Delilah every day there was someone at his side's tending to his needs food clothes walking shopping whatever it may be and what happens is he was a relatively healthy individual didn't need any

quizzes that could show that was that was apparently technique taking place the Rebbe who's this and he takes his Tommy's hand he starts giving a little stroke in their hand and he says what happens forget about it don't be mighty la jolla mace he probably lost his mind forget it ever happened that's fish on for you to talk to anyone about this Thomas had ready no problem but he walked out thinking yeah rabbis covering the parabolas you know forget about it that's what he's asking for before he's lived her and you tell me to forget about it the center 30th the ship everyone's praising him Tommy Clough so I'm going to add your bow head said sadaqa the whole nine yards and the grandson is eating himself up he mentioned a few other people but no one could answer just keep it quiet forget about he was his mind one day a group of elderly people walk in people that knew the grandfather the initiative for many years earlier each one tells over his story and then one of them tells the family I want to share with you an amazing thing that happened four or five decades ago when the Nifty was a young rub in the community there was posters all over town and there'll be a certain show of female dancers from the Philippines all over town and the young Robin iftar saw this and it was eating himself up knowing that many of his followers many of his youth will be going to the show so he in his Rebbetzin they decided to have to put an end to this what did they do they went to the bank and it took a major loan they went to the box office and they born obviously all the tickets came along the day of the event and you had a few buddy Dean that showed up you have five C's on your seats and maybe twenty thirty are being used mission accomplished but now mission accomplished but you have a few thousand dollar debt yes imagine you have $18 seats in the twenty six dollars you can just imagine how much money he now has he has to pay back to the bank so he and the Rebbetzin felt good but they were disturbed they went to this type were gong to ask them if what they did was was necessary do they have to keep you know putting themselves in trouble to stop these kind of things I'm happening and this type who told them very simply I can't tell you that this is your hova this your obligation to do but what I will tell you is that after 120 years take those tickets of this dancing show take you to the rebar show because that's your ticket to GaN Eden the grandson is sitting there and is like now I understand why my grandfather asked me for the tickets for this for this dancing show ladies and gentlemen you know when people reach a certain age a lot of things are floating around either in their thoughts in their minds a lot of things that go through their head we may not notice it but they're thinking about a lot of things what's gonna be was my wife my husband my children my friends my family my grandchildren my community everyone has no thoughts they think of allocating gifts like Ryback Rowan said potentially to their you know grandchildren maybe to an organization maybe to one of their friends that has children in toilet whatever it is he's had many thoughts maybe he even hinted it to his family at one point in the life of Abu Thai he doesn't take them up Chava I put it onto paper that's gonna be accepted by her hind by the law then you know what the grabber Chrome pointed out a lot of Mucklow kids didn't come out about it a lot of arguments I've hatred we see what happens is families of Jimmy's role where families are torn father could have wished he could've said something now but it's ready too late wife I would tie this initiative rabbi zone is starting I'm sure he's done this for many years but give me a little push yes it's very uncomfortable yes to sit down and to talk and to write and to Simon to direct it's very uncomfortable but like they point to that it's much much worse when he goes up to sham I mean he sees what he left in this world cup o Joe so this is an amazing amazing initiative that's being put forth and something that everyone should really discuss freely at the right time with their loved ones when they're healthy and there's good walk of shame everything to be put down on paper like he said you could update update it every few years but it's gonna be much filled many many who but a lot of poor but that may happen hydrogel within families you know every crew landed off an island off in the same way you know I love I everything that grab so we'll be talking about today whether it's about these rules about autopsies they're going on a semi-log game whether it's about all the different things that are cremation has done hopefully everything we talk today should be a bra call of the town hopefully resolution should all be like that to see my chefs did K know they may not be Romania we should be seeing here's the may see me remain and all these things shouldn't be done but we have to realize we're living it all on my sphere have to make sure your fedoras shadows so if it's an audition if everyone could follow up every rubber zone we'll talk about this right now and take these these documents fill it out with your loved ones and we're only here bombers that when a person lifter from this world that he leaves Shalom in this role not hard to show them just like it's amongst our members yet up some hobbies okay like we said to see the big out sonic they may not be a manual I mean BAM [Applause]
