One time there was a man named he wasn't
exactly a rabbi but they called him.
Poor as dirt but righteous
as poor can possibly be. He studied his
Torah. He did his business. But what
could he do? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing
was paying. nothing was doing as poor as
can possibly be.
It gets to a point of
starvation. It gets to a point of no
food,
suffering. It's tough.
But he's not worried about that.
What is he worried about? He's worried
about that for almost two decades that
he's been married to his wife, they
haven't had a son. They haven't had a
child. The only thing they can think
about day and night is having a child.
And they can't have a child. Sad. Praise
to Hashem.
But what else could he possibly do?
One day the poverty continues. You know,
in those days, it's either you were
extremely rich, few, or you're poor as
can possibly be. There was no middle
class.
One day he finds a stone in a field.
He doesn't know much about stones, but
he brings it to his wife. His wife
brings the stone to the local expert.
Local expert says, "This is a priceless
stone. This is something that's you have
no idea. This you're you're you're the
richest people in in in the country.
Forget about in the town. here, take a
couple thousand dollars to buy groceries
and do whatever it is that you want, but
this is a stone that I'm more than happy
to sell for you if you give me the uh
the honor to sell it for you.
Please,
obviously them striking rich overnight.
Wonderful. The guy puts it on the
market.
Little by little, people come in to see,
wow, this precious stone, beautiful to,
but no one can afford it.
One day they get a couple of messengers
from a different country. Say, yes, the
king of some country.
One of the uh he's looking for a
specific stone and uh we want the uh
owner of this stone is perfect
is perfect for what he's looking for. So
where's the owner? Oh, the owner is a
beat hockey. Hey, bring him here. Okay,
listen. We're leaving tomorrow morning.
You're going to come meet our king and
we'll give you whatever you want for
this stone cuz he needs it cuz it just
the uh this was the eye in this in his
statue. So, knows he doesn't have much
of a choice here.
If he says, "I'm not going, they're
going to kill him." So, now his wife
doesn't have a kid or a husband.

If he says yes and he goes to this
king,
he's going to be partner to Abu Dam.
He's partnered to Abu Dam.
He doesn't know what to do and prays to
Hashem to give him something to do
something. The next day they go on,
they go on a boat.
He has the stone in his hand the whole
time. He doesn't know what to do, what
to do, what to do. They're on a boat,
the sea starts rocking, and he gets a
brilliant idea. I'm going to throw the
stone in the water.
He throws the stone in the water, makes
it pretend as if
it fell out of his hand,
and then he pretends like he went crazy
for losing the stone. They arrive at the
seashore
like, "Oh, where's the guy with the
stone? We heard you wrote us letters.
Where the guy with the stone? We heard
it's the stone." He go, "No, no, it's
this guy." Goes, "What do you mean? It's
a drunk." You know, it's a crazy person.
This guy goes, "No, no, you don't
understand this guy. Don't even touch
him. Just don't even bother with this
guy. Poor guy. He just had a priceless
$20 million stone and he just lost it.
Don't even touch him. Like, we already
feel bad enough for him.
put him on the next boat to go back to
wherever he came from.
Troy, they put him on a boat. They send
him home. As soon as he comes home,
he gets off the boat.
This old man right off the boat covered
up,
comes up closer to him and closer to
him, closes him, and then he grabs him
really fast. Because you are going to
have a son
that's going to light the world.
Because you took something that was
worth priceless to man
but was against Hashem.
And he says that his eyes were like that
diamond.
And when he came home, he told his wife,
I believe I just saw Ali Navi
and their son that was born a year
later. His name is Rashi.
That's me.
That's me. Can any of us that have food
to eat,
have roofs over our head, not worried
about lunch tomorrow or dinner next
week, would you give up 20, 30, $50
million,
just not be partner of Abu Dhab that you
can't even see or just make pretend like
you didn't see it and you don't know
that it's happening.
Ah, it's their business whatever they're
doing. I just sold them the diamond.
What do I care what they do with it?
That's the Greek in us. That's the asab
in us. No, it's what's my problem what
they're doing with the rock. What's my
problem? What they do with this? What's
my problem? It is your problem.
You're not thinking with a pure mind.
You're thinking with the thinking with
