Shalom
about 80 years ago.
He asked he needed somebody to come help
him raise money for his yeshiva.
So he looked at this young rabbi
Tommy Kam. He told him, "Why don't you
come help me raise some money for uh for
the yeshiva?"
And he saw the guy was very worried.
Why? Even it's very embarrassing to
raise money. Somebody asked me today,
"How come I give anytime somebody comes
to my door,
I give the money? I don't have much
money, but anybody someone comes to my
door, I make it a policy my whole life.
Anybody comes to me to for money, I give
them something. I give him a dollar,
give him $5, give him $10, depending on
what I have. When I was rich, I had
more. When I don't, whatever I have.
This student of
was scared.
He was scared. Why? He didn't want to be
embarrassed. He had cav and he didn't
want to go doortodoor asking people,
please give me money. He didn't want to
do it.
Shalom. Said, "Listen, I've seen your
face.
that you are scared to come with me
because you think oh you want to get
embarrassed
you should know if you're supposed to be
embarrassed that was decreed in heaven
already which means if you're going to
not come with me that embarrassment IS
GOING TO COME TO YOU FROM your wife from
your job from your students from the
store clerk it's going to happen anyway
what do you want your wife to come in
the middle of the street to, you know,
start yelling at YOU BECAUSE YOU FORGOT
SOMETHING HER BIRTHDAY. WHAT DO YOU want
one of your students to embarrass you
because you forgot the answer? He's
telling everybody you forgot the answer.
What do you want the store clerk to
stay? Listen, this guy been buying stuff
from me for the last two weeks. He
hasn't paid me. This broke guy. You want
that embarrassment to come that way? At
least if you're going to get
embarrassment, wouldn't it make sense to
have it for?
Meaning that a person needs to
understand everything comes from Hashem.
Even that embarrassment, even the bad
stuff, it comes from Hashem. If you
think of things that way, that already
solves half your problems.
That already solves half your problems.
Why? Because you realize the good and
the bad both come from Hashem.
The [snorts] stick and the staff both
are from Hashem. That's what David says.
So now when a person doesn't think that
way, his life turns into just one big
curse. Jeremiah says his person is
cursed. Why? Because he's constantly
turns himself into a victim. All the
things that are bad that are happening
to him, he thinks it's bad happening to
him. Like he's the one that it's
happening to. this woman didn't give him
a tip after three months and this guy
didn't uh pay him his money back and
this this thing happened to him. He's a
victim, but in reality he doesn't
realize all of it is from Hashem.
Hashem is doing all of these things in
order to guide you to where he wants you
to be
