this story i'll talk quickly about
a yid who was in
the sinai desert in the israeli air
force it was purim he didn't even know
it was poor
and he got inshallah shalom
this moved him deeply and this started
his path
of chiva and it was eventually like many
israelis when they leave
artistro and they go slaughterets they
become more religious
he ended up in chicago and daniel moscow
it's all over shaolin brought him to
mahni israel and he met the rebbe and
the rabbi asked him
a question how come everything in
yiddish kite puts the emphasis on the
right side
when it comes to the heart which is such
a vital organ
hashem seemingly put it on the wrong
side he put it on the left side
let it be like the brain that's in the
center or if it has to be off center to
off to one side or the other put it on
the right why put it on the left
this guy couldn't answer the question so
that ebba said
but the whole purpose of the heart is
emotions and emotions aren't for
yourself they're for others
so when you face another jew in avas
israel
your heart is on the right on the other
jew's right
so his whole awakening to yiddish kite
was when he was a receiver he got a gift
that ever flipped it now you could
become a giver now you have to give the
gift
not just because you know one good turn
deserves another now and now it's you
know
now you got to step up but because
that's
how you were designed you were made your
heart was placed
on the other guy's right side when
are we healthy when are we
functioning according to our design when
we're giving
so don't give me this business that i'll
do everything else
but the avas israel part
the whole purpose of it is to share it
with somebody else
or perhaps you could say it like this
and i think everyone here
knows this and i think it's something we
try to teach our children
and i hope it's something we try to
teach every jew that we meet that when
it comes down to it
the only yiddish kite that you really
have
is whatever yiddish kite you are
actively giving away
you
