your children or the children told her over to the parents where I was listening to this can say the story for Seder there was a fellow who used to raise money for his organization he's to go around the whole world and among going in the world he used to go to France and he had certain people that he called up certain people that he visited every year and they gave him a nice donation and one

gave him a place where he could work with a phone that he can make those phone calls to make the region arrange the meetings and he said take it easy rabbit I'll be next door if you need anything please call me the fellow started looking around the room he was sitting in the nice beautiful dining room of this wealthy fella and he was walking around looking at the room that he saw and the breakfront where you have knickknacks on the ideas silver and you have your nice fine things he saw a few shards of goiás broken glass from it seemed like it was from a bottle that were broken they were clean but they were laying on the shelf and then he couldn't understand and as he was looking the owner of them came in rabbi I had bet you're wondering where that glass come from yes what is that all about yeah boy you have time for his story sit down and he told him the following story he said when I was 17 years I grew up in Holland and a wonderful family and I went to yeshiva I was a good you Sheva student I was very very observant of all the Torah and mitzvot and one day my grandfather called up he had a store here in France he had a store and he needed my help and it was the end of the school year the years my parents would you mind if your son comes to help me with the store I'm getting older sure let him go for the summer in love a good time I went to this summer to help out in the store and I fell in love with it it was such good work and I was good with it that historic business was booming and after a summer my grandfather's me please could you stay on I talked to my parents and they decided to stay on but the eights are the evil person inside of me that gets me to do wrong things he's a smart guy and I was busy and I was busy in the store too father my grandfather stopped going to the store altogether and I took over the whole store one night I had a customer coming very late with a big bill he was coming to buy and I couldn't leave the store early enough to go pray our bit to pray Marv with him in yeah it was the first time I used to remember like yesterday I forgot and I didn't pray with him in yet and little by little that was the way of my life I stopped going to mignon and soon I stopped praying hard beat all together was I was so tired and soon I had to go to work very early and little by little by little I could fell away from being an observant Jew I was there in this rice to live here I stayed here for years and then when I was 22 I married a local girl here from France but also not religious and my religion was completely gone one night in December I was walking home around five o'clock it was getting darker and he was December I was walking home from the store to my house and I saw up ahead of me a bunch of boys on the floor with one fellow laying on the on the ground the little boy crying and I went over I thought maybe they're bullying it with everything and one of us what's the matter and they told me look I saw on the ground a bottle of oil that was broken was shattered and the boy was screaming what am I going to tell my father what am I gonna tell my father what am I gonna tell him the boy's father saved up money they weren't wealth he saved the money to buy the olive oil because that night was Hanukkah and he broke the bottle he was playing ball and I fell over and it broke and it's crying he doesn't know what is it fellas father right away I so calm little boy reached out I picked him up and it took him in my hand let's come we'll go to the store I'll buy you a bottle he could not believe he was so happy and so smiley was so excited I bought him a bottle he walked on the smiley ass boy over sofa Funicello and as I was walking on IPS the place where the bottle was on the ground and I looked at the glass and I said to myself how can I even forget that it's Hanukkah did I forget even if I give what am I gonna tell my father what am I gonna tell my father when I come upstairs to heaven what am I gonna tell him I was brought up I knew about it and I felt so bad and I picked up the quiz to remind me and I came home and my wife is looking at me what are you taking this glares on but I washed that in the sink and I put it in the breakfront and then I went upstairs and I dug out some candles from Shabbat and I set it up in a Shabbos candle holder and I lit one candle and if you remember the brothers three brothels you make I remember I can't believe I said the three brothers of my families looking at me what am i doing and my son's wife but I did it and every night for the rest of that week I lit a candle for Hanukkah and my children started asking and my wife started asking and little by little we started learning and we came back at today as you see we're a fully observant family why because of that little boy who called out what am I going to tell my father so I saved those pieces of glitz to remind me always that a small little thing can bring you back to Torah we - we could drift off we could forget things we brought up certain ways or we're not brought up certain ways but things can let us astray yeah we could forget about Torah we forget about mitzvahs are coming now that if I get better a small little statement can bring me back all the way a sham should help us to remember our ancestors our great-grandparents how they celebrated pesticide how people in the Holocaust celebrated pest luck even though they had a hard time and we have an easier time even though this gets a little difficult we pray to our Shem please help us that we should
