[Music]
we're almost uh
holding by Tisha by AV
it's very hard for us
to feel
the morning
at the bedtime
because it's been so many
[Music]
almost 2 000 years since we lost it
once said
people
they pray very hard
Hashem we need wisdom help us we pray to
enable help us with our problems
but when we come to the parts of the
amida about him
maybe our kavana is not as great
said if we would only know
that if the sheikhina returned to Sion
we wouldn't have any problems
we would have so much more kavana
but that's not why we want the beta
macdash
you always hear when a tragedy happens
we need mashiach now
we need mashiach that's not why we want
mashiach that's an added bonus
that will be out of all this
when we went into exile
the sheikhina also went into exile
it says
in Exile
how do we feel the pain of the shekhina
Hashem is in galoud what does that mean
to me
I once heard a martial from Rabbi zamir
Cohen
he said imagine
the king found out that his son
committed a terrible crime and was
sentenced to five years in prison
and in those days prison was very it was
terrible conditions
he was only going to be fed bread and
water
and he was going to be lying on the
floor they weren't even giving him a bed
and the King finds out about this and he
says Ah my son what could I do that
rules other rules
that night the King goes
sits at his Royal
dining room table with all the
Delicacies of the world and he says I
can't eat this my son's eating bread and
water
I just want bread and water King
you can't have bread and water you're
the king that's all I could eat the king
eats bread and water
then he goes to sleep that night on the
Royal bed
he says I can't sleep like this put me
on the floor the floor you're the king
my son my son is sleeping on the floor I
can't sleep on my bed
and for weeks and weeks and weeks the
king is sleeping on the floor
and he's eating bread and water
when the son finds out about his father
what his father is going through
any child with a heart who is he gonna
feel worse for himself
or his father
himself he did the crime he deserves it
but my father
what did my father do
why should he have to suffer
immediately the boy is going to start
becoming better and say if I behave
could you get me out earlier I don't
want my father to be suffering like this
this is how we have to feel
we sin but what did our father do
why should our father be suffering
what could I do to get Hashem out of
this
what do I need to do stop hating people
okay I'll stop
to have to be better in this area I'll
do it what wouldn't I do for my father
people say
don't we have everything great today
look at eres Israel
look at how much Torah is there it's
built up the city is great
I heard another Michelle imagine there
was a wedding
and everything was set the Banquets
ready the part the ballroom the bride
the marches the khupa
but they're just waiting for the groom
where's the groom we're ready to start
where's the groom
there's nowhere to be found they look
into it and they found out the groom
took a flight out of New York he left he
got nervous
at that moment the party
is going to turn into mourning
look at this poor bride she's all ready
for the wedding and there's no there's
no khatan
that's what it's like
yes it is great but we're missing the
Shekinah
we're missing the groom
and what caused what's the cause of all
of this
it is only because of our sins why we're
still here
Hashem desires us so badly
we read in last week's
begins his rebuke before he passes away
and he told the Jewish people
it was a 11-day journey from
foreign
Hashem was hurrying he wanted you so
badly he gave you Kippy SATA you did it
in three days
look what you caused
it was your sins that caused a 40-year
detour
Hashem loves us he wants to bless us he
wants to give us he wants to be close to
us
it's our sins
that block him from it
we know David he sangam is more over the
qurban
misses Miss more
it should be kinale David
why are you singing in this mode
says oh because Hashem took his wrath
out on sticks and stones
rather than his precious people
he said you call the beta miktash sticks
and stones
the holiest place on Earth
he says yeah
in comparison to the Jewish people even
the betta mcdash is just sticks and
stones
we are hashem's pride and joy
everything that we do is what matters
is a representation of our relationship
with him when we're close to him he's
with us he brings down his presence
he wants us
ha came in he walked into the kodesh
kadashim a place where no Jews were
allowed only the Cohen gadol once a year
on the holiest day of the year after
seven days of preparation
and Titus walks right into this holy
makom
and he takes a sephir Torah
and he rolls out the Scrolls on the
floor
and he takes a Zona
and commits an act of zenu right in that
how disgusting
how does that make us feel
says you know what's worse than that
what could be worse than that
worse than that act
is when any Jew even the simplest Jew
has even one impure thought
does more damage than anything
could ever do
what
one impure thought
he says because we are created
Hashem doesn't have an image
Hashem is called the bowel cohort
Hashem is connected he's influencing the
upper worlds he influences the lower
worlds everything happens because of him
and he created us with that power we
also have cohort we are connected to the
upper worlds to the lower we you know
what we do once anything we do is
connected all over on the other side of
the world is affected because of our
Deeds
what we do is what matters no one should
ever think one time I'll just do this
nobody's looking
every single deed is huge
and every single deed counts
[Music]
somebody once asked him
he quoted him from the tikone Zohar
it says any Mitzvah that's done
without fear and trepidation and the
proper cabinet and love for Hashem
doesn't go up to shamaim
she said
how are our Deeds gonna make it we don't
have all these kavanot like the old
Generations
said
let me tell you a story
I once met a baker
and I asked him how things were he said
Rabbi my life so hard I wake up at two
o'clock in the morning and I'm baking
the whole night
and when the customers finally come in
all they do is complain this bread is
too round this one's too soft this one's
too hard and when I tell them the prices
they go to my competition
so difficult
then I saw this fellow after World War
one broke out
and he looked so happy
I said what's going on why are you so
happy he said business is great
I said why he says nobody asked any
questions they just want bread they
don't care if it's hard they don't care
if it's off they don't go to my
competition
they just take it we're in the time of
War
M said oh you taught me a great lesson
today we are in a time of battle
is battling us
thank you
we're in a time of fierce battle
with the yes
and every deed we do Hashem doesn't ask
questions just give it to me he takes it
if said that in the early 1900s what
would he say today in 2023 with the yes
dancing in the streets
how every little deed is so belovedashem
how somebody turns away from looking at
something that he shouldn't be looking
at
how precious is it
we have to utilize the opportunities
when we still have them
we're at the end of days doorstep
another fellow once told
he said I can't wait for mashiach to
come
then I'll finally be able to serve
Hashem the way I want to now I can it's
too hard
but when I don't have yet said I'll be
able to serve him
and then I'll be able to gain Allah
said not so fast
when mashiach comes since there's no yet
you're not going to be able to earn
reward anymore
so they asked
doesn't that right
that all of our grades did not want
mashiach
so they could rule over the world or so
they could eat and drink and be merry
they wanted mashiach so they could be
free to learn Torah
and earn merits and acquire the world to
come
say that
can we earn the world to come or can we
earn the world to come
answers based on that sabim
he says it's true once the yet is
slaughtered
we can no longer overcome any tests
that's it it's over the game's over
however if while the yet sarada is still
here
you're able to overcome a test you will
be rewarded for all of the days of
mashiach as you continue to do that
mitzvah
although there's no more tests
because you proved yourself you beat it
already
and you will earn reward someone who's
able to learn now with all the
distractions and everything pulling him
in every direction and he comes home at
night and he's so tired and I just want
to relax and he goes out to learn team
then when mashiach comes and he has his
same Torah he's gonna gain reward
even though it's going to be so easy
even it's go it's even though it's gonna
be obvious what else would I do other
than learn
now is the time when we could still
prove ourselves
The Villa nagaon says the worst gehinam
is Regret but we could have had it was
so easy why didn't I do it why did I
overcome it
now is the time
there are three individuals
that Hashem proclaims in shamaim he
makes an announcement about them every
single day how great they are
who are the three individuals
Hotel
a single man who lives in the city but
doesn't sin
foreign
a poor man who finds a lost object and
returns it
and a wealthy man uh
he gives his head in private
these three people Hashem goes crazy for
what is so great about them
you see these three individuals have
burning desires a bachelor in the city
a poor man who needs every penny
and a wealthy man who can get so much
honor from his money
and they all
squelch their desire
D Hashem alone
just me and you Hashem
nobody knows if this bachelor sins or
doesn't sin and he holds back for Hashem
nobody would know if this poor man puts
the money in his pocket and walks away
just Hashem
nobody knows that this rich man is
giving his money privately it's only me
and you Hashem
Hashem says
nephesh for me
not for the honor not for what you're
going to get out of it just for me
Hashem goes crazy he announces you in
shamaim
there's nobody like him
one of the most private
parts
that we have is our heart
nobody knows what's in a person's heart
nobody knows a person's feelings
does he hate doesn't he hate
we know how to cover things up
does he have doesn't he have been is he
afraid is he not afraid
the heart is very private
it's something that's only between us
and Hashem
you know what it says about the heart of
Arona kohen
I read something today unbelievable
it says every time aharon's death is
mentioned in the Torah it makes a point
to tell us I'll give UL edits he's
buried on hard
foreign
he's buried by the border of Edom why is
that important for us to know our own is
buried on the border of Edom
by moshera Benoit says he was buried
mulbetor
and the transport bring from the midrash
it's to teach us that whenever the
kittur
tries to get us in trouble
we say sorry Ben was right there Moshe
protects us
so it seems like aharon being buried by
the border of verdome is protecting us
from some kid
says
Edom
is
par excellence
didn't serve his father for 22 years and
asab was there
tell us
what is the word it come to include
when Brothers honor each other
it's actually a great kavod to the
parent
the parent sees his children honor each
other he loves it the parent loves to
see the children honor each other
it's not only says
when the younger honors the older
if the older honors the younger what an
honor that is to the parent look at my
children they honor each other
used to be the spokesman for Claudius
Israel
when was said
Rashi says the one who you always send
was in direct communication with Hashem
and then all of a sudden one day out of
nowhere
and it goes to Moshe
and Hashem tells Moshe go greet your
brother aharon
my brother Aaron you're the leader now
imagine
is talking to Hashem his whole life and
now he loses it
to his younger brother do you know what
type of pleasure it's brought down a
navi experiences communicating with
Hashem
is losing that now no more when it says
from now on Hashem even when it says
it wasn't director Arun foreign
my whole life hashem's talking to me now
he has to go through my younger brother
to give me a message
that's a huge test even for one time in
life to go through that test
he was happy I'm so happy for my younger
brother
he's going to experience that wonderful
feeling he's going to be close to Hashem
Hashem said put the effort
heart but that test wasn't only for one
day
that test was for the next 40 years
every time
could think what about me
and Aaron was happy for more share for
40 years because the proof is the koshan
stayed on his heart
Hashem said
you know how to honor your father you
tried to kill your brother
of course he honored his father he even
honored his brother
he shuts down
for all of eternity
because of his heart because the heart
of aharon who knows what's in his heart
who knows
it's only Hashem
what's in my heart
our heart is so private but it's such a
kid
when we change our heart
in honor of him
do it for who is he happy for he knows
it's that son Hashem I'm happy because
that's what Hashem wants
people say how could I forgive how could
I do this
how it's not so Hashem what else do you
need to know
I was speaking to a woman recently I
felt so bad for her
she was telling me about a child of hers
who was in the hospital and they had to
do a spine operation on him
and loha Leno they cut something wrong
and he was brain dead
and she had so much animosity
towards the doctor and towards this one
and that one and there were so many
people said who could have helped before
that happened and they didn't and this
organization and this one and that one
and she had everyone to blame
and she started learning
and she came to me and she said I know
Hashem was in charge I know it was all
Hashem
I just can't get over this one person
she was they were right there they could
have helped I can't
but I want to forgive them because I
know it's Hashem what should I do
I told her you're a hero look at you
you have every reason to be angry and
you're trying to see what you could do
to forgive and get the anger out of your
heart
you know what they're saying about you
in shamayim
she's asking for advice please I want to
forgive tell me what to do
I told you you know how proud Hashem is
of you
this is an avodah of Our Own Heart
I can't forgive what he did to me it's
not forgivable
on the surface level you may be right
but this is Hashem in the world
Hashem says he's not in charge this guy
I did it
you care about me forgive him
how is it that the first beta mikdash
they committed the words
and 70 years later the beta macdash is
back
but for the sin of Sinatra Nam we're
still suffering for two thousand years
why can't we fix it
the answer is because the other three
everyone knows is wrong
of course it's wrong I can't rationalize
murder how could I rationalize arayat
but synonym
for me it's allowed
to hate
him what he did
we rationalize and we rationalize and we
rationalize
and that's why we're still here
because Sinatra Nam is always
rationalized there's always a good
reason
but Hashem says
it's not allowed
[Music]
the rare cases that sinach is allowed is
is so rare it never applies
you want to do an act like Hashem
change your heart
take out the animosity and say Hashem I
know nobody knows this other than you
nobody knows I know how to smile to
people but deep down I hate him
but I'm gonna take the hatred out for
you
Hashem will announce in shamayim look at
my precious child
look at this
sacrifice he's making for me that nobody
else knows
the service
of trusting in Hashem
of relying on Hashem of not fearing men
of not worrying about this one's going
to do and what that one's gonna do and
what about him and what about her and
how this Shad Khan caused my problem and
that shot khanid and this one and that
nonsense
stop complaining about people
there's nobody other than Hashem
but we could say the words
but how do we feel in our heart
do we really feel that way we just talk
people aren't reliable anyway it's not
worth it don't don't invest in them they
can't help you out there
I want to share with you a story
recently happened
and I want to thank Hashem in public
I was out of town
and
Hashem I always try
Hashem that when I have to travel I try
to schedule my flights that I shouldn't
have to miss mignon
so this last trip somebody scheduled My
Flights I saw my flight back as 1 pm it
was out of the country
and the mignon there was 8 am
I said okay give me enough time
everything's good
the person calls me it was a Tuesday
he said okay the driver is going to pick
you up Thursday morning at 8.
I said why so early the flight's at one
I said oh you're leaving from a
different airport it's three hours away
it's International you got to be there
by 11 you have to leave at 8.
in the town
is eight o'clock
it's the only flight the whole day
Thursday if you miss this one you won't
be home for Shabbat you're stuck
I said okay let me see what I could do
so on Wednesday morning after mignon
there's 12 people in the show I go to
the gabai
I say what do you think about
diving tomorrow at seven
are you crazy no one here's davening at
seven I said ah you and me
make an announcement
okay after he gets up anybody here want
to dive in tomorrow at seven
he said ah some guy is asking you want
to do it or not
not one person said yes
see I told you sorry
I said ah I don't need you people
maybe I'll find somewhere I start
thought maybe on the way to the airport
there's no mignon for miles and miles
and my impossible I said Hashem please
I always try I really want mignon please
Hashem you help me
that night seven o'clock
702 you have the same 12 people there
seven hasidi Morgan
so what's going on
they said the rebbe just landed the
rebbe which rebe the Alexander rebbies
here
I said who's that it's big rebby
I said okay great the rebbe walks in
everyone's kissing his hand
he comes up to the front
and
minha
afterwards I said they said okay what
time is 9 30. okay we'll be back
I said what's going on he said oh the
rebbe is here for a month
to be first getting in today
the seven of us came with him
I said what about tomorrow morning oh
yeah we have three more people coming
tonight we're diving ourselves
I said where about a mile away I said
with the rebe diving at
Sevens at seven
I said okay great could I come
of course I said I don't have a car I'll
pick you up
the next morning at 6 30 the man pulls
up in front my hotel I get in the car
and I dive in with the rebbe I said
Thank You Hashem in the middle of
nowhere
I got the mignon
people are not reliable but hashem's
reliable
Hashem wants our hearts
the first to shabbat
was caused because of a lack of betahon
we cried and complained
we didn't trust in Hashem
part of the tikku and we need to make is
to trust in him more
sometimes we see things happening
very difficult people say how could this
be good
how could me suffering like this for so
long be good it's not good I can't serve
Hashem properly I can't do this I can't
do that
how could this be Mercy I'm in such pain
they're asking very strong questions how
could that be Mercy
and they learn about how loving and
merciful Hashem is and that's precisely
why they have such questions
we have to know even more
was not
privy to this information
is
Hashem told him you want to know my ways
and he showed him the following scene
he showed him there was a man
who went to the river to get a drink
and his wallet stuffed with cash fell
out of his pocket
he walked away
man number two comes sees the wallet on
the floor
puts it in his pocket and walks away
in the meantime man number three comes
he's relaxing by the river man comes
number one comes back where's my wallet
where's my wallet he sees man number
three by the river where's my wallet I
don't know what you're talking about
where's my wallet give me my wallet he
starts beating him and beating him and
he kills him
says where's the justice
how could this be
Hashem says you can't understand my ways
you see man number one he stole that
wallet from man number two
I brought it about man number two got
his money back
man number three
the other day he murdered man number
one's father
I brought about his death through man
number one
we have such a narrow view of the world
we can't possibly understand
but even what seems to be the biggest
cruelty is always Mercy
I heard a story recently
Lo aleno there was a young boy
somebody poured a burning hot cup of tea
put it on the table and walked out of
the room
and this little boy was at the table he
took the cup and he took a big gulp
and he burned his throat he started
screaming
they called the ambulance the ambulance
came the boy was screaming bitter tears
he was going crazy they would bring him
to the emergency room the father
couldn't bear to listen to the agony his
son was in he tells the paramedic could
you give him something just to calm him
down
he said sorry and we're not allowed
you're not allowed look at my son he's
gone crazy sorry I'm not allowed
a couple of minutes later he's going
wild he's screaming
please just give him something sorry I'm
not allowed he said
if you had a Heart of Stone your heart
should melt from my son's cries he
wouldn't budge we got to the emergency
room
I tell the doctor please give my son in
the meantime something to calm down of
course he gives him something to calm
down a minute later the child starts
gasping for air he can't breathe
they quickly run into action they give
him oxygen and they put a tube down his
throat they open up the air passage he's
able to breathe they save his life
they discovered afterwards the swelling
in his throat was so big
it was closing up his Airways completely
but while he was crying in the ambulance
the moisture going down his throat was
keeping it open just enough for him to
breathe
and the ambulance they didn't have the
equipment the tools if he wouldn't have
been able to breathe to save his life
this is when the father said I can't
believe it I thought it was such cruelty
my son was screaming
and they had no heart
now I see this was the mercy of Hashem
saving my son's life
it's always like that no matter how much
pain the person's in and how much he's
crying and I can't believe this
and we can't believe it
it's still Mercy it still hashem's Mercy
and we have to believe it and we have to
stop complaining and stop questioning
you could have people
who
are praying non-stop they want something
so badly they keep asking and asking
and then all of a sudden one day they
just turn away
and they don't want to look at Hashem
and they don't want to talk to him
anymore
and I have a question
it says that the greatest connection we
could have to Hashem in this world is
through our Tiffy Lord
we're talking one-on-one personally then
we're connecting them How could somebody
dive in for so long
and then just turn away
the answer is
the pasuk says
Evo
vedorship
Young Lions become impoverished and
hungry
but those who seek out Hashem never lack
any good
it seems like from this pasuk
that the lions are being contrasted to
those who seek out Hashem
Lions don't seek out Hashem and they can
go hungry
but those who are doing Hashem they
always have everything
so Lions don't seek out Hashem
yet it says in another
that the Lions ask Hashem for their
sustenance for their food
which means they are seeking out Hashem
so make up your mind are the Lions
seeking Hashem or not
and one answer I once heard was I once
saw
is that yeah the Lions call out to
Hashem for their sustenance but that
doesn't mean that their daughter Hashem
they don't see kashem they believe he's
in charge of the food so they come to
him for help
but they're not interested in Hashem
they don't really care about him they
just want to use him to get what they
want
it is possible for a person to believe
in Hashem to pray three times a day with
all his heart
but have no interest in Hashem
a person who is adoresh Hashem is
someone who wants to be close to Hashem
who's someone who's looking to please
Hashem
our knowledge of Hashem should bring us
to stand in awe of him to want to know
more about him to get closer to him
what's the test if we are doing Hashem
well we just ask because we care about
ourselves
the test is when you don't get what
you're asking for
you say goodbye you're not helping me
Hashem I'll go somewhere else
but if you're a donation Hashem
you continue to serve him with joy you
say if this is what you want from me
Hashem I'll serve you like this
I was talking to somebody recently he's
not married
and he considers himself an older single
although he's not that old
and he said to me I can't concentrate on
anything else I can't focus on my
learning my this my business my nothing
if I'm not married I can't do anything
and I started telling him maybe there's
a little more oh give me a singular to
get married what should I do give me
advice
I said listen to me
there's much more to life than being
married
of course marriage is a goal marriage is
a Mitzvah and if you're trying to get
married and doing your history and it's
not working out
it just means that at this moment in
your life it's rason Hashem for you not
to be married
but you have such a big purpose in this
world
if you will only focus on if I'm not
getting what I want I can't live you are
missing out on life
you are missing out on your purpose
very often people get so wrapped up in
what they want and if I can't have what
I want I can't function
and you miss the whole boat
the goal was for you to produce without
that desire at this moment and if you
miss that you missed part of life
we all know
the famous
he was
confined to a cave
for 13 years
when he came out
he was so great how did he become so
great it was because of the difficulty
in his learning day and night in a dark
cave buried in the sand when his skin
was filled with cracks
one might have thought you know how
great
was why didn't Hashem make a miracle and
give him luxurious conditions
give him a nice marble floor and a
comfortable bed he's doing avodat Hashem
because Hashem know his greatness was
only going to come from his toil
we could only imagine the dreariness of
being trapped in a cave worried
about if you're ever gonna get out
worrying if you're gonna make it out
and why was he there because someone
spoke La Shona about him
it's only natural to think I don't
deserve to be here if he wouldn't have
said that that I wouldn't be here today
it's not fair
if it is
would have prayed day and night day and
night get me out of here Hashem let me
go back to my community it would have
been understandable makes sense he's
praying day and night to get out
but if he would have done that
he would have missed out on becoming
you know what he could have said Hashem
is it fair that I'm in a cave you know
who I am you know my community I have to
lead you know how many people rely upon
me now I'm alone with one person
Hashem I can't even eat the Matson
pesach
I can't even shake the lulav in a drug I
can't sit in a sukkah I can't make you
douche I can't eat
I can't hear
is this alive
[Music]
sounds like great claims
Hashem said
this is your purpose
instead of fighting it
he says if this is where you want me to
be Hashem this is where I have to grow
and he sat down in that cave day and
night and he produced the Zohar
whose light continues to illuminate the
world until mashiach
you cannot be in a situation in life and
just cry and complain and say I can't do
anything till I get out
cause then you're missing out on what
life's all about
we love to get our Wills fulfilled we
love to have our desires fulfilled and
we hope they do and we hope we do get
out and we hope we do get married and we
get a child and we get that money
but until it comes
don't miss out on your purpose your
purpose was to serve Hashem like that
what you think
is your biggest obstacle
was what you needed to produce I once
heard of Michelle
there was this dove
that was born without wings
the only Bird Without Wings all of its
friends and relatives
every day would fly all over the world
and come back and talk about their great
Journeys and all the beautiful sights
and this Dove would hobble he couldn't
even walk straight and he would walk
from a inch to inch and that's it
and every day you had to hear his
friends and and relatives talking and he
said it's not fair why can I have wings
it's not fair I can't bear this anymore
and one day he cried and cried Hashem
please give me wings
sure enough the next morning the dove
wakes up
and he has these two big black wings at
its side
but it didn't even know what the wings
were
and as always
it tried to walk like it used to and
this time when it's walking it's
stumbling over the wings and it's
falling and it's falling and he says
Hashem it's bad enough that I can't I
all I can do is I can't fly now I can't
even walk
and a bat call came out from shamaim and
said my precious bird those are your
wings they're not obstacles flap them
and you'll soar to the greatest Heights
sometimes we complain Hashem it's bad
enough I have this now you do this to me
Hashem says oh if you would only know if
you could serve me like that you'd be
greater than the godollador
you'd fulfill your purpose you'll be in
the highest places in gun Eden trust me
this is what you need to do
don't fight it
says that Hashem
he cries every single day over the
qurban
he says
foreign
but when the Jewish people Gather in
shul
and they say Amen yes
Hashem says
he regrets destroying the beta when we
get into come to school and we praise
him
instead of complaining turn your
complaints into praise do you know what
our basic responsibility is towards
Hashem we're going to read in this
week's famous
says you know what that means to love
Hashem
he says it means you have to love Hashem
as if you received your greatest desire
he imagines somebody who went 20 years
without a child
I saw a video of him of a man this past
year 20 years without a child and he had
a baby boy and at the baritmila he's
saying the sheikhiana and he's crying
the love that this individual has for
Hashem at that moment you gave me my son
we all have to have that love every
single day because if he gave you your
heart's desires
foreign
imagine someone was told he's gonna die
and then Hashem saved his life
someone called me recently he said it
was right after the fast of shivas
he was going to sleep that night
and he started feeling a little chest
pain
o was indigestion he waited a little he
kept feeling it his wife said call an
ambulance he called that Salah
they came to his house
and they said we're going to take you to
this hospital he says his wife said I
don't want to go to that hospital I want
to go to that hospital is that this
one's three minutes away that one's 12
minutes away I want to go to that one
they went to the second Hospital
they get there it's a mob scene the
emergency room's packed they make
connections he finally gets in
they do an EKG they take blood tests
everything looks fine you're okay
they give him some medication to take
the pain away he's fine there's a let's
keep you here a little longer at three
o'clock in the morning they did another
test another EKG everything looks great
at eight o'clock in the morning a third
time this is Friday morning you look
fine his enzyme level was a little high
they're ready to send them home the
doctor said let's just do an angiogram
just to be sure they look at the
schedule there's 24 angiograms that day
they're not going to make it
they said if we rush you in right this
second we can make it but the first one
of the day he says they're rushing me
down the hallway I'm totally fine
they're rushing me
we get in there I get out back to my
room the doctor says I just saved your
life
he says what
your main artery was 99 blocked
another artery was 76 blocked I put in
two stents
he said what I walk four miles every day
I watch what I eat
I had no idea of the danger that I was
in
his cousin who's a cardiologist came to
visit him he said I saw all your numbers
in the hospital the test they did on you
he said it makes no sense that they did
that angiogram you were totally fine
and that first hospital doesn't even do
angiograms on site they send you away
there's no way they would have done it
there
he the man is crying on the phone Hashem
saved my life Hashem saved my life
and I'm thinking in my mind
the love that this man asked for Hashem
at that moment we have to have every
single day as if Hashem just gave us
life because he does give us life
as if a person just won the lottery the
Euphoria Hashem I'll do anything for you
that's Our obligation
at all times of day I love you Hashem
you do everything for me what do you
want from me you want me to you want me
to filter my phone you want me to not
have Smart but you want me to not have
empty what do you want I'll do it
you want me to learn more I'll do it you
want me to not hate this person I'll do
it for you
that should be our
for that Hashem whatever you want I love
you ashem
when we have this attitude our service
becomes so great
says that the main of the best Abu dhab
a person is serving Hashem
I owe you I owe you everything you want
me to wake up a little earlier and learn
of course I'll do it what wouldn't I do
for you
this is
the day
the beta mikdash
was for us to learn how to make
ourselves into a better our heart is
our heart is so private
we have to serve Hashem with our hearts
we have to serve Hashem with hakara tov
we have to serve Hashem with bitahon
with emuna with happiness without
complaining
and when we do our part
Hashem yearns for us he wants us
we are the only ones stopping him
we are the ones holding things back and
everyone could say Well when he does it
when he does it when this one does it
stop blaming everybody else what could I
do Hashem what am I going to do for you
on this so we could turn the Tisha into
the holiday that it's supposed to be
what am I gonna do for you
if everybody says that and everybody's
able to change their hearts then we will
have the geological amen
