through Timeless Treasures who is the author of this Capital speaks once again about how much Hashem abhor absolutely despises GAA as we've said before you know there's an old western adage where the sheriff walks in and he sees the gangster and he walks into the tavern into the saloon and he says there ain't room in this town for the two of us and you know and the gist of it is is that the gangster better leave well Hashem says when there's somebody who's somebody Hardy somebody who's a balg hashem's got no tolerance for him I cannot live in the same place as he does and what that means is is that you Mr Bala are in big trouble because Hashem ain't going anywhere so one time the is came to the city of Yos Romania and he was going to spend the shabas there and there were two very wealthy individuals there and each of them wanted to host this great sadic each of them of course wanted to have this sadic in his D in his home in his Mansion their homes were Tastefully furnished and they were quite spacious and rebba looked into the natures of both of these candidates and he found out that one of them was not so careful about his Mitzvah observance was AG G um but he was very humble so again wasn't so wasn't such a in mitv he wasn't so careful but he was humble the other man tremendous but he flaunted his Good Deeds to the surprise of many the rebit did not choose the one who was the bigger yishay he chose CH the person who was more humble and when asked why the rebba said the following the Jew may be free from all sin but since he has been Afflicted with theid of refuses to stay in his home I should stay there the other person who's not the biggest Yim he's modest he's unassuming and even if he stumbles here in there the Torah says Hashem dwells with them even in their impurity Hashem stays in his home I will stay there as well it's different than perhaps we would have predicted but Hashem abhor G he can't take it and loves it let's try to be more like we move on to the next capit cap and in the 102nd peric a prayer for The Afflicted man when he swoons and pours forth his supplications before Hashem y also means that he wraps himself and the radak explains that D was wrapped in s in suffering and when a person Davin in great pain he wraps himself in his suffering he is making himself ack a piece of because the is because he's wrapped in pain and he's supplicating himself before and that's a very very powerful prayer by the mere fact that a person has sorus a person has worries that a person is in pain that makes his F sincere and a sincere prayer Works listen to this great story there was a Dian from Williamsburg who was asked to go up to the Catskills to spend chabas with a group of autistic children for anybody who's ever been in the cat skills it seems like every Friday there's rain and when it rains in the cat skills it rains it can rain with hail and unfortunately sometimes the infrastructure of the Catskills does not allow for it to withstand terrible rainstorms and at the worst time possible the lights go out and it was one such storm and electricity in the entire region went out and even with regular children such a situation is very very difficult for this child it was virtually impossible this group of children they were autistic children and special needs children and it was impossible they decided they're going to dve in at the absolute earliest time possible and they're going to try to make sure that they're going to put the kids to sleep before Sunset and this way they won't be awake when it gets very very dark but the children were still getting scared because it was getting dark and there were no lights on and in the bunk houses it was dark and they tried to reassure the children and the Dyan noticed that there was one child who was crying in a corner and he said to him why are you crying and he said I'm so afraid of the dark one child an autistic child scared of the dark after he spoke to him and he calmed him down he turned to the whole group and he said Davin Daven that everyone should be safe and Dav that the light should go on and the Dian said he never heard such a TW in his life children who do not know better all they knew is they were scared it was dark and they needed the lights on can we say we were surprised that at the moment of AA towards the end of that my can we say we're surprised that the lights went on now you might say that that's the moment that they went on anyway I don't think so I think it's because the it's wants more than anything else to see a suffering child relieved from his pain until next time that EX
