[Music] have you ever heard of a lady named Irene sendler let's talk about this incredible heroin lady she died May 12th in 2008 during World War II ireena got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto as a s specialist she had an ulterior motive though Arena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of a toolbox that she carried she also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck for larger kids Arena kept a dog in the back of that truck trained to park so when Nazi guards would come over to see the dogs would give a ferocious bark and they would stay away during her time of doing this she had managed to save over 2500 Jewish children ultimately she was caught and the Nazis broke both of her legs and arms and beat her sever verely Arena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out she put in her Glass St and she buried it under a tree in her backyard after the war she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the families most of the families had died in the gas Chambers those kids she helped get place in Foster families or to be adopted now here's the amazing part of the story in the Year 2007 Arena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize she was was not selected Al Gore won for a slideshow that he made on global warming Arena did something that was super human and yet the world took no notice of it why is it that way so I want to tell you something incredible teaches us he tells us that the things that we do that the world gets to see the things that we do on a grand scale you get reward from Hashem but in this world the things that that we do that nobody sees the things that we do when it's quiet the things that we do in our most private moments that my friends that you get rewarded for in the world to come ireena had done such incredible acts that had to have been in silence that had to have been hidden from the world and when she did that 2500 Souls that were saved by her when she did that in heaven it rang true with such a sound as to say what kind of Eternal reward can we possibly pay somebody who has done something this incredible but that reward for it to ring for eternity that will have to be saved for where she will be in the world to come so that when the world down over here stood to take notice in heaven they said no no no that's too small for an act that is so great when we are challenged and our most private moments when we are challenged when nobody in the world knows except you the battles that you went through the Battle Scars that you have from the difficulties that it was to not look and instead you were bigger instead you were greater just know that in heaven they're taking notice and that in heaven they are congratulating you and they are counting what that Eternal reward will look like for you as well it's worth the control for what what your Hab will ring [Music] with
