What I want to do first of all good
afternoon it's first of all what I want
to do abram
I want to learn something it's it's so
in there there's so many things at ku we
learn as like a pressure or weighing if
we're good or bad and we're like afraid
to learn something I I'll be honest like
I was I was learning this for myself
this morning and I'm not coming it's not
like it's not learn with things we could
learn. First of all, we're not ready.
We're not I'm not doing that yet. That's
cool. The altar of Kelm said that the
way he was able to learn by throw is I
was able to be a hypocrite. Now, the
word hypocrite is not a good is not the
word I don't like using that word
because it sounds I'm be a hypocrite.
It's not good to be a hypocrite. He was
actually able to be I would use the word
that he meant. He was secure. He said I
would hear my rebi say things and I'm
not ready for that. But I [snorts] was
able to hear it. I could hear it anyway.
I feel like we're like I like learning
stuff. I even had it sad. I had it sad
to to learn this myself tonight. I ended
up choosing something else. There's a
different suga that I want to learn in
the yeshiva and we're going to
everybody's invited to join us. But I
wanted to learn a topic that I'm aware
and I'm not saying it as okay, let's get
I'm actually very pumped by the morning
shakers and I want to read something.
It's not an agenda. It's not. We're all
human trying to grow, doing our thing.
I'm literally not I'm studying it myself
for my own my own like and I could learn
something and not be afraid to learn
something. The was one of the great
idealists in the last hundreds of years.
It's a beautiful saddic. Such an unusual
saddic. He was the god who was a
storekeeper. He didn't dress the did not
dress like a rash.
He wore the hat of a simpleton. He did
not dress through a shashiva garb and he
was the godhur
and the was incredibly incredibly
idealistic.
>> Like amazingly he he he he arranged food
for the soldiers in the Russian army. He
wrote the Mishna Bur like cuz he felt
there was a big need. He wrote Shmir
Salash and there was a big need
was like the world's idealist a
tremendously idealistic person at the
end of his safer on
which in yeshiva is learned and studied
and kept and and perhaps and we had a
period here with Abi
Salsbury that we were learning to say
Salash at the end of the safer he has a
few essays and he has an essay say about
now he is being quite demanding and an
expression
public prayer is a very interesting
it's a very interesting is it is it not
is an obligation the language of the
famously says a person should make
efforts it does not say it's interesting
Many say in the
is not that's the
writes one should make efforts to do it
sounds like it's not famously
in in in
the middle of the somewhere maybe says
it is it's based on a
because the gar describes how far
somebody has to go for
now it's like a it's like an inherent
contradiction
the guru says that a person shim it's
like the it's such a fascinating
if it's a or not the language of the
sure sounds like it's not he says one
should make effort try sounds like it's
not the says it is a the makes it very
dizzying because the gimar says a should
go
a mill it says how far you have to go
for
now if it's a did you ever see on an how
far you have to go now there is a tour
you don't
>> what
>> it speaks how far now there's within a
mill it's 3/4 of a mile so you'd have to
go that far but but it's very funny shim
that there's an amount you should or
shouldn't go if it's a mitzvah dis The
sense when is there like a it's a little
bit of a now there is on a
say you have to spend every penny you
own not to be on a positive command you
only spend up to a fifth of your money
but that's called anus to spend more
it's very interesting on there's like a
certain amount of effort you invest only
a mill it's a little further you don't
have to go is it a it really feels Even
in the gum that the is unique
says it is that's I don't want to say is
not the but is not the
is it's not that's the
says it sounds like it's not the
describes
if it's a regular
from there's no like you have to write
there's no it's a little bit of
difficult you there's no difficult no
such thing mikra migill there's no such
thing how far you have to walk you got
to go here the migill it's very
interesting with that there's like some
sheer like so automatically it suggests
that it's a little bit less of I'm not
say yes I don't know it's automatically
this sense that's a great question
that's a great passion.
If all things equal, a guy should buy
should get one that it's possible for
women. So I wanted to I wanted to read a
little bit
who was so idealistic
and he he felt that people are losing
and he wrote about
I wanted to read to the
some of what the wrote. He had like 12
reasons people should dab and feel
public prayers I find to I'm not it's
not said here like I never should feel
bad zero I'm I'm
this morning I'm learning this piece I
don't mind learning the a piece I really
want to study I want to hear I don't
want to be afraid of things and nobody's
schlugged up zero zero we study we learn
we grow but we're allowed to talk about
an
I thought it's Nice to hear public
prayers. There's something very
powerful. I'm Zo to be part of the
morning prayers here that I find
gorgeous that we have just a nice a
beautiful minion. So I wanted to read a
little bit. He writes some nice some
interesting things. I wanted to read it
together with the
>> only
>> when we say we mean that's always what
we mean. We're referring to there are
other aspects of of that are huge. The
yah kadesh bar is hashem kadusha
probably not probably those aren't
laning
>> I don't want to say lan is a later minug
kadesh
>> then you're walking by a sh
>> you should you're supposed to say l but
I don't want that it's a on a lesser
level answering ra was huge saying one
time yeem's
gra bless was huge
answering kadusha is very big so you get
Shabosha. He writes like this.
He says he he describes many reasons and
many factors of a mile of I want to I
want to talk just to read some things
that moved me. One of his one of the's
things is he says that mid is more than
meas good whatever you see in the
negative is true in the positive more
and he says when a person does bad
things and like hurts the environment
it's a tremendous he brings the gamarum
he says mida is much more powerful on
any mitzvah mida that a person's margots
might they get themselves elves used to
and it causes his friends to learn from
it. Any good thing that you bring and
you inspire and you motivate and you
encourage and you uplift your friend is
a tremendous tremendous game deeper than
and and our souls were we're we're were
we're we're put in a world to impact
others
and our souls can have a massive massive
impact on others. And he says when we do
a good thing that encourages others is a
tremendous benefit. And he says when a
person goes to the bishel
other people learn from him as well.
Each one
there's an element the person's praying
is amazing. But how about if my prayer
inspires others to prayers? And he says
as an element of that not only am I
praying, I'm causing the other person to
pray as well. I'm impacting the other. I
want to share something with the for a
few minutes on this point of the hit me.
I want to share something not about
prayer from rise sunshine. I think
Danielle is going to love this. I want
to share something from rise sun and
shine. He said two nights ago that I
thought was magical and it reminded me
of this line of that I do good things I
can impact my friends also I want you I
think you'll love this there's listen to
sunshine said I think it's
[clears throat] remarkable
the Mishna says
a person's obligated to say
that I like the he says
A person's listen to this. A person's
obligated to say
for me the world was created for us. Now
first I want to explain what that means.
It's a crazy concept. The world created
for you Gishi means that every Hashem
made the entire world only for you.
Every single person in your world was
just made for you is designed perfectly
to be a backdrop in your world. It's
your world. Hashem made everybody you
encounter some people to help you, some
people to challenge you, some people in
between both. Every the world was
completely made for you. It's your world
aka
>> and we're all
so watch this. Watch this. A hashem
could have made eight billion different
worlds. No human being could have.
Listen to this. Aka, I want you to think
about this. Ai, I want you to think
about this. The create a me and you. I'm
supposed to be in your world. You're
supposed to be in mine. Now, once said,
we relate differently and get different
things. Only Hashem really there needs
to be 8 billion different worlds. You
can't do it's impossible. No human being
could do this. Ai's needs you need
exactly a exactly Gish and exactly Aka
and by the way Pungi needs exactly you
really a human being to design a world
for one imagine the thought giving Yo
every person he needs exactly
a room and everyone the casual friend
the good friend the difficult gay
everybody's necessary in your world now
anybody else then would create Hashem
You can make 8 billion different worlds.
What's crazy is he put 8 billion worlds
in one world. Only God could do that.
That give Exactly. You need every single
person in your world, Aka. And they need
you and and you you relate to each other
different. And only Hashem could put
eight billion worlds together. And every
single It's It's like the craziest
thing. We would probably design 8
billion different worlds. It was just
too hard.
So I can't I can't figure it out. God
could figure it out and every single
person has a world every detail. It's
your world Abram.
Now the question is that's why sun and
shine asked to think about that already
is like wow to think about it's a crazy
thought. The question is what's one is
obligated to say
>> what do you one is obligated to say the
world's created for me. Now if it's true
what does the Mishna say? You're
obligated to say it. What do you mean
say it? It's just true. What's this
saying? The Mishna Sanhedrin says
a person must say now is it true or not
true? Must say sounds like it's not
really true. Just think it. But if it's
not true, why should I say it? So it's
got to be true. What's adding your to
say? So right Sun and Shine said
something crazy. He said on himself that
he was a youngster. He was a timid
person. He was very short. And he said
he was he remembers he was in Tyim. He
was walking up the steps. He remembers
just like holding on to the banister.
The big guys shouldn't run him over. He
said he was very timid. And he said this
brilliant. He said we get afraid of the
world. It's like a scary world. This
person never we shrivel up
is it's your world. Yo, don't be
intimidated. Show up
means show up to your world. Impact your
world. Impact people. Show up. M. It's
your world. We're all just You ever
wonder maybe I'm only real and everybody
else just a puppet in your world? It was
true. Misha, it's true. The reason you
wondered that as a kid because it's
true. It's your world and we all we're
in my world. We're we're we're
characters. The exact characters in your
world. It happens to be I also have a
world and everybody else's character
mine and you also do. Now
it's not to be arrogant then your mom.
It's not to be arrogant. It's to be
responsible.
Own it. Show up to it. He said,
"You can't come in like a fetal position
like all shriveled up and stop being
scared of the world. It's your world. It
was all made for you." Instead of like
being scared, oh my gosh, this one, that
one, it's overwhelming.
Mameish was made for you. He understood
obligates a person to like show up to
his. Well, that's what it means to say.
He said like show up to it because it's
your world.
That's all right. He was talking about
that Hashem gave the Tyra to you to me.
She handed the Tyra. The whole Tyra was
given for me. Everything's from my
world. The 8 billion worlds.
That's what he understood the I thought
that's like a me.
>> That's what if Hashem makes a world for
you. So show up to it. That's what it
demands. He said it's a responsibility.
Somebody around a sister, a brother, it
was given like to you. So like own it.
Do it. Take take care of your world.
That's what it obligates. It's
responsibility. What
>> a bad
word.
>> What about saying it?
>> We see saying it must be that. That's
right.
>> I hear I hear Well, I specifically say
you're obligated to show up. That is
your freaking world.
>> That's what he's saying. The Limer is
the declaration. A lot of things the way
we the way we bear responsibility with
the P is the declaration. I have to like
declare
there's something like to show up to I
hear what Abby I'm not like a forest
chill like could it have said it in a
different way instead of declaring it?
But that's what he's saying. It's an
attitude. I say it is like I own this. I
I I own up this. I hear what Aby's
asking. doesn't sound perfectly exactly
there's more
>> then maybe perhaps it's an interesting
way of saying this reality declaring it
that's fair
>> what else do what else do we declare
certain things we declare
>> we declare a lot of things
about
saying things makes the reality but the
declaring he he was saying and I I hear
I'm not like pushing away obvious
question obviously Why would it word it
that way? He was saying
requires a showing up to something. The
saying is how I'm showing up to it. Now
it just struck me
who there was no idealist in like
hundreds of years and one of his reasons
for that like moved me was that guys in
yes said have said to me I pray to pray
in public. I pray and I love the this
sense of do good and encourage good in
others like be responsible for your
world. You could actually like uplift
your entire world and the who was so
idealistic who was so incredibly
idealistic and looked at people in his
world. He was the leader of the
generation the god and he lived with the
way of responsibility. I was moved by
his reason for
is the sense guys have asked I pray
privately that's so cool when you pray
here I find it moving each guy that just
prays in the base it's like moving it's
touching it's uplifting and the actually
seasoned
amongst 12 reasons it's one of his 12
reasons that you showing up is
inspirational it encourages it moves the
others around us to pray as well and He
describes that saw that as as a
responsibility. It made me think of sun
and shines.
That's like my world. Show up to it. And
and that which is important. Bring it to
your world. Bring it to your world.
Bring it to the people in your world.
It's your world. Show up to it. I like
what I like to sun and shine taught a
lot this week. And the who was so
responsible for his world. He lived like
that. Now we could almost look at it
that oh he was the godlad that's what
made him the buglad the godlad means he
thought about the d like he really
thought about his world so I like that
reason he brought just as one of his 12
reasons that you do pray and you guys
say I pray myself but you could bring
prayer to your community to your family
to your to your mishbah to your
neighbors and encourage and each one
encourages the other in their world I
thought that reason
to me that reason was quite was quite
moving. I liked it specifically coming
from the who live with an incredible
sense anybody studies his writing his
sense of care for his generation. It's
not because he was a godl that's why he
cared.
That's what made him a godlad. The
godlad was that he cared and he thought
about his people and he he cared. His
world mattered to him and he showed up
to his world.
>> Yeah. Risan I'm not sit for all the gle
in our own in our own world.
>> I I want to I want to sit risan said
that he always is afraid of dogs
>> and after he was in Queens and a guy
passed by with a dog. He said he wasn't
afraid. It's like he said even though
it's my world, the dog maybe could still
bite me. But I just felt like he's the
dog in my world like I should show up to
the dog and I wasn't afraid of him.
That's what he described like what was
going on since he like figured this out.
I think it's very wild and cool Dalo.
>> Yeah.
>> Let's bring it. Let's Yeah. when he said
this like resonated a lot of things here
that I see people you know where I see I
see in Durham something I see in Erit
Israel in eritzero I see a sense that
every guy feels like he owns it it's his
world
>> there's a story and there's a truth to
it there's a story where
Miniman who's the prime minister of
Israel met with Jimmy Carter and Bean
started clutching a bean's like oh
3 million people. He was fetching like
running a country. So Jimmy Carter is
like prime minister. You're fetching
about 3 million people. I have 300
million. How many people have in
America?
>> 300.
>> How many people? 300 million.
>> I don't know. It's like 250.
>> 250.
>> But you ask Rebel.
>> How many people live in America?
>> Oh sh you just rocked me. How many?
>> I don't know.
Weird. 342.5 million people.
>> 342 million. So Jimmy Carter says to
Manakim Bean, you're fetching that you
have 3 million people.
Manakim Bean was the prime minister of
Israel.
>> So he was fetching like oh to be prime
minister it's so hard. So Jimmy Carter
said to him, "Buddy, I have 300 million
people. You have three million. Like
please." So Jimmy So Been says back, he
says, "Mr. President, you don't
understand. You're president to 300
million civilians." He said, "I'm prime
minister to three million prime
ministers." There's an attitude
everybody owns the country. Each one's
like, "You have 300 million civilians. I
have three million prime ministers." And
there's a degree of truth,
not degree
in Israel. You feel that each guy has
there's big shas if there's
there's shas in the pkin because who has
a right to own it was given to us it's
given to me to you
gave it to us so it's like funny people
have a sense I feel by Afghanist every
person like thinks they own this country
they're blocking the road like
it's but a certain sense of violence
it's complicated to navigate with
people.
>> You shouldn't do that anymore.
>> No, you shouldn't block
>> people want to go home or stop to work
like
>> it's a it's a I don't think a guy should
block the road. I think I think he does
own it but when you own something so
take responsibility not it doesn't have
the responsibility is to make sure
everybody in your world's well cared
for. You're the owner of the world
should it should cause
should cause responsibility should also
cause showing up. I was I was like
thinking about rise sunshine the way
people show up here that guys show up
like like bring it it's it's it's for
you show up it's your world was meant
for you
I've said over many times that by hari
it says we set he by he sat there an
individual she gave the tyra for me he
gave for me gave something for me it's
meant for me the relationship he wants
is with me Yeah.
Yeah. I like this reason for the
specifically you showed up to his world.
There's no I don't know if there's
another person I would use as a dogma of
the idealist who was like showed up for
his world like that's yeah
you heard this ver of
the world created for me.
It's neat. No,
>> it's very dizzying. A this thought like
each person can't like you said in me
it's trippy, right? It's very trippy.
>> You can't look away like that.
>> Why?
>> What do you look at like that?
>> No.
>> Why not?
>> You get stuck in a truck.
>> Do you?
>> What way can you look at?
>> You can't look like this for me. So now
I'm going to do this. It's weird.
>> Maybe it's true.
>> Two stones in a pocket. No.
>> Well, give me a walk. Look at that.
>> No. What would happen if what would the
behavior if somebody looks at it like
that?
>> Do you think so?
>> Maybe you just show up hard.
>> Maybe like I really show up to it. This
is my world. Let's go.
>> I don't know. I'm picturing like a guy
like our son going up the dog now.
Weird. Like
>> you're in my world.
>> Put it in my world. My in I would take
serious my interactions with things. You
meet somebody casually. It's like it's
in my world. It matters a lot.
>> The Truman Show.
>> What's the Truman Show?
>> Uh
it's a movie.
>> What is the movie? basic
and basically the whole movie is like
everyone everything's like working
around him and basically the whole idea
of the movie is that this is this guy
that from like when he was born whatever
he was thank god I never saw it built
around him and he doesn't realize that
he's in a show and everyone's sitting
there like act the children show that's
so
>> and he figured it out and then he
started realizing and he started trying
to break out of it and like and then
yeah it was
>> that's so cool that's what we're
describing escape
>> that's literally what we're describing
>> once once he started
I think it would be very good if we
showed up like this. There would be a
sin. We don't want people are so passive
and afraid of their world. If
they think about the guy who feels like
so small in the world,
>> it's his world. It's not something like
forget about it. Don't be anxious
because it's my world.
>> You're just kind of saying like, oh,
it's like it's like something like
you're going through a hard thing. No,
it's like a it's going to be good in the
in the long run. is going to be a
>> Think about a guy. Think about a guy who
shows up to Yeshiva Aka. Think about a
guy who shows up to yeshiva and
everybody has a yeshiva. He's like
looking around.
He's like somebody and somebody else's
yeshiva. What would it look like if he
showed up to yeshiva's meant like look
it's your place buddy. It's scare if
everybody show. I think it would be
wonderful. People like would really show
up if we could. By the way, I assume I
not just I know it's my world. I also
give space for you to show up in your
world.
>> Wait,
>> I actually let I would do that too. I
would do that too.
>> I want that to say that
>> he's But I would like
>> Oh, no, he didn't. No, he didn't.
[applause]
I want to I want to express
>> I want to express I don't want to I want
to say this I want to say this that the
that receiving this it's easy to like
the easier it may it's uncomfortable
whoa picture of me what I love whoa whoa
it's uncomfortable I want to say
something I want to say that it's easy
it's easy to downplay play and to just
be awkward. I want to give you an
example.
>> One day you're all going to be
>> and there's a series of gifts that
you're supposed to give the girl. I have
watched people who are small people and
they give it in like a joking way.
You're supposed to give it you idiot.
You idiot. You absolute you had a
beautiful moment. I don't care that

be with her man she's your she's your
partner don't give and people do this
with all different things It's their way
of being uncomfortable.
I don't be that way. It's a big moment.
You're giving give it with like a
tremendous presence and handed and look
in the I want I so I want to express
with this that it's crazy. There's a say
for somebody heard Dy Yeshiva Mo Muller
worked for a lot hundreds of hours no

Hundreds of hours to write over dete
what do you make of yeshiva to people to
learn to grow. He wrote it with his
father is like wild. I'm close to mo and
he took heard here and learned here

did r what did rice silverman teach what
terra what did he he's saying so he's
saying he's saying a tyra that you could
now I want to express this dil that some
people can't articulate it so there's
still gains a guy you can't I don't want
to say he didn't waste any time but if
you can't articulate it the impact
further is hard
>> if a guy said my rebi is amazing
somebody as he says a story somebody
went to the to the labavatureba and said
on a certain sadic he's amazing the
rebba said you didn't teach me anything
>> if you can't express it and put words so
then I know he's amazing but you
couldn't hand that to somebody else
people met sadikim and were amazed by
them but if you can't put words to it.
How are you going to hand it to the next
person? The fact that Mo Mueller sat in
a yeshiva for years and collected
that means something to him and could
share it with others is like the dream
he articulated. We're sitting in a
yeshiva and he articulated ideas that he
learned with his father is wild. There's
not that's like the dream of the safer.
He learned it with his Tata and he
articulated Dra Tyra that I heard in
yeshiva is is is incredible. It's very
very meaningful. It's excit to me. It's
exciting and and I just want to express
a tremendous gratitude for the somebody
sat here for years in yeshiva and
collected tora. It meant something to
him. It means something to us and he put
out and shared to that he studied here.
We're not like a vert type of yeshiva.
Oh, good vert. Some of these are ideals
and values and things like that mean
something that are instructive. He had
with each v he had like a lesson for the
soul like something means something.
It's saying it's directional. It tells
me something. It's a beautiful beautiful
safer. I really appreciate it. It's
crazy that somebody did this that Mo
Mueller did this. Greatly greatly
appreciated. I'm very excited by this
and just want to thank Mo's parents. his
parents, Raaru Weiss was involved. Who
were the sponsors? Ravaris, you probably
would be shocked, but um
the the tremendous gift that he gave,
it's very encouraging. Somebody walked
out of our yeshiva and was able to take
and articulate them. I want to express
that each person has a right. Mo Mueller
could write it this way. Somebody else
might hear the same deter and write
something different. I it's R Danielle
sits by Ray Silverman shear you would
write a different book than Hoody Kaish
who sat by the same shear for years also
and write the book give it to the world
you are learning this I asked a couple
of guys by Silman what's his tyra they
couldn't articulate it does not mean
they didn't learn they couldn't say they
couldn't say what did you learn what was
the tyra now they learned tyra and just
because they can't articulate it does
not mean that they didn't get something
they did it does mean if they can't
express it that it's going to be hard to
give over and usually there's a certain
lack of clarity now they see something
they like try to articulate it try to
study try to now it takes time takes
time to be
for a person to like get his rebi what's
my rebi saying what does he mean what's
he about what is but a rebi's giving
over a is saying something and it's
interesting I asked these guys who by
they only need another year or two by
year because they can't articulate they
need more time. What what's and if you
could art it's better for yourself. It's
not just giving to others. The giving to
others is a sim. It's better if you
could articulate the what he's saying.
Each rebi has a yiki.
the more you could articulate the Tyra I
learned what's he and usually you could
put again I don't want to oversimplify
and Rebi teaches a lot but there's a
Tyra there's something he taught that
he's giving over that he's about that
he's it's it's a kadai point to think
about to to to absorb to say to be able
to do is very kadai that somebody sat in
our smeish and sat specifically at this
table and was able to write a beautiful
say for articulating ideas that he
worked hard on and spent time. That's
remarkable. Anybody who sees Mo Mueller,
these are not like written in a book.
They're written here. Somebody who like
incorporated values and cared about
values and built that he did it with his
father. Like he gets the whole safe and
gracious did it with the Tata. Father
and son. How much went together with
Tata? The whole thing. It's crazy. the
whole thing father and son that alone
like if anything you need to know about
this holy safer as a father and son did
it together that's that's somebody who
understands [clears throat] everything
we were learning and studying that a
father did it with his son a son with
his father I think that's crazy
impressive I've watched a's journey over
his time in yeshiva and I watch I watch
his kesher to his father develop that's
like that's the yeshiva m it's a world
of friendship of closeness Anybody's
watch Avi Burchin with his siblings
watching with his siblings is not normal
is a responsibility
closeness a care that's the yeshiva
that's not like that's what we're
studying that's what we're talking about
a world of friendship a world of
connection anybody you watches Gishi and
his roommate Abby two friends to watch
two friends grow in friendship that's
the yes is yeshiva that's not a side
point to the toyra we're studying we'll
learning about these things. This is I I
go to events. I just was we went with
Danielle Tatina to me the biggest part
of events is I'm not I don't people
think I say it at every say it again and
again. I'm not trying to say like a
gishmaka thing. It's not you people like
like smile already. You know what you
know you know I'm going to say it the
next 50 things probably because it's
true the events like we're we're
studying Tyra. There's a world of Tyra.
as ideals of Tyra. It takes
sophisticated
to like pick it out. By the way, I like
somebody asked me a kid asked a guy
asked me last night, who which Reba do
you most connect to? So, I told him I
don't know if he knew what I meant. I
connect a lot to the bar and to the mel
those two sadikim. They were friends. I
connect a lot. Do you know their terra?
It's hard to find their teachings in
their I say how do you connect? I've
heard stories about them and I pick it
out. It's hidden very commonly. Why it's
hidden like that is a long story. You
need to figure that out. Rebeam could
say something and Talid could say my own
rebi I think I understand them in ways
that other people didn't understand
them. That's my own opinion. It's not
you have to be mish is learning by
rebiere
sophi. You're sophisticated what's he
saying and you have to like pick it out.
It's not no you know what I'm saying
mish it's not a rebi could say words
what's he trying to say what's he
teaching what's what's the of the what's
what's what's this light what is his
light you have to be sophisticated it's
interesting with the if you would read
his and you see the person his tyra is
very confusing very where was that some
people it's easier to see in the lab I
could see the person I like his Tyra.
I'm preparing for now. What I have on my
desk out right now is the Reb's Tyra on
that I probably got from O Muller. Could
be. I think you got me that safer. It's
possible. I think so. But I'm preparing
the Reb's Tyra. I do see him in his ty
and his Tyra and him by the namely
Melik. I could see it more. The Bardich
was the hardest. Why it's that way, I
can't figure out. I have theories. Where
is he in his t? It's like his ty what I
pick up the stories about him. Why? It's
more like complex. It's hidden in there.
I have ideas and you have to like figure
these things out. And I'm not to learn
by him. See, if you buy the person, you
can feel the person deeper than they're
saying. Says people sit at a what's you
sit right with sniki. What's he saying?
And by the way, the guys who don't think
about these things, they just love the
rebi. That's good. But it's kadic.
What's Rebi saying? What's he saying?
Friends could talk. My friends and I
would talk what my Rebi was saying. My
Rebi was fascinating and deep and
complicated to study what's he saying.
Thank you.
You have to like study what's he saying?
What's his light? What's he about?
What's he giving over? There's a study
of such things. There's a sug.
Yeah, tremendous appreciation, love.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
[applause]
>> Yeah, I would make a bra if I didn't
have if I didn't if you didn't show me
before could be I should make auh
is serious to say Hashem's name. But
it's very very exciting. Really really
greatly greatly appreciated. There's a
degree of uncomfortability. Why? There's
a degree.
>> There's a degree. It's uncomfort. It's
not a It's not a comfortable thing.
There's a degree, but what's what's much
deeper is a pride in our base measure.
The uncomfortability is that it's a I'm
just giving over most of what I'm giving
over is what I learned from the guys.
So, I'm I feel like I'm I'm like I'm I'm
just giving over I'm a reporter. It
would be very weird. A news reporter a
reporter would like be you're the story.
You're reporting the story. I'm trying
to report what I'm learning from the
guys from everybody here. That's what I
feel. So
>> uncomfortable.
>> Okay, Remy.
>> I love you. [laughter]
>> Guys,
>> can we continue this year to Remy?
>> We can write more.
>> That's Oh, wow. Mo
say for what I learned from the guys.
[laughter]
Yeah,
>> good. That's awesome.
>> I like the name of the safe. What I
learned in Waterberry is is wonderful to
me because I feel like that's real. I
also feel what I learned in Waterberry.
This place has changed my life. I'm
working on it. I'm working I'm trying to
dig in guys journeys. All different guys
journeys. And I'm trying to dig in also,
Abby. And really trying. It's it's
complicated. It's it's our our lives are
our lives are deep. Our lives have all
different layers. But I I'm I'm moved of
by the guys. I like what I learned in
Waterbury is very good because there's a
space medish that does have a lot
there's a lot of beauty here. There's
crazy amount of beauty here. [snorts]
I meet people I met a man last night in
his 60s. I would ask him in his 60s
describing what he's gotten from
Waterberry. It's changed my life. The
guy says a man in his 60s is plugged
into you. What I learned in water I'm
also like there's a base media that
contains something very special very
real and I I've been hanging with a lot.
I've learned worlds from Schlommo like
worlds from Schlommo. I'm learning
[snorts] and we're learning from each
other. We're both figuring out our own
journeys.
>> Yeah,
>> Kiki, you've taught me worlds. Thank you
for staying in the worms. I'm just
>> How are we letting him leave? How are we
letting him leave? [applause]
>> What does that mean? He's leaving. Sit
down. Sit down. Sorry. Sorry. I don't
mean now. I'm not worried about now.
>> Thank you. Of course.
>> Yeah. Fisher is getting It's a big It's

world where people each person lives in
that model of showing up to their world
would be good for every other person
because people really have things. I
want a person showing up. I'm thinking
about a bakar in the yeshiva who's like
tends to be more timid. I went on a walk
with him. The guy, every guy in yeshiva
has to know him. So imagine if he showed
up like with fire in his world. It'll be
good for every single person here. You
make people show up, right? You empower
them. Yeah. You empower your kindnesses.
Cool. Very cool. Thank you. Thank you.

energy of what I see in Yeshiva the most
the most
the most of the year. There's something
comes up. There's a camaraderie, a
friendship that comes out. You talk
about a sense of space that Hashem
wants.
Is connected
is the he
starts something that it goes and
continues to each one
is a means a person that he counts.
means what a does in leads and turns
into if I count so my avoid matters. So
what I do matters. What comes from au
world of a world where people count is a
is produced. Isn't that interesting? We
are a guy counts. He serves because he
matters where a guy when there's no
there's no avoid. If you don't count so
it doesn't matter from comes
