I got the opportunity to shoot an
advertisement in New York and on the
plane I saw that religious scary
lady and I was stuck with that lady for
hours and I was very surprised that she
we started to talk she was very honest
to say you know what e I'm not God I
don't have all the answers I know a lot
of people that can give you some of the
answers and I'm I promise you that I'm
going to ask them so my wife invited him
for a Shas and she on saying invited him
Shas I wonder if he's going to have a
call and accept the
invitation and sure enough after a week
and a half the called I came on Friday
morning and I went to her house I opened
the door when he came in he saw the sh
was little
s and that did something to he was
overwhelmed but by the just aight of the
shabas day youve never seen a shabas day
after he left back to Israel almost
every day she wasn't coming almost every
day isn't a day today that goes by and I
can say you
have so that's why when I asked you how
many children you have you wouldn't say
how many because he's one of them

proud first of all you shoot
Leiva and dear guests I want to thank
project Inspire for giving me the
opportunity to stand here and to
experience this amazing Shabbat with
amazing people you gave me so
much
I've been asked few weeks ago to say a
few words about my journey in the last
two years and I found myself in the bed
midrash writing and erasing and changing
and thinking about what should I say
what should I say to this important
people from so many different
backgrounds what can I
possibly to
you and I was trying to
think how did I get here how did I get
to this point that I'm standing here and
I speak what was that special moment
that captured me two years ago that made
me
change my reality made me change my
life and it was so clear to me what it
was what I
experienced I experienced
truth it was a Moment of Truth two years
ago ago and we all have it we all have
this moment that we stop for a second
and we ask
oursel what are we doing here what is
the purpose of life where am I
going I had this Moment of Truth two
years ago chapis table at the
rifless it's an incredible
moment delicious one but so scary it's
so scary because you know that this is
the truth and there are things that you
need to change and it hurts and it's not
fun and there is a price to
pay
and in this journey you ask yourself if
the price that you praying withth it
suddenly I was trying to think about all
the things that I had in the last two
years meeting a religious woman on the
plane and going for shabs and borar G
you know it's not Disneyland
okay and and experience Shabbat and
going back to Tor park for two months to
learn Torah and from moving from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem you know from from
City of opportunities to to my dor with
through three roommates and from the
audition room to the bit mid Rush what
was I thinking
but shows me that even the biggest
mistakes that I think that I did in my
life turned out to be the biggest
blessings and he showed me that when you
choose the path of Truth there is only
one price that you
pay it's a price of living your life in
the most
fulfilling meaningful way that you can
ever
expect and and the biggest mistake in my
life that I thought it was 2 years ago
became my biggest
blessing and these are the rifer the
rifer
family the
riers CP
rifer she was big enough to see past my
clothing
and I wasn't wearing a black suit back
then she was big enough to see past my
behavior past my
mistakes they really saw the potential
in FB potential that I I didn't I didn't
even think that I have it things that I
never imagined that I'm capable of doing
they show me day after day I can do it
they show me the possible effing and she
did it with one simple
sentence will you come for
shabis that's
it I say that Hashem created the world
with
words TI rifer created my world with the
words please come for
shads so I got to tell you it's not easy
words to to to say from aish Lady a
mother of 13 on a plane that her kids
are going to ask her why did you bring a
punk to your shadows
table and it wasn't Shadows of Miracles
and big Productions and you know flying
strial it wasn't
that there was some strial on a
but it
was a Jewish shabis with a lot of food
of course
a lot of food I wanted to compliment her
on the food and I said wow so many
curses and then I realized that the word
that I was trying to use is courses
corses then I moved to yish and instead
of saying I said shake it shake it shake
it but beside the
food I learned eish then I can speak
eish beside the food there was a very
special
ingredient and that was the truth and
you all have it you all have it in your
Jewish life with your shabas table and
your amazing kids your amazing family
and your Clarity
and and you all have it and I'm asking
you to share
it I see you today and I see amazing
potentials talking to people during this
shabas I see incredible potential you
are a CU
machine and I ask you to share it with
our brothers and sisters around the
world that don't have it don't have the
shabas table don't have the holidays RAB
La was talking about people that don't
know Judaism I'm talking about Israelis
that don't know that they're Jewish I
had to do all the way from Tel Aviv to
bbar Brooklyn to experience
Shabbat doesn't make
sense and how can you do it you probably
tell yourself I'm not t your rer I don't
have the tools I don't know how so first
of all you have project Inspire that
teaches you how to do it and to show you
that you have everything you have
everything you just need to present it
in the right way and it's also okay to
say I don't know I'm not sure I can
check it for you just like Mrs rord did
on the plane I I asked tons of questions
she just came back from Israel from
Mission Project Inspire and she said you
know what I'm not sure I'm going to
check it for you and I appreciate her
honesty so today I'm asking you to look
at the fellow Jew in the supermarket in
your doctor's appointment in your bus
stop look at him look at his eyes and
realize that he's just like him
you have more things in common than
differences we all want amazing life we
all want the and the the clarity and we
all want it we all have the same
fears and we all hashem's children and
I'm asking you to give them the option
to choose to really choose what they
want to do with their life just like the
rers gave me they gave me the
opportunity to choose my
life so the story today is not about F
BB the actor and the model that became a
Shiva buffler and learned in the bed mid
day that's not the story the story is
about amazing family the
riers they're just like
you
just like
you they gave me the opportunity to
choose to see life the way they are to
experience Judaism sh a
stable I beg you to to do
it and the riers are doing it every day
every night they support me they talk to
me they're their kids became my brothers
and
sisters and they're doing it amazingly
together with project Inspire and
together with the ishor family Riva
Rabbi coopersmith Rabbi Burger Rabbi
Schwarz all the amazing rabbis support
me help me realize who's the potential
eff and I have one thing to tell you
around the world there are 10 of
thousands of f
that's looking forward to meet Mrs
rers on the
plane so I'm asking you please make that
flight to the flight of their
lives thank
you
let me tell you something Ed solvan
could have used an
fbb would have helped the
radi
