Where would the kids hang out? Where would they sit? >> First of >> You remember the You remember the Fabians in the small z? >> Sure. But the question this wasn't until you pass. This was in the later years. >> So where where were the kids hanging out in the >> first of all when we came I didn't know no English no nothing but better than being English. No other. We just get on there and test. How old were you when you came to America? >> Huh? Four four years old. She already knew how to speak but not >> before we went to we know no English nothing but then the test they cried a lot that they parent children the first thing they do was crying and gave out a thing till 9 years old is that you shouldn't learn no English till 9 years old he's asking not to learn about 29 years old. So the next day everybody went out of the English grades. They made a clear special for us not a special grade kids from the class higher class lower the met with the whole class and we learned the whole deal with the Kesh. >> But you didn't move to Ala was not there yet. >> It happened then.

Some kids stayed the whole time and certain people went to high school like went used to go down to the parent with them speak his father used to go collect the South African money. He he made he told his son to go away not this to his father.

They didn't want their children to to grow up that way. I and this house how was how house how house how house how house how house how house was one >> that's what the rebba was trying to address this >> that's what the rebba was trying to address this whole concern >> and preoccupation people with spoke about it times >> that called it he spoke about it that it says the the time of Mai because they they were they they been supposed to one of the spoke about this from go later in the room cry yourself Even if you go to be proud of it later go to a a room is good very sharp. So that's what we learned the whole day with the kesh and so until 14 we learn then we went to learn about >> okay so before you got to I want to hear about that but I want to ask you certain things that you remember from when you were a kid in 770 >> there's many things you g the is that we spoke about the the I remember he spoke about it says [clears throat] that you learn said you and you learn and later you go to Eve you you look for mana You have a good portion miss and later you look for the portion is missing salt from salt and was very cried a lot of but there's many times like this especially there was a famous time when the balance then was very poor going should be like a shabas by day was Friday night and shabas It was too take away the the mash. It wasn't the crowd but the dirt people used to rain downstairs and it was cold. There was no heater especially shalash. Yeah, it was cold from outside. So Gordon was upstairs.

And then every year I went to >> So can you tell me about >> what >> a certain age not by heart >> why >> fine I know but I never became but people have to We wrote the Reb this is my birthday that's nobody want to take up time from from theb even man to call him said why he just writes down I want to write to the I write him not pick up this man I s they just went they have something to write about sconist about this. They wrote later in attack of Nes the everybody was working what what to write what to do the we were close with before but then started in a situation he starting wasn't gone and started a little bit It's like I I want to get to the the soon but the never the never there's no you ever got you know we're always looking myself included for ways to stay and be connected to the and not just anyway but something tangible the way to do it especially around is a little bit of the backgroundish which is the rashisk is a fund that was opened by theb immediately after the passing of the during the shiva. In fact, it's the only corporation that theb himself opened and the idea is really for communal needs that relate to women, women's education, women that are struggling financially and the general welfare of women and girls. And here's the interesting part. that the Reb gave instructions how how to give. Reb said to give in increments of 470 which is the gamatri of the rebbitson's name whether it's $4.70 $47 470 or $4,700. Giving in these increments is how the Reb directed us to support this fund and honor the Rabbit. This past year, Kamish gave out over $1 million to Kala, to women and girls programs, and to McVice. To me, when we do this, we're not just donating. We're fulfilling a specific request the Reb made. We are connecting ourselves to the Reb and the Rabbit. [music] I will be donating to Karamesh. And you can too at Karensh.org. That's ke n h a c h o m.org work I should think I should think before before I go to sleep and and this and this is only go to sleep at night thinking how the day went through he didn't think how the day went through so you have to have every day is but then this is the whole thing when they said he has always and then I heard the first time probably about 16 [laughter] 15 16 years old then I saw So that's when you know you're >> um you mentioned before. >> Yeah. >> Fine. was the last time he gave in. So we didn't know to go. We didn't go our did not go. Okay. So what's what's the question? >> Yeah. And but was before me and other people he was invited didn't go. So later we could have learned because we learn why didn't you guys go but we didn't push to go because that was very marked with only these people that are and was only right put his hand over. Yeah. >> Yeah. I think certain people they were here without told them your dollar is so >> by the way. >> Huh? >> A random question. Nothing to do but you mentioned that you didn't learn. >> Why is it that kids don't learn any >> how come children don't learn any >> now? >> Yeah. Something I always wondered. I'm [snorts] also wondering why I asked kids over German not yet when you start next when next year always >> but I'm saying even younger I you learn with with no right I don't know anything so why how come >> I don't know I felt very surprised and I gave one to the I said one of the big now is mom year was 15 14 16 today for the young kids They give up a guy that has a job in England. He need another hour for salary to come to Latania. So the guys he doesn't prepare good. The guy stopped coming now came better. But years ago kids didn't learn and 18 19 they went out of course they didn't have for their age. So I once spoke about you should have the best people for the younger old get the biggest mash has to be for 14 15 16 this is the most critical age to give and this would be where I spoke they didn't take me to serious now I became better I hear from they had better people for >> that's what it was in your time was when you were 14 was excellent for He more excellent than for older. >> Why? >> Because he had a certain way out of her brain with young. >> So maybe maybe tell me about when I remember when we were a were young kid 14 years old. It's like we closed the windows and the doors. He has to speak a serious thing to the 13-y old kid. He sent out the room for the old heel so she go around the table. He spoke to us about it was a very serious and he used to do he had a certain lack when he stick his hand around guy's head and car we should come early places but his be closer to him for the guys were close to him he's take him around and it was it was excellent for kids 14 fiction he's the best the way he way and the way he told stories and he he he never since those years >> his own bam later he went to park with some time because did we send up Bham to park where we finished in better than but he was very devoted to us and that told to Yale he's told which class is But this is a kid with kid with good heads with them. Yeah. >> But your class >> because the first normal clear was one guy from here, one guy from there. It wasn't the normal 1520 B after the war. There's a guy that went par didn't learn. It was not uh it was the first a whole bunch of kids together. Normal kids came from Cleveland. Then he became better than the der was a kid with a whole bunch of guys with good heads. So, so was very devoted to us and we were to him very devoted. He went to us. He used the famous with us all night till the morning. Yeah. >> What about >> huh? >> What about everything? We once it was he said he said it was and he sang about he was crying right around the table. He went around the table every kid and told him he I mean it wasn't only that he even was then 10 to 8:00 We just sat down to pub which all got up to run to sun7 y which way we were young kid then 10 minutes we can make it fast and that didn't be to 77 we came on Sunday exactly 8:00 it was empty on Sunday because they were married that night in Cleveland all the sandi went to Cleveland and there wasn't a lot of sand either was 100 90 all together 80. So we have a place next to Yale sing that is going to be 150 years from and said that should be given out right after the book separately and separately. was called Hakan. He started a new thing. You all think what can be was a very special with a very special thing waiting the whole time. Then with Shabas that night was so the other spot we were very much let down. This is the whole were waiting a half year from we were standing and waiting for the bank tonight around before 10:30 came down to 25 and a little bit before 10:30 to then it came down to that was white like the ghost I'm going to say like the story of that was white he was not that white sick white but was very white very pale and we never saw how serious the reb was this mar the time of the reb it's known the famous letter the priv So, so the ask for the wife and the children so it's like give me a pan so seriously came with me. She said thank very serious serious didn't burden I don't see such a thing we didn't see him I'll come on him fine Sunday night we were playing with y and bet but we start to finish early 11:30 so we were going home from bet home let's go on you go you you don't go home straight al you go straight to sand walk are running around nuts what's going on the is going to rain in 2 minutes was empty 11:30 12 at night had a dinner of that day [clears throat] and said him when comes back so there was a big and there was dancing and singing was going on then said just like He says every should give $200. But that learn give $20. Only people that work should give $200. Everybody should give $150. Everyone get $150 m the one they gave already. What they didn't do in Americ now people bring all over them all over. >> Yeah. And then a little bit later he said the recorded he say the most that money left over in his pocket but why you have your pockets for today tomorrow is another day and he said everybody had envelope empty out all his pockets with pants said she give man all over everybody empty their pockets But it's easy. A money enter your pocket. You have no money. Today people have the bank and they have insurance. This insurance that insurance they [clears throat] still have money, >> right? >> But so everybody should empty out their pockets. They give them next just borrow $300. Everybody gave away everybody empty out their pocket. So he had a lot of money that came from dinner. He want to pay to people. No one want to take from him. Everything you have you have to empty out. And then the other said somebody is thinking that this is it shouldn't be a I heard story later. I don't know if it's true. No, there's a guy that works on this little bit from Parkway. What's his name again? His father's live in Florida. What's his name? Uh he works in the the money department. >> Huh? >> He wouldn't tell about it. He had a whole story years before he had an accident and he got killed by child of his. Then another was dying and a big mess. He got saved. My mother was not and he he he works in jewelry. He owed his $30,000 for jewelry. He came that night on Sunday. They met there and he paid him up the $30,000. He was there is a knife. Let me hear what's going on here. He heard the reb $30,000. Want to see what he's going to do. >> Mhm. So he kept his putting hand in his pocket going back and forth. He was watching. He went to see what did he not. They say this what the could be meant. He start singing all of a sudden in it shouldn't be a door in you should do what you have to do. They said he gave the whole money they put put into a manila envelope. >> You should put $30,000. >> Yeah. It wasn't his money. The money he has to pay for jewelry. It's not money. It's his profit. Why? And that saying there was a special was those days. So because it's and we spoke to the first sing and then they made the push push in the hallway before you go upstairs. That was called [clears throat] this was a pushka to put a lot of money there to print the mid everything. So this was the the famous pushka.

Yeah. But from a lot of the things you heard from like this had to come the story like this and story like that and he heard that under pressure not happy that not counting the whole situation he couldn't believe it who nothing but come doesn't come in the hallway is it true that Shazar coming. He said, "Yes." I said, "I want to go into the >> This is the whole thing when when the Shazar's people pressure was able to go into whenever he wanted to. Media next day went know who who they are. this whole group of people but I said yeah it's not because of me because of some deeno it's not come to me it doesn't come to me that I have to come here the bank's here to the rabbi send me to him I'll bring to you make me to send them three people to I think yale what maybe and said the story they came into Shaza.
