To tell a story of a Thomas in the Mary Shiva who was newly married and he was offered the position as a majguyeh in a Shiva

Feeling on ready, he turned it on. When it's Rosh Hashiva, I'm not so sweet, think you'll heard about it. He was very upset.

I heard you were offered a prestigious position and you declined.

And the Thomas said, Rebi, I'm young, I'm inexperienced, I'm not ready for such responsibility.

When it's Rosh Hashiva, think you'll told him, take the job.

Mithachhraiyas kumdakachas. What he meant to say is, it's not ability that leads to responsibility.

But rather, it's responsibility that leads to ability.

We always wonder, why some people exude greatness? Do they have a greatness gene in their DNA? And the answer is no.

They are ordinary people who took our responsibility. People ask, how could one person be so brave and courageous?

They must have special talents. But the reality is, they just took responsibility.
