It's important to to like, what did you
say?
It's
it's
It's always important to nail the time,
where you're holding, what you're
holding. Hey. And it's before slices of
Allah, so the typical thing today, we'll
learn it together would be to focus on
force.
Would be to sit in this today and I just
was able to come from the base Jacob and
here certainly we learned the issue of
us.
Like like regards from Miriam, Miriam
was there. So it it's normal to focus on
on the thing where on the thing where
and we were holding and that's the right
thing. Sometimes though something for
all different reasons could be on your
mind
and and go there. That's what's on your
mind, that's what you're thinking about,
that's what's
so
and it's always funny when to do what,
when do you say this is this is the
season, why are you talking about that
and when do you say but this is on my
mind. I'm very very into like accepting
of a sham if I'm literally have had
times going up to a speech and a certain
thing like like over like that's what I
was thinking so I switched the speech
and it could be no shyness like what do
you do?
I feel there's a shocker in that. So I
want to speak about something that is
not specifically related to us at all.
I want to read a letter to the ever here
that
I it means a lot to me this letter. It
start I've I've known about this letter
for years and it's for some reason it
like talks much more things alike that
I've read this letter years ago and it
did not mean much to me being honest.
And I read it now and it's like I feel
it. I've gone through my own story.
So it could be going through that the
letter means more. Even early in the
year of Aveilus, I reread the letter.
I've read it recently and I was like,
"Wow." It like hit. So, I want to learn
this with my friends, if you don't mind.
It's in Alei Shur. Alei Shur is a safer
of Rav Wolbe
just to tell you who Rav Wolbe is. The
Mashgiach of the Mir Yeshiva.
Rav Wolbe understood people. I say the
Mashgiach, he spoke, he wasn't formally
called Rav Ezriel Wolbe. Making a face.
I'm sorry. He was not a I should be
exact. He was not formally called the
Mashgiach of the Mir Yeshiva. I call him
the Mashgiach cuz he spoke in the slot
for the Mashgiach every other week. He
rotated.
>> from personal experience?
>> Yeah. Okay. Of sorts. No, of sorts he
was Mashgiach. He was not It's important
It's important Rav Ezriel Truth is
truth. He was never formally called the
Mashgiach of the Mir Yeshiva. I only
call him They had him speak and say
shmuessen in the Mir, so I call him the
Mashgiach of the Mir. He was not
formally given that title. He spoke. He
was the Mashgiach of the Yeshiva Bnei
Brak.
Yes, who was who was the Rosh Yeshiva.
Now, Rav Wolbe was somebody who knew
people very, very well.
He saw you, he knew you to the core of
your being. His understanding of people
was way was like legit, like very
extreme. We had what are they guys who
would have a vaad in his house. He was
already very old. He
sh- tickle was part of their vaad. They
would meet in his house and learn. He
would join sometimes. It was already the
end of his life. He was somebody who
understood people incredibly well.
And his sforim are very powerful. Alei
Shur is a very important and powerful
safer. His shmuessen were very well
received. His his speeches his
shmuessen. So, that's that's Rav Wolbe.
I
I I want to read to you a letter. It's
in It's in that's two volumes to say for
Ali sure. This is in the first volume.
It's on page Shin Gimmel. If anybody
ever has the desire to read on their
own, it's a letter I'm I don't know if
it will hit you. I have no idea. I could
tell you that reading this letter of
recent and when I learned it years ago,
it meant almost nothing to me. It was
okay, nice.
Today it's something I hope to give over
maybe because it's hit me. It will I'll
give it over better.
Let's try. So it's Shin Gimmel in this
thing. He says as follows. He says
Hinenu Lahavikan. I want to bring here.
He's talking about the topic of death.
In Ali sure, he talks about a lot of
topics of life and this chapter's about
death. And he says, I want to bring a
letter Hinenu Lahavikan Mikhtav. I'd
like to bring a letter Shinufali Yadenu
that fell in our hand, the royal we. It
fell into our hand. He said, I got a
hold of this letter from one of the
students of Adonenu Moreinu of Admor. Of
Is Rebbe Yisrael Rucham is talking
about. It's from one of the Talmidim of
Rebbe Rucham this letter Zel Shinai and
the following is the letter. Serevalva
says about this letter Nafali Yadenu, it
fell into my hand. I got a hold of it.
Very mysterious. He doesn't say who
wrote the letter. He doesn't say how he
got a hold of the letter. He said one of
the students of Rebbe Rucham.
Rebbe Rucham was Rebbe Valva's beloved
Rebbe. Rebbe Rucham was the Mashgiach of
Mir at Taka.
And and Rebbe Rucham Levovitz who we
have in Yeshiva Simcha Levovitz Israel
Levovitz, they are great great
grandchildren.
I think so. I think so, right? They are.
So Rebbe Rucham Lovitz, the great
Mashgiach of the Mir Yeshiva, going,
tremendously brilliant, charismatic,
tzaddik. So, one of his students wrote a
letter that Rebbi Lovitz said I got a
hold of. Listen to this letter.
Bnei u'bnai sayeeg korim v'ahuvim. So,
whatever this student was, this tzaddik,
one of the students of Rebbi Rucham,
wrote a letter and he says, "My sons and
daughters that are precious and
beloved." He wrote a letter to his
children.
Okay? So, this tzaddik, Rebbi Lovitz
says one of the students of Rebbi Rucham
wrote a letter to his children. And it
says like this, Hineni koisev lachem
mikhtav zeh. I am writing you this
letter, a letter to his children.
V'tikvosi im ayai chovev. She'tikre'u
rak b'chanam rabbos. I hope you don't
read this for many years. It's a letter
that he wants his kids to read when he
dies.
And he says, "I hope you don't read this
letter for many years."
So, I'm writing the letter now, but I
certainly hope that you don't read this
letter for many, many years.
B'irtzoni, my will,
b'zeh, with this letter, l'nachaim
eschem, I want to comfort you. I'm
writing you a letter of comfort, al kein
anoo ois, cuz I have left, I've
departed. While he's writing a letter to
his children on his own death, he wants
to comfort his kids about his own
departure.
My Rebbi used to freak me out, Yehuda.
And I've started seeing it as I get
older. I'm bugging that guy's already
next year, bugging. All our bugging. I'm
bugging that Aaron's leaving already.
Like, I promise I feel it already. And I
can't stop. I'm here. And to Aaron, even
though a guy a guy now says, "I can't
believe I'm leaving."
A typical guy when you're younger
two months later is like a different
lifetime. It's just the way it is.
To guys to the typical 12th, 13th
grader, he's not leaving. It's not It's
not happening.
Leaving. He's not.
I in a month I now now it's less than a
month, he is.
You don't see long periods of time.
You're You're in the now. As we get
older like you just tend to really yes
and no. Like you like feel
It's like here already.
I have this one guys applied to the
Yeshiva. A bocher will apply and I'll
tell him I had somebody call me today.
Can my son come to Yeshiva now?
So I told the father, there's there's
there's there's there's a few weeks left
and I dishearten my staff. It's very
hard on the staff. And it literally
makes it hard to staff members have
complained. If people keep coming, it
feels like we just
Like I need to get what's in front of me
and and meet the people and help. It's
disheartening when people just come come
come like it feels like you never get
done what you need to get done, create
the relationship. Just whenever you get
in a him
If I don't relate to him, I'm ignoring.
If I relate to him, I'm spreading I'm
spreading out further. It's
disheartening. So I told the father, let
him come for a day or two. We'll meet
and we'll give him chizuk and then he'll
come in September.
To the father, it's a good solution.
September have a solution. We'll figure
out the summer together. Then September.
To the kid, coming in September is like
telling a guy in 60 years, I'll help
you.
The nature of youngsters, September is
like a different lifetime. You're not
even comforting him telling him
September you have a school.
To the father, it's true just truth. To
the If you know kids, to the father it's
like oh baruch Hashem.
I hear. Baruch Hashem, in September he
has a place. The father's like happy. To
the kid, it's not he have to figure out
what to do.
Cuz to the kid I told him nothing. It's
not even a little comfort. I told the
father we'll get him here for a Shabbos
or three. Like let's let's like somehow
incorporate I don't want to overwhelm
the staff, so it will be a visit, maybe
a long visit. I will figure it out.
But but but but to the father, the fact
that he's coming the bottom line is is
my rebbe would talk to me about 50 years
in the future. It would freak me. He
would tell me things. My rebbe sat me
down. He once called me in the office
and in detail described to me the
Yeshiva I'm going to build. I promised
the craziest thing. It's like a promise
I wasn't thinking about building a
Yeshiva in my rebbe in detail sat me
down in his office and described the
Yeshiva he's going to make.
Since I promised my rebbe sat me down,
it was freaky to the point that two
years before my rebbe was nifter, I get
a call from I don't know. He says, "I
need to speak to you." He said, "Rebbe
called me in the Yeshiva and described
the Yeshiva I'm going to build." I'm
going to freak out and somebody told me,
"You're the last one he did that with."
Who's the guy? I don't remember was I
didn't know the person. I spoke to him
on the phone.
I just He wanted it He He was like
freaking. What does it mean? I said, "I
have no idea." Like I'm no I spoke to
the guy briefly.
I don't remember many details. I wish it
would be cool to say. I don't remember
many details.
No no I don't I honestly don't remember
many things he said. I wish I did.
>> [laughter]
>> I would tell you I would tell you
But there many
there many I don't remember I wish I
did. I honestly wish I remember. Today
it's funny that the main thing I
remember is that he called me and then
asked and that's good. The bottom line
is he would do this. He would talk about
after his death, which I didn't like at
all, but he would do this. This Yid
remarkably wrote a letter to his
children and the letter is to comfort
them upon his own death, which is wild.
It's also just how forward-thinking.
There's also an element
you'll see I want to read the letter and
we're going to come back to another
point that I have that he did this.
It's it's remarkable. It's remarkable.
It's also thinking about others past
himself. It's so cool. Rabbi Yisrael
Salanter, famously, it's a true story,
at the moments before he was being
nifter, he had an attendant who was in
the room
and he said that don't be scared of my
body when I depart, it might move a
little bit. He started talking to the
guy. It's incredible. First of all, the
calmness, the yishuv hadaas, and the
thinking about somebody else. He's about
to depart to the olam haba. And Yisrael
explained to the guy that after I
depart, my body might move. It's not a
scary thing. Yisrael explained
physically why that happens, not to be
afraid, not to be spooked out. It's just
a true story. The thoughts about another
person. This father
>> [laughter]
>> said you're going to meet this friend
who's going to be an angel, who's going
to be in your You're going to mamash
give shiur together for years. And
>> [laughter]
>> I wish I remember what my wish was.
You always lose.
>> [laughter]
>> The kids are his. That this year
What's funny is I was fighting Joshua.
No, not wrestling.
He's really winning. He's
>> [laughter]
>> So, in this letter, this year, this
tzaddik writes a letter to his children
and he says, "I want to comfort you on
my own departure." And he says, "I hope
you don't read this letter for many,
many years."
And he says like this, "A
person doesn't know when his time comes.
You have a yam. There's going to come a
day Hashem is for
Hashem should give US LONG YEARS."
I WAS WONDERING.
>> [applause]
>> WOW.
>> [applause]
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
WOW.
>> [applause]
>> I WAS A GOOD BASEBALL PLAYER.
ONE OF THE shining moments, I don't
know, I just came to my mind. I'm going
to show off.
There was I for many years to the base
madrash
and Rabbi Schailer, my Schailer shear,
we were parallel first year shear in the
base madrash.
We were very close friends and there was
like a rivalry the two shear. We played
sports. We played baseball against each
other. And I made with bases love like a
diving catch. It's one of like my
shining moments. I just felt like that
catch.
>> [laughter]
>> And we I remember remember we used to
play we played football against each
other shear. We played baseball, but
anyway.
To have Simon home, what a dream.
What a dream.
With the whole Yeshiva, I'm excited
you're back. When did you come back?
Yesterday at night.
Welcome home.
Beautiful. I missed you so much. The
whole Yeshiva ALL MISSED [applause] YOU.
>> [applause]
>> WE'RE GOING TO DO MUSIC FOR YOU, GABE.
READY?
GABE, let's go.
Wow. Amazing signing. Tell me, how's
Yisha? How are the guys doing? Elio?
Rafi?
He's going to go to medrish, right?
He's in Mexico now?
Good. Good. Good. And Elio?
Beautiful. They're doing well?
Did they gain from being here? Did they
go lower higher from being here?
Which one?
Him, Yalu?
Good. I think so.
Thank you. Thank you, Simon.
Wow.
>> [snorts]
>> What did you say?
So happy to see you. Really happy.
So like this. So let's continue on. I do
[clears throat] want to do music with
Simon, but we'll get there. We'll get
there.
So happy you're back.
So Rebbe Volbe writes like this. So this
sadik in this letter says there's going
to time Hashem should give me long
years, but he said I'm going to be
called to to my to my resting place. He
said I'm going to go be base lenetsach.
I'm going to get a place in oilam haba.
Va'atem yesaimen. And you, my kids, this
person says will be a sign. He may have
a fee. Behold my beloved. He's talking
to his children. They're reading this
letter after he after his departure.
It's a letter he only wants them to read
after his death.
He said I have seen many of you Simon.
Most of them their world goes dark for
them.
They they don't see eight of the sick
for he says most don't see an eight sub
plan and hope.
He said the young you Simon are planning
young you Simon are full of jealousy.
Everybody has a father of a lie and I
don't have a father.
Everybody else has a father and I don't
have one. The young you Simon by good
day
the older ones miss you Simon have him
they're also shaken.
He said their world has shook on them.
His might take the lay him I love him.
Their world has shook this is like you
took but I was saying that I'm learning
like before a shoe is you're learning
something out of place. Now I'm like
fired up excited that Simon's home and
I'm learning this like serious heavy
topic. I'm just excited Simon is here.
I'm extremely it's like you bring light
to the Yeshiva. I asked
we're learning like a heavy topic you're
here this is the session.
He said the older ones are also shaken
up. Their world has smoked it I lay him
I love him. Their world has shaken. Rock
my Adam only a few right easy they
carried their you Simon hood their yes
miss they even got elevated.
I only see a certain amount that in
their you Simon hood I see they carry it
in a beautiful way and it even elevated
them.
He said when I think about this this
letter writer this find me bizarre a
marty believe me. I decided in my heart
before you menachem you Simon, before
you comfort you Simon, you have to teach
them how to carry you Simon hood.
And he said hallelujah a sham should
give me siesta de schmear that I could
teach you this
and you'll think about these words and
it will make a big light for you.
So I want to teach you about you Simon
hood
before I before you get comforted I want
you to learn about it and it you'll
understand it and it will be a light for
you.
He says how much
the key
to the secret of life
the key the master yacht the key to
the
to the mystery of life
is the amuna in eternity.
Hashem the
Hashem gives
us to everything in the world. Every
blade of grass
everything has a
a
stick of power that says to it God grow.
Call Adam every person
The thing which is giving us life is the
anchor.
The main of a person is the natural.
The main thing of a person is his and
his
is not the physical body.
He may
my beloved children
take from my hope he's a
little less than a luna. I hope I raised
you in ways of a luna.
This
will be a luna grab hold of a luna and
know
that this is the secret of death.
If the
would leave would mean bitzuar the
person that the no longer is there would
be no comfort
that they will scheme Shaka
the things no longer I would like came
who it's not true how good miss battle
it's true the body is no longer the
other guy the person is very much alive
Admar
Zay
our Abby Yurokham
writes in a letter of comfort as follows
we
should not understand death key m only
what's death
attic may eerily ear somebody moved
it's no more
Yurokham described death somebody moved
no more
it's
the truest truth
your father has not died Yurokham wrote
to a town when your father didn't die
came how you he's absolutely alive the
aim
rocket mom can he moved
somebody
who understands subtlety your
maybe
I was just opposite he's
closer to you
and he's with you
in a way more than when he was alive
she ain't
the fun of there's no hot seat sir
I am testifying in this room I say a
dose
when my father was alive if I would
share Morty I want this I'm saying a
dose
when my father was alive Martha if I
would share to a friend a hardship I had
in my relationship to my dad
I would not find I'm sharing somebody
I'm a letter share with a friend I loved
father and we were close. He was a hero
of my life. He's everything I have is
from my dad.
If I would share something I was
grappling with a friend,
it's fine. Today, I promise I am not
hearing my father's listening.
When I'm talking to a friend, it's with
that card that my father's listening.
He's listening and I share it's a whole
I'm saying things about my own journey.
I talk to my wife about my journey. My
father's listening. I feel that way. I
feel that way. I manage I think it
through. I'm talking my father's manage
here. Revolber writes Revolber writes
that in a certain way he's not going to
be pretend. He's going to talk about the
hardships in a minute. But he says Shaka
Ace, he's writing from his Rebbe, Rebbe
Yerucham.
He says to a maven, to a discerning
person, and a person who knows doc on
Yanim, subtleties, they know and
understand from fire care.
Ace who you are calm. Today, the
person's closer.
The name see may new guy
they're with us in a way they weren't
when they were alive. Shame Shaka Ace
was no more hot Ace.
There's no more distance of space, of
time.
Ace a double God loser. What a crazy
thing to say. Only an Adam God over the
cottage, a great person and holy.
Who say tugging on a lane who is who
should protect us who you are the guy
who want to govern if look at that could
reveal such a crazy things. Cain who
it's the MS.
A Mona ain't a yay does me Mesa. A Mona
doesn't know from death.
The zoo here MS says this letter writer.
It's the truth he says to his children.
A nifter how you the departed alive. Who
you are the day you are magic Ace.
he knows and feels everything. He
knows what's going on by you the curve
curve tournament and he's closer than
ever. He's mom is close.
He's mom is close. He's the curve of
he's close to his craving always
he's mom is with you.
This is the first thing this revolving
brings this letter from the student
who wants to tell his children this fact
that the departed knows
knows what's going on is close and
caring and watching and observing. It's
wild to say this it didn't have to be
this way.
So writes about the departed you could
say there
who said this is
these are the greats of our people who
know who know Tyro no life.
He says that the person is
is more with us than ever. There's no
there's no there's no boundaries.
There's no there's no boundaries. The
person mom is with you mom is
this is
the
who
he knows and feels
and he's
his craving
he's always close to his relatives.
That's step one that this letter says
but
but even with this parent
but they're still not a comfort from the
loss.
He said it sounds amazing but he says
not a comfort hello you
want to
we want to see.
To
hear his advice look at
one to get receive his help began
even children that are no longer the
upon their father in that way and the
son of they still lean on him and
give and they gain strength beyond them
they know should sell your is right
nearby he's a phone call away he's a car
right away
me
and malice
who could fill this
this loss. After
we know my beloved in my half them see
but
if you love me and truth as you did be
beneath when I was amongst you I lie
wasn't a shallow love is a deep love
talk to me you always could see your
father in front of your eyes and you
could know what I would advise you you
know what I'm about.
It was a very painful thing to my father
didn't leave it seven
and leave a will I was hoping that they
would show up some will some will
there's no will
and it's something I grapple with I
grapple like I would love such a letter
but when I think about it I'm like
Daniel you know everything he stood for
there's no mystery
and he like a letter let me tell you
really everything you mind you know what
he stood for you know what he would say
you know what he does say
and this letter this person says to his
children
he says you know what I would tell you
and he says learn from what
say and that's attic he was
cuz he saw the most beautiful of his
father he knew what his father would say
each one of you he says carries the
the most beautiful of a lover believer
you carry me the father says me in your
heart you could be
through that
the of a person is his
and my
is continues on
so that's his second thing
Now his third thing. So far we have two
things he very much wants his kids to
know. One is that the mace is still
around. The rookness around. The mace
cares about you, is with you, in a
certain way is close never is margish
your day a call is is we say be a male
is being a defendant for you in heavens
pulling strings that they can. They have
tremendous powers. Whatever a father in
your life time was doing for you could
do more. He's doing a lot and pulling
every string he can. Second thing he
wants them to know is you know what I
hold, you know my is hear my advice
still cuz you know what I would say.
He said I have a third thing. He said
when I lost my own parents this letter
writer says a sure gosh to when I was in
the sea empty may hurry.
Every person feels at the time is a veil
loose a push to mix for some ice and
type in many people even people who are
distant from Yados orphan will say
Kaddish. They even put on a tall as in
filling. We understand this like push to
rookness come.
Says this letter writer there's a time
I'm up there's a very deep deep reason.
Kazal say Schloischer should to me age
bottom we have three partners. Tata,
mama, and God.
A yellowed child sees Tata and mama. The
third partner they don't see.
When his parents leave and they go to
their worlds his heart tell him. His
heart says let me put my faith in the
third partner.
He said somebody knows that it's the
past what David I'm a luck says key of
even in me as a Vony. When my parents
leave me a sham you say for me a sham
takes me in. And people turn that we
turn to Hashem. The third partner
becomes we lean on. He says it's the
truth. This I say I'm miss her other
guffney, our physical father is a
shliach from her other meaty she
bashamayim. Is a shliach the love we
feel from a tata. The love we feel from
a mama is Hashem's love for us.
As reals tata is coming today and wants
to come to give a hug, that's a hug from
God.
I love my children, that's a love from
God, right? Russ has loved his children
is from Hashem. Our father, our physical
father is a shliach from God, the other
I meet the shabbashamayim.
Over time shliach I am when the shliach
ends shall I have a guffney of the
physical father mishkasha rabbin because
I am it's the child gets a strong cash
with other shabbashamayim. The tight
laughs I special talk to them.
He said I felt this in the days of my
availous of my parents, and I want to
give this to you.
He said each person's, every person, I
carry current the I carry the whole
other of the whole deal for every person
at every age, and specifically for you
Simon is to be miss I can I am owner to
feel and experience I shall I shall I
am.
And to say I shall I am leads us, brings
us where we need to go, takes care of
our needs because of the road.
And prepares our footsteps, make sure we
have what we need. Grab this I am owner.
And he says somebody who lives with this
I am owner could be comforted.
That's his third message, the third
partner is the third message of this
letter.
Then he says when a person is is looking
for an achama
they lean on the people in their
surroundings. It's base of his
own family, his
and his friends. They help him to to to
