Looking for a Segulah? Daven! Part 2: How to Take no for an Answer by Rabbi Yitzchak Feigenbaum

we reviewed last week for those that just the recording just started you uh you can go back to last week's class the question today is God clearly seems to say no all of us have been in situations where God says no how do we understand that we're doing R desla we're talking about mule he spoke mule mule is all the things that God Pours Down On You winning lottery tickets trucks that run you over right uh having grown up in in warsa the 30s growing up in in May sharim God pours your life situation on you we always assume whatever is going on you can change it my daughter was born at quadan was her ma I was born not a quadr pogan I was born with no Mass skills but with speaking skills and other people were born in Spain right before the Inquisition can you change it weum yeah you do you doing it'll make you healthier he'll make you wealthier you don't have children D you'll get to have children D he quotes to contradictory goris one gor is Crystal Clear one opinion says crystal clear crystal clear how much money you have how long you going to live all that does not depend on your exclusive doesn't depend on your good deeds does it depend on you were born with it that's what it is deal with it it's the way it is another P says no all depends on your exclusive all depends on your mitos what so what's the scoop he quotes a terrifying seemingly terrifying gar Rebel P happing he's poor poverty stricken his whole life from P one the greatest sages and God tells him you're not I'm not again I'm not going to give it to you it's your maale that's the way you you were created in that life situation you want it to be different I'd have to destroy the world to start all over again that's your maile deal with it just deal with it what I thought you could always do it listen carefully my friends say Des based on gamor based on aoha we're not doing sources today there's two different types of mazow there's two different types of things that God pours on you one is called maal elone You're overarching maal and that's not changeable that's set up before you're born before you're born it was set up this is what you're going to deal with go for it it's your job make the right decisions it's your test that you're you're gonna be the somebody gotta be if nobody would ever be sick nobody could do B your clothing you're it at age 42 you're gonna come down with cancer you're going to be in hospital for seven weeks and put a smile on your face and make a kid shash told the nurses or not free will the community will hopefully rally around and help you or they'll be self-absorbed and disgusting and they'll get a that's that's G be it and if that's your overarching maal that's not just your job that's what you're there for somebody gotta be sick somebody gotta be rich nobody would Rich who would be tested with giving somebody gotta be rich and somebody got to be poor my asked my daughter said somebody got to be in the wheelchair if nobody was in a wheelchair how would anybody have the job of pushing the nbook in the wheelchair I got the job of being in the wheelchair somebody all got the job of being not the wheeler it's your job it's your job some things that be called mazal it's God pours it to you but it's t it's a secondary meaning it's not set in stone it's not set in stone that'll waver depending on on how you're do it you you you're making right decisions God can make your life easier you're making decisions go God can make your life harder so rebelar and pust when he said Hashem I'm poor I'm poor so much I'm poor poor why can't I have money please give me a perosa give me some money I'm poor I'm living off a charity my whole life God spoke to him and said that's your job that's your mazal ELO that's your you were put on this Earth to be the poor guy it wasn't like a temporary let's see if you're good or bad will start you poor but if you're a good person I'll give you money that was the other guy that's your next door neighbor what's his job a different job your job is to be the poor guy that people give sedu to or don't give sedu to you can't change that that that's what you're here for that's what you're here for therefore you keep on asking for money the answer is go this your job to somebody else they ask for money oh you're AIC you're giving I'll give you more money your job is not to be the poor person I'm starting you off in one area and we'll see how it goes what's that guy's job I don't know maybe that guy's job is to be the one who I don't know who falls down a flight of stairs at age 32 and is in the hospital for six weeks and and and people come visit maybe his job is to be the guy that wins the lottery suddenly and becomes overnight a bill bazillionaire and how will he handle that there's a lot of different jobs we need we need people who who who who go bankrupt will the community help them people who win insane amounts of money will it go to their head or not people who are sick people who are healthy we need a lot of different things we need people to live in a lot of different eras we need people to me suffer it's childlessness you know for a long time and people have a bunch of K we not a lot of different people so s d if what you're doing for is a maal ELO issue you were put on this Earth to L to to live till age 57 years six months two weeks four days three hours and 12 seconds if that's your musle OT if that was set in stone before you were born then that's it you could be the biggest Sonic G to be the biggest Russia you're not going to die earlier and you ain't going to die later that's what's going to be because that's what you were put here for because that's what God decided is the best thing for reason which we will never understand until Messiah comes and they for ding can't to make a difference they have a set stone and the other hand if you were put in this earth we're gonna start with 60 years and let's see how she does oh well she's good oh give more years man she's great Superstar she stinks forget it that's it we're done with her man oh right that's what it is hline so do we ever know do we ever know if what we're doting for is like it's just your job it's not GNA change my daughter's 38 I'm gonna guess that she's been doting a lot that she should I Okay I accept the job of being the the neth in the wheelchair but like how about the like job of overnight miraculously becomes healthy that that that would be cool huh s for God has said no will he say yes tomorrow because one more scho maybe is it her overarching job is gotting say sweet pie just deal with it that that that's that's that's your job you're doing great that's the way it is just let it go right we don't know we never know so we D it if it's a changeable job so we dbe one more one more BR one more you know Penny to Sedaka and that'll tip the scales and Shaz and maybe like reth it's your job and nothing you can do about it but it's bu but we don't know I mean unless God talks to you like he talks to reth pus if by the way you think God talks to you you may want to get professional he right God spe and he said listen you know bu CH for something else so what happens to the fos and what if you're talk asking for something which is unfortunately unchangeable that's the it man to suck it up deal with it so it goes for other things I can't give you what you're asking for that's your job but I can change other things I can make you healthier I can make you other things I can give you nothing of here I I can do a lot of stuff for you to make your life a lot easier I can't give you that because that's your job that's your Nyle that's your task that's your struggle that's your struggle the other person has their struggle that's your struggle I I can't I give you other stuff and com words I'll give you all every time you D it's a Mitzvah so you give more well it didn't help to change X okay but but but you get all it's not a bad thing you know that's how we deal with there Ma and Ma so we D we D for all the we D for all the and we D for all the s that we had and we D for all we D for all the people in are finally waking up to realize that they're you I'm the sest place on the planet right we we D in for body we hope that every has Yeshua we but and and and and what if it didn't help it's quite possible we did that the best we could but you know if if it's their job if death was set from beginning of creation that in this year at this time this Nisha that's what they're going to be dealing with and that's how it's going to be for whatever calculations God has which we will never understand because we're just stupid humans that's the calculation doesn't mean we didn't dive them goodle re better than anybody on this year Why didn't it help that was the job this is the way it is right that's how we deal with that KB who says no if we honestly believe we did the best we could we D we did missive we help SP has this plan doesn't mean we didn't D in well some plans are just not changeable some plans are and we do it and we hope for the best now do remember I said I wanted to we're going to do a little bit of Tila let's do two more of bros oh I need I need to share my screen can I share my screen I did get share my screen oh no I can't share my screen what happened okay you should be able to share your screen ah okay hang on two seconds let me just find it VA here we go two more bras and then we're gonna end because the next ones are hard ones last week we did let's do the next two are the source of everything and I want to thank you for the following these are 15 thank yous as we said the second thank you is Shalo that you did not create me a member of another Nation what do you mean not me is another Nation see they have to go through an entire process if they want to join the chosen people people I was given that as a gift at Birth the best thing ever I get 13 minut yay is This Racist we were part of the chosen people I I know a lot of really nice non-jews and there's some like really not so great Jews understand what it means that we're the abula we're God's special treasure it doesn't mean that we are better simply put it means that we have the potential to get closer to a than someone who doesn't have such a Nisha some people are born with such a Nama therefore they have this wonderful great potential but of course potential to be great runs the risk of bad decisions and potential to be horrible other people were not born with such an a they were born non-jews if they want to have this opportunity they could join but they got to pay the price 613 M expensive to join but they can join it's not racist that's ridiculous right and it doesn't mean Jews are automatically nice people we have free will Jews can choose to be rotten people and Chev Miss s Noah hide laws non-jews have place in the world to come absolutely keep the keep the seven go to Heavens bumper sticker on a car Toronto absolutely absolutely thank you seven go to heaven right just we have a greater potential and we're thanking Hashem it's not like oh bad luck I was born Jewish and I have to do 613 mitos it's thank you that I've been given as a gift without any effort on my part I was given the gift of 63 MS folks what if you don't Fe as a gift what if you wish you weren't born this way bad luck I wish I wouldn't have been born Jewish I certainly wouldn't have converted because of bugs the heck out of me then you got to figure out that's a problem any better Jewish Education you got to think it R but it is a gift in today's day and age when we see the morality of the world out there we understand the power of the Nish that we were given but is it racist know anybody who wants can join similar concept thank you you did not create me as a slave what do you mean you didn't create me as a slave rather I'm free to make my own choices thank you Hashem that I have the ability to choose I'm not being controlled by anybody I make my own decisions I'm responsible for them and because I can make my own decisions I can earn reward I could mess up but it's a death it's not like we don't wish we were slaves and just we we we we this BR out shal Ed is a gift of that I have free will and I can make my own free choices it's a great respons abbility many times kids just sort of wish like i' you know I'd just rather do what you do graduating high school it's scary because now you got to figure out what you're GNA do every day when you're in high school you have a set routine Free Will is a gift and we thank Hashem for it because it gives us the opportunity to make good choices and bad but the opportunity to make good choices is such a great gift that we thank hash in the morning it's not like oh bummer I have free will so I guess I'm going to have to suck it up and do it right but oh thank you Hashem I have a special Nisha and I have a wonderful gift of Free Will so many other people if they would want they'd have to go through a whole conversion process I got it as on a silver platter thank you very much that's that next week we'll deal with a very difficult the learning should be a for all people everybody everywhere that needs yeshua's and again thank you to the OU for putting this all together t to the mitz have a wonderful day Wherever You Are
