saying to Hill he used to always every
every sphere opportunity he had he would
pull out to H and he would say to in
fact my father says it to hel him at
least once a day and now he says it more
than once a day and my father told me
that in order to to to say the words of
the you have to wash your hands and
airport or in an environment where
you're not sure if you're going to have
a cup you know you go to a water
fountain he wanted to make sure that he
has a a cup to wash his hands properly
that's why he had this this this thing
he used to slap everywhere with him a
little plastic
cup my father was in jail in debuk
Iowa and I remembered I remember I went
to visit him and it was a it was a a
special visit visitation that was
arranged by a um organization called Alf
Institute they arranged for me to go
visit him and discuss some matters I
went to visit him and it was through a
glass there's a glass over here you sit
down over there and my father comes in
from the other side of the room through
a glass and I see he walks into the
room and he sits down he's wearing a
orange uh
jumpsuit and his his his amuna and his
spirits were unbelievable he reach me
with a big
smile how you doing how is your trip
how's everything we discuss something I
noticed he walked into the room and he
put down I don't know if uh there's when
you go to a deli you get these sometimes
these 2B containers for the salad and
different things so he has this 2B
container and he puts it down next to
him asked him T what's with this plastic
container 2B container he reminded me of
the same answer that he gave me in the
airport years before
that
he's in jail
he doesn't know if he's going to have a
cup they always take away the cups
afterwards he convinced them that he's
able to keep this two-b container
plastic container that he had some
salads that were brought from k salad
that was brought he kept this 2B
container and he guards it with his life
because this is his only way to wash NE

don't remember if it was going to be a
plague or something but this everyone in
this Village is going to be not going to
make it through the

goes all the way all the way all the way
up and he comes before and he he
asks to take away this
Gaza and he begged and pleaded that this
Gaz should go away but it was
unsuccessful it was a big big Z Big K
TOA and for some reason this Village was
the
kapara and was very dejected he didn't
know what to do he was spent a lot of
time trying to convince to
convince that this gazer should be an
old but he wasn't
successful on his way back he passed by
a huge Palace in the
sky and he asked from one of the he said
what's this big Palace from where's

told by the ason here that that you were
arranging another besides for the
beautiful beautiful mitvah that you
brought together such a large amount of
money which it it just it's just baffle
it baffles the mind to think how a group
of of children and B could pull together
such a beautiful such a big feet but
besides for that besides for that I
heard that you're putting
together thousands of that are being
said in my in my father's house and I'm
sure this on top of the the the money
that was raised for the P this is going
to mean a lot to my father and more
importantly it means a lot to and the
thousands of that you have arranged
should be the biggest and should be the
ones that pull away the XA from my
