Tomchei Shabbat Event - Rabbi Meyer Yedid

Thank you. Right, Malca. That was a beautiful video and uh I don't think there's really much to add. I think it's obvious what we're here for. I would like to express my feelings of gratitude to Morris Bada, his wife and family. It's such a honor to be in his home for this inaugural. It's an inaugural event, right? This is the first one. Being the first is special and you found a special person to have it in his home and it will be the first of many many beautiful things in this home and for this organization as well. Shall bless you Mars and your wife and your family. You have such a beautiful family and this is goes right along and for your hard work. You really worked hard. This is all a testimony of your efforts and all the people that are involved. I don't know exactly who's involved, but it's again the cause is obvious. We have to step up as we always do. Harry knows that best. He's here at least four, three, four, five times a week. People stepping up. You know, it says in the puk says when Hashem says to our people why did I choose you what makes you different than every other person in the world 8 billion people in the world so what I choose you for say he says it's not because of the quantity of Jews in the Because you're usually we've always been till today from the smallest of nations. The puk seems to be saying something very obvious. Obviously for if we're from the smallest of the nations. So it's obvious Hashem didn't choose us for our quantity. What does the Torah have to say? I didn't choose you for your quantity. You only tell someone that if they actually have quantity. But if someone who's very small, you don't tell them I didn't choose you because of your quantity. Well, it's obvious. We all know that. That's why come and tell us not understanding the puk. The puk is telling you something very very special about our people. Why we are who we are. And we can never forget that. And hashem has to remind us doesn't mean the quantity. Hashem says, "I didn't choose you because of your ability to do big things. You're big people. Everywhere you go, you do big things. You're big in you're big in Torah. You're big in in the financial world. You're big in in in every area you could look at. I'm Israel is big. We're a big people. Hashem says, "I know you're going to think I chose you because you're so great. I didn't choose you because you're so great. I didn't choose you because you make a lot of money. I didn't choose you because you know have you have a lot of Torah in your head." It's not why I chose you. I chose you because even when you're so big, as you get bigger, you ask more of yourself. You think less of yourself. Cuz you say to yourself, "I'm so blessed. I have so much. I'm not doing enough." The regular in the street, okay, he's doing enough. Okay, whatever he has, he's not so blessed. But me, you know how much God gave me? You know how much blessings I have in my life? I'm for sure not doing enough. Like Jacobu says, I feel like a nobody because of all the good that God gave me. Yakovu felt like a nobody because God gave him so much. And he says, I'm not paying back enough. Abraham Aavinu gets a very personal call from the creator. He didn't call anybody in the entire world. He's about to destroy Sadom. He said, "I want to share that with Abraham. I want to see what he has to say." Abraham became God's advisor. Nobody got that call. Not then and not till today. Nobody got the the call. Hashem says, "I need your advice, Abraham. What do you have to say?" Abraham is saying, "Well, God, maybe if there's 50 righteous people, maybe we'll save them. What do you think? Maybe, maybe, maybe." He's advisor. You know what he said in that moment? Abraham said, "I feel like a piece of dirt." You feel like a piece of dirt. You're the only human in the history of this planet that got a personal visit from the creator asking your advice. That means you're the greatest person that ever lived. You feel like a piece of dirt. Don't you feel great? No. Hashem gave me so much that I realize I'm not doing enough. I'm even I'm even greater than I thought and therefore I'm not doing as much as I should be doing. That's what we're all about. That's what we're here for. We're here to share our home because it's great. But wait, but we need to do more because of that. We built a new home. What are we gonna do? Mars is waiting for things. You ask him, "What could you open your home to? I'm in because I have more. I got to do more." And that applies to every person on every level. He spoke beautifully about being about being the person that brings the kadusha into our lives. We're very good at it. And we have the responsibility to carry forward with more strength, with more and more. And the more we do, the more Hashem blesses us. Our goal is to continue to become big and to feel small and to do more for our people. Thank you, Rainc. You called me from your heart like you do everything from your li. He called me and you know how Ben is he speaks with everything Hashem gave him and when he talks like that and he calls you just want to be a part of it and I'm sure everybody here just wants to be a part of this beautiful beautiful cause to be able that they're the shaly for us to help people in need. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it and we'll be able to do a lot for ourselves and for our community.
