The Visit To The Graveyard - RABBI YAAKOV GALLINSKY | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

[Music] 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 [Music] Hashem and say thank you for 1 2 3 1 2 3 [Music]
