Thanksgiving June yeah
[Applause]
we celebrate Thanksgiving every day
that's that's our job as Jews that's her
job
the rest of the country can celebrate
Thanksgiving once a year is juice
because we got to give things every day
because being Jewish that's what it
means if you look Jewish comes from your
hood up your hoody wear your hoody will
come from your Buddha Yehuda comes from
lay our mother Leia and later in percent
you would her because she was giving
thanks to our chef so we have to give
thanks men to be grateful as Jews it's a
number one thing we got to do we got to
give thanks that Shama constantly for
all the breakfast that Gibson so if
you're gonna help me you can all give
thanks we say you guys say give thanks
give hang
so I'm going to tell you a beginning of
each line of the persons you're gonna
say you thanks and I'll see what we're
giving thanks for something there's so
much hungry food for today I cannot ask
for more I have my heart my soul my
strength is life is blessed so I give
thanks give thanks to the universal one
or the morning stars and Sun for the
earth on which we live
for the bounty she can give for the tree
in the food it grows for the cup it
overflows for the food drinking and
there's more than enough to share for
the extra we can spare for the clothes
we have to wear for the comfort of our
beds for the roof above our head there's
so much I'm grateful for today I cannot
ask for more I have my heart my soul my
strangest life is meso wagon and it
plants to the only source of all for the
bringing forth smart from the lows to
the highest Heights head back for the
dark and for the night back for the
times of joy and song for the pain that
keeps us strong because we're still the
line back this moment has arrived that
our path has brought us here we lived
another heat for the past we left behind
for the future we will find there's so
much I'm beautiful boy today I cannot
ask for more I have my
my soul my strength is life is blessed
so why did that give thanks to the
infant if most happy no matter how or
why in every time and place that we're
part of the human race for the people
that we meet for the neighbors on our
street
for the teachers that we had for every
mom and dad for the family that we got
for the friends we like a lot for the
ones we almost feel that those we love
are here there's so much I'm grateful
for today I cannot ask for more I had my
heart my soul my strength this life is
blessed so why
[Applause]
you know it's funny we really didn't
listen that song you see we owe so much
to be grateful for constantly night REM
is showering brushes on us all the time
and I can't speak for you but I know for
myself I spend like 50% of my time
complaining and whining and being grumpy
it's really it's crazy right why is it
that we spend so much time being
depressed and being sad and grumpy when
if you really if we really look deeply
and took in accounting we would see that
the vast vast majority of our lives is
just is just brushes that showing
bestowing on us and even the things that
don't don't look like pumpkins are just
they're just blessings in disguise
so what is it but why why can't we be
grateful why do we have to spend so much
time whining and complaining and I think
the truth is that the problem is a week
we aren't we aren't being presently we
aren't living in the moment maybe there
was one moment in our past that was very
painful and so we relive it constantly
relive that trauma and it's with us
always and instead of being grateful for
the breakfast we have when she's born
we're just reliving this past trauma or
on the flip side maybe we're getting
xiety with we have worried about some
future as madmen it may not even ever
and and because we're we're living in
the past and worried
teacher we can't appreciate the blessing
session is giving to us all the time so
I wanna I want to try to bring us here
to the moment president get as president
so that we can we can be truly grateful
so this song's called beat here now you
guys all have to say is beat in half
except beep and you can say it too
I just be here now truly the best thing
to do is just be here not just be here
there's no other place to go or soul

let's be and there's no better place to
be so let's be here now there's no time
to delay let's enjoy our existence in
the place we are today let's just enjoy
our existence in a place we are today I
don't need a degree in philosophy to see
I exist in this reality who knows what
was or what shall be but I am that I am
and that's just me you are - as I'm sure
you'll agree put us together for we are
we
he is him and she is her and they are
as they always work some say that way
back in the Garden of Eden but what the
original sin we was spiritual entities
with no skin concealing our holy soul
within someday maybe we'll return again

worrying about what may have been to
just be here now you can say it so I

place to be so let's be clear now
there's no time to play let's enjoy our
existence in the place we are today
let's just enjoy our existence in the
place we are today well here is the
place that we always are and we over
there may seem very far but when we
arrive it becomes quite clear what we
thought was there is really right here
wherever you're going a journey for the
to the east or west or the south of the
north to the sky above the to the depths
below here is the only place you can go
some sailors sail the oceans wide some
pioneers across the Great Divide
and praying that God would provide some
greener grass on the other side but
escaping here no man can achieve because
once you're here you could never leave
even since we don't have a choice in any
case let's race right here as our
favorite place and just be in it now you
can say it so I just beat you now a

place we are today Nia I don't need a
watch
cuz the time is now I can't live in the
past no way nohow even with the machine
that could travel through time the
present is all that you'll never find as
today is the date of the month of the
year of the century in which we exist
here the past is over and it's quite
clear the future is empty there's
nothing to fear eventually I made run
out of gas and my body will turn into a
rotten mass
eaten by maggots grown over by grass my
bags will be called the ancient past can
I bet my most distant descendants will
call that future time the present so
I'll be long gone but it won't be wrong
for them to say the love when they play
my song saying Big Ear now you can say
it too

thing to do is just be here now I'll
follow in the flow let's beat him now

seventh day the seventh day we we have
this thing on that six days we work and
the seventh day we you just be the best
but seven is so it's so prevalent in the
Torah I decided I want to write a song
about about the number seven and I
didn't realize how many 7s there are in
the Torres life until I wrote this song
it's like guys in the seventh month is
when the year begins in seven one three
its own four cents in the holy of holies
the high priests whip seven drips of
blood from his fingertips in seventh
month sound the shofar blasts after
seven seven year cycles are passed
throughout the land we declare Jubilee
every debt is forgiven every slate go
screech in the seven-year itch shabbat
for the land in the seventh year we live
in a knife and no one reads and no one
sews and any man of peace can just see
what rules there's barley and wheat and
digs and dates and pomegranates and
olives and grapes the seven species of
the Holy Land growing as abundant as the
beach and sand seven brothers all seven
nations of the celebration of a wedding
when demanding life begin to have
relations but very registration there's
no cohabitation to keep a seven-day
period a separation uncircumcised the
first seven days before sits shipping
now seven days when we want to fill it
wrap seven straps around the horn when
we pray every morning of the week except
the seventh day and love me 12 in the
sub cassette the days of Sukkot said the
days of paid sauce we eat matzah
count seven times seven days tell Shiloh
that we're finding our souls with the
seven-speed row we go through to ferret
out who gets old has said the who read
that sock and hold it when I
but after seven weeks were ready to
receive the words God speaks on the
seventh day rise up to the total robbery
107 on behalf one of our shopper rich
chief Barak Elohim the first line in
Torah is the seven worried murmurs God
created the earth thing the heavens work
six days and was not on the seventh so -
seven thank you is the day of rest them
that God blessed with holiness he made a
diamond challah and she was the mother
of kind in heaven who was killed by his
brother but God didn't punish trying
seven generations so violence and
robbery spread through creation - God
sent to know in seven days the wonders
of the blood will be injuries get seven
other people and bring at least seven
pairs of each culture Burton B's so no
one got 797 female each green creature
on our set sail until the seventh month
when the world is brought in the ark
came to rest on the mountaintop
let the Brethren five seven days went by
sanded up she came back because nothing
was dry
waited seven days at the end of the week
sent the Dove she returned our grand
chief he still wasn't sure so we waited
seven boys had to know but she didn't
come back like before because the flood
was over but know what God showed a sign
in the cloud seven coloring both any age
seven Noahide laws to be done by the
seventy nations who come from Noah's son
but there was evil in disseminations a
canard so he swore he would give their
land to Abraham who lived in the beer
sheva that's the wellspring where he
gave seven sheep to the Philistine camp
and sorrow was the name of his beautiful
wife 127 for the years of my seven
generations from Abraham to Moses I'll
keep the story short most everybody
knows yes Hawk was the son of mine
behind gets
the guy's got golden ran to around for
seven years got over like hell for
example of on trying to marry Rockville
but the night where they got tricked
instead woke up and found Layla was
laying in his bed seven kids paint
bootleggers that's true he got called

seven days another wedding was on but he
had to work seven more years with LaVon
and when his son Joseph was just 17 got
stoked as his lay down a Ryan he
was sitting in prison when Pharaoh had a
dream nobody knew what it could mean he
dreamt 7 pounds all healthy and fat
emerge from the river and behold after
that became 7 house looking ugly and
Kirsten the second 787 count that the
first any trends 7 years of grain off
stood on a single stock they were fully
good within who seventh in years
withered by the wind verse 7 got
swallowed by the seventh and Yosef said
Paro you dream about the graining you
dream about the cows one of the same to
me it's leave that the seven full years
in the seven fat cows are seven good
years seven years and the seven cows
that will lean are seven bad years and
the meaning of your dream is that seven
years of plenty we'll come and get
swallowed by seven years of famine that
immediately follow so Pharaoh repaid
yoke says husain Egypt by making our
family into slaves for his wise men told
him they saw in the Stars the most sure
