Every single person in this room was
once upon a time sitting in Shmayim
with their little family circle when a
Malik came into Shay. Opened the door
and said,
"Rali Goldstein, your time has come to
descend onto this earth." Everyone's
looking around. Who's Raali Goldstein?
And it's you. and you stand up and your
whole section stands up. They're so
proud. This is your time. And they
escort you. You've great uncles there,
great grandparents, great great grand
your great great great grandparents
there. Everyone's escorting you to the
edge of Shmayam. And right before you
jump, you're handed by the Malik a
little seed. He says, "See this seed?
This is an isama.
Plant it. You take the seed, you put
into your pocket, you look back, you see
all your family members, their mom's
tearing, they're dinging, they're hoping
and praying that you give to them and to
their grandparents and to Hashem. And
you jump into this world. You get right
to work. You know that seed is
important. So, you put that seed into a
box to protect it. You put the box in
your room. You make sure the box has
proper lighting. Then you notice, okay,
people are painting their box
interesting colors. Oh, okay. So, you
paint your box interesting colors. And
then you see, oh, people are covering
their box with like this Gucci cloth,
but you can't afford Gucci cloth. So,
you get a second job. Then you see
people started covering their box with
this like Monontlair like fancy cloth.
You can't afford Monontlair fancy cloth.
So, you know what you do? You
marry a guy who's like, "Eh, but he has
a good job and has a lot of money, but
he's like, but whatever." And now you
could afford Monontlair cloth. And then
you saw that people are not doing metal
claw metal boxes anymore. So you ditch
the metal box. You go with wood like
this mahogany wood. People are really
into that. Then you see Saks Fifth has
this sale a new type of boxes with this
lip. So you get that box. And then you
see corduroy is really in styles. You
switch it with corduroy. Now your boxes
with corduroy. Then you see people have
these $900 diffusers around their box.
You're like, I got to get one of those.
So you get one of those around your box.
And then you see the gallery is saying
that everything you are wearing is last
year's season. It's unwearable. So you
go into the gallery and you get all the
new cloth to cover your box. This goes
on for 120 years. And you're sitting in
a hospital bed and the same Malik comes
back. He says, "I'm back.
Time to go."
And you're dead. And you go up to
Shmayam and there's a knock on the door
and the doors open and there's an
announcement. Raali Goldstein has come
back. There's a whole commotion. Your
whole family section rises to the feet.
They have such hope in their eyes. They
come crushing to the edge of Shamayam.
They're escorting. They're looking to
see the tree that came out of your seed.
and you're holding a seed and they're
like, "What?
You never you never planted the the
seed?" And you're like, "I took care of
the of the box."
The ma looks at you like, "You idiot."
and your great-grandparents and your
great great grandparents and your great
uncle was killed in Awitz and your great
nephew that was killed by a truck and
your great great uncle went off the deck
and it was at the last minute. They're
all looking at you like and they return
to their seats.
These are days
where we could really look at oursel and
see,
am I just building a box or am I
planting a seed?
