What's The Value - Rabbi Meyer Yedid

pursuit that opens up says this world is not just nonsense it's the nonsense of nonsense and then repeats it again in case you missed it and then in the end just to cap it off he says it's all nonsense what a havarim does this I once saw a beautiful explanation. The story of a young man, a little boy starting kindergarten and he has his moa teaching him math. So she put up behind on the wall all the numbers and each day she would go through one number. Okay, that's number one. Let me explain to you one mean. One means one apple, one desk. She she had to write the number one and she next day number two. Same story. two apples, two desks, how to write number two, how to use number two, and then three and four. And finally, she made a C on all the numbers. And there's one young man, one little boy. He says, "Mora, hold on. There's one number that you didn't teach us." So, which one? She says, "Before the one, there's a circle. What number is that?" Oh. Oh, yeah. You're right. Oh, that one is zero. Zero Mora is how many apples are zero apples. So the Mora laughs and says zero apples. No apples. Kid says no apples. Says why would they make a number for something that doesn't exist? Smart young man. So the moral looks at him and says zero is a very interesting number because by itself it's worthless. But if you put a number next to it, not only does it become worth something, it turns the other number and makes it 10 times more. You put a one comes a 10. You put a two comes 20. It keeps multiplying. [Music] This world the that Hashem gives us how much is worth how much your house is worth in reality zero. How much money is worth in reality? Zero. This world the physical world says is 0 0. It's worth nothing because it expires and it doesn't have any real value. There's no intrinsic value. [Music] when when is the physical world zero you know when when your life is all about the physical world. If that's all you live for to eat and drink and to just have physical pleasures then you're living a life of a zero. But if you put real value, if you put the into your then all of a sudden the zeros become big numbers. Your money becomes your time becomes Torah. Everything you have becomes so valuable. [Music]
