It's a perfect idea for a gift because it has all the speakers with all the lessons that were chosen by the toy time team the best ones. So if you want a lesson on schlomite whatever you want all the topics are in this and it's a good gift even though it's too late but think about it for next year for a graduation gift. I thought about it. I told about it for a graduation party. This is a very good gift. And whoever's over here could get a cost price, right? How much is it over here? >> $25. That's it. Not even a pie of pizza. $25. And this is this is life-changing. Abu Thai. And if you're online, order the book. It's going to give you unbelievable. I know my brother, my younger brother in Lakewood, reads it himself. And when I was home for Shabbat, he left it open on the dining room table. And even though he was my brother, it was not a my thing by the way. And it was actually with notes and a piece of paper and an underlined. So people are really really learning it. You should go time. You're doing great things. And with all the bring come in this second, >> thank you. Thank you for arranging and Rabbi for all the beautiful things you do for Cladis. They're saving Jewish Jewish children. Now it's not only in Queens, it's all over the tri-state area. They're now focusing in deal, focusing in Brooklyn. There's a lot of things to talk about and I was really debating driving in over here sitting in traffic. What topic should I talk about? the last two years we thought it will be the last years over here in Galut and we spoke about and thank you Hashem the impact it made from this room over here Bedel and from Torah anytime the impact it made is tremendous so although I was not planning on saying this I'll say it anyways I'll share with you two stories that came up from this room from last year of people that sat over here and listened to this speech about learning, took action, heard and took action, took it to heart, got the book for free, learned it every single day, and saw you show our salvation. Just in case you don't know what I'm talking about, it's this over here, the daily companion. And again, we're giving it out for free in the back for those who did not get one last year, right? It's the same book. So, if you already got one last year, don't go again, okay? It's a free safer in the back. And whoever is listening, email me [email protected]. We'll try to ship you a free bookshem. If you're ready to finish the book at least once, at least once. >> A what? >> Two A's. Y A K O V R A H I M I Gmail. So last year there was a fellow, a boy sitting over here, Sadik. We heard the story that we mentioned over here that a person who controlled his mouth one time not to speak to give health to his son to his daughter that was in coma. I'm not going to say over the story again. This fellow took the story to heart and he was in the middle of trying to date to find his zoo. He took upon himself he called me I think it was the next day after that week. He said he was so inspired by the story about how much power and it brings to the world we don't speak. He decided to take upon himself not to speak and learn the every single day. And he said upon himself that he feels he's going to get engaged because of this. He was confident about it. That's how it works, by the way. When you believe in yourself, it works. Fast forward a few months later, he sends me a text. Rabbi Barakashem, I'm engaged. Give me a call whenever you have time. I call him up. I remember him sitting over here and Barakai as we speak. They're married and many many healthy children. Why am I saying that story? Because I can't I can't lie to you. Meaning I could go give you speeches. Look, I have so much here. I can speak about so many things. But how can I not share with you an unbelievable reality just that there's a magic pill, there's a magic book, this daily companion is doing wonders left and right. I'll share with you another story and this I know the personally it will happen to because he learned to daily companion. He calls me up a few weeks ago. This is a fellow in Lakewood. He calls me up and he tells me I have to share with you a story and I want you to be my I want you to advertise the story. Now it happens to be the reason why he had my number is because around a week before that we happened to meet in the lake and the lake is thousands and thousands of we happened to bump into each other but everything is there's no coincidence. We exchange numbers and then he had my number to give me a call to tell me the story. He said that his wife works in a school in Lake. He's in Kell. So his wife supports him. Sadika Sadi. She supports the family. The school in middle of June told her that basically she's not coming back next year. She has no job for the next year. Now it's a very pressuring thing when you're the one supporting the family. And she tried applying for other jobs. She went to a few schools to apply to be a mora to be a teacher. They closed the door on her. She went to one place and they told her that we have more people applying for jobs than students applying for the school. There was no luck. There was there was no no light at the end of the tunnel. Not only that, and he told me to say this detail, his wife with only is also expecting a child. They get an email from the insurance that she's on that her insurance was canceled. She's out of insurance. Now, that gets very pressuring. That's when a lady is due and she's off insurance with doctors. Not only that, he tells me for the summer they had no plans how they're going to pay rent, how they're going to pay electric. They had no money. So, he said we were in a very, very dire stuck situation. But then he remembered he tells me he says he remembers on Torah anytime and a few other places screams that those who learn the every single day and reduce the amount of will see will see blessings will see Yeshua will see salvation. So he said he went to the store, Judeica Plaza store in Lakewood and he bought this book daily companion. Him and his wife started learning it consistently every single day for two weeks straight. Two weeks straight consistently. Now everybody wants to learn the book. The question is how consist how consistent is a person and that's also a very big key to succeed in this ishu and he learned it every single day for two weeks straight. Then he calls me up and that's when he called me up to tell me the story. He says, "Yakima, you're not going to believe what happened." Two weeks learning the safer, we get a call from one of the schools that she applied. Happens to be that school that told her that we have more teachers applying the students. The principal wants to meet her. They drove down to the school, he told me, and they met the principal. The principal after the meeting said, "I'm not so confident about it yet, but it looks like it." As soon as she left the office, the main secretary of that school told her, "By the way, if the principal is talking like that, if he didn't tell you right away, no, you're in. You have a job." And she was right. She got the job. And he tells you, not only did she get the job two weeks later after, she's getting paid more for her salary for less hours, which means she lost her job, started learning, she got a better job, less hours, more money. But the story goes on. The same day he tells me he goes to the mailbox in Lakewood after learning. He opens up the mailbox. He sees an envelope from the US Treasury. He opens it up. America sends them a few thousand for tax returns that they messed up three years ago. They made a mistake. It's a nice gift. Few thousand. Who remembers that? Who knows what you're talking about? Boom. Hashem sends them a few thousand of what? Learning two weeks. The story goes on. He tells me that night he comes back from night meaning he learns that night and he opens up his laptop and he sees in his Gmail account that the insurance sent an email. She's back on insurance. They went to an organiz called Lakewood that helps you out. Now she's back in insurance all in one day learning for two weeks straight. Look how much it brought to this couple a job, money for the summer and she's back in insurance. She have only only and a healthy healthy uh birth. There are many stories like that of those who learn the safer every single day. We'll see tremendous I want to share with you powerful. He writes in writes like this and this applies in our times where us as a nation right now are going through a very hard time says at times when there's so much dean in the world there's so much judgment there's so much tragedies and when a person realizes that there's no way out from all the different that are falling at they call and every day that goes by there are more tragedies and more tragedies like right now we hear in the news says what do you do he doesn't say to go to rallies look what says you know where we have to strengthen ourselves we're doing acts of when we do with one another here in this world, Hashem will have more mercy on us from Shim and he will take us out of our situation. And he goes on and he says, "I'm so surprised. I'm surprised are those that are always looking for sigulot when they need a salvation and rubles, which means they spend thousands of dollars in his times in Europe for sigulotim. Is there anything better say to do? And what is that to get involved and going out of your way to do? And he says that's the greatest. And where do we see it from? Now, who's better than Yahawani? Says when we were in Egypt, we were in exile. We're in Galut. The got together and they said par is getting worse and worse and worse. The decrees are getting worse and worse and worse. We got to do something. How are we going to get out? Says Elon you know what Kais did? This is tremendous says what did they take upon himself. Even though the times were so hard, every person, even though they were in exile, they were literally slaves. How much can you do when you're a slave? You don't have money to give. You're too tired. How much can you actually do when you're a slave? But they said, "No matter what, we're going to strengthen each other. We're going to give to each other. We're going to take care of each other. We're going to do and through that the decrees of going to stop and that's what happened says because with one another because of that we left. So it says the when things are hard when the news are getting unfortunately worse and worse another soldier another soldier this hostage is terrible terrible situation. What do we do? Does Hashem ever ever leave us hanging? Hashem tells us exactly what the plan is and exactly what the exit to leave the situation is. And Hashem writes over and over and over again, the reason why there is suffering in the world, the reason why there's the reason why we're in galut is because there is no we're not together enough. There's not enough there's too much. So if a person is looking for the exit, if you're looking to do something for the Jewish people, says the no greater than doing going out of one another, staying away from and the goes on and I and I'll tell you exactly his words. He gives a promise. He gives a promise like this. I'm reading you as I don't want to ruin it. Whoever controls their mouth not to speak and is careful. A person watches their mouth not to speak against Hashem which means no no lies no curses works on the power of speech says guaranteed he will merit to get blessings not only to him not only are you going to get a blessing your children going to get blessings and your great grandchildren also going to get blessings this is all a promise A person who's careful with not only sees in their life, they're going to see in their children's lives in their grandchildren. I want to share with you know the story of somebody who emailed me but what happened to them when they started learning tremendous story. Not only does it help for health and by the way there was a lady a couple of months ago in bar park and I've read this more than once 49 years old she wasn't married started learning the with a group of other ladies at day 41 she got engaged make the calculation 49 years old day 41 of learning the sephair boom she got engaged She's a moral. She's a teacher in New York. I can't say exactly the details. 49 years old. That's an open miracle. That's from learning. And what happened to my sister? Listen to this story. Even though I planned something else, remember to go back. What happened to my sister? Her and her friend were both inim her and her friend were both dating and we're both trying to date, get married. And spoke at my mother's house right after October 7th. And he mentioned how those who learned the safer every single day was tremendous. So my sister and her friend took upon yourself to learn the learned it together every single day over and over and over again as we speak. They're both married after came together. Not only that, my sister and her best friend both married brothers. You hear this from the same family. Is that a coincidence? Shalom. Shalom. all learning from the I'll tell you one more story. A lady emails me that her son was not getting into any ishivot that she wants her son to be in to grow and learn Tawa. He was getting rejected and rejected. Came the summertime, he went to camp but he still wasn't accepted into any schools of Shivot. She decided to take action and she started learning the book in merit that her son should find the right yeshiva. She's learning as she's learning as she's learning as she's trying to get her son into school doesn't happen. The summer is already in middle. The summer is coming to an end. Her son is still not in yeshiva. Okay. Finally, he gets an interview and one of the yeshiva that her son wants to go to right beforeh right before September. They go to the interview. The rishiva says, "Listen, your son is a nice guy. There's a lot of potential." Blah, blah, blah. However, he can't get in. There's no room. It's not going to happen. Okay. The mother keeps learning. Now, she forgot why she started learning the book. It was already a few months. So, she forgot the purpose of why she started, but she kept on learning every single day. She said that she learned it by her bedside. Comes the month of Hosan is still not in school. Still not school already start page of this book daily companion. I believe it's day one or one or something. The last day of this book she puts it down and then she remembers hey I just finished a book and she remembers why did I start learning in the first place for my son to go to yeshiva. The next day after finishing the book, she gets a call from the risha and he tells her there was one boy that was supposed to come. He's not coming. We have an extra spot for your son. Come bring your son. We're learning by and she looks in the calendar. You know whose yard said it was the day her son went to yeshiva the which means she started learning the safer for her son to go to yeshiva. The yard is the day her son gets into yeshiva. That's an unbelievable story. There are so many lessons to be learned from this. We're all want to grow. We want to get close to Hashem. We all heard about the topic of lash our whole life. But who's actually taking action learning the safer every single day will give you tremendous writes a very big secret says sometimes not sometimes all the time Hashem wants to shower us with blessings of but Hashem wants to see us take action first in this world. He wants us to take the first step to go out of our way for another Jew to do like the writes. So many times in life when we're going through a test in the day whether we should help out another person whether we should speak or not the reason why it's happening to you says it's because Hashem wants to see you go out of rear for your friend and respect him and not in order to shower you back with so all the time when we're going through test should I speak should I not is it worth it is it Think about it like this. That's the reality. Hashem is waiting to give you if you take the first step of action not to speak, Hashem will shower you with more and more. I'm not sure if I said this mash here, but it just came to my mind to bring this home. At one time met a very wealthy guy from Deal, New Jersey. I had to go fundra and he tells me, "Come to my warehouse." I go to his warehouse and his warehouse is in a city in New Jersey that's not known to be the cleanest place, very very low type of place. And he takes me to his warehouse and all I see is a junkyard. He opens up one of his one of his sheds. All I see inside is a broken fan, a fax machine, this all everything is junk. I tell him, "You're a multi-millionaire." Yeah, I have like that. You're a multi-millionaire. What are you selling? Usually when I fund raise money, I meet different guys who sell clothing, real estate. I don't This is what you're selling and you're a millionaire. Junk. Secondhand junk. Literally. He tells me, "No, no, Rakim, you don't understand. Many stores when they get shipments from companies, they make a huge order. Not every product is perfect and they don't have space to keep it in them and they don't ship it back. So my business is, one of his businesses is that I collect all the different objects these big stores and companies don't want. I pick it up for free. I take care of everything. I bring it to my warehouse. I have workers that sell it on eBay. So make the calculation about that. If you want to become rich, if you have thousands and thousands of objects, you take something for free and then you make millions off it on eBay. I told him, "Now you taught me a tremendous lesson for life. Many times, Hashem throws at us nissot tests and we might look at it like junk. What do I need this for? Hashem, why are you giving me a test? Why that salot? Why this? Our job is to turn that salot, our job is to turn the nut that Hashem sends us that looks like junk, flip it around and turn it into gold. Hashem is giving us opportunities. Hashem is giving us chances to get when we control ourselves not to speak. And that's what the says when one controls themselves not to speak Hashem will give you not only to you to your children to your grandchildren and before I forget after this I'll say one more thing anybody who takes upon themselves to finish this book companion I'm talking to people who are listening also on any time if you're ready to learn the at least once to take it upon You can submit your names. That's a new organization started by and the foundation. You can submit your names to be prayed for by the caver of the Manchester in England and a few other rabbis are going to fly in doing the yard of the which is the month of and they're going to pray by the caver of the mana who's the sadic who started this movement of learning every single day. He's the one who initiated it to learn to every single day. So those who are ready to take upon himself to learn the safer every single day, email me as well to submit your name and I'm going to send those names for to pray for you on the yard site by the cave of the mansions of Risha. So if you're interested, email me.com with your name. Do you ready to take it upon yourself and what to pray for? I'm going to end up with one thing. Sometimes even a person can forget why are we mourning? What exactly are we missing? Does anybody really feel the mdash? So I want to share with you a thought from he says in that we added in we add a paragraph called which means it's a paragraph describing describing the destruction of Jerusalem in that it describes as a city that's bizuya bizuya in English is Any any Americans here? Bizuya is disregarded, looked down upon, desecrated. Then the paragraph goes on. Yushalim is a city. No one likes Yushalim. Shalim is an empty city. Yushalim is destroyed. There's nothing there. It's Bizuya. says, "When was the last time you've been to one apartment with onebedroom apartment, two-bedroom apartment is a million dollars, $2 million is the most expensive real estate in the world. One of the most expensive cities in the world has the best very happening place. Has the best restaurants too. Jerusalem is a very happening place, very expensive place, too." So how can this that we say describe Jerusalem look down upon there's nothing there it's a deserted city it's empty there's nothing there no one lives there it's not occupied says what are you talking about it's the busiest place in the world we have so much ishiva it's such expensive real estate and he answers a very very fundamental answer and abatai try to take this answer to heart because that is the that is why we are fasting right now and I'll bring it out with I once read an article about a very wealthy Jew that he lost his parents unfortunately in a helicopter crash billionaires from Mexico and they interviewed the son after his parents passed away they took pictures of the house of the cars of the driveway of the living room can imagine how a billionaire's house looks like. After the interview, after he showed them the pool, the slide, the this, the that, the journalist asked the son, "How does it feel to have such a big house, billionaire of your car, your this?" And the son turned told the journalist, "With all the big houses that I have, with all the wealth, with the beauty of the house that I have when I walk in, what's a house without parents? All the big real estate, all the expensive cars, the driveway, the couches, the kitchen, whatever you want. The pool. When I walk in, there's an emptiness. I can't explain. It's a house without parents. Says, "Why do we mourn? Isn't built? Isn't the most expensive city in the world?" The answer is yes. There are Yeshivot. There are good jewels. The real estate is expensive. It's growing. The population is great. And it should be many more. But what's without the beta mikdash? What's without the how it's supposed to be? So even though is great and it should get better but we can't forget says he writes in he writes we can't forget that the looking for is mikdash. So even though we have expensive real estate but it's a real estate without parents it's mikdash that's why we're mourning because we want hashem back in the beta mikdash. Now how do we bring it back says the how do we take action we need action how do we do it start learning the you will see tremendous tremendous we learned a lot today and I'm done we learned a lot of lessons those who learn the safer you're going to see blessings in your life and your children and your grandchildren and many times when you control yourself not to speak it's because Hashem wants to give you and we learned just from this room. How people who started learning the safety got married. How people started learning the safety got panas got jobs and there are many stories of couples who had children. There was just a guy in Lakewood and BMG that I know seven years no children. A group of 16 friends in his yes is yeshiva started learning the safer for him. Within a couple of months hashem his wife is expecting hashem all from what his friends starting to learn the safer. There was another BMG where one guy has the he was not well. This happened last year. They went to the ask them rabbi what should we do? Our friend is not well. He has he tells him I don't know let me ask he goes to and he meets one of the main that we have in a very big sadikdel tells them what do you mean it's obvious tell them to learn and the whole started learning all the friends started learning and should give him only health but there was tremendous improvement already within several months after starting learning There are many stories.
