The Story of Lag Ba'omer-A Story Of Emunah With Rabbi Avi Schnall

Oh everybody is a happy like baby to all and it's so amazing to be here and everybody I hope everyone can hear me and what an honor what a privilege what an exciting night blackberry murder but I'm assuming by your Italian so much to talk about so much to say so many stories how do you pick a story that illustrate to describe Lag Ba'Omer edition buy a car be a Kiva there's so many things happening well let's start with the story of him shown by a kite but rimmed by a guy he was sitting together with a few of his colleagues and they were studying and one of them made a mention about the fact that these streets in the city they lived in was so beautiful and how amazing it was and release he was sitting there be Isis was quiet there'll be Hooda seven it's so amazing the Romans made this for us and should make I responded that man it's not so special they didn't make it for us they don't get it for their own benefit they made markets to sell things they make bath houses for themselves they made bridges to charge taxes Mariza the beasts are grateful no reason to be so praiseworthy who's a young boy I was standing there listening to this conversation and he went home and he told his father with the three righteous people were discussing this person went and told it over to the Roman Emperor and the Roman Emperor was upset whose obsession by his guy who talk negatively about his work about what he did for the town about his bridges about his rows about the streets about his marketplaces he was the man eruption by a value ungrateful and he sent that a decree that was shown by a guy he killed some shrimp a guy by the way went into hiding and he first hidden side of the base measures and his wife would come every day and give him food and then after a little while they realized that the Emperor's army was getting closer that they were hunting for him and it was no longer safe him to be in the base register sit him together with his son ran out of the big spenders and they found a cave they hid inside the case and they were stuck in the cave by themselves they had no water they had no food they had nothing they Revere they had full complete faith but I was going to take care of them and a miracle took place and a carob tree began to grow and they were able to eat from its boxer and a spring appeared and they had water they lived inside the cave for twelve years completely immersed in the study of thyra nothing else and Hashem provided them their food has Shem provide them their water and after twelve years only one of he came to them and said the now it's safe to leave they waited in the cave another year and then they exit they left the exit of the cave if so many lessons in so many pieces of parts to think from the story but perhaps one particular item is that shim by a guy in his son were in the cave and they had nothing except for the Ramona they had their belief that I shall would take care everything and because they had that belief he did he bought a tree he brought water in middle of the desert fake aids so I'll tell you a fascinating story as a camper summer camp called Camp Dora Golding it's been around for years is a great camp and in the camp there is a learning director does a great job almost as good as the learning director of the zone of a rifleman but he's also still good and every year in the summer just like in the zone they have learning programs and this prizes not as good as the zone but it's also pretty good and the whole year the whole summer there are contests and there's tickets being given out and at the end of the year they make this massive Chinese auction and they have boxes surrounding the entire dining room maybe they also called the Grand Ballroom and the boys take their tickets and they put their tickets inside the boxes the different prices and they raffle of bikes they raffle off iPads they raffle off all sorts of great stuff there as well all the shots they raffle of slurring amazing prizes but my sadder their learning director we can't have son I was a camper and all summer long he's learning in his practice of begging and he's collecting his tickets and it comes the end of the season and he has dozens of tickets and he's already thinking in his mind should he put five tickets into the bike box and five tickets and a box one box she got more tickets you put one ticket in every box him and his friends are discussing and debating anxiously anticipating for the Chinese auction the week before the Chinese auction happens his mother was doing laundry and the boy the son forgot all of his tickets inside of his pants packets and the mother was doing laundry and oh no she forgot to look and check if there's anything in the packets and she does the laundry and all the tickets are in the lodge are in the laundry and we can figure out what happened to the tickets a sidebar story taking place the same night Bob why you mrs. Sabra have a daughter the daughters of the age of Chinook and she's at the manageable age as you start to get a little older and the shotgun and the matchmakers weren't calling so often and she was getting very anxious and her friends were starting to get engaged some of her friends were married already and some of her friends even had children already and she's home and she's single and she was frustrated and she was talking to her mother missus Albert probably maybe she was talking to while she was doing the laundry and that's why she got maybe distracted she's complaining she's pouring out her heart to her mother it's Matt's fear why do my friends get older seduction what about me what am I gonna fight my husband what am I gonna go out on a date as you sporting out her heart to her mother and her mother's listening turn she's consoling her and she's being patient with her and caring and then they finish their conversation a little while later this young boy comes into the one-two frantic Mary I cannot find my tickets will my tickets money the auctions gonna be in a couple days and mother will start a little would you leave them last as usual we attract union or something so the boy tries to think with the leave us tickets rarest tickets starts to think that leaving this cubby checks the cubby dolly he can't think what it was he says my one second I had it in my pants packets the last time I had my tickets I had in my pocket and one asks him so we're the banks put in the laundry you put in the lungs I just did a lot of laundry she goes up to the washing machine she finds the pants and she sees that all the tickets of totally rooms and the boy is heartbroken she begins to cry the whole summer he's working to collect those tickets to get those tickets to get the prizes he ready was imagining which prize he was gonna win it riding down the streets of Ellison with his brand-new bike ya know the plans and now the tickets were ruled it begins to sob his sister who's in the room the laundry with the mother thermistor her younger brother says why are you crying your father talk to you is the learning director he'll give you the tickets tell him how many tickets they had I'll give it to you why you crying just talk to your father he's in charge of the program mother looked at her daughter and tells her daughter why are you crying talk to your father he's in charge of the program referring to our Father in heaven of English Sebastian Eileen and the daughter took the lesson to heart and three months later should we pay makalah shin-bi i sat in that cave here absolutely nothing he had no food he had no water he had no clothing the only thing he had was complete and absolute trust in Hashem that's it that's all he needed when we believe in something wholeheartedly Hashem takes care of it we stood by the answer and said how are we gonna go in and I'm in sadness I heard many times when the Jews were standing by the old weather ended by the river and the Egyptians are running after them they had nowhere to go and they began to cry and they doubted that Hashem said what go into the water why we happening that's what we're supposed to be going survive me said so many times the neighbor of Moshe fighting the ration was saying was just half face value so gold or water just believe me and I'll make it happen such a hard time it's so hard it's so hard so many tragedies and things are happening and businesses are closing down of in feet ourselves are we gonna survive just talk to your father he's in charge of the program I wish I were happy like bone marrow and take for so many lessons already shown by a sight to heart especially these hard times and we should only have happy celebrations get together to sing at the dance not only virtually but literally and you shall I will I play this next year in May round unlike volumen thank you for listening
