Title Never Make Cheshboinos!
Summary Rabbi Miller Shlit"a in his warm, yet dynamic and charismatic manner, treated us to 40 minutes of chizuk this morning and discussed how we should treat another Yid. A caring smile or a pleasant "Good Morning" is often all it takes to 'revive' those who are in a worse off situation than ourselves. His theme was "Let's be a Yid without making Cheshbonos"! This stems from what the Torah writes regarding Shevet Levi, but is applicable to each and every one of us. He quoted from Reb Shlomo Wolbe zt"l who compares the summer and winter seasons (when leaves and fruit are or aren't on the tree) to Hashem showing us his Shechina, which in turn depends on how we treat other people. A beautiful story followed, of Reb Nosson Tzvi Finkel zt"l and some millionaires. The message he left them left an indelible impression upon them - competition and lawsuits do not get a person anywhere in life - but love and respect for another Yid, that is the ultimate investment! Several heart warming other stories then followed, some with the theme of always being "Don Lekaf Zechus". We must not forget to mention the famous story of Rabbi Miller's great grandfather, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Herman zt"l of "All for the Boss" and his unwavering committment to keep Shabbos to the fullest. In this zechus, when he arrived in Eretz Yisroel on Friday afternoon with an immense amount of luggage, it was all waiting for him on Motzei Shabbos, as the guards were so impressed with his dedication to the Shabbos that they watched over it for him for the entire Shabbos - what a huge Kiddush Hashem!!
