[Music] Welcome to our B series episode number 15 the basa Ley now tells us that if we have these Concepts clear and we understand that we're only doing our hisl as a work tax but not that God needs it what happens if we're in a situation that there is nothing that we can do he gives an example El is it's time of famine he's stuck he's at the side of a river and then God tells him to leave and there's no food there's nothing to eat what do God then do he makes a miracle and Ravens come and bring him his food rimai is is a fugitive he's in a cave he has nothing to eat God makes a miracle and create a carab tree what's the lesson says the bet if we can't do anything we are absolved we're absolved from our work tax and God can't penalize us you didn't do anything wrong you tried your best and that's all you have to do and when you there's nothing else to do that's when God is now going to kick in because you did your best and that's an important lesson now one might say hold on what does this story of elahi have to do with me what does the story of have to do with me and it's interesting that the also brings down such stories he brings down the man as well and that's telling us that just because we not might not Merit open Miracles but there are small miracles that we can see where will show us I'm involved in your life and I'm taking care of you there's a story that I uh told Once Upon a Time of a man in the early 1900s when Shabbat was a big test for people and he used to every Friday would go home knowing that probably he's not going to get his job back when he doesn't come on Shabbat when he shows up Monday morning going to fire him one Friday on the way home he had no money in his pocket it seems they weren't going to pay until he come came the next Shabbat and he was tempted to just go to work on Shabbat and as he's walking home he doesn't know how he's going to buy any food he's going to have to borrow money again on a garbage can he sees a loaf of bread a loaf of Kala and he takes it and he takes as a sign from God that he's taking care of him this is his man and he goes and he commits himself to shabbat when I told this story there was a lady lady that was bothered by the story says who's taking a loaf of bread off a garbage can okay not long after this lady was making a Bim visit and she came to an older lady's house and the lady had been given uh loaves of Kala for Shabbat by by uh benefactors and she didn't e all those loaves so she gave this lady a loaf of bread and it was wrapped in Saran Wrap with a bow and the lady came to tell me the story and said look Hashem knows that I wouldn't take a loaf of bread just like that he puts San wrap and a bow around it even today will be involved in our lives we might not see it openly like El but we do our best God will be there because he's not going to penalize us if we weren't able to pay off our work tax have a wonderful day
