so hi shalom aleichem to everyone
to uh
i wish i was with you greetings friends
as well i
would like to start by humbly saying
thank you to everyone
for the tillers the darwining the adidas
the caring the arva that i got when i
had uh
the covert 19 at the beginning of the
season unfortunately and everyone was
dabbling for me
i want you to know it meant the world to
me the love that flowed through it
was uh was just awesome and uh we should
all be there for each other
you know caring for each other and
supporting each other through all our
different
difficult uh crisis struggles and issues
in life anyway a great suggestion i wish
i was with you all
and um i hope you have a meaningful and
uplifting day together
with the magnificent magnificent kesha
nafshi team
and and of course all the physic and
help everyone has from abi
anyway here's just a quick thought
abraham from just a thought
it's moti shabbos nakamu
[Music]
calls out to us through his naveem
that we should have the comma the loss
of the base of english and we go through
this every year
year after year nathan will not move
[Music]
where's the amnesty and the karma where
is it coming from how can we
meaningfully participate and bring
muhammad to our lives
so it's not just
you know a barbecue and a sing-song but
where is the amazigh
that should be coming to us all so i had
a lot of
thoughts about this over sharmas and uh
i want to suggest maybe a thought this
negates all of us
thoughts very much lamasa you know
we never find a hazal
[Music]
it's uh who used to say it's very
important
that we should breathe all day and every
day
never saw such a hazard i also never saw
such a hazal
that said that um
kedima aide leshon belila
it's very important we should sleep at
night
[Music]
and even more so baker never saw such a
hazel
telling me to go to sleep at night and
get up in the morning
maybe we should have one to get up in
the morning but i never saw
such a hazal no such gazelle
as
they
[Music]
because they're telling us the obvious
because i'll come along to tell us
what's not so obvious
and what unfortunately the nature of man
wouldn't necessarily naturally do
to come out with us
so i was thinking over shabbos of two
ghazals
the very much negative corbin
and maybe very much nuget to us in our
lives we find hazal
altis
don't look at the cank on the barrel
the the outside alimashwar
that actually is contrary to public
belief because public belief is
we judge everything by the outside
every the marketing they say i think
madison avenue teaches
unfortunately it's all in the uh it's
all in the outside in the advertising
it's all in the packaging because i'll
tell it's not true
it's not the packaging at all i recently
i bought a bottle of uh
i think it was not tylenol something
like that it was a bottle i think it had
100 pills or something like a big bottle
when i opened up got home it was about a
fifth of the bottle
had pills the rest was all cotton wool
what they needed for
like give me a small bottle it fits in
my closet better
of a a big bottle you know you feel
better spending 16
on a big bottle of the truth in
advertising it's really a little tiny
bottle
tiny container pills
the nature of men unfortunately so
we see this tragically with our children
our children you know
as they struggle in life so they
start changing the externals
and we start judging them unfortunately
tragically
from the school systems to the streets
and even ourselves in our own hearts
why can't they just stress properly okay
you know what you know we we're so
struggled with that
and we miss it we missed the point on
the contrary
what we should be seeing on the outside
tells us something about the inside
of a altistaka bakan khan don't look at
the outside
look at the panemias look at this
struggling the shum on the inside
you know when you send the package you
want to send a package
let's say if a relative lives across the
country and you want to send
a gift for the anniversary the servants
so you package it in a box you put those
styrofoam
pallets or you put bubble wrap and then
you package in the box and you tape it
up and you put two and from
you take it to the post office and write
before you send
it you put a label on that box a red
label
right before you send it fragile
handle with care really the
outside as we see our children that's a
red red
sticker you should tell us inside is a
very sensitive nishama
a paneemius an ashama that has such
sensitivity
such feeling for life and
in their heart of hearts the custard the
life force
of this person is there the bishop of
anemias
but we look on the outside we shouldn't
look on the outside we have to look i'll
just talk
we have to look on the inside this is
the
you see the shalom explains the
beautiful madhush by
moshe avenue and kurdish brother gave
him the task
to take clarisol out to mr imagine after
210 years what they look like
well they dressed like what they were
there what the appearance was
emotionally thought they're never going
to come
the way they look they're never going to
come
the conspiracy rebukes
you see the outside the suffering the
pain the disinterest
the struggles the hurts you see the
outside
the ani i see the outside about them
but i see the inside i see the
premiership name is
the coaster the life force i see what's
really there on the inside
they
that's our job don't look on the outside
look on the inside
see the previous
and there's another hazard
don't judge a friend till you come to
his place
what's makaima we take a look at our
children
can any of us for stay can any of us
begin to understand
what their place is you know i'm working
in the field 32 years now
worked with so many families mishpochahs
and so many
hurt struggling pains children and i can
tell you and be made
not once have i ever fully understood
the pain the mockum the place that child
is coming from with all their hurt
their unique pain and suffering not once
with all the work i've ever done i've
never fully
completely grasped it i've never been my
gear
you know to them akaima their place
of their suffering
he can't judge we shouldn't judge we
cannot ever
judge because who knows where i would be
as we say in english there but for the
grace of god
go i if i would have suffered that would
i be any better
i don't think so we have to work so hard
to take all judgment out you know why
can't they just do this why can't they
just dress like that
why can't they just stealth supershamas
why can't they just be
you know work with me do this for me
because it's not about me
it's harder why can't i
not judge them why can't i be in a place
of absolute love
of understanding that i don't understand
i cannot understand
impossible to understand what's making
me
where they're coming from with all their
hurts and their tsar and their suffering
i should understand and therefore i
cannot judge
i cannot judge to take that all away
from myself and just love
absolutely love and i was wandering over
shabbos to myself
if i could be mekhazik in these two
ghazals
if i would look through the outside
completely
not see it it's not there i'd rather if
i see it at all
to me it's a red stick a fragile handle
with gear
that's what i see on the outside because
on the inside
it's actually i see stereo ears i see
the plea bishop epnius
i see a suffering soul and i see one
that i can never judge you know no jew
in the history of khalison ever kept
tariag
no one impossible i'll tell you why it's
passionate impossible because no jew
could be both a man and a woman
a mojo can be a soul a lady and a
cayenne
it's a no jew we can't we keep with
arabist we keep we keep
torah with arabis because we do it
together
as a clown it's carly's law no one jew
can do it all because you can't be
everything
so you can't do it and i was thinking
i said to my wife
that if we have and with her to have
in our own in our own families in our
own
context in life i feel such a source
i have so many people i've met in the
course of my life
so many struggling people that we have a
source
to work on these two hazards
and
and imagine what we do
when we work on those two gazelles
every single day with our children every
single day
to work stag to see the paneemia
shepherd
anemias not see the outside imagine how
we break sin the skin
unwarranted hatred imagine how we
reverse
in the skin and we actually work on
harvesting
them by not judging unfavorably by not
seeing the outside but seeing the inside
just imagine the harvest in that we
bring to the world
and i think if we wanted
[Music]
is our commitment to these horizons
and to our children and that we should
be the banner bearers in this world
we're gifted
with the uniqueness of having these
struggling children
and through them we have to stay we have
to be mature
goddamn in not judging
not judging a book by its cover and
seeing the plea bishop anemia's
not judging our children we are the ones
our children
demand this need this of us
desperately that we should see their
paneemias
and in doing so so they should help them
we will reverse
sin and we'll bring our skin into the
world so they wish to help him
i hope that we'll all have arithmetic
and that will dedicate ourselves to our
children who need us so desperately
and by doing so this hashem will bring
the ghoul up inhaler of your main
our main cell i wish i was with you have
a wonderful wonderful day
an idiot called bye
