is recited after m after on Friday night after is also recited on Friday as the and the PUK says and again I'm sorry I just in recording this right near shabas so I want to get a little bit of the feel of [Applause] [Music] shabas more than the Roars of many Waters mightier than the Waters of the sea you are Mighty on high Hashem and this is referring to the May ofra when we refer to Mayim we are referring to the water that rushes through the water the M the Water of Life the water of Tyra a lot of people have all different types of wonderful uh shabbatones and sessions and symposiums to try to discover the truth of God's existence the greatest truth of God's existence is Tyra and when we learn Tyra something as basic but as fundamental as a piece of gim that you would teach to the fifth grader even though doesn't have the pizaz of these sessions where we're discovering the truth of God but the G speaks for itself hashem's Tyra speaks for itself and that is the greatest proof that the Tyra exists through the thunderous sounds of one's stud hm you want to know how Hashem is so ad he's so awesome he's so great from the from the awesome sounds of Tyra there was an event recently the adir Tyra event the adir Tyra event was an event that took place in Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia it was quite simply the most awesome display of K that I in my 54 years on this Earth have ever experienced and I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way I recommend highly recommend that you try to watch a video perhaps you can see it on any time orak try to find the video of the event to see the B to see them dancing and singing together and how everyone just was in awe of those who learn Tyra very often the mysterious neish with tremendous sacrifice in fact across all of the Arena throughout the arena there was not one advertisement there was not one symbol logo emblem nothing other than signs that spoke about the Y Man our greatest treasure the one who learns Tyra is the greatest Treasure of the Jewish people but the truth is is that if you wanted to see perhaps even a greater display of Tyra all you have to do is walk in to a basa and the sounds that reverberate throughout the walls the sounds of Ty the battle that goes on between ausa and his friend fighting about shot and learning hollering and screaming at each other on the surface you'd look at it and you'd say why are those guys so angry with each other what's wrong with them but the P says there will be love that comes about that argument that argument is not an argument of dissension it's not an argument of it's an argument that is totally sh it's an argument that brings great joy to hasem and that's what we have to remember when I was learning in Tela there was such drama in the B medish and I'll tell you who I saw it from I'll tell you who I witnessed the that I grew up witnessing it was a battle that was waged in the Bas medish between Rian con the great sadik and Mas and Masid of TS and the rest of the B madish whoever dared to take him on and he his entire life learned with such H mother it's such an inspiration that next time you see somebody from taliva ask them they will tell you and it will just flow out of them Rian was the lion and he had the most creative discussions he wanted to know is a kazaka a washing machine or is it a dryer and then he would explain why it's perhaps one or the other but there's one story I want to tell you about Riano that I love my son was was getting a ride was D by Morty Simon from Cleveland Ohio and they were driving ran back from tush Shiva in wickliff Ohio to Cleveland Heights it's about a 20-minute drive in the snow it could be a long long trip you know you're going maybe 10 20 mil an hour and normally when you're on the road with a godle they won't talk to you and learning because they want you to concentrate on driving and that's what's important and a person has to be safe but Rian con to him life was to itself and so my son told me he was in the car and Riano and I'm I'm smiling because he was just so full of of and he was talking and learning with Rabbi Simon and Rabbi Simon's trying to drive the car and it's a snowstorm and he's trying and while everybody else would have said you just concentrate Riano after he's trying to hammer home app Point says Simon get your eyes off the road and listen to me and that's what it means to have a a life of T he didn't mean that he should crash meant to tell him this is life this is life and so that's the greatest proof that there's a re let his children learn T learn T add a little bit to your learning and you'll see it's the most precious time of your day we now move on to cap once again another Capital that is a sh this one pretty long is the sh of Wednesday and in the 94th chapter of says am that praiseworthy is the man whom God disciplines and whom you teach your Tyra tells us story of rebelar who became sick and went to visit him and asked him if his were dear to him since when accepted with love the Affliction brings a person great rewarder said I don't want the affliction and I don't want the reward keep the reward offered his hand and lifted him up and somehow miraculously by touching his hand he was totally healed beautiful gamarra and the truth is is that this is how a person is able to rid himself of the Affliction and it seems that if we would tell Hashem that we will do with without the reward that comes along as long as we don't have to endure the suffering we can get rid of it well is that true is it true that we can just rid ourselves of the Affliction and perhaps more importantly how does one deal with yur and with suffering how do we make it bearable how do we make it tolerable cuz everybody suffers and I think it's important for us to know that every person has their own madrea this is not meant to say that somebody's in the hospital and they should they should either Embrace yurin or or push it away every person has to know themselves nobody wants to suffer and very very often people suffer and and and and and they feel they can't deal with it and they need Rahman and they need compassion and mercy we have to know that sometimes a person has to be a sadic in order to be able to reach these vadas brings a marshall to explain he said there was a city that had a prison and the prison was a tremendous facility where there were numerous guards and there was a chief Warden they were employed there but weeks and months went by there was no crime in area those of you living in New York forgive me but the such places do exist as such the prison remained empty and the warden began to worry that the district supervisors are going to come and they're going to see there's nobody there and if there's no prisoners guess what he's out of a job so he can't thought of a plan and he walked around the city he found a popper had nothing to lose he said listen why don't you come here I'll offer you a deal you can't refuse make yourself look like a prisoner and we'll give you food shelter clothing whatever you need okay the poor man wanted to know what will I get and the warden said you know what I'll even give you some liquor okay over the next few weeks the trouble began in the village they arrested a few of the troublemakers and the prison started to fill up and no longer in need of the services of the poor man they threw him out on the street after some time the poor man went to the tavern he became completely shiker and he comes out stumbles out of the tavern outto the street he broke a few Windows he started up with some of the pastors by the police grabbed them and they threw him in prison and he gets in there and he says all right where's my liquor where's my drinks otherwise I'm not staying here said have you lost your mind they said when we first threw you into prison we needed you now we don't need you was a sadic he did not deserve any of the suffering he accepted it upon himself and therefore he was healed he was similar to the poer in the Marshall who didn't need the prison but you know what sometimes we have faults and shortcomings and we need the suffering to keep us on the straight and narrow and we don't have the upper hand we don't get to choose we should be to be able to embrace it with understanding and with the mercy of hasem But realize whatever a person's situation try to embrace your situation do the best you can and that yurin will serve you well it will be a reward forever and ever until next time Z
