When Nobody's Watching | Rabbi Moshe Scheinerman

The pro tells us is my name shall be sanctified in the nation of Israel of Israel. The Rama brings down if a person is poor does not involve himself in a or performs a mitzvah not for the reason of or because he has a fear of heavenly retribution. No, he does it because he understands that this is the right thing to do in his avod. That individual is compared to Yosephadic says the Ramba Ysephic was deservant of having an oath to ohe added to his name Yosef because of his hanog of the way he acted with Potifa. Nobody knew, no one would have ever known. Our rabbis tell us that an individual who's makadeshm on him is bestowed the blessing of performing an act of keshm by virtue of the fact that he does not involve himself in an au or performs a mitzvah for purely reasons of kayu that individual is a makadesh the nitra vice lost five children five sons in the shawah kbaru gave him that he came to these shores he was miraculously saved and he was to have five children, five boys.

A fellow was on a plane and the engine was malfunctioning. They decided to take all the passengers off of the plane and put them to a hotel until the next morning they would take off. This fellow went to the hotel and he tried to learn his glad kamura and he didn't go. He was so tired. He was so fatigued but he felt bad. He says, "My father and my zetis, they came home after a hard day's work in the sweat shops and they did learn. But then all of a sudden, I saw a screen on the wall and a button underneath that screen. And I knew that if I touched that button, all the garbage and all the filth and everything that would be would be diametrically opposed to everything that I'm trying to accomplish in this world would all of a sudden appear on the screen. I decided right then and there that even though there was a little lingering rutone will in me, which that said just hear the news. There is a war taking place. And yet I did not touch the button. That individual is a makadesh hashem. No one saw him. No one knew what his desion was. And yet because he wanted to do the hashem with all of his might, that button created an atmosphere in that room of hoy. Hashem says to him, you and I are together and we will be together and I will bless you because you are serving me in such a beautiful way.
