Beth Medrash Govoha becoming a very close talmid of Rabbis Yeruchem Olshin shlit”a, and Yitzchok Sorotzkin shlit”a.
