Solution Over Problems: The Mincha Area Story #shorts

The main foundation that I say, the main planting was when there's a problem make sure that it's a solution, not a problem. That means people say to me, "What's the problem?" There's no problem. There's a solution. We may not know it yet. And the Mincha area is one of those like beautiful classic stories where my father gets a phone call from the major up in in Troop T, I think it was called and the thruway. And he says, "Rabbi we're going to start having problems with people on the road. We're going to start writing summonses. People might actually even get arrested because these guys, you know, they pull over on the side and the kids are running around and it's dangerous and it's putting people's lives at risk." Some people would get up and say, "Guys, you can't do this. Find a shul. Get off the highway." But my father knows what's real, you know. He knows what people will or won't do, which I will tell you a great story that led into this story, but my father knows. So, instead of taking that route, he goes, "Let's find a solution." And he came up with this idea for the Mincha area. And you should know the first few years it was actually called the Mincha area.
