Eternal Worlds of Reward | Rabbi Chaim Gershon Davis

The last Mishnah of all of Seder Mishnayos, of שישה סדרי משנה says, Hashem is going to give every Tzaddik 310 worlds, The pasuk says Hashem is going to give his beloved י”ש. י”ש is 310. 310 equals 310 worlds. Asks R’ Shimshon Pincus, The pasuk says 310, but who said worlds? Maybe it’s 310 cars. Maybe it’s 310 bags of gold. Says R’ Shimshon Pincus, If you walk into a store in America and you ask somebody, How much does it cost? They say: 100. What do they mean? 100 dollars, the currency of America. You walk into England. 100. What does 100 mean? 100 pounds. What is the currency in Shomayim by the Ribono shel Olam? Says R’ Shimshon Pincus, The Ribono shel Olam is eternal, He's forever. His currency is עולמות. Forever, Schar forever. R’ Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, the famous Rosh Yeshiva of Torah v’Da’as, he had a Minhag. He used to give a test to the boys in elementary school. If they got the question right, then he would give them a candy. One time, there was a boy at the end of the line. R’ Shraga Feivel asks him a question. He gives a beautiful answer. R’ Shraga Feivel reaches into his pocket. He doesn't have a candy. He says: I owe you a candy. Come to me for a candy. For some reason, the boy never came for a candy. Fast forward 45 years later. Now he's 55 years old. One day, he has a heart attack. They call Hatzalah. He goes into cardiac arrest. They're working on him. There's no pulse. Working for a long time. Suddenly, he opens his eyes. He says: I'm going to live. They said: What happened? He said: I was in Shomayim and I met R’ Shraga Feivel. He said: You know, well, your time was really up. But I came to בית דין של מעלה and I said: I owe this boy a candy. So they promised, he said, they're going to give you 15 more years. I don't understand something. What did R’ Shraga Feivel owe him? A candy. How much does a candy cost? 25 cents, maybe a dollar. You get 15 years of life for that? And the answer is, The candy was for a תירוץ, for Torah. In Shomayim, they don't pay with candies. In Shomayim, they pay with עולמות, 15 years of life, 15 years of opportunity. Rabosai, next time you are confronted with a Nisayon, Shmiras Einayim or anything else, you have to know this is not an issue I have to deal with, this is the greatest business deal. Grab it and you will get עולמות, forever.
