beautiful story about aidic Rabbi a
Jewish leader sadic and makba La
cabalist person that really was really
living in the heavens but but walking on
Earth walking with his young son who
would become a leader of Israel as
well protection you when you got prote
in Hebrew they call when you got
connections you know get the job so
they're walking strolling talking about
things and the sun just unconsciously
grabs some leaves that are you know from
a from a branch or a tree or bush and
crumples them and the father stops him
and says my son in that moment where you
grabbed those leaves and crushed them
crumpled them were you conscious that
that that you're part of God's world
you're a visitor here in God's world
were you respecting and appreciating
that you're in God's world when you did
that let us take a moment to
appreciate where that Rabbi that man was
standing between Heaven and Earth
respecting appreciating and understand
understanding that he's a guest in God's
world and teaching a young boy that you
would think let him play what's the big
deal he just crumpled a few leaves but
no because he was teaching that boy who
has children have an amazing potential
and and their minds are open their
sponges we can build children into
Giants instead we build them into
overgrown
babies that child was he understood how
ready he was to absorb truth real
goodness purpose and he became a Jewish
leader because he had the right
father the right teacher today fathers
are not teachers and I include myself in
that unfortunate on some level we are
just you know Banks we're a bank we're
we're a supermarket we're a grocery
store you know we're a sneaker store you
know right now we're dealing with Co
Hans that's that's that's the shoe on
the market right now that my son wants
so unfortunately sometimes we as parents
can can become physical providers we
provide clothing we provide food we
provide shelter but but what does it
mean to really be a father and mother
what does it mean to nurture what does
it mean to raise what does it mean to to
to have a a real child so that you can
only understand when you look at the
story of Esther Esther was an orphaned
girl and she was raised by her uncle
morai and over there it says that morai
was ohen at hadasa morai literally
raised built helped create was a partner
in creating hadasa which was Esther the
heroine of the
story that's what it means it means when
you feed them and you provide for them
of course
physically emotionally
mentally spiritually when you
create them and give them eyes to see
the truth the way this Rabbi was showing
his son and the way M showed Esther then
you are the person's father and that is
why a teacher a rabbi you don't have to
be literally Rabbi you could teacher
someone who teaches his his neighbor
child Torah it's as if he gave birth to
him as well we're not taking anyone away
from their real parents parents are
amazing they're great for getting shoes
when you need another a new suit they're
great but when someone takes from his
time and shares from his life experience
and his learning again life experience
is great but we can all experience uh
going around and marry around and get
nowhere so life experience together with
education with learning with truth not
just uh you know we'll call whatever we
want art and it's actually nude magazine
we call it art that's not what we mean
we mean when you're when you're when
you've searched for truth and you've
lived and you've earned the right to be
listened to because you worked hard and
you share that time of yours and wisdom
of yours with with those younger than
you those that know less than you you in
in some way are creating them you're
helping to create them you're helping to
build them and you're like like their
parent as well that's why your students
are considered your
children
