Tetzaveh 5786

So for para stave rather than speaking about the para itself since this is the shabus before purum and we're all in the purum spirit and we want to walk away with some kind of makov of what porm represents. So the uh the is and that's the way in you know I think of most of and this is brought a which means after you say that which is right after the migilla then we sing. So it says over there that one of the messages of Porum is to let us know those that have put your faith in you, their hope in you, they will never be embarrassed. those who depend on you, the rebun. And what what this what that sentence is saying is that one of the messages of which of which there are many is if you have you put your faith and hope in the And that's who ultimately who we have to depend on and not on not on other types of interventions. We have to go ahead and put our hope and our trust in and he will do what he will do what he what he knows to be good and that's what we have to depend on and this is this has application in many areas of life where do you see this in the migilla so one of the places I see I see this in I I usually see this in the migilla is what I always think is a to me the most moving part of the migilla When Morai asked Esther Hamala to go ahead and to plead on behalf of her people and intervene with Akash that he should resend the decree of Laashared. So he sees that Esther is hesitant. So there were two ways two approaches that how Misharab how Morai could react. He sees she's hesitant. So on the one hand, he can say, "Listen here, Esther. You got to do this because if we you don't do this, then we're all going to go down the drain and we're counting on you and without you there is no hope and therefore you have to do this. You have no choice in the matter." You know, that's one approach. That's not the approach that Morai takes. The reproach that Morai takes is Esther. Esther, okay, this is your moment. If you take it, you and your family will be remembered forever. But if you don't, like mo God has his ways and there'll be somebody else who will save the Jewish people and it won't be Miguel Esther it'll be Migillas Rus or Miguel Rael or Migillas Miriam or Migillas Morai or Migillas somebody else because has his ways he's put you in this place this is your calling but don't think that it's You are nobody. Ultimately we pull our fa we put our face faith in the people that have put their faith in you be embarrassed. That is part of the message of of purum and it c it comes into play very often in life that we have to realize that God runs the world and we have to put our faith in him. Yeah, maybe you have heard this story before, but uh Rabbi Belski Zanra was uh Rashivan Turvadas and he was part of the pis the big pisk pisk for the OU in in the cautious division. So he had a very very serious uh heart issue one night. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was a ruptured aorta or something like that. Something really really really serious and uh they they rushed him to my hospital in in Brooklyn, New York and they had to do surgery on him. So Rabi Bellski is a famous person and you know has many many talum etc. and and the Askconim who were involved there with Bellski. It's not a not a simple matter. They came to the hospital and they wanted to transfer Rabbi Bilski to some New York City hospital rather than the the local mymonities in in Bora Park and they had already called a surgeon to perform the surgery and Rabbi Belski said no he's not going to a Manhattan hospital. They called this guy. this guy's ready to do the surgery to go ahead and to um to say well sorry we want somebody better would be an insult to him this is a non-Jewish surgeon and if the wants me to live he'll be the and if he won't then no will be will be able to help me kakava he performed the surgery it was a successful surgery and Rabbi Bowski lived lived that is because he put his faith under. Now this is not on the same dar that uh Rabbi Bowski story and I don't know if I would be able to act like that in other circumstances but several years ago actually in serious muva I I passed out I was at home passed out u my son wife took me to the hospital it it turned out I had a I I needed a pacemaker. Uh so they asked me who's your cardiologist? I said I have no cardiologist and bas have not needed one. So one of the staff uh surgeons was called cardiologist was called in to uh to to put in the pacemaker. Now again a pacemaker has not a ruptured or or aorta but um the the fellow's name is uh AJ Sudan s o o d a n aj a j a y uh fellow from India um and he was going to go ahead and and put in the pacemaker. Now, under normal circumstances, if I had to go pick a cardiologist, so I'd go ahead and ask around and ask my doctor, ask other people, you know, who's the who's the top guy? Uh, I don't think they would have chosen AJ's bel AJ Sudan. But I said to myself, the British put me here. He put he put this guy. He's chose this guy. So even though I'm not thrilled today with I see him you know every six months or so not thrilled with him he seems like a competent doctor but he would not have been my choice but I said this is the surgeon that reunish chose for me and I'm going to stick with him um because I felt that this was Hashka. Now this is not the same league as Rabbi Belski but I think it's the same concept. I try to have my faith in the reun and rely on him to what uh to what he decides. When people ask me how do you pick him? I said I didn't pick him did and that's good enough for me.
