Rabbi Avrohom Walkin | Parshas Vayeshev: The Reward in Proportion to the Exertion | CHAZAQ

[Music] welcome everyone to the weekly kabura this week the kabura is a few days earlier than normal I'm doing it on a Tuesday because I also have kabura tomorrow regarding khaka on the khaka on the Nissim and the other special things that we must know about when it comes to so today I'm actually doing the par of the week and tomorrow we will be doing theur on on khaka uh before I begin like I always do I'd like to thank kazak and Torah any time for everything that they do for the claw Hashem should reward them with continued success and continued marbin you know Mar being marbit to I also want to dedicate this particular sh this par kabura to a very special friend of mine revti and Mrs Gans for everything they did do they do for the CLA for all the they do for all the they do for all the wonderful programs that they're involved in thank you for that now before we start par last week I actually forgot to mention par something very powerful that I really wanted to it to be the most important aspect of my sheer and I got so caugh up with so many other wonderful D Tyra that I actually left it out so I actually just want to start with that and then we will go into the story that I always like to say a story I like to say before I begin all my lectures just in case somebody doesn't have the time is not interested to listen to a 30 minute share on the paraa at least he'll get a beautiful inspirational story so from last week's paraa um yakob had a battle with the Malik and we do know that the Malik you know there were fighting between each other and we know it wasn't just a physical fight it was more of a spiritual fight and yov needed to know the name of the Mal and the Mal didn't said what are why you asking me but anyway towards the end of The Battle Before the Malak said I need to go up and say Shir he he tells yov that yob said and he blessed me so the Malik said like this and the Mal said the Mal said Lo yov armor sh your name will not be yov anymore you should not be used your name will still beob but it shouldn't be used as much but why you fought with the angel of asov IM and with people plural Lon and asov and you were able so growing up I actually was taught almost an incorrect assumption which is that yob won the battle when in reality Yakov did not win the battle it was a stalemate it was a stale stalemate Yakov did not win the battle but rather it was a stalemate so what's going on here the Mal gave a to jakov because V he was able to continue battling he didn't win but he battled and the fact that he continued to battle for that it was considered a win because in the gullas which we find ourselves it's not the winning of the war but is it's the battle that's the most important thing in this world we are meant to battle we are meant to to not give up we are meant to go through difficulties but we show the greatness of ourselves and the greatness of our KES when we show that we don't give up clus Ro does not give up in the gas and that is a win there's a famous expression um which is to uh lose the to win the war but you lost the battle as long as you win the war doesn't make a difference if you lost the battle you win the war war and lose the battle in this in our Tyrant the way we live our lives and the wayu wants us to view the gas it's you lose the war but you win the battle cuz the battle is winning the war the battle is winning the war when you battle you win that's what the Abisha wants to see from us that we don't give up I just wanted to mention that before I start um the V now like I said I would say a story and being that kanak is upon us I'm going to tell you a magnificent very emotional story that happened to me when I was started teaching in Yesa called B at the age of I think between 24 and 25 that's when I started teaching there I got married at I was in B medish I got married at 21 I was in k for almost three years but I needed to go out and make parosa I wasn't you I didn't have the support like many people have I had different support bar I had great family but I needed to go make I needed to go make a living I needed to do my my job as as a married man and I and I went out to to teach so I got a job as a rebi in Yesa like I said being at the age of 2425 I was in between and it was my first teaching job and within four months my students ble herur I believe became very very inspirational and uh very very close toes who actually that year alone 18 of my students left the Yeshiva to go to a very very mainstream Yesa that opened up called allim at the time and bar all 18 of them today many of but there's one story that I want to discuss I used to smoke cigarettes that's it that's all I smoke but I used to smoke cigarettes and it's it's bad enough and I stopped bar 20 years ago um R kki I had a story with him and the day I left R kki is not for now I actually stopped smoking cigarettes cold turkey the day I left him about something he wasn't even about cigarettes but maybe I'll taka say it on the khah kab because it has to do with Kaneka also anyway so I remember 30 something years ago Mao that which was my brand marro Reds and this is not an advertisement that anyone should start smoking but uh marro Reds actually did a promotion and they had cataloges for this promotion what was the promotion that on the side of the box of cigarettes there was something called five miles it wrote it there was a a wording five miles on the side thing and you would rip off the piece and you'd save them and they came out with the catalog where you were able to get um sleeping bags uh duffel bags uh hats glasses Swiss Army watches and they made a mistake because they underestimated how many people would actually send in and it came out that many many people sent in so the next catalog a year or two later actually was much harder to get items it was much more expensive for the miles but barem I started collecting and not only that but my classmates my students actually um knew that I was collecting it and they felt you know we want to help the rabbi out they didn't smoke because of it but they would collect in the streets when they would go to down Queens Boulevard or their Uncle smoked a little bit this and they would collect the miles for Rabbi walin were collecting miles word got out that Rabbi Walkin was collecting the miles and the whole school decided to collect for Rabbi walin so barem what would take me I don't know many many many years to collect I collected within 3 4 months I think it was 25,000 miles which is almost like I don't even know how much it comes out but I think it was 2500 2500 um uh miles I think it was right no my math is not good it's never good but anyway 25,000 M was collected for me and I was able to get from the catalog every single item three times over and I would raffle it off the kidss it was sleeping bags there were just wonderful wonderful items with Army watches so I got like I said three items four items of every single thing 20 items in this catalog there was a boy in my class his name was in my in my one of my students his name was Mor isakov he actually lives in Q Gardens he he bought my grand my father's and my grandfather's sh broke it down built two houses on the plot on the land but he also dedicated the base of his house to the sh big beautiful sh in the basement and he donated that basement to the killa to my father sh so that's where my father SCH is right now so this Mor isakov was one of my was my first student that I had my first student from the from the class from the first class that I had anyway he also collected miles now he knew that I was getting miles from different people he knew the whole school was Raising miles for me or bringing miles for me and he also decided he wants something from the catalog and what did he do he started collecting and every day in class he would sit and I let him do it he would sit right in front of me like two rows right in front and he' take out but in after lunch he would take during lunch he would do it also he took out his miles that he collected and he put them in rubber bands and he would pile them up almost like a leprechaun collecting his counting his gold he would sit there you should see the love in his eyes of collecting these miles he would put them in P in in packs and just line them up line them up on the table then he would count them again rubber band them put them in a D in a in a baggie and then in another bag and then in a brown bag and then when he finished counting them over and over again he would put the whole bag in his briefcase and that's what he was set for the day anyway after four or five months like I said four months of collecting September October November middle of December it was Hanah time and a week before I started telling the boys my tell them about Kaneka and I started telling them very emotional stories about Kaneka and the great stories of khaka and like I said within a few months my boys were already becoming very religious they were they were Mish not religious before and they were all 18 out of 22 left the Yeshiva that year with permission and went to a mainstream Yeshiva almost straight from public school in a way and I got very emotional telling them stories about different things especially about Kaneka I discussed with them the story with KH and Her Seven Sons how the children didn't want to eat the kazer and how the last son said don't worry I won't listen to to the aunti listen to atias and it was a lot of beautiful stories that I told them then I told them about the greatness of the Mana that a person should try his best to use an oil Mana try as best to use an oil man to be and get special olive oil to be mahad mahadin and basically I said to them you could be Yota with obviously with candles but you should try your best to be Yota with an oil manora then I mentioned to them that I'm selling Manas I wasn't going to make any money on it but whoever wants to buy a manora I will gladly pick it up for them and at the time they were oil mans for $4 or5 30 something years ago and um there was also a very nice manure that I saw which was a tall one for $12.95 and I mentioned that to them also but I said don't worry about it you can use the candle manure that we're giving out and that would definitely be you would definitely be y the mitzvah for you and your family now I will tell you the bharian community when I first arrived into this to thisa called B when I first became a rebi in this yiva many many of the bharian were immigrants and they were financially very strapped very strapped two three families lived in the same apartment three four families lived in the same little little house that they they would put together and they would all they' all bring their monies together and pay the rent and the and the electric and gas but they were very very very tight financially terribly so I knew that no one's getting the $5 one and no one's getting for sure the $12 one but I wanted to offer it at least maybe five families would get together maybe if somebody's so desperate maybe I'll buy him the four or5 manora after the class 3 days two days before khaka actually the day before Kaneka morai walks over to me and he says rebi I want an oil Mana so I said you know cost $5 I wanted to see how much he wanted I would pay for it$ four $5 I'd pay for it but I wanted to see his desire for it so he tells me no I don't want the $45 Mana I want the $1295 manora so I said how are you going to afford that how are you going to you have the money for it cuz I know he didn't she goes no I don't have the money for it so I was testing him I said so so how are you going to get this manura how are you going to get this manora so he looks at me he says I have an idea and he goes into his briefcase and I I'll never forget that moment he goes into his briefcase and he takes out the Brown Bag lovingly and he walks over to me and he goes He collected around 1,200 miles enough to get two three items in this catalog and he walks over to me he says rebi I'm going to give you my miles the same miles that he looked at and counted all day every day from September as he was building up his his his his miles he says rebi I will give you these miles if you can get me that special manora so I said to him I said M you don't need it I'll gu you a smaller manora and I'll pay for it I'll get you a smaller manora and I'll pay for it he said no rebi I want a special manora cuz I want my family who are not so religious right now I want them to bask in the Beauty and the Holiness of the manora and the special Mitzvah of lighting manora madr madrin with olive oil rebi I'm giving you all my miles please rebi please accept it from me instead of payment and I want to tell you I almost cried on the at that moment but I controlled myself I controlled myself and I said you know what I will take the miles and I said I'll get you the man overa tomorrow you'll have it in time for Kaneka anyway I cried the whole way home I cried the whole way home and I came home to my wife and I cried to her and I could barely tell her over the story of the Holiness of of this talet of mine that for 4 months who had no money was collecting miles mile after mile every day counting it he was willing to give it up that he could have a more better a more beautiful manora and he should be mahad mahad and not rely on on on on the candles and I told my wife and she got very emotional too and the only reason why I took it from him was not to hurt him I was planning on giving it back to him I was planning on giving him back the miles but I said to myself I'm going to give it back to him on the third day of Kaneka cuz I want him to light the first two nights of Kaneka with the feeling that he gave up something important to light the Mana in the most beautiful way and it I cried on the way to school and when I saw him the next day I gave him the Mana and I I got very emotional I had to leave class and I I said I had to go to the washroom and I cried over there it was just such a such a painful time for me but very very special and the next day he lit the man that night he lit the man the next day in class I said to him no morai how was it he said rebi it was the best investment he ever did he said you don't understand my family was so they loved the Mana they all stood there we sang and we danced and instead of lighting with a candle they had this nice little manura made out of that was made that you could use oil for and it was just very special and I thank you Reby for that I waited another night the next day the second day of khek during the day I had to give it back to him and I called him over I said I told him what I was planning on doing I said I never intended to take the miles from you but I wanted you to get the and the reward for giving up something important for the Mitzvah according to the the pain is the reward and I know that was looking down at you and were looking down at you and that you're going to see you're going to have d d of of children Ben and he is his father his whole family home his cousins his relatives all DED by my father and they're all very very religious extremely religious extremely religious his children are learning T he himself is a big benra he knows how to learn unbelievably and he's a marit and he gives so it says a person who's n tell us a person is nah he is careful with the Nar of kanaka he will have children therefore I could say on him that maybe because he was Nar to do the way he should because on that special lofty level that he wanted to be on he was to have children that so that's the story I wanted to mention now we're going to get into the par par but it the story will lead in into the theme of this week's par that I want to discuss the par begins inov yov wanted to sourn yov wanted to dwell yob wanted to settle down finally he had this the he had the P of Ro he had the fights with asov the years and years of the fears of of asov the L on running away from his house not living the last 22 years with his family he wanted to finally settle down so Rashi says on this yov wanted to dwell and rest right away immediately the story of ysep Came Upon him right away the story of ysep Came Upon him so Rashi continues want to want to sit B they want to relax they want to have later on in life they want to be able to have man tells them it's not enough what you're going to get in you also want to be relaxed a little bit in no Hashem says no you also want this no you're going to have what you have in in this world it's a world full of Trials tribulations and difficult situations that a person goes through in his life so has an incredible incredible like all his incredible um something has called which is pretty much from it's printed to including L including for a few years wrote his somebody wrote it for him one of his but they put it out in English called um discourses I think that's what it's called oh discourses of mus and thisle is one of I want to say my favorite but one of my favorites for sure on the para so he brings down this yov he brings down this Rashi but he asks an unbelievable question yov was yob was complete to his whole body was T his whole Essence was T his whole life is he's known from the voice as yov is T Yakov for 14 years did not sleep once a Cham for a he kept all the T MIT which he learned to it he learned it himself in his own being through nature so yov wanted to relax of course not yov wanted to learn T but he wanted to learn T he wanted to learn without um outside distractions he want to be able to finally in an old age to be able to learn without having to battle so hard so Hashem said no you sikim want to have sha not to do stupid things not to go on vacations which if it's needed is needed don't get me wrong but not to just waste time they want to learn Tyra in peace finally they want in their old age not just sit there and play chess and watch TV and go like I said on vacations that are not needed they want to learn T hasem says no you have to learn t to the last day of your life with s with punishment with difficulties with tribulations I don't like the word punishment but tribulations because you are going to be able to bring over to your children that in difficult times like Kaneka and the inquisitions and during the Holocaust where Jews would hide and learn T you have to learn t with in order for the Torah to have a special special light and Kum for your children you are going to get but in this world there is no rest there's no rest even for learning Torah and doing mitos you need to have to struggle and as the mishos I think it's yes interesting and Sh is is 26 but Mish M it says according to the pain is the reward and I saw an unbelievable rambam like all the unbelievable Rams the rambam brings down that a rebi should make it difficult and cause a little inconvenience for his tal when he teaches he should make it inconvenient talk quickly let them have to struggle for it so that their T will be more pure and they'll benefit more from the fact that they had to work hard for the Torah make it not as clear even though it as a person should teach his Tom them where it's clear but that's maybe some of the time but some of the time you should make it difficult that they have to be AA they have to work hard and they have to struggle and they have to fight for their knowledge and their connection to Torah so the formar a according to reward is its um according to the pain is is the reward now I want to tell you another m m and I said this a few weeks ago I actually spoke in ER by one of my I don't want to call him Tam because he's much greater in learning than me a much higher level than me but I started him off I started him off in his and then now he's a he wrote many farm and he actually his family lives two three houses from here his name is rakov scotus so he wrote man his farm he's a D in he's a really he's becoming one of the so he calls me re because he has that's really what it's about but he feels because I I got him you know on the path whatever that means he'll he'll give me I spoke in his last a week and a half ago when I was in and I brought down this M from this mishna from P the mishna begins mishna like I said and I said this before so if you heard it from me Kar is always a good thing we say the same three times a day I what we said it already in the morning no it's new every time it's new every time so M says like this this is the way of learning Torah and brings it down this is the way of learning t Torah somewhere else not over here but I saw it I remember years ago in a different he says it doesn't say this is a good way to learn Torah a uplifting way to learn Torah a MAA way of learning Torah no the mishna says this is the only way to really really acquire and learn Torah the highest level but this is this is the way to do it bread and salt water drawn water which means water has to be with measured measured water measured water you can't have as much water as you want if you want to really get to the highest of levels you need to even be careful how much water you drink not to drink more than than is necessary what you need and you have to sleep on the floor this is wild that means if I don't sleep on the floor I'm not Yota I'm not I'm not getting close to the way the Torah should be to a certain degree the more you suffer the more you acquire but that's not what he says he says this is the way so maybe in this generation it means less luxuries and you speak to your Rabbi what this mishna means because the Mish does say this I did not make up any words here this is straight from the mishna so you got to figure out what that means that means everyone has to learn L lay on the floor no but I'll tell you an amazing story that I heard somebody was at my shabas table and said to me that there's a Bala boss in Lawrence who's a very wealthy guy I think he said he's very wealthy it's not a g but he said he's very wealthy guy luxurious guy who has a beautiful house and ever since October 7th when Kamas did the terrible crimes that they did he only sleeps on the floor and he does not sleep on his bed it's been 50 something days I 55 57 days he has not slept in a bed in the 57 days 55 4 53 days at the time he has not slept in a bed he has not slept in a bed so that's very powerful very very powerful why because we want to feel he wants to feel what CLA is going through he took away a little luxury from himself I will tell you VD Miller I don't know how many years he did this but it definitely over 40 50 years never slept on a bed for at least 40 50 years I think it's more than 50 maybe 70 years I remember what I was told since he was 30 or something I don't know 60 60 years maybe he never slept on a bed but he would sleep with a sheet on a a board a wooden board that he shouldn't sleep a good night sleep because the I mean these are extremes holy extremes I don't call them extremes I call them Holiness but everyone in his own way could think about what he has to do to be mate in certain luxuries maybe have one steak instead of two steaks maybe order I don't know one main dish in dolma or whatever you go eat which is wonderful places but be m m a little bit now let's get to the rest of the mishna remember again then I made a I think it's a proper the means and also the means and also and also live a life of suffering which means that the other three are not even suffering eating bread and soil water measured water you can have as much as you want and sleeping on the floor that's not even suffering that's regular you also live a life of suffering now should a person actually look for suffering it's a to suffer it is a to suffer believe it or not to whoever loves he gives he he gives him he gives him punishments he gives him not punishments but he gives him tribulations the one that hm loves hem challenges hasem tests hem hits in a way hits in a way where he challenges him that he could raise himself raise himself different levels and then it says it's good for you in this world and it's also good for you also good for you in the next world it's good for you in this world and also good for you in the next World sir g adelstein z made an unbelievable de on this it's good for you in this world and we're going to get to it well how could it be good for you if you're living a life of suffering if you have right how is it good for you it's good for you in this righteous for you in this world and it's also good for you so like I saidin said that it's good for you in this world what do you need more than that you don't need more than that no Hashem says to you you want more CL you want dessert you want dessert you'll also get but it's good for you in this world how could that be good for you and they once asked Aon Cutler the is the Z were the people that support Tyra and so somebody once asked them are they truly equal are they equal are they Shin equal Partners 50/50 that the guy the person the K guy the the sadic that kept away from every D user that kept away from his tus not that the rich guy doesn't but the guy that sat and learned Tyra with difficulty and then another guy who writes out a check writes that a check and then you know lives his life you know beautiful stuff wonderful stuff they're equal right they asked him that you know what he said maybe they're equal you know what let's say they're equal let's say this will be the equal but this world only your s gets only your s has which means the one who learns Torah with suffering he gets this world wow that's not getting this world it says which means suffering how do you get this world how can you if it's suffering then you're not enjoying yourself if you're suffering you're not enjoying yourself so how can you say soat is that when you suffer for Tyra you get such a Kenyan it becomes part of your Nish it becomes part of you that the high that you get from learning Tyra like that is more powerful than the suffering you get from the that you're lacking again the closeness to Hashem the the loftiness that you get from learning Tyra with suffering makes you happier than the than the feeling of the suffering of your physical lack of pleasure that you have and I want to tell you RAB AA was being ripped apart his body rea's body was being ripped apart and he was laughing and happy and smiling and said re how can you be happy when you're suffering so he says I always was worried about the even if he takes even if he takes your and now that I could get this Mitzvah that I'm able to finally do this thing that I was all my life hoping to give up my life for I shouldn't be happy so which means the happiness of getting close to Hashem through what he was doing overrode the suffering that he was having physically and you know what you see from the and you see from those Israeli parents that send their sons and they're smiling and they're happy and the of Joy they know they're in a danger zone They know at any moment they can get shot killed hasem should watch over them but there's a joy in doing the will of the people doing the will of hasem protecting am protecting that overrides the fear of what can happen to them physically what talk about death is not death is not death is not death is not death these people are going knowing they can get shot leaving their parents alone their parents will suffer no there's a certain kadha that you get when you're doing R hasem which overrides the pain you have in this world that's an unbelievable lesson that's an unbelievable lesson so we're going to that's one thing I wanted to mention on the para another thing I want to mention on the paraa um yeah we're late I have a lot so much to say I'm going to save one of the things which is very very special I'm going to save it for when we get to the para of of mikash because I can really say it over there because it's all three it's a theme in all the paros and Bas with our AOS so I'm going to leave that but I'm going to mention I'm going to mention a very important thing that burn bound and I said this twice already but I'm going to say it again cuz it fits in fits in it it's happened in this week's para now we know the story with yoseph and we know the story with Po's wife and we know the story how yose almost fell but he saw he saw his father's face and he controlled himself but let me go back a little bit this woman tried to seduce try to get yoseph every single day for a year every single day day for a year she tried to get him he was away from his father he was away from his brothers he was away from the he was in a Tuma place a place M was the worst the unholiness of MIM was worldly known people came to M to do bad things people would come to MIM for witchcraft foros every bad thing came out of the greatness of MIT and yoseph is there by himself away from the Bas medish away from the the the Holiness of his father away from his rebi his father is his rebi away from all of this you know what is to cut a source of a Ted from a rebi thear says that a tal that goes to gas the rebi has to go with him if a tal killed by accident and he has to go to the AR mikl a rebi must go with him because a rebi is the life force of this person that he has to go to Gus with him yet y was yob yob was y rebi y greatest rebi and his rebi was yov and here he is cut away from that life force and he's in the most evil Place shunned by his brothers shun by the family not even knowing if they think about him if they remember him if they know him and here he is in the most tal Place being seduced I don't want to say that by an evil woman every single day and the beauty of YF was Universal says yph never sinned once in MIT not even once not only that an unbelievable V that I once said over about my brother at his yard at his yard site I spoke at one of the yard sites I think it was two years ago maybe last year I don't remember but I spoke about why is it that a legacy doesn't end legacies don't end that's why it's called a legacy somebody leaves over a legacy not just financially his right the V says after she answer all questions a person the V learns that a person doesn't take everything with him not talking about the finances or the richness right his cover doesn't go down with him it doesn't go to the Grave learns the opposite his honor his legacy what's really doesn't go down so the question is yob ysep was away 22 years ysep was away from his father 20 something years 22 years and for all the years he was away his father could not get over the law he lost R KES he wasn't himself he was always in sackcloth he was mourning yose how could that be yov am Hashem did this hasem has a plan Hashem did this Hashem has a plan so obviously how could it be that yob would sit in Aus for 20 something years he's also taking away it says he lost his rues he lost his rodes and what happens he's not giving the Torah over to the highest level to his children to the Future generations to is going to lose out because he's losing not teaching the on the highest levels is the rest of Cl for Generations is losing out how could it be he didn't forget how could it be he didn't forget we know that hm causes sh as a gift that a person can move on a little bit to a certain degree move on and he can still have a life he loses a child a parent whatever is a wife a husband whatever you a child whatever is you lose Hashem causes a certain amount of that a person could live on cuz some people can't live on soem causes them to have a little bit a little bit they always remember they'll always think how could it be the yov never got over it especially I saw I forgot who said it over I think it was he says over that when there's a personal loss hasem causes when somebody loses something personally you lose sh you have sh but when a communal group loses somebody important and and and and someone who's AED and somebody who is a future seminatural about the rim from Generations earlier you see they they trans they're in a different world when they discussed the r because you don't forget someone that's that's the cloud needed someone communal and that's why I brought up my brother cuz he was his loss is never going to be filled because of the greatness of what he was going to always give and you don't forget greatness like that but y said was forgotten he he was forgotten yet he didn't give in to to the to this to This Woman's you know evil plans so how does Hashem reward him that same day he gets thrown into prison I want to make aish a joke I have to make it but it says that he left his jacket you know at the house he tried to grab it and he left his jacket there and he ran out and she saw that he left his jacket so she complained on him so I'm going to make a joke a little bit you see Yeshiva should never leave the house without a jacket you can't walk out the house see because he ran out without a jacket this is all this happened anyway just a side joke but but let's get more back back to what the ver is here how does Hashem reward him he throws him into prison that same day that's a reward that's a reward for overcoming one of the greatest challenges that a human being can overcome that he's called sadic because of that because of that he called sadic because of that he's called sadic and like I was going to tell you before that yob when he comes down to MIM he tells ysf like this he says I can die this time now that I've seen your face that you're still living I can die now now that I see you're still living so the question on this PK is it's extal you would think why it doesn't have to say now that I've seen your face that you're still living all it has to say is the mus I can die that you're still living what does the face have to do with anything now that I see your face that you're still living so I saw an unbelievable on that that if y if YF would have sinned even minutely with a woman or something like that or even looking even looking it says he would never be able to look his father in the face therefore yob says I could die knowing spiritually I can die now before I did I died emotionally and physically and way but now I can die spiritually that I was able to look you in the face you saw me face to face that you're still living spiritually so YF never sinned and this is how Hashem rewards him throwing him into prison will end with this burn Brown says an incredible thing like all the things he was my rebi he was my rash from all the yeshivas I've been to I've been to all the yeshivas I I I put it's quicker for me to mention the shivas I didn't go to but anyway he says like this bur he says that the greatest M that hasem did for y was that he threw him into prison and he uses the I remember in he said not everyone is merits to be challenged not everyone merits to be challenged those that hasem love he challenges so they can get rewarded suffering is a virtue because he overcame the story with AES ptif he potifar he merited to be challenged again Hashem said because you overcame this we're going to the next level when people play video games and they finish the first board oh we're going to the harder board and the harder board and that's what you hope in the in video games to get to the harder board the next board the it gets harder and harder because the challenges is what makes you feel good when you win a game in life when Hashem challenges a person it's a gift because it raises him to the next level it makes him a hero it makes him special it makes him close to therefore was he merited to have more challenges and we must learn from this challenges are gifts from hasem whether you understand it work on it work on it I am working on it whenever I'm challenges whenever have challenges in my life I I actually many times most of the time I lift myself up bar hasem and I say this is what Hashem wants he's testing me he's challenging me he obviously trusts in me he believes I finished the first board the second board and so I'm ready for the next board I'm ready for the next challenge which which gets you closer to hasem and not only do you get rewarded for it in the next world but you get rewarded by being close to Hashem in this world challenges Nim a n right a a miracle it comes from the word n to lift when a person has a n comes from the word n n comes from the word Nest a challenge comes from the word nest and the word Nest means to uplift because your challenges in life uplift you and and you must remember that when you have difficult times in your life and you say to Hashem Hashem thank you for the challenges thank you for the difficulties thank you that you trusted me thanks that you think I'm a warrior that can handle it that I can go to the highest Board of the game as we call it I'm ready for the top of the line board I'm ready for the second edition of this game you know I'm ready to play the highest level I put it right away on on uh supreme or whatever you call it Hashem trusts in you but show but don't make Hashem lose trust by failing everyone have a wonderful wonderful um shabas thank you very much um you could also give it also um thank you all and we'll see each other mem tomorrow we're going to have the Kaneka we're
