This Torah class is brought to you by
tora anytime.com.
Every morning by Ding, we say
after the brus
we ask.
We ask Hashem that he shouldn't put us
through
challenges
and definitely not through embarrassment
and shame.
According to the Balatana,
gehennon is busha.
Gehenn is shame.
We're not physical in shm. What do you
mean the mush is? It's like burning.
You're going to burn in hell, right?
It's burning and fire because we need to
have a mush
to explain what what what is ganam. So
as a metaphor, we say ganamas is fire
hitting but it's not a physical world
over there. So we need to understand the
amount of pain that has as a metaphor as
a mush is how much a body has pain. But
really what is
gehan is bisha
comes up and you see
you see the loving the loving god the
loving being everything and you're like
so embarrassed of yourself. How dare I
do an towards
there's a story of uh
that he was uh he was shunned by many
people in sadikim in his time. Not
everybody understood to his mahalik or
they felt that he's wrong in his
mahalik. Not that they they didn't bash
that he's a sadic but they were against
him. And there was in a different one of
the cities one of the towns and he
always used to talk against all his
life. So you know how people are the the
layman take it to an extreme and they
they take all these kind of between and
they turn it into a
sh. So once was traveling from city to
city and he didn't tell who he was. He's
dressed like a regular like a porper
like a and he came to the town of this
yeid which always used to mamish talk
against
and nobody in that city nobody in that
sh knew that this was in the olden days
when he came to a town he went to the
gaba and shul and after of the gaba used
to clap on the um they say we have two
guests who has room for this guest who
has room so was one of these people
and this y said I have room in my house
and he didn't know it was a Oh, he never
told anybody who he was when he
traveled. He didn't want people to know.
And after a few days that he realized
said this person, the way he dabs the
way he learns up all night, this guy is
a sadic, is not just a regular person.
And they gave him, you know, they took
from him. In a few days, the whole town
like saw that they have a special guest.
It's not just a regular.
And a few days later, another youth came
to town and they said, "You guys, you
know, you have it. You have breast. this
this is this is so this person that was
always bashing all his life he was like
wow he he felt so embarrassed felt like
such a fool like such an like how dare I
talk again he felt his feet and he said
please that I spoke against you and I
was I had no I thought has tattoos and
earrings and what is it called the other
one so
said now I understand my
and passes.
I think the talis brings it a few
different bring this verse from the from
from the bashes
that there was once a ganash said.
Hashem gives revenge and how does he
give?
It seems like Hashem is like this wants
is looking to find us to do something
wrong and and when he catches us he's
going to give us the
nom
how does Hashem givea
he reveals himself to us that is his
how does he give us punishment why does
when you see like wow
and you come up to you see everything
that was done to to you all your
challenges was the greatest gift that
Hashem gave you ever in your life. He
feels like I thought that's ganam
and the bashooj brings a mush there was
a king king and and there was one of the
people that was against him and he was
also was constantly this said the story
said that his said
and this person wanted to do something
against the king and they caught him and
they said they have to hang him they
have to kill him and the king said no no
no I wanted to come work in my chambers
I wanted to come work in this in the
palace so king a guy like this you have
to bring him in and this person started
working for the king. He was first
working in the landscaping. So he got to
know the king a little more and this
person started feeling like and he
started realizing that the king is doing
so much how many people are coming and
he's giving sudukas and different and
then later the king said a few months
later I want him to work in my inner
chambers till he worked in the in the in
the in the palace and he told the king
and he said he felt as well said how
dare I talk against you or pl make a
plot against you. you're such a good
person and the king said now you got
your now you got your uh punishment this
was your punishment to get to see who I
am so obviously
but we every morning
we said don't give us any challenges
anymore
said yes challenges we need to have you
know we grow through challenges and it
it turns us into we are and it makes us
work on our ego and other stuff that we
have but don't give us a challenge
that's also a bazion that's that's too
much that's already gan this world
that is a bazion
all of us sitting in this room and all
the people that was here for shabas
we all shed that that layer also of the
bizian
alone not enough we're dealing with this
challenge with the nion of
of dealing with children that are
mammish in pain, children that are
struggling
with their personal life and with the
yiddish kite and with everything else.
It's just so much pain for us to see
them going through this challenge, their
own challenge.
It's our challenge and it's our bisha
and it's our biz and it's our we had so
much hopes we wanted to have a a certain
place in the community. This is across
the board. It's not just the thing.
Every person belongs to a certain norm,
a certain community, a certain place
where they want to fit in or at least
seem normal. You know, everybody asked
was what is it normal if I do that? What
do they mean to say? Does it fit in with
the rest of everybody else? That's what
it means. It's not normal. Who says
everybody does is normal?
Is it accepted? That's really what the
word normal means. But lamas, we're
humans and we want to fit into wherever
you live. when the Romy dressed like the
Romans
and here comes one of our children and
just puts you out there. And many of us
have children that actually go around
bmouthing us also. This is a triple sign
that many people that were sitting
oneonone with a lot of people throughout
Chabas this is like wa this is next
layer. Not only they they go through
their own pain and we see them going
through their pain and then we have to
go through ours. They still make sure to
tell you my parents abandoned me.
Yeah, it could be true sometimes, but
many times it's not true and it's just
very, very painful regardless.
So, this is our challenge.
Sometimes when it comes to dealing with
a challenge is when we step out of the
challenge and we say, you know what?
Okay, now I'm in this challenge.
Let's say I'm five years from now. I'm
10 years from now. Then the is going to
be over or it's going to be hopefully
eventually many of them. Things
materialize this way or that way. Things
change eventually. Think back of old he
had 10 years ago and 20 years ago and 30
years ago and he had a even a few months
ago certain thing. What's going to be
with it? It worked out at the ends just
like every other exactly I don't know.
I'm not here to give false promises. But
things do move on. I'm long enough
dealing with with parents that have
until I had my own kid, but even before
I'm dealing 16, 17 years with people and
I'm thinking back of so many extreme
cases and boys that came to my house
that made sure to eat when I gave them
hot dogs together with milk and or spray
painted their hair white or and and now
they're beautiful people, you know. They
were beautiful then also, but at least
they found themselves.
Sometimes we need to back up and look at
the outside the at the big picture and
say sees the before and the after. We
just seen now. But sometimes we need to
do that just to help us a deal with the
stress and the pain of this challenge of
this nissan ambiz that we're dealing
with and just gives us a little kayak a
little like you know what this is also
going to end. This is also you know when
we're in pain we think it's all going to
be forever.
It's it it's everything changes.
Everything moves on. So what's our
greatest enemy when we have a challenge?
Time.
Time is pain.
You know what? Hashem created the world
according to
when
he he
compressed himself to create a space
where he created the world. What did he
create? He created the world means time.
that there's such thing as before and
after because before and after the world
everything is
in time things need to happen things
unfold
so when things are unfolding in a very
slow pace
it's very painful so time is very
painful when you climb your finger
a split of a second feels like an hour
and when something goes pleasurable you
have a good moments. It's like, "Wow,
where did the time go?" Even with little
kids, remember I couldn't wait for that.
I have ADHD and I couldn't wait for the
for the 11:00 when the bell is going to
ring. That 15 minutes recess, but from
11 till 11:15 took less than a split of
a second.
Where did the recess go? I don't have
time for nothing. Get back at the class.
The next 15 minutes was 6 hours.
And we know it now also as adults when
you enjoy the moment. When you're on
vacation, it just I can't believe a week
passed. When you're dealing with
problems, a minute is ages.
In pleasure is above time.
Mahaba is above time.
It's endless. It's forever. We can't
even understand. One of the reasons why
we're not running after every minute of
our day to do like because in our human
psyche we can't understand there such
thing as endless pleasure. We don't we
believe it. We understand
our elders from a thousand years are
still sitting
and are still forever. We can't
understand it because in this world as
the bashto have said this tonic to me
there ain't a tonic constant pleasure is
not a pleasure. We need it on, we need
it off, right? If you love chocolate. I
mean, I'm legally diagnosed choahholic.
I know. But you know why I'm choahholic?
Because I don't have it all the time.
You buy me my favorite chocolate cases
and put in my room for the next two
months, I'm not going to look at
chocolate. We only like chocolate
because it's not something you buy every
5 minutes.
Any pleasure that's constant is not a
pleasure. It's a pleasure that we're
breathing.
A person struggles to breathe when they
went through co the different types of
things then suddenly able to breathe.
Ah, thank
we have so much tonic every minute of
every day. We see colors for those of us
who see colors. I have a best friend
that's color blind.
So, I have a tonic that I I don't feel
like I have a tonic because it's there.
It's constant.
Of course, the goal is to get to a place
to to to have a and to have recognition
to to to to be thankful and grateful and
to constantly think and realize
everything that we have. It should be a
tonic, but naturally it's not a tonic.
We have it. I'm able to hear. I'm able
to come. I'm able to go.
Only when we lose something, that's when
unfortunately that that's when we
realize that we have.
So time is a painful thing.
We're always constantly waiting for
something, aren't we? Waiting for
something. We're waiting for hundred
things. Each and every one of us are
waiting now for a thousand things.
I'm waiting for next week for the for
the for for the payment from this and
I'm waiting for that. I'm waiting for my
child to grow up. I'm waiting I should
grow up. I'm waiting for this. We're
always waiting for things.
Waiting for things is is a touch of
ganam is is the waiting.
When a good thing is here, we're not
waiting. We want it. We want the
opposite. We want time to stop right
now. Let it be. We don't want time to
continue. when there's pleasure when
there's pain
but I think I think everybody can
understand this that time is symptom
time is den
is above time happiness and is above
time there's moments of aava you don't
there's no time
is only our enemy only our painful thing
is when something is
having this awareness
we could sometimes us back up and look
at a bird's eye view of our life and
say, you know what, from age zero to age
100, where am I? I'm here. I'm here.
Here. There's still a whole world to go.
This generations,
the world didn't start and end now. And
we try to look at it from the outside of
time a little bit and try to see, you
know what,
as the Toyota says,
done.
He had one child which was he was mute
he was deaf and mute
that's all he had. So the kash is why it
said
and the children of donish
is one child
and his children can imagine how don
felt. He had a child that was not able
to learn. He was not able to talk. He
was not able to do anything. And all his
brothers were
having children and one after was Ben
and he had like eight kids. But the next
para
which is a few hundred years later in
history
set to count don had one of the biggest
out of that don
that kip that he had unfortunate kip got
married somehow and had many children
and he had many children he had the one
of the biggest was done
there's a big picture was very painful
for them but if he stepped out of time
and he said you know
How do we know?
How do we know
when we go through a time
of of embarrassment, ambition, it's so
long? It's an I'm in this para for
years. Two months feels like years. Ask
all of us. We're like everybody feels
old.
But sometimes maybe now even for this
few moments let's say you know what okay
let's say Leonovi comes down to you now
and he says you know what you
your child is going to have his his or
her awakening next year
like Mayor was speaking here yesterday
mayor what's his name
he was he was saying that how his
child turned around like one minute to
the next and certainly advanced many
people over here like where did it come
from? It's a shame by all of us very
soon
but our problem is time and we don't
know what what's what's next but if a
would come around and tell you know
it's going to be till next year this is
what this is what the child needs to go
through this it would be much easier for
us why because you took away time from
you he took away the whole idea of
having to wait and guessing game where
we're heading how long is going to
This is something that it's going to
help us a lot
and then I want to add to this that I
think creating support groups for all of
us in Muny there's a support group and
wherever Gina are living we need to
create support groups and sit with other
people just like we have the shabas if
we could do this every second week for
the men and women together
or at least at the same time the husband
and the wife should be on the same on
the same page. Usually the women are
going to show up more than the men. Men
of they know already or they don't
believe it's a good mahal or whatever it
is it's not going to work. So or
together group men on one side women the
other side or at the same time and by
the same facilitator. If we could create
support groups we need so much of going
through this nan and bizion
there's no other way. How else can we
deal with this?
First of all, the bisha goes down when
you find yourself like right all of us
feel like this. It's already Sunday
morning. We were here with hundreds of
people in the same thing. One of the
subconscious layers that it took down
was the bisha. Oh, how many people
didn't want to come to the shabas? So
shabas before and how many people after
years they still can't break themselves
to come because this is the only thing
they still have in their dignity. They
have enough bish in their community
wherever they live and people their
neighbors are judging them. Why being
car of your daughter? Why you let your
son come in with a tattoo or with his
friends of the Shabas
and they don't understand you and they
don't understand this mahalik and the
bisha that they have but to come for
shabas and still but then coming here is
going to take is going to help that
bisha the opposite you're going to find
some of the most normal successful
healthy people are in this in this room
did this gives us ah I'm normal I'm okay
Hashem gave me an assign of course
there's There there's many different
parts in our brain. one part in our
brain beats you know we beat ourselves
up ah I should have done this I should
have done that we know the guilt part
and then the other parts but these are
just parts but the cycle is that there
is nothing to do with the that we did
and I'm sure all of us could find yeah
that moment when the the manal kicked
out my son and when the my daughter
should have should have would have could
have is the sahara
I've seen people that have done
everything wrong and that children are
healthy leaders in and I've seen people
doing everything right and they had
children going off and
were both raised this is the most
beautiful part the Hashem put it into
them
had to go through this for us
said that they said give us a child like
this. We're going to struggle but for
future generations they shouldn't think
that it has to do with that the parents
weren't doing the right thing.
Abraini himself was a kip. He was a kip
according to his father. His father was
the biggest.
You remember our great-grandfather.
He was the biggest
in the world.
He was preaching not manate isn't the
opposite. What is it called?
And and and he chose the opposite. So we
are children of capes for many
generations.
So when we come to realize there's still
parts in our brain that's going to do
selflame
but that part doesn't have to talk all
day. We'll listen to it once a week.
Yes, I should have. My husband's fault,
my wife's fault, and I should have and I
should have listened and why didn't I
come to Kashi 10 years ago and I should
have I should have and would have. Very
nice. Yeah, learn from it. Yeah, it's
good to learn from the past. But don't
beat yourself up from the past because
it's silly.
We say
mistakes. Who understands? He says me.
Every mistake that you made, Hashem and
Hashem wanted you to make that mistake
because your child had to go through
this what they're going through now.
We are not allowed to beat ourselves in
in a thinking moment. We're not allowed
to beat ourselves up for doing mistakes.
Mistake in business and lose that a few
hundred,000.
He wanted you to make a mistake in he
wanted you to make a mistake
that a person wakes up in the morning
they have to say what do I need to do
today I'm going to do this business
everything in our life for our health
we're going to go to the gym and we're
going to take care of and everything
that we we're going to do everything we
can today before you go to sleep you
have to everything is up to me today
whatever I'm doing that's that's that's
going to be
says the bash before you go to sleep at
night. Everything that I did today,
everything that happened to me today,
Hashem did it
in the morning. You have to know I have
before the fact you have after the fact.
You should know you had zero. It's
exactly the way Hashem wanted it to be.
How that works is a conversation for 6
hours, not for now. But this is what the
Basham wanted us to understand.
Retroactively, everything that happened
to us, every decision that we made,
every we did was
we only have before something happens
after we have zero.
It's complicated how it works. And the
answer to that is it's it's it's like
Anything
that has to do with time, we are in a
time frame. Our brain works there before
and after.
We're in Simpson. We're still in a place
where there's time. So, we can't
understand something above time. It's an
above time concept.
Hashem knows what we're going to do
before we do it. And then we still have
how does it work? We are in time frame.
We cannot understand something above
time. It's a time issue.
Every computer in the world has a clock.
It cannot work otherwise. If you hack
the watch, the clock in a computer,
everything is deleted because everything
it it remembers is when it was put in,
which date to which hour. So, you put in
this folder and that folder. But if it
doesn't have time is this picture to be
remembered or not to be remembered. The
only way the memory works in a computer
because it has a time. Even if you
unblock a computer for the longest time
that there's a tiny battery and the
watch the clock is still working
and that's how our brain works.
So it's again has to do something with
time. So is before something happens. Of
course we have to sit here and learn
chabas and try to pick up as many ideas
as we can and try to but after the fact
if you blame yourself you're being very
human. But it's coming from a har
perspective. Yet perspective is I am
great. I'm a good parent. I'm a good
person. I tried my best. If this
happened, this is what Hashem wanted it
to be.
And this is probably the greatest
struggle that all of us have because we
went to we went to yeshiva when we grew
up and we were told that all your
actions is up to you. You have right. We
came in this world to choose. And then
suddenly you have a child and you say
this child has no choice. This child is
a trauma victim. Right? We went through
all this this whole training chabas and
there's no beh for this kid. Whatever
they're doing, they're in a they're not
in a state of mind. They're not in a
state of of making choices.
So we we come here and this but for the
children, for our other kids, the skips
as we call them, the siblings of Kips,
for them it's torturous. Like so so so
you're letting that child do whatever
you want and and and what's happening to
us it's I'm soon I'm going to be talking
to the skips.
There are moments when people do not
have
I learned a lot of
as you can see my head is is is very
very programmed the first few three
generations of I love this since I'm a
teenager
was kiss everybody every time how's it
possible
A big chunk of the of the against in the
beginning original time was this very
this very issue you people all the
whenever they saw the guy that was the
this everybody was called sadik
and everybody's good you know and the
used to take his biggest they were 24
hours into the ve and everything and he
used to tell them go for a shabas to
this and this guy that that that I'm
They aren't such that they used to be
there before school and he said I wanted
to be for Shabas by this by this person
he said reb okay he was there for Shabas
the guy doesn't know how to make a a
mazinist on on a grape juice he doesn't
I'm earth came back after shabas hund
such stories whoever reads anything
about
and he came back he said reb
nothing why did he see that tell me the
schedule shabas morning
when he made his coffee this this this
ye he was crying and he said
please make sure that my children should
always be and said that that filler that
he had is bigger than all of our villas
doing for
there's another tot went and saw another
person jumping over the river back and
forth and he said to Tom to a shepherd
while this sheep were were drinking from
the water over there from the stream he
was jumping over the water they said
Tommy Tom tom tom that was the only
Kurdish word this guy knew
And the talmet, the bashto bashto told
me, I want you to go to that in that
that place for this hour and don't say
anything behind the stone. And he
watched this guy jumping back and forth.
And he screamed and he said to her like
the guy's already saying a word. I said
to why why to? And the guy got confused
to it wasn't the same. Came back to the
bashto bashto said you know the shim
they're very upset with you. His tom he
meant it from his heart. He was diving
to Hashem was the only word you know it
was so real so deep it made such him
you're coming and you're and you confuse
them a little bit you have to know that
it's not so so the bash constantly used
to take of course it's we used to learn
with them the the biggest in the world
they were the rebbas of our rebas but he
wanted them to understand even the push
and the pushed is someone that who says
this is their his to say to
our child could the whole Could be if
she should had one more piercing on one
less,
one cigarette less on Shabas. One
cigarette that one cigarette less on
Shabas could be in Shmayim a million
times like I kept Shabas for 10 years.
Do we know where someone else's is up
to? I only know where my biker is up to.
And this is what I saw a lot in the
kadeshi and many told me about I have I
know where my biker is. I know where my
struggles are. And people around me
would say, "Oh, he's doing that thing
wrong. He doesn't know how what a big
struggle it is for me, that one thing."
And then other things are so easy for
me. And so, wow, it's a great guy. It's
easy for me. I know where my is most of
the time. Not 100% of the time. Where
your biker is, I don't know.
This is what the Bashem taught us. I
don't know where another person's bik
is. And if you have this fact in you,
you can never judge anybody. And to me,
everybody's a sadic.
Even the people that harmed me and hurt
me in my life. At the moment, it's hard.
I passed by. It goes to time and I'm
like, if I would be raised in the same
environment as this person with the same
genes, the same friends, the same
neighbors, and the same everything, I
would probably be worse.
I don't to me, nobody has bakira. Of
course, my children, I'm raising them. I
have to train them to to make smart
choices. But if it doesn't turn out the
way I want, they turn into kids
and ah they don't have choices.
Who has choices to me? Nobody has to me
every person's
in
what was he went up to
the people on this world that we saw
right he he went up to
were able to do it and he saw opposite
world
I saw opposite world people on this
world the world should considered high
achievers
amazing people leaders is sadikim and in
that world they're in the back and some
people on this world okay and on shim
they're sitting with the crown of the
banam on their head
do we know we don't know anything
there was a story with this uh I heard
from Jacobson recently such a beautiful
story he said there was a lababucha girl
before world war II she escaped Russia
herself without her siblings and she
came to New York for the first few
months she was say she Mish it was
Shabas keeping Shabas she had a job
every Shabas she lost a job and she was
not to be Shabas but after a while she
caved in
again do we know where her is she caved
in then eventually she opened up her own
company and she became very wealthy many
many years later she lived in Boston
somewhere and there was a lab
school over there and they knew that
this this fry woman this fry that's not
from women is from Kabat in the time. So
they went knocking on her door and they
said, "You know, you're very wealthy.
We're kabat. We want to make a yeshiva."
And she said, "Sure, I want to give
back." She gave a huge sum of money.
They should build whatever it was. One
of the misters,
she was in New York once. The lab wanted
her to come into the to theat
to the to the previous.
She said, "No, I don't need to go. I'm
good. I gave my money. No, but you need
to come in. She came in over there and
the Reba called her by her name was he
remembered from the high was like he
can't maybe there were cousins. She does
that.
She says sobb started thanking her. I

They're building the structures. And
this is their
we don't know
our children. Our issue that we have
with our kids is nish. They're
yiddishkites.
Our issue is that we're looking and
we're seeing our children going through
pain and that's why we are so pained for
them.
their bikes.
You know how much that goes on between
these group. We all know that they help
each other. These kips are you go to and

cigarette less and eventually he settled
became a regular being a man got married
the father was saying the story the of
the he didn't see to him as a shabas he
saw him the hours that he did keep
shabas
if we point out to our kids all the good
things that they do
that's the label they're going to want
to label themselves and they're going to
want to live up to that label
and sometimes we're not even able to
tell them at least think of it it's
going to go it goes through the vibes
are
I'm dealing one-on-one with the kids all
my life. I mean, for many, many years.
They sense our vibes if we mean it, if
we don't mean it, and what we say. We
really need to take home the lesson from
today, from this message and all the
other messages we pick up. Shabas, it's
a lot of work. But to internalize it and
to really see them as people that don't
have
they have between Hashem is nothing with
me. To me, nobody in this room has bak
and definitely not the kids.
They went through traumas and different
things.
Someone told me mamish this morning he
said that over Shabas him and his wife
he that he always felt that my child
never had a trauma that went through
molestation and everything does like all
this kind and he reminded himself of
something that happened in his family
when this kid was like five six year old
and he said him and his wife throughout
Shabas said wow this must have been
haunting that kid a sight he didn't tell
me what it was that the his children
witnessed a very terrible sight
something happened.
We don't know if our children are
victims of trauma or not. Most of them
are, but regardless
they don't have bik nobody has my little
kids have I tried to teach them. They
also don't have one kid has ADHD can't
sit more than 5 minutes. The other kid
could and sometimes I assume that this
kid and then 10 years later I find out
something. We don't know. We assume that
we know how much we is. Of course our
job and I spoke about this in last
shabon a lot. how to teach the young
kids about and choices,
how they shouldn't beat themselves up
when they're trying to choose something
right and it doesn't work out the whole
so this is
if we see it that way it's going to make
it so much easier for us to beious and
the what other people think what that
person thinks that's that's person or
maybe doesn't even have a choice if he's
judging me. I can't I don't even judge
the judges because if I judge the
judger, I just said that that I'm
judging.
This judger also doesn't have a to me. I
only know where my is up to. Obviously,
when I was a little kid, I used to
judge. I got a little older.
I stopped judging and then I started
judging the judges. Then I got a little
older and I realized that I'm judging.
Stop the whole thing. Judging is dento
said
hem is your shadow. A shadow does
exactly everything you do. If you don't
judge Hashem doesn't judge you. This is
brought down from theemash
many many times. In other words, this
was something very strong in this.
If you see the good in another person,
Hashem is going to see the good in you.
says from this I think the
brings that before there's that has to
happen to a person. Hashem sends under a
similar story to this person and and
Hashem wants to see what this person is
going to say. So something times the
story comes to you say a guy like that
you got to you got to you got to put him
into jail. You're just pusing for
yourself something only pasking good for
other people. Hashem sends you a
situation. He wants to see how you going
to pass and that's the Paskkin on you.
Hashem.
So we are stopping to judge.
And my favorite quote I'm going to
conclude with this. You know there's so
many quotes going around in the world
like constantly. But sometimes one quote
sticks to us, right? We like
don't judge, be curious.
Just be curious. We're judging people a
whole day.
The person dresses a certain. Oh, don't
judge. Be curious. The guy cut in in
front of you in the car. You're like
judging him. What you red light?
Why judging? Be curious. Maybe you can
stop the car and ask him and he'll tell
you that his wife is is is in labor.
It happened like this and it's
and he walked the street. He was very
into this avoid of only seeing good and
saying good to people. He lived in Taliv
at the time. There was hundreds of
thousands of fen and they walked like
that and he was it and it was a car
passed by aasel. He used to say it's
it's it's a it's a and one day there was
this big uh schle truck
tow truck and someone said this also
yelled this the said yes. They ran after
the truck. There was the driver and his
wife was was in labor. Hashem was
protecting him. He said Reb said
something. I heard of somebody said that
his idol was there. Someone wanted to
check with Reb said he only saw good. So
that Hashem Pascin on them good because
he Hashem listens to us the way we
passen and the way we pass on ourselves
and the way we pass on someone else. Be
curious. I'm wondering why did he do
this? So your husband does something, he
said something, your wife does
something. We judge. We judge all day.
We don't realize we judge.
I don't understand why why do why do you
have to do that? Say, I'm curious why
did they do that? Most of the times when
you give them the opportunity to
explain, they say, "Oh,
so let's stop judging ourselves."
We need to stop judging ourselves. Don't
judge yourself.
Be nice and kind to yourself. You're
also
a complex being created of your whole
background and your childhood and
everything else. So don't judge yourself
and don't judge others.
We should all have to go through this
design as soon as possible. We should be
above time. It should be only pleasure.
