night when you are excited to greet the chabas that's the M you want to get a braa don't travel don't go anywhere all you have to do is really get excited really Le in really experience shabas shabas is the there's a story told that once there was a woman from the city of Mir the town of Mir the Yesa was because it was in the town Mir who brought her son her son was very sick he had a heart condition to ride to in order to be able to get a after all the tells us in if a person has someone sick in their home in their vicinity go to a so the can give theiron to the can give a the can ask to give a foolish l so what happened was they told that this family just came back from a famous a prominent doctor an expert in Vienna and the doctor was M the doctor said it's hopeless this child has a heart condition it's irreparable it won't heal it can't get better unfortunately and tragically this child will not recover will not heal wasn't ripe old age at the time said if that's what the doctor said then what can I do but one of the members of the's family who had been in Ren learned in r was hosted by this woman who was so generous to the to in rather to Thea in really beseech beseeched the great to to give a to do something so listen what the said said said am I real name was May you think that I can heal this child you think that I'll give a that will make this child okay shabas is the m of that's what we say that's what we d That's What We Sing shabas is M whenever you need a go to others but also turn to shabas turn to this woman said you know if you take a cabal

waiting not you you wait for shabas rather than chabas waiting for you as ofos be ready and that Mak will have an impact and in this story The Woman accepted upon herself to always be ready for chabas as ofos as of midday she tapped into the Maka to the beauty of shabas her child healed and when they brought that child back to the doctor in Vienna and the doctor saw this healed heart the doctor said this isn't the heart the same heart that healed I don't know how but somehow this child got a new heart and the new heart came from shabas not every problem we have by accepting accepting being ready as ofos is going to go away and we don't have a religion that has guarantees that if you do this then that happens but we do know is that it's real it means something that when we say shabas is
