the Abner was an Israeli politician
adviser to several Prime Ministers
including Menachem begin and others
he was very close with the children they
had a very good relationship a very
close relationship
and he had a private audience with the
rabbit
he's at the Reba's meeting room
and again to book a meeting with the
rabbit took months
there was no walking welcomes I mean
there was times where the rebel would
hand out the dollars and anybody could
get in line and talk but if you wanted a
private meeting
you know that takes that's a big deal
and they're usually they're between the
hours of 10 P.M to like 4 a.m and their
average 10 minutes five minutes you know
Abner was in there from 10 p.m 2 A.M
and they're talking there's a lot of
things that transpired in that room
among which the Rebus said to Yehuda
even though you have somewhat of an
inside perspective
it's probably clear the amount of time
you spending in that room right not
everybody had that privilege you have
some sort of inside perspective
yeah
why you know and I'm paraphrasing but
why are you being an observer
you got to come in a little bit
become part of it
become part of the inspiration
become part of the movement become
become this
he had a hard time
he he had a hard time being more than
just an admirer
and so to speak buying in
and one of his philosophical challenges
was the role of a rabbit
what is the role
and the reper told him
you have a wax with a wick in it
right you open up the cupboard you see a
wax with a wick what is it
he says a candle
no
it's just a lump of Wax
you know why it's just a lump of wax and
it's not a candle because it's not
ignited
it's not ignited it's not fulfilling its
purpose it we can't truly say it's a
candle we can't genuinely say it's okay
let me call it a candle that's not what
it is it's just a lump
so he says you have a body
right you have the lump of wax you have
the wick but where's the fire
we can't genuinely call ourselves a
human being if we're not on fire if
we're not connecting to our soul
connecting to our purpose to our meaning
in life the reason for which we were
created
that's the role of a rabbit
become lumps
for going from lumps to people from
lumps to candles
the meeting continued and the river
walked into the door at about two in the
morning and he says to the rebel
facetiously has the rep and lit my
candle yet
whoever looks at him and says nope and
I'm not going to I don't like candles
I'll give you the match and I'll give
you the tools to light your own candle
and that was the rabbit style right many
tadiq they were there to inspire people
the river wasn't really there to inspire
who's there to educate to empower
to create Independence
