Everyone wants a blessing in life.

Livelihood, happiness, contentment from the children, success at work and health.

Many times we look for virtues that will help us succeed and be blessed, but sometimes we forget to look around us, at the simple things, that if we do them - we will have great salvation.

The Admor Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto, wrote about this in one of the letters he sent to his students in recent days and even told about an act that happened to him while he was studying at the Maalot HaTorah Yeshiva, with his teacher and rabbi Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach.

At the beginning of his remarks, the Rebbe Rabbi Pinto wrote: “We are looking for virtues and things that will stand with us in these difficult days, days when truth is absent and there is no joy of truth for nothing, only from the words of a living God.

"But we have at our disposal a tremendous virtue and a tremendous virtue, which we do not know how to utilize properly, and it is the poverty of an artist and also an artist whose name is blessed."

Rabbi Pinto told of his teacher and rabbi, Rabbi Auerbach: "And we remember the days when we were privileged to be near Maor Yisrael, which testifies that he was a great saint and the only saint of the generation, Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, who would not leave the beit midrash for months. Was tired he would fall asleep in his place.

And so at night he would stay to sit and study all night, tired and fall asleep on the chair, and in the morning before the morning prayer he would dip in the mikveh, so an agenda of years. "

"And one night we sat in a yeshiva to study," Rabbi Pinto went on to say, "he came and asked us to accompany him with two other boys. We walked unknowingly through the desolate streets of Jerusalem, and arrived at the Zichron Moshe seminary and he sat there for hours, and only an artist answered. Heaven is great, until morning and we returned to the yeshiva. "

"On the way we asked him, what is it exactly? He answered and told us, another day will come and you will understand and know what the power of the poverty of an artist and artist will be her great name. And already Mor Zakir Avir Yaakov Abuhatzira ztzokl, writes in his book He does not receive his answer, until he observes the artist to be her great name. "

The Rebbe added about the virtue of the poverty of an artist: "And we must know that an artist and an artist will be her great heaven, it is a secret and a power and a very high degree.

And our Rabbi Rabbi Eliezer Papu Zatzokal in his book 'Wonder Counselor' (poor value) writes and this is his language, if they knew those who are prevented from answering, the size of the reward of an artist and artist would be heavenly and blessed and holy, they would pursue lilac and hear and answer, For one poor man, as a source of much spoil. "

"And our rabbi possessed the 'Cape of Life' (sign no. 18) in the name of the 'grace to Abraham' (letter a) who would give and would strive for the poverty of Kaddishim and artists, at least as for the profit of some pennies.

And of such it is said, 'If you ask for money ... then you will understand the fear of the Lord "(Proverbs 2: 4).

" Therefore the evil instinct hides and lowers the virtue of the interest of an artist.

And when we are confronted with the words of the Midrash Rabbah (Deuteronomy Parsha 7a), there is no great before Gd a coach that Israel is interested in, and in particular an artist will be her great name, which is the scepter of the King of Kings Gd, wrote to conclude.
