Holy Ski Trip - R. Don Jarashow - TorahAnytime.com

And one time my father told me he went skiing and he had a great trip and he spent an hour 2 hours. It was an hour each way. He went all the way to Montana. Why not? Because he already took care of that posh to say the words. He said other maybe I remember but the point was he wanted to go there to bring sanctity. When was the last time that it was shar in Montana? Maybe there's a kabad. But the point was he wanted to go bring kadusha there, which I thought was such a beautiful thing. All the oppression, all the wandering. It's not meaningless. It's not in a vacuum. It's not unprecedented. It's not like Hashem forgot about us. Hashem wants us to go through this world. Hashem wants us to experience things. Hashem wants us to go through these challenges. Why? For one specific, one central purpose. And that is to extract kadusha. to take it out to go to these random farong places and elevate it and be in the and with one and a and a learning and the that we have to strengthen ourselves in those times in those places in those lands under jurisdictions under cruel evil kings and over our history we're a nation that's been around since gracious we're like none other and here we are and we keep on going and why does well it's all one we keep on going and we're going to be able to endure and sustain in ourselves. Why? Because we're so strong. Because we realize that we're on a mission. We're here to be mad. We're here to lift. And that's what keeps us going. And we keep on going. We have to do the same thing. We're going to get we're going to wander. And there's going to be a holocaust on October 7th and the Spanish Inquisition. All these things we have to go through it to stay strong to remember who we are to claim our sense of identity. and in all those places and to all those times of periods those chapters of history to hold on to the truth to hold on to the truth of the same this is the point this is the focal point this is the fruit of our prayers of our wandering of all these of all these oppressions one thing it is all to bring Hashem to make this world a better and holier
