Firstly, Mazal Tov. Secondly, I’m assuming this was written across two threads because of your goysihe and yiddeshe birthday.
mazal tov and amen!
as i posted in a different thread:
heard from the Lubavitcher Rebba:
On your birthday, celebrate the day that HAshem decided that the world could not continue without you.

showjoe: I don’t understand why a person’s birth indicates that the world can’t continue w/o him.
what the Lubavitcher Rebba was saying (i think)is that HAshem dosnt anything for nothing, so therefore every single person has a mission in life that they need to fulfill. and that’s the reason HAshem put them in this world for. and this mission, is crucial for the world to survive.
Showjoe,
That sounds so great and comforting and all that, but it’s not true. If it was true, then the world would cease to exist after anyone commits suicide.
Why does “Hashem doesn’t [do] anything for nothing” = “the world can’t survive without that thing being done”?
SDD
Read showjoe’s post. “…and this mission is crucial for the world to survive.”
LG: i hear.
I’ll have look into it more.
If it was true, then the world would cease to exist after anyone commits suicide.
If he was still needed, Hashem could save him from killing himself.
I heard a story that a famous Rebbetzin saw a construction worker fall from a scaffold. Miraculously, not only did he not die, he was able to walk without medical attention. All the workers were freaked out from seeing the man fall so the foreman let everyone off early. So the guy who feel called out, “Let’s party! Drinks on me at the bar across the street!” And with that, he dashed into the street to be hit by a car which ended his life.
He got a second chance. He was needed for something. He didn’t take his chance and lost his life.

I don’t know if that should be the interpretation…
Cool story, Sidi, but I feel like if the first sentence of your post is true, then that person wouldn’t have had bechira.
It is not a given that every person always has bechira in any
action they do. For example, “Lev m’lachim b’yad Hashem” –
the leaders of nations do not have bechira with regard
to any of their actions that affect the course of history.
