Transcript

And lest you think that that is not possible, comes along our best friends the locusts, the kosher locusts and tell us yes it is. Because a Yid, if a locust has jumping feet, if a locust has jumping feet, then can you imagine what a Yid has? Can you imagine what I have Rabosai? So just to point out, may not be the ideal, in general again in change slow and steady, but we've all been in those moments I need to do something absolutely dramatic. Lest you think that that is impossible, the mussar haskel of the locust says: if the locust has jumping feet and can move itself dramatically from point A to point B, if the locust can do it, then when necessary, I can do it as well. We may not eat it, but we absolutely have to live it.
