[Music] Recently after one of my Viman episodes ran I received an email message from my assistant. It said that there was a man from overseas who had called me and wanted me to call him back and he said it was extremely important. I reached a man in on the phone and he was very emotional and he said to me navali I want to thank you and the people of Aimay for saving my daughter's life. Obviously, I was quite intrigued. He says, "Yesterday, after a very, very difficult day in the office, I found myself in a moment of weakness, clicking somewhere on my computer where I knew I shouldn't go." As I was doing so, I pictured myself tied to the tree like the bull with a shoelace, and I pulled the plug out of my computer, and I fled my office, knowing that if I stayed there another moment, I would succumb. I said to Matt, "That's absolutely amazing. you accomplish va and vayana just like and he says yes but there's much more to the story he says I live 12 minutes away from my office as I drove down my street to my total horror I saw five hats cars in front of my house with all the sirens blaring I rushed into my house breathlessly to find my daughter laying on the foyer floor with three hats guys kneeling over her was hysterically crying and all my kids were crying in the corner and saying to Helm. My daughter had some kind of a seizure, fell backwards and banged her head and stopped breathing. Hatsah was called and Bar Hashem they revived her. I realized that the exact second that I pulled the plug out of the computer was when Hatsah had gotten her pulse back and revived my daughter. And that's why he said, "I'm calling to thank you and the people of Bayan." I said to this man that this episode may very well define the rest of your life. It's extremely important that you translate it correctly. So I asked him the following question. What would have happened had you succumbed at your computer only to come home and find that the worst had happened to your daughter? The man said to me, I would have blamed myself for the rest of my life. I said that's naturally what I thought you would say. Every father would think that. However, you do realize you would be absolutely wrong. Pik tells us that children did not die for the sins of their fathers. Here's the way I would tell you to look at it. Even though I don't have at the moment that that test was given to you in your office, there was a debate going on in Shimayim. Your daughter's life had come to its end. The Malika said her time is up. And the Malik Rafal stood up and said, "No, she's so young. She still hasn't gotten married. She still needs to have children. How can you do that? How can you do that? And the Sutton said, "No way. No way. Her time is up. Her time is up." So the Malo said, "Let me get her a merit. Let me find a way to save her life. How about if we give her father a tremendous test, a test that if he passes, we'll give his daughter a new lease on life?" And at that moment, that urge overcame you. When you pulled the plug out of that computer and you ran out of the office, you gave your daughter a new lease on life. You gave your daughter her life. And you have to remember that as you see nakas from this child, as she walks down the aisle, as she dances at her wedding, as she has children and grandchildren, you should remember that your moment of is why all this is happening. We never know what a single moment can achieve.
