Shnayim Yomi - V'Zot HaBerachah - Sheni - #2- Rabbi Solly Sardar

[Music] We are going to read howenu begins to give the to the team and he writes over here that the is so hashem should bless means his assets his property his but brings another explanation and he says also comes from the word which means an army And he was hinting to the army that is going to come from which is the and was giving a prayer. Hashem should bless the because we know that the in the times of were a very small army. They didn't have so many soldiers but yet they were victorious over the Greeks which was a huge army like we say in so here is where the came from his army should be blessed. Now why is Mosher Rabenu exactly pointing towards Hanukah at this time specifically? What's the deeper message? Did he just randomly decide to pray for them? He's giving a at the end of his life. That means he wants to he wants to convey a message over here. And the explanation is Mosherenu is teaching us the power of every individual. Sometimes we think that we don't have that much power. We underestimate our potential. We underestimate our value. And Mosherenu is saying over here, look, there's going to come a time where there's going to be people, the Jewish people are going to be assimilating. There's going to be very, very terrible gaz and people are going to fall. But there's going to be there's going to be individuals that are going to get up and save the day. The power of an individual, you never know how far the power of an individual can go. There's a story of Noah Weinberg met a boy who he knew left religion and years later he met this boy and he he he saw that he became religious and he returned back to his heritage. So he asked him he says what inspired you? So he said, "I took a a tour in a university in Israel and they took us to Europe and we went down to the concentration camps. And when we went down to the concentration camps, we're walking down a road and we saw a wall that led to the gas chambers. And I looked very closely at that wall. And I saw that there was indentations. And I realized that these indentations were actually fingernail marks. And I realized that it was a prisoner who was being pushed into the gas chambers who was trying to fight for his life." And I wondered to myself, I said, why would this guy fight for his life? He's at that point, there was no way out. He should have just resigned to his unfortunate fate. And then it struck me that yes, these people were fighting for life because they were Jews. And as Jews, every minute of life means something. And that's what inspired me to come back. And noberg said, look at look at this. Look at the power of one individual. This person thought that he was giving himself a few more minutes of life. But actually 60 years later, he touched another person's soul and he changed his entire destiny. That's teaching us over here. Sometimes you think you're think you're very little, but in truth you have potential to do so many great things. [Music]
