BERI WEBER INTRODUCES U TO T.L.P.S! "DON'T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY!!"

hi this is Barry Weber welcome to the late parsha show are you starting to get cold where I am but where abraham was sitting right outside his tent the Sun was beating down and it was hot it was three days after Abraham had his circumcision and God allowed the Sun to shine full force the overbearing Heat would keep travelers off the road so that the ninety nine year old Abraham would be able to recover in peace and wouldn't be bothered with hosting passerby God appeared to Abraham in order to visit him thus performing his Mitzvah of visiting those who are unwell but the wound in his flesh wasn't the only thing hurting Abraham the son was causing him pain as well yeah man didn't you say it was like really hot out there what was he doing outside unless he was playing a good game of bball yeah of course certainly our ninety nine year old forefather Abraham right after having a circumcision was outside playing bball yeah being that the Sun was burning hot and there were no travelers on the road abraham was pained at the lack of opportunity to have guests so God sent angels in the form of men to walk by Abraham noticed them and ran towards them yes he was just in the middle of experiencing a revelation of God and he put that on hold to take care of something else what did it - yeah I never mind it's not exactly what it sounds like let me just tell you that it's early in the morning and I haven't yet gone to bed I honestly don't remember the last time that it took me so many hours to work on what to say in the late partial show but eventually there comes a point in the morning where your head just stops working and I want to make myself a coffee and I spilled it everywhere and I cleaned it up tried to make another coffee but on the way I slipped in the coffee that I thought I cleaned up I decided to scratch whatever took so long to work on and just say this very simple lesson that we could learn from Abraham our forefather every single Mitzvah is an opportunity as we know the word Mitzvah which means commandment comes from the word Jaffa which means connection and bond when we fulfill one of Commandments we and God unite in the most unimaginable and indescribable perfect union and bond the most intimate connection possible to the point that Abraham left God Himself aside to go to a mitzvah like a revelation of godliness is the date but the Mitzvah is the marriage and if you could skip the dating and jump right into marriage then go to that actually never mind but you get what it means in this context make sure you look at every single Mitzvah as an opportunity although a mitzvah may be tough or you may just not be in the mood it's not a burden it's an opportunity and it's an opportunity that will never present itself again because maybe you'll have another chance to do that Mitzvah but you'll never have that moment that second where you could have been one with God very soon when Messiah will be revealed to all the inner essence of a mitzvah will be as well we will look back at our days in exile and see all of our accomplishments and missed opportunities right now there's an extremely unique Mitzvah that is incumbent on every single individual and that is to demand a revelation of God and may we see the physical effect of this Mitzvah with Messiah now [Music]
