[Music] we are introducing over there the heiliger josh where's josh we have an amazing yeah josh we have an amazing story to say with josh but uh we're going to show it to you first incredible something very inspiring i got a sneak preview of it the highlighter by moses it really touched my heart by the way rabbi and moses are very deep my shoulder rabbi moses are introducing the amazing rabbi moses let's go to it josh was a great kid showed up in camp great personality great athlete but coming from a background of no connection to this kite josh came for one year for another year and another year shabason camp is absolutely amazing over the top you can ask many boys that never experienced a shabbos in their lives what's your favorite thing in camp and surprisingly they'll say shabbos shabbos is a favorite thing in camp and the first job is this year josh comes over to me and he says rabbi moses how am i supposed to keep shabbos come nobody keeps shabbas in my house what wants us to do i said that's a great question josh i've been asked that question many times over the years i've asked the boys ask other teens that started keeping shabbos how they do it the answer i've gotten back many times is the best way to keep shabbos is find the family that keeps shabbos and spend the shabbos by them joshua that's a great idea the last shabbos in campbell we call the shabbos revolution it's a shabbos we go all out and every staff member every camper makes a resolution a kabbalah a little something they could do in honor of shabbos for some people it's keeping shabbas for an hour for somebody's meeting kiddish friday night and then it was josh's turn and josh gets up and he says i want to keep four shabbas four shabbas i said josh i would love one of those shabbat should be by my house and josh has to find a place every shabbos and not only that many of the teens joined him they came to lake when they went here they went there to join joshua shabas normally we spend somehow tyra in the zone but this year because of corona we couldn't be in the zone we had a small group in liquid together but like we do it in the zone the auction of ata race everyone who makes a commitment gets a position at the race and different people are making different commitments one boy said he's going to keep weird sitters on shabbos for a certain amount of weeks and then is josh's turn i say josh are you ready to make a commitment for one more chavez josh gives me a smile and he says i thought about it i really thought about it i'm ready to make a commitment for eight more shabbas there wasn't a dry eye many crushed people were there he said maybe how about me i want to make a bigger commitment for shabbos it was amazing eight more shabbas by the suda i went over to josh and i said josh maybe you want to say something maybe you want to speak by the suda josh gets up and he says something that blew my mind the way josh says i wasn't planning on coming back to camp this summer i was in camp one summer two summers i was done he said right before camp i heard this story and i said i gotta come back his parents josh's parents totally not religious had gone on a tour of israel to all the places of the other religions beautiful places didn't talk to them and then they come to this little wall the kris and they suddenly feel some connection they have no idea what and the tour guide says there's a custom to write a little prayer on a piece of paper and put it in so josh's dad puts a paper in ash's mom puts a paper in they're very mysterious they don't tell each other what's on the paper josh's mom says where did you write why don't you tell me what you wrote josh is dancing why don't you tell me you wrote i'm embarrassed to say what i wrote josh's dad was elderly already he was over 60. he really wanted to have a child with josh's mom she was also on the other side she wanted also have a child it's a little embarrassing asking for a child at that age josh said they put the notes into the castle and a year later he was born and he just heard that story right before camp and he said i'm alive today because of that prayer that hashem i have to do something for hashem i'm going back to camp i'm going to give it another try i'm going to spend some time with hashem and camp this summer a short while later i get a phone call from josh my family is going to cancun for a week straight i'm going to be there for shabbos how do i keep shabbos in cancun in a hotel and how do i keep kosher i said kosher you keeping kosher he said yeah i've been keeping kosher since camp and amazingly enough that monday night by our chill zone josh asked robert moses can you tell me some more rules and the laws of keeping shabbos in a hotel one of the other boys brett says josh where you going to hotel he says i'm going to cancun he says which hotel he says the name of the hotel brett says that's my family we were just there last year we kept choppers in this hotel you'll have no problem keeping shabbos in that hotel absolutely amazing i just called up josh and i said josh what week is it it's week 35 going on week 36 absolutely amazing keeping shabbos every week every week finding a different place a different film family to spend the shabbos and enjoy the shabbos we take for granted every shabbos do we have any idea how many shabbaston we've kept every shabbos he knows josh has a husband i kept another shabbos i succeeded i did something amazing it's such an inspiration for me i think it should be an inspiration for all of us what it means ashabus keeping our shadows and then in other shouts please welcome right here tonight to the stage josh sagan hey look at josh over there josh right here this is your spot right here josh that was an incredible incredible story i saw it on thursday and um they said over here that they don't call you josh zeig and they call you josh schteigen it's very appropriate because you're young because josh is always styking how many shoppers says joshua um this is 38. come out 38 java says look at his face mama's shining shining tell us something quickly how does it feel um pretty good i'm not going to lie when i first started like i don't know it was a rough journey um i don't know what to say i'm not ready for this but like like i consider every shabbos a miracle in its own like for example the first job is like i'm not i got kidnapped and then the second job is like i'll can i say a quick story can josh say a quick story of course let me give us a background there we want to hear you so the second job is icap second job um it was actually like i went upstate with my family and like i knew i wasn't gonna get home to brooklyn in time for shabbos so i start like quickly calling everybody i know like how am i going to keep shabbos and i end up calling a guy shmoshitsky if he's here and uh his family is also upstate he's the emt at the camp his family is also upstate and not too far from my so i end up like convincing my mom to turn the car around go upstate and spent java's there and since that day i knew i was keeping more than eight four shops we have to appreciate shabbos you've gotten us josh to appreciate our shabbat and were you of course you were in the zone for shabbat yep do we have time ura staff we have time for a little uh
