Special Story For All Leaders & Rabbi's (9 Minutes) by Rabbi Yaron Reuven

[Music] there's another story in page 54b this story I heard for the first time on yumol five years ago the story never made sense until you hear it like 10 times and you learn other parts of the Torah so there was a person by name of RAB pra R pra was one of the one of the Giants of the generation and he had a special he had a special way a special gift from sham what he had one student that had a special level of stupidity what kind of stupidity this person could not learn anything unless you told him this 400 times you had to repeat the same thing 400 times in order for him to understand it and it's not a student in hisa and he's got 10,000 people and this is just one of them no this is what he is teaching himself oneon-one he says no one else is going to have patience for him I'm going to teach him so every day he sits down with him okay says okay yes okay number two 400 times the same verse after 400 times the student says oh I got it and then they move on to something else one day RAB pra tells them listen son I have to today I have an appointment so we have to make sure that we study carefully that you get it after the 400 time no problem they go they teach one two three four five 400 times 400 times he says okay so you got it no no l what happen every day after 400 times giant you GA after 400 times why come today no he goes to be honest with you the minute you told me that you have to you're in a hurry today that we have to make sure to I couldn't think the whole time maybe he's going to go now maybe he's going to leave now maybe he has to go maybe we're not going to get to 400 maybe we're only going to get to 390 maybe he's leaving maybe somebody's coming the whole time I'm thinking about something else I couldn't focus about what you're saying 400 times says you're right I'm not going let's start again let's start again 400 times I cancel my appointment and they sit down and they learn it again 400 times after the 400 time he gets it leaves the sky opens and a butt call comes out TOA it says because because you broke your own midot you overcame your own nature which by defa Fall was already amazing the fact that you're able to teach somebody something 400 times once in your life let alone every day you broke your own nature and overcame even that we have decide change everything hasem decided that you have a choice we're here to give you a message what's the message you have a choice what is it you can either live 400 years just like the 400 times you taught extra today or everyone in your generation getsa says let everybody get he said because you chose for the better of the nation you're also going to live 400 years he's actually one of the people that actually lived 400 years even in the days of the so now now I asked this qu I mean the story is great but I'm asking myself a question if he's he's giant he could revive somebody from the dead through his prayers is learning every time he learns it's like Mount sa all over again why would Hashem waste his time on some imbecile that needs to be taught the same thing 400 times let him have a student let him have a student like why is he bringing ail a fool that needs to be taught the same thing 400 times this is what I asked myself for years he's he's not like a listen he's not just come out of school himself he's in uh fifth grade the other guy's in fourth grade either way he's got to learn it no this say imagine oh can you teach me something sure but I need to teach me 400 times okay sure every day 400 times you're going to learn 400 times you after a while the student start feeling embarrassed why would Hashem do such a thing why would he take his precious Torah time and invested into someone that's considered ail a fool why anybody have an [Music] answer you're allowed to guess the reason why is because every time you learn every time you learn for example in the beginning ofar it teaches you something critical you're supposed to say May It Be Your Willem my God that a mishap not come about through me meaning that I don't make a mistake through my studies and may I not stumble in a matter of and cause my colleagues to Rejoice over me meaning that I I failed and other people make fun of me why because then they lose their Allah for making fun of me and I may not say regarding something which is T that it's to meaning that I because through my faulty judgments and my bad learning I decided something that's T is really or that something that's T is really T something that's pure it's impure or pure that's or impure is pure meaning I make the opposite and may my colleagues not stumble in a matter of Law and I Rejoice over them meaning may I never get to such through my studies and I learn a lot of stuff but I instead of becoming a that also as good M do I start have becoming arrogant because of my learning so I see other people fail and I Rejoice why because then I losea anyway and then it says a verse a a portion in page 28b it says for hasem Grants wisdom for his mouth come know from his mouth come knowledge and understanding of God unveil my eyes that I may perceive wonders from your Torah this is actually a verse in Proverbs so here is something you say every time you learn to why did I mention this to you is because Proverbs is is the wisest man of all time the wisest man of all time is teaching you that knowledge is not something you're going to get simply by studying knowledge of Torah is a gift from God you could learn the same book a thousand times and still not get it another person can learn it a half half a time half a time and already get the whole thing why Hashem gave him and he didn't give you [Music]
