Sons of Yitzchak | Avi Schnall

0:00It was the last Rosh Hashanah in the Auschwitz concentration camp and the Weitzener Ruf had a shipher and there were many details of how he was able to go from one bunker to the next blowing shipher. There was one last bunker and that bunker had inside of it 400 Yashivbachram. By the time the Ruf got to this last bunker, the day was almost ending and everyone was afraid that the soldiers were about to come back to the camp. There was a cry coming from the bunker. Reba, don't forget about us! We also want to hear Shifr. There was a lot of back and forth. The Reba quickly went into the bunker, went into the center and was about to blow Shifr. Before he began one of his Talmedem from his town of Wats, said Reba. Every year in Wats, the Reba would talk during his sayers before the Kiyoshhaifa. We don't want to miss out on the Reba's Kiyoshhaifa Shmuz.

1:01Give us one last Shmuz. The Reba is overwhelmed, the clock is ticking, the time is short, but he can't refuse the request. He quickly begins to give them a Shmuz never to give up. Afeel of Khenvum Nagostar Savarov, even in the last moment, always have hope. He takes the Shifr, he makes the brochis. He blows the Kiyos and is about to leave the bunker. As he's leaving, he hears a voice from the back. And one of the boys was standing and begins to scream out. And I'm going to read you how the ruv himself documented it in his sayfer Mikadzeyashem. This boy says Khavir and Khavir, Mikhan and Hafen of them of them besten. We can hope for the best of Medaphim's great of them, Egysten. We have to be ready for the worst. Laman Hashem Breedah, Lombinist Fagessen, the last minute. Let's make sure not to forget in the last minute.

2:01See Shreimid Kavana, the scream with Kavana, Shema Yisrael Hashemulay Khenv Hashemehad, and all 400 of those boys began to scream and began to cry. Shema Yisrael Hashemulay Khenv Hashemehad, almost every one of those boys survived. And the ruv writes in his sayfer that when you walk down, you wander to himself, where did they get the strength from? Where did they get the kair from? Then in this moment, to remember Shema Yisrael, and the rebel rites at length, that each and every hidden Klayusrael, we are old children of Yisrael Kavinu, who was ready to sacrifice the ultimate sacrifice by the Akhavis Yisrael, and we have an hour DNA in that level, and that readiness, and that ability to be much enough. We just have to know that it's there. Sometimes the hardest thing that we have, when we're faced as a challenge, is it's too big.

3:01I can't overcome it. I'm not strong enough. I don't have what it takes, but really each and every one of us are as strong and have that same power that every one of those boys in that bunker has. There's no temptation, there's no news sign, there's no hurdle, that's too big for us to overcome, because we are all the Benei Israel.
