The shiur in English
The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 433 words · 2:18. Press a time to hear it said.
0:02 There is no such thing as a person leaving the world. There is no such thing, there is no such thing, Heaven forbid. A person always goes from strength to strength. Every soul, every Jew in the world. I once gave a parable for this. If we take now two people who board a train from Beersheva who need to get to Haifa. They are sitting on the train. One boards, travels from Beersheva, travels as far as Ashdod, gets off.
0:28 Gets off. That one is about to get off. Someone sitting next to him shouts at him: “Why are you getting off at this station? You paid, you have to travel to the end. Make use of your ticket.” He says to him: “Look, I need to get off here. I need to get off in Ashdod. I have business in Ashdod.” That is the parable and its meaning here. We see a person get off at such a station - at such an age. There is Someone above us; we are in His hands.
0:52 Our lives - “for our lives, which are committed into Your hand.” All the lives of all of us, of the entire world, and of all of creation, are in His hand. And He judges and decides everything. We cannot do anything. Once one of the tzaddikim, the Rebbe of Sanz-Klausenberg, zy"a, Rabbi Yekusiel, lost many children. Eleven children and his wife; he was left alone.
1:16 Eleven children and his wife; he was left alone. Once they saw him jumping, jumping and dancing like this. He said: They took everything from me, the Nazis, but my joy, my faith in Him, blessed be He, Him Himself they did not take from me. They did not take my faith in Him - they took nothing from me. Look at who is left next to you. Be happy with who is left next to you, smile at who is left next to you, because he also stays with you, he stays with you.
1:43 You cleave to Hashem, you pray to Hashem; he is with Hashem. How much Hashem, blessed be He, looks at the heart of a person. If it is broken, He sees him and is with him, and comes next to him, and it pains Him. He comes to be with him, comes to be together with him. He loves him, He does not leave him. May Hashem save us, redeem us, a complete redemption, with Hashem's help, speedily, swiftly, to the revival of the dead, amen. And to see already, with Hashem's help, the complete redemption.
