Ohr HaChayim | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

[Music] It's a very famous story but who was one of the lived in Morocco and he was a person that loved the Torah in such a way and learned the Torah in such a way that it was beyond extraordinary. a lot of a uh huge huge new insights on the Torah on different parts of it's just unbelievable stuff. Anyone that has the fortune to read some of his commentary on Torah or other things you have it's it's unbel unbelievable stuff. It's not easy but nonetheless it's beautiful beautiful things beautiful about everything. this or he worked for s some Arab jeweler but he had an unusual deal was the deal every day I'm going to work exactly how much money I need to earn I need to earn 10 shekels so I could spend a few shekels to buy food for my family a few shekels to pay for the house that's it finished as soon as I earn the amount of shekels that I need for the day I stop work and go learn to Now for a while this worked out. The Arab boss didn't really have much of a choice because Ben the was extraordinarily talented. He made very very nice jewelry. He didn't have much of a choice. At the same token, he didn't have much of a demand for more until one day the sultan the sultan comes and there's a wedding in his house and he comes to this Arab jeweler and he says, "Listen, I see that you make the most beautiful jewelry. I want you to make a special piece of jewelry to for every member of my family." So he took the contract and he had to meet a deadline. And because had this special deal, he said to them, "No, I need you to work more." Oh said, "No, no, no. I don't work more. I work exactly like every other day. The fact that you sign a contract and you have a deal, that's your problem. I'm going to work the same thing I work. I need to earn five shekeles today. That's where I'm going to work. I need to earn 10. That's when I'm going to work." Yeah, but I have the the king. He told me, he said, "I work for the bigger king. I work for the king of kings." As you would have it, the time came. Sultan is expecting, the king of Morocco is expecting the uh the delivery of this jewelry and doesn't have it. He bring the Arab in. So, I'm going to kill you. You embarrass my whole family. He says, "No, your highness. It's not my fault." It's not your fault. What do you mean it's not your fault? Whose fault is it if it's not your fault? You're the jeweler. He says, "No, it's this Jew's fault." Jew? What Jew? THIS JEW THAT WORKS FOR ME doesn't want to WORK FOR YOUR HIGHNESS. WHAT? BRING HIM IN HERE. They confirmed that's the case. So, we're going to feed you to my lions. This king had a cage of lions. Anytime somebody didn't do exactly what he said, that he made them lunch for his lions. So, they made sure to starve the lions for a few days. And then they tell you're going to become lunch for the lions. Did not get nervous, did not even think for a second. He says, "Can I bring my to fill in with me and also my book?" What? Those boxes on your head? Yeah. Can I bring those? Yeah, sure. They'll eat that, too. They'll probably like it. Maybe they'll clean their teeth with it. And the book. Can I bring the book for what? You want the lion? You going to teach the lions how to read? No, I want to read. You think you're going to read? They start laughing at him. Look at this Jew. HE THINK HE'S going to read his books with the lions. He doesn't realize the lions are going to eat him and the book. Go ahead. Break. Go ahead, brother. Go. Go. Bring the book. And he takes puts on his to fill in. And he takes his book and they put him into the lion cage. They were so scared of the lions. They didn't they themselves would not enter the cage expecting to see the lions jump on him and eat him up and tear him up to pieces. Everyone is shocked. As soon as sits down on the ground, opens his and starts learning Torah and all of the lions that have been starved for several days. Come and sit right next to [Music] Now, initially they don't know what to tell the king. Say, "Oh, maybe somebody messed up and really fed them already this morning. DID YOU DO IT? DID YOU DO IT? NOBODY KNOWS. OKAY, you know what? Let's not tell the king. Let them like not eat anything for a little while. They'll probably eat him later today. The next day they come is still learning Tawa. Hasn't eaten, hasn't drunk anything. The lions haven't eaten. They haven't Everybody's fasting and they're all still sitting. And once in a while, they lick his feet. They lick his feet. playful with him. Next day, next day, three days. Three days, these lions are there sitting at feet and waiting without drinking, without eating, simply learning Torah nonstop. And after 3 days the people are saying okay this must be a very holy person that the creation is scared of him. These lions are scared of him. They will not eat him. They ran to the king and he told him your highness you have to see this. The king comes and he sees sitting and learning Torah with his on reading a book and the lions scared to death of this rabbi. Immediately this king apologizes to him says please please would you please come out with us? We're really sorry. Kiss falls on his on his fore kisses his feet. I'm sorry I didn't know you were such a holy person. M like the story of Daniel in the Tanakh and this is not 3,000 years ago. It's a couple hundred years ago, 300 years ago. A person that had to such an extent they literally would not work a minute a minute more than was needed because it would hurt their Torah. They did not work because they wanted to go play video games. Did not work because they wanted to go hang out with the boys and girls. Did it not work because they wanted to sleep a little extra before they die and sleep permanently? No, he didn't work because it would interfere with his Torah schedule. And it's better not to eat, not to drink than to interfere my Torah schedule. Say, "Thank you, Hashem, for more Torah." 1 2 3 1 2 3 Be patient. [Music]
