ist yeshivanet.com tonight we have the
cover
have with us once again the noted
mortgage repaiso chrome schlitz
speaking a topic of living fully
becoming a person of consistency it's my
coveted corner by chrome for tonight's
russian
[Music]
it's a great course have been invited
once again by
rabbi balsalita rabbi deutsch lita
to come to speak to all of you at iguan
shuri terra
i have my grandson here with me tonight
and i was
showing him the catalogue of speeches
that are done
throughout the year by iguanshira terry
that's absolutely incredible
not only in flatbush in borough park and
williamsburg but literally throughout
the world
and rabbi deutsches the right-hand man
who makes sure that these are
all available for everybody around the
world so i hope that tonight
all of you that are here and all that
are listening wherever you may be
that we'll be able to be inspired
together
we've come together just a few days
before
and we know that these three weeks are
from the saddest times
of the year for claude israel we
understand what sadness means
this past year and a half has been so
difficult for so many people throughout
the world
not only for the general world but
especially for yidden as well
with death and illness challenging
so many different ways emotionally
financially and socially
but we just went through a
shivasavatamas and it's very interesting
the gomorrah and tina's
base tells us that five tragedies
happened
on sabatamas i'm going to mention all
five but we're going to talk about one
of them
and we're going to talk about that one
that perhaps is talked about the least
because we would think as we're touching
the gemara
that that is not the most catastrophic
thing that happened
but that's going to be our theme for
tonight the gemara tells us that first
and foremost the most terrible thing
that happened
on shiva sabatamas was came down from
shamayim and he saw that claude israel
was serving the egal
and the luchas were broken some say he
threw them down
something he dropped them but either way
we can understand
that that is a terrible catastrophe that
the luches were broken
the second thing was botel hatomet
the tomb of the corbin tumid they didn't
allow us to bring the carpenter anymore
which was brought
in the morning and in the evening before
shikiya
the third thing was hufka air the walls
of the city were breached
and in that way eventually they were
able to get into sheliam and to destroy
the basal migdash
so we could understand the catastrophe
and the fear
of what yidan felt when the walls were
breached
and the fourth thing was apostomus who
was a general
of the romans burned the sephi torah
how terrible that was in the basa
migdash and the fifth thing was that
menasha
who was a king but who was not a good
jewish king
and he never brought and avoided zara
into kurdish kardashian
so of these five things each one seems
like a terrible catastrophe and it
certainly was
but what was botel atomic why was that
so bad that claudius couldn't bring the
carbon tummy in the morning and the
carpentamid
in the evening and the truth is that if
you look through history you will find
that on shivasavatamas itself terrible
terrible things happened in different
places
in 1391 four thousand yiden were killed
in toledo and spain on shivasabatamas
we all know that later on all the eden
had to leave spain
and that was on tish above and that was
the spanish inquisition
in 1559 in prague the jewish quarter was
burned again
that was on shiva sabatamas in 1944 the
kovner
ghetto was liquidated that means that
they sent all the hidden out of kovner
and never so many many of them were
killed
but as we said i would like to talk
about the curb intermittent
and this past week in pashas pinchas if
you take a look at it you will see
something
that is pointed out that hashem does not
say
about any other carbon
the positive tells us
that abrasive
you should bring it in my in the
appointed time
and then the next process tells us
that's referring to the
summit that was the carbon talmud that
was brought in the morning
and in the evening why is it so special
why does the aviation
love that carbon atomic that he calls it
my carbon my fire my aroma what's so
special
about carbon atomic and i believe that
the answer is
one word consistency and that's what i
would like to talk about tonight
becoming consistent when
somebody does mitzvos in a consistent
manner
to medius he makes a connection to
hashem
but when somebody does miss us whenever
he feels like it
so he's not doing the mitzvah because
hashem wants him to do it he's doing it
because he feels like doing it
but when you do something bitter medius
constant
because that's what hashem wants then
you show that connection
now there's a certain person who has
written many many books
and he's a life coach a life coach gives
advice to families
he gives advice to business executives
and he gives advice to
athletes and he once wrote something
absolutely incredible
and he wrote don't aim to be
consistently great
aim to be great at being consistent
i'm going to repeat that don't aim to be
consistently great if you're always
trying to hit a home run
those of you who know how to play
baseball know that many times you're
going to strike out
because you always want to be great you
want to hit the grand slam right you
want to be great
but if you're just trying to keep the
ball in play
and you're being consistent by just
getting that base hit or getting
the runner moved on you're going to be
greater
you're having a greater effect for the
team than you will by that guy that's
hitting the home runs and striking out
more than half the time so don't aim to
be consistently great
but be but aim to be great at being
consistent
so i want to share with you a beautiful
story
and we are going to hear this name of
schlemmer freifeld
a few times tonight this story was told
to me by perhaps one of the greatest
women that lived in our generation
and that was ribbits and zahava
bronstein allah shelling
i remember i used to see her in camp
shearer all the time i had the
opportunity to speak many many times at
the same podium together with her
she was really an incredible human being
and she told me that when she was making
cheva brachas for one of her children
she her and her husband rob schlemmers
they wanted to have rap schlemmer
freifeld should come
to the cheva brachas but at that time
already rabbi freyfeld who was living in
far rockaway
was not able to get out of the house
and the only way they could do it he
said was if they would come to his
kitchen
they would come to his home and so they
came to his home
and that's where they had a cheva
brachus one morning
in rav freifeld's home and he told this
story
he told the story about the kotsuke
rebbe the kotsukureba was once traveling
in his area and he went to
hear the children who were learning
parshas voracious
in the heider now at the end of parsha's
voracious if you look it up and
veracious hey
possible that's where it tells us
who lived how long they lived and they
died
and it just happened to be that's where
the class was up to
so the kotsuki came in and he said to
one of the boys
new zealand where are you up to
so of course we know that in many years
they always learn hummus with a tune
with a negan
so the little boy said autumn or the
monkey left
and it says how many years nine hundred
and seventy
nine hundred and thirty volume almost an
asghar starburn
and then the next plastic by richard
simpson
shay said your left and it says how many
years he lived
and then left it says how many years
value almost
gets starving and the koski rebels said
to the little boy isaiah zuckman in the
passage that's not the right way to say
the bossic
and even the rebbe was looking at him
what do you mean the kid tight
properly
he said names so the kid little boy
little boy said it again with the same
she said your laptop how many years it
says and then almost gets darwin
and the koski said name that's not how
you say the prosec
and the review was surprised i mean the
kids said it perfect
so the koski said icho desogen i'll tell
you how to say the prosec
and he said like this by
said and you know what the lesson what
the katsuka was saying
and listen how our freifeld types just
a fabulous tai chi and apostate that we
all know we all say
in halo
v the simple meaning is lawyer almost i
will not die
but rather i will live asap and i will
tell over the glories of hashem
the way rafael titus the pasik ki has
many different meanings
lawyer almost i will not live a life of
death
key while i am alive
there are many people that live lives of
death
while they're alive they're slaughtered
they're not
levitic that's what the kosko was saying
he accomplished every one of us was
meant to accomplish something in this
world
every person comes to this world
with a tough kid as a matter of fact i
may have told you this once
that somebody once told me on my
birthday which happens to be too bishop
this person told me something that was
so invigorating
i could not get over it and it really
every single one of you from eight to
zakheim
every one of you every one of you
is affected by this comment that i'm
gonna tell you
but what that person told me on my
birthday
the day you were born that was the day
hashem decided
the world can no longer exist without
you
think about that every one of you the
day that you were born
that was the day that hashem decided the
world can no longer exist without you
that means hashem brought you to this
world to do something
we have somebody sitting here tonight
alfred khan
his life goal is to make sure that
everybody has life insurance
that's his goal in life and he's sitting
in the back you could talk to him he
doesn't sell insurance
but he gives advice about that he came
to this world
to save our modest it's unbelievable
how many millions of dollars he has
saved people
never when a tragedy strikes but because
that they had insurance
so this person it lives by
and you have to do it on a daily basis
that's what consistency is all about
now i want to show you something an
amazing amazing gemara
this is a gemara that every one of us
would
love to know the answer the gemara is in
megillah of zayanam
bays and kofres
28 different amaroyam
were asked the same question and we
would love to know the answer
you know what the question was how did
you live long
now every one of them lived long and we
all want to live long
so the tell me them ask their rebbies
how did you do it what was the secret
so the gemara tells us 28
different answers now if we're sitting
here tonight in brooklyn and eager shira
toyota
we want to live long what are you going
to do i'm going to figure out which of
the 28 should you do
how do you choose why is the gemara
telling us this
and now watch we're going to see
something so amazing
first i'm going to tell you what some of
them said
and then i'm going to show you the
common denominator and you could go
crazy it'll change your life
watch this the yesterday
i never made a shortcut from the show if
i wanted to go from avenue j
to avenue k i didn't walk through the
boston ashore to get through i walked
around the block
i never made a shortcut through the show
another one said rap prada said like hid
money
no one ever came to show before i did
i was always the first one in jewel
always
every day and then another one said loki
nisi shame
i never called my friend a negative
nickname now if somebody's name is yosef
and you call them yossi you know that's
not a negative nickname but we know that
there can be nicknames
you know that uh aren't very negative i
mean i'm just happy to tell you
something about yosef which has nothing
to do with the talk but
i could never forget it because my
middle name is yosef and i was once
sitting in a hotel in eritseal and this
bathroom came over to me
and he asked me he said you know what's
your name so i said pesach you're safe
he said you know what yosef stands for i
said no he says you
vet a special person now you never knew
that jasef stands for that right
but anyway but that's not a negative
nickname but that's what this one di
almost said
and the other one said i never got angry
in my home
so what are you supposed to do with
these 28 answers but watch this
you know what every one of them said
everyone would
when they asked a question each one
started out by saying
all my days in other words there was a
consistency
all my days i never made a shortcut
through shul
all my days i was the first one in shore
me oh my all my days i never called
anybody by a derogatory name
all my days me oh my i never got angry
at my home and my show says
we know that certain fathers have to lay
down the rules in the home
and sometimes you have to be a bit
strict but never
never with anger now listen to what to
say for hasidim says
you could look it up it's amazing simon
ratiod
if you see a talmud that lives long
dala you should know
he added something to his life that he
did
that his friends didn't do shayna
not those things that they lived long
not one of them is written in the torah
but
not one of those things is in the
territory it doesn't say that you can
make a shortcut through
it doesn't say nature you got to be the
first one to come to shul
doesn't say natori can't call somebody a
derogatory name
but every one of them said miyomai now
watch this
but the hamikdava denative and we're
going to talk about him later as well
you know what that says at the end by
departure
of sithis bhamir tezwa malef
he writes every one of us serves hashem
in a different way
media shall come and they adam shawn
everybody serves hashem differently
some do it in torah and even in
terrorists some like ions some like
bacchias
and some do love it in trilla and some
do said everybody serves hashem
in different ways and that's wonderful
and even in mitzvahs some do shabbos
some dude
everybody has different things but watch
what he brings to your xiaomi
kala mitzvah anybody who does
one mitzvah and he keeps it
up may tivoli he gets good and he lives
long days when
it's consistent
he undertakes to do something and he
never
ever misses it in my humble opinion
that's why ralph scheinberg lived over a
hundred years you know why
he was macabre on himself to do
something that nobody else did
he won many many pairs of citizens i
don't know how many you wore 50 60 70.
that's not the point if there's no way
that it was at the riser
because if it wasn't the right side of
islam allah would have done it ramosa
would have done it ravalayasha would
have done it
so he did something that his friends
didn't do but he did it
me oh my that's what the kumar is saying
by maharaja
so tonight before you go to sleep you
got to think about
what can i do from tonight's year at
eagle to
a torah i'm going to undertake something
it doesn't have to be a derisive samia
taiva but from now on
me oh my all my days we need this hussem
covet is not over we know there's so
many problems in the world
we all want to live long i'll give you
some examples
i'll give you some examples what
different people can
undertake for example from now on
let somebody can make your capola i will
never
ever bench unless i mention a sitter
if i don't have a city i'm not going to
bench i'll wait till i get to sit and
i'm going to bench
i will not sit down to eat until i have
a city that i know that i'll be able to
bench
rough shack always used to say and if
you take a look at it it says the school
of
panosa is to say brickham wasn't
carefully
and i'm not going to test anybody here
on a la mercha but you know very well
that when you're saying alameda you're
skipping three or four words
and when you're benching about there
especially on chapels which would say i
mean
it's a joke right so you got to make up
it doesn't seem to tell you got a bench
and a sitter
but this is a typical thing here's the
second thing standing
in one place when you say ashiyotsa
i don't have to tell you how many people
are sick today i have somebody
that is to me like a brother in south
africa his name is david aranowitz
i love him like a brother he has a swarm
store
in south africa the main swarm stone in
south africa if you look in all the
arts school books you'll see the cuddle
book shop in south africa
him and his wife
last week somebody came into the store
and had a terrible case of covert
everyone in the store
got covered he ended up in the hospital
she was in icu
she just came home before shabbas she
rather just came home before shabbas
and she still needs zero for slimer
where do we thank hashem that we're
breathing i don't see anybody here
in a wheelchair i don't see anybody here
on a run on a ventilator a respirator
when do we thank hashem when you say
ashiyatsa
you know what you can make up from now
on from tonight on
and i would never ever ever ask you to
do anything that i don't do myself
stand in one place when you say ashy
outside
and think about the world how does it
take nine seconds
colon your lungs your kidneys your heart
your digestive system
the blood the circulation system
everything
when do we thank hashem for all this
when we say ashiyotsa
it's kadai stand in one place
now it's interesting i've been talking
about this for a while and a lady once
called me she said rabbi cronin you're
right
because don't we say ef you have salam i
never thought about that
you have shalom to stand in front of you
so maybe that's something that we can
undertake miyami
it doesn't say that terry got to stand
in one place where you say ashley yotar
but that's a way to thank hashem for
your life
and for your breathing and for your
health
that's me oh my here's another thing
start saying broca's out loud so other
people could say oh man there's a whole
story
arab motion once gave advice to somebody
who needed an operation
and he told his wife tell your husband
you should be makable to say broca's out
loud some people should say
amen why you were thinking rama says
what he said on main is brigamatri in 91
alex
the word malach 91
he said every time you get somebody to
say on main or you say i mean
create some and the malach will protect
you
and that husband tucker had an operation
and he lived many years afterwards
from now on doesn't say in the torah you
got to say brah so cloud
let's be like those
days they all undertook something beyond
my now one was it the raiser
that's what i said but it was immediate
i'm sure you could come up with other
medicine you have to do the ones that i
said
but think about it get your family to do
something special get your child your
grandchild your spouse
anyone start doing something special
every day that's the consistency that's
the carbon dominant
and we're going to talk later about
doing every single day
but that's the consistency that we're
talking about
now i want to tell you about two
wonderful things
that every one of us can do on a
consistent basis
one of the great organizations and we
have so many great organizations
in claudia's role today of course eager
sheridan eagle shooter toyota's
right up there with all of them all the
great ones one of the greatest
organizations in claude israel
is torahanytime.com
millions without exaggeration millions
of
hours of learning are done
all over the world by the turret anytime
dot com people
shiman ko yakov and his brother reuben
they started many years ago and i'm so
proud to say i was
right in there right in the beginning
and everybody knows that anybody who
gives a share you always hear my voice
before and after
because i was right there right in the
beginning i trusted them i told them you
got a great thing going
many people didn't want to believe them
but today all over the world
now they have something that's called
daily dose and they started it
oh maybe about a year ago i'd have
hundreds of thousands of people that are
listening
now i'm gonna give you a telephone
number you could write it down you put
it in your contacts
and every day you will get a burst
of information in less than two minutes
and then at the end they
summarize it with one sentence and they
put it to music
and you get a burst of inspiration from
one of the speakers around the world
it's fabulous the number is 929-355-4268
again 929-355-4268
and you put it on your contacts and you
whatsapp them
just write add me and every day
you're going to get it right daily me oh
my
every day you listen to it wherever you
are in the world
you have a phone you have whatsapp
you'll be able to get daily dose
and you can email them daily dose email
torahanytime.com dailydose email
torahanytime.com you know why this is
good not only because it inspires you
but it's every day it's consistency
that's what we have to undo that
terrible catastrophe of
the carbon tubing no longer here we have
to become
people of temedius we have to become
people of consistency
and we do that hopefully that hashem
will bring us back to on big dash
and then allow us to bring the carpenter
morning and evening
here's another organization if you never
heard of this you will not believe what
i'm about to tell you
it's called dailygiving.org
now this was started by a doctor that i
know in new rochelle
he's a pain specialist dr jonathan donet
and he called me up and he called three
other upon him and he said
he has an idea wouldn't it be great if
we could get people just to donate
one dollar a day i said how are you
going to get people to donate one dollar
a day
he said look not everybody has the
opportunity to give stalker
every single day isn't it a govaldika
mediterra to be consistent and give
stalker every single day
men and women and children if they can
so i said so what are you gonna do he
says i'm gonna start a website it's
called dailygiving.org
and i want you and three other up on him
to judge i'm gonna present to you 80
organizations
and you four pick out 40 of them and
these 40 organizations as many people
as we get they will get every
40 days because it's only going to be 40
organizations
and i'll start over again we're going to
give them as many people as
signed up i said so what are you
planning he said i'm planning to get a
hundred thousand people to sign up
i said jonathan you know you're a nice
guy but you're out of your mind where
are you gonna get a hundred thousand
people to sign up
so go on daily giving.org you'll see
today alone they gave out six thousand
and seven hundred dollars to the
organization
they've given it out to 40 organizations
after 40 days
it starts again now they just added a
few more organizations because the whole
world is calling everybody wants to be
on it
they don't do gifts to your shivers or
basiaco's or schools it's organizations
like hask and mcdonald
and ursa maya tora anytime.com
these type of world asked high lifeline
these type of world organizations
go on dailygiving.org sign up it'll cost
you what 365 a year maybe a little bit
more because of the
376 a year but all these organizations
are getting money
every day from your soccer and every day
in the evening
you'll get an email that says your
dollar went to this and this
organization
and even if nobody gives another penny
they have so many people there's six
thousand seven hundred people that
signed up that in the next year
they're gonna give out two million
dollars of stalker
even if it stops today and this is
started january 1
2019 unbelievable one guy had this idea
everybody thought he's crazy how could
he how's he gonna possibly
do this but it's being done and the myla
of it
is consistency to medius
now i want to tell you a great story we
mentioned before rap schlemmer freifeld
loyola so there's a wonderful wonderful
safer that was written in english
it's called in search of greatness it
was written by abyakov reiman
and he took the stories and the shmuzan
of rabbi freifeld
and he wrote them up in a very very good
way very beautiful way he's a great
writer and in there he tells a story
the story is on page 125 and 126.
rafrifeld once went to visit the
khasanesh
this had to be in the early 1950s was
nifty in the 50s
and rafael told over in the shmooze that
he was
so intimidated to be in the presence of
the god ladder
he could not open his mouth to speak he
couldn't talk
he was in front of the god ladder
world but he said that spoke to me
and listen what the hazaris told him the
khazanes told them i want you to know
that many godolam of previous
generations were not geniuses
many godzilla of previous generations
were not
geniuses now three names were mentioned
now i have read these two pages at least
ten times
and i called rabbi ryman to find out
these three names of the
derelict that i'm about to give you i
still don't know neither does rabbi
ryman
were these three that niche pointed out
over these three that were examples that
rabbi freifeld gave
but either way they're both certainly
reliable
these were not geniuses but they became
good had their the first one was
enough totally too you heard the berlin
that we mentioned before the second one
was the kovner rover a beautiful haunted
spectre
and the third one was the
i mean could you imagine the question
was not genius
but freifeld said they each had four d's
and if you have a pen and paper write
these four d's down
because this these four these are the
key to success
and the key to consistency before these
are
desire dedication
drive and determination i'll repeat it
again
desire dedication
drive and determination if you have
those four you will be successful in
anything that you do
especially if you do it every day
that's consistency desire dedication
drive and determination
and i'll tell you something amazing
every one of us
in order to be successful has to have a
goal
you have to have goals in life you want
to finish a massage
that's great you have to have a goal and
i'm going to show you how to achieve the
goal
and how to plan the goal you want to
finish shasta that's
great you want to learn tanakh you want
to learn
you want to have a state of mission
anything you want to do you have to have
a goal
you have to have goals in life and i'll
tell you something that i
love how the habits learned a lesson a
life lesson from these
took him you could go crazy because
you and i would learn these took them a
hundred times and we would
never ever figure out what there is to
learn from them
and yet you'll see what the khabib time
learned from this passage
the possibility is a beret she should
base pasta in and it says like this
artichon went out to go to the land of
canaan
vallavoyu arts and he came with his
family to kanaan
so big deal why is the terror telling us
this
they went out to go to kanaan and they
came to kanaan
that's a whole passage what is the
telling us
every word every ice in the terrorist
khashogg
let's look at the previous parasha and
let's look of his father
avraham avina's father
and he took and he took light his
grandson
and he took sora his daughter-in-law and
the passage tells us
them he went out from our cousin
they were going to go to canaan and what
happened
then they stopped hey what happened they
were supposed to go from brooklyn to
lakewood they ended up in staten island
now there's nothing wrong with staten
island but if you meant to go to
lakewood what are you doing in staten
island
that's exactly what happened avraham of
you know meant to go to canaan and he
got to kanaan
meant to go to canaan and he ended up in
kharan
take a look at it
we have to be like avraham avinu we have
a goal
we got to get there
and if you're kabul on yourself to go to
canaan
awesome you got to get there
you don't change your way earlier show
up there to remain in the middle
you have a goal you want to finish miss
after marcus you don't end up with that
fjord
i remember i still remember when rav
guzman gave a hespit
afghustin gave a husband on one of the
russia shivers of
uh bessa talmud and never he was crying
he was crying nobody finishes masektes
they learn 10 15 blood and who's
learning the smallest actors who's
finishing with
us you have to have a goal
and i've once saw a great line a goal is
a dream with a deadline
you have to have a deadline you make up
your mind you're going to learn more
marcus let's say from now to rosh
hashanah
so how do you do it i'll tell you how to
do it
you write down your goals you write down
dates times and amounts
and you keep to that husband
i'm going to finish house you're not
going to finish us you got to have a
goal you have to have a plan
and i'll give you an example a small
example a little bit embarrassing to
talk about it but i'm going to talk
about it anyway because i want to show
you
how i believe you could accomplish every
goal that you set out to do
some of you may know that last year i
wrote a haggadah it came out right
before covet
and broke hashem was fine right after
that came out
of gaddafi's lottowitz from moscow said
to me okay you got to get started with
something else i mean they're
almost like slave drivers they want to
get you going
okay listen that's how you get things
done right so i said well what do you
think we should do
he said why don't you write on the
yeoman the roy and let's get it ready
for next year
i said what are you talking about we're
in june this was in june of last year
and he says yeah i'm telling you you'll
be able to do it just like you did the
haggadah you'll do something
and i love the idea so i sat down i
figured out
how am i going to do it how am i going
to do it
so the answer is you plan out a book now
most of the books that i've written
have usually about 100 stories so if you
plan we're not going to get 100 stories
right
but if you divide the year into 12
months
so then all of a sudden it's not 100
stories in the month of june i had to
get eight stories
right but eight stories in the month of
june means
every week all you gotta get is two
right two times four you got eight
so to get two stories a week it's not
the end of the world right
so i made a chart here's the chart right
here in june by the end of tune i gotta
finish eight
by the end of july i gotta have 16. by
the end of august i have to have 24.
but i didn't go crazy because every week
i just had to get two
if you think about how am i gonna get
100 it's never going to happen
and you know something i gave it in and
the book is
bears hashem my grandson helped me we
did the index we just finished it
and it's going to it's called yum and
the rhyme with the market and it's going
to be out at the end of august and time
for l
and everybody's going to be able to get
it but it only happened with seattle
deschmeyer there's no question
but with a planned out goal you have to
write out your goals
and map it out and if you do that you
can accomplish
anything as long as you have a plan
i once saw a great great vote don't
watch the clock
just do what it does keep going
it's a great expression don't watch the
clock just do what it does keep going
and if you do it in a consistent basis
you're going to be able to accomplish
everything that you want now i want to
show you something
we're going to see greatness the safer
ah writes like this again
about consistency take a look at it
based on
um a person has to be so careful
yes
high of from tonight on if you still can
do a husset for somebody i'm not saying
a husband to a wife a wife or a husband
that you got to do if you know what's
good for you
i'm talking about out of the house you
know somebody sitting if you can't
get there call them if they're not
allowing people in because of covet call
them you know a grandmother that's
sitting alone an older person that's
alone we all know people like that call
them
i can tell you what i did today i know
somebody never lost their job
i called the person it was a few weeks
ago i just didn't have the heart to call
when they lost the job right away i just
called them
and i said i know you lost your job it's
got to be so hard
but you're such a wonderful person and
you're so capable in your field i have
no doubt in my mind
that soon sooner than later you're going
to get another job
and it's going to be fitting for what
you are because everybody knows that
you're talented
and this person really is talented i
don't know what happened in that school
it's not my business but the person who
wrote me a text i just read it on the
way back
on the way here and she said i can't
thank you enough that you cared
to make that call that you care just to
give me the physic when i need it so
much
we all know people who need pick up the
phone
you can do a chassette every day that's
what the
saying every day every day you got to do
a favor
every day you have to learn something so
i want to tell you something
i want to tell you about two great
people
13 years ago for the first time i was in
australia i was never in australia
before
and i was brought in there to speak a
few times in different communities
different schools and schools and all
and the person that i stayed by was a
fellow by the name of izzy
herzog very wealthy man
tremendous balstaka a person who learned
and supports the kaila rabbi wurzburg as
kylo
in melbourne australia and he came to
learn every day
very very special person my wife and i
we were there for
a couple of days and then i came back
and we remained friendly
he passed away and this past thursday
night was his your time
now everybody knew that i was very
friendly with him
so they asked me if i would make a video
about him now
of course i knew something about him but
i didn't know so much enough to make a
video
so i called a few different people in
melbourne to find out about him
so i want to tell you three things that
struck me so much
especially since we're talking about now
that the time says
that you have to do a chassette every
day let me tell you three things that
izzy herzog did
the first thing that he did as i said he
was a wealthy man
every time he went shopping before
yandere with his children
he would take some of the poor kids in
the neighborhood
and he would buy them suits and shirts
and ties and jackets and hats
isn't that something that we could do
don't we all know kids in our
neighborhoods
that never they could be from broken
families
and either the father or the mother
whoever they're living with can't afford
to give them what you could give to your
children i know somebody who
every single time that he goes on
vacation with his children
he takes one extra child a child from
one of the kids classmates
who will never be able to afford to go
to orlando or to the poconos or wherever
they're going
and he takes them along what an
unbelievable
that is and what an unbelievable
question is for those children who
cannot afford
whose parents cannot afford a vacation
we could all do that
we just don't think about it izzy herzog
thought about it here's the second thing
a man in who i spoke to in melbourne
told me
that when he was 45 he was married with
children
his father passed away and he was very
close to his father he was so broken
because he was very close to his father
he said during the shiva izzy herzog
came to his house
and he said to him he took him on the
side he said i know that most people
feel
that when you're helping your yosem or
yosemite usually a child
but i know adults also feel like a yosem
or yosema when they lose a parent
especially if they're close to them
he said to the person who told it to me
he said from now on i'll be your father
anytime you want to call anytime you
want to talk about something
call me don't we know lonely people who
could use
our listening ear what a beautiful thing
but the nicest thing of all that i heard
about him was absolutely incredible
there was a poor boy who died in the
same troll that izzy david every morning
a 10 year old boy
and he never got spending money from his
parents his parents couldn't afford it
so izzy herzl called him over one day he
said listen i want to have arrangement
with you
i'm gonna put one or two dollars under
my tallest bag on my table
and whenever you come to shore nobody
has to see just pick up my towels bag
and take the two dollars it'll always be
there for you
every single day not once did izzy ever
take out money from his pocket to give
it to the kid
that would have been embarrassing so
don't we all know kids
that need money and the kid would come
in pick up the tallest
when nobody was looking before darling
after diving during down whatever
but he had his spending money what a
beautiful thing
and today there are many many kids out
there that cannot afford what your kids
can afford
include them that's part of it now this
past year we know there were many
many great people that passed away and
one of the greatest
people that passed away was raptovet
feinstein
all of us wanted this host to know him i
had this host to know him i can't say i
knew him well but many many times i had
bristol and first year shalom
and he was the sondik and he was always
the most humble the most special person
so after he passed away by the shlaishim
my wife is the principal and shabbat
high school in the hebrew principle in
sha'a kai skull and queens
and they asked me to come to speak to
the girls on the slayshem of rabdavid
so again you cannot speak about a person
unless you know him very well unless you
do the research
and so i want to tell you three stories
about rap david feinstein and then we'll
see
what it is and we'll see what caring is
all about
the first story i can't get over and i
printed it in this book that's coming
out now
it was on rosh hashanah it was the
middle of laning
and there was a guy in tracy shalayam he
noticed that his wife walked in with
their baby
and she was coming to hear that kias
but now she had to take care of her baby
so she motioned to her husband he came
and she said i've got to take care of
the baby i need a private place is there
any
private place that i could go he said
the only place i know is it up david
feinstein's office
let me see if i can get the key for you
and he goes over to rob dover he says my
wife needs to office she has to take
care of the baby
can we borrow the key i'll bring it
right back so that's it of course and he
takes out the key
and he gives it to the young man and the
wife goes into the office
and he returns the key right after
laning
comes to haftara
but he was the mockery he was the one
who called out tears from true
kia so they're standing at the beam of
the whole island
is waiting and abductor feinstein says
to the baltic air wait a minute
just wait he's wondering what are we
waiting for we just said the
sukkam now i have to say that sukkam and
then blow shafa
abdullah says wait and he's looking
around finally he sees the guy in the
back
that young fellow calls him up the
fellow's like
wondering what does rock david want from
him before schaefer
comes over with him quietly and rabdavit
says is your wife finished in the office
and he said yeah he said okay now we
could blow shayta
imagine that rob david feinstein the
godward dirk he's got 250 people
interested in lion
rose gate them on that woman that woman
with the baby if she doesn't hit kia
schaefer
which are going to get gear straight for
the rest of the day in the afternoon
that's godless that's what toyota is all
about
here's the second story the david meyer
of 10 o'clock
and transfers lime at night it's a
minute to ten
two minutes to ten and a guy walks in
obama bus walks in
and he goes over to rashid and he says
rashiva can i ask you have a very
difficult shiloh to ask
can i ask it after my address says yeah
for sure
then rap david looks at his clock and he
says you know it's one minute before 10.
so why don't you ask begin to ask me the
shyla the guy surprised because
he can't ask the whole child he said
it's a very difficult complicated shyla
but he starts asking the shia and then
as soon as he's
talking somebody bangs down the table of
home
so they have to stop and everybody drive
them i've including the bala boss and
rob david
afterwards the fellow comes over
throughout dirty secondary yes shield he
says yeah of course
and he repeats everything he repeated
before and he asked him to shiloh
abdullah thinks for a moment
and then he gives him the answer and the
guy is so happy and as he's about to
leave he says rashford can i ask you a
question if you don't mind
he said yeah for sure he said rashiva
when i
told you that it was a complicated cyber
you knew that in one minute i couldn't
possibly ask you to hold shyla
why did you ask me to ask you the shaila
you know i couldn't finish it
listen to what he said he said as soon
as you said that it was a complicated
i knew i would need a certain siata the
shamaya to give you the right answer
now i knew that in shamanism i was going
to dive and attach
that you're going to give me dust and
we're asking hashem to give us their
so i wanted to know at least the topic
of what the question was about
so i could doubt it properly that hashem
should give me the proper daya
that i should be able to give the right
answer that's
it i guarantee you by that time rav
david feinstein had probably answered 20
000 childhoods in his life but this man
said it's complicated
oh if it's complicated wait a second so
i have to darvan special that i should
be able to give the right daya
do you know and one of the things that i
wrote in this book your arts new raw you
know what
palm once told a friend of mine
he said every day when i say hosham no
and i clap your arsenal
you know what i feel bad that maybe i
didn't give the right advice
to so many people so many people came to
ask me advice how many times do people
come to ask your advice
doesn't have to be a big thing even a
small thing did you think about it
did you just answer off the cuff or show
them you were over your arts noodle
who thinks like that rough palm things
like that
but david feinstein thinks like that we
have to learn to think like that
you can't just give an answer just shoot
it out like that you have to
you know the person came to ask your
question it's obviously something that's
bothering them it's on their mind and
here's the greatest one
the greatest of rubbed over that i know
there's a fellow who prints a paper here
in brooklyn it's called jewish views
his name is arie hirsch i think the
paper is free it's like one of these
family newspapers
and every once in a while he will take
50 public figures and i'll ask them the
same question
it's always an interesting question and
then after a few weeks he gets all the
answers together and he prints it and
everybody can
see the various answers that they're
printing so three years ago the guy
called me up
and he said to me robert cronin i'd like
to ask you a question i'm asking 49
other people besides you
i said okay what's the question he said
if you could invite
any three people from other marisha
until today
if you could invite any three people to
your house for dinner for supper
which three people would you invite
think about that anybody got any answers
by mexico what do you say who would you
invite
david malek right that's great oh rob
david feinstein oh that's a great answer
that's a great nobody ever gave me that
answer that's terrific
i thought you were going to take david
that was one of the people that i said
i said mella you know a lot of women
call out sarah schneider rachel
i'm sorry i'll tell you i'll tell you
something it was heartbreaking
i spoke recently for i must have been
about
400 i'm honest there's a great
organization called somehow
so i mentioned this question so i said
to the women who would you invite
one lady said something it broke my
heart
she said eoif i said
nobody ever told me that she said he
went through
so much soros i just want to know how he
survived it
i'm telling you now wanna said that i'm
telling you i was so
moved by that so the first one that i
said was
the second one was rashi to me rashi
i mean i always feel that he's the most
compassionate caring person
and he knew all the rashes he wrote them
right
so he knew shah sinutanach anything you
want to know just call rashi he knew it
all right
so he was the second one the third one
was
israel together with the government's
heim in the 20s and 30s said those three
a few weeks later i rehearsed the editor
calls me up he says robert chrome don't
forget to get the paper this week
all the answers are there it is
right i have to ask him i said who gave
you the best answer tell me
i don't want to wait till i see it in
paper tell me who gave you the best
answer and i'm waiting for him to tell
me you know that i did right
he says rep david feinstein i said get
out of here you got to be crazy
you asked i'm double feisting this
question
he said yeah i was walking in the lower
east side i saw him outside your shivers
i'm figuring i'll ask him
i wouldn't have gone in to ask him but i
asked him i said what did he say
listen to what he said that he asked of
it which three people would you invite
you know what he said
three poor people
could you imagine that 49 people
including me
oh we're thinking about ourselves
imagine if i had russia in my house boy
i'd call the attack
i'd call army rhino commercial get the
photographers right
get the videographers me and dublin
right
49 people are thinking about themselves
if david feinstein is thinking who could
i invite that i'll do something for
him that's what it's all about that's
how you become a malheset
when you're not thinking about yourself
you're thinking about others
so let's review very quickly what we
said and we'll end with a fabulous story
let's remember butter atomic we came
tonight to talk about consistency
we want abrasion to bring us back to the
base of middash and allow us to bring
the curve into mid
we have to be consistent how do we
become consistent
by being great at being consistent not
consistently trying to be great
being great at being consistent
let's remember all those amaryam that
lived longer than
they all said me oh my and not one of
them did
anything that was at the right side
tonight before you go to sleep think
about it
what could you undertake that you will
do me am i
let's remember what the hazaris told
rabbi fry felt
that many of the previous generations
they were not geniuses
but they got heart of it they worked
hard and rabbi fryfeld told us about the
four d's desire dedication
drive and determination let's remember
what the
told us avraham aveeno went to go to
kanaan and he got there
he went to go to lakewood and he got to
lake where he didn't end up in staten
island
and let's remember what the tells us and
say
day got to be foreign with the khassad
every day got to be consistent
with learning something those stories of
izzy herzog
how we gave that boy under the talos
gave him two dollars two three dollars
every day
spending money took kids with him to buy
clothes
and he told that fellow he'll be his
father and abdullah feinstein
how we waited for that woman to be ready
so they'll be able to hit kia schaefer
and how we would invite the three poor
people i just want to end with this
story
that moves me greatly it moves me for
many many reasons
because it has to do with a great yield
that many many of us knew rabbi moshe
he was the president of agus israel for
many many years a fabulous asking
and he learned in israel he was a
classmate of my father of
shalom and every time i would see him
and he knew that my father
died young he would always ask me how i
was doing and he asked me about my
mother it was very special
but in may of 1998 he was very sick and
he was dying
and the dinner the 76 dinner was going
to be on a sunday night
and he knew as sick as he was that that
was going to be the last speech
that he gave that he would ever give
and he kept on asking the doctors if the
doctors think that he's going to make it
to that sunday night and they all
assured him that he would make it
so the week before he started writing
the speech now at that time
his handwriting was no longer smooth was
very shaky
and never he passed away the morning of
the dinner
and he didn't make it now
at the schloshen i was asked to speak in
rabbi reisman shaw
here in brooklyn to give sort of a
hespit and a memorial i'm rabbi shara
now once again of course i called his
son shimshi i was very close to him
and shimshi was traveling all over the
country giving joshua's about his father
so he said to me i want you to give the
final drasha that he was going to give
i said me i mean that's for you the son
to give he said no i have so much to
talk about
and he liked you he always asked you
about your father he was with your
father in israel
let me give you the last speech and he
faxed me
the handwriting on the paper the shaky
handwriting
of rabbi shara now listen to what the
final speech of rabbi sharon was going
to be and he knew
this was his last speech to claudius
trial and let's think
how this could affect all of us and how
this will tie this whole speech together
the posix says you test prosecute base
claudius is standing around hasinai
you should surround set boundaries
around
the mountain lamar tell everybody the
pasik tells us
hashem says to maisha he shall rule him
be careful about going up on the
mountain
anybody who touches the mountain must
you must he's going to die
har cena is so holy get everybody around
the mountain but don't
anybody dare touch that mountain because
that mountain is so holy isaiah state
and bossic
rabbi sharon said the kotsuka rebel
taitch dis passing but derek drew
in a totally different way now of course
it's bedarrow drush
but listen to the brilliance of the
katsuka rebel who we started with
in the hater
the kotsuku said many times many of us
start a goal
we start a project and after a while we
get burnt out
or we figured you know we're tired we're
old let somebody else continue we're
going to stop we're not going to
continue
zuck the helicopter listen what the
posix is telling us
be careful allah when you go up the
mountain you want to start a goal you
want to start a project
and you only touch it you only start it
but you don't finish
you don't have that consistency you
stopped in the middle
you weren't like of rum you didn't go
from one place to the other way you were
going to get to
he be careful when you start a project
and you don't finish it
somebody who just touches i don't want
to say the rest
that's not what life is all about and
these are the final words that rabbi
shara wrote
if he was ready to climb the mountain
altium and elohim
stop kimber moored don't be like those
that are satisfied with a little bit
ella la la smiler milo
go to the top be consistent go to the
top of the mountain
and reach it that's what it's all about
and that's what we have to do in these
three weeks we have to undo
that lack of to medius that clause
israel never lost on shiva
thomas we have to start being consistent
we have to make goals and we have to
follow the goals with a plan and if you
follow the goals then you'll reach the
top of the mountain
that's really what we're supposed to do
davis should help that we should be able
to go to your shelian
which is the top of the mountain and be
able to see the binyan base amigdas
and be able to see the carbon tumid
twice a day thank you for inviting me
and thank you for listening
[Applause]
shame agent should retire mrs boston
