Instead of looking at the world around
us, we'd always have to look at our
ourselves first. It's one of the most
important things in the world because
every time someone has a problem, it's
very easy to point somewhere else. I
used to do it a lot. It's very easy to
point somewhere else. Which reminds me
of a story. There was one time a Jew
that had a little boy and he told his
wife, "Listen, I want to send my boy to
yeshiva." But in those days, they used
to send the boy, you know, far away.
Well, the boy would go away for 20
years, come back as a grown man.
But Torah scholar, the mom said,
"Listen, it's my only boy. I can't I
can't do it. It's going to break my
heart. I've been waiting for him my
whole life. Let's go ask the rabbi."
You go to a rabbi and the rabbi says,
"Listen, your wife is right. He's your
only son. You have extra money. You're
in a jewelry business.
Hire a rabbi to come to your house every
day. Teach your son Torah."
In those days, they respected the rabbi.
So he said, "What?" He did what the
rabbi said.
Hired a rabbi.
Rabbi comes to the house and starts
teaching the boy every day. 20 years
later that rabbi goes to the father and
he says even though it's going to hurt
my pas
I can't teach your son anything 20 years
I'm teaching him he knows everything I
know and probably even more if I come
here one more day you're just wasting
your money said thank you very much for
being honest
the rabbi leaves the son is very excited
this is the first time he gets to get
out of the house 20 years he's only
learning to it wasn't like today where
the kids are constantly outside.
Back then they would stay inside a
little bit and learn some Tawa. So 20
years he's learning Torah and that's all
he did. First time he wants to go
outside. He says, "Aba, I want to go to
the shook. I want to go to the market."
Go ahead, son. So the kid goes to the
market. He has no concept of what the
world is like.
He goes to the market. He sees a
lemonade stand. He says, "Can I have a
lemonade?" Guy says, "Sure." He gives
him a lemonade. He goes, "Five laser."
Goes, "Five laser? I don't have 5
minutes, but I'll give you I'll give you
uh you know some
guy snatches
the lemonade from me. He goes, "You're
get out of here." Either five five laser
or nothing. The kid gets so upset. He
runs to the house. He takes his hat. He
takes his keeper. He throws it in the
house. He goes, "What? 20 years I spent
and I wasted
studying this Torah and I can't even get
a cup of lemonade.
can't even get a cup of lemonade with
this.
Abba, no more.
This Abba was pretty smart. So he said,
"Okay, son. What do you want to do?" He
goes, "I want to be like you. I want to
sell diamonds." He goes, "Okay." Aba
goes to the safe. He opens the safe. He
goes, "Son, this is my most expensive
diamond. Don't sell it. Go to the same
shook. Go to the same market and get me
three prices." He's so excited. He takes
this big diamond, runs to the market.
First guy says 250.
Second guy says 500. The third guy is up
to a,000. Comes to the house says, "Aba,
I think we got him." Aba, the guy wants
to give me a,000 four times what the
first guy wanted to give me. We should
really sell it. Aba, we shouldn't wait.
He says, "Hold on one second. Go to a
different shirt. Maybe, maybe, just
maybe we can get a better price." He
sends it to a different market. First
guy says 50,000.
Second guy says 250,000
and the last guy says half a million.
The kid doesn't know what to do with
himself. How could it be? Yesterday was
a,000. It was the best thing I could
get. Today 500,000. What can happen in
one day? He goes back to the ABA. He
says, "Aba, what happened? If you're not
going to sell for 500,000, I don't know
who you're going to sell it for. But
anyway, what happened? How could it be?
Because the first market you went to,
there was a market for lemonade. They
were selling fruits, vegetables. They
don't know anything about diamonds.
So they said, "It's a rock. It's a nice
rock. It's pretty. They'll give you a
thousand." The second market was the
diamond dealers. They know what the
diamond is. Well, they're paying you
full price.
The first market you went to, they
didn't know anything about Torah. They
said it's not even worth to them. It's
not even worth the lemonade.
If you go to the right crowd, people
that actually know what Tua is, half a
million would just be the starting
place. And that's the thing we have to
understand is that Torah is not
something it's not like math, it's not
like science, it's not like any other
subject, it's something extraordinary.
When someone has Torah, they have
everything
for more Torah. 1 2 3
