Shalom Aleichem everyone,
and welcome to the most enjoyable evening
you'll ever have at JFK
many of the families in this room have become
members of the foundation,
the results as you can see, have been massive
projects, incredible undertakings
to see the world somewhat the way
the Rebbe sees the world,
to be touched, to be inspired, to be taken by
the Rebbe's love, by the Rebbe's perspective
I have grandchildren who have never seen the Rebbe,
and this is a massive connection to the Rebbe for them
I hear my kids, I hear them
talking with their kids
the things he said are very relevant to them,
they're trying to do what the Rebbe wants, today
As our partners, we would like to show you
the fruits of your investments
the 1,703 interviews for the
My Encounter with the Rebbe project
the first print sold out immediately
now in its 21st year, Living Torah is the
crown jewel of JEM
that's 2,013 new families
watching the Rebbe together
in the past year alone,
the project grew to 77 schools
there's a massive difference in quality
and it's organized, easily accessible
we've had almost two and a half million views
in just the past three months alone
I'd like to share a little bit of where we're headed
and this is where I think the real
exciting action is going to be
this is Tanya,
Maamorei Dach of the Friediker Rebbe,
the Rebbe's own list of letters from his father
we have at this point 25 years of content
so 10 years ago we set out to figure out
what we're going to do
how to index the videos in a way that they'll
be meaningful to people
we came up with an idea called
good night my child
a story and a beautiful timeless moment with
the Rebbe, pre-selected for children
people have dollars of the Rebbe or videos
of themselves with the Rebbe
we've actually been able to find when people
come from seeing the serial numbers
really it's one big technology stack
he passed away on Ches Tishrei 5750
the Rebbe provided us with emotional health
emotional state of mind
a feeling of validation, a feeling of belonging,
a feeling that every human being should feel
that we might have not had not have had another source how to get it
when a person is in the rut,
the Rebbe picks you up
every dollar that we raise is fuel to help us bring the Rebbe
to more audiences, in more meaningful ways
thank you very much let's keep it going
