Daily Chidush: Is Your Stinginess Costing You Miracles?

have an amazing story for you but I'm going to finish it off with this just to make you hear it people today have unfortunately a very very difficult time with amuna when it comes to money and unfortunately some people have this disease called stinginess being cheap they uh you know for themselves they want to buy a car they want to buy a house they they buy all those things no problem the guy says listen it's going to cost you an extra $3,000 for uh the navigation system that you have for free on your phone they uh say yeah yeah add one if you can add two listen this uh better uh you know better paint is going to cost you an extra $4,000 for the house yes no problem go ahead and add it but the stinginess comes in anytime it comes to mitv anytime it comes to mitzvot whether it's buying a muza it's a real kosher mza you come to the rabbi you say oh Rabbi I need mza the guy Rabbi says listen it's going to cost you for the least amount of money it's going to cost you $75 $100 for a kosher muza if you want a high level one uh because you believe in Hashem and you want protection in and out of the house it's going to cost you a couple hundred oh Rabbi are you sure you can't get something for maybe $30 or $50 you tell a guy listen you donate $1 for a CD you donate a few hundred of them you never know you could save a life you could save a soul an eternity the guy Rabbi says Ah you can't get a better deal on the CDs okay you know what I'll give you $18 but you just spent $33,000 on the uh navigation system you don't need how come you only spend $18 or $50 on this uh on the CDs to save Souls the reason for this is when someone has a little bit of problem with his emuna and for here we go into the Torah and we obviously have to see what hasem thinks about this in seph ha in the book of ha the prophet tells us what hem says hem is telling us here clearly mine is the silver and mine is the gold the word of Hashem master of Allegiance Hashem is telling you everything is his everything the money you have the money you want want the money that you think about everything and anything in this world is his including your own body which is the reason someone is not allowed to commit suicide whether Jew or Gentile never allowed to commit suicide because their body is not his their body's not theirs but Hai is telling us something very special he says that once a person believes this specific thing once he realizes that everything is really hashem's and not from your own hand he'll never be cheap he'll never worry about money and he'll also never waste money for stupidity it's an amazing story about evanel evanel is one of the greatest sages that ever lived just a few hundred years ago you'll see his uh in you know uh commentary on many kashim most kashim today use his commentary but unfortunately didn't have any Fortune didn't have any luck when it came to Fortune so much so that he would say about himself that if I started a store of hats people would be born without heads if I started a store for umbrellas it would just stopped raining uh you know he uh Hashem you know he knew that Hashem did not want him to have fortune in this world but obviously Isa we could only wish we had even a small part of it but evanel was also very spicy with his words and one time he goes to a town and uh this town had some rich people and they had a community that uh the rabbi said listen you have to host guests will take turns the the true uh hosting of guests is when the guests have no choice not just hosting your friends to come over for Shabbat because you want to show off your food that's not really exactly a Mitzvah a Mitzvah is to host someone who is from out of town who doesn't have another Choice who's alone and so on and Evan EA came into this town this poor poor man no one really knew who he is and this G this a really rich guy it was his turn to host but he didn't know so he went and he went shopping in the market for an extra large fish so he could enjoy it on Shabbat and as soon as he got to this you know he bought the fish and he was on his way home he ran into the rabbi and the rabbi said Hey listen today is your turn to uh host the town you know the new guests the guy almost had a heart attack thinking that he's in to share this wonderful fish with a with a stranger this I can't believe it he immediately ran back to the store and bought a few ugly sardines and came back to his wife and told him listen when I have a guest tonight give him these few sardines make sure that he's full and then as soon as he's full just I uh you know we'll we'll kick him out and I can eat my fish in peace so this is what they did Evan shows up at the house after hello hello they have the K and they give him these six measly little fish Andel looks at it and he sees that no one else is eating so he realizes what's happening here so he picks up the small fish he puts it to his ear talks to it and then puts it down picks up the second fish talks to it and then puts it down and this is the way he does for all of these fish that he has in front of him so the guy the chiefy guy and saying what's going on here what do you talk to fish goes oh yeah listen when you learn some tah you could uh talk to uh talk to animals he says really what they say says well actually I was asking them what happened in MIT what happened in Egypt so the first fish said no you know what I don't I don't really know I asked my brother so I asked his brother the guy said no no no I don't know and I asked all of them and then eventually they all said you know what we're all very small we're all very young we don't really know what happened in uh in Egypt but our big brother in the kitchen he knows so evanz looks at him he goes why don't you bring his big brother out so you see ezar was wise and the cheap guy was caught in an uncomfortable situation but nonetheless what is the cost of being cheap why why are people cheap why do they have such lack of emuna why do they have such a difficult time giving money anytime we work if we don't say B if we don't say in God's name we'll do and we'll succeed we're not putting things into perspective we're thinking that our hard efforts are going to be the ones that succeed our hands and labor and mind and thoughts are going to be the ones that lead to our success and the reality of it is that this is as false as can be Hashem has everything in his hands as he says mine is the silver and mine is the gold it's mine if you want a piece of it give me a reason it's an amazing story about Rabbi ysep Kim zold that lived about 7 years ago who lived his life completely full of amuna one day his wife tells him dear Rabbi we're out of food and the store owner is not willing to sell us anything on credit what should we do Rabbi Z Feld immediately closed his books he says H if this is what it is I'll go get you money he says what are you going to do what what do you know how to do anything sell anything go no I'm going to go do what I always need to do he says what what do you need to do I got have to go ask my father goes your father di he go no my father upstairs Hashem I have to go ask him the wife didn't say anything she was to very simple she trusted the husband she trusted the rabbi and off he went he didn't know that one of his students just came to see him and saw the rabbi walk away so he decided you know what where's the rabbi going he never leaves his books let me follow him so he followed the rabbi he sees the rabbi walk for about 10 minutes praying to Hashem talking to Hashem after 10 minutes he bends over picks up something and returns home the student that soon as he got to the house he says I couldn't hold myself what happened what happened what did you do why did you leave the house he says I went to ask Hashem for money he goes you know what happened he goes he gave me money he goes what money he goes oh I went 10 minutes and eventually when Hashem accepted my prayer I looked down and I saw that there was a gold coin I picked it up and I came back and now we have money the student was baffled anyone that's listening to the story is baffled how could this be but for Rabbi zanfeld this was normal this was 100% normal as it says in Isaiah 264 trust in Hashem forever for in God Hashem is the strength of the worlds if you truly believe that Hashem will give you he will give you if you truly believe everything is his he'll give you a piece of it but you have to do something you can't just be one of those guys that says no I believe in my heart like some people say today I believe I'm religious in my heart but in actions nothing buiss there's no such thing is that we have to take actions just likeon from the tribe of aminadav went into the sea of reeds first before the rest of the nation of Israel before Hashem crossed the ocean before Hashem split the ocean because you want to show AEM that he believed and not just say he believed and this is a real life story that I just just heard on Friday mamash a miracle aash a miracle that I know firsthand that happened and I only knew it after the fact I always tell people you want to hear a miracle call me every day text me every day I'll give you a new Miracle we see these every single day either ourselves students all types of people of people that really show Hashem that they believe in him I know somebody very very close to me that I didn't know actually but there there their kid had a problem was born with liquid in his ear liquid in his ear which is a problem because if it doesn't uh if if it's not removed it'll make growth very difficult makes walking very difficult makes everything very difficult and it's also painful kid is already 2 years old about a month ago they took him to the doctor The Specialist and the specialist says listen it's it can't go away well you you must arrange for a surgery there's no other way this this liquid doesn't come out it's not like spit or saliva that comes out of the mouth this is not this is not coming out you have to remove it with a surgery the parents obviously heartbroken thinking that their 2-year-old child needs to have surgery what do you do when you have no choice it's called it's the the prayer of the poor the poor have better prayer than the Rich why because the rich are just worrying about more money they're worrying about more things whereas the poor have no choice they know that a Our Father in Heaven Hashem is the only choice they have and this exactly what they did they prayed to Hashem they prayed to Hashem but not just prayer they showed him as soon as we came out with the uh uh post that we're coming out with our CDs coming out with our CD is a dollar CD each CD can save a soul each CD is 30 hours he was the first person that said listen I'm in I don't want to miss out I want to sponsor a th000 CDs and benm save at least a th000 Souls hasem I didn't know I just thought W hasem very generous Soul he's always been generous with me and but still nonetheless didn't think much of it I thought that this is generous person I didn't think I didn't know about the here they didn't know anything all I knew is that we have another thousand CDs we have a sponsor he calls me on Thursday calls me on Thursday and he tells me you're never going to believe it I said what he said you're never going to believe it I said what he says we went to the doctor today I said why' you go to the doctor he says he tells me the whole story about the kid I said okay so what happened he says the doctor's looking and he's testing and he takes it under X-ray and a different test another test and a CT and a before and after and he asks us why did you bring him here why did you bring your boy here he has nothing what are you doing here what are you looking for so we thought he's kidding he said you know you're the one that took the last one he says yes but it's not the same kid I don't understand how what could it be so he brings his other professional doctor in there and he takes the same test and he says the same thing goes why is this boy here why are you testing for something that doesn't exist when AEM wants something to happen nothing is beyond his limitations the boy is 100% perfect as the doctor said he's perfect he is nothing and this is what I keep telling you my brothers and my sisters when Hashem told Jeremiah if you do Chu I'll always accept you you'll be sitting right next to me but if you bring somebody that's not righteous and make them righteous if you bring a precious from a someone that's going against me you make him into a precious you help them do chv you'll be like my mouth asks what does it mean we're going to be like hashem's mouth Hashem as Hashem answers them and he says I created the Heaven and the Earth and I can bring back the dead and make them alive and you will be able to do the same and this my friends is exactly how hasem fulfills that promise my dear friend did not just tell Hashem that he believes in him he did not just prayed to him with an empty heart he prayed to him with a heavy heart and he took action and when you take action especially with things that are as difficult as money you'll be like hashem's mouth this is a real life Miracle it happened it's not something I'm making up for thisa it's as says you have to stay away from lies this is 100% true it's firsthand information not just some story I heard from somebody it actually happened to one of the people that's in this group so you see fulfilling his promise as he always does make sure that you don't stay cheap if you're cheap or stingy if you have a problem with amuna because it may be costing you your Miracles and May continue to bless all of you call to
