This young man and his wife, he didn't
have kids for 10 years. He reached the
level of yesh, despondence. He was done.
Like, okay, that's it. I'm I'm throwing
in the towel.
>> [music]
>> Every
day, every week, or may you say, this
young man would come over and cry,
literally with the mayor.
Words of God.
And say, "Rebby, it was another night.
It was another round of pain, of tears."
To no avail.
And it went on for years as he was
learning in [music] the mirror, but Reb
Meir was holding his hand, hand in hand
through the whole entire thing.
And literally years went by like this.
Every night he would say, "The pillow
was soaked again." And after feel this,
and after feel him, year after year, the
same story over and over. Back to the
doctor, more shots, IVF,
organizations, there are bondim, there
are askonim. And time was really Time
was thinning.
They were really reaching their breaking
point. They went to every rebbe, every
segulah,
every brocha, every kever.
It was Lag B'Omer time. The young man
was approached by his friend, by his
chavrusa, by his friend. And his friend
said it, "Mercy, I want to tell you
something. I don't want to be
insensitive.
I can't imagine the pain, the plight
that you're going through.
But I have one last suggestion before
you really
throw in the towel."
He says, "I'm I'm open to hear, of
course. Please."
He says, "Listen."
He says, "It's almost Lag B'Omer.
And there's this huge mega segulah
put down in this farm.
If you light I forgot the name of the
thing, but when you go to the Rashbi and
that's close for the chassidim maybe
know. You you you light you pour the oil
on the on that flax ball [music] before
they light the madura by the Rashbi.
There's a whole avodah for that.
But if you get that schuss by the
Rashbi, it's kimat batuach. It's It's
It's basically a promise that the schuss
is immense. It's unmatched. It's
unparallel. This schuss is mamash This
is the answer. This is the key.
And he
said well, okay. Thank you for letting
me know.
He went to the mayor and he went to the
mayor and he went to the mayor and he
asked the shala and he said okay, no
like
what can you lose? It's a big deal. Try
it. You might as well.
He's on the way to Meron and it cost
thousands and thousands of dollars to
get this cost.
He's on the way to Meron.
And all of a sudden he hops off this his
horse.
He's ready. He paid for this cost.
And he's getting himself like in the in
the mode like there's so many people and
all the attention and the spotlight.
And he's getting kind of nervous.
And all of a sudden this emotion,
[music] this sentiment hit him.
And he said, how is it possible
that right now after the 10 years that
I've been going through gehenna
in this world
after all of the nights
of soaking my pillow and my wife soaking
her pillow
and the tfillis and the shachris and all
the things that we do to be mishtabik to
all the mitzvahs and all the things that
we do to be mishtabik to the avishter.
If I
go ahead and do this, I light the
menorah
and I tachlis have kids
because of this cost
he said it's going to ruin my entire
yiddishkeit.
If the yiddishkeit if this is my
yiddishkeit
that after everything I've done,
everything I've invested in all these
years
didn't work for whatever reason cuz
Hashem decided.
And I'm going to go and light this match
and this thing is going to light up and
we're going to everyone's going to be
dancing and that's going to be the key.
He said this is not yiddishkeit for me.
And I'm so scared, he told the mayor
after he said I was so scared
that it would happen
that I would have kids
that I decided I'm turning around.
Because if had kids from that, it's
going to ruin my entire Yiddishkeit. My
amka, all of my filling, tallis,
everything is over.
Cuz I will not be able to comprehend. I
will not be able to live with myself for
the rest of my life knowing
that all that I put in, all that I've
invested over these years
didn't work, and somehow this worked.
What ended up happening with him? I
think he talked about kids. But, what
was the nakuda of this story? What was
the point? The point of it was to say
that it's all about relationship with
the Kadish Baruch.
What the answers are going to be,
what the safe possuk is going to be,
that's for the Abershter. Lo Abershter
my mean, we don't we don't know. It's
not Hashem didn't give that Hashem
didn't give the key to the answers and
clarity thoughts over here. But, one
thing is for sure that we take out of
this story this younger man
that didn't have kids,
is that he was willing not to have kids
in order that it shouldn't shter, it
shouldn't shake, it shouldn't ruin his
entire Yiddishkeit.
Because he knew it was all about
diviklus. He knew that Hashem gave him
this problem, that I should invest in
him, that I should run after him, that I
should chase the Abershter. And if I'm
not doing that, and I find some other
legal loophole,
that's going to ruin the entire thing
for me.
