I love this question because comes from
this side
I'm fern I'm gonna read it to me love
Emile it's wonderful
on Thursday night I look back at the
week man you have to hear this is what's
going on in their minds I look back to
the week I did laundry
I cooked supper I sent kids to school
what makes me special the gaim all do
the same thing meaning you have your
avoider you go down with a minion clear
certain illumination miraba
you learn you do that for you and me
you're involved in community and then we
leave the women at home to be that
carrot of ice and we know that there's
hail a kite in everything that we do but
at the end of the day you also want to
feel it you want to feel that what
you're doing has Hayley kite as to Ducie
and it's not just mundane it's not just
something that you know when they say
Schiller sonic YCJA you know why because
we get to do all this stuff and you get
to do the laundry huh so it's a it's an
incredibly incredibly important question
the reason I am I I'm looking at this
and I just feel like I know time is
running out but I once sat down with the
daughter of a Russian Shiva whose
husband was also a Russia Shiva and she
asked me the same question now if your
father's Rosh Yeshiva and your husband's
Russia Shiva and this still bothers you
so we need to explain and you don't it's
not good if you feel like we're
apologizing for you call apologetics
taka what do you do to make you feel
like you feel like what you're doing is
incredibly important for the world you
know a surgeon washes his hands and a
worker washes vans both of them washed
hands except that the surgeon is not
going to open up somebody's heart and do
a heart transplant and the watch in the
ends is gonna save the hands from adding
bacteria on them that would kill the
patient
and the other guy just didn't get the
railing dirty cuz washed his hands the
very fact that you do something similar
to a guy to a mundane person means
nothing it means nothing and this is
what we have to internalize what we do
is only important because we think what
is the target everything that we do in
life is for what reason it's to bring a
cottage borrow food down to the world
it's forgiveness chin up Delia Sheena
means everything that I do will show
Zach a levy on vaiue this is Maya Shem
and if you do the most Heyliger thing
but you do it without second leg on
value then you're just going through
mitzvahs on national mother but if you
have in mind if you understand that when
you make food you're not just a chef and
some italian pizza parlor but you are
sustaining a family whose very purpose
is forgiven and you feel it and you know
it I can't change what you do just like
I can't change them a person who's a bus
driver but if you're just driving your
boss is nothing but if you're trying to
bust bust to bring kinder walk to the
haters so they should learn better then
you didn't just ride the bus
you brought people closer to a sham
you were miguel esteana and when you
make a supper and the kindle ah who came
home from learning inhaler all day and
your husband who worked in parnassia
or a London coil is now the Simca and
they could sustain themselves and it
creates
you cinch alibis and love than your own
acclaim in the based on mikdash bringing
an oil installment it's it's no
different and that's otherwise we can't
go on with life if we say well everyone
does this no it's not true on the musky
men they must give him we both get up on
a muscular high oil ama dog they must be
with their chakras we're getting up at
every single thing we do my wife has a
minute she took it on herself I never
asked her to
every morning she brings me a coffee to
wake me up and what she does is amazing
like except for Shabbos morning at
Madeira coffee but every morning and if
I'm so tired I drink and I plop back
into bed she brings the second one she's
a special person but she's not bringing
me coffee for coffee she understands
that I do car work and I get very very
tired and she heard hey look in the
clown book is watching me awake say no
then see him get up you gotta you got
the clown work to do and I'm gonna I'm
gonna I'm gonna make the shirt nice cuz
you have to stand in front of people and
at the time accomplish usually cancel my
big day kind of nice it's awful
said he'll wash em and she looks at me
and chose it
she'll clean it up you left it you have
to represent that sham
this is not apologetics your side
massage table like this says this is how
we have to live our lives because it's
not what we do but it's why we do it
a person can do something and it's for
nothing
little bear shocked us or a person can
even go to sleep and if they haven't Zim
says he's such a fighter
before they go to sleep he need Mohana
mazuma to go to sleep so I could be
awake to wake up my Kindle are so that
they will be on time then every moment
I'll be a dremel every moment of your
sloth you get scarred that even though
my welcome can't imagine so
the secular world wants us to believe
you put the woman in their place and
they do the cooking the cleaning and we
say you know what it was a fight in the
base on Macduff who would be able to do
the medaka buys everyone wanted to
because they understood
you're not just cleaning from his back
you're not just cleaning but I get to
clean them his back I get to go to base
I'm mic'ed us and clean it as rain in my
book cooking people fought for the honor
if there was a customer if there was a
president who was coming wouldn't you
wanna make him miss coffee the president
you make it just so cuz it's cautious
like a little lot date the foam on top a
little cinnamon I want I want him to
because the customer thing so why are
you kinder lock any less important than
Donald Trump he's so excited to give
Donald Trump for cereal be excited to
give my she and yaki is cereal because
you know what they're gonna do with it
they'll have energy it'll go into their
bones in their blood and next time they
wrap you says what's the pox at work so
tight they're gonna know they'll be
alert and awake because you made sure
that they were fed in the morning you
made sure that they left without stress
to the bus you're you you are a
should've without sham
that's not apologetic this is how we
have to live our lives otherwise we're
daydreaming so never never never look at
what you do as mundane that's what's so
special have even install it says
inspectors then we Arusha knew Bannen la
marca we are running we are the children
of our sunset every single thing we do
we do for the greatest king the now mark
and welcome there's nothing that we do
that's mundane not getting dressed not
eating not cleaning not making par no
sir you don't need a sit in front of the
choristers to feel like you don't need
to you just need to have an Sinan
that everything you do is to love our
Shem and to create Guillory Sina and if
you do that you're gonna feel so great
you're gonna you can understand that
every day you live a life of Mitzvah
even if it means scrubbing the yellow
off of the collar it's a mitzvah
it is a mitzvah and you should never
feel it's anything less than a coin
gobble in country Kardashian
