Appreciating holiness

HH

The problem is that when it comes to the vanities of this world everyone is praising them and glorifying them over and over them, whether it is some fraudulent rabbi that panders to the weak sentiments of the masses, people can't stop saying how amazing and incredible he is, or whether it is a special flavor of ice cream or promiscuity, everyone is moaning with delight, moaning and moaning, how awesome this empty pleasure is. Yet when it comes to holiness, even things that are mind boggling, that can literally blow your mind away, people take it in stride, and say, well that's something to think about, and continue....

Rabbi Nachman presents the "Tam" the simpleton who's occupation was shoe making - prayer, and the shoes would come almost triangular, but that didn't stop the Tam from marveling at his production, another prayer another word offered to the Most High! He would praise it over and over again saying how sweet it was, how precious. And so it was with every need he was provided for, even though it wasn't exactly what he had asked for, the Tam would praise it emphatically in many various expressions of delight.

It is said that the Arizal achieved his greatness due to the great happiness and rejoicing he had over every tiny novelty of Torah he gleaned.

We gotto start doing this, we have to start drooling over the holy Petek! We have to start expressing extreme delight, moaning with pleasure every time we say Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

beautiful! GEVALD!

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!!!

Lights of hope -- Nanach --- in Auschwitz!!!

So my new friends didn't show up last week, and I was thinking oh well, that's the end of them... HY. Just now I get a call from them, they didn't make it last week because they were invited to participate in the big holocaust memorial with all the celebrities.

So after enduring all the ceremonies in the freezing camp grounds, and spending Shabbos in the hotel hearing all the atrocities that went down, comes time to make havdala, and my friend has had enough of the death and agony, so he sits on the side and pops out his newly acquired Nanach books. He reads the story of the Petek, and begins dancing Nanach (to the best of his knowledge), and he's not sure if he's mad, but he strengthens himself, and before long more and more people join the dancing, and then everyone is dancing (it's like 1000 people), and on the women's side, they are dancing!!!!

Everyone is dancing thanks to Rabbainu.

The guests were so bent from the whole event, and they were about to return to the misery of their professions, chasing the shortcomings of this world, and it was very bleak. They don't know where they are heading, after seeing where the Jews had ended. Suddenly B"H Rabbainu interjects and says you got plenty to be excited about!!! Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!!

So my friends, are reading to the guests from the Nanach books. The guy is reading the story of the Simpleton and the Wise Man, and this is something that blew their minds, because this is exactly what they were trapped in, all their sophistication. The woman is reading to the women about shmiras habris, and the women who all have sons, are crying for all the calamity they may have caused. And they are all full of gratitude to Hashem for everything now.

Also there was a gentile boy who was stuck with them due to the weather, and he was completely blown away by some of the teaching of Rabbainu, and they were amazed just watching the impact and power of Rabbainu.

So many of the celebrities are crying and laughing, and they are thanking my friends telling them that they have made their lives, as they are about to return to the gloomy world of falsehood. -- How did the media miss out on this???

There's much more, but I told myself at least something otherwise I won't write anything, so B"H for every little bit.

B"H thank G-d for Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!
