okay friends I'd like to tell you about
a guy in ER Israel in the Holy Land who
I find to be a real
inspiration his name is Shai grer Shai
grer is a yid who runs a charity
organization he's been running it since
2017 and he's been helping families of
Terror victims and when the horrible
atrocities starting October 7th unfolded
this guy jumped right into action he
immediately
built this huge beautiful tent for
soldiers to welcome them to give them
food and since then this guy is just the
busiest guy in the world he's his phone
is off the hook because he's constantly
helping people constantly giving
barbecues and feeding soldiers helping
them with laundry he's helping families
who have single parents you know they
lost people due to the atrocities and
can't go shopping you know they have
little kids to watch he's just leaned
right in and he is on fire you can look
him up on social media um the the famous
image going around video going around
was him in Gaza not on an army base in
Gaza with a flatbed truck with laundry
machines washing machines and dryers
bringing laundry to these soldiers who
are fighting for us in Gaza so that they
could have fresh clean clothing so they
could feel like
humans to me this is incredibly
inspirational I was just listening to
him on a podcast inspiration for the
nation and I even donated no he has no
idea who I am he did not ask me to to do
this to plug him at all I'm sharing this
with you because he is an incredible
inspiration and a real example of how to
react to trauma this is a man who just
lost his father seven weeks ago and had
a very difficult time with
it then the atrocities take place and
the normal human reaction when going
through tough times is to revert into
our own shells to hide it's scary I'm
lonely I'm sad I'm broken
that's normal
reaction and him he leans right in and
says what can I do he sees opportunity
this is the Jewish response to trauma
what opportunity is here to make my life
meaningful I was thinking of this
because in this week's
paraa Abraham AO
Abraham it says
abam Abraham was old advanced in age and
it's kind of a seems like a spous
statement the Torah already told us he
was old in the previous portion why I
say that again another way to read it is
like this Abraham was old he was Zak he
was
old but he would still come into his
days that's how you translate it
literally not that he advanced in days
he would come into his days despite
being old despite having a very mature
and experienced a full life Abraham had
been through a lot a lot of trauma
he the entire world was against him in
his ideology his monotheistic beliefs
and he was tortured and tormented and
even thrown into fire the fire for this
he had fought Wars he had fought battles
he had been childless for many many
years he had to deal with a wayward
son he his wife was abducted twice he's
gone through a lot and it's very normal
for After experiencing such a life to
kind of just let's take it easy let's
calm down it's easy to be desensitized
it's normal to be desensitized it's
normal to forget that life is so
meaningful when life is really
adventurous yet despite at Abraham's old
age and despite you know it's over I had
a kid let's move on no he leaned in
Abraham Zaki he was
old he would lean into the day Abraham
believed that the day doesn't just
happen to me I have to be in charge of
what day this is going to be I think
think of somebody like Rabbi Shai grer
and it's
not what what happened here it's what
are we going to do about it how are we
going to make people's lives better how
are we going to improve people's lives
how are we going to make this world a
better
place we all have the opportunity
despite the atrocities taking place to
contribute to make this world a better
place you can contribute to his
organization and we can spiritually
contribute we can learn more Torah we
can do more Mitzvah we can do whatever
it takes to strength the Jewish presence
because this is a war that is trying to
wipe out Judaism and it's our job to
strengthen it and we each can we don't
have to be passive we can each lean in
come into the day like Abraham and like
rabash Shai
grer that's my story and I'm sticking to
it friends
