Secret Code To Becoming A Miracle Worker - MUSSAR Iggeret HaRAMBAN (37)

[Music] uh we're back in um Torah doing our Tuesday night we're only a couple of away from completing this series uh we have this one more and then we're done uh so uh we'll uh think about some other things to do but I'm very uh you know excited to finish the series because I think this series is has covered a lot of round uh tonight's sh will be forat Ben matis um sadik that just left the world uh today lived a uh 101 years um in this world but uh years that uh were complete uh we'll talk a little bit more about him later today and actually see how he's connected to our also for for Leana SAR s Leana Doris David D Mercedes and all of have so the uh videos continue to uh reach new grounds new uh new places uh which uh it's more needed now than ever before because we're seeing that although this uh virus has scared the life out of a lot of people the world is little by little getting back to normal um which you know again one aspect of it is good one aspect of it is bad uh the good part is that people need to go back to their normal lives uh the bad part is is that I don't see think that uh we've done anywhere near as much chuva as we need to uh which means that uh hopefully people take whatever message they learned throughout this uh time that they're in uh quarantine and out of work and so on and hopefully they uh uh they retain that memory you know before make going back to what life used to be still not over there's still a lot more to go there's still the economic crisis that's uh pending uh there's still a lot of jobs lost a lot of things happening but uh you're seeing you're seeing for anyone that's paying attention you're seeing that there's definitely uh certain things that are changing the uh Governor over here in Florida uh bet in his foolishness opened up the beaches so people could uh uh canot go to sh but they could go to the beach uh you know so that's the uh interesting thing here in Florida uh uh in is they are starting to allow people to get together up to 19 people certain things are starting to get back to normal again we're very very far away from normal but you're seeing things uh in uh in France in Germany um few countries that uh feel that they have uh passed the worst of it are starting to open up a little by little um while other countries for example like India with nearly a billion and half people are uh at their worst part right now they've completely shut down the country and planning on keeping it shut for at least another month month and a half if not more uh so there's different parts of the world are are at different stages of this thing but better than anything else I think that uh this whole chaos that's happened over these last couple of months has caused many people uh to start thinking about life start thinking about you know what's the point of life why am I here uh you know and uh it's really a question that a person should ask themselves every day but uh many people unfortunately becomes slaves to the yet to the extent where the yet keeps them busy sometimes he's keeps them busy making sins sometimes he's keeping them busy working and doing other things that are just normal day-to-day stuff but they're generally not busy focusing on what's the point of life why am I here what am I supposed to be doing what's going to happen after and so on you know randomly they'll have what they call philosophical conversations with their friends and family asking you what do you think is going to happen hahhaa you know a few laps oh you think we're going to turn into trees oh you think we're going to go and become Spirits I'll be Superman you'll be Batman you know a little few drinks before you know it they had a conversation that went from one ear out the other and it's forgotten moments later um and the reality is that when it comes to the to the talk of uh what's the purpose of life there's there is no deeper subject uh but it's only if you actually address it so if you address it just as a conversation in essence you're just wasting time it's a conversation that could last for 5 hours but have no impact whatsoever on your life on the other hand if you you actually treat the conversation like a conversation that's going to impact you and you're going to do something with the conclusion you arrive to uh then the conversation has much different weight much more weight now the ran Shalom he wrote a letter to his son over 800 years ago that we've been reviewing over the last several months that uh not only discusses what's the purpose of of life but also what necessarily is going to happen after life and in essence the whole purpose of the letter is in order for the two to coincide where your purpose of life is going to impact your afterlife in a favorable way but not only that also impact your current life in a favorable way you see the many times I've told you guys that it's a real bad idea and that's what I learned from my R uh it's a really bad idea to be overly focused on mashia uh and quite frankly I mean say you shouldn't be focused on any one particular issue meaning if you're learning let's say or teaching every day about Shabbat it's good for a little while but then it becomes bad if you're learning about modesty every day that's all you're learning it's good in the beginning but then it turns into the bad if you learn about mashia every day in the beginning it's good get you out after a while it's bad why because once a person focuses on one particular issue he creates different problems the first problem is the fact that he's leaving himself no time or herself no time to learn anything else about life anything else about Judaism anything else about the purpose of life second of all after a while when you become obsessive about one particular subject you already start having a predisposition already a set mind of what will be and what should be which means that you now close yourself unintentionally to new information that challenges your existing information because you have focused so much a year two three four five years just focusing on let's say mashia then what happens is that as soon as someone tells you listen but you do realize that the rambam said such and such or that this one said such and such one of the sages said such and such that challenges what you're saying your whole five years is actually in question because there is a sage that's not just an ordinary Sage a very big one that actually says contrary to what you're saying now if a person is in his early stages of learning he's open to new information but if a focus if is only been on this one particular subject for so long that person is Clos mind it to anything new and that's a problem because that is one of the ingredients that the Satan uses in his soup he has a soup of that he has there a little fredman here a little dwick here a little gold brick here a little Sachs here all you know a little here it's a little you know seasoning yeah have all that now you only listen this one particular subject H you got yourself a soup why because you're not open to anything anyway you're not open to anything new anyway and that's a problem and that's why you'll never going to see any one of the major sages Focus his entire life on one particular subject now you could say yeah but wait a minute what about invested so much of his life into yeah but look at the's book or books that discuss that that series of books in essence covers the entire T it's not just yeah the foundational uh uh ground that it's standing on is but from there if you actually learn it you see that you could literally arrive at one of the branches of the entire T from there that's why it was so well accepted by the and so on because it didn't cover just one subject one subject you're finish it in a notebook but theim don't discuss things this way now when it comes to the purpose of life it's very critical that a person understand that the purpose of life is not just mashia and the reason why is because what do you do when it comes to people dying before mashia came did they live a purposeless life are you telling me that R AKA lived the purposeless life are you telling me that the rambam lived the purposeless life because you know mashia didn't come at this time are you telling me that all of the righteous people that have lived this far and pass this world this far because they didn't live at time you know purposeless life no obviously the second thing is is that if a person saying oh no there's going to be resurrection and so on okay but still if your whole life is just focusing on this one particular subject of mashiah the problem is is that you already start having set time frames in your mind where you already start to subconsciously say no no mashia is gonna come this year or the next couple years or this month or this PES every other day somebody comes up with a new deadline no this PES is coming guys get ready there's the WhatsApp spam guys get ready second day of PES mashia is coming all the rabbis said it you know they always say all the rabbis in the world said it all the big rabbis all of them all of them none of them but all of them said it on WhatsApp it's all of them all of them all of the big rabbis said it second day of PES get ready oh it's not no no he's delaying because he wants more people to do it's now it's going to be is going to come out of the fire it's going to meet mashiah which fire is going to pick oh the biggest one oh okay so it's G be you know no it's not not oh it's gonna be it's gonna be it's gonna be this it's gonna be that what is all this this turns the Torah into a joke it turns the Torah into a joke because people people start seeing all these yo-yos keep talking about mashia mashia they keep giving deadlines ah 2,000 years it hasn't come it's not going to come and it actually weakens people it weakens people the other aspect of it is that when people think that there's such a timeline and a date in essence it actually starts affecting their free choice and their willpower to do something about it because how much can you possibly do in a week how much can you possibly do in two months how much can you possibly do you're not a fight tell okay listen you got to do CH Mas is coming in a week what are you gonna do oh you're going to keep on Shabbat okay you kep one Shabbat what are you going to do in a week what can you possibly okay it's good you could do some stuff in a week but you really think that your whole 20 30 40 50 years of sins it's all going to be fixed in a week like you need a little more time than that so when you tell people no mashia is coming in a week or in a month in in in such time frames there's a reason why it's a alic forbidden to give a specific timeline to give a specific date more so because it actually impacts people's free choice where now they say listen Okay so I'll just keep this one Mitzvah I'll just do this one thing and they make the entire stand on one mitvah so okay so I'll keep Shabbat from now on or I'll keep this from now on fine but what about the rest of the stuff no no no listen MH is coming I don't have time for that the stuff yeah but what about your anger problem you're an angry person right yeah yeah but mashia is coming in a month I don't have time to work on my anger I'm just keeping Shabbat I'll be okay and that's the problem so what the teach us is that a person has to Essence pray believe in the 13 principles of Faith expect that the mhia is going to come no problem but more importantly than everything else more important than everything else live every day as the day do whatever you have to do today to be the best you can today with or without mhia coming in a week or in a month or in a year or in wherever you have have to live every day as day by day I today I have to be more generous okay I'm going to look at my pocket count a few dollars cut it in a half then I'm gonna okay fine I did something every day you got to do something as if whether he comes or not I'm still doing something every day and the key is to understand that this is a very very important principle that we must apply to our life because whether the mashia comes on or sh or whenever he comes we are going to be ready not because we're ready for that one day but because we've been getting ready every day and even if he doesn't come in the next year or two or three the reality is is that if you're working on yourself every single day you're already starting to see the reward of living as a Jew without the benefits of and so on why because when you work on your character traits and you have turned yourself around from being an angry gremlin to a person that's a little more calm a stingy Scrooge to a person that's a little more generous a a person that was arrogant into a person that's more humble and so on and so forth with all of your character traits and when you start keeping Shabbat and already for an extended period of time you've already kept Shabbat for a month two months 3 months 6 months a year two years 3 years you're already keeping Shabbat it becomes a significant part of your life you have a vacation once a week you look forward to it when you start keeping the mitv because you're supposed to do the mitv today not because Mia coming but because you're supposed to do today you already start yielding a benefit from it today and enjoying the life of a Jew and not being one of these robots that keep Shabbat there are many robots that keep Shabbat there are many monkeys that keep Shabbat many of them you're never going to see a monkey drive on Shabbat never but the reality is doesn't want you to just keep Shabbat because there's a specific deadline he wants you to keep the entire tah which means that we have to apply all of these things that we learn on a daytoday basis every single day but the ran tells us even that is not enough what I just said is not enough why because you got to enjoy it and there's a lot of people doing MIT but they don't really enjoy it very much they'll keep Shabbat why because they grew up in a religious house their parents say to keep Shabbat their wife says to keep Shabbat the husband says to keep Shabbat neighborhood that keep Shabbat so they keep Shabbat or they eat kosher because they live it's easy to get kosher why I'm going to go McDonald's I could just get uh Moser you know I get something else you know it's it's convenient to keep me but in real it they don't really like it why because they really want to go a little here a little there but they feel like they shouldn't and really they couldn't and really they can't so they live two lives so the ran says there's an answer to all of that but that answer although it's easy to say very difficult to do he tells us after he's told us to stay away from anger after he's told us to be very humble after he's told us to look at every single person that you see out there and find something favorable in him find something favorable in them after he told us so many different lessons and different tools that we've utilized over these last several months now he says to us he says read this letter once a week get read it once a week and neglect none of it meaning don't just read it but read the whole thing don't just like oh no I'm going to read a paragraph today a paragraph tomorrow no the whole thing fulfill it and in doing so walk with it forever in the ways of Hashem may he be blessed so now the ramban not only makes a very interesting statement but he puts a obligation on us that in essence he's making a very big promise he's saying to us that we have to read this letter we have to treat this letter like it's t we have to treat this letter like it's Dai we have to treat this letter like it's when did when did the ever say that oh that's you have to read it every every week you get it's a you have to read it where where where did he get where did the ramban 800 plus years ago get the courage to say this letter that I wrote to my to my son read it every day read it read it every week but don't even Short change it don't even be like one of these people you know sometimes people say no no I read 10 every day but you know after after whatever they do what do they do they read why because they're looking forward to the end they're looking for don't know what they're saying but you know but I I read 10 I read 20 every single day I read I read read why because they can't wait for the end thean specifically says no no no don't read it like that don't don't speed don't just read it for the sake of reading it fulfill it what do mean fulfill it that mean you have to contemplate this letter on a regular basis in order for you to walk with hasem so next week we'll talk about why he's saying this he's making a promise in the details of the promise the promise he says why should you read this every week and walk with it if you do this you will succeed in your ways meaning everything in your business and your marriage and your parenting and everything you're going do you're going to succeed and no more no less you will Merit to go to Aba which lies hidden for that's it that's all I need to do in life I just need to read this letter once a week I go to I don't have to keep shabat I have to keep nothing no no no no details he says you read this letter you fulfill this letter you're going to Al with you going to you're going to with the ra you going to with ra himself you see I read oh that's what you hear he's telling you read this letter every week you're going to how could one of the greatest sages that's ever lived not just in this time ever in history say such a bold statement promising us if he said listen you do this you're going to get some money okay so there's a lot of things that you can get some money open the business and succeed you get some money too if he says you do this you get some health okay you read also you get some health shorter if he said it's one small thing maybe Health maybe money maybe that then it's okay you know it's another this is no this is a promise from one of the greatest sages that ever lived in history telling you do this you're going to now let's understand his words just like we've done but we have to always make sure to understand what is he actually saying here first a person needs to know that the ran here this letter there's a few that have slightly different versions of the letter where they have a uh uh few added words so for example when it says in the beginning to read this letter once a week and neglect uh there is a some that say read this letter once a week with your friend with your fellow and the rest of it the same meaning they add just a couple words meaning don't just learn this letter but do K help others read this letter too help others do CH with you as the page 7A it says the words of Torah are bought are inherited when they're done as a community when they're done together with others so thean says if you learn this letter with somebody else you're not only doing the Mitzvah of learning but you're also your Torah is going to have more Merit because it is is also benefiting others and also added saying are bought in groups when you learn M you should do it in groups not just by yourself and that's the that's the way his bet mus was in novardok he had bet mus and uh which was a you know like a place but their main focus was learn m but it wasn't M like sometime you know we have sh we learn a little bit of M we try to do a few things right no over there it was very very different first of all everyone was Extremely Loud and they would repeat certain things that they learned over and over again really really loud so they will learn let's say a certain Mish that if you don't learn T you have no or if this or if that whatever someone that's angry AEM is disgusted by him whatever it is and they repeat it really loud for an hour two 3 hours straight just that one line to get it engraved into their DNA now you talk about a room full of people and then they would do it after they would do it with each other back and forth and they would debate about how to make certain character traits even more perfect now this was extremely passionate teaching you guys think that sometimes I'm passionate I'm a little tiny puppy next to the people that were learning in the so much so that galinski Shalom he says that when the Russians IM the theim sent him to Siberia him and a bunch of went to Siberia and you go to Siberia it's pretty much a death sentence not only do they enslave you but they enslave you with pretty much you're barely wearing cloes cloth in the coldest place on Earth every day they had a short break short tiny break and during that break him and his what would they do each person had to give for two minutes what M can you teach us for two minutes each person had two minutes 2 minutes 2 minutes 2 minutes the fire from the M gave them life for a whole day more than the food more than anything else the fire from the M that they were learning going back and forth how to perfect the servitude of hem how to perfect your generosity how to perfect your your humility how to perfect any character trait created so much fire from the debates from from the just the the passion that it gave these life and they were the only ones that survived so the bet was in such a way that just like the ran says when you learn it you learn it with you learn it with other people 1 2 3 10 20 whatever it is learn with people back and forth he has his idea he has his idea has idea everybody exchanged idea as long as everybody's valid and everybody's on the same page you get a lot of fire there is a learning together and then there's sh there's different types of learn but the point is is is that the raan says this specific letter when you're learning it on a regular basis learn it with somebody that way each week each time you read it together you'll see that each one of you is coming up with a new understanding of different things and how you could perfect them then the has a slightly other change where it says when he says to the point do not neglect none of it he says he changes one letter instead of a to a why because that changes the word instead of do not neglect any of it to do not be scared what should I be scared of do not be scared to be a sadik don't be scared to be a sadik you believe that there is literally an endless amount of people that are afraid to be a sadik they're afraid why what are people going to think what are they going to say or this they're afraid of the public many times people are in their own hurdle they're their own trap because they're too focused on what other people say what other people think and therefore they don't allow they don't allow themselves to serve AEM like they're supposed to she doesn't allow our to put a on because what is my neighbor GNA say what is my sister GNA say what is my husband gonna say yeah but what does God say you didn't think about that part yeah but maybe God's more understanding he's afraid to keep Shabbat he's afraid to keep Kos he's afraid to go to sh because what are our friends going to say what are his parents going to say what is one going to say yeah what about what hasem says no you know I didn't think about that what does he say well he says to you oh does he understand my parents yeah I understand your parents too now there are many people that are afraid why because to be a sadik is not just keep Shabbat it's not just learn to maybe a few times a week to be a sadik is fulltime 247 no breaks to be righteous is something that you have to Simply make your priority in life it doesn't mean you have to learn full-time 24 hours a day it doesn't mean that you have to do a uh you know become mhu but what it means is that you have to have AEM on your mind at all times and connect everything you do to him now that's where the ramban moves to now where he says make sure to read this Iger this letter each week neglect none of it because if you do this you're going to end up walking with Hashem forever now the Torah in the book of Deuteronomy seph chapter 28:9 has a Mitzvah an obligation on all of us where it says you shall walk you shall follow his ways who's his hem there's a mitvah obligation just like there's a mitvah to eat kosher there's a mitvah to keep Shabbat there's and so on it's aah to walk in the ways of hem what are these what does this mean thean explains it in chapter one number five that this means that a person needs to emulate the character traits of a just as God is compassionate you need to become compassionate just as God is merciful you need to become merciful just as God is Holy you need to do whatever you can in order to become holy a Jew has to strive to become compassionate merciful and holy just like his creator now the tell us that if you want to know whether you are a decendant of abrah ainu you need to have three three character traits you have to be a generous person you have to be ban ban meaning you have to be shy not be one of these you know arrogant flamboyant people that uh just wants to uh constantly tell everybody he's the best and you have to be you have to be merciful you see someone suffering you see someone that's colle you know needs money you need somebody that's struggling if you could help help now if you notice what do they spell G now G in a secular World means hero like uh strong you know really like uh he's the guy he's the macho guy Tor tells us no a g a g is a sadik a g is a person that has these attributes that he's generous and he goes and he helps whoever he can he's a humble person he's not one of these people that's constantly looking for attention and he's also merciful that's a giv you want to be a g you do that why because God does it every single thing we have God gives us he's constantly giving us even when we don't deserve it in fact we don't deserve it we constantly ask hem for for kindness for for presence of of kindness why because in reality what we're asking for we don't deserve we May deserve something but we're asking for a little bit more and because he's our father and also our King we feel comfortable and because he's our father in addition to being our King he gives it to us there's nothing more humble than him look at how many people insult him on a daily basis go against them on a daily basis curse him on a daily basis go against them on a daily basis but he stays quiet and gives them more years and more money and more time in life he doesn't punish him right away he lets people walk on him all day and all night why maybe in a year maybe in two years maybe in five years will do Chua eventually times up but does not act like we would if we were him if any if anybody would have crossed you the way that people cross hasm on a regular basis we'd simply become massive murderers every day there will be a shooting huh you called me this you call me that oh you thought about calling me if you just thought if you just knew what your friends think about you sometimes you become one of these people on the news live from Baton s just killed 18 people we don't know why but he said he knows what they thought if you just know what people think about you you start killing people knows what we're thinking and not only he doesn't kill us he gives us life there's nothing more humble than that and that's also because he's a he's merciful he knows his creation is weak his creation is foolish at times his creation doesn't know what's even good for it so he gives us more time now needless to say this doesn't mean that we could stay that way it just means that that's why hasm gives us time now the rambam writes in Guide to the perplexed in the uh third part third uh section of it in uh paragraph 51 where he says that a person that walks with God rivets his attention to the almighty and allows nothing to distract him meaning that if you want to be one of these people that's focused about hasem you have to eliminate distraction whether it's the phone or your friends or anything that's in essence negating your target you have to eliminate it move it out of the way it's this walking in the way of God which is the highest level of human existence if a person wants to be literally someone that is superior to the people around them to the world around them this is the way walking with hem and that's why the K writes in his um that there are people that have tasted the sweetness of Torah and although they look like people they are not they are angels among men someone that has tasted the sweetness of T that's constantly yearning for T you ask him what do you want to do learn tah what are you going to do learn tah what's going to do learn that's all he wants he wants to learn T that's it why that's his desire some people have a desire for girls some people have a desire for food some people have a desire for power money this that what you ask what's your dream Tora yeah what about G no I just want Tora just give me Tora that's all I want someone that tasted the sweetness of Tor and has turned the to into his desire the K says this is not a person this is an angel among men now how do you get there the ran tells us you have to do this to this Walking with God you have to do tamit all the time and the rambam writes if you do this you will achieve the highest level of human existence you'll become an angel among men now page 32b says that there are four things that need constant T good deeds and T obviously we have to constantly learn more Torah if you're not going to learn Torah every day your will get weaker and weaker and little by little you'll lose whatever desire you have to learn and that three four five times a week you learn to will shortly by will become one maybe sometimes you'll skip a week and eventually nothing why CU is fuel for the just like your body needs food every day your needs food every day if you feed your every day it's constantly you're constantly going to want even more T but you're going to be okay you're going to be okay even maintaining that status quo let's say you learn two hours a day every day you'll be okay you may want more but even if you maintain that two hours a day you'll be okay but if you start doing no I'll do two hours on Monday you know an hour on Tuesday Wednesday I'll take a day off I'll take a day off from God you know on vacation from God Thursday I'll go back with an hour Friday you know I'm with the family so it's another day off and Shabbat you know Shabbat I have five hours make up for lost time doesn't work doesn't work says T needs constant what's Constant every day it's better to learn I asked my this one of the original question I asked him we used to learn so much every Thursday 7 hour sessions and he told me you have to start learning every day I said okay but you know I can't learn 7 hours every goes no no no you learn learn 15 minutes a day I said why don't we just add it to the seven hours he goes no no you don't understand it's better you do the 15 minutes a day every single day then once a week seven hours straight he said wait a minute RAB you know the math is a little off if I do 15 minutes a day I'm thinking he doesn't no math I'm still at this stage I'm think you know seven seven times 15 it's not exactly 7 hours you know 7 hours more he say 15 minutes he repeats the same thing why because you know I'm but he's treating me like I'm human why because the reality is you have to feed your every day if you ate 87 steaks in one day the rest of the week you starve yourself it won't work you breathe one day a week the rest of the week you don't breathe it won't work you learn toah once a week twice a week the rest of the week you it's not going to work your will stay weak and the Torah will look like it's a burden Shalom so the says T needs constant but also good deeds need constant what does it mean good deeds constantly do good things help people out do MIT do different constantly constantly constantly look for stuff to do what can I do to help some out what can I do to help myself out what can I do that's good Chase Chase MIT Chase good things okay you have five minutes to burn don't burn them why you burning them read some T watch a video with t do something good why you need constant take the Torah that you've learned and apply to actual life young man asked me question he said I uh was laying down on uh my stomach the other day and uh you know something happened is that considered sin that's on purpose or uh accidental I didn't mean to so he thought I was going to ask him you know why did you lay down on your stomach you know you're not allowed but I know he knows that I know he know he not allowed not allowed to a guy is not allowed to lie on the stomach he's not allowed to lay on his back says even if you see your own father laying on his back wake him up why a guy has to lay if he's going to lay down lay down your side right or left pick one start the night with the left and then move on to to the right of course you lose control at some point and you're sleeping and so on don't worry you don't have to hire a bodyguard or anything to wake you up but the point is is that you have to do the best to stay on your side by the way it's what do you think it says has 60 around them what do you think for no reason different roles each one had a different role also to deal with demons but it's a different story anyway he thought I'm going to ask him why are you laying on it you know you're not allowed what was the question I asked him why you laying down that was the question not why you laying down on your stomach why are you laying down so now it's just resting so from what you know you know in between sit down then learn a book what are you doing laying down if you're going go to sleep it's at night rest of the day person came to the world to work stop laying down in the middle of afternoon like you're some uh retiree now I'm just resting resting from what you're 25 years old what are you resting from Game Boy or Playstation what are you resting from no I just learned two hours okay so learn another five minutes learn another two hours what are you laying down for you want to rest sit down with a book while you're reading rest while you read that's the question people think that they came to this world to relax afternoon naps if you slept 3 hours a night you could take an afternoon nap no problem but to just lay down and just look at the ceil like you're some retiree it's not that's not for Judaism doesn't work why bad things are going to happen a person needs to know that if you are constantly busy doing good Good Deeds you yourself will start looking at it the same way that I'm speaking it who has time to lay down instead of laying down I could go do a good deed I go help somebody I go read something I go make a on something I could do something good who has time to relax I got stuff to do I got to build I got a whole world I got to build what has time to lay down an afternoon nap like he's uh 97 years old everybody's taking naps what are you a baby I'll bring you to my house you sleep slay down next to my kids ysep ysep likes to take a nap every few hours takes a nice nap for 15 minutes you take a nap next to him I'll give you a battle give him a bottle next to you Binky Binky huh what is this what it laying down 20 15 years old laying down what are you laying down for either sit down or go to sleep if you're busy doing good deeds you start looking at this as ludicrous as I do laziness is a choice a person that's chasing Good Deeds is going to do much more in his life he'll be much more successful in his life next the says something that needs Rabbi how come I how come has doesn't give me this pray for it yeah but I pray pray more how much more as much as you need how do I know how much I need when you get it you'll know how much you need it if someone knows how to cook say how you get to something they made something oh you know it's it's still not salty enough okay put more salt how much salt should I put as much as you need how do I know how much I need put more and taste it again if it's good then uh that's enough if it's not good put some more salt that's how much is as much as you need how much do you need until you get the prayers answered you constantly got to pray but not just for yourself pray for other people say if you pray for other people you get your prayers answers first you pray for yourself you'll get your answers but maybe not first you have to constantly pray not just the regular stuff the three that you're required as a man and the one that you're required as a woman but constantly take a open it wherever you open it and start reading for the sake of for the sake of your parents for the sake of your children for the sake of your spouse for the sake of of of of something take a start praying got two minutes okay that's enough to leave at least read a few especially women you got to read you got to read it here every day a few one two three four five got to do something why need then it says one of the common ways that is interpreted is constantly got to work on fixing ourself our character traits constantly got to perfect yourself you see that you did something you got upset at something investigate yourself why did I get upset am I right for being upset the answer by default is no which means if we got upset we made a mistake why because even if the other person made us upset who's the one that send this person constantly investigate your own character traits constantly investigate your own situation why is this happening why is that happening why why why and if you really investigate Hashem will give you the idea it'll give you ideas of different things that you need to work on I can tell you for sure the little alligator that walked into my house today that I told you guys before the Sho this really wasn't an alligator was a what is it called IG iguana this giant iguana I want outside to go take some boxes and I have no idea how this giant thing just walked into the house and I didn't even see him first of all the fact that you guys have so many alligators in the streets is ridiculous somebody should do something about it but anyway you see them in the street look at zoo I see show my kids oh look oh iguana iguana he's crazy yeah okay great but when it comes to your house it's not much fun alligator comes to your house it's not much it's not there no why because I'm taking the boxes and then I hear my little daughter scream iguana and I'm thinking now my daughter you know she's overreacting it's probably a little lizard or something you know I'm think it's a little lizard or something so you know I put the box down I walk I walk inside and I I'm telling you I saw this thing I see my wife sitting in my office this's the door and in this giant monster dinosaur over there it seemed like it's like a T-Rex sitting at the door looking at my wife I'm there he turns around he grows at me I said I I could have sworn to you was I'm telling you it must have been Jurassic Park you why well I never knew they made so much sound this thing was I I could now this whole thing you guys are laughing it's funny but I told my wife my wife almost uh she has Mercy on us there's a door to my office that goes outside she runs outside comes in from the other side and then I I try to shoot this thing into my office he goes into my office I close the office my kids are like hanging off the walls Everybody's scared my daughter's off the ceiling everybody's now after this thing is like locked we call the press control first guy yeah $280 okay come come come another one call another one at the same time no 60 bucks one 601 280 that's a good deal wow so anyway we get crocodile dande to come to my house now wasn't in 2 minutes so the whole time I'm looking and after I analyzed the whole situation I said a why do I have a T-Rex in my office right now and I realize I have to do CH I have to do CH and that's what I have to do I have to do CH I have to do CH I have to learn more Tor why because if you learn enough Tora no no anakanda no T-Rex GNA come to your office and that's the reality as funny as it is I wanted to cry it's funny but I want to cry why cuz reality is had a T-Rex in my office today why I don't learn enough T and that's the way that's the thought that has put in my head whether it's right or it's wrong you know my wife you know she tried to make me feel better about it didn't feel B about my Rabbi told me no no you're doing good I have to learn more that's the idea that hasem implanted in my head that I have to do CH cuz I had T-Rex show up in my office today if you evaluate everything that happens in your life Hashem will give you an idea of what you need to work on that needs whether it's a character trait or it's a certain action and that's what the gar says it has to be every day now Rashi says what is doesn't mean what does mean means to always do something with full force when we are passionate about something let's see we're passionate about making money now as I was on Wall Street it was Clockwork you wake up at 5:00 in the morning you get dressed really fast shower this whatever you got to do you're on the bus already at 5:45 6 the latest why cuz you got to get to the office by 7:15 and it takes an hour and 15 minutes in the morning in New York 7:15 I already read half the journal by time in the office you read the rest of it by whatever you need to do all the news you need to do why 8:00 in the morning you're already on the phone until when midnight you take a break at 8:00 at night 8 to 8 straight 8 to8 straight once in a while you go to the bathroom once in a while you smoke a cigarette if you're a smoker if you eat five minutes and you're back on the phone sometimes you're eating and you're calling constantly 8 to 8 then at 8:00 you take maybe a little longer break 45 minutes you're back on the phone till when midnight why cuz then you can't call anymore not because you don't want to call you can't call anymore cuz it's too late already for people at midnight you call people from California it's :' at then but the point is or you call overseas why why why do why this crazy schedule at 12:00 at night you finished you're getting the last bus by the time I got home it was almost 2:00 in the morning I'm walking on my briefcase a bunch of guys drinking on the street you know guys that you know young guys having to drink in front of their house chitchatting wasting their life away and I see me with my little briefcase where you coming from work where do you work Egypt where you working this late oh you got to work got to work and I keep walking every day every day every day for years like this why why work this crazy schedule passionate about something you're passionate about something there's no boundaries there is no boundaries there is no time slot there is no schedule you simply do everything you leave everything on the field you do it until you can't do it no more now when it comes to money everyone here understands what I just said if someone is passionate about a relationship they will do everything possible to get that relationship you're passionate about a woman you'll do everything to get her you're passionate about a man you'll do everything to get him people easily understand those words that I just said people are willing to kill just to get someone that they love people are willing to die just to get someone that they love being passionate about that is normal there are movies made about it it's an entire industry explaining the craziness that goes into people's head for some type of lust they call love but in people's mind it makes sense it makes all the sense in the world to move across the country just to go meet someone that you saw on the internet people do this all the time it's normal in their mind no I'm passionate I want no she's the one for me you don't even know her name she give you a fake name you're you're meeting her in a parking lot I mean don't you find that strange how do you know it's her in the picture it's really her in real life you know in a picture she looked like this and in real life she's you know a little bigger what happened in a picture she had full teeth in real life she had your own ruven's teeth what happened what happened was an internet CH things change what no no no she's no I love her it's it's normal for him I'm just spending my life savings to go to her normal in people's mind it's normal to do whatever you got to do to go find that girl job go make money change careers normal the raan says this is a mistake why your passion your passion must go to after over 20 years of of crying over his son yobu finally got the day to see his son YF but the Torah tells us that the moment that they met YF hugged yov it doesn't say that yov was hugging y why explained to us in the midash it's because at the moment that yov saw his son and the culmination of over 20 years of crying hysterically over his son his favorite son created so much passion created so much love so much excitement that at the last moment before he hugged him before he really wanted to really give his son the love that has been waiting and accumulating for over two decades he realized Shalom God forbid the that I would give all of this built up love this built up passion to anything other than a and at that moment that he embrac that his son embraced him yobu was not hugging him because his hand was on his face [Applause] saying I am Isel yob says I am Isel that's his other name I am is hear me you are the only one what do you mean you're the only one doesn't know he the only one goes noem you know you're the only one but I want you to know you're the only one in my heart only my love only goes to you nothing else if we serve a with that much passion it's easy to understand why the ran says you're going to have if if you're going to chase MIT like you chase money it's easy to understand why the ran says you do this you fulfill it you're going to have if you're going to work till 12:00 at night from 8 to 8 and 12 and all this crazy schedule 2 o'clock in the morning don't sleep don't breathe don't eat don't this don't nothing just work for hasem as much as you possibly can till you collaps it's easy to understand why the ran says I promise you in the name of the Tora why there nobody better than you that's what Rashi is trying to say means Tam but with full force not Tam just like every day regular schedule you wake up at this time you eat your little breakfast you study for a couple hours you go back to work you know you do what you got to do you come home you no no no tamid means at all times full force which means that even the mundane things that you have to do whether it's eating drinking working being with your wife being with your husband taking care of your kids going to whatever it is even those mundane things connect to everything connect to every single thing find a way to connect Every Little Dot in your life to hasem everything eat why am I eating I'm eating because Hashem gave me food he cared enough about me to give me food I'm also eating to have energy so I could serve AEM and so on and so forth and I can't wait to do a on this food why to thank him and I can't wait to say one of the used to learn Torah day and night so much so that people had to take care of him because they knew that if he if no one's going to bring him food he's going to forget to eat he's going to forget to eat just just forget to eat like just go a few days without eating we sometimes forget to do blessings we forget to do a lot of things to eat we don't forget now every day at the same time there was a guy being paid to go bring him his food same exact time bringing his food he eats goes back to learning one day this helper his helper decid like the rabbi is not even paying attention he's like in a different world he's in a different world so he's not even paying attention so even if I you know don't bring the food he's not going to remember why I BR him the food or not he's in a different world he eat so fast so I'm not going to bring the food I'm going to eat it myself so he ate the food himself and you know time passed so on and so forth and hours and hours passed and and then he came to the the rabbi a few hours after was supposed to give him the food uh and the Rabbi says well what happened to my food and he thought he could play joke on the old man sadik now come on you know yeah is in such high levels in heaven you forgot you ate you forgot you ate but the rabbi ate of course usual same schedule 12:00 every time I give you food the says you know you're right I don't remember if I ate or I didn't ate I don't remember but I do remember that I didn't do a so where's my food food I don't remember eat don't eat I don't remember but whether I made a or not that I remember I didn't make a where's my food do you understand how many times we forget the but not the food when we connect a to every single dot in our life you start having your whole world connect to AEM M I go to work why cuz I want to make money so I could do with that money I could buy that's better than what I have I could buy nice just for Shabbat I could buy a nicer suit just to wear on in Shabbat and I could do this and I could do different things with the money not just to you know become a blender just eat food digest go do other things why to connect to AEM you go you work to make money why you want to make money so I could do mitv even to buy a house why I'm G to buy a house so I can have guests so I can make my wife happier and or my husband happier and and there going to be more or I have more kids and so on and so forth you connect the m to when a person does that there is a beautiful outcome and that outcome is that all of the actions that he does all of the actions that she does because they're constantly connected to Hashem because every meal is connected to Hashem every customer is now connected to Hashem every boss is connected to Hashem every child is connected to Hashem every thing that you do every time you fold a shirt after you did laundry for for your family it's connected to Hashem why I'm going to make this shirt nice why so my husband could look good for could look good for could look a respectable person I'll make my kids look good why so the kids look like you know good kids and their clean house they don't look like they came out of a garbage pill I'm going to clean my house and you're sweeping and you're sleeping and you why so the house look like a nice beautiful home and is a it's respectable and it doesn't look like a garbage pill the coffee I make my husband wife so you can stay alert and he could serve serve AEM better and he could learn better and every little thing that you think oh I'm baking a cake what doesm with the cake hasm eats cake yes hasem wants to be connected to the cake how I would make the cake extra beautiful for Shabbat in the honor of Shabbat not in the honor of the stomach in the honor of sh make an extra cake or extra bread or extra this just for this sake of honoring a now there's a very big mitvah that the Tora says if you make a mistake on it your life's in danger what's the mistake what's the every Friday we read this it's a says there are three sins that put a woman in danger when she's a childbirth if she doesn't light the candles Shabbat the but also Kal making Kal now if you don't light the candles in time I can understand why that's a life risk why CU if you lit it one minute into Shabbat shabat it's life risk violating Shabbat is life risk it's life risk okay no problem you know touch your husband decides kill you any second every single time a woman is with with a a husband or even somebody that's not a husband and she's n so every second she's alive is borrow time it's like she's pretty much wearing an atomic bomb and the bomb already went off it's just that hasn't boomed yet you know it's quiet there's a quiet before the big boom why why is why why is Kal a life risk and we read this every Friday explained that if if you notice it says in seph that after the sin of after the sin of AD punished Adam and the snake the anakanda maybe he came to my house today serpent he said I don't want to see you I don't want to talk to you whatever you all the want to give you you could eat as much as you want everything's going to taste the same you going have difficult time burying the kids raising the kids no easy time with kids woman complains to you about a kids yeah this is the curse of this is this is part of your life is is the difficulty and you see this Mas Life as a parent you see this life one of the most aggravating things in the world that I know for me it's aggravating not because I feel bad but it's aggra why I see one of my kids crying for an hour straight and I'm doing whatever I'm doing God bless my wife she's not bothering me she doesn't do anything she knows that's her role that's my role but I hear the kids crying for an hour straight I get out after an hour you know I feel bad okay something maybe you know let me try to help I come there literally one second stops crying you know how annoying that is like if I was her i' get upset cuz she's doing everything possible to get this kid to stop crying you give him a toy you give him this you give him whatever you want doesn't want to stop crying yeah sometimes kids do that to go into this craziness just start crying for no reason whatsoever I come over there say hi stop crying you know how annoying that is but my wife and I said no this is this is the T why it's your T that he's going to cry it's not my T he's going to cry so that's why it stopped so when a woman is struggling with kids that's but what about says your punish m is you are going to make sust you're going to make bread by the sweat of your brow everything you make going to be hard work it'll to be hard for you to learn TOA it'll be hard for you to uh to make money it'll be hard for you to to stay a float it'll be hard you're going to constantly struggle to make bread is going to be difficult for you initially the malim would bring food and make barbecue for now you have to go and put the grains in the field in you make bread by the time you finish making bread you it's like it's hard to make money hard to make bread so the question is where did this all start from made a mistake she listened to the snake she listened to the Satan so she got her husband and says everybody else to all the animals too ate from the Tree of knowledge so the hardship of bread is due to the mistake that started hence the reason why part of the tun of a woman is to make you made the mistake 5,780 years ago in order to bring to fix the world to fix the original sin you got to make but don't make the mistake of just making kala just whatever you feel like it whatever amount no make the right quantity so you can make the blessing put the right amount of effort into it so it's delicious don't make Kal that you can't wait to finish or you take a piece of it and you can't wait to throw out the rest and it goes green make Kal with everything in it why it's part of it looks simple but it's big a woman making taking 5 lbs 5 lbs of the flour and everything and now she makes Kal that's a lot more than any family could eat in one Shabbat so that means you're going to make a whole lot more than what you need that's what wants why because if you make less you can't make the blessing you can't make the blessing your your Dunkin Donuts you mean nothing there's no blessing there's no t there no nothing 5,780 years is waiting for nothing happened why you you made two loaves you made two loes go back to go to McDonald's maybe they'll buy it from you for the woman not because he wants your bread he wants there's nothing simple about Judaism everything has a purpose everything has significance you want to learn about it you want to do mitvah go learn about that Mitzvah what what's the what is this whole thing you learn about you start seeing wow it's connected to this to this to that before you know it you cover the entire T just one that's how the Torah Works everything is connected you could learn take any any one of the 63 and if you learn enough about it you'll see that that Mitzvah is connected one way or the other directly indirectly know without skipping to everything else it's all like one big V you know vein system or or system like your body even though your brain over here is still connected to your foot your foot's over there it's connected to your arm your arm's over here you have one pain in your back your your foot hurts your whole body is connected the MIT are even more so wants us to put everything into it why so when I make the Kal it's not just because I want to make it delicious and sweet if you're asazi salty if you're Safari big small no no no it's not that it's not just for my husband because he likes it's not because of my kids it's not because we're having guests no it's because it's t this this little in the middle of nowhere is part of me doing yes you you're doing yeah you with your little no one's ever going to hear about except your husband that's as long as it's the right amount as long as the right blessing as long as you're doing everything right yes but if you don't you make a mistake says you're putting your life at risk why there's no purpose there's no purpose for what you're doing you're just making bread you just there's no purpose that's that's life risk why cuz if you're alive you have to have a purpose that's why some discussed how the special with where if you put a key in it make sure to take it out and not eat it by the way the key is not food but you make a key it's good for pregnancy there many many special school but the point is is that it's not just about it being delicious it's about putting everything into it while you're making the kala make sure not to make sins like sometimes people have these gatherings where the raban is going to come it's going to be 20 30 women you know making problem is it's 2030 women saying with you think that is wants that he says he himself says who's gonna eat this anyone eat this is cursed all the went into the you got 20 30 40 50 women saying for two hours making yeah yeah don't make the don't make a sin with the your words where you think the words go to nothing your words going to the food when you have listen to a holy music maybe some have the make it a special event it's a big deal why or you could just go to Bakery bu you know four five bucks that's true too that's fine too but not if you're able do it you're not able don't do it but the point is that if you're going to do it do it right that's what the ran is trying to tell us here if you're already going to be alive and you're already going to serve AEM do it right Tam all the time constant not just sometimes because what ends up with that sometimes is that you end up being miserable because when you're sometimes serving hem that means that you're sometimes or a lot of times not serving hem leaves you a lot of free time to make sins or to think about sins so if you haven't gotten to the point of making sins you're still miserable why because you're thinking about the sins you want to make and that makes a person very very miserable so if you're constantly looking to do mitv do good deeds constantly fulfill your purpose you end up turning every one of your actions into an action that is sh meaning you're turning every single thing that you do your work you're raising kids your husband your wife your everything that you do and two this is for Hashem this is for Hashem the cake is for hasem the Kal is for hem the kids are for hem the shirt is for hem the laundry is for hem everything is for hem that's a life worth living why is it a life worth living because aside from the fact that your life becomes and your servitude of hm becomes much more enjoyable and that you end up getting your life also becomes different different how the says that you're actually obligated to do all of the actions you do for SH now surely this is not easy to every do everything for is not easy but says this is nonetheless whether it's easy or not still technically that's the goal you're supposed to do it everything you're supposed to do is supposed to be for the sake of hm everything you're learning supposed to be the sake ofm first chapter third Mish an anos the leader of the in a town called couple thousand years ago he received the oral tradition from Shimon sadik who was direct lineage of DAV Ando said don't be like servants who serve their Master for the sake of receiving a reward rather be like servants who serve their Master without the intent of receiving a reward and let the fear of Heaven be upon you don't do everything you do for the sake of getting money getting a Z getting this getting even getting you can but anonos one of the greatest sages that ever lived says you shouldn't technically you're allowed to say listen I'm doing all my because I want money I'm doing all my because I want I'm doing all my because I want to you know have all types of goodies you can technically do it but one of the greatest sages that ever lived 2500 years ago says something mistake father you would listen why he has a few things to say and he says to us out of all the things that he could say this what's listed in the Mish about him it's not like there's entire books by they could have picked anything he said this is what they picked third M says don't serve the master for this reward serve him without and make sure you have too what's the connection if you serve Hashem because it's the right thing to do because Hashem is the king because you have to because he's the best guess what he'll give you even more than what you want anyway the reward for a mitvah that's done forem sh is world aart than a Mitzvah that's done because of Simply you want something what is it like imagine a father a father has sons and daughters and when he gets home every day he asks one of the kids to make him coffee or a tea make and you know the kid you know makes a face cuz he wants to play and he wants to this and he wants to that okay yeah okay I'll make it okay today's my turn okay today's my turn okay today's your turn you know they make a face like they're uh they don't realize they're living in the house their father pays for he gave them a house he just wants coffee in return it's a big deal so when he brings him the coffee and the tea whatever you know it's like he gives it to him he's not really happy about it but he does it no he's not a bad kid he's just not you know great he's not but he's not exactly yob either give him the tea okay AB okay you go ABA here you go now the ABA is content with this kid that is listening to him content right but do you think he would be feel different if he didn't have to ask at all where in fact as soon as he comes home all the K ab ab ABA how are you hug kisses ab ab the food's already ready for you it's come on come on come sit AB let me take off your jacket your shoes one with the shoe one with the jacket here's the tea here oh everybody that ABBA can't wait to see his kids can't wait to take the money that he worked for all day and give it to them buy them whatever they want why who's the pet all you cared for is for me to come and you already made me without me even asking no one needs a high IQ to understand what I just said that's why we it's easy for us to understand a that you make for is much more valuable than azv do you make for yourself now how do we get to that going back to what the ran says Tam constantly look for ways to do good deeds constantly look for ways to learn more Torah constantly look for ways to improve yourself constant constant constant 24 hours a day don't look for breaks don't look to relax trust me when when you die there much relaxing there at least in your imagination forget about relaxing says in the the prophet job Prophet job says a person came to the world to toil not to relax not to lay in the stomach not to lay in his back not to go on vacation you're alive you're awake do something productive can't learn go work can't work go learn do something do something good productive and make sure that whatever you're doing connect it to hem connected to Hashem because but aside from all of this which we'll talk about next week and the basics of what I'm telling you about there's an added benefit and for that is what I named the sh at least for now about which is there's is a little code in aah that you can break by doing such things by connecting every one of your and constantly chasing AEM in every way all your MIT turn to something that's forem SH now what happens when everything that you do turns for Shem sh simply put you can become a miracle worker about a hundred years ago or a little more one of the was rabant RAB was in many many years before the Zionist took over andant was the was the head Rabbi of the city but he called a different giant by name of and he called him and he told him I need you to do me a big favor a big sacrifice I want you to come move to you're the G over there I would never step my ground over there you know he said no no no I need you to come there for what said listen I'm the r of the city which means I have to be the rabbi for every body the the the good ones the bad ones they I have to in essence get along with everybody have to find a way to get but in order for it all to work for us to serve a we need someone like you that's zealous that's a kai and rebukes people constantly that are not serving like they're supposed to so I need you to come in order for us to serve hem I need you to come rebuke the people only condition wait one year come to see how the ground is how you check everything out for the first year after the first year do what your wisdom tells you to do so may was a very zealous Jew big sadik saw this is for sh and everything that he did was for sh he realized this is a sacrifice that needs to be made and he made the move it's not like today you get on a truck you move made the sacrifice move to now unlike many others was also very rich too so when he came to he brought himself he brought him 100,000 rubles and he was very rich and he would uh use his money to help he built a and so on now after that time passed he started the bed and right after he opened the bedin someone came to him and says we have a very serious problem there's this r that just like you know they read to become there's certain people that read newspapers to become it's one of these what does he do he has a business what's his business sell sell them non food heard about this let's go went with his people to the GU shop immediately he sees him and he starts rebuking him publicly yelling at him like the guy is a little boy now this rash looked at this old man even though he was tall and strong he's looking at this old Rabbi who's this Rabbi going tell me what to do so he starts yelling at him back without getting confused and hesitating takes his hand and slaps this guy in his face a couple times in front of everybody the guy without hesitating himself turns around goes behind the register takes a gun out and points it at the rabbi walking to it in front of everybody there countless people there have oach without mistake without a hesitation opens his shirt and said shoot me right here if you dare right here the guy saw mamash the got scared to death and ran away after he ran away says the bullet to shoot me here hasn't been created yet because everything that I do is only forem sh don't do it for myav don't do it for money don't do it for reputation everything I do it's only for and to have a bullet to shoot here has not been created during that same year there was a drought in people came crying to seeing that people are getting sick because the water that's left is not good he goes take some people with them and they go to the place where is buried it's a bet mid also there they get there and he starts doing all types of prayers crying and yelling at sham yelling begging AEM doing with all of the prayers and the screaming and the crying in front of everybody there is this this is all documented this is not like you know stories from 500 years ago a thousand years ago 2,000 years ago who what what this is documented this is in countless books it's in newspapers and so on it's 100 years ago people are there may looks at sham and he says all of your children here in have done CH and we are not leaving until you make it rain now if this was the 2,000 years ago that made a circle after there was a drought said to make it rain and it happen Okay he was able to revive the dead but we're not talking about 2 years ago we talk about 100 years ago less than five minutes later brought rain that washed all of filled up the Lakes people were so amazed they read the the full thanking glorifying say w he says everything it's be because we do everything for sh the only reason I do everything is forem that's it I don't want I don't want I don't want nothing I just want forem I pray for for me everything is for hem when you do everything for hem guess what the reward you end up getting is much much greater than the one that you can think about for yourself cuz why we pray for oh give me give me give me give me give me we like beggar all day give me give me give me give me all day we beg for stuff we are so focused on asking hem for stuff we forget about why we're even doing anything we treat AEM like an ATM machine now again you're allowed to do that but say it's not a good idea why because if you would have served theem like an says like raan says like says guess what what would give you automatically is much greater than what you are asking for in the first place but that means that you have to turn your entire life into simply serving hem and connecting everything to him that doesn't mean that you have to be a man learning to all day it also doesn't mean that you have to be a woman that was born religious into Ra's household you could be a brand new B Chua you could be religious from birth you could be old you could be young you could be new you could be whatever but you could start today how everything you do connected to hasm this takes practice this takes effort this takes constant thinking but when you start realizing that the potential is so extraordinary you start realizing that it's worth it now or finish it off with this how do you know if someone did it what's the sign I give you a small small indication of something that could be I don't know for sure I'm not God but if somebody says something it indicates of what they think and what they feel now Shalom just left this world at the age of 101 today he's from CCH Czechoslovakia originally Holocaust Survivor while he lost his entire family but em himself throughout his entire life told his kids and grandkids a story of how they put him inside one of the guest Chambers he was supposed to die but a Mal took him out because someone took him out of the gas chamber and to this day to his last day he didn't know it was say has to be Mal why it was either the people that died or was the Nazis that were killing there was nobody else there so how I actually got out and I was out and I alive 100 years am took me out it's not a person now he lived his life he had six kids he was a Kazan constantly gave blessings to everyone but even more than that he read he read seph the entire seph every single day sometimes we have a groups that read t for people for benefit of a sick and you know you track oh you do from you know 10 to 20 you do from 5 to 10 and you know sometimes you're on to it and you know you finish the between a group of 5 10 20 people in a day few hours a week he by himself read the entire day every day now I you could say these things about people you could say these things but they may or may not be true how do you know they're true how do you know they're true without knowing him not had the mar to meet him once and get a blessing from him and you're going to see this in a movie that comes out soon now how do I know for sure this is true because in his last days or last months as he became more and more frail he started telling his kids and grandkids especially his grandkid that he wants to die why does he want to die he says I can't do MIT anymore can't have can't see can't move can't do mitv if I can't do mitv what's the point of life now if somebody's 20 years old and tell yeah you should do a Mitzvah yeah it's a good thing to do maybe I'll do it maybe not maybe there something more fun but someone that lived 101 years in this world and he's telling you the only thing I want to live for is for I don't want girls I don't want boys I don't want food I don't want money I don't want Cav I don't want someone say nothing what I want to do I want to do MIT if I can't do I don't want to live that's a person he didn't become that way in the last days he was that and he built that as entire life someone that says if I can't do me there's no point to my life that's a person that at the very least fulfilled much of what we've been talking about for the last couple of hours the loss is to us not to him he's in a much better place a person that says if I don't have an opportunity to do mitv if I can't do mitv what's the point of life you don't have to be a genius to understand where you go from here because you don't desire me if you didn't do MIT constantly you don't desire MIT and have an actual desire for mitv to the extent where that's all you want to do and that's all you want to live for if that's not all you've lived for for a very very long time what we can learn today is that it's possible because someone did it and it's not even 100 years ago it was yesterday that means it's possible for this generation for this room for this audience that's watching today tomorrow a year from now it's possible you can connect every single thing to a and it also explains why a Mal would take such a person out of gas chamber why when you do everything for you do everything for you're a miracle worker Miracles become part of your life and you live 101 years and you have wonderful grandkids and you have a fantastic place to go after this world we learn enough from his story we learn enough from the sages we learn enough from in his to repeat them to live with them and to fulfill theah that we go in his way in his footsteps he's humble he's he's a he's generous he's loving he's compassionate he's everything that's good whatever he's doing I want to do why cuz it's definitely the best way to go amen amen
