[Music] so instead of shabbos once again and once again like many times before i want to share a thought on the vacation the first two parishes we learned about our story begins this week our story begins with avraham avino avoi say no agudeo and we start to learn and then isiones perique he was tested ten times and he overcame he passed the test and those as soreness uh cover every aspect of the human experience every challenge every difficulty is rose to the challenge and passed the test he was never mahara he never doubted he never cast doubt anakul's judgment i remember many years ago in a private conversation with my great rebbe the diver yats of the kleisenbacher rabbi wasn't in public but i once heard him say i went through the holocaust and that abby lost his wife and 11 children and he was left alone in the world his oldest son who was like the apple of his eye he was a big illusi ultimately he would have been one of the gadolia soil he survived those words he survived the holocaust and he died from tifos in the dp camps in federenville that was the straw that did not break no i won't use i won't use the proverb the camel's back that was the straw that did not break the rebbe's back so i once heard him say not for one moment and a shudder went through my body when i heard that and it happens to me right now when i just remember and recall
