Hidden Blessings

0:00Morning everyone, we spoke last night about the concept of Rochkhodish and the concept of suffering, how suffering is not negative, but rather our mindset, as it should be, that the challenge presents us a with opportunity for growth, and b, Shem knows the true purpose of that challenge of that suffering, and the real good that lies at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. So one story that I will share with you is one of the greatest rabbis of, I would say, the last probably 100 years in America was Rebiakov Kaminetski, he helped build Torah after World War II in the United States, so he came over from Europe, right before he came over from Europe, he had no food to eat, cannot support his family, he was a very trying climb in Europe, and he applied for the job of rabbi at a certain town, back then every town had a rabbi, and at the end of the day, the town for whatever reason shows a different rabbi who everyone knew was less qualified than him, and besides for hurting Kamin, on a personal level, but he had literally no way to feed his families, he had no choice, he picked up his family, and he moved

1:03across the oceans of the United States, ultimately he became appointed as the Russian Chief of Torah of the Doss, which at the time was the first major in the United States, which helped replant Torah, and many years later he gathered together his family and he told them, you know what happened with that rabbi? That entire town when the Germans came into Europe, that part of Europe, the entire town was wiped out. If I would have gotten that job, I and none of you would have be here today, so at the time we thought that was the end of the world, how are we going to eat, how am I going to support my family, what am I going to do for profession, and we had to move to America, we didn't know what we were going to do, but now we realized the true purpose of that challenge, of what I shouldn't have in mind for us, we saved our lives, and only to save our lives, he put us into a position today where his own children today, though the other he she was, has continued the framework of he she was in the United States.
