What are we left to think when the unthinkable happens, when the impossible occurs, what are we to do?
00:00:11.509 --> 00:00:16.172
Moeshe Rabbeinu returns to the Almighty at the end of parashas pa'aloschan.
00:00:16.172 --> 00:00:21.210
He says Ich kennest, i can no longer lead the Jewish people alone.
00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:24.300
I need help Again.
00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:30.033
The Jewish people have strayed from the path of righteousness and they have sinned.
00:00:30.033 --> 00:00:32.665
Emoshe now is being mevakish.
00:00:32.665 --> 00:00:33.889
Some assistance.
00:00:33.889 --> 00:00:38.643
Hashem's response The remban brings a measure here.
00:00:38.643 --> 00:00:40.409
Interesting.
00:00:40.409 --> 00:00:42.686
Wasn't exactly what we might expect?
00:00:42.686 --> 00:00:59.326
Hashem says Moshe Ani nosati lechah ruach vedas lefarnes esponai, i gave you all of the knowledge, all of the different capacities and the echolest, the abilities to lead my nation.
00:00:59.326 --> 00:01:03.188
Ha'isi mevakish velo, ha'isi mevakish acher.
00:01:03.188 --> 00:01:05.165
And you do not need to ask for anyone else.
00:01:05.165 --> 00:01:12.549
But because Moeshe Rabbeinu did, hashem granted his request and he gave him 70 elders And the great role of the presidential estate.
00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:31.587
Synagogue here in Lakewood, new Jersey, pointed out something shocking and yet frightening That even the great Moeshe Rabbeinu at some level fell prey to this trap of not knowing just how much koychais ha'enefesh a person has, how great one's potential is, when the greatest man to ever live.
00:01:31.587 --> 00:01:38.412
As you're reading the psukim, you can't help but feel his exhaustion coming through the words, and he asked for some assistance.
00:01:38.412 --> 00:01:39.575
He had nothing left in the tank.
00:01:39.575 --> 00:01:43.471
The Almighty said I still gave you everything that you need.
00:01:43.471 --> 00:01:45.546
You have more to continue.
00:01:45.546 --> 00:01:58.868
Unbelievable, the depth of a person's potential and what his untapped mayanos ha'ekheis are, the wells of potential a person may never touch.
00:01:58.868 --> 00:02:13.593
What's more, this untapped potential, this koychais it's not say potential, but this untapped kohos ha'enefesh, to lead by his lonesome from Moeshe Rabbeinu, it powered 70 prophets in their full-time prophecy.
00:02:13.593 --> 00:02:15.219
Unbelievable.
00:02:16.943 --> 00:02:18.187
I should challenge, i do.
00:02:18.187 --> 00:02:19.750
I challenge you, i challenge myself.
00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:26.300
When you're going through our life and you feel like you have no more, i got nothing left.
00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:29.747
You can take on more, you can do more, you can be more.
00:02:29.747 --> 00:02:37.372
The soul has layers upon layers of potential and some of which we just never even discover.
00:02:37.372 --> 00:02:47.235
When you're walking through midtown Manhattan, you're head down, not looking at any of the immoral billboards, but you see, this is a hustling, embustling island here.
00:02:47.235 --> 00:03:00.724
That's impossible to build any more infrastructure here, but yet right beneath your feet there's a world of a subway system with tens of thousands of individuals, totally untapped potential that you don't even realize exists.
00:03:00.724 --> 00:03:07.911
How much koychais ha'enefesh do we have that we don't even know or think about?
00:03:07.911 --> 00:03:16.204
I challenge us to spend, to dedicate more time when you think you have no more time to the family, another time with the kids.
00:03:16.204 --> 00:03:21.004
There is more time, more time with the Tyra when you feel like you have no more.
00:03:21.004 --> 00:03:25.701
I reckon that we still got a whole lot more.
