the attendant who became the head of the yeshiva. About 300 years ago, Rabbi Gdalia Hayun [music] lived in Jerusalem. He was the head of the bait elabalists yeshiva. One day, a young man from Yemen arrived at the entrance of the yeshiva. His name was Shalom. He approached Rabi Hayun [music] and said, "I would be honored to work at the yeshiva as an attendant." And indeed he was accepted for the job. Shalom. The attendant was a dedicated worker and no one could have imagined what would happen next. One day [music] during a deep study session in the yeshiva, a profound question arose in the study of Cabala, one that even Rabbi Gdalia Hayun could not solve. The next [music] day when the rabbi entered his study, he found a note waiting for him with the answer to the question written on it. "Who wrote this note?" the rabbi asked. Nobody knew who it was. After that, another complex question was asked, and again, none of the students knew how to answer it. Once more, a note was secretly placed on the dean of the yeshiva's desk. Rabi Gdalia, Haun's daughter, hid in the study hall at night and discovered the secret. Shalom. [music] The attendant was the one writing the answers to the questions on the notes. [music] The rabbi's daughter revealed the secret to her father. In the morning, Rabbi Gdalia Haun said to Shalom, the attendant, "You are greater than all of us. You knew the answers to questions that none of us knew. You will be the head of the yeshiva in my place. With all due respect to your Torah, [music] my teacher and master, I cannot agree to this. Though after some discussion, Shalom the attendant agreed to become the deputy head of the yeshiva. This is how Shalom the attendant [music] who became known as the Rashash Rabbi Shalom Sharabi joined the students [music] at the bait el Yeshiva and married the daughter of Rabbi Gdalia Paun. And when the head of the yeshiva [music] passed away, Rabbi Shalom Sharabi took over as the new dean. This is a story about humility and modesty. At first, Rabbi Shalom Sharabi kept his greatness in Torah a secret out of humility. And his teacher, Rabbi Gdalia Hayun, demonstrated humility and a pursuit of truth when he saw that his students surpassed him and [music] wanted him to become the head of the yeshiva in his place. Let us all learn how to act with humility and modesty. We must understand that our talents, our achievements, and [music] everything we have in life are all gifts from God. We must [music] remember to treat our friends and family members with respect and humility.
