In 1943 1944
the Jews are we know the Jews in Europe
the ones who are still alive are in a
con in concentration camps all over
Europe
suffering unimaginable existence
and it's such an existence for the blueb
and his who were in one particular camp
many of his were together with him and
this great saddic was asked by his the
very the requested a miracle and they
said to the Reb, "Can you please go over
to this Jewish capo, the Jewish
collaborator?" Many unfortunately there
were many Jewish people who decided, you
know what, it's easier for me to be on
the Nazi side and be involved in
supervising the Jewish workers and to be
involved in very often sometimes their
torturous situations
than to be the tortured.
So they were Jewish collaborators. They
were called capos
and one one kappo was in charge of this
particular place where the blujba was
this great sadic and his and they said
could you please go over to that kappo
they asked the rebba and tomorrow it's
yum kipper we don't want to break the
laws of kipper we have to do work every
single day we know that but if he can
adjust the work and they knew and he
knew these guys very often they learned
kamarra and they learned tra and they
knew the difference between a dice
versus
and they said could you please go over
to him and ask him maybe tomorrow when
we show up for work can you adjust the
work that we shouldn't break any Torah
laws could just be only rabbitic laws
and we can actually fulfill the laws of
yam kipper in the concentration camp
imaginable request the request itself
is miraculous
and when he went over and he asked the
Jew knew the Kappa was very dismissive
and told the Reb, "Please get out of
here. Please move. I'm not interested."
But yet the next day when the Jew showed
up for work,
what happened? He adjusted the work. And
the story goes, and there are many
witnesses to this story because many
people were there. The bluebi survived
with his they survived the war. They
live to say over this story that the
Jews were actually singing while they
were doing work in the gem of Awitz. And
while they were doing the work they were
literally singing whatever they
remembered of the Yum Kipper Davin they
were singing by heart
celebrating the fact that they were able
to keep the the rice and laws of Yum
Kipper. What an incredible sight if the
story ended right here. It would be an
amazing story.
But it doesn't end there say
because while every single day a Jew
basically received about 300 calories of
rations from the Nazis
on this particular day the doors opened
up and Nazis open up rolled in a table
with all types of delicious delicacies
and says Jews
you're eating today.
And it was the most horrific sight you
can ever imagine no matter how hungry
they might have been.
And what they saw next by side no one in
the world could have believed
that Kappo
that Kappa who dismissed the Reb
yesterday but that Kappa who somehow a
spark was lit in his a spark that we
have all in our said don't have to be so
embedded so deep that's all right on the
surface ready to be ignited on a daily
basis but that capo something happened
where he went over to the Nazi He rolled
in the table and rolled in all the fancy
food
and he said, "Uh, we're not eating
today. Today is Yom Kipper. It's our
holiest day.
We're not eating today."
Nazi looks at him. We're not eating
today. You're not eating today? Are you
out of your mind? Okay. Yes, you're
eating today. And the Jews are eating
today. And he takes out a gun and he
repeats those words and he points a gun
right to his head and the horror is in
the gehenn
of Awitz
and he points the gun to his head and he
says, "Jew, you're eating and they're
eating because otherwise it'll be the
last thing you ever see in your life."
and looking down the barrel of a of a
gun, Rabbi Sai,
he said, "You are eating today." He
says, "The the Jew answers," no today's
yum kipper,
we're not eating today.
With those words, he died
that Nazi
killed him. to the absolute shock and
amazement of the bluebased
that a Jew yesterday you would not give
a literally a wooden nickel for his in
you would say what's what's possible for
this Jew a collaborated with the Nazis
and literally in just seconds something
happened in minutes and he transformed
himself to somebody who's really willing
to look at the barrel of a gun and say
we're not eating today cuz it's yum
kiper our holiest day what did you
believe a minute ago what did you
believe yesterday
her boy say that's the shai.
How do you sell any Jew short? How do
you not understand that what we've been
given the shama that we have is a unique
nishama. It's that same spark that for
the last 3,000 years we have endured no
matter what the world throws at us.
