I once heard
climbing a ladder
and you're going up
if you look down you fall down
never look down always look up
Wayside
in kippers around the corner we're
middle of the assassins
and if we look down
at ourselves and others we're gonna fall
down
if we look up
we're gonna go up higher and higher
Lord Make Me High make me high right
yesterday was
Mother's yard site
a very Pious righteous woman
86 87 years old
and
much of her life
was
in difficult situations
from the 1880s the program started
the Russian Japanese war in 1905.
1914 World War one 1917 the of
the revolution
the 20 Stalin comes into
a situation
her husband is taken away in 1939 and
passes on in 1944
she's in a DP Camp after and survives
together with the other lab comes to
America comes to France 47 that ever
picks her up brings her to America and
she said her best years with were were
here in America with her son that ever
when you look at a person's life and
you're honest you're not
in fantasy mode but you're really honest
you want to assess
your life someone else's life you need
to see the whole picture
if you only see part of the picture
it's not a real assessment
the data is not there you need the full
data
and it's difficult to get full data
especially going back to Europe
but with enough
learning and enough listening and enough
reading
and especially listening to what the rep
has said about his mother during the
years
of the fabrangians
and today we have
Hashem her memoirs that she wrote
herself at least some of them
you get a glimpse into her life
and what comes out
is that it was difficult
say here's a person that could be
feel very disappointed
very dejected
but she always looked at The Greener
Side of Things
and if that's not an adequate lesson for
us I don't know what is it is
a lesson
especially now as we go into Shabbos and
we go into Yom Kippur
and it's intense
these 10 days are very intense days
whether whether your slice it this way
or you slice it that way it's days of
all
right days of you know
in the days of simcha
and yes the out there ever teaches
and all the wonderful things and it's
Emma's
the question is whether
I you we identify with it
and if we live it and if we feel it
so Sidis
gives a beautiful recipe to
inculcate
and to internalize this more and more
and what is that
through learning cities
through davening with cavana
through being focused and through
farbraining
when ye didn't sit together whether it
be at a kiddish or a fabranging and it
doesn't become a party of drinking and
freshing
no it it you can eat chunks and kiss you
can cuckoo but
in a relaxed way relax
and more important than the food is the
Titan the content of the fabrangin
the gun
to sing a Negan 10-15 minutes not to
rush oh we're bored we let's go on to
another one
when you do that and especially when you
do it you keep it under your Talus
or in a corner
and you focus
then you go up then you don't go down
then these 10 intense days become
the greatest Aliyah the greatest growth
method
growth doesn't come without pain
everyone knows that
so the a position help that we should be
to the ghoulishment to the true
Redemption to the ultimate Redemption
and in the schools of Rebecca
the rapper's mother who gave us
our special wonderful red
who continues to lead us today
not just see them but Claudia slow as
you could see from the thousands of
people who are not khabar to come to the
oil who learns to this in one way or the
other wherever they are who are open to
Chabad who gives
it's no longer just the Chabad party
yeah you have people who will argue that
but those are people who have an agenda
someone doesn't have an agenda
knows that the rappers work
continues now we have to internalize
everyone should have a massive material
with honey and sweetness
and to fulfill all the pratham all the
details kapadas and honey cake
and Lady the candles on that of him
keeper and Marcus and mcpher and
saintilen khabar custom aftermarket say
the hotel and whatever
and then you go through Yom Kippur but
take please take a few minutes of
solemn quietness
which will bring Solace and peace
and Harmony and really and inside inside
and if there's an issue that bothers you
which there are
okay deal with it
there are ways of dealing with it many
times you you have to avert it push it
aside it's not the right time other
times it is the right time
well they put their health in should all
have a maximum
and this will bring us to hagasukis
chance
