this week we had zion heisman
it's something that's really not spoken
about much here
in erits israel they begin
saying
the saint talo motto
and
i have a personal story to share with
you but first
to continue
thoughts and memories of rabio
i remember shabbos gimmel thomas about
five six years ago rabial was here for
shabbos at borough park
and friday night at a soda in someone's
home
and i printed this in my book already so
you could
read it and should read it
with more details
he he commented he says you know he's
not into
telling stories of miracles with the
rebbe
which has become over since kimotamo's
very popular
you know uh miracle stories
and other people that grab a label
groener all over shalom
made a big campaign to do that even
after giving thomas to share what they
called all health stories or stories
from the io
to continue building their mundane
vis-a-vis
in this case the rabbit
rabbi yo-yo
said at this shabazo that wasn't the way
he was trained
and he intimated too that in a sense
that wasn't the style of
chabad
although miracles were
prevalent
and as the saying goes
they rolled under the table they were
there but they were under the table
and he went on to share a story with the
altareba
from the kutidiburim which had a very
profound message so what he taught us
and and as a student since i was a
student in yeshiva
for many years
you know that was the whole approach was
to bring out the sake of the the the
intellect and
the the thought the depth
within a story
and
connecting to abraham connecting to the
river so even if you said a story
that was
more of the miraculous nature
of that but it wasn't with
oh there ever made the person have a
baby in there but this there ever that
it was said with
a thoughtfulness bringing you into a
deep and profound understanding of the
issue and then the result naturally is
that of course
is able to do these things
it was
nineteen i believe it was 1987.
i think november of 1987 my wife was
returning from a lamaze class it's a
pregnancy class she was seven months
pregnant with my oldest child my son
and um
it was not 10 10 30 at night and she was
uh we lived in california at that time
in marin county
over there
and uh it was eleven o'clock that night
was leo zion
drab of a brain
i take that back so it was 1985
85 i think
anyway
the
she wasn't home a half an hour an hour
or did you know she wasn't home the
normal time i got worried
if i i heard if i bring it on the hook
up
and about 11 o'clock i see these bright
lights in the front window and lo and
behold she walks in with a tall officer
behind and he says to me rabbi you have
what to be
thankful to god for
and i asked him so what happened well
she was driving on the 101 freeway out
in california in lane number four i
believe play number one she was being
cha
she was hit by a
drunk driver who was
going at the speed of 90 miles an hour
being chased by the police
it hit her in the back the car spun
around from lane one to lane four
she uh put her shadow back on took her
seat belt off and she says i'm here
and
then she came home and walked in the
miracle happened her life was spared
and our son was born hashem
complete and
whole
i called rabbi raichik
the
mashipia mai mashbir
in los angeles and he said for this and
i asked him like what's the message here
and he said for this you need to ask the
rabbit so i wrote to the rebel letter
just to get it off my chest following
robert reichik's directives
and i forgot about it i gave to dhaka
and about two months later i think it
was january or february of the following
year
a few months later
one day i
opened my mail and i see there's a
letter from the debit there addressed to
me
the letter
was written shortly thereafter
that i wrote to him
for some reason i didn't get it until a
few months later
and that ever wished standard bracha
which there's nothing standard about
ibrahimovic masadek it's precise to
everyone and exact
wishing that my wife have a healthy
continued healthy pregnancy and delivery
and all of that and then came the the
bomb the bombs
regarding your question what is the
lesson
from the previous mentioned
episode and occurrence that you write
about
goethe
because
importance of alacrity
in all matters of goodness
and the rabbi went on with another few
lines to quote rashi and pashpatim that
not only won't you be ill but and and be
cured but to begin with you won't be ill
and then the great merit of sadaka helps
for all of this and he'll pray for
us at the
uh
the message was an opening into the soul
to my soul and to the situation
but because the driver seemingly this is
the connection because the driver was
driving very very fast
that ebb says that represents us
quickness
alacrity not to procrastinate
is a procrastinator
you bring something home you put it on
the table you put it on the couch oh
i'll get to it now put it away now
someone asks you to do something i'll
get to it to do it now
and that ever says
he doesn't say because
don't procrastinate when it comes to all
matters of goodness not just taito
mitzvahs but anything that's neutral but
it's good
and you have an opportunity that came
your way
to act upon it don't procrastinate
this was the message that i lived with
for many many years about ten years ago
i was learning the mimer that ever said
that night
leo
mem hey i believe was mem hey
and in the middle of the my mind that
ebba speaks about
this week's passion
the quickness the alacrity of avraham
aveeno vayashima baker abram gets up in
the morning and he
does
he takes yitzhak and he takes them for
the arcade and all that
the idea of zirizos
and if you learn the mimer really and
you understand what the rebbe is saying
the before and after the content it
doesn't really belong there it doesn't
need to be said
and i feel that that ebber already
planted in the mimer that he said
the refuge
the healing before the pain
he saw that
something's happening out there with one
of his hasidim
one of the shlokhim one of his yiden
and he
said
the positive aspect of
jesus
which countered the terrible accident
caused by the quickness of speed
to me this is like ravioli would explain
the stories if i may say so
you know to say oh that ever oh he
foresaw and this is a big miracle
i'll let you decide how you want to take
the story the fact is this happened
in this physical world
the letter we have
this is real this isn't a bubba mice a
figment of someone's imagination
and i believe it's partial
design what the rabbit says teaches us
that a yid should have obviously said
because we don't have begin to ask for
rain until the last yid returns their
home after making allele the pilgrimage
to yerushalayim and you don't want it to
rain on them before they reach homes you
wait till zion
which is the last
day
uh how long it took someone to get back
home in your inaudible
you have an opportunity to do a yi the
favor do it with zwiezus alacrity
quickness
swiftness
don't cross
it it's it's this idea of
procrastination is a mahler
it's a malady
it's a malady that stifles us
so that ever shared this with me in a
letter and i'm sharing with you today
tough shin pay bass
as we begin the avoid of uh
yakov
we're ready
and we're soon coming to kiss slave
so we got to get to work today not
tomorrow
and the same is true with every aspect
in life
from your health to your wealth to your
business to your relationships
to marriage
don't cross hashem should help us we
should do all this basiimha with
tremendous joy matuv lev and as the
miracle
and experience that we had so many years
ago and we revisited and relive it every
zion husband i wish each and every one
of you
to
to have the same experience in your life
in the in a positive way
and also
to continue learning from the masjid or
mashbeer khan important lessons of how
to serve
better and to connect to the rabbit and
sadik better and this will be done
through the coming of mashiach because
of mamash good shabbos
