What is it that the Yvonim tried to
destroy?
What was it that they wanted to
eradicate? This was not a gulos where
they tried to destroy us physically.
They wanted to eliminate and extinguish
the spiritual light that we have within.
And in Alanim are very clear what they
wanted to accomplish.
They wanted
to forget the Tory. The Yvonim
understood good and well that the light
and the beauty of Tyra is what allows us
to survive.
If they could eliminate that light,
they'd be able to destroy us.
Well, they weren't successful
because Kalis was able to rededicate
themselves. the were able to fight
against those forces to light the pan
and to light the
kazal tell us
is a light that represents tora shabal
a tora that is transferred from one
generation to the next and that light of
the mana has a mari a light that lasts
and lasts and lasts and never goes out.
The light of the mana, although we only
light it for eight days, is the light of
Torah that continues to burn brightly
within.
It's a light that allows our families to
be able to continue to live a life of
Tyra, a life of limaty, a life of Ms for
Tyra.
And in a large part, it's due to you, to
Shalohi, those who are willing to give
every day to this incredible, priceless
cause.
I grew up on Bender Road in Cleveland,
Ohio. And down the block from me, there
was a Yid, a tire,
a very short man. His name was Rabbi
Yundiff. Rabbi Yundiff was a
but I remember Rabbi Yundiff as somebody
who hummed the sweet sounds of Tory. I
can vividly recall him sitting in a
chair and his feet did not necessarily
hit the bottom of the chair to the
floor,
but he had the sweetest humming of Tyra.
He had a difficult life. He lost a child
in the fire and tells Yeshiva on New
Year's Day 1963.
But the beauty of his smile glowed from
him through the Tory
bes at the very end of his life he was
in a nursing home and as sometimes
happens
his mind was not there.
It was not as sharp as it once was.
And one day his son told me he walked in
to visit his father and his father who
was the sweetest man was agitated.
Something was bothering him. Something
that he could not quite express.
But his son knowing what really made his
father at peace.
His father asked him, "Tata,
father,
you want to learn?"
And he said, "Yeah,
but what can a man like that learn
anymore? Can't learn the gimra that he
once did?"
They opened ash and they began to learn
the beautiful sweet
words of the Tyra like a young child.
And they read a few psukim, "Father, do
you want to learn more?"
Yeah.
And as he continued to learn, all of
that aggravation and agitation that he
had experienced, everything that was
upsetting it,
suddenly
it dissipated. It disappeared. And once
again, that calmness and the smile and
the sweetness was restored.
They tried to get us to forget the Tyra,
but they did not realize that through
our connection to Tyra, we will never
forget the Tyra.
It's that very essence of who we are
that allows us to continue
to remain connected and to never forget.
We knew the secret. We knew the secret
of the sweetness of Tyra. And that's
what you do every day. Shali continuing
to support that beautiful recipe from
the recipe for happiness and joy in each
one of our lives. May we be to this
experience that sweetness and may that
sweetness stay with us forever.
