A Greeting from God | Joey Newcomb

השם עוז לעמו יתן עוז לעמו יתן השם עוז לעמו יתן Oy, Vayimaen. How do you like that rhyme right there? The bottom line is is that a Yid has a lot more strength than he knows about. Nishmas Yisroel is on fire with strength, with עוז, and השם עוז לעמו יתן. למעשה, a lot of times we’re מייאש on ourselves, we give up on ourselves. Listen, you know, we base things off statistics. So, like yeah, listen, you know, I failed this many times. Tachlis is is that we have Kochos and we got to tap into those Kochos, and בתחבולות תעשה מלחמה and we're going to make it happen. But I heard an amazing מעשה, that just reveals how much strength a Yid has. Amazing מעשה. I was playing at a certain event and at this event, a certain doctor got up to speak. And he said: I called my brother and I said: What am I supposed to do? I'm a doctor in New York City, and the way people come in dressed is bad enough, and on top of that, very often, obviously, you have to work with men and women. And it's just not שייך for me, there's no way that I could have Shmiras Einayim in my position. I'm just going to have to live and suffer through this תאוה my whole life. His brother told him: You're a doctor and you have this issue that's ממש a בפירוש Gemara in תענית. There was a Yid and he was a doctor and his name was Aba Umna. And the Tzaddikim in the Gemara were מעיד about him that every single morning, a בת קול came out from Shomayim and said: Shalom Aleichem, Aba Umna. Can you imagine? Must have been a Heilige Yid, a holy man. What did he do to make him zoche to receive a בת קול every morning, Shalom Aleichem, Aba Umna? So the Gemara says in one of the reasons that he had a unique technique in his office. If he ever had to work or operate on a woman, he had a special gown, that the gown could open up in different areas and only the area that he had to operate on was the part that he opened, so he would always protect his eyes from ever having to look at things he shouldn't look at. Can you imagine, if a Yid holds back, the Aibishter says: Shalom Aleichem, R’ Yid. Gevald! So this doctor, he heard the Gemara and he's like: Wow, that's literally my story. Maybe I should do that. And he looked online and he ordered a bunch of gowns. And at first, he was hesitant. Should I order the gowns? Should I not order the gowns? Is it weird? I'm going to be the only doctor in his practice that does this. Is it strange? It's going to be a big cost. He looked up all the details. It’s going to be a nice expense on the company. But למעשה, he decided: I have התעוררות. This is what Hashem wants. He’s ordering the gowns. He clicks Buy and then he opens up his email to check that he got a receipt for what he’s ordered. The first email that came in, רבותיי, the first email that came in, before the receipt, was an email that said that the government had forgiven a certain loan, that he was working on for months to try to get it forgiven. It was a big chunk of money that he was going to have to owe and it was forgiven. The loan was forgiven. Unbelievable. He made a move, he was Moser Nefesh for the Aibishter, even though he wasn't sure how it would affect his business. Boom! He saw שפע come right in. And he was standing there and he told the Olam, To this day, if a woman comes in, they put on the gown, and I only saw success in my business. And I found a way to even make it happen in a place where it's hard to make it happen. The Aibishter’s going to tell you: Shalom Aleichem, R’ Yid. All you got to do is hold back a little bit. לחיים טובים!
