@vi introduces Rabbi Rappaport

first of all i just think that we have to give tremendous [Applause] it doesn't stop thinking about what can i do for parents he doesn't stop they don't stop they don't get paid they go door-to-door collecting money for this they spend their sundays trying to make it work just so you can come and have the visit that you need it's just the mind-blowing that they're [Music] doing when i opened home street home in 2003 which is really the beginning of my journey so the boys i knew one thing that i had a house and the house is gonna have to be closed on shadows because i couldn't watch them and we can't leave a bunch of boys in the house for shabbos so the house was closed for champions and where begin to go so they went to my house and eventually when they got a little bit housebroken they went to some friends and we ended up developing a large network of hosts that were able to deal with them wasn't so easy sometimes the host would come to me in the middle of the night or in the morning and say they're gone you know it was an interesting journey but one of the first connections to github that ever happened for these boys because we had in the house we had no ideas [Music] nothing was mandatory the first entrance was the first entrance to re-embracing the culture even besides the english guy was and when they came some of these boys had never stepped into a shoe for years there was one boy who grew up in new square and as i was looking into the threshold of the show he shuddered and he said i can't believe i'm walking into this place never never i can't believe i'm walking into this place and he's a big guy and i just felt his arm and and and i walked them into this place a place that reminded a lot of these kids rejection of pain trauma for all different reasons many of them were molested in schools many of them when they were behaving were told in such not nice ways to uh hate they had a lot of bad memories his head was down and he stared at his shoes [Music] was a place that we had a lot of volunteers from home sweet home that were in the show but every company really gets the feeling from the from the ceo there are companies that are kind and that care about humans and there are companies that are cold and our school we got the volume we got the volume from our roof and everybody everybody was in the car with these kids every few months there would be another kid that walked in that didn't look shadowed that didn't talk shaman's dick that didn't smell shadow's name and if the member of the roof he developed a way during his speech because we sat in the front they would put two tissue boxes and put their chin on top for the whole speech the problem rest of the island was pretty jealous of them even harder for the room but speeches stand for themselves as you will see and we don't fall asleep during those speeches except for me sometimes so the whole vine of the school was a viable acceptance a vibe of non-judgmentalism the bible we accept you we're happy to see you and it wasn't a simple thing and it really is to the credit of our roof that we were able to have that journey for so many years and so many of those boys yes the boy who shuddered when he said i can't believe i'm walking into this place and the other boy who was sitting and looking at his shoes for the entire darling both of them along with almost no rest of them are shown into our mixes married with children raising from families the group never signed up for this but every time something happened at home i said could you speak could you come we had to see them in my house for other people i never heard the word no it was no no it was the same as everyone else i support you i'm here for you well i'll do whatever i can so it gives me a tremendous pleasure to introduce you all to my very crucially for the places of the rappaport who came to give
