Our guest shares their journey through the Shaduchim process, revealing how hearing words like "Baruch HaShem" became a profound learning opportunity.

00:00:01.381 --> 00:00:02.263
I did my time.

00:00:02.263 --> 00:00:05.432
I spent about a little over a year in Shaduchim.

00:00:05.432 --> 00:00:15.965
I was looking for my life partner, my soulmate, dated many people, saw a lot of different things, learned a lot about myself.

00:00:15.965 --> 00:00:27.731
But I had a big problem in Shaduchim and I couldn't exactly voice it to the Shadchan Really to anyone because this problem was not in good taste.

00:00:27.731 --> 00:00:36.807
See, I really despised when I would ask a simple question to somebody and they respond with yeah, yeah, yeah, emirtz HaShem or Baruch HaShem.

00:00:36.807 --> 00:00:37.950
How are you, baruch HaShem?

00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.441
I didn't ask you to bless HaShem.

00:00:39.441 --> 00:00:44.149
I asked you to respond to a question, or kindly ask you something, and hope you would respond normally.

00:00:44.149 --> 00:00:47.335
So why are you saying Yim Yirtz HaShem or Baruch HaShem to my question?

00:00:47.335 --> 00:00:57.865
It just seems so I don't know naive, childish, as if unworldly Baruch HaShem, yim Yirtz HaShem.

00:00:57.865 --> 00:01:01.210
It just seemed a bit annoying and became a pet peeve of mine.

00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:09.789
But now you see why I couldn't mention that to Esharchim, because it wouldn't sound very good if I said I didn't want the name of heaven to be in this person's mouth.

00:01:09.789 --> 00:01:14.188
I'd like to audibly declare my repentance.

00:01:14.188 --> 00:01:19.284
I had a hunch that was incorrect, because Rashi in our parasha says what is it that?

00:01:19.325 --> 00:01:28.746
The Gentile professor, the Gentile president, the Gentile potiphar, the man who was in charge of Egypt.

00:01:28.746 --> 00:01:35.403
What was it that he saw in Joseph as to why it is that he had God with him?

00:01:35.403 --> 00:01:38.171
He saw that Hashem was Ito.

00:01:38.171 --> 00:01:48.191
He had God frequently in his vocabulary.

00:01:48.191 --> 00:01:55.213
He constantly, incessantly, would drop the name God in his conversations.

00:01:55.213 --> 00:01:59.090
The Lord was with him in his conversations.

00:01:59.090 --> 00:02:00.204
That's how Rashi interprets it.

00:02:00.204 --> 00:02:03.644
You see, potiphar would say Joseph, clean the floors.

00:02:03.644 --> 00:02:04.450
And he would say Iosef, clean the floors.

00:02:04.450 --> 00:02:07.887
And he would say I'm getting to it.

00:02:07.887 --> 00:02:12.451
Or Baruch Hashem, master, I've made you a delicious supper for your entire party this evening.

00:02:12.451 --> 00:02:16.750
And Potiphar saw wow, that's a godly man.

00:02:16.750 --> 00:02:21.018
The heavenly divine presence is now resting itself on him.

00:02:21.018 --> 00:02:39.348
Because it should be as clear as day from these sources that to incorporate God in your life, the easiest way to begin this process is to now drop God's name in your conversations.

00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:40.591
How was your day?

00:02:40.591 --> 00:02:42.782
It was well, baruch Hashem.

00:02:42.782 --> 00:02:43.325
Thank God.

00:02:43.325 --> 00:02:47.330
G-d gave me health and happiness today.

00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:57.933
Der Eibishter Made me a set of two eyeballs that work Anything.

00:02:57.933 --> 00:03:01.228
You know what happens when you bring God into your life.

00:03:01.228 --> 00:03:05.027
You get success, Because that's the very next words in the Pesach.

00:03:05.027 --> 00:03:07.145
And you saw that Hashem was with him.

00:03:07.145 --> 00:03:10.370
V'chol asher hu'osa Hashem matzliach biyado.

00:03:10.370 --> 00:03:15.126
When you bring God into your life, you become like Yosef and you become super successful.

00:03:15.126 --> 00:03:24.127
So if you get a flat tire, god, I see and I accept the yisr, and then Baruch Hashem, it got fixed.

00:03:24.127 --> 00:03:42.112
I'm going to see you later Go about your day with the name of God Frequently, continuously, constantly showing itself as one of the very, very prevalent words inside of your mouth.
