can do that uh see how many people are are putting in at this moment because operators are standing by it's just one seven seven seven eight seven seven seven auction we have comes it's we have stories and i think that right now we are excited to go back to shabbat with ura in the zone right now in urus campus in the zone upstate new york there are hundreds of uru families that have gathered together to spend shabbos in the zone and we are honored tonight to hear from rabbi shaya leifer who is the assistant kirif director of urakiri of hokkien who also happens to have a phenomenal summer camp here in lakewood but we're not going to give separate shout outs who will be interviewing a longtime ura family the siegel family with charlie siegel and we're going to take you now to upstate new york in the zone with rabbi leifler okay we just spent a beautiful shabbos here in upstate new york at the zone together with a longtime friend of the ura family charlie getzel siegel now charlie or ghetzel however you are more comfortable with can you tell us please how you found your family how you joined your family a little bit about your background well let me begin by saying that we're on our fifth meal of the day and i don't know if we're gonna have a six but everyone out there is missing this how did i get to auras an interesting story we used to live in um connecticut and we would go down there three and a half hour ride to go to services at chabad and my wife says turn to me one day and says that's crazy the khabad's all over the place so what we did was we ended up looking on the internet we found rabbi rabashkin in oneonta which is about 50 minutes from here we go there there's no sure so we're walking around and we're just standing in front of a house and the gentleman comes out it's rabbi rabashkin we asked him about coming to services and i made a mistake of asking him if i should wear a suit and tie to which he replies you should go to ura because this is a college town that doesn't mean he excludes us and we still go there but he says i'm going to put you in contact with someone named israel schwartz which many people may know and he got us here he either talked to the mints or the aura organization about 10 years ago and it's been a wonderful experience and my friend moshe who's over here also had the same experience through israel and we're known as the three uh levites from upstate new york okay amazing now have you ever joined any of the ura programs have you ever experienced of any of the um you know different things that ura has to offer absolutely one of the most important things about aura is torahmates um it's it's heartwarming you could be watching tv you could be on the computer or you could be learning with your torah mates and it's really a down-home experience for everybody and it's different because it's not just reading a text and you could be doing a navi or hamish or whatever but you're actually interacting with different people uh some of my torah mates are from up here of course moshe uh someone's from long island there's others from brooklyn so anyone who is out there listening to us right now it's a big mistake and a shame you don't have a torah made and you should call era and set it up right now well that's amazing you just mentioned a couple of torahmates how many terms do you have i actually have five torahmates again we do different things navi hummish gemara so it's you choose with your torahmate and era really helps set them up for you they put you together with someone who can teach you or learn with you that's a better way to put it amazing i know you've been to many events over here so can you tell us a little bit about the experience of coming to whether it's one of the chagim or the shabbatons have you ever spoke over here or been part of anything that what goes on over here what can you tell us a little bit about your experiences okay well the first time i ever came here a strange rabbi came up to me and says we want you to give a speech and i i must have given that look in the eye she says you can speak for under 30 seconds if you want we all were sitting inside the ballroom and they called on me like third and what i said to the people was have you ever known an attorney that can speak for less than 30 seconds everybody laughed that was the end of it it didn't matter what i said one of the things i did say was when you come here you're in hashem's country look around you people it's beautiful and if you look at the people here in the background you see everybody smiling they're not smiling at what i'm saying they're smiling because they're having a great time that's right amazing and what about can you tell us a little about your experience about the actual events itself like do you have a favorite event that you enjoy coming to is there whether it's a rosh hashanah a sukkot a passover absolutely not and i'll tell you why i come from a different background i came here everybody's friendly they want to know what you want to learn no one is ever aggressive or in your face and that's one of the great warm things about ura so i've been to many of the events i like them all uh there's men's weekend women's weekend the holidays the shabbatons that we're at tonight everything is wonderful and well done amazing now i know by every event we have let's say an ask the rabbi session um is that something you can tell us about your experiences with let's say the ask the rabbi session well i'm kind of shy and i really never asked the questions uh i listened to the answers and the responses of the menses who have been very very very kind to me we also have dueling rabbis where we'll be told to be quiet so we can listen to them argue over some jewish lore of fact very very interesting stuff and i'm sure everyone out there would really really enjoy it so come on okay that's amazing now i know that you mentioned that you're from locals over here now but you also have made the trip all the ways part of the year you spend in um i believe you said florida you had mentioned to me earlier now you're over here now for the um you know for this for this um shabbaton do you enjoy it up here in the mountains more or is florida better than this now answer honestly actually it's the best of both worlds um the difference for florida is i am within and i never knew this because i bought my place unseen off the internet i'm within walking distance of chabad so i can go there for every shabbos which is really really really nice that's amazing have you felt that this you know to the torahmate experience have you felt that it impacted your life in any way um you know i guess explaining to other people you know encouraging them to want to take it like what have you felt that you've gained or you know taken out of this program specifically that you know other people could really gain from well it it's kind of an embarrassing question because as i said i come from a different background we were never taught gemara or told about the mission or anything or the navies or anything like that so that's you know a great thing that uh and i said already that though you'll get hooked up with someone who you can learn with you'll find it's very very smooth within you know 10 minutes you'll you're going to be best friends and that'll continue forever for years and years and years okay amazing you mentioned earlier that you feel like this place is like hashem's i don't know shem's country can you elaborate a little bit on that in which way is this place like hashem's country what what do you feel that when you're here like could you tell us a little bit about the um the experience and which parts of it makes you have that feeling well again we are there's three of us locals i put we all have beautiful homes with beautiful views i actually um look over a valley there are no houses to look at everybody has a minimum of 10 acres so it's kind of amazing i did live in the suburbs for many many many years and we just love it up here now of course florida's a different experience we're in a condo you can't go anywhere you can't go on the elevator you can't go in the halls without meeting and talking to people so here you're kind of like isolated it's the best of both worlds as i said before it's very very nice okay amazing well thank you so much for for joining us and it's really i'm i'm actually blown away with five tour mates i don't know that many people that even have that amount and that is something that's actually an inspiration to me and i'm sure to many many others and um okay we we appreciate you taking the time out for us tonight all right thank you and we are back back in the studio what an incredible incredible interview it's so nice that they have this shabbat with dura this week and they were able to kind of to just go right up there and that the people out there in in computer land can actually see and they can see us we can see them it's like it's as if we're in the zone it's as if we're there and it's so nice because because you know you don't people don't realize this stuff these like shabbat tones shabbatonim and they take place all the time all the time all the time i mean those campuses up there are constantly busy they have a rabbits in chabadon they have a torahmate chabatone they have a rabbi's jabba tone they have the the camps they have they have this rosh hashanah everywhere everything there's always something going on in the

again 1877 auction or auction.org become a winner don't be someone who's upset and beats himself up about not winning because you didn't put in so put in tonight and you will be a winner and now we have the privilege of hearing words of hezek directly from ura's founder and spiritual leader of khayim minshli tarafraim of course is responsible for uhuru's entire existence from back in the days when he went with talmudim and volunteers knocking on doors to encourage and help jewish parents and send their children to yeshiva and though ura has grown tremendously since those days rabbi is still intimately involved in every aspect of the organization just this past shabbos he was upstate involved with hundreds of families and one program he is perhaps most known for is ask the rabbi a live open forum for questions on virtually anything related to yiddishkai ask the rabbi started off as a highlight of events and has become a popular weekly live stream event with participants joining in from across the country ask the rabbi is now available in book form 2 with years of insightful questions and answers on hashkafa and jewish practice published in one easy-to-read text available at your local jewish bookstore and of course we encourage our listeners to check out the full archive of ask the rabbi clips on youtube you could send in your questions at any time to ask the rabbi at ura.org and tune in weekly at ura.org and now we turn to rabbi mintz for a powerful and timely message to our listeners and supporters because everybody shall elect him presidential for all the people that are listening and seeing what's going on i guess you get an idea how many thousands of men women and children who is having asphalt on all the different programs but we have to learn from the velt when it comes to money yes a person that has money he wants to have more money gets more money even more money person never satisfied with money so you have to learn from that way for us to look into rookies also if we're gaining rookies we can't be satisfied in the world or work is and i would like to invite all of you to work for ura what do i mean one of the most successful programs of star rates we have thousands of targets work on shen 5 thousand targets have been not mistaken we have carbuses five thousand bruces but naturally there's so many people out there that benefit so much fried people people are frightened gods and fired people they're not religious at all they've joined it and they've changed imagine if everybody listening to this program watching this program everybody will take month one tori make them come take on themselves one person get involved with termite half hour a week free of charge we have thousands of participants thousands more of eden's retired every week becoming the film family's been coming from the darts we come through so i say work for uber volunteer for the world everybody will probably not take it by yourself to get involved and warm up the women the men to men older people younger people and uh that would be such a narcissistic and researches everybody doing it whatever they learned when that fruit got dad would be yours

testing they dismantled that whole thing and now it's ready to go you can go straight in no papers and our first person tonight to pitch their reason why they should be the winner to 12 tickets is going to be arihani do you have a reason tell me give me your best shot at why you should be the winner of this amazing prize um i heard in israel that a lot of people don't have cars because it's very expensive to have a car and at this point i think we're almost at five dollars a gallon for gas and i can't really afford the gas so i might as well be an arizer if i can't drive anyway i might as well be uh chilling back at uh the carson so uh because i can't afford gas how are you getting to the airport though you'll drive me can i get a ride i'm on his couch i'm not driving your way to the white house okay okay good answer can't afford gas a topic on everyone's table today okay eight on cats do you have a reason why you should be the winner of this prize tonight yeah i i bark hashem have tickets to go to soil already and therefore i'm gonna sell i'm to win the prize i'm going to sell the tickets and then my son's school is having a building campaign and i'll just give the money to them you know see if you know what i'm saying what school is that so yeah yeah get that down on paper you're getting that money okay good one good one to take the money okay mo robbie you're up next first off last year you gave me this question and you made me name all the friends i would take so all i did was win me over some guys and the rest of my friends stopped talking to me so i appreciate you changing it up thank you i'm very torn over here it's either so i could put it on my wall only one only one only one we're still thinking about it put it on the what's up status what do you guys think yeah it's going to be on the water status anyways as you know june 12th bmg is hosting a monumental event i am one of those one of the members that actually considered uh to be a host and because i don't get my the bmg cuddle check yet i do need to get to israel and win those tickets so i can continue striking so what's your final answer so my son could get into brisk and it's my daughter cheating hello so um what i'm gonna just stick with is because my orlando rental was cancelled no we're gonna go so i could put it on my whatsapp you got it okay let me remind you i don't want to have to throw anybody out of the game one reason one one reason okay what's up status seems to be the best fit over here for you it's a good one i like it turks tell us why you should be the winner to 12 tickets to israel one 12 tickets to israel gives me 12 more opportunities to do peace deals and i do peace tales like nobody's ever seen so we're going to go to israel and we're going to do a lot of peace deals like you wouldn't believe and also because i want him to be an influencer without an account what no stop it no i i'm not your answer you gotta pick one of the cards um they gave me a very rigged set of cards over here uh because give me one twelve tickets could be yours give and make sure it's a smart good one make sure it's again oh yeah uh because meatboards are so last here and i am going to israel to find out what is the next thing in jewish food okay all right okay we have up next with us bark perlowitz tell us why you should be the winner of this twelve tickets there's a strong is that turks and mo ravi both took my cards away and gave me their garbage cart but but barakah thank you hashem i have five kids now it would be amazing if once a month for a full year i could go to eritsea12 it would be amazing for my sanity so and when i'm there i could feel like an influencer without an account influencers never do their kids in this so yeah i'm gonna go with an influencer without an account okay you have here a man who's taking all the tickets for himself but the unique specialty about this prize is you could actually split it 12 ways you can make a lot of friends with this you could be doing 12 tickets will be yours yourself i'll give you free i'll take the what's up status he doesn't need the account nixon six baby okay and we have up next minion why do you want to be the winner of 12 tickets to israel so once i win 12 tickets i'm going to make a poll to see who in america is the 12 most hated people in america i'm going to bring them all with me on a plane i'm going to fly to israel and with that we'll be able to make america great again oh no oh wait that's 13 then okay unless you're one of the 12 most hated no no no yeah i'm one of them tickets you could take 24. could we just can we just take a moment to applaud your hat uh joey's joey joey just gave it to me that's real merch right there look he says he says i look like alex clara okay and now the man at the end last into the game last to give us his reason of why joey newcomb why should you be the winner to 12 tickets to israel here tonight give us a very convincing reason well first of all i want to give a shout out to hani hulkauer who is the head chiller in the chillz girl zone what's it called girls children very good you just earned a lot of points yeah we just earned some points you stayed with the uber programming very good also i would like you see the price we all have different answers but me and reveitan over there are both our kids are in the same school so he wanted to sell his tickets to give raise money to see so i might join you in that one over there and there's a way to split answers you know what i'm saying oh yeah over there it seems like ciac will appreciate the donation without bending it on a raffle but yeah for all you listening out there cx a good school even though i don't have much of an education but it might say it's a good place joking i'm joking the kid's here by the way the only one that makes sense here but levi said i hope my wife is not watching how we doing over their wife because my daughter's in chadokum and she's four and uh and we're like the old-time eden you know what i'm saying that we could marry up the kids when they're four already what you're looking yeah you know take my card so so if i so if i get myself i get 12 tickets to israel i look like a gui and then everybody wants to marry my daughter moscow i hear so since my daughter's in sudokum already and i could show that i'm aguirre okay and now the winner this is very tough this is very tough to see why should the winners be the 12 tickets to israel tonight and i think the person everyone please hold up your cards again and i think the best one that fits tonight is the best one that fits tonight is 12 tickets to israel the reason why you should be a winner of 12 tickets to israel oh with this i'm taking everybody with me okay i'm on a journey with you i'm gonna i'm gonna actually give it to mo ravi i'm gonna give it to murabi let me explain let me explain let me explain why we're giving even though you cheated but we're going to give it to him why are we going to give it to him because he's going to put it on his status pump up the auction for next year so you don't be one of those people that don't lose out from winning 12 tickets to eric cisrell i'm not going to give my contest everyone throw your card away from that from from don't make such a mess i'm gonna give you one new card so you have some

the shark for something else so you know you know the cost of meats going up these days and inflation and different things like that so i think i would trade in and get the cash buy a couple of like either like a couple of cows or a couple of sheep you know a play pen from them i'm sure they have there at the pet store and then uh you know i take a few shackling classes because uh you know i'm really looking uh to start up a beef jerky business and i think you know you know let the shark go i hear they're endangered you know let me uh yeah you got a couple yeah there we go that's what i'm talking about okay good answer and the winner for tonight okay and the winner for tonight winner of this round is none other than i think we all agree that the what what was created by this prize in the ura auction book was just hak this is awesome everyone's talking about it we're giving it to bark perlits just for the hive to be able to have the winner here tonight great round we'll be back shortly everyone pay attention to our new video and we'll be back more with more game shortly and you can still win tonight 187 77 auction euroauction.org you could be the winner of one of the over 650 thousand dollars worth of prizes we'll see you shortly lisa how much money [Laughter] i have a question yeah are you single go ahead and that's why it's pre-recorded you guys have this wonderful program what's it called again the rabbits network the rebecca's network yeah okay and the goal of this program is to make people into robinsons the idea of the program is to mentor singles through the journey in shidduchim eventually we have gone very very much into helping singles actually get set up because in order to mentor them they need to go out with someone is this for for for guys also guys and girls guys i mean i mean obviously meaning but like the name right you usually need a guy no i know but i'm saying that the rebbitson's name kind of thinks like you're helping girls kind of find shidduchim but not necessarily definitely the names throw some people off um but the idea is you know you're getting the mentoring the mentoring is is is needed for both it sounds wonderful it sounds like a great idea you know having someone to mentor which would help him to set up to do some great stuff but how does that like fit in with with ura and ura's mission as uh doing heroes like you know a lot of singles that that become ballet chuva or they have parents uh that have about your background you know usually you know have find a little bit difficult through the journey of shidduchim ura came through and wanted to to close that gap and to help the you know the belchuva singles get integrated into uh into the from world so what's your day like you know on a day to day what are you doing for the reminiscence program in a typical week we have we're about five to ten um applicants that that apply to become a part of the program at this point it you know important to mention i think we have about about 1400 singles that are signed up as members in the program and they're you know from all over not yet married 400 people right how what's the breakdown uh boys and girls we have about uh i would say two to one two to one what ratio of girls divorce wow so should a crisis exists even in the in the revisions program it's interesting that all these 1400 singles uh all had an interview before they got accepted into the program and this i think is something that is very unique for a lot of the singles we actually do some background check and you know research to make sure that they are you know suitable for us to work with part of my interview process is getting to know the person i want to get to know you i want to get to understand you tell me what you're you're like what's your daylight so it's not like an algorithm or something like that right like they run what would be too modern for you in a guy or in a girl you know what are some of your hobbies well what do you appreciate book smarter or streets i really try to get to know them and once i get to know them and i have a good idea then then i can start kind of work with them you know every person that like all 1400 people if you know them you do wow i i feel that we offer a warmth a connection a real personal connection because even after we've gone through the zoom interview with them we make sure to connect with the single even if we have no no idea for them every three four three to four months we'll send them an email how are you doing just checking in with you to see what's what's up do you do pictures because i know that's like a big do that or not you have a policy on that it's okay so so we definitely we we're very respectful of people's uh requests we do have singles um that request not to have their pictures sent out and we're very respectful of that we always encourage uh you know both you know the boys and the girls uh to try to date and and get to know each other not based on on the picture and if they do it based on the picture they're lost because then when they come to a retreat sometimes and we say i'm putting him at the same table as her he might come over to me and he'll say you're gonna say no it's important i think to note the amount of programming that we do throughout the year we have uh we have many shabbatons that we do in different communities workshops that we do for the for for singles you know speed dating events we have shotgun meets that we do you know all throughout the year and all these events are free of charge for the singles uh and i think that's something that is incredible and i hear this feat you know i get this feedback all the time like i can't believe you know i can't believe that this is free that's great and that's free and that's kind of what the the money that you guys are donating to ura is helping to to to provide this kind of support in this network and the continuity of yiddish guide as the reps and said so so nicely so thanks so much you guys can get back to it and continue your amazing work thanks for giving me a couple moments okay get packing because the aura auction is about to send you

this one i say one give me one good your best shot i'll tell you the one i'm not going to give you because the shotgun said this time will be different that's why [Music] yeah so um having a home makeover would enable me to invite a lot of people into my house for example all the people are mad at him for not flying flying out there to stroll and did you not say that you're not going to be able to get back home tonight and all the country yeah i'm not home i don't care who's there and all the controversial people who didn't like his last production they could all pile into my house but the most important person that i would like to impress is right over here his name is five-ish i would like to meet five-ish and we could end the round right now okay you can go to the next one is homemade over virus yes i hear that's what he cares about okay our next joey newcombe give us your best shots so this happens to be true but hello joey joey stay behind here stay behind this uh hello mr over there mr hello hello testing we hear you we hear you you there give us your best shot why you should be the winner of home makeover prize number 38. this happens to be true but i'm going to go back in time a little bit so basically you know when you have a nice uh home makeover you could host the cover the shule in your house so imagine like we're still in covert are we still it depends who we are are we over there shots fired very deep truth isn't the five stat look there was no covert over there but imagine was still give me your best hand four feet so because i still owe the shule on 20 alias which happens to be true i stole the shoe on 20 why don't they keep giving away that guy yeah so samantha i don't know maybe it's uh what do they call your turks and caicos okay i'll wire turks burn caicos over there next vacation me and you were going to turkey or like oh excuse me excuse me give me your best reason it's because you have to pay more like joey you want to no this way this way i could have a home makeover yeah and i could host my brandings for the show yeah because the show always has my brands and this way that's my way of paying back with y'all yeah okay very londish okay and now we have mark parlows please give us your best shot at why you should be the winner of this home makeover prize so i'm a little bit more advanced there i have joe with casa show them what i mean okay yeah my daughter is eight not four and as hashem time flies as we all know right and then you know it's not gonna pass by then so we happen to have the newlyweds coming over very soon for shabbos all right and you know i want them to come to me and ask them which is also one of the cards over here but anyways so my answer is because the newlyweds are coming for shabbos good answer okay good answer give me my best shot okay all right so now since joey went back in time a little i'm going to go back in time a little also it's actually a story about the urathon which happened around 15 years ago i was once here by uthon watching it back in the days you know when they had lipa on country obviously you remember those days racking up points over here rock bot okay go let's move out actually a funny story i was a customer i was a custodian at that time and i was sitting there in the crowd watching to uthon and my caller who's now my wife called me because she was watching she saw me over there through the window she called me and i took my phone i saw that she was calling me and i just those days flipped and just flipped it closed and she saw that on the camera and she's like oh i just saw that she's just showing me hang up on her basically she still went through the marriage and she still talks about the story so my anniversary is coming up next week so i'd love to get a home makeover because my wife reminded me that our anniversary is coming up okay okay go why are you home makeover um homemaker i'm moving now actually um i'm changing uh my place of residence i haven't changed it with the post office yet but i'm going to uh and um you know you know how it is like women when they get a new piece of furniture it's like a baby when it gets that first piece of challah at the table yeah it's like it wants more you know so uh we're moving into a new apartment yeah it's gonna cost us a little bit we've already spent something into the couch and that'll get us a little bit more so i guess because my wife saw it on between carpools you know things happen in the carpool i guess whatever that is okay whatever that's my answer whatever that could be okay why should you be the winner of this home makeover uh okay well if you think you can do any makeover for eight thousand dollars you're living in la la land and if you aren't doing it for that amount of money it means you're a very early who spends very little on legal makeover for eight thousand so it's a half a time thing you know have a time thing i'm not sure that's my attempt to connect this to the answer but you know if you're going to spend that little amount of money makeover you must be learning a lot of muscles so you know that's that's that's my answer it's a habit time thing all right okay good answer now we're going to end up with mo ravi give us your best shot so first off this next segment my answer is sponsored by david kaplan of fairmont insurance probably insurance needs he really gets our business goals real estate healthcare and uranium this is a very tough one for you ladies and gentlemen because i don't really like any of my answers just want to give a shout out to this one ain't no lynically schliesley ain't no visual and eclipselessly i think i'm gonna go the very apropos answer we all know that the new rage is to go to orlando for yantef and every time we go to orlando the first thing my wife tells me how come this is not our house this is so much nicer than our house we're just going to stay in florida so i think if i got a home makeover with a beautiful kitchen with those special knobs that break after three times of turning though i will be allowed back in the house again so because my orlando rental is cancelled we will be

bit more you know a little bit more serious i think that to talk about and and commemorate the laws that you know people say the key of world but i think it's really a loss for claudius with the passing of rabbi zachary wallistein who is a giant of a person someone that accomplished some things that we can only dream about most people nora by wallace thing as being this world-renowned speaker someone that inspired the masses thousands and thousands tens of thousands of people would tune in to hear his speeches on the different platforms some may know that by willisteen was someone that founded arnava he was someone that started a girls seminary at terrace nava he started another seminary at teresbeen i believe it's called he started a high school collateral so many things he accomplished but some people may also know that by wallace dean started before our nava before avinu malcano before atera sky before all of these monumental organizations and programs and schools it all began in a classroom in yeshiva of crown heights teaching eighth grade boys boys that came from secular backgrounds many of them from non-religious backgrounds and he was therapy and he was arabian crown heights yeshiva for decades inspiring thousands of tamidim many of them many of them are today true binay torah the pride of claudia's role it's an honor tonight to be joined by two of these original rabbi wallace thing boys students of yeshiva of crown heights that are joining us here tonight at the urathon and it's a privilege to welcome jeff stern and howie hershkowitz welcome to the urathan and you know i guess give us a little bit jeff and howie a little bit of a background you know how you got to norway wallace dean what was it like being in his class what was it like in the old days before he was this world known celebrity that everyone was running after give us a little a little taste of what it was like okay um i met robbie wallace dean or i heard of roger wallacey when i was in sixth grade i came to a new school called chronic to shiva and the word on the street was that the eighth grade redmi is the coolest review big boys to different places different trips he played sports with them and everything else and all you could wait for being in sixth grade then seventh grade is to finally get to the point where you're gonna be in his class and finally got to his class and and he and he was he was just a great rebbe he connected to the boys uh maybe not necessarily to me right away because uh we the it was a day school for nobody was observant nobody was showing shabbos lot of things that he might have been preaching we weren't really ready to listen to but in time he got he got he got the message out to a lot of people definitely to me in many ways he's he he was we we got closer as i got older i went in towards the end of high school and that's that's where we started i'll let jeff as well okay so i was in robert warstein's class 1988 1989 toshiba located in mill basin i grew up in the area um and like how we said it was a day school i would say about 90 to 95 percent of us were not chomura shabbos or show more casuals um rabbi wawarseen was that larger than life cool guy of a rebbe he would take us to the parks on friday play tackle football he would pile us into his car and take us out to eat all expenses paid every morning started off with him showing up with two shopping bags full with with all kinds of cookies and cakes and potato chips um every year there was torah war that he originated in kranichishiva where he got the entire school to compete against each other divided just like color works at first cultural war and we compete against each other and the way that you got points is by davening with your finger in the sitter and by doing well on your tests and coming into school with mr misfinals from home so that's how i got first introduced to my rugby 1988-1989 so thank you thank you jeff and how you know it's interesting you mentioned a lot of different pieces of robbie wallace and how he was like as a rebbe in the classroom you know here at ura we run a camp and it's always the debate of how much extras are needed and how much more of the excitement is necessary and how much we need to emphasize on the extracurricular and it's always that that back and forth we're listening to you two students robbie wallace from over 30 years ago what you're talking about is how he came in not just the teaching and the tell you and all that kind of stuff which is obviously critical but it came with the bags of nash he came in with the sports he came in with the excitement you know talking on the kirov platform here at the urathon how big of a critical need do you think that isn't that that was in who rabbi wallace thing was as an eighth grade rebbe and how that enabled him to impact so many children so many students 100 because when when someone does something for you from their heart and it makes you feel important it just makes you feel whatever it is that they're telling you is important and when somebody cares about you and takes you places that other people would not have and takes the time out of their busy day to go and make you feel that your class not necessarily just us he did it as a whole class is just number one and it's if he's saying like if he's saying it's number one to be putting on filling even though we weren't doing it right away deep down in our in our in our brains it was sort of being planted the seeds were being planted and that's what it comes down to when these these when you're part of something that is great which we thought was unbelievably great and we thought we were privileged to be part of that class it just lays the groundwork for whatever future or the future was that he was he was selling or or trying to instill in us um to just kind of piggyback on what howie said um i actually spent some time on that campus of girl zone and boyzone and that would be rabbi wallerstein's perfect chill because every year he would take the eighth grade boys on a bear mountain a hiking trip where we climb up the mountain with with rabbi wallerstein i i had the privilege of joining ten years after my eighth grade year first year um after my first year law school i joined rabbi wallerstein on this trip and it evolved into not just climbing bear mountain but going horseback riding which i know um is you know takes place on the on the aura campus as well rabbi wow our scene would uh my year we went on a skiing trip he would get us tickets to basketball games so so a big draw to us our i mean i would say a a big connector in our relationship were these off campuses off-campus type of activities because it normalized rabbi lawrence he he made us understand that he could appreciate sports he could appreciate climbing a mountain horseback riding skiing and that that resonated with us because there is this um there is this impression out there that perhaps orthodox judaism and all those events don't interact or don't co-entire or maybe that there are contradictions to each other rather arsene told us otherwise thing to hear how you're talking about the memories you have robert wallace thing and the excitement to fund the trips you know in when we started this zone one of the things we asked of hayamins is like what's the goal of the summer what's the what's the game plan what are we trying to accomplish and it's such a very similar concept he said we want the boys and of course the girls to come here and have the best time of their life that ura should be disney world we'll slip in a little tarou maze we'll slip in a little bit of this we'll put in a little bit of that they come to the zone it's disney world just fun excitement and you look at what are we welcome accomplished so much it's just it's beyond description no one can ever you know really really properly formulate how much it was that he impacted and you talk to his old students like we're talking tonight with you jeff and howie and we hear about he brought that excitement to the classroom he made it he made it fun he made it that you wanted to be in his class it's incredible but you know that was a long time ago but it seems as if both of you howie and jeff kept up throughout the years it wasn't just that you were his students in eighth grade and you had a great year and you know these are the memories you had the the relationship continued so how did you manage that you know i i was in eighth grade i had a great eighth grader have you had a great seventh grade and i i didn't keep up with him was it that you kept up with robbie wallace or my wildest thing made it his point so to speak that he kept up with his students it seems like he had a very integral part of your lives way past just being in the classroom in eighth grade so jeff and i have similar stories i think we have a little bit of differences but uh jeff was very much a part of my journey with roger while i was sleeping when my alignment i i grew up without a father and my father passed away when i was young my mother also passed away when i was a teenager and rey wallace very much was there for me in many different ways when i graduated i went to public school ray walson's biggest biggest push was for his students from yeshiva to go to sheba high school and what he would do is he would offer the parents to pay full tuition if there was a situation where they weren't going to shiva high school he would push them to be able to uh to to give them the up that the financial uh problems or anything else would not be an issue here so he would pay tuition for these boys and for my classmates and i was just one of the kids that did not go foul follow through with that i still went to public school i was the only kid in my class that went to public school however i would come back on my off days where public school was off and she was on come visit and hang around the school right while steve was and while steve was always welcoming to me and we we just really really bonded and there was a point where i was finishing ice when i didn't know what to do at that point because it was early i finished the half year early and he said why don't you go to israel for the year and i didn't know the concept of going to israel for a year was totally foreign to me i went to public school and he asked my he asked his other very close talmud which is sitting right next to me on my right to keep an eye on me because jeff was japanese three years older than i am and jeff went to the ishiba that i was going to so jeff sort of paved the way for me to go to my interview pick me up from the airport when i was when i when when i got to israel and i didn't have any money at that point where i also paid for my plane ticket to go to israel he paid for my tuition in the yeshiva when i went to israel i went to yeshiva and i went to the bank and he pretty much instructed jeff to go and just lead me in the right direction and i followed so and my wallet was uh was sort of that beacon of uh right with drywall said it i'm doing it and uh yeah my i have similar similar stories a little bit different but similar um for our wall scene as i said before was that cool larger than life guy so even though i was still i i i was one of the beneficiaries of of uh yeshiva high school education because rabbi wow are seeing um funded the four years of tuition so i and and and my mother you know whenever our wall street pushes something all the parents respected him so that was the path we took right while she made a big pitch um for me to be in yeshiva high school that's where i ended up and um every year i'd come to visit wallace just to say hi because he was that guy that you just want to come and hang out with my senior year um when i came to say hello the first time i came that year was it was june of my senior year right right around the time i was going to graduate and at that point he asked me what i was doing the following year i told him my plan to attend university and um he begged me he begged me to please reconsider my plans and to to spend the following year in eric cicero and he spoke to me very much like the father at a point in the in my time where i very much needed a father didn't have a father figure in my life at that point rabbi wallison really came in and and spoke to me with his full heart the way a father went to a son and to be honest i was feeling emotions that i never felt before and even though i already had my roommate and had my tuition paid and i showed up to the orientation of the university i was going to attend he got me to change my decision and i guess the rest is history because i ended up going to heartstroke i went back for a second year um to yeshiva innovation and i became from there and that's really where my relationship with rare walstein went to the next level and uh i became what i feel i was like i've been biased by his house right his his his family was my family his friends were my friends and um the relationship really catapulted that point to the extent where by my second year in law school um before the second year of law school he pushed me to become a rebbe myself that whatever worked on me um please i'm begging you there are boys just like you who can use your guidance and believe it or not that was 23 years ago i've been a rebbe for 23 years because rare wall scene pushed me in that direction so i've been telling everyone ever since my robbie was nifter that really everything that is of value right now in my life i truly attribute to him who i am the type of life i i i'm living the family that i have the the the rebbe position everything that i am is really attributable to rebel boxing thing to hear from two students of 30 years ago that have have kept up this relationship and their lives were sort of molded by an eighth grade rebbe it's such a unique concept but that was rabe wallace thing he really was something extraordinarily unique and you know jeff and howie we talk a lot about rabbi wallace lee and people have talked about them and there's been write-ups and articles about the the the tremendous organizations that he started that he continued the seminaries we mentioned several of them the ranch which is a a revolutionary idea in in in in claudius no one ever did it before no never dreamt of doing it and he did it you know we have a lot of people that are tuned in tonight that are listening people are reading about wallace and sometimes individuals may have that that attitude of that was rabbi wallace thing you know that's that's what he did it was something that he did it and it's it's not it's not negative for me to learn from him or i can aspire to be like that person i can't be rabbi wallace dean but but some of us make the mistake that it started somewhere it didn't start that there was a snap of a finger and all of a sudden you had this massive avinu marcano event with tens of thousands of people all over the world attending it started someplace and it grew and you were privy to see that growth so to speak of the impact or by williston had on on claudius stroll wherever they were america eat coast to coast europe air to stroll but there was a beginning there was a beginning you were his students in eighth grade and and what what message would you send to people that are hearing about him and learning about him and reading about him what they could take from rabbi wallace dean's life to say i wish i could be someone like that well could i really be someone like that or what could i do to emulate what he did and continue what he would sort of ourselves to continue what he was doing what message would you give off to the people that are watching i think the essence of rabbi wallerstein and we know riley wallace dean since for 30 years now i've been jeff nelson for 33 years or probably longer before that but we so we know well seen as just a regular eighth grade review and finished up and he went to work afterwards he was the businessman and we knew him as as and we actually and it was jeff that actually pushed him to go and sort of do the neck go to the next step from being just the eighth grade ready to go and speak to uh um post high school boys guys coming back from israel and he didn't want to do it originally because that wasn't something that he knew it wasn't something that he understood he didn't understand 19 year old 20 year old boys he knew 13 year old boys and he did it and he excelled because he just sort of dipped his toe in and he didn't go on to great great things right away nobody goes on to great great things right away he had a bros five boys no five six boys yeah that was the first week five boys that was it it was a tuesday night it was at 10 o'clock and we went out to eat afterwards it was the two of us and three other boys that was it so people think that ray walstein was great from day one ray wallace was great because he just did it and he made it happen slowly nothing happens right away and that's i mean that's the message right well see my wallets had no connection to girls whatsoever in fact it was the opposite the girls didn't like him because he was they were jealous because he spent so much fun time with the boys and they were sitting in their classes their mora and we got to do all these fun things but then when he was doing these classes his habits it turned into from five guys to 30 40 50 60 guys and some girls got rid of it and they said why can't we have a little habura and that also started with five girls no maybe five ten girls i don't remember and that mushroomed in from five ten girls to 200 or 300 girls on a weekly basis not right away just one little step and it came and he again like i said he took responsibility for giving that giving that over and then that turned into these organizations and then he became that that the stop for everything when it came to jewish women really in brooklyn when it came to girls at risk when it came to any kind of advice when it came to this new organization and he just kept opening these other new organizations because there was a need and they weren't necessarily successful right away it just took time just took time and you just but he just made it happen because he took responsibility and hashem does the rest yeah you know very a lot a lot of the hispanic i've been i've been very vocal about speaking about the pre or nava rabbi wallerstein um a lot of them has paid them and a lot of the tributes are focusing on the or nava post or nova rabbit but it's very important to keep in mind that for about 30 years he was an eighth grade to all review eighth grade boys to fund their yeshiva tuition not everyone actually took him up on the offer and not all the the yeshiva students turned out to be necessarily the greatest success but robert wallace never allowed that to be the focus he only took upon himself to do whatever he could do with whatever he had in front of him in the hopes that it would turn into something he would like to plant as many seeds as possible and that all the seeds flourish but he never allowed himself to um to be dejected by the ones that didn't so rabbit washing started off as a 20 year old businessman he got pushed into an area that he was not comfortable with and he just did the best he could and little by little over the years he became better and better at what he did he gave to the point where post right i guess the second chapter of rebbe's cure of life took fold through or nava and then even then it started off relatively small and then as things were coming his way he was doing as much as he could to meet the need so rao allison was always focused on doing the little things not necessarily knowing where it would end up being hopeful and in his case obviously his little things turned into very very big things hashem we all benefited from it all the way but if he would only have done things that he thought would have produced the biggest results then we wouldn't have all that we have today instead he focused on just trying the best he could to do whatever little efforts he could and barack hashem we all see the results of a lesson and story that could be learned from this just just keep on planting the seeds just keep on planting the seeds and things are going to sprout and things are going to grow and we may never dream of what it will be that will actually be the one to grow and just to hear about while he started with boys he's known throughout the world as having this big girl's cure of organization but it really started with boys in an eighth grade class is incredible we're gonna wrap up the interview tonight um with jeff and how we thank you again so much for joining us any final thoughts before we move along to our next segment and i'll say that i would think that jeff and i would be the ultimate uh poster child for who ura is looking to target 30 years ago because i was a public school kid jeff was uh was to had his high school tuition paid for otherwise he would have probably been in public school and he's a rebbe i have five kids um and uh i'm in a good spot for hashem and it's really do really tremendously to towards towards my rebbe because it really was a a great opportunity to get a little bit of a a glimpse in who this great man was and you know by wilds he once spent the shabbos in the zone and he spent shabbos in the zone who was an incredible shabbos he also many of the campers from the girls camp attended a terrace nava ura had that connection through crown high to shiva and by paying for several many tuitions of students in the crown height to shiva that were campers of ours in the boyce camp and um i believe we have a clip of rabbi wallace dean speaking at an urathon in 2010 this was 12 years ago that we're going to play for all of you right now okay so i've been arabian planet shiva no basin which is on east 63rd street and avenue u the canaani area uh the basin area for the last 32 years and uh who has helped us in two ways one that we have many you know most of our most of the people in our yeshiva are kids that are coming from non totally non-religious homes and um i guess in each home it's a battle of whether that should go to yeshiva or they should go to public school and part of that battle with tuition and a lot of them are israelis who come from israel and in israel the public schools there is no tuition and they hear the public school there's no tuition so the first time they hear they walk into yeshiva and find out that you have to pay um many of them you know lose their interest ura has helped many of the our children that are in the yeshiva with their tuitions and and really if ura would not have stepped in i would say a lot of these children girls and boys um from early childhood through eighth grade wouldn't be in yeshiva today so um every dollar you know the the rub was saying before um that you know uh every dollar you know helps ura but um even the people who don't win tonight at three o'clock when they you know when they call out the prizes everyone should know that you definitely have won a prize that's for sure probably much not probably for sure a much greater prize than any material project can be won tonight is the prize of being a partner with uber and in turn being a partner with all these kids and if you change one of these kids lives and end up marrying jewish people and having jewish kids uh they'll eat their either just they'll be just sending you fedexes you know uh for your investments you know well like we heard in the interview before with this with those two tommy them jeff and howie that rabbi wallace had accomplished so much but it started with a small little kabul of five guys in the show and then it grew and they grew and grew and grew grew all of us have an opportunity through ura to contribute to help people out to help impact this world of cure there's a huge loss and one of those ways is through torahmates ura has an incredible torah made program where everybody everybody no matter where you are what where you're from what time zone you're in you can get a torahmate to half an hour a week and it can impact one individual and that individual can impact his family and his children and it goes on generationally so i think we're gonna head now to a short clip about torah mates and again thank you to jeff and howie for a inspiring insightful and i think motivating interview to hear to see the glimpse in sort of like the making of this of this person of my wallace thing actually i'm going to make a little brief announcement the social media is coming up soon there's going to be a phenomenal program that arnab is putting out a 24-hour learning program with i think 40 or 50 speakers that are going to be learning through the night through the day preparation for schwa's um and preparation for schwarz and it's something that i encourage everyone to watch to listen to and thank you again and we're going to take you now to a quick torahmate promo video oh my god myself [Laughter] i have a question yeah are you single and that's why it's pre-recorded so uh rabbi hoberman you know we're doing this uberthon and we really want people to donate and we're kind of going around to all the different people here working and we're trying to find out a little bit about what they do and why it's important so tell us a little bit about your position okay my responsibility is the torah mates department what we do is uh we provide for people that did not have the benefit of a uh of a religious upbringing what we call a yiddish upbringing we provide them with partners or or tourmates tourmate mentors people who will teach them so like you find rap on him from the community that will learn with people right except it's not just for up on them it's really everybody everybody anybody who has grown up has had the good fortune to grow up in a religious family and has had the good fortune to go to a yeshiva or beijakov can help in our program uh leah and her we have approximately 4 600 people in this program habrusa or exactly exactly 4 600 people who are benefiting from this program which means that we have approximately the same number of people who are the mentors who are the guides and that's men and women so you have around you know close to 10 000 people involved that's right that's right what we ask for people to do is commit to 30 minutes a week and you'll be amazed what it can be accomplished and what that can lead to and what that can grow into that's amazing so it sounds like such a wonderful kind of program um do people meet their torah like how does that work the people you said a lot of it's remote like i imagine you have some guy from alaska learning with someone from williamsburg we have once a year we have a tournament retreat and that's that's a weekend at the zone which is exclusively for tournaments we have one for the men one for the women separate separate weekends when you join the ura family even if you're just joining in for one leg or one angle you get access to to the entire array of all the ore programs we have a staff of 22 coordinators their job is to help arrange the partnerships support the partnerships be there for them answer questions and and we send them sparring we provide the swarm we provide the books for them to learn with and we support them in every way for example just in the last week we had a question about somebody wanting to know something of uh about shabbos we had a question something about wanting to know something about what to do in the kitchen and and the the questions got escalated to us and we had one of one of our rabbits over here uh you know provided the answers and gave them the guidance that they needed so you don't need to be an expert you don't need to be a cure professional all you need to be is somebody who cares about other jewish people thank you so much i'm going to let you get

started broadcast and you're about to finish 1-877 auction 1-877-7 auction or auction.org if you want to support ura's wonderful programs like the torah mates program where you have rabbi biederman and jason learning for 13 years and now finishing um finishing me you find that um in the beginning you know you guys are probably buddies right i mean yeah your friends i know by now you would think um in the beginning was it was it difficult was it awkward was it no but i was just wondering how much patience he had for me in the beginning uh-huh well you why why why why is that like well i knew very little you knew very little and you were coming along and and he was just the combination stories and fresh like you know and he was he patient rabbit he's not known for that that's correct i agree with that yeah he he had to be patient with me in the beginning and and and that that's amazing and for you was it i'm saying there's a lesson on being patient i think the probably the most um the most common concern maybe that people have um and i could ask you to put it to both of you actually is i'm gonna be a torah mate uh people are gonna ask me stuff i don't know the answer the answer to and it's gonna you know it's gonna be too philosophical and you know some guy's gonna be coming with you know you know ask me questions from like plato's republic and and i'm not gonna know that so what would you both answer to that kind of thing i would say i don't know and i'll look into it um how do you feel about it like if someone out there is one is saying like i'm gonna be asked questions that i may not know the answer to or and what do what do people think you know if if your torah mate says well i don't know i'm going to look into that is that right it's a normal response that uh we're all normal people and understanding torah and if someone doesn't have an answer but being him and has lots of answers for all this yeah he does every so often he comes up saying it's passion but basically not everyone knows everything i mean that's just the way it is not everyone knows everything every so often but most people don't know everything and that's totally understandable and so the torah mates program um started you guys learning 13 14 years how long is this bro how old is the tour mates program i don't know what pilgrimage program is um really jason came met joined or um actually through torres spot um concert tell the audience okay so uh uber started a program about 13 years ago in staten island on tuesday nights those are always giving you a class that's the ask the rabbit that the right which morphed into ask the rabbi i missed it was a half half the classes of class half the hours of class and half the hours is the rabbi now it began as a class and the the kickoff was a concert at the college of staten island and jason and jason and marcy uh joined that concert uh attended that concert and then the next week we began to respond in eltonville and jason's been there ever since i mean he's been he joined then and that's how he got to meet each other from that it became you know he can't become knowledge you know what i meant is a font of knowledge and he conveys a tremendous amount of information every week but you can't really become an observant jew by just attending a class once a week you need something you develop a relationship with somebody you need to get a mentor you need to get somebody to lead you through the process and jason lived in my neighborhood and i offered to learn with him on travis where he conscripted him to learn with him on chalice and uh and how has this like impacted your life like the the torah mate having a tour mate like rabbi biederman couldn't ask for anything better is it is it is it something that would you say is just the class or has it spilled over no it's spilled over to so much i mean hashem have several children and they all went through little star and they were in rjj and through learning the turor spot rabbi bieteman all kinds of guidance that gave us a lot of insight into life and how to go navigate so a lot of kind of you know people say hearing about the torah mates um that's a lot of bang for your buck right there it's not just you know the harusa but it's you see clearly you guys are friends you've been learning together for so long there's been so much influence it's spilled over into your lives into your lives of your family i'm assuming you and you guys learn in person right our family is right that's unusual that's right that isn't most remates probably over the phone yes but our families are become friends um they've been touched many many times um you know that's amazing so if you want to kind of get behind people like rabbi beat him in and like jason and and
