like to welcome everyone to tonight's
year
all the people who are my tree have to
come in person
and everyone joining in through the
phone and through the stream bro
directly to supporters of tonight's year
mrs truskowitz
the foreign family
supposedly
eight five one eight six five one on
email ist
at yeshivanet.com tonight we have the
covetables once again official
notre the topic of sensitivity it's my
cover to call another chef stuff for
tonight's structure
everybody say how are you how was your
year anything okay
you believe it's a year ready wow wow
time flies and i'll tell you a secret
i think nobody's going to disagree with
me the older you get the quicker it goes
it doesn't slow down yeah yeah yeah the
older you get to quit no
quicker how many years ago did you start
irrigating
26 hashema valley right did you imagine
in the wildest of your dreams where it
would wind up
you probably is
so i always say when you get to do
something once a year
what's your thriller should exactly do
it next year also
and if you keep giving this feel of 120
times it's a pretty it's a
it's a pretty good mahalo the stypler
used to say he was very very careful
with things that he did once a year
except uh
shaved it even when he wasn't feeling
well because he said mitsuo guerrero
smithson
and if you do something once a year and
it's a guerrero smithsonian so like you
know guarantees you the next year
put everything else aside mitzva
guerrero smith so it's uh
it's a mathias that doesn't mean you
should only learn once a year that's not
what i'm saying i'm saying
is that you you understand what i'm
saying
so another school for that is to think
when you do something once a year
is to be my kabul upon yourself a
kabbalah bully nether of course
nothing major no gilgal shell like no
rolling around mountains or
walking barefoot on red ants i'm talking
about you know little things
and uh to circulate when from now till
next year i'm gonna try to hold on to it
and and all of these things are a
schooler for rehashim
says okay let's give him a chance let's
see
and i think that uh davis will help so
i'll give you now 20 minutes you could
all reflect on what you want to do tuvan
no okay you can do it on your own time
but an idea of what uh i had some ideas
last year
i'm not going to tell you whether i kept
them but at least it's something it
gives you uh
gives you a point from bracha to bracha
so shkaya thank you everyone for
for being here um i want to tell you
that this
is the best time for this year this is
the best possible time for this year
and that's on both ends it is the best
possible time for me to say this year
it is the best possible time for you to
listen to the sheer or relax or sleep or
whatever else you're doing
it's fine it's good you know the person
that was sleeping during this year
and the rough set and what are you going
to do tonight if you slept
he told the rev khazar is a good thing
you know it's uh
it's wrong okay
so i'm telling you that this is the best
time this is the best time for this year
for me to say this year for you to
listen to this year for you to be here
how do i know that how do i know that
and the answer is because we're here
because i'm here and you're here as a
simmons the best time for it
used to say used to say
that ibu this man is
when a person doesn't have a schedule to
his life
when a person allows time just to get
wasted you know what what is time
time is life all the billions in the
world cannot buy an extra
split second of life that that's what
time is
we understand the appreciation of man
so the truth is when you drive on the
bqe you see the appreciation of man
you see the appreciation of the man
heaven forbid you wait more than the
tafka day
shalom after a light turns green
you hear it kia godila because i guess
people are very makshev's man that's how
it is
you're trying to get onto the highway
you're almost getting on or someone
behind you like scoops you know scoops
ahead of you to get onto the highway
ahead of you
all these things so people have a
special appreciation as much
but all these people that are beeping
the kia godiva
because you're a bit too slow for them
okay
and it goes kia get out of my way true
uh
right and as they pass you another kia
just to let you know
so i want to know if you're if you're so
worried about the time it's taking you
an extra second because someone's a
little bit slow ahead of you
i i i want to know what do you do when
you get home
what do you do with your time when you
get home
on the highway losing in and out of
lanes you know what i mean that kennedy
is this and he's speeding he's looking
he's checking
so what is the time is so important
what are you doing with that time when
you get home
every night is to sit down and make a
denver henchman what he did with every
single minute of the day
and once the khabib was crying his heart
out crying his heart out i didn't know
what he lost
they could not believe what he lost he
was inconsolable and he said he lost
15 minutes there are 15 minutes during
the day he doesn't have a judgment of uh
of what he did with those 15 minutes
so i want to try to put time into
perspective as a man into perspective
when we get up there after 120 we're
going to have a lot of surprises
whole lot of surprises you know the
story that uh
the idola he gets up there gave a
tremendous amount of tzedakah during his
lifetime
and he comes up they bring him to this
gorgeous villa
ocean front palm trees all over the
place
birds flying around fountains they said
what's this this is this is the zedaka
the mice and typhoon you did in your
lifetime
then his wife comes by she starts
screaming at he said if he wouldn't hack
me a cup of our cholesterol and blood
pressure he could have had this 15 years
ago
but it's not true it's not true because
what we have in the eyelid ms means that
we maximized
every moment that we have down here and
we took care of ourselves and so on
but what's going to be the biggest
surprise when we
get up to to shania
so the mabit says
the down here in this world we view tvla
as a way of getting out of the tsara
comes time to dive and you know it's an
ace sorrow or geyser tightness and
there's unfortunately plenty of things
to be guys retiredness for
and he didn't get together young kipper
cut and the l is coming and
we cry we cry out to hashem you want to
come to answer us
yeah the rambam says if you don't scream
they cry you're an answer
when we get up there to shamayim there's
going to be a little bit of a reverse
okay
we'll like spin it a little bit we're
going to see the reality and the reality
is
that we down here think that that sarah
creates a platform for tv it's just the
opposite
because the world needs filler because i
need
trilla and you need feeler to connect to
hashem so mamela
there are curveballs in life it's
exactly the other way around
and understands that from the history of
shaitis and abyresius
there never were two schmoneseries that
were alike that means if you take every
single yid
and every single shmonis not only in
your personal life
there never were two shimon series that
are the same
why we do say the same words and the
answer is
because you're not the same person at
any given moment in your life
besides the fact that you biologically
you're
constantly changing
there are blood tests and dna tests that
can pinpoint your
how old you are exactly to the exactly
to the
to the second because you're you're
seeing us you're biologically constantly
changing you know the kid that got onto
the bus
until six you pay half fear he tells he
looks like a big kid he tells the driver
driver says him how old are you he says
he's six you're six
yeah you're six yeah when are you
turning seven
as soon as i get off the bus right
but there's there's a time frame we are
a different person every second of our
life
you can feel the difference when you're
80 to when you're 20
try to run up the mountain depending on
how much exercise you do
but the endless we're a different person
which means that every shmona estre
that we have and it's a different person
this person never died in this monastery
yet
this person never died this morning who
you are
but besides for that our emotional dna
all the things that make up the mix of
who we are
and every single person sitting here
every single person watching including
this person standing behind the standard
right
we all have our share of anxieties and
and concerns and things that we hope for
and frustrations and whatever it is
there's a certain mix
that mix is never the same and that
means that schmonastery that shema
tefila that you're crying out you're
reaching out to the others
help me who's me me is constantly
changing
time is extremely precious because it's
not repeated
but a vanishing doesn't keep us here
extra we have only
one moment which is a perfect harmony of
nephesh of the people that are around
you the mood of the people that are
around you the situation in life
where you are who you are how old you
are how old the people around you are
that mathias happens only once in a
lifetime
it's constantly changing so the
narrative that was here before the sheer
was one
of the marv that is after this year is a
different marathon hopefully after this
you'll be much more rested and so
so i saw a pellet story crime koniewski
when he was preparing for his uh the
show
quote-unquote date meeting with his
basherta
so it appears the way i understood the
story
that it was was it was the shia right
coming into shavasana towns
and he was in the middle of taking a
haircut and he probably pushed it off
until the last minute
and halfway through the haircut he looks
at his watch
and he tells and he tells the person
giving the haircut stop
three weeks can't cut your hair he says
you you can't
go see your person that could have been
your wife with half a haircut
i'm not sure if the back if you already
caught the back of me it could be the
front of the hair in the back was still
i
i don't know maybe there's a difference
but especially if uh
like you can't okay what do you mean i
should stop he says stop this
a nights of ain't food and i got hashem
it's this man
what do you mean it's this man i mean
it's this man
well what could i finish in three weeks
in there
so they ran to astor khazanesh does he
have to go see his
possible wife with a half a haircut
and the khazan ish said if you started
this that's what it says if you started
in this man then you could finish the
haircut
i have to wonder did his smile when he
got this island
but i think there's so much to learn
from this like most of us would say
of course you can finish i mean i can't
go to a date with a half a haircut
a one pile of shoe or whatever
guess what this man is this man it stops
and i think what it shows of refrain
even as a booker there's no there's no
playing around
with this man that every moment in life
is precious and a moment that passes
that you didn't use is lost
here's who you are so it says that there
were 10 things that akash baku created
one of them was shaded spooks and shade
them the thing your little
ankle or a child screams and you come
running in the middle of the night and
you tell them
there's no such a thing as a ghost
that's what you say you try to convince
yourself and your child
you know what i mean and the drapes like
you know
slap back and forth in the wind there's
an image of something in the moon and
you say
telling you there's no such a thing as a
ghost no thing has a shade
they're all gone they're gone they're
gone they're not here anymore
so why are there shade them so it says
the avista created
the ruach and the cottage barker was
going to create the golf
bring bring shabbos alarm you can't be
stuck with a rock without a goof
you'll have a ghost too bad
but it comes back who's a bakla yucca
and it doesn't take it cut this barclay
time
so why didn't the kadzbarku start the
process and we knew he can't finish it
and the answer is to teach us because
imbued
finish this kayak time is over it's over
gang invite life is up
last words that the hadous said to his
enocle this was like
what does that mean what does it mean it
means an understanding of listen
i'm i know where i'm going now you have
to take over and appreciate life for
what it is because it won't last forever
for you
also the cassava sofa was crying
it was a young man he was crying his
head off his father was the cypher was
very sick
except seifer was relatively young he
was 24 years old he took over as a rover
of pressure
some people in presbyter 24 year old
i don't know if he could be rough i know
he's underage
well i said it was pushed through but
when he saw it
alex of cypher was crying except for
when he was very young
he looked like it looked like it was all
over i think that
i think it was he was like five years
old the doctor said it's all over
the little act
some cypher took his till him stood
there by the corner cried his heart out
the entire night i remember the exact
story
and afterwards he turned around and he
said to his wife
i got another 50 years for it whatever
that means
so cypher was nifty when he was 50 and
he was 55 years old
and every single year he i think i'm
kipper he lit one of those neighbors to
drop the nervous that the
thing but here he's he's losing his
father's some cypher wasn't horrific
horrific pain
terrible terrible pain
and he saw the cypher crying and he
called him over he said why are you
crying
so he said what's what's going to be now
some cypher said what's going to be he
said
i'm going to give you a break and he
said he picked up his two hands and he
put him
on his head and the cypher later said
that my father's hands
were like burning coals and he said to
me
on your right side will be your zeda
rebecca vega
on your left side will be your other
zeida the kaiser shoes
on the top of you he said will be
said the name of a certain alec sorry
don't remember the name
and he said i'll be behind you don't
worry about it don't worry about it
relax he uh
after some cypher passed away the south
cypher became rav and it was chavez
and he sat down to try to prepare at
russia and he drew a blank
from the pakhan you know standing up to
preschburg these were lions and
his teeth coming into his father's shoes
instead of russia they if you had they
had
they had a kasha they let you know they
like you know he was steamrolled and he
couldn't
come up with anything he learned to
learn he was so
broken that imam is out of tsar he he
dozed off
and his father said what's with you
what's with you what you learned right
what's your problem he says that i i
don't have
russia say he says that some soy forgave
him what to say
i got it to and russia and everything
else he said it's yours
it's yours and he said it's russia the
24 year old said russia the people
couldn't believe it they felt it was
mamashaka's father's russia
they could not believe it and they say
after the russia someone told them that
says
he says it's mama told her of your
father he said actually this
russia wasn't he said he didn't explain
what he meant until later he said
that his father gave him the drash i
think there was an understanding listen
this is your role up until this point
and it goes further why should many
wanted to come in terrence israel
david just said no he said can i can i
be a a shar no
can i be a bird no
mashem who said at least the bird has
has time that he could use
time is up we have to use our time down
here at this world
we want to put time into context how
precious time is in april
2018. the canadian research ship the ss
keroulis um trav
went on a mission up and down a thousand
miles
along the east coast of nova scotia
and its job was to scan
where the best place would be to put in
a new transatlantic
optic line between new york and london
and the purpose of it was that if i'm in
london and i say i want to buy that
stock
i want to buy that stock now i want that
trade to go through as quickly as
possible
and with this new transatlantic line
it would take 59.6 milliseconds
for the trade to go through from london
to new york or from new york to london
and before they put in this new
transatlantic line
took forever a trade between new york
and london took 64.8 milliseconds
you know how much this line is projected
to cost
a mere 300 and milli 300 million dollars
300 million dollars could almost buy a
house in borrowport
300 million dollars
to lay this line at the bottom of the
atlantic
to gain 5.2 milliseconds
what is 5.2 milliseconds right
because you know if you get you got to
get the trade before the other guy gets
it
you're talking about billions of
trillions do we understand the value of
time
can we possibly understand the value of
time
the value of oman yahish may rab at a
given moment
the older you get the more likely it's
going to happen you got washed
someone took you apart piece by piece
you were so hurt you did someone a favor
you really did someone a favor and now
you needed a favor back and the guy said
excuse me who are you
and and you you feel like a shmata
grind it up
and you say banish them okay everything
is in your hands whatever's supposed to
be
that that that that millisecond that you
say
i'm a kabul everything but if it wasn't
for sure to me to happen it wouldn't
happen and
and that's the way it is gangan is
gangan
somebody told me he came home one night
and years ago i always remember this is
his wife with him above russian she
wasn't even like it
she was upset about something which even
makes sense it wasn't his fault it was
one of those days
she took him apart from the room all the
things he did wrong for the last 20
years
and she had perfect memory she forgot
nothing i felt like you know what hit
him
and he wanted to explode he just said
okay it's per shared okay it's my shirt
said he came into office the next day
and whatever one of his partners
was was arrested a whole garacha he
found that afterwards that it could have
been him or it could have been his
partner
so you know the partners after only you
know who knows how many millions of
legal fees so he said it was very clear
that akash baraku said okay i can give
you this instead of that
don't don't argue with hashem don't
argue with him
just take it take it for what it is
we're coming into shemitah right
so i remember i was making an appeal for
keri nashviles uh years ago and they
gave me a bunch of farmers to talk to an
artist's role
and what happens to farmers right they
told the mice him that he was
shyamushriyas and at the end his
cinnamon started to grow and everyone
eated cinnamon oregano started to grow
and i don't know some kingdom in serbia
needed a oregano old nissan of the
floyds
right the little famous story with the
grasshoppers that didn't eat up the
locusts
that what went around camis and they
telling me they're my fist and writing
it down for the appeal
and they leave the best one for last and
i speak to this guy a real farmer farmer
on the phone i didn't need a picture to
see what he's like he's munching in his
cigar
he goes um

baby had a baby this year

was saying yeah
yeah like the representation says you're
going to ask hashem says you want the
brock on the field i'll give it to you
you want to just take the punch hashem
says
i know better than you now when you need
the brah
see there's a famous story a lot of such
stories you know common such stories
this this this buckler is a little bit
of a
i should say in a nice way expansion now
let's say to the overweight
expansion um first right the other side
a little bit he went up a ladder
the ladder was not reinforced enough and
he came zets him down with all of the
sword and
he was like packing the swarm away the
oil and burst into laughter
so baker went over to me said please
please can you give a bracha for my
for my son to my brother become a
hussein and
take those business and give it away i
said okay
no problem no problem that's a human
moment right it's very embarrassing
i'm crashing down the ladder hashem says
that
you stay out of it because you don't
understand what it means if you're
overweight and you come crashing on a
ladder people are laughing at you
you don't get them let me tell you
something
you can give yourself a bracha also
you're embarrassed you're hurt you're
frustrated
it's one of those days you can say okay
reminisce help me
it's good to give other people but you
have a kayak to give yourself a bracha
also
use that moment because agma snapfish is
very unique
and the exact amount of agmus nephesh
exactly how it plays itself out will
never repeat itself twice
and every atmos nephesh is is a kayak
for a different brotherhood
ran away from bells in world war one as
most sadiq did
then he ran to vienna he wound up in
hungary

husband
shop is not going the city shop is not
going to country whatever it's going to
be
lost opportunities children this year
nice
and people have so many nasiangas it's
it's who i am for this matter but it's
only after the shabbos let me make it
work
let me not blame the focus on my
scorecard
this is where i am once we had a story
of two people that
they were part of a military
intelligence unit in world war ii
they parachuted out they were supposed
to land some place place in the german
city
and someone mixed up the maps and they
landed in like a swamp or in a mud
and they were like sinking in the mud
and they're like struggling with the
parachute to get out and one of them
said they messed up it's not the first
time they messed up
i'm writing up a report against him he
said any any minute the germans are
going to be here
he says you want to write up a reporter
you want to die he says you want to live
we got to move on
you're in the mud move on i'm afraid if
there's a boy we call i
mean that knows if you're in the mud
you're supposed to be so there's a
gedalia moisture of zavil
you know i've said this story before but
every once in a while i like repeating
it the vidalia
of zavil was the son of the helicopter
of the ville
and it is 1948 and yerushalayim is being
shelled and there's death and
destruction and all corners and nobody
knows what the next split
second is going to be nobody knows
what's happening
it's it's sarah shane come on so let me
back pair a little bit with this story
there's a yiddin years in the mattress
and he had from the sounding of guidance
she was the son of slumped
he had a briefcase with private things
that was arusha nobody was supposed to
look into it
and once his ain't nicole's grandchild
was there and he said to the rabbi zadie
you have a briefcase from gedalia mush
of seville he said yes i do no one is
supposed to look inside of course
okay i'm going to the sadr kedoshan okay
are you okay here alone yes
remember don't look into the briefcase
you never tell a kid don't look into a
briefcase you know
never tell you don't hang upside down
from the fire escape because
so the kid says no i'm gonna be a good
kid my zadie said
not to look in the briefcase i'm not
looking in the briefcase
no way and he went he has it over the
gemara he learned the whole week
has it over the tysons he did all the
kids
he did all the mashinayas he did his
homework he said it's still him he was
navra sedra
and he looked at his watch all of 30
seconds passed
why does he do it the rest of the time
pretty boring
and that briefcase looked so geshmach
he says that saddik said and he promises
zayd not to look in the briefcase
but if he opens up the briefcase and he
takes the contents of the briefcase out
and puts it aside that's not cool
looking in the briefcase
so pop-pop he opens up the briefcase
grabbed it was locked but that wasn't
much of a problem for him
and he closes his eyes for sure
not supposed to look in the briefcase he
takes everything out puts it on the
paper
and he starts looking and sees different
things one of the things he sees is an
old crumply yellow paper
and on this yellow paper are 50
signatures
50 signatures it looks like they're
signed like in here there here there
and all the way on the bottom there's a
signature
from the rebbe and the rebel writes
the gum annie or rave badam i'm also a
guaranteer for them
he recognizes some of his names it's
fascinating he wants to know what these
signatures are he doesn't know
all of a sudden he hears his grandfather
coming and he's worried his grandfather
may not have to lump this they never
really looked into the suitcase he
quickly rolls it up quickly puts the
position quickly closes this runs up the
ladder puts it back where he came jumps
back down opens his camaro
his grandfather walks in you okay you
look out of breath
toughness tough tesis i've been working
on it it's like i'm hard
really hard and it goes zaydia
can i ask you what oh can't ask him
right
he can't ask him because he wasn't
supposed to look in the briefcase
but he was dying of curiosity many many
years later
someone he goes teaser he's a rosh
yeshiva
and he goes to be menachem oval
the year in euros was the ishkada she
was a biannu
his name was if you know it was the
issue of scholars he was rasha shiva
square for a while
and go online about rehabilitation for
hours
so he came to him and ahmad then and
he's sitting there
and he hears them talking about 50
signatures a medallion moisture of
seville
a paper this kid that didn't look into
the suitcase

guy who's right

he tells them can i talk to you for a
minute they walk out to the next room he
says i

so he runs to rav dzinski the rubbish

wife is dying what should i do
he tells him he says he's not here
anymore quarter of he used to go to the
midfield
himself he would come up with a yeshua

he says okay take
50 people and get them to sign
that they give away a year of their life

he said rabbit there's a war outside
people are dying buildings are caving in
no one knows that we're going to be
alive the next second like
how in the world am i supposed to go
knock on the door i'm not going for an
adult can you just give me a year of
your life it's not going to work
tax deductible it won't work have a
credit card machine no no it won't work

so the rebel said okay tell them to
anyone that's willing to sign that paper
that they're willing to give away a year
of their
life for your wife that
i am i guarantee them to live through
the war
now he's running and the jordanian
artillery
doesn't stop a bunch of people running
into whatever the bomb shelter was in
those days
the mclart and he runs down he runs down
he's inside
and these people are screaming and it's
hard and they're yelling at each other
and
nerves are a wits end and he goes right
over the blind side they're going no no
appeal now
because i anyone can i please have 50
people
to sign that they're willing to give
away a year for my
a year of their lives for my wife
looking at them
what any second this building is caving
in that's what stood up from zinnians
so he says of gedalia marcia of seville
said that anyone that's going to sign
this paper
he's going to promise them to live
through the war there was a mad
dash to sign that paper people had to
get
to sign the paper he couldn't even grab
it he brought it back to up the dahlia
militia
and that was them go home and it's his
wife lived another 50 years afterwards
51 years 51 years afterwards and now he
understood what it meant that if gedalia
moisha
also signed the bottom of the paper and
he said the gamuni are rev
i am a guaranteer for them think about
this for the moment
do we have an appreciation for life you
have to stop and rush it says you wake
up in the morning and you say
that you know what that means you woke
up
that you're alive no but what my wife
did to me
what my mother-in-law said to me well my
husband
nobody in the world was ever as
frustrated as i was really
let's not get into the suffering of the
hidden in world war ii because it's
can't even go there i want to say a very
interesting fact
russian
soldiers that became prisoners of war to
germany
they were in german prisoner of war
camps they were not exactly at first
class hotels
they were tortured they were beaten they
were starving
less than 20 percent survived less than
twenty percent of the russian soldiers
that were taken as those that they wrote
that they took prisoners
somebody just killed him less than
twenty percent survived you can imagine
what they went through
the war is over they're back home to
mother russia
and father stalin was not very
interested and then he said off to the
gulag
siberia for you sent them all to siberia
i mean prisoners of war come home like
that
you run out to greet them right you
embrace them that's like that touches on
the heart of the
of the country and it's sacrificed huh
stalin had two problems
one is what do you mean you've taken
prisoner you should have fought to the
death that alone is a marie de bomacas
that you had taken prisoner
and number two he was very concerned
that if they were in german prisoner of
war camps what if they became
sympathetic to germany
you never know after starving to death
and being beaten and tortured could you
become sympathetic to germany that
wasn't stalin's mind
he wasn't taking any chances they had
already too much
you know the west connections to the
west
you know they say power corrupts
absolute power is absolute corruption
and he sent him off to he sent him off
to
the gulak to siberia it's almost
impossible it's mind-boggling
so if they survived the german prisoner
of war camps they were sent over to
siberia because stalin didn't want to
see that
now i want to tell you something
the first of all i read once read in a
book by the yiddish a prisoner of war
who said he was watching that with these
these russian soldiers that risked their
lives in the country and i don't want to
say what they did to themselves we said
the ones that said that
the ones that like ate themselves up in
frustration we risked their lives for
our country
this is what you do to us they didn't
survive they were dead they were
supper for the polar bears the next day
the ones that said it is what it is
we've got to learn how to survive here
figure out how we get out of here
they're the ones that survived
so what stalin mean i think he killed
more people than anyone else in the last
century
and he haven't been ashamed haven't been
ever have a minute that somebody
you know made fun of the shabbos the
goddess russia he killed an entire town
but if you think we can't all in a
certain way
adapt stalin's mentality we can't
there's no tire there's no midnight so
we sink we sink
so a lot of times somebody tells me what
what what i went through with my spouse
nobody was ever as betrayed nobody was
ever as betrayed about these russian
soldiers were betrayed
more stop measuring who was betrayed
more
deal with the situation reverend wines
has a beautiful story
it says he was robbed in florida and
there was a year the teacher of
grundworld niffler and he came to
florida
to rest up a little bit and he was there
for a while in the winters anyway
and they made a khabusa shaft and he got
very close to him
and he once asked him rav grundwell how
did you survive the war
you know they're sitting in there and
between the avocado trees and the
mangoes and how did you survive the war
so he said he was in the moonka it was
the monket with the hungarian
work battalions what they did in hungary
in romania they took the yidden
they were drafted they were soldiers
right they were jewish soldiers
no arms no way to protect themselves
but they were human mind sweepers you
know the person that came to travel to
one of those countries and
i don't know one of the stands the zika
something stan and
he said i see that uh you accomplished
something you many years ago
you used to beat your wives now i see
your wives are walking in front of you
it's unbelievable they said
their mind's over here that's that this
is the reason we're doing that
they were mine sweepers they were human
mind sweepers
they were put as buffers between between
the two shooting armies
that should be killed and protected with
human shields
and most of the hidden in these uh
hungarian and romanian work battalions
did not survive
as a matter of fact 80 or 90 were killed
um he said i survived a year and a half
i said somehow survived a year and a
half we were digging trenches under live
fire
and all of a sudden the russians came
and what the russians do to us
enemy soldiers we were arrested and sent
off to siberia
he says i was four months i was in
siberia
he says people fell like flies
between the cold and the malnutrition i
said at least when we were in the
labor battalions we were hoping the
walker come to an end
now there was nothing to hope for what
was there to hope for we were at subrahe
and i knew it was only a matter of time
and i can't survive i'm not going to
survive this
and the nkvd officer was a yadily called
him in he said to him look
he says green world really don't belong
here it's not like you're an enemy
soldier you
you're a sh you know you you were sent
into a nightmare of a gandhim called the
work battalion now you're
the russians treated like an enemy
soldier he said write a note
write a note to laser keganovich was a
brother-in-law of stalin
i don't know if he was i wouldn't give
him exactly siddhar kadusan or
adekidoshin or
itunes but he was a brother-in-law
stalin he says and tell him you don't
belong here
he's like what what i'll write a note to
take another she says you write the note
i'll get it to him
so he felt it was a just a trap it was a
trap there was no point in doing it but
after a while he said it's
his only hope he's not going to survive
this
so he wrote the note and he wrote you
know that he was
he prayed every single day the russians
should win the war you know the germans
are
they put him in there they dig the
trenches now you're treating me as an
enemy like
i'm your most loyal person and one day
many months later
a fancy car pulled up four flags
and out comes some fancy person he goes
who wrote the note to kaganovich
he
they said says him you don't belong here
you're out
the only thing is i need you to tell me
who wrote the note
who gave over the note who'd you give
the note to how did the note get to
keganovich
so he says you know the rule in the
gulag was you survive and you let
somebody else die
i said lamaisa i don't know what this
guy did i don't know if the whole thing
is just a ruse but
he said i'm not going to betray him even
though it meant he's going to die and if
we understand that we in seriousness he
says
i don't know from any note i didn't
write any note the question is
he says i'm giving you a week and that
i'm leaving you're not going to survive
who wrote the note he continued to deny
that he wrote the note
doesn't know of any note it doesn't know
who told it he didn't want to betray
this nkvd officer
the end he said they put him on a train
brought him back to romania
and a true russian style with a very
very moving goodbye they pushed him off
the moving train
the nest he survived but he made
it back to his people you know
came to canada where he was afterwards
and i'm thinking about you know
like after what double cross betray
betray and you're loyal you're a little
you don't want to say who wrote the note
say
wrote the no what's our excuse
i've had it i've had it with being nice
to people i've had it with being
sensitive to people well
who are you one of the brothers we say
by hope is barak
hashem
he says they should just recreated you
you're not you become a husson again
and the abilities michael you again and
again you ain't sir adam you're
constantly being created right
it says the closing garage you know what
david says because that's the moment
that everyone like
appreciates the moment of the moment of
your hope that you appreciate
are there exceptions to the rule yeah i
once saw a hustle like blow up at his
brother
where are my cufflinks marriage didn't
last very long
huh they say arya levine
say this a lot he came into the room he
had no present to give to his wife
so he told her he gave her a present he
said whenever we have an argument you're
right
i'm telling you right now so i told the
story somewhere i didn't mean for the
hustle to repeat it
he said he said it to his wife in the
room whenever we have an argument you're
right she said you're starting up
already
over here so i guess it depends how you
say it
i guess it depends how you say it
but the the everyday ups and downs the
closing mcgraw says good varth again
the everyday ups and downs in marriage
and you appreciate someone else's
sensitivity
and you really should say oh i should
appreciate sensitivity right i shouldn't
say who wrote the note after i was
double crossed and double crossed forget
it
i do mine it says abhishek you're a
hustler you're recreated
yo is not a one-time bracha it's
something that keeps on happening so
there's a gillian
protest and it's sort of a beautiful
story there
this person writes that he was in miron
for chavez he lives in beijing she's
driving out
and as they're leaving a lot of traffic
and he's working his way down the hill
over there
so his wife's phone rings
their next-door neighbor and they
chammish yeah
our hussein was also me wrong for
shabbos oh very nice
and so on yeah nice for you um
he left his cell phone in the deera
are you stealing me wrong can you go
back and get it his wife says go back
that
he's like no people do that to him you
know you know what it's like on a friday
afternoon to get from bar park to the
bqe are you still in brooklyn could you
go back
so that means to go back
and his wife said come back and he's
like i'm sick and tired of him
goes back as he goes back
his wife says you know the family that
we stayed by they have a farm nearby
oh no now you want me to fertilize
something no no they have a box of fresh
fruit
and vegetables they gave us mom is so
fresh and almost forgot it
can we go pick it up tell you what
there's so much fruit we got from the
fish house packages we are drowning in
fruit okay
i'll give you we'll have plenty of fruit
no but that fruit was like really fresh
can you please go back
sure and he says he goes back for it and
he can't
he can't drive up he says okay you know
i'm just gonna i'm just gonna
i'm not walking in there he says okay
i'll bring it because can you drop back
the car all the way up i can't back the
car
up the hill you could but so no problem
as he's backing the car up the hill and
he goes out and he's about to schlep the
box
so his wife wants to call him and tell
him that
the the there's another box there of
fruits and vegetables
and he hears his phone ringing
and it sounds like it's ringing in the
garbage can
he goes what he tells us why he goes
where's my phone
he tells his wife because of this entire
conversation she never called him
because can you call again it's calling
in the garbage can so he says somehow
he was by these guests and his phone
must have stayed on the table and wound
up in this big garbage can
and now he heard it he said it was a
brand new phone and he managed to get it
out
so he writes something i know it's not
like you know this and because of that
there was a shidduch
and because he went back he saved
crowley's throne he found the terrorists
and saved the whole thing
nothing dramatic he just found his phone
but it was like a kadashbacho letting
him know
you broke your actions
i said don't worry about it you were
sensitive to someone else's feelings
you didn't stop making kashminus take it
easy
relax you know there was a certain
russia shiva claim very
uncharacteristically
would not talk to him would not
talk to him he once asked him
he said you had a tight you had a
talented label so label was a yosem
and did not want to take him into the
yeshiva they pushed him in
manage that soros that he made me film
it
only after you know what he did you feel
mad
okay we walk in one day and the whole
barn collector is shaking back and forth
and shaking back and forth we don't know
what it is
somebody's saying rather big madrega i
go
i open it up and this huge goat comes
crashing out on top of me
probably the ones that the city brought
in to either prospect park or something
one of them wound up in the ironclad
dish
and label is laughing and i said
label pack your bags
and he said you know this label later
became it became leon trotsky
he led the red army eventually
uh interesting eventually
on him and because he was like sending
in his people to he knew he knew all the
insiders
it was like right afterwards he got into
a little disagreement with stalin
which meant he had to run for his life
he wound up mexico someplace and even
then he has visitors that
was in mexico that he assassinated him
yesterday right mexico city
so as i said you would have not thrown
him out he was a young
you've had it who says you know he says
well it was a part of the frustration
that's how it is they push these kids
into yeshiva then there's nothing to
talk to
then it's your fault you know there's a
lot of frustration you're right
so deal with it deal with it
we're not going to live in the world of
where you are sir vaisay
don't write yourself off even if you're
the one
that put the goat into the arkansas
you see we learned from here it's my
fault i'm the one that put the guard in
the archives
i did things i shouldn't have done in my
marriage i did things i shouldn't have
done in my neighbors okay
don't throw yourself out of the yeshiva
either be sensitive to yourself
you know there was a scary story came
out in the press this week
that one of the iron domes in the last
war
i bring the ghoulish lama almost
almost misidentified
an israeli f-15 and shot it down you
read did you read that jeff david
and it seems it was a very close call
and never shot that iron dome missile
realized the last second
that it was that it was going after an
f-15 it's going after it
it was gonna shoot was gonna take down a
plane he detonated it
the he detonated the the missile
prematurely
even then it did damage to the plane but
the plane survived it was it was a quick
risky decision but he had no other
choice i think to myself
if only we could do this you shot a
missile it's going in the wrong
direction it's going after your wife
it's going after your husband it's going
after
only we could detonate it right we could
blow it up before it hits
just just stop where you are it says
trust me there's a certain amount of
agma snafes a person has in his life
it's measured to the milli millisecond
you won't have a drop more agmas never
sends bashar
but what you can do with it you can do
so much with it
ultimately you'll reach manuka and if a
person is
he feels that
uh and i'm collecting for the hidden in
pleasing you know
very hungry there okay here you are
all right it's not the way you're
supposed to give unless you give you
give you
nidava goes on your menuhan shabbat says
i i i'm not in the mood of having manuka
okay i cannot tell you i cannot tell you
what's waiting for me after showers
i can't tell you what's waiting for me
after charlotte said i can't i can't
you know what i'm donating manuka i'm
donating it it's not mine i'm donating
it
and if you do menu you'll be saying
you'll eventually get there you'll see
you're going to get there
said don't come in don't worry about it
i know i've said this story maybe one
too many times
but every once in a while when i'm in a
crisis i like repeating the story
because it's a good story
so if you've heard it i guess that's a
good time to stop being mad cedra or
something or whatever
this man he has 13 daughters
he loves them he's such a happy guy
parkour is
whatever shem gives me is good ask him
for a bracha for a ben zakhar
because he says the rabbi have 13
daughters i love them very much you know
maybe
13 items that's right that's right but
maybe maybe you know maybe
i should have bought those aspirin boxes
wholesale right
maybe the menorah
you know it goes with those minorities
there anything i'm in there buying a
manure for my cousin
well what are people buying i want to
look well the average one does this if
you want to show he's special you do
this right
then the next year the average one does
this you want to show your special you
get up on the ladder
okay whatever the case may be so he
tells the rebel you know it's not i'm
not the biggest rahman is here and i
love my daughters
ben zucker is a good thing you know so
the rebel looks and every kind looks at
him he says i can give you a bracha for
ben zakhar
but you may not understand it never i
don't have to understand things
you may get frustrated i don't get
frustrated so easy
that's why i trust you with the brah
you're going to have a ben zucker
therish walks out and they say his name
is marriage he walks out he's jumping
for joy they're ever said i'm gonna have
a benzalke
calm down calm down he's ordering the
bundle for it's a done deal he's gonna
permit

the polish office

window he wakes up this old polish clerk

is
to go back to the rabbit something's
wrong nothing is wrong everything is
good nothing is wrong
i don't have to understand everything he
gives a kid it's like this town never
saw such a gimmick

was in this town there was rosh hashanah
yum has a daughter it was on the
calendar all the calendars that
when they printed the count as the
beginning of the year they already had

thing it was pre-printed finally finally
finally mastered
and bearish has twin girls
go back and look at eight or nine years
later he has a son
and they thought he's going to go
through the roof and he goes well of
course the rebel promised
anyway fast forward 10 years later the
russian commissar and zhevra
surround the town they're looking for
draft evaders in the russian army
and says saurus we are back they're
dragging everybody and they go over to
the russian
guy and they're saying you know yidden
in the army they're not going to survive
they'll get stabbed from the front get
stabbed from the back he says
nothing doing and they tell hasso we
would never bribe you how would you like
to
play cards and you'll uh win 500
rubble you know like it's not a bribe
then cash with some here
so he says i need another excuse they'll
kill me
and all of a sudden they see from the
distance they're grabbing this 10 year
old kid
she's kicking and screaming and he goes
what you doing
he says he's 18 years old we find birth
certificate
in office he says out of your mind his
little kid of course his birth
certificate said he was 18 because the
burst of a kid was given
eight years before he was born he says
you're drunk
operation canceled that was already his
excuse and then he won his 500 ruble in
the card game if you understand
and listen my issues they went back to
the different they said wow what a
mephis
that the rabbit sent another eight girls
so it wasn't my life
it wasn't my wife as he says if you if
you are on that moment that you want to
explode
and you say kirby you just know better
than i am you're not going to get me to
explode
