the tat talks in detail about the vessels in the beta mikdash and now rabbis ask a question why do we need to know all of that and why so much focus on the different things that the vessels were made of and I saw a beautiful answer it's also referring to the three levels of a giver the first level iset copper I'm going to give but I'm going to give because of my reputation the Next Level Up is K which means that I'm afraid I'm afraid I need to give then there's the level of zah that's a giver that just gives for the sake of giving and I'd like to say that 24/7 is the level of gold they don't know the receiver on the other end but they have no idea what they're doing for the people that they are giving [Music] to anyone that wasn't in the hospital but would have no way of understanding what 24/7 does for you we were in different hospitals One hospital after the next for six or seven years we did Sloan we did Columbia we did Mount Si we did Cornell we went from one hospital to the next and the one constant was that you had this room that you could go to not only for food for coffee but to see people that were going through similar things to what you were going through it was about the feeling the warmth the care I called it an infusion you would go down to that to get infused with how lucky we are to be part of this nation and one as we were leaving we passed the rabbi in charge of 24/7 and I said to him Rabbi I have to share with you what my Shabbat was about I said it was hard but the love and warmth that that room gives I said you can't compare it to any medicine that you can anything it's it's nourishment no matter how much you bring you want that warmth and that extra food that you get from the 247 I probably owe them a lot of money by now because we went I would go there just to take food just to feel good everything you wanted they have by the sadim they had Seda Plates Full Seda plates made with every part of the kada that you needed they had that set up with Saran wrap on it you took it to your room and you and you had the the grape juice every single thing you could e the room is stocked better than any kitchen I know there's freshly cut salad check lettuce before PES I thought I came with a fully stocked meal ready to serve the K and then I go downstairs and I see juice lettuce in the fridge of Cornell down to the tablecloth you would have tablecloths you could set up every s or every Shabbat meal table Clause my mother would take the hot plate we would use that for the food we all I think felt this way that you're sitting in your room it's Friday afternoon and you lost track of time you're waiting for the doctor to come in the nurse to answer you and you lost track of the day of the week and suddenly someone walks in with a bag of food with a box with the candles in it for Shabbat and the tablecloth for Shabbat and the grape juice all things that you had no time to think of but as Shabbat is going along you realize wow look I feel normal I feel like I have Shabbat like a Jewish person in the hospital and therefore on behalf of all my siblings and of course my Mother we'd like to say a tremendous tremendous thank you hakar because you were like the warmth and the hugs and the kisses and the little tap on your back that you're not alone when I think about 24/7 the first feeling I have is warmth and I think on top of that it's appreciation when you press those numbers the combination with the Hebrew letters you suddenly feel like someone cares about you let's give them our support and let's understand that of course they have a lot of volunteers who will come with stuff but it also takes support and it takes funds and that's what they need from us we all try to forget about what happened in the hospital but the one thing we don't want to forget is 247 I don't want to forget it and you shouldn't forget it [Music]
