[Music]
okay I understand the topic today is
about triumphs and trials in Mallen they
killed something along those lines what
are the answers you know usually answer
questions with a question and the truth
is and that it's all a matter of
perspective just an introduction you
know different people have different
views and everybody of course presents
his side of the story but I've learned
it's a matter of perspective you know
one of my favorite stories about this
fellow who up in the morning in Brooklyn
and got into the Belt Parkway the only
problem was the enter through the exit
so you open up the radio and there's a
helicopter that reports on the traffic
patterns so here's the following
announcement ladies and gentlemen on the
Belt Parkway watch out there's a
meshuggener going the wrong way
this guy gets so angry sees one
meshuggener look how many Michigan's all
going the long way yeah so it's it's a
medal of how you look at things a couple
comes to merge counselor
I'll start so my wife is great she's
wonderful she cooks she bakes she's a
good mother so what's wrong she's very
baby there's a generic statement to the
house at your house how do the express
itself so the guy says counselor okay I
tell you every single morning she steals
all my toys right so where is the power
anyway no why am I saying this because
you know sometimes I hear ridiculous
statements and claims there is that
claim that he was because of a million
million people and if you take the
collective
claims of all the organizations that are
AIESEC that busy with him you just
wonder what my share is not here yet
because class or they achieve it twice
not once come to the numbers so you have
to tell you the grain of salt
we have shop real-time relatively
speaking to for the depth of this topic
so I'd like to really stick to as they
call it here tactless everybody knows
there are different approaches to to
kill you can compare the approach let's
say of Asia tour tour Samara not
Lubavitch to Belgian and blessed live
another all you like
it's Hawk everybody has the own Mahalo
and again you can hear so many different
ways and as long as the legitimate in
Baja no problem I can only speak from my
perspective and the approach that we
took in Michigan Midwest and then
involved in in college campuses
throughout the states in Canada was
going really a way above the speed limit
so cup stopped apologize of the United
States Sosua success Allah says in
Canada yeah anyway so okay so the the
groups that I personally was involved in
the organization that was involved is
basically I would say students of all
kinds of backgrounds primarily I'd say
over 90 percent form conservative all
atheists or humanist whatever a small
percentage of more religious students
still we also dealt with professionals
young professionals that we used to have
launched an ounce we used to have in
hospitals for Jewish doctors and in law
firms downtown Detroit and in Birmingham
Michigan different places where we had
lunch an ounce for unaffiliated
professionals of course we had also
older ages but the the target groups or
those target groups there's another
group that I worked with in the past to
some degree and currently more than
recently and that is the group of
[Music]
questioning Jews who are really
officially religious but they have a lot
of questions kids at risk or like now I
work with but if anybody knows you know
- the Air Force Base is never team had
survey manned places
outpost next to Asda and it's an her
name with the lady and so on over there
obviously the kids come from religious
backgrounds but believe me they need no
less help than those who come form it
sometimes even more those who come from
not religious backgrounds okay after
this introduction I really would like to
focus on four points in the process of
Kiev in the process of again it's it's a
bit difficult for me to know that it
wasn't specific topics that the other
speakers spoke about I hope I'm not
repeating things and going all the
things that were not spoken about well
it was poking about okay so
the first thing point number one is the
creation of interest I mean you come to
a community you come to a college campus
and you have to create interest honey
create interest right number two is once
you create an interest you have to
understand the audience there is a
tremendous difference between one
audience and another class sometimes you
can have similar to but this Manish day
and item in the Army nowadays I could
tell you I have a group I called group
gimel bet and Aleph I don't want to say
which group is my favorite but group
game L are soldiers that have zero
interest and not happy with themselves
and they come from very difficult
backgrounds level two is in between they
come from a little better background
they also join more better units and you
can talk to them sometimes they are
childish but it's distant then you have
the highest group which is the elite
units Honeyman others they really is a
different volume intelligent interested
questioning and you can have a very
intelligent conversation and discussion
so again you have to know every Jew is
an entire wall that doesn't make a
difference whether is intellectual or
simple over but as far as the individual
dealing with that person you need to
know who is dealing with or else you're
gonna go the wrong way so much mat once
itself was asked once fellow he says
Shalom we all know that yeah yeah the
big Talmud Holcomb Sean Ford on Clinton
is a this Chavez choice Malcolm Scholar
so that's them but when you speak you
speak so simple and you know
mashaallah my seller thinks in Yiddish
they say surpassed nation you know it's
below your dignity
why you do that they said I'll tell you
what say not so long ago before they
came out with the blueberry tasting
Tylenol and before they had all the all
kinds of flavors the kids don't want to
take medicine unless they have the right
flavor remember when I was a kid hearing
as well I grew up thing medicine was
bitter sometimes very very bit less
bitter since the mother wants to give
the kid the doctor said needs the
medication but that's the one spits
everything out so what does Jewish
mother do a little story tickles it why
these laughing but you put the medicine
dip in there slowly cantaloupe you said
that's what I do
I got a tickle them you have to take a
limit I my cell ever the stove is
something interesting and then I can put
the medicine in between and I think it's
it's very true especially in the
smartphone generation which again I in
the beginning of right now it's seven
years since I left it got much worse as
well as the problem of attention and
attention span and so on okay so again
as I said before I want to share with
you some practical advice and
experiences first you know generically
speaking you have the food after food
that was my policy from day one I don't
remember him at any time that I had a
program without food hey cuz I'll say
get the La Liga majjhima collaborated a
lot is nothing I always said that my
wife's chalant made many mobile children
and all my daughter's put together this
is nothing like something really it's
two people really
relate also they open up cuz I'll say
ecology myself but the marshal to get
interest again I'm speaking about in
early days today the situation is a
little different and you have to ask
people are currently on campuses because
the the the intelligence level and the
interest level really vary from campus
to campus and from place to place one of
the one of the people on campus who I
used to go on the west coast to speak
quite often you know confessed to me
says the lately he says that most of the
people applying on are Jewish for
by legally a logically the not Jewish
it's a huge problem
it's certainly what I'm saying is this
the audience's change and you have to
always you know understand who you're
dealing with
but it's file in generically speaking
how do you pick the interests of those
fields against it varies from one
audience to another the mercial on
college campuses but Allah is to choose
a very provocative topic and people
responded to it you know most the
killings things intermarriage
intermarriage I always say the full
house every time I used to have a whole
play I played out my name is John and
and I am the victim of my mother's you
know race is more bigotry whatever you
want to call it and she doesn't want me
to marry my lab partner who is a
wonderful Gentile young lady so and it
was all dialogue but things like that
really will always come out came out
always had a full house when we spoke
about those things is to bring in
speakers you know famous speakers
from other places things like that
that's obvious I think it's quite
obvious for while we on campus when we
felt that needed a little bit more firm
involvement so week we had trivia games
games for money who wants to make a
million dollars or the famous thing so
who wants to make whatever it was and it
was a tremendous thing cause it kinda
was very exciting I mean people ran for
the money
and also it gave us an opportunity to
show the kids how little they know about
the own heritage my favorite things I
used to do I used to ask him I said tell
me does anyone here know who Moses's
mother was I ain't much emotion I mean
somebody says I think he was Miriam I
see a very close call but I imagine 50
students and not one of them really knew
who the mother of so then I asked him a
second question I said tell me does
anyone know who Jesus's mother was the
hope was Mary I didn't I waited for
about two minutes silence I said just
reflect about what just happened now you
know about the other religions way more
than you know about and they were
shocked you know so sometimes you have
to use shock treatments in order to
awaken them when I used to want to
awaken parents I have on a video and
Machine State University David
ben-gurion said David who they've been
doing so David McCoy human no no I said
don't be going on
never heard of him I showed this video
to the parents mainly they don't know
about Marina Bay no no no
that's a gate that's already too much
okay so so again you have to use you
imagination you have to use your
creativity in order to arouse the
interest I have listened in France I had
the export for conferences about
thoughtful rabbi so friends I told them
you know if you're dealing about but not
not for people
FMS ism you feel on me
Schmidlapp Mitzvahed how do you move
them what do you say so again I'm just
mentioning as a topic for discussion
because it's really very interesting
there are ways to do it it's not the
form here that that have the luxury of
time to do it but just I don't think
what we try to do and function that was
very very successful and actually thanks
to the Wolfson family because it
wouldn't have happened without him but a
little bit first did it myself and my
staff because we used to get a lot of
students involved for one night then he
wouldn't see them for half a year
at one point we had 250 students but I
think I move it we took one not two not
to registration yeah but it didn't so I
was thinking what what is it what's the
problem here why did they seem to like
what we have to say but as I said you
need consistency so I said with the
staff and we walked it out came up with
the idea of I guess we used to schlep
kids to Israel used to bring a lot of
group service or from the state college
campuses I said wait a minute
financially doesn't make any sense let's
let's combine all the powers and make a
solution out of it so we came out with
the following challenge it's called
Maimonides Jewish leaders leaders
fellowship ever heard of that
Maimonides no okay so the my mother said
it was very simple
I had a group to the Federation of the
toys and every year interns they came to
see the Orthodox side of the story used
to be like half a day a day and I
provided them with all kinds of things
experiences to the kosher bakery
[Music]
no single well so one one day I asked
the guys in a sense the middle of this
summer it's hot your friends are on the
or whatever all over the world
why are you doing this so beginning
paper okay so we have the idea and we
said that we're gonna give every student
$500 cash if he or she signs up for ten
weeks of learning which means every week
three hours of learning to Shibata name
one community service day and a few
other things and it was amazing what do
we gain we gained that people had a
serious structured series of lectures
from 810 weeks it was the first hour was
lecture and then it was a discussion
group and then was a guest speaker and
of course food in between it was really
tremendous from but we made it very part
that's another point when I indicate to
you you have to make it prominent you
have to make it important so every
student that was accepted to the
fellowship needed to go through a
grilling interview of five people a
rabbi and one community member student
made a committee it was unbelievable it
became a covered by the way from the
first group we had 17 students were
selected from a lot of students and 13
of them to the shemitah limits 13 out of
17 not bad ok but again there was no
preaching though it was little sheep we
told them honestly we are going to teach
you Judaism because if you want to be a
Jewish leader you have to know what
Judaism is about there was nothing
hidden I think this was very open very
straight you know so again I'm just this
is a college campus in the city we used
to have also very
interesting topics in different luncheon
loans and handy for us police have like
25 doctors and downtown a very
prestigious law firm also about 25 30
lawyers in and emotional over there I
love with him PA I bought a text you
know and we analyzed it was really
beautiful and great again I'm trying to
squeeze in as much as I could in the
short time but today they came up also
by the way this idea of Maimonides it
was very strongly opposed by the hills
because they said that we are buying
them for money and and on and on but
bottom we prevailed and it became very
popular and other there's over 50
branches and there are imitations for
that about took her than the color the I
sign a scholarship whatever different
people don't talk about other rabid
people ask me if I mind I said okay more
the merrier the less pressure on me do
it and wonders itself success okay that
was an and new life and the Wolfson
family took it but the same idea that
the basic idea born was that to come up
with that with that combination so
nowadays again the different things of
work sometimes it's different cover your
different experiences Shibata name
traveling became very popular not only
to us all
I remember target doing the Intifada one
that parents refused to allow the kids
to come to Israel so I took them to
California right community effort what
can you do I mean
and bortion tremendous results a lot of
my friends now on campuses tell me that
they take kids to Poland to England the
given fun and sometimes to Costa Rica
whatever Joseph's innovative and
bourgeois
of options and and it works very very
well there's a student of mine actually
now is involved in project which is very
very successful it's J internships and
that is that you offer students young
professionals an internship in SL and
you connect them with Israeli companies
with high tech whatever and they have
some things they have to do as part of
the program and it's really a tremendous
impact the other thing that works
sometimes intriguing young man is to be
involved in facet projects that's a
tremendous thing a lot of kids that very
interested in in Detroit we had other
people came and and it was a tremendous
thing that they want to fill they give
something and once they get to know
Jewish people and religious people they
connect it's it's because it's an
automatic process of getting to know
each other getting to know the community
mmm okay I'll move to point number two
and that is understanding the audience
and sending the the type of people that
you want to attract so again this is
also a very very deep an extended
subject but I will try to stick to the
basics many people you know you you you
you paintball that you in a generic
group but everybody here I'm sure knows
the Macias is that everyone is
definitely some some people come to
English because of intellectual
pursuits
some people come from emotional events
in their life some people come to as you
know they look for crutch a mental coach
there's all kinds of people and again
it's so important I can emphasize enough
both to know who you're dealing with
sometimes if you know you don't stand
the individual coming to you you may
give them up
absolutely wrong advice and sometimes
they need a psychological evaluation
sometimes they need they need
philosopher to deal with them yeah
there's all kinds of different
backgrounds and it's extremely important
to to understand that okay so I would
break this into three categories one is
emotional intellectual and philosophical
I'll give examples of each kind and
simile I mean I had a fellow once in the
[Music]
Michigan that was one of the top law
students and the entire ceremony I think
it was number four
lady number four so someone the felon to
me and he came he was completely
unaffiliated so a few months he came to
the show you liked it so one day he says
to me rabbi
okay tell you I love to come to the
classes it's you know it makes a lot of
sense to me I know this old Jewish think
it works me something doesn't sit well
with me
tell me give me an example what really
irks you what bothers it says cities
citizens why is there those things
there's some experience things you know
I see those who Shiva guy is going it's
going all over the place that makes you
spiritual it's it's ridiculous
I look to them and I think what does
bother you
okay so kindergarten elementary school
middle school high school college I'm
now about to graduate law school
honestly question what did you will
doing graduation starts laughing along
Cortland
I said like a faucet right yeah so why
did you will it said no cool I'm like
everybody else what this one okay what
did you wait on your head
there was really funny it's the squirrel
head anything tell me what was on top of
that you know that chip Chico that thing
the tassel on the side I I saw pictures
I never got there's a witness he says
Wow tell me does it look like a little
bit like it's it's this you know you
won't see us on your head and one of the
happiest days of your life and it didn't
bother you but been a shiv above the
waste cities that got old into will you
you feel funny
you need a psychologist not a rabbi
something wrong I told up of course in a
very friendly fashion and you know and
he was shocked this is you know what you
have a point
a few weeks later he came to show them
which cities himself today but Hashem is
channel Shabbos
Chantell mitzvahs his kids are going to
Jewish day school because again he
realized that he had nothing really but
he looked down at everything religious I
remember one time I a Russian stood and
brilliant student was in their dental
school she don't have I I love I love
what I hear but I have a problem what
the promises I have a spiritual scowl so
what's that he said that it was what I'm
in the Soviet Union and every time a
kidney class made a comment about
religion spirituality it was ridiculed I
push it I can't get over it did not
become this because it okay he struggled
with it it's right
[Music]
and then you have something which is
moved you know that sounds logical also
but it's already I'm a drag one step up
one time I took a group of students from
the States for visit I take it to a big
achiever
well in the Ishrat machine and there was
a few hundred bottom learning learning
mother was very beautiful I talked
and it was in the evening and then they
wanted they took the the jackets and the
heads and they learned muscle before
malov and that they would have me Molly
so they came to my soil they searched my
soul the walls were shaking and then
comes to Anessa and they shake and this
so one of them says to me and tells me
says oh this is crazy people are
fanatics what they do they say mr.
Schock albania and they and they scream
and it's that's Judaism Meister stuck it
looks crazy for someone who doesn't know
the vendor say told him listen I mean
it's really I don't know anything about
sports but my kids start explaining
about 2000 times about baseball other
image I don't know exactly what it is
but I know one thing I know that they
explained me that there's a guy this is
a big deal of that it's a big guy and he
holds this market by partition this this
bad and there's another guy and they
thought yes desert said it and something
called a home on home on that's the home
I guess that's what the they live so the
home on okay
so I talked what happens when somebody
hits a home run oh are you gonna ask he
says says I know because my kids told me
my kids did go to this big job gave
assets and the zetz mob is that it the
floor magnetic I said who's this guy
would you want your daughter to go out
with him this no so what all the
professors in your college about the
game and they stood like little giddy
should I mean that doesn't bother you
what's happening
those guys are speaking to God you know
do you understand it's not to Donald
Trump
Oh Obama they stink to God you know it
means the excited
the after the shock a solid aa
you you may not get it because you know
I'm holding them but you're laughing at
them because they do something crazy you
do much crazy of it okay yeah I'll give
you now an example of more philosophical
I was asked to give a class of Michigan
I am I I'll do it early I did it and I
started to learn pickles so much in
Kyoto and sin I explained them things
but relatively well sometimes very well
and then we got into a mission I'll tell
basic hi Misha be stumble called
Mohammed vegetable Oh Makana whoo ha ha
Meem call our basis I'm a Charlotte
salsa for you why you should have seen
the room it was bubbling the walls like
was like caving in and one young lady
gets up and she says to me bye-bye if
that's what Judaism is deserve our women
I'm out of here for good and she starts
walking on ok so free country I said
lady I'm gonna ask you are you are you a
liberal I said okay so liberal people
usually give a chance to the other one
to respond all right what do you want me
to respond to your criticism nothing
don't sponsor says aren't a liberal oh
yeah okay yeah what do you have to say
this is nothing I'd like to ask one
thing come back come back to you open up
the book and yoga didn't you translate
so nice
intelligence just it sound more awful
than before I mean listen did you did
you analyze did he think of what he's
saying to home to the sages Spector
again intelligent oh she says I said two
men or two women
two men I said so why you're getting
upset all the men should walk down here
what was there to do with you I said
listen you know what the boy the boy
means excessive you know a husband comes
home at night and he has excessive talk
seha anyone that knows the malla knows
that Sakai is always a light talks he
had a hole in him you know so yeah small
talk he comes home and he speaks to his
wife small talk notstung malbet
excessively what does it mean as far as
this outlook how does it look at his
wife little kids based on mo
if you mistreat your wife like that that
means that you're bummed but they should
have it's inappropriate behavior this of
Charlotte's mother so for you I said he
belongs in hell he target belongs in
hell a guy who has that view of women
belongs in hell you don't think this
girl stayed in I'm telling you said
nicer sugar aye aye she ended the
semester I didn't have a say I dealt
with many students I didn't have him
this young lady for a long term maybe 15
or 20 years a few years ago Kippur I get
a note and note I am so I don't know if
you remember me La Bajada you know some
things stick to you I says I I feel
guilty I didn't tell you what happened
after the semester I went to his
religious kyboots from there I ended up
in the very line and then I moved back
to California I married a religious guy
with three children and we are very very
happy and it's all because of you she
sends me a check for the organization
whatever I so later on actually when I
came here something else with the
speaking one of the emotion
I was speaking and this lady comes over
to me she's alright remember way many
years yes that's me just three children
while Basham flume and her husband it
was a number little thing because people
it was heavy action was really
intellectual she really she thought she
thought for sure that the Sade's of
thing saying horrible things and a
similar experience in similar expense in
downtown Detroit lawyers I spoke though
and also a lot about so I got the
Mishnah it's a mystical shot valium
theater baladeva Dharma lamma lamma ha
I know ah I was in Jamaat
I finished explaining this and one of
the lawyers a young brilliantly sesame
rabbi that's horrible
he says you mean to tell me that I have
to behave because somebody is like a
mushy on me all the time
he watches well it's like I'm in jail
and everything I have no privacy
everything that that's what Julian says
I said listen everybody can have their
own perspective but let me share with
you my perspective on it
sittin know John Kennedy was a very
popular president many many books were
written about young Kennedy but who
wrote the books people wanted to make a
quick buck or whatever how well did they
know John Kennedy spend with him an hour
probably not two hours five hours awake
exaggerated right so but they'll all
about him and very shallow this is
imagine you I was so prominent in the
eyes of God that he
wants to see everything you do he wants
to listen to every crouch to every every
problem that you have the whole Marcela
by 7f you know who the author of your
book is the creator of the universe nine
New York Times you know quick buck
hungry fellow you know can you imagine
da Mala Mala mean car no the elevation
I'm Allah I in wife was all my 707
aestivum that means that the ateb a
leader how can you sing if you
understand our planet you are you just
can't even come to sin so again the same
same reaction people when they are being
given a different perspective
then they gain something which is is
really may change the entire life give
you another example
[Music]
okay tell you I'm sore all night you
said something terrible last night what
did I say said learned as I'll say this
oil amazi boys hey now said but also
kalila the light a light it's easy to
pronounce her this entire enterprise he
says and then you told us all the time
how prominent we are we are the eyes of
a shin-hye ever damn lama by Fellini
viola the center of the universe if the
entire creation of the world was nothing
but a hat Hashem how important can I be
I'm talking about the galaxy's magnitude
is unbelievable
so coach Bob puts a Michelle reminder
system
see something how old 18 how much money
did your parents really investing is so
far not figured maybe 20,000 tuition for
trips okay I said oh no something do
parents love you oh my gosh my mother
every time I were a little culture comes
after me the chicken soup and they sure
they love me they said I won't ask a
question again it's it's an
unconventional question but being that
you triggered me I said I'll ask you
some very perhaps inappropriate question
what is it
I said tell me how much effort did your
father exert in order to cause your
creation nothing doesn't normally happen
so what he loves you right what does one
have to do with other the the the fact
that was not difficult to create
something says that there's less love
because both who loves you because of
who you are you're part of him yeah
helical I tell him and I came senator
Kim what suppose well what kind of
course loves you what does it have to do
with the effort of creation and he got
it again this guy young man actually
lives in Modine and we spoke about the
category of philosophical questions
questions really need to be taken
seriously people really deserve
attention and they definitely react very
badly when you shrug them off it's
inappropriate it's not it's incorrect
and I think it's very very long too one
of the things are much there's a simple
thing something simple thing about
people wanna events us I mean I I have
this thing in college campuses where I
speak just about you
we go in you know Michigan I know that
one so else's pleasure started I go to
other colleges also anyway so there was
about 40 kids in my man in this program
and would you know place where the whole
thing started and somebody asked me a
question not exactly what was and I
responded and I by the way throw in
something that I occasionally said that
if I feel that it sorry flu and I said
yeah give me any intellectually honest
atheist you know pill this problem
within 20 minutes or less
sounds a little elegant I but after they
say sometimes controversial things and
it gets the attention so I continued
with the closet I forgot about it after
the class six guys two girls and for
guys their poetry says rabbi you said
something really very bad some twenty
minutes or less you can you can prove to
us there's a gun I said give me 20
minutes
yeah sit down and so I I guess what I
always use again I don't know but I'm
sure this is all of this to you but it's
AII I use a muscle of museum with a
beautiful painting and and I make them
think of I said that it's beautiful
thing and the guy is very impressed by
it and then he asked the curator of the
guy in in the museum what's what's the
history some some say that there was
none before picture it was something
that a rich man went to paint his house
was his hobby I know the protect his
carpet he put a canvas on the entire
room I started painting when it launched
and it's the cat came in and there was
saw a mouse on the other side and went
through all the containers of manga and
became this painting the guy came out
running he so he held the commotion and
he looks at and he says wow this is nice
my cat did this animal and therefore I
decide to donate it to the museum so ask
them how many think it's it's rational
so they're all this government I can I
go I don't wanna bore you with the
details
the bottom line is they say everybody
says no it's not logical not you know so
set them you are all saying listen to
what he's saying now because I'm gonna
ask you more questions okay next
question ask them tell me who is more
basically you said that this thing looks
planned the eyes are in the right place
that knows that I place everything is so
basically saying this this is really a
plant this is something engineered so I
want to ask a question a person the
little person the subject of this
painting is he more engineered them to
picture us a thousand times of course
he's a lab where you eat and those
enzymes and vitamins is a brain
hopefully and he has yeah yeah of course
so I said to them I don't understand you
guys
professor stand in front of 400 students
in college and says to you all the
stupid things about the old everything
came out of explosion and you not with
your heads what are you a bunch of
idiots you can argue about God who God
is what a guy would say a lot of things
I'm not answering anything just one
basic question is the designer to this
design if the answer is no then I know
what to do with you then intellectually
dishonest I I was 10 minutes in the
discussion and the head guy or the globe
says to me rabbi I'm not so sure I'm an
atheist anymore so I don't thank you
very much you saved me 10 minutes 10
minutes of the conversation so you know
by the way it is actually about two
three months ago a young man came to me
initially now and to my great surprise
he says rubba remember me look a little
familiar is I'm the guy I think the guy
did ask you this question and then after
that like I changed my whole vision line
she became to me for Shabbos but a whole
bunch of other students
but again it's not I don't want to point
out the great success stories I planted
failures
I just purpose of me sharing those
things we feel peace to know that people
are really bothered with legitimate
questions and you have to relate to them
in a general way and to study and to
know how to had to answer them the the
next point was the unknown the dosage
the dosage again the dosage suddenly
again a kid on campus man services rabbi
I see what you don't but it's really not
fair because you are just presenting
Judaism in the most beautiful way but
you don't tell them about difficult
things that you have to fast on Yom
Kippur
tell us about you know there's a lot of
things that you don't tell him you have
a good point I told the story of so that
we mourn getting sonic sonic festive for
the earth and then we attack him out and
he asked the the Roman Emperor to be for
three things and they gave one of the
things was to heal up sorry Moses had to
heal him they came to give him a little
nutrients and then they look at the
silver and he finally the elder was able
to I said I understand the man fasted
for forty years a mistake
was over by it's gonna kill him I said
exactly listen to what he said I said in
the Holocaust right after the Holocaust
fortune my mother knows bergen-belsen so
you know the stories the people were so
frail that they had to you see the
pictures you saw the pictures so the
American soldiers were very very
monastic that they felt terrible ah
journalist and they gave him chocolates
and they gave him steaks and thousands
died after the Hocus they never made it
through they died because of wrong
nutrition I said do you know why deal
with I deal with and make sure that feel
spiritual for three four five seven six
you want me to give him a spiritual
stake I could do it I could kill the
but that's what you want me to do I give
him small right now if somebody asks me
a question directly never I can say
Hashem never ever did I not share within
the truth if somebody I said directly a
question you have to respond of course
in in a wise way United but you know out
to be Masonic could say shield and
perhaps this is a very important message
I always in the office it says heavy
metal metal shalalala Korean oh you're
following the weight of Shaolin right
love peace I'm good
I said why are we doing this to have
long Aveeno you should step every bit of
it it was the first one to in the core
of the world right shot is I've la
Movida was McAuliffe non-jews I've Rama
V no one of them kind also more advanced
I wanna claim is the first one who was
become Jews in I wanna claim has I'll
say ballast missionaries it says via
asking now and Milani solution has that
one understand when you do kill vivec
him mallamma Chile she no love America
and he was I of Sholem who make
carvanha terror he was McCarran to turn
not vice versa the famous story from
becoming etske
he came they wanted him to an education
institution there's a kindergarten and
in the kindergarten oh and I wanted my
kind of the kids so kids are very young
and not so tall so they put the mezuzah
in the bottom part of the of the
entrance so the kids can come in the
morning in kiss the mezuzah the vehicle
came in and he saw this it was what is
that he says what get a letter get a
child let the kid come to the tailor and
not the tailor lowdown to him
what a beautiful lesson ok I think we're
running out of time so in conclusion I
just think that if we spend time
focusing and understanding and studying
this is something awesome
elephant is a beautiful job I come here
to teach and there's young people young
rabbis come and they ask the questions
and they think about it the next week
they ask questions about last week's
sticks sometimes in in any it's like any
you're dealing but didn't a fascist
you're dealing here with marriage
Delaney for short
you know first class and in and and and
and blows my mind how many times we were
going to kill they have no clue what
they're doing I had I must say but I I
told I love you I love what you
extensible but change change your
message
don't say that every Jew can do kill the
it's not wrong but say that
every just can't illegal kill the
every Jew should have in his
pocket a business card off a Macau
someone and also the ends of the
questions I agree with you we have to
have a campaign but I have seen people
who manage they had no clue no idea and
they did more damage than good
that's not a way to do it Al Capone team
I think that the oil um here is people
that don't really need much to hear from
along the Comets I wish you all at
slaughter in your new journey and bezels
bar I can be any help in the future I
would really love to I believe in the
cause thank you very very much
