but he literally got the name of someone
his name turned from what is Ysef

like it says Kadosh
which is
defines who he is. M Shabbat defined
whose was
that honorab didn't honor Shabbat didn't
honor Shabbat didn't honor Shabbat. What
what did Ysef do so special? Well, the
truth is that Ysef was very poor.
Very very poor. and he would struggle to
survive and not eat throughout the
entire week just to make sure that all
of his money was spent to make his
Shabbat as extraordinary as can be.
All of his money would spend just on
Shabbat.
One day the
fortune tellers came to a rich non-Jew
idol worshipper
and they told him, "Listen, we see a
fortune in the stars that all of your
wealth is going to go to this uh muk
Shabbat person that lives somewhere
else."
What do you mean all my wealth? I'm a
billionaire.
How could I lose all of it to this guy?

But you know a rich guy, a rich guy,
rich people, the richer they are, the
more they worry about money. So now this
guy, some people told him that he's
going to lose all of his money. He can't
sleep. He doesn't know what to do. He
wakes up in the morning. He goes, "All
right, listen. I got to protect my
wealth. I got a plan. I'm going to sell
everything."
He sells everything he has. Everything
he has. Gets a bunch of cash. He goes,
"I need the diamond." the most expensive
diamond in the world.
He buys a billion dollar diamond like,
"All right, this diamond, not only I'm
going to hold it on me with bodyguards
and everything. I'm going to tie it
under my little hat inside. I'm going to
sew it inside so it's not it can't fall
out. Sew it inside the hat. Little
turban that he had. Put it on his head."
It's like all of his money is on his
head. Only thing that's left is a little
bit of cash to pay the uh taxes on the
on the property. Other than that, he's
good. He's got all billion dollars on
his head.
He's walking on his land. Everything is
good.
As Hashem would have it, one day a wind
comes and his hat, his little turban
flies off his head right into the river.
This guy almost has a heart attack.
Jumps into the river chasing his hat,
but the hat is long gone.
A huge fish eats the hat.
Eventually, the hat disintegrates inside
the fish
and the diamond is left.
And one day, a fisherman catches this
huge fish on a Friday afternoon
right in the town of Ysef Muk Shabbat.
Now, this is already late afternoon. He
goes to the market. Everyone already
left. Only one person is packing up. He
goes, "What do I want to do with this
hat? What to do with this fish? this
fish. Wow, it's a beautiful fish. 50
pound fish. Who's going to buy? Somebody
rich has to buy this fish. Listen, the
only person that would buy a fish now
such a fish like this is only
where he lives through the door. He
lives down the street in a whole cave
over there doesn't have any money,
doesn't have any food, doesn't have
anything. But if somebody has, he's
going to buy it. If you bring your wife
fish at 2:00 in the afternoon, she's not
going to cut the fish because what? You
bring in all the stinky smell. Already
finished Shabbat already. At 2:00 in the
afternoon, you finish Shabbat. You want
a fish? You want to bring a fish into
the house at 2:00 in the afternoon, put
you next to the fish, put you in a tank
and a fish on the table.
So, the guy comes to Shabbat. Hello. I
got a big fish guy. He's got a dolphin.
Giant fish over here. Kosher fish. Size
of a dolphin. Shabbat falls in love with
this fish. Wow. What a fish. What a
beautiful fish. How much is this fish?
He says it's uh 10 uh 10 coins. This is
all of your all the money that he has.
Everything, the savings, the 401k, the
IRA, the stock portfolio, the Google,
the bitcoins, everything he has. Why?
It's Shabbat. It's a little expensive,
but Shabbat. He gives him the money,
cash on the spot. Honey, I know it's
2:30 in the afternoon. Please don't cook
me. Let's cook the fish for Shabbat. His
wife was a kid.
She opens the fish and lo and behold,
they see a billion dollar diamond and
turn into the richest people in the
land. That's a story. It's a real story.
Point being is that when someone honors
the Shabbat, life changes. Life changes.
