Hitting Your Goal By Rabbi Uri Lati

Rav Shalomadron the famous mid had a weekly class and he had a student that came to his class let's say 6 months didn't miss one night finally he comes in the seventh month they're starting the class back again he sees the student's not here one night two night two nights three nights where's the student after a week of seeing me he didn't come he knocks on his door he he finds out where he lives his address he knocks on his door he says no slimy slimy Hey, you know, for a week straight, you didn't come to class. What's going on, Rabbi? I'm embarrassed to tell you, but uh the World Cup is on. What? What's What's the World Cup? World Cup? What's What's World Cup? What does that mean? Look, Rabbi, you really want me to explain it to you? So, the World Cup, it's a soccer, okay? It's a soccer championship. There's 11 players. One of them is the goalie on each team, and they have to shoot the ball and make sure that the ball goes in, but the problem is you have a goalkeeper. He tells him the whole story. So, the rabbit says, "What's the problem? Let's go me and you right now to the park and we'll shoot goals. We'll play soccer. What's the problem? I'll do it with me and you. He said, "No, Rabbi, it's the whole suspense. It's the whole drama. It's the whole action. Rabbi, I can't explain it to you." So the rabbi says, "So the whole goal, the whole goal of the game is to shoot the ball, to kick the ball into the other goal. But the problem is you have a person that's there. No problem. He's not there now. Let's go, me and you. We'll go to the park. He's not there now. We'll kick goals from here to tomorrow morning and we'll have a good time. Said, "Rabbi, I'm sorry, but you're not getting it." The whole point of the game is to try to bring a goal to kick the ball when there's someone stopping you. Oh, we hear what you're saying. It's very easy to come to class when you don't have anybody stopping you. It's very easy to come to class when you don't have a goalie, when you don't have a goalkeeper, when there's no struggles, there's no test, there's no tribulations. You know when it's hard to come to class? When is someone stabbing you? When the evil clinic is telling you, "What's the point of the class? What's the point? Please, who do you think you are? You think you're going to amount to anything? You're going to be like Abrahamu? You're going to be like it's who do you think you are?" But you go to that class. You do the mitzvah. You wake up early in the morning and you bring it. You kick a field goal. You kick it in. You know what ends up happening? You have the with the struggles in your life. You have the revelation of God. [Music]
