[Music] new Idol battalion climbers have claimed the Bennish high was a tremendous tremendous gone bitola he was without a doubt it's a dick he said Allah were the foundations of the world his righteousness his pious knees is Cassie dirt was something that wasn't from the 1913 hundreds sometimes it's a load a person that was called cool Abdullah he was an expert and a master in the Talmud in the post scheme in the Kabbalah but he knew how to go down to the people giving sure women writing books for men women children every single one and the old level and are they amazing over a hundred years since he passed away you have tens of thousands of people around the world that have his word at the final war they accepted eyes closed period that's the influence that the British high hat in the world now I'm not gonna tell over his life story I just want to share with you one simple lesson from his life that I hope could penetrate your hearts and maybe you take it into your own personal lives but I'll I'll accomplish this by by starting off with the story that nothing to do with the banished guy in fact this story probably is not even true I think it's more of a joke but it definitely helps me get to where I want to get to there was a Hasidic man that was those who Shane married wife children beautiful but unfortunately when it came to Palestine like they say in Hebrew Allah penny I wasn't too good didn't have much luck when it came to finances every single month was a struggle just to break even just to cover his basic costs just to get the ends meet and this happened month after month year after year every investment he tried went down the drain so he sat down with his wife and he said to her my dear wife we have both Hashem 10 children I'm not fulfilling my obligation in terms of feeding these children in terms of sheltering his children I have I have a plan I wanna maybe go work out of this city I'll go to a different state and based on all that she maybe she knew my clothes you know my cell I'll change my location I'll get Mama's out and I'll be away from me for a few weeks a few months and by the shame the wife starts crying obviously this is a very tough thing for her to leave to be separated from her husband for so long but so many children but she had no choice she gave him his blessings the blessings and he went on his way three four weeks later he arrives at his destination he comes you know the concilium boca share one thing we have to look at that means they're very proud of their dress you know whether it is Shrine Bowl or the or the long you know the log packages the jackets and the pace you know one day we'll see that that our budding you're wearing the turban that gets one of these days they're Sicilian have a certain pride they have a certain pride telling you have to look up to and he goes dressed up in his regular City Guard both was yeah he gets a job and he's flourishing my mash play another after a few months four or five months he has enough money for another two years so he sends his wife a telegram his letter he says my dear wife I'll be back home in about three four weeks he won't believe the miracles we're rich we have a bond everything to settle the wife freezes she celebrates she tells the kid they're dancing they're having a great time and the man starts finding his way back to his home country one week into the journey and his journey with his suitcase full of cash suddenly out of nowhere he gets tackled from behind his hat flies off his head he got onto the ground clutching onto his suitcase and the person puts a gun to his head he says give me all the money or else the guys holding onto it dearly trying to fight him off and he puts the gun even tighter into his bodies as give it to me now or else he has no choice he lets go the suitcase the man grabs it starts running ten fifteen twenty feet away and the Hasidic man stands up and he says you're destroying my life you ruin my life I have ten children my wife's waiting for me I'm gonna come back home with no money she won't believe me you destroyed my life and this guy actually stopped I guess he had a country he felt bad he stopped there about 20 feet away from each other and then the Hasidic man says sure just do me one favor you see my my fur hat just fell off you know I see them we believe in miracles just do me a favor shoot the the fur hat to three times give me a few bullet holes through the Hat I'll tell my wife that someone tried killing and he shot me in the head they hit my hat but he escaped with the money but these are my life the guy says you know what it's a deal I'll do that for you he tells them how they had the old the fur hat to the side and and this robber starts shooting three bullets right to the top of the shrine room except sitting man puts it on the guy says it looks beautiful perfect story for your wife he says thank you very much I really appreciate it as the guys about to leave he says wait tell me one favor I had my long jacket my won't cook maybe give me two three bullets through the coat as well let's make this story look a little bit more he says listen I have a lot of work to do to Jack take off your jacket let's make it happen takes off his jacket he holds it to the side the guy again three bullets when I threw the jacket he puts it on he has three holes on the Hat three holes on the jacket it's a classic story as the man's about to leave as a man's about to leave he says just one last favor you see this robber has a lot of my notes a little pity does what do you want now - listen if you really want to make this story sound so you know we have a prayer shawl at a leak the Tallis you know let me quickly take out of my bag shoot that three times and then I can tell my wife I was praying to God in the shower Lincoln during shot early the guy shot me nine times all nine bullets missed but you stole the money the guy says chick shot take it out let's go let's make it happen takes a little eat and he starts pulling the trigger no more bullets this is what happens I have no more bullets no no check your pocket I have no more bullets I need this please I have no more bullets so that's a scene comes over to him to the air no more bullets knocks him out takes this suitcase and he runs away no evil bow tie I think we all realize it's not a true story but this joke has a very big lesson every single one of us we're gonna share all every single one of us this past year dodged a lot of bullets if you didn't dodge any bullets this year you've dodged many bullets in your lifetime how many times they're happy now you were sick for two three four or five days maybe a week or two and you felt like oh I can't get out of it and those eyes show me back on your feet or sometimes you were done you're dozing off while you're driving you're driving late at night you dozing off and in Boca shame I almost got the car accident you veered off to the right you're arrived home safely so many different scenarios in our lives where could've by both Hashimi did it and the question is what did you do after you dodged that bullet did you make any changes or did life continue as usual you see climates have claimed another shell on the Benesch line when he was about six seven years old he dodged a very big bullet he was playing with his little sister older sister and somebody somehow they got too close to a certain well and a semi loved him his little boy falls right into the well his sisters are screaming help help my brother he's drowning is this he's mad I think what the whole neighborhood comes out the mother the father the neighbors everyone's acted he see the boy lifeless in the bottom of the pit of the world somebody somehow to get us a group he sent someone down they take the boy out no available tag not breathing nothing the doctors come medical they do whatever they can and they tell the parents that unfortunate doesn't seem like there's gonna be a good ending over here and you will continue with Calum they prayed back and forth client that good old beau hope the doctors were working and Starbucks rémoulade he started coughing he started crying yourself claim was still alive he survived ladies and gentlemen his parents came something to eat to drink he went to sleep next morning he woke up had no clue inhabiting his parents told him the story the Miss Emily flower that the Lundy frame the miracle accepted frame and really further all of Chloe's life and the boy at that moment says hi EEMA I'm dedicating my life to a Cutlass vocal Toa mitts vote yes it might seem to me period nothing else interests me here we have a 7 year old boy 6-7 your boy a child the got a message and you responded to the message and that in a positive fashion that's beyond our understanding no live elbow tie every one of us have had some sort of miracle once you reach a certain age you've had to have some trials and tribulations in life where you both crushed em overcame it did we wake up to the message or not it allowed to be a tragedy where your life even comes to that came even something simple but ever a little peon while running the great ballet most Isles in the past century one time he was in his she was sitting by the stairs and one of the students Caesars prominent rabbi sitting by the stairs but a lot of rabbit what are you doing here he says no I'm fine don't worry bad but but what otherwise thing my stairs I fell down the stairs so let me help eh I call a doctor no no no I'm probably fine so won't you get up Sophie on tells this the hula student he says Hashem made me fall down the stairs and you want me just to get up and pretend nothing happened let me just do some introspection see what was the who wants for me no rival a bow ties so many stumbling blocks we have a life so many frustrations you ever think what is the same one for me what can I do back for a shame what can I do back for me saying this is how the girl a cell lived but the bellies shy when the story happened was until he was seven year old boy with a kid that means greatness you're not born with greatness you gotta work you gotta do stuff introspection and that's two o'clock Somerset claim was there's a lot to say oh gosh I'm we have many great speakers the no available Tolly I think now that word quality rule closure Simoncelli Code Red the heel of the finish line let's not celebrate just by eating drinking and listen some beautiful music let's celebrate by taking a commitment I'll do something different this out coming here and we'll take a couple up on myself I'll learn a little bit more self-control work on my me doubt my character traits every single one based on your own level do something extra do something narrabeen achievers always say don't complain about what you don't have be grateful SM doesn't give you what you really deserve we don't deserve what we do have courage Lee let's be grateful have a class at 12 look you're alive your world you're talking eating you're drinking you have a nice community a bit of a wrap that is good yes we have challenges but let's try to do let's do back in return that godus vocal I would suggest to the men maybe take it by yourself another man if you're Iraqi your Persian you smile at the Ashkenazi you could take the selfie I'll banish hi he writes yet said everyone does now for me it's a beautiful concept anywhere in the world you go I was over the same page of Camelot you know I'm except I'm sorry this without a hot and a weekly basis certain Halle hot to cover every single week and if you learn is hella hot no avail but I even if you don't follow his method about you have a different origin you're considered much Canady make the difference but the way he writes he motivates you to keep them it's vote he motivates you it gets you excited he shows you the beauty behind the Mitzvah so maybe one thing you could do is every day learn how to saw through the berries fly we have a man that took the message he got a wake-up call he took it to heart and my wife Abu Taha diem is a hysto lies all over the world defining his manuscripts in Iraq and being printed those a shame his audience of high he's definitely still alive in in terms of how his toys all over the world yeah that's own resolution of every single one of us should really do teshuva ulema we should get close to the college ball hope learn from a sign learn from a slur what it means to come close to a shame no one has to become the banished high no one's to become anything yet to just become the best you could become and you know what your faults are you know what your capabilities your potential run with it make it happen and there's a lot of shame we should all get together always it's my heart and hopefully by next year we shall all be already in your shrine Mueller kodesh with all the greats I became in the epidemic - we may not be ameno omena a [Music] [Applause] [Music]
