good evening everybody Welcome to our
light to unite program which we launched

focusing on the unification of American
Jewelry the adjective is birs RO hasm on
Sunday September 29th here in New York
and around the world we will start
lighting candles we hope to have at
least 1 million plus Jewish people light
a yard site memorial candle for all the
Jewish brothers and sisters who perished
in the October 7th Massacre and over the
past year as well as all who have
perished in the Holocaust and during
other persecutions of the Jewish people
since the existence of the Jewish people
over 2,000 3,000 years ago
to start with my name is tuvia Sosi I
was born raised and educated in
Philadelphia as a secular non-observant
Jew and over the last 15 years I became
an observant Jew I grew up being an
American Jew now I'm a proud Jewish
American big difference big
difference so my story is long so I'm
gonna keep this very short with the
introduction because I really want our
guests to be the ones to speak tonight
so it gives me great pleasure to welcome
duie honig who I met many years ago who
is the founder and coo Co CEO of the
Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce
headquartered in both Lakewood New
Jersey and on Wall Street um duvie has
done amazing work and continues to do
amazing work in just bringing the world
together to have peaceful existence
through business and commerce not so
much about politics although we work you
know a lot with politicians and
governments and presidents of countries
um but I'll let doy tell us a little bit
more about that so doy please take it
away toia thank you for um for this
vision and for cheering this this this
leadership of uniting the Jews you know
all all sectors musl thank you for your
leadership from within our organization
ofas promoting from the Torah aspect of
the business World Outreach but also for
reaching out um beyond the Jewish
Community we do every day and speak on
behalf of of giving you know
inspirational um messaging that we're
here today to share as a whole as a
group and thank you kazak for hosting
and all all this partnership is not a
new partnership it's a partnership that
we always work together on proud to
share this together today having said
that um when we started the orthodo
Jewish Chamber of Commerce um during the
recession in 2008 um our mission and our
goal was to create a community to unite
the Jewish Nation religious
non-religious um through Commerce and
using Commerce as something that puts
division aside and and unites people
through Commerce regardless of whether
the conservative reformed Orthodox
modern Orthodox and or different sectors
is or or or different countries or
different languages and and breaking all
these barriers by bringing them together
through Commerce and empowering them all
to work
together today I could tell you you know
I am so proud of where we're holding
today um and just to mention when we
started this people had a lot of
pressure from our board and from from
our leadership or from outside saying do
just call it the Jewish it'll be much
more
inclusive why call it the Le Chamber of
Commerce and I said no no no no no I'm
sorry we have values and the number one
thing is that people have to know that
our chamber carries values yes we're
here to unite people but we are not here
to budge and that strength brought us so
much further and respect from everyone
why first of all we advocated in Israel
we stopped the bills they G to have H
shabas hubs and in we held a session and
we stopped the from happening because I
brought a delegation including my kab
and different people on leadership of
different Christian Jewish groups who
are supportive of Israel and I told
Israel in the Kess I said if you're it's
it's a week after
kanuk and you have minorities all over
the place you just voted on khaka in the
knesset to pass a law that if someone
can come to work on Shabbat they be able
to be fired I said
how your noers over here reflect that we
won the
war we W fighting
for and now in your with you trying to
say that we don't respect who we are we
want we want to do exactly what what
what what wanted to do that they wanted
to take away shabas from us and punish
people in the state of Israel
that if they don't come to work in
shabas they would lose their jobs and I
said if you don't respect yourself how
can you have the world respect you and
that's what the Orthodox je mamus is
today we are proud of our heritage we
are proud of of the religion and the
connection to God to Hashem and and by
anyone listening to this whether you're
religious or not and many of you
interacted with me from all different
sectors conservative reform you know
briefs we filed in Supreme Court Justice
um we were involved to protect you know
Jews where have to go they have to leave
early for shabas we law we were on those
briefs we we fought on behalf of
creating Economic Development Solutions
um from the Department of Labor uh to
change what grants are given to
communities churches and synagogues and
small communities 30% of those grants
have to go to community places that we
used our relationships to Advocate on
behalf on Federal and State levels not
just for our community but for everyone
as a whole reaching outwards showing the
strength of our minority position saying
it's not just about me it's about all of
us together and that makes us stronger
that that identity makes us who we are
that gives us respect I just had a piece
written that was posted on the Sunday
paper in Jerusalem post um you know a
few months ago after October 7th and and
you know the Jerusalem Post you know the
the upad from the print you know they a
little more to the left let's say and
they embraced it and printed it they
were so excited because when I called I
was as follows I said listen Israel you
have the world standing up against you
the first few weeks everyone's
passionate but yeah terrorism and this
but people aren't educated and they
forget and they see so much social media
out there and things they get confused I
said the fact is the only thing that's
going to unite us and get the
governments to stand behind us is the
first thing is we have to respect
ourselves we have to be proud of our
heritage we have to be proud of being a
Jew we forget about Orthodoxy we have to
be proud of identity because if we're
not if we don't respect who we are the
world's not going to respect us um and
and I pointed out I I work like right
now I'm going into meeting um the India
signed the mou with us memorandum of
understanding that you sign with
governments to trade India is today
surpass the population of China and
they're coming to off that why to build
relationships to overtake China why
because today we sit on World Trade leue
we hosted World Trade League what's on
behalf the whole United States of
America represent reflecting on every
every government trade economy in the
United States what's the biggest economy
in the world
and that's because of the broad
relationships think of us as a that we
have whereever it is a Jewish Community
we are establishing networks to empower
people and bring communities together
and we just you know I'm proud to now to
just appointed R Penny Dunner um to be
our chair in Beverly Hills in the west
coast September 16th doing an event
there we're bringing the Jews together
from Ocean count Orange County
non-religious Beverly Hills Jews you
know West Coast Jews
no not nothing related to to what sector
of religion they are but bringing our
community stronger together and showing
when we strengthen ourselves through
commas we are stronger thank you Duvy
that was
amazing and uh now we're very happy to
welcome our dear Rabbi and dear friend
uh Rabbi milstein who I met when I first
moved to Bri Brooklyn 12 years ago and
he was doing a project Inspire event and
that was the first time I met you the
first time I spoke with you and I got to
spend many time times with you in
Lakewood and speaking with you in other
times so uh always appreciate you and
I'm so glad that you actually were
requested by duie kig to be the rabbi
for us tonight so what we're doing on
these podcasts we'll have four all
together before our event is to bring a
prominent leading Rabbi and a prominent
us Jewish businessman to come and and
really inspire all of us and to
accelerate the bring together so that we
have at least a million plus Jews
Lighting on September 29th so duie thank
you so much robbi milston please take it
away and when we're done the three of us
will have a conversation and really
address some of the issues we're facing
with right now in America thank you bar
we have D honig here uh a man for all
seasons someone who's who's never uh
looking for words he's got the words
right there you know and but the truth
is that the work that he does to promote
Jewish Unity is incredible and he asked
me a little while back to help out with
something and I was very privileged to
help out and and in the end uh it not
only I didn't I wasn't doing him a favor
he did me a favor but asking him to help
him out because ultimately what happened
was that some of the talks that I gave
them you know they spread out and before
I know if people come over to me that
think I'm an expert in the field that I
spoke about which was Jewish bus
business practices and people think I'm
an expert on it I'm really not I just
prepared a couple of you know talks for
Dy before I know it like the world's
coming to me I want to make a point
every every single Jew has greatness in
him God did not create any duplicates
when it comes to Jewish people nober
used to say every Jew is a genius he
just has to discover where and what and
how but everybody has geniusism every
Jew has greatness in him we were we are
the chosen people we're not chosen God
tells in the Torah because we're better
looking we're not which we might be but
we're not better looking not because
we're smarter you know the Asians are
just about as smart as we are that's the
truth if you look if you sit down and
measure IQ the Asians are very very
smart they really really are you know
and the Chinese have to copy everything
for America it doesn't get done at all
you know and here we are you know we
have the majority of the Nobel prizes
and it's like it's incredible with this
tiny little people right but what does
it mean it means we have greatness in us
for a reason because when the chips are
down you need a great person to have the
Breakthrough solution to make it happen
when the chips are down you need a duon
because the Jewish people were suffering
you know especially the Orthodox Jewish
Community when it came to the downturn a
business a number of years ago I
attended several of his uh his programs
you know the truth is you need a great
person to step up everyone else is
ringing their hands and dby comes along
and he creates a solution and he creates
a bridge for people to be able to do
business with each other before you know
it Jews have prosa it's incredible what
he's done and then how he has
bootstrapped that into this major
National Organization where he's a force
to be reckoned with in Washington this
incredible but I want to make a point
and I think duby will more than anybody
agree with this point every Jew has
genius every Jew has greatness every
Jew's potential it's just unrealized
it's unrealized and we need to turn to
our spiritual selves to unlock it if
we're living daily lives if the only
thing we worry about is what brand of
beer to bring to the tailgate party
we're not going to be great if we're
worried about you know how exactly to
decorate our inground swimming pool in
the house that doesn't make us great but
if we think about what is a another Jew
need that makes us great as I was saying
before people saidie you know take away
the name Orthodox just be Jewish chamber
you'll be so much more inclusive and I
said no no no I said we are proud of who
we are we are proud of our heritage when
the world sees we're proud of it they
respect us and that's what's lacking the
big challenge today when you're proud of
who you are you have ownership you have
a right to speak on behalf of your
values and the world listens but indust
Jus post um article um I pointed out and
I said that when's the last time you've
seen a a Jewish Council General from
Israel wearing a k when's the last time
you saw them being sensitive not to do
something on Shabbat when's the last
time you saw anyone representing the
state of Israel in any format throughout
any Council General throughout the world
wearing a keep wearing toit or being a
proud Jew and by you resenting who you
are and not being proud of your identity
you just put yourself in a position as
the unog like why should why should we
respect or care about who and what you
are if you don't respect that and you're
embarrassed about yourself so we have to
bring the element of of what Pride
really means being a proud Jew now I
want to tell you I spoke we work with
the Russian community
who doesn't know much in Brighton Beach
who represent all of them and I spoken
by those events I host we enow them and
they asked me by 100 days uh by the 100
day uh of of the hostages to speak in
the win and the freezing cold outdoors
and I joined them to speak on behalf of
Israel the hostages are calling on the
president and the administration to to
call to free the American hostages
specifically forget about getting
involved in politics we have American
host M and to speak up against it now I
want to tell you there were 100 to 150
Jews who knew nothing about Judaism
nothing about Shabbat nothing they
probably know sh isra but they got
together
standing in the freezing cold screaming
and crying as proud Jews and I got up
there and I spoke and I told them I want
to tell you guys I speak in front of
offda community we represent and I
spoken in front of thousands and
thousands of Orthodox communities as we
chill because we helped these
communities because we have networks I
cheered the betal dinner when David
fredman stepped down as Ambassador and
we helped him get his position I
Che we helped we helped every section we
cheered at ter din we helped these
organizations every sector and all Al
but also also the Zionist organizations
who are pro Israel when they stand up to
fight on behalf of Israel we help them
and we work with them and we and we
support
them but the fact is the fact is that
these people don't know much about
Judaism at all but they're proud Jews
and I said you know what I respect and I
am more passionate and more appreciative
and more touched to stand with all you
Jews in Brighton Beach who are just
standing together saying we stand with
Israel we
Calles we are proud Jews without that
is this
is told them this is how the Jews
accepted the Torah you don't know much I
said I'm not better than you I thank God
were privileged my grandparents came
after the
Holocaust to to America and they had
Yesa on me too and I had education God
forbid I wouldn't have an education you
came out of an iron curtain you didn't
have those networks you didn't have the
education I have but you're still
getting up here saying we are proud Jews
and this and we are being persecuted
over here our FL every day the hostage
signs are being ripped down in Brighton
Beach and we are going and putting it up
our Israeli flags are being pulled down
every day from where we put it and we're
sing it that is what they know
about but they have they are more
important to hasem than most of the
percentage of the Jews who go through
the system who just do it systematically
because this is what Jews are about by
evaluating a Jew by saying I he keeps
Shabbat he doesn't keep Shabbat he he's
more religious he's not that religious
that is not the way God Hashem wants us
or judge us that is not what we stand
for it's where we are proud to be and
once that happen we are able to uplift
ourselves to be able to be stronger I
just came back from a hike in Europe and
I saw American Yesa B hiking in the
waters in the mountains you know just
with
that everyone's wearing bathing suit
shorts not t-shirts with that CT and he
said you know what they were so proud
from being Jews they were so proud of
the identity
unconditionally nothing attached to it
no one looking them in the woods they
were proud to where sit because they God
chosen Nation how can I not want to
where sit and be proud as a Jew and
that's what the
says about gave us anyone gets an award
from the queen or n they wear that that
medal and things so if we from Hashem
we shouldn't be proud to to where so he
saw that message in Europe by seeing
plain pure hearted proud Jews and and
that's how people get affected and
people get influenced and people are
united by being proud of being Jewish
thank you thank you duy that was amazing
and uh I'm so happy we reached out to
you to really be a partner with the
light to unite initiative and with all
the resources that you bring maybe we
will break through not to the 20% but
the 80% here in America that are not
observant to show them all the great
things that we're doing on this side and
this is the team that hashem's picked
Unity is strength you heard the story
from RI which is incredible one story
many stories that are incredible that if
we stand up as proud Jews there isn't
anything we cannot do going back all the
way to the times of mosh Renu mosh Renu
is extremely upset that any one is
fighting within the story of Kor the
story of the anytime there's any kind of
dispute
with f of he falls on his face he was
not a weak link he was a strong man why
is he falling on his face because
someone offers a challenge he faced EMP
parro never fell on his face that wasn't
that wasn't a problem suddenly the Jews
are fighting because ultimately Jews
become weak when they are divided we
become weak when we are divided yosua
wins every battle miraculously to
conquer Isel except for one it was a
story with aanan as an individual stole
from The Spoils of battle and he took it
for himself and in the processing
process of identifying he had to be
prosecuted Pro identifying someone spoke
lashara Yeshua who's righteous loses the
battle the next day in a place called I
he loses the battle Yeshua is the
greatest of the great he's the
handpicked successor of mosenu and he
loses the Jews lose because of that on
the other hand the points out point out
akov Ahab the most evil King ever to
rule the Jewish people akov never lost
the battle because despite the fact that
he was an idol worshipper the Jewish
people unified miraculously he won every
battle theought fought on behalf of the
Jewish people if there's a message right
now instead of people faulting other
people in Israel for they're learning
instead of fighting fighting instead of
learning nonsense it's nonsense if we
could get along and stop that division
we win every single battle it's time
tested you can look at over during The
Six Day War there was no fighting among
the Jewish people Six Day War was an
impossible War for Israel they had
prepared hundreds of thousands of body
bags because they knew that the war was
not going to go well for Israel Israel
was not the superpower that it is today
Israel was a little country beled by
tens of millions of not hundreds of
millions of Arabs and all the armies
they attacked simultaneously and Israel
won the war in the first hours of the
war literally wiping out the Egyptian
Air Force and miracles happened it was a
miracle Six Day War was a miracle why
because instead of fighting with each
other we unified we when we unify we
have strength you want to know what the
solution to the problem Israel I dare
you to ask any military strategist what
strategy he has Israel coming out on top
right now with a ring of fire around
them of all those Nations attacking them
with Iran pulling all the strings and
having seven different fronts attacking
Israel you can ask the biggest experts
and some of them are my friends they
tell me they don't see a way out we have
to rely on God well guess what there is
a way out the way out is Unity we in the
United States of America if you light
that candle you think you're just doing
something in your own home you're wrong
when you light that candle you are
making sure that some Israeli soldier
that's out there in the front risk
giving his life his life will be saved
he'll be successful not only will he be
safe but he'll be able to take out a lot
of the bad guys if we light a candle
what we're doing is we are actually
talking about the eternity The Eternity
of the state of Israel when we light a
candle then some fellow in Israel who is
out there risking his life literally
then he he fortunately he'll be able to
come home again and his wife will not be
a widow and his children will not be
orphaned
that's what the candle means and I'm not
saying this in any magical mystical way
this is what the Jewish people is none
other than Boran Bor was not considered
a very Orthodox Jew he said any Jew that
does not believe in miracles is not a
realist we are not a people without
Miracles and what brings about the
Miracles the unity that we have light
that candle light that candle I urge
everybody go out there let's do it
what's it going to cost you to light a
candle candle cost pennies what is it
worth there's anti-semitism all over the
place unprecedented on the campuses in
the streets I was in Brooklyn at chab a
couple every second block that they tore
down the posters of the hostages every
second block they talk about you know
the genocide that the Jews are
committing yes we are genocidal Jews
we're Jews against whom genocide was
committed over and over again for
thousands of years that's why we're
genocidal because we're the victims of
genocide we never performed genocide
anybody in our entire thousands of years
of History never did that to anybody
it's incredible think about it for a
moment and yet they're all against us
what strength do we have to battle it a
lot of people have a lot of good ideas
but you know what the best idea time
proven it's in the Torah itself is Unity
light a candle of unity go ahead be
count be counted among the Jewish people
be counted Among Us create this sense of
unity this one Shas for at least for the
length of that those candles are burning
light a light and illuminate the world
light that one candle like the two
candles going to light and illuminate
the world it's going to change the world
I will tell you there's no downside
and there's only an upside and all you
need to do to know that this is
effective is to turn the pages of the
Bible and you see that itself so we're
not here for any other reason other than
by Miracles there's no way that we get
to last into eternity is like the
Chinese that are billions of people or
je we we don't we don't qualify we're
just a little group of people how are we
still here today it's only through the
Miracles only through the strength of
our Torah the strength of a Unity that's
why we're here invite all the Jews out
there whether or not you keep kosher
whether or not you keep the rest of
whatever you can do whatever you do
please light C light candles early
enough before Sund got to make sure
before sun doesn't count after Sund
doesn't count it's got to be before
Sundown 18 minutes before Sundown if
we've all G to like that candle I
predict great Miracles are going to
happen we're going to see in our day the
bad guys lose the good guys win and
hopefully the Rival of M himself thank
you thank you RAB that was beautiful so
just to enunciate on that so the the
day of Friday September 27th we are
inviting all Jewish women observant
non-observant women to light shabas
candles in North America that's how
we're starting this why because that's
the women's Mitzvah they have three big
Mitzvah that's one of the biggest it's
lighting and then on Sunday that's when
we continue with a full ladies program
why because the ladies have always been
there and much of the success of the
Jews from Sara to Esther has been Miriam
has been the the ladies just like our
forefathers to move forward so lighting
those shabas candles Friday night is
just the start of it and then there'll
be a full program before we do the the
uh main lighting with ladies the best
ladies the most Progressive ladies here
in America Jewish ladies and then we
actually do the actual lighting and the
objective is that we have over a million
Jews lighting together as the rabbi
enunciated know probably enunciate again
so it gets through our thick heads
that's why we win is when we light and
we unite and that's why we're doing all
this um so I'm going to leave it open
now because we're going to have a short
conversation um but any comments that
Rabbi you'd like to make or questions
you like to ask or doie I I would like
to add one thing on the most mentioned
um and of course on your mission to add
you know um the cherry on top of of the
the the pie um to SU suiz with Once
little spe speech that I spoke in shuu
um I have the honor to be part of the
shuu family um my grand my grandparents
are the founders of shuu it started in
their dining room with the PM until
today was just by the Shuba schools
three weeks ago um helping them get you
know new infrastructure through
governmental buildings and of course
through Community inclusion and we also
started in Ukraine I started my oration
we started the first
ever
evacuation um we bought buses and
ambulances to take Jews out of danger
not I'm not talking about evacuating
around the cities the places where they
were shooting and lives in danger to
evacuate them those children came to
Israel and they were going to be put in
non-jewish schools and we helped get
thousands of kids into the sh school
system through kabad calling meally that
they going to be put by one in the
non-jewish stre systems and and and I
made a meeting to RAB Gman and kabad and
that was on Tuesday and by Thursday I
got a picture and videos of hundreds of
girls taking hundreds of kids being able
to being in the je school system saving
their souls but otherwise would have
been lost I want to give a shout out to
Shu for all that work they do and all
the schools they do at the same time I
said one statement to the children when
I went and and I visited the school one
of the schools now um a few weeks ago
and I told him like this the most
beautiful blessing we have prayer we
have and my re told it to me when I was
13 14 in Israel he said
is when we say every you we D we D for
ourselves and we think but over here
we're telling
Hashem that it's not about me I'm
stopping to ask it's about how lucky I
am that you chose
Nations you chose us
Nations you love us cherish us
us and you uplifted Us in all the
languages not just Nations languages
listen to the thing because we have
the and you us you purify us with
the and you brought us into inner circle
of the essence of what keeps the the
whole world going is the learning of
T and and this this is the ultimate
Pride what a Jew has I said you're
sitting here today after being
persecuted in
Russia and and iron curtains and being
disprivileged from learning power and
everything you have the opportunity
today to know what sh is is you have the
opportunity to know what a Jew is you
see how we're being attacked you see how
you persecuted behind the Iron Curtain
there's no bigger beautiful thing to be
proud the being they're saying to hasem
this prayer how lucky we are that hasem
chose us look at the non-jews out there
go look at those rallies I was just now
by a rally over here in the city I work
we work with all the presidents of the
of of all the colleges the people
standing after with the pramas flags
they're drugged up those guys aren't are
read they don't even know their name
these people don't have value the reason
they're protesting is because they don't
have what to do with their lives and
what's about all the UN and all the
nations of the worlds who get up there
and have no values all they I have his
hate we are proud Jews look at the
Miracles what happened with the hundreds
of missiles sent from Iran now one made
it in it's statistically it's impossible
only through a miracle okay that Hashem
killed the president of Iran mid mid
that's whyem did it it
says why did isra become religious
because he saw that God punished the
Egyptians the way they they punish the
Jews by drowning them God drowned them
that shows that Jewish god signature by
them shooting missiles from the sky and
and Hashem taking down that president
from the sky shows that Hashem is
leadership
showing that I'm doing it no one else is
doing and I'm fighting your Wars as it
says you
fight's gonna fight you you be quiet you
Jews you are my children I love you and
the feel the love of hem and I want to
take away from this call to be that
until we go to light the candles every
single one of us should see a challenge
we have and see the solution and
understand that this is coming divine
presence from above and recognize Hashem
within us and once you recognize Hashem
within us that light is going to ignite
in our souls and that light is going to
ignite in us to be able to light and
carry the light on further on behalf of
all these Jews who sacrificed and
murdered kesem thank you so much
Rabbi we we'll take a couple more
minutes you guys are phenomenal and and
uh I'm just loving the whole thing
I'm really appealing now I know there
are a lot of from Jews out there
listening that's like preaching to the
choir not interested I love you and I'm
very interested in your otherwise but
not in this talk I want to speak to our
je our Jewish brothers and sisters who
are not yet committed who may look at us
you know and I've had this all the time
going out there being a public speaker
you know you you come into a room and
they look at you and they say what does
this guy know and then if you speak
English better than they do they stop
for a minute they go wait a second it
may be that he knows what I know I just
don't know what he knows
this is my appeal to you we Orthodox
Jews I know we look strange to you but
it's not because we don't know what
sports is it's not because we don't know
what theater is it's not we have all we
we know all of that but we're preferring
to live lives that are close to God
because that is the most fulfilling
aspect of life we have families that are
successful because when you pay
attention to your spiritual needs then
you know what physically you're going to
do better your fames will turn out
better when you have Jewish values and
you live those Jewish even if you're not
observant yet but find out what the
values are within the life that you lead
and try to follow those things you will
have a better life in the here and the
now someone that I was working with who
decided on his own to become our
observant he was having a very very hard
time and he asked me and he said R you
know why do you do this there's so many
requirements why do you do this and I
turned to him and I gave him the shock
of his life I didn't answer what he
expected I said because I'm having a
blast I'm loving life I love every
single moment of my life you understand
there's nothing in my life that's not
meaningful there's nothing in my life
that's nagging me and say you know what
I'm not really fulfilling my potential
I'm not doing what I really need to do I
should be you know climbing higher the
corporate ladder I should be doing no
I'm doing what I need to do I'm in sh
every morning I put on my fill and I'm
lucky to do that like said I'm the
chosen Nation I'm doing the most
important work in the world when I put
on my f I know that some solders getting
protected when you going to light the
candles you know a soldier's going to be
protected you you know that there's
going to be a bomb that's launched by
Iran which is going to fall in the open
field and it's not going to hurt anybody
because that was your candle that was
what you did so I'm just saying I feel
lucky I feel so fortunate but every Jew
should feel that same Good Fortune every
Jew should feel I know I was created for
something special Donald Trump recently
escaped an assassination attempt and and
he's he made many different statements
about it one of the statements he made
that stuck with me is that he saids you
know I realized I was spared for
something
every Jew can take that can say that you
know why because the Jewish people
should have been by right exterminated a
long time ago that's let's be honest
history does not favor small influential
uninfluential people like us those are
the people are relegated to the to the
dust bins of History they are let's be
honest there many nations that were
greater than Earth that you never never
heard of I once spoke somewh I spoke
about this the selts so they said no no
it's the Kelts I said no but the Boston
Celtics are the Celtics said no no but
it's the Kelts so I didn't even know how
to you know how what kind of
civilization they were they were huge I
don't even know how to pronounce their
name and here this little Jewish people
still you know what it means generation
after generation your family was spared
because you have a great purpose there's
greatness that's waiting for you you
have a every Jew has greatness every Jew
has genius just you have to unlock it
how do you unlock it by paying attention
to your own spirituality take a moment
I'm not telling you you have to put on
fing today not I'm not if you're not
you're not there yet I mean sure if you
can of course you should you know I say
all I'm saying is open your mind up look
for look to make the first connection
look to make the first contact with God
so to speak and follow your
spiritual path everyone has their own
and that will unlock the greatness in
You Beautiful
Rabbi duie one more wrapup
statement yes um the wrapup statement is
that in 10 minutes I have meeting with
the trade Minister from India who signed
theou with us um in Manhattan that I
have to get um who reached out to us and
followed by the Polish trade Minister
Poland as well who wants to be part of
our Jewish Network that's who they
reaching out to us because the strength
of unity that we created together as
Jews the world of Commerce is recognized
in National International levels in the
country has the biggest population in
the world so I got to run
but at the same time it's not me it's
all of us together I am proud to be a
Jew I am proud to be Orthodox Jew and I
am proud to have received emails and
letters from the conservative Jews
saying that it's an honor to to work
with you and know you and have you as a
friend and from all sectors of the
Jewish Community um understanding and
recognizing the unity that we have and
the strength we have to to more united
the stronger we are and the and the less
we United the more we're divided and I
urge everyone to tap into themselves and
just observe the challenges whether it's
health issues whe whether whether whe
whe whether it's personal challenges
whether it's Financial issues over from
now until the day of the lighting of the
candle and see the Yash because when you
want to see God you could see
instantly the challenge we have is that
people see have God within them every
day and they take credit for this and
that happen this and that if you make an
effort to see God you'll see God every
moment of your life and that's the
candle and the flame within you that
when you light it you're going to share
it with others that's going to protect
our soldiers and and and and protect CL
Isel and ignite the fire of unification
