A Lamb Being Interviewed On a Podcast?

This Torah class is brought to you by Torahanytime.com

The question is asked, what prompted Hashem to appoint Moshe Rabaynou as the leader of Clisrael?

How did he know that Moshe was worthy to be the Redeemer who would take the Jewish people out of the gullas?

So the revenge answers with his famous story.

Moshe Rabaynou is one shepherding sheep and a small lamb ran away.

Moshe chased after it for three days.

He lifted the lamb out to his shoulders, felt its pain and carried it back to the flock.

At that moment Hashem said, you had mercy on a single lamb, you are worthy to be the shepherd of my people.

You are fit to lead and redeem Clisrael.

And this message is very difficult to understand.

There are countless instances where we see Moshe Rabaynou performing far greater, far more dramatic acts.

The Yarbe Sivloysum, he saw Jewish slaves on the crushing loads and he stepped in to help them.

He confronted Egyptian taskmasters. He stood up to parry.

He defended the oppressed and risked his life for Clisrael.

And none of those acts made him the Redeemer.

Only when he lifted up a lamb, why is that?

So the Gmahar Masechtus of Yadzara relates a fascinating story.

The Holy Tana Rabaynouysum by Kismah was ill.

And Rabaynouysum by Kismah came to visit him.

Rabaynouysum by Kismah said to Rabaynouysum by Kismah.

You are putting your life in danger.

The Roman Empire has decreed that anyone who teaches Torah publicly will be wrapped up in a safe Torah and burned the life.

And I hear that you gather Jews and teach Torah openly. Aren't you afraid?

And why later? Rabaynouysum by Kismah asked, is Rabaynouysum by Kismah?

Rabaynouysum brought up a portion of it with a very interesting question.

Throughout your life, you did you ever perform an extraordinary act and came to think of it myself,

Yes, once before that there were 20 Rubles sitting like referred zip knot gearbox in general.

Rabaynouysum by Kismah replied that Rabaynouysum by Kismah

on returning to the Ladr".

And he made about it.

Rehbiyosib and Kismah heard this, he was so overtaken, and he said,

if so, may my portion in Eulah Mabah be right next to yours."

And this is astonishing. Rehbachinine Bantraddin was willing to be burned alive at Eulah.

He publicly defied the Roman Empire. He taught Eulah knowing he could cost him his life.

And yet, that alone was not proof of his share in Eulah Mabah.

Only when he mentioned this act of Sadaka, during the Eulah, he said,

I want my portion of Eulah Mabah and be next to yours.

Why is that? So, let me share with you an amazing story with the Havatschheim.

The Havatschheim wrote a small safer called Safer Hamitsvisa Katser.

When he was ready to be printed, he asked the student of his traveling to America

to find the donor to publish the safer. But the Havatschheim gave him three strict conditions.

Number one, the donor was donated the money by left shalom with a full heart.

Number two, one person was covered in entire cost.

And number three, no name whatsoever may appear in the safer.

Not his name, and not the name of the donor.

The student traveled to America and eventually ended up in Florida.

A man was gracious enough and invited this student for Shabbos into his home.

After Shabbos, the man has the student, so what brings you to Florida?

So, he told his host, I have a man who is screwed from the Havatschheim.

And I'm looking for a donor willing to cover the expenses of publishing the safer.

The host tells him, I will pay for the printing, but on three conditions.

And they were worth a word, the same three conditions that the Havatschheim had given his student.

And the safer was printed anonymously.

Years later, the student met up with the donor's son-in-law, and he told him the entire story.

The son-in-law told the student, and never heard the story before for my swer.

So the next day, the son-in-law asked his father-in-law, the donor, about the story.

And when the donor heard it, he broke down crying.

He said, I do many mitzvahs.

I donate to many worthy causes, but I always felt that something was basic.

I wanted one mitzvah that only Hashem knows about.

One quiet mitzvah, only Hashem and I know about it.

And I was hoping that this will be the mitzvah.

And this is our takeaway from the story.

Public heroism is inspiring.

But quiet deeds, don't when no one is watching, carry an incomparable weight on Shaman.

When Moisha helped Jews with bricks, everyone saw.

But when he chased a lamb for three days in the desert, no one saw that.

The lamb would never publish a thank you note in the haamudiyah.

He would never go on to our podcast and talk about the story.

That act revealed who Moisha really was when there was no audience.

That is why it defined his greatness.

And that is why Rebuy Smith said, I want my portion with yours.

Because the truest measure of a person is not who he is on the public stage.

But who he is in the shadows.

In our old lives, these quiet moments appear constantly.

Anonymously pangol for struggling families, grocery bills when nobody is looking.

Putting a safer back can place and shul when no one is around.

Holding back a sharp word, no one would have blamed you for saying,

they feel small, they go unnoticed.

But in Shamanium, they shake worlds.

Because the greatest acts are often the ones no one ever notices.

And the greatest leaders are formed, not in moments of glory.

But in moments of silent compassion, known only to Asha.

And now we know.

Have a wonderful day.
