Rabbi Reuven Kigel - You Must Put In SOME Effort!

i see the crowd got smaller a little bit but it's so great to see everyone here today um i think we basically thanked everyone today except one special person rabbi runeberg now this fellowship you know i've been here for four years this fellowship has been by far most successful summer fellowship and uh rabbi runeberg really helped us revamp it and we started at 7 30. we had a lot more carlos and gabby's than usual and we were and uh and and we really had you know two and a half beautiful you know two and a half beautiful hours together half hour eating and two hours of torah and it was really really fantastic so thank you ellie roonberg for always giving us so much um the hour's late and if you want to hear me speak for an hour you can come uh this thursday my wife and i will be here at baker reel and i promise it'll be very very interesting i i want to say here tonight i was very inspired by everyone's words i heard some people are grabbing becker and rabbi tabby corn gold speak for the first time and it was awesome i just wish i was in the group sometimes and i also heard uh the most beautiful speech i've ever heard in russian the rabbi's not here but let's give him a big round of applause right yeah i'm so glad you didn't though um and uh and also i heard for the first time ever by rabbi goodmaker especially to a safari crowd he gave the what i'm going to call the you're not going to health speech which i want to give a big round of applause so uh so and also i just want to thank rabbi kraft on a personal level because he's every time i speak he pays attention and makes me you know it makes me feel so good about myself so the the clubhouse says that the first level of love is that you love a person for what they do for you so at least the first level of about my craft so i want to just say very very briefly you know like gravity goku was saying rosh hashanah is coming up what does hashem really expect of us right what does he expect of us he knows everything we are inside so i'm going to tell you the following thing i talked about to this one of the students earlier in uh in our secular world in our american world which i'm not going to go into because rabbi eliashov already told us what he felt about that ali shaib ravioli travel already told us what he felt about america but in the american world we have a concept everyone knows it when i was in junior high school actually as soon as you got into the the gym room it had a huge sign that says no pain no gain right no pain no gain now anyone who's ever worked out or done anything athletic or done really anything that they achieved anything in their life they know there's some pain involved but this american statement no pain no gain that everyone knows implies that you're going to go through the pain through the effort in order to get the gain the results right now let me tell you how beautiful our tour is listen to our tourist take on this it says aggro with the tsar which really means pain with the pain comes the reward and you know what's missing from that the results the results don't matter so much in this world you know what matters the effort that you put in and so we have about a month before rosh hashanah so you know what exp hashem expects hermos he doesn't expect us necessarily a hundred percent kosher tomorrow he doesn't expect us to be a hundred percent sure shabbos tomorrow but what he expects us to do is put in a little bit of effort right a little bit of effort in order to not retrieve the necessarily results but put in a little bit of effort in order to say hashem we're trying and how do you know if it's an effort it's got to hurt a little bit like remember you said a couple like a week ago or two you got to get out of your comfort zone if it does not hurt i'm sorry to say you're not putting in enough effort it doesn't have to hurt too much but it's got to hurt a little bit but as long as it hurts a little bit you're putting in effort and hashem's going to be very happy with you the stresses shut up and i guarantee you're not going to hell thank you very much thank you
