Shalom.
This is the third Shia in the series of
Evid Hashem. The first one was the
master blueprint of an Hashem. Last week
we spoke about my mission in Kali Isil
before the arrival of Mashiach. This
year the third one is entitled the
manufacturer. Let me tell you where I'm
coming from. There is a ma of
the famous Mash of the Mir in Europe.
It's if you want to look it up, it's
dimema
number. But b asks an incredible
question I think which is so topical
which is so relevant a profound question
really about the mitzvah of bikurim.
What happens to the mitzvah of the first
fruits that a person has. He goes down
into the fields and he sees sees that
the grapes are ripening they're coming
out or the olives or the dates or the
figs whatever they're coming out and he
ties a bendal around them and he calls
them these are my bikurim these are my
first fruits. Then when everybody in the
community is ready, they all come
together maybe in the village square and
someone announces
let's go up to and bring our first
fruits and it's a tremendous celebration
inside the the village. Everybody comes
up together and they make their way
towards usim and there's an ox in front
of them with decorated with olive
branches around him and there's a flute
is playing. It's a tremendous khaga, a
great celebration. They come towards us
shalim with their baskets of their their
pus inside them. Then as they come
towards you
anal, the people of the citizens, the
residents would come out and say an
people come from
welcome to they came to us. They were
there decoration. There was a tremendous
celebration going on. They eventually
they come into the B mikd and the are
singing
beautiful tune of the of the let me just
add I have a friend a close friend who's
the mash of moh yeshiva
fishman he once told me that you know
the tune which we sing by
lie
that actually came from the bik
beautiful he told me once he's a le
himself he said these are the tunes
which they sang they would sing
you would approach the cyain and the
cyain would take the basket of the
fruits in the side and he would do
tanufa wave it be in front and behind
and then to the side and there were
gollas there were doubves which were
standing there which were on top of the
baskets and the doves flew out and then
you stand in front of the coen and you
make this statement it's in paras an
incredible statement which you make in
front of the coen when you bring your
puin beautiful words
it's in paras paraso let me read out
towards you
you come in to the cen
The coin takes the basket with your
fruits and say
and this is what you declare in front of
the coin with your there
refers to who decided to try and
extinguish and and remove all of
in the end went down with his family to
mitim
for a few years
and there they became incredibly
powerful nation.
This all the statement that you say in
front of the and the persecuted us and
they afflicted us
and they gave us very bitter servitude
as you know as we cried out
heard our voices.
He saw our affliction and our enormous
effort which we made and the pressure
that we were working under the
declaration that you say with
he took us out to the 10 plagues of all
the wonders inside the
he brought me eventually to live in.
And he gave me this land. This is the
land which you get
the land flowing with milk and honey. I
thank you.
I brought my pay
and you should be overjoyed in all the
good that you were given. Beautiful,
beautiful celebration here from the time
that he puts a little bendle around the
fruit until he comes up to you. An
enormous celebration with the flute and
the music and the dancing and everything
coming forward with the living singing.
asks the following question. And how
much do you actually bring? You said
this morning
there is no limit. There's no size to
what you must bring.
There's no there's no given time
according to the Torah. You can bring
one grape, one fig. Can you imagine one
olive in a basket? You're not to bring
more than one one thing. Thei says
around that a person should really bring
a 60th but says how can you possibly
come forward with your basket of fruit
with just one date inside one fig
inside. It's almost like a a disgrace.
No come come with if you're bringing
something bring something magnificent
being a large you're not
one. Can you imagine one grape? This is
my first olive which came out. This is
my first um piece of corn, the which
came out. The first sheath of corn which
came out. This is the first of what I
have and alto you're not more to bring
more than that. Unbelievable point. Why
don't you bring much more says from here
we learn a beautiful claw
material. What is much more important is
what your reaction is. If you
manufacture something from the product
that you have, meaning what you're
given, you must have a product from it.
A laborer, a worker just works with what
he has. He doesn't make anything from a
manufacturer looks at the raw materials
and he makes them. He takes the wood and
he makes a bench from it or he makes a
table, a cupboard from a manufacturer
has a product says as follows. That's a
beautiful point in the Torah. It's not
so important how much you receive. What
you receive is something else. last
minute what you have to do is react your
tova how you react to the gifts that
you're given in life it's a beautiful
point one day to one fig unbelievable
point no the reaction is the most
important the manufacturer is the most
important thing not so much the labor of
the worker what you produce from what
you have meaning you make the
celebration over one date of one olive
that's all you're required to do how
much you receive is but your avoid our
personal individual efforts are how you
react to what you're given
That I think is the true evid hashem.
That is the point which I'd like to
bring out. We'll bring certain proofs
behind it all but that's the essence
here. The bim is teaching us says yamim
how you react to the gifts that you
receive the raw materials what you do
with the raw materials.
I remember before I was married as a
young boy when I lived in England. I was
about 15 or 16 years old and about came
into our community from a place called
Worcester in the middle of the English
Midlands. Then it's a place where there
was really no Jewish people at all.
Lovely person, very tall person. His
name was Peter. Peter came into the
community and he's a lovely person. My
my parents would drew him closer where
McCarthy actually when he went to get
married, he went from our house. I
remember when he got married, a big tall
man, a beautiful person, a real English
gentleman he was. And he married a girl
from France, from Paris. Her name was
Vivien. And they got married, I
remember, and they lived in our
community. And I went round occasionally
on Shabas to to eat by them on Shabbas
morning to on Shabas. Then one day,
Vivien's father turned up to spend
Shabas with a young couple. He was an
enormous man that Peter and Vivian were
very tall, over six feet tall, both of
them. And in in came Vivian's father,
big French with a big mustache and big
eyes and enormous big hands. And he sat
next to me in sh. And I happened, I
don't know why, but I turned around to I
said to him, you know, welcome here.
What do you do in France? Say turned
around to me and said to me, you know
what I do? I hunt crocodiles. You hear
such a thing. I hunt crocodiles. You
have to make a panosa somehow. He said,
that's my panosa. What do you do with
it? He said, "Aha, what I have I I sell
the skins and from there the
manufacturer makes a fortune out of uh
crocodile shoes, crocodile handbags,
crocodile, they make something from the
skins they use it. What I get from it is
a certain amount of money, but the real
money is from the manufacturer. What he
does with it? You see the point I'm
making out here? Not so much what the
war materials are. The war materials are
quite expensive. Crocodile skin, I don't
know how he manages to capture them. He
goes into the jungle maybe in Africa and
then hunts the crocodiles. Then he sells
the skin. I could I remember I couldn't
such an enormous man if I was a
crocodile I'd be scared of this man a
big man and he hunts them and he sends
sells the skin to the manufacturer the
real money he told me comes from the
manufacturer the crocodile bag or
crocodile skin shoes or something are
very very expensive
here the same point my boy say maybe
from
listen to these words if you have aim
open up to ku zion chapter 116 inim I'd
like to read it out to you let me show
you the same concept cept of the
manufacturer, what you do with your
product from the lifetime profile of
David. Take a look,
I loved you. I love me because you heard
my voice when I supplicated and I and I
begged you and I appeased you. Then you
heard my voice.
You put he put his ear to me when I
called out to him. You know why?
I had a life where I was overwhelmed by
pangs of death
and the the limit the confines of the
grave mammoth found me. I had a
tremendously difficult life. [snorts]
I had tremendous difficulties in life.
David had a very very difficult life
indeed.
I remember until the age of 18, David
Aamelik was considered by the family to
be a mamza, an illegitimate child. You
remember the the episode in Shil when
Schmill was sent down to Beva to find a
new king after Shaw and he went to ask
Yishi in Bereva who was I think the
outbased in there and he asked him to
look at his sons and each one was told
this is not the future king. Eventually
man said to tell me is there another
son? He said there is another son in the
field but we don't talk about him.
was rejected by
I was considered as an illegitimate
child. They sent me out into the fields.
They hoped a lion would trample me and I
survived. They brought him in and then a
college said, "This is Zer. This is the
one. He has beautiful eyes. He's the one
I'm looking for as a king." David was
always oppressed. When he became king,
eventually he killed Golius. And then he
began a whole period in his life of
being a fugitive, running away from
shore. He had 3,000 soldiers hunting
him. And it was enormous. Every place he
went, Shaw came after him and hunted him
and he managed to escape. I remember
this one episode in particular. When he
left Y Shalim, he was supposed to come
and play music in front of Shaw onesh.
And he didn't turn up because he was
scared that maybe Shaw wanted to kill
him. And he arranged with David to shoot
certain arrows beyond a certain rock and
it would be a message if David should
flee or David should come back into
Shalim or not. And Jonasan shot the
beyond the rock and it was a sign that
he had to flee. David had to flee and he
went to a place called Noiv which was a
city of the kohhanim. When he arrived
there se kazal Davidid was in a
situation of bulmas. Bulmas means almost
about to die of starvation. Yonison had
forgotten to give him any food say for
there we learn when someone leaves your
house you should always give them food.
Say yon forgot to give and he ate from
the leim haponim which was really the
bread of the kohanim. He wasn't a coin.
He was his but he was about to stop. He
had no choice. He was starving to death.
He had to eat. And then he ran away to
different places. He went to Gat. I
remember this one particular scene. It's
almost like cat and mouse being pursued
around a mountain. Do it on one side and
sh and the men running around and
eventually he ran down to to to a cave
in ai. Unbelievable difficulties he had.
His son Abalam tried to kill him and he
had to run up the hills of howim
barefoot. Tremendous difficulties. I
know myself
I once went through a very difficult
period in my life. My father Oliver
Shalom had died and I wasn't yet
married. It was a very difficult period
in my life before I got married and a
close friend of mine Hagraden
who now is a wash co in in Los Angeles
he turned around to me said yan if it's
so hard why don't you learn through alf
learn through and see the difficulties
which it gave me tremendous and as I was
learning it through I matched episodes
of David's life with a different perim
and I learned a tremendous it gave me
tremendous David had a very difficult
time and this is what he's saying here I
called out to shame
save me. Save my life.
These are all the difficulties.
Looks after those who are who are
simple. I was I was a poor man and he
saved me. All the here the difficulties.
Let me have peace of mind.
Has been very kind to me.
I'm up to you save me from death
from crying he cried so much
interesting when he was running away
from sh all different places Sha and his
and his soldiers never found him one
person did Yonison came and found him
you remember the episode in the forest
of clay y when he bought him food
Jonison found him again but otherwise he
had nothing he was worn out he was
crying he was finished he was exhausted
and fatigued a man on the run a fugitive
I was a very poor man afflicted and
everybody is not to be trusted. I can't
trust anybody.
Why did I bring you this pay
until
is all the raw materials which David
Dovid had to work with in life. This is
a little bit like the crocodile skin if
you know what I mean. This is a little
bit like the bulim. These are the
circumstances that David Dovid was put
into. Now listen to the manufacturer
coming out. It's interesting in halal we
divide this chapter into two until
is one chapter and then a new chapter
here is the reaction here is the result
of Davidid here's a manufacturer coming
out more what can I possibly give back
to all the kindness he gave me here the
point and this is what baby wen brings
out a phenomenal manufacturer here the
circumstance that he didn't turn man and
said help me give me more no what can I
pay back what can I his beautiful
how can of all the kindness that he gave
me and
he goes on to say no I am a servant to
towards you I got a struggle there is
the point I wanted to bring out
in tremendous stress and great
difficulties here you have it and why is
it separated the poe I think for the
following reason that when you say halal
you're given the raw material the
circumstances now stop make a break now
come on to the lesson the lesson from
the man the product of Davidid is how
can I pay back not what I ask for not so
much that I'm mak something. No, it's
not that. What do I how can I return
all the kindness that you've given to?
That's what David reacted to.
Magnificent manufacturer here. No, this
is the man standing in front of the coen
with his one fruit of just one one
grape. Yeah, but look what I have. This
is thy product which I'm giving. How I
react to my circumstances. I think
that's the reason why halal is divided
up. The reaction is crucial and
we'll come on to it later on in this.
That's the point. Let's move from the
the the the one grape in the basket in
front of the crime from the quartal
skins to David is the answer which I
wanted to bring out to you. Here is the
real manufacturer the e hashem which
comes out what you do with the
circumstances that you enli not complain
look how hard I had it. No no no he did
have it hard but the reaction is how can
I pay back? How can I return all the
favors that he's done for me? What I
have the more and I used it to my best
as I could a servant of a college.
Let's take it further. Who is the grand
manufacturer? The grand master
manufacturer I think in all of Khalisa.
Who is it? Who is the person? Who is the
the the prototype? Do was a protype?
The original is of course avoided
to it. The third day of Bruce Miller.
No, he was in unbelievable pain. No. The
third day I remember when we had our
first son.
On the third day, my wife after the
third day after bismillah, my wife said,
"Goodness, I don't know if he's with us
anymore." The child never moved at all.
Third day is very painful. He saw three
three Arabs coming in. He jumped up and
ran by yah and he ran to do everything.
His reaction know that is here's the man
the product what he does with the
circumstances that he's in he
made hashem's name popular. I think the
ultimate test of course is when it came
to the aada the end of this week's para
keshb who gave a mina the most wonderful
child the rashbah describes in the chas
that was minoshi
the most excellent the most refined the
most perfect of all human beings the
perfect human species was in looks in
behavior in potential in qualities in
person he was the perfect perfect child
That's maybe one of the reasons why the
whole world became full of when Yets was
born. The joy joy he was an exceptional
child and he was given at the age of
100. He waited over 100 years to have a
child and so as you know was 90 years
old
then to man make a sacrifice of him and
turn around and said as follows you you
gave him to me you want him back so I'll
give him back to you and he took him on
to Maria and was about to sh him if you
have a chance over Shabas take a look at
the yalut shimi on the time of the
incredible scene I remember
used to describe had the scene to us. He
was standing there with a knife and he
was pouring tears from his eyes looking
up to Sham. Where do you want me to cut
him? You gave him to me and now you want
to take him back. How should I how
should I deliver him back to you? There
was no complaint that I had to give him
back. You want him back, I'll give you
back as a sacrifice. Here's the here's
the manufacturer. Here's the
unbelievable reaction to the
circumstances that he was put into. Not
so much what he had, but he's giving
back. No, there's a beautiful point
here. Amo was the original manufacturer.
He made something of whatever the
product was. He gave me a child. You
take him back. Take him back. He's not
my child. No, this is the point really
which we're bringing out.
There's a in I brought it at different
times. I think this is so relevant at
this point. Says the
what does a good guest say? Someone
comes to your table and he's a wonderful
guest.
How much meat the the the host gave me.
How much wine he gave me.
is how many delicacies chocolate mousse
ice cream at the end of the meal
and all that the host has done is all
for me. That's a wonderful wonderful
guest. Everything he does, he notices
everything. He sees all the detail. No,
he notices everything.
What does a bad rotten guest turn around
and say?
I don't Was it fish? Was it schnitle?
Was it meat? I don't know what it was
piece of something.
I drank a cup. It was something wet. I
don't know. Was it flat Coca-Cola? Was
it wine? I don't know what it was. It
was something flat. Something wet.
And everything that he's done is not for
me. It's not for me. It's all for his
family. Nothing was done for me at all.
That's the the
I suppose you could say something that
there's one a good a bad and the ugly.
The good guest is
the bad one is one who turns around and
said nothing special for me. The ugly
one I think would be a real cynic. And
he would turn around and say, "A real
ugly guest." Turns around and says, "You
know who the sadic is here? It's me."
You know why? Because if I wouldn't have
been at the table, he would have thrown
it all out. So I prevented bashas and he
wasted the food. That's a real cynic, a
nasty person. I'm the sadic here because
at least I ate some of the food. He
would have thrown it in the garbage
otherwise. Hear the point.
The ayat recognizes everything. This was
meat. This was wine. This was chocolate
mousse. The doesn't even see what it is.
And he says everything was just a
something something. I don't know what
it was and he never did anything for me.
It was all for the family. That rais is
the definition of the laborer or the
manufacturer. The labor of the worker
takes what he has and he uses it say the
manufacturer has a product. He comes out
with something. No. Isn't that the
beauty behind it all? The beauty is says
in this who is the guest? You and I are
guests here. Who is the host? The host
is everything. Everything that the
Almighty has done has done for me. No,
there it is. There's the manufacturer
with his product which comes out. That's
the most beautiful point. I think that's
the lesson of the Hashem. Not so much
what you're asking for, but how we act
to the situation. That's
you want the child back. I'll give it
back to you. That's the
perfect guest, the good guest. The good
guest recognizes everything. It's all
for me.
That's the which I'd like to bring out
here. I think that's the message. If
you've ever looked at any of the stories
of the GDI, you'll notice they are all
experts in this quality of being a
manufacturer making a product from what
they given in life. Most beautiful,
beautiful stories about them. Let me
share one or two with you which made
such an impression on me. I remember the
time when it happened that the wife of
had died and he was sitting shiver with
all his sons. All of them were great in
and turned around and said as follows.
Listen to this line of the man when he
lost his wife. He turned around and said
usually when people sit sh they say no
meaning gave me took away said what do
people emphasize
hashem took away my wife or me said no
not me I don't say that
what I had as a wife I took him away it
wasn't my responsibility it was hashem's
nama no but what he gave me as a wife
that's what I emphasize what I had as a
wife isn't that the mosh Isn't that the
manufacturer? What I appreciate what I
was given. That's the point. And that's
the most beautiful point here. That is
the nature of the manufacturer. What I
what I had
that's the coming out.
Listen to this beautiful story.
I remember the has sped him, excuse me,
has sped him for aim. I think his
cousin, but Mayor Grinman said the
following story.
But had a sister who know Elena was an
almana, a young almana. Her name was
Robertson Baam. She lived on the street
on Bashbam in the same street. Her
husband Bazam was an outstanding tam
son-in-law of the stipler's
brother-in-law and he died young and she
was left as a widow with a house full of
children. Every air of Shabas evidently
Babe would go and visit his sister and
sit with her and schmoo with her for a
few minutes. One day of Shabas he walked
into the house and took off his jacket
and gave it to his sister. His sister
took the jacket and noticed inside a
pocket there was an empty plastic
sandwich bag. She took it out and threw
it in the garbage.
>> [clears throat]
>> said to her, "Why do you do that for?"
He said, "You," she said, "you don't
need it." He said, "I do need it." She
said to him, "What do you I need it. Put
it back in my pocket." She pushed him
and he was reluctant to say what it was.
And eventually, why do you need the
plastic bag in your pocket? But turned
around to said as follows. Listen to
these words of the autumn God. He said
as follows.
25 years ago, I think he said it was 20
25 years ago, I had a stroke and I my
arm was paralyzed. I was unable to put
my arm in my my hand in my pocket. I
couldn't do that. Then the bonishes gave
me wafur sha and now I can do that. I
can now put my hand in my pocket. But I
was concerned that maybe I'll forget the
mufur sha that I had. So I kept in my
pocket a plastic bag. Whenever I put my
hand in my pocket I feel the bag and I
remember I can't forget. No that he gave
me a fool. I don't forget. I can now put
my hand in my pocket and therefore it
reminds me of what happened to me.
That's why I knew the plastic is that
there's a manufacturer. That's a product
coming out. No. doing something which
react to react to the situation that
you're in. That's the Hashem which I'd
like to bring out which I think is the
result of this. It's the man standing in
front of the co with a grape. No, it's
the crocodile manufacturer who takes the
say no. It's the same thing coming out.
It's the mo at the time of the all the
same point here.
Let me just share something of personal
which I remember myself so well which I
I [laughter] don't know I'm not on that
level at all but I just want to say
something which I remember so clearly
when I was the yeshiva bachel so about
five of us decided the bay man in the
summer would go down and work on a
kibuts in the nega we went to work on a
kibutz on a negera and they gave us the
most impossible task to do I don't know
if you know when they grow melons they
grow them in long plastic rows and in
order to keep the plastic on they have
something called a melon hoop a hoop
goes over and on the on the hoop you put
the plastic. So all the melons had been
reaped. The plastic was taken away and
they wanted all the hoops to be picked
up. There are a few thousand of them in
the field, you know. So we walked around
bending down in the boiling heat in the
middle of a after tisha and it was
impossible. We were finished. We were
dropping. We were sweating every minute
bending down picking up the hoop. Some
of them were stiff. I remember picking
it up with a few friends. It was
terrible. It was an awful job.
Eventually someone after about 2 hours
someone came down with uh some cold
drinks and really ice cold drinks. I
stood there holding the drink and I
thought to myself, "No way. This is not
a normal bra. This ba has to be a
special ba. I can still remember
standing in the field and I screamed out
and drank the liquid. It was like I
don't know. It was like from Ghana. I I
reacted. I thought to I can still
remember myself standing there in the
field screaming out Shakon. Oh Hashem,
we have cold drinks." And it was a I was
a little man a little manufacturer but I
made something of the drink. Now isn't
that the point? Not so much what you
have but what the circumstances that you
make of it. Therefore, let me come to
some sort of conclusion what I'd like to
bring out to you. It appears to me as we
mentioned you can either be a laborer
and a worker and simply work with the
items or you can be a manufacturer and
the circumstances that you're in you
make a product from it. That's the point
I wanted to bring and that's an evashem.
I'd like to give you two lists. One is
something that you're born with which
you're given at birth and those that you
receive in lifetime. I want to bring the
difference between a labor and a worker
and a manufacturer. Everyone who's born
is given the power of speech. No, you
given the power of speech. You can talk.
A labor worker natters away and chatters
and I don't know talks. I remember when
I was in England, I could never get over
the point of the swear words which the
non-Jews use. They continue using swear
words. They use their mouth to say swear
words, whatever it was. What does a
manufacturer do with his speech? He dabs
beautifully. He gives a compliment. He
says something nice or something. No,
there you have it. A labor or
manufacturer. You're given the power of
the eyes. No, you can see Hashem at
birth. You're given the sight. What do
you do your eyes for? And they used to
say in England, either you can use it
for the greeneyed monster. I saw
something somebody has and I want it
myself. The jealousy and the ka. You can
use your eyes for that. Or you can have
[snorts] an eye in toven. No, look at
something with a good eye. something
with a good eye. Look at something good.
Appreciate what you have. No. Given a
mind. What do you fill your mind with?
Fabulous dreams of of making wealth and
everything of of tremendous fantasy
dreams that you have. You use your mind
maybe to to think about the the kindness
of Akales has given you. No, this is
really the point. Take a little bit
further. I don't know how much we can
say this but uh even a heart. No, what
do you do with the heart? You hold the
grudge inside the heart and they're
sinner or you sinner believe or you have
a subs. These are points which you have
no you're given as a gift. I suppose the
greatest expression of it is a which you
say several times a day after coming out
of the bathroom. No, the reaction of
being able to use the bathroom
that is everything that you're given by
natural. Now let's a little bit more
objective. What are the things which
you're gifted with and how you react to
it? You're gifted with food. No, they
give you food. What can you do with
food? You can do many things with you
can gobble it down and mash just nash
away and you never make a baka or you
use it in order to to give yourself
strength and you make a beautiful baka
behind it. I mentioned on a previous
occasion once but it's a magnificent
story I think which my wife and I once
went to. We went to the Galileo for one
evening and we stayed in the Ka Hotel
right next to the Canerit. It was a
beautiful evening, I remember. And uh as
we walked into the dining room, we saw a
magnificent banquet laid out in front of
us, a beautiful banquet. And evidently,
there was something very special going
on. We turn around and asked the waiter,
"What's going on?" He said, "The hotel
tonight is being taken over by a certain
organization." And they asked us to make
a banquet. Since you are the guests
here, you can sit down and enjoy the
food as well. It's all on our expense,
whatever it is, cuz this is what's being
provided tonight in the hotel. So we sat
down and my wife sm we smiled at each
other thought what a gift we came for a
night and we being entertained to a
banquet and the food was magnificent
magnificent food. You can see all the
tables laid out. We sat there and we had
the first course and then the
organization people came in. No one had
a kapal on. They were mixed together.
The women were not dressed so properly.
I remember they sat down at the table. I
think it was about 3 minutes it took
them to gobble up and finish everything
on the tables. I remember my wife turned
around to me and said to me as follows,
Jonas, let's go out. I have no appetite
anymore. It was awful to see. They just
took it and gobbled it down and and
there was no braha made. Nothing was
said. No one ever showed them how to
make a ba. I'm not blaming them, but it
looked awful. No, you're given food. Do
you make a beautiful braha or do you not
make a beautiful ba? No, you're given
money in life. What do you do with the
money which you have in life? Do you
just squander it and say, you know, I
have $100, I want $200. I given a
million, I want 200. What do you do with
it? What's your reaction to money? Or do
you use your money for stock and no, you
give or give with your money? You hear
the point? You're given a partner in
life, a husband or wife. What is a
husband? A husband is a money maker or
the wife is a shifra, a handmmaid. Or is
your intention when you find a partner
to build a bas?
No. Isn't that the point? What is the
wife for? Is she a shipra a maid or is a
husband the money maker or is it a home
which you you make kadusha from? You
hear the point I'm making? You're given
shabas and y what shabas and y for? For
food and for sleeping and for getting
dressed nicely or is
you hear the point? You can be a laborer
or you can be a manufacturer. You're
given time. No, a laborer and a worker
kills time. Now what I do with my time?
I have a lot of time. Watch television.
I watch movies. Whatever. What do you do
with your time? Is your time spent well?
Is your time helping people? Time
learning. What do you do with your time
which you're given? You hear the point?
You can be a labor or worker or you can
be a manufacturer of the product that
you're given and make a product out of
what you're given. I think that's an
evid hashem.
I would like to make a suggestion.
Who is the best of all manufacturer in
the world? Who is the real genuine
manufacturer in our times? In history
will be said the grandmaster may in our
times who is the greatest manufacturer
we have I think it's the listen to these
words
the description which gives to an asal
she pays him back good not bad all the
days of her life. Please tell me what
does it mean gamalasu means to pay him
back since when is a woman a debtor? She
owes money to people. Why the word
paying back? Who is she paying back?
What does she have to pay? She takes
debts. She hasn't got any debts. I think
the answer is as follows. Who is she
paying back? She's paying back her
parents or she's paying back her
husband. She feels that she's a debtor.
She's not. But that's the greatness of
analas.
I've been given so much by my family or
by my husband. I must give back.
Why does it say if it's not? I think the
answer is as follows. Sometimes a woman
is so exhausted and worn out and she's
spent out. She can't give good but she
doesn't give bad. That's the point. It's
maybe she can't give but it's never bad.
If she can't if she can it's good. If
she can't give good it's not bad.
There is the original man. There is a
perfect manufacturer in front of her. I
think that is the nature that a woman
does in her home for her husband for her
children for her family preparing
everything and all the work which she
does besides very often going out to
work as well. There you have it. She
feels as if she's a debtor. She's not.
But I must pay back my family. I must
pay back people. All that I I must pay
back. All I've been given, she feels
like she's a balas, but she's not. And
that's the greatest. That's the greatest
manufacturer. She's not a laborer. She's
not a worker. She's a manufacturer.
I remember reading once about the
Brisco.
The brisk rov was once talking to
somebody in his living room about a
concept I think of hashkafer something
to do with noish I don't remember what
it was I saw it in the book by raela
about the briskov I was tell impressed
by the story
brisk was talking to this person as he
was talking to this person I don't I
think it was a bach or something
discussing with him this concept in
hashka a rashisha a very well-known
rashisha in line came to the house and
wanted to say over his she to the
viscarov a certain pilp and he was
standing at the door and he saw the bisc
was talking. He went inside the kitchen
and asked, "How long is he going to be
talking to this person for?" So the
children said, "I don't know. He's
talking to somebody at the moment."
Says, "I can't wait." And he was very
impatient. He was walking backwards and
forwards. He's talking to somebody just
about
I have a pilpad
to say him over. And he got very
impatient and angry. And he said, "How
long? How long?" And he said, "I can't
wait anymore." And walked out the house.
Eventually when the man had finished
talk when the Biskar had stopped talking
to the to the bach whoever it was he
asked him who was that what was he want
here so the the children said he came to
tell he said but I was talking tora no
hear the point I was talking to to
somebody already he has to this is also
hashka is also I wanted to mention that
point it's not it's not it's not a
people in this is also the hashka is
also to understand this point I am
anashem And I try to be a manufacturer
of the product which I'm given of the
raw materials that I have at my at my at
my expert at my um ability what I have
in front of me. That's the point which I
have
in order to finish the shia. I'd like to
bring you back to David and this let's
come back to the chapter again. Take a
look again at the chapter
David says of all the circumstances we
mentioned.
Where do you know the words hashem? Do
you remember we said about
hashem?
He made hashem's name very popular.
I feel as if I have an oath on my head,
a vow on my head.
The value of these people who are
manufacturers who say they are extremely
valuable. They are when they die and
they go to this is my ev this is my
manufacturer. This is a person who I
treasure so much said honor
I am your servant. The outcome of this
why did David repeat himself
what does he mean by this
I saw boy say in a safer I don't know
who it is his name is was mayor vice he
wrote a safer onim called mayor it's a
beautiful safe onim he answers as
follows I think it's a beautiful point
David said and abd
he quoted David Amelik's great great
grandmother Woose Hamo, you remember the
episode when W appeared in front of
Boaz. So W said as follows. Woose said
to Boaz,
you've shown such
I am only one of your maidens here. Why
you showed such favor? Bo has said to
Roose, "No, you can stay here and I'm
only one of your maidervants." By law
say, and Bo said, "No, no, no. You're
not one. You are going to be one of the
mothers of Cloud Israel," said Boaz to
us. You means here it says with a H, but
it's with an alab. Lo, that's not true.
You are not a simple maidervant. Where
does it come out? When eventually
W came to the bedside where Baz was
sleeping at night and he asked her who
are you who are you who came and buzz
was shaken up she said
I am your handmade
and you should spread your blanket over
your handmade for you are my redeemer
what's going on here said as follows
I am only a simple handmade but I am You
told me the word say is Boaz told her
you will become one of the im of
answered and said one minute the
why would I be one of the im said no you
will be the malus you will be the mother
of malus someone like you and that's
what means said I am only a handmade but
you told me I am I more than that from
there you learn there was tremendous
ability inside was to become from a
handmmaid to become
maybe that's what this may says in his
perish as follows
I'm just a simple person I was
considered as a mamza when I grew up but
I am
I am a descendant of this great lady
meaning who was given the opportunity to
become the mother of mus what do we
learn from here was saying I am only a
simple person but in reality I come from
somebody called who used her
circumstances to the best advantage And
she became she was devoted to normi and
she became as you know the great the she
actually sat in the bikings down made a
special seat I don't know how old she
must have been but she saw shame
becoming the king and sat in the bikosh
unbelievable point from her
circumstances she became something very
very special what do you see from this
the circumstances that David had in life
he used them as a catalyst to move on to
move on his position from being a simple
eved to becoming a descendant of Hamovia
and that's why he says
I come from that lady who said
the catalyst was the circumstances of
life that he was put through the
difficulties that he had as we said
the product the manufactur which came
out I think that is the lesson which we
take from here
became something quite unique quite
unique where's the proof from it the
proof I think comes by side Today's air
of Shabas parasa
on Shabas morning we will say nishmas as
you know I've mentioned previously
nishmas is something like a catalyst it
brings you back to where you're supposed
to be thinking after the whole week you
spent a week on emails you spent a week
in the bank you spent a week making
money whatever it was you're driving
here and there eventually you say and
you answer
we can't thank you enough right at the
very end we mention
Why is brought in at the end of why
changed? You remember he became somebody
quite unique when cast his eyes on him
in BVA and said this is an adi. This is
someone who looks like an asab. He's
red. He's worried. He's he he's he's a
wy person. He looks like an adi a wild
person said no no no. This is not
something he has wonderful eyes. He's
going to listen to the of the Sanhedrin.
He's something very special. Dobit
changed and became something unique. I'm
suggesting the reason why Dobbit is
mentioned at the end of Nishmas. Here's
the catalyst. Here's the manufacturer.
He came out and he produced something
from his life. He became somebody quite
unique. He worked on himself. He was the
the
from the praises that he sang. But there
we have David coming out from something
that I think is the reason why we say
later on in just before
All of us are duty bound. Every human
being, not just Jewish people, any
person at all
to praise and uplift and glorify you.
I'll call the
why do we mention more than anybody else
even more than what said I am duty bound
to say it means as follows. Everybody
must have their own autobiography of a
manufacturer of a product. I must work
on myself. I must use the circumstances
just like even more than David dol did
with his life. I must do even alcohol
over more than what David do. I must
have my own autobiography of I must have
my list of yokenoid
when I reach the age of 120. I must have
a product here. I must have come out
with something with the circumstances
that I have. boy say it's a long sheer
but I wanted to end perhaps with a
certain two or threees and points of
advice which I hope would help you to
become a manufacturer and I thought of a
few ideas
a few points which maybe will give you a
point of direction
in opportunity maybe before davening do
the following close your eyes and
breathe in very deeply once [snorts]
like this breathe in and think of
something that you really recognize and
a college helped you with something.
Either you were sick once or you found a
zeb or something you really owe a
tremendous amount of depth and
appreciation to think of something.
Breathe in and let the mood let that
thought go flood your mind. [snorts]
Breathe in through your nose and then
slowly exhale the air. Do that two or
three times. Think of something
different of which you yourself can
become a manufacturer in your life.
Either once maybe you did something
wrong, ancologist will let you do chuva,
maybe you were sick once, maybe you had
a great difficulty. Think of one or two
things. Breathe in with your nose.
Hold it. Think about it and breathe out.
Then another one, two or three. Do that
every single time in davening before you
say
you say.
Now before you come to midim stop
breathe in think of something close your
eyes let it flood your mind take another
idea maybe five or six I don't know as
much as you want and then say midm then
midm will become a personal point of
manufacturer for you you did something
with mimm it's not just a chant
something which the sid says it's your
own
everything you've done for me it becomes
a product from your life no it becomes
but you must think it out beforehand
these are point which I'm going to say
and every time you before you say my
stop a minute breathe in
think of the flood your mind and another
point do that before and you'll see it
makes a tremendous difference second
suggestion I would like to suggest is
you have to learn 100 by heart
you must have it ready on your lips when
something happens in the course of the
day I don't Yesterday I was driving
around my back bet. This is what
happened to me. I was driving along. A
15year-old girl walked right in front of
my car staring up at the sky. She didn't
look right or left. I almost ran her
over. I couldn't believe it. She just
lifted her head up and walked across the
road without even looking. Anyway, I
almost ran her over. I stopped the car
and I said, "Mo, when something like
that happens, stop. You almost ran
someone over." You didn't. You didn't go
through an Arab village if you're
driving with ways. No, very often.
You've arrived safely on a trip where
you came from. Something good happened.
You heard of a Malva. Says Malida
quietly. Whisper it. Don't announce it.
The more quiet it is, the more sincere
it is. The more senu it is. No one has
to know. Just whis. It's a private
conversation of a manufacturer to you'll
see it works. It makes a difference.
Whatever it is, even though it's only a
grape, an olive, I don't know, a fig,
something small, something which made a
difference to you. You came home safely.
Something stop and say maid.
soda. But don't rush it. Say it quietly
to yourself. Just whisper the words out.
You'll become a manufacturer. It makes
the product from what you happened in
your life. You recognize the muzzle top
or whatever the good thing happened.
Whatever it was, you can say it five or
six or 10 times a day. Just say it
quietly and you become a manufacturer.
And if you can't do that, then at least
say
react. You're becoming a manufacturer
product. That's anem. It's the moshiv.
How can I reply? How can I return back
all that I have? That I think is the
theme of a manufacturer. He has a
product from things. When it comes to
the end of his life, what happens?
These type of people are great and they
are honorable when they come after 120
years. You made something of it. Mov is
a pay by itself. Even though it's one
pay inside, it's not. It comes after the
circumstances. That's the date. That's a
fig which we're talking about. That's
the crocodile manufacturer who takes
something with the crocodiles again.
That's David with the circumstances.
Let's go through. That's aw
standing at doing the arcada. That's the
standing in front of the the guest
declaring something and all the gifts
which you're given beautiful stories
which I told you myself in the melon
melon hoops. Try and become a
manufacturer. What you're given
naturally and those things which you're
gifted with during the you'll become a
manufacturer in ease. That's the point.
Who's the best of all? I in my
circumstance I would believe Anas is she
always feels she's a debtor. She never
stops giving. The alltime giver always
giving something that's a hash which is
coming out here
claimed that he was he came from this
famous woman. She was the
I'm only
I'm from the that's the point which she
was bringing out learn by heart stop a
minute before maidim and breathe in
three or four times think of something
personal and then all of a sudden maiden
becomes a personal testimonial there's
your product from your manufacturer
those the circumstances that you have I
wish you all a good chabas we should all
be to become
for habas
for cold tooth.
