EMET Talk - Rabbi Nissim Musheyev

imagine it's all dark around you your spouse is not acting the way you want at work it's not going well your kids so you can give up and you want to give up so I try to myself and I try to do this myself where what can I do I can try to be positive I can try to be a light I can try to do something or say something or do something positive and it's not easy a lot of times it's not easy but I push myself to do it because I can't control my spouse I can't control my children I can't control my environment I can try to control what I can do when I try to do that and I try to make myself positive and say positive things and remember positive things then I generate light around those who want to pick it up can pick it up those who don't don't pick it up but I myself try sometimes it's harder sometimes it's easier but I feel that with our lives getting so busy and there's so many things pulling at us it's such an important character to have power to have is to try to be positive and try to be a light kanaka is coming up there's a lot of there's a lot of Darkness at that time and there were a few Jews who wanted to do something it was a long shot they weren't sure if it's going to happen they weren't sure it's going to win but they did it they were a light and when we light our Kaneka candles we're trying to say we are that light we're personate that light there can be a lot of Darkness there can be a lot of things obstacles pushing us but if we light the candle a little light pushes away a lot of a lot of Darkness a little little light a little positivity a little smile a little warmth a little that energy it can get so it can it can get so many people excited to see that person's energy so I want to end with a I'm going to end even less I'm going end it in 30 seconds I want to end with a to everyone that coming from the shabbaton I'm trying to do is to be more of a light and to be more positive and to be more of good energy in the world good energy in the world and I saw something and I'll this uh fortune cookie last week Chinese food and is a fortune cookie so what does it say it says putting a smile on our face adds to our face value adds to our face value so K should give us strength to be that energy to be that that smile and to be that light
