you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold lag recorded with
the shims never-ending assistance in
Roma Bhishma Israel 5780 2020 I like to
share the Oh beautiful piece from
replica shmoo Levites from secrets
muster and it's always fun and exciting
when the idea or the lesson that you
feel like you're learning that week
comes up when you open the safe for the
first time to the partial okay I have a
thought from remember Levites and I also
have a thought from
Irish in his safe our Marty toda vendo
shotty which I received this week from a
friend of a music friend Menachem Herman
who lives in my neighborhood amazing
musician breslav er gave me this amazing
idea of appreciating the value of what
we have in the face of not receiving
that which we want how do we deal with
that okay so that I received and that I
felt like was the message for this week
for me personally and I feel like this
is exactly what Redemption will novice
is speaking about here Oh Cheryl
kindness is the joy of life how do we
appreciate just the fact that we're
alive
how earnest hoc male so in our partial
partial schmoes so the egyptians see
this rapidly expanding nation of the
jewish people and they're afraid and
they're afraid that they're gonna be
overrun by the jewish people and they
said let's let's do something about this
let's be let's be smart let's create
some kind of plan almost a dollar so you
just tell us it's up it's a good morning
so good a few Dolloff i'm an olive
should I show you boys eight sir
when pyro said to his advisors I want to
create some kind of plan to deal with
this Jewish problem so there were three
advisors who are his main advisors bill
um the eiv is right the first one was
bill um the famous bilham curses tries
to curse the Jewish people ends up
blessing them layer in the Taira ye of
job according to this opinion he was the
one who had tremendous challenges in his
life difficulties in his life it was a
righteous person
he had been one of the advisors apparel
as well and the third one was gyro
motion rubbing his father-in-law so now
each one of them took a different
approach when it came to giving advice
about how to deal with the Jewish people
bilham sure jyotsna Rock says gazelle
our sages say that bilham he gave
negative advice he said kill the Jews
kill their babies etc so what happened
so he was killed
yoshua sock knee time you saw him he was
quiet and what happened the result was
that he as a result of being quite
didn't say anything he was silent so he
received difficulties he received
challenges yes we are famous the
difficulty is the pain of job yes we
shibaura
what did you throw do he ran away since
he ran away zakhm you've been a bond of
Jewish religious ago so you won't have
anything to do with it he wouldn't be
quiet he wouldn't show his his that he
agreed in any way as a result he ran
away and his great great grandchildren
were to be of course the children of
Moshe I may know his great grandchildren
and they would be those who sat in
lishka psychosis in the temple from the
great sages of the people of Israel he
neighbor aren't you shall build him
certainly discussion in Earth Michelle
you've so replenishments asked an
important question when we look at
things on the surface so it would seem
that
yo've did a better thing is silent
bilham did terrible thing he advised
power to kill the children to kill the
Jews and what happened bilham didn't get
such a I mean he got he died I'm saying
it's bad but he seems to have gotten a
worse punishment he bilham yachts
rallies Ravi Liu Yu Shu Suk bilham gave
bad advice
it was quite little irony or shanshu
shot you've come around watch the show
bilham what's worse to have a life full
of pain and difficulties in children
dying and terrible sicknesses bill
narraboth Arif
the one was killed that's it one two
three is done if you need any swim or
even a rush a mechanical asylum ye of
God
terrible punishments terrible
difficulties terrible Eucerin
I don't know if it's punishments but
terrible challenges and difficulties
person can't withstand such type of
difficulties so how do we see cockades
out how does it how do you understand
this that bilham who gave bad advice so
you got a pretty quick death and you
have had to go through all these
challenges and difficulties so he lays
down a foundation for us an amazing
foundation it's so amazing it's so deep
need to think about my assign an autumn
Higuera hatov what can a person complain
what can a person complain about the
fact that he has certain things that
he's not his life isn't the way he wants
what can you complain about he's alive
perish rushing rushing condition enough

Thank You ash um Thank You Hashem
unbelievable everything I shouldn't does
is for my good some all this is this is
a part for me it tolls for me it helps
me out I just heard last night for my
Russian ship for a pair
he said I'm Marshall from LA I believe
it's woke up this time that guy comes up
to show me I'm after 120 years and they
you know they bring out his mistress
they bring out the melaka my angels that
were created for his missus and they put
them on one side and there he's very
skinny very skinny not he didn't do the
missus with so much you know his Lavos
he wasn't so into it great these little
you know skinny little my lock him then
they bring out that various my luck on
that he created from his a virus and
they're these big hefty fat my locking
angels that you know because he did a
beer with a with tons of dish mac he was
very into it and he's like oh my god i
have no chance i have no chance and then
they bring out the Asuran they bring out
the challenges they bring out the
difficulties those who says bring him
out and those guys are really heavy
those guys are zaftig as he said if fat
and they're juicy and they stand on the
side right next to the missus right next
to the angels that he created with his
commandments and all of a sudden he
breathes a sigh of relief he can breathe
again because he knows that although
he's a very so very heavy
he's got more you sewer and he's got
more challenges he lived through so many
challenges and difficulties and to the
extent that a person's Makabe be a lie
he receives it with with love they
become stronger
that was my laughing that we create by
going through the challenges Thank You
ash um for my challenges thank you I
shouldn't we don't Davin that we should
have them but thank you much um for the
challenges the fact that I'm alive
coming back to replenish we live it's
the fact that I'm alive
I also heard from Irish Kashif he tells
of my so that this guy came to him on
time you know he called him on the phone
he said have a very important question
to ask you we didn't know what the issue
was he came over the guy
/ and he said you know I had this cousin
that I'm dominant for all the time he's
free for years I don't know a decade
more you've been sitting in his chair he
can't move and you know he can't really
go out you can't you can't do anything
he's he's a paraplegic I believe he was
and I para said to me you know does he
look out the window I think so does he
see that our birds flying by the window
and does he hear them chirping said I
think so he's like do you understand the
value of a moment of life just being
able to look out the window and see the
blue sky and hear the birds chirping
it's so valuable it's so valuable we
don't appreciate how how valuable life
is we think that if a person can't can't
do anything that his life has no value I
should why should I dive him for him
that was his question should I be diving
that he he that he be well that he
continued to live the life like that and
she was like that's you don't appreciate
the value of life so that's what he's
saying over here looking at you looking
at bilham bilham had no life few Z's he
got killed but yo still was alive so he
only had challenges and difficulties at
least he was still alive some Costello
shirts weekly a st. Kate's bashir person
joining speak without end I show y'all
casually a garish the clock charisa boys
a love I love person shouldn't even
notice the things just like that guy in
the marshal he won the lottery
reason needs to feel like wow I woke up
this morning I won the lottery
Orlovsky says both in jest and seriously
I asked him about it he said I saw him
recently at a simcha he says when they
asked him what's his favorite mitzvos
isn't until I see a time in the morning
when I get up I'm happy that I'm alive I
appreciate that I'm alive it's my
favorite Mitzvah Hashem I need no shame
like they say in Israel thank God I'm
breathing call it Curtis a boy so love I
feel Eve soon get done about Summa
mercury-arc
even a great challenge as a person can
go through I am at UK F is Akash Loomis
I gotcha so I shall at some kind of fact
that I'm alive the joy that I can have
in the fact that I'm alive thank you i
shun that I'm alive that joy it's
it has the potential for us if we focus
on properly to take away the sadness of
these through in the jail the challenges
that we go through the sale a parish
this is what it means we wish I were
done I'm Ella called a Shaolin King
David said yes so he certainly covered
I'm always learning tsunami God gave me
challenges in difficulty but he didn't
leave me to die after a shambles from
you darlin
what is that what does it mean was the
first mean it means to say that even
though Hashem has given me tremendous
challenges the King David had tremendous
challenges things like Mulan Lama Vizsla
and son honey she didn't leave me to die
lyonie I'm still alive okay let Argost
be some cloud I don't have to notice all
of the challenges and difficulties other
my mr. Imus I know math colicare boys
love when a person complains about all
of the difficulties and challenges the
car upon him the like Kali bulimic Marga
sh-sh-shark i'ma go softly doesn't
appreciate the amazing good fortune that
he has to be alive I love a customer
Adam Adam I'm sorry I'm gonna mess up
how you read this on the media Carla
Yavin near sugar Bahama Sneden a person
who I mean it's be care a person
criticizes person who doesn't appreciate
what he has he doesn't understand he's
like an animal was the idea I don't V

snip new cashew hockey Bahama Mama heal
it he's living like an animal he doesn't
an animal doesn't understand anything
doesn't know what's going on doesn't
have consciousness doesn't have
awareness so a person who doesn't
appreciate what he has doesn't
appreciate his life what's it worth
what's it worth for Leigh Ellis
Automation America Reyes a shark eye
model of Sedona Cameron person who
doesn't appreciate it properly he could
lose it completely he brings out a
magician amazing shot nimesh going back
to the toy yaakov of being to parshas to
go Rocco Vivino comes into power comes
into Pharaoh and Pharaohs sees this very
very old man 130 years all you system
how old are you what's what's the story
in Yaakov Avena says I'm 130 years old
and and my life hasn't reached
age of my father my grandfather you know
yes live live to be 180 Jakov rome lived
375 I haven't gotten to be as old as
them and my life is very bitter he
started complaining you had a very tough
life you had problems with a sieve
running after him he had troubles with
love on you've a problem with Dina yeah
the eyes of you didn't see for 22 years
you know about to complain about Hazael
Telesur as a result of this complaint he
only lived another 17 years he lived 147
if you count the words of these cooking
from the word by Yo Ma para Aliaga from
where it says that para spoke to Jacob
there are 33 words corresponding to the
33 years that Yaakov lost because of his
complaint yak who didn't appreciate
obviously on Yaakov's level yeah I
didn't appreciate the life the goodness
to the fact that he had life and as a
result to the fact that he complained
about it 33 years were taken away from
his life he could have lived 180 just
like his father he only was 247 lost out
so it's so important it's essential to
say thank you I could the schmuck who
for my life appreciate the fact that we
are alive appreciate the fact that we
have so many opportunities to serve a
college bar who even a person who's
going through challenges in his life
there's so many opportunities but I said
to do kindness others to give sadaqa to
give charity to learn Tyra there's so
many things that we can do this so many
misses 613 minutes is that we can
fulfill and that's the amazing
opportunity that we have let's not
complain about it let's say thank you
i'll kodesh beaucoup not just thank you
for a life as viruses but thank you for
the challenge thank you for the
difficulty I know the opposition more
clue you have my best interests in mind
you care so much about me this must be
for my good
thank you I go did you borrow who for
the challenge thank you for the
difficulty okay he brings down something
also very interesting he says I hired
when marilla high advise channel I
remember that lame or I'll tear a family
mug in La Habra mode he brings down
another measure the measures tells us
that Avram Aveeno
was reassured by others for who don't
worry you have a great amount of state
of a great amount of reward what was
Adams worried
his worry was local this Michael you
saved me from the fire and or costume go
Sparkle you saved me you saved my life I
should have died in the battle with the
four kings and the five kings you say
you keep you you keep saving my life but
you know protecting me I'm afraid to die
from Ivy know that I'm losing my scar in
the world to come
I'm losing my reward in the world to
come as a result of the fact that you're
taking care of me now you're saving my
life maybe I'm giving up something in
the future Calatrava says don't worry oh
this is a madness Keenan this is a free
gift don't worry I'm gonna take care of
you you're still gonna have them I
bought you didn't lose anything
because I saved your life and the
question that I'm sure will of his asks
is what's going on here what's he so
worried about well what's the what was
his concern
what was his concern she says an amazing
thing exactly the idea that that we said
which is the fact that he got life the
fact that he he could he could have and
should have died and if all things would
have been natural he couldn't I should
have died the fact that a person is
alive is so powerful and amazing the
fact that Avram Avena was saved and
given life that he perhaps didn't
deserve that's what he was concern about
perhaps I'm losing out in the world to
come because that's how amazing and
powerful just the fact that I'm alive
that's how amazing and powerful it is
venire mica I want to read that part
inside
Chiaki scar mister bahama let go even
though as the Gemara tells us in
condition there's no such thing as
reward in this world for a mitzvah
- Chicago LM cool I ain't but kid they
harm Asahi's you can't really receive
how can you receive you know the we
don't understand what amidst is when we
fulfill command when he gets it sucker
when we learn Tyra so we don't
understand how amazingly powerful it is
and and the effects it hasn't no in the
oil and sell you name in the upper
worlds and and that the reward is knit
is eternal reward so you can't really
get that in this world right let me call
my own yeah sure never equitably up
Charlotte's car mister should leash now
Mama's are there's one thing that you
could be paid for in this world why
Matt's mom the very fact that you're
alive the very fact that a person is
alive is so amazing and powerful so
awesome
good fortune giggling oh I should have
claimed a tomorrow you'd the the the
joyous fact that we're alive is so
awesome commercial or like we explained
again it goes through I'm not gonna read
it inside it goes through an amazing
thing with with the you know has I'll
tell us it's a it's a mission in office
that in a certain sense you have a
moment in on haba if a moment in the
world to come the the ecstatic enjoyment
of feeling a cottage ball whose radiance
of feeling the presence of a Kurdish
worker who is so awesome and amazing
that if you put together all of the
moments of enjoyment of every single
person who ever lived from the beginning
the world to the end of the world you
wouldn't even get one moment of
enjoyment and I know how Bock in the
world to come
but seska's al you can't compare a
moment here in this world of juvie and
my sometime of repenting and doing good
deeds you can't compare that to a moment
in the world to come meaning there's
something in a certain way being in this
world being alive and using that life to
do what's right to learn Tyra to do
chuhwa repent to do good deeds using
Bing McNutt cell using the the life to
taking advantage of life to do spiritual
things with it when we use the
opportunity correctly so the result is
that we live in this world an amazing
experience which is beyond anything even
in the world to come hard to understand
what this means but that's what it says
so he brings an example of really
amazing by gross at table flippity
Russell my husband sits Yosef it's a
famous thing to grab before he passed
away a baby no le oweme Vilna before he
passed away he grabbed onto his citizen
II held him in his hands and he said Oh
bummer my yucker
who I am I said how precious is this
world should become a proto specialist
case and missus for a few pennies a few
dollars you can get them it suits it sis
Valera Spanish latina and as a result of
it you can experience the divine
revelation I could borrow who feel the
bite of my bow you have sure let's think
about call Hine one person gets outta my
bar there's no more opportunities like
that this is the time
this is the time and this is the place
we are there we are alive
how much appreciation we need to have
for our lives and I think it's also you
know you look at the poshest and we look
at the challenges difficulties class I
went through the Ovilus the slavery yeah
we're gonna learn about the gula but
let's appreciate for a moment the fact
that clients are went through these deep
deep challenges for a very long time she
would lasted for four decades for
decades and we were there for two
hundred ten years but the actual
difficult she bit lasted for decades
maybe even even though maybe could say
almost over 100 years and well you know
like it's it's difficult to read they
called out that there's more lose so
tabbles why I shouldn't do that to them
but we see that somehow we see and I
personally seen in my life I'm sure many
of you have seen in your lives when I
could walk who sends us challenges those
challenges make us greater we grow from
the challenge we grow from the
difficulties and we need to say thank
