Start your day with a short inspirational audio from Rabbi Yechiel Spero "Paid In Full" LISTEN Transcript:          Welcome to inspiration daily. Gmar chasima tova to all. There is a beautiful story that will begin Inspiration Daily for tuf shin ayin vav; A beautiful and touching story that will give us much to think about. The story was told over by Rav Go'el Elkarif who said he heard it from the person to whom it happened.     There is a fellow who owns a jewelry store in Eretz Yisroel. One day, not long ago a nine year old girl walked into the store and said, "I am here to buy a bracelet". She looks through the glass cases and points to a bracelet that was three or four thousand dollars. The man behind the counter asked her, "You want to buy that bracelet?" And she says, "Yes". He says, "Wow, you have very good taste. Who do you want to buy it for?" She says, "For my older sister". He says, "Oh that is so nice! Why do you want to buy your older sister this bracelet?" The little girl says, "Because I don't have a mother or father, and my older sister takes care of us. So we want to buy her a present, and I'm willing to pay for it". She pulls out of her pocket a whole bunch of coins that totaled seven shekel, eighty agurot, which is a little less than two dollars. The fellow says, "Wow! That's exactly what the bracelet costs". He wraps up the bracelet and says, "You write a card to your sister while I wrap the bracelet". In a short amount of time, he finishes wrapping the bracelet, he wipes away his tears, and hands the little girl the bracelet.       A few hours later the older sister comes in and says" I'm terribly embarrassed. My sister should not have come here. She shouldn't have taken it without paying." He says to her, "What are you talking about?" She says, "What do you mean? This bracelet costs thousands of dollars. My little sister doesn't have thousands of dollars, she doesn't even have ten dollars. So she obviously didn't pay for it". The fellow who owns the jewelry store says, "You couldn't be more wrong. She paid me in full. She paid seven shekel, eighty agurot, and a broken heart. I want to tell you something. I am an alman, I lost my wife a number of years ago. People come into my store every single day. They come in and buy expensive pieces of jewelry, but all these people can afford it. When your sister walked in, for the first time in so very long since my wife had died, I once again felt what love means". He gave her the bracelet and wished her well.      Says, Rav Go'el Elkarif, we come to the Ribono Shel Olam and we want to buy something very expensive. We want to buy life, but we cannot afford it. We don't have the money to pay for it. We don't have the zechusim. So we come to the Ribono Shel Olam and we empty our pockets, with what? A kabbalah here and a kabbalah there; I'll keep cholov yisroel during the Asrers Yimei Teshuva, I'll keep pas yisroel like the Mishnah Brura says, I'll pick up the phone and call someone who is lonely, I wil learn an extra five minutes mussar, I will be kind, I won't speak lashon harah for two hours; something small. The Ribono Shel Olam says, "Oh, you don't know how long it's been since I've felt what love means". The Ribono Shel Olam sees how much we are willing to do, how much we love him, and he says, "You know what? You have touched my heart. Here it is, paid in full".      Have a great beginning to your Aseres Yemei Teshuva, and a great year.

What A Special Kalla

    I heard a beautiful story today about Rav Wosner. Rav Shmuel Wosner was the posek hadar, the one who rendered the most difficult and complex shailos, the questions that came his way. One day, a young couple that is engaged walked into his office. They had a very difficult shailah. The shailah was as follows:

    The chosson was not feeling well. Nebach, after taking a number of tests, he was diagnosed with the machlah, cancer. He decided that he was going to break the engagement. He went to the kallah together with his parents and informed her that the engagement was off because he didn't want her to have to live with such a difficult prognosis and such a difficult nisayon. But she said, "Absolutely not, this is my lot. And the fact that you got sick after we got engaged means that this is my tzarah as well". She refused to allow him to break the engagement. Well, when they were about to leave, they asked Rav Wosner what they should do. He said, "If this is the dedication that you have for one another, then you can and should stay engaged". B"H, he had a refuah shleima, but before they left they asked Rav Wosner if he could give them a bracha. She specifically said, "Being that I am staying engaged can you please give me a bracha that my chosson should get better". Rav Wosner was crying and he said, "I will give you a bracha on one condition, that you give me a bracha as well". Such a young lady, who is willing to embrace a nisayon, I want a bracha from you as well. 

    B"H the couple had a beautiful life together and continues to have a wonderful family. Let's realize that sometimes when difficult things come our way, that is our nisayon. And we we have been chosen because we can handle it. Have a great day.

Transition Of 3 Israelis

Many Israelis pack their bags after the army and go traveling to India and the Far East in their search for spirituality. Very often, only once they return to Israel do they realize that the spirituality that they were searching for was right on their doorstep.
