[Music]
like to welcome everyone to tonight's
share from our official schlitz like
at yeshivanet.com
tonight we have the covetables once
again our official shuttle sleeper
another margaret shear
speaker turning challenges into
opportunities my coverage corner of
shasta for tonight's joshua
[Music]
thank you very much everyone for
for being here so i can't wait all year
for the air gun shiree tyres
um it's always good to have your dentist
by shear in case during a josh you have
to pull teeth a little bit okay
so
the reason i look forward to this year
first of all how was your year everybody
is it okay
many many more z sky with marcus with
simcoe
the the reason why you have a shear once
a year the reason i i look forward to it
is something that stipler once said
stipler
was very mock bid when he had certain
not to drop it he said you know you
don't retreat like victor miller once
said i told them you know you're older
it's harder for you to get around maybe
you give up on some of your shirt he
said retreat never no you know you don't
move on you don't uh you don't back up
some general must have said that
a general who heard it from revita
miller no doubt about it but aquaponics
just plagiarized it okay
so this title said like this so there
was a simchas bay says that he had
absortalmedium or whatever older tell me
them
and they said it was very very hard for
him to walk it was very important to get
up the stairs where it was done and this
title insisted on
so they asked him why it's it's not one
of the gimbal available
you know that you have to be nice and
leverage yourself for this going to the
simcha
so the disciples said anything you do in
your life doesn't stop where it is it's
always
mitzvah
it's always there
so when you have a mitzvah that's done
once a year
so you're putting something into effect
right there's something they say you did
this mitzvah once okay you get to do it
again that's how it goes
now being that you don't do this mitzvah
till next year
so
then comes the sat in the malacha mother
says ah
sorry the other model says no i gotta
guarantee he's doing the mitzvah next
year
so a mitzvah that you do like once a
year
he says don't be in the vatel and that's
joseph mitsuguera smith because that
could be your ticket in the next year
[Music]
now here's the trick you can do this
every single day
you can say hey of i'm looking forward
to my marriage for hey of mitsubishi
smith so next year you know looking
forward to and you can do this all year
so whatever you're doing kind of rolls
on to next year
so i had a rebbe during sheer
you know either come to a positive he
would always ask for hamish he always
wanted
he always wanted
not just operations
and he would always turn pages and turn
pages back and forth until he found the
plusic
i mean somebody suggested maybe we look
up which sukhami wants to look up for
and maybe you can tuck in a ribbon or
something in between a bookmark
so yes you know what my kavona is when i
turn pages
so he said a very interesting thing
he says a lot of people
they refer to the parsha instead of
saying the date they'll say okay tonight
is uh arlen gimmel devorah
so somebody once said what are you
taking the toy return you're turning it
into a calendar so you're doing right
and instead of you breaking your head
they said hey above it's much easier to
say gimbal dwarim you know it's basmatis
massage
era
he said no no
it says when i open hamish
and i turn to this week's edjah
i do two things
he says he was an older person he had
gone through a lot in his life and he
said
let's say he was up to parish's devarum
he said i turned through berea say thank
you hashem for getting me through
voracious
for the week of
getting me through shamaw you saying you
say
thank you hashem
i made it to parshas devarim and i
turned to levite and i ask you hashem
give me also this
like he says the homage to me is like
it's a
it's
that's that's that's what the homicide
is that's what he was
it wasn't such a klutz that it took him
so long to find the page right
let's say ramosha this i heard from some
of his family whenever he opened the
safe to look something up he always got
it on the first on the first turn
even like uh shall choose bots you know
like
mints anything he always never had to
miss pages it was like
he had and he said once rama shepherds
opened the gemara and turned one page
and he said
he felt very that he had to turn one
page
that's right that's that's the shimaya
but this was different it was
for us to have to turn pages
here are the pages
the weeks that pass thank hashem for
what past
and the weeks that are coming thank
hashem for for what's coming so i i
don't walk around with myself before so
there's my little blue calendar this is
my diary it has everything inside my
every like every speech that i said
everything i'm going to say all my
appointments i can't figure out what i
wrote but it's all here somehow and i
always say so
let me think that there's a little flap
over here you can put it in to the i
said no no i turned the pages
thanks hashem for getting me through you
know uh hazinu and told xenos
and the era and you know all the way up
until i did the same thing think about
it for a minute not to take life for
granted so every day is a reality if you
don't take life for granted
so every day is a brand new reality
every day is a brand new reality so i'm
thanking hashem for this day like it
never existed
and if i'm thanking hashem for this day
like it never existed so we go back to
the stipless bracha mitsubira
smithsonian you get to thank hashem the
next time
so really what is the nine days
the nine days is a reality check
everyone looks at the nine days
differently i'm not talking about the
halachesvardham and ashkenazim very
differ very much the sheets of the
mercado
but i'm saying the the reaction to the
nine days is very different
somebody once told me
that he called up a customer of his to
collect money and the guy said
my minute is i don't pay bills in the
nine days
where does it say that says
not to do business
he doesn't pay bills in the nine days
yes that's how he's the master mata
right that's how he is
so
what is the reality of the nine days
nine days is reality check that we come
to terms
with who we are
now the story this is a bad one but it's
a good one anyway
the guy comes to a psychologist and he
says
having crazy hallucinations crazy
thoughts
i think i'm invisible and here's the
doctor saying but who's saying that
who's who's saying that right
what's what's this in reality and
hallucination
you have to want to
to see reality
secrets
today is the arsenal of his son of
ran to hungary
and he's screaming at the people because
the hungarian jews for many years were
still living a normal life they had no
idea what was going on in poland
crazy rumors that they rode off to
fanatics and extremists that are trying
to
in a screaming build bunkers build
underground bunkers one for your lives
they thought mama she's he lost it
they said you were gonna stop it stop
they thought they thought he lost it
and he wasn't the only one hear me oh i
know he had the same problem and zakaria
had the same problem right in the vm had
the same problem
then when the time they realized there
wasn't exaggerations what he was saying
it was true it was a little bit late to
start building bunkers
so if you think
you're going to hear now for the next 45
minutes uh one of those real nine days
tish above cantata kind of things the
world's coming to an end and
and uh
i remember in camp
i i i couldn't take it
always the nine days the head counselor
would get up and i was a kid they would
say kind of scary stories of what's
going on in the world i would run out
and then no we're going shakhtar sit
down
so i want to say to those that are
listening on different venues because
you could just change the channel right
those that are sitting here are sitting
you're kind of a captive audience right
i mean you could walk out but you know
it's hard to walk out
you know the story of this this uh
manager of yeshiva
he said he had an unbelievably
successful dinner
really amazing they made so much money
everything no not a single person there
gave less than a thousand dollars
how did you do that
he said how much did you charge just
admission mission free
what
you come with many kids as you want you
can come with people who serve such a
meal you can't demand best most
expensive caterer the most expensive
hotel how did you do it
i mean you just walk in no one charged
never to have tickets reservations nope
so how did it work must have paid the
tops now i got the most boring speakers
in the world
so how'd you do it how'd you do it the
guy got up to leave and he came to the
door hey the door is locked uh-huh swipe
your credit card a thousand dollars to
get out
since we got money from everybody it was
murder dick right
so
i had this head counselor in a camp that
i was a kid
and he would get up there the nine days
and he would say
i want to read you no websites then but
i want to read you this article
the manifesto of the neo-nazis and the
white supremacist groups
and on the other side i want to tell you
you know he remember the other thing i
remember he was talking about farrakhan
and and and all the things he's saying
about you and that's exactly right now
how hitler is what he called him a great
person and and i remember like sitting
and you know and then he started with
iran with the nuclear bomb and the crown
heist riots and
and
i remember that night the kids we
couldn't sleep every time the bunk door
slammed they were like ah everyone
jumped
but i wonder about it
what did it accomplish
did it accomplish that i craved gaula
did it accomplish that tissue obviously
which i'm bringing
no i just
this made me very nervous
and like i said the world's coming to an
end
till they gave out three french fries in
the canteen then we forgot about
everything we were just we were good to
go
so
the gemara really begins the
sakta's gift
of the quran begins
and the murder says how could you say
ashley
it says
so it seems that there are two types of
there's a pacha that's a hate
just to scare someone the world's coming
to an end that kind of packet is a fate
to scare someone else is the hate
and
[Music]
and to get scared i mean we're human
beings but try not to get scared
and then there's the kind of pachad that
says okay let me rethink my life
and let me
let me make corrections to my life
so how are you between one type of pakha
and the other type of
and also how are you getting denial and
the talk
now those that just don't deny they're
in denial they don't believe i don't
believe that they i don't believe in all
these fake news it's it's nothing
another story this this wife gives her
husband as a chainsmoker managed the
newspaper there was an article from the
new england journal how bad they think
smoking is it's 10 times worse and
he's looking at the newspaper and he's
reading and he's in the new york times
science section he's reading reading and
reading and reading and
she sees his face turns white you know
he's like still smoking and he says
that's it
no more
no more newspapers in our house no more
so
when you hear something that's scary
and
i'll just dismiss the scary news and go
on with my lifestyle
so obviously that's a bad absorption of
pasha so somewhere we have to find the
the middle road
or the defining
proper position
we are not in denial but it's real the
talking
where i'm i'm in reality it's a scary
world there are existential threats but
the point isn't
pointless for me to sit there and be
frightened
and one day i was thinking to myself
when that head counselor got up there he
said
i am telling you
it was still then the soviets there
could be world war three
at any moment now
it could happen
the soviets threatened he was talking
about the berlin wall and how at any
second there could be a war and they
were making preparations for nuclear
attacks and designs and i was like
and i remember i was like
and one day i just said to myself this
year i said that was 40 years ago i was
still around
so maybe all the things i was scared of
now so like you know
so obviously even even if it looks bad
doesn't mean it's so bad right
you know that person that got up there
and he was screaming this the old
mageedam used to scare people he also
said this joke
the guinness book of world record for
saying the joke but it's always good
line and he said
everyone in this cahill is going to go
to kahana you are crying and he's
describing kahanam from the racial
chakra the shiva media and all the
graphic detail and the ladies are
fainting and one guy is laughing his
head off
so he describes it even more i'm telling
you everyone here is going to go to
ghana and everyone in this game is going
to go to ghana and they're all fainting
and crying and screaming and this guy's
laughing he goes was lucks to are you
laughing he goes i'm not from this
killer he says i'm left with myself
right
so the truth is
so one shot rashi says he says and he's
they heard the clown like
he saw
pineam
he saw that their faces are turning
green from pachad
so he said that
atom itself you're all still standing
here you're still around you're standing
around
so whatever that head counselor said 40
years ago
and he wasn't making up stories what he
read about the neo-nazi manifesto was
very real
there really were existential threats
but guess what we're still around
so me personally i'm a professional
warrior
and uh so i like everyone else i i look
forward to
like when everyone heard when there was
that terrible story of the shooting on
the the mass shooting
somebody came and started shooting and
tear gas on a train
so somebody was sitting next to me and
he said skype
there was a mass shooting on the train
and i heard
i really heard this conversation you
heard the shooting in brooklyn on the
train not much people were shout it's a
nest nobody was killed and a man was
just shooting people at morning going to
work and the guy said which train except
the n train oh sure i take the f
right it could only happen on the entry
not on the f you understand what i'm
saying
which direction oh northbound oh i only
go i only go southbound on the air or
anything i get a ride to work right
so that's how we are we really view the
world
in terms of how it reflects now you know
what i know
we hear a tragedy you hear so-and-so is
diagnosed with
but if you hear so-and-so was driving in
his car and there was a sinkhole that
opened up
and his car all of a sudden went in we
don't get as scared
because we in our mind we don't process
that as a viable threat
that's like a very rare thing to happen
right
so most of our worries and concerns for
others really
is based on how what our perspective is
how we view it as a threat
to to ourselves
so i want to try to put all of this in
perspective
and i remember once learning a gemara
and
and this gemara really registered in my
head very very much
and it gives me because i am a
professional warrior i told you
i'll give you lessons if anyone wants by
the way you haven't i can get you to
worry about things you've been worried
about telling her but uh
the gemara says like this
there's a question about either we all
learn many of us like your vomit or at
least nothing you vomit or try to learn
your vulneras
but
somebody runs away and the question is
is he alive is he dead right we don't
even heard anything about him so
tomorrow says
the igumar says when you're looking at
the future
so we reckon in the possibility that no
one lives forever he's going to die
but to say that he died already and that
should affect the elohic status of his
wife without any
supportive information or evidence of
that we don't do
so all the troubles in the world are
correct you're right
i mean war is inevitable people say and
mass destruction everything else and
disease and so on okay fine monkey pox
and okay you're right
i mean we see it happens
but to say this is happening to me who
said
there's nothing wrong with saying that
but you have to take into account and be
realistic on both sides of the court
yes these things could happen
but i don't assume that it happened
already and that only someone's going to
happen to me like i said many many times
what sergey kind says and think about
this that 99 of our worries
aren't real problems and 99 of our real
problems aren't things we anticipated
most of the time you worry about the
wrong thing
but the russian wants to put us in the
state of frame of mind when we dive into
the age
because broccoli says you're daffing to
me you realize you're not in denial
you understand what head counselors have
been saying evie tish above for the last
years it says 2000 years is is real and
on the other end you're still around
that's all i need
just recognize the fact that you're
still around
the outfit of our deck famous story
middle of world war one
he's making havdallah or kiddish
and boom
a shell hits the building
the walls literally start caving in huff
and puff smoke plaster lower place
shrieking terribly one falls to the
floor the falls are shaking and he's
standing there making kiddish
and not a drop of wine spilled out of
his bed
so could we be the elder friend of
arnick
know that story about the counselor
that's walking with a bunch of kids
and he tells the kids don't worry about
that dog around here because if you see
a dog you say the possibility of you
and the dog will not bother you
and all of a sudden this big pit bull
shows up out of nowhere growls the kids
you know their famous sticky kids they
go
and the dog said sound like a cat
with its tail between its legs and
it's licking someone's shoe but where's
the counselor
and they look up he's high up on a tree
what are you doing there they said
council you forgot the passage he says
no he was scared the dork forgot the
passage right
so where's where are we where's the
difference between the altaf and the
vardik
who's whose backer didn't lose a drop of
wine
as opposed to the counselor up on the
tree right it's not past fail it's not
either you're the elephant of article
you're that counselor
it's somewhere along
somewhere in the middle
i once read a very frightening statistic
i'll tell you why it's frightening
there are people now after the suffering
davis or shaman and muslim dementia and
alzheimer's you know that there's a
statistic that people with alzheimer's
live have a longer lifespan
and one of the reasons is because they
have no stress or less stress
because at one point at the beginning of
dementia there's tremendous stress they
don't remember things
they realize they don't remember that
but afterwards they don't they don't
know they don't remember
so we we want to understand
the problems in our life we want to
recognize the threats i'll convey if we
don't recognize the threats
we want to be able to learn how to deal
with it
the altitude of addict would always say
look i know
what has to happen is going to happen
anyway
i don't change the the events of my life
my job is just to do the right thing
that's the altitude of arctic
how close can we get to that so i want
to talk a little bit i think we're going
to answer some of the questions now
about uh
i think a has been almost to make and
the god will be soiled that passed away
shabbos
whom i had the pleasure of knowing
because many many years ago when he was
here with his first wife that was
going through treatments he had dived
into municipal for a couple of weeks
and
he was then he wasn't the guy that
getting it was the hush of the rav and
belgium and i remember how what a warm
person he was he had given a shabbos
josh
and how the light would come over to him
remember he was such a despite the
pressure that he was going through
extremely warm person let me tell you
about his history i was reading a lot
about it today there are as always going
to be some conflicting stories but this
is basically what it was
he lived in peazing
which is near preschburg in slovakia
when the nazis came into his town
he was 12 years old
and they surrounded the house
of the rav of pesing
ravishua leib
and they ordered him to come out
and the rav looked out the window
and walking by whether in the back of
his house on the side of his house
was
this little boy yitzhaktovi
and he said tips
he said to him
run to my rebbe
his rebbe was the da cipher it's not the
shape itself
was the son of the sap cypher i believe
i'm not sure end goal of some cypher he
said run to my rebbe
tough assignment for a 12 year old
and he ran off
and he's stalling and the nazis said
we're counting to ten get out or
and he comes running back
and he says he said like this
a sorry archive
i don't know what to tell you
that's what's going to happen and we
have to subject ourselves to the will of
the evangelist
it's interesting the rav survived the
war
when
he as a child
ran to
the
shave the the cypher he began to cry
and he said what he said instagram to
ask you what to do the nazis are
standing around the door
so
there was a russia call there russia
called pitchborg
and he conferred with
the daca and they said little boy
we got there's something's going to be a
kinder transport
and that's that england had agreed to
take a certain amount of children
into their to save them
and of course who's on that list
it took a lot of courage to parents to
let go of their children knowing they
will probably not see them again
and we're holding this ticket we have
this one ticket
which is really a ticket to life
and
you came running in to say what's going
to be
so we decided it's probably your ticket
and they gave him the ticket they said
this is not a ticket to some girl to win
an ice cream okay
this is a ticket
to life
it's a ticket to life
he's 12 years old but he understood what
it was
and he ran home and he told his parents
what happened
and he took out the ticket
the parents looked at the ticket
and he described
his parents looked at each other and
they said what do we do
how do you put your 12 year old on a
train
never ever to see him again
but if you don't
he's probably not going to survive
his parents made a very courageous
decision
they said you're going on that tree
and the 12 year old said why
they told him
hashem gave you a ticket to life then
you have to take it
and they walked him to the train station
and his father gave him a siddhar
before he left
and in the siddha he wrote
hold on to this
every time and every place
i don't know
i see not so much now but years ago more
so you know parents putting their kids
onto the bus going to camp and the
mother's crying and the kids are crying
the kid is going to camp you know you're
going to speak to 10 times a day to
refill his canteen car 20 times a day
what are you crying
right
you send off your first kid there it's
easter all that feeling
it's like a very if you're sending off
your first kit terrace you swallow i
remember my oldest we we all came to the
airport and about the whole procession
you know
like holding back our tears and biting
our lips and then my mother shone came
along and the kid is like don't go home
everybody like you know okay
goodbye come on are you going overseas
my son is going to be on the other side
of the atlantic ocean he's going to
learn in this big big ocean called the
very shiva what's going to be and you
know
and when he called home you know and i
had 20 people televised to go make sure
they see him and make sure they look at
him and make sure they know he's around
and don't walk into arab territories and
please don't walk to the gaza strip and
don't walk into lebanon and don't walk
here and don't walk there you know and
and don't know when this is don't stand
next to demonstrations cause you get
caught up in a and then you know what
then and he's coming home he's coming
home with the calendar he's coming home
in ten days he's coming home in nine
days it's coming home in eight days can
i stay another few weeks
okay he's coming home in two weeks he's
coming home in one week and finally he's
coming home
you know and and then on the on the
thing there's big balloons in front of
the house and a big sign welcome home
and there's music playing inside and
there's a party and where is he where is
he where is he and i think he's saying
that the car service passed the break
three times he's not getting out of the
car till we take those balloons off i
mean okay
so that's your first kid and when he
comes he's crying and you see him and
he's like oh wow
oh yeah yeah we talked to you 10 times a
day he looks like amazing
so
then my my sixth son
went terence's role
and one morning i'm in bed at six
o'clock and i'm going ding dong i said
who in the world is ringing the bell at
six o'clock in the morning cause i'm
just shaking alone
and i stick my head out what do you say
i know someone with suitcases and i go
when was he suck supposed to come home
oh today oh okay
and i run downstairs and he opens up the
door and i said he's like listen go to
sleep and you start working on a sucker
right away okay
somebody told me a shoe
that uh
he starts
getting out of the cab with four
suitcases ringing away the bell somebody
said i'll bet you that's the sixth or
seventh son coming back from nancy
sterling
but uh i don't know
how do you say goodbye that no one
should ever be tested
how do you say goodbye to a kid
that you'll probably never ever see
again
i don't know
so
he's on the train and he says he's 12
years old
and by the time he gets to london
he understands that he may be a yossim
of his father and his mother he's not
foolish
he understands
he wound up in a
uh he was lucky he wound up in the like
an orphan home the sass of a rebel ran
and when london started getting presents
at night from the germans
so all the kids were taken out of london
they were they were sent into
various different places up on the hills
and many children were sent to houses
that were in kosher it was like there's
all kind of nightmare stories
but this sasuke moved he found a place
in the country which wasn't easy in
those days and he tried to keep the
place together
wound up
staying in london he now knows he's a
it's called rahmatullah khalifa he has
no father he has no mother he's 12 years
old and now he's 13 14 he's a soul
survivor and he winds up in the yeshiva
of ramaisha schneider
this yeshiva schneider in london was
also the yeshiva where myself learned
famous there's an interesting story with
that yeshiva monster schneider was a
talmud of
and who was his wife
his wife's father
his name was gidalia
gadalia was the water carrier and if
there was still was a water carrier in
the times that covered its claim but if
there was a water carry he was the water
carrier you know the guy with the poles
with the two
you know pails hanging on both sides
and in those days there was this
horrible thing called kest
there was no yeshiva kitchen and
basically breakfast at lunch was
survival of a fittest supper you knocked
on someone's door and said i'm supposed
to eat here tonight and these guys
didn't have enough for themselves and
you this guy came to eat there they
weren't always treated in the best
possible fashion
and
all the crazy stories about kest and so
on so gedalia decided it's not fair to
the bakr
he is going to work things out
differently you bakr and stay in yeshiva
and he went around with his buckets
after he emptied them from water and he
knocked on all the doors and said put
your put your your thing into the bucket
you know and he brought it to the thing
and then he gave out supper to all the
boys and yeshiva should be respectable
now it was hard enough when the boy was
there you know what i mean what they
gave him
and you know he asked him to put some
food into a bucket and this guy had uh
you know
meatballs with supper and the other one
had a quarter of a chicken and this
person had turkey and this person had a
sliver of a hard-boiled egg another
person an avocado another person had
half a piece of broccoli and it was all
one big chunk
and gadalia came in he met well he
wasn't very uh
so the the bakram used to call him
they nicknamed him soim gadalia
and they said you know
since gedali is starting to go around
we're fasting a lot this is what's
happening
and uh
gedalia but he kept trying he tried so
hard once he tripped with all his food
and fell into the water i don't ask
um i said he got very sick
sat with gadalia
and he
and he gave him uh he fed him spoon fed
him william kipper famous story
and before gedalia passed away so good
so he said
i have no questions understood okay
like this is how i'm getting paid back
what i did
and my only concern is my two daughters
and the
as it is who would marry them you know
who was the mayor who was your
schweitzel yeah i'd rather marry shalas
at the time
so
i'll take care of your daughters
and one of his daughters um
who moved with her to london
and the master she was probably from the
soul survivors in rattan
so you think about what this car is for
her father in this world it looks like
you don't get any scar for your mitzvahs
but they
so he learned in my schneider it's a
famous story that masha rashman used to
always say that during the war years
there was curfews and it was difficult
to go out at night and
masha schneider once said
he said one bucker should he need one
broken to go from yeshiva to yeshiva
that little yeshivas to learn with the
other bakram one person to go to the
bakery and get the bread
there's some serious snappers to go out
during the warriors he said each of you
you'll see that which will reward you a
thousand times over
so he said monsieur sternbach went out
to learn with the kids
and i went to get the bread so i became
my shark man and he became derivative
you know
he says we could have had the other we
could have switched jobs you know like
it just just happened to be that those
were those were the jobs he said i said
if i could switch i would switch
the
rashternbach himself
writes an amazing story rebel honor used
to come to london and stay in their
house in sternbach's house
and his father
passed away and the next time rohana
couldn't stay there wasn't because
mother was an almana but the amana would
come together with him
and maisha would go around with the
rebel ghana and talk to him in learning
and she once asked the rabuhanan to give
a bracha that her son should be a god of
hadar
it's up to the person himself
she said i'm an al-manna and i'm not
taking no for an answer
and rebecca turned white and he said
okay give you a bra
that's what he said
so he's learning in this master's night
is yeshiva
and he marries the asylum he marries the
assignment
who also did not have a father and
mother the guy did and the simon was
raised by rabiyan sweden who was then
derived in london
and he moves to gateshead
and he's in a coil he's the coil then
together with the blue destler
and he became the
eventually winner of desolate left the
guy would became the russian
and from there he moved to antwerp and
he became a very very famous dying over
there and that he assumed a position
and it's it's it's a position which is a
personality
that didn't change he lived a very
modest life he never technically had his
own school or his own kahila but he was
from the hush of the dhyanam and he got
shylus in the entire europe
and there was the gary represent his
receiving team for shiloh and satman
everyone the stipler was mostly his then
an antwerp
and so on
on youtube this tough shin samurai
gimmel about 18 years ago 19 years ago
he became
the
gaivin which is the head of the eda
credits and yeshuai
technically the love of your shalom for
the eid this
if you understand that position it is
probably one of the most sensitive
positions in in yeah this today
in a way an extremely powerful position
an unbelievably important position
and
you have to be very very smart to
survive it
and he took the position
and he never changed
i mean they made a school for him the
last couple of years but he never walked
into trillions of people standing there
by the shoulder and you know he was
always very private person he had
bhakram over to him but the shilohs that
he took on
and the takanas that he took on and the
battles that he fought was the warrior
battling for the kids of your shalom and
and by extension the way irish lion goes
goes cloudy
and all the while he receives many
high-ranking diplomats that came to talk
to like you know
the chief rabbi of israel one thing but
they understood you know they understood
the politics they briefed very well in
what politics they wanted to speak to
this chief rabbi
and he spoke of queen's english and he
had a very strong communication with uh
with ambassadors from uh from different
countries
he i don't want to get into his pisces
or his hug over the last 18 years
but i think you can say on this one
personally
the courage of david
the patience of hillel
and the of ramadin
it's just
all together
and his greatness was that in his
despite the fact that he had to make
decisions that affected all of claudia
israel
his day-to-day he never gave up the
day-to-day access for regular people
coming to ask him silence
so here's what i want to get to
he never drank wine
i heard this one
for kiddish
he had grape juice and he poured in a
drop of one
and when they asked him why he never
ever drinks wine
are you allergic he said no
he says because he's in a position he
can get a life and death shiloh from one
split second to the next
and if you drink wine you cannot pass
him
so he never ever drank wine
he never slept in a bed friday night
because he said during the week people
have emergency questions they call here
telephone wakes him up but at night what
if someone knocks in the door he doesn't
hear it
so friday night he sat by his table he
sat by the door and he
whether he dozed off or not but he was
an earshot of anyone knocking on the
door to be able to pick up the phone
now you have to appreciate the story and
i want you to try to put these two
stories together because really in a way
they're the same story i tell you the
altitude is standing there with his case
of wine and the bomb hits the building
and that a drop of wine spills
it's late he wants to make havdallah
they don't have grape juice
they don't have gramsci
they find a thing of grapes so somebody
was knocked but not to do malachi before
half dollar he don't want them to open
the grape juice
she said okay i only have wine have wine
i'll make abdullah wine
and he makes abdullah on the wine
man comes in
shine
what was the shiloh
he wanted him to sign on to a heteronay
rabbana
which is a person
doesn't you know his wife doesn't accept
the get it's a very sticky complicated
situation
he said i can't now he said why because
i just drank wine
and the person left him said he said
just look for excuses
i never do this but i did it
it turned out this person who came to
allah with his head and everybody
misrepresented the case and maybe he
thought he was telling the truth but it
really was a misrepresentation whoever
signed that heteronym had years of
extremely complicated situations that
went on
and it was like his talmidam said hashem
kept him saved him
the one time in his life he drank wine
was to keep him from getting involved in
something so sticky that he would have
karate for years to come
that's it not to fall into a trap
that was the 12 year old boy
12 year old boy that dropped his father
and he heard you know you know what it
reminds me of they say this terrible
story which is not true
from a lot of different angles but as i
zuckerman that there's this is he's
about to take the vaccine they said
don't take the vaccine
why not it's just a conspiracy take the
vaccine is terrible
what whoa what's going to design no you
don't know what's going to happen you
know
bill gates
and and and what's his name elon musk
they have a whole thing that the little
microchip goes into your arm
and wherever you are they're going to
track you the rest of your life they're
going to know where you are what you're
doing how many times go to the bathroom
what you eat everything is going to go
out to the file to a computer don't take
this
and this is challenging it says give me
the vaccine he takes the modern he takes
the pfizer he takes the chance in a
chance what are you doing
then he goes
he looks around hey mr gates mr
mr musk
i'm making a wedding next week okay
my address is
i think these were yin
that lived within a munna
i think about this 12 year old boy that
got onto the train right how many 12
year old boys
were killed in world war ii
how many guy that's could have been
there
and how do we know we're not one of
those 12 year old boys
rabbi used to say all the time he said
be careful with your children they could
be your parents
we don't know who we are for all we know
we're going to come up to shania and we
go oh oh really you know those stories i
was there
and i was born again a generation later
into america right we don't we don't
know we don't know how the puzzle piece
works
how it works
so of course there are existential
threats but this says listen i'm tired
of this world away i want to bring the
goal
now if i wanted to get up now
if i wanted to get up now and give that
speech that my head counselor gave 40
years ago how the world is coming to an
end i have better stories than he does
iran said today we could make a nuclear
bomb
but we're only building it for energy
and we have no interest in a nuclear
bomb
they said they have no interest
and north korea is also building nuclear
bombs i think they could all reach
america they have all these ballistic
missiles and
the good news is i can tell you you
don't have to worry about both the
iranian nuclear bomb and the north
korean bomb you only have to worry about
one of them worrying about both of them
doesn't really make much sense if you
understand what i'm saying
right uh what else of course there's
global warming we're all going to be
swamped you know what i mean get your
snorkels outward we're done for
you see tucker's 90 degrees a couple of
days in a row a friend of mine called
from australia so right now it's
freezing over here he said there's crime
in new york there's the political
meltdown and there's rise in
anti-semitism
you want existential threats there's
more today than was 40 years ago
but the ones 40 years ago were also
pretty serious and we're still around
and the minister says i want you to be
around the 40 years from now also
but i want you to be real
i want you to recognize the threats
so during the nine days we don't make
kiddish
during the night i mean i mean we don't
drink wine sorry kendra's
we don't drink wine
we don't eat meat
why don't we eat meat and why don't we
drink wine
i'll surveilles right
not to engage in simcha really enough
and the place can smash for totally
different
the reason we don't eat meat is to
remember that we once had buster of
carbonis
and the reason we don't drink wine is to
remember that we had the yanyon of
nesafe
that's all
the wine that they poured onto this
bay'ah was
hope in the hearts of people
right after the raglan they even were
banned to golis
so they had the parish of nasa
very interesting i saw him to say from
saraswat they say remission the shy'll
about during the nine days if you could
drink wine because it's ready monster
shabbos you can't drink wine some people
make of zelda on beer some people give
it to a kid to drink remission said that
whatever makes them dollars to drink the
water
mushroom said that
it's it might just set up this part i
think it's not all surveillance
it's also
so if it's a mitzvah then it's not in
the game it's not a steroid to the thing
so they asked her much about giving it
to a kid he said you could you don't
have to doesn't all that you have to you
make abdullah you drink wine
but it's the nine days
hello
life is full of steers and complications
and the urbanism says
know what's right and know what's wrong
and ask hashem for seated ishmael to
what i'm supposed to do at the given
moment today's the arts center have been
seeing the baba with the father of
shalina
he's the one this story i heard
firsthand i asked
made it out of the nazis
you read the book nor by moon it's an
awesome book
got a picture of what the indian poland
went through
and become unbelievable in the
seriousness he got into a truck
and drove back
into nazi occupied territory
to save his mother and sisters
i don't know if anyone else ever did
that
once he was out
paid someone to go into a truck and
drove in and while he was going in he
loaded the truck full of bread
he's there but he may as well give it
out
and knock knock knock in the middle of
the night he knocked on his mother's
door the nazis were desperate the
russians were shooting out there were
battles on the street
and they were backing off and backing
off and they if they found any hidden
hiding around not too much rahman i said
that give a moment
and knock on the window and the kid came
in and told his mother let's do she said
you're out of your mind
that's they haven't in months
then if he was alive he was dead where
he was he says he's there and schweinman
pops up by the window he says come on i
have a truck waiting over here i'm
taking you out of here
and the mother said
my daughter's on the other side of
budapest
i'm not leaving without her and the
driver said we're not going to the other
side of the budapest any second i could
be killed so either now i'm leaving you
all here
he's stuck what's he do
he said no you have to go she said i'm
not going without my daughter
no son the daughter from the other side
of budapest with her kids came running
sort of been seen was killed by the
nazis
four years before that came to her in a
dream and said get up and run to your
mother right now.
the story i heard from the person
i guess they caught him from this world
but he wasn't really cut off from this
world
reverencing of said like this
begins
and it says maybe there's no official
see a fear of a sudden purim says
but he quotes the passage taive
a good heart is always in the mood of
drinking
so on not before you drive though
is
starts with the word tanid
and it ends with the word tamid quote
with the quote of the passage in michele
and he needs to have both yesterday
and he has to be taught said the bhava
virav but it has to be in that order it
has to be first chavis hashema negdy
summit
don't be in denial recognize there's an
abundance along the world and then it
can be tumulated mr tommy now that you
know what the existential threats are
now i don't want you not to panic and he
says that's why we dab in that it should
be to medium kisidran
that the two to medium shades hashem the
negri summit and
mr talmud should be
in
the proper order
used to be macbeth
not the diamond in a minion that has
only 10 people he wanted at least 11
people we asked him why
says there was euro of some ammoniac
terrorists there was 11 some money
activists one was the hell bena khalbino
was not necessarily a very geshmaku
smelling spice
but the reason it had to be part of the
eleven summer money actuaries is to let
us know you're matsar if you even show
him in your field
he says if you ten people diving for an
amen there's only ten everyone feels
good about themselves you'll notice when
10 people dive in you'll always notice
there's gonna be one guy that's gonna
die with an extra long schmonastery
everyone's like waiting waiting waiting
you need me right everyone becomes the
rough you have to wait for everybody for
schmonastery it's according to some
shitless
so he's always making 11 people
he said everyone has to feel good about
themselves you also have to think maybe
you're the khalbana
maybe the minion doesn't need you you
have to have both
so i read a story today that somebody
said he met a year in tel aviv
and he was making kid this shabbos
morning on his cup of wine and he
started singing a negan car reborn for
car reborn which was the kalish sian's
it was a murderer nagin it's
interesting of palms
also
every of the three suitors in shabbos i
think and he's saying kariba and prairie
son of he had to murder the gang of sons
they asked him why are you singing i
mean nothing wrong
why are you singing
this afternoon
he says every time he he makes he makes
kidness by night by day he sings
practicing he says why he says before
the war he was running from one place to
the other he was a soldier so i don't
know what else he came into the
conditional scene from
and he said give me some advice
like what do i do now the germans are
after me this yes and he sat him down
he said you appreciate a good
he said not right now though
and he sang with him karim a couple of
times
until he got it
then he called in some people to sing it
with him to make sure he got evita
and he thought this man is out of his
mind he didn't come here for a concert
right
he said when he went through gahannam he
said after the war he was finished with
the divinity shalom he was finished with
you know he went out to some kibbutz
sorry kibbutz where every night they go
to sleep thanking god they're atheists
and that's it
and he
he said every once in a while the niggen
would ring in his head the negan was
ringing his head
and negan would ring and he said slowly
he came back and he says now he's a
shiny just he has a family shaming team
that says but that he sings every
time he picks up a couple one
he said the wrath told me to tell you
words i have no words for you i have no
words
this is what it is
we're all here for a mission
until we're old amish has our number
knows exactly where he doesn't have to
give us the vaccine he knows exactly
where we are because he gives us
until we each have to accomplish all we
have to accomplish absolutely will keep
sending us back
zara shimshin says even could have done
it in a year they didn't 40 years
because they just have to keep coming
back to do what you have to do
we have to
be messiah and i heard a beautiful
muscle today
there's a man
who's wealthy rich palaces white horses
carriages he's
walks into the fanciest restaurant
everyone stands up and takes a graceful
bow to him he is the centerfold of all
the papers in the world
and one day starts the stack start going
down he's crying over his stacks crying
shine then all of a sudden he starts
losing his bonds his commodities his
money he starts crying over his money he
forgot about his stocks then there was a
terrible fire in one of his houses he
was being sued there was no insurance he
started crying about his houses he
forgot about his
other things and then eventually he was
he started the depleting his savings he
started crying over his savings he
forgot about the stacks and bonds and
then he became very sick and he started
crying over that and he lost everything
he wound up on the street a beggar
begging from house to house and he was
crying over the least apartment that he
once had and then he became so sick that
he was not missing the hospital he threw
him out of the hospital he was laying on
the floor homeless and throwing up
vomiting he couldn't move he said he
can't he couldn't even he was crying for
the days they can go around begging and
somebody came down and said what
happened to you what happened to you he
said i'm telling you let me give you a
bracha my brother's work what do you
want so you said give me a brock i
should be able to get up and go begging
again
right because he forgot everything that
happened before him so the marshal is
you know we can forget what what life is
all about
so you want to talk about existential
threats
to wake us up a little bit okay that's
not what it's all about
it's about a base of migration
it's about a relationship with the
college barracuda
it's about understanding that a college
barco has our number even without the
vaccine i'm not getting into a leash
detective x internet
i am getting into
that there's a purpose for us being down
here on this world
and if there wasn't something that you
can do that nobody else in the world can
do then you wouldn't be here and if
there wasn't something that you can't do
today whether you're 20 whether you're
30 whether you're 60 or 80 or you're 119
it doesn't make a difference then you
wouldn't be here
when they came to the base of english
people clarified their purpose on this
world when you clarified your purpose in
this world you really weren't worried
about anything else
everything else became bottle of avotal
afrida
i'm going to say conclude i know i
concluded a few times already
i'll tell you a story i'm sorry for the
camera which i've repeated it many times
i'm just saying it to the island i was
driving and i was in a camp for shabbos
and i was driving up a very narrow road
it was a camp there was an old boy scout
camper girl scout camp it was up a road
up you had to drive up like a mile and a
half on a very dirt road and the pebbles
are flying all over the place and i can
hardly see it's so dark and there's
there's no place with two cars those on
in front of me are three deer three deer
boom
and there's like some negotiation going
on between the mother and the kids and
the mother like stamps her feet and the
kids stand back and it took like a
quarter of a second but there was
something going on there and they all
start running forward and never had this
before i've seen deers before
i once had a deer
that
flew over the hood of my cars coming
down from the terminal convention i had
the long forward station what like the
car jumped over the moon
and said i came home my shredder was
saying tell him he woke up miller night
and said hey how they were coming back
my kids were going to swear i got a
feeling they were in danger very
interesting but lanaisa
so these deers were running forward they
usually run off to the woods
like i was driving behind them as if
they were showing me the way or they
were running to camp to say hey this
shafter's coming look out yeah i don't
know that's what it looked like why are
they running ahead of me you know i'm
watching the tails of the deer
and they got to one point and then they
they split up one deer went one way the
other way and
i couldn't figure it out on the way back
down the next morning in the sunlight i
stopped at the point where i first saw
the deer
and i noticed
that
you couldn't see it from the road
because there were bushes but past the
bushes was a deep cliff on both sides
and i said obviously the mother stopped
the kids and running off to the sides
because they would have gone down the
thing
she said it would seem like a very poor
choice to run the head what are you
running ahead for like the car is going
to catch up to you but it was the only
choice it was the only viable choice
in goalless we said shem stop all our
tsarists stop all our problems
let's you know we want to run off into
the woods and get away from the enemy
and we want to be very comfortable we
don't i don't mind staying in borough
park lakewood williamsburg
polk or whatever it is just get rid of
anti-semitism
damage says no no no
i need you to run forward because i'm
the one that sees the cliffs
