Sometimes somebody's about to tell you a
story that you know
storyenu story you heard the story
before is teaching you both mousar about
behavior and also how to really be a how
never ever interrupt the story even if
you know the story. Meaning you heard
the story of Yamsu. How many times? X
amount of times. You heard the story of
Mosherenu coming from Mount Si how many
times? X amount of times. There's a
mitzvah. We're obligated to do every
single year on Pesak that you are
obligated all night to study all night.
Everything that happened from all the
way to Mount Si even if you are ki even
if you are the you're obligated with the
same as us little people. Why? Go over
the story again. But I heard it last
year and the year before and the year
before and the year before. Go over it
again. Number one, you could understand
something new from the same story all
the time because Torah, it never ends.
That's number one. Number two, if
someone is about to tell you a story and
you interrupt and saying, "I I heard
it." You could be ruining something for
them. Number one, maybe they wanted to
try something out by teaching somebody
and you just stole that opportunity for
them. Now this guy that was about to
teach you something, all he needed was
one student to say, "Wow, what a story."
And he was going to become a he was
going to start teaching people every
week and he was actually going to
succeed and get people do chuva every
week. And every week people do cha
people go to Hashem, people do this, do
this. But you ruined it. Why? You
thought, "Oh yeah, I heard it already.
Already destroyed his confidence. He now
wants to go back to be an engineer now.
He wants to go back and go cut hair
again. He doesn't want to be a teacher
anymore." Why? You said I heard it. The
magnitude of you saying I know, you just
destroyed millions of lives potentially.
Two, second reason, many times if you're
a speaker, you actually learn while you
speak. If you speak out loud, you're
learning. You actually end up learning
from your own speech. Why? When you
read, if you're reading it in a secular
way, you read anything in a secular way,
all you're doing is reading with your
eyes. When you read in a religious way,
you read like a bento, like a Jew.
You're reading with both your eyes and
with your lips. Meaning, you're saying
the words out loud. You don't
necessarily need to say, "Hey, like you
know some people that never do a
blessing the whole year, but one time
you do a blessing, but they want to make
sure the whole synagogue heard. You do
every blessing like that. If you do, you
should be but it's for the for the for
the uh show off." So anyway, sometimes
you learn simply by hearing yourself
because now instead of just your eyes,
instead of your eyes and your lips, now
you're also using your ears because when
you speak, you speak out loud and you're
you're repeating something, you're
sharpening your own skills and you're
also now seeing other people's reaction.
And a lot of things happen. And now
since you've repeated it out loud, all
the thoughts that you had before get
rewinded and now you start getting new
thoughts and you start getting a from
your own speech from your own I could
tell you many times during the shir
itself I got a kadoo many times
literally I think it's at least once a
week if not every sh always a koo during
a shir that's just the way it works. So
now if somebody's about to give you a
koo or some story that you heard a
thousand times already and you say no no
no I know already and you cut their
story up in half no I know I know you
could have potentially just killed their
now they're not going to get because of
you. So the character trait that we all
have to develop is to have enough
patience to let people finish what
they're going to say even if you heard
it especially if it's Torah. Especially
if it's Torah. If it's stood, if it's
the guy telling you the same story about
how he got into an accident in his car,
people that fish, people that play
poker, people that in general do certain
things, they like to repeat the stories.
It's like they've live vicariously
through their own stories that you don't
have to listen to. Again, if you have
the time and you have the ability and
you want to develop really, really good
manners and it's somebody that's
important like your father, your mom,
you have to, that's something else. But
if it's just some guy that's just
wasting your time, you have no
obligation to listen to it. But if it's
Torah, you have to listen to it. Number
one, you could help him. Number two, you
could help yourself. Number three, you
could potentially there's part of the
story you never heard. Even though you
heard the whole story a million times,
there's maybe he's going to mention one
fact that you never heard that's going
to complete the story for
you. 1 2
