Morning Blessings: Who Gives Sight to the Blind - Rabbi Maimon Elbaz

[Music] the next burdock how we stay in the morning when we wake up is the bracha by real kitaj shamel okay a numerical um blasta uhm our God King of the universe who gave sight to the blind pull chaos dream that's one of the first bra hope we stay in the morning without eyesight would a person make it out of bed without stumbling Hashem is generous he gave us in our body many doubles he'd just give us one kidney to clean our blood he actually gave us to a sham didn't just give us one ear he gave us two and it's the same thing with our nostrils and the same thing with many of our organs that a sham gave us doubles there's two lungs there's two legs is two hands and we have to appreciate that a Shem gave us two cameras in this camera that each one sees the world a little different and this helps us be able to see the distance something is and this can help us when we're walking and when we're going through life very important than some people rahman allah salaam they lost vision in one eye life is really compromise for them I site is not just something that we need to live but I site gives us so much some think of this memories you got with your eyes when you saw a loved one it could be an aunt an uncle a mother a father a son a daughter brother and sister a neighbor a friend a person's eyes are constantly making memories memories that lift our spirits and any day and that's what we think a sham first thing in the morning for eyes that help us to make a living help us go around when a person has good vision he's also going to enjoy the world better he'll enjoy his family and friends today thanks to doctors and medicine they have devised glasses and contacts and even laser surgery which can take a person's eyesight which is becoming weak and they can make it strong again so when you say this Brock ah thank you Sam for the of sight cameras we all know have a limited memory I'm sure you remember you were using your camera you started taking pictures and then it tells you memory full and then you have to sit there erasing some pictures so you can start to take some more pictures we have to think assume that our cameras our eyes they don't run out of memory you could keep taking pictures did you ever wonder which bracha is the longest Brock on the seed or I'm sure if you opened up a seed or you see a lot of vertical the average Jews supposed to say 100 plus things a day the bracha that's the longest is the bracha about lights the bracha vo sphere or aboard a culture I once counted there's close to 500 words in this one Baraka why is the bracha so long and I was thinking cuz without lights a person will be in the dark some people are scared of the dark what can you accomplish in the dark so what we think a sham for the Sun for the tremendous like that that solar power gives to the world thank you a shame for making such a powerful sonic and also for light poles Thomas Edison invented light bulbs wow how lucky we are we touches the light switch and voila magic the house is not dark anymore it's a wonderful thing we take it for granted do you think in the olden days they were able to travel at night was pitch dark today he's going the car you turn on the lights you drive in the dark you don't even think twice about it the gamarra tells us a blind person cannot enjoy his food he's never satisfied he eats and then he somehow feels hungry when you see the food that satisfies prize you just seeing it you take a bite you feel the texture of the foods of different colors whether it's the red watermelon or the orange melons that the green honeydew the yellow pineapple everything has its own color but Vic DeMille's to say look how much that makes red peppers green peppers yellow peppers the banana the shiny yellow puts a person in a good mood he sees an orange ah what a way to start the day the red shiny Apple so we can still have to appreciate the color has sham puts in the world that some people they can't see colors to them the world is black and white they can't enjoy the world as much it's almost like the days of black-and-white television we think Hashem that our eyes can be holding its vault like the beautiful menorah and Honoka how it shines illuminates the dark we think a charm for the beautiful flowers that blossom in the spring the colourful meadows and we think a sham for all those specials to my hope that we can't take out of her mind whether it was a beautiful how to another wedding the Hoopa whether it was the bar mitzvah the padrona van these are magical moments so we take a sham for our eyesight the question is does a blind person say this fer da hah and the answer is he does to tell you why because because a blind person is lucky that even if he can't see there are people that can help him see someone would see the person walking with the white stick with the red tip he realizes the person is legally blind he runs over and said sir should I cross through the street or let's say someone has a seeing-eye dog to help them walk safely in the street without getting hit by a car acosta Shalom so you see that the blind person is also fortunate that others can see for him so yes a blind person will say the bracha of bococky dream so when you say this Baraka in the morning think a sham for the gift of eyesight and how much safer you are when you have good eyesight it makes you not to get in an accident you can learn Torah with your eyesight can a blind person learn well maybe has Braille to learn some torah with his fingers reading the words but I don't think he has the shots the Tanakh the Shekinah rule and how many times today you could go flick on tour anytime in order the sudden you're watching a torso or your I think something applying man doesn't have that convenience we have he da boots television in Israel a blind person can't exactly see it so how much we should be grateful every time you use their eyes and let's not forget that with every gift comes responsibility if a guy gives the Sun that keeps our car before the kid thinks I'm so lucky he has to realize one second I better be responsible that no one gets hurt with this car it is the same thing with the gift of ein it's a gift use it wisely don't use it in the wrong way don't use it to give someone I ain't hard up on me none don't look at something that's not appropriate that's your way of saying thank you a chef for this wonderful gift I'll leave you with one singular we all wear at elite for shoddy the hefei opinion says if when you're saying the Shema you take the seat seat and you bring them over your eyes as you say the pursuit of Chima it's a cig Allah they should never lose your vision now I don't know about girls they don't wear tallies were they going to get this big lie but I think if a girl is careful to be sneezed she doesn't cause somebody to start staring at her then that alone will be as the booth for her eyesight as well Thank You ash n was a beautiful gift of 2020 vision and even if it's not perfect sometimes it's better that way be happy that you can see whatever you can
