Av to Elul: The Journey is Part of the Destination - Rav Yisroel Reisman

[Music] i'd like to talk today about the concept of we find a number of places in the in the torah that individuals receive the blessing of their what is we find people who traveled a great distance that would normally take a long time and they made it in a short period of time somebody that would normally take three days traveled in one day we call that we find it by eliezer and eliezer went to find the shidduch for yitzhak he says i came today rashi says i came today what does he mean to say i came today of course he came today it means he had defeated cedar for a very long trip or it should have taken a long time was a one-day trip we find it a second time when jake travels from his father's home to lovan's home on the way and he arrived at the harabadis in a surprisingly short amount of time by ifgaba ifgab we find frieza's hederath later in precious valencia before the federal raglan where claudia srell's traveling territory they went three days travel in one day so you know i could think of three places in hamish we find this concept of fizza saddarach in yeshiva world we clear hakira about fizzy said earth how does fizza cydera work how exactly does the secretary perform the miracle of frieza's is it a miracle in time the traveling is a normal traveling just when you look at your watch and you got there a short period of time this trash has passed or is it a miracle in space is it a miracle in distance that you tuck it travel only one day and miraculously you arrive at a three-day a three day destination to give an example let's say someone would travel from here to the neighborhood let's say let's say it normally takes an hour and he has pizza said eric he arrives on daybreak one minute after he left i know some people that drive that way here but yes pizza said there if he arrives it's one minute later is the chat that the traveling was a normal one he traveled for an hour the the traveling was an hour's worth of traveling the gas tank used up an hour's worth of gas but it was a miracle in his mind in time when he got there he looked at his watch it was only one minute later after the sparkle performed the nays but somehow there was a warping time and the hours worth of traveling took one minute or is the chad that attacker traveled a minute he got into the car he traveled a minute and it was a nice in distance in the distance that he traveled he traveled one minute and bang he's suddenly there this is a claire that we we have in pizza sardera people always say esparzanov esports in afghanistan afghanistan is how much casey is that if you traveled one minute you have to refill the tank you travel an hour i saw that hank nyevsky i very briefly he proves the first of these two ways that it's a miracle only in time not in distance in other words the the schlep the traveling the target traveling is all the same just it's a miracle that does not end the time has changed and this is israel he brings a very beautiful radio we find as i said in particular hashem replies to a left-hand senate and they were ready to go towards israel this is before the sin of the mirabellum they're ready to go the plastic says they travel three days this travel doctor ashi mahalo wanted to bring the entire straw quickly so he traveled three days traveling in one day pizza said that if you took him later first pasta compared kid olive the complainers here they complain it's not as memorable as when their complaints they have no food or their complaints they have no water or they complain because of the miragulum it's a less memorable occasion because the just says they complained it doesn't say what they complained about rashi says what was the complaint umruh without a rest stop without stopping from the traveling we went three days without stopping from the tirfo of the dare to innohand so rashi says what were they complaining about they had stayed at our sinai for nearly a year they were in one place they just left the ultimates ryan they can't never see that but they're they're there nearly a year and then they start traveling they go three days without rest so haim says what do you mean they went three days without rest but actually just the people earlier said that they only traveled one day as she just said earlier and this is both are free so there's no no they both come the same source mahalo and now they say what is three days in our resting studio to rashes so kind says advice does that they traveled three days worth of traveling defeats us haderith is a nation's man they travel three days worth of traveling like you use up the hours worth of gasoline on your way up the football players that are from your shrine to neighborhood when they got there it was it was only a short period of time it was only one day see brings around that that's how pizza cider works and again in the time of the crowds it's a it's a one-and-a-half lines but this study says that that frieza said there works that your traveling is the same if i care it explains why they were so upset that they traveled three days without resting because they traveled one day but it was a three-day traveling it fell to their bones and and their and their traveling it felt like three days it was three days of traveling the distance was three days of travel miraculously it took one day so mama that's how frieza said there a horse kasha is why why is everybody shalom do it that way why should i code sparkle is giving pizzas but the claw is a miracle that they should get there quickly sir what does the kurdish borough make if goshbar who wants it to come in one day why do they have to have three days worth of schwepping like you have you have a claire how the miracle happened but by aka the sparrow that god can do the miracle this way or that way why would it be why would be and then say no you'll save you the time but to slap you have to slap you have to bother you have to go through the whole the whole tariff generally in life when we do things we look at the end purpose of the things that we're doing we look at the topless of the things that we do we do things for a reason we travel we travel for the purpose of arriving at our destination if we work hard to to earn money so we look at the end purpose of doing our job and getting paid in life things are rarely measured by the difficulty by the challenge by the sweat things are really measured by the result that's the way we are the americans are used to sports statistics there are no statistics for effort the statistics are only for results how many home runs how many shout shutouts how many wins because we live in a life where we're practical we're pragmatic we have to get things done but is that really the measure of a person is the matter of measure of a friendship how much a person does for you or is the measure of a friendship how much devotion how much dedication how much someone is willing to go through a tearful through bother for you what's real in a relationship the result or the effort what's real in a marriage is what's real in a marriage the result is what's real in a marriage that the supper is exactly what you want or is it the devotion the dedication the effort let's put into it relationship is not based on results when beings don't relate one to the other based on on the results of the things that they did that they tried to do relationships are based on dedication devotion terrorism selfish someone who who goes out of his way beyond the call of duty on your behalf somebody who does something he doesn't have to do that that's a relationship that's a connection the nishama is not measured by the result that he achieves in the neshama is measured by the effort to tariff it we know that we know that sadiq is locked after the person who did something that resulted in a particular number of block learnt or this was done is it a serious netflix it's a devotion it's the pushing oneself the turja is really the measure of a person's success what's a real relationship it's measured by terrifying what's a real marriage measured by devotion what's a real life measure by effort the mysterious language there's a person in brooklyn who had a very difficult time he had six children and three of them were the wafflederes type giving them a rug for the money giving a very very difficult time he went to another government and he he was very frustrated he complained he said you know i didn't ask god for six children if god had given me three children i'd be perfectly happy these three children there they take all the packages out of me they take all the all the joy out of my life and this other novel told them you're a fool you know before you were born in heaven they said you your job in this world is to be matriarch with three challenging children economists well your job is to be to have three challenging children and do do what you can and one of the angels said god you only get to give him three challenging children not give him a little office survival the three easy subscribe if you're measuring this your job in this world by seriousness by tearful by devotion to rabbi shalom by pushing yourself by doing what's on then you understand that the challenges are the parts of life that really count a person's connection to torreira personal connection to the rabbi shalom is measured and the seriousness a devotion is a miracle in islam for three days because schwab's not going to take that away from you he's not going to take it away from you the terror is what it's all about the exclusive going there it's australia and being a triathlete and going through the mid bar there is a ruler because you're not going to take away the terraform if you think tirafa is only well in order to get there you have to be retrieved the idea is getting there then the cash is a cash but if you understand that the turf is what it's all about the effort the sweat the toil is what it's all about it's a different story and it's uh then yeah i'll take away the terraform is what's supposed to be it's what's supposed to happen it's a message it's a message in the journey of life that the turkish are not side inconveniences not at all whatever comes our way that's challenging is what it's about what really really counts there's a passage in the jewish people there was a farmer in erits israel in the time of the base of nigdesh he had a farm up north and it came time to be at the eagle so three other eggo he got his wife and his family together and they hitched up their wagon they put in the suitcases and headed headed down the from from the north to your shelagh on the way the farmer says to his wife you locked up the barn didn't you he says i locked up the barn it's your job to lock up the barn says you know i kept the barn all the animals someone's going to steal it we have to turn around we got to go back then he says to himself you know what the torah says that when you're either reggae your things will be safe so he swallows hard he says okay we won't turn back goes a little further he tells his wife yeah but the house you locked up right and you close the windows you locked the doors she says this wasn't my drive to lie it's your job to lock the doors see i don't like the house either they suddenly have to go back he stops and he thinks he says look at me nobody's gonna nobody's gonna hashem is again his father's heart and he he has been talking and he keeps on traveling and finally he comes to jerusalem he sees the best in its glory and he's he's elevated he runs he runs into the he runs through the mikvah quickly and runs through the base of miguel she tells his wife we go in the women's entrance i'll go on the men's side and i don't know where they parked in those days but they had a parking lot then they parked his wagon and they runs into the base amygdala she takes off his shoes he go on the basement his shoes he runs into the base of english and suddenly he forgets his chickens and he forgets his animals and if he gets his and he's lifted up he's elevated he's he's he's in the ghanaian he sees the kindness is everything suddenly if he gets there who says to him how wonderful is your trip when you were wearing shoes so by wearing shoes it's elevated in the base of english so that's wonderful the best of me is your elevator but the measure of the person when you were on your way and it was sweaty and it was out and the kids were crashing and you were going to the base of ignacio and you remembered you left your house open you left your barn unlocked and you went with batokin that's the measure of a person i'm serious nefish the challenge that a person has on the way life is full of challenges we see the challenges as inconveniences it's very very difficult very very hard i read you have palm used to say that in the biographies of the signing it tells how for one year in his adolescence he was sick he couldn't learn a whole year instead he helped take care of the mikvah take care of different things in the town but used to say what do you think it means he was sick it means the way you either palma said in the additional way remember he said today you know i don't know if you call it ocd or depression or or stress i don't know i can't say about the sky and i won't say anything i can't diagnose the hottest time but he was so driven in a vital session that it was a year where the doctors told him not to learn he wasn't allergic to learning his nerves were he went through challenges he became a puppet but he went he went through challenges you know the palm said it's like missing in the biography it only tells you about when he was in oldham goggle but in the basement she used to speak he used to say upon the huffington went through such a year he went through a year with challenges he didn't become the sky and despite the challenges he became the huffington because of the challenges the tierca the traveling that's what it's all about that's what it's about what someone does with the turfassader if that which is supposed to do then is it centered if a person gets to the destination that he has to be he gets where he wants to be we're coming up on 50 years who is the longest serving student in this yeshiva it's me i'm coming since 97. it's 25 years most people graduate by that they move on to the mirror or somewhere else unfortunately i'm only coming in the suburbs and my business mounted but i'm here for 25 summers i believe except to covet summer when i could not come and i've been amazed by a lot of the young men i've met here over the years and seen from year to year their progress it's an amazing issue soon to move to a new fancy basement dish i'm sure the bachelor will make sure it doesn't look fancy for too long it's a place of pizza there i want to tell you a lot of people struggle on the road a struggle with difficulty but it's like it's a satire when people get in a relatively short amount of time it's all because the it's a horror that says that doesn't belong you don't understand that the turf is what it's about to complain one of my earliest close experiences with about children actually goes back to someone i met in the 80s they come to eric's australia and came back to america he struggled with the learning very very much as close with him he used to come to us for champions he struggled very very much and it hurt him you saw young children that were able to rattle off gemara it was very hard for him i want to tell you he never really made it learning-wise he cried he struggled tearful most of his learning today is sure because he finds it hard to make a lightning and it's many years later but i'm saying to know his children he has two sons sitting and learning the language one of them just had his first child while i'm here in eretz israel and when i see them diving and they're learning i'm thinking about all his tearful all this you know kritsa said there a lifetime is not so long he came here he was a sailor in a submarine in the u.s navy and they had a two-week break and they docked another bold people asked him what it meant he was jewish he had no idea he didn't know the out of days you can't do so that's not here it's not cliche from 1980 to today it's 40 years the mid-80s a little less than four years it's not eric and one generation he has children striving and learning from what from the tier of the road from the tears and the effort underway that's how life is about it's not tearful it's not about results not a baseball game it's no matter who won at the end it's about the terrifying the effort that people put in this yeshiva is the yashima of frieza saderiff tremendous creatures are there yeshiva with seriousness i can't say that i was maestro nefesh at any time entire vid i grew up from i entered yeshiva in third grade and i'm still there still there it's been a few years even got a job there see there's no fish it's here it's really here mr sneffish the pushing i can't tell you that in the years that i'm learning there were in times of self-doubt times of wondering times of pain when you don't remember the things you learned just this morning we all know what that means but that's the tier there that's the effort that goes into it and that's what it's all about rav schwab writes he quotes the guru to build a guardian apparently it's a well-known right so i did the first time he says he shamed the guru that the questions in the world those powers of ram of evil are diminished in every generation in the goddess that in yin is my sin efficient and the powers of shaydem and of kishoref and krejcicom have been diminished every time throughout the generations that someone was messing a fish now schwab writes again shane degraw that when the gear of rhonda avrom was burnt at the stake the satova related to one who doesn't wash neglect in the morning were diminished and what exactly that means we still wash in the morning but somehow the guru from his lofty place was able to see what was going on it didn't happen because people finished more blood it didn't happen because people memorized more mishnais it happened because of the seriousness so my message to you is what i've come to admire here in osamaya don't belittle the difficulty in the traveling don't let the sweat of the road the self-doubt the times that a person feels sad a person misses certain conveniences don't think that your average hashem is despite that no the avoid is hashem is that they have to keep a gold in mind you won't succeed in your learning unless you have goals you have to have goals of learning a finishing of knowing just like claudia israel had the goal of entering eretz israel the goal was to get in territory israel the feats of sandera from him was they should get terrorists israel but since it's all about the terre haute that's why the territory could not be taken away with the of it could not be taken away coven in the united states or at least in the new york area was most heavily felt during during the pesach period last year based on period last year people had pesachidor with spouses in the hospital without children or grandchildren was very very difficult and i remembered one balshampton story that gave people hey i want to share it with you there's a bashante story about it yet in russia but pesach was coming he decided that he's going to have the pesach the best place i've said there since they brought till then since then came in they said he created the microcreation and he prepared he spent money on good food he invited he prepared the retirement and that's what happened it was pesach night and they had a cider and there was a say that they could feel the angels all night literally till the morning till they went to davenates you know a beautiful de verita arguing over learning the matzah no everything everything beautifully done came the second night of pesach he was exhausted came home he told his wife you know what tonight we're having to say to just the family so let me lie down for an hour and uh and then we'll have to save her i won't be i can't do it this way he went to sleep his wife went to wake him in hours she couldn't light him you tried to know your wife another hair found all night she's parting and pushing it you're not waking up finally it's it's almost it's in my creation chakras again finally she dumps him out of bed put some water on his head and says you know you only have another another half an hour until there's a shocker he jumps up full of tears and he runs he says how do you do a saint in 30 minutes but i say the main part of you know i said hidden quickly and then the main part of the agoda and then we got we have to watch to eat the carapace don't eat the cabbage he ate the mats in the face does he have a matzo and the character fizz they have your kyrah and the sugar lyric was just a small piece of meat and he ran he threw a whole thing the tears were falling down his eyes if there's such a such a pace i say that to come to such a place i'll say that hawaii he went to the rabbit he went in about when he walked in they've told him your peso sailor when it was pale when it caused in heaven it was an incredible cider in heaven everyone noticed it he's beaming the bashante says what you did the second night of pesach was an incredible savior he says no rebel you mean the first night of pesach was nice you're full of yourself you're full of pride full of guy even you enjoyed it it's good you did it right it was one but the second night the second night you had no personal joy in it all you wanted to do was what the ravanashan commanded you if you could quit booking what do you have to do and you quickly ate them just to shame it you did that the second night ah that was pile in chennai that caused beautiful views notice beautifully in heaven you don't always see it that way we dabble from pizza zadera we want to get to the result as soon as we can but don't be little deter don't belittle the bumps on the road life is bumps your bumps on every road don't belittle it once you get to middle age you get a little older so people think all right from the set path did i'm not reacting anymore don't see a snapfish anymore i just don't self pilot that's why i come here i'm trying to meet some people here they're pushing themselves spain is mad and they're quite crowded here all the time but they achieve the more inspiration am i over the i still hill some seriousness left in me i can still push myself to still accomplish more that's what it's about so it's very strange i'm here and there it's israel being on him if it does not know back in america i agree it makes no sense i'm not certain why i'm going to get on a plane and head back to yeshiva other people but still not sure why i'm doing it your shaving is beautiful the tower of yerushalayim philip you shall lie in the air of yerushalayim the connection of yerushalayim is nowhere else it's only here it's only here you walk the streets everything out of the air i appreciate it i'm not here all the time do you appreciate it incredible incredibly it's a place of the closet for granted which will be heading shortly to be able to greet the shiatsu navy should step in for davening in this newest base meditation you shall i mean kaidish we should decide for all of us to have fizzy sanders in the here thank you you
