Pre-Yom Kippur Evening of Chizuk - Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com good evening welcome with uh appreciation to the murder astro by welcher and the kahila for lending us the space it's an honor and privilege to welcome you all brushos the rabbana and the rabbeim of our talmidim who are here for avi mairi but we have introduction i'd like to share a story i heard many years ago beyond rosh hashida yeshiva in london early 20th century it's during the series shiva and as you can imagine in a series yeshiva things are rather intense in the days leading up to the young kid between rosh hashanah leading up to yom kippur the the davening maybe a little extra kavanagh learning with a little extra small they're really really putting extra elbow grease into their avodah hashem and some of the bucharam came to rebellion they said i don't understand you look out in the street and people are going about their business like tomorrow is just a regular day but we who in general spend so much time learning we're the ones who are taking this so seriously it seems a little imbalanced sir elliot understands their their point and he offers the following anecdote from his own youth to explain it he says when i was a very young boy i was about four or five years old i was horsing around in my house in the kitchen and i accidentally knocked over a glass and the glass fell on the floor and broke and what was perhaps a bit of an understatement my mother was very unhappy with me she was unhappy with my behavior and she let me know maybe he got a little bit of a zetz he he's going to remember not to horse around in the kitchen anymore this is a few days later one of the chickens from the backyard somehow gets into the house and it's flapping around the kitchen and knocks over a whole tray of glasses smashes them all over the floor and he tells tell me them i remember thinking to myself oh is that chicken gonna get it and what happened his mother walks over calmly picks up the chicken puts it out into the backyard so i don't get it it's not fair since then when i was a little bit older i realized it's better to be held to a higher level of accountability but to live inside the house srb elliot explains tel men it's true you're held to a higher level of accountability but it's not a burden it's a privilege you live in the house your shift divides hashem being in the house is worth that extra level of accountability that extra level of pressure and i think that resonates with our our slobodka muslim asura the idea of godless holding ourselves to a higher standard we're going to read anyone kipra the abode of kipurim and i was discussing this with one of the grades today very quickly mind you that first the koengado would shecht the put the power which was the khattas for the kohanim and then he would sprinkle the blood and then he would offer the guitars they would come back and there's the ear which is the khattas for claw you're strong and sprinkle the blood and then the torah tells us he has to take the damhapur and the dhammas and he has to mix them together and put them on the carnosa corners and that rashi tells us is what finally affects the kabhara and ramayana shapiro of yeshiva luplin says the lesson here is that you cannot just as the kohingol as the kohanim as the leaders say you know what we know how to handle this kapparo we can look after our own kaphara your kaphora is totally in the kapura of all of claistro it's not enough to look after yourself if your shifty baves hashem if you are being held to this higher standard you have a responsibility beyond your own dollar amounts you have responsibility to the entire cloud this evening we have the privilege of hearing from a speaker who who comes from a a a family that shares this sense of of communal responsibility i was reading that his uh rabbi gladstein's former late grandfather of a mordecai lady gladstein spread torah in his community but not just in the four walls of his base knesses but in his community beyond the the the from community on the jewish community as well robert gladstein himself is a prolific writer and speaker if you own one of his books and you've read the short biography you'll you'll know this if you haven't borrowed hashem you have the opportunity to purchase a book this evening but you'll read that rabbi glastine has over 5000 recorded shiurim that his shirum have been downloaded millions of time and to say nothing of the countless audiences such as ourselves here this evening who had this close to hear his words of torah and his in person so tonight as we prepare for yomaki purim we have this very special opportunity it's very special as a huss and with that i ask for robert gladstein [Music] thank you so much rabbi paxt for the very warm introduction for us and community leaders it's really an honor to be here it's an honor to be in this basic nessus i had the privilege to learn certain halachas from rabbi welcher when i was in yeshiva i did shimosh in cern in january from rebel welcher and i used to come to this basic nessus quite often and i see so many good khawairim rabem so it's really an honor to be here this evening and i wish the yeshiva the men'ahel and all the rabbayim great hatswaka and habraza satira and continuing on the legacy of torah moser abhiyas goyal sadaq one of the most prolific educators of our time someone a very colored personality rabbi beryl wine very interesting personality historian he was a rav he was a rosh hashiva he is a producer a columnist a historian someone who's intro literally influenced thousands and thousands of lives but he's not one to take in the adulation and the fans and he was once in a airport and somebody comes over to everyone and he says rabbi is that is that you and raleigh wine is the last thing he wants to do in an airport is see somebody who's been listening to him i can't believe it rabbi you've changed my life i've read all your books all your articles i've heard thousands of your tapes in my shul alone there are dozens of people that read your book while the rabbi is speaking it's unbelievable and rabbi wine has had enough and the guy is just like not letting him go and he's chasing after him and rabbi appreciated brah and the guy comes running after him as he's about to get onto the plane one last thing rabbi you know behind every great man is an even greater woman please send my best regards to rabbits and friend and rabbi wein looks him in the eye and he says i don't usually travel with her but next time i see her i'll be sure to let her know more of rabbi there are times in life that you could really miss the boat you could blow it and sometimes the repercussions are not there i'll tell you a little story i thought you know with this torah anytime i was looking at some of these statistics and i saw that there were people listening in ireland i was whoa people listening in ireland i can't believe it so i may ask if anyone is listening in ireland me no maybe i don't know me maybe they'll bring me to speak there and somebody messaged me rabbi nobody's listening to you in ireland it's the guy in muncie he has a tech lock filter it's run through the technology in dublin in ireland so nobody's listening in ireland the guy's in in williamsburg and muncie there are times in life you could really blow it you could miss the boat but the repercussions are not really that great but sometimes you can miss the boat and the repercussions are drastic and it can make a difference for all eternity let's begin with a very important question any thinking persons really ought to ask this question and when i tell you ask this question you say oh yeah of course we should have asked this question when you analyze the order of the yom naram it would seem quite out of order let's start with rosh hashanah so what happens on rosh hashanah we stand before the ubanisham he weighs our mitzvos he weighs our varroys and if we have more mitsubishi naveros he'll write us and sign us for a year of good health happiness success parnassa and if khas vishal and we have more averse than mitzvos the gemara says the results won't be that great and then we have 10 days and then comes yom kippur and we do chew on yom kippur and hashem cleanses our nashama's and our souls are cleaned and we get slicha the kaphara and if you think about it for a moment it's out of order it's incongruous it's in a way extremely unfair why judge us and after judging us through some forgives our sin wouldn't it be nicer more kind more reasonable to first forgive our sin cleanse our souls and then we'll be sitting pretty on rosh hashanah with only mitzvahs noah verroys and then we'll be written and sealed for a life a happy year a successful year or you're a paranosa why delay the kaphara until immediately after the judgment first have the kapara and then judge us who asked this question says ravitzula peterburg and the safer khashvayar this is the question of none other than rabiusrael salantar it's backward the whole yum narum it's backward it's not right it's not fair one good question deserves another it's a very interesting observation besides there are four additions we make to the sheman esri in bracha number one we say no melech very good you got it remember us for life good life nice life happy life oh no just plain life second bro what's the difference between and khayim toiven why do we first ask for hayem and only then ask for kai and taivam and i have another question if you don't like this question see it's not much i this bothers me this question this has bothered me my whole life sadikim are done on rosh hashanah when rosh hashanah is over if you're at sadiq you're written and sealed you're finished rishon are written and sealed on yom kippur who's got to worry about yum kippur are written in seldom rosh hashanah who's got to worry about yom kippur bain on him and we like to think a lot of people are bane on them right for some reason we think like almost everyone is a banana we're all bane on him what's the chances please tell me that anybody is a banane i mean what's the likelihood you know the gemara says that if you have more miso than average that's fifty one to forty nine years saturn if you have more aviros than mitsuos or russia that's 51-49 but if you're 50 50 and you're exactly teetering you're abnormally could someone tell me what are the chances that anybody is a banana there are many suggestions about f charlotte some same or ef sherlock some same but basically we say e f charlotte something you can never get something exactly at the same time could do you think it's plausible reasonably likely that anyone is really a bananee either a guy is a good guy or a guy is not a good guy you think there are a lot of banana walking around if i was a betting man i would bet you don't even have one out of 10 000 people who's a bananee and yet for some reason we're like assuming that they're we're all bane in him everyone has a sign on them what's your name i don't know his name but he's a bananee is that really likely is that possible is that plausible someone tell you a story this is one of the most far-fetched stories you'll ever hear if it didn't happen you couldn't have possibly imagined it this the story happened in the city of slutsk the rov in the city of slutsk was the biaco of david wilowski known as the rid vas he wrote a classic commentary on the usami people think he lived like 500 years ago because if you open up or you shall you see on the side the ridwaz the ridwaz was then a rabbi in chicago rabbiacov david wallowski he lived from 1845 to 1912. there was a doctor in the city the doctor was a coifer he did not believe in tairai did not believe in mitsvice and one day he went to the butcher shop it was thursday when's the busiest day of the week for the butcher thursday right before shabbos and it's late in the day on thursday and he overhears the butcher screaming to all the customers get out of here get out of here i i'm closing shop in two minutes either come back tomorrow if you really need the meat come back in an hour i got to get to shu minhas in a few minutes and this really bothered this doctor and he spoke up he said are you out of your mind this is your parnassa for the week thursday night before how could you send away a customer a customer sent away is a customer lost forever so the butcher said look i got and besides i have to worry about oil there's no such thing as so the butcher says back you're right for you there's no such thing as about you're not going to get oil i'm hoping i'm going to have a share in oil in haba so the doctor was really infuriated he said really you think imhaba is so great here i'm willing to give you all of my oil just give me aruba okay i said deal the century here's a ruble and he darts off and he goes to minha 35 years later knocks on the butcher store a well-dressed woman who are you a mrs doctor i'm the almona of the doctor she's looking at her what are you here for i have to ask you have to verify a story my husband passed away a while ago and every night he's coming to me in a dream and he's disturbing me and he's screaming and he's he's tormented he's saying that 35 years ago he sold all his oil to you and he sold it for a ruble he asked me to give you the he for you to give the ruble back and he's going to take the islam he wants to nullify the sale because in oil he has nothing he's an ani evian he has no share in the world to come is there any truth to this just tell me it's not true because i really would have pushed the story out of my mind but every single night he's waking me up he's screaming he's tormented and the guy says yeah i can't believe it i remember the story i bought it for a rubal he said great we're here to make an exchange we're here to make him exchange you give us back the ruble and we'll uh we'll give you back the ruble and you get the oil back she said not a chance not giving i what do i do for a living i'm a butcher what kind of oil mahabharat do i have but if you're telling me your husband lost oil am haba because he sold it to me that's my um i'm not giving back the oil of my boy not a chance i would never give it back for a ruble this was the deal of the century i'm not giving the oil maba back she left the store that night the husband comes to her he's screaming he's tormented he says lady if you don't get back this oil i'm never going to let you sleep again you go to the rug of the city you go to the ridvas and you tell him we're having a din torah you were going to sue the guy we're suing him back for my oil mahaba so what's she going to do she goes to the reverse the reverse his takeoff is to fill in the ladies screaming rabbi i need to get my husband's oil and haba back so we would think you know if somebody came to a rabbi a lady came screaming that she needs her husband's oil back not sure how many rabonim would give audience to such a case the redwater took it very seriously he heard the lady he said this is a very serious issue we're going to convene a court case today regarding the case of the butcher and the doctor and the oil hubba that was sold 35 years ago this is like the biggest story ever to hit slutsk this is the biggest scandal the court the revised is having a court case about oila maba that was sold 35 years ago people couldn't believe it is the rabbi for real he's really having a court case and he hears the time of the woman and he hears the taina of the guy and he says i need to think about it i'll be back in 30 minutes he comes 30 minutes later i have the sock he says this sock has three parts to it and everyone's waiting with baited breath because this guy apparently is waiting at the gates of ganeden waiting somehow to get his oil back says there advaz the first sock is the sale is bottle the sale is not legitimate you can't sell your oil it's not transferable oil is not money money if let's say you owe me five hundred dollars i could say instead of giving it to me give it to someone who i owe it to money is transferable an item is transferable oil is not transferable is the light that your neshama acquires by connecting taco desparco by doing mitzvos it's not something transfer la marshall let's say you go to camp you guys go to camp you go to camp for two months and you're in the mountains and you're playing ball for two months and you're swimming for two months and two months are over and you have a suntan and your muscles are stronger and you're invigorated could you say i am now going to give my my health and well-being to somebody else it's not transferable it became part of who you are the exercise the the oxygen it became part of your entity you can't transfer it to someone else you can't transfer oil everybody breathes the sigh of relief hashem the doctor will get a share in the world to come radwa says the sack has a second part the doctor lost his shear in oil why because hazal say siddhas the righteousness of the sadiq will not save them on the day of his sin say hazal you only get oil if you value you only get oil if you treat it with respect if you disparage it if you look down on it if you are not uh you don't value it then you don't get it it's like having kharata it's like regretting a mitzvah that you did therefore cesar advas this doctor who threw away his for a ruble you can't sell it but he didn't value it so he lost his share in oil people there they're stunned their faces are white and finally the advance says there's one last cause the doctor gets a big share in oil huh yeah the kids hashem that came out of this court case the kid of hashem that came out about this whole discussion that until this dintair and slutsk what's they were words it was a concept did anybody ever think about it did anybody treat it as a reality was anybody worried about it until today everybody just worried about their house in this world their vehicle in this world their clothing in this world but was not something real nobody actually thought about it but because of this court case became a reality to people and who caused this reality this was caused by the butcher this was caused by the doctor the doctor has a great share in the world to come and this is a topic that you could go to shiurim every night of the year and you could hear shurim on every subject from the beginning of shokhanrah to the end of shekhinah and every massachusetts but there's one subject that the doesn't really want anybody to talk about and that is the most important subject in judaism and that is before this world is just a preparation for the real world for oil and the question is how much do we value alam ravruderman rashiva of nari whenever he would speak at a pity in haben so what happens at epidemin the father of the firstborn he gives the cayenne five silver shackle and the father gives the kind five silver shekel and the coin asks the father what's got to be the quintessential rhetorical question he asked the father dad my ba is faith what do you want more bin you want you're a kid or you want the five shekau now i don't think anyone any father in the history of the world told the kind you know what you keep the kid and i'll take the money at least not by the first kid but but revuderman would say that this question a mai bostfei what do you want more this is not an isolated question this is not a one-time question this is a question that reverberates to every single decision that we ever make in life anything we have to do anything we have to decide all boils down to one question my bae is faith what are you more interested in which world are you more interested in when a person decides how many hours to spend at work they're making a decision my best faith which world do they want more this world or the world to come when a person makes a decision where do i go on vacation they're making a decision which world do i want more this world or the world to come when a person has to decide what kind of technology am i going to allow my family to access they're making a decision which world am i interested in and rav ruderman would say every choice we make in this world boils down to one nakuda my boys faye what are you more interested in which world is more important so you say i have a great idea what about both of them why can't i have both worlds what's wrong with oil mazda and i'm here already i might as well enjoy it i might as well enjoy my food i might as well enjoy my home i might as well enjoy my car and the answer is absolutely enjoy every blessing that ubuntu gives you enjoy your family enjoy your meals enjoy your shabbos enjoy your car but it the question is as follows which world are you after which world do you love says the javascript the same way you cannot combine in one vessel water and fire cache you cannot put into one person the love of this world and the love of the world to come that's the decision we all have to make which world do you love so we had a question what's ghayem and what's khaim toivin you know if you ask what's for supper if the answer is chicken then the chicken is probably fresh if the answer is good chicken then it's probably leftovers you know why why do you need to say good chicken is an old chicken good no if you're saying good chicken that means it's probably leftover chicken says the vilna going what is hayam what's life life is real life what's real life real life is life connected and therefore our request at the very beginning we're not asking for this world not at all that's not this world it's not khaim when we say it's who says it's the goyin khal that's what it means many people are thinking oh zach i want to have parnosa i want to have nachas doesn't mean that that's not khayyim is true life that's that's our first request that's our primary request that's what we're focused on and by the way as an afterthought as a secondary request at the end of shmayna essay we say ribonus a little good life is also good a little parnassa a little nachas a little a nice house good things that's khayyim the last two requests of him the first two requests are who's a bananee exactly do you think anyone's a banany you know who's a bananee everyone's a banane you ready for this going what's a banane a banani is someone who's tulimbu aimed him he's suspended what is that where are they where are they suspended where are they hanging you know where they're hanging most people are torn in this world on the one hand we want oil we want breakfast we want lunch we want dinner we want good food we want nice clothing we want a nice house we want money we're being pulled down by oil but on the other hand we want to learn we want a davin we want to come closer and we're being pulled up toilet and almost everybody in this world is a bananee they're telling him they aim them between who isn't who isn't torn who doesn't at some time one islam has and who at other times don't want that's the definition of banana a human being by definition is a banane so what does ubanisham do how does ibanesham pull us out of the category of a bananee says hashem gives us a flavor what oil is so he takes the page out of there's no drinking in oil there's no fighting in oil in by sacros there's no difficulties you know what that day of oil mahabhara is called it's called yamaha purim and hashem brings oil down to us one day a year for us to savor what oil was and then we see staring us in the face and we say banjo that's what i want that's the world i'm interested in that's what i love that's what i want to pursue and the ubuntu elevates us above and beyond the category of banananee and we establish ourselves as sadikim who are interested in the world to come that's the mechanism of yamakipuram says will be so cilantro you know why we're so bothered by the question that the yom naram are out of order you know why it troubles us so much because we think that oil is where it's at we are interested in this world and if you're interested in this world you sort of you scratch your head why is ribbon islam first judging us and then forgiving our awareness but says we saw cilantro this our creation is not about oil hazard it's all about oil mahaba and because life is all about oil mahabhara if three banished them would first say okay everybody get to the show everyone go to shul say what are we doing in shoal we're doing chuva what are we doing two before uh the imagination will say you're doing shiva to cleanse you're in the shamas why do i want to cleanse my shama we must say because it's good for oil am haba if we would start off the year with yom kippur nobody would show up they would say okay anybody who wants seats for you i'm kipper sign here the show would be empty who's interested in yom kippur what do you want your what does yom kippur do for us so you know what three bansham does he slowly brings us into it he reels us in he says everybody come to shul what are we doing show i'm judging you today what are you judging us about i'm judging how much money you're gonna make this year i'm judging how healthy you are i'm judging how much nachas you're gonna have oh that's the language that speaks to us that's relevant to us that talks to us so everyone goes to shul and people start doing shuva and people start thinking about their actions and then the evangel says wake up it ain't about rosh hashanah rosh hashanah is how i got you into the shul now we're ready for the big leagues the big leagues is the day where we prepare for our eternal existence and that is let's take it to the next level why is it called yamakipuram plural it should be called yom kippur you ever think about that question what's yoim haki purim we know we're being atoned but who else what's yoimahaki purim so there are more writes in the darkest hashem judges on yom kippur the em and the mason you ever notice sometimes parents will light a yardside candle on irvium kipper who do they light a yardside candle for for departed relatives why do you light a candle for the part relative the mission brewer says to bring kapoora to the mason people give sadaqa on yom kippur the rama says to be for the masem why do me sin need kaphara you ever wonder about that what do we what do mason need kapar for they what do they do once a person goes on to the next world there's not much they can know not too many bad things they could do you know what we're afraid that while they're buried they elbowed the guy next to hey move over it's getting a little uh cramped over here well what do they do already mason need kaphara what kind of capparo do mesa need you know the statistics show that mason have a very hard time speaking lash and hara very hard to speak lashing hara if what kind of all these men hug him on yom kippur to bring khapara to me what do you mean sunni kampara for so high velocinor had a talmud he wrote many many siffrey moster they're not so popular he wrote an amazing commentary on parque voice so he tells the following story here's a guy this guy he was an er he was an honest jew he davened with a minion three times a day when i say hidavend you know there are different kinds of dominic some people davin and see some people look at their phone every couple of minutes right so that's not really davening that's not fila tifila is to serve hashem with all your heart if you check your phone every couple minutes you're serving hashem with like 63 percent of your heart at most like he didn't even bring a phone into the basement which is the right thing to do and he worked honestly and he was kaveh la toira he was an honest jew and he went up to the oil um ms and they gave him a nice spot in ghanaidhan corner property nice landscaping he got a luxury vehicle in ghaneda and he was set up very nicely in ghanidah and then a year later they say rabid guess what what happened we're giving you a promotion you're moving where am i moving we're giving you a spot enough you're going to get it here in queens you're moving to back garnier back gane then yeah but it's a pain in the neck to move it's a pain in it no here in ghana we take care of all expenses all aggravation we just go like that you'll be in back on a then in no time and that that sports car that you have that's nothing we have a tesla for you in gane then um ilan himself is going to come bring it to your house and you're all set up so what did i do i didn't do anything in the last year he said no you don't understand the guy who sat next to you by shul he stopped bringing his phone to shul because he saw that you stopped bringing your phone to shul and not only that your two grandchildren they worked work honestly this year because they knew you were an honest guy so we're giving you a promotion he said great i'll take it and then a year later yeah this really nice looking malachi knocks on his door and he says to the guy look here you're getting another promotion we're moving you to the hamptons of ganeden and year after year after year he's getting a promotion and his his portfolio is rising and he's moving up and up and up why because even though yeah when he passed away his actions were x y and z but he has residual income and his the effects of his mice sim continue to proliferate and to influence well after he passes on but then there was a different guy this guy nebuch this guy he barely came to shul and he wasn't careful about what he looked at and he wasn't careful about what he talked about and he did not have it together he did not live life the way he was supposed to but you know he did a few good things he gave a lot of money to faris moshe so look we can't take away that so they gave him a little apartment a one-bedroom apartment in harlem of ganeden and he had a lock like he had a lock all his windows and doors at night because there's these really scary looking malachi appearing in the windows but at least he had a place to sleep you know and then a year later a very scary looking angel knocks on the door he say pal we're evicting you from here where am i going we're taking you to a bench in central park uh you don't understand you know how many people they're they're checking their whatsapps during davening because you were busy on the phone supposedly and you know how many people are speaking la shinhara because of the way you spoke about the rov so you're out of here get out of here and he's evicted says yeshua heller a person's actions reverberate well beyond his lifetime a person's actions are infinite they continue to affect and to affect and to affect into effect in fact yeshua heller writes that anybody who wants to have a munna and the torah should get a hold of the following safer the name of the safe is written by rabbi shalom say who if you know little history rabbi viat sasham was the one goddal the israel who defended the ramkhan when the ramkhan had a number of controversies he supported the rambha rabbi v ad sasha he has a very wondrous question you know there's something called tanakh you ever hear of it you know the part of the torah that the prophets and the scriptures there's something called seifer malachim if you look in the book of malachim there's there's a story about a king menasha menasha was a wicked king he introduced avedazar throughout the length and breath of eretz israel and ultimately he did shiva and yet even though his chuvas recorded them the sanhedrin not one word about his chuva is mentioned in sephirah malachim you want to read about menaches chuba you have to look in divrei hayamim haloi davar why would that be why is menasha's tuba recorded in adam surabiya influenced hundreds and thousands of jews to serve aveda and their children and their grandchildren so menasha did shiva so what he did shiva but his actions continued to reverberate they continued to have an impact a ripple effect and there's no taking that back and therefore his chuva was not accepted because so long as your actions continue to produce fruit it doesn't matter that you personally did chuva and therefore in say for malachi his truva was not recorded but with the khurban bay samik dash all the idolaters were murdered and ezra prayed that hashem should bring an end to the sahara dazara so now there are no more ramifications of menasha zavera so now menasha's chuva could be accepted in fact they told us yeshua says say from al-aqhaim was written by yermia in the time of yermia they were still yet sir probably zara so yermia could not write in malachim that menasha did shiva because his actions continued to produce fruit but ezra wrote the rehaim and ezra was ora so ezra could record the chuva of menasha that's six years ago i'll end with this i had the privilege i was invited to a community down south memphis tennessee before there was any khopetskayam in memphis tennessee and you could go over there it's right off the mississippi river you could go to the bass pro shop which is like the seat of the nra you could buy all kinds of uh very interesting place and there's the biggest freestanding elevator in the united states of america you go up to table you could see a big chunk of the mississippi river the highlight of this trip is i met a yid he was in his 90s yahushua kutner and he told me a very moving story he said his father came from warsaw and his mother came from galicia and he grew up in the great depression on the great depression my grandfather my mother's father grew up in the great depression in a in poverty in a tenement department in the bronx you should know in the bronx in the 1930s there were 600 thousand jews you know how many kids went to yeshiva 600 boys went to yeshiva which means the assimilation rate was astronomical people think in america there's great assimilation but not in new york i'm talking new york city and people used to make i don't know a dollar a week a carton of milk was five cents a loaf of bread was two cents a newspaper was a penny people could not even afford a newspaper so this boy said who he was in his 90s when i met him he used to buy ice cream put dry ice on top walk in between the trucks sell ice cream he would make a dollar on a good day and bring it back for to his mother just so they could buy food and he said we were hungry in our bayem in yeshiva and this is one of the only yeshivas in the 30s i'm not going to say the name but there weren't too many yeshivas back then the rabbi and our yeshiva were starving because nobody could pay tuition and the rabine went on strike they couldn't put they couldn't feed their babies our family owed back tuition about a few months six dollars the manager said kutner you and to your two brothers you don't come back with six bucks you don't come back to the yeshiva many boys were sent home any boy who was sent home went to public school any boy who went to public school does not have jewish grandchildren today fact from an orthodox yeshiva in 1930 sent to public school for not paying tuition their descendants are not jewish what are we gonna do mom says to dad dad you have one suit it was an ugly suit but he had one suit with a jacket match the pants go to the pawn shop try to get six bucks for the suit he goes to the pawn shop the guy says six buddha this thing's a piece of junk it is worth three dollars and 37 cents he said i got to get my kids back into yeshiva please i need six that he got six dollars this is one of the most moving experiences in my life he wrote now my brothers and i know what torah meant for our family others were not as fortunate others went veered off ever so slightly and they don't have jewish descendants today my father never had another six dollars to buy back his suit but you know he got back instead he got back generations of bane torah and eurasia all of my great grandchildren are bane torah today because of my father's suit arunachaleian wore eight garments a regular kind wore four garments my family also had big day kahuna and dad sold it for six bucks and that was the best six dollars we ever spent in our life my grandfather grew up in those years in the thirties he had overcome many challenges to remain in al-qaeda very likely the primary cause that kept him as an evidence was he had a grandfather his grandfather was a spirited yid he was a working man a spirited jew what was his influence friday night he sang curry bunn at the table with such his slavas with such passion that the roof would shake and that his slavos entered my grandfather's heart and today he has grandchildren and great grandchildren banaytara i could imagine his grandfather his name was musholim faish so on rosh hashanah they
