Hashem has a plan for all of us! - Rabbi Menachem Penner

one of the last things that hana wasserman told was a mushroom was a parable which is such a powerful think of it thing to think about maybe a spark during these difficult times being hamitz gave a mushroom of a student who was looking to find out something about farming he had never ever seen a farm he had never heard of anything about farms and yet he wanted to become an apprentice of a farmer so he goes one day to a farm and he sees that the farmer begins to plow his field and he can't believe it why would he take a perfectly good field and toss it and turn it push the whole thing over but okay the farmer says you're just learning you have to see how we farm how we bring about grain next he sees him take a bag of grain perfectly good seeds and instead of using them or eating them he starts to throw them all over the field and he can't believe it why would you take perfectly good grain and throw it all over the field and the farmer said you have to still learn you have to see the whole process to understand next he sees that the grains have finally come up and now he understands obviously you're trying to grow a field of wheat and he sees the beautiful wheat stalks and he begins to understand what it means to farm and then he sees the farmer goes out and starts to cut everything down he starts to scream why are you ruining everything why are you destroying a perfectly good field and on and on and on you can imagine his shock when they pulverize the wheat and they make it almost into nothing they make it into a dust and then they take that dust and they make it into mud they take this perfectly good dust perfectly good looking and they make it into something muddy and then they put it in the oven to burn of course when he finally sees the bread so he understands and the farmer says to him you deepesh you're just an apprentice you don't understand you have to see the final product to be able to understand so too said the jewish people have been turned over have been thrown scattered throughout the earth and they've been cut down and they've been smashed and they've been pushed into the mud and they've even the last step of the process but when we see the final look then we'll understand what it was all about it's easy for me to say something like that i wouldn't make up a mushroom like this myself nor could i but to understand that was [Music] is wiser than me he is
