and uh we had a support and yes we went
through
a lot of the chaos and whatnot
rabbi gedali called me up last week
wednesday and told me that
you know we wanted to talk inspire
physic clarity and you've heard so many
beautiful speeches today
and they told me that i have one of the
most hardest jobs here
everything's too loud right they told me
that i'm one of the most knowledge gems
over here
and everybody is always getting
scratched from here and rushes
for around 17 hours already this entire
day
full cups live hooks not live hookups or
all this together
and then we don't have to hear me at 11
o'clock the 11th area i love how that
says
the 11th hour i'm like can i talk to
teenagers over here i talked to a bunch
of the
middle-aged people that were still going
to be entertaining people at the 11th
hour because usually when i have to pay
people 11 hours
we're talking to teenagers with 11 hours
at the beginning of their morning
so i also usually love them towards the
end of our
day but we will try to entertain getting
physical clarity
but we want to get out of this wonderful
evening over here
so i want to take away the three points
that we can grasp on
we can hold on to it something can
actually materialize take entire daily
life
move forward we've heard so many amazing
things from all these amazing
people these amazing speakers
i want to start when i was asked very
good to kind of speak here
i felt extremely extremely scared
humbled awkward funny weird a whole
bunch of feelings
because i felt like how in the world am
i gonna talk yesterday i have been
through this it wasn't with my childhood
story highlighted
a very close family member i sat through
a week in rehab
i went together with him i was in the
hospital when he overdosed
we were together we went through a very
very up and down journey together
but how could i talk to people how high
do you want to do housing
have a bigger spare excess raw and sadly
he was in the house with his son his
other son is now in the hospital now in
rehab
and i called them up and i asked them
they want me to come talk
i would believe the grace of christo
those who had the greatest joyness
what can i even tell them how can i talk
what is there for me to add
how could he bring the classic someone
he told me sit down let me explain to
you something
there's a moment from the heavens behind
the country
whenever you saw someone coming coming
walking into his office
that he knew has a sick child physically
mentally this like his kid autistic
he would stand up a little so he would
stand up to his first upright position
and we tell him if hashem and trust is
such an with you
i have to stand up to you attire
crucify him over here this messiah
i've had the child that we can't get the
necklace from is
plf is thousands of times more painful
than having a child that was never not
more normal a child that was not
not born to a certain degree we're
recoverable
this is what the angst wants we totally
take ourselves
out of that specific in our situation
and we have to counsel them in a the
husband and wife the kingdom look
together
and we tell our kingdom
have to come down to this world and the
entire family gets together and when the
baby is a baby and we're making this
little baby
and we have to know this arisayan and
the entire family together
and years of working there from when the
baby is born
up until when we can give the baby the
most the most quality
life that we can give this child
all of a sudden the workshop is
indicated a beautiful kid
beautiful place beautiful beautiful
looking pictures
and many times and beautiful bites of
pictures
and then something happens unexpectedly
and then comes the most dangerous thing
what's been known to mankind
blame i should have
i could have why didn't i
what did i do wrong are we going to the
failed micro management
if only i would have done a little bit
more strictly with him if only
would have led her to do what she did if
only i would have given him more love if
only would give him the last love
if only i would have done this to him if
i don't want that to him and they have
the problem with our other kids
what do we tell them how are we going to
house it when they see their sister
doing that
how are they going to see the brother
doing that what could we tell them
and we're lost we're going to the blame
game we go now we're blaming ourselves
and we're beating ourselves off
the sawyer time like every other sawyer
these destroyers have to come down in
this world
we were the chosen ones why we don't
know but we were the chosen ones that
i understand trusted these the sugar
stuffs and we have to know they have
absolutely nothing to do with anything
you did
or will do this is because somebody came
to miami
and he told them i have eight kinder my
eighth child
slip i don't have him anymore i don't
know where he is
what did i do wrong i gave just as can i
get all my other kids
if bianca looks at him and says this is
because
of mine it has nothing to do with you if
you can leave here today with that
one message your child has
nothing to do with you it's not
about you and what this god told me
you're asking me how i deal with the
pain of my two
children they're not my children they're
not avoiding the shalom's children
these are the struggles that hashem gave
me and i have absolutely nothing to do
with this
there's nothing i could have done
differently because there's nothing that
i'm of course you have to understand
this
we
[Applause]
with a sick child physically we also try
to give him to
doctors we also try to give him the
therapist we also try
but we all know the end of the day is
defeating the health
we have to take him from today's she is
over here
it has nothing stop the blame put the
blame right here
stop it right over here tonight there is
no more blaming
there is actually nothing to do with all
this is like asylum in our
mind and the irish is testing us
[Laughter]
[Music]
that only our family can withhold
there's no family in the world
as much as we're sitting around since
100 couples there's 200 couples
as much as this is a it's a
suit as cloud it's 100 individual
stories
your story isn't like his story and her
story isn't like your story
it's a hundred individual stories
i just stood up from action of the year
with my father
when they were sitting by sugar
everybody came and called me hamuki
nakamasu
but he cannot be monarchy because he was
his father
he that was your father all yasham could
be you menachem because you lost your
father
so even we're all sitting here in the
same of the same environment we're all
going through the same pain
but this is your pain and the only one
who can be human knock him in your pain
is under the body shall i them what
should you tell your kids
tell your kids that irish then needs a
house to put this lasso in
why we don't know and tathy and mommy
[Music]
and it's our duty to be able to be our
ourselves the chassis if you will be
yourself the kazakh
your children but even the straight ones
will know what they can grasp on but if
you're going on beating yourself up
and being broken and breaking yourself
and crushing yourself
your other kindle will pick up on it and
then the ones who need the most
to rely on you at this point your life
can't rely on you
because you're too broken to be able for
them to rely on yourselves so we have to
give a couple of kabbalah number one
here tonight
stop the blame we're not blaming
ourselves anymore this is the design of
the shamayim again we have to because of
the indian manner this is what i used to
give to us we'll tell our kindle if this
is what hashem
gave us and this is our destiny we our
family will pass business
this is a sign
[Laughter]
the embarrassment is easier to deal with
your kids aren't embarrassed anymore if
you have a 60 year old daughter she's
not embarrassing her 18 year old sister
anymore
because she's spoken to at home this is
your messiah
because this girl isn't your sister this
is the decided if somebody never has a
down syndrome kid if somebody never has
a sick kid what do we call our kinder
[Laughter]
[Music]
nothing to do with the family this is
like decided this to
how to come through this world the only
way the could come
in all over the strawberries
have to bypass this world it's a path
that has that there's no
way we can bring the shia and the only
way we will kill the premiership
that these the shamans also need a venue
to drive through
and some of us don't know why we were
chosen to be that venue
but as this goggle told me they're not
my kids
if they're going to shalom kids let's
take a song over here maybe to
enlighten them
again and never figure it out so yeah he
told me to do the songs
[Music]
oh
[Music]
is
[Music]
is
[Music]
is
[Music]
what do you do the ice cream is a kiss
i mostly try to use my day to speak to
solomon
park and anyway and to try to inspire
them
to do what we're supposed to be doing
this afternoon this mountain fresh story
so please if the story doesn't come out
good please forgive me that's enough
or i could say she could agree she could
be the idea that this happened this
afternoon
three o'clock in the afternoon this
following story happened
the schools that i'm about to talk about
um the father called me up to book me
for houston classes i don't want to
mention the name of the community but a
very ultra cathedral community
he called me up and he said i want to
know that my husband you know he has a
very
because your last name so we could all
imagine
which type of gift is that but who's a
little different
he found his girl on his own like okay
you got that many times so today sorry
to say what i thought it is
why not come along with the column let's
make it exciting come together and let's
you know let's get the ball rolling
let's see what we got in common let's
see what we can do
together so he pulls up with this white
little
some convertible type of thing that
makes a lot of noise all my kids ran
through the window to see like
what's this big thing pulling up and
it's actually a little panicking pulled
up in front of my house this morning
actually this afternoon and now it comes
to kusankala do not want to be
demographical this
is descriptive how they look but if i
would have met them in the
dark alley i would probably run the
other way and
they sit down i don't have any office
upstate i'm now looking at
it but like this little tent and we're
sitting in a little planet and you know
it's full of mosquitoes and bugs and
flies and wasps and
whatnot they have to find them with the
way the tent with the screening and
everything
and i'm starting to talk to them
actually it was a quite productive
session i have to say
you know she did have the decency of
removing most of her
earrings from her ear and other places
on her face so it wasn't that
that so we were having a very very good
conversation after about the finish i
said i want to ask you you know
please do not get offensive to ask i'm
supposed to speak tonight at a very
nice place and i'm assuming that
a lot of parents that have kids that you
know look quite similar to you will be
sitting over there
what's the message that you want me to
give over to these parents
and they were both quiet first they
don't know if i'm really not well so i'm
very serious about this i'm supposed to
be speaking tonight at a
place on this close location and i was
really skating like to what's up let's
go and attack you know
so i said that's on the school location
but they really want me to talk what do
you think what's the message coming from
you
russian you're engaged you're getting
married soon and hopefully you
want to move forward virtually did
commit they want to keep tarzan's
property they did commit you know
they've been keeping a future muscle
together already
so workers are for that or you know
hopefully in a better place at this
point
it's a health room what's the message
that you would want to give over to the
parents of
your parents what would you want your
parents to hear your friends parents to
hear
and the answer when they asked me i was
really not ready for it
tell my parents i love them and i mean
they're alone
i'm like you joking he said no
tell my parents if you could ever get
through to them but i love them and i
love them
my entire journey and i needed a lot
the love of my mother loved my father
cannot be replaced all the therapists i
went to
or the organizations i went and even the
shahbazim that i went away
it cannot be replaced by the law of my
mother if you give her that
message that would be my own thing i
could ask you to do
and then of course it came with a whole
bunch of other things as well but that
was that initial
answer that we have to realize sometimes
we view ourselves as such failures
we don't know how to even show love my
son doesn't eat my love
i'm not going to go in the whole world
word that's thrown around all the time
and debated
in so many different scenarios i don't
get the share a lot but it's unclear
what do i don't really respect except
these i'm sure you've heard a lot of
these
concepts you've read a lot of these
concepts but just
hands-on story that i had today it
doesn't matter not going to the
therapeutic approach and the
professional approach we're going from
parents approach
your kids know that you love them
your kids need your love as much as they
might show you that they don't need it
we can never forget that your kids need
their love
and the only thing we can give them at
this point how to convey the love you've
heard today
a whole day of different maybe methods
and concepts but we have to real
we have to understand and realize what
there's a story that i heard last week i
thought it was very appropriate to just
bring up we'll never know
what the right word at the right moment
can do
there was a roof in williamsburg i
should have said ways but okay but i
said it right it's filled with me it was
only inspiring
it had a spanish and something was i
don't know if you know whispering
there's something called and usually the
boiler likes to burn it usually goes
friday afternoon
it's like a minute and they usually come
the showers are cold and there's not
enough hot water
and this happened to me that happened
friday afternoon that his luck
happened tuesday morning so he wanted
the false plumber
now on his contacts he had let's call
the plumber's name was uh
yelling schwartz but he had two lily
schwartz's around his
contacts and he calls up
assuming it's a plum really shorts and a
follow-up call which he had
dealt with in the previous night about
nation that he was having with the maker
and he hears beep
so you know that he's calling europe now
he's transferred to europe and it
already doesn't make sense in his mind
like why
would he spoken last night you know that
italy shorts is not in
europe okay ready it sends some red
signals and he picks up hello
and he hears that this was another jelly
schwartz what happened to that from his
a divorced a divorced person
and he's like oh yo
i don't
you know what's doing with you you know
how are you these days you know just
thinking about you
no you know there's nobody really
looking up on you these days and i
didn't see you doing some mistakes i
want to make sure that everything's okay
so the roof tells uh so he felt like
hashem i had to go to europe for
a few weeks i had a very hard divorce
you know i'm getting over this is very
hard for me and nobody really
understands me and
my name got a little bit smeared in the
street so i went here for a couple weeks
to be back and you know we have a few
two three weeks i'm going to see you
okay that was the end of it he hasn't
heard from the shorts a couple for a
couple of months and also he gets a text
from the
group from the samantha's group mazel
tov the early shorts of houston the
tonight and so on you know listen
[Music]
i don't know what you're talking about
you know i don't even recall when
anybody called me up i never pushed to
the shoulder i was not a shotgun at all
remember that he called me up three
months ago
i don't want to say in public where i
was because it's not a place where this
yeah it was but it was a very not
appropriate place
and i was about to you know it was
probably that would have been the game
changer in my life
and when i had an old book that was
already all set up and i got the phone
call from you
and i couldn't believe you that's why i
was cross-examining you i couldn't
believe you that there's still a person
that's thinking about me
my parents disowned me everybody's on me
i'm a divorced guy i have a terrible
name on the streets
and i was trying what do you really want
and when you kept on saying no i don't
want anything i just want to know how
you're doing how's everything
it shook my core i'm like there's really
still a person out there just wants to
know about my well-being
and i canceled and i chose a little bit
more in europe at the time of europe but
to the place where i wanted to go i came
back to america
they threw me in the shirt i'm engaged
so we're never here to know when that
phone call comes
just i'm thinking about you randomly
you're middle of the day and you think
about your lovely daughter you think
about your lovely son
you could call her up you're just saying
how your day was happy now he loves you
i hope you have an amazing day and you
hang up nothing you want to just let you
try alone i'm over here i'm thinking
about it and i love you
and that's i think the love that will
never be able to they'll never be able
to get from anyone else in the world
and that's our only power many times
that we have is the idea of
when you talk about unconditional love
just let your child go there's nothing i
can do i'm not going to judge you i'm
just letting you know
happy's here for you i thought about you
at this moment mommy's here
it's hard to call send them a text just
think about your
little emoji it'll
and we'll never know the effects of
such a beautiful the act can happen
[Applause]
[Music]

number three which is a very very
positive thing but as possible sometimes
we get a little bit uh
we lose sight
and the name of number three is hashem
is the ultimate therapist
we're all walking around with tremendous
pain
terrible pain some of us go to therapy
so i don't believe in therapy someone
said therapy won't help so we could help
everybody has their theory about therapy
the one of the greatest therapists
there's only the only other time i think
the model of the night didn't see it
anywhere written but i was told the
model of the night
is where is it avoiding the show them in
so much pain so much confusion
and of course we owe that gift filler
but how about
bring it till to the next level stick
out all these
small points of course i want my
daughter to be arable
i want my son to be early how many
little points go in
to the idea of being elder the bonus one
helped my social pronunciate film
revolution health my son should marry a
jewish girl
the punchline health that my son should
do
with millions
[Applause]
[Music]
little points that keep on overpowering
of course the bigger things
overtake us but what about the thousands
of little points that we're walking
around with
24 7 in our heart and sometimes we feel
our hearts exploding
and then we don't have to quite inspire
other beautiful kingdom the diversity
gave us
and we're so caught up with this one
beautiful child of ours that's
occupying our entire mind and our mind
is mashed potatoes
we don't get any mind left for our other
beautiful eight kinder look
what about the patience for our other
eight people they also need a patient
they also need a patient mommy we can't
we're always
watched but if we could voice these
pain voice this confusion voice these
concerns
to the ultimate administrator of the
small minute
little things now the items have
actually a vision he doesn't need
us to speak to him it's not about the
idea that i'm
saying it's not about from the
is a hebrew word it comes it could be
from
many different sources one is two is a
wick w-i-c-k weak as an e-coli
we have wicks so there's a fire there's
an oil what connects the fire to the way
a little piece it could be a little
piece of
from an old clothing a little piece of
cotton that's that you have to fill with
that what's connected to hydrogen
it's
years that my daughter should be housing
the chief i've dominated for ten years
and my son
just stopped being nicole chavez said
nothing the zelda kills travis for 10
years
how much can i have him the doubling
isn't
for him to stop keeping start keeping
shabbos the dominance that we
should be able to function to be
connected to something stronger
for us to be connected that avoid this
we need the power to continue
and that's a shame that i'm just going
to help that everything gets out
you'll see results but even if we're not
zlatan to see the results that we should
be able to move forward
that we should be able to go on with our
daily life with our other beautiful
kindle like our other beautiful family
that we have
we have to be connected and if we take
it to ourselves
this your side of every day
you're walking through you just saw your
son do something you saw your daughter
walk in a certain way that
shivers dropping your spine go over to
the president
you just saw what i saw please give me
the choices
to be strong enough please give me the
toy because please tell my daughter
should not walk around like this and she
should be sneezed because you should be
ill i can
marry a good boy i should be able to
have a beautiful kingdom that i should
be a
good bobby voice your concerns
voice your confusion i want to say a
story that i also i have to say this is
from a very close family member of mine
that never had to take the song to a
rehab
virtually survived he survived with
hashem but
he was in a coma for 10 days and
he came out of the hashem and he had got
to rehab and now it was this whole
covert of an ultimate there's no
visitation it was a disaster and going
sending someone to riyadh
i know from the past when i went and
wanted to meet his nurse and his
counselor and his
therapist and if he you feel so they
come and drop him off over there like
he's waving goodbye
and i'm a shepherd of that and it's
tiger
you see what i'm going through and
happens to be a very close family member
i wasn't
here but very close family member was
there together and they're both crying
please help us show me a sign that
you're with me
it's so hard for me and this translator
i did it once again i was the one that
jewish we have
outcomes it looks like you're sticking
behind this lady
and she goes over and says what do you
send me outside you need something so no
my brother my
family never just went in now to uh
he needs his help over here he said oh
what's his name
oh because i'm in charge of that uh
that place over there i do that type of
thing for that specific
drug that he was on that's my specialty
i'm so happy because most of my people
this this specific drug isn't in so much
in the irish community the damage
community doesn't have that i guess
that though to spend on that one they
use the more cheaper type of things
but that was more it's more expensive
type so it wasn't so much in our
community
and so i'm very happy that there's a
you know you that i could be and i have
to say
that the content we have for the whole
code process where there was nobody to
talk to
we were accounting for targeting almost
on a daily basis getting daily updates
all because she happened to meet us
outside because if she would have seen
him
i don't think she ever would have cool
that he's eat so you should have never
ever known that uh that we're dealing
here with a
high mischiez but she saw you know us
and she realized that this was
our child this was our brother our
family member
she felt the extra extra feel and from
the youngstakova
please show me be here with me walk me
this give me a sign
we'll never underestimate the power at
least i think the three points that i
want we should be able to be tangible
we're able to grab onto these points
walk out with them
and we'll know we got here today so i
want to visualize
[Laughter]
they give us a very very exciting time
at a very challenging time
[Laughter]
the sea the mechanics that came from our
own kindler from guns
those kind of look at things like this
that will be ourselves in the classic
bringing men into our lives to our wives
and into our other kids that we have at
home
that's gonna be as of his that will
three hours of the morning
[Music]
[Applause]
