This Torah class is brought to you by Torahanytime.com The Holy Sadik, Erb-ul-Ameelach of the Jens, had a famous time at their Moshe-Layb Sassever. He was well known for his tremendous love of every Jew. It's one year of Moshe-Layb spent paysach at the home of his venerable rabbi, the Noem-ul-Ameelach. While they were conducting the seder, Erb-ul-Ameelach of the Jens turns to Erb-ul-Ameelach and he asks him, can you please tell us about the Torah? Her Moshe-Layb says, in Pasha's boy, the Torah says, if one day your children will ask you, why do we bring a carbon paysach every year? If I'm out there and you should tell them, Asha-Pasach-A-Bate-Bene Israel, on the night of Makkah's Makhirahs, Hashem passed over the Jewish houses in its rhyme, but knocked by its mits rhyme when he smote Egyptians, and all of the Jewish firstborns were saved. Sir Moshe-Layb asked, why does the Torah say, Asha-Pasach-A-Bate-Bene Israel? Al means on top, which implies that Hashem was on top of the Jewish homes.
Would it not have been more appropriate to say, Asha-Pasach may al-Bate Israel, that Hashem skipped over the Jewish homes. Hashem was not on top of their homes, he jumped over their homes. At that point, a Moshe-Layb turned to the crowd and he said something incredible. Haqad-Ushbah, whose love for every year was so great, and he cherished every year with such passion that when he came to a Jewish home, Asha-Pasach-A-Bate-Bene Israel didn't just skip over their homes, but rather, he stepped onto their roof, and he started to dance on top of the roof. And what tremendous love and excitement Asha-Pasach-A-Bate-Bene Israel said, Duvantayit, Duvantayit, here lives the Jew. And Aramach-A-Layb kept on repeating it, Duvantayit. And as he was giving this explanation, he kept on repeating this phrase again and again. Each time, with more excitement, until his emotions overtook him. Then all of a sudden, he jumped onto the rabbi's table and he started to sing and dance with tremendous himchah.
And he pointed to all of the people in the crowd, and he said, Duvantayit, and before long, all the Hasidim joined him. And in unison, they all began screaming and shouting, Duvantayit. Just like Farashem Mehmet Sarayim, Thiramach-A-Layb, it didn't matter what type of yit, or what level of observance, from the depths of his heart, to the fiery passion for every yit that burns so strongly within him. There's a fascinating autobiography called Out of the Dets, written by the former chief rabbi of Israel, of Sharmair-Law. In it, he describes how after a war, having tragically lost his parents, he lived with his uncle, rabbi Fogelman, and Keerat-Motskin and Haifa. At the time, there was a common issue with many Israeli towns, something that still exists today. The secular residents wanted bus service on Chabis, while the religious residents did not want public Chabis on the streets.
One week, a new bus route was scheduled to begin running through Keerat-Motskin on Chabis. Rabbi Fogelman gathered people together to protest. The plan was, they would go into the street, block the bus on six Chabis songs. So on Chabis, right after Mosif, they waited for the bus. But just before the bus arrived, Rabbi Fogelman told the people something surprising. Don't block the bus. Don't scream Chabis. Don't sing. I'm going to do something else. As the bus approached, he removed his talus, he walked onto the street, and he gently spread the talus across the road in front of the bus. The bus driver slowed down and he stopped. He gets off the bus, he gets off the bus, and he says, it's called a rave. You know I can't drive over a talus. So Rabbi Fogelman answered them. If you know that you can't drive over a talus, then you should definitely know that you can't drive on Chabis. And he banned in the bus.
Do van taït. Sooner or later, the whole in the Shama burst forth from every Jew or so. We never know what trig is the pinta leït. Sometimes it's a spar don't call nidre. Sometimes while lighting Chabis candles. Or perhaps during an inspiring comes its. For some, it's on the night of Paisach while wearing a white kettle. Every year is special. Every year is a holy Nishama, a microcosm of Hashem. No matter how far gone Hashem does not forsake any of his children. On the night we imbue our children with the values and the Messiah that was passed down to us, there's no doubt that Hashem would drop onto our roofs and dance and scream out with pride. Do van taït. And we know. Have a wonderful day. You just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torahanytime.com.
