Now I will tell you a story about Rachel our Matriarch. The Yahrtzeit is in two days, try to come, not just to light a candle—try to really come. Someone said to me: "What if there are rides from all sorts of places?" It’s worth it for you. Wherever you are coming from. A boy grew up here in holy yeshivas, in a family that observes Torah and mitzvot. He reached his teenage years. The evil inclination doesn't spare any of us, and it didn't spare him either; it started to confuse and drive him crazy. No matter how much he tried to hold himself together and study the Torah, he couldn't. He started acting out, doing bad things, and the parents began receiving complaints from the yeshiva—the middle school yeshiva—and they tried talking to him with educators, but it didn't work. He somehow moved up to a big yeshiva, and there too, day after day, there were complaints from the administration. He would wait for the evening, run away, meet up with riffraff, and go wherever he ended up. And the parents are crying. One day, a supervisor comes to the house, knocks on the door, and says to them: "Look, is the boy here?" They told him: "No, isn't he with you?" He said: "He didn't come to the afternoon session, he ran off like he usually does, we don't know where he is, we thought he was here, he's not here." He told them: "Look, I can't keep him here anymore." How can you say that? This is a matter of life and death! He told them: "Come see,"
