The Choice is Yours | Rabbi Yechiel Spero

The day has finally arrived. Today's the day. After years, it seems like, of campaigning, of the Republicans and the Democrats, of Trump and Biden and now Harris. Today is the day that we choose the next president of the United States of America. You have to go and you have to vote. Why? Because the choice is yours. No, it's not. We must vote because the Gedolim tell us we must vote. But who will become president? That is decided by HaKadosh Baruch Hu. המלוכה והממשלה The Ribono shel Olam determines who the kings will be. There is only one thing, one thing in all of creation, that Hashem has entrusted us with, where he's told us, this is your choice. And that... is Yi’ras Shomayim. When you're walking down the street and you are tempted to look in a certain direction at something that's inappropriate, the choice is yours, only yours. You will determine, you will decide who the future will be, who you will be, who your children will be, who the future of the Jewish people will be. So yes, we hope and we pray, אם ירצה השם, that everything should go well for America, and we should be zoche to a great present. But far more importantly, we hope and we pray that we should be zoche to become everything that we can possibly be.
