Oorahthon 2025!

[Music] Heat. Heat. N. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] I'm just curious, how did you guys hear about URA? You have to watch the video. Watch the video to find out. No, we got we got a postcard and it said come to the concerted and that was 15 years ago. [Music] Hi, I'm RC Gutman. My name is David Gutman. My name is Ralay and I go to RJ and I'm 8 years old. My name is Sar Liva and I'm an RJ and I'm 10 years old. My name is Shamal Gman. I'm 13 and I go to RJ. My name is Jakob Gman. I'm in yeshiva. My name is and I go to Staten Island. I'm from Staten Island. Grew up very traditional. After we had gotten married, we weren't religious. To my husband's credit, he was in search. He was in search for the meaning of life. It was his questioning that led us into the right direction, Jewish direction. We received a postcard in the mail and it was a Kaneka concert, you know, the annual Khan concert of URA. We were sitting by the concert, the singers, they touched me cuz my inima was like on fire. And all of a sudden I see all these bakar I'm like get up and start dancing. And like I sat there and I looked like in every direction and I said I don't care if anybody sees me but I'm about to start crying. Like I said God I want boys just like this. Like I don't know what I have to do to get this but like I'm ready. Meanwhile like there's a lot to do to get that. But the concert had a great big sign that said want to tour. My husband sees this and he's like oh my prayers have been answered. Proximics is my original uh my original kabusa that uh Rafaim and Orura set us up and I was soon after learning with Alisa Rohandler. We went to them for Shabbassam and just to see how they conducted their shabas table and you know spoke to their kids. I used to bring home my Korea sheets to my to my mom and dad and I used to help them not help them but I used to like teach them how to read Hebrew. I think it was Shimit Saras like 2008 and we actually walked over to Yeshiva Staten Island. My husband walked in. There's so many men around him just like flocking and asking him like who are you? Where you from? What could we do to help you? He met his shabas Torah mate of 15 years Rabbi Beerman. He just felt the love, the love that like another Yed sees for another Yed. My grandmother is my unofficial Torah mate. At night, usually I go and learn with the Bakar and Shiva on the right over here and we've learned. My moa approached me and said, "Do you want to be my Torah mate?" So, we officially became Torah mates and Mary and I have been learning for 11 years. These are professional learners. These are professional people that know how to serve Hashem the best way possible. Truthfully, this is a mistake. And I wanted to start covering my hair. My husband was a bit nervous. He's like didn't think I owned my religiousness yet. For so many years, I'm going on like the the um of the nosay of him saying like, you know, I don't think you can do it when I'm like, I'm going to prove him wrong. Meanwhile, not too long ago, he told me. I only said it because I knew you would do it. If you're part of URA, you have a lot of family. We're going to Yeah, that's right. We're enjoying the last days of Pesak at UA. I went to the zone for Sukus. It was really fun. You always feel like you're part of like one big huge family. When we would see Kaymen on occasion, he was always so proud that we were achieving and growing as a Jewish family. And he was actually the sandic for our second son, Yakov. And it was really a special moment. This is your little star family, the Gutman's. Wishing everybody a good [Laughter] When I was 3 years old, I went to Little Star and I was one of like seven or eight kids. I went to Little Star. Went to Little Star. I remember lots of things. I remember. I remember um Marisa's mac and cheese. It was the best. I also have one more thing to say about Louis. remember my teacher Mina Moses when my youngest Yoseph Kleim was graduating little star. I wanted a special picture just to hang up in my house of all of my children, you know, and my husband and I standing next to Rafa and men. And I turned to Rabbi M. I said, "Rabbi Mints, you helped us. These are Sorry, I'm going to cry. These are your grandchildren. [Music] This is very well. I can honestly say like when I watch my children and my boys dance on Simka's Torah now like I understand like what I asked Hashem for. It doesn't come like in a second. Anything that's good, you have to work hard for. You have to put in your effort. And I asked for it and I and I got it. [Music] For the last 15 years, URA has been a part of our lives, helping us, guiding us. Whether my husband and I are learning with our Torah mates or our children went through Little Star Jewish preschool, we really would have not grown this far if it wasn't for UR and Raetsz. They held our hand through Judaism. Knowing what Hashem wants from all of us is a is a pathway to uh to finding happiness and finding Hashem. [Music] [Applause] Joyful Friday night at the candle light When we greet the shabas queen, we firmly do a test. In just six days, the world was done. The seventh day was rest. Oh, take a look around you. The scenery is abound. You know that all these wonders are creations of a shed. Camels, goats, and parrots. fish and carrots. In just six days, he made it all the world for me and you share. Hashem commanded us to guard his precious shabas. He's placed it in our trust. So we put down our hammers and our cell phones. Take a break. We spend time with our families. We sanctify this day through Shabas. We will grow strong, elevating us with song. We feel the shest spirit as the sun begins to set. It's our charging station. Our dose of inspiration. The more you get to shove his soul, the more it gives to you. a kid show so grand. The money's tight. Forget your plight. You got to understand. The more you spend, the more you earn. So make everything just right. A joyful Friday night. Oh, take a look around you. of value. Know that all these wonders are creations of our camels, goats, and parrots. Fish and carrots. In just six days, he made it all the world for me and you. [Music] The zone is the place, my home away from home. Smiles always shine and I never feel alone. No, it's not the mountains or the peaks that touch the sky, but the spirit of a child flying high. I watched in amazement again and again. Precious Jewish children coming closer to Hashem. Praying and learning. All while having fun. The journey of my life has just begun. Our spirit you're my soul.

Great. To set the table with my with my family. One day when I was walking so far away from home, I met a little doggy who said, "Shabbat shalom. Shabbat shalom. Shabbat shalom." And all of the children said, "Shabbat shalom." Yay. Amazing. Can you want to pick up the next question? Is it hard for you to share your toys? Yeah. Hard? No. Yes.

That was his joke, but it's true. And URA is still staying at $5. I don't know how they do it with the tariffs and everything. Inflation was still $5. St$ five.

So, the Lakewood Mifter Buffer has won a fiveish squishallow. Okay. And we'll be right back with Fish. Let's take an inside look at some of URA's amazing programs and keep on calling. 7325ish. I'd like to welcome Shim Lieberman. You are the national director of Chillzone. Thank you very much for coming. Tell me Chillzone, what's it all about? So Chillzone is the place to be. We say a party every week. Literally a party every week where the kids come out and learn. They have pizza prizes. They have a great time. The entire chill zone is run by volunteers. Absolutely. What are they called? The volunteers. So we have chief chillers which are um almost like like the local director of each location. They're like the mini cure center rabbis. And then we have head chillers who are either yeshiva buckram or high school girls for the girls programs. And they bring that energy, that camp vibe, that fun. Bring that. Yeah. It sounds like a party. It is. Still waiting for you to join. Okay. So every week during the winter every week during winter chill zone we have chill zone. How many chill zones do you have? Over 80 locations. 80 locations. We're looking to get to incredible. Where? Uh here there and everywhere through the US. Canada. Wow. Uh California. Absolutely. Calabasas. Calabasas. San Antonio. Texas. You probably didn't know there was Jews there. Memphis Tennessee. Providence. Rhode Island. Boston Massachusetts and more. Yeah. And we're working on growing that. Greenland. Not yet. We'd like to get to Greenland. Tell me something that blows your mind about Chilza. We have over a thousand kids, sometimes even 1500 kids showing up to come and learn every single week. And we're not talking about kids who are in the Lakewood. You're talking about kids who are in public school or day school with a very weak background. And this is what they choose as their quoteunquote entertainment to come out and learn. It blows my mind. They could be doing so many other things. You have kids. So, first of all, a lot of these kids, this is the first time they actually learned something, made a braha, benched. Wow. Just by walking in the door, they're growing. But yes, many kids join junior Torah mates. They come to spend summers at their zone. They switch from public schools to yeshivas. And you know, that's part of our chief teller's jobs. They get to know the families. They get to know who's coming and they reach out to them and they try to help them take those next steps, whatever it may be. Give me give me a story. Um, there's actually a kid who's part of a biking competition. Um, and he was a chill zone kid or a chiller as we call him and he's part of a biking competition and uh the big finale of the competition was on Chavez and because he learned about Chavez and attended Chozone, he said, "You know what? I know you're not supposed to uh do this on Chavez and I'm not going to the biking competition." So, uh, and he skipped it. Wow. Wow. Amazing. The children really makes a difference to these kids. Absolutely. Do they connect with URA in any other way? Do they connect with Yiddish in any other way? Absolutely. That's the whole goal. That's the whole point. We uh first we want to get them to join other UR programs because we know there's long-term growth. If you're in a public school and you switch to yeshiva and you come to chill zone, you come to the zone and you take to mates, your parents take to mates, you come to an event, obviously that growth is going to be uh exponential. If you want to volunteer, you want to be a chief chiller, head chiller, your community needs you, cla needs you, please email us chillzonethezone.org work and we'll get right back to you.

This is Aaron's story. Aaron was a boy is a boy who grew up in Manalapin, New Jersey. He was in public school. His parents were not religious. At the age of about seven, eight years old. Um he was going to third grade. He told his parents that he does not want to be in public school anymore. He wants to switch out of public school. He didn't like public school. Whatever the reason, bullying. He didn't feel anything. He didn't feel like he was learning. He didn't feel it was right for him. He wanted to go to yeshiva. They switched him with Ura's help to Shalom Torah Academy in Manalip in Marorrow. And um he was there. He enjoyed it. Shalom is a is a co-ed school. He was there for four years through sixth grade and after that he decided he wanted to go to the next level. He wanted to go to an all boys school. He wanted to keep learning and keep staging and with UR's help bar he switched to Shahition in Holland Park a great school in Holland Park. I happen to know him personally.

So, all you Kinder who called in, thank you so much for being tell your parents, tell your parents to uh to call in. Tell your parents to donate to the URA auction. And um I am receiving I am receiving uh 1877 auction. Call 187777 auction or go to Uractionuction uraction.org. And I'm being told as my phone blows up that the turkey salad at the Kdish in Baltimore is actually pretty pretty good. So very good. A special uh shout out to Yseph Yehuda Benim Newman and Sweet Cranzer of Detroit and Freddy Pinter and everyone else. And good night everyone. Ra Samuels, welcome back to another episode. Thank you so much for joining me here. Thank you for having me. You are the director of the newly minted director of the program. Yes. So, let's start. What isiggers? Tell me about the program. U offers um the program to any boy or girl who's considering going to Eritis for the year after high school. We have many kids who are coming directly from public schools and switching to yeshiva seminary. We saw that a lot of these kids were not necessarily as much as they could have been in. And the styers program is there to change that. Incredible. So you have a program during the summer. Yes. You're it's an intense program. You're working with them. They come out pumped. They come out ready to learn, ready to ready to tackle Israel on their own, so to speak, right? And then they they go there to show. And then where does the connection go from there? When you're sending someone who's a newly minted balchuva or someone with a less affiliated background to Israel, it's very difficult for them to be there's a lot of things that we as people take for granted when we send our sons and daughters to yes that these kids don't have. So, you know, you're talking about Shabas, you're talking about about about family, just being able to, you know, go over to your uncle's house. They don't have from relatives like that. the relatives they do have are not from and are, you know, trying to get them to come for a less than ideal Shabbat. So, it sounds like a challenge. It definitely is a challenge. And what we offer them is as follows. We offer them a Torah mates program, which means we set them up one-on-one with a mentor, with a married either lady or Kyan to learn with an to invite them for Shabas, to have a second home, to be able to feel like they have somewhere that they could, you know, escape when they want to take a break or whatever it is. and they learn once a week over the phone. So the learning is sort of serves as a catalyst to develop a relationship with them. Exactly. You're very good at this sun and shine. I heard some of this stuff before. So yes, the learning serves as a catalyst for them to have a a greater relationship, a long-term relationship. You know, people are inviting them their tomates to theiras or you know, whatever it is. We also have every month of Shabas Chillzone, which there's over 80 locations of chill zone across America. And two of the locations are in Israel. We have one for the boys and one for the girls. This man we learned. We learned paracaba from regular yeshivas bris pragers located in yushim in the base madish. How many guys are in the base mish? We have probably almost 200 boys every week. So you have an army of Torah mates that are all volunteers and an army of chilus that are also volunteers. Who really knows how to do it? It's incredible. Yes. What's motivating these people? Why are they feeling so I mean mat shabas you can't get me to go out. Every yid wants to feel like they're accomplishing and every person wants to feel like they're giving back and they're able to do something. Need every Hashem does need every yid and every needs. It was one of those things that I was like does it's very hard to get clarity. You ask you what he thinks about it. But even when you come back to America and you're landing here, the URA is still here for you. We have our deer program which is based in Lakewood, New Jersey which is a house where we enable our participants who are postikers after their years in Israel. They could come. We have a knacking nighter program. We have shahakis. We have shabbasim in the dra with rab mince coming and joining us. So we're really working on upgrading and fundamentally doing a total overhaul to how we look at our alumni and making sure that we keep them in the fold and keep them striving long term. Okay, Rabbi Samuels, thank you so much. What a joy to get to know you. Thank you for having me. Continued with sounds incredible and I appreciate you for taking the time to find out more about the Stiger program. [Music] Donate now and make your wishes come true. uraction.org [Music] And welcome back everyone to the Uraathon. Special thank you to Rabbi Berish Brody. He will be back with us later. And of course to Fish. Thank you so much for being here. Fish. Uh it's uh my loss. I wasn't able to be on together with Fish, but I always do enjoy past him in the hallway and always do enjoy seeing him. Raoai, it's a very special time of night. I am joined by my co-host for this segment with the one and only Rabbi Avi Schnal. Have you noticed that your tuition has gone down over the last couple years? Have you noticed how much your how much easier it is to live on your uh from salary and pay for everything? Well, with me I have the reason why, the one and only assemblyman for uh the state of New Jersey, Rabbi Avi, who is also a uh beloved volunteer friend of URA. Uh he's one of the founding forces of URA's Chillzone. Uh and after he served as a director of August's New Jersey office, Rabbi Schnel moved into the public arena as a New Jersey assemblyman for the 30th district. I imagine, by the way, the 30th district includes a large from population. And he represents and works on important legislation affecting the Jewish community, including of course that tuition relief that you are feeling. Um perhaps more importantly, he's been a dynamic co-host of the Urathan for seven years. Rabbi Schnal, welcome back. It is great to be back. Another year, another exciting auction. Yes, another very exciting auction this year. Lots of uh lots of wonderful prizes. The URA never never lets us down. They never do. It's better and better every year.

That's what stays the You wish you could uh you could fight inflation the same way Ura fights inflation with that. You have to learn. And did you see those squish mellows by the way? I have a couple of them by the way. You do have a couple squishallows. Where you keeping them? They really He has a couple Squishallows. Rabbi Schnel does. That's right. Uras.

Uh Rabbi uh Rabbi uh Schnel uh one of the most important things that URA does is create controversy and slogans. And this year, URA, as you can see by that is a critical element of As you can see by my beautiful cuff links that I uh received special from URA. I don't know if you guys can zoom in on that. See the see the see the cuff link. You guys got that? Says Hashem needs every id. And if I turn it upside down, it says every id needs Hashem. Right? So, uh that's Hashem needs every Yid, which was a which was a tremendous slogan. And and where do you stand on this? Does or does not Hashem need every Yid? I know that many people have weighed in on this uh different uh our people have written into URA. I know that Rabbi uh Gershin Ribbner discussed it. Really? Yeah. Yeah. What did he have to say on this topic? He he was surprisingly he was pro. Yeah, he was pro. I thought he would be I thought he would be. So there there you have it. Lots of shurim have been given in yeshivas. Mashkim have railed for and pro against this uh thing. And we everybody really wants to know is where do you stand on this matter? They're all waiting with baited breath. They're all waiting with baited breath. The assembly to see what the assemblymen thinks. Does Hashem truly need every? And by the way, they did this great thing with the Uro action. It's not just that Hashem needs every and every needs Hashem, but also but also there's lots of things that need things. So you have, for example, right, uh, every haggana needs a dumpster. Uh, every diet needs a shabas. Every, uh, car needs a driveway. Every yid needs solar, every speech needs an end. Every yeshiva needs a baker. Every yeshiva needs a bakr. Every mifa needs bakim. Uh, every rash mifa needs bakim. Yeah. um, etc., etc. And, uh, and this is, you know, Uras like kind of stumbled on this. They started just with every Yid needs Hashem. Hashem needs every, I'm sorry. And, uh, and then it turned into like, oh my gosh, so many things need so many things. So, it's really fascinating. Take a look at this at this wonderful uh, piece we put together for you regarding every Yid needing Hashem and Hashem needing every Yid. [Music] At times I feel why am I needed? There's so many others besides for me. At times I feel why am I needed? There's so many others besides for me. Hashem needs every ye every Hashem needs every ye. Every year I share it.

[Music] I share in every every welcome back everyone to the Uratan 2025. I'm here with my co-host Rabbi Anal and he has a amazing and special interview with you. Rabbi Schnel, who do you have with us here today? We have with us tonight two very special people that are connected to the zone. We've got Etana who is a Zodiac and also goes to Chillzona and he's joined tonight by his father Matt. They came all the way in from Philadelphia to join us tonight at the Uathon. That is amazing. And and what are you going to tell us about fellas? My experience at the zone. Oh, your experience at the zone. And what is the zone? Tell everybody out there in in Ural land who don't who might not know what the zone is. The zone is an amazing camp where everyone can experience what it's like to be Jewish. Whoa, that is amazing. Before we continue the interview, I want to ask you a quick question. Ethan, how old are you, by the way? About the term bar mitzvah. About to turn bar mitzvah. Very soon, right? So, let's wish a hearty master to Eton and his barit. Eton and his barit. It's about a week or two away. Very soon. How long have you been in the zone? Two years. Three. How many? Two years. Two years in the zone. And is it the most awesome camp ever? It's more than that. It's more than that. Tell me what more. What more? It's more than just a camp. It's more than just a camp. Can you hear that? Why is it more than just a camp? Because besides for being fun, it's also one big family. One big family. Listen to this. Listen to this. Amazing. Ethan, after camp's over, everyone goes home. Does Are you still connected to the zone? Of course. through chill zone and tours. Chillzone. Which chill zone do you go to? Philly chill zone. Philly chill zone. Who runs the Philly chill zone? Josh Alter. Josh Alter. Who? What? Josh Alter. Who else runs the Philly Chill Zone? Is Asha Tess involved in the Philly Chill Zone? Yeah, a little bit. Not so much. No, not anymore. No, he was very involved in the old days. Wow. That's good to know. So, Matt, what do you think about what do you feel about Etan going to the zone for the parents perspective? They love it. You love it. We love it. And if other parents are thinking about sending their children, not sending their children, what would you tell the many people watching and listening online? If I can make suggestion to other parents, to all the parents, it's not easy to have your child go and spend a month or at least a few weeks um outside of home, at least the first time. But uh they should take this leap. They should trust the experience. They should trust the organization because the child will come back transformed in the best positive way I can ever mean to. They will come back so connected, so refreshed and inspired that that summer experience will last them at least a year until the next camp. Wow. Or probably even for a lifetime. It'll be very memorable and um the relationships the the trust that that the child will build in the camp will will be amazing. Uh in our personal experience uh first time Ethan went to the camp was in summer of 2022. When he came back first of all it was very hard to get him into the school mode. He was still in the zone mentality. He was he was in the zone, right? He was in the zone. But uh we have a tradition. We always have Shabas dinner on Friday nights. And um since that day when he came back, our Shabas dinner was never been the same. Wow. All the songs, all the the attitude, the energy that he added to it just just was very sing songs. Hey, you sing all the zone songs? Of course. What's your favorite zone song? That's a tough one. I won't make you sing it online now. People are listening. Maybe give me your favorite zone song. Let's see. What's your favorite zone song? It's hard to pick one. It's hard to pick one. I They do a good job. They do a good job with those zone songs. They do a good job with those songs. I've seen them. True. A talent. A talent. Talented. During the year, Urus sends around a lot of packages and stuff like that. Your family gets some of that things as well. Yeah, of course. We we love it. The Kaneka packages, the Puran packages, the the sukot of course. It's How about a suka? Oh, tell them about the suka experience. Two years ago, a bunch of people from the zone came to build us a suka. Really? Yes. They they brought you a suka. Wow. They and they built it, they made it, they delivered it, the whole thing. Yeah. And you still have it till today? Yeah. So you're you have an suka? Yeah. That's in. How did they know you needed a sucker? He made it happen. I don't know. He made it happen. You told your Torah, mate. Yeah, probably. Unbelievable. Let me ask a question. In this zone, there's so many things going on. There's all the activities and there's all the excitement and you also have encampments. You haven't had a chance to meet him. Yeah. Tell them your experience. Tell them your appointment with Rabbi Mint. You had an appointment with Rabbi Mintz. Really? One-on-one? Yeah. Really? Hey, how do you pull that one off? So, me and my tomate went up to Who's your tomate by? We got to give him a shout out. Arama Garden House. Aba Garden House. Thank you. Garden House at Tormate. Special shout out to him. Wherever he is, I'm sure he's listening to this. I think we I just want to jump in here and tell everyone this is what you're supporting by supporting URA tonight. By being here for URA tonight. Look at that. Look at this. Look at this kid over here. Look at that radiating off his face. Look how inspired. Look how happy he is. Look how happy his dad is. And look, look how look how tremendously involved they are with URA with whether it's Sukus, whether it's the zone, whether it's chillzone. I mean, these guys, they're rocking it. They're rocking. You guys and URA are rocking it together. And it's a beautiful thing to say. And that's what we're here for tonight at uraction.org or 1877 auction. I want to go back to the store with you. Let's hear about this. So I asked him for a braha to help our family keep shabas. Wow. That's very special. So he gave us a braha and now we're on our way on the way. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Eton is absolutely incredible. Eton there a lot of boys I'm sure in your class that like ask you what you're doing in the summer and what their plans are. What do you tell all the kids about coming to the zone? Most boys in my class go to the zone. Really? That's fantastic. There's a few holdouts. You got to get them involved as well, I guess. Yeah. Unbelievable. And your B is in a couple of weeks. You got a suka. And actually, it's he was born on Shabba just right now. His English birthday is on the 26th of May. Absolutely amazing. I I think I'm getting caused already for the kums. It's almost or not yet. We're almost there. So, um, if I may add something to me personally as a parent, I think Kura is important because it touches Jewish souls, hearts and minds everywhere. Um, that otherwise wouldn't be touched. So, people remember their identity. They they remember where they belong because of UA. And that makes him feel very special. It makes him feel that they are part of the family. In my personal experience, I'm not a zodiac. I'm just a parent of a zodiac. But um unfortunately last year I had um death in the family and I had to go to Chicago for a brief period of time. So Rabbi Freriedman who is one of the Torah coordinator here in URA. Sure. He found out about it and within one day he was able to find somebody in Chicago who found the address of my parents and brought me the books so I can keep the laws of Shiva to the tea. So it's not just fun and wild and being very alive. They touch you whether you are in a moment of grief or you are in your happiest peak. They made you feel belonging. They touch you to the core and they feel connected. I feel Ura is the place where people can express themselves freely, can learn about themselves, learn about their tradition, learn about Torah, mitzvah, but at the same time they can discover who they are. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. That really is the secret of Ura that it's more like Etan said, it's more than just a camp. It's not just a camp. The camp is just the beginning. It's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle. And that's the Ura lifestyle in the zone. And obviously this auction, like Alan said before, makes it happen. Makes it happen. And if you go online at uraction.org and you give $5, $10, $100, $500, $5 billion, whatever it is that you can give, you are helping to to do Kiran. Something else you can do and I think now would be a good time to plug that. People say, "Well, what can I do to help Kira?" Well, you can go to Torah mates. You could be a Torah mate. You know that URA arranges kavus little learning in peers. There are over 6,750 Torah mate peers really. Uh now, and if you wanted to go online right now at uh where do you where do you sign up to be a Torah mate? Ura ura.org ura.org ura.org. It's right there. You can become you can become a Torah. No, not really. You can be like like uh there are people like uh that that that that you think you can't be Mashia. You could be Mashia says Rabbi Weinstein. You can connect with someone. You could be a Torah mate. You can give you can be like Raul. Raul married Rabaka. We're in the time of Rabi Akiva. Rahul married Rabaka at the time. He was 40 years old. He didn't learn. She married Rabaka. She sent him to yeshiva. I know someone her name is Goldie and she also she's a very f girl but she marries she's engaged a guy named Joe Joe Joe and she's going to make him she's going to make K on him she's going to be his Torah mate to mates it's all done and we are heading back to the kumitz back to the kumitz with Hery Weinberger great great I have some amazing memories of uh campura last year Actually, I had a I had an event for the staff of Campura. So, I visited the zone and I was speaking actually with Yiad of Shabas. I remember they gave me an address. I think it was a Thursday night and I headed out towards Camp Ura and I'm going on the way in a certain point. Whoever visited or whoever was in the in the camp knows uh at least half of the way is like a small road without any service. I found myself like in a fashiped way somewhere and I arrived to the camp was uh cold. The weather was cold. I come outside of the car in there was a Ber over there was waiting already with a smile. Oh hashi, how are you? I actually remember his name. His name I think. Yeah, his name is Morty Bash. If you watch me, Morty. I'm not sure. I owe you money. I think I have to send you a quick pay. So, uh, message me. I think he has my number. Morty was over there with his golf car. And he took me and he's like I told him I didn't know the race take so long. And and I told him one of the thing that I ran out of gas. I actually tried a middle of the way to get some gas, but all gas station was closed. He says, "Don't worry. Don't worry. Just come in." What about food? Don't worry. Okay. So, I remember the the the I've hear talking a lot about the zone when I was a kid, but I never saw it actually. I arrive, he takes me in, guys. He takes me into something they call a restaurant. I'm like, what? You have a restaurant in camp? Yeah. Call me. What? What do you What's your order? And I'm like, I like schnitle. Schnitzle sandwich. What do you like pickles to make? Just make it. I'm like, wow. What? And I see these boys and I see the hospitality, the midas and then about the gas. He takes me up to a gas station. They have a gas station in the zone. He fills me up my I was mamaish mammish amazed. But one of the most memorable moments of that night is they they taught me a song and I want to sing the song. So we have all the boys come in, make yourselves comfortable. We're going to sing it together. And I think I I think afterwards I thought that we should do that song in Yiddish as well because for instance I speak Yiddish and I'm sure that a lot of people that are watching out there their Yiddish their first language is Yiddish.

This is crazy. Watch this. When When does my clock start right now? It started already. So tonight, we're here in light of this tremendous tragedy and I was a bit torn about being here tonight and then I remembered I realized when somebody passes away, we say a special. The reason we say that is when somebody ye passes away, there's less alus in this world. And I realized there is no organization in the world that brings more kus into this world than they do so much. And we are here tonight. We are bringing more kus in this world. These that passed away these horrific tragedy. Let's all go ahead. Let's support Ura. Let's buy those tickets and let's vote for me. No, he used it as a plug. 30 seconds. Thank you. Thank you. Yes.

How it's played is we have over here on the floor next to me some different exciting unique objects that you can see. That doesn't look each round. Don't worry, I'll pull it out of the bag. You'll be able to see what it is. Don't worry. In each round, I'm going to present the unique object. Each of our contestants will have one card in front of them. Four of the contestants cards will say on it, bluff, which means they're going to try to convince you of what this object is, and they have no clue what they're talking about for a change. Now, one of the contestants, one of the contestants will have the exact description of the item on their card, and they will also try to convince you that they're telling the truth. Here's where the audience at home comes in. You will have a chance at uraction.org to vote for who you think is telling the truth. And now we get to introduce our incredible, incredible contestants.

And last but certainly not least, we have with us David Stanton. David, what's up? Could I just say for a second that Oh, you already had your British accent. He's going to sound like he knows everything from your gating your esoteric coitations and articulating your superficial and psychological observations. You have to be aware of platitudinous ponderosity. We have to let you evaporation went to war with the English. Yes. Okay. Thank you. We appreciate all the work you've done for translating for art scroll. All those hard words. I'm going to be giving each person. Keep the card. Keep the card. Keep the card. Here you go. Keep the card. Keep the card. Don't look. You can show. You can show. Here you go. There are all the cards right there. And right now, I'm going to reveal the item. I'm going to reveal the item over here. This is the item. The audience can see what's going on over here. Okay. I'm going to show it to the participants, to our contestants over here. You're going to see the item. And again, make sure nobody else sees your card. You're going to have about less than 60 seconds to tell us what it is. I'll give you the item while you're describing it. That'll be your chance. And then we're going to open the polls online. Okay. Okay. You could see you could look over here. It even comes apart. I'm going to pass it to Bar Powitz. You're going to have 45 seconds to describe what this object is. Some really long words here. Okay. So, this here is an ancient Chinese tool used for acupuncture. It's called a I'm not even going to pronounce that word. This is what they use to poke people in different parts of their body to make them feel better. Okay. Sit. Not even going to read it. Thank you. If you think that Bar Perloitz is telling the truth, you could vote for him right now at uraction.org. Maybe he was so believable you don't need to hear everybody else. You could vote for him at uraction.org. Okay, here you go, Byam. All right, so I happen to know what this is cuz I use this in my line of work. I work in a Kasen Hall. I'm not sure if you guys know who I am, but I work in a Kasen Hall. And this is a tool we actually use on a weekly basis. Um the candles that the that the parents walk down with, we have like glass containers and we put candles in them. Sometimes it's a long ka the candles melt down. It's very hard to get them out. That's when this comes into play. We have this, we stick this in, goes into the candle and then we pull it up and it comes out as easy as pie. So what's it called? What's it called? It's called the candle remover. Wow. Okay. And if you think Vyamin is telling the truth, you could vote for him at uraction.org. It's your turn. Let's pass. We use this. We use this all the time. Okay. Actually, this object here is really cool because it reminds me of my oldest sister Kayadasa Tanab from Prospect Park. She had a really little trouble. She I should mention that every shout out we charge our contestants $5. So, just keep it We're keeping a tally back. Okay. Yes. When my mother was expecting her, she was at a stroll and she was on a scaffold and it started raining and everyone wanted to be under the scaffold and they ended up pushing her. She fell off the scaffold and right into a massive jar of pickles. Okay, so if she they they took a while to get my mother out of pickle. She loves pickles now. She just can't stop eating pickles. But if she wanted to eat pickles, she would use this piece right here because she would be able to pluck the pickles with this special pickle plucker that she can lower in, pick a pickle out, and then Sounds sounds good. Okay, if you think telling the truth, you can go to uro auction.org. You guys are just a bunch of malarkey, which is the name of the game. This is what we call a wiener checker. A wiener checker for your barbecues, right? It test the what it is. It tests the heat, the exact temperature of the wieners, otherwise known as hot dogs. And it has a slip over here for you to put your hand in to keep your hands away from the fire. over here. You just prong it into the wieners, hot dogs, it works for hamburgers as well. Again, wiener checker available at Amazon or other um other sites for only $12.99. The wiener checker. Okay. Thank you. And last but not least, David, what do you think this item is? I don't think I know for a fact what this is cuz it was actually made by a from Manchester, England. Okay. And he was a person who had seven children. And the biggest hazard he had going on in the household is that they would constantly touch the outlets. And suffice to say, he invented a very, very cool toy. You plug it in there and then it's like a mini basketball hoop. It's missing the other part, by the way. There's a little ball, a beautiful green ball, and you can find on Amazon for I think about $124. Really? No. No. I'm exaggerating the price. It's a very well, but but it's a child-friendly item. I don't I'll be honest with you, I don't exactly know the exact name, but I believe it's called Kosha Basketball, childfriendly outlet plug. etc. Okay, thank you so much. You can leave the item on the table. Now, audience, it's your turn to vote. uraction.org. We're going to see those votes coming in. Who is going to be the winner of our first round? The winger check. Let's see. Let's see the Let's see them coming in. It's the It's the hot dog. Let's see it coming in. Listen, if it's missing the green piece, then it's obviously not that big. Okay. Oh, who is winning? Oh, we're going to close the polls very soon. We're going to close it very soon. Close it up. Close it up. And we're going to close it. What color am I? In three, two. One. Okay. The audience has selected Barak Powitz. Yes. As the winner. Bar, why don't you show us your card? He was bluffing. So far have won the first round. But let's see who was telling the truth. Chriser, that is right. And do you know why? Do you know why? Do you know why the pickle picker is the perfect item to use in a contestant game show tonight? Of course. Because if someone submits their tickets and wins for prize number 43, the Simka package, they want to enhance, maybe they want a pickle board, maybe however they want to enhance their next SIMA, they're able to do that and use their pickle picker at their next SIMA. So make sure 1877 auction. That's 1877 auction or uraction.org. You can enter for prize number 43, $14,000 to enhance your Simka package. Okay, guys. What do we think? We're ready for round two. He's buying votes. Ready for round two? Ready for round two? Okay. He's buying votes. Okay, let's get He's g stuff like that. You know what? We'll get the cards back over here. Where do we go with this and the pickle picker? I I want that. I want that. We'll see you later, pickle picker. Checker. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Acuper. Okay, so I'm going I have all the cards right here. Somebody vote. I have all the cards right here. Okay. And we're going to do it like this this time. Wait a second. Wait a second. Okay. I wasn't. Nice. Give him an inch to take a mile. You know what can I say? Okay. Are you ready to see the next object? This time start from that side. I should start from the other side. Give me some more time to come up with something. Give me enough time for seeing the You're in the middle, buddy. You got either way for seeing the object. It could be all at the same time. Okay. This is our next object. This is our next unique item. I know. Okay. This is Victoria. As you could see it over here. I'm going to show it to the audience. You can see we need a panoramic camera over here. I think to see what's going on. You can see the intricacies exactly exactly how it looks. I'm showing it to our contestants in about 30 seconds. We're going to start. I think it's fair to start with David Stanton. Yeah, it makes sense. And everyone's gonna have a chance to explain Start with me what this item is. Well, you won the last round. So, you know, we're trying to make it. Here you go, David. Okay, we're going to put 45 seconds on the clock. You could tell us exactly what you think or what you know. Careful. Careful. You don't want the audience to see this. Let us know what it is. This was actually invented as a joke. Somebody made it in honor of a purin party. There was a birthday and the gentleman whose birthday it was um he hold on a second. He Yeah. The gentleman whose birthday party it was, he was a big fan of massive salami. And they designed a beautiful um thing that you put the salami in there and you hold it and they would walk the salami around the sim. And yeah, I don't know. It was made as a joke. It's not the most uh innovative tool. I've thought of better, but needless to say, that's what it is. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Yakov, what do you think this object is? It's not what I think. It's what I know what it says over here in my card. This is what we call the Siamese Chihuahua leash. And this is invented by pet lovers. Pet lover. Um, and as you can see here, there are the places for both heads to go in. Siamese Chihuahua leash. And that's it. And obviously it's pink because it's I guess it's for female styamese Chihuahua. Chihuahua or Chihuahua, whatever. And that's You know what a Chihuahua is, right? That's the song Chihuahua, right? Oh my goodness. Chihuahua. We all know I read it. It's a cute little dog. I mean, it's even cuter with two heads. But again, that's so cute. Well, if you think you think that our contestants are telling the truth, you could vote for them. There's a right over here. There's a right here. for them at uraction.org. We're going to keep moving on in this round. Remember, you can vote right now. The lines are open. uraction.org. Yes. What do you think this object is? So, this object right here obviously has to do with one of the prizes. Mhm. But without knowing that has one do with one of the prizes, I recognize this object because my company, we mine natural diamonds. We have a mine in South Africa that just opened up. The miners were down in the mine when all of a sudden there was a massive flood and no one could get to figure out where the miners were. But the only thing that fit down there was a really, really small animal, smaller than a chihuahua. Smaller even than a salami. The only thing that fit, believe it or not, Rabbi say, was a chicken. An actual chicken. So, they actually invented this specific harness and 6T matching leash for this multi-million dollar diamond mine chicken that they lowered down slowly into the mine and it fit exactly through. Okay, we got 5 seconds. We got 5 seconds. And it fit exactly in and actually saved close to 100 miners. That's the mining story with it. This This is the most important part. The chicken and his beautiful harness. Okay. If you think is telling the truth, you can vote for him at ura aauction.org. We have two more quick answers. All right. So, I happen to know what this is. This they give you on airplanes. Um I don't know if anybody saw the ad recently. I was recently did a airplane ad for URA and one of these were on board because the airplane that I was supposed to go on which I missed was also used for skydiving. Now, this is item that they use for skydiving. If you go really, really high up and you're on the way down, once the parachute opens, sometimes like the climate makes you thirsty. So, you keep this around your hand and you keep a water bottle in here while you're scary diving. On the way down, if you get not before the parachute opens cuz then you just have to pay attention, right? Once the parachute opens and you're taking a nice descent down into Lakewood, you have this and you drink from the water bottle and it stays attached to you. Doesn't fall down and hit anybody on the head. Got it. Okay. What's it called? What is this called? This is called the sky dyer battle. Sky. Okay. And last but not least, but it's not being sold anywhere. It's la last. It's professional equipment. Last but not least, we have Bar Poets. Remember Uractionuction.org to send in your votes. It's from Japan. This is true story over here. When I was a little kid, my parents took me to the aquarium and while they were looking at one exhibit, they obviously lost track of me. They started searching way before Cavarium's days and they found me swimming in the dolphin enclosure. And after that, every time they went out with me, well, it wasn't this one. There was this very very wellto-do uh person over there that saw that and he panicked and he invented for his daughter who her name was Yasito. She was Japanese. Yasito. Yeah. Something like that. Puncture done to her. Yeah. Really? He invented this harness made special when you take kids to aquariums for little kids, females, and it's meant when you take them that they can never get past the exhibit that you're at. And if they do jump in, you can just yank them right out. Yank them right out. Okay. Thank you, Bar. Okay, now audience, it is your turn. You could vote right now for our contestants. Who do you think is telling the truth? Who do you think is telling the truth? And while you're voting for your contestant, you can also buy tickets at 1877 auction. That's 1877 auction or at ura auction.org when you're voting right now. We're going to leave the lines open for about 10 more seconds. The votes are flooding in. Who do we think will be selected as the winner? Who do we think will be selected as the winner? Okay. Okay. And we are going to close the lines in three, two, it's closed. Okay. And the winner is Yako Burger. You are correct. Thank you, Yako. Thank you very much. Now, show us your card. Amazing what he is. You are 100% incorrect. But thank you for Okay. And who was telling the truth? I told you to vote for me. Oh, they don't believe you. And do you know why? Do you know what this really is? A chicken harness. And you're going to tell me, "Yakob, you're not giving out a chicken harness in the auction." That's right. We're not giving out a chicken harness, but if you get prize number eight, this is perfect for your pet monkey. Yes. This is perfect to walk around with your pet monkey. And uh it has a little bow on it. And you know, if you really want us, if if it ends up being a boy monkey, we could take care of it afterwards. But this is perfect for your pet monkey. Okay. Can be my pet. We got our cards back. That's not going to fit me. Just make sure you again next round. So far, I got the winning card both round. Next round going to have guaranteed win. I always get the bluff card. Okay. Okay. Let me just This is very Okay, we're going to pass these out. We're going to pass these out. We're going to pass these out. Here we go. Just take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. Good. Okay. Okay. Okay. And we're going to show the object. The object is right over here. Here we go. I'm showing it up close for the audience. Here we go. I'm showing it to our contestants over here. Here we go. Here we go. I'm showing you everything. Okay, we're going to start in about 5 seconds. We're going to start from Bar Powette. He's going to tell us exactly what he knows this object is. Okay, are you ready? Ready. Let's get it going. What do you think this object is? Well, not what I think, what I know. Finally, I finally got the actual card. The worst thing that could happen, well, not the worst thing, but we've all experienced this numerous times a day. You're driving, you look at your phone by a red light, even that's questionable. And all of a sudden, your phone falls right between the seat. And the rest of your drive, you're doing this. When you have big hands, you're like, you can never get it through. And then your phone starts ringing. You see, it's your boss, your wife, your kids that calling you. You can't answer. You can't figure out what's going on. So this here, it has a hole for the seat belt to go in. This is called a between seat gap filler that you put between the seats that your phone should not be able to fall in. You put it between the seat, the seat belt thingy comes through here and you're like and and you're good. No more phones falling in. Wow. Okay. If you think Barak is telling the truth, you could vote for him right now at ura aauction.org. You could vote for him right now at ura aauction.org. Speed speed. All right. So, this is actually meant for keys. If you want to keep your keys safe, you put your keys in here. They can't. The audience can't really see it, but it's magnetic over here. Once you put your keys in here, this closes with the magnetic things and it keeps the keys in here. Now, instead of having to, if you have like big pockets, instead of having to reach down all the way deep into the pockets to get the keys, you just stick this in here. And every time you want the keys, you just take this out. It's really meant for keys. They have a chip. Like, you mean that? Not for car keys. And you just take this thing and you put it by the door. And I mean, all the doors over here have chips. Can you Can you put a credit card in there? No. You could do tap or No, just keys. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And then when you're ready, when you want to take the keys out, you just see this thing over here? Just press and the magnets release and the keys come out. It's actually Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. Let's go to our next contestant. What do you think this is? In the kitchen. What do you think this is? Or what do you know this is? What I know about this? Let me just finish reading the instructions. So, for those of you who don't know, I am also a member that it's a member. There's nobody that doesn't know that. And I also love the rain. I do love the rain, but not everybody loves the rain like me. Okay? Because a lot of people in Lakewood have a sump pump which pumps the water out of their basements and it could sometimes happen that the sump pump dies or there's too much rain and you need something to clog it up. Okay. Also, also also before I tell you what this is, it could also be used to stop a draft. So, what you do is you put a a sandbag attached to this area right here and then you stick it right up against the door. It is impossible for water to get through. Literally impossible. And also, if there's a draft, like my back door has a little like leakage in it, you can put it right down there. It will never blow again. Wow. Okay. If you think is telling the truth, uraction.org. You can vote for him at uraction.org. You know what they say, the longer the description, the longer the bluff. This is very simply called the steering wheel extender protector, and it's made to stick your wrist over here. Many times people find themselves when they're driving, they have a knack to turn the wheel all the way, let's say, to the right. What this does is over here, there's a place over here where you can stick your hand in, right? And you put it on your right. Typically, steering wheel on the left, the left you're from, right? Exactly. England. This is made by American production company. In England, they have it for the other hand. At any rate, you put your hand inside over here. And if you find yourselves turning the wheel too much to the right, then it reminds you and it stops just enough to let you know, don't turn the wheel all the way. Again, the steering wheel extender protector available on Amazon for only $15.99. Okay, so first of all, everyone's answers were very, very close. Okay, that's number one. And what I'll tell you is this. Bulos was the closest. It is to do with the car and it is correlated with somewhat of the seat belt, but it's not for phones cuz there's no mechanism to hold it in place. it will still fall through. So, needless to say, needless to say, it's very straightforward. It's for people that, you know, especially children that don't feel seat belts are comfortable. You put your seat belt through and it's an extra padding on the chest. It's really that straightforward. Okay, audience, thank you to our contestants for this round. Now, audience, it is your turn to vote. Who you think is telling the truth? Who do you think is telling the truth? You could vote right now. uraction.org. That's uro aauctionuction.org. You can vote and say who you think is telling the truth. And we're going to be closing the lines. We're going to be closing the voting. Come on, guys. In five. Four. Three. They rigged it. Two. They rigged it. Come on. Well, this is the least I got to be. This is the least close. Oh, the votes are still coming in. Oh, they're just David, you're taking my votes. Like you know when you press on the curig and like the coffee comes out and then it just like the last little bit comes in, you know? Oh god. Come on. Okay, so now the now now it's closed and the audience voted for Bar Perlowitz. Yes. That means Bar won the round. Good for him. The question is, I told you I was saying the truth. He was telling the truth. Yes. Good job to the audience. Now this that's exactly what this is. This is perfect for you put it around the seat belt thing. You will never drop anything. I can tell you this happened to me personally when I one time won prize number one. $25,000 cash from the auction and it fell in between the seats. You're busy trying to get your $25,000 cash. That's not something you're going to want to be doing. Also, one time my wife won prize number nine, the classic jewels. She had this whole She I know. She had this whole diamond necklace. You know, it's in between the seats. You can't get it. You want to make sure you have the stop gap. And you at home, you want to make sure that you're entering. We got prizes. We're We're giving out our our first car very, very soon. 1877 auction. That's 1877 auction. Uraction.org. And we're beginning taking a break and be back very soon. Welcome, Rabbi Hobberman. Thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk a little bit about what I do at URA. I am fortunate to be responsible for uh the Torah Mates program. What level of Kira professionalism of past experience does a person need to be able to help out somebody and learn Tyra with them once a week? Zero. We are looking for people who are quote unquote regular benetra men and women. Once the partners come together, they become friends. They form a personal relationship and that is where the growth in Yiddishkai comes from. Now I'm going to give you some examples. 47year-old participant this year, first time keeping Pesak. All thanks to the warm beautiful way that my mentor presented Judaism. Incredible. Here's another example. It's amazing how I thought I was going to do something fun joining to during co and it ended up completely changing my life. This is a young lady who came in completely secular became shame shabas started keeping conscious and married a Jewish boy. Wow. How does that work together with so many of the other programs that URA has with this zone camp with the events with the tuition program? What we want our coordinators to do and what we want our mentors to do is to get to know the family. If there are children in the family, then they can benefit from UR's other programs events. Also, we want to encourage our Torah mates to come to the Ura events, to come for a Shabas, come for a Yamu. For many of these people, it's going to be the possibly the first time to participate in an authentic Shabas and Yumpt experience. Do they give them any material? Do they help them figure out what to learn? How do they tell me give me some background on some of the support that they give some of the things? Okay, very good. Thank you for asking that because that's a is in fact a very important part of our program. Right from the beginning, it's the coordinator's responsibility to help the Torah mates choose a topic and choose a safer over the course of a year. We send out hundreds if not thousands of to our Torah mates. Amazing. So there's no barriers. Become a Torah mate. Sign up to be a Torah mate. Your coordinator will get to know who you are, your personality, match you up with somebody that makes sense for you, send you the materials, make sure that you're learning, support the partnership. Is there anything you don't [Music] do? That's a You know what? That's really a great question because there is actually something that we have not done till recently and now we are doing very often since we are in many cases the the primary point of contact or sometimes the only point of contact that our participants have with the with the from world. They come to us with all types of various different issues and they're not plugged in to so much of the organizations that we are so used to taking advantage of medical referrals help with for with with a g help with uh references for various different other types of resources educational education types of questions also you always try to help people there's no such thing as somebody asking us something and us telling them, "Sorry, not our job. We don't do that. Can't help you." No such thing. We always try to help, but we now have somebody on staff whose job it is to help with the things that quote unquote that we don't do. Amazing. Ry Herman, thank you very much. Really appreciate you spending time with us. Thank you very much. Associate director of Torates Sunshine. Finally, finally.

You could see it over here. I'm going to show it to our contestants. Here we go. You could see it exactly how it works. Okay. Okay. And we're going to start with we're going to give you 40 seconds. 45 seconds will be generous. And you can tell us exactly what you think this is. Okay. So, I don't even need 45 seconds. This is something that everybody literally everybody knows. Originally, it was used uh for people to spritz themselves to make sure they're awake when they were having a really difficult dream. But actually, that's not what it says on the card. So, we're going to just stick mostly to the script. And what we're going to talk about is what this was what this was actually used for in more modern times is when you have a diamond wheel. There's a lot of diamond dust on the wheel and sometimes you have to clean off that dust. So you just go ship ship. Next thing you know it clean. Okay. Okay. If you think is telling the truth, you could vote for him at uraction.org. You could vote for him at uraction.org. Okay. David, what do you think? It's missing the batteries. That's number one. Okay. Um, but for those of you that know, sold separately. Yeah, it's a kid-friendly toy. Um, instead of using like, you know, the regular sparklers, which you light up and it goes and it makes the whole lot sparkle. It's one of those things that they could play. It's a toy at night. And it also has a projection beam inside where you could see it make nice little glittery stuff on the ceiling. Mhm. It's called the Oh, it says what it's called. Okay. Thank you. We all know what this is. We all have lights in our house. And let me just demonstrate. When your light is dusty, you would go up. You could undust it with this. It has its bristles. No, no, no, no, no. The point of this is that we never we never have to use that. The point of this is that people at normal height, not twin towers over there, we use this to clean a uh light bulbs, chandeliers, skylights, like right on top of us. Kas, right, to put out the candles. It's called a chandelier cleaner. And that's what this does. Open it up, clean it, bring it back down. Okay. Okay. Thank you. If you think Barak is telling the truth, you can vote for him at uraction.org. reason for the tool, you know. Yes. All right. The yman. So, I think actually you saw my card cuz he he got part of the answer right. This has to do with lights, but it's not really to clean it. This is actually if you want to change the light bulb, you use something like this. Sometimes they use it by my house, the ceilings are not so high, but seeing my shield, they use it. We have high ceilings over there. They stand on two tables. They take this, they open it up like that, and then they close it around the bulb. And then they turn around and get this and they they loosen the bulb. Turn the piece around. They actually turn around themselves and both. Okay. I'm just putting they slowly loosen. Yeah. Something like that. Mhm. Whoa. Do the whole pokey. Okay. And then they slowly 5 seconds left. Loosen it down. Put the bulb down. And then they put the next bulb in just like that. Thank you. Okay. And yes, Yakob. Yak. So, we all love the summer. We all love the summer. What I know that my girls don't love about this armor is the critters, the spiders, the bugs. Daddy, they're in the basement. So, obviously the kids, they are not going to kill those spiders or what I call jumpies. We get them around the springtime as well. That's why it's a special extender for this what's called the critter catcher. Catches insects of various um leg sizes, various species and whatnot. My critter catcher.

Elon was a chill zone. He used to go to Chillzone for a while. He went for a number of years. Got close with his head chillers Josh and Morty. And he eventually they decided to tell him there's a great camp to go to in the summer. He decided to go to camp. He went to the zone. And in the zone he was extremely inspired. He loved it. Eventually he brought his other friends with him. He brought Elon and a bunch of other kids from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and they had 18 or 20 kids in the zone for the summer. Eventually, the the his the people in camp that were with him, they gave him a tremendous amount of and he loved it. They ended up starting a nighter program that's still running today on Zoom with a bunch of kids for 20 minutes a night. They have a number of different programs running at the same at the same time and they they just continue to grow from this. The last thing that happened was almost over a little bit more than a year ago. One of the there was a tragedy in the community and in order to remember one of the friends mother passed away and in order to remember that they decided to start a fillin chat. What's a Twillin chat? Every day all the boys that put on fillin they take a picture of themselves they take a selfie and they post it and it it started with two kids and now it's up to 18 20 kids right now and growing and they brought along Lev who is one of the main people one of the main kids who really keep it going and I want to bring them up on stage right now. Come on Eli. [Applause] Ian the mic. Okay, turn on the mic. So Elon, thank you for coming. Yeah. So tell us about this. You are putting on fill in. You're doing it every day. Tell me how does this the how does the chat help you to inspire you and other people to put on fill in?

Would you tell them to get involved? And how would they do that? It's very important to put on to fill in every day. It's like one thing like not the one thing, but it's the I would say the easiest thing that you could do every day to get you closer closer to God. So it's a good thing to do. Okay. Amazing.

Go right now to uraction.org and let's talk Rabbi Schnel. Let's tell people about the different prizes we have this year. We have the Simkha package. The cost of SIMKAS is ever um ever ever going higher. I know there's a big AIFA in Muny recently to try and bring down the cost of Simhkas. Lots of people were giving their ideas at how the cost of SIMAS could be brought down. And one of the ideas that was given was put $5 in the Aura auction and see if you can win a SIMA flat package which will give you $14,000 towards your next Simka which in Lakewood way to paying for the new that could cover the whole thing. I think the Oh, the new Sim whole wedding for you. Very good. We got the home makeover. you want to makeover your home and and and and do it. Uh $10,000 value, rent and mortgage, $2,000 a month for 6 months, of course. $36,000 in cash. And then we got the uh we got them. Yeah. $36,000 in cash. Uh home makeover would include an exterminator if if uh if you needed one. You could do whatever you want with it. If you have bugs infesting your your tables or something like that like we have here at the urathon, we have a little someone has inflicted makas kenan right here. Every dollar goes to goes to the kiraov. Nothing for nothing else. That's right. That's right. For the kirv. I love how they advertise it. They have the monkey. Yeah. The monkey. The prize. The monkey. Guess how they guess how they explain it. It's $5,000 for the monkey of your choice. You're getting as if like as if like you there's like a variety of monkeys to choose from and you're like, "Well, I kind of want that kind of monkey and you get $5,000 for the monkey of your choice." By the way, for $5,000, how much does a monkey go for? I have no idea. It's like towards the monkey of your choice. Like, how much does the monkey actually cost? I would imagine $5,000 you get a uh one of those monkeys they experiment on, you know, they like um we have yearly cash. URA will drop off, Rabbi Weinstein personally will drop off $1,000 at your door every year for the next 10 years. Wow. And the way that um the way that the inflation is going in year number 10,000, it can be too much. You could get like a half price deli beam. You can get a gym tour. That's where they they they bring a priceless No, I think that that's the difference. The gadm tour is the tour. You can tour the they take you to two free tickets, I think it is. And then while you're there, you get to I thought they actually not tour but tour. They have the gadeum come here and tour. No, no, no, no. That happens all the time. Actually, that happens all the time. I think that's happening again very shortly. But in addition to that, another prize is $35,000 towards your own safe. Own safe. So someone is dreaming about dedicating or writing or having their own safe, right? $35,000, which is incredible. Yeah. My prizes that I that I always like, I like the $25,000 cash and the $36,000 cash. There's always the cuz I figure like with the $36,000 cash, you could get uh probably six, seven monkeys with that prize. 25 a Toyota Sienna, $2,000 uh $32,000 value. And the very instrument interesting um this this has the potential to be the biggest money maker. And that is the instant $50,000. You win 100 times your donation up to $50,000. So, if you donate $500 and your ticket gets pulled out, you win $50,000. And we have had multiple $50,000 winners here at URA. Yeah. If you want to see what it looks like when Rabbi Weinstein has a heart attack, when we pick out those 50,000, we also have the torture prize, I call it, which is where you get a choice. When you choose one of the envelopes, you will either win $5, $50, $500, $5,000, $50,000, or $5 million. Not really. Not really. Not the five million. I think we cap out of 50,00 five to think. And that is like that is like I always felt like they should they should do a minimum. Yeah. Don't give the guy fiveucks. Five bucks. That's And you wake the guy up to that the guy that wins the wake him up and you say like and you may win five bucks. You may win $5. But But people have won big, have they? Yeah, people have won 500. Like 5,000 ever won 50,000. I 50,000 prize. Oh, that was the one year we gave away $50,000 to two separate people. That was a remember. That was the same guy. One guy got $100,000, right? No. No. One year a guy got $100,000. No, that we stopped that prize. We stopped that prize. $100,000 prize. They won the bonus. I remember one year a guy in Lakewood walked away with 100,000. Yeah, I remember that year everybody at URO was eating peanut butter for peanut butter sandwiches for a year. That was it. So they stopped doing that based on the things. So those are clearly and that's why we have the the mites, the clover mites. So anyways, we are giving out $650,000 worth of prizes and any one of those prizes could be yours for only $5 if you go online at uroction.org or777 auction. And now ladies and gentlemen, you're into you're in for a special treat. Prepare to be inspired. Harava Rafim means uh we are going to have the privilege of hearing words of directly from URA's founder and spiritual leader. Rafim of course is responsible for UR's entire existence from back in the day. Rafim wasn't uh really starting organizations. He was just himself going doortodoor knocking on doors and helping trying to convince Jewish parents to send their children to yeshiva. And though obviously URA has grown tremendously since those days, Rabim is still intimately involved in every aspect of the organization. And one program he's perhaps most known for is Ask the Rabbi, which every Tuesday night they have in um online and it's it's really from Staten Island. It's a live stream and they um you can ask your elements all sorts of questions, questions that come from all walks of life from different people and he's able to explain them. Uh it's actually there are two editions uh in book form of Ask the Rabbi with years of all those insightful questions and answers on Ashkafa and Jewish practice published in one easy to read text which is available at your local Jewish bookstore. And of course, we we encourage your listeners to check out the full archive of Ask the Rabbi clips on YouTube if you have YouTube. And you can send in your questions at any time to ask the rabbi.org. And tune in weekly at ura.org at I believe 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays for Ask the Rabbi. And now we turn to Rabbi Mintz for a powerful and timely messages. Good to all. I hope everybody a very uplifting enjoyable shabas and all all have also having a very enjoyable mu shabas listening to the uh auction. I'd like to uh say some words of uh good reason why to help financially uh we do great work with the money that we receive come from and uplifts it we say in every day that the benefit and the greatness of man over animals is nothing cuz everything in the world is worthless. Whatever you might have more than an animal but since it's worthless so you go back like being an animal person has like an animal again hands and feet eyes and nose person has things better than animals but we said but worthless so it's like you don't have it. So like an animal. What makes a person not like an animal? If they have Torah person has Torah. So that makes them not an animal don't have Torah. And what makes us human beings and worth living worth being created because we have the Torah to learn and mit to perform and that makes us into human beings. So with that we understand cuz I'll say we have a person who teaches his sons Torah the teacher to a person's to some person who has a child to teach the son of somebody else it's as if he himself gave birth to that person he was not biologically he's not a son but he teaches him to if he gave birth to him so it's understandable Because before a person has to like an animal. What makes a person into a human being? By teaching Torah. So he take took him out from being an animal into a human being. By teaching him Torah because everything else in the world is is worthless. Person not going to take with him when he dies. He takes only Torah with him. Only mit. So therefore we have to realize by we are having children that we don't realize not biological children but we have made children through the uh observance and the study of Torah because make them into human beings take them and make them into a human being. So therefore kill the other if you gave birth to him because that's the main birth of a person is not the animalistic part but his spiritual part. So therefore uh we have to realize how great it is to help the ura which would take so many children and they're lost in the Judaism and they're lost in their life. They have no direction to follow and once they get involved with study of Torah and they have they have a proper teaching people to teach them to guide them in Torah they become human beings by that and it all takes money funding it doesn't come for nothing. So we hope everybody will be very generous and realize what a great cause they're supporting and by doing this we're getting a lot of adults and children to study Torah. will make them into human beings not animals are human beings and that is the great merit of all you helping have a good everybody and everything you do except everything you do that Hashem wants you to do and we hope that it will be a very happy week and successful week and all good things should happen we are back here at at the URA studios continuing the Uathon and we're about to start our next segment and every year URA always finds exciting topics, things that are relevant, things to discuss, things we can learn from URA and maybe bring it back to our lives. And this year, like all other years, we're are we are getting ready for a very exciting conversation with two veteran mankes on Ura. And we call this segment bringing Gishmak home. Oh wow. Bringing Gishmak home. And I'm not exactly sure what that means. You bring Gishmak home. It sounds good. Where do you get the gishmach from? Where do you bring it from? How do you bring it to your home? The whole idea. But before we get into it, let's first introduce our new panel. Not new panelists, but people that are new to the program tonight that are joining us. Rabbi Yur Kleman is a veteran man whose affiliation with Ur goes back to its earliest days when he was ministades of experience as a rebih made him the perfect candidate to help get Ura's groundbreaking Torah nuggets curriculum for zodiacs. Wur has his own curriculum called Torah nuggets for zodiacs. Incredible Schillers and Tormes off the ground. He is quite familiar with the zone's approach to kin as his wife Rebbitson Lifshaw is the beloved catmother in the girls camp and the chief chiller of chill zones Brooklyn girls location. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you so much. I actually toan be before you were broadcasting in the Urusan. I was actually the first person on radio speaking for 40 years ago. Wow. By the very very first URA auction, there was an UR auction 40 years ago, there was something was not quite like this, but down the road from the yeshiva, there was a radio station and every Matz shabas, there was this fellow Duran had a radio program and he invited me to come down and speak about Ura and it went down in history. When I finally came to give the phone number to call in and I said to call 800 u u r a h was just 800 o my kids still make fun of it till this day. Well that's very very wonderful to have you here and of course do shuran legendary kabber niggan of zahina of course one of my favorites. Also with us is of course Harav David Engel. He's a renowned educator and lecturer who travels extensively developing and advising Makanim across the country as director of leadership development at the consortium of Jewish day schools. He left a legacy of leadership behind him in Toronto where he served as Manahal of the Toronto until moving to Lakewood a couple of years ago. As a contributor to the ATE round table, Rabbi Engel's well-rounded approach to Kinn has a wide following. A longtime volunteer of Uras who has joined us at many events over the years, he officially joined the zone girl division as Manahel last summer. With all his credentials and decades of experience, perhaps the most interesting title Rabbi Engel holds is father of quads. Canura Kain Yerbu. Okay, Rabbi Engel, welcome to the Urathan. Thank you so much. Great to be here. So, tell us a little bit. We're talking about this uh idea of bringing Gishmak home. Can you tell us, Rabbi Angel, what what does that mean exactly and what are we trying to tell all the people out there about URA and maybe what they can do in their own homes? I have to tell I've been to um several Yam Manura and um the way they do Yamu, the way they do Shabas is legendary and the kids just come there and they they can't get enough. And their favorite time, I could tell you in camp, I was there last summer, the favorite time of of week was Shabas. They love Shabas. They love coming. They love being in the dining room. They love the energy. They love Davening Cabo Shabas by the lake. They love doing all these things that really, really inspire them. Can I ask a question about that? Cuz that would seem to me like one of the big challenges that you have. I mean, we're talking about kids who come from homes where they are probably very wired in. They're wired into electronics, to media. And it's interesting to me, how does URO deal with that? You take kids who and now it's a whole day of chabas and there's no media you there's no there's no entertainment quite in the classic sense. How does URA deal with that um in the zone? So um all I could say is it's very real. Everything the Ur does is very real and these girls and these boys that have kind of empty lives as we know with all the technology and everything and they see the way the staff from top to bottom mints comes to camp on Shabas and he gives a class at 1:30 in the morning and the place is packed and people can't get enough and the girls that come to the first Shabas Suda wearing their jeans or wearing their skirts and then two weeks weeks later they want to dress sneeze dick. How does that happen? It's really it's real. That's what it is. And the way that it's it's given over with an excitement. They infuse the whole camp with excitement and they're always looking for new sticklook, new things they could do. And it's just an incredible experience to be there. I didn't know what I was going to do sitting in the dining room with 700 girls singing, but it was unbelievable. Really unbelievable. And I I can't wait to go back this year. Unbel it really truly is. I' I've I was in the zone for a couple of summers and you see kids come in totally unaffiliated and they leave and they this is what they want. This is really what they want. But you know, you know my car maybe you can help us out a little bit over here. You know that kids come to camp and the Ura does a lot of stuff during the week as well. Shabas you know Shabas is the highlight but there's a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. what's happening in Ura that continues that through the week that also we can maybe try to figure out some of the secret ingredien
