Emet Inspire - Rabbi Eliyahu Maksumov - The Second Glove

I heard this amazing story from rabenberg our director em Outreach he once said over a story about the the was once on a train and the train was picking up momentum and as he was standing by the window of the train don't ask me how this happened but he was taking off his gloves and somehow one of his gloves slipped off of his hand and it fell out of the window of the train and it landed on the ground and now he's standing there and he has his other glove in his hand now he cannot go to the conductor and ask the conductor to stop the train because he needs to retrieve his glove so what would we have done in that situation let's press pause on the story and ask ourselves what would we have done what would you do if you weren such a position you lost your first glove what are you going to do with the second glove most of us would have said at least I have the second glove I'll keep the second glove or we would say if I don't have the first glove then why do I need the second glove and we would have disposed of the second glove but the was a person who thought outside of the box and he takes off his second glove and he throws it out of that window right on top of the first glove somebody approached him and he said Rabbi understand that you accidentally dropped the first glove but why would you want to lose the second glove on purpose and the says something so brilliant he says look somebody's going to eventually come to find that glove I don't know who this person is but why should it be that both of us should have one glove when one of us could have both gloves let that person have both gloves let him have both this is a person who thinks outside of the box is a person who puts others before himself he's a person who makes others a priority now what impresses me about the story isn't the fact that he took his second glove and threw it on the on the other glove so that somebody could find it and have both gloves what impresses me about the story is his knej reaction how fast he did it he didn't have to think twice it was his second nature it was part of his innate Essence to think about others to put someone else before himself and so if we could learn to think like the if we could train ourselves to see how we could benefit others how we could assist other people then we could help people in the most unimaginable ways the problem is that sometimes we're so concerned about ourselves we forget about the well-being of others but if we could make other people a priority like the did then hasm will see our unity and our camaraderie and as a result hasm is going to bring our Salvation has is to bring mashia speedily noways amen [Music]
