right so first of all I'm so happy to
see
everyone I'm barar in my
heart uh shatova
everybody and it's just we I think we
thank basically everybody except that we
forgot to thank r
rudenberg as you can the EMT staff is
you know we have some serious expansion
and thanks to Rabbi craft and Rabbi
rudenberg our directors uh uh we're able
to do that and we we all benefit so I
want to just thank them for all the work
that they
do so uh I am like so excited and so
happy and so in
love with god with Hashem now why do I
feel this way today
especially I want to see if I I figure
out if I could put into words I've been
listening to some uh shim from my one of
my rabbis rabbi Lawrence kelman which
you could find yourself on
simpletoremember dcom can everyone
remember that website simpletoremember
dcom just look up Rob by Lawrence K he's
got like 50 sheer on there one is better
than the next I just give you a little a
little taste of what he's saying he he
gave the following example the following
example two people are married this hey
D two people are
married the wife every guy would love
this the wife has
ESP she knows exactly what the husband
needs at all times right special woman
she's a she trained with Rabbi gaker and
she's a she's a
cabalist so the wife knows exactly what
the husband needs and he doesn't have to
say anything right he absolutely does
not have to say anything and uh you know
right away he comes home there's PL
right Shabbat there's bash every single
thing he needs it's done it's
unbelievable husband says nothing now
the wife's not so lucky quote unquote
the husband does not have ESP go figure
so so if the wife needs something or
wants something she has to tell her
husband so the husband in this
relationship obviously is fictional does
does not say anything and gets whatever
he needs cu the wife knows exactly what
he's thinking but the wife is a regular
is her husband's a regular person so she
needs to say everything to her husband
she say I need this I need that and she
has to really talk everything out and
that's how they function
so at the end of several years of
relationship you know what we found we
found that the wife is super crazy in
love with the husband CU she's always
talking to him she's always sharing her
feelings with that with him and the
husband even though his wife gets him
everything he wants doesn't have such
strong feelings for the
wife now guess what I'm going to talk
about us and Hashem Hashem has ESP and
he knows every single thing that we need
and he knows what we need on rashash and
he knows he needs to be the king of the
whole
universe but he wants us to love him he
wants us to love him so badly that he
gives us on rashash a very long day of
daving so we can go the whole day and
talk to Hashem and after that we come
out say I love Hashem you know I was in
sh from 7:30 to 2:00 you know that
that's hardcore Judaism is Hardcore by
the way don't if you want to see like
you know some that have like extreme
sports when I see extreme sports try
Judaism try y Kipper some people don't
even come home Rabbi n told me they had
a 5minute breaks they just stayed
there right and the whole time I'm
talking to
Hashem the rest of the year we're like
you know on a quick space everyone's
running I can say a couple words here a
couple words there but really I'm in a
rush I'm not even thinking Russ a sh no
one has got it there's no other place to
go it's like Judgment Day so we stand
there we talk to Hashem and we come out
we're like I'm love cuz I just told
Hashem all my problems right I told
hasem that I want him to be king I told
Hashem that he's the greatest and we're
so
happy that's love so that that's where I
came away with rashash with I got to
talk to hem and there there was so much
love
now Hashem created this whole beautiful
daving just for us to be in love with
him cuz he's super super in love with us
and there is one day of the year that is
it says is the greatest day and it's
coming up even though some rabbis say
very tongue and cheek that people always
go to Sho in the wrong time they go to
sh Kipper the whole day they're fasting
they're ding they're like hitting
themselves in the chest so they think
you know sh's depressive right so come
to sh that's that's a lot of fun right
but yipper is not the rabbis are kidding
when they say this y Kipper is not
depressing Yer is the greatest day and
we have it coming up I'm so excited for
it what's so great about it
it's the day Hashem shows us how much he
loves us if you spend a year with
somebody right we just spend a year with
Hashem very close proximity very close
we didn't do all the right things now if
you really love somebody and you spend a
year together with them and they did
some things to you that weren't so nice
how do you show them how much you love
them what are you going to
do you're going to forgive them for
everything and that's what a
he says I love you guys so
much each of us individually we've had
some ups and downs this year there been
a lot of good times a lot of times you
know not so good for everybody no matter
who you are right and he said this is
the day I'm going to forgive you this is
day I'm going to forgive you because I
love you so
much but I ask this what hasem saying I
ask you guys to do one thing for me and
what is that to say you're sorry and
that's yum Kipper we dress in white we
don't eat anything we don't drink
anything we don't I don't know how
bharan guys are going to do this but you
can't put on any cologne
right you cannot anoint yourself right
so it's it's hard I told you it's
extreme religion
so this one day year we say to hasem I'm
not interested in food I'm not
interested in eating I'm not interested
in drinking I'm not even interested in
smelling good all I care about is that
you forgive me and then I'm going to be
here and I'm going to say I'm sorry I to
talk to Hashem the whole day and that's
the essence of yum Kipper Hashem loves
us so much he said at your
sketch right blank slay for the
year only if you say you're sorry though
so I this Kipper I don't care if you
spend five minutes in sh I don't SC if
you go to you know a local sh and spend
24 hours there doesn't matter but when
you're there
remember how much Hashem loves you and
just love him back in return just say
I'm sorry and that's the essence of
yipper Hashem loves us and all he wants
from us say like Hashem I know I could
have been a little bit better we all
could have please forgive me take me
back right I'm wearing all white I'm uh
not eating I'm not drinking just want to
be taken back to you and that that's the
essence of Yer so I want all of us here
right to talk to this Yer remember the
more you talk the more you're going to
fall in love with him right and just say
you're sorry and I'm going to guarantee
that he's going to accept you with a
full acceptance cuz hasem he loves us so
much he wants to wipe our slate clean
more than we even want to wipe clean and
we get to start over and so I wish
everyone here uh
garto what's a good translation for
that good conclusion a good conclusion
thank you I I I only speak yesh I don't
even speak Hebrew so it's very difficult
so gamar told have a good conclusion our
conclusion should be good we should get
that ET sketch blank slate and we should
know that Hashem loves us and we should
say Hashem I love you so much I'm so
sorry please forgive me and with that
we're going to have an amazing fantastic
year next year shatova
[Applause]
