Welcome to our B series episode number
0:10
15 the basa Ley now tells us that if we
0:15
have these Concepts clear and we
0:19
understand that we're only doing our
0:22
hisl as a work tax but not that God
0:25
needs it what happens if we're in a
0:28
situation that there is nothing that we
0:30
can do he gives an example
0:35
El is it's time of famine he's stuck
0:39
he's at the side of a river and then God
0:42
tells him to leave and there's no food
0:43
there's nothing to eat what do God then
0:46
do he makes a miracle and Ravens come
0:49
and bring him his food rimai is is a
0:53
fugitive he's in a cave he has nothing
0:56
to eat God makes a miracle and create a
1:00
carab tree what's the lesson says the
1:03
bet if we can't do anything we are
1:07
absolved we're absolved from our work
1:09
tax and God can't penalize
1:12
us you didn't do anything wrong you
1:15
tried your best and that's all you have
1:18
to do and when you there's nothing else
1:19
to do that's when God is now going to
1:22
kick in because you did your best and
1:26
that's an important lesson now one might
1:30
say hold on what does this story of
1:34
elahi have to do with me what does the
1:38
story of have to do with me and it's
1:41
interesting that the also brings down
1:43
such stories he brings down the man as
1:45
well and that's telling us that just
1:48
because we not might not Merit open
1:52
Miracles but there are small miracles
1:55
that we can see
1:57
where will show us I'm involved in your
2:00
life and I'm taking care of
2:03
you there's a story that I uh told Once
2:07
Upon a
2:08
Time of a man in the early 1900s when
2:12
Shabbat was a big test for people and he
2:15
used to every Friday would go home
2:19
knowing that probably he's not going to
2:20
get his job back when he doesn't come on
2:22
Shabbat when he shows up Monday morning
2:23
going to fire him one Friday on the way
2:26
home he had no money in his pocket it
2:28
seems they weren't going to pay until he
2:30
come came the next
2:31
Shabbat and he was tempted to just go to
2:36
work on Shabbat and as he's walking home
2:39
he doesn't know how he's going to buy
2:40
any food he's going to have to borrow
2:42
money again on a garbage can he sees a
2:45
loaf of bread a loaf of Kala and he
2:48
takes it and he takes as a sign from God
2:50
that he's taking care of him this is his
2:53
man and he goes and he commits himself
2:56
to
2:57
shabbat when I told this story there was
2:59
a lady lady that was bothered by the
3:00
story says who's taking a loaf of bread
3:02
off a garbage
3:03
can okay not long after this lady was
3:07
making a Bim visit and she came to an
3:10
older lady's house and the lady had been
3:12
given uh loaves of Kala for Shabbat by
3:16
by uh benefactors and she didn't e all
3:18
those loaves so she gave this lady a
3:21
loaf of bread and it was wrapped in
3:23
Saran Wrap with a bow and the lady came
3:25
to tell me the story and said look
3:27
Hashem knows that I wouldn't take a loaf
3:29
of bread just like that he puts San wrap
3:31
and a bow around
3:33
it even today will be involved in our
3:36
lives we might not see it openly like
3:39
El but we do our best God will be there
3:42
because he's not going to penalize us if
3:45
we weren't able to pay off our work tax
3:48
have a wonderful
3:52
day
