listened together and watch together when you're apart and it's great to see you together in person please God in good health for many many years to come okay so before we dive back into the safer we've been studying Tiffany I got a great ammuna email you know I love when people share their emuna stories their stories of a moon and how it helps them so I'll share with you this I'm in a story I want to then we'll dive back into the into the sources itself so uh this person who will remain anonymous rights all right go back I hope all as well and we can listen to the ministry I was flying back today from such a place to such a place and I got to the airport with plenty of time to spare went through security and quickly glanced my mobile boarding pass to see the gate and saw it said d32 I didn't think twice because the screen above the gate said flight to the destination where I was going an Israeli lady approached me and said yeah another Jewish person she asked if I could help her she was traveling from Israel and didn't have a working phone she made multiple calls on my phone and asked me to help her with her Wi-Fi I got completely distracted until I looked at my Apple watch and it said boarding closed I was so confused because the gate I was at had not started boarding yet I then realized that even though I was at a gate to that destination I had looked at the gate we were landing at and not at the gate departing from I ran to the correct gate and they told me it was too late and they would put me on a standby for the next flight at first I was so worried but then I took a step back and I said I helped another Jew and Hashem will take care of me everything will work out and I wasn't meant to be on the earlier flight I waited on standby they told me the flight was completely booked and even overbooked by one I waited there patiently saying to Helen and the guy said I'll put you on even cooler the seat I was put in was 32 D the same gate where I helped the fellow Jew was the same seat that I got d32 and it was c32d if not for the amunisher I'm sure I would have stayed freaking out thank you sign somebody who didn't freak out so Borah Hashem that are the benefits of living with the moon it's not the amunisher it's any yamuna that you practice that you learn that you preach that you teach that you read that you subscribe to but simply the living with emuna is what enables Us in those difficult situations and that is not a difficult situation in the moment it feels like a difficult situation he spoke yesterday in the Parsha Shear says I'll bring you up on the wings of eagles he wants to give us a look from 50 000 feet down he says all the things that seem so big when you're down there if you were to see from up here you'd see how small they really are so where we are they all feel so big but in scope and context proportion they're really very small but when you're going through it it feels big and when you go through it no matter what it is with emuna we can find the strength to endure the resilience to be able to overcome and to get through and navigate the difficult situations and circumstances of life we get together on Wednesday mornings not just to talk about amuna but to work out aramuna muscles to get our emuna LASIK surgery so that we can see the world through the perspective of emuna and when those moments come we spoke about this last week we can't wait you can't wait till the crisis of catastrophe or simply the challenging moment arises to then try to find Hashem and try to find Serenity and tranquility and come if we wait till those moments it's too late person has to be living with emuna so that we are strong and healthy and we have a foundation of amuna upon which we can lean and turn to and grow in those in those moments okay so let's continue on page iron gimmel page 73 Tim Hai Muna a great Sadiq today in your life and he writes the following us wherever is our passion that is our life Source what gets you excited what wakes you up in the morning what gets you going I recently got together with a group of uh community members who are dear friends I hadn't connected with in a long time and we definitely shot the breeze and made small talk and caught up with one another and then I asked the question which we don't often ask one another but I think it's really a great conversation piece of true genuine friendship not acquaintances that it's not comfortable to do this with but real comfort and we went around and I said everybody share what energizes you what excites you what is your passion what makes you wake up what makes you jump out of bed in the morning what energizes you and what depletes you of energy what are the things they say oh I hate having to do that I don't want to do that that's miserable that drains me that takes all the energy from me that you don't have to share especially if it's someone you're related to with that you don't have to share but but what are the things that energize you what are the activities and experiences and people and practices what inspires you and what energizes you I don't know that we ask ourselves that question often enough I don't know if we asked that question often enough wanted us to ask ourselves that question they talked about the mission was talking about a tree does it have deeper roots does it have more branches it'll topple over if the roots are not deep and they're not strong and what are Roots Roots what draw the nourishment roots are what draw the the irrigation they draw the water that will make that tree survive and the mission tell us that you have to have Deep Roots the tree will topple over we need to do more of what energizes us than that which depletes us and drains us of our energy not just physically although that too but spiritually what spiritually energizes us you know we talked about in halify we could Institute that we go for a physical we're supposed to go for a physical every year a world checkup as a comedian performed at a local school dinner the other night and talked about the doctors during Corona who only did well checkups if you were sick you couldn't come only well checkups you had a whole routine about the wild checkups so but we we encourage a well checkup it's called a physical you go for a physical once a year and it's a world checkup what's wrong nothing what's the matter nothing what are the symptoms I don't have any why are you here I feel well but once a year you should double check take inventory take Labs let's see what I'm holding a physical once a year imagine if we went for a spiritual once a year spiritual when's the last time you had coffee with a friend or caught up on the phone and they said How's your nishama doing what we talk about is and the plumber came and then I just got a new couch in my house let me tell you what's going on with my children and the new restaurant that opened up and the shul is incredible the activities the programs it's unbelievable my show is the best show on the planet we catch up on all of that but when's the last time we're willing to make ourselves vulnerable with ourselves or to others to say housing when's the last time you took care of protected your nishama how is your nashama doing what are we doing for anushama which is really another form of the question what drains your nashama and what energizes your neshamel says whatever we are immersed in marinated in passionate about excited about that's what gives us it gives us life gives us life somebody texted me at midnight last night did you hear LeBron broke the scoring record I could care less but there's a world of people that LeBron I'm a Jordan loyalist I'm not a LeBron fan I don't like LeBron doesn't impress me doesn't excite me I'm not a fan of it but there are people who like basketball and scoring records and that's they live for it it's an exciting moment they kept the family around let's gather let's watch let's see this big seminal moment he's gonna break through he says it gives the example there are some people who are living for their next meals there's some people so committed so devoted their life is so food is so Central to their life that their whole life revolves around what's the menu for the next meal what are we eating where are we going what are we having next and while they're eating you can't talk about anything else how does it taste what does that spy are you enjoying is this good how would you rate it what is it it's the same person who you could engage intellectually spiritually emotionally but in the moment of their indulging physically they're abria they're unrecognizable you're like how's my new shama have you tasted this crepe tell me what what energizes you what energizes me have you had any of this dessert and you're like I don't even know who you who am I sitting next to I don't recognize you what are you right now hi where did the nashama I love go you're just a goof you're just a body where's the soul that I love where'd it go ES you might as well be sitting opposite the cow or the or the or the dog or the cat or the hamster that's just indulging in a physical act of eating and loves it and is overeating and is enjoying and and the whole soul of the person has been suspended while they are experiencing the eating all of their limbs and all of their organs and all of their intellect and all their emotion and all their soul is directed only to that moment of eating not mindfully eating that's a Jewish concept we've spoken a lot about give a whole Shear it's online if you want to find it on the Jewish attitude towards eating mindful eating is a Jewish not only perspective it's a Jewish it's a Jewish mandate it's a Jewish Mission it's a totally Jewish we've in one of the many books that I've written all of them so far only in my head [Music] but I have a whole book on this subject the whole chapter there's a lot of footnotes to it it's all it's all written and documented it's excellent just right now only in my head but we've totally the whole laws of cautious are that while the west of the world mindlessly can eat anything at any time anywhere we should be mindful of what we're about to put into our mouth the whole that you have to make a bracha before and after all of it is a platform and an exercise in mindfulness we unfortunately have become creatures of habit and wrote and we Mumble the bracha and we eat the bracha Fest and then we're about to eat the food and we're not discriminate or judicious about what food we eat when we eat how much we eat and what portion size we eat and the opposite we've become so synonymous some segments of our community with unhealthy eating and unhealthy portions of eating and over emphasis on eating which is never the way it was meant to be it was never the way it was meant to enjoy good food there definitely is a major food component to our religion and we should enjoy it but we should enjoy it with boundaries and parameters and a perspective and in a way that elevates or we elevate it not not the opposite and that's a whole we should work harder in our families and in our community and in our attitude and our approach to that and this is not something like we should have vegan kiddishes and kale shalashudis and I'm not coming to any of those so that's that's not what I'm advocating you could have kogel and chalant and good things but you could have it in a good proportion and a good ratio and and good version of it and so on and so forth and a mindful experience of the bracha and that what we're doing to the food and this is the Jewish perspective to eating we sing it A Child it's Psalm 23. you set a table before me in full view of my adversaries who are the adversaries our enemy is like that's exactly where Hamas put the spy cameras they're watching my Shabbos table that's where that's where Hezbollah is uh is espionage opposite my adversaries they're watching my table you know what the enemy is my table what's on it the food the enemy is within me every time we sit down to eat we are engaging in a war that's why what's the word for for bread and what's the root of the word for war and it's not a coincidence the same word is the staple of all food staple of all meals today everybody is uh glucose free and uh Celiac and conscientious of carbs and all that stuff but once upon a time when you didn't have a supermarket with thousands of products what you had was bread bread was the staple of every meal and every time he sat down to eat that bread you were engaging every time you ate licham you were about to engage in a Muhammad so we wage a war with eating that's exactly where you know why we have the the Sadiq him say I'm going to get back to our text in one second but Sadiq and say why do we have hagalas Caleb you buy a utensil it was manufactured not by a Jew it was sold not by a Jew before you use it you got to go to the Kayla Mikvah and no you can't use it once before you go to the Kayla Mecca that's a misnomer before you use it you have to go to the Kayla mcva you have to go to the Kayla mikwa Glass and Metal not China what has to go what doesn't have to go for another time why it's bizarre yesterday four new Jews and our Mikvah we converted four new people four beautiful new Souls the Nick was a place that non-jews can become Jews the Nick was a place that a man who experienced an act that he wants to cleanse himself and purify himself and Elevate himself from goes to the Mikvah a woman whose body did not realize the possibility of conception of a new life and instead there was the loss of that possibility goes to the mcflow these are wholly beautiful descriptions of why we have nikvah and what else so a person who wants to convert and a man who wants to elevate himself to learn in Daven and a woman who wants to re be reborn with possibility again after experiencing the unfulfilled possibility of conception and my pots yeah and my pants and my forks and my knives right this is the this is the sobering part of getting married are on cloud nine and they're counting all the checks and gifts and then they realize what pile has to go to the Calum Mikvah not as the sobering part of of marriage that's that's why in Shava broadcast you can't go to work because you spend the whole show of Brothers so but what my pots and pans and forks and knives where's the Holiness in that it's a beautiful beautiful insights of righteous people who say that what we're doing is we're converting our eating utensils into Jewish eating utensils because we're trying to convert them to have the mindfulness the my pots and pans and my forks and eyes I'm not going to encounter engage food the same way as the rest of the world the rest of the world does it just indulging we're living through this pandemic in America it's the unspoken one about the Obesity crisis and the Health crisis that has come it's actually a subtext of the last pandemic which disproportionately affected people who are not healthy and because the the the the viral load of covid attacks specifically fat cells and so people who struggled more were the ones who were not healthy we're not allowed to talk about those things today and we're not going to talk about them here we're now that I talk about those things but but we're supposed to be living a different mindfulness a different level life a different Consciousness the Jewish approach and attitude is that my pots and pans my forks and knives I'm about to cook really delicious food and delicious recipes of my ancestors recipes that have an emotional connection to me recipes that will enhance my Shabbos and my yantev I'm going to cook those but I'm going to do everything I do around eating mindfully not blindly I'm not going to indulge I'm not going to follow an app an animal appetite or an animal impulse an animal Instinct I'm going to be mindful mindful to the point that by the way we believe and others talks about we we metaphysically add ingredients into the food that we cook based on what we're thinking and talking about while we make it the dough of Sarah imenu that Rifka was able to recreate in the tent was the one because when she came back to the 10th the tent that Sarah's candle was lit from Shabbos to Shabbos and the dough was perfect and and so on what does it mean the dough is perfect says what it means is what you're speaking about or listening to what you're thinking while you're making the dough the khala is actually one of the ingredients that goes into it and the people that you love that are going to eat they're going to eat and they're going to swallow and they're going to unbibe and they're going to digest whatever you were thinking or talking about so if you're on the phone sharing lushanhara while you're making your holy khala so that color is now an instrument of poison if you're listening to something you shouldn't be listening watching something you shouldn't be watching feeling thinking Envy or arrogant or angry thoughts while you're making the challah then then how is now the the medium of those qualities to whoever's going to eat it the chicken soup I would say it makes Incredible chicken soup she knows my line I always say it's not chicken soup it's medicine it's delicious it can heal whatever's going on physically or spiritually in your life chicken soup is delicious but that's because she has holy thoughts while she makes it if you make the chicken soup and you're adding all the ingredients and as you do you're watching listening talking thinking things you shouldn't it's all going into that chicken soup that's what we believe we have a very different attitude and approach to food than everyone else and and we when you take the Calum to the Kayla Mikvah that's the thought not the label in this glue and that anti-semite to put this label on this pot with this glue and a sticker and I can't get it off that's not the thought the thought is Hashem I'm putting this in the Mikvah and I'm converting this pot I'm converting this Fork I'm converting this Knight I'm converting it to a Jewish approach a Jewish mindful approach a Jewish healthy approach a Jewish attitude to it so how do we get into all this because that there are people who when they're eating they're another Bria they're all together a different creature they're an animal more than they are a human being they've suspended all their intellect all their emotional all their spirituality and all they're doing in that moment is indulgent like an animal and there are other people that when they're making a deal when they're negotiating a deal you don't know who they are anymore there's the person you know who's kind and compassionate and sweet and self-aware and then there's the person who's hunting that deal who's negotiating that deal and they're ruthless and they're a killer and they're no longer have emotion or feeling or empathy they no longer have perspective on what matters and what's important and you say who who is that person they're like a hunter with a weapon and they're only happy if they've made a kill and they view Life as a win-lose not a win-win Islam is there are people in the pursuit of money and material things don't need sleep they could work 23 out of 24 hours and not Tire the adrenaline rush they get from making a Kill from making a quick Buck from Landing a deal from turning a profit you've never seen such happiness such Joy you don't even know who they are they're unrecognizable at the moments right the corollary or the the more appropriate manifestation or expression of this is you see the people who run the Mata Bakery before pesach which by the way the Mata is almost all done already for this pesach it was done by Hanukkah the matzah I just saw the shots are matzah Factory closed down shut down no shots of matzo this year shut down so they say retired I know it's true or not rumor anyway so the people who run that matzah Factory it's Round the Clock they don't Tire they're so driven to provide the matzah to make the matzah manufacture the matzah and to make a living off that matzah that they're just driven and they get I don't know what a good translation is you get life it is your source of life it's your life Source it's not a good translation for the word is Your Life Source what gives you what gives you drive what gives you energy what gives you excitement what gives you passion what gives you enthusiasms but there are the people who say you know I'm gonna Corner the market on dalod meaning I'm going to Corner that market I'm going to push everyone else out I'm going to Market better than everyone I'm gonna sell the most dollar minimum he's not not the same Sherman but the people who want the prophet they'll work all hours of the day and night they're unrecognizable all they care about is that dollar all they care about is that profit all they care about is that bottom line you don't even know who they are anymore Lumas uh says why is he mentioning all this because if a person would really stop and think and contemplate and remained very conscious and conscientious and aware why am I here what am I meant to do what is my legacy I want to leave is it going to stay on your Tombstone you landed the most deals he turned the greatest prophets he ruthlessly beat out every competitor is it going to stay on the tombstone had the best recipes ate the most was the most engaged when we were eating in the food didn't care about anything else is that what we want them to say at our levia is that the dash you know the famous poem the dash between the years if you don't Google it read it have some tissues nearby all that matters is the dash between the years is our Dash is is it about the recipes or how much we ate how many restaurants we toured where we went our knowledge of food and flavors and umami is that is that uh is that what I should say on our tombstone that's not the answer that what was missing in the world before you were created and what is waiting for you and you and only you to do and what would be incomplete in hashem's world if you didn't do it the answer is never going to be about another deal or making more money or eating more food again there's nothing wrong with making money and there's nothing wrong with enjoying good food this is not we are not a religion that believes in asceticism or vows of celibacy or abstinence we don't think Holiness is found in elevating above these things enjoy them it's a beautiful world Hashem created he wants us to enjoy it but in perspective and that's not they're all a means towards something else the food is a means right we won't get into it now but it's this week's partial also Israel comes and by saper Moshe Moshe tells them everything that happened you're not going to believe it shiver you're not going to believe it father-in-law you're not going to believe what happened and then there was ten plagues and then we thought it was over the Egyptian and then see split you won't believe it and yester says that's incredible what's for lunch that's amazing that's not a barbecue that's unbelievable and then yes sir all of a sudden makes a barbecue he brings Allah and he makes a barbecue he makes meat and everyone else smells the barbecue Aaron comes and the zakainim come and they all sit down and they eat and now we're ready for Kabbalah Satora after the barbecue oh you can eat barbecue after the lunch buffet what's that doing here why now so we won't get into it but it is the notion of the role of food in in a positive sense that we can Elevate the act of eating and the act of eating elevates us and it is the union of the the body and the Soul when we do it right when we get it right and we do it in a positive way so we're not we're not railing against it it has a place and it has a role and we should enjoy it but we should never confuse it with being our mission or our life never confuse it with the answer to what are we here oh yeah it's never too late to ask yourself that question it's never too late to live the life you were meant to live it's never too late to create the Legacy that you were meant to create but how many go deep into their lives and never ask and never think about that question begins [Music] he says the core and the foundation The Source the root of all life is to ask ourselves why did you wake up this morning why did Hashem have you wake up this morning what are you meant to still do what is the world waiting for you to do to be and it doesn't have to be on a large scale cure cancer make World Peace solve it could be to be the best version of you to be the best mother or father husband or wife best Community member best friend those little small things are very big things but they're very different than to eat more to earn more to buy more to Vacation more um Hashem so what is the purpose of life Hashem it's a beautiful it's a bit of a song it was recently composed Hashem being close to Hashem for me is good what is the measure of success what is the measure of life it's not how much I have but it's rather how close to Hashem I am you know what's good for me so if you go for a physical when you're done the doctor reviews your labs and reviews the tests and reviews the exam and says you know go for a little bit more of a walk you could use a little bit more exercise and cut off the salt to the sugar or whatever the advice is so if you went for a spiritual if we went for a spiritual you know what the spiritual doctor would say add a little bit more kirivas Hashem foreign for you would do good it would be good for you to get a little closer to Hashem talk to him more confide in him more unburden yourself on him more give us Hashem um if you came to experience and taste that what that means that would become I don't know if how many of you were at Ravine Burger a few weeks ago when we had here but that's his and it's contagious there's a contagion factor to it it's contagion to negative attributes and qualities like your health your eating habits are a direct result of the people you spend the most time with there's a negative contagion factor and potentially positive contagion Factor but there's also a contagion Factor spiritually are we around people who drain us who are cynical about God cynical about spirituality turned off disaffected disillusioned or do we connect to other people's hot spot do we have incredibly high speed connection to Hashem because we're latching on to other people's Hot Spot we're around them I don't know anyone who walked out of Weinberg was like that was a waste of the night I'll never get those couple hours back that was pretty boring I don't know anybody who walked out that way and if there were I don't want to know about it but everyone I know walked out was like wow I I feel something I'm on fire I I sang and I danced and I was moved and I thought and I laughed and I cried and I had goosebumps and like I want some of what he's having can I have some of what he's having whatever of one Burgers happen I want some of that so I'll tell you what he's having Hashem he's having that he talks to Hashem I'm not over romanticizing of Weinberger he's a human being like we're human beings but there are other righteous men and women other very holy men and women and people and not all of them have big platforms and big names and fancy titles and big followings some of them are sitting next to you right now in this room and they live every day with extraordinary emuna and when you attach to their hot spots you could have such a high-speed connection just attached to their hotspot and you even if you're struggling to connect directly connect to their hotspot you could have such a high speed connection because they're curious they're having some careless Hashem say I'll I'll take what they're having I'll have two of what they're happening if that becomes Weinberg wakes up the morning and he's not like did LeBron break the scoring title yet today what's the market doing today there's nothing wrong with getting excited about basketball there's nothing wrong with following the market and being invested in it and doing well with it but is that is that what drives you at a cousin in Lakewood who tragically died at the beginning of Corona tragically he was an unbelievably modest but extraordinary he was an accountant and he was old school old school there are very few people like him in the world today he would work every day till he had enough money for his family and then stop and go to learn and he's brilliant so he had clients who desperately wanted him and they knew that you needed to call in time before he shut down for the day because he did well enough that day that he could now go learn countless farm he was admired by the Russian Yeshiva of Lakewood in a humble modest very very special person of Zaman hello fandel Zach married to my first cousin very very special person so for the story his daughter became an accountant too and once and his tax April 15th is when taxes I do yeah it's April 14th at night she called him and she said Ty how you doing he said amazing I'm finished she said finished wow it's incredible so early in the evening you're finished already April 14th all your clients are done she starts talking to them about taxes and clients and finances and you're finished he said no no not taxes I just finished masecta oh finished he didn't even know what she was talking about are you finished his mind went right to whatever masectomy he was learning there was one night his brothers-in-law my other cousins told me one night he said to them could you come over I'm trying to put the other minion I'm making you see him what's a museum my cotton Marcus what's the Seaman seder Nation so they got there he said yeah to see him on onshas I decided a year ago I wanted to hazardous I did seven and a half dollar a day just a hazard didn't make a big party didn't have a band there was no famous singer who came just to see him on chess I just need 10 people so I could do that and then start again so April 14th when his daughter said how are you doing he says I'm finished amazing I'm so happy and she thinks he's talking about taxes he says no no I finished his latest message he wrote A Commentary and yurush xiaomi that they showed kanescue who was specialized in everything but Yoshimi was blown away and said it needs to be pun it needs to be published and they're working on that now just an exceptional person why am I telling you this story because it deserves to be told he deserves to be spoken about but because Board of Camille is describing you notice was he was a brilliant brilliant with taxes brilliant with numbers but that wasn't as this was total was learning with Hashem was his family never confused earning a living with living is living earning a living is what we need to do to be living that was the story of Weinberger told other people put their logo on and spread all over the internet but that was the story that he told here at the bokers on synagogue that his father when he called and he knew his father was the middle of the day and he said hold on his father came back to the phone and they spoke for 45 minutes and later that night his mother told them you know your father kicked everybody out of the store it was a dry cleaning and locked the door and he felt horrifically terrible his father's Migra parnassa he kicked everyone out and locked the door in the middle of the day so he went and he apologized to his father and his father turned to what he said why are you apologizing why do you think I have a store why do you think I do all this why do I think you earn this living is for those 45 minutes when you need me what do you think it's all for what was he saying his Prius is not dry cleaning is not as parnassa maybe he enjoys it maybe he's devoted to it maybe it's his calling us is not necessarily what you spend the most time on quantitatively the qualitative leads your face if so little time this insane world today with our children but that's those interactions which should be longer it must be longer but those that's what you do everything else for is what gives you life so Hashem is that those moments talking them connecting to him singing with him dancing with him feeling his love feeling his Embrace or to quote our new friend not freaking out that's atheists you understand for the person who sent me this email she was sitting next to Hashem in the airport on standby she was sitting with him she didn't freak out I was at the wrong gate I looked at the one we're Landing not the one we're departing from I can't believe it I missed the flight on standby for the next one it wasn't panic she said that's where I was meant to be I met that woman I helped that woman I gave her my phone she made those phone calls I wasn't meant to be on that earlier flight Hashem didn't want me to be there he wants me to be here he's it's not the person behind the counter sometimes that we panic and we freak out at them the person who seems to be typing the dissertation all while they're looking where your seat is that's the person that you have in the panic attack against no Hashem Hashem is the one behind the computer shim is the one determining what flight we're on and if we make it and if we'll get on standby or not Trump is giving us our seed assignment hoping it's a good one with some extra legroom but Hashem is the one who's giving that upgrade that seat assignment when you live life here of us Hashem so the same way the same with the person who's going to be working overtime because there's a deal they're working on and they can't wait to close that
