credit where credit is due he is a motivator he's such a big person in so many different things but I have a personal Deb of gratitude for him and learning your that's why we're doing this now for for the for [Music] for [Applause] for fore [Applause] God [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] are [Music] second okay fine good evening mother what is supp to be here before we begin we're going to do letter before we begin I just want to reflect for a moment do what are we doing here whatman [Music] do I ask 10 years ago if someone said to you who is the Zer if someone said to you who is the Zer how many people in this room could raise their hand and say I know who the Zer is I had a story personally with who was just s a few days ago I was called by YY churns who lives over here in forche an old C of mine he said we have on Friday mornings a z she our mag RAB pillar is going away for a couple of days can you please give the shear I said what's a zar Shear what is that he says that's a very popular sa for us I didn't hear about it says but anyway but if you need someone to give she and it's an opportunity to teach Tyra fine I'll do it I walked in at 9:15 on a AR shabas I think it was and the person who greets me at the door is holding I'm holding the he looks in my hand he looks at theband theband River he looks at the and he says what is that we didn't know said we didn't know what we didn't know what it is today if you ask a what's the Zer I think today we're holding that most people know who the zerim is hundreds of thousands their V how I was just in a taxi my family and I went away for a few days the driver picked us up on the windshield is a on his dashboard say I learn it every day he says I don't always understand what it says but I read it I've seen a lot of you said to me I personally one of my children got engaged a few years ago on on the yard side of the Zar so the promise that the Zer had which is that it I don't have any kids he said I passed away he had one son we when that son was nter so he said if you learn my safer you're my kid those are your children you teach somebody they're your children so Zer said if you learn my safer then I am going to be your ta you're my child and I'm your and I will and I'm gonna help you and that's and it's unbelievable so think about it he was nifter 245 years ago if he he would have been so popular 245 years ago like other SP that are popular everybody would have known who he is that there kind or maybe a handful of people nobody knew but today he became a household name in CLA what does that say to us what sten then it shows that a Cas is the cas to the cash to the is it's for I it's forever and a person thinks I'm doing in this world I don't know what I'm doing I'm learning I'm making a difference look at the Zar Story look how for couple of hundred years kind nobody knew who he was and now look how we come here every Thursday night every Thursday night there's a group can 30 40 people and the sits and learns they come from pic they come from here they listen they learn and the shear goes to different places and whose words are we learning the Z's words the gor says that sikim are known aser they're known aser we say in in the ground when I say over the words of a sadic then his lips start mumbling his lips you say his words his lips are moving we have a here all of you together we have we don't let him sleep afternoon when you want to go to sleep in the are making noise you say and a person's in the ground he doesn't want to sleep we that the he's not sleeping because we're keeping him awake and that's a big for all of us honor your site state that the comes back to the Goof the day of the yard site is a day of the person move from this world to the next world today all of you here who are eating and enjoying the food and you may and if you washed you're gonna bench and everything you did is today with that let's learn some the gar says sad aad who is who has left aad who is lost his has lost it's a story I'll give you a a person had a very precious Diamond it was in his pocket and he lost it and he's looking everywhere what happened to my diamond where is it where is my [Music] mar let me ask you a question says the gamar the Diamond is lost to who is the Diamond when it's lost still a diamond a a diamond doesn't stop being a diamond whether it's in your pocket or whether it's not in your pocket who loses when the diamond is lost of course only the owner the diamond stays a diamond the diam doesn't change the owner doesn't have it when a isic is a diamond he remains as complete and a brilliant he as brilliant when he's with the door as when he's not with the door gives a says here wherever it is it's still a diamond the sadic whether it's here or whether it's not here that doesn't change what however it Los who loses the other the B loses the door loses because the door doesn't have thead anymore his doesn't have him so the himself is a loss to his generation not to him asks the it's also not good for them number one how is it only bad for the if the says so it's how could you say that the door lost something on the contrary when AIC passes away there was the was so we got a had a basic element question is a sadic passing away good or bad how do we reconcile this two Spirits in as he always learns with let's open up this question with question which he quotes over here I'll give you the full a sadic is lost and nobody a nobody feels it nobody takes it to heart people who are gather together but which means they don't [Music] understand because of the bad has thead been taken away this is a [Music] in says so the says that when a passes away it's a terrible thing but doesn't must say goes away so the asked the about how could you say that the sadism are go when it says it's bad and he said let me answer that as we often do with is itad being good or bad on the one hand it's a Kap on the other hand it's bad but if it's a so it's not bad as he's asking but when so what's so terrible says a practical TS vs it's true that when a sadic passes away a new sadic comes but it does take a little while for that sadic is just born it takes a little while for him to grow up and be a sadic there's a potential sad he's a sadic in the making so the next generation will enjoy him but what about the generation that just lost that sa that's the first ter says the let's see it inside again like we said before we don't want to let the sleep we want to say his words we keep him awake he's still small he'll only be able to teach the Next Generation but it's only his generation loses the whole world loses wouldn't they be able to do more so understand why you're telling me that even though the sadic is going to have another tadic replacement it's going to take a while but you're saying the D is no let me explain if you ask he wants comes to this world doesn't want to come it doesn't want to come what does it have to come down to this world but once it's here it doesn't want to leave my son bear bell bear said to my son when you come to fber in English it means you cry when you come because it's so hard to get used to being here but after you get used to it you cry when you go away you don't want to leave you cry when you come the is forc to come into this world he doesn't want to come into this world the baby's crying when the comes in because once was here and it did now it's crying because I'm already here already and I'm hoing around all the he's not going to be able to anymore but to say that thead is missing something honestly he's not missing who's lived his life the way wants him to is like a diamond a person who lives his life L right a person wasn't able to do everything he wants to do I want to remind the said it over many years ago a med in the med says like this the years of work are good whether it's a little bit or whether it's there were two workers one worker who worked for the king till he was 70 years old he started working at the age of 20 and he worked till the age of 70 50 years and then he retired and there was another worker who worked for the king started the age of 20 and right after he started he passed away was nft a person would think NE such a person he was NI at such a young age he had so much to accomplish with him and says from my perspective I know you would have worked for 50 years like your I know that you would have been is for me there's no difference between the 70y old and the 20y old because it's I who took you away if it's it's a little bit or if it's you know why that a person who's in how much a person accomplishes that's already but the and that's the words of says if I know that your intentions were to do and to learn and do outs I'm going to consider didn't want to die because he wanted to do a you're not losing anything you're not losing anything I'm considering it like you did it let's understand thead is lost and people don't realize if you're telling me now that the person who the people who really lose out is the what does it mean what do it mean they don't know they're the ones are losing out and then it says which means that they do know because they're called ask how do these two one to the other and listen to the he says I'm skipping to the ter bottom of the page page there are three different reasons possible reasons possible reasons of why is let's go through them one by number one he was a he should have lived why was he nter the nation the door the generation wasn't because of that he's one two could be nothing to do with the door nothing to do with the door say time 99 years old already come out 100 years old M says may a person's lifespan is consider we said the like the just had the is compared to a person bu is 100 says the a person's years that's why the Mion stops at 100 you can ask me a you give a 120 we'll have to answer but the Miss stops at 100 okay now there's sometimes a person is there's sometimes a person's sometime AIC is on a good streak but there's something that could become a challenge takes away before anything goes wrong he doesn't say where he gets it from but he says there are three different ways a person can pass away that before it should go away as a winner let's learn the [Music] what does it mean what do the people say after thead passed away maybe it was this time nothing to do with us we didn't do it because of me he should be why should you say that even if they're gonna make him and they'll talk about how great he was be nothing to do with [Music] us they don't think about it that's what the says they get together to be but you you have skin in the game he's your he's your you if you gave good the will protect you because a bad could come and here's the bottom lineah says the [Music] there's a key if a CLA takes it to heart and changes because of the that passed away then his was a for the D and there was cha there was Chua and there was a kapar but if we don't take it to hearts and we just say it was his time then we lose an opportunity we have an opportunity now we have an opportunity knows what I'm talking about and if you don't let me share four or five days ago one of the super star Russ in America passed away who was 76 years old you know what happened he wasn't during he started this man with his Yeshiva do Yesa Yesa where El had a l of passion to it yeah you know when they make fun of those LIF vs and say that's the place this was the place this was that kind of place was a very serious place but they take it very serious I lived there for many years it was very serious but in a healthy way reband started this man he gave shear and he was n after he gave she went into the room was learning I spoke to one of his T he said he can for sure he was learning in the room somebody came in to see him at 5 o'clock spoke to him for a while left the next time that came in found that he already passed on if there something called gives a gives a kiss if you would ask I once heard from if you ask the mace if he's there he would say I was I started this and they said over this Le that he had learned with his K I think it was his son he told his son I have a in the next year I'm going to say it over that next year we're GNA have to wait from but he was ready to say over a had such a andb was such an energetic such an exciting such a Gish R I heard today that one of his made a and he attended the and four days ago he wrote a letter a four Page Letter to that t the time got in the mail today today means what does that say to us what does that say to us if we want to have a that his should be for the that means that we have to take the opportunity every single one of us to better ourselves one way or another to better ourselves probably in probably because that's what he stood for that means when you come to a sheer you have a phone I don't have my phone on it's in the car it's in the car maybe that's what you should do by ding put it away it's not on you if a person is ma upon himself he accepts AA to do a little bit of trua a little bit better it goes such a long way and then the of the sadic be becomes to you you make his into an the way we do it the every single week the way we do that R we have an opportunity CL lost a Russa who shaped the United States of America in Tyra his Yesa was the shame feris it was a like they call it here in America was a c lack of yes it was a place where the people learned Tyro with pride it was a place that people learned with they were proud to be Riverdale they were proud to be they were proud to be Associated to the Russ so even all of us who didn't learn in his and didn't have a direct he was a t of the of so many of so many so let us take this opportunity it's in M was just buried in Eric the family just came back now and are sitting shiva over here in America let's take this opportunity the opportunity of this she the Z now and take this opportunity to be his and to have a for ourselves and our families so we should sh
