Tonight we had the cover to have with us
again.
Are you ready for L Har?
It's good.
>> Rabbi Bita, I'm going to jump from
subject to subject tonight. I'm not
going to talk on one subject. So if you
want to fall asleep on one subject, you
get up for the next subject.
First we're going to speak about which
is tomorrow night which
Lestein you heard of him. He was the
and he was a
said he would have been 500 years ago.
He said in America we could say on all
of our shalom
It's coming up. It's a pel. I'm I'm I'm
moneying myself.
I have a court case in 30 days, right?
So when you have a court case, you don't
sit on top of a mountain in Switzerland.
You're not on vacation. you're talking
to lawyers,
you know, it's an answer
coming to the
and
but if you looked at the sadikim from
the previous generation, the question is
what happened in America that is not
such a serious time.
They wanted to convince there was a
he used to live in America. He was a
rebears
ago before my time. Then he became
that's
so they nudged him at when he was in the
80s turning 90 go away a little bit of
on vacation take a break
and they told him takes a break was was
a big maj was a one from the maj
says
you think of
is going to to to rest up. He's
preparing himself for
and then
after his tal came and said
went on vacation in the summertime in
order to work through what he's going to
do in he didn't want to be disturbed
with anybody
was one of the biggest
he writes
and you're told when I was growing up in
Vienna in Austria of he says when I was
growing up when you told the
from you told them that we're now in
either they started to cry or a face
changed like a white face like you know
a serious face
the
writes
before
before World War Who?
They went to work.
They stayed
without eating
was to perfect themselves
that we don't have this no more.
So
we can't change it but we got to make a
as long as we're talking about
today is already something you know
we're not going to be afraid not
changing
if Levenstein used to say
there's two days this last day in and
then he says if the first day ofishes is
not already then you could kiss the
month goodbye Doesn't mean you should
give up hope, but you got to start off
with a bren.
And what did the do he made a big he
made that the summer comes out. So it's
very hard to get the bren when you you
know when you're relaxing.
We're not asking a person should get you
know
but a person has to has to ask himself
what am I going to work on this? Does
anybody have a plan for yet? What am I
going to do this? I lived another year,
almost a year
will be 11 months a gift from And most
of you sitting over here weren't in the
hospital a whole year, right? You didn't
break a bone. You didn't fall.
You had food. You had air conditioning.
You had a bathroom in your house. You
didn't have to go to an outhouse.
Remember those times? I don't remember
it, but my father does. He did. He's not
living no more. You know what I mean? My
father was born in America and he went
to Europe when he was 11 years old cuz
his sisters went off to fry. He went to
a place semi high. There wasn't one
paved road. There wasn't electricity at
night in the house in the streets and
you had to go to an outhouse. It took
him six months to get used to it. And in
the winter it was cold. He says you had
to go to a lantern in the outhouse. And
this is a boy what knew what a bees was
if you don't know about it.
And we don't have to do this. Do you
ever ask a question to yourself? Why is
Hashem so kind to this generation?
We have air conditioning. You know how
hot was the summer was in Lakewood? It
was very hot. I don't know about
Brooklyn, but also was very hot. But you
went into an air conditioned room. You
have cold water all over.
So the Aisha was kind to us 11 months
and now you ask a person, you stop him
in the street. So what's your plans for?
Uh he didn't think about it.
So if you could get just in this is to
think about it to talk about it then
you're already already on a on on a
mahal of something if you don't want to
be is the whole thing and you're just
busy
that's not the real preparation so I
can't make a fright for I'm not capable
I'm trying to do it to myself and I'm
having difficulties but as long as used
to say he says when it came to the
mikdas we had A few weeks ago we were
mourning the mikd says you have to tell
the that I feel bad that I don't feel
bad this famous words he used to say the
likes when you're honest with him you
got to tell the listen we're living in
America there's no pocket from the once
came into the with a k with a k they ask
is everything okay with you he says I
don't see no p of I want to walk around
with a k to remind you something so
We're not going to change it. But if we
could think about it and come up with a
plan how we're going to find favor
I want to give you a simple thing but
doesn't take too much effort and you can
do it easy. Buy yourself a pad. Don't
write it on your smartphone and your
cell phone. Leave that out. This is a
dodg.
Buy yourself a pad and write down every
day two things what you thank Hashem for
in the previous year. Thank Hashem that
your glasses didn't break,
right? Thank Hashem you didn't fall off
your bed.
Thank Hashem for this and and you'll see
how much you owe and you'll become
you'll become humble to and that's easy
thing you could do. It's not the person
too much
used to say used to say that is a time
to get busy
thanking
and he used to say once called him up I
said you have an for me I want to live
another year
so he said you say it in davening every
day I was quiet said you don't know so I
said no I don't know he says you say it
every day in dining where do you say it
says You say
what are you going to gain if I go on
the ground
to praise you? So you see if you want to
live a life you have to praise we have
to know that learning is also a way of
praising but not always could you learn
sometimes you have to work and while
you're working you have to thank that
you could work you have a job whatever
it is so I think that's a a a m of a
plan how we could come to this how we
could use this for if you have a
different mahal
is of other good but if you don't have
then follow this program of thanking and
that's what Rab Miller said
somebody called him up called him up
and asked him
I want to live another year she says you
know what you should do onash when
you're walking home from shul smile put
a smile on your face and the guy asked
him are you for real
he says if you walk around with a smile
then you're proclaiming that is is a is
a
walking around with a smile. But if you
walk around like like with a sad face
that you're complaining about a if you
if it was a hot day and you complained
in front of Rabbi Millet that it's a hot
day. If you said the word nasty day, you
got it. What do you mean it's nasty?
Doesn't do anything nasty. If it rained,
he went excited with you know somebody I
don't know since he was nif anybody gets
excited over rain. You see it's raining
outside you start clapping your hands.
My mother-in-law tells me when she was a
kid, she was growing up in her father's
house, when it was rain, he used to pot,
she used to dance. She asked him, "Papa,
what's going on? Raining 70% of you is
full of water. It's the biggest gift
greater." Now, you have to understand
the but that's what the Gmorra says. So,
rain is thing. So, people complain. Oh,
it's so hot. Who do you think made it
hot? How kuresh made it hot? Why they
didn't make it hot for I don't know ask
him when you get up after 120 say you
want to have an audience with but people
complain when it's hot the average
person in Flatbush in Lakewood Morap and
Willie hot
okay
now we want to say something else what
you should do in you ready for this
it says is
something what nobody does either. Now
you have to know when something is so
important the haram my good friend
puts a damp on it and we don't do it. It
says in let's read it rashi together.
Why did the Tyra put Miriam when Miriam
spoke against Moenu
next to the
she spoke against
they didn't take m
so we see from over here that you got to
learn mus
Right.
They saw but they didn't take M. Now
let me quote you a little bit from some
to know how how it is how important it
is to learn Musulapian.
You all heard of him Lapian. He was a
big majik. He was in the end of his the
year towards the end of his life.
Me learning
said,
"Right
said that if you don't learn
and he praised the certain yeshiva
Everybody opened up
learn
so when he said no basically said no
said a place where I learn mus I feel
you know on the east side the old men
used to it's not no bimson no more you
don't remember those days the old men
used to the east side they used to offer
you a little tab in the morning that
also died outmec they did it you
remember that you you remember that no
not in Lakewood I never saw anybody
walking around with
ameck thing often what in they have it
still okay but
said if you don't learn mus even ameck
is not worth the yeshiva now could I ask
you a personal question you don't have
to answer me that did everybody anybody
learn mus today does anybody have a say
how we're going to come to the next
world after 120
beautiful
but where's the most
Now the you heard of the Mr. Bur brings
him down a thousand times. I want to
read you the
writes.
You got to learn forum of
it's a big than all you're learning.
Even if it will become nullified
if you're going to learn mus you're not
going to be able to learn.
You got to learn the mus
what is from you to be afraid of him.
Now, we're living in a society that we
don't have we're not afraid of nobody.
When I was growing up, that's about 100
years ago. I was afraid of my father.
Not that he beat me up ever. Maybe a few
times I got a patch, but I was afraid. I
was afraid. Today, there's no afraid.
The fathers
tell me they're afraid of the kids today
already. That's gonna be an of the I
told him you can't argue with it's gonna
say
can't argue with
is not going to be found
and it's going to be other which I don't
want to say openly but all the we have
we see already
says and he writes in you want to hear
what
I'm ask you my children
We wrote in his will
you shouldn't hold yourself back
one page
that goes before
I went to my uncle the m
I said you belong to that right before
each they should learn the should learn
five 10 minutes m he says you're very
right but I it's not going to happen. I
asked my uncle because the is not going
to let because it's so important our
greatgrandfather
every day before the learned
did it I want to read you heard of the
nas was in the time of one of the
biggest we had listen what he writes in
this is the last will what they're
writing the will you know the will you
go to the law you write a will
I'm warning
And our hearts became like stone
and if you learn m it will soften your
heart
and pass like that in simmon olives.
says
and
writes
we know that
so we have two we have a two two parts
to our program we're going to thank
we're going to write down two things so
we're going to have to think don't ask
AI what you should thank our auding
to tomorrow night. That's Wednesday
night. Uh show you this is Thursday,
Thursday, Friday. Shabas don't write you
write much of Shabas
and also join the program. And the
second program is there's no excuse not
to learn Muslim just like without art
scroll nobody would learn
to have the shar in English from Rabbi
Miller and art scroll has Rabbi Miller
has
many already in English beautiful
there's so many now don't tell me that
you listen to these speakers today and
this one that's very good but it doesn't
come to the shore
The shash was written
every word the said if he would have
been in the times of he would have
walked just to have one word from the
shash. So start tomorrow night and
you'll see what the mash teaches you and
you'll climb the ladder slowly but
slowly even if it doesn't make it then
this alone that that you're learning mus
I want to tell you something the say as
follows.
If there's justice done down here, then
the looks away.
That's what happened with Pinas. Pinas
went and did what he had to do when Zimi
and this s
now it saved the whole one person saved
the whole Mafa. Why did one person save
the whole? Because the cloud is
says
if you learn you're going to live
because you're doomed on yourself.
You're looking into your actions. When
you learn you don't look think about
think about yourself.
So now you have a guarantee that you I
can't there's no guarantees that you
live another year because you're doomed
in on yourself when you learn m you
figure
when you start reading the words of the
person came down to this world for the
next world I want to tell you a story
what happened with me and Rabbi Miller
my wife's grandfather is
he had a in lakewood's
son-in-law
had a boy and they wanted me to convince
Rabbi Miller to come to Lakewood. He was
born in America. He was never in
Lakewood.
So I came I went down to Flatbush. I had
to ask him something anyway. Whenever I
had an opportunity to go to him, I went
to him. I wanted to speak to him. So he
says to me, "They want you to be cobb."
He says, "Aren't you a Coen?" I said,
"Yeah, but they didn't ask me. They're
asking you." So then he says to me, so I
said, "You'll speak in bismaya." She
says, "That's the last thing I want to
do."
I said, "You'll see you'll see you'll
see the in Lakewood Lakewood was quarter
the size those days." He says, "Could
you promise me more oil if I stop doing
what I'm doing? I come to Lakewood." So
I said, "I don't I don't own I don't own
Haba to promise you more or less." He
says, "Then don't give me any advice."
That means every time Rabbi Miller did
something with Mik what the mashim said
came down to this world only to get to
the next world
and he was maka never came to like never
made it there believed to 92 and a half
now I'm not saying you shouldn't go
there but him and his and his didn't
have time to do it that's what the
teaches us and you say it to yourself a
thousand times you're walking and the
street shabas there's no there's no cell
as of now there's no shab cell phone yet
they're going to make it soon and there
going to be an argument between the
watch it another 20 years they're going
to come out I don't even know 20 years
right you have people ask me why am I so
against cell phone I'm not against cell
phones personally because but doesn't
let you think in the street you're
walking in the street you could think
you can look up at the sky people tell
me they went
Switzerland or they went to Morocco.
They saw something valdic. So I was in
Campura this week. So I took out the
boys. I said, "I want to show you
something. You know how old this thing
is? It's 5,786
years old." They were looking at me.
Yeah. Let me see it. Look at the moon.
It's 5,000. Say, "Why do you have to go
to Switzerland or Morocco to see
something old? I could show you the
moon,
the sun." So when you're walking in the
street and you look up and you see the
sun shining, who made the sun, how does
the sun go in and out,
it's all hashem. But when you're on the
phone, you can't think. And that's what
it accomplished that we lost a thinking
process. And that's what AI is going to
do eventually.
What does a person have over an animal?
His thinking process. If you're going to
stop thinking
then what do we have then of
now once we're on this already I want to
explain you why the made I want to read
you from a cyer
the is called living with haba
the makaba is a young man in lake with
rabbi he
so I they gave me the safer somebody
gave Give it to me
now. What's the big what's the pushes
the man's? What's the biggest ta for a
person? Not talking about food. What's
the biggest ty what a person has? Tell
me
what does the masham say is the biggest
ta what pushes the man's heart more than
any other thing in the world. Five.
covered.
I was once speaking to a guy he tells me
he does everything. After 15 minutes, I
convinced him everything what he does is
for cover. And at the end, he agreed to
me. I'm a
I like cover. So I could
now listen what he says over here.
People love cover. I'm quoting you from
Rabbi Miller brought down in this cyer.
I heard this from Rabbi Mill myself from
the standpoint of cold logic.
This is a completely irrational desire
because it seems counterproductive.
Every living creature is imbued by the
creator with certain instinctive urges
to eat, seek shelter that are necessary
for the preservation of the individual.
Every instinct serves a beneficial
purpose. You're hungry. The made it you
should become hungry because you got to
eat. made if you don't eat you'll die.
Why? That's a whole subject in itself.
What do you have to eat for? You ever
ask that question to your Rebi or the
Rav? Why did they make you have to eat
for? What's the answer to that? $5,000
cash.
>> Humble you.
>> What?
>> Humble you.
>> Humble you. But eating doesn't humble
you. The Bakisa humbles you.
Mill used to say, "Every time you leave
the Bakis, it's a lesson in Anova."
People don't think like that. If you
would listen to Rab Miller, you'd have
treasures in your mind. It's a sh. It's
a pity.
So why have to make you eat? That's a
separate question. I could tell you from
will blow your minds off. You might roll
to Morocco and back tonight still. I'm
going to tell you the shot in a few
minutes. But but co is not necessary for
a person's survival nor does it provide
any tangible benefit. It has no taste.
It's not nourishing and cannot be
deposited in their bank account. I tell
the guys in I give a shab
hundreds of people come while I'm
walking down from the beam I'm an empty
already. What happened to the cover? You
can't save it. You can't say I got
covered yesterday, today's another day.
It's never fulfilling. Ask anybody. It's
now he says of it has no taste. It's not
nourishing. Right? And it can't be
deposited in the bank account. Yet
everyone craves it.
Often this need for approval
even works that person. It works against
them. Countless people are consumed by
the efforts to win public admiration
even engaging in a reckless behavior to
attain it.
Now he says like I just said and you
never get fooled from it. Why did make
it for? You know why made it for? You
ready for the answer? But this I heard
from Rabb Miller personally. He says,
"Why do we have such a powerful
insatiable drive for something unrelated
to our needs?"
So, Rab Miller says,
"It's vital for man's existence. Cover
is a mush that you want to get the real
cover in the world of truth." So, made
that you should have a desire for cover
to remind you that you want the real
cover for
that when you come up after 120
all the should greet you and I told you
according to you say you come into let's
say would walk in
what are you supposed to think you're in
the stand and nobody's looking at you if
you behave and you doem's
when you come to the next world you'll
get the in this world it's nothing
made it such a ty
You're never full from it because you
never get full from the tin.
So this is
what do we do with this? We get bent out
of shape. This one's waiting for and
this one didn't desire didn't get the
picture and this one all the nonsense.
Everybody's bent out of shape today. All
because of the desire for cover. And the
whole cover was made only that we should
want the real cover.
So maybe did us a favor. You got it.
Now I want to say on the same thing I
want to tell you
people don't notice. If people would
notice then most of the we have would go
to wayside
there's a whole
but they were
a masterpiece of a masterpiece.
Rab Miller once said a certain statement
by Malav Mal by the last one of his
life. He says something that to say your
own ashkaf you have to know this you
have to know this. I'm not going to get
into that. So I asked him who you
leaving us with that's why there's a
printing press
that
we're not going to have these great
people. So that's why made a printing
press. So we have the we have the we
have the we have the we have the we have
all types of
came
and he wrote it and they were for him
now he says as follows and he's at
length great length in this
people we all do sins not you but
I'll give you a m how many sins But I'm
going talk about myself a little bit
now. Not for co. You get up in the
morning, you wash my you wash. That's
what we're supposed to do. We're
supposed to wash, you know, three times
in each hand. Some people put it next to
the bed. Some people wait till they get
to the kitchen. Whatever it is. Now, why
do we need a cle for a utensil? When you
wash, then you don't need a you can wash
it from the sink. But when you get up in
the morning, you have to have a cup.
That's the den
says the rajba. That's to remind us just
like the before he did the void he had
to wash from a he had to wash with a
we're reminding ourselves that we're
when we get up in the morning
we are
self-esteem the whole world is looking
for self-esteem today you are a god
you didn't do that today you did a sin
you had a glorious opportunity
made the uh Uh
they used to make you how happy we have
to be. You belong to the Jewish nation.
We're the best people in the world.
We're aristocrats.
Nobody like us. Anybody like a Jew? I
want to tell you what happened to M. I
have a friend who works in a hospital
somewhere not in Lakewood, somewhere
else. He's leaving his work one day and
Mary the head nurse, an
African-American, a very nice lady. She
tells him, "I got to tell you something.
You know how lucky you are?" She says,
"Mary, what happened?" I'm an Orthodox
Christian. I read the Bible every day.
There's a verse in
it says,
"God chose you people as his people." He
loves blacks, too, but he chose you.
Now, she doesn't know. She says, "You
guys have those sat ladies know with the
hats, they come in, they bring you a hot
soup. We don't have that. You guys have
a salah. We got to wait for an ambulance
sometime 45 minutes and we most of the
times dead when they come. You ever
thank God that he made you Jew? It's a
telling a Jew.
You say the go a Jew is never left
alone.
Ever get excited that the chose you from
the 16 million Jews in the whole world
against 8 billion non-Jews? Go Google
for me. Go take your smartphone and say,
"What's the percentage that you'll be
born a Jew?" Nothing. And you're one of
them.
You ever get excited over that? You're
never alone. A Jew is never alone.
Organizations upon organizations. What
we do for people.
You have a flat tire. You don't have to
wait for a four hours on the side of
road. They come right away.
You got to do chew on that too that you
didn't appreciate.
I once ate by a mill Friday night. I'll
tell you my mister what happened. He
asked me after the fish. What do you
think when you ate fish? I told him that
the rabbit knows how to cook very well.
He says that's that's true. But you
missed a big lesson. It's a lesson for
life.
You owe me now a million dollars cash.
You can pay it in installments, but I
want it in cash cuz I'm going to tell
you something which you never heard and
you're not going to hear it again cuz
I'm not I'm not coming back. I hope
Mashia comes and next year who knows
what's going to be.
He said the Tyrus says you have to eat
kosher fish. It has to have fins and
scales. Why? Because your kesh your
special
every time you eat a piece of fish and
you eat kosher chicken, you can't eat
some ham. me I have to eat kosher is to
remind you that you're an aristocrat you
ever think of that he tells me I said no
good thing you came
that's a lesson that everybody could do
you don't have to be a
with deep for that it's a simple talk
you could digest this I want another
thing when I ate there Friday night he
says you saw everybody uses
youn Yeah, they use Peter bread, but
they use two you need two Friday night.
What do you need two for to remind you
about the month? So, Rabbi Miller looked
at the kalas before he made k shook his
head. So, somebody asked him, "What's
the doing now?" I'mazic myself from the
everything was a li.
Soon says
people get bent out of shape when
somebody tells them a harsh word. You
know people get insulted. Human nature.
You tell me you tell me after my was
lousy wouldn't bother me already today.
Maybe other things will still bother me.
Why not? Because says brings down from
the You want to hear this?
He springs down his fellows.
We want to do we want to have
to wipe away
is to tolerate when somebody embarrasses
you.
This is the
malus. You know I'm old they used to
give malus when we had a bezik
and
some still have them in that the shamas
from the shul used to give the markus
zman used to get marus we don't do this
so much today but when you get
embarrassed and you keep quiet your wife
tells you you're such a schlamazle I
sent you to to to buy two kalas and you
came home and you and you smoozed in the
street and the time you came to the
store was closed now we have to eat
matzah from last year pes
and you got insulted He said you keep
quiet you brat. I support you.
So he lost out an opportunity from whom
is from all
you fasted a thousand days. Tolerating
when somebody embarrasses you is worth
more than all that.
Put your mind to it.
theapisha tells you my friend I want to
give you
want to lose all your money
or you want your house to be burned down
I don't want that
child to die
you want to get sick
fever
you want die.
How you going to be and rectify what you
were paging by doing a sin?
What's the solution?
When somebody embarrasses you
should be considered you like he went to
a restaurant and you ate steak.
You ever heard this yet once in your
life? I tell this to the therapist
always.
This is
pages about that. And another thing he
says, so you want to do now don't look
for it. Don't I'm not going to go
embarrass you now. Say I'm doing you. A
guy told me know what he's going to do.
Every time his wife is embarrasses him,
he's going to say you're my caporus.
I said that's going to make bias
problems. You got to keep quiet and
accept it. Say you're right. You're
right. You're right. You're right. And
then you get kaporus.
Uh Ruff told me a story. He was invited
to speak somewhere
and five minutes before the speak they
canceled his dr. They said you can't
come. He was ice. He came to he said
asked me what he should do. I said first
I want to give you a list of be for all
these
and then I said to him you got kaporus.
He says what do you mean I got kapar? I
read him this over here. He he
enlightened into so much like
so that's another way of doing chuva
tung chuv is now we're not looking for
embarrassment but it comes our way no
matter what can't help it you're
supposed to speak but I see and they
took it away from you
I'm embarrassed you hurt it's human
nature it's
works wonders and and you get kapora
I want to tell you over something for
Feinstein. A frightening thing what he
said.
He said this in Europe in Adrashia.
He says,
"How come sadikim are always happy? They
have difficult life sometimes and
they're so happy."
Sadikim have difficult a lot of sadikim
had no children
was son. They had three daughters. They
all died in his lifetime
had one daughter. She died when she was
17 and never had any children and so on
and so forth. Had no children. Sadik
closen lost his 11 children. Then he
remarried had seven children. Three
never had children. Difficult lives and
they still walk around. Watch the writes
in the letter that all my days I'm full
of pain. I have no timing in this world.
The only tiny is when I do mitzvah and I
do and I help out people.
So says like this
sadikim know that when you do a sin it's
terrible
mainly when he goes to sleep he doesn't
he thinks he doesn't deserve to get up
because he did a sin so he deserves a
punishment that's the way sadic thinks I
did a sin so if I did a sin I don't
deserve to live so when he gets up in
the morning he's so exhilarated what
happened is because of his he wasn't
supposed to live that's writing you hear
and sad goes to sleep at night. He knows
he did something wrong and he gets up in
the morning. He doesn't know what to do
with happiness. I should have been dead.
They should have carried should have
made a tire on me in the morning and
they didn't happen to me. Zak is the
happiest person.
And that's the only way you could be
happy. I want to tell you something
else. You vital limbs, but you can't
live without are inside. You can't live
without a heart. You can't live out
without a liver. You can't live without
kidneys. You could go on diialysis for a
certain amount of time. You can live
without hands, can live without feet.
You can live without seeing, you can
live without hearing. Why did the make
that your vital limbs are inside you?
This is a what I said. Dish is teaching
us happiness has to come from within. If
it's going to come from outside things,
you're never going to be happy. So
you're going to go here and you're going
to go here and you're going to go here
and then you're going to go here. You go
here. You're going to run after your
tail and you're going to see somebody
goes here, go here. You want to go also
if you're not going to be happy from
inside. said how could you be happy you
could serve
what bigger happiness could you have I
know that every time I pushed out to the
Misha's chair by doning in the house I
felt like a million dollars I was masha
Feinston I took office kapat I put him
on his house called I could serve a
kuresh shouldn't that be a treat you
only could do it on this world once you
in the next world you can't do anything
no more
so we have to be so grateful that we can
serve
But it ain't going to happen if you
don't learn.
What does doem is out of gratitude for
all what he does for us. As long as
you're living, you could serve and the
list goes on and on and on. So now we
have a program.
First thing is we're going to learn ma
every day. Second thing was we're going
to take out a pad and write down two
things and a pad. Go to the store
amazing saving and buy one a little pad
you can put in your pocket over there.
Don't tell me you wrote it on your
phone. I don't want this on the phone.
This is another This has to be a
separate pad and every day two things.
So you got to come up with 30 times two
is 60. If you can't come up with 60
things, I got to give you a list from
Rabbi Miller. He had a list. They
printed it after Lisa said of all
sicknesses what a person could have and
he didn't have one of them.
When you walked with him you passed
King's Highway is like a medical
building. He would stop and read the
sign. This I don't have. This I don't
have. This I don't have. This I don't
have. Oh, so I don't have cataracts.
I don't have high blood pressure.
The list goes on and on and on. Why
doesn't that make us happy? because it
doesn't make anybody else happy. We got
to do what everybody else does.
We desperately need the to happen.
I have to tell you a cute story
told me once that he hopes to live till
Mashia.
So I asked him, "Do you have a you have
proof?" So he smiled and he says,
"Yeah." He says, "How many people do you
know in this
generation. What gets
right
at the day they get the sh I said I only
know one
should protect you. You should be
healthy. Your wife should be healthy.
Your children, your whatever you have
should be healthy. You should have your
money. You should have your
You got to now you shouldn't become now
when you're young. You can't wait when
you're 80. Then you might lose it
already. Who dins for sanity when
they're young? You have to know. I
should stay well. I shouldn't get
cancer.
My family members shouldn't get cancer.
My neighbors shouldn't get cancer.
And then one last thing I want to give
you another also a simple
give encouraging words to people. You
see somebody
walk around with a I walk the shul a
mile point too. Some people tell me good
chabas
and some people say good chabas.
The goyam used to light list the light
to wait for Feinstein to come into the
building in the morning when he came
home from MTJ from the shift because
they got a good morning for Rabbi
Feinstein with a smile. Rabbi
Feinstein's legendary smile doesn't cost
any money. Do you know that Rab Miller
once said that the reason why he looks
in the mirror is not to see how he
looks. He knows how he looks. He wants
to practice his smile how much he should
lift from his cheek to the person's
money. You don't even have to mean it.
But it gives the person that's a and
doesn't cost any money and you don't
even have to mean it. Practice up your
smile.
