we're very blessed to continue the end
of this
evening with us reading another piece
of of the G so I want us to open our
hearts and hear
the past few
days both took trips to Kaa
Reon only reason I'm mentioning
it he sent me a video of uh of himself
with a a family of one of our dear
students
friends who was getting well little by
little
God and there was a picture of him
sitting with the family with the guitar
so I thought to myself more the as you
know maybe I could bring a guitar
tonight I
thought and I mean it
seriously my wife and
I spent a combined wife and I
combined together you know first her and
then us
together for sure more than a decade
maybe getting close to two
decades in in Camp Hask for another good
friend of ours
is right now and
campas if you go to
campas so you can go Tish you can go
tomorrow and they'll be music
playing and part of the reason is
because as everybody knows there are
certain places in the world where Gula
already
came and also from a very technical
perspective because there's a hether
it's a long-standing he
it goes back to different RAB who
served and Camp has
but the prohibition of music during the
9 days is not
subject to the general idea of a
therapeutic
newu a person is receiving some sort of
therapy whether it's Physical Therapy
whether it's emotional therapy music is
something
which there's a hether for for such a
thing and so it's P it's so obvious that
a family
that's fighting for every
breath and someone who's just Awakening
from a state of being in a coma for a
little bit that needs the help of music
to bring of course of course you
bringing
guitar and so even though it sounds like
a joke I I second guess myself to I
bring a I bring guitar here for the
therapeutic M that we need that all of
us
need a little music in order
to pick up the broken pieces of each of
us that are just lying on the
floor the Rin on
about whether the main Shir the main
song When We Sing a
Song is the main song done with
instruments or is the main song with
one's
mouth the ones who are singing or the
ones who are playing the instruments or
can you have you
know can you have someone like me
playing instruments inash even though
I'm not a
lady and the that the she is
the the main Shear is
the and one of the reasons as the sh and
others point out that ikir is theet is
we have this
strange feeling when we come to one of
these little islands of space where
we're not allowed to
play instruments we feel it much
stronger an
instrument is there to support the voice
usually and in the Bas of are
instruments to support our
voices but when you strip away the
instrument and you strip away
the that security blanket that you're
holding in order to mask the intimacy
and
the the
terrified little child who standing and
bearing their voice voice the EMS and
you take away that instrument you
realize that the
voice the
P the is is
the says you realize all of a sudden
when you strip away the instrument you
realize that the is also a
ple for something much
deeper that in the same way that the
guitar or the violin or the instrument
serves to support the voice when you
strip away the instrument you realize
okay now this is an
instrument which is supporting something
and revealing something that otherwise I
wouldn't be able to
reveal so the opportunity to which is
not a common it's not something that I'm
used to at
all to sing theim without the help
without the aid of a piano or the last
time I was here in any official capacity
was August was October
3rd October 3rd was the last time I was
in the show upstairs remember that
before the whole world turned upside
down October
3rd and there we did something where we
had also unusual I don't usually when
I'm in a capacity of sharing TOA and
tilila in public space like that poor
guitar as my children say poor guitar or
piano not either or or guitar or piano
but not
both and so last time we had two
instruments and this time we also have
two
instruments there's an instrument of the
pet and there's the instrument of the
heart
and the Kish hasem that's emanating from
this building always good especially
today I walked in I said you Mayan I
have to decide right now whether to go
to this or that like every single one is
like amazing and I want to go to all
them and will be able to listen to all
the
recordings but to be able to sit here
all together and to sing together and to
be Malala our to reveal our
heart and to show that the
ikir is really believe to do that in a
place like
this all the work has already been been
done it's just for us to open our mouths
let the she of the pet Gala she of the
heart

[Music]
think I'm not sure 100% I think tonight
is he
said
[Music]
of that's to explain my sister and
brother-in-law bring
morning so the night before bris is old
custom
cish
means night of
watching the night of watching of her
child that's about to enter to brist
you you have all the little children
come
around and being a little child has
nothing to do with what year you were
born in you know as far as I'm
concerned and The Gather the the
children around
the and as far as I'm concerned also the
baby doesn't have to be in the room
because you can be there also
and and gather
around
together which I hope will Lan with the
Tom ell hope we don't not Lan it I hope
we Lan it with the
Tom not in the way that we always Le
just like the by you
know
father explains a lot the r of my of my
community where I grew up not sure what
the custom is here but the my community
was
from first person named
after and he didn't let us he you didn't
let mer of boys
land and the this is because like you
have you know some 13-year-old kid
chewing out the rest of the kah it's
like probably not so nice you know like
all of you you know I've been keeping
misses for 5 seconds and telling
everybody you know how they have been
doing a good job it's not so
nice but the deeper explanation I
believe and he never said this to me but
I believe this to be
true is that the deeper explanation is
that he didn't let the barito boys L he
made their fathers read
the because when you hear your father
the it's a different thing and the same
thing with know there's a we read every
year in the third
par it's a famous it's for for people
like us and I speak at Liberty here for
all of us you know for people like us
sitting in a sh like this it's like one
of the
hardest now not when we're reading about
historical things obviously they're much
harder but now the of what is that
it's hides himself in a cloud and
doesn't let pass through that closes the
gazes that I'm not interested today
having a conversation with you was
like if you're a person who enjoys and
finds solace in finds sanity in and then
you read a like that that closes the
door he goes in the cloud
no no T is passing through today it's a
hard when you read with the
Tom you can understand that there's
still something the Jewish people
have and that's something that the
Jewish people have is
shma the thing that we have
is I mentioned before I was in by the
hospital brother of this Soldier came
and showed me a safer that was drenched
in blood from
this and he told me he said Benji likes
his sarm to be like written on like very
colorful so and I wrote in the saer
because he said he likes that I wrote it
we should finish the sa together he was
on page
113 a lot more lot more pages in that
book and we should be able little learn
together entering into a bris of
first thing we tell the child is that
there's something called
sh wrote a lot about this I'm not going
to give a whole thing sing about make in
a second
but Sal WR a lot about this about the
the difference between shma
and it only works there's all these
different things the r has like a
million different things like you need
to have go needs to be a certain way
your needs to be a certain way it's
different level of kavana and
orientation of your body so many
different things in order because if
you're not is not
feel shma you don't have to be standing
in front
ofm is when you don't feel like you're
standing in front of
hmma is for when you feel like you're
you've already been or you're about to
go under the knife in an
operation in a
bris and you feel like you're in in the
middle of that
operation we're not in the
yet and when a person feels like they're
sitting in that place
of an operation
ongoing and hashm is hidden in a cloud
and there's no way to penetrate the
cloud there's something called
shma shma is the Cry of the of the
Jewish people
it's the Cry of even if you're hiding
from theem and still fundamentally
believe
in there is no cloud cloud doesn't
exist and so even
though it's true hiding but can still
pass so I don't know if people I'm going
it's also late I'm going to take a do it
anyway I don't know how many people know
this again not know they get sing it one
time if not if we know maybe we'll sing
it twice or three
times in the
hospital when I was when I was there I
took the train I don't know if you took
a car but I didn't shap a guitar I I
went just solo and I standing in the in
the
room and the only nigan that that I
could think to
sing was her Cooks Shir amuna
cook wrote a a beautiful national
anthem I don't want the shabbach or
anyone coming after me but you know I'm
not going to suggest that it should it
should have won the national anthem is
beautiful the way that it
is but there's a certain thing that's
going on in our generation where there's
also this parallel national anthem which
is not just about being
about
being about walking in the footsteps
of and so I don't know who who knows the
name who doesn't know the name I'll try
to sing it together because
I again I don't want the Shabbat coming
after but I also want this to become the
national anthem of of Our Generation
maybe every generation gets like that
not of this you know of Medina but like
every generation gets their own little
national anthem that goes I'm not sure
how to say it but f
