Understanding The Value | Rabbi Ari Neuwirth

Every human has a unique Neshama that is evident through a person's eyes. We all are aware of fingerprinting. A finger has 40 characteristics, but you know that the iris of an eye has 256 different characteristics! That's how great the eye is! But let me share with you other components of the eye. If you want a bond with a person, you look into their eyes. you want to connect with a person. That's how great the eyes are. What a great gift! The Manchester Rosh Hayeshiva Rev Zev Segal was known to understand the great depth of the eye. Many people came to see him each day, men, women, and children. But he made sure not to look at women, especially cause some of them were not dressed appropriately. He would always have them sit on his left side. Why? Because he had a cyst in his eye. that prohibited him from being able to see from his left side and therefore didn't see the women when he walked in the streets He tilted his head to the ground and would mumble: V’loh Sosuru Acharei Lvavchem Vacharei Eneichem Don't stray after your heart and your eyes. One time the Manchester Rosh Hayeshiva was in America and he requested to stay in Monroe for Shabbos with the Samar Rebbe - Reb Yoel Teitelbaum His Talmudim asked him: Rebi, why do you wanna stay with the Satmar Rebbe? He can't speak. He can't converse. What are you gonna be doing in Monroe? The Manchester Rosh Yeshiva says: I don't need to talk to the Satmar Rebbe. I don't need to converse with the Satmar Rebbe. All I want to do is look into his pure and holy eyes. This man from the time he was a young boy, never looked at anything inappropriate. Look, the Manchester Yeshiva understood the value of an eye. Let's do the same. Let's treat our eyes properly. They're holy. They're special.
