Living a Life of Royalty | Rabbi Joey Haber

[Music] you have a look around and say the whole world's doing it why shouldn't I be doing it too the whole world looks like they're having fun you drive through New York City and it looks like the place is a blessed wow look at that that theater that place I got to go there if everyone else is doing why don't I go there too I like to share with you an answer from an incredible Mas from theim says there was once a king and and the King was riding on the road with his Chariot with many stallions horses in front and stallions behind and officers on those horses and he stops at a spot and he sees on the side of the road in the dirt in the mud is a man a young man and he looks homeless he's tattered clothing overgrown foul odor and he tells one of his officers put this man on the Chariot the officer says your highness are you sure he says I'm sure he puts the man on the Chariot and brings him to the palace and the King says give him a shower give him a hiccup give him a shave give him new clothing you know what give him something to eat put him in a beautiful fresh room and he puts the young man they set him up with all that stuff and the next day the king says you know what let's start giving him education let's teach him science let's teach him math let's teach him culture and sophistication and etiquette and they do so for a few years finally after 3 years the king says he's ready he's ready to marry the princess he's ready to marry my daughter and the King makes a gorgeous Affair you humongous Hall High ceilings beautiful drapery dishes and governors from all over the land every meat every delicacy gold and silver a beautiful wedding and after the wedding is over the new prince and princess leave the hall happy 3 months later the king is driving on the road and he's riding in his Chariot and he has Stallions in front of him and behind and he has many officers and it's pouring rain and he stops at a spot and he all sudden looks on the side of the road at the same spot and there's a puddle and it's muddy and dirty and in the puddle is the same guy the prince he says what I gave you a chance to live in the palace I gave you a chance to live a life of royalty you went back to the mud stay there says theem says to the Jewish people I gave you a chance to live in the palace I know the rest of the world is running after all those images they never had the same opportunity as you they never had a chance to learn sophistication and culture they don't have a Shabbat they don't know the beauty of sitting at a Friday night table they never had a chance to Dove to me they never had a chance to make a better aan food they never had a chance to have our marriage of course they're running after all the mud because they never had a chance to live in the palace but you were given a chance to live like royalty why would you run after that see you want to know why the world is running after nonsense cuz they don't know the alternative you do don't ever find yourself in the mud when you have a chance to live in the palace [Music]
