Organization for outreach in the world today after he got involved in project inspire and I'm a lot of the families and started going to their homes regulated for Shabbos I wanted to change something in my life and I wanted to raise my children the way that I father's family is raising their children both of my parents had been on trips with Frederick this fine I wonder came home they wanted the family to be more connected since then I love the house and Jewish community and our home became closer by our family is more connected to Judaism definitely products inspired helps Jews connect them all over to their roots project inspires an outstanding organization and they've enabled regular ordinary people to tap into a potential but they just didn't know if they had I don't know where I would be on my Jewish journey without project inspire they've really helped me understand the beauty of being Jewish I find that the more I get involved the more I realize how in common we are the common denominator is Jewish Jewish Jewish and I love working with them and sharing thoughts and ideas and my growth certainly comes from them as well it's not just me inspiring them they're inspiring me I've had a lot of growth since my initial introduction to project inspire I made a yes I'm living in Israel I'm married we have a beautiful daughter that you'll ask there because we project inspire went to showers of friends for Judea Judaism started keeping kosher and the whole family is connected project inspire really has made a tremendous impact on me and my wife and my family and my community as well I'm absolutely grateful raju inspire because it got me moving in the right direction [Music] [Applause] good luck everybody are there any words to be said after this spectacular Shabbos besides Wow for 1,100 people to come together for a Shabbos like this for the 11th annual convention is truly spectacular how can I stand here in front of you without thanking the speakers and presenters that have come from around the world to spend Shabbos together with us from IRA and who completely blew us away Friday night from Yankee sax his airplane ride and who didn't shed a tear when Eric Hirsch spoke to us this morning we even learned a lot about Santa Claus but most importantly as you learned over this Chavez we project inspire all of you in this room and the entire firm community are tasked with finding the other millions of Jews who are not being reached that's our job and while it's a tall order we got a glimpse of all the breakthroughs that are taking place throughout the world women like Robin Morrison and Karen Caplan and this is Enzo buck and Michelle Mandal min and Deena Koerner and Martha Hershkowitz and a vvu dagen and the list goes on I want to thank Stuart and Andrea hypeman who have made this Shabbos as well as everything at project inspired possible [Applause] for the past number of years Isaac and Edie Gross have been the sponsor of the Shabbos project what we call the body and soul retreat how many of you here were at the body and soul retreat this year this shabad project is a worldwide movement that began in South Africa and we are honored to be the host of a spectacular retreat in the New York area this past year over 900 Jews of all affiliations and backgrounds packed the wood cliff leg Hilton including families that were sleeping in RVs in the parking lot just to get a space had this amazing weekend all the people who are wearing the RVs are clapping but I want to relay a story to you that happened just a couple of weeks ago and I hope that Isaac won't charge the stage ready to kill me for this we were in his office discussing the Shabbos project for this coming year and shortly before that Isaac Rose have gotten off the phone with someone who has explained in that in a nearby town which will go unmentioned but really close to home if you're from the New York area there are thousands of Jews they even affiliate themselves with Orthodox jewels and yet he found out that they don't even eat in kosher restaurants and as a tear trickled from his eye he said guys we need to do better we need to do this better we need to do more and so if there's one message we could take from this Shabbos and for all the programs that we're running as if we could feel that pain to be able to shed an honest tear over the state of Claudia's role today we will do better Isaac and Edie we strive to do better and to follow in your footsteps as people who love the Jewish people ladies and gentlemen I share with you a film created of the small memory glimpse into the memories of the Shabbos project body and soul retreat 2019 so we've been here Chavez project at the body and soul retreat and it's been just like one awesome [Music] so the reason we're here today is because observing fairness has reached out to our community that helps to bring anybody that has a Jewish soul to experience what Shabbos is like to learn what makes us Jewish and how we can grow as individuals the body and soul Shabbat project was the first Shabbat song that I've ever been to and it's inspired me to really explore my Judaism and become more connected with it you really realize that all Jews are one and we're all connected in many many ways and it's just a great great experience the Shabbat project every opportunity we have to come here I know will be at its the great opportunity to just reconnect and really get that full Shabbos experience body and soul the shabbat project will change your life forever [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ladies and gentlemen to take us through the next part of this evening's program I introduced to you the founding director of project inspire rabbi hi I'm Samson [Applause] I could've asked to you all and what a Shalvis we had thank you so much to all of you for such a beautiful Shabbos I just want to take a moment just to say a couple of thanks we thank Stuart and Andrea ight Minh Isaac Anita gross all of you but just to mention the wonderful wonderful staff a project inspire who do everything over this weekend with a smile make you look so simple and throughout the year it's the same such an incredible team that I'm so her to work with wonderful friends colleagues and I appreciate to mention Yossi Friedman and Mordecai truck silca Barnett Yakov vinegar yoni zakat in ski Lauren Billa Danielle Haas Miriam Leibowitz turbo Cohen kind of Stengel masa Marcelo Melnick who's here in from Chile working with Argentina and Mexico for project inspire and Robert myosin from Arizona I thank you all you know I don't know if you've had the opportunity to be involved in the midst of shloka can you ever had that opportunity but we know that it's a Saguna it's not or Iraq mm but if you actually did it and I've had the opportunity to do it and the bird is there sitting on the nest with the eggs under it and you take it doesn't move you take a stick and you try to it doesn't move and then you poke it a little bit it feels a little awkward you poke it a little bit and then all of a sudden you poke it enough and it'll flies away and you feel the pain you feel like how can I really do this you take the eggs you moved how can you do it but it's more rare Muraki Minister Guler so the marriage of the Zohar says that when you when you do this activity when you do this Mitzvah that the mala that represents this type of bird comes to a chorus chorus miroku and says don't you feel the pain of the mother bird that you made it leave its nest and then all the Mellark him of all the birds come to a cottage barraco and say don't you feel the pain how can you do such a thing and then a cottage berroco himself turns to his ministering angels and says and what about me but my Shri nur is far from its nest the basin big - and my children are in godless what about me - you feel my pain and that's what we're supposed to feel it's not ora Rahman because when you feel the pain of the mother bird you think of the pain of a cottage for a fool for his children that are not connected to him my Rabia of no acquaintance us - good cash and partial smooth he asked how could it be that we know that Basia bus Poirot she saved motion of Dana's life she went over to the reeds and she took the baby or she said to her I masa and she saved his life and for that she was over to be too cool Moshe Rabbeinu Moshe Mina my omission see who she had that greats curse but a sister Miriam who was standing by and the posit says she was standing by to see what would be we're told in the Madras that because of that she was Okafor the bear Miriam that sustained Claudius rel for all of the years through the mid burn what a much greatest who's that was but how come Basia bus Paris save Moshe Miriam was just standing by so how come she had such a greatest curse says her of know who I wouldn't sell my Rebbe that when Basia bus Poirot saved Moshe Rabbeinu she was thinking of a beautiful little baby that she had rock mmm on she wanted to save him but when Miriam was standing by she knew that her brother was going to be the savior or all of Claudius realm and she was standing by to thinking what is it that I can do to help save all of Claudius Rome and because she had that in mind she was over the tube amp the band Miriam that sustained sustained all of Kali RL and that ladies and gentlemen is our job that's all we've been talking about throughout the Shabbos that's what we're talking about tonight that we're here as brothers and sisters and we have brothers and sisters out there 90% of Crowley Israel that don't have the inspiration of the Torah that we experienced his sharpest and that we know the beauty of the took they don't have it and it's our job it's our responsibility to bring them back and we know they're gonna come back because we have a nerve or that they were in the end of days at the Rambam says that all that the Jewish people will come back when the Jewish went when when we do to ver then Machir who come it's going to happen one way or the other but how we know there are wonderful hear of organizations out there that are doing wonderful work and they're bringing back our brothers and sisters but we know we're not winning the bad to millions and millions of Jews out there not being reached by the killer Wallenberg organizations so what are we to do so my dear friend I think he's in the audience Ruth David Markowitz who's actually one of the founding members of the project inspire team wait years back and helped us get off the ground so thank you David I thank you too and it's now one of the directions of Alamein he told me he went to Eretz Yisroel some years back and he spoke to the dahlias rel and he asked promotion Shapiro we're not winning the battle the Kirra organizations aren't reaching enough people should we what do we do do we give up we're not getting them and he told me that Moshe Shapiro that cell responded like this and he said he didn't know why why did it was it was it something to do with the Heil Hitler something to do with with a Holocaust he didn't he was confused and then wrote that then Moshe Shapiro told him no it's the same Casas converse that we were talking about that Basia bus para but to schlep SR masa she sent out her hand the redder says that she couldn't reach Moshe Rabbeinu but she wanted to save the child so she said it sent out her hand and the matter said it stretched out even though she couldn't save that child a miracle happened and her hand extended and we learned from reversion Sapiro and the men of remember the cost says the same thing that even though it was it was impossible she knew what she had to do it she put in the effort and a cottage borough who did the rest and that's what we have to do what is what is it that we have how do we reach all of Kong Israel the killer organizations are doing wonderful things but it's certainly not enough we have to put in the estar de leurs and if each one of us reaches out to someone that they know we have son of - here take them give them Center each of you know if we all work together with ideas and all the people the whole from community reaches out that's sending our our hand that's what we need to do and if we do it together endeavour OMA Biff Nair Rutzen will do it and better the Shem will see all of closer I'll come back soon and we know that this vision and this passion that you've been hearing throughout this weekend where does it come from it comes from our founding father of Asia Turin project inspire my Rebbe for 26 years or of Noah Weinberg who instilled within all of us all his tell me Tim a sense that we must do it we can do it we should never give up and if we instill that in each other it's gonna happen a college bar oh who will will be my art will be ma or Iraq mmm and he'll bring back his children so without any further ado I'd like to introduce a film that we made a little a little we made that issue bout film which we're showing you a little synopsis of that film now over of Noah Weinberg to tell thank you if one man can kill six million Jews one man can save six million Jews here that is a shot speaking in Asia tour my father was this wild child that just didn't sit down for a moment my grandfather every time used to meet him used to stop him for five seconds to give thanks that's a felon and I got to speak Yiddish his D remember that there is a God my father sitting and muna started to go intense blood he kind of had it drilled into him from an early age and he drilled it into his pal meet him you've got an Amish M loves you well he would teach her what laughter what happiness about friendship love you love your children he used to say to our cutters brother please help us to love your children the way you love each other to him he saw his role to save the Jewish nation he said it many times he wasn't becoming a Shiva of creating leaders that can go out into the world and teach and save the Jewish people people thought oh it's impossible you can't get a person to all of a sudden like Larry Terrell of Mitzvahs went from rabbi two robbers and worship Shiva to receiver he said guys there's a holocaust going on there's people dying on the street like what are we doing about it Sheila the guy's not religious be done so I went and I bless you and I said what happened no one takes secular people I'll show them the beauty of Torah he says no yeah this is surely the bonesy yeah they said of heaven fine introduce of a human need to his fiance will he leave me we leave me he says if you believe that you'll succeed yeah that got a broker he spoke a language which said you can change the world I met Ruth Nora I had never seen her like this before the first thing I heard about was Chloe's Khali's was falling about what are we gonna do bring back the Jewish people all of them now no excuses eventually Lenore found how to break the ice that was the police where were the 48 ways did is it show them that Judaism has something to say about your life and make you a better person [Music] Reb Noah who's every bit the intellectual match for any of the the Harvard or Cambridge professors that I came up against and then some whatever I am and have done that's worthwhile it's equally attributable to him Noah I still remember this quiet moment of North was walking up the steps and the Rebbetzin was walking up the steps alongside him it was a quiet incredible partnership of two people who have transformed the world not only did ruff Noah infuse within us a deep incredible fire but he empowered us to take that fire and do something incredible with it he loved us like a father we became his back his children nor was love hugging in it he was my father and like a father he slept with so many times you are deserters it to me a deserter you know who you are you always go out bring people as far as I'm concerned mm Tommy Tom which my effete as three generations already at war [Music] I've knock was always looking at the big picture how do I create a movement so it was always his dream if he could just awaken the sleeping giant the firm community are the sleeping giant if we can just awaken them they can impact the entire Jewish world you pray to God Jesus who they're simply well what do you say to that I say Almighty I know that you care about this much more than me I know that you want me to succeed I know that if you love me we can change the whole world no you want to help I don't I just have to want it enough please help [Music] to feel this pain away such a welcome to it I do [Music] he was sure that before he dies we're gonna finish the job a few words to my dear father Abba it was it my briefs when our self proclaimed that one person to save more than six million Jews the world in those days as you said was a one-way street pupil would just leave Judaism no one wouldn't be coming back you managed to turn the world into two-way street by connecting people to Judaism and causing people to come back your dream was but turned the world into one-way street the people only come back into Judaism ABBA you will be remembered as a person that caused more than six million Jews to connect to Judaism we cannot count how many people was affected by you in fact it could be the age one of us as in touched of the sixth million Jew that was affected because of him I know ABBA that you gained strength and motivation by seeing how much our enemies worked so hard to destroy the Jewish people and he was always thinking how could we save another Jew another one of our family the Jewish people about you and the email should live a long life you both devoted your lives for the Jewish people thousands of people would wait to hear your advice you build such a huge Empire but that wasn't enough for you you always looked what else could I do how could I touch another Jewish person I've seen personally that your greatest pain was that you felt that you failed in your mission as far as you concerned if there's one Jew that's not connected with his father in heaven then you felt a personal failure as you always said for this we need a very strong army for years you spoke about the sleeping giant us the firm community some of your greatest meetings and the last months of your life that I was there you would speak the great rabbis leaders robe aim and you would always speak out the sleeping giant and how much potential we have to change the world now I'm standing here in this room of so many people that have one thing in mind how could we how could we do more for the Jewish people after such amazing Shabbos and meeting so many people that are taking project inspire and making it a reality I want to tell you Allah the giant is not sleeping anymore [Applause] although the giant is just waking up but he's not sleeping the giant knows today that we have so much work to do and is excited to do it and is dedicated to do it ABBA if I may ask just as you have pray in your life pray for us please pray that we should know as you used to say that sham cares about this much more than us he wants this much more than us he wants us to succeed we should remember Dave he helps us we could change the world we just need to want it enough please ashan help us [Applause] Thank You Hooda nothing happens for nothing the long-awaited biography the gross family edition of the river Weinberg biography has not come out in stores yet however it has been printed and it's actually available out in the lobby today for a pre-order for anyone who would like to order it please see the staff outside you can get a copy of the book as soon as it hits the stores just a few days after Purim you know project inspire we recognize that in order to reach the hundreds of thousands of Jews that need to be reached we have to look and continue to look for cutting edge programs to be able to involve people and we realize that not every program is going to be cookie cut for the people that we want to reach and so the idea came up in the project inspire office that maybe we should figure out a new type of a trip a new type of a way to engage people where maybe it's not so expensive or it's not so much time away from home and so we created a model of three-day retreats we began with a trip to Kentucky in which 50 from and on from men went together to learn and of course to tour the distilleries of Kentucky most of the people don't even remember that they were on the trip together we learnt together we shared life experiences and of course we had a great time together and then the women complained what do you mean you take the men to Kentucky what about us so we planned a trip to Fort Myers Beach and again a group of 50 women half from half not from a ratio that we've learned their project inspire was so powerful for the relationships that are created and we shared three days in which women had a great time did not drink bourbon when parasailing and of course square dancing I kid you not ladies and gentlemen we're trying to push these trips out at a faster pace because we know that we have an opportunity and a responsibility to involve many more people I present to you a synopsis as well as information on the upcoming trip to South Carolina coming up this April for men ladies and gentlemen three-day retreats [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all in three days ladies and gentlemen over Shabbos we heard from international acclaimed lecturers we also had this course of spending Shabbos with her of Hillel David leta who came to spend Shabbos together with us as well as her of Nissen Kaplan shillitoe now many months ago I reached out to a friend of mine who's here tonight review of Goodman and I said to her Bianco how can we get Reuben this accomplished leader to join us at the project inspired convention and so three thousand phone calls later we got revista Kaplan to join us here for Shabbos however as we all know that unfortunately the passing of the Rebbetzin recently gave us some doubt whether with everything going on the receiver would be able to join us I met to receive at to see in my shots to MetLife Stadium and he reassured me that he was going to join us for Shabbos can only imagine what it means to pick up with everything going on in life but there are she even knew how important this is to us and how important it is for the future of Claudia's role to spend Shabbos together with us and so on behalf of all of us in project inspire I want to thank the receiver for joining us and two new cover litera I introduced her of mr. Kaplan's leader Russia Shiva via shivadas Sharon you shall I him to address us choose the hubble name I know I'm coming to a special Shabbos but I never dreamed that it would be even a quarter of what it was and again thank you for everyone I want to start with a little story about my Rebbetzin and from that really to address what I want to speak about tonight the story was in the last three days of her life when her liver was not working anymore was that functioning was it another cancer where kidneys were not working the body was just blowing up with water her lungs were off but she was completely awake and the doctors came to explain to her that there's no more chance that she will live - if she wants to be an arrest Raider or she doesn't want to be in a respirator and legally because she was completely in mind she had to decide so they explained her you for sure will die in 48 hours the most 60 hours we want to know if you want to suffer for a couple more hours or not this is possible again and they had to explain to her very clearly but there's no chance she asked them maybe one out of a billion they told her not one out of a billion they asked if it could be a nest she asked them they said ashame could do everything but we never saw some of our liver that could live because even if you all live you will die again because you don't have a liver anyway we standing around her bed and you know the kids want to dive in but it's very hard to dive in the doctors said very clearly that is nothing left but we are Jewish people we have to dive in and all the kids were together only the kids in the room and we don't know what to do the kids tell me tell us tell us what to do how we could have and how we can have it I thought I want to tell you the Morrises and brokers that have llama venuti can't Phyllis showers and rumbles meet a concealer Shockley's we learned it out from the pursuit of I asked him a flaw Baba Yaga I am old Morris's available base and a middle of Fela and the question is that plastic if you know is talking about the morning-after stone was turned over my ash came along by Boyken he wakes up in the morning and he sees snowing is turned over that is the time that he's met Atkins philosophies is the most an appropiate moment if a rama v knows life that that moment will be the moment of Swedish artists but answer is Hashem thought of Rama V no I'm going to turn over stone why Shem had to tell her from Evita that he's going to turn over stone but to know delusive tomorrow it's enough with all the news of yesterday everyone has to know that slave is going to be turned over the answer is cause I'll tell us he wanted him to davon like I've roamed a van for 50 45 40 30 20 10 I've run babbled a little of Hashem you can't do that so I've robbed ovens he wakes up in the morning he goes over to see nothing is left not even one house not even one tree Hashem so why you watch me mm it didn't help nothing is left and I've run realized that the reason that I chef wanted him mm it doesn't mean because Hashem wants it that something will change he wants your Dominique he wants your song till now a rubber veena thought people diving because they have a churro he realized you diving because Hashem wants you mm he wants you to be close the way wants you to be closest not only by saying to him just by diving so you woke up in the morning and he said from now on every Jewish person will pick up a sitter and he will dive into a sham because Hashem wants to hear him I said kids Hashem didn't give a patch to family call him method family star and not the family threat he gave the Caplan's a patch because he wants to hear this song if the kaplan kids so all of the kids they gave the hands to my wife i was holding in the other side and my wife started to say Masekela Davi Mijares Fela and like this we davon together for an hour and a half and we said it to Hitler then that just came over to me after it and that departed in every day someone dies at least one and he told me we used to people at darvany but tell me that one and a half hour Sunday morning was a different sound we heard like a song what was that happening that was the Dominique that we sang through a sham because Hashem wanted the heroes nominee so first I want just that we'll take this physic and remember every day one without and without in Shockley's because Hashem wants us mm and dad happening he listens this one he loves this one I've Rama vino a real first father was Metallica but I wanted to go to the next step to what we're standing here this special special event a project inspire Hashem wants Glalie soul to come back all of the hidden are Hashem skids he loves us of renewable a c'mon he loves us so much he doesn't need us to bring everyone back he now you're mean believe no my shame my love let him be light so malam I'm not regretting that rewards came leash my aversion but he wants us to do it he gave us the job what we leaving it for him Hashem want he's waiting for us to reach out to everyone he's waiting for every one of us every person in the world he wants us to reach out he gave us the job he's waiting to see if we are reaching through our brothers if we are hugging them if we're accepting them he doesn't need us but he gave us a job and he wants us to do the job and we have to do the job son you he wants us to do the job this what I could achieve all who wants I want to share with you a story I want the ship with you a story that you will understand that every one of us how we

because you're not adopted active I felt a responsibility a little bit to see if everything is right so I decided I was on the top floor I'm going down North airport if you know how Mork looks yeah but I'm going down to the emergency steps you know the back steps to find out if everyone is away ok talk like my night I'm starting to walk down the steps and the middle I hear someone is coming up I

steps I'm shivering if I remember it now I'm shivering and I see in the middle like in the third floor I meet two girls shivering exactly like me from the trip rabbi we're keeping Shabbos for the first time in our life without using the elevator Shabbos morning I want to say in the meaning in our Seth makes sure Shabbos morning we had the challenge and I explained it and what is the challenge why we have to eat Charlaine because it's looking that don't believe intelligible pair believe that you're not allowed to have fire not only not allowed to light fire you're not allowed to have fire running in Shabbos so they ate cold food Chavez day we believe Lisa value the pushing what's called I mean how come him a wheeler in terrible pain that you allow to have fire running you can light the fire so we specially made a kind of food that is called cholent that we have to have it overnight cook and that is the reason we're even by day proving that we had fire so we have to chance and you know everybody got a spoon from a beach onto and it's like this we really introduce them to all of their losses shallow should already were sitting separate I wanted here to come to the point but I want you to understand and I hope you will understand it and not getting it in the wrong way after Shabbos all of these kids wanted to switch numbers with me to keep up with me I knew I'm not ready for that I'm not ready for that I don't have time in my life I don't have the experience how to deal with 75 new boys and girls that became a part of my life so I did not take their numbers and I said Lee binational oh I did exactly what you wanted me to do and I know I can't do more now please you know how to finish the job I'm skipping the story now we went elysee soil I was right away they went

[Applause] Shavua Tov everyone my name is Mordechai Cornfeld I want to thank project inspire for inviting my son Daniel and I to be here for this spectacular Shabbos as a father and for that matter as a parent raising children is not always the easiest thing but a Father's love for his children can carry you through those dark times Hey Shavua Tov I'm Daniel growing up I realized that we all go through a journey each of us on his own path but at the end of the day we are one big family and the only way to keep us together is to accept each other even if the person next to you looks different with a few words in a smile you could change lives thank you for having us tonight the Neil and I composed a new part of this song especially for this weekend which we would like to dedicate to all of you who spread Hashem's love to all of his children and as a father I can only imagine how much a Shem loves all of you who are reaching out to his children [Music] is the clean [Music] they're family [Music] or two [Music] [Applause] [Music] never [Music] yo man no matter where we [Music] thank you thank you roof mati and Donny for coming special and for delivering that powerful message we're not done with surprises from the cornfields maritza Shem over the malapa Malka is a brand new song they'll be performing outside in the lobby you know from this podium we've discussed many many different ways to reach out to our brothers and sisters at Hannah Bernie's felt many ways trips and programs and trips to Israel and young tobin gifts and invites and shahboz him and the list goes on however with all these ideas we still need to be able to identify people in our lives who could use our help in connecting them together skite some of you over Shabbos at least a dozen of you actually realized the signs that were hanging I think one of the presenters actually mentioned it the library and the doctor the lawyer the architect there are so many people in our lives that we can reach out to and so we felt that until we can identify people that we can reach out to we haven't even reached step one and so what better place to set out to ask people to identify less affiliated Jews in their lives then Lakewood New Jersey and so I met people over Shabbos over here one person actually lost probably 50 pounds since last year's project inspired convention and he told me he no longer go shopping anymore so he lost all that weight those of you here last year would get that one so this year we set out to find out if people in Lakewood New Jersey yes in gourmet Glatt on Thursday night I mean seriously will people be able to identify someone one person in their lives who can use their help in connecting them to our Father in Heaven so ladies and gentlemen let's go visit Lakewood New Jersey together on the quest a finding out who's the one the question that most people don't have on their minds who is the one you can get yourself a free bowl of challans and kugel if you answer the

Lakewood New Jersey ladies and gentlemen please let us follow up and help you reach out to someone today without further ado ladies and gentlemen David Cone David there was a lot of applause because everybody knows me actually you don't know me because he'll Oh my name is David Cohen not that David Cohen the other one I I've been asked to come and talk to you guys tonight and it's amazing because I am from a small town in Oregon my parents divorced when I was two and they my mom took us and moved us to the most rural place she could find away from any Jews no Jews anywhere as a matter of fact I was sent I think from Hashem to one of the four corners of the world and that's where I ended up with no friends that were Jewish no shul nobody and I grew up that way I had a grandfather though that was somewhat religious I went down and visiting him a few times one time he pulled me aside and he said when I was about 8 years old he said David I want you to know something this is very important you're a Cohen and I thought that eight years old I thought that's very strange that he would tell me what my last name was but I figured hey I made what do I know so I went with it years later I found out why but at the time nothing I actually had the opportunity as I we were we were flying over here I just got to tell you this one I know I'm off script I'm gonna get a lot of trouble but I swear I'll stand time like everybody else I I we were we were going through the airport in Israel checking through security there was this very strapping young man with this gun and he he asked me where we were going and I said we're gonna go to New York and then he asked me you having weapons and I said do you think I need him and he looked at me said why oh maybe but anyway so about three years ago my son's well I married my wife who was my college sweetheart who was so right with it and at the time I didn't know that a Cohen should marry a Jew I didn't know anybody should marry a Jew I just figured you're married so I married my wife who at the time happened to not be Jewish as far as we knew and then we had four boys and we picked out names for them each of them we picked out a name we looked at him and it wasn't the right name and then another name came to us so we have four boys each of them were named by Hashem and I didn't even know at the time why what was happening you guys know but now I know why we had to pick different names so we have four boys are grown their names are Joshua Daniel Jacob and Zachary five months ago we made aliyah to Israel we live in Suffolk two of my boys are there with us but I'm getting ahead of myself because through a project inspire that's why I'm staying here today three years ago we didn't know what even Shabbat was I didn't know anything I knew because I went to yeshiva Fiddler on the Roof how to speak some tea brew and it goes something like yeah ddddd I'm not really good with my Hebrew but you guys probably know what it is and I knew that it was very very important that we kept traditions unfortunately we had no traditions so we made up our traditions and I'll get to that in a second I swear I won't go too far so my boys were sitting there and they were asking I shared with them you're Jewish or Jewish you need to know you're a Cohen my grandfather told me so I figured they needed to know and they and I said that would you would you guys like to start keeping some Jewish traditions and I thought oh man this is bad groan right and they're not gonna want to do this and they looked at me and said dad yeah we've been waiting what do you do and they looked at me and I was looking at them and they were looking at me and then I realized they think I'm the guy that knows and I don't know so I went online and I found this wonderful site called Asia Torah and I've this is something very important for everybody to understand who for knew when you reach out to somebody that has no experience you know no experiences being a Jew we're terrified that you guys are going to hate us we don't think we think were the outsiders we want so much to be part of this group we in my soul I yearn to be a Jew but I thought you know my grandparents fell away my parents weren't even religious I grew up for 50 some years not doing anything why would you guys want me to be a part of this holy group so when I went on a I thought I look up what you do on Shabbos and all of a sudden a pop-up screen came and there was rabbi broker saying how can I help you I never talked to a Jew before and here's a rabbi that wants to talk to me so I quietly closed my computer walked away you wouldn't know who I was so then the boy said well what'd you find out he saw the computer crashed just nothing no power and and then I I went back the next day and I got up the courage and I decide you know I'm going to talk to the rabbi and so it popped up again and he said what can I do for you and I said rabbi there's so many things I don't even know where to start but my family would like to start keeping Shabbos we don't know how so he said you know what it's very simple just do some easy things get a couple loaves of bread get some wine get it get a cup couple candle holders something to cover your your hollow with gotta remember my wife is not Jewish right but she is because that day I gave her a list and she said you know what up in the Attic is my grandmother's Hope Chest and I think there's stuff in there like that some silver stuff so he went up there and brought it down and there was everything we needed was in there and it was so weird cuz I was like wow this is weird what the coincidence that with this would happen I didn't put two and two together tel years later no actually hasn't been even years but I so we got it we put it out and and my son was looking at the cup and he looks at he goes hey look there's looks like Hebrew on it and I looked at and I said yeah it probably said made in Israel and put it down didn't think anything of it but that was our first Shabbos and it was wonderful so here's where the tradition start we we knew that you're supposed to sing I mean people sing it Shabba supposed to be a fun time right and so I thought what let's let's get a song and so I looked up online and I I know I found a song that we could actually sing and my boy my boys maybe a promise that I wouldn't do this but I'm do it anyway I'm gonna sing for you when you get a chance really you know so here's a song I wrote the lyrics out for everybody and gave it to them at at the table I learned the tomb beforehand and told him just jump in when you're ready and the song goes something like this hey hey yeah but show but shabbat shalom hey i sang in front of all these people yes that's great ok not so bad I'm in big trouble so anyway we we we would dance that every at Shabbos all the time we would dance and we would sing shabbat shalom and we come around and hug now when we found out that my wife had this connection we looked into it and found out that her great-grandmother was a Holocaust survivor we had no idea she had no idea the family kept a secret she she went through everything the horrors of the Holocaust and then fled to the United States and hid away not knowing if it was safe in in Oregon she will say she hid and didn't tell anybody didn't talk to the family about it but they but they and and the family knew that there was there was just something empty there there was nothing there there was a void they wouldn't she wouldn't talk about the family except say that everybody in the family died and so we thought maybe well maybe they were like high-ranking military or something we didn't realize it and later we found out that she was a Holocaust survivor so I contacted like I said rabbi broker got back in touch with him told him how much fun we had and how wonderful Shabbat was we have not mrs. Shabbat dinner since that day that was three years ago thank thank my son's will make sure that I do it every week no we look forward to it but he realized he said you know what you need more than what what I can give you and he recommended that I get hold of project inspire project inspire set me up with a wonderful Torah teacher we learned Burke a vote we learned the poor Torah polish portion we learned we learned from Torah he taught me the how to read so I could do the the prayers in Hebrew and I just want to say that we made as you know what we made aalia's last year 11th five months ago we made all eh spot and it was because of project inspire that I'm here today that we're there and that my family now is part of this great family and we do not feel like we're off by outside

herbes I live in Borough Park Brooklyn I grew up here in the New York vicinity I come from a Ksyusha background kinda obvious Burrell Hashem I could borrow three bench me with a large family children grandchildren great-grandchildren Brian Howard Kirby I learned in local do Shiva I run my own business I have my share time my lifestyle is one that most of the assembled in this room can identify with it was the winter of touch in iodine in 2017 my Haitian style had an inspiration she approached me with the idea that we spent a Shabbos at project inspire she believed that we would enjoy the exceptional inspirational speakers on the roster in general I'm not one that takes pleasure in going away for shavasana but I have heartedly agreed although in retrospect I'm glad I did that year the project inspired convention took place at the Kalahari Kalahari resort sorry Kim pronounced in Pennsylvania it's okay some of you might recollect it was a record breaking low temperature of minus 7 degrees and certainly wasn't a pleasant trip up we joined the Shabbos convention I must admit I had my strong reservations for going and quite to be quite frank Kirov was not for most of my life certain ireri either though I will confess we did have a very elevated meaningful Shabbos on our trip home I was lost in thought I was reviewing the events that transpired during Shabbos my wife broke the silence by suggesting I signed up to learn with someone at that point I realized there would be a total waste not taking the initiative if there's such an inspirational sharpest so the following day I reached out the project inspire and requested to sign up for a learning partner two months past no one contacted me part of me was even relieved shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Project inspire and informed me about a fellow living a written point argon had become somewhat interested in Judaism and they needed a partner for him I thought to myself Myrtle Point Oregon 10 miles off the Pacific coast the other end of the United States probably void of any either sky no luckily has the Kadisha and all probability couldn't accidentally fall into a bad house I began learning with him Pirkei avos finish whatever the current item were ash kapha Emunah olive base in Korea he worked exceptionally hard and massing the ability pronounced letters words phrases and Broca's

rapt in solace until he had tears of joy streaming down his cheeks because he was finally able to recite the first three bars of Shmona SR without a fault I quote I felt like a Shem was embracing my soul I thought to myself this is real dry Cassandra Shem imma ffb how many times that I say those brothers with such dry keys I learned what it means to really davon I also learned a deeper meaning and the words of Zartha Mela an Achilles Allah Kim Lee toid a voice I Buddha Lama I came to teach when them su limit I found myself being taught I realized then and I realized now as I'm standing in front of you that we all have the capability and sharing this marvelous experience there's one prerequisite though it has three parts to it in fact we have two-thirds of the way there a we need to get inspired if there's such a shot miss experience aren't we all inspired be open our hearts for another fellow Jew who is crying out for help right up his neshama I ask you are any of our hearts really not open to help another fellow Jew see willing to share our most precious commodity Hashem Stora divarella Kim crying which is life itself I would like to give a shock by Chakravarthy - I married the
