Our Actions Have Echos

[Music] one day a young bachelor from bernabrac decided he wanted to be heloni he moved out of his parents home and into his uncle's apartment in tel aviv a stone's throw from bernay bragg geographically but about as far away as mars religiously time went by and the barca met and fell in love with a non-jewish girl he got engaged to her now this was too much even for his secular uncle and he became very angry with him but in spite of all the uncle's efforts to get him to cancel the wedding the nephew was determined to go through and marry the girl the uncle was at least able to convince this bokeh to tell his parents face to face about what he planned to do the only time that this bokeh said that he had was on shabbos and he agreed to go back for shabbos provided that his parents agreed to his conditions so he spent most of shabbos night chilling on his parents porch with a cigarette in his mouth and shabbos morning found him out there again with his iphone in the afternoon his father asked him if he'd like to go to a sheer with him to rav aaron leib stamen secret suddenly surprisingly he agreed to go after the shia his father brought him over to rabaran lay the father told the rav that his son was no longer show me shabbos rabbi laid looked at this fellow and asked him how long is it since you kept shabbos two years said the young man and during that time did you have any thoughts of chuva yes he said about four times and each of those four times how long did that last for about 10 minutes said rebound labe so it comes out that in the last two years you had 40 minutes of mockum shabbale chuva omdhim tsardikim gemurum a no omni for that i envy you [Music] the young fella returned to his uncle's apartment in tel aviv but the rav's words would not let him rest after a week he decided to postpone the wedding and then he cancelled it and after a lot of soul-searching he went back to his family today he's an average now there's something that doesn't quite make sense about this story why would someone who's surfing the web on shabbos afternoon want to go to a shield by atsadik someone asked him this question and his answer was when i was in kita dalat in haida my class went to be tested by rabaran labes itself the rebbe asked that the rav should give us very very simple questions and so rebar and labe asked questions which everyone could answer when each boy answered this question review gave him a candy and when it was my turn to go and he asked me an easy question but i didn't know the answer so he asked me an even easier question and i still don't know the answer and he asked me an even easier question than i still couldn't answer while everyone was leaving with their candy in their hand ramaran labe called me over and he said to me in torah and yiddish you get reward for effort not for results all the other boys tried to answer one question and they got one candy you tried to answer three questions so you get three candies with a smile he dropped three candies into my hand our actions have echoes echoes echoes down the ears a kind word a smile a gesture today may save someone's life tomorrow [Music]
