Welcome everyone. Tonight
for sponsoring tonight
to Mrs. Alman for support for tonight
for his support for tonight's shares for
tonight's share is also dedicated in
honor of the daughter of which is taking
place tonight as we speak.
Machas from the newly married couple.
Tonight we have the cover to have with
us once again from finer to speak on the
single greatest sigula to succeed on
Madin cover the corner by finer for
tonight's Russia.
I don't know.
Amen.
Shalom. Good evening.
And of course, an overwhelming
expression of a Rabbi to Rabbi
in the summer months.
said
it's a very safer called
and it's an exciting compilation of
various rash and sophetavis band
and if you open up to pages 112 and 113
you'll see several dm a few
illustrations of rash tavis ani
vidi of course but several others and
then the notes that if you take a close
glance throughout you'll encounter 15
instances of rashis elo
five instances of sophet
so how many here can name all 20 how
many here can name 15 how about 10 yes
you'll open up
and and you'll see all right the famous
obviously it's a remal and in fact he's
not the first one to tell it to us it's
the of the harim that
the
of course is
but the kit goes on to say several other
corresponding accordingly
So we have three, we have four, we have
five,
15 examples of rash elo scattered
throughout Tanakh and five instances of
Sophie.
So perhaps not that many individuals and
Casol can remember all 20. Perhaps not
so many can even remember the Kitsuk's
four. But if you were to ask any shim
any
tell me one
illustration of how would you how would
you encapsulate
an
everybody knows that everyone's familiar
with
everybody knows that's what Elo is all
about.
But isn't that peculiar?
Shouldn't that strike us as somewhat
strange? After all, it's a pic taken
from Shirim. Sher shim of course is the
migillo is the
story
of the law between
as the ko and the
that corresponds to that will mention
the bas that's why we
began the journey the trick to where we
got married
in between us and
writes that
pertaining to we derive them from
mountain
had the mountain hanging overhead
right
to a safer from Makushian and Omel that
was the example of the flame theor kept
us for an entire year at the pedmont of
Sai why
so he had to keep us there's the kept us
at the pedmont of Sai for a year's time
that's the
for year where was the Kenyan In the
misadian writes the term writes in the
beginning of peress.
We have the mission of the outset of
kadian.
Where was the star via that was how the
aister got married to
we're no longer to parrot. Henceforth
we're to the bore. So we start out as
his aod and as we see in the tilis that
we're referred to as bon when we crossed
we see it in the of the
boniz we were labeled bonum we got to
until that relationship culminated in
the of
how apppropo therefore that we're going
to lay on the
So in the end we're going to learn from
that's prop that's very that's all about
we understand that's move all of that
makes sense. Now here we are in and
we're approaching the this is serious
business right now. This is
everyone's coming in front of the
asking for everything.
We're asking
how our lives are on the line.
Everything is determined.
This is a time of what? I would think
I would think this is we talk about the
instead. What's the month all about?
It's about
the relationship between us and where's
the where the is the we got married to
Hashem. That's what we're thinking
about.
How are we to understand this?
So perhaps one of the many ideas to be
called to be extracted
from this concept of anili vidi
throughout all of leading us into the
that's what occupies the forefront of
our minds then clearly we've got to
start with
and if tonight's topic is the single
greatest sigula to be nitin
We've established a backdrop, a context
of so let's begin with and whether it
came to your came to one of your
children when it comes to
what are you looking for in what are you
out to find when it comes to pursuing
three things are all that matters when
it comes to you got to have three things
in the forefront of your mind real
estates. It's location, location,
location.
It's midos and midos.
What are we looking for? We're looking
for someone who personifies, who
exemplifies
impeccable character traits, noble
personal attributes. Meus is what it's
all about. a member of Vad Rabar Felman
Rasha Israel gave a few years ago to
alumni saying he had the to marry off
can I many children grandchildren great
grandchildren
and he says I could tell you in his life
experience that the two most important
things when it comes to pursuing a mean
number one and number two sharing the
same aspirations goals and ambitions in
life you're pursuing a scopically the
same basic pursuits in life. But number
one, what's at the top of the totem
pole? The number one key ingredient to
look for in a successful marriage is
midos. And also, let's open up Revlius.
He's anle of Zat and he penned a
fantastic and masterful work on aim
called and there
writes that he asked the illustrious
Rabbi Yoshal and he says rebi
what's the most important thing to look
for in a expected Rabbi Yosh answered
like the bells of Rabbi he mentioned
meet us three times all you need Rabbi
Yosh every word meet us that's it you
got to look for meetups
meters is the single most ingredient in
a healthy shak.
But then revalu went to viter
and he said zadei I understand it's all
about meos but meas is a large category
compass is a lot of different meet I had
a friend that was in the par for a
number of years with me in Israel quite
some time ago and he was going through
the par was taking him some time and he
had a beautiful with the say after
dating for some years he goes to meet
the and he says rebel I haven't found my
basher hurts. What should I do? And he
tells him, we'll call this person Ru. He
says, Ruv, I want you to write down in a
list the 10 things you're looking for
most in a calos. He's excited. 10
things. Okay, I really have a hundred,
right? But I could I could cail it down.
I'll summarize 10. At least I get 10
things. And he takes a couple of minutes
sitting by the skyba and he jotss down
10 things that he's looking for in ab
looks at the list and he says, "Ru, now
I want you to go ahead and erase six of
them.
I want you to take six of those things
off the list." He got engaged the very
next month.
How many people were looking for 10
things, 20 things, seven, eight?
Rabbi told him now wrote it down to four
and of course Midas as expected was
right there in the pole position in spot
number one.
So it comes down to meas but it's a very
broad category.
Which meas should one focus on? So Rippa
continued and said Zadei and of all the
myriad positive character traits which
measurable
the carnal ingredient in a happy
productive successful marriage.
The number one is midas havatronis
being selflessly just to letting go
sacrifice.
Midas havatronis is the single most
important trait for a healthy and
successful marriage. the dorms.
So on the par of let's head back to the
real para of let's rewind to parasur
is the search of the servant the ev
and pursuit of the successor to the next
and the matriarchal line the one who's
going to take over alongside yetu after
the petira the tragic untimely demise of
suro at 127 years old albraino babam
sends his trusted servant who grew grew
up now in his house and was Elazer
Kazal as well. Was he the son of Nimrod?
Was he the evident of Nimro? Different
opinions even og making correlations
between Og and Alzar says okay past
there were two different oaks in the end
of the day Alzar was given over to
Abraino and Alavino has his trusted
servant who becomes the domestic we turn
to
do.
He is the ev who's taking the
gold
and he's transmitting it to all the
other people
the trusted
he's
in the end of the day is listed as one
of a nine people in the end of first
who was the ganed and elzar was nish
and elezar the trusted loyal servant is
sent by Abraino to find a successor to
Sarina. So he goes looking and what is
he looking for? It's very clear from
shelikra and of course we have the
famous Iran in the dashes where Iran
tells us why in the world is Abrau
sending Elzar out of all places the home
of Lava the home of Lovan who is engaged
continuously in duplicity and deceit
you're sending him to the house of
what's going that's where you're going
to run with a clown
around yes they
is they espouse idolatry but they have
to understand that then also needs a
beer but of course we do have and even
says the reason why and was the one sent
out by the shepherds she was a katano
even said makius there's no way I'm
going to send the gdola into the fields
they certain this photo even writes the
love on and when Rifka comes back with
all the uh jewelry says hey you have
invite him into the house a loving a yes
there's certain basic meos that even
loven and his family espoused and
therefore what Dr. Hale Garan they could
be ozor but if they have gus you could
build on meas if someone has gus then
we're in big trouble but it's got to be
musen on great meos and that's on go out
and find a girl with so we make our way
through paras and what happens
in fact how many times do we encounter
camels camels all throughout the para
with the recurring theme of camels
that alaser leaves the house of Rome
he's got 10 camels and toe writes
through
and his
the gumm is to accentuate to
emphatically
drive the point home to Elazar. I want
you to look for someone who is go
the
course is the paradigm of
accordingly corresponds to he is the
Torah dedicates revolving on the hinge
of unique and unparalleled
more than anything else he is the
quintessential bass and that ma was
sorry as well so what's he looking for
the next in line the moes you're looking
for sorry successor I want someone meas
I want someone who's going to come along
and not only give me water to drink but
someone who's going to say I'm going to
give you camels to drink and we're going
to constantly talk about camels because
it's going to be ingrained in the psyche
of I want you to look at the camels the
whole time and I want you to think Gome
Gomez
and that's what Gabino needs. So he goes
out yes Tinus and Elas are still listed
as one of the three who was showogen but
he still got answered because of Kosovi
had certain prerequisites criteria and
play that set the stage for Rifka to go
ahead and offer the water to Elazar to
the camels.
She is the one. She is the one. Why?
because of her because of Gilas
because of her midos to admifas
the reason Abraov sends to that house
because he knew that the girl who would
epitomize who would personify
and not only to human beings but even to
camels keeping in mind
Jacob travels to a place sukus
asked I'm naming a place in doros after
the fact that he fashioned the basic
primitive tense huts for his animals
taught the world you have to do
and you have to manifest and display
even the animal kingdom we're going to
call a place forever because
that's important
it doesn't stop at human beings and it
extends even to the scope of the animal
kingdom. That's
the epitome of
is the choice candidate. So Elazu comes
back he's got Rifka in tow and he tells
this is the one after all there were
amazing awesome miracles and Kazal tell
us he had on the way there on the way
back and he walked over the well and
Elasa witnessed firsthand how the water
miraculously rose to greet Riffon this
is
and he shares he transmits all that
information tok and is not yet ready to
marry heritz how much convincing do you
need the aster did miracle after miracle
of risky
and his classic
page 405.
Don't you need any more convincing? I
had water miraculously rise to the well
to greet a riff and nobody else. And I
had major pizza on the way there to and
fro. Isn't that enough? Miracle after
miracle.
I don't want miracles. I don't want
miracles. I want I want to when does
fall in love the first time we mention
love between husband and wife. Let's go
to the end.
And it's there that we read
and then the concludes when when he
brings her to the tent of
his mother Sah and he sees she cites
three out of the four that the Medus
records the zorim
fully mentions the first one.
Shams the candle that ushered in kadusha
shabas was miraculously never
extinguished the wasyo and the wasure oh
now I see holiness I see midas I see
kadusha then and only then am I ready
I'm not interested in miracles in the
story he always reminded me of the ya
the son of is once on a train with the
son of and the son of the sharb turns to
the son of the and he says by in the
house of my theba I
I see that whatever the tati says,
whatever he gives. I see unbelievable
all come true. I see
the listens attentively
and then he responds I hear but I think
my is even bigger. He says what do you
mean even bigger? Whatever my the says
always comes true. He says here
the house of
go is
whatever wants that's what is
that's the house of
says miracles galore gishmach very nice
we'll put it in her biography
but the woman I'm going to marry I want
midos I want kadusha
that's what impresses a yitzavina
This is the par of
perhaps parathetically
it always intrigued me why is the
classic across the spectrum of
you name it it's pretty much classic you
go to any I just came down from
a girl in her young 40s just came right
from that what's the braha that you give
the should be everything should
Yeah. Wonder where's the where do we get
such
what it's got to be couch in the context
of the and you bet it is. So let's start
with the what's well we have the back
embraces
the first thing and let's invoke the
moral the grow of and others the rama
already makes the point the first time a
word or a phrase appears in that is the
so then encapsulates that captures its
true essence where's the first time we
meet up with something that's low to the
pages of bracious bases
We understand
the list five other things you show me
and different but
you're lacking to you're missing and
mainly we say ah now you're getting
married now you're getting your to
before a man gets married he's
incomplete once he's married he's
finished
What about
the animology if you open up
you'll see that
in various conjugations appears but
eight times and all
time number eight is in par three times
pertaining to defined of course as the
ishmat but using again let's invoke the
cl of the moral
Let's go to the first time appears. And
where do you think the first time we
witness the
appears? Believe it or not, it's in the
Hashem should be what? I'm going to see
if Hashem is
and it'll be not just once, not twice,
three times. No more than that. four
times four out of eight times 50% of the
mentions of including the very first one
appears couched in a context of it's not
at all coincidental
why is the across the board it should be
because
introduced to couch specifically in the
context of
the para
is doing all this evil
That's everything.
does everything. Yes, he does everything
when it comes to it's ble it's glaring.
There's nothing else to be told on but
the aister is mavic the beginning told
us that's sort of telling the Roman matr
what is doing postcious he's spending
all day being
the par is where we're introduced to
hence how apppropo it is it should be
so what are we looking for if that is
the par of then clearly the first place
we look is what to find in the first
pursuit of a shak
and especially based on the ran and
rashas the number one most important
ingredient is midos
and now has rifu
has his wife
but it all took place keeping in mind
all through the means of
So he needs big. Yes, I know he's
I know he's
always called
and I know he's
what is the
that the entire continuity of
made possible in gender
the what's the
let's go to that not the first time and
of course many bother why is Rashi
citing the menish embrace
Why is he signing it the second time
around? That's where she cites the
maybe ah what happened because Elazar
had a why
he had a daughter and remember he's the
biggest in the world right now outside
of he's a he's a grace and I'm sure that
his daughter was mamish the topak girl
around she was the base go around unless
she went to the house of love. So she's
growing up in the house. I'm sure she
was right. If there's she was right cuz
I mean respons says the only reason why
I can't go and do the it'll save us so
much time.
We don't have to do it in marina or in
the sheriff. We'll just have you got it
right here in the house. We'll save so
much money on the sh and the big and we
don't have to give love on any gifts. Of
course, the only reason is because he's
an and is a barak and it's not the
but otherwise his daughter was right.
Now can you imagine here's her whole
life he is of he is
he is the
first of the
he knows his daughter's roy he knows
he's worthy on a level he's certainly a
better than
so here all he wants in life is my
daughter's going to marry
and alino says no now alino is mas if
the isha doesn't go with you for
whatever reason then if we have no
alternative then your daughter's going
to you can imagine here's
and inside his heart of hearts what does
he want he wants nothing more in life
than his precious of a daughter is going
to wed the next
and what he is he sacrifices say do you
know
yes we'll have who's in her mind at
least she's thinking she's giving up ya
when she gives over the sim to her
sister Leia But in the other day,
where's the first of
his entire future as the of the
my connection to
and my boy said, do you know any Gomorra
anywhere? Anything in you know do you
know the name of Elaz's daughter? Do you
know what ever happened to her? Do you
know if she even got married?
Wow. Wouldn't it be a different story if
she married Ysekavina?
And we don't know really anything
about this wonderful sadas of a young
woman. We don't know if she ever got
married. If there was any sense of
continuity in that family
was like you can't be masik gave up his
life, his dreams, his entire hopes, his
aspirations, his longing and yearning to
be his dreams for his precious of a
daughter. He gave it up
that
that's why he is
there's a total vanis
total self-sacrifice. He gave up all his
dreams, his hopes and his longing. all
to go ahead and make sure that had
Rifka.
He made we understand if the whole par
came about because Elzar was then makes
sense like that the most important to
look for in a if this is the par after
all
the most important mid in the world to
look for in a happy successful
longlasting marriage is so that's a
Philippia Israel St.
Romeosh asking the god of the posor what
am I supposed to look for like the bells
of rebel like the rash is meet us meet
us meet us but out of all the myriad the
sunjas which one occupies the spotlight
center stage meet us havatronus
and thera makes a lot of sense
because marriage after all is referred
to and the kazal is a cessus writes
Why quoting
says
the woman it's called? Why? Because this
is a bris and she's only co-ay bris with
the one who consummates the marriage
as
he says asks the moral prague why is
marriage defined as a criesus after all
you would think muscarishian what's
marriage I'm bringing somebody extra
someone additional into my life into my
orbit but you know what the moral says
that's not true marriage is described in
kazal as a mice of cries's bris what's
cus cores cries is cutting off what's
because you want a happy successful
marriage you got to sacrifice. You have
to be there. You got to figuratively cut
off a piece of yourself. That's why
marriage is defined as a bris
will cut things in half. That's a bris.
You each give up and then you forge and
merge a union that lasts forever.
But it's got to begin and take place on
the heels of a crisis. Crisis you have
to do an act of courage. The biggest
decision many will make in their lives
is whom they're going to marry. Robert A
Lavine writes in his book of geography a
time. The word decision comes from the
Latin ches side. Homicide cutting off of
someone else's life. Suicide not cutting
off of someone's own life and fantaside
cutting off the life of a child.
Decision comes from the Latin shish
side. Decision is you're cutting off a
piece of yourself. How deal? You walk
into an ice cream store and you like
vanilla and you like chocolate, but your
wife told you you can only get one. You
better not come home with two scoops.
Yeah. And they don't have any swirls.
There's no bitty ever mixings over here.
You got to choose. And you're a big
vanilla fan and you're a chocolate fan.
And you go in and you get the vanilla.
What'd you do? You made a decision. That
means that the moment you decide on the
vanilla, in essence, you cut off the
part of you that wanted the chocolate.
The biggest decision you have to make is
I'm cutting everybody else out of my
life and I'm cutting off a piece of
myself to let someone in Asia Caress's
brisk. That's the biggest decision you
have to make. Interesting. Creus
cares creus cutting off a piece of
yourself because in order to have a
happy healthy marriage, you have to cut
off a piece of yourself. You have to be
mater.
Someone told me years ago, my wife never
likes when I quote this, but it's a yua
dick. One comedian shared with the world
years ago that marriage is just like a
tea bag. When you open up the tea bag,
it looks great. It smells great.
Everything is perfect all about it. Next
thing you know, you pick off the lid and
you see it comes with strings attached.
Marriage is like a tea bag. It looks
great. Smells good. Everything looks
great. You open it up and next thing you
know, it comes with strings attached.
And before long, you find yourself in
hot water. And after a while, it just
doesn't make sense anymore.
But everyone here has a great marriage,
is working on a great marriage with
marriage is like a teaag. Why? Because
you can only produce and extract the
flavor when you destroy the tea leaves.
When you burn them up, when you
sacrifice, I but they smell great. They
look great. It's a nice packaging. You
destroy the packaging. You destroy and
you burn up those tea leaves. And now
it's what produces the great fragrance,
the aroma, and the taste of the tea. And
that's marriage. You got to sacrifice.
And the more you're willing to
sacrifice, the more beauty that's going
to come out.
It's a great story of a shinpinkus.
And he was a big masid in his time in
yeshiva learning by rapinkus. And then
he got married and all of a sudden he's
married now and he figured okay I
finished the parash
I finished all the dating I finished the
chase
he found this missing rib he's good to
go that's why parathetically writes
anyone who doesn't who's not is not
looking to get married
his bones are going to blow up. Why is
that? If you're not interested in
finding the missing bone,
then the remaining bones are going to
have to fill the void, the vacuum of
that missing bone. Hence,
that's
what you finished. You finished the
dating. The tot comes over pink and he
says, "Rabbi, I finished the dating and
what? I thought I was such a masman. Now
I got married and my wife says we still
need date night once a week. Wednesday
night, we got to play Scrabble and if we
don't have time to have a scrabble, it's
got to be bananagrams." I don't
understand. And I used to learn nights
and then shava it's got to be pizza ice
cream
monopolies whatever the games they have
today and I know the game is all this I
can't believe I'm such a and now I got
to spend all this time with these games
you didn't learn the
olive
if this between the husband and wife.
Then is there a
provides the provides the figurative
that's the and of course there's
13 if there's going from and it's
reciprocated accordingly going from to
it's 13a from toala 13 to 13 and 13 is
26 here kovk you bring into the bias. He
says that's not when you're playing ble
or you're playing bananagrams over the
banana split.
It's a rendevu. You're bringing the
but you got to give up. Yes, you want to
learn every single second. Who doesn't?
But you got to make time. That's
sacrificing.
And the woman, what does the woman love
more than anything in the world? Her
husband. And then eventually he met
Hashem her children. comes to twice
and watch their VIP pass into
sends the people she loves most in the
world I know her husband her children
and she doesn't want to let them go and
she sends her husband to the base
marriage to learn and sends the children
out to learn nikra taking the people
that she adores admires and loves and
cherishes more than anything in the
funeral and she parts with them and
sacrifices lets her husband go to learn
as I sacrifice that's why we fingers
when I was learning in the mirror so
years ago he used to tell the guys cell
phones were first coming out don't have
cell phones and if you have a cell phone
make sure you don't bring a cell phone
into the bish because not only the
but the wholear of your wife is that
she's letting you go before 9:00 in the
morning and you're not coming home from
Second Ser until 6:30, 7:00 at night.
But if you go with the phone and she
knows that she can reach you and text
you and email you at any moment in time,
then she still has you on a leash, then
she never let go of you. And she never
let go, right? Oh, it's only for
emergencies. Emergencies, right? You
better stop and pick up the gallon of
milk and the eggs on the way.
Emergencies, right? Don't The whole idea
sacrifice that she's letting them go.
That's Kesa's a breeze. The woman
sacrifices for her husband and the man
sacrifice. You have to be bound. You
have to let things go.
That's the key to a happy successful
marriage
may we quoted the ram before in his rush
and now we turn to the yet again this is
in the in his beer on the riff and
shamas in the first paria
rift where the rift takes us to parakeet
why is it called
the writes the one of our gdm comes from
vatishko to our vatishko
is
conotes the sense of serenity and
tranquility. How do you have
tranquility? The husband's got to be and
has to give up on things. And the woman
likewise has to give up. It's got to be
a crisis. It's got to be giving up and
sacrificing vatis. And that's the
crucial ingredient to a happy healthy
gishmaka marriage.
But it's not just in
it's in all of life.
You want healthy successful
relationships then you have to be
willing to be matured
years ago a fascinating work called
and
he says
he takes us to a mission and perish
and the mission tells most famously
homer
that's what belongs to me that's yours
what's yours is yours that's
what what's mine is mine and what's
yours is yours okay that's the average
that's
called
and that's again rabbi so we could spend
all night in
then according to the
if what's mine is mine and what's yours
is yours is still labeled it's still
under the rubric of because really
everything then what's
there is no me why in kite you can't be
a
average is not for did it. The go they
could work on being average. We're not
average. We don't live lives. Somebody
gets up after 120 gets a bitty evol
am
looking for shortcuts, right? You want
to lose weight, right? We don't go to
the the drugs. If the doctor says it's a
different story, you exercise. Oh, we
want shortcuts.
A person's depressed will take the antib
sure go. No, you exercise, you eat
right, you sleep right, you get you get
the right help again if you need a
doctor
there need but we're not looking for
shortcuts.
There is no measure.
You got to step up to the plate and you
got to be willing to live a life
giving over everything. That's it. You
have a nice car. You just bought a Tesla
SUV. Okay, now let all your neighbors
use it whenever they want. Ah, you got a
nice watch. Okay, so lend it to your
friends. Lend it to your neighbors.
Whatever is yours, it's there. You're
just a to share the wealth and to share
with other people.
That's
this is what we have to do.
And he says, that's what it means to be
av
when somebody insults you, somebody
embarrasses you, someone hurts you
physically, mentally, emotionally, and
you just let it go. That's
to the end degree and he says that's
good for the in the moral who writes in
the beginning of
he says what do we see from the moral
that is
you think is oh every time and Harry
were engaged in
that means what
mandates it's that we all have to make
ourselves what's
is the tell us repeatedly is the one who
goes
always going above and beyond the letter
of the law.
That's what we have to work on.
We all have to be
we all have to be
you want to pass by your vis if Hashem
seeks that you're letting go and you're
being when other people hurt you and
insult you and you might be right and
you might be justified and you say you
know what they're going to be mat then
hey says I'm going to let it go and
that's what it means and that's the
that's
That's what it means. There is no me for
there's no we all want to be and we all
want to go.
We turn to kineski and this appears in a
number of they asked the golad the
saraty and what is the single biggest
thing of after laying the groundwork
here we are with the shil of tonight
we're in the midst of right now and
we're all seized and we're taken over by
the
and we're all searching we're on an
incessant quest
we need things how we going to
How do you have to learn
how to learn? You learning to learn
more.
Where's Frank?
For example,
we get up in the morning and we talk
about
where
is we don't have to spell out Tyra.
Torah is aiomatic that Tyra is the
foundation of all. Torah is life. Torah
is it.
So said Torah is not the oxygen that we
breathe. Torah is life itself. Okay. So
Tyra is it but if you're not if you're
not the biggest
what can I do? He says what do you want
from me told us the single biggest
olive
tells us at the bottom of the
different call.
There's one thing you get out of
tonight. Besides the fact that Rabbi
Finer speaks way too fast, but as they
told me in the show years ago, Rabbi, if
you would speak as slowly as you do in
Davin as fast as you speak, then we'd be
in really good shape. Uh, but you could
always put it at the slow motion
afterwards. There's too much entire to
cover up by side. But this line has got
to be put in your back pocket, in the
forefront of your minds.
Who is Hashem going to forgive? He's
going to let the go to
if somebody insulted, someone hurt you,
someone robbed you, someone stole,
someone embarrassed, and you let it go
and you say, "I'm going to be
a always works measure for measure."
Amos says if you let it go
I'm going to let it go
the same says life comes down to okay
but not everyone could be learning 18 19
20 hours a day like 22 at the end of the
day I'm looking for the single greatest
in school
and it's right here in the
single greatest thing if you want to
forgive all of your forgive everybody
forgive and forget to let it go. There
was a comedian who once quipped years
ago. He said, "I grew up I wanted a
bicycle so badly. So, I prayed and
prayed and I prayed to God to get a
bicycle, but I didn't get a bicycle. So,
instead I stole my neighbor's bicycle
and then I prayed to God for
forgiveness.
Hashem's not going to forgive you."
You know when Hashem's going to forgive
you? If you could forgive everybody else
in your life, if you could just let go,
let go of all the
no for we all want to be
and is not
itself.
We want to go
we want to be and that is number one.
We have says all the safe is crowned to
the choice for
the
beautiful magnificent
embraces. But what about the other is
called
why? Because of one
is for God's
because of one.
And what's that?
Why? Because that's how you walk away
from because that's the essence of life.
You want to be a happy ender said
forgive and forget to let go. But it's
very hard for adults to do that. I'm
going to share with you in you heard it
a powerful
he said you know the difference between
children and adults says I'll tell you
the difference. He says when a child
gets into an argument with a parent and
the father has to give a little patch to
the child. So, and the Tati gives a
little pouch on the hands of the child
and the child starts wailing and crying
and he looks up and he says, "Tati,
you're the worst Tati, the worst daddy
in the history of the world."
And he takes away his lollipop from him
that he just bought yesterday. Takes
away his lollipop as a punishment.
You're the worst daddy that Hashem ever
made. I'm the worst party in the history
of the world.
And then a half hour later, the father
comes over and he gives an even bigger
lollipop to the child.
He says, "I gave you the patch, you got
the punishment, and now I'm going to
give you an even bigger lollipop, and
I'm going to take you to your favorite
outing, your favorite vacation spot
tomorrow, and all of a sudden, from one
half hour to the next, you're the best
tati Hashem ever made. You're the
greatest tati in the world. And yet, you
get into a into a conflict, an
altercation of sorts, with an adult. You
get into a fight, two adults,
and then you try to forgive. No way. No.
Just ju just make up and just forget. No
way. I'm right. I'm right.
Why does it take so many weeks, months,
years for people in a fight to make up?
Because children know it's better to be
happy than to be right.
An adult would rather be right than be
happy.
The
profoundity.
I know of a case of two relatives that
got into a fight and they didn't speak
to each other for 35 years.
three and a half decades they didn't
speak to each other and you can imagine
a Vades expected it's inevitable it's
going to trickle down to the next
generation the next generation and
families had nothing to do each other
because of one silly argument 35 years
they didn't speak to each other
one Sunday and I heard this from one of
the balisa one Sunday he says the man
was already in his 80s and he says what
am I going to I'm going to go I have to
120 and I'm going to go in there till
the cap we don't speak to each other
says you know what I'll just take the
blade And one sunny Sunday afternoon, he
walks over and they lived in the same
neighborhood. Can you believe it? 35
years. Avoided each other, ignored each
other and the families. No shas. And
then all of a sudden, one Sunday, he
says, "I'm going to make up." And he
knocks in the door. He says, "Yes, yes.
What do you want? I'm here to take the
blame. It was all my fault. I'm sorry.
Can we now get along?" He says, "Sure,
sure. Yeah, it's all your fault." Okay.
Great story. After three and a half
decades, they made up Gavaldic. and they
were very friendly on wonderful terms
for the rest of their lives together. Is
that a great story? It's a terrible
story.
All it took was a knock on the door
when he was already in his 80s to just
knock on the door and say, "It was my
mistake. Just forgive. Just let it go."
35 years they had damage in that family
because of one petty argument.
Just let it go. But the tear said it.
What's the difference? Children and
adults. It's a great newser came out
just recently by
he sends me his farm and I hope he
listens to this because I love Yeshua
pess and I love his gabaldum. He sends
them to my office at the white jewel. I
try to go through them cover to cover.
This is one of my summer gems. Great.
We have to live our lives. We emulate
the ways of the almighty above. We
follow the
says in
someone who gets shamed, embarrassed,
and doesn't respond.
You get shamed publicly. You get
embarrassed and you don't respond. You
just swallow it. You just let it go. Uh
we say that's the
says where do we get it from? The says
even
what does he do? He just lets it go. And
we know he just lets things go. Again,
not
but
and we know what someone who makes
himself
just like the because what do we find
nefarious
blasphemes
And hashem is
stay silent. Hashem listens to doesn't
respond.
You got to do the same.
If
we have to be mah.
So too we want to be open.
used to say you want you want your
children to get married you want
children
and then get a bra from someone who was
insulted publicly and he doesn't respond
and he remains ever quiet and
says that's someone who has the power
and the potency of
from him take it from and that's going
to be
so what do you think is One of the most
popular games in the world today.
Most popular games, Lego. Who hasn't
heard of Lego? Uh, scientists even
estimate that at some point every person
on Earth will step barefoot on a piece
of Lego at some point in their lifetime.
Uh, first introduced in 1949. It was
invented by a Danish
scientist, Old Kirk Christensen,
and it is one of the world's most
popular toys with more than 400 billion
pieces on the planet. 60 billion bricks
now being produced every single year.
Who hasn't heard of Lego? You ever
wonder why is it called Lego? There's a
Lego land. You having your children,
your grandchildren, maybe some adults
are still playing with Lego. I in the
end, why is it called Lego? So I looked
it up. I looked it up and it's from the
Danish phrase which means let go which
is play well. Play well. But the fine
diet there by side. It's not about play
well. That's why the guy called a Lego.
You know why? We're going to step on a
piece of Lego some point in our lives.
400 billion pieces and growing by the
second all over the world. Cuz when you
step on that Lego don't forget an
important lesson in life. And you see
your kids playing Lego which many post
can say yes the children can play with
even on chab and many post can right
that's not let it go
just let it go be out there because like
the said the kids got it right imagine
your father your son said you're the
worst tati the worst are you the worst
parent in history buy him the nicest set
of Lego and you'll be the best the kid
will say you're the best why just let it
go let it go a kid know it's better to
be happy than to be right. But you can
have an adults who don't they don't show
up to children's weddings.
Family members who don't go to each
other sus who don't speak for years
by look at the game Lego
just let it go.

scramble with your wife
this shabas when you're eating love you
know what you should take out with your
family take out a game of Lego and build
something together. There's a little boy
in the in my sh and a few months ago his
father came over and said, "Rabbi
finder, my son built a basos from Lego
and he wants Rabbi Farer the rough to
see it." I says, "When I was a kid, I
had these big Lego pieces with I got to
go with the base of Mikdos." Turns out
they ordered a Lego set from saw tiny
little pieces. He spent several weeks
this young boy and mama miniature
modeled on the base of Mikdos out from
Lego to my side. And you know what? I
was thinking of this young innocent boy
who understands it's better to be happy
than to be right. He understands you now
you rebuild the bikdash
with Lego with letting it go. That's
what you got to take out of tonight
