Don't be a Wallflower! - Rabbi Shimon Isaacson

some alaikum everyone hope and have a wonderful wonderful week and this would be with parashas at the end of the past we have some very very striking souq in the toy tells us that Ayla told us terrac and Tara had three sons he was molded as Abram as nakharve as Horan three sons and immediately after the birth of these three sons were told by yamas and haran has a sun load and harun dies very mysterious very mysterious and Hazard said vanillas Aviv who is this and hazal tells us a backstory over here an important backstory we all know the back story but it was a fundamental philosophical battle between Nimrod the world leader the head of the pagans who was building Towers the tower above El to rebel against Hashem and avram who was searching for Hashem the first monotheist and they had debates and they had fights and Nimrod wants to pull him in and Destroy avron and Abram says to Neiman who do you worship what are you worshiping who's your god who created the world but what created the world can't be water comes from clouds clouds that's your god well winds can blow away clouds wind well a man can withstand withstand wind so who are you what is this all about and Nimrod has has enough he doesn't want to engage in philosophical debates and he decides he's going to throw Ava mavino into a kitchen Ace and kill him execute him end of story well this is all going on this whole elaborate story The Magic fleshes out so Harin is watching the scene and Nimrod turns to Horan and says to him how and whose side are you on whose team are you on are you with me are you with avrin and haran says teach us the medrish he says let's see I'm gonna wait and see what happens to abnavina and Nimrod says Fine wait and see he throws admavino into the kitchen Ace and boom a miracle an Ace and avram walks out brushes himself off unscathedly slime says okay how are your turn who are you with and haran says I'll go with avrah throws harun into the Egyptian Ace and Haron dies harun dies a story a nice story about avrin but I think there's a message here about Horan as well because horn was a person who was what I call a Wallflower someone who stands on the sidelines Waits Waits let's see what happens I'm gonna wait and see how things play out stand on the sidelines let's see who's winning in the fourth quarter and then perhaps I'll pick a side but I'm gonna wait and see just just hang out be a bystander not be a player in this stage of this battle at the end of the day yeah Nimrod was lost too but horn perhaps is The Biggest Loser in the story because to stand on the sideline let life pass you by let things move forward and you're not a player on that stage that's the biggest tragedy of all and this was horror he couldn't make a move he had to have proof positive 100 Let Me Wait and See so often in life we find people that are just waiting and waiting and waiting and they never really they never really capture the moment we see this in Yeshiva sometimes people say I'll wait till next month I'll wait till next month soon I'll get into it and all of a sudden things pass then by this is a story of life to go ahead and step forward make moves when we have the opportunity in all areas of life make moves take steps it requires sometimes risk-taking sometimes it requires a little bit of boldness but that's perhaps the less told Noah also had this challenge he wouldn't go into the table until the war is forced him in he was he wasn't fully fully there that's the difference between Noah the ability to take both steps to make moves to forge A New Path but we all bizoka to learn the lesson of our great Ave AV from avino as we are of course Zera afro
