[Music] to understand the issue of sharing a mitvah there's a phenomenal story about had a friend that was a Kay had a friend that was zealous sad and every day they would study study to take together and to to their dismay every day when the sun went up and went down the shadow of the Cross that's on the church across the street would show up in the besset through the window it would show up in the besset like the shadow of it would be on the Bess floor it would drive him crazy what are you going to do the not the Christians the powerful what are you going to do you can't do anything about it what you tell can you please move it what are you going to tell him they're going to kill you but his zealous friend couldn't take it one day he says that's it I have a Pon what are you GNA do I'm G to destroy it they're gon to kill you let them kill me sacrific his life for sanctification of hm's name so he goes destroys the cross and as he comes down from have destroying the cross what do they do they catch they catch him they throw him in their jail and they decide okay we have to kill him after their fake court hearing they say okay we're going to kill him so now and the rest of the K have to find a way to save him what's the best way to get people to do what you want especially if they are of money so they find somebody that works for the church the guard of the church they find out that he likes money big surprise so they tell him listen how much money is it you free our friend oh your friend's expensive okay okay how much how much listen if they catch me it's okay okay how much how much he tells them a huge amount no problem will'll get it to you listen you don't have that much time I we'll get it to you says I don't know if they're going to get it they're not going to get it it's going to take some time I have the amount he has the amount because his uh father-in-law gave them a big present when they got married he's Rich gave big present to his daughter to make sure that she's okay here he takes everything the father-in-law gave their entire life savings from the safe without telling his wife and goes and gives it to the Christian he says here free my friend the rest of the K comes to the and says okay we got we got part of the money he goes ah don't worry don't worry uh I uh your friend R you already paid me the full amount your friend is already free so the comes to we want a piece of the we got half the money goes wow hey you want me to share want me to share the Mitzvah no I already did it I already did it I already did the Mitzvah I can't sell you mitvah I already did it so they got all the money but now mitvah it's already too late but now has to deal with the consequences what's the consequences is to tell his wife that they're poor now he's scared to tell his wife what does he do he goes he says okay I'll be back he goes to the co and hides there for a week he hides in the C for a week after a week passes you have to go home during that week the Christian comes to his wife's comes to his house and he's under pressure he's like listen here and he gives her three buckets full of diamonds and gold and money money he goes here give this to your husband she goes what is this for he says listen they caught me at the church I've been stealing money for them from years and they saw there something fishy with this prisoner ran away and it's under my control and they want to kill me so I have to run away I can't take all this money so if I survive I know that your husband is so honest that he's going to give me the money back and if he do if I don't survive I want him to have it she goes why you want him to have it why you like my husband so much you're Christian he says because your husband is a real Jew he was willing to sacrifice everything he has just to save another Jew just to say everything you guys had he gave me he told me he gave everything you have she doesn't even know yet she doesn't even know she's finding out from the he gave me everything you have to save his friend to save another Jew so he deserves it if I survive I know he's honest enough that he's going give it back to me if I don't survive I want him to have it so he gives her these three buckets full of diamonds and gold and everything comes home later that day he doesn't know what to do he still he doesn't know what happened he's coming home I'm GNA tell her I'm GNA tell her no no I'm not going to tell her I'm gonna tell her I'm not going to tell her I'm going tell her I'm not going to tell I'm going to do he comes to the house his wife is happy and cheering and singing look what your god did for you look what your god did for you look what your lover did for you look what your lover did for you or who loves me oh God why why you saying God loves me look what he did for you look you gave a little bit of our money what we had a little bit that we have look how much reward he gave you three buckets full of gold and thousand times more what do you do now honestly what do you do at this moment you're what do you do you start singing start singing We love you right he singing what does he do he starts hysterical crying Shalom starts hysterical crying because he knows the truth he says o paid me reward in this world hasem paid me reward in this world that means he doesn't like myah he doesn't like my mitvah and I know why he doesn't like my Mitzvah because I didn't share the I didn't share I took it all to myself he says oh you took it all to yourself I'll give you all the reward here then you want all the mitvah to yourself fine I'll give you the reward to yourself to O what do I do to my connection with hem o Bo look what I'm going do with all what am I'm going to do with all this money all this garbage what am I'm going to do with this garbage my connection with hasem is is is is hurt that's a lover of hem you understand people say no no I love hem I love H what you love hm you love his money give you you love the wife he gave you the husband he gave you the kids what do you love hhm loving hem is like what a a says even if he would to destroy me I would still serve him the Shalom says what does this mean it says it means that if hasem says from now on every mitvah you do you're GNA go to Gom for and every you go to G what do you do I'm asking you a question okay from now on he says every mitvah as a says from now on every you do you're going to go to G and every sin now you're going to go to GED can anyone honestly say they would even fulfill one mitvah for for the rest of their life or they're all going to do sins I'm not going to embarrass you but I'll be the first one to no no no why because we're selfish we're selfish people we're selfish people we want to go to ganeden we care less about because we don't love him we love ourselves what is the B says even if hasem tells me that every mitvah I go to G I'm still doing the Mitzvah because I know that's his will and even when I go up to sh the says I go up to sh they tell me listen you got to go to kaf oh great said fight he run he run oh I'm what do you mean you're going to suffer yeah that's what wants if that's what Hashem wants let it be suffering that's loving hem meaning We're Dreaming when we say I love hem what I love hem you love yourself understood he understood what it means to connect to AEM and what's at risk when we're disconnected he says I did a Mitzvah I gave everything I had but it was incomplete Mitzvah why it was selfish selfish you have to share the Mitzvah share the Mitzvah and that's why for us to do mitv it's not just about doing something it's about doing it completely there's all the connection with hm is all about meaning complete you want your mitv to be complete
