And before I moved to Pine Lake Park, I decided I want to go with my family. My little my kids were my oldest son was five at the time. And I decided before I go down, before we like move in, I just wanted to get used to the neighborhood. I wanted to see what goes on. I wanted to see the houses. I wanted to see the kids. So, it's a hot hot summer day. And we go to the sprinkler park and there's a bunch of these sprinklers. You hit the sensor and it shoots out water. Ishmach, it's fun. problem was that there were so many kids there and my other kids were there and there was one sprinkler that wasn't working and there was a whole fight between all the kids and my kids who should wait and who should the whole line like every every ride everything fun you have to wait and fight and it's part of the fun right and my oldest son he was I think he was five at the time and he's standing by this broken on and he says, "Aba, anything we can do? I'm bored. I'm starts fetching. Want to leave?" I'm like, "No, everyone else having fun. You just wait online. Wait your turn. You'll get there." And he says, "No, no, aba, come on. Like, just make it work. You could do something. Figure it out." I said, "And look, the thing is broken. It's not not turning on. It's a hot day. I know you want to have fun and everyone else, but wait your turn." And my son looked at me all the five years old and he said, "Aba, don't you believe in zeden that Hashem can do anything?" Said, "Whoa, yeah, Hashem can do anything, but the thing is thing is 100% broken." He said, "Yeah, but you say we dive in and we believe in Hashem can do anything. So I don't understand why should this be excluded from Hashem's capability and can do anything including this. So I didn't want to break the news to him and tell him that this is very highly unlikely but I also didn't want to spoil it and I said you know what let's take a chance. What's the worst that can happen? So in the middle of Manchester, New Jersey on this hot summer day. So other guy over there and my son and I, my wife and my other kids are aim. They watch this happen unfolded in front of their eyes. We start dinge and we're saying, "Hashem, I believe that you can do anything, including making this rusty, broken sprinkler. You can make this start working too. I kid you not. Middle of the capitol. All of a sudden, know the noise. All of a sudden, in front of our eyes, mamish nigler happened.

I don't have a long beard. It's short. It's brown. So, what happened? The answer is that sometimes, sometimes, not always, Hashem can mamish do magic. Hashem can really change when it's coming from a pure place. Not to say always that Hashem is going to just make miracles for us, but when it's coming from pure and we really believe in it, sometimes Yeshua is smish in front of your eye. could literally take place. Things seem broken. The same thing that hasn't worked in years. You say, you know, someone who's sick, you know, someone needs a rafu. And in a moment of truth and quiet, and you really plug in, you really tap in. Someone needs a someone needs, someone needs a so many things that we need. And you say the is real. It's a gift.
