RE'EH: WHO SHOULD YOU SEE? YOURSELF!

Parshah - Re'eh
08/13/201545

So we heard from Reb Hershel Kanig today how the holy Peshischer once took his friend Reb Itzikel Vurker and he said “I have this Tzaddik Nister, let’s go to him for Shabbos, he’s going to tell us the most amazing teachings in the world.” They go to him for Shabbos, and they’re waiting and they’re begging him, and nothing's doing, he’s just a plain peasant. And it comes Shalosh Seudos and they beg and beg, Reb Itzikel says “teach me something”, and he says "look, I’m a peasant, and all I can teach you is what peasants know". Says Hashem, ראה - I need you to see, אנכי – yourself. Stop looking at other people, stop thinking about what other people do. Realize that everything in the Torah - you know what it’s about? It’s about you… Today. Rabbi Shimon Semp, Rosh Yeshiva Talpios inspires through bringing Jewish spiritual concepts, with Chassidic Torah teachings down to earth.
