in a small village they live the poor
man
who used to go around from door to door
knocking on people's doors asking them
for help with money
and this went on for many years
and he would continue to go around
people knew that this is the beggar of
the town
and they were prepared whether it be in
shrewd whether it be just anticipating a
knock on their door from this poor man
and he'll go around for many years just
asking people for help eventually heard
that there's a very rich man coming to
town
and he's going to be staying in his town
and
it's going to be there for only a
certain amount of time so he figured he
would take advantage of the opportunity
and he came up with this clever idea
that he would wait right by the gates of
the Town waiting for the rich man to
appear when he would appear he would ask
him for help he'll ask him for something
else and hopefully the rich man is going
to feel bad for him his heart will go
out to him and he will give him a nice
check
as he was waiting by the gates waiting
hours upon hours he started to notice
that other poor people started to gather
by the gates and before he knew it there
was a whole Entourage a whole crowd of
people waiting for the rich man to show
up so that they could ask him for help
and finally the rich man comes and
everyone's screaming please help me I
really need it my family and the rich
man helps out a few people he writes out
a few checks and he just gets with the
crowd and the entire time this poor man
was trying to get the rich man's
attention but to no avail he didn't even
notice him so he decides that I have to
somehow one way or the other get the
switch man's attention
he goes to the mansion where this rich
man was staying
he stays outside of the mansion and
builds himself a little Hut takes some
you know sticks and stones and he starts
making himself a fire and he sits there
hoping that eventually the rich man is
going to come out and he's going to
notice him and he's going to give him
some money and this goes on day in and
day out for 40 days and the rich man
passes by he takes a look at the heart
he sees the poor man inside but he
doesn't bother he just continues to walk
so deployment realized that I have to
get the switchman's attention one way or
the other and finally 40 days pass
and he realizes that he can't take it
anymore he runs to the gates of the
palace he banks please open up the door
they see some guys banking it's an
emergency to open the door
he comes to the
entrance of the palace
he's standing by the guards and he's
pleased with him please let me in why
should we let you in he says well I
really need to speak to the rich man he
says everyone wants to speak to the rich
man and you have to make an appointment
he says yeah but please I've been
waiting for 40 days to get his attention
and I can't I can't wait any longer so
they say okay let's ask him so they pay
Jim and he says listen I'm available now
let him in let's see what he wants they
let him in he comes in he gets on his
knees and he starts begging and pleading
with the rich man please please help me
out I really need money my family my and
my kids I can't support them please you
know anything you give me any amount
I'll be really I'll really appreciate so
the rich man's heart goes out to him he
takes out a check and he starts writing
out like a million dollar check
meanwhile somebody outside of this
Mansion is walking by
and pass it by and he sees how the rich
man is giving out a check for a million
dollars so he says maybe the rich man is
a good mood and this is my chance to
take advantage and maybe I could go
inside and also ask for some money but
he doesn't bother going from the front
he doesn't want to go through the guards
so he just breaks the window breaks down
the door and he gets on his knees and he
says give me the money the rich man says
give me the money if anything you owe me
money you just broke down my door and he
broke my window I shouldn't I don't owe
you anything
he says yeah but you know you gave him
money why can't you give it to me he
says yeah but this guy was trying to get
my attention for the past 40 days I
understand his situation is very
difficult I see that he really is
reliant on me he has no one else to turn
to you you just came last second why
should I help you this mashallah is for
those who like to take their time and
they don't realize that they have an
opportunity right now in alul before
Rosh Hashanah comes along to really grab
the attention of Hashem to show Hashem
how much we are reliant on him and that
we have nowhere else to turn to upon God
to God and then finally comes the day of
Roshana and Hashem says so how how much
do you depend on me if we really took
advantage of all the 40 days from the
beginning of all the way to Yom Kippur
says really this person really needs my
help
so I will come through for him and I
will help him but the person who doesn't
take advantage of the time comes last
second
Hashem says we're Brave this whole time
we had so much time to turn to me he has
so much time to try to get my attention
but all of a sudden now you realize Yom
Kippur ain't trying to break down the
door and ask Hashem for mercy
and the lesson to us is that don't wait
till the last second don't wait till Yom
Kippur to wake up take advantage of the
time now so that when the day will come
Hashem will see how serious we are and
he's going to certainly help us and give
us a good year
so there are sephardim who actually
does the hot for 40 days and with dive
in and wake up early in the morning and
then the ashken azim come last minute I
don't know where they were the whole
time last minute like the last little
week off and I'm joking just Joe and
they break down the door and they say
Hashem help me out
so obviously we don't want to wait till
last second and this is the opportunity
to do as much to show as we can
so as they say happy Ryan
