Mekudeshet Event - Rabbi David Ozeri

Good morning everybody. Ladies and gentlemen, um I'd just like to acknowledge for a moment one person that say first of all the Montigue family, Mrs. Montigue, where are you? Mr. Montigue, where are you? Where is he? How are you? Thank you very much. This is magnificent. You know, there's a there's a that says difficult is making a match like the splitting of the sea. So, it's very appropo. We're here today. We see that C split. We know we're doing fine. Um, I just like to acknowledge the presence of somebody who is here today. Jill, uh, Kim called me up a few years ago. Said, "Rabbi, I have this idea. I'm so frustrated with how many singles there are in the community. I think we should start paying the uh the matchmakers. I think we have to make an organization. How do you do this? I said, it's simple. We get in touch with a man by the name of Rabbi Pagra has been doing this for years in the Ashkenazi community and they've made thousands of shidim. We made one phone call to Rabbi Pagra. He came down, he sat with K, Rabbi Pagra, please wave your hand, Rabbi Pagra. And uh he he has been a tremendous help to the organization. I just like to say the following. I'm not going to take up your time. It is something great in heaven to make one bas one shid. Do you realize that if you make one shid that can turn into a family of maybe five or six children? Five or six children will turn into about 40 or 50 grandchildren, 60 grandchildren. That will turn into a few hundred greatg grandandchildren. After 120 years, we're going to go to heaven and they're going to show us hundreds of people. They say, "Yeah, you're responsible. This say you have the wrong guy. I don't know what you're talking about." No, no, no, no. You made a buzz. This is what came out from that bas. It is not easy to make a shid. You sometimes are get so frustrated. You could be on the phone for weeks on end. They can go out 10 times, 12 times, and then all of a sudden they break up. Where am I at? But is there for these matchmakers, constantly encouraging them, constantly sending them money. Now, we're not going to sit there and make bas. Let's face it. But you know what? If you support, you have made you have made. You will get credit for it. I tip my hat to Rabbi Habber and to Kim Daba for everything that they done to this community. You know, some of these girls that they made was and boys, they're older, 28, 27, 20, 30, okay? They would have never been able to get married without this organization. We have to understand that and we have to be there for them. And I promise you, if you do it, you if you support me, you will have in your life. Thank you.
