Time Is Running Out - Act Now!

Rabbi Nissim Yagein told the following story: He was once visiting Bikur Cholim Hospital and he saw a little boy filled with life, running around, asking his parents for chocolate milk and bamba. He asked one of the nurses "What is this child doing here - he looks completely healthy?" She answered in a somber tone. "He has a tumor but doesn't understand the severity of the situation."

Two weeks later the child was no longer amongst the living.


There are many people who are walking around with a decree over their heads that their time is coming to a close but are oblivious to this fact. Come to think about it, there is a decree upon us all- it is just a matter of time.

This means that we should take advantage of every second. Time never comes back and all we have with us at the end is our good deeds. No, not even our money. As Dovid Hamelech put it כי לא במותו יקח הכל

Sort of takes away my desire to watch baseball highlights.... Time is SHORT.

Arichus yomim vi'shonim to all of my tyere friends:)!
