Alex Clare with a behind the scenes story of Anim Zemiros

Pidge Shabuin. He was he must have been a s. So apparently he wasn't. Apparently he was just a regular regular Jew. This man was very into Pidge Shabu and he travel around and he found found out a Jew was in trouble. He do what he could to get him out of jail. And he came to a certain town and the local pirates said I have I have a man for you. He said tell him more. And he said he's in my dungeon. He said okay tell him more. And he told him that he would you can point to him for a massive amount of money for you. It's like it's you know never let him you don't understand that there's a certain level that you can't pay a certain amount. It's interesting because talks about you know the the as being masak in the world. What it means is not doing things that make people fall into bad habits. Meaning if someone steals a person or kidnaps a person, you're not allowed to pay over a certain amount of money to redeem them because it sets a precedent and then they'll just keep doing it because it's the easiest way to make money. So then you can't pay a certain amount of money. There's a [ __ ] >> still the same thing. >> Yeah. >> They return hostages like thousands of whatever. >> So it's not it's not okay. It's too much. Yeah. >> And then they keep hearing more. >> That's the one cuz I was saying don't do it because they're stuck in a vicious circle. It's a very hard question. Glad I'm glad I don't have to make those decisions. >> If you pay the money just for them to release it, then you go in and kill them all. >> So this year, this year this year had never heard about this concept. So he thought, okay, I have to go be poet no matter what it takes. And he was went above and beyond. And he he said to the pirates, okay, give me two weeks. He sold his farm. He sold his business. He sold some of his wife jewelry. did whatever he could to get the money together and he got in the end he got the he got the amount. He got the amount and he went back to the pirates. He gave to the pirates and said, "Okay, hand him over and the pirates opened the dungeon door. There was a mace man that died." Very expensive mace. So he took the mace and he buried him in a little bit of time and went back to his wife. Just totally broken. Totally broken by what happened. Say again. >> Jewelry left. >> There you go. >> Heartbreak. Heartbreaking. So no matter what he did, he just couldn't get back on top in life. Things just going went from bad to worse. And uh he was falling to a state of Yosh really really heavy. He has a dream. And in the dream the mates came to him and said, you know, what you did it was incredible. You uh you gave me Kabura. You gave me all the I needed my should should go up to any of to go to and I'm so grateful. But basala is so impressed that you're for what you did to they want to give you a gift. Now the gift is you can either have all your money back every penny plus or or on your kipur you can have a nama and you can see what's happening in the above the basin shal he's a very pious man he's a very Jew he's like I want that I want to see what's happening in the himl on yonipur so the story was that the kebab the kebab came to shul the morning after yonipur when found this man still in the skittle in his palace singing this [ __ ] name he's the one who brought this [ __ ] down from the bas in Shala that's where his name comes from someone wants >> the singer didn't sing oh >> so here's the story >> this is the creation in the story told over this story there was a ruin dun tractor driving fromabad in Israel And he was a bit he was a tractor driver. He was such a he wasn't a bomb. He was also able. He burst into the Reb's room and he said the Reb was you right. You were the man in the story said no this happened before the time of the Bentto before long before the time of said what do you mean? He said if it was he would have taken the money on. >> So we laugh right we laugh. We laugh because it's it's true. It's funny would have taken the money. So was a bit surprised by this answer of the Reb and the Reb says you know it's very simple he says would realize that the aus of the mitzvah and the ability to do that mitzvah time and time and time again is much more the revelation of godliness by doing the mitzvah time and time again is much greater than any experience you can have by going after and seeing all these beautiful spiritual things in the physical world to do mitzvah to fulfill the route without any kickbacks without feeling here is still much much higher and much much holier than sitting and having this lofty spiritual experience. Since we said if you metem he would have known the mitzvah was much greater than any not of he could have any. I like it.
