Modern day story about Mesiras Nefesh for learning in Lakewood - Rabbi Shlomo Landau

how to hide I'd like to share a remarkable story that transpired recently but equally as important I want to share the commentary of the person that shared this story with me not that long ago in Lakewood there was a younger man was a tremendous mass of it he learned diligently from morning to night he had a mishbach a wife and children and he literally was totally into his learning his diving it was over Hashem in the highest caliber one day he comes home for supper and his wife gives him I don't know something very meager a peanut butter sandwich and she says I'm so sorry that this is all that I have to give you but unfortunately the financial situation is so challenging we push it don't have money to buy food he's very taken it back you know she's kind of shoulder the financial responsibility and sheltered him from what was going on but obviously he gave my enough as she got to a really bad situation and she says to him she goes I don't know how we can continue over here I don't have money to buy food for the kids clothing to pay for the heating it's it's I'm not sure what we should do and husband you know he all of a sudden he's like he's at a loss what does one do almost any sister he says you know a Year's first line of defense is be talking let's be Mercado let's strengthen our betahal and our trust in Hashem and Hashem will help us she says you know you're right be talking is important about like what someone the person is going to give us a check I don't see any secret there's no there's no real way that we're gonna get out of this terrible situation like I don't know what to do because I'm telling you that's been because you and me together and you'll see will help us out we're on his team we're doing his work says you know you're right I talk about it it was difficult for me but I'm going to be my closet myself and the two of them together worked under beta within two weeks the fellows dominating mayrov and after Meyer if someone comes over to him and says can I talk to you for a second he says sure he's taking maybe the guy wants a donation he doesn't have any money himself to him you know I'm here I represent a tremendous because you're a very wealthy person recently he decided he wants to try to help a few very serious genuine young alight in a real way Cascio question how are you doing financially I think a man he opens up and he says we manage don't have money for basic necessities the fellow says to him you're the person that he's looking to help don't worry about it going forward you and your wife will be receiving a monthly check that will take care of all your financial worries here's the first check go home and tell your wife you guys have to continue doing what you're doing and we'll have the stress of supporting you care if iron he went from a desperate situation to being able to continue and learn that's the story incredible story the fella stared the story with me said that there are two things that we need to take the heart from this story number one that be talking works there's no such thing as saying how am I going to have you sure someone can randomly going to write me a check who has he gives and for those they get the second thing he said and maybe more important is that there are still people living these days nowadays who are struggling at being Meister nephesh to be able to do a Vedas Hashem to continue to learn that's also something we have to take to heart how am I willing to be most inefficient are we what are we willing to do for our Terror
