in the
book
to my rabbi friend Kak my rabbi he has
many many good
stories and one of the stories is
about Rabbi
Galinski Rabbi Galinski was one of the
top kiru rabbis in the
and he had a such a such love of
Islam that it was hard to compete with
something like this. Rabbi Galinski says
I'm from the yeshiva of we knew that we
had to in order for us to get to become
part of our life we knew from our
teacher we must
do. So one day as a young student I
thought to myself you know I need to
work on my mind I need to work on my
fear of the almighty. I learned to all
day. I learned I learned mus I learned
this. I learned that. But I need to make
sure that I have the right amount of
fear.
[Music]
Says if someone has
[Music]
yet someone has yet to make a
sin, remind yourself there's a god. If
that's not enough, learn
to remind yourself what the Torah says.
If that's not enough, remind yourself of
the day you're going to
die. Why? Because you're going to have
to pay the
bill. So I said, "Okay, Gilinski is
saying, "Let me go prepare myself for
the day I'm going to die. What's it
going to look like?" So I decided I'm
going to go to the I'm going to go to
the cemetery at
night. It's already scary me. I'm
already scared telling the story,
thinking about the cemetery at night.
Now, in a Jewish in a Jewish cemetery,
there's also a
mikvet where they wash the dead
bodies. She says, "I'm going to go to
the cemetery at night and dip in the
mikvet where they wash the dead
[Music]
bodies." So, Al Gillinsky, young man,
middle of the night, he's telling the
story. He says just the wind, the wind,
the whistling of the wind was
terrifying. The whistling of the wind
was terrifying being in the cemetery in
the middle of the night. It's so dark.
Then I see this mikv and everything is
dark and scary. I said, "Okay, I'm going
to take off my clothes really quickly.
I'm going to dip and come
[Music]
out." So I get a heart attack. I'm going
do it really quickly. And this is going
to be a memory I'll never forget. Now
I'm going to have yachime finally.
sneaks off his clothes really quickly,
goes into the
mikvet, and as soon as he goes into the
mikvet, he feels like he's stepping on a
[Music]
body. He says from the fear that I
had, I passed
out. But then I passed out. I fell into
the water and the water, you know,
splashed in my face and woke me up. I
got so scared. Right. It started coming
out and the body came out with
me. And then I see it's one of the guys
from the
yeshiva and we're looking at each other,
both of us scared to
death. And then I thought to
myself, you know, is not the only thing
I have to work on. I also have to work
on my gava, my pride. Why my pride? Why
did I think that I'm the only one that
will have this brilliant idea of going
to the cemetery and dipping in the
mikvet? Somebody else is also brilliant
in mesh, not only
me, us. We we think we already said he
came just thinking about it. He went and
did it and he's thinking about have to
work on another mida, another character
trait. That's gillski.
But you see from this story, you have to
start getting used to messing with
nephish. You have to start getting used
to self-sacrifice. You can't just live a
comfortable life, enjoy this world on a
regular basis and think that your lou is
going to look prey. It's not
realistic. You didn't come to enjoy this
world. I'm not saying you came here to
be miserable. I'm not saying you're
supposed to suffer in some corner as a
homeless person. I'm not saying that.
But what I am saying is that you are
supposed to get used to making yourself
uncomfortable for the sake of
