Get Uncomfortable AMAZING Rav Yaacov Galinsky Story

[Music] in the book by Rabbi kakon my Rabbi is three-part book it's three books he has many many good stories and one of the stories have in English or something no it's only in Hebrew because we'll do English one day um one of the stories is about Rabbi galinski RAB galinski died not just a few years ago was one of the top kiru rabbis in the world and he had a such a such love of that it was hard to compete with something like this there are so many amazing stories of how he did K in the most unusual places things that in our generation we can't do I give you an example there are stories of how he used to go to a nightclub knowing that somebody would tell him there's a bunch of Jews in this nightclub bunch of Israelis in this nightclub doing a who knows what he would go with his black and white old man will go to the nightclub Club take everyone out get all of them go to the today the rabbi goes into the nightclub he doesn't come out who come out of the nightclub today Shor are you going there you you start promoting The Club at the end of the night but Rabbi galinski was KES kashim so Rabbi galinsky said say I'm from the yes of no same Rabbi that we talked we start says I'm from his Yesa we knew that we had to in order for us to get Tor to become part of our life we knew from our teacher we must do we must self-sacrifice to get to a point of M getting glued to hasem so one day as a young student I thought to myself you know I need to work on my I need to work on my fear of the Almighty I learned T all day I learned I learned mus I learned this I learned that but I need to make sure that I have the right amount of fear says if someone has say someone has to make a sin say remind yourself there's a God if that's not enough learn Torah remind yourself what the Torah says if that's not enough remind yourself of the day you're going to die why because you're going to have to pay the bill so I said okay how gillinsky is saying let me go prepare myself for the day I'm gonna die what it's going to look like so I decided I'm gonna go to the bet I'm gon to go to the cemetery at night now it's already scary me I'm already scared telling the story think about the cemetery at night so he goes to the cemetery at night now in a Jewish in a Jewish cemetery there's also a mik where they wash the dead bodies she says I'm going to go to the cemetery at night and dip in the mikve where they wash the dead bodies so R galinski young man middle of the night he's telling the story he says just the wind the wind the whistling of the wind was terrifying the whistling of the wind was terrifying being in the cemetery in the middle of the night it's so dark then I see this mik and everything is dark and scary I say okay I'm take off my clothes really quickly I'm going to dip and come out if I get a heart attack I do it really quickly and this is going to be a memory I'll never forget now I have finally he takes off his clothes really quickly he goes into the mikve and as soon as he goes into the mikve he feels like he's stepping on a body yeah be kidding he says from the fear that I had I passed out but then I passed out I fell into the water and the water you know splashed in my face and woke me up I got so scared I started coming out and the body came out with me and then I see it's one of the guys from the ISA and we're looking at each other both of us scared to death and then I thought to myself you know is not the only thing I have to work on I also have to work work on my ga my pride why my pride why did I think that I'm the only one that will have This brilliant idea of going to the cemetery and dipping in a mik somebody else is also brilliant Ina not only me us we we think we're already just thinking about it he went did it and he's thinking about I have to work on another Mida another character trait that's love galinski but you see from this story of how Sal started his whole organization through then he goes to the goes to galinski you see the byproduct the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree and this is what needs to understand that if you want to have this share of the world to come that everybody keeps talking about you have to start getting used to you have to start getting used to self-sacrifice you can't just live a comfortable life enjoy this world on a regular basis and think that your is going to look pretty it's not realistic you didn't come to enjoy this world I'm not saying you came here to be miserable I'm not saying you're supposed to suffer in some Corner as a homeless person I'm not saying that but what I am saying is that you are supposed to get used to making yourself uncomfortable for the sake of hem so if it's easy for you to learn 15 minutes a day then you that means it's not enough you have to start learning a half hour if it's easy for you to learn a half hour then it's time for you to learn an hour if it's easy for you to listen to my lectures online or here great you have to listen to more lectures not just once a week if you're listening to lectures all week all day there's lectures lectures lectures lectures lectures it's easy for you you listen to it on the way to work you listen to it on the way home that's your Torah tease if you to listen to lectures it's time to open a book my friend you can't just listen to lectures your whole life yes we make it easy for you rabbis that work hard to you know arrange these lectures make it easy for people to learn it's good it's important you should continue listening to lectures but there's levels of Torah lectures is one level but learning yourself from from the books themselves it's it's a higher level of course it's more difficult you're going to have to do the the uh the the hard work of figuring out what it says if it's easy for you to learn from M let's say easy for you to learn from some book of of the one of the sadim wrote great it's time to learn if it's easy for you to learn time to learn with to and it keeps going and going and going and going but now the ultimate purpose of all of it all of this learning is not for you guys to turn into encyclopedias and start teaching me it's for you to apply all of it start applying everything you learn when you see which is usually the first that people read you see it says if a man has a woman as a customer and he has to give her change to give a change and he's taking his time giving her the change 1 2 3 4 five six he's taking a Time Tak giving a change so the says there's no way for him not to go to Gom for that what you mean why is he going to gomi skin he just gave a change CU he's only taking his time according to the to look her out just like you said to look at our hands not to look at our body to look at our hands so now if person is going to go to G for looking at a woman's hand that's not his wife what do you think he's going to get for looking at her body what do you think he's going to get for looking to see how the skirt fits her or the shirt is cut off and how she's not modest or modest or this or that what do you think he's going to get for that he's going to GED for that what is it saying the T say he gets got for that doesn't say it says the opposite so learning all of this tor all of these things that we just talked about you have to apply it you have to make sure these eyes that you have these eyes are the best camera in the world why because it never forgets you don't need a memory stick it never forgets everything that you ever see is always going to be there you look at a woman once you're always going to remember what she looks like and you're always going to remember how you saw her so if you choose to use your eyes to look at immodesty you're never going to forget it ifom you choose to exercise that immodesty to go take action with a woman that you're not allowed to be with just know just know that when 120 comes and you go to Judgment Day she's going to be with you at the trial and according to thear going to be like a k tied to you at all times never leave you so even though you're going to have your wife and kids koser family everybody did chv you're going to have this beast from your 20s still chasing you heyi remember me embarrassed next to your sadika wife and kids why because you took action on something says don't do so the point of learning all this stuff is to learn how to apply it you start learning apply it start learning how to apply it you start actually becoming a better quality person so now that we understand that in order for any of these Mish that we're going to learn and we understand that is not a free ticket just because your mom is Jewish does not mean anything it just means you have a ticket it doesn't mean that you your ticket's going to work you could show up at the door and say okay yeah a very nice ticket beautiful ticket but it says on the back of the ticket no shoes no shirt no service you know how they say next to uh in the sels they always have a sign on the door no shoes no no shirt no service cuz guys from the beach come there with no shirt no no uh thing and they they want to buy stuff in the shirt and the by the bite the owner of the place says listen I don't want my the rest of my customers seeing you naked so if you're going to go buy uh something for my store put a shirt on put a shoes on and you'll get service but if you show up and you don't exercise these rules then you're not going to get any service same thing with ticketa ticket TOA says okay you you have to you have a ticket but make sure as the rambam says you don't fall under the definition of someone who cuts himself out of am for all the details for the third time page 90 to 98 and Page 17 so we know that there's it's not going to be easy to get to but it's possible that's why they're starting the whole book the whole Mish with this to show you that it doesn't matter who you are it doesn't matter if you're Nissan Oru everyone has the ability to get to which requires some work [Music]
