5000 RABBIS UNDER 1 ROOF!!! (Kinus HaShluchim 2023)

good morning from Edison New Jersey I flew in today from Texas to attend an amazing event that I attend every single year this event brings together more than 5,000 rabbis from the entire world people are attending from more than 100 countries and this is the annual kosim so my track record at this event is not great I usually show up a little bit late but this year I'm an hour early so I get to be here when they're preparing [Music] he [Music] it's incredible because outside there's a massive room full of waiters they're sitting and eating lunch these are only the waiters who are going to be serving this crowd look at this room it's s when was for it was good just now the sound next song wasn't coming in how are you good thank God how are you to see you as well the means the Gathering of the or is an emissary a messenger and these emissaries these rabbis these Messengers were sent out all over the world by the LA rers of blessed memory who realized that there was a lack of of rabbis and representatives of the Jewish Nation all over the world in communities that had almost fallen apart the communities that had almost died out and they had no leadership anymore and there were also communities that had never been large communities but they needed someone to lead them there are Jews all over the world who wanted to connect to their faith but they didn't have a way a method or a contact person to make that happen so the Reba in his great wisdom and with an incredible Vision sent people all over the world and it started with a few people in Morocco a few people in the United States a few people in Canada but now there are literally thousands more than 5,000 rabbis and reiton emissaries and their wives who are also emissaries who are serving all over the world to help spread the light of Judaism and get Jews connected to their faith again so we're in one of the many kitchens this place is massive and in a few minutes it's going to be filled with employees who are going to start making portions for the thousands of guests who are going to be eating dinner here at this event but first a word from our sponsor this video is sponsored by daily giving daily giving is an incredible organization that vets Charities to make sure that the money the donors are giving to the Charities is going to the right place I've said this before and I'll say it again there's no better feeling in the world than giving therefore I give $1 every single day to charity through daily giving by the way if the sound of my neighbor's lawn mower is bothering you sorry about that but I bet you can't get your lawn mow for $1 however for just $1 a day you can be giving charity to amazing Jewish organizations and trust me there's no better feeling in the world than giving so use the link below to sign up for daily giving and you'll feel good just like I do thank you very much this is the famous onion crunch that comes on top of the dinner at the Kenn every year look there's a whole whole cart full of [Music] it [Music] found a little corner here and the caterer hooked me up at lunch in advance so that I can work when everyone else is eating thank you very [Music] much yummy so I'm here with Mr Isaac green Walt who is the caterer for this event how many years have you been doing this I don't remember maybe 10 12 okay is this one of the biggest events you do every year yes how many people are you feeding today today I believe 4700 4700 portion it's less than last year last year was 65 right because of the war Isel War Israel they slow down there's less people and how many staff you have working here I got 117 I believe so do you have any idea like what how many tons of food are you serving there wouldn't say in uh in fish is serving a ton a ton and a quarter of fish a ton and a quar of fish 80 cases 100 cases of wine how do you serve 4700 people dinner at the same time because you have two kitchens and you have four lines that are double that you have 16 lines going out 300 people per line so you got it done in around 20 minutes 18 minutes so they're serving 4700 people in 20 minutes last and most important question how do you deal with this stress of an event like this you don't deal with it that's a problem you wait for the next day okay thank you very much good luck with everything thank you now this conference this K is something that I absolutely love going to and I make sure to be there every single year no matter what so wherever I am in the world I will get on a plane and fly to New York to be at that K number one because I've made friends and acquaintances with so many of these rabbis who are serving all over the world it's an incredible opportunity for me to get together with them once a year to just chill and spend time and talk and catch up so one of the reasons that look forward to this event so much is because I get to walk the room and meet rabbis who I know from all over the world and they are from a very diverse group of [Music] countries so what's your name and where you from I'm Gordon from Tasmania which is the state of Australia it's all the way down south as I sometimes say you go to the end of

in the Holy Land thank you doctor so the event is over it was an incredible evening now I'm headed to New York City to Queens and there I'm going to pray at the resting place of the laava jba and after that I'm going to break down what this event is why I come to it every year and what I gain from it so let's head to the rebba it's like almost a 2-hour drive from here wish me luck [Music] the main reason I attend this event is because it gives me inspiration and this event actually helps to carry me through the year you see I am not a rabbi and although I do hope to become a rabbi One Day by studying the Torah and the texts which are necessary to become a rabbi I don't have a community of people who live in my city that rely on me I don't have people who need my guidance but what I do have is this precious Community you guys right here here who although this was never my intention and I don't even know how we ended up in this place because when I started this YouTube channel all I intended for it to be was me sharing my travels around the world it has turned into something much larger there's a massive Community right now almost 60,000 people are here and that's only on YouTube there's also a community on Tik Tok and on Instagram and on Twitter and on Facebook and on my WhatsApp status which you should totally join by the way link down there anyhow um this community this digital community that we have here this family as I like to call it many of you guys are not Jewish but you want to learn more about the Jewish Lifestyle the Jewish culture and the Jewish religion and then we also have many Jewish people who for whatever reason were not very connected with their faith and somehow through my YouTube channel and our community our family they want to get connected once again so I'm not a rabbi but in a way I'm trying to do my part to spread the light of my faith my traditions and my culture and I want to bring people together I want to make this a more connected world where people from different faiths different religions different ethnicities different backgrounds can get together learn about each other and I feel like if we learn about each other we can definitely work together to be more unified and make the world a better place and although I never thought this is what my life would look like at this point I have people reaching out to me constantly telling me that they want to learn more about the Jewish faith and religion and culture many of them want to come visit the New York area which has has the largest concentration of Jews outside of Israel so what I've been doing over the past few years is responding to these requests and trying to get people connected in any way that they want to so I have Jewish people reaching out to me and saying hey can you help me find a rabbi in my area of course that's what I do and if you are looking to contact a rabbi in your area let me know I will help connect you and then I have YouTubers reaching out to me and say hey I kind of want to learn about your culture can you show me around your neighborhood of course that's what I've done with Peter santanello that's what I've done with Drew binsky that's what I've done with mint from IR Ro alone who's from Thailand and I've even had TV networks like CNN reach out to me and ask to come see the neighborhood and I always try to say yes and make it work because once again I want to find a way to connect people to bring people together because I feel that is the most important thing today in such a divided Society it's time to bring people together most recently sha from Japan came to see the neighborhood standing right behind me is sh he's visiting from Japan and he came to learn about theic community so I'm taking him here to a synagogue in Crown Heights and we're showing him around so that he can share with his audience who the Jewish people are because now he has an inside view of our [Music] community [Music] people only feel discriminated if they don't know enough about it right so the more you learn and the more you study hi so how was your day today seeing the k Community it was amazing on the loing newsing so much and then so interesting yeah what do you think was the most important thing you learned uh so like not all about the internet so because what I study a lot actually before come here and then a lot of things very different and to experience and to come here is very important for me to find out your cultures and I respect your cultures uh so many different cultures you have uh it's completely different as my cultures and then I really respect that and then thank you so much thank you very much for coming yeah and um I I appreciate you coming I want you to know that you're welcome anytime thank you and uh we really appreciate having you here thank you very much it was a very nice one day yeah yeah thank you wow making friends and there are also many private people who don't have YouTube channels but they want to come to Brooklyn they want to get to know the culture the Jewish religion and I help them I find them someone to take them around if I'm in town I sometimes take them around if I'm I'm out of town I'll find someone else to take them around but it's all about bringing people together so to make a long story short the reason I'm telling you all of this is because I'm no Rabbi I have no formal training to do this but in a way I've realized that every single human being has something that they can contribute to this world and the K reminds me that every person can share every person can help others grow and every single person can be empowered to make a difference therefore if you want to find a rabbi in your area if you want to learn more about the Jewish faith and traditions if you want to come see the Brooklyn k Community or any other Jewish Community around the world reach out to me I'm here to help because I want to make a difference and don't forget you too can make a difference you can make an impact and you can change the world thank you very much God bless you all and we'll see you very soon
