Vienna On Fire

This Torah class is brought to [music] you by tora anytime.com. >> A Torah Anytime original series. This is from my friend Rabavi all the way in Vienna, Austria. Did you know that almost every great composer [music] in history came from one city, Vienna, Austria? And this isn't an exaggeration. Historians estimate that 20 to 30 of the most influential composers in [music] human history were either born in Vienna or their genius formed there. Mozart, Beethoven, [music] Hayden, Schubert, Bronze, Mer Strauss. How was that even possible? The answer is that it wasn't an accident. [music] It was a culture. Vienna wasn't just a city. It was a musical engine. For nearly 200 years, kings in Vienna loved music and they funded [music] it. And they built conservatories and they sponsored orchestras. They talked about it. They loved it. They mastered it. So you know what [music] happened? Parents respected it and kids dreamed about it and music became greatness. [music] And when a city treats something like greatness, greatness grows there. Now ask the real question. Why did you lion produce the greatest spiritual giants the world has ever known? You [music] want to know why? Not because it was easy, but because Tyra was loved there. It was spoken about with awe. It was treated as the highest calling a human being could have. If we want children who grow in Tyra, we don't need better Abu Sububan programs, we need better love. Our children shouldn't need a [music] microscope to figure out if we love Hashem's Tyra. It should be it should hit them in the face the moment we walk into the room. When [music] they see that Tyra excites us, when it animates our conversations, when it's what we celebrate. Children don't grow towards what we say matters. They [music] grow towards what we clearly love. If we want the next generation to carry to [music] Tyra forward, our love for it shouldn't need an explanation. It should be the loudest [music] thing in the room.
