work really hard and tirelessly give
from their own to mdy that of onean show
it's a bunch of guys 50 60 people around
the world who put the Shar together and
different people do different things and
a is very very important Yosi Klein who
took over mdy as a CEO he had this idea
to do this trip we're all very very for
it and we're Mak to him for taking over
as CEO I'm Mak to him for allowing me to
come out here it's been a dream of mine

didn't really find the opportunity so
for me it's a tremendous car
[Music]
each and every one of you for being here
for supporting mdy every detail T you

this meal if everything goes as well as
this meal here which is outstanding

cockus cake I ever
had and B we should use this trip as to
be inspired from all the special places

special speeches we're going to hear
from RAB Shapiro also to him for coming
on the trip with us and if it goes well
we'll have to do this every year so
thank you for coming and enjoy
[Music]
I think what's CU I Think About by the C
is one has to
have one has to have
as it
says and then to live with all of the in
between the book ends that's the proper
way to know and I certainly hope that
wherever we are answered but I remind
you that the point of going to
a is to leave differently than you came
[Music]
the concept that if I am struggling and
the as is trying to get me then that
means I must be doing a great job and
he's afraid of being out of business I
hope we'll remember what the said when
we expressed the
[Music]
words an
extension is who I am hence the
name I hope one word by Will
clearly and that in the middle is all of
our may we have all of our answered

[Music]
we come to midic midic is the camp where
literally we're not only going to be
able to see and learn about what
happened but we're also able to see the
buildings where it happened because as I
said a minute ago the Nazis were caught
by surprise by the Russians and that's
why we're able to see what there is here
[Music]
today there was a gentleman that came
back here on a tour and he only wants to
know are you going to midic and for the
entire tour he did not get off the bus
but iidon he got off the bus the tour
guide was so curious and asked him said
I don't understand you know you paid for
this tour you came on this tour why from
all places you you only get off of
medonic he told the Tor guy he says I
was an inmate in medonic and my Barrack
was right near the gas chamber and all
night we s this screamings and the
crying coming from the gas chamber and I
can never get the noises out of my head
I can never get the screaming out of my
head so I had to come back here just to
hear that it
[Music]
stopped
[Music]
fore o
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
people asked me as we were walking up
the path what are we doing here I think
the answer is a few years ago there was
a family in Ari stroll the mother had a
very
peculiar habit wherever she was she
always found herself an elderly woman
opening people's bags and purses it was
so peculiar and it really made the
family the children uncomfortable as you
could imagine why do you open up
randomly people's bags and purses it's
so embarrassing to us and she sat them
down and said I'll tell you what you're
not aware of Before the War I was
married and together we had a son and we
named our son
Israel the Nazis
came and they rounded us up to come to a
concentration camp and in one bag I put
my Trinkets and my jewelry and some
clothing and valuables and in the other
I don't want to go to where the White
House with the doctor is I hid my
Israel and as she's about to get on to
the train that's coming to the
Concentration Camp the Nazi with the
barbaric steel look in his eyes turned
to me and said one bag and naturally I
took the bag with my Israel and I left
the bag with my clothing and my jewelry
and my valuables behind and I went on
the train and about halfway through the
Journey I was so afraid that perhaps my
ISR was
suffocating although I left it a bit
open that halfway through the Journey I
bent down and I opened up the bag and
that's when I saw I took the wrong
[Music]
bag when I'm going to all these places
and opening back bags I'm looking for my
Israel I believe one day I'm going to
find him I'm sorry that It embarrasses
you but I have to find Israel and I
think that's the answer to why on a
European trip of K with all of the and
all them and all of the highlights what
are we doing here like the woman we're
looking for yal there are 1.5 million
children who never finish the
he killed one Jew 6 million times what
did every say when they walked into this
gas chamber everyone
said that's the way they
died every generation our enemies want
to
know how can I bury the Jews once and
for
[Music]
all you will never ever get rid of CLA
we will come back with a resiliency and
a strength and an amuna how else could
you explain singing Anie m in a gas
chamber what about October 7th a woman
named iby Weiss her job was to take
metal a metal pole and bring it to help
build the railroads for the
Nazis when she lifted it up it ripped
off the raw skin and then one day she
saw the thing that was to save her it
was a leather patch about this big size
of a napkin and she placed the metal
pole on that and then one day she was
walking leather patch in hand to work
and they just brought in with the latest
of those that were in the gas Chambers
and those that were just murdered and as
she walked past said she knew she
couldn't stop she did look and see that
on the bottom of the pile was her mother
and she never saw her mother's hair
uncovered and she hoed over to her
mother and through one final K name she
covered her mother's
hair you will never get rid of us it be
wise take the thing that kept her alive
and cover her mother's
[Music]
hair we are here to tell 1.5 million
children we're going to finish your
doubt we're going to make the that you
couldn't we're going to make the SC that
you couldn't it's is to find the Y to
find that yid to find those that make
the see human that they could never make
and let
the hear us and bring all of us to the
GMA
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
every moid around the world has what
conditions the parents the family need
in order to be part of the M by us we
have four questions did you have a bliss
did you keep shavas did you keep Casas
do you know Al of Bas if you answer no
to all four questions and you're our
clients
[Applause]
we are here not because we want to be
because the need is still there and
we're here today because even though
Hitler and Stalin had their vision of
how these whole areas will be Jordan Ry
but we are not allowing it to happen
we're imp planting with these kids time
and time again
n
my
[Music]
standing here by the cave of he started
the movement of the the water it down
and add other subjects and stood
steadfast he said no
[Music]
what's going on everybody we just built
Thea look how beautiful look how nice
the first it's breaking down reminds me
now of MD we there
from wow it's going to be unbelievable
comes
around stop short close shop lock the
doors of the everybody go home and what
happened we all know what happened was
actually a br we found out that
something called Zoom many more people
were m to the
[Music]
she it's the same
[Music]
idea this is not going to work with
that's not
I'm doing it 100% that's not 100% what
happened was that his T went and each
one went to different country different
place and the rest is history they
opened up isas around the world and what
seemed to be an unbelievable and end
everything was actually a tremendous BR
in Disguise you start something you go
big you make something and if it doesn't
work has a plan he knows what he's doing
[Music]
it would be so obvious to talk about the
Kad ofir here in the is
of
[Music]
the people are constantly looking here
and there for school that they want
answers to things says look at the the
says if we learn to have a home of K if
we learn to behave with Kad if we exude
in a of Kad that's the greatest scho to
Merit you're not allow to overcharge
you're not allow to underpay so when it
comes to words don't overcharge and
don't underpay overcharging means you
spoke when you shouldn't have and
underpaying means that you remain silent
when you should have spoke it up
actually somebody showed me after I came
over this
this that the Z says that the same way
old person will be punished for speaking
when they should have been silent equal
to that is punishment for remaining
silent when they should have spoken
[Music]
up for words are like seeds when you
plant them they as will indeed bear
extraordinary pay R I hope I hope being
in the
will remember since we so desperately
are
seeking that we should remember
[Music]
n n n n n
[Music]
he
[Music]
my
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
this is leich and there's a lot of
famous pictures you can see a picture M
has one on his phone he had you know
like these big big white P he looked you

follow for
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
the villain going was probably the
greatest Torah Authority the to
authority of the last three 400 years
how do we know
this was considered the and wrote
on he is what they call a gronic as well
he had tremendous fear and and the way
he spoke about the villain like on no
other GLE he was considered like like an
as from a different generation just his
physical abilities were from another
another door another we have the
opportunity to see fer and some some of
these Geniuses that no call so we get a
glimpse of what it means to have a brain
that's 20 times more powerful than ours
and his was 100 times more powerful than
[Music]
the every every second every second was
accounted for never wasted a second he
grabbed his situs as his was coming out
and he said look in this world you can
buy this mitzvah for just a
few whatever it was in those days and
and wow we're not going to I'm not going
to have that and went
[Music]
out terms the this is it's such for me
to be here I don't know when the next
time will be
so for all of you being listening and
for St with the King
[Music]
I want to thank everyone you know
everyone who's involved with this uh
great trip it's been unbelievable it was
dark it was it was suffocating to be
walking you know through some of these
cemeteries seeing those ditches were
thousands of people were shocked and
killed and the one part that really
really hit me was inside the gas chamber
what made me really emotional was being
a kazin in these special places I think
being at I don't know if there was any
person that was at the that didn't cry
all the attention of detail that have
has gone into this trip which is amazing
and I think that he's done an amazing
job it's beyond
[Music]
comprehension I'd like to thank relli
for his trip it's been a very inspiring
and enjoyable trip thank you and again
always thank you to rebelli for being a
friend for being our leader changing my
life really the belly perit I love you
dearly
you really bring the Tyra in the in the
right way whenever I looked over on the
coach or at another location he was
there with Hisar I mean it was just
really inspirational to
[Music]
[Applause]
see had an amazing time this trip was
exactly what I needed for the end of the
summer that I had and just this trip
alone I was able to start and finish
Miga from when I left my
[Music]
a lot of what everybody's been saying is
a lot of what I wanted to say and I
realize it's probably because we have a
lot of similarities as a family he
showed us we could all do it in our own
way and we apply that to other parts of
our life
[Music]
he has very high standards he wants the
best for everybody he wants Five Star he
wants the best the best the best and to
get the best you have to have the best
at work with you and there's other
things that I see also is anas and the
time he takes out to meet every person
to say hello to take a picture nobody's
small enough or too big for him and I've
been part of many communities in my life
whether it's been business and my family
and trols ever I've never felt the
warmth that I feel being here in this
room for many people like you know how
you change families feel very proud to
be part and the tri and in the she so I
want to thank relli I always call him
the modern day R mayor Shapiro and it
all came together for me personally
through my journey to stay up every
single night and to prepare and to say
and to give and thank you you inspired
my trip and we see what we see is re
smiling at the camera like nothing is
going on not how much he slept and not
how much he put in the word thank you is
is
[Music]
[Applause]
poor The Bu left all of us here for a
reason for a specific reason for a
simple reason but if you're able to
recruit another E if you're able to my
to bring another E to learn another D

matter what happens that keeps on going
