The Crystal Cup - Rebbetzin K. Sarah Cohen

[Music] what about ladies and welcome to worlds of Chris oak this beautiful segment here and hit the boat this is a store in the damaja about Dobey allah sobhan Azariah lavish alone when he was just 18 years old he was asked to be the new head of the shiva and when he consulted with his wife she wasn't so happy about it she expressed her concern over him accepting the position and she sat him look they got rid of a Bengali Elle and they're asking you to replace him but what happens if after a little while they get rid of you too and he answered her the following he said it's worth using a beautiful crystal cup even if just for a short time what does this mean ISA was trying to say it's worth it to enjoy the benefits of being the head of the yeshiva even if it's only for a short time the crystal cup in this story represents the concept of something being worth the benefits even if it's short-lived when the Jewish people left Egypt on the night of Pesa Hadassah bahu temporarily lifted them all the way up to the 50th level of kedusha and after that occurred Akbar who put them back down to the ground level so to speak and then they had to work their way back up in order to be able to be worthy to receive the Torah hakudoshi so the obvious question is if I could dodge about who wasn't going to leave them at this high level why bring them up there in the first place the explanation is that even though they were only on this high spiritual level for a very short time there was a spiritual remnant that stayed with them through this experience this effect benefited them greatly so we see from here that even though a spiritual benefit is just temporary the impact that remains makes it worthwhile when a man and a woman get married there aren't a tremendous high the hotend is like a king the Kailash like a queen they're even forgiven for all of this sins on the day of the wedding but the day after chef about hot everything comes crashing down they're no longer the celebrities that they were during that whole entire period real life begins and they may start to wonder once real life kicks in they may start to think was it all worth it why bother if the excitement doesn't last so when we tell the haedong to break a glass under the Hopa we remind him of the glass that was mentioned by Rabbi Eleazar Ben Azaria that represents the idea that something that short-lived is well worth it meaning that even though the euphoria and all the excitement of the wedding fades the spiritual benefits that come along with it remains for a long time to come that impact should encourage the bride and the groom to realize the great and long-lasting advantages of their marriage and one very significant benefit is that the couple who merits can draw down the shrine Ahok dosha yachts on that in the merit first of all of uniting and becoming one and building a bad name and they sail you'll be zypher to draw down the Sheena into your home so that you could say that you were able to provide Kadosh powerful with an appropriate dwelling place [Music] [Applause]
