What You Take With You - R. Yoel Gold - TorahAnytime.com

walked into the mitzvah store here uh two days ago. I wanted to buy aod certain agod they didn't have in stock and so I was looking around the store and I opened a different aoda that they had on display nmael I wrote a beautiful aoda and the page I opened it up to had a story that compelled me to buy a on the spot an amazing msa amazing msa he says there was a woman in London in gold's green and she was a holocaust survivor she survived awitz and when she was in her 80s already and she knew that you know she has a limited amount of time to live. She sent the sheriffski and I think her name is Mrs. Letter even writes her name in the book I have to call her family to remember the story but this is a story she tells he tells over she asked that in Awitz she held on to one puk the entire time in her mind she kept repeating it over and over again and that gave her strength to survive the war. It was after all we've been through we didn't forget your name. No please don't forget me and she kept repeating it over and over and over again. She said that this is the pro that I held on to gave me gave me strength. I want to know if when my time comes I can write it on a piece of paper and I want to be buried with that piece of paper in my hand to come to um in Shmayim and show him this is what I held on to. I held on to you all those years. So who is Kyfki's you know right-handed man at the time. So he he for the hears the shila and he tears up tears up. became very emotional and uh he said to tell her that Hashem doesn't need reminders. You don't need to come with a piece of paper. Hashem knows and uh [clears throat] also it might be a it's not really a but better not. Few months later, uh, the woman said, you know, she she heard's answer. She said, you know what, he's right. God, don't don't don't don't don't put the paper in my hand. Couple years later, she passed away. And before the kura, they quickly sent the shila again toki. manki. Khani thinks for a moment and he says bury her with a piece of paper. So man said you know they had a fash maybe you know they wanted to double check so he said you know a while a while while earlier you said not to says I thought about it it's true that Hashem doesn't need a reminder but I want Mrs. letter. I want this woman to have it for herself as she comes up to Shmayim. She should be fortified with that piece of paper. That will give her the strength to face, you know, whatever she has to face. So, it's for her. And Taka, they wrote in a piece of paper. They put it in her hand. Didn't want to bury her first with a piece of paper because they said, "What do you mean? Everybody's just going to decide to be buried with whatever they want. I mean, it's not you can't." >> They told her said, "Pas God pas you could put it you could put it in And that's how they taki her. So the idea that a person goes into the kev with whatever they whatever they uh they earn in this world. You see the opposite is true too with himself that until today what do they have to say? Um they have to say
