The CRAZIEST Moment In Jewish History

A Torah Anytime original series. We are sitting on the rivers of Babylon. The Pik says, "We hung up our harps." Okay. We're sitting on the river alo. We hung up our harps. Why do you have harps on you? I just had a fire not so long ago in my apartment. Okay. I wake up Friday night. I my my alarm went off. I go into my dining room, there's a fire. Not like a Havzilla candle, napkin, cute little put it out. Like my whole apartment is on fire. I have 10 seconds to leave or I will die. I'm not rummaging in my closet for my drum kit. I play the drums. I'm not going for my tuba. I grab my kid and we out. These people are are by the skin of their teeth. They're making it out of out of your line and they have their their their Oh, I love them beside Telino. They have their tubas on them, their harps. The answer is yeah, when you know that's the most important thing. When you know it's all about, do you joyfully choose Hashem? Do you sing and dance the road of life or you just trod down the road of life? Well, then yeah. Yeah, you bring that. 1492 August 2nd all the Jews they're getting kicked out and killed one man is allowed to stay the Barbaranel why cuz he made Fernan Isabella super rich they said everybody's got to go all millions of Jews got to go you can stay cuz you like we like your money he's like if my people go I go he walks out into the street this is Tishab August 2nd 1492ish he sees all the yidden these are wealthy yidden they're dragging their little mana they have little nothing. They have a little just a sack. They're all sad and depressed. They're walking towards the gates of the city. The Abarbino runs to a local restaurant, goes to the back. There's a band. He gives each one a h 100red bucks. He says, "Follow me." He places this band at the front gates of the city and says, "Start playing joyous music." And he gets up in a box and he says, "Rabbi Shai, I'm well aware that today is tishabove. I'm also well aware that you cannot listen to music on tishabove." I'm well aware. However, I'm also well aware that the Jewish people are going to their next train station on this long gulus. And the only way we'll get there is if we dance there because that's the only way. We will not get there if we're sad and depressed. We will not get there if we're gloom and doom. So, in one of the most surreal moments in all of Jewish history, the Abarel forms a massive circle and dances his way out of Spain on Teshov. That is our secret.
