He says, "I have to tell you the truth.
I came here on Shabas by car, by
vehicle." The vision didn't flinch. He
looked at him. He took both of his arms.
He hugged him and he said these words in
Yiddish says, "My kindst,
my child, I want you to come here
whenever you want, however you want."
Now, I want to ask a question. I don't
mean to be a party pooper, but I want to
ask a question. A Jew told you that he
drove on Shabas. It's shabas. It's not
just a SMALL SIN. I'M NOT TELLING YOU TO
SMACK HIM IN THE FACE. GOT IT. I'M NOT
TELLING YOU TO STONE HIM, BUT AT LEAST
say it would be so nice if you come next
time without a car. That's very nice.
But that's it. A little butt. We have
standards
and put in a little guilt your mother,
your father. DO IT NICELY WITH VOM kite
and say, "You know what? You can stay in
my house. We have a bed. It's probably
much more comfortable than your house.
Can't you do that? Do nice. Don't
embarrass a kid who's a yustin. I get
it. It's not what he did. He takes him
around and he says, "My kins vendil
vils." There's a ways how you come
before shabas or walk. It's a good
question. No, but now what's the truth?
What's the now the true answer to that
question? He says, "You don't
understand." I was waiting for him to
tell me that I did something wrong.
Don't you get it? That's what I wanted.
I wanted him to say, "I love that you
come to my tish, but this is not the
way." That's what I wanted. I wanted to
start believing that I'm not connected
to this place. That's what I needed. I
had something that was still connecting
me and I needed the Reba himself to say,
"It's not for you. We are of a different
type. You don't belong here." That's all
I needed. And then I could sever the
last cord, get rid of that last
conscience and say, "This is not my
place." And that's it. And I'll find
other entertainment Friday night where I
am accepted. That's exactly what I
needed to hear. And he took that away.
HE SAID YOU'RE HERE. THIS IS YOUR PLACE.
YOU COME WHENEVER YOU WANT AND HOWEVER
YOU WANT. AND WHAT HAPPENED IF THAT'S
NOT WHAT IS? OF COURSE, IF HE WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT himself and his reputation
and people are going to find out what's
happening in this place and even his own
RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY, THEN OF COURSE he
would do the wrong thing, which means do
the right thing, which means tell him
that he was wrong, which means do the
right thing, which means do the wrong
thing. He would lose him forever because
he was thinking about real how do I help
this child? He understood what this kid
needs more than anything else is a home,
a family.
