Ask somebody older
where they were
on November 22nd, 1963,
and they will tell you
exactly where they were.
That's the day that
President Kennedy was shot
and the world changed forever.
We all will remember where we were
on Motzei Shabbos
when we heard the news.
Trump's been shot!
And maybe for a split second,
your heart stopped beating.
Because let's make no mistake about it,
had the president been killed,
world history would
have been altered forever.
We're living in hectic, chaotic times,
and we hope that אם ירצה השם soon,
things will become more calm.
But why was the president saved?
What saved him?
He was standing at the podium,
speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania,
and suddenly, the shots were fired.
A madman, who was 130 yards away,
he shot Trump
and had the president not
turned his face the slightest bit,
instead of nicking his ear,
he would have been killed instantly.
One turn of the head
can alter, not only your personal future,
but the trajectory of the entire world.
There are those that can acquire
an Olam, a whole Olam Haba,
in one שעה.
Says the Sfas Emes,
שעה doesn't only mean a moment,
it means
שעה to turn.
If you're facing the possibility
of looking at something immoral,
something inappropriate,
and you fight with your Yetzer Hara
and you turn your head
one slight turn,
you can save yourself,
your life and your future דורות.
Absolutely incredible.
Just know that the Yetzer Hara
has us in his crosshairs.
One turn
and you change everything forever.
But I want to end with one idea,
one idea that is the
message of Vayimaen.
Yes, of course we must turn,
but know this,
There are times when you will try to turn
and the Yetzer Hara will nick you,
and you will come out
and you're hurt and you're wounded
and you are spiritually bloodied.
Don't leave that stage
before you can raise your fist,
and you can look
at the enemy and say,
Fight!
Because that can inspire
an entire world.
