There was once there was a queen. Her
name was Queen Elizabeth II. You guys
ever heard of her? You learn history in
the school, I'd imagine.
And there was a very important noble
woman whose name was, you know where
this is going. There was a very
important noble woman whose name was
Margaret Thatcher. Ever heard of her?
Is it
Margaret Thatcher was her name.
Let me tell you something.
One time
Margaret Thatcher
was fortunate enough to have a meeting
with
the queen, Queen Elizabeth.
And of course,
because it's such an important
opportunity, she had to dress the power,
make sure she looked pretty and adorned
properly,
royalty, majestic.
She's meeting with the queen after all.
With trepidation,
she walks up to the royal palace.
She's shaking.
meaning the queen, Queen Elizabeth,
powerful queen.
She knocks on the door.
The door caks open
and they say, "Come in." She's walking
slowly
and finally she catches glimpse
in the office of the queen. She sees
Queen Elizabeth
and all of a sudden her heart drops.
She realizes as she gets closer
she's wearing the same exact dress
as the queen.
She almost has a heart attack, but she
knows she has to meet her. She can't
just walk out, but she doesn't know how
she's going to sit in front of the
queen.
when she's wearing the same dress. So
embarrassing. It's brazen
to come with the same dress
as the queen herself. It's belittling to
her.
Now again, she couldn't do anything
about it. But coming in, it would be
very, very
scary thing.
She tries in her mind to put it out and
just to focus on what had to get done at
the meeting.
She sits down. They have the discussion
and she's feeling very uncomfortable the
entire time.
She thinks, should she say something?
Should she apologize? She says, "You
know what? I'm not going to say anything
now. It's not appropriate.
It's out of context. I'm meeting with
the queen. I'm not going to start
talking about my clothing and
apologizing.
And she leaves.
The next morning,
she's hoping
that the FBI is not going to come after
her and lock her up. After all, this was
a very grave
mistake.
No sirens, no horse and buggy coming
after quiet, regular sunny day.
And she says, "I have to apologize. I
have to do something about it." So she
writes a letter, a long lengthy letter
explaining and apologizing
and reiterating her true remorse, her
deep sorrow
that she was murus, that she
literally disgraced the queen, her
palace, the majesty.
long long long letter.
A couple weeks later,
she's waiting. What's going to be what's
going to happen?
A letter arrives at her door.
Who is it from? The queen. Heart is
pounding.
She opens the letter.
And the letter was short, concise,
and just a few words. And it read as
follows.
No need to apologize.
The queen does not look at what
commoners wear.
I'll say that again.
The queen does not look at what
commoners wear. You know what that
means?
That means that as a basel as we all are
daughters of the king of the daughters
of the king
of the melik of hashem.
We do our avod. We do what's right for
us. We don't look around. There are many
other sectors in Judaism, unfortunately.
There's conservative, there's reform,
they want to be everything that they're
not supposed to be. But when God gives
halas, when God tells us what to do,
when God says every day say no,
don't just say it.
Live it, breathe it, internalize it,
and realize that when we say
when God shows us from all the other
nations,
as Torah. So he gave us his Torah.
He gave it to me, to us, to you, in the
way he wanted, in the way he decided.
And we have to embrace it. Take it the
way God wants it.
And don't start looking around at what
everyone else says and what everyone
else is doing.
The way majesty, the way royalty
dictates is never to look around at
commoners.
Do what's right for you.
Do what God tells you and everyone else
can jump in a lake.
