They unalived his wife. They unalived
his 11 children. And what was his
response? He built a hospital.
The closenal came out of the holocaust
with nothing. He could have walked away
from the world, from people, from life.
But instead, he built Laniato Hospital
not for recognition, not for power, but
so that no one, no matter what they've
been through, would suffer alone or be
treated without dignity. It wasn't just
a hospital. It was a message. Even from
the ashes, you are still worthy. Even
after trauma, you still belong. And
that's exactly what Parasro is coming to
teach us. Before the thunder, before the
lightning, before Hashem gave us thus,
he says something quiet but [music]
world changing
Israel. And Rashi explains on leak
is saying to speak gently to those who
need it. Make sure the ones who are
hurting don't feel [music] pushed aside.
Hashem doesn't just deliver the Torah to
the strongest. He invites the broken as
well. If you're listening to this right
now and you feel broken from trauma,
from addiction, mental health, [music]
or abuse, let me tell you, you still
belong at the mountain. You are not
invisible. You are not damaged. You have
not missed your moment. You are still a
part of the story. As the
calman Shapiro had written,
there is nothing more damaging to the
soul than to feel unseen. And that is
what this par is coming to undo. Before
the Torah was given, Hashem gave
validation, [music] a gentle voice, a
place to stand. And the Closenberger Reb
didn't stop at survival. He spent the
rest of his [music] life rebuilding
others.
Planiano Hospital became the home where
people were treated as human beings, not
as numbers, not as cases, but as souls.
He had said, "They took everything from
me, but they didn't take who I am." That
is strength. That is healing, and that
is Torah. This is turning the wheel
because the road to healing isn't
straight. [music] But no one should have
to travel alone. Thank you very much,
and have [music] a great chabas.
