I wake up in the morning and I fly to
Pasadena California what I was doing is
for my company the real estate company
that I work with I spend a lot of time
doing investor presentations and if the
speech is over and a guy comes right at
me makes a beline for me he said I'm
ex-military I fought in whatever Wars
and then I got injured and after my
injury they moved me into the military
academy what I do is I train soldiers
and had to become great Soldier that's
what my job was and I teach my soldiers
always to look out
for the hero's moment what is the hero's
moment one of the greatest people ever
was an individual that was referenced in
the gamarra a man named raka so if I
were guessing I would say he probably
grew up and he was the firstborn son of
the greatest Rabbi ever but that's not
the
case rabiaa was a Shepherd who did not
until the age of 40 even understand
Olive Bas 40 years old he starts it he
doesn't become just a Rabbi he becomes
the leader of the generation and not
only did he become the leader in Torah
every becomes a military Giant and he's
got 24,000 students that's bigger than
Lakewood and the Mir and they all
combined and he's got the right hand of
Torah and the left hand of military
strength and he's got God clearly on his
side s om it all starts to unravel and
the students start to die and it goes
from Bleak to bleer to dark to Black
what would a reasonable man do next he'd
pack it up he'd go to his apartment and
he would basically lick his wounds for
the rest of his life and he would say
you know what I guess Hashem wasn't with
me you know what Bika does he gets up
brushes himself off he goes down south
and goes you know what let me open up
again I'm only over a hundred and he has
five students can you imagine 24,000 now
he's got five guys in the front but
guess what the goras that you learn the
cabala that runs this world is all being
revealed from those five and we're in
this room today we're sitting here today
because it o5 the question is how so I'm
sitting in Pasadena
California and my new friend Jim the
military guy says to me there's three
levels of soldiers they're good soldiers
and there are great soldiers great
soldiers go the extra mile and then in
their training something happens
something happens when everything goes
wrong and everybody quits and there's
always one soldier that never gives up
there's always one that when all
reasonableness says stop says I am never
stopping that's the hero's moment you
could be the greatest guy in the world
but you're not tested until you fall and
when you
fall that's when you decide that's when
you see if you're just great or you're a
hero you know what's amazing about
Judaism We're a nation that is built off
the backs of the few Heroes every every
generation it's when a whole nation
stands at the banks of a river and says
how am I going into the river what are
we even doing here and one Jew nak says
I am never giving up it's one Jew and
the whole world is sitting at the edge
of Canan and they say we can't go in we
can't fight we're Jews we can sue them
but we're never going to fight them it's
one Jew K that
says it's one Jew D that says golad is
cursing out God in every generation
there's those few Jews that with the
going gets tough they never give up and
it's in those small moments where they
don't get up that they get all the
benefits there's some parents that never
give up on their kids their teacher
their coach says that they going to be
nothing and some parent says I'm never
giving up on my child ever and it's
those moments that kid becomes that kid
I'm never giving up on my marriage I'm
never giving up on Judaism I don't care
for a GU hard I'm going to do whatever
it
takes cuz only when it's
tough do I become a hero
