Sharing a Mitzvah | Rabbi Yonatan Eibeshutz | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

There's a phenomenal story about had a friend that was a kai had a friend that was zealous sadik and every day they would study study today together kabuta and to to their dismay Okay. Every day when the sun went up and went down, the shadow of the cross that's on the church across the street would show up in the bignesset and through the window it would show up in the basset. Like the shadow of it would be on the bnset floor. It would drive him crazy. What are you going to do? Theim, the Christians, they're the powerful. What are you going to do? You can't do anything about it. Are you dumb? Can you please move it? What are you going to tell them? They're going to kill you. But his zealous friend couldn't take it one day. He says, "That's it. I have a What are you going to do? I'm going to destroy it. They're going to kill you. Let him kill him forem sacrifice his life for a sanctification of Hashem's name." So he goes, destroys the cross. And as he comes down from destroying the cross, what do they do? They catch him. They catch him. They throw him in their jail and they decide, "Okay, we have to kill him." After their fake court hearing, they say, "Okay, we're going to kill him." So now Abishets and the rest of the ka have to find a way to save him. What's the best way to get people to do what you want, especially if they are money. So they find somebody that works for the church, the guard of the church. They find out that he likes money. Big surprise. So they tell him, "Listen, how much money is it? You free our friend." Oh, your friend's expensive. Okay. Okay. How much? How much? Listen, if they catch me, it's okay. Okay. How much? How much? He tells them a huge amount. No problem. We'll get it to you. Listen, you don't have that much time. I will get it to you. I says, "I don't know if they're going to get it. They're not going to get it. It's gonna take some time. I have the amount." He has the amount because his uh father-in-law gave them a big present when they got married. He's rich. Give a big present to his daughter to make sure that she's okay. Here, he takes everything the father-in-law gave their entire life savings from the safe without telling his wife and goes and gives it to the Christian. He says, "Here, free my friend." The rest of the kila comes to the and says, "Okay, we got we got part of the money." He goes, "Ah, don't worry. Don't worry. Uh I uh your friend, you already paid me the full amount. Your friend is already free." So the kil comes to say we want a piece of the mitra. We got half the money goes. Wow. Hey, you want me to share? You want me to share the mitzvah? No. I already did it. I already did it. I already did the mitzvah. I can't sell you mit. I already did it. So they got all the money, but now mitzvah it's already too late. But now has to deal with the consequences. what's the consequences is to tell his wife that they're poor now. He's scared to tell his wife. So what does he do? He goes to he says, "Okay, I'll be back." He goes to the call and hides there for a week. He hides in the col for a week. After a week passes, yeah, I have to go home. During that week, the Christian comes to his wife's comes to his house. and he's under pressure. He's like, "Listen, here." And he gives her three buckets full of diamonds and gold and money. He goes, "Here, give this to your husband." She goes, "What is this for?" He says, "Listen, they caught me at the church. I've been stealing money for them from years, and they saw there's something fishy with this prisoner ran away, and it's under my control, and they want to kill me. So, I have to run away. I can't take all this money. So if I survive, I know that your husband is so honest that he's going to give me the money back and if he if I don't survive, I want him to have it." She goes, "Why you want him to have it? Why you like my husband so much? You're Christian." Says, "Because your husband is a real Jew. He was willing to sacrifice everything he has just to save another Jew. Just to say EVERYTHING YOU GUYS HAD, HE gave me. He told me he gave everything you have." She doesn't even know yet. She doesn't even know. She's finding out from the guy. He gave me everything you have to save his friend to save another Jew. So, he deserves it. If I survive, I know he's honest enough that he's going to give it back to me. If I don't survive, I want him to have it. So, he gives these three buckets full of diamonds and gold and everything. Kabiritz comes home later that day. He doesn't know what to do. He still he doesn't know what happened. He's coming home. I'm going to tell her. I'm going to tell her. No. No. I'm not going to tell her. I'm going to tell her. I'm not going to tell. I'm going to tell her. I'm not going to tell. What I'm going to do? He comes into the house. His wife is happy and cheering and singing. LOOK WHAT YOUR GOD DID FOR YOU. Look what your God did for you. Look what your lover did for you. Look what your lover did for you. I Who loves me? Who? God. Why? Why you saying God loves me? Look what he did for you. Look, you gave a little bit of our money, what we had, a little bit that we have. Look how much reward he gave you. Three buckets full of gold and a thousand times more. What do you do now? Honestly, what do you do at this moment? You're on. What do you do? You start singing. You start singing. We love you. Right. That's what he's singing. >> What does he do? He starts hysterical crying. Shalom. Starts hysterical crying because he knows the truth. He says, "Oo, Hashem paid me reward in this world. That means he doesn't like my mitzvah. He doesn't like my mitzvah. And I know why he doesn't like my mitzvah. Because I didn't share the I didn't share. I took it all to myself. He says, "Oh, you took it all to yourself. I'll give you all the reward here." Then you want all them to yourself. Fine. I'll give you the reward yourself, too. If I What did I do to my connection with Hashem? If I look what I'm doing all What am I going to do with all this money? All this garbage. What am I going to do with this garbage? My connection with Hashem is is is is hurt. That's a lover of Hashem. Do you understand? People say, "No, no, I love Hashem. I love H." What do you love Hashem? You love his money he gave you. You love the wife he gave you, the husband he gave you, the kids. What do you love Hashem? Loving is like what a says even if he were to destroy me, I would still serve him. Shalom says, what does this mean? He says it means that if Hashem says from now on every mitzvah you do you're going to go to gay for and every a you go to ganed what do you do? Can anyone honestly say they would even fulfill one mitzvah for the rest of their life? Oh, they're all going to do sins. I'm not going to embarrass you, but I'll be the first one to say no. No more no. Why? Because we're selfish. We're selfish people. We're selfish people. We want to go to Ganed. We care less about because we don't love him. We love ourselves. What does the BT says? Even if Hashem tells me that every mitzvah I go to, I'm still doing the mitzvah because I know that's his will. And even when I go up to the bashto says I go up to it they tell me listen you got to GO TO KAFAKA. OH GREAT said it runs to he runs TO KAFAKA. OH HASHEM SAYS AGAIN I'm going to get what do you mean YOU'RE GOING TO SUFFER? Yeah but that's what hashem wants. If that's what hashem wants let him be suffering. That's loving hashem. Meaning we're dreaming when we say I love hashem. Why I love hashem? You love yourself. understood. He understood what it means to connect to Hashem and what's at risk when we're disconnected. He says, "I did a mitzvah. I gave everything I had, but it was incomplete mitzvah." Why selfish selfish is to share the mitzvah. Share the mitzvah. And that's why for us to do mitzvah, it's not just about doing something. It's about doing it completely. is all the connection with Hashem is all about meaning complete. You want your mitzvah to be complete. Let's say thank you for more. 1 2 3 1 2 3
