We continue with great quotes of Ahavat Yisrael from Rabbi Pam. On page 20 of the Artscroll biography, it says, “ Once, somebody came to speak to Rav Pam in yeshiva after the Mincha prayers. Rav Pam was obviously busy, so the person said, “Perhaps the Rosh Yeshiva does not have time now.“ Rav Pam replied, “One never has time, but one must make time when it comes to helping someone else. If you don’t make time, you will never have time, because people are always busy.” It is beautiful to see how Rav Pam practiced these concepts. On page 277, it says, “ When Rav Pam was observing the year of mourning following his mother’s passing, he would go to weddings for a few minutes to wish the groom Mazal Tov and give his blessings before the Chupah/ceremony. There were some weeks when this was a nightly occurrence, and on some nights he went to more than one wedding. One of the other Roshei Yeshiva asked him , “ It is such an effort for you to go to these weddings. People know that you are a mourner and can only stay for a short while. Must you take the time every night just to say Mazal Tov? “ Rav Pam’s answer was, “ For me it is every night, but for the chatan it is once in his life.“ We might be busy, and we might have a lot to do, but for a moment, let us peer into the recipient’s life, and see what it means to him, in his life. Yes we have a lot of functions to go to, and there are nonstop occasions. But for the person that is involved in the occasion, it is his only occasion. Rav Pam was a Kohen. His student’s father was once in the hospital but Rav Pam was uncomfortable entering the hospital, because, as a Kohen, he to be careful near dead bodies, and he was not exactly sure what the set up was in that specific hospital. So although he was unable to visit, he figured out a solution. He told his student to arrange a time when this man could come to the window of his second-story room, and Rav Pam would greet him from the street below. That is what they did, and in this way, he was able to provide comfort for the man. We can see from this that Rav Pam spent a lot of his time on short but impactful exchanges with people, realizing what that impact was. Of course, he was a busy man. He was a Rosh Yeshiva,. He had a lot to learn, and a lot to do. But he found time. Because, like he himself said, “ If you don’t make time, you will never have time. Because people are always busy. “ That is a powerful line. Have a wonderful day.
