In this episode I tell over a story that took place on January 28th 1986 a most infamous day in American History. The day of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. Some might say it was the day America watched as NASA failed to break the barrier between heaven and earth. But rather than concentrate on the disaster itself I look at a dramatic subplot that emerged. A subplot which teaches us a most valuable lesson in סבלנות and to judge others favorably. Once again a special thank you to Rabbi Yaakov Krausz for his beautiful tunes which enhanced the story immensely.

In this episode we hear a vital reminder of the significance the Mitzvah of Kibud Av Vaem. The Torah tells us כַּבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּךָ לְמַעַן יַאֲרִכוּן יָמֶיךָ Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be lengthened (Shemos 20:12). The Torah clearly teaches us the reward for this Mitzvah is living a long life. In this episode this Passuk comes to life when a child who listens to his mother –without an argument, is rewarded with life. - some parts of this episode may be freighting for young children.

In this epic tale we are reminded of the great importance of the Middah of Patience. We learn of a great a Tzadik who is thrown into a difficult tumultuous situation yet his unwavering Emunah allows him to remain unshaken by the great decision that lies before him. This Tzadik is willing to wait and to learn all the facts and Halachos necessary to provide the proper Psak Halacha/ruling for this case.

Through a great miracle, he was given the opportunity to have a few hours that he could enjoy the Nachas of children and grandchildren but he chose a different joy of life! In this story we see a yid that truly understands the value of time!
