Sacrifice your Ego - R Avraham Mayore's words to an impressionable teenager - Torah Vayeira 2022

so this week his Shabbos I remind myself in conjunction with the Arcada The Binding of yitzhuk in lieu of a hamor and Louis I'm sorry move a sacrifice we all you know bring it and say it bring it our attention and we say it on the yamana the days of War and the arcaders and we we say to Hashem and that's who's in that Merit that our ancestor of Rome and yet we're willing to do this we should be blessed and we should be have a good year and have only brothers and blessings on and on and on I knew a year this name is as a 13 14 year old in 1913 1914 he learned there for many many years and I had opportunity to talk them many many times and to hear him and to listen this is when I was a teenager an older teenager and I started to form ideas and look at the world and what's going on and have questions and meeting such a youth with his wonderful beautiful long white beard and his Keen sense of understanding his it was a clue he was sharp a sharp cookie smart he wasn't he wasn't foolish it wasn't a Gnar and at times I would say it above room so what about this and discuss it what's what's your opinion about this and discuss it and he said and I thought about about this concept that he was God's gift to humanity he was a good he was unbelievable and of some kind of purported he didn't say anything negative what do you think about this hasid and he said no like big deal no and then he saw that something was bothering me that I a guy was flabbergasted I mean here we I mentioned these two Great Cuts in them and his response was less than enthusiastic so he said to me you're probably wondering why I responded the way I did so let me tell you across it what I saw and what my barometer of this is someone who is ready to allow himself to be shakter to be slaughtered like at the Acadia like it's hook and we in Russia he says those of us who are ready to be shifted for the existence of yiddishkite and what our rep is that abeian wanted particularly the free the cadabra during the hardest of times those that were ready to give up everything their wife their children their their money their Community their rabbit and their and their God because this is what needs to be done now it's an it's a time of Crisis crisis where even the minutest submission to stalinism and Company is tantamount to worshiping an idol that was the view that Abram mayor was sharing with this young impressionable 18 19 year old 20 year old and it hit me that this is why he said about those others and they were great they Daven for many hours and they knew I said this and they did it to Docker and they knew but they didn't they weren't they didn't go for the shrita maybe they didn't need to go for the street but the bottom line is they were not tested like Yitzhak enough Rumble tested so now you understand when the Torah says Hashem says he died for now I know of from that you are you really came a God-fearing person why now what about the previous nine tests that I've run went through when he succeeded and you risk his life until this night 10th test one could have interpreted those nine as silk and grandizement in one way or the other but this test taking your only son is your only son meaning you're small Etc and slaughtering him when you just told me God when you told me I'll make you commissary I'll make from your children a great nation I'll make of you a great nation how could that be you're killing you're telling me to kill my son bring him as a sacrifice it's an oxymoron what you're telling me I've robbed in the question avram says you want me to bring him to the the self-sacrifice is where it's at now Baruch Hashem thank God today we don't have this thisillion generally don't have this avoida this test this trial but in concept that exists every day to be able to give away of yourself without any without any calculations doesn't make sense does not make sense how much are going to profit how much I'm not going to lose is what the rabbit wants it's not what he wants and all of these calculations both physical and spiritual in other words what we're emphasizing here is that even a spiritual calculation is a calculation of limitation that's not going to the that's not being slaughtered that's not real Mr snuffish that's a limited mysterious Snapfish and listen we need hell if I we should have more of that limited mysterious efforts as well but nevertheless when we learned this part I remind myself of what I Brahma it's like he's standing in front of me you know with his beard instead of 70 standing over there against the wall he would toilet where's this bill like this you know talking and I was you know I was this little snook nothing and and and hasid them are walking all around it was it was a little 10 11. it was already after diving again she was 11 11 30. uh during the week and he left me with this message and I share it with you and I hope it will give us the right perspective to continue serving Hashem and Hashem will bless us with Cult of cell only good but tell Anita vanilla revealed wishing him good health good children and the icker will be sorry to see mashiach with our physical eyes now beautiful
