Irving Bunim - R. Joey Haber - TorahAnytime.com

This same man, Irving Bunim, was trying to save lives in America. And there were even Jewish organizations that he was up against. Because there were some Jewish organizations that were very careful and particular in making sure that if they're saving someone's life, that the government is happy and the visa and the this and the that. Irving Bunim was like, "This is a man's life we're talking about. If I could save someone's life, I don't care the government, the visa. I'm saving the life." Well, one day, there was a rabbi from Europe that they had it set up to save the man's life. There's a rabbi from Europe that they had it set up to save the man's life. But then, a Jewish organization got involved and stopped it. Irving Bunim that day called a bunch of newspaper journalists. They said, "What is it?" He says, "I want to tell you a piece of news. It just hasn't happened yet." "What's the news?" "There's going to be a brick thrown into that man's office. I'm going to be the one who throws it in the office. And I'm going to be taken to jail. I'm telling you the news story before it happens, so you have the early the early scoop." They said, "W- W- What do you mean? W- Why are you You're going to throw a brick into someone's office?" He says, "Yeah, I'm going to throw a brick into the office because I want it to become a story that that man is stopping us saving the lives of a rabbi in Europe." The man got the message. He never had to throw the brick, and the man's life was saved. You can't always worry what every time about someone's comment, about someone's thoughts, about what someone's going to say. The first thing and the most important thing to do is figure out what is Hashem want from you.
