Tiferet Of Gevurah – “Learn from the best” | Counting the Omer - Rabbi Anava | #sefirathaomer

we're going to be counting the 10th day of we want to title it in a few words I will say it in Hebrew and then translate it to English is what does it mean means to glorify or another word in Hebrew for is sh is to praise and om is courage of course by Nature as humans we usually praise and we glorify a hero whether it's a hero in our generation or whether it's a hero from a previous generation or in the past unfortunately to most people the hero is a soccer player or NBA player or a boxer or some other champion this is not necessarily the hero that we were referring to even though even we're not going to take from the uh honor and the respect of a great athle or a great mathematician or scientist because they obviously achieved something so must be something there so even a good athlete you can achieve you can appreciate the fact that he was very consistent for 30 years and he was able to achieve results one way or another however you're going to look at it we do have the nature in us to praise and to glorify a hero and the thing is that we need to do it on a real hero not on some fake hero hero but it's extremely important to us that we always have a hero and I'm not talking about Superman right now talking about it uh a great Rabbi a great scholar a great leader in the Jewish nation and a great leader again I'm not talking about a prime minister great leader all I'm talking about in the path of the Torah and the reason why we want to have that is because we need a a role model I need to look at somebody in the world of the Torah and to be able to see the quality here and to learn something from that and you need to recognize when something was done in the right gor in the right strength me sometimes it takes a long time for a person to gather this strength to do something and to stand on his ground his or hers doesn't matter so when it's done and when you see the beauty in the gor then it has to be praised we can't mimic the hero I can't be a carbon copy he did like this I go do like this too I have to draw inspiration that's the idea of the hero so practically saying we like taking a little exercise home I have to recognize the hero in my life if I don't have a hero find yourself a hero and again I'm using the word hero I will now Define it more specific an image uh a person not an image a person a rabbi a scholar a prophet a female a male doesn't matter that was extremely powerful in our history of course in the path of Torah that I can draw inspiration and say ah I relate with that person
