Challenges.
Challenges and challenges and challenges.
That's what we feel today.
A person is walking in the street,
he feels he’s just challenged.
It's just too much.
He can't do it.
The truth of the matter is,
is that I learned
from Rabbi Avigdor Miller,
that it's not about challenge,
it's opportunity.
And I'd like to explain to you.
I was at a gathering
in someone's house,
and Rabbi Miller עליו השלום,
Rabbi Avigdor Miller
was the guest speaker there.
And at the end of his lecture, he offered
to answer any questions on any topics.
And somebody raised their hand
in the crowd and asked,
What do we do
regarding Shemirat Einayim?
And please don't tell us to learn Torah,
because we do that every day.
We're in shul early in the morning.
We learn Torah before we pray.
We learn Torah,
many of us, after we pray.
We go back at night,
we learn Torah.
But yet,
the minute we walk
out of the Beit Midrash,
the minute we walk
out of the synagogue,
we are attacked.
We are attacked by posters, by billboards,
by people
improperly dressed in the street.
What does one do about this?
And Rabbi Miller said,
You have no idea how lucky you are.
I grew up in America.
And America, when I was growing up,
was a decent place.
Everybody dressed modest,
everybody dressed צנוע.
In order to receive that great Schar,
it was almost impossible.
Today, all you have to do
is walk out of your home.
You're walking in the street,
you see something improperly,
you put your head down
and you keep walking.
You're a בן עולם הבא.
And just not any type
of בן עולם הבא,
but that great, great Schar
that’s waiting for those people
who are Shomer in this area.
He says: This is a golden opportunity.
When I was young,
I didn't have this opportunity.
But yet, you people in this generation,
you have this opportunity
to gain Olam Haba in such an easy way,
just by putting your head down,
keep walking
and you have the greatest Schar,
the greatest נצח נצחים,
לעולמי עולמים, אמן.
