we don't need to get ourselves nothing
other than and if a person does not use
the gifts that who gave him or her to
constantly fear not
having that person is the poorest person
on planet Earth even if their bank
account says billions of
dollars there was a um sadik about 100
years ago a little over 100 years ago 50
years ago maybe
named konus Zev
woski konus Zev wski was a learned
in and uh later on he went on to
business and hasem gave him a lot of
success sh gave him success in
business and uh he noticed that uh there
was a shortage in uh certain products in
the Jewish world and he saw that there's
no koser for
p in Jewish World in Russia so what did
he do he says okay let me get in let me
use the success to uh not only donate
money to yes not only to do good things
but also to help the Jewish people have
given them products that they need and
he went into the tea business and he
went into the tea business and hashm
gave him an extraordinary amount of
success and until this day you see his
uh tea products wasoski products in the
Jewish world and worldwide
where this uh tea is a very popular and
uh now the question is why give vosi
such success that until this day over
100 years later you still see his
products out there you still see the the
success
why perhaps there was a whole list of
good things that he did in his life but
all of those good things can be
personified in this
story Roski used his money to show his
to express his love of Tora and he
donated to a lot
of but he had a special
relationship with the
sa something out of this world so much
so that everybody knew there was a
difference one
time came Toki and asked him for
donation for Andi went back and forth
with him who what when how
much said to him I don't understand we
learned Torah and we ask you for
donation and every time I ask you for
donation we go back and forth and
arguing how much and who and what and
when but when theal comes
here everybody
knows not only gives you give him a
check and you tell him write whatever
amount you want we I don't understand
what's the difference he learns T we
learn T he teaches to we teach to why
you give him so much
morei says to him
theki says to him says
listen all
the that come to me they give me a lot
of Honor a lot of
respect why cuz I have a lot of money
and they want me to donate and they
respect me because of the money that I
had sure we're friendly with this with
that but in reality a special type of
respect that I get because of how much
money I
have so now because they give me so much
respect for my money they remind me how
much I can do with this money and they
remind me how much I like the money that
I have that I don't really want to give
it away
because it's so good why should I give
it away so you know it's hard for me to
give them a lot so I give but when
sabalo comes to
me first and foremost he doesn't look at
me the same way as everybody else he
comes into my house after a long trip
there's mud on his shoes he doesn't care
about the mud on his shoes in the house
in the fancy or anything soon as he gets
into the house he screaming Wiki wasoski
money money wasoski what we going to do
with your all you have is money where's
your withi where's your what are we
going to do with all this
money and the saalo comes to me and he
starts telling me how much of a problem
I have that I still have money that I
haven't used to publicize T to help do
to
help all I have is money that is going
to stay in this world I don't have
enough for what am I going to do and he
reminds me how the money that I have is
simply a tool a gift that gave me in
order for me to enter it's not to go buy
more cars and helicopters and and all
types of things it's for me to buy to
help myself get
TOA and if I don't use the right way I
don't
havea what what value does this money
actually have if I don't have that's
what the saalo comes and reminds me he
makes me realize this money that I have
is not worth anything if I don't have a
lot of people think that because they
have money because they donate a th000
50,000 100,000 oh they're they're okay
they don't realize it's all relative if
you have a lot and there's not a lot in
the Torah world there's not a lot good
that you're doing with it you have a
very serious problem the says that the
people that will get the most amount of
punishment are people that are
successful and have a lot of money and
did not use that money effectively to
publicize more toah people think they're
doing the rabbis a favor they're doing
us a favor because they're donating a
few dollars they don't realize
everything is for themselves because is
going to give
anyway a person that's giving is giving
for
themselves that knew a lot of T
understood this clearly but he still
needed the to remind him and he says
that when the sa comes to me I know he's
not taking a penny to himself I know
he's not using it for himself he's
simply coming because he feels bad for
me he feels bad for me and he wants to
come help me he wants to come help me
get to so after I I get this reminder to
shock I just give him a check I said
please just write whatever amount you
need for the whatever you need so I
could at least have a chance to go
to this
is this is not just knowledge that who
exist and we believe in him and we have
faith in him and and we have in him and
we fear no no this
is through the gift that gave you what
happens a lot of times is that people
get a certain gift shows them a way to
use their gift in an effective way they
start
good but then the comes and tries to
steer them in a different direction they
start helping but then the yet tries to
steer them in a different direction they
start doing something positive then the
yet starts to steer them in a different
direction how could we run away from
this the constant fear of the almighty
that we need to get ourselves we don't
need to get ourselves notoriety we don't
need to get ourselves fans we don't need
to get ourselves people to like us we
don't need to get ourselves more
material we don't need to get ourselves
more popularity we don't need to get
ourselves nothing other than and if a
person does not use the gifts that a
gave him or her to constantly fear not
havinga that person is the poorest
person on planet Earth even if their
bank account says billions of dollars
and that's one of the reasons why the sa
with certain people he would talk this
way and you would tell them what do you
have you have only money other times you
would come to people and you would say
to them and say but don't you wanna
don't you want to talk about money goes
no no no let's just talk about Tora what
doesn't need money for a
70 says to
him says that everybody
knows what the and the do on the day of
their but woe to the one who speaks
about it meaning that of course you know
I need more money to do more K to build
more T to do all good things but why do
we need to talk about it why doesn't it
just come out from you that you want it
that you need it why don't you realize
that it's for your sake not for me with
some people that's the way would talk to
them with other people literally would
cry with them the key is for us to learn
from these stories and yearn to have
real and that way we can not only live
but we can live with a
purpose may be his will that each and
every single one of us listen to the
laws yearn for with such a way that when
it comes to fighting idolatry or
fighting our own yet or anything that's
against AEM we will do it with joy we
will do it with Sim even if that means
it's a war against all types of things
that are out there that are against hem
because when you're serving AEM with
there's nothing in the world that's
greater than
that amen amen
