An Elevating Flight | Yitzy Waldner

Heilige Vayimaen Yidden, it’s such an honor and a privilege for me to be able to give any kind of Chizuk. Who am I to give Chizuk to so many Heilige Yidden? But I myself derive so much benefit from Vayimaen, so it's the least I could do. We know the famous Gemara, Someone wants to come to be מטהר himself, to elevate himself, to cleanse himself, HaKadosh Baruch Hu helps him. I want to share with you a story that happened with some of my family members this past summer. For the sake of anonymity, we'll call them Yossi and Moishy. Yossi had a dream to go and be Rosh Hashanah with his Rebbe, this past Rosh Hashanah in Eretz Yisroel. Yossi asked Moishy: Do you want to travel with me? And Moishy said: Yes, of course. But Yossi, being a Vayimaen Yid, and Moishy, as well, Yossi came across a video where the video of Vayimaen showed was where someone, a father of a Bar Mitzvah Bochur wanted to take his son to R’ Wosner zt”l to put him on Tefillin. R’ Wosner instructed him not to bring him to Eretz Israel from England, because the Nisyonos that the boy will go through, through the airports and the Shmiras HaEinayim issues, he didn't want the boy to be exposed to that. Better put on Tefillin in England and keep the boy Tahor. So Yossi saw this video, he says: I'm going to go to Eretz Yisroel to be with my Rebbe on Rosh Hashanah. What am I going to do? So let me elevate, let me try to change my airport experience a little bit. So he informs Moishy, In the airport itself, I'm going to take my glasses off. Moishy, being an ehrliche Yid, as well, he said: You’ll guide me where we’re going. They get onto the airplane, and Yossi sits down by the window, Moishy sits down next to him. Yossi's screen immediately freezes, even the flight path doesn't work. Moishy’s screen works. These are not people that are watching movies or videos, and Moishy’s screen was on the flight path, showing where they're going. But listen to this. Halfway through the flight, they'd made up they're going to switch seats where Moishy will sit by the window and Yossi will switch seats so Moishy can lean against the wall. Moishy and Yossi switch seats. You guessed it. What happened? Yossi sat down and immediately the middle seat screen froze. Moishy’s screen, on the other hand, started working like this. Again, we're talking about flight path and weather. We're not talking about movies. But... Someone who wants to make a move to become Shomer Einayim, to be מטהר himself, the Ribono shel Olam will help you. Yossi said he felt ממש chills on his spine that the Ribono shel Olam was telling him, You'll make a move and you want to come to Eretz Yisroel for the right reason, I will make sure that you don't even have the Nisayon to switch a channel. הבא ליטהר מסייעין אותו. Let's be מחזק ourselves, let's make that move and we will get help from HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
