middle of May talk about it in June talk about at the end of June why 10 9 so the truth of the matter is I was in wood for free sushi now that's not really white hey but the truth of the matter is that anytime you have something very important something essential of great importance important see you need to plan it out it's gotta be strategize you have to have certain tactics because it's always gonna be stumbling blocks trying to put the stop you to prevent you from reaching that goal and therefore you got a plan and pleat and properly to make sure that your project is successful and therefore tonight bears out the shame we're gonna give you certain pitfalls that occur during the summer and passage and we're gonna give you the antibiotics the adults the remedies how to solve these problems ok everybody ready mess of the team you know today I was I took a test for the FDNY not worry I'm not gonna become a fireman take it easy beautiful for you you don't have to take a test ok I have to take a test to get certified I'm not sure what the certification is but I think I'm certified ok and they told me about it on Thursday so that means that third from Thursday to today to study a 46 47 page pamphlet ok now I gotta tell you something I was in high school for four years I was in school before that for nine years I don't think I ever study for a test in my life but uh gosh am I always did well always did well I always know who to sit next to but that's ok ok so here I am with two days and I don't know how I'm gonna take this test and you have to take it because he'd be working in a school you have to have the certification okay what does that mean it's anyway I think I did well anyway I used my regular methodology if you just put C on all the answers you probably piss no you guys never did that no what happened and that's a tease good might be why I had to take some regions four or five times but it worked eventually because anything that you want to do that's greatly important that's essential you have to prepare for and the summer is no different you know it's an amazing thing but there are many people that grow the entire year the entire they're sending nicely they're working themselves improving themselves improving that mean thought they're learning it's wonderful feel levels that they attain are insurmountable and then comes the summer and something happens they lose that status and they plunge and they fall it becomes abysmal it's unbelievable how much these people lose within two months and the question is why how can it be that I went to class every Monday night yeah yeah it I wish right every Monday night and I gained so much from those classes and I worked on myself I improve myself I improve might be thought they became a benevolent more kind and more wise I became what's new I how could it be that in one summer I could lose it all so I want to quote to you bit of the gem and y'all could see money it career this yet good showing it's beautiful ready your coach uli says ara Taura what I captain says the following in your tarts Vinnie your mind oz vodka1 I captain says if you were getting me for one day you can or me for one day I ignore you for two days by the way you haven't one day ever take a look at a kid and the kid that's very well in school and the summer goes by and as the summer goes by he comes to school and he remembers nothing from when he learned nothing's like he didn't go to school when you know all that tuition money where'd it go well I don't you know I mean robbery Dennis I could eat without tuition money you know I mean nice big dinners I could have unbelievable when it'll go the answer is if the kid doesn't learn for two months so but LM says wait a second you left my turret for two months so the equation is killing me for one I leave you for two so God says you have to turn up for one month I even knew you for two you'd leave the Torah for two months I abandon you for four so come September that's the ninth month you're six months behind your back in March unbelievable and the same thing happens to us you know summer is a very busy time very busy take a look at the class over here on Monday nights in the summer because every Monday night there's a wedding every Monday night okay so uh shallots yawn what do you have available Tuesday no no I mean Monday night okay call your Monday night right by the way if you want no problem make your wedding here Monday night I'll speak okay unbelievable that's funny is that nice okay and then comes the three weeks and rebeis e2 he says both I seen the place is gonna be packed and sure enough nobody comes so you saw her at I mean cooling down harassing calling people and you start saying what second what happened to you know Rabbi I was invited to a barbecue Oh people know what I'm talking about me my friends are taking me out for barbecue first of all you did to grow things number one you went to a barbecue on Monday night number two you didn't invite me that's not nice but the answer I was gonna find a way to disrupt your regular schedule so that not only do not gain during the summer but you lose double from what you're already accrued tell me already it well you already attained and it's a horrible horrible thing you know because when it comes to tell you got to maintain every day every day it's got to be a maintenance a know what it's like diving okay anybody know what I'm talking about darling you got a diet every day there's a person I just spoke to today came for a little guidance and she was holding two cups two cups she had one cup that was a smoothie so I said one second smoothies are very good she goes yeah I said what's in the other Cup she's water I said what why do you need to drink water when you're drinking a smoothie she says the smoothie taste horrible that's it all in a second let me get this three you went out and you bought the smoothie yes and the smoothie taste horrible yes why'd you buy you have to lose weight also for weight you dedicated that's you after the way you have to be when it comes you still have the water over there I see has it over I know she's not even the word of it right but you have to be just as dedicated with your spirituality because it's more valuable now you're gonna say one second rabbi it's vacation do I really have to go and learn all the time in vacation is it so important for me to upkeep my spirituality I wanna rest our relax I'm not Freddie I've been working the entire year it's time for relaxation and I need to tell you today the pursuit can tell him right plot out on the light Timmy not mushy but no fish why so what so it's all perfect it hits a spot let me ask you a question raise your hands not yet take it easy if you ever went on a vacation and you came back and it just missed the mark you don't feel so relaxed please reason never happened no everyone here goes on vacation in their dojo okay one second wat right no no it means it didn't satisfy you totally anybody yeah you're easy and one of the time I'll think about an hour we'll get everybody up there how could that be how's it possible I went on vacation i sat down I will put up the book I was reading I don't why don't I feel relaxed so the Villa Mella says because you're missing your soul vacation your satiating you're feeling you're satisfying the body and that's great it's amazing but your neshama starving you know summers lacking because what I'd like to mean I miss even a fish that's what keeps the soul satiated and if we are going on vacation and yes it's great he a few nights down that's one the way you get to drink your horrible smoothies it's great but make sure that just as much as you feed your body you gotta make sure you feed your soul as well well let's give you a little bit of an inspiration shall we why is it so important to learn everyday besides for the elation and the spiritual growth and the way I'm going to ascend in my real yosity give me another reason rabbis doing please inspire me tell me why it's so important to learn everyday what is it so I want to quote to you I mean touching about you know love this barrage comes with a Cinnabon and says the following the pursuit Christ in entailing call Allah by Bakura but Elam's voice is what strength comes into bolivian says what happened the Iceni and art scene I listen to this what do you mean bit co-op to touch it it said co-op might pick ax hole but it was voice cups and resonates with his might doesn't say that it says God's voice resonates with my good strength what's going on here so says Libby levy pick a horseshoe Cola harder hot whooping sell stood at Mount Sinai they were standing in hearts day night you know what happened but L I'm spoke one other winds and everybody else I don't know was standing there heard their personal message they call everybody heard a different message everybody something else the message that was intended for emptier unbelievable are you gonna ask me everybody is that really possible how can it be putting on cops and he speaks one time and everybody's 600,000 man 2 1 2 million people each one of them was able to hear a different message so it was a little perplexing for me until last week because last week I was on my phone I mean I believed it but I understand it I was on my phone all the time I take a look and someone sends me a message and the message says lo o Yanni I said Johnny what what I mean Yanni morley on e I said I said what are you talking about could you stop this deal what's lorelei Yanni what are you talking about she says press play so press play and what's under here whirl whirl whirl sorry down low she goes what are you talking about it's Yanni I said something only he is I said it's no she goes it's Yanni I said I'll tell nothing I'd find out for my wife I'll talk with you I'd say no let me take this down she's joking here they're playing a joke I take the phone and I bring it down to my kids and I say kids just tell me Laurel or Yanni my kids uka me like they always do like I'm from Mars I just listen and they say he's saying Yandy Yandy I said do you talk to the girl who texted me this they said what he told me I said he's saying Morel said daddy could you please stop joking with us and we're fighting war Leon E local yagi because it's possible the Pinilla of spoken hearts tonight and everybody heard the message that was meant for them but not when Thompson says every time you learn Torah that's what I think you're learning the clear thing you went to the words that the rabbi is saying is God's message it's transmission that you were supposed to hear it's for you God's sending you a personal message and that message is different every day it's a different transmission a different piece of advice a different way to improve your life and it's there for you every day to listen to says the deepest time of crime from for watching a wonderful thing he'll climb from was he comes and he says any problems you have in life any problems you want to get rid of any problem you want to solve and he's stressing up on your mind anything that's weighing on your conscience and you want to solve these problems go and wearing a little tuna and watch that butter lamb talks I really what I was trying to tell you that's what we have to talk about so if you're missing a message one day which has the potential to change your life just solve your problems to teach you how to get that raise or how to have serenity at home tranquility harmony with your husband how to raise that child how to get the job you're always looking forward to and you ignore the message how horrible is that message every day I'm talking doesn't matter if it's winter or summer we have to make sure that within every day of our summer we listen to God's message we let those messages ring loudly in our ears and pure sell heart and penetrate the soul and it's such an important idea and appointed concept that is one problem that you can count in the summer that's what I could easily solve but there's another one you know anybody who ever goes away people go to deal if you go to deal raise your hand okay you go to deal no we don't have so many deal people great you better be here every Monday night anyway some people go to the bungalows some people go you know every many times you have many families sharing a home you'll have the mother-in-law you'll have this son with his wife daughter-in-law you'll have their brothers you'll have their kids you have the cousin that comes in on Sunday you have as first seconds mother's dog that once Anwar shows up and it becomes very tense and many times there's a lot of discord and family separates many times permanently because of that setup and that situation and my question is how do I avoid that if I have to be with my mother-in-law entire summer what is the methodology what's the secret that's going to ensure did I make it through unscathed untainted and unhurt and some people are gonna be good now they want to hear this so I quote you again manometer rip shebang

friend will make peace with you and the rabbi's right who's the enemy who are we talking about who is that enemy your mother mom that's always a good thing my mother will move to deal early your wife now that joking you did even your wife as much fighting is going on but if you're learning torn-out you'll have peace you want to foster good relationships with your parents share with them a moment of Torah you want to foster with your kids a loving relationship share with them a moment of Tona you want to share with your husband a healthy relationship share with them a moment of Torah ladies when you go home tonight take out your calendars we know you'll have calendars okay and right where it says manicure or cross it out and write it's what I cure that's cool now I write like that toward

your marriages it's gonna make peace with you in your parents with you when you're in your our partners with you in your neighbor share that moment of Torah but do it every day don't falter don't fail every day have that moment of Torah every moment every day have that one inspiring word and I will end with one story there was a lady who emailed me from Austin Texas she emailed me I get emails from all over the world I get emails from South Africa I get emails from I don't know one Manchester from London I get from the Canada okay I get I'm so really from China they'll be very cool to read the change now okay and she tells me rabbi my daughter is dating a and take it easy right and I don't know what to do because they're engaged to be married what do I do so I turn turn and I said okay well there's two things one I don't want to say on camera and the other I said is make sure that in your house at all times Torah is playing in the background your daughter comes from hanging out with Julio whatever his name is and she comes in I don't know where she was and all of a sudden the other thing shall think not to touch of them and every day there's another class and another she rolled and somebody else talking to read Torah that's gonna bring peace to your home that's gonna be a tranquility to your family so she tried it and weeks later the daughter left the and you could say rabbi was it that I don't know but I know that's the recipe for peace it's sorta a part of your summer is there gonna be a daily activity you know I know people that every day if they don't go jogging they can't function they gotta go jogging they got to do it in the winter in the summer in the spring in the fall jogging is part of they came jog outside they jog on the treadmill they came jogging on the treadmill either jog in place I love those people who ever see those people all right the guys wore these running is running finally hits all shabak weight so take it easy no dogs in please what are you jogging a place to keep the momentum go and keep the momentum going keep the blood run and keep the bug for week I'm jealous I'm lucky if I could run from you to the end of the show but in tonight you gotta keep the blood flowing keep the momentum going listen to what God has to tell you every day understand that those are pearls of wisdom that I say misgiving straight to you don't miss a day of those messages don't miss a day where you have the ability to make peace in your home to share a moment of kedusha with your family and if we utilize every single day in such a manner then when comes the end of the summer I think God says not you left me one day I leave you two here stayed with me every day I'll stay with you double so I'm gonna give you all a bit aha may I give you a better hat you know okay that was a very easy yes number one you're not sewing and there's a good place at the Shem that all of you girls are gonna make a nice effort to put in even a minute every day of Tana even a minute to hear what God has to tell me where's at the Shem every message in here from Hashem should be a message of happiness a message of guidance a message of peace and tranquility and there's that the shame maybe a message to figure out what kind of guy you should marry by the way if you want to know the message tonight I got like rabbis doing nothing it is okay I'll get this kid how's that - no no no though I'm in swear that one by the way not one person that I went to that and you're not talking that there's other same God to fulfill every wish of yours that over amen I think there's so much ladies things [Music] [Applause]
