hey sammy it was really nice to speak to you yesterday i want to wish you a mazel tov again on your up sharon and i want to say a little torah that has to do with your name and also tell you a little bit about myself which i think is a little bit similar to you my bubby my grandmother so she always used to tell me i used to visit her almost every week she passed away a number of years ago but i used to visit her every week for a few years and she would always tell me how she was born after her parents had been unable to have kids for almost 10 years or for over 10 years actually and she had one sister who was also born right after she was and she was very close with that sister but she knew and her sister knew that they were very special kids because they were precious because their parents had waited so long and i want to say that the same thing is true for you and i don't think that it's a coincidence that your name is shmuel sammy because shmuel also was a navi he was a prophet of kali israel he was the one who found david and he also his parents waited for a long time to have she's but when shmuel was about your age when he was about three his mother hannah who had dab in so long to be able to have a child brought him to the base of mikdash where he was going to be dedicated to be able to just be involved in the ray torah learning the torah and coming close to hashem and that's what he does for his entire life and i want to bless you you are born in a very special time between yom kippur and sukkos between kipper and sukis is a time when we're all getting ready for sukkos we're buying our lulav and our s-rogue we're building our sukkah and we're excited because hashem just forgave us and we're excited because we're going to get to sit in that sukkah for the whole week and shake the lulu of an s rogue and so the fact that you were born in this time means that you have a special mission in your life your mission is to be someone who is always concerned always cares about learning torah and about doing mitzvos and when we sing songs the songs that we sing always have to do with hashem always have to do with what we can do to be better people how we can do the mitzvos of hashem how we can make sure to have a good day whether it's a song like today is going to be a good day or whether it's a song like yeshua i have everything that i need all of the songs that you're going to sing and all the songs that are going to be some in your family are going to be about who you are your name is sami your name is shmuel your name is yaakov her name is kaim yakov these names all have to do with what it means to be somebody who has a real life who really is somebody who is lent by hashem takana so that he she would be able to give him back to the basement to be able to to be focused in his life on torah and mitzvos and that's who you are sammy that's who you're going to be somebody whose focus is on making other people happy a very smart kid understand all the things that your teachers teach you and hashem is going to help you then you should also use those three names khayyim shmuel and yaakov yaakov was somebody also who his whole life he was worried about coming close to hashem his whole life was creating the shivat in the 12 tribes and so his whole life was about mitzvos and kindness and that's who you are and hashem should bless you that you and your parents together and your sibling would you should be you should be able to continue to study and learn all the important things that there are to learn about yiddish guide should be able to continue to sing all the wonderful songs that inspire you to become a great great person mazel tov
