[Music] morning everybody almost good afternoon I guess so how many of you are wondering if you took a look at the flyer you see my name it's RAB Daniel mechanic this is my last name mechanic an inant name and we've we've heard every joke in the book you know do we do we fix cars is my father's first name Auto for auto mechanic we've heard every joke in the in the book I'm hoping that my the story is my my my great-grandfather he was a very big T came over from Europe came over from K was a LV and my grandmother but my grandfather came over from Europe and they said to him sir what do you do for a living so he said and became mechanic that's what I'm hoping the story is but in any event we are a family my father was in for 50 years he started a day school at Long Island uh I was his uh I had him as a Reby in fourth grade my father used to send him letters to my my mother when I didn't do my homework and uh I went to this it was a it was a madisha school my father had started he always told me that don't forget from you going to be a you go to regular Yesa put on a hat and you're going to learn so I graduated high school after 11th grade I graduated one year early uh why I was I was a well known I was I was I was an ELO I was an unov one of at the age of 16 I learned in learned there for 3 years learned in Lakewood I learned in learned in t many years and I got very involved in many many years ago from and um after being involved in Kira for many many years this whole issue of kids at risk or you know different problems in the in the FR Community when it came to the Forefront of the community about 15 16 years ago so I decided to take everything I learned in the field of and try to bring it into the system into the system so what started off I I developed the whole program to go in to beik the Kindel and no one was interested I called up 300 everybody hung up on me except for five schools very modern schools and here we are today after all these years where I go into uh over the last uh 15 years over moov in in the United States in Canada in England and we I've spoken to uh over 260,000 high school kids and I've learned a lot from this experience and it is these experiences over the last 15 years of going to all these schools have highlighted for me the indisputable fact that our system is G we are producing in tens of thousands of who love love love learning love doing mitz that's V but I've also come to the painful realization that after spending so many years in the best system in cl's history nevertheless many of our children are emerging from this experience without having compelling reasons real reasons they could explain what for their firm lifestyle why they sh and many of them are uninspired and many of them have not acquired the excitement that is so necessary today the excitement and the love and many then with their not having been kindled by the spectacular beauty of being a Fir and many do not have the answers to the most fun fundamental questions on and this all to Common problem is going to play many of them throughout their lives and when the inevitable nus not like it was 50 years ago when the inevitable nus pop up in their life if they don't have a love then yish will be Ser seriously challenged now I became aware of the magnitude of this problem this is such a big problem when I heard the responses to a question that I posed to two to 260,000 High School boys and girls I got in front of these T I do this came out every day I get in the room with them these are 11th and 12th grade girls all types and I'm in the room and I'll tell them I posed a question to them you're sitting in an airplane and next you is a Friday years and very politely they ask you in a very polite manner what why why are you from why you sh mitz what would you answer I as 260,000 high school kids and the overwhelming majority of them had tremendous difficulty articulating a coherent passionate and correct answer that means they were unable to answer the most important question of their lives isn't the most important question of Our Lives we have a whole and we ask her why you say that's very very weak and furthermore I I distributed a survey 12 uh 13 years ago I gave out a survey to 2,000 Bak girls the most 18800 Bak girls 200 it was an anonymous survey piece of paper and on the top it said m you be for your whole life why what give me an anonymous answer don't write your name don't write the name of your school you don't want to the right why what do you think 97% wrote it's close that's about 19920 of them 97% what do you think they wrote why they because that's the way they were brought up my parents 3% gave the correct answer which is CU Ty is em cuz gave us it's em 97% said because that's the way I was brought up now what makes that answer so weak why is that weak for a high school when I talk about a six-year-old a seven-year-old almost adult why is that a weak answer that's the way I was brought up because if I as the same C of 2000 n and Muslims and go they going to give me the same answer CU that's way they were brought up so we yiden who really have the EMS we're not going to provide our children with a qualitatively better answer than the go are we going to send out our children into the endless endless lifelong battle with the Su and Yahara it's endless we're going to send them into that battle and they think the reason they keep tur mqu of an accident of birth they happen to be born to from and they not for so how could we then expect many of our kids how can we then expect them to have a meaningful inspiring and relationship with with with how can anyone have a relationship with anybody or anything if they're unable to articulate and say and explain why is it good to have this why am I married to this person why am I learning for why why am I having a relationship with this friend if you cannot explain and articulate why then it become it's it's very hard to sustain that relationship and keep it over the years dozens of principles from unas have made Panic phone calls to my office and they continue to do so on an almost daily basis here this morning already on phone I already got three emergency with with K that Kindle up with with high school kids and they call me asking me to meet with yet another student of theirs who has serious has questions questions on they have questions questions and it's not just teenagers it's not just teenagers hundreds of Seminary girls and married people of all ages have met with me and continued to meet with me over the years to discuss their so-call big kasas and they do have big kasas and they could all be effectively answered the answers were all readily available in the many that you could find in in the farm stores now when our children go out there in the world our children go out there in the world is it not an EV is it not a v that they hear and they're going to meet G who also claimed to have the EMS their religion they're going to claim we have the EMS and they love their religion and they're inspired by it they're not going to meet people like that they're not going to meet other types of and who reject Hashem all together but they're very happy they they're happy they're fine they're spiritual they're nice they're not going to be people like that isn't it possible that our children are going to they're going to read books newspapers internet blocks that are and that will result in a weakening of their their yish and listen to this problem this is something that's if if I only heard this 10 times I wouldn't tell you or 40 times but I heard hundreds of times from kids over the years won't our children at some point in their life come into contact with Happy gisha who are nice who when they when the elevator door opens up they stand inside good morning who don't block your driveway to run through a brist but then they have a Basha my Reby taught me that go massacre kill put rum Holocaust us yet all the guy in I meet they they're normal and they'll say wow they lied to me in Yesa they Li I hear this all they lie to me I me G all the time very normal they lied to me hey maybe everything maybe everything they Li do you know how many times I've heard this we have to be very very careful how we talk talk to our children about they have to know they have to know the between us and G but you have to make blanket statements got to be very careful because when they go out there and they meet these people they think we li for them so our children are not going to come into contact with these people furthermore how can our children love what or be inspired by AUM or a teacher or a parent for that matter who many of these kids NE they think this this a this parent in this school they think they're out to mess up our lives and cause us discomfort this is what I've heard from them how could they love a Hashem or a school that they perceive wrongfully so is only interested in punishing them and judging them how could they be inspired by Hashem who they think is imposing upon them all these restrictions and no no no and that's because they don't realize that many of them that he's a father he loves us more than we love ourselves and many of our children have no idea what really wants from us and why he created us and why he gave us a and what purpose do K serve in this world and they have no idea and they've never been told that loves them how many young young ladies have come to my office for guidance and help and they tell them you know loves you break out crying they never heard such so to conclude this part of my what I'm trying to say there is an ongoing War taking place in our children's lives and ours but we're here to talk about our children the suon is attacking our children nus and he is armed with nuclear weapons when I grew up the suan had a bullet once in a while that a hang grenade today the S thear has nuclear weapons at it disposal and if our children are going to go to with today's and today's without a powerful and Deepak of the Godless and the sweetness of and without an appreciation and an understanding of the magnificence of and without that a boundless love for and they're going to go out into this war they will be very they will be vulnerable they will be weak and they will not be adequately armed armed and protected for this lifelong battle our competition unlike when I was growing up and many of you our competition Waits on every corner knocks on every door and the Sahara intrudes upon our children's lives in the Insidious form of internet and videos and alluring tyus and sophisticated Cur that could find out there and if we're going to create an atmosphere where where in our children love yish and they love being from an atmosphere where they're inspired by learning T and keeping mitzvas there's only one way and that is we have to we have to destroy and demolish the emotional and the spiritual and the intellectual and thisness that the outside world dangles in front of their eyes every second of the day so the question is how how do we do this how do we plant values into the hearts and the minds of our impressionable and precious kind our children how are we going to inspire them to recognize the beauty of Y the truth of Y so my experience and again you know I'm I I come from a little bit of a different world than many of you more of a world but the sites are all applicable it's all the same thing so my experience over the last 25 years tells me we can indeed accomplish this task of raising from inspired kids we can do it and we could and we could win their hearts and Minds to the truth and beauty of yish kite but there's only one way and that is if we provide our children with the threefold three things which I call one our children have to know that we have a tyus emis it's emis it's true number two they have to realize that we have a means a beautiful way of life a spectacular way of life and number three they have to realize that they belong to the I'm the greatest people ever and I'm going to explain each of these three things but that's those are the three things how did I get to these three things because I thought about it and I asked hundreds of people friends of mine R of mine we're for we love you we grew up at the same know not the same but here we are we love we love it why go home think about it right back to me let me hear what what and that's what I came up with he we always knew Tyrus this is the best way to lead your life so how do we do that so the first thing is tyus what does that mean it means that our children have to know and have to be able to articulate be able to say it over to themselves and to others that that means 3,324 years ago appeared before millions of our grandparents gave them the that's what it means and therefore no matter what pain they experience in their life it's emis 2 + 2 = 4 whether your parents got divorced NE whether you experienced a trauma whether your parents don't have any poor whether you think you're ugly whatever your issues are it doesn't change the fact 2 plus 2 equal 4 or that gave us clance that keep shabas put on syy you go dress this way Eat This Way marry this way Walk This Way everything it's emis they have to understand that and they have to know it and have to be able to explain that parents and teachers we have to educate ourselves we have to they have to educate themselves and they have to acquire the skills to effectively explain to our children the fundamentals of and we're not referring here to the the Deep philosophical things we're talking about the basic classical issues that are dealt with decisively in the and today's it's the why didem create this world is infinite doesn't need anything doesn't need doesn't need doesn't need doesn't needer doesn't it's perfect infinite so why he create this world why did he give us the what what's in how do we know it's true kid ask won't it be extremely difficult to teach and Inspire our children and our students to love yish if we the adults and the teachers and the parents if we cannot answer these questions in a in a powerful and satisfying way the was okay about this was written a thousand years ago before internet and cell phones the fascinating for those who know the for his son to take each of thez each one to explain what is the mitvah what what are the what are the reasons for the not to be so writes here he says it's hidden I have no idea why gave us that we shouldn't be but then he writes remember thousand years ago before all the of today he writes we must give our teenage he writes are teenagers the the reasons for mean the benefits it's two things here's the reason we put on film here's the reason we do this and here's the benefit why it's good for you very important then he writes because if we don't teach our teenagers the reasons for MIT and and and why we do it and why it's good for us he says they will his L is they will kick away thousand years ago reion so our children have to know why we keep has be expain not long ago the read this in theer he would remain awake at night course of what was happening with some of our youth today and he said so it written he said that the reason this is happening is because our children's knowledge of is surface level very not deep with no real heartfelt connection and he advised as a solution he advised that we should teach and explain to our in in 1971 Feinstein was asked what by teacher what should what should we teach kids what should that's 1971 so you think would write what should be teach he writes teach them this is 1971 they have to know the that we have the so we have to project confidence in the truth and the beauty of we have to teach them play so let me share with you a few things that we do has be done with confidence I live on 29th Street and then Flatbush uh the heart of Flatbush so about 14 years ago in the month of May shabish in the morning Christian missionaries descended on our neighborhood they we get out of 11:30 we have

and he's going he didn't know what he didn't know that everyone was laughing he doing this y okay when he's all done I go very interesting very interesting may I ask you a question you go sure RAB I said um what rational evidence and proof do you have that Yash what proof he had a little tick over there he pulls out a tanak an English viable an English tanak big one and he was ready CU he had the red stickies the yellow stickies the blue stickies the guy was ready to go from pule to P yeah and he goes well Raba over here this is the prophet Isaiah that's yesah in over here in chapter 53 it says over here look Rabbi it says here it's discussing this whole chapter is discussing the Messianic times in May Masia no it's not got you're talking about okay who thinks it is it's talking about the mhia he goes over here it says the words the blood of the suffering servant yeah the blood of the the EV who's in suffering he goes clearly referring to yoska yeah okay and then he go and over here in Zechariah it says this word referring to to his mama and over here marar and bakar and Psalms and bombs and Ezekiel he's going all over the T this is a remes to him this everything's REM this is a remes to his mother this is a rem to this one go this whole thing when he's old done I go uhhuh so what you're telling me is the reason you and your friend are believing lik are believing Christians is because you you believe that thousands of years ago when these books were written God deliberately inserted into the text of the of the Bible certain words and certain phrases that serve as raim as hints to yasa right he goes yeah I go uh sir you know the original when God wrote it was in Hebrew I said sir what does this word mean he what does this mean what does this mean you don't want to know what I said for those who don't understand the RIT I said you're very stupid in Hebrew at this my wife sticking the towel down your left so hard I said oh you don't know Hebrew a my two little daughters they were four years old 6 years old come here sh stand next to see these people I tell my my daughters they're my friends tell them how do you say in Hebrew when I look at the table up how do you say orange in Hebrew say it together 1 2 3 my two girls go they say how do you say table 1 2 three so look at them I said you're going to have to leave my house now you are basing your whole religion on the translation of words in a language that you don't even understand and my four-year-old does Shalom hit the road I didn't exactly do it like that but I B said there's nothing to talk about imagine I come to tell you uh I figured out how to make a the secret of life from this Chinese book you say wow you know Chinese no then have you figure it out and then they showed them every one of the words that they show me they miss that's not what the word means the blood of the suffering servant it says plural not it's referred to CL each one I just showed okay a week later knock on the door I go look at the the door I run to my kids Kindel they're back come upstairs quick watch Whata do CHR and not coming back again guess who they sent me this this time they sent me from the see the week before they sent me who came in I'm not going to go through the whole thing that there's not enough time but we took care of the the the Bubby missionary and they don't come back no more what did my kids get out of it confidence Tyra emis we have the EMS we know what we're talking about and that's so hard to do this you just got read a book or two this particular thing now when I go into these schools does anybody want to ask me a question but a a quick you know not like how do you explain you know exotic ver you know you need a few hours for that anyone want to ask me a quick question okay like the so when I go into the schools and I talk about Tyra emis you have to talk about EMS so how do we do that so I going into the school wherever I speak for FR for fry we spend a few hours on what I'm going to do now in 15 minutes I tell them over true story listen to this to show the truth of Tyra right Ty one is and that's what we're discussing conf the truth em gave us a t so I tell them the following story true story I was invited to speak in Princeton University those you haven't here Princeton University is the the number one ivy league College University in the world brilliant kids go to this University kids are paying parents paying $100,000 a year for for tuition and here's what happened how how do I get to speak in the University so here's what happened there was a course being given in Princeton University this was uh about I don't know 10 years ago no hold on 14 years ago 14 years ago a course is being given in this university called comparative religion what do they do they get a professor in the room with students they do research on thought religions they compare them this believe this this beli this and they have a final and they get their credits so let me describe to you what happened over here who was the professor the professor was a guy a gentile 60 years old he had a long white ponytail going all the way down his back he was M he had two earrings not one okay thus is a professor he had two phds in philosophy too and he's making $150,000 a year th is the professor who are the 50 students 49 gim and one one Jewish kid named Steven the 49 gim consisted of African-Americans and American Indians and Chinese and Japanese and America call and there's one Jewish kid named stepen what were the five religions they were doing research on Judaism Christianity Islam Harry Krishner and the Mormons for those of you who don't know Harry chrisan when I was growing up was very big in the 60s in America there like 15 million of them now in uh in Europe Harry Krish is a cult and then the Mormons we heard the Mormons where do they live Utah they have a very strange Min hog polygamy where the men have many wives it's very strange of course it means the men have many figers and this is the problem okay so what happened at the end of the semester the professor has a brilliant idea instead of having Kar for the final the professor decides to invite a from each of the five religions to come into the class and prove to the T that their religion is EMS the other four are she and they're all going to get yeah so he had IM MIM guy come in he had a n come in he had a Harry a Mormon and mechanic represented the the yish how did he get to me how did he get to be P it one Jewish one Jewish kid in the class named Steven so the professor goes over to Steven 19 years old knows nothing nothing about yish kite he says do me a favor you're Jewish find for me a rabbi who uh who knows how to talk and believes in this course he called the professor went to the Yellow Pages so who has the biggest heads over there the reform the conserve the reform so he called them up and the rabbi told him oh we don't believe in Hashem with the T so he said get me a rabbi who believes in Judaism and those that a talk so this kid Steven he has a father named Joel see here the 19-year-old Steven 14 years ago had has a father named Joel Joel is a multi-millionaire gazillionaire who donated $2.2 million to our organization he's not from but he believes in what we do so I get a call from Joel the father on his yacht in the middle of the Pacific Ocean from his satellite phone 5 minutes before Li mention oh ra a mechanic is Joel listen you go to Princeton and teach some Torah I said listen Joel I ain't teaching no Torah I ain't going no Princeton what are you talking about so he starts telling me Rabbi do you remember my son I have a son Steven you were at his bar mitzvah Rabbi and then I remembered like was at the bar mitzvah it was more bar than Mitzvah that's what I remember yeah so he said you got to go you think I want to go I don't want to go to Princeton to teach 49 Gentiles in this one Jewish kid how many reasons do I have to go 2.2 2.2 million so I told I I said let me think about shabas I have to speak to a whatever so I said shabas Shabbat so I called the Joel after Shabbat on a satellite phone in the Pacific Ocean I tell him I go tell your son Steven to tell the Professor I will come I'll represent the Jewish the Torah but I have a request and I have a demand my request is I want to be last if if possible if it's I want to be last theave the Christians came Monday Muslims came Tuesday the hares came Wednesday the Mormons came Thursday I came shabas AR shabas KES I was supposed to speak for 65 minutes like the other four religions 65 minutes they kept me for 2 and a half hours the other four religions 65 minutes they were out of out of the room all the students they kep through that was my request I want to be last but then I had a demand see there's a problem you're not allow to teach you can teach about the but can't teach for a bun of Feinstein paskins if there's one yid in the room then you can because you're directing your words to him so I had to be sure that this guy's son was there so I told him my demand is unless your son stevenh dies in the next week he better be there don't tell me he was highing drugs he had 107 temperature get hota hook him up wheel them in I needed him to be there and he I came he was there Steven was there it is now 14 years later Steven is 33 years old Steven stopped using the name Steven many years ago he only goes now by his Hebrew name Shalom he's a b cha married has three beautiful kind learning in clay Ro and his father hates me but he still gives us some money so what happened I came in there and we blew them away blew them away with the truth of Tyle afterwards this Steven comes over to me goes Shalom Rabbi I'm Steven my father Joel qu oh Sten how you doing he says uh this is very I never heard any of this stuff where can I learn more about this so I today you know they all talk about cabala cabala they don't know what they're talking about you got to talk like that I go Stephen you want to find out more get on a plane and go to Israel he goes okay what do I do when I get there I go get in a taxi get in a taxi and go to okay what do I do when I get there I said take another taxi and go to the Western Wall he says what's the Western Wall I say it's a wall in the west he goes what do I do when I get there I said get out of the taxi and just walk towards the wall you imagine he meets an intelligent man RAB he tells them walk towards the wall but it's cabalistic it's who knows what it is guess what happened he got a plane he probably bought it took a taxi to took a taxi to the started walking towards the K and kicked in one of the asra guys ased him tapped him on the shoulder and said you Jewish he goes yeah they said to him would you like to meet a wise man you don't tell him would you like to learn the BL G he it's not going to get him you want to meet a wise man sure meet a wise man they brought him up through R nor and that's it here we are 14 years later what did I say in Princeton I got two and a half hours to tell you we're going to do it in five minutes we said like this I said to them this is the what I'm saying here now this is not this is all talk about take a look to says everything I'm saying without the jokes this is yish right here what is yish is everything comes from that's the m so you have to show so I said to these 50 kids that these are leftists these are liberals they're atheists and they hate religion they and they're nasty and they're arrogant and they're all wealthy and they're brilliant this is what I'm talking through so I tell them and they just sat through four four days of narish back to the other four religions so I said to them let me ask you something the other four religions that were here this week how did they begin had they start who was there at the at the we call the founding moment of the religion it started right everything starts at some point it had to start we live in Zan we live in time so one day there was no muslim book what to called the Quran or the new test and one day they appeared who was there when it all started no what's the answer everybody know this how every every religion they all begin with what one person do you know that since aino until today since aino until today how many religions they have recorded approximately 15,000 a lot of small ones a lot of big ones 14,999 of them all begin exactly the same way with one person who says the Lord appeared to to me the Lord said I'm the Messiah the Lord said you should give me all your money asked them any any Aiden did anyone see any aids to this they'll say no but trust me you believe me and they believe them for many many reasons so I asked the priton how did the other four religions describe the founding moment and there was a Korean boy sitting right here see look he's Korean very nasty and he used Niel P when he was talking to me and he says to me how do they all begin with one person and that's why religion is evil he says to me all you people you're all evil and all wars and suffering and pain comes because of you religious people cuz you each one of you gets up and says my man he's the true prophet and if you don't believe that my man is the true na'vi we blow you up in the World Trade Center we pgam you we Holocaust you we Crusade you we kill you this what he say says to me cuz you will my and he gets up he gets up he does a little dance he goes everyone says my man he's the true Prophet oh no he's not St him no my man and the Christians come along kills him and everyone's killing each other because they think their guy is the true prophet he says this is insane and I have 50 kids in princet and they're all laughing at me and my heart is beating so fast because they have no idea what's coming they have no idea they're clueless so at this point I go uhhuh let me ask you a question I said every religion begins with one person I said I said I could have said to them and how did yish kite how did Judaism begin but I didn't say it that way why because the professor was sitting right over here next to me and mechanic wanted to embarrass the professor a little little bit why does mechanic want to embarrass the professor course the professor's got two phds he's making 150,000 a year mechanic is I have no phds I owe 100 50,000 and guess what I know more than him so look what I said I said and what did the professor teach you about the beginning of yish why did I say it that way because I knew they're going to give me the wrong answer and when they give me the wrong answer they make him look like a temple like a so I said what do the professor teach you about Judaism so it happens to be a Chinese young lady a Chinese stands up and didn't ask her her first name how am I going to pronounce that and this Chinese sheep says to me well uh the professor taught us that uh when uh the Lord supposedly gave a Bible because they don't believe in any of this stuff but when they supposedly gave a Bible he gave it to Moses my heart I think jumped out of my body I said let me get this straight you learned here from this professor here in Princeton the Judaism is just like all 14,999 other rels where it began with one person they go yeah um so at this point I said to her like this I had a projector screen and I had an overhead you know I had one of these overhead projectors with slides on each slide out of P from the Ty and all I did for five minutes was read him from the Ty I said so the professor taught you that God gave it to Moses says it says on the third day this is in came of who next what does mean Nation how many people were there so the Torah says 600,000 men between the ages of 20 and 60 they didn't have sh crisis in those days so they're all married 1.2 million the 1.2 million have 5 six seven kids beautiful not as beautiful as and then you have all the people above the age of 60 the bubas and the put together approximately two and a half to 3 million let's say 3 million next took the 3 million people to meet and I'm just reading to them um doesn't say um Nation millions of people at this point I didn't look at the professor anymore cuz I figured his face must have been turning So Many Colors I could have made a him cuz he Tau them one the state in hundreds of places would be it's Nation this is the most important this is the every religion out there began with one person we begin with 3 million the only one so you'll say What's the difference between one person and 3 million telling you something one person is be suff you will never know it's true I tell you I drove up here an hour ago I was sitting in the parking lot and by accident my yaka fell off and it fell onto the seat I picked up my yaka and I put it on my head th is the that's the story The Misa will any of you ever know 100% whether that story took place that you could bet $100 billion you'll never know either there's no Aiden no one saw it but what if there were 50,000 people over here and they were there and they said we saw mechanic forth 50,000 thus is history th is every religion in the world is the is one person and they will tell you it's not mechanic they all begin with one person we begin with three million therefore we're not a religion a religion is I have faith I believe there no Fai on you know what's an example different glaa history there was a man named George Washington who was the president of the United States this not I have auna in I believe in this is an historical fact that hundreds of millions of people experienced them there's a man named The Go the villain this is history you could Bet Your Life on it that it happened why because millions of people hundreds thousands of people saw these people told their children they told their children it could never been made up the World Trade Center fell down when two planes hit it you don't have to have a moon in there have a belief this is historical fact these are these are facts and what makes something a fact like we will say the amount of Aiden so we have 3 million Aiden so we're not a religion we are a m we are a m based on a m historical claim you know kids today they feel very disconnected with it was 3324 years ago I don't even remember what I did
