Rav Elyashiv The Value of Time

you the Habad yeshiva love a Shalom study Torah in a way that's beyond our imagination things that it's hard for us to comprehend only thing he wanted in life is Torah he would sleep three hours three and a half hours a day wake up at 2:30 in the morning and start his first setting of learning Torah until next minion after that go back to learning all day all night learning Torah now of course because it was one of the Gedaliah dull the zebu the community needed him need him to make Shakalaka get involved in certain things sometimes they would invite him to two events which most of the time he would not attend because it would disturb his learning one guy came to him and begged him to come to the Bleak me loved his kid and he told no I can't have obligations our obligations its obligations to learn Baha kind of who this is puss Keane that's obligations yeah but you can donate no no no how obligations the guy was a close student he begged him to Congress said okay fine I'll come why why is he agreed to come he says listen rabbi I understand your time is valuable that's why we set it up that as soon as you come in within 20 minutes you're out of there meaning there's no singing dancing food this DJ oh that's not go no Robert we just want you to come over there give his blessing hold the baby be the Sun doc 20 minutes Rider the whole thing he said Tim okay fine I'll come so a day before the LA Police Chief tells his helper is goodbye don't listen call him tell him I can't come today can't come tomorrow okay what could the rat but he's waiting this thing I can't I have obligations I have things have to catch up on it only study 20 hours instead of 21 you know it's a obligations 9 our rabbi the guy cries again long story short he ends up going they're gonna place everything is like military gets their baby huh wake me love baby okay bye bye now the way home the driver is happy why they're out of there quickly but then the driver writes in the book it's in a book and he says I learned a lesson about how lovely she looks at the world from that day it took me to a different world what happened he's happy as can be why they were in the party [Music] and make people happy great right and get out of there in 20 minutes everything worked as planned she's proud that he said so to the Roberts gonna be happy with me sex rabbi mocha chef see everything worked out great you are out of there in 20 minutes and Hubbell yes you've waited for a moment and look at them it says 22 minutes 22 minutes he calculated every second of his day now you may think why he's exaggerated no no you don't understand he looks at those two minutes as now I just lost two minutes of Tora I'm never gonna be able to get back unless I make it up I have to learn two more minutes of jihad today can't just let two minutes fly by where you want me to be i'ma holla it's gonna be an ignorant what ignorance take it all for 90 years [Music] two minutes have to make up where's the two minutes come from no one knew you already studied twenty hours a day where does the two minutes gonna come and that's another story [Music] guy comes to him and says rabbi we have this guy has some hot things to learn this diet and there's a sock and we need your help so he wants to meet you okay so right buddies tell me cuz I'm so the guy comes he sits out with him for half hour no it's not how I was socializing you know he's you know just talk about baseball basketball he's talking about Torah talk about the one half hour after he finishes the guy stops talking finishes okay he leaves and I mean yes he says everything he says Stewart everything with same as mistakes is what he was saying was mistakes the guy's all these things as all for mistakes okay but you know well the rest of us will sell out way at least we learned from the mistakes right somebody else who says I have to make it up what do you mean it's learning okay there's a mistake gonna make mistakes once in a while he's learning he's telling he's telling you his mistakes and you're correcting them so in essence that's actually learning for the rest of us humans that's learning Torah we thought that were allowed to do something and we found out through the learning that were not allowed to do it or vice versa that's learning whe that wasn't learning that I thought wasn't learning deserve to make it up [Music] so this tell me son is mean when's he make it up you know when's he make it up next day there was a major event it was the holiday was pulling or something or some type of holiday so there's a lot of people in a bit Knesset and the helper was a you know lost touch wearable SUVs he thought that maybe he went to learn somewhere wherever he was he didn't know where he was but then I wrenched after the whole thing though Fiasco was over he went to the house and he says he saw that up beneath furious at him the company tell ya she saw him saw this helper sob tell me to come seems to become furious said in where are you who don't know I was at the place but wanna come here or what enough how come you are with them he supposed to be next to her all the time what were you today good night look for the wrong I thought he left he says how she said she started she rebukes him how could you not pay attention to the table and not know where he is especially a day like today this is what what happened today just today was making up for those missing times that he made up for the last few days there wasn't those the meeting there was the toilet that wasn't Torah I was this and not he was making it up so he says how beneath what does it mean he's making it up says when he makes up Torah that means that he takes away that time from sleeping meaning instead of the normal three hours he's sleeping he only slept for an hour why yes to make up to two minutes - 30 minutes - 15 minutes so he slightly tried to make up all that toilet two hours of Torah today so he's a lot more fragile today he's already a hundred years old how come you weren't careful to know where he isn't take care of him 100 days old what 100 years old where'd you lose 20 [Music] he had to make a Pastora we're to make up a story not from family time not from other Torah not to know we're from sleep that's a person that understands that without Torah there is no life [Music]
