the camel let's see what he can give us inspirational about kishka the camera eye bone taken away Kiska the camel that is auras mascot you know to tie it into the rabbits ins program that should milk them it's pretty easy you know we just have a guy in our wonderful campus upstate in New York standing right next to kishka the camel and he asks this perspective should have state for something to drink and we'll see how she goes and answers that's something that happens by every single rep is retreats now on a serious note the camel is really in a tegra part of hora it's an attraction that brings everyone there we have a rebus is retreat once a year with a few hundred people coming upstate New York to spend together where there's shots Hunnam and mentors and we have singles ballet chuva or children of bali chuva that have a hard time in sudo him and the mentors and the shots on mr sit sit there and they do tremendous amount of research beforehand to see who is peer who should be paired with who and when you have a camel that's on the campus that draws an intention that draws an attraction it just makes the event so much more exciting and everyone wants to come to the zone to try it all the amenities that are there and when you have kishka the camel that's there you know word just spreads we even had one person who is from the local town who is driving by and he noticed during the mid winter in a few feet of snow a camel walking around and on his own campus and like he was wondering like what's a camel doing there and then he stopped his car and he noticed some Hebrew letters in a sign and suddenly he realized that he didn't even know that there was such a mega Jewish organization so close to where he lived and since then he has come to almost every single event that we host so the camels an integral part of Kirov it's an integral part of the rebus program it's an integral part of everything that we do and having such events is what really makes sure they'll come happen we've had we have over a thousand singles that are part of this program over 80 volunteers of mentors shots Hunnam we had over 500 dates this past year just a few engagements in

3,500 active partners that 7000 people learning Torah in part of the tour mates program that's just adults this is not talking about the zodiac tournaments this is just the adults over 7000 people learning Torah and that's once a week some learn more but officially the program is once a week 30 minutes a week that's not hard anybody can do that so if you're out there and you're listening or you're watching this you too you too can do this tour mate org 1 877 Torah 1 2 3 is the number to call and you want to get involved I'll tell you a very quick story that I found very inspirational about a fellow named Steve not his real name Steve moved to the east coast from out out west he moved with his family after a very tragic accident where he lost his seven-year-old son in a very very tragic accident the family moved out from Mountain West they moved down to the right here to the tri-state area and they will finally get very very difficult it was very hard after such a tragedy was very hard to move on but somehow Steve got involved in the term AIDS program and that was a life changer to him that was his little yeshiva he learned with his Torah make Yaakov and they learned every week and and slowly that that inspired him and that guy that got him to grow a little bit to the point where Steve now sent his three other children took them out of public school and sent them to Shiva a tremendous a tremendous step and as time was going on slowly Steve sat the felt start to feel much better the family was doing much better all because of his involvement with his with her story made tremendous shout out to his Torah met Yaakov who really made a tremendous impact on this family it's unbelievable even throughout this whole Coronas situation things were things were not so great I heard from this tourmate coordinator that Steve is only talking about mo na he's only talking about wonderfully he's so happy but it's not over Steve has a son we're gonna call him Burroughs Burke is in the eighth grade not doing so well in school great kid a nice kid he loves school the school loves him but scholastically he's not doing well to the point where his school says I don't know if Burroughs should graduate this year we mainly need to keep him back in eighth grade another year now that's a real yeshiva challenge what do we do we're Stephen and his wife gonna turn when they have such a challenge Yaakov Yaakov the hero Tom eight steps in and says not a problem not a problem you got an issue with you Shiva I'm gonna take care of it let me try let me learn with borrow for a little bit Jocko volunteered to learn with Stephens son borrow and they learned for a little bit it took a couple of weeks so he finally made a difference and to the point where the school was able to notice that Burke is looking so much better he's doing so much better he's now able to keep up scholastically his yeshiva experience has been transformed this is a man just because he signed up for a term eight and it has changed his entire life his entire being his holy Shiva experience with his son has has changed I urge you if you have not yet gotten involved you have two options now

rabbi boom please tell us about please tell us about mitzvahs something about mitzvahs so let me tell you something why you should vote for the revit students program mitzvahs is key involved in the residence program we all know someone who needs a shut up we all know someone who we wish we could help them out but we might not have the ability to help them out the Rebbetzin program offers that help for so many people who forms that category people who nobody else would read them should welcome people who don't really have in network that could take care of them they don't have a support system that is the rabbets this program we care about q we try to help you and there's so much success in the rebus program let me tell you a story about the Rebbetzin program to show you about a mitzvah of somebody getting involved in the zone by the rebus is retreat we wanted someone to try to give a ride to Rebbetzin Mintz who was leaving a little bit earlier than rabbi Mintz and we had one of the girls that were there and one of the Rebbetzin went over to the girl and tried asking her could you give rabbit rabbits and mints a ride home it's a big mitzvah the girl you know was like shrugging she wasn't sure if that's what she really wants to do she's bringing a couple of friends you know the conversation the car obviously won't be the same if rabbit Simmons to sit there so the rabbit turns to her and says you know we have a track record whoever takes Rebbetzin Mintz home gets engaged within the year and let me tell you something that year Laura gets an email from that girl and says you know I'm happy to be part of that statistic because I just got engaged a bit slow just like that you know you can make up these stories people get involved that many people ask you know I don't have such a network how could it be part of the Register's program well the rebus program is also for mentors so many people just need advice a resident just told me that she was giving advice there was a girl that was going out and after two days she said no and it was for really no reason the reps had tried like pulling you know the mentor was trying to pull some type of reason like why are you saying no it's not for me I'm looking for something else and she quickly realized that this girl just had dreams way beyond expectations so she tells the girl I'm telling you I'm not letting you date anybody else until you take some time to think about this and you realize what you really need because if you're looking for Prince Charming Prince Charming is not out there and if he is out there he probably doesn't want to date you so get get reality get a reality check she started she continued dating this guy and after ten dates she got engaged we all could be matters join go to Rebbetzin org either you have a network or you could be a mentor but that's a mitzvah a simple ride is ask us making sure dukedom is what brings people closer is what these Valley chuhwa these people who are changing their life needs help them out vote right now so we get the funding on auradon or auction dot org forward slash boats vote for the rebus program and don't forget to donate to the

we move on to our contestant rabbi Forster as we spin the wheel don't forget 8777 auction or auction org and put in the votes to see who's gonna win here hoorah auction org forward slash vote and we landed on dark blue Rabbi Forster please give us something about Shabbos something okay rabbi for just so you know the votes are exactly even at this time and you can now take the win if you are very inspirational okay well exactly even doesn't really make me nervous at all I mean toi f the role is basic I mean that's that's where it all starts okay III think that's pretty it's pretty obvious I'm gonna tell you a story about Chavez and tell your story again it's not gonna change the name we're gonna call we're gonna call this person's name Jacob only because I didn't get permission from the individuals to state their name Jacob by the way again not his real name I think he's the longest standing tour mate and I think that he's learning with his touring made for over 13 years and he's got the record for the longest term eight Pierre unbelievable and when he started they started learning Amish more basic and they slowed by now they're learning tomorrow unbelievable this is a family that's been growing they've been growing in you had this growing in mitzvahs they were keeping Shabbos quite a while back his wife Sarah was complaining they were keeping Shabbos but Shabbos felt empty Shabbos was was just very basic cuz they didn't know much they didn't know what to do they were just you know reading just just trying to get by they barely knew what was what was also what was motor what they're allowed to do on campus what they're not allowed to do on campus but it certainly did not have any meaning any meaning to them but again Jacobs got a tour ma he's learning Torah that's the essence for every single Jew it's got it helped him grow as time went on and they became more knowledgeable and he was learning more from history made interesting jacob says that he was so so dedicated and he so much was hanging on to every word his tour mate said if if he was in a noisy room and sometimes he wasn't able to hear so well he would go out to his car to sit in his car to be able to learn in in a quiet place after a while Jacobs wife Sarah calls in to her tour mate coordinator and and reports the following since Shabbos in our home has been transformed it's taken a little bit of time but here's what happens on a typical Shabbos now instead of sitting on the couch and just moving from one couch to the other from one chair to the next and nobody knowing what to do and what's supposed to happen next and not feeling anything now they sit down to their Friday night meal they sit there finish about dinner and Jacob presents the family with a question something that he learned some Torah thought that he looked for mr. mate their 16 year old son Eitan chimes in he says I heard something about that in yeshiva and now they have a bit of a discussion and then and then the mother seraglio chimes in this you know but I've been with to Torah spot on Tuesday night with Rob amens I heard women say something a little bit different on this on this topic and sure enough there's a whole discussion that goes on and they're all animated and they're all into it and it brings real meaning to their Shabbos this is what this is what from the people on the ground this is what people are saying what Torah mates has done to them this is not what we're saying shall be for them nobody told that Tyra made no never told him that this is what Shabbos is supposed to be but this is what the Torah did to them as they learned Torah he learnt with his Torah maid she learned with her Torah mate and they became more knowledgeable automatically that Shabbos was changed to the point that they feel a difference in Shabbos wouldn't you want to make a difference one eight seven seven Torah one two three if you're having a hard time with the numbers I know the numbers are a bit

day in every camp and it's no different in the zone the zone visiting day is like no other camp but in the zone there's something very special about visiting day something different visited by us is a Kirov Bonanza it's like a it's something which is I don't know if there's any one day a one event where so much queue happens anywhere in the world like visiting day in the zone the boys camp both session session a session be and the girls can't both sessions visiting day all the parents come the amount of work that's put in by Amish p.m. to prepare for visiting day to find out which kids are not in yeshiva yet and we have to try to get them into you when their parents come because obviously the parents have to be involved and which kids arm should speak to her about mints and and although all the work that goes into preparing to give out tour mate cards to get parents sign up for tour mates and the math of tour mates created on Thursday is amazing and this year this past year one of our March meeting was standing you know walking around talking to parents and trying to get parents tour mates to shiva's any soil Adu member who was encamped for many years do you member was standing he actually was in camp he left and he came back the camper do you he was standing looking at a tent that was erected outside the office in the zone now what was that tent that tent is wherever Mint's sits the entire visiting day and he meets with parents and he gets parents and he tries to help parents and convince parents on to send their children to yeshiva and many many people walking around

shamone shamone you know like you're looking at it like you don't know what that is like do you know what goes on over there you know right Mincey meets people he starts telling him you know he that that you know he meets parents and he's trying to convince the kids to go to yeshiva like you're in your Sheva now and he turns and he says rabbi do I know what that tent does I am Who I am today because of that tent he said many years ago when I was a little kid and this I remember this boy when I was a single staff member in camp many years ago I was in that tent with my parents and my mints and from that tent I went to yeshiva and I've been in yeshiva since then and this do you member today looks like a regular yeshiva guy actually and he said that tent changed my life so you want to

she came to girl she came to camp from a community and we bar Hashem did get her to go to yeshiva and that's where she really is she's doing amazing but most important of all from that Davin Inc we did a follow up I did a follow up call I spoke to the mother just to find out how things are doing and everything's going okay that she's doing well in the Shiva in the school and she told me that ever since her daughter came to camp and is in school the Torah is so infectious for the entire family right that although they were traditional and the father did go to shul Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur
