Hillen from Brooklyn shalum Rabbi how are you shalam Alum how are you thank you for joining us we're going to be speaking about the M of BMG Lakewood before we do that a little background about yourself thank you so much for inviting me actually the name kak goes so well with the Torah you know when we finish reading the Torah we don't say ma we say you got to hang in and be strong you know we want to finish so I love the name kazak thank you so much for bringing me here it's my first time here and it's a honor for me and a to be with kak and we give a that everyone should be strong strong in learning so so so the rabbi is involved with Queens through yes yes yes but before that a little bit okay so let's talk a little bit before we'll start um I guess after my Mitzvah start from there um I became a Mitzvah in high school and I started in a Yesa um called MIM it was a Yesa ran Byer and actually theay was that ral's son he he was my sh and he he was the one that was involved in making my I started by RAB paa and then I went to a very very special Yesa B bamin that was the stord Yeshiva run by rabie htz and rabie dhm and rabie schust the father of all theas and um it was a tremendous experience that I had over there in the Yeshiva I learned so much from this is so that's a little bit about my history and then I went to Isel and is I spent my b as manam in the Yesa Mir Yesa of course um and during the man I was in brisk Yesa I learned so much from ER from the Brisco yiva EMS and Lumis and Sh Tyra just amazing I could talk about our whole day yeah R what could I how did you uh get to know the m so the M I got to know actually before I met met him in person I met him in through his tapes he was a m in Gat and he gave unbelievable talks every Shabbat for my b as manim I bought a whole box of Torah tapes I'm sure the tapes weren't recorded on chabbat just for the record yeah so during my I used to listen to all the Mas talks you know that he spoke and Gat said and it was so amazing how he went through a par and he was able to pull out every mus hos that needed to be ped pulled out from A Pas from a Rashi from aaz the Mas was a master he would pull out things that no one would think of he would read a Rashi a and he would pull out such unbelievable just something quick that comes to my mind what I always remember the Mas saying is don't stay a 5-year-old in the Kish relearn the Kish constantly relearn the Kish don't stay with the the the alive Bay how you rebi told you alive Bay bous no redo it they say the g on from Villa he found everything everything he was able to find in the Kish give her respect for the Kish learn it the way Alon learns if you're Alden go go for it you know always like renew yourself it's a big renew renew you always have to renew always exactly that's how the lived his life he was always he never looked at anything the way he looked at it yesterday always with a new look I I think from all the Sho that I heard from him I don't remember one time a repeat from what he said from before it was always with a new a new mus a new way how to connect a new a new level in the PK a new Madre a new understanding and that that's something very important that I remember from the m so it started with the tapes it started with the with the listening started with the listening and then um I used to see sometimes Mash by weddings um you know my my uncle like I mentioned before APO when he made a wedding I remember M I went over to him that was I think my first time going over to him and I I asked him I remember the question still I was I was bothered by Torah I wanted him to explain to me why Torah has a different than all the other and I we had a big talk but I remember that during the talk he brought me into a special room and he was holding my hand for 10 minutes and I was thinking why is he holding my hand I'm talking to him about TMA later on I instead when talks he's not just talking to my brain he's also talking to my holding my hand for 10 minutes straight explaining to me the concepts of T and the uniqueness so that was one of the first times I remember you know I had a with there were other times also when he used to come in um to benur on his weekly um you know visit so sometimes when I went up to him and SCH I would walk him back from the SCH to his house and I got to speak to him then as well unbelievable every step of the mash was like a a step in like I felt like I'm going TOA with these steps he's like walking like you felt like you're walking straight to mashia with not M you felt like you're walking to mashia with him Mash just remove remove the just remove the gim exactly and I still remember how he told me in the house of his son-in-law RAB puski he was telling me about the dream that he had that the came to him in a dream and he said you know if you stay in Lakewood we're going to we going to um we're going to greet mhia together I still remember that that dream that he spoke about it was it was in my heart for the last I think 15 16 years since he told me the dream I was like I didn't stop thinking about that and still happen and the family also there's uh you you you you learned with different family members and got another yes so one of the son-in-laws Rin which was very very close to he was my for many years I learned so much from him and he became the Mash's son-in-law very very very special special special R RAB Hoin and RAB Harin was the one that was in the Mash's house for the last 15 years he cared for the Mash's Health he cared for the Mash's family he cared for his the Torah of the Mas he helped them write up all thees and that's also another way I have a lot of he brought me into's house and he was R I should be able to learn with his family members and then from there on I have a big by the way this is one of my big if you want to be close to someone learn with a family members you'll get so close and if you want to get close to Hashem how do you get close to hashm same way just learn with hashem's kids you'll get so close to them a quick story I just comes to mind I was trying to get inter uple done SE done and um someone said to me you know his son is looking for I said sure I want to learn the K start learn the Kusa I had rle next to me every 10 minutes how's it going what are we learning what's the what's the gar he's asking questions where are we going what you want to be close take hashem's children and you'll become very close to Hashem so I got extremely close once I started learning with Mash's family and um always used to bless me bless my family I Remember by my son's Mitzvah he spent 5 10 minutes with me and my son giving big and that was the Mas he was there for every person he was there to give blessings he was there to be benched with this whole heart he didn't just give braa he gave braa with his entire heart if if there would be one thing that stings that sticks out of the m one thing that comes out to comes to mind what would it be the's love for every single year the loved every single year I just tell you when we went 5 years ago this is by the way we have a video and this is on video five years ago ago with the boys from Shion we went to the Mash's house and we sang to the mash some of thei songs you could see how the M's love for the boys was just pouring out he wasn't feeling so well he was in a wheelchair and his love was just like emanating was just coming out of the mas and this it it was a love in like a clra love the way he loved every single Tira in a special unique way and also the way he loved every every single y every single y every girl every boy even people who weren't doing what they were supposed to be doing he had tremendous Ava and he would get down to the level which is a tremendous godl on someone on that height and someone who was thinking the whole day in Torah and high K in Torah and the lake with Yesa on the highest level of Torah but at the same time he would get down to every child and talk his language from a three-year-old a four four-year-old a 5-year-old a six-year-old on the d off the D whatever you call the you know on the risk it didn't make a difference the M was there completely he like went into the other person's World let me tell you something a father once told me 3:00 in the morning I was by to M last night with my daughter I'm like what 3 o00 in the morning you go to m I know like what do you mean he's like very very simple everyone knows if you have issues especially when it comes to shalam and things like that you just buzz special buzzer the and you just walk into this house 3:00 in the morning wow wow that's love that he had for clel he carried every Yas Mas himself is a Yas by the way and that's another very big thing to learn about he was an orphan it's a very very you know orphan sometimes you could take it the wrong way and some you could become a NE or you could become like the Mas pick your up and become the father of every single child in the world the Mas carried every y any case that he knew about he carried the case he carried the case he carried the finances he carried the family he was there by the weddings he would go in for the Shiva he would do whatever he could to be with the family yes there stories of the M that of last memory that he would help homework with with orphans uh he once knocked on a door of an and she's like whoa what's she's like he the said that it's time for bedtime uh you know uh uh we're going to help whatever it is and uh no this he's like well you don't think I know how to put kids to sleep and and the the just stories are just amount of stories that I've been hearing and being told is just unbelievable and you told me you felt like everybody felt like he was not like a m like like a friend like like very close to to one another which is which is a big guch is unbelievable rabie Helman uh could you tell us maybe uh your last encounter contact last time you in touch with the m I just want to comment one one more thing before we get to the last encounter how the M's connection was unbelievable one of the big things that I feel in today's generation what what you know what we could think about is connection theber that a rebi with his tal theber the connection the connection of a father with a son the connection of grandfather and grandchildren the connection rabim the connection with ranam the mash had an unbelievable connection with every single person who he's with every single tal you could speak to them you'll see how they feel they felt so connected with and that connection could carry a person through his life could carry a person through any T when you have a connection with a when you have a connection when you have a connection with a with a with a with a the M came into Lakewood you know the first he said on Lakewood he said I'm coming here to connect to the to be a he came in a but he left the M he became the king of the whole like DAV he he was like a king he he controlled he you know it was unbelievable but he started he cares for everyone he cared for every single person's gash and yeah and we asking about the last encounter so this unbelievable ashk how this happened Tuesday two weeks ago we took the boys from Shion some of the boys MIM and and even maybe a little less and we believe in these boys we believe in in in in the M Community we believe in every single Un and we feel that every boy has a connect to T we brought the boys into B to learn actually in the B Med for over an hour to two hours not just to hear speeches but actually to sit learning sagging and feel like they're part of it and you know in the beginning they're like so scared like I could learn in L with Yeshiva but then when they started learning they they they actually felt yes I could learn in like with Yesa and they were learning and it happened and they learned there and the RAB there's many of the buar community that and the B Community came to be malas and they came and um Rabbi M came with us and Rabbi Yos Mash was with us and Rabbi was with us and there were many bukharians very special really special y lights with there and they learned with the boys and other yits learn with the boys in B yes in the big goish I think was donated by herzka and it was beautiful and they I said to them do you feel bored bored well I want to learn more I want to stay here forever they felt so good a thought came to my mind while we were eating breakfast and it was let's go to but you know what the way the thought went was let's not ask to go let's ask to go to to pray for the let's go there and let's to give their and as I called RAB ho and I said Rabbi do you think we could go there the son-in-law I said do you think we could go there so the last couple years he's like he doesn't think it's a good idea the m is not feeling well it's not a good idea this year as I called him he's like yeah come over I told the boys we're finishing this meal this breakfast as sap we're making zimon we're running to the m we run out of the building and I get a call from RAB Halper wait I'm like rebby it's too late already we're inside the house it's already we were in the M's house and we started singing the song that we sang to him five years ago beautiful song that spoke to us about for 10 minutes last time we were there and then we started singing you know what happened when sung to M his hands went up in the air he picked up his hands I think the MH was in a coma or something like that he he didn't look like he's here but his hands he picked up the hands the aid actually when he saw that he started taking a video when he saw what was going on he he videoed this and the Mas hands went up and his face started shining it was an unbelievable experience then after we sing I asked permission if I could whisper something in Mash's ears I said Mash you promised us mashia MH please bring it already make it make it happen we need mashia we need it so badly the heard this they started dancing around the kids from W and they were dancing around his bed and they started dancing and then we made a and we said and we prayed and this is unbelievable and then I heard the terrible that he took away thees from us that the mash went back to its creator that day that day two hours later wow two hours later and the son inlaw RAB he goes do you have any idea do the boys understand what happened do they understand that they were the last boys to visit the Mas did they understand that after the boys left the mash was crying tears were coming out of his eyes and the the the tears that to be wiped off his face the mash wasn't conscious but tears were coming out of his he felt the Kad he felt the the he felt what the the the what we were asking from him the will do it he's going to make it happen I heard thaton Cutler Shiva zal from Lakewood I heard that after his P he went to sh and he said this is what I heard from the IM he said that was standing by the kak cover and he was saying I was here in this world for now hasem I want want you to make the T become um I want you to make the become I want the T to come out I want I want I want America to change I want to be real and look what happened look what kind of there was 200

we see you know this is the main song sing by wedding it's a sad song but you know we sing it with with niggan because we're we're we believe in it that was the Mash's message for Life believe believe

and uh and we should continue the the M Legacy a mean and uh we have a Minag final message one thought one idea a takeaway that that the audience the broad audience could could get from the rabbi yeah
