hi it's mostly straight from all - we

some of them I get a shear before it's
Luis we ask them some basic questions
how do you prepare for your shear how do
you even get into def yummy in the first
place anything unique about your shear
hacker that Jaime Lerner spend his voice
now that we're deep within a set of
Shabbes many people are fearing
Moustakas Arvind what message is the
half of them anything special you could
tell our audience to encourage them to
push through with the end of the show is
coming up can you give us a special
message for Shoeless and a closing
message for the old off learners stay
tuned for a three-part series coming out
this week have a wonderful day and a
wonderful hunt if you tell us a little
bit about your background
how'd you get into that feeling me and
NAT is saying a sheer anything unique
you focus on what do you try to give
over to the audience it's a very very
interesting story I think two and a half
cycles ago they were finishing my second
NIDA and there was a lot of excitement
in the air so you mush on us you mush as
and I got excited it just hit me and
it's in a split second and I said to
myself I have two options either I could
start me down when I'm excited or wait
till better hooked and I'm sure if I
would have waited a little bit I thought
that I would have cooled down and I
wouldn't have done it so I picked up
neither they told me well I like to at
least give them the Gemara & Roisin you
know I think you give them some toast
for team outside if we're doing I got
there I like to do all the my hard
shells with them not inside but outside
and of course if we could throw in and
bottom line with the cold and I've
always wanted to learn that feel me
always want to be able to go through
shots I started a number of times not
successful only made it a couple months
in and then before the cycle I had a
neighbor of mine it actually asked me to
give him a shear so I said ok we'll give
it a try a friend of mine asked me like
the record this year and send it to him
said ok why not we'll give it a try
I and then he sent it out to a few
people and inside that another few
people and then the quick talk was born
you know before you know it and I
appreciate the uniqueness that people
have people have given me the
opportunity of preparing this year which
is just straight forward and to the
point
simple tomorrow hush up shot with some
Rashi thrown in there and that's it
people just want to know the dolphin I'm
sayin to be able to get a shoe like that
I grew up in Brooklyn I went to you know
high mushishi literacy achieve is brisk
lake woods the real you know Ian type of
learning you she wish the type of
learning and it was the furthest thing
from my mind learning deaf IME I was the
type of person literally it's not like
the type I remember me and my producer
we a bugbear bhishma literally for three
months and that's the type of learning
that we did so learning WME was
definitely not on my radar and how it
happened was actually a very interesting
story
I never went to like that for yelling me
I was just I was sad and learn the
Chrysler you Shiva and I got married and
my sure my father-in-law took the family
to the SEMA show I was like I was the
young son-in-law and the first one so
you know I was alone for the ride and
within the Continental Airlines Arena
and they're all these speeches am is
beautiful is so inspiring but I'm like
I'm a book person so what am i doing I
see they give the first dog over there
process oh my god give us - yes you know
what am i doing over here I said you
know let's I told my younger brother I
was joking I was kidding with him I said
let's let's do the first time you know
we're sitting here anyways as I make the
most of our time I said you if you if
you start now you can finish Oz before
you get married I'm Eva I'm learning the
senior you know I can't do that says you
mean you know busy I am
three start my day and I was - doing air
I was teaching I was doing all these
different things and possible since okay
but let's learn we said that we learnt
the first I'm an ischemic bronchus
starting off and I saw an ad the deer
shoe and the rest is history
I got sold on that for me it's something
that I'm very proud of that we're doing
as a resource for
or so many different factions to utilize
it's a shear on tasteless with the DEF
CON style that varnish em still gets so
much feedback all over the world
regarding the data time and we're doing
that with Isis which there are other
mediums that are trying to also now
addressed Isis because Isis is it's it's
really it's me
it's the screw and it ties together all
the boards you know you have me Gomorrah
but we all go through Tyson's all roads
lead through Isis and Gomorrah she is
one unit and then there's everything
else in all of the public literature
with how long someplace give me you
can't go anywhere without tasters and
old of is having that feature they have
a kind clarity of a small introduction
what today's gonna talk about the taste
is just giving you the choices in as bet
as a basic text as possible and quickly
summarizing when necessary
after the Tice's we're doing that on
midterm so for a lot of SHM on every da
hopefully in Jos I was I started
learning to feel me when rabbi Shalom
Rossiter gave me a call once and he asks
that he's looking for a solution to
learn to heal me with and I was really
interested in learning that I was
interested in Sheol and bastard so we
started learning together so that's how
I started learning that feel me and a
couple of months we started with creases
a couple of months later we were sitting
in the basement Irish and willing we
were singing bass mentioned ers in the
local high school here in America and
Willig standing remained there came over
to us he's a little older than us he's
much bigger tomahawk from the need for
sure and and he said new whoever you're
learning you def you're me both have
shoes you have to start saying it dummy
shared that girl is gonna make it seem a
shia-sunni sure so we thought it was
crazy we thought no Russians would be
interested in the Deaf you know me we
both had very tiny shoals at the time
and but he pushed any push sure of
doctor willing is not the kind of person
to give up easily and and we listened so
we both started giving deaf youngish
room that's why I started getting into
the filming as far as what is unique
about my cheer I don't think there's
anything particularly unique about my
share
so what I do I just say over try to say
the Gemara as clearly as I can
I learnt a lot from learning with rosin
all those years about how to arrange
things in a clear way always put numbers
to things the governor is gonna have
three my limp answer this warn people in
advance how many it's gonna be they can
already mapped it out in their minds in
advance but all of that everything that
there's nothing unique it's just when I
picked up for my rebellion massive
losses I percussion have been saying
that Flemish Yoram we just began now our
fifth cycle so what I tried to do in
saying my Shearer is try to bring the
halacha Lamesa
a practical halakhah from the gamora's
were learning how to apply to a day to
day life and I do it for a number of
reasons one is I was once pyrovile Yosef
so tell who I was telling him about our
serum and how involved we are in the
serum and he made that recommendation
and I also find that many the people who
participate in learning it as young this
year and not necessarily individuals who
have much other time for learning so
this becomes their primary learning of
the day of the week of their lives
and of course halakhah is an important
element we all have to know how to live
our lives as religious Jews so if we
don't have really much other free time
to learn I try to take advantage of the
heroic aspects of the Comoros that we're
learning and how they could be applied
to our day to day life of course when
we're learning to sexy Shabbos that's
obvious that we need to do and easy to
do but I try to do it throughout all the
Moscoso chefs start a number more than
two cycles ago I never my father did not
feel me all my life for many many cycles
I grew up well he was doing it I never
did I did it for a few weeks when my
father was sick about 1990 or so he was
sick for a couple weeks
my brother and I know it started too
the Dhafir couple weeks while he will
he'd uh he didn't do it he caught up
very quickly
money apart I got better but remember to
mystify in Zion I was the first off sent
its direct you been lady in the mall my
mother is stealing his knife I'm like
wow this is tough you owe me this is
amazing and you know then you get the
next packet it's not every day is as
exciting so to speak but it was always
in the back of my mind at some point you
know you want to see every dolphin shots
I want to be able to do the first step
of being Kona it is going through it so
I know at some point but a couple of
types of cycles ago was when I thought
and you know my wife also had a big
impact in terms of encouragement and it
started it started at Croesus which is
really the end of the cycle and we did
it then and then when Brooklands came
along a couple of guys in my all the
members of my shul and wouldn t ER at
the time asked you know you want to uh
you want to learn the tough with us I
said ok and then once they said with us
it for did to uh
turned into a cheer and on the second
day breakfast up ml they said you know
you mind if we record it and that's how
the recording started and gathered the
Tamiya you know kind of has a life of
its own but no we do it day by day and
no bar Hashem I've had to be able to
learn as many of you who have been don't
had to connect to uh
each day off every single day for the
past number of up cycle two cycles of
the gold dream with that every top up
the brush Emma you know the all death
has now but I wanted to take it to the
next level for uh for myself for others
and that's picking one sukhiya playing
politics on that such gothic sometimes
London's on every daf1 topic twenty
minutes to be able to delve deeper as
are my three I'm said food cycles ago
seemed ago he says if you've done the
top it's like going through a a new
country you go visit so you do the main
types let's act if I'm you go you've
already done the main site you want to
do you wanna get a little deeper you
want to know it a little more oh like
once you've done the top a traffic jam
you've had a lot of you saw those
mentioned you know the tour little
deeper regard
one or two issues on the DAF 20 minutes
a little package mini shear that you
know that complements that and
supplement you know to listen to the
regular DAF a few minutes or so Duff and
then add that to the one Columbus on the
DAF you know for that cheer we try to do
it almost as many days as we can Bharata
being that you're busy and you have
other responsibilities when do you have
time to prepare for this year and has
anything changed during Koba 19 that has
forced you to alter your preparations
you have to call bout time and that time
means that you have to shut your phone
and you can't be interrupted every day's
a different time I don't have a set time
when I do it but that time becomes dead
to the world
Co but actually has made it easier for
me because I'd less responsibilities to
the congregants was we just not getting
out let's function less social functions
so there's a silver lining in that as
well that I have a little easier
preparation time when always varies it
could be any time from five o'clock in
the morning before the kids wake up to
way late at night after the kids go to
sleep any time in between then is fair
game
I'm sorry getting a myriads of answers
and it's fascinating because we go to
the old additional events and my wife
tends she's I say she's the speaker in
the family and she tends to speak and
and and they add and all the other women
are saying like yeah my husband becomes
a t-shirt tested said you can't talk to
him or whatever my wife's like I don't
know my husband just like a regular
husband I don't know it and and the way
I prepare is really an Co but is the
same thing it's whatever Life brings and
that's that's my mo and how I how I deal
with life it could be two o'clock in the
morning it could be whatever the life
brings to my schedule that's how I
prepare I have I have my work that I do
at my other shoe that I do it's it's
it's it's as it comes along and yet W
komen has changed it I tell people I'm a
twenty five percent capacity so for all
you people out there Alicia sawdust I
had to put a shove a lot of different
things although I actually started new
projects right now but it's like you
have to come to the witness and and the
mahai about bring it up it's you can't
come tomorrow empty-handed so whatever
is good things gonna take that's how I
prepare for the death
prepare for the shear every morning I do
it in the morning before I give the
share the shares at 6:15 so I wake up a
little bit earlier and I prepare in the
morning that's always been my Mahalo cuz
I'm a morning person my mind is fresh in
the morning at night it would take me
three times as long to prepare at night
so I've always been a morning person
it's a little bit of time pressure
because if you're allowing yourself an
hour to prepare for the Shearer and it's
a really tough blood and air even so
then you dive in for some Seattle dish
mayor and you hope that you're that
you're make it through anyhow and
they're like you'll have any pity me
while you're giving this year that
you'll figure out the Gomera as you're
saying which does happen sometimes the
dish mayor and sometimes you just don't
get it but you try your best and it's
changed at furthering the company during
The Cove 19 period only in the sense
that and because there's not see we're
still here there's not scalable seed
world and so I didn't leave a secret
every day so I had to make up a little
bit earlier and then fit by seeking like
right in the middle of my preparation of
the death you know in order to let's
make everything work everybody has their
unique style in how they live and how to
war first year and how they prepare is
here and what I have discovered is that
the need for having a schedule when you
prepare and what you prepare is critical
and doing it and if you do it on a
regular basis in a very organized way it
will become easier to do in general my
family knows and that in my opinion one
of the most important qualities one
needs to have in life is being organized
organized people are much more
successful in my opinion are much more
capable to accomplish more and as the
one thing as it is are preparing a shear
for seven days a week and it is
certainly a challenge if you have an
organized approach to it it certainly
becomes easier to do
in a way covered 19 has certainly made
it easier for me to prepare this year I
know nobody says the cover 19 made
anything easier but for me in one regard
it made it easier because I live in
Brooklyn
I work in Manhattan and spend on the
regular circumstances at least two hours
or more a day traveling back and forth
from work and that time on the subway is
spent for preparing this year now
preparing this year on a subway if
anybody's ever traveled to subways of
New York City you correcting noise is in
itself a challenge and certainly getting
a seat is the first most important
element to successful preparation now
that we are unfortunately not able to go
to our offices so I still need though
that time to prepare but it's much
easier to prepare in my home than
standing or even sitting on a subway car
every day's a challenge people people
have asked me so how many often my go
ahead I said tomorrow's you know that
can't can't be that far enough ever give
me a lot of different she just kind of
be prepared I know I once spoke to a
hockey team that get stuck two hours in
the morning early prepare the DAF I I
can't go to sleep without having it the
night before everybody's everybody's
different but you try to try to find
time try to figure out exactly obviously
when I'm know before the for the the
muggy festrunk you know there was
different schedules you know finding
time but now it's like all the kids have
been home past couple months that's the
biggest challenge having everybody in
the house my wife's a pediatrician so
she goes out and he works I'm home with
the kids all day getting everything fun
with the zooms and the classes and and
it's uh ballon dink but I kind of wake
up early couple hours before everybody
else and try to prepare then and yeah
the different type of preparation you
know the the DAF was a doc sheer again
try to pack it in with as much as many
be shown in my thrown in using the
mister the Peoria the haha that's some
other you know sparring or just sticking
him know as much as as won't keep back
in I'll talk about that those two more
in a minute but again this is the
for the first question is you know what
topic talk about hope at the top and try
to figure out one one point that people
would want to know more about something
crucial something important about this
often shots there you sowed that it's
not teachers offs they try to uh to
bring out to you know to at all that's
that's what it is it takes you know
depending on the topic whether it's
something that's more familiar or less
familiar that's you know there's this
farmer out there and the a lot of the
work has been done ready whether it's
the mid-city back in the Mississippi uh
whether it's the you know other mow far
Jim other sit freak obits on every
misete that has its farm so but he
weren't backwards and Thursday when
you're preparing a cheer and we have to
look everything up that's the crucial
even if one is uh preparing a cheer and
you're using a safer that is a safe that
gathers the crucial point for one's own
learning and to be able to give it over
properly is to look up the original
source can be shown in the acronym
that's because that's that's key in
terms of being able to give it over and
to be able to appreciate reaching what
though with its or set
