The dynamic [music] mashpia, Rabbi Simcha Ginsberg, shared this incredible story. He said, "When I was growing up, we had many Shabbos guests. Anyone who needed [music] a place for Shabbos was welcomed into my parents' home. Many of them were baalei teshuvah, and my father would ask them, >> [music] >> 'What motivated you to become a baal teshuvah?' One time, my father asked [music] the guest, 'Tell me, what's your story?' And he shared this amazing story. "I was once on the airplane," he said, >> [music] >> "and there was a Lubavitcher bachur >> "and there was a Lubavitcher bachur walking up and down the aisle, asking everyone, 'Excuse [music] me, would you like to put on tefillin?' And he asked me as well, and I said no. I had no interest at the time. He continued down the aisle, asking [music] every person, and I saw that not a single person agreed to put on tefillin. But the boy did not give up. A few hours later, he went through the entire plane again, asking [music] everyone again, 'Excuse me, would you like to put on tefillin?' And he asked me again, and again [music] I said no.
