[Music] when the pun of ajarov was appointed rather of the town of panavish he began a revolution an educational transformation and he turned the town into an ear of aimbi israel a crown jewel of the jewish people with an educational infrastructure educational infrastructure with thousands and thousands of young boys and girls and teenagers and a basement rich and a yeshiva it was really it was something very special yet with his hat and his success came the winds of secularism the majority of the people in the town of panavis were not necessarily tyrant true jews and they threatened him that if he didn't implement secular education in a substantial way in his institutions they were the majority and they would vote him out as the rev instead they would find a much more modern rabbi and it would be a hundred times worse than if he just compromised and and implemented some level of secular studies in the curriculum the panavision of was very torn on one hand he wanted to retain his position he had he had implemented such incredible change on the other hand he was not willing to compromise on the purity of higher education so he went to his rebbe the hafetzheim to ask him for advice heim turned to the puna vijayrav and he said to him when there's a civil war those that support the red flag and those that support the white flag if you're a typical citizen what do you do panavision rev says you lay low and you don't take sides you don't know who's going to win so you wait till the winds blow over and whoever wins wins and you have no choice what happens says the time if the municipality those that are involved force you to put a flag up to show your allegiance what do you do then so panaviziourev said i guess you decide which one of them is more likely to win which one is stronger and then you put up their flag correct said so how does that apply to your situation so panavis rev says i guess i go with the stronger with the majority and i have to compromise you didn't understand what i was saying he says of course the secularists are the majority and yes maybe they think they have the power to vote you out but the stronger side is the side of the rabbi shalom the stronger side is the one that has the purity of go back to your town and put up your flag and join the battle panaviziorev went back he met with the secularists and he said to them i am not willing to compromise one iota you want to try to vote me out well i'm okay let's have war and all-out war they were very taken aback by a strong stance they said no we didn't mean it we were just advising you and the purity of tarakhena in the town of panavish continued to endure and to prosper an incredible story that is more timeless today than ever may the rabbinicialism ensure that the purity of tara continue to preserve and persevere and may be the future of cloud users
