~ One Hundred Words on the Parsha – Beshalach

This story was heard from R’ Eli Roberts. A young man who had been a student at Rabbi Roberts’ yeshiva called him before קול נדרי imploring him for a son. Rabbi Roberts told him, :the ball is in your court” so to speak. You must give up the Apps on your phone. After סוכות, the man called back and said that he had deleted his Apps and had not yet merited good news. Rabbi Roberts asked if he had given up all the Apps. The man said that he only kept one: President Trump’s daily tweets that he felt he needed to see. Rabbi Roberts said, “nothing doing”, and hung up the phone. The man called back and said that he was giving up that App as well. A few weeks later he called with the good news.

In the words of Rabbi Roberts: we need to remove the חרון אפ Charon App (a play on the words חרון אף - Hashem’s anger)
