Ancho looked out of the window, out of
his room to see a site that he was also
familiar with. The city streets that he
grew up in years in and years out. But
something looked different. First of
all, the streets were extremely busy.
Plus, they were very mush, very
decorated, very beautifully oriented.
They were made with lights outside.
Flowers were put out. and he didn't know
what
my he what was the difference between
today as opposed to
yesterday. After thinking about it for a
while, suddenly he realized in his head
that
maybe it could be and he went out and he
took out the he took out the calendar in
order to see what day it was and he says
yes today is Sunday. He realized that
yesterday was Shabbat and that's why
things were so quiet. LA yesterday as
opposed to today things are moving,
people are around, people are going. as
he was his hands were shaking as he
realized that he's already gotten maybe
to an age where he doesn't even remember
the difference between Shabbat and he
seems to already be starting to forget
and be getting what we call the of the
sickness of forgetfulness and
understanding that there seems to start
being a big gap between what he sees and
what he remembers what he thinks and
what he observes. He started realizing
that maybe things are getting a little
bit advanced to him and he started
saying to
himself people are I remember the days
when people would come to you and you
would decide their salaries. you were a
very important person that was that set
a very important precedence. But no, no,
here it is. You're starting to become
elderly. The age is starting to kick in
on
you and what's going to happen? Why am I
so nervous? Why was Anchel so nervous
about this? What bothered him about a
little bit of his elderly age? Because
Angela already knew quite
well that there was someone known as Mut
and that the late Salem in the door, the
people outside when they start realizing
that Angel is starting to be forgetful.
He was afraid that they would summon Mut
in order to come to him. You're probably
wondering who is this Mut? Well, Mut is
the person that comes and takes away the
elderly people and never brings them
back again. He takes them to a place
where they go and until Mashiach comes
and brings them back they remain there
for a long time and and Ana was very
very afraid of Mut coming away and
taking him away from his learning from
his oldtime past of work from his family
from his wife from his he was a person
that was always interested in trying to
do Hashem's will but when MTO comes
that's all going to come to a close now
we have to know that Anchel was a very
happy person. He always had a smile on
his face. He was a person that was
always very
positive. But the problem with when a
person gets older is sometimes when
people get older that smile seems to
wither. It seems to slowly disappear.
And when a person doesn't have a smile,
so then the sima which usually comes
hand in hand, the happiness, the glee,
the place of satisfaction that a person
usually has goes together with that
smile. And therefore, Ancha was very
scared and afraid because of this pit of
zikna, of this el of this older age that
the happiness that he was used to would
come to an end. Newness, freshness, and
awakening is always a good thing for all
of us. We're always looking for
something new. But for elderly people
sometimes newness and freshness is not
always so fresh because it usually means
that maybe mut is on his way to come and
take him to his new place to stay. That
was Anchel's way of thinking and fear
led to worry and he didn't know what to
do except to call his dear and important
wife that he loved so much Fa. He went
and invited Fuma to be able to come to
be able to speak to
her and he asked he said you know he has
a kabali as a tradition from his
house and he knew that always the woman
was the address
for to be able to get realma you go to
the address of your wife and therefore
he went to ask her about why the streets
are dressed outside so beautifully and b
what's going on with my forgetful
fulness. Am I already starting to forget
everything that I
have? So before we continue, we want to
explain to you who this FA is. Furma was
the wife of Anchel who in the days of
Yor had something that we are a little
bit less familiar with back then. Back
then there was an idea of isha is a
woman and a man were goof. They were
literally one bond where they wanted to
be very much to do the of the
other. Her rats was always to be like
the rats of her husband to make him
happy and always to be able to give him
whatever he needed in order to satisfy
his uh in order to satisfy his happiness
or his curiosity in order to make him
okay.
These days it's a little bit harder for
us to relate to such a phenomenon
because of course we are people with
opinions with personal interests with
our own wants. Of course we all get
married but to get to the stage of what
we call gof of true love to the stage
that from
anal it's a little bit sometimes beyond
us to
understand. But we are a little bit
beyond much more intelligent than those
people back then. And due to our
intelligence, we end up having our own
personal opinions which leave us in a
little bit of our own state. Not
necessarily. But since their
relationship was
a relationship which was not tully in
anything except for each other. So Fumma
came and was very happy to come and help
her husband to take care of what he was
worried about and that was the K of Fuma
a very intelligent lady to be able to
do. She answered her husband immediately
and she told him, "Well, my
auntel, let me tell you until now this
the sickness of Mahala, the Sar this uh
angel that brings in the power of
forgetfulness, he hasn't come to the
town. You haven't heard about him. You
haven't seen him." So, what happened
today that yesterday? What should have
changed? And I'm going to tell you why
in our history we haven't seen this
angel known as the angel of
forgetfulness. And that is
because he only comes when people are
worried about him coming. He feeds off
of panic and fear and intrepidation and
worry. That's what he feeds off of. Now,
who's scared of this of this
forgetfulness to hit and come into that
into town? Of course, it's only the ones
who are extremely wealthy who don't want
to forget about their money. It's the
ones who have a tremendous amount of
power who don't want to forget about
their position. It's ones who are very
important and of a high esteem who don't
want people to forget who they are. And
because of that fear, suddenly the angel
of forgetfulness comes and kicks in. But
don't worry, Anchel, we're poor. We
don't have that. We don't have the
cavod. We don't have the honor. On the
contrary, we have a certain amount of
yurim, a little of pain and anguish that
we've gone through. We have nothing for
him to take
away. On the contrary, sometimes
forgetting is good for us. So in as much
as it's good for us, why would he come
and encounter our town and try to make
us forget? For some people, for what
some people is a sickness such as for
the rich people, for some people is and
for other people will be the raffa.
It'll be the medication. It'll be
what'll fix us up. Fix us up for us.
It's good. And therefore, he has no
interest to come to our town where we
don't have any people like that around.
And therefore, Anchel, don't worry about
it. He's not going to come. And just
like he hasn't been around in the past,
he's not coming right now. Anel stopped
and he looked at his wonderful wife and
he
said he was so happy
that gives to people and especially that
one of those people is my spouse. He was
so happy that she knew exactly how to
appease him, how to answer his questions
so poignantly, straight to the point and
correctly and the great that his wife
has. And he again thought a thought that
passed by his mind many times that I
don't deserve to have such a wonderful
woman as my wife. I have no money. I
have no power. I'm just a very simple
old man. I don't really have it. And
here I have such a splendid person to be
my spouse. That's what Anchel
thought. He was so happy that he really
forgot already what he even asked her in
the first place. only with a little bit
of time when it passed by slowly but
surely Anel remembered wait I remembered
what I wanted to ask my wife I didn't
even remember what she was trying to
answer but now he remembers what he
really wanted to ask and that is he went
back and he asked but why Verma are the
streets outside decorated so nicely why
did they make all these flowers and
lights and a nice entourage outside the
streets are awaiting as if France Ysef
the Kaiser maybe he's coming to town is
the king or someone very important
passing by our small littlestut our
small little city in order to pass by is
that was
happening now from couldn't lie to her
husband she loved him too much to do
such a thing she had to be extremely
honest but at the same time it wasn't so
easier for her to speak out the words
that she was about to speech speak
because she knew that one thing will
lead to another and one question will
lead to another because you have to know
Ancho was a curious guy, a good guy, but
he had a lot of curiosity and sometimes
when a person is very curious and has
questions and answers and questions are
not always answered, it can lead to
something that we know is anger,
frustration, irritation. It can lead to
someone getting out of his box because
he just has to know. Because people who
are people who are people who love
intelligence, love knowledge, love
facts, sometimes they just want to know
what they want to know. So Furma went
ahead and told her beloved husband,
there's a person named Tuvia Gold Turvia
Pearlstein who's coming to town and
that's why they decorated all the
streets. Who's Tulia Pearlstein? Is he a
big king? Is he some Kaiser? Is he an
apprentice? Is he a prince? What is this
person that they're doing so much for
him? Is he someone? No. No. He's a Jew
who is born a Jew and has always been a
Jew. He's not someone of high power and
high position. He's someone who is a
violinist. He's a violinist. He
said as she said those words that he was
a
violinist, he started noticing Anchela
looked on her face and noticed a face
that looks like a face when Mut comes to
town. It looked to her like she was
scared from Mut from the death plague
that was happening. He didn't understand
why she was so nervous to tell him about
this violinist. He said, "What is he?
Can you explain to me what's he?" She
said, "Well, I'll tell you this
violinist is not just a violinist. He's
a specialist. He's the number one
violinist in the whole entire Poland. In
all of Poland, there is no one better
than him. He is the top of the land.
He's professional. He is chosen. He is
the one that goes from place to place.
And that's why they clean the streets
for him. They organize and prepared for
him to come like someone of such a
position."
uh when s such a position of such an
important person deserves to have such
an entourage such a such a kabal panim
that's why he
did anchel started noticing that fa was
actually shaking and shivering really
her legs wanted to take her out of the
room and run as fast as she can but to
run out of a room you need to have some
type of vehicle to get you out you need
to have some type of legs and her legs
were moving and shivering so fast that
they couldn't move. In addition to the
fact that she knew that her husband
needed to know this information and
because of her understanding of her
wonderful husband, she felt that she had
to go ahead and deliver the message that
he was asking.
And she said, even knowing where she was
leading herself, I will do like the hand
of the daughter of parro of bat parro
that she stretched out her hand and left
everything else up to reach for. I'll do
what I know
is I'll have to do what I'm going to do,
but after doing that, I hope that I will
be in the hands of and he'll be the one
that can go ahead and help
me. So seeing this fear and
interpretation immediately said tell me
what is this violinist playing
mahuen what does he play what is it that
he's playing that gives him all this
cavod what makes him so
important that was the question that she
was afraid of she knew that she got
herself into a pickle and she didn't
know how to answer her husband she
couldn't leave but at the same time she
couldn't answer. She started sighing
under her breath and he noticed a little
bit the side. But in order to avoid him
having pain for him grow from from her
groaning and from her turning pain, she
turned aside. She turned her head to the
side so that he would not be able to see
her size her side. You might be asking
me at this stage, what difference does
it make when a person turns to his face
to the side and if he's still cons
continuing to groan or to make noises, I
could still hear you. Well, here's a
very important piece of information
which we haven't told you yet. And that
is that Ancho has been deaf from the day
he was
born. He's a person whose cap a uh his
auditory capabilities have been in have
been incapacitated from the day he was
born and has never heard a sound in his
life. He could only hear her size
through her
lips. He can only see what she says when
she is turned towards him and he's able
to read the sign language or her lips at
the same time. And that as you already
can understand is the problem that from
she wanted to explain to him mahu again
what is he playing but she push couldn't
tell it to him she couldn't tell him the
s of the the secret of what lies
behind the music and the
melody and asal tell
us again is just as good as just like
when you go ahead and say something
sometimes It's better not to say
something from a knew by not responding
that that's going to put the fault in
her place. That's going to put the fault
in her lap. But she loved her husband
too much to put the fault in his lap.
She didn't want it to be his blemish,
his m. That's the problem. She was
willing to stay quiet and not answer the
question and leave it to her peril, to
her situation that it'll end up being
her fault instead of his. And she was
right. In the end of the
day, frustrated as Ana was because he
realized that she didn't want to tell
him and answer his very simple
question again. What is he playing? What
is he doing that people are giving him
so much covet? What is this great thing?
He said, "I'm very upset. Why are you
doing this to me?" And suddenly Anchel
said things that people who love each
other don't say to each other. He said,
"You've become old and now you already
started acting and quiet and not being
vocal to me like you're supposed to do."
What happened to the tisha that Kazal
told us? Tisha that women have to
talking and suddenly you're keeping
quiet. Do I look like a fool in your
eyes? Do you not respect me for who I
am? You think that I'm just I'm foolish
just because I don't have any auditory
capabilities, just because I'm deaf. I
don't need you. I don't need the
statements that you tell me. Stop having
pity on me and stop speaking to me in
the way that you're speaking. I will
have nothing of it. I'm going to go to
the concert. You're gonna see I'm going
to the concert with that violinist Tuvia
Pearlstein and I'm gonna come back and
tell you exactly what he is playing. And
with that he walked out of the house.
His wonderful wife from all the way. And
as we all know tell
us person should be always careful from
oppressing your
wife because when you end up giving
tears to
her danger comes into the
house. As Anchel stepped out of the
house, he went and immediately went to
wait in line by the ticket booth to buy
tickets for the concert for the great ch
for the great trivia pearl scene that
was coming to town. He went over and he
was waiting in line and everybody in
line started whispering one to the next.
What is Anel, the deaf person have to do
at a concert? Someone should explain to
them maybe there's a play coming to town
soon. You could go watch a play, but
what can you do at a concert? What?
What? What is he doing here? He's going
and buying tickets. This is absolutely
foolish. What is he doing? But don't
worry. I think you were worried that
maybe Anchel is overhearing everything
that they said. Everybody knew to turn
their faces one to the next and not to
face Anchel so that they couldn't so
that he couldn't
read their lips. And he never heard the
words that was being interacted between
one and the next.
Anchel after buying his tickets, he w he
walked through the ticket gates and he
went through the gates. They were all
handing out some type of pamphlets in
the beginning. Everybody was taking
their seats on the benches in the arena,
the small arena in the town that was
located over
there. And he sat down. He couldn't help
but notice the beautiful different
lights that were all around. the special
lights to have a light almost a hundred
years ago was a tremendous uh tremendous
facility. There was something very
extra. Nobody had lights in their
private
houses. And here it was in this special
place. They were able to have these very
special colored lights with a nice
screen in the background. And then
everything went dark and suddenly
entered the great Tovia Pearlstein, the
violinist, the greatest one in Poland.
Everyone stood up and all started
clapping. Anchel following the crowd did
the same thing. Everyone sat down and he
and this is what Anchel noticed. He saw
a beautiful wooden casing with gold
wrappings around it that he opened up
and removed from the beautiful casing
what we know as a violin. He took a long
rod known as a bow that was that was
there. He put of course the violin under
his chin and suddenly Anchel notice he
started sharpening the bow on top of the
violin. He was watching him sharpen and
sharpen and sharpen just like Moshe the
knife sharpener in the city was
sharpening. Now Mosha the sharp knife
sharpener in the city was no one
special. No one ever decorated the the
city for him and no one ever bought
tickets to watch him sharpen knives. and
he's watching Tobia Pearlstein sharpen
this wooden contraption and trying to
figure out what is he doing? What is
this thing? He started realizing that it
could be this guy is what we call a
farce. He was a faker. He's someone that
goes ahead and takes money from people
for doing not much more than just
sharpening his bow. And he was starting
to get a little bit frustrated.
Out of pure boredom, he decided to look
around to the side to the crowd to see
if they were as frustrated as he was.
And he started looking at people and
there were tears dripping from the eyes
of many, many of the people listening to
what was going on as if Mut was coming
to town. He knows that face. That's a
face that looks as if you're almost on
death. As if Mut is on his way. and he
couldn't understand what stands in front
of this contraption that is causing
people to cry. Maybe he realized, "Oh, I
know what the shot is." Maybe it's
because they realize that they were
taken advantage of. They paid a lot of
money for nothing and everyone's crying
and upset about the situation that
they're in, just like me. Could be. He
waited a few more minutes and eventually
he went back and started looking at
people's faces. And guess what? People
were smiling. People were happy. People
were even waving a little bit their
hands to and fro to be able to look at
that. And he said, "Maybe I I I I just
don't know what this is." Before they're
crying and now they're happy. What is
going on here? Is there something rish
can't figure this out? Until
eventually after an hour and a half, the
whole entire shebang was over. People
stood up with a standing ovation. People
were screaming encore, encore in
Yiddish. And then the lights went out
and Tubia Goldstein, Turia Pearlstein
went to the back of the stage and all
the stadium exited out the front door.
Incredible. Everybody exited except for
one person, Ancho. He stayed there
bewildered, confused, and still
realizing I can't go back to Furma
because I don't know Mahuman again. What
is this man playing? He realized that he
was stuck and didn't know what to do. He
said, "I have no choice but I'm going to
go back behind the curtain and try to
see if I can meet this person, this
violinist."
He went behind the scene in the behind
the curtain over there and he saw Turbio
Pearlstein there sitting, you know, a
star behind there all by himself. His
whole forehead was full of sweat. He
was, you know, wiping his brows away and
he was trying to polish his violin at
the same time and taking care of what he
needs to do. when he was drinking a cup
of water with the same hand that he was
playing the violin just a few minutes
before. Tubia looks at Anel. He looked
at him and he said, "New Adoni,
new sir, how did you like my spiel? Did
you have ho? Did you enjoy it? How was
it? It was nice. Did you get out of it?"
Now, let me be frank. Anchel is a very
straight person. He never lies. when
things have to be said, he says it like
it needs to be said. He's not going to
fake and be a Rami. And he realized that
this person took a lot of money and
didn't do very much to deserve that
money. Not much more than Moshe the
knife sharpener does in the city. He
really wanted to tell him off for doing
such a thing. But he decided to
introduce himself by seeing this. He
said, "Look, sir, I have to tell you
something. I am a person that yes, I've
been deaf from the day I've been born. I
don't have
any auditory capabilities, but I do want
to tell you I'm normal like everyone
else. I'm a very intelligent person. I'm
very smart and no one can pull a fast
one on me. I have a lot of cognitive
capabilities. I'm very smart. You should
know. Just because I can hear doesn't
mean that I'm not smart. And maybe you
can go ahead and tell me what this
wooden contraption, this piece of wood
that you're carrying over here did that
caused all these people to go ahead and
cry during this this concert, during
this whole time that caused all these
people to pay so much money to be able
to come and watch while you
sharpen while you sharpen your fiddle.
Can you please explain to me what what
was going on? He says, "Look, I'm not
asking to make you feel bad and I'll
leave to make you feel like something
I'm saying anything wrong. Just listen.
I have a wife in my house. Her name is
FA and I promised her that I'm going to
come back and explain
to what does this person play?" Because,
as you know, a husband has to have some
covenant in his house. He has to he has
to have honor and respect in his house.
And the only way by having honor and
respect is by respecting one's spouse,
respecting one's wife. And when there's
no respect between a husband and her
wife, then there's no house. And when
there's no house, there's no life. I
have nothing else to to understand more
than that. And therefore, it's very
important for me to be able to report to
her ma again. What are you
playing? Before we continue, I will tell
you one important piece that is said
over here in this story. And that is a
violinist at least back in the days of
your I don't know if this applies
nowadays and I doubt it does. A
violinist wears his
heart instead of inside his jacket on
his sleeve literally. That's really what
they play. They play their violin
because their heart is out on their
sleeve. It's out on their hands. And
that's how they're able to touch
audiences. Especially someone as great
as Pearlstein. He was able to get out to
people because his heart was out for the
people and because he loved the people
and therefore he connected to his music
for real, not just for the
income. Suddenly when he heard this
story, this heart that was standing on
the edge of his hands melted. It melted
so deep that he didn't know how to
answer the question Mahuman
again. And he realized that even though
I am the best violinist in Poland, I am
praised everywhere that I walk, I know
all the secrets of the violin, but I
could not answer Anchel. He could not
answer Anchel. What lies behind the
music that he was playing? Is it the
pitch? Is it the octave, the strings,
the notes? How am I going to explain to
him with my words? What goes
on? He suddenly took on the same pose.
Pearlstein took on the same pose as
Fumma did this morning. As Froma did
this morning, he had the same problem
and he wasn't able to respond to Anel,
the answer to the ever the ever benown
question that he was asking him. And he
told him exactly what I said to you even
though I know so much and I know all the
secrets of the kora of the violin. I've
been through it all, but I can't answer
you. And I'll tell you, it's not because
I don't want to answer you, but he told
him because it just seems to be that
when a person is not able to hear, when
he's not able to utilize his cockia or
the hammer, the anvil that lies within
your ear, I cannot explain to you the
words of a niggon. It's just not going
to go. I don't have a way to explain it.
Ancho realized he reached a dead end. He
realized that he's not going to be able
to report to Furma what he promised he
was going to go back to do. And he
started thinking in his mind, maybe he's
going to have to go report to Mut. Maybe
it's time for me to go to Mut. My age
has gotten to me. My covet is not there
anymore. It's time for me to go. He
looked down in despair, not knowing what
to do, ready to turn around and walk
away. and he didn't notice that
Pearlstein was smiling. Now, why didn't
he notice? Cuz he wasn't looking at him
until Tubia tapped him on the shoulder.
He tapped Anchel on the shoulder and he
told him, "Anel, Anel, listen to
me. I told you that I can't explain to
you all the power of the niggan, but I
didn't tell you one important
thing." And that is why is it not
allowed for me to give you a present? It
should be okay to do that. But before I
do that, I want to tell you one thing
that is very important to
me. I'm not going to leave you without
anything. And I'm going to report to you
something important. But before I do, I
want to tell you something. I want you
to realize that a violinist's whole
entire life lies inside of his violin.
Everything that he lives for and his
heart lies in the violin. Everybody
else's nama, their soul is in their
breath or nishima, their soul. But by
me, my soul and my lifeline lies within
the violin. Especially someone as a as
specialist as me, especially someone
who's on the level that I
am. So maybe I can go ahead and respond
to your question and answer to your
question, Mah again. What is he playing
by giving you my violin? I will give you
this violin because I want to tell you
something because I realize that I can't
respond to you and answer you to you. I
can't give you an answer about what I'm
playing. I realize that maybe really I
just can't play anymore. Maybe my
capabilities of playing a violin is not
functional anymore and it's not for me
to do it anymore. Because if I
understood the real sod again of
maybe I would be able to explain it to
you
somehow. Anchel couldn't believe what he
was saying what he was hearing. Slowly
but
surely Pearl's team took out the violin
out of the case. He with a choking
voice, tears dripping from his eyes,
went over and handed over the violin to
Anchel as a present saying that now you
can go ahead and report to Furma that
you know the sort of the violin. Tell
her I know what he's playing and show
her the violin of Pearl and Pearl who
was the
greatest player in Poland.
It's impossible and the words fall off
of the page to start describing to you
the sim the gal the incredible happiness
and satisfaction that Anchel had at that
moment. He couldn't believe what
Pearlstein was doing. He bent over and
kissed the hands of Pearlines knowing
that in those hands lies his heart. not
even realizing at the time that he did
it that he actually gave Kawak he gave
strength back to Tuvia to be able to yes
go back and play again because now that
he went and kissed his hands he gave him
back the appreciation the understanding
that he cares about him very much and
understands who he was and Pearlstein
had now the capabilities yes to go back
and play but the problem is a violinist
cannot play without a violin if he
doesn't have one, it's not going to
work. There's something called a zeu
cheni. Sometimes you get married a
second time. His zeu gre was his first
marriage of course was this violin. This
violin which was so close and dear to
him but pearlstein went but uh but that
violin was no longer with him. Instead,
Anchel took it and
left, not really appreciating the device
as much as we as as could be
appreciated, and went out of the door,
walking as fast as he could to Fuma to
show her the answer to the question.
Mahu again, what is he
playing? Everybody in the city was up in
a roar in a tommo. People saw him
carrying
the famous fiddle, the famous violin of
Pearl, and everybody was trying to ask
him, "What's this? What's going on?
How'd this happen? What could it be? But
Anchel didn't talk to anyone because he
was devoted in dedicating to get to
Froma to be able to show his beloved
exactly the answer to this important
question on his way. Just like when
Alicia sent Geazi his servant to go and
he gave him the stick of the
resurrection of the dead and he told
him, "Don't talk to anyone on the way.
Go straight and resurrect to the person
that I'm telling you to go and
resurrect." that Gazi was not allowed to
stop on the way and if he did and he did
he got cursed but he was dedicated
Anchel to go ahead to his FMA and go
ahead and show what happened. He knocked
on the door went inside while she was
washing the dishes and he told her from
I have a surprise for you. Guess what?
Yes, Anchoa. What is it? While she was
in the middle of washing the dishes, he
says I spoke to the great violinist and
he showed me Mahumin again. He showed me
what he plays. She turned around and she
couldn't believe what she saw. It was
Pearlstein's Tvia Pearlstein's violin in
the hands of her dear husband Ancho. She
couldn't believe it. She knew exactly
what would happen. She understood the
whole story because as we said, Fuma was
a very intelligent lady. She was very
picat very very intelligent with a
beayer with a power of depth of
understanding and she knew exactly what
went on. But not only did she understand
the whole story what went on she
realized that Pearlstein just gave his
whole shama his life over to Anchel just
for the sake of doing the same thing
that she didn't want to do to make him
disappointed and sad and to come out in
a place where he would not have any
future.
She had tears in her eyes and she was
lacking breath. She actually started
gasping for breath. She couldn't believe
what she was
seeing. Ancho looks at his wife. He sees
what she's going. He looks at this
fiddle. He looks at this violin, this
piece of wood. And again, he wonders
what is in this piece of wood that makes
everyone cry. He looks upside down on
top. What makes everybody crazy about
this piece of wood? This casing. This
What's going on? I can't figure this
out. Again, bewildered. He's not
understanding what's happening. Now, of
course, Fuma, as they say, doesn't want
to let the cat of the bag. She doesn't
want to exaggerate or bring out any more
questions because it would just raise
more
curiosity. And therefore, she left it as
is the situation. Because like we said
before the people who love each other
they have the same dot and she wanted to
leave it in a state of appreciation. His
curiosity will not pull him anywhere
else and he will think at least that he
received an answer to Mah again to what
he actually is playing even though
obviously we all know that maybe
completely he did not receive an answer.
She gave him to eat and then eventually
they went to sleep the two of them and
she noticed after about an hour that he
was tossing and turning and tossing and
turning and as the der is for people who
care about one another when the spouse
can't sleep then she couldn't sleep
either. She opened a
candle. She lit a candle and she said,
"Anchel, what is it? What is it? What's
bothering you, Anchel? What's wrong?" He
said, "I'm so happy I finally have been
able to figure out Ma again. I've been
able to figure out what he's playing.
You answered all my questions about why
the city has become so decorated, but I
still can't figure out why he carries
this violin in such an important casing
that you only would carry a baby inside
of. He cradles it with such aminity,
with such love and passion. Why is it
Fuma, please tell me what it is that
lies inside of this piece of wood that
is so powerful that nobody's explaining
to me, so sort of to speak. FA, as we
said before, was a very intelligent lady
and she knew that it was enough just for
him to get it off his chest. She stayed
quiet and then eventually because of her
being
quiet, Anchel fell asleep. And when
Ancho fell asleep, Fuma also fell
asleep.
Also the balmto concluded this mushel
which is brought by Levy and he was this
mush is what David meant
in all the nations you shall
listen right before the giving of the
nation as we all know it was announced
to all the
nations gamb
My mouth is going to speak
in it will speak
about
but I will open with a violin my message
my mush what I am about to tell
you a a
melody unlike other things that we can
listen with our brain can only be heard
with the ears. Someone whose ears are
not functional cannot hear a melody. It
doesn't matter how intelligent or smart
you are. In the end of the day that
person, no matter how great the musician
and how intelligent the person will
never understand unfortunately what the
power of a melody is says the baltov
also when we have our questions about
when we have our questions
about
about things that puts in this world the
difficulties the good the bad why this
person why not that why that person this
why this happened to me why this person
that happened to them why each one
deserved his
So on that he says
the says the melody
of of divine providence and individual
providence that
lies that lies in the power of the
violin. It could be that that our ears
are a little bit deaf as the says over
there.
I'll try to open my ears and listen
because only the ears will be able to
understand the power of what lies
behind what lies behind the idea
of but not always does everybody know.
Pearlstey knew the secret of the niggan
and Furma knew the secret of the niggan.
But Anchel, as great a person as he was,
as sweet a person as he was, and as much
as he wanted to know and as intelligent
as a person he was, he still was not
able to hear the Not always are we
able to know what is all about and why
this happens. And not because as the
expression goes, sometimes it falls on
deaf ears. Sometimes we're not able to
hear.
as the over there continues. Sometimes
we're a person. We're very important,
but we're similar
to we don't always we're not always able
to see what we need to be able to see
what we're capable of
seeing. And what causes a little bit of
the deafness that goes in our ears? What
is the deafening sound that blocks out
the power
of? It's when we're surrounded by this
world. When we're succumb to this world,
when we give into things in this world,
when we're so surrounded by the gashmi
in this world,
suddenly we can't end up being able to
see what is going on around. There's
only one key that is able to open up our
ears to be able to listen and that is
the precious precious precious Tory that
a bar gave us. When pearlstein
pearlstein gave over that kor he was
giving over his life. When who gave us
his he gave over everything the world
the purpose of creation everything that
we're here for the everything all the
ideas the concepts the all the
cababalistic ideas and all the reasons
of why within the great Torah which he
gives
us that is around the
corner if they would look into the Torah
and understand as the target rights over
there they would understand what is the
future they would Understand as we have
a
part you know it goes through a partial
part about all the difficulties that we
go and what's the idea of cuz through
the of we can come to a deeper
understanding about the we can
understand a little bit more the ways of
hashem now of course we still have our
deaf ears and until the time of msiach
we will never have all the answers to
our questions we all know that is
obvious but it doesn't mean that we
can't hold the violin
Hold the violin, play it, live it, and
we might be able to connect it. Get rid
of the static and all the noise outside
in that world. Just like Anchel and his
beloved wife Fuma, were so connected.
One is the goof, one is the body, and
one is the nama. One is a representation
of our physical body, one is our sha.
The more you're able to put the goof and
the shama together, the more you're able
to remove the physical desires that
we're always chasing and stop running
around and chasing left and right that
everything that the world has to offer,
the physical world has to offer. You're
able to bond with your f from the an
angel and firm are able to bond
together. And when you have a love like
that, it's unbeatable. Everything is
there. And you're wondering how what's
the answer to all the questions? You
look at this wooden contraption and go,
"What is this? I don't understand.
What's the beauty? Why does it make
people cry? Why does it make people
smile? What lies behind this incredible
contraption?" But slowly but surely, if
we remove the deafening sounds that are
in our ears, we take the Torah, the
beautiful that gave us from his hands
that that was everything to him. Slowly
but surely, the answers start becoming
revealed. we start becoming more
connected. That's why we
find people who have no no connection to
at all. They
hate like we know said when he was he
wanted to bite them. And now we're
surrounded unfortunately with people
that can't stand. You know why? Because
they look at these people with a piece
of wood. They don't appreciate the
that they're praying. They don't realize
that these people are the best violinist
in Poland. They don't realize the beauty
of the niggan that they're playing, the
beauty of the melody, the sound, the
music that can mamish make a heart
whimper. It can make a person melt into
the sound of the melody. We're the only
ones that do understand it, utilize it,
take it, and appreciate the of for what
it's really made out of.
