Olympics: With My Strength and Might
מודים אנחנו לפניך ה' אלקינו ... שאנו משכימים והם משכימים, אנו משכימים לדברי תורה, והם משכימים לדברים בטלים. אנו עמלים והם עמלים, אנו עמלים ומקבלים שכר, והם עמלים ואינם מקבלים שכר. אנו רצים והם רצים, אנו רצים לחיי העולם הבא, והם רצים לבאר שחת. שנאמר: "ואתה אלקים תורידם לבאר שחת, אנשי דמים ומרמה - לא יחצו ימיהם, ואני אבטח בך.
We give thanks to HaShem, our G.od, for giving our portion to sit in the Bet Medrash ... we rise early in the morning, they rise early in the morning; we rise to pray and learn Torah, they rise to do worthless things. We work, they work; we work and receive rewards and they do not receive rewards. We run and they run; we run to Olam Haba and they run to Hell. As it says, Psalms 55;24 "ואתה אלקים תורידם לבאר שחת, אנשי דמים ומרמה - לא יחצו ימיהם, ואני אבטח בך"
"But Thou, O God, will bring them down into the nethermost pit; Men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I trust YOU"
Olympics is an event whose very purpose is to push the limits of human beings and its concept is כוחי ועוצם ידי עשה לי את החיל הזה With my strength and might...
This is an illustration how absurd Olympics competitions are and how worthless it is...
"ברוך אתה ה' שלא עשני גוי Blessed are You, HaShem, for not creating me a Goy"
אַשְׁרֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי כָמוֹךָ
Happy are you, O Israel, who is like you?
