Battling Anti Semitism - Rabbi Yakoz Zev Smith

you got a the source of livelihood the rest of your life you don't have to work go and learn we bought a donkey and we found the treasure and shimon ban chateau was adamant wait a minute i bought a donkey i didn't buy a diamond go return it but rebbe it was sold as is it's ours and taysakum and this and that i didn't buy a diamond go return it and they listened to the rebbe i guess in those days people listened to rub on him and they went back to the arab and they gave him the diamond and he was flabbergasted you were turning it you didn't have to and he said these words and shatter an arab guy proclaimed you know what he saw he saw what every guy has to see that we are a chosen nation and we live with the greatest honesty and integrity and we are the chosen nation let me fast forward a few thousand years i'll tell you another story that i know personally if i'm just just had her palms 20 at the earth side this must this story must have been 28 years ago when he became 80. so the yeshiva made a they wrote a safe attire in his honor it was a major fundraiser and of course when this fundraising there are posters they put posters all over with this picture and about the event represent palm alasha was once walking home and she noticed that on her black and east seventh and could tell you road they put up a poster with his picture and she felt that violated the privacy of her neighbors after all it was a predominantly non-jewish black and she was very enraged that they could do such a thing how do you put a a poster for yeshiva on a gauesha block there's a public school there's a there was a church on that block and she thought herself tomorrow i'm going to tear this sign down it doesn't belong in a residential private area the next morning she goes out looking for the post and it's gone so i so she's happy someone tore her down but she still felt that she owes an apology to at least to a next door neighbor how could she do that even though it wasn't her doings and the next time she met the neighbor who i happened to have known because i used to walk her palm home they were a nice italian family they had a son and a lieutenant in the police department they had a german shepherd about this high that scared anybody who came in his vicinity and she says mrs so and i want you to know there was a sign up last night i didn't put it off we didn't put it up it was put it without our consent i was upset i was gonna tear down myself i guess someone else did it and the woman is smiling and smirking and she says you know who did it you know tore it down i did sir do you know why i tore it down we lived next to rabbi palm all these years and we never met a person like him and we look up to him and we always wanted to have a picture of him in our house and here it was so i tore it down it's hanging in my dining room could you imagine shamayim looking down and seeing an italian couple with the lieutenant son and the german shepherd this high arapah's pictures on the wall it's a true story that even happened but the message is that's a living is hashem and someone like that did not engender any any sin as akum if anything there was a respect of vero called hashem they could see them a certain godliness in a yeed and they wanted to emulate that and believe me that's the way to battle anti-semitism is to live the way it is supposed to live in all areas of life you know we hear the word kiddish hashem and we immediately associate that with those that made the ultimate sacrifice that died but there's another mitzvah perhaps greater and indeed once said this and he lived up to this he once asked an unusual question was the epitome of sad guys every broker he gave every filler that he he uttered was accepted by barayolam but as is known the orphan davin wanted to give his life he wanted to die and he would have him for that and that feeling was not accepted because the died of natural death rappamis why not why what did your buddhism accept that villa so he said something very moving in shamayim they pass skinned that the what a practical understanding of hashem we hear the word kid is hashem thank you and we immediately think about a person that dies like this hashem which of course is a great sacrifice but you know it's more effective you know it's a greater generator of quote shamayim when there's someone that's living at this hashem that a non-jewish neighbor could want to put a picture of you on the wall that's living hashem and you know something that's apostate in the torah we say three three times a day we have to assassinate hashem a total unconditional love a rather tall order how could the average person say he could do that says digimore and um you know what it means how do you do that not everybody is a care worker not everybody is a world-renowned speaker that could travel the world to promoting says the gemara person has to learn of course he has to be honest in business he has to be a polite courteous well-mannered person mahabrio is allah what do they say about him ashrae of shalim they tell you how fortune is the one that taught him torah how fortune is the rap the rabbi that taught him torah because look what torah does to a person and really that's every year's mission statement you look at the possibility and all of your offspring will become famous kohlre kireim yakiram whoever looks them will see kiheim zara bayer hashem they are the blessed children of the ubanishalam me and you and all of us our goal in life is to be a walking talking living quite shamayim navaminski episode once said heard this from eid who said i got into a taxi in manhattan and a puerto rican driver told me you people are the chosen nation so i said thank you very much we knew that but what prompted you to say that i'll tell you what just happened i just picked up another jewish fellow just before you and he saw tell me he has to go till so i was driving and a block of big manhattan blocked before he said stop let me off i'll pay you in full i said mister you said you want to go to the next block it's a long buck let me take you let me off now i'll pay you in full he says why he says look he pointed there was a train station and the train had just arrived and evidently people started coming out of the train station getting out and it tells the driver if you're going to take me the next block until you turn around you're going to lose these costs you lose a customer i'd rather you make another customer and i'll walk a block so the puerto rican turns to this year then anybody who thinks of the other guy that's the chosen nation that's the way we battle anti-semitism when we evoke a feeling of avastro that a guy is able to say heim zera vera hashem he told me you'd rather a one of the popular jamaican delivery boys from this neighborhood in flatbush once brought something to his house a package he goes rabbi can i ask you a few questions go sure albany ask he goes you know rabbi last week i got locked out of my van and you know i drive around that's my livelihood and i couldn't get in so someone a jewish person comes up and says you know i see you locked out you need help yeah sure i said well just scribble down this number call them they'll be hearing them and they'll help you i had nothing to lose i was desperate so i wrote i called this number like a minute or two later someone comes pulling up and they say sir you called oh you need help or we'll help you and they open the car so i turned them i said how much do i owe you he goes no no no we don't take money we are i don't know pronounce either have kaverima havayam we do this for free and they drove off so the jamaican delivery boy turns to my friend and goes rabbi is that legit because yeah yeah they drive around the hole they're helping people wow hey ask you another question rabbi okay he's like hello very patient he goes you know i drive around flatbush and i see those that solo cars driving back and forth that's legit i mean they don't take money no really they do it just to help another person so now he has to digest this information because rabbi could ask you one more question yeah if god has you guys why does he need the rest of us you know we're laughing and it's reminder saying that's why i sent you on this world that a guy won this why do we need if there are eden that are so outstanding in their devotion to another person they don't even know ko rei ai me akiram came zara bera hashem do you think that jamaican driver will be ever guilty of anti-semitism but you know we have to realize that instead of the arugula shame kochecha we have to substitute the bury banach and instead of this we have to substitute being honest perfectly honest in business because that's the kid is hashem that a certain sense is is more effective i once said this and i think it's an episode of thought i will praise hashem with my life with my traveling on the train and being courteous to the person sitting next to me at work in a bank when i meet the garbage man or the or the policeman or the mailman i'll be the first to greet them that's that's a yiddish attitude and i always say you know we hear about someone who's kool-aid torah kola tarakula so today that has been really pretty much limited you know someone knows the first four plot of the shiva shimazakis oh he's going to go in him but you know who in my mind is the personification of kala karakula but that's not enough why i think is the very essence called tarakula is the gemara in brachus it never ever happened that someone greeted zake first he was the first to greet every person even an anju and i wonder this man was called a torah he knew everything when did he have a moment to breathe i don't know but where did he see the non-jew where did he see the mailman or the the lonely non-jewish neighbor you know the answer it's not in spite of his learning it's because of his learning he was a living voice of he was a living covenant islam called this writes there is no greater mitzvah than kidnesh hashem he's talking of course about sacrificing one's life but we could say there's no greater mitzvah than ashira and then i understood it's not hard to understand we're taken out of mitzrayim to be living hashem when faced with that ultimate decision we have to give our lives hashem but if we're living in the safety of america then our mission and our redemption from israel was to be a living kid or syracuse you know i was once by a wedding it was during the dinner and they were they were playing dinner music and they said they was playing that song that beautiful song that women have cried their eyes out for generations davening for good children i should have children um and suddenly all the men started singing it first in a low tone also it was a spontaneous eruption of feelings that every person there i imagine the woman was singing the undertone but everybody was singing and davening with akainu the goddess children that will light up the world with their torah myself and i'm certain that many people have had themselves in mind let me also contribute with my life let me also make my my impression on this world let me also make a difference but i'm afraid most people thought well i can't do that i can't light up the world with my termites i'm just a simple little old me i'm just a simple working person i'm just a simple housewife i can't change the world and that's a terrible mistake because you think about it was there ever a generation like ours that we meet and we interact with so many people on a daily basis more often than not in the state of life we lived in the ghettos segregated areas unless you lived in a big city and a typical stetto a person didn't see a non-jew on a regular basis certainly didn't interact with non-jews and today we live in a society that a person in an average week meets and deals with hundreds of people many of them non-jews and i tell you every meeting with another person is an opportunity of kids hashem whether it's in business to be perfectly honest and a word is a word whether it's just the menstrual kite that really we should be the ones that are the portrayal of manchester kite but each encounter with another person is an opportunity of creation and they say a story it's printed in fact that a secular writer wanted to interview the heligenesis and the felt that it was the right thing to grant his request he said okay fine let's when i go for a walk you'll accompany me and you could ask me all the questions that you want so he started walking walking pretty briskly and suddenly the hazard slowed down and the reporter was frightened maybe that feeling was closer up everything okay he goes yeah yeah so why'd you slow up because didn't you notice it was no look i was walking briskly but i noticed when i came a little closer there was a person basically an invalid who was walking very slowly so the reporter says so he said what do i mean so i'm going to walk right by him i'm going to remind him of his infirmity i don't want to piss him so i'm going to let him go his face and i'll follow behind he said quote now we understand why they sent me to interview you he saw what tyra does to a person how sensitive the hazardous feeling was to a person he never met he was doing nothing wrong but there was a sensitivity that he had learned from the terror that he learned tiring whether we realize or not for every action there's a reaction and whatever we do there's a maya mural habrios like the himalayas says and as if there's an imaginary reporter that's following us oh this is a religious jew let's see what does it mean a religious jew does that mean that he's aggressive that he's self-centered does it mean that he's very honest and very generous and the way we interact with people we're making a statement we're filing a report of what torah does to us of segal the manchester rashiva was once traveling by train and he bought a second clip a second-class seat and he realized it was too noisy so yes the one of the workers could he upgrade to the first class that yeah sure go into the first class and you know you'll pay me later he came to the end of his destination and he went over to the worker let me pay the difference because no rabbi don't worry because what do you mean no don't worry i want to pay the difference i promise i'll pay just forget about it so rav sega was undeterred and he went to the train master who was like the rush of shiva all the work is and he said you know i i made up i'm going to pay extra i was in it even though it was an empty seat but i said i'll pay he doesn't take money so the man announced in front of all the people this rabbi is one in a million not just he's not cheating he's running after the opportunity to pay he just filed the report that yidan are honest he just made a kid in shashem he just justified the reason why we're taking out of mistrial to do something just like that was once walking in gardner it was then in his late 80s and it was a very narrow path and he was walking one way and there was a soldier coming the other way and the time stepped to the side and most of the soldiers go first and the soldier was shocked the rabbi must been three times his age so he emotioned him to go first and he says no no my whole life i stepped aside to respect someone else i'm gonna do this now as well and the soldier says this is something i never saw such a respect for me and the soldier was touched he was moved beyond words because there was a living kid of hashem called khafiz and that's the way we could live me irremessa oil by portraying what tyra does to us in every encounter with the non-jew then there's no problem of anti-semitism at least we mitigate or diminished it which is the basis of the kaddish that we say the word escadal biscadas but it's also the living kaddish that we have to be the league living koichi man that we have to be that we will proclaim and we will broadcast and we will sank to hashem's name in our dealings with the non-jew and i'll give you another example which is close to my heart i recently saw a bumper sticker this driver makes a kiddish hashem what a beautiful statement because let me tell you there is no greater vehicle pun intended of kiddish hashem like the way we drive because there's a world out there you know road rage has been given new meaning and just this this aggressive very violent way of driving has taken over and when a heat is driving the way he is supposed to drive and parking and not double parking and that block is someone's driver even to make minha he could be a living kid this hashem but it's not only this driver but it has to be everybody that goes in the streets but you know it's unfortunate sometimes we do just the opposite has to show them i don't want to be my but it's something that has to be mentioned but matasiyo salman once said and i quote mir buoyan anaya hitler with the way we drive the truth is he's right because yidna always rushing we have to make minha we have to make shakia we have to make the bris we have to make the shirt we have to make the chopper we have to make the pigeon at ben we have to make shabbis we're always rushing and our time is precious and we might be justified because we have to get there but the non-jewish world will not accept that as an excuse we can't drive and make a khalashem but if you're talking about one area that generates so much sina sistro it's where we drive the way we park i'm just thinking of two incidents that i saw recently where i did get out of a car and started screaming at a guy for no reason it was i was embarrassed to be a hit at the time or someone double parked actually was there was no way to pass through and just went away and there was a line and this is in my black in fact a line of cars the entire block no one could go the honking the incessant honking was deafening if you could somehow quantify that as that that synonym because of that year that double parked you could probably produce an atom bomb there was such road rage and such anger why is this person being selfish a line of cause and you know what happened the person was embarrassed to come out and move his car so it was worse and worse until another yid who was parked legally came out of his house and moved his car so all the cars started going through that avenue to get out of the street but it was something that was just beyond belief how do you do that to people he didn't know go ahead with no difference but my boy and i are hitler without driving and people have to quote happen so they just park or double park or block someone's driveway that's unforgivable i don't think any plastic would say you're allowed to disturb someone to make them irish come early and find a parking or walk or a hike but how do you do that and and you know if you don't have that bumper sticker on your car you have to emblaze it into your neshama this yid is living hashem and the way i drive is a wonderful opportunity being a quite shamayim you know they say a story about this person is driving on a highway and he sees he gets stranded so he quickly makes a detour and goes to help the fellow and he looks closely and he says and he doesn't seem to be jewish because are you jewish he goes no so why are you wearing that yarmulke he said my mother says you ever get stuck take out this yamaka put it on your head the jews are the most wonderful but i'll always stop for you that's a beautiful story that's that's called a kid but sometimes we do just the opposite it's painful you know we talk about hashem i don't know if we realized the magnitude of hashem i heard this from an ankle of moisture i'm just gonna talk about all the details because it's something that's not to be publicized but many years ago there was a year that was stuck behind the iron curtain when being behind the iron curtain was dangerous and he was in a very dangerous situation and there was one political figure that was able to get him out of jail and bring him to safety but he had a price they had a price tag he wanted to run for a prominent office government government position and he wanted the jewish people to back his candidacy and then he'll get the yid out in no time the problem was this was a yid who lived a deviant lifestyle and was living because what he did then he was known and i don't get into the details and they asked bianca kaminetsky could we save a life but it's going to be we're supporting a candidate that does not deserve our support maybe oculus i have to think about it and the next day he said i have no writer that you like to do it and therefore don't do it because as important as creature as an israel but making sure and as a post script someone i don't know why they went to eskraf shah the question had the identical response i don't have orion and therefore we have to say that it doesn't justify hashem i need a cotton if i could air arya maybe it's a gemara and it's a hedgehog of zai and the murray says pikachu david lavrov i deserved ever wanted to do about him until houston says like he was dealing if i desire so he responded what's going to happen if my son assassinates me it's going to be a horrible hashem that governor melech was killed so if if i didn't avoid zara or people attribute it to my wrongdoing it won't be hashem david was willing to give his life not to make him and he wasn't even making my point is that hashem is something that's it's intolerable and perhaps the person has to give his life not to generate hashem so how do we do it without thought how do we do it when we deal in business and people say the jews are not honest once said by the good of convention i quote he saw recently in a webster's dictionary that there's an entry is a word to jew is a verb to cheat and engage in sharp practice can you imagine to jew a verb is to cheat we have become synonymous with cheating doesn't that tear at your heart you'll say that that's just the anti-semitic remark i i hope we could i hope we could accept that but what goes on we hear stories rahmani let's learn headlines that are heartbreaking we are children of of the barista who's ms our terrorist ms and we have to be ancient and there's no justification of doing anything less than honest besides the wrong doing in itself but the horrible hashem that it creates we have to commit ourselves to redefine the word to jew to jew means to be scrupulously honest to be polite courteous and beloved that's the way we have to live to see revision in the dictionary because that's the essence of a yeed we have to train our children also every opportunity we meet another person is an opportunity of choice sometimes it amazes me why we are not focused on this enough you know there were generations that rabbanum learned hashem with their kilois they were gonna have to give their lives like it is hashem they were fathers that learned with their children hashem before they gave their lives hashem and i say now we have to learn with ourselves and our children our grandchildren and if i could say this particularly now we look back at the past year and a half with one of the corbin of of the covid is how we were vilified in the press how whether it's right or wrong i don't get into that now but we were the first that opened our shoes and opened our receivers and and we did things that perhaps the game weren't doing and there was a lot of bad talk about us and now we have to create a counterforce a kid hashem that erases some of that residue of hashem whether again whether it was justified or not is immaterial but we have to create a kid hashem to erase that bad image that we created maurice says that has a stain on his clothing is high of me why says the gemara because he's a saying he's causes tyra to be hated rashi explains people say that's a talmud he goes with a dirty jacket and they despise tyra and i ask you if he has a stain in his isn't that a far greater hashem now she says you have to be hagon we represent the beauty of torah i know a friend of mine told me he once said yes rapam which goes back obviously years ago they had a very good job offer but on one condition he can't wear a yamaka that's our palm told him and our times even though years earlier it was more acceptable but he wouldn't recommend his time to take a job where he cannot wear yamaka he says what you should do is ask for permission to wear yamaka and you have to do three things you have to be the most honest worker the most polite worker and the most devoted worker then you'll be making a kit the shame with your yamakum and your behavior that's what we have to do when we enter the business world the most honest the most polite and the most reliable but it's all about me you're messing we could light up the world with the beauty of toronto wherever we go you know the gemara says in khulan incredible story if you think about it i mean you have to have to really think about the implication of the story rapin was going from var mitzvah and he was traveling and the narginay was in his way there was a raging river so perhaps again undeterred he says you know he splits for me so you know he says why should i split for you and there was a whole back and forth but la maisa the guinea river split for a princess banjo then he said wait a minute there's another yi that i was that was also going for them it's a split for him okay but listen to this it says prince william noticed that when he was walking there was an arab accompanying him not that the arab was helping him but they're walking together so perhaps turns to the genoa river khalik not just for me not just for this year that's doing the mitzvah for this arab worker i what shall be after this arab fellow he wasn't working for you he was a comp he's working with you delailama that no one should say lebanese says rashi people say in shock that's a jewish person imagine i'm walking with this jewish person and the water splits for him and leaves me behind we have to live our lives with that question we do something will people say that's what a religious jew does pardon me for saying this but it pains me a year tells me he was in a supermarket and there was a non-jewish cashier that was working behind the counter you know ringing up the order and she turns and says how come you people don't have time for us so the idea that she happened to accuse was a friend of mine who were very liberated i'm sorry what do you mean because you know what just happened you wouldn't believe it another jew came with a shopping cart full of stuff he's on the phone okay so i'm patient and he starts unloading the entire delivery and i ring up everything and he paid me took the change and didn't say a word to me he was on the phone the entire time no hello no goodbye no thank you now you know what i mean how come you people don't have time for us and then affirmative comes this lady is working for him she brings up the entitlement packs it everything didn't say a word matter hello not goodbye and i thank you how come we don't have time for them that's the way it behaves you think about ever happened that review had to greeted that that that he that the guy had to greet him because he was the first to greet the other person amazing you know the gemara says rashi quotes it something is beautiful has to be maintained if something is not nice so a stain doesn't really take away too much of its beauty but something that has perfection that has beauty a little stain makes a big difference we are the beauty of the world and we have to protect that beauty i'll tell you a story of a friend of mine told me the derby of them goes back a long time ago obviously he was learning in muncie in baysraga in muncie and it was thursday night it was ready in the wee hours in the morning probably i think it was 1 30 a.m and he was learning schmuck you wanted a little fresh air so he went to stroll down the block if you if you know basraga on the right-hand corner of the of the yeshiva there's an old cemetery a non-jewish cemetery that goes back to the civil war and he's going for a walk you know thinking of learning and he comes to the cemetery and he says he never thought he would see a thing but there's a white thing moving in the cemetery he said never saw a ghost but that's what a ghost is something in white moving in the cemetery so the average person would run for his life but he's a baka he was a baka so he went this did wanted to meet this ghost and who was it it was the legendary mashiach of vegeta and he told me i don't know who was more embarrassed me or him i'm walking 1 30 in the morning and he's in a cemetery with his shirts you know like so says you're probably wondering what one what i'm doing here he goes no i'm not wondering but he was wondering i'll tell you the truth he lived across the street from the um from this cemetery and it was a very busy street i think it's maple level i'm mistaken yeah you're like that maybe and sometimes debris papers from this from the area blows onto the cemetery and he knows muncie became a very jewish neighborhood but again it was a non-jewish cemetery from the civil war and what's going if a guy drives by and sees that this dirt in the cemetery oh the jews don't respect our dead so every so often no one's looking i come out and clean up the cemetery an incredible atari offer the image of eden that we are respectable people but to do something that will cause hashem you know it always bothers me you know going we're going to hallelujah trip it's an incredible opportunity of training our children you know you look on the ground and there's rappers with jewish letters as big as kittens lavonna oysius who threw that down on the floor wasn't the guardian or it says please don't feed the animals and you could see matza and ladyfingers i mean we're incriminating ourselves we burn the comments therapy so it's wonderful and where do you leave it on the street it's about a terrific this is the way we tarnish our image is the way we promote anti-semitism but then you have a person that's a living question his definition of to jew means to be honest and arabic and devoted and caring the smog one of the great reshainam voices obeys he writes the rashti lagolius yisro it seems like he made a a speaking tour that those that are dishonest with the non-jews are being terrible way and then in a different an essay i in dalit it seemed like he really had a great devotion to this point but the rashti lagolius he went all over and he said mashiach will never come if we're not honest in business why he says what's this what is this exact word i'm just translating it can you imagine if meshiach comes and the guy will say the messiah came for the jews a bunch of crooks that's illusion it would be the most gruesome hashem if mashiach comes to a bunch of crooks and mashiach will not come unless we are perfectly honest with the non-jew and i was thinking maybe that's why their buyers have changed our social life that today we interact with on a daily basis on a weekly basis perhaps a hundred times it's an opportunity of generating more kidness hashem because that's the prelude of the gula that's the the key to the goula that's the precondition of the guru that we have to sanctify the name of hashem and we have stories that that are moving i heard i could tell you his name is raphael spitz a good friend of mine he said he was him and his brother went a long time ago to long island they wanted to buy a certain property a certain real estate and they you know i guess you're in the business you know that you you can you talk to the building manager he knows all the ups and downs of the property and they met what he said an ancient guy it was definitely much older than the average uh building manager he was a seemingly an ancient person but he was very lively and very robust and very young and energetic and he's telling about it about the building and then he said by the way do you know do you know the saint my friend says i wasn't interested in knowing the saint he goes well which saint rabbi title bam so he says rabbi term from wiesberg yeah do you know what that's saying rabbi tattlebaum so my friend said yeah i know but how do you know oh i met him twice i got to tell you he said i was when i was young and again he was ancient i worked in the fire department and on the high holidays it was rosh hashanah obviously i was stationed to go just stand outside the synagogue we call it tashmahad which i guess is the non-jewish word and just you know be around just make things maintain safety and like around five o'clock in the afternoon the door open then hundreds of people streamed out and it was a sight to see then all of a sudden everything stopped like as if everybody was paralyzed and the old rabbi the saint came out i never saw such a holy person and he points to me and i got nervous and i see he's talking with his friend and he starts walking towards me he walked very slowly and of course he didn't speak english but he spoke with an interpreter and i want to thank you for protecting my people it's so nice you're you're here we we we appreciate it and it gave me a blessing and i was touched man i was touched i said i'll pay another time i was once making inspections on the high fire hydrants and there's a car parked right in front of the hydrant and i was mad but i was patient and suddenly a private home the door opens and out walked the saint it seems he was someone and he can point to me like he didn't recognize him but he saw that his car was making trouble and he asked i could see him talking and he makes a point to come over he's walking very slowly and he said listen i have to apologize they brought me here and i walk very slowly and it's very hard for me to walk so they park right in front of the house and i'm sorry i didn't know it would disturb you i give you a blessing you get to my you get to my age and you should understand how important it is and people treat you nicely this man must be in his 80s and he's still working my friend says can i buy that blessing off you he says well not for all the money in the world am i going to give you the blessing of the saint but you know to me is amazing the first story that was rosh hashanah a day of malchus who could imagine and always thinking about is the recognition to the guy firemen you know the answer is because that's the supreme with that statement and that's something that we have to internalize into our own lives a bank of communist was once sitting and waiting in a doctor's office and there was a irreligious boy next to him and the boy had a ball so a bank of motion to the boy might throw me the ball so he did and banker threw back the ball to him and they were playing catch their banker was called to the doctor and after the annika who was with roy bank of said what was that all about why are you playing ball with this kid because you don't understand this is an irreligious jew but we never saw a rabbi in his life and i wanted to give him a nice impression of a jewish person i don't speak english i can't talk to him i play ball with him he'll think hey the jews are nice people the religious are nice people are you probably wondering so where's the punch line did the child become the next vega i can't say that i have no idea i don't make up stories i tell you the stories as they were but to me that's the punch line every encounter with another person is an opportunity of kidding hashem felt that if i be nice to this child i'll make a kiddish hashem and how about the people that we encounter on a daily basis at work on a train in a bank in a store the way we drive it's all the same thing let me close one more thought i remember vividly that was a long time ago i was a 10th grader i'm sifter tervedas and the first time i encountered the halogen for coivic shirum khan and wasserman safer i don't remember any stickle that i read then but i remember the hakudama very well the agdama was written by a yid who was there when the muhammad was shot to death together with tamidim and his children and somehow he was he's he has a son here robin flatbush this is the original the father of austria was there of many years in the east side he was there when muhammad was gunned down and he heard exactly what happened and there in the akdamma the helicopter he writes exactly what he heard from his mouth was very calm and he says probably they they in charmaine they feel we are their cabanas for our brothers and sisters in heritage in america and we are a carbonus we have to make sure we have the right kavanagh and let us go and make the hashem with the right kavanagh with fire and the world the world would be rebuilt the could always be with fire and that's the way he gave up his life and i was thinking we have to have the same attitude the way we live our kids hashem over to us it lived nicer now our role is to be this beacon of light in the in the world that's so dark that people say oh that's an that's a ban yisrael that's abandoned we are also living and we have to live our kids hashem and with the age of kids
