[Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] I go when I can to his shaudas. You see there a manhig a varmig you could feel his way of talking his passion his emotion it's not rare that he just breaks into he breaks down crying speaking about hashem and how much we have to work in the generation to get back to hashem he can be asked on all aspects in the whole scope of Judaism and you one can see that from the different groups and different segments of Judaism that come to hear him on one hand you have this master in tora on the other hand which is a rare combination. You have somebody who's a warm and it's very beautiful to see how it all blends together. Somebody who's got a fiery heart and his heart is a flame. >> And remember when he came we was to host him at at my he came in and the band starts singing. He just he's literally allergic to all that. He likes coming to a seat and he speaks and uh even when even the way he speaks he speaks with such humility. So he makes literally nothing of himself. He's he's called Kool-Ass and called Koulle Torah that there's nothing outside of that. The world is very proud to have somebody who's noted for his goas and for his diligence in Torah and at the same time, you know, being a real [Music] Fore! Foreign! Foreign! for [Music] me. [Music] No. That enough [Music] of Benchmark. [Music] mentions of bit of [Music] Fore! Foreign! Foreign! [Music] Foreign [Music] speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Fore speech. [Music] Shiva chose as a time to start the kahila. I knew I'm a part of this. I felt like there's a revolution here. There's something new. something very very old but also very new into the kil and into the I feel connected again with g connected again with all the it's amazing how much he taps into his father's which was unique within not necessarily when a rebba comes to town does every start jumping something they don't know they don't have a sh it's a When the Shiva comes, everybody's talking about it. Everybody's buzzing about it. So it's like this, this light is coming out of your and it's spreading all over. Wherever you go, you walk into a shul either it's inhes or it's al and English his all over his is all over. Speaking of media, they do a great job tequila and shearing and beautiful messages from the fire messages. It's just also unbelievable. You walk into show from briskum that everybody's there. Anybody who wants a vinkle of varn kite and you don't need to have a spadic to join the kila you need to want yishk kite my life would not be the same if I hadn't had theus to meeta my family's life would not be the same there have been a number of instances over the course of the 19 or so years where I've asked what were lifealtering questions some bigger some smaller but each one which had a rush in my life we've had this to have the rashiva in our sh which is beyond words. >> Everybody can find their place in the Tyra of Durashiva. And I would say that it's Tyra which transforms a person. [Music] When Shiva came in, 800 kids, parents, grandparents, a total of 2,000 people almost all in one big room. It lit up the room. It was unbelievable. [Music] On the way in, there was a Yosam who came with me to welcome the Shiva. Shiva took his time. Am I gave this kid not just like give him I was smoozing with a host of Abshaw alter and he told me you should just know between 5 and 7 they had put in a little slot in his crazy busy day that was called Manuka. when he thought oh the Reb is gonna he's going to lay down he's going to go to sleep the Reb came inside he took his farm and he sat down and he was singing learning and he says oh it's [Music] he left a tremendous impact in the community there was so much depth knowledge and you felt you're next to a giant I know some people afterwards told me that it gave them strength strength and energy and to continue on in the service of Hashem for months to months afterwards. I know that it's not easy for to travel around the world, but the difference a person can every single day make a difference and make a change forever. He's adding a huge impact on not only on his group, but on the Jewish world at large. When the melod is out there, he's not in his palace. He's coming to LA farflung other side other end of the world and everyone is able to sit around the table and get real close and personal. [Music] giant that we're able to be so close to from the beginning has been the source of not only for not only for but for the entire world. This is just another link in this golden chain. Shashiva is is on that ham teaching teaching that we should have to grow how to become closer to Hashem. to [Music] >> feel really that when you sit next to him, not to feel intimidated, not to feel like like he's looking down at you cuz he is the is not about himself. There's no ani there's no then we can continue on from the comes out the gal is every week. It's learned differently once we have the we we saw him in person. But a person learning his feels he's becoming a a different person. It makes an effect. It makes a longlasting effect. when I gave I give my many times it's from the rashiva many times it's inspired by so in a way I feel like is is here through his of course but his effect and his influence is throughout the [Music] a tremendous privilege. The Russa came to visit our community. We hosted him in our sh and it was uh enormous. A huge huge crowd of men came. [Music] >> He spoke not in such a level that people couldn't understand. He spoke right into people's namas, right into their hearts. who's during the war and he feels for Kalisro, for amnisro. He's connected with community not only locally but around the world. The weekly newsletter you can get the email in Hebrew and in English. One of the things that attracts me most to the Russa is he's a G rashiva. He's G through and through that he's connected to Claw Israel. When I moved to England, I got to know a person called Medi Title and he's been telling me all the time about Roshiva and as a literature boy. Okay, very nice. It didn't speak to me at all. But what did strike me was the way I I heard how Rash was handling things with an aim, one aim was shalom, shalom, shalom the whole way through. There's a person who has the ability to be called a Reb and doesn't want to be called a Reba guiding lots of people through any matsim just for shalom. So as we grow up of and all these type of things, you see [Applause] [Music] I teach in a boy school, the Trisha boy school. Rashiva was coming. That was the Shabas I spent in Statill and I tried to commit to Manau that I want the Rashiva to come. We hardly have real Dylim in England. So it's opportunity and the is trying to tell me that look we're not we're not trying to show them here that we don't see we don't really see in England. [Music] We're able to spread his Torah all over the world, specifically in Mexico, Panama, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela. So you see the shashiva, even if he's in your shalime, he has influence all over the world. When you see in California or in Chicago or you see in Brazil or you see in Mexico and Panama that people are listening to him that's that means his connection is all over the world. The rashisha every person can understand his language. The way he speaks he has a soft language that is inspiring people from all type of people. [Music] A such a such a he should be busy with the dayto-day but he should keep giving this speeches because he is inspiring not one person not inspiring the world. Big [Music]
