Comrades in arms - Rabbi Steven Burg

hi coming to you uh from right across from the hotel the western wall i actually came out here to uh to film this video because i looked out my window and i was incredibly inspired there's a ted guess going down there there's a celebration of the paratroopers who are going to go and serve in the israeli army and i was really i'm thinking to myself there's an amazing piece and kolodido fake my beloved is knocking by raleigh salvation where he gives a parable to explain the connection of jews around the world and what he said was that there was once a young man who had two heads and his parents passed away and they could not decide whether to give him either one share of his inheritance or two because he had two heads and what what the answer was they said why don't we just take a bucket of hot water and pour it over one of the heads if the other head screams in pain so then we give it one share because then they're really one entity but if the other head does not feel any pain that we give two shares because they're two entities and rabbi salvatrix said he said that the jews have to feel each other's pain with the jews of argentina and trouble and the jews of new york need to uh to step forward and through coven and the recent war in israel and all these things and i was i was just looking this was supposed to be a moment of inspiration but i'm looking down at all these young men who are 18 and 19 years old and the fact of the matter that they would put their life on the line for any jew around the world doesn't matter if it's in israel or if it's abroad to me that was one of the most inspirational moments and it's always been in terms of the jews that we've always stuck up for each other we've always defended each other on a physical level and a spiritual level as i pointed out so many times moshe rabino moses our teacher was a person that saved us from genocide in egypt he stopped a sick culture where pharaoh was killing babies and they took us out to give us a torah save us physically and then save us spiritually and i think that's what we all need to be inspired we need to just look around and see all our jewish brothers and sisters that are willing to do so much for us at any time any day so i hope that we can all continue that and as long as we continue looking out for each other we'll continue to be [Music] inspired
