Life Changing Flight - R. Yaakov Moskowitz - TorahAnytime.com

told me an amazing story bashimrashor you know we've all heard of urri zohar urri zor was a famous Israeli actor and director and he ended up becoming a bachuva and lived a powerful life of Torah and vic pashm and ended up affecting so many more people within the chuva movement but what is it that made uri zohar and he said what happened was he was going on a plane one time and typically he would bring a book along with him to be able to read to keep him occupied on the flight well one time he forgot got his book, he was stuck without anything to do on that flight. And in turn, he was forced to actually think about his life. And that caused him to realize, whoa, what am I doing? What am I accomplishing? Can I be accomplishing more? Can I be living a life with more fulfillment in it and that's what led him to become a Bouva. We call this making a bin. really stopping and reflecting on my life on what my actions have been and what I truly want to accomplish. The misilash shar brings down the garra that tells us that those who have ruled over the sahara already give us advice us who are still dealing with the sahara and facing those challenges and what's the advice they give us go and make a hanesh and brookke wonders he says you know what is the gain of making a hanesh that means reflecting on what I've done that means stopping and thinking okay but what's the practical advice give me something pract practical to be able to get me out of this mess, out of my struggles with the Sahara. He says, you know, imagine if there's a fellow who's suffering a financial crisis. He goes to a financial advisor and he tells him, you know what you need to do? You need to think about your finances. Thank you. That's such great advice. No, give me something practical. Give me something real. So, I know I need to think about my finances, but give me practical tips to be able to get out of this mess. So, what are these people telling us? go and make a hanesh. He says because ultimately the only way for us to truly accomplish in our battle with the Sahara is if we stop and if we think the answers lie within ourselves. We need to stop and think what makes me tick. What are my midos like? What's driving me to have this desire? What's causing me to act in this way? And in turn, we can truly understand what we need to do to be able to change. The answers are within us. We just need to stop and reflect like Uri Zohar did to take the time thinking about what's going on
