Rabbi B Story - The Rogatchover Learns a Lesson

[Music] well hi welcome to the big yellow couch special story today's story is called the ruga chover learns a lesson H let's begin the story Rabbi ysf Rosen was also known as the go The Genius of rachov he was known around the Jewish world for his incredible knowledge of Torah but he is also known for having very long hair d'vorah wants to know if he was a Nazir oh that's a big word d'vorah you see a nazer was someone in the times of the B mikdash it was if the person wanted to own only serve Hashem and they promised Hashem that they would only work in the BAM mikdash and they wouldn't do anything else so they wouldn't even go and get a haircut and azer would have very very long hair but you know what d'vorah I don't think the rug chover was a nuer but let me explain why he did have long hair he simply loved learning Tor so much so that he never wanted to stop learning unless it was AB absolutely necessary he would learn Torah all day long he just loved learning Torah so if he went to get a haircut he would have to take off his yamaka and he would have to stop learning Torah and this would actually cause him pain and make him upset so he never got a haircut he just let his hair grow long d'vorah wants to know how come I don't have long hair I also love to learn Torah too well I do love to learn Torah but I'm not a genius like the rug go was and I'm not a sadic either and I think he might have been a sadic too and you see sadim and holy rabbis and Ritson like the rone all they do is serve Hashem and learn Torah and do Mitzvah but me sometimes I like to take a break sometimes I like to play with my friends or listen to music or take time to get a haircut those are things I like to do as well as learning Torah and doing Mitzvah but the rug chover goon's life was all about learning Torah and nothing else let's continue the story when the ruga gone would teach a Torah class many of the fathers who came to learn would bring their children along the class was a little too old for the kids so the children would play outside the study room one day the children were making a lot of noise as kids do and they were being a little bit too wild suddenly a crash Was Heard and the fathers went out to see what had happened the rug gone was so hurt that he had to stop learning Torah that he gave a big yell at the children telling them to stop playing so wild the men went back to the study hall to learn but the children were startled and did nothing they were too afraid to make any more noise they felt very bad the next day as the ruget chover go own was about to begin giving his class he noticed that the sh was very quiet a little too quiet he could see that none of the children children had come along with their fathers they all stayed home instead the ruga chover Goon asked why didn't the children come today one of the fathers explained that the kids felt bad for interrupting the Tor learning and how they decided not to come to Shu anymore in case they did it again the ruga chover felt terrible he realized his yelling had caused the kids to stop coming to sh and this was not what he had wanted to accomplish he immediately apologized to all the fathers about his behavior and promised to make it right all the kids were brought back to sh the next day and the rug chover gon spoke to them in a kind and warm way about the importance of learning Torah and the importance of being respectful in a sh and about the importance of not losing your temper he made a deal with the kids if they would agree to keep coming to sh and just to play a little less wild then the rugg chover agreed to never again lose his temper and never to forget that kids could be kids sometimes from that day on the kids would play nicely and sometimes they would even listen in on the Torah class and the ruget chover kept his promise too he never again did anything to make the kids not want to come to Shu what a great story you know the rug chover was a great sadic but sometimes even great sikim forget that kids can be kids but even as kids we have to also remember that the importance of going to sh the importance of learning Torah and of course to do all those things in a respectful and kind way that was a great story Rabbi B loves hearing from fans please send any fan mail drawings or or questions to Rabbi bmusic gmail.com [Music]
