Passionate Words - 11

Dovid Hamelech teaches us one of the secrets to achieving greatness -
Oh how I love Your Torah , all day long it is my conversation.
When someone shares a Torah insight with excitement , passion & fascination , we tend to enjoy it more & get excited. We feel renewed , recharged & uplifted. The energy comes through the words to inspire us greatly.
The amount of passion a speaker shares with his words makes all the difference.
If we want to desire life , love days , to see good results , as Tehilim teaches , we need to realize that the key element is the passion we invest.

With Torah guided passion you become a dynamic , charismatic speaker of words , the way words are supposed to used as we state in the Shma.

Sometimes people rationalize by thinking , I'm not really saying anything , everything was said already etc.

The Chofetz Chaim 2:9 cautions against adding even one word ! Or showing in any way that you are backing some negative statement.

Subject: FW: FW: Blood clots and strokes

 

 

                         Please pass on - blood clots and strokes....please read and remember!!

                                                

Blood  Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator,  the Tongue

  
I  will continue to forward this every time it  comes around, some things are too important not to share! 

  
STROKE: Remember  the 1st Three Letters....

 

 S. T. R.  

  
STROKE  IDENTIFICATION: 

  
During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured  everyone that she was fine (they offered to call  paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over  a brick because of her new shoes. 

  
They  got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of  food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the  evening 

  
Jane's husband called later  telling everyone that his wife had been taken to  the hospital - 
(at 6:00  pm  Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the  signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with &nbs p;us today. Some don't die. They end up in a  helpless, hopeless condition instead. 

  
It  only takes a minute to read this.... 

  
A  neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke  victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the  effects of a stroke...totally. He said  the trick was getting a stroke recognized,  diagnosed, and then getting the patient  medically cared for within 3 hours, whic h is  tough. 

  
RECOGNIZING A STROKE 

  
Thank  God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR  .

 Read and Learn! 

  
Sometimes symptoms of a  stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,  the lack of awareness spells disaster. The  stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage  when people nearby fail to recognize the  symptoms of a stroke. 

  
Now doctors say a  bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three  simple questions: 

  
S  *Ask  the individual to SMILE. 

T  *Ask  the person to TALK an d SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently) 

( It is sunny out  today.) 

R  *Ask  him or her to RAISE BOTH  ARMS. 

 < /FONT> 
If  he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these  tasks, call emergency number immediately  and describe the symptoms to the  dispatcher. 

  
New  Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your  Tongue 

  
NOTE:  Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the  person to 'stick' out his tongue... If the tongue  is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the  other,   that is  also an indication of a  stroke. 

  
A  cardiologist says if everyone who gets this  e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.  

  
I  have done my part.

 

 

Will  you?

Words for Wealth

Every word we say is precious.
The Chofetz Chaim goes into great detail to help us learn the guidelines for proper speech & avoiding word failings.

The first great rule is that it is forbidden to say even one negative word about someone even if it is the actual truth.

Just as it is forbidden to lie one may not reveal negative truth.

How to deal with Issues

We learn from Parshas Korach how not to fight an issue.
Not to fight against ...
Korach could have offered Moshe Rabeinu to assist him in running the programs.

We need to focus our energies on solutions. Don't fight an issue , resolve it.
There are always challenges in life. We need to choose to be part of the solutions.

  Now You Cry?

 

     Within a few hours, two people came up to me with the same story. Actually, they were entirely different cases, totally different details, but the story is the same.

 

     I put tefillin on a man from England. I did not think that he was Jewish. I had to ask him twice. After finishing with the tefillin, he said that he had an urgent mission. He reached into his wallet and pulled out a small note.

 

 

     “This is from my father,” he said. “My father is very religious. He goes to synagogue every day. He wants very badly to put this note in the Kotel. He wants G-d to help him with this. This is very important to him.”

 

    “So, go put it between the stones.” I told him.

 

    He wanted me to understand how important the note was. “My father has a great problem. It’s his daughter…He hasn’t spoken to her in over a year….”

 

  “What’s the problem?” I asked. “Is she with a non-Jewish guy?”

 

  “A Muslim,” he answered, meaning that it was even worse. “This is so important to my father.” He insisted again. “My father is so upset. Please put the note in the Wall.”

 

   I asked if his father raised his daughter with her knowing that she had to marry only a Jew.”

 

  “He ignored her, mostly,” he answered. Then he quickly added, “But this is so important to him.”

 

     I told him to go put the note between the stones, tell G-d the problem, and pray that He will help. But I added, “The time to take care of these problems is before they happen, not after they are living together.”

 

     The second case was that of a friend of mine who lives here in the Old City. His brother just passed away, and his wife and children are about to bury him in a non-Jewish cemetery! His mother is fighting this with all her might, and my friend and his wife just flew back to the States to try to make sure that he receives a Jewish burial. There is going to be a Judge’s decision on the matter.

 

    What’s the story? The man was married to a non-Jewish woman, and had non-Jewish children with her. Well, unless there is a huge miracle, and please G-d there will be, surely, the judge is going to side with his non-Jewish family.

 

     The question we have to ask is, why does the family wait until it is too late before they get excited enough to try to heal these situations?

 

    I am sharing these stories with you so that you will take the proper steps before it is too late. First off, for yourself, decide that you want to have a Jewish family. Surely, you also want your children to have Jewish families, after all, their children are your family, too. Do you love your brothers, sisters, and other close relatives? Then you have to help them, too. And, even beyond your family, you should also try to influence your friends and acquaintances.  Remember, the time to try to help is not after it happens.

 

     Teach your children that it is important to you to keep your family Jewish, and that can only happen if they marry Jews. You cannot spring this information on them after they start dating non-Jews.

 

     It is a lot easier to keep the glass from breaking, than to pick up those sharp, broken pieces after it falls.
