One's Role in Life - Rabbi Shmuel Bloom

[Music] it's all about changing your minds thinking introspection you've heard so much today let's take it internally and let's think if that can make some difference in my life and some difference in the way I think so let's start by asking why you here I don't mean why you're here nurse Sameach phone she busts of attalos wonderful speakers interesting something to learn from but why are we here in this world we have certain number of years we don't know how many 50 60 70 80 90 100 years that were placed in this world with a job to do and I'm not talking about why I cut the growth created the world that but philosophers talk I've cut the spark of the BCS he sure a microscope created the world because he wanted to who good how cat tovahleh hate it if a person was left in the world alone with everything in the world except people what would he be missing he would have everything you want the gold silver foods cars planes but if there are no people he would have another one to share it with I want to give to a person who is good wants to do good Hakodesh burrow who is hurt over amazes a college boy who is the ultimate of good and a college poor who wanted to have somebody or something that he could create that he could do good for for good to to and he realized though that there's the concept of nama Dickie Sutphen shameful bread person doesn't like charity he can't take charity so he had to give us an opportunity to work for us so he created this world where we had the CEO knows we have tests life as a test and we have to see how we're going to pass the test and then when we do pass the test I cut this burger who when we complete our life I cut this borough who brings us back and then can give us the ultimate good but that's talking about why I cut this part created what's your job what are you have to do in this world but one person would say have to learn turn I do have to learn I cut this Brooklyn's terror after coach grows meaning other probes had to mitzvos after depress it things that have to do in this world so let's look in remission I'm with Satine the nefesh are fine he says the purpose of man is this world is lit tacking is coal habría to improve to fix the entire world you think I'm a similar note I learn my terror I don't want to have to do I've got my hesed from Ishikawa South who says that's not enough relation heimlich Sadler says that each one of us has the responsibility to change the world to complete the world to be an ovation to serve icons powerful I was having problems when I thought that had to learn terribly like to do mitzvahs now you tell me that I have to change the whole world I have to complete the whole what do you want from me but the answer is you have to change the world you have to correct and complete the world but not by yourself you have partners we work together as a team as a team all of Caillou's roll the coin does something different than leaving the lady that's different than the Asura and each one of us has to do our share but there's an important distinction we have to do our share there's a difference between a pal a worker and a slave the two of them can work together the same company the worker works hard all day the slave works hard all day at the end of the day is a big difference the worker wants his paycheck at the end of the day he's working for himself the evidence laid is working for his missed how colors for who wants us and created us not to work for ourselves not to learn Tura because i'm going to be a toma talking because i have to be at all motion not to learn terror well not to do mitzvahs because i want to come to all of my board to the world to come and i want to have this whole pack of Mitzvahs i have to learn turtle because terrorists to be learned and there's a major difference is actual shiloh a person is walking down the street two people walking down the street and a poor man comes out with him to them and says please I need a hundred dollars one person looks in his pocket Cici doesn't have any money the other person has a big wad of bills the person who doesn't have any money is the one who wants to give the person who has the big wad of bills would rather not so the one without the money says to the person who has the money you know I know this fellow he really needs it I think you should give him $100 and the one with the money thinks about it you know you said I should do it okay I'll take $100 and I'll give it to the person who has done the great a mitzvah who gets the greater scar who gets the greater reward if we're workers then the one who gave $100 did the job the one who spoke about it did not but if we're a volume and our goal is that the job should be done then the person who convinced the other person to give the money is really the one who got the job done and it's tomorrow and bah-bah-bah sir on rabbul izza goggle ha MA I said yo son Elsa and it's passed in the shop owner ensure America says the one who causes somebody else to give money gets greater sky than the person who gave it why should that be because our job is not to be work is that what I learned I gained I did I could there's a borough whose world that I have to fix I have to see that it's done Robbie lays olivine supreme love Rocco is the chief rabbi of Detroit's for 150 years his son were by varam fine Levine's remember the Mets clear that Tara's are Sheila tell Chicago when Robert Levine was a young man he learned in the rabbinic she by the huffed I'm huffin Stein came over to Robert Levine to Ennis Caruso as they were sitting alone in the basement tough time themselves came over to them and said to Robert Levine's Caruso that there's a problem in a community and they need somebody to go to explain to them the right way to go what to do and I want you to go and Robert Levine's Caruso said up in the middle of a difficult tasteless I'm spending my time I've spent the list they are to I really want to stay here and be able to learn and to understand the ptosis and Robert Levine said testimony said hey this that the Hough it's hyeme said to him if you don't go your taste fish is Darnley the variance it's worth nothing because we have to think not what we can do or how we can do it not as workers as Pollan who are interested in themselves we have to think what does the rebellion want and what's best for him now you think you lose the tightest so you won't be able to learn the ptosis let me tell you personal story I was young man learning in Kyllo yeshiva snare Cyril in Baltimore and I was learning

reboot so peddlers Burke says something very interesting reversal feathers Burke says that when you do kirov when you work to be Mikado Shan Shan I mean it's different than when you do your own it's because you don't do your own mitzvot something happens you can use your space use up your reward but if you make somebody else doing it he says that cannot be taken away in explains that fill wash em the opposite of kiddush Hashem there is no punishment on this world that can be given fulfill Hashem the only thing is you have to die only death kiddush Hashem he says is the opposite all of Obama's

you ever move from one apartment to another so he says yes he says you have nothing to worry about but I'm gonna present a different answer if you see to it that somebody else became a show material missus if you cave changed somebody else's life in that way you have nothing to worry about your LM hot boys guaranteed I was a young man I was in st. Louis I was the executive director of the Shiva and that time it was after the Vietnam War there was still a drift in the United States and somebody came to me or wealthy individual supporter of the Shiva and he said he had a son and his son is a little bit off the Dara he's not really interested in learning but I'd like you to register in the yeshiva so he doesn't have to go to the drift and I said I can't do that went back and forth I said I'll tell you what the college is twelve hours of learning twelve hours of studies a week is to sit a full-time doesn't have to come to your Sheila full time but he has to twelve hours a week except that come twelve hours a week and a learn then we'll register him leave you and we did and he learned and instead of going off the Dara he's still learning in Mira Shiva seven children all marriage Kananga her with maybe forth and so on if I would have given in and saved enough to come to the Shiva a whole family would be lost I'm guaranteed my Allah my book that itself that one action means that I have guaranteed my Mayola mother but how can I do it I don't know how to do it I don't know what to do our labor I see rabbi godly peer and race speaks if someone's a beautiful he's able to convince people and talk but me how can I do that that's why you're like Ola was created or like God was created to give young men the tools to be able to fulfill their role in this world not to live for oneself not to be a poet not to be a worker but to work to be I bought them in buckos for slaves by covers both we do that then we will be successful I could this girl will say let's EQ sanction [Music] you [Applause]
