our programs and of course the CEO of Asia Toro by Steven Berg who spent Shabbos with us thank you but tonight having stayed up till 2:30 in the morning having run class to class in session to session we go in a little bit of a journey together and that journey is through the projects and programs the project inspire as well as you here in the audience have helped run together with us throughout the entire year we're going to be seeing many films tonight in fact as a schedule set a special presentation of a brand new comedy film which is going to hit home to many of us in fact I believe that every one of us here in the room will be able to identify ourselves as one of the characters in this film so stay tuned we all know it's been spoken about Riley spoke about it Friday night the worldwide Shabbos project which takes place every year around pasha snow off marshes la flaca and so graciously sponsored in in the Brooklyn Flatbush community by size dignity growth and this year we had a little bit of a spin on the Shabbos project because before we decided what exactly it was we were going to bring to the Brooklyn community this this Shabbos project we actually went to ask your kids yes your children who were in camps the project inspire team and I want to before I even start the first film of tonight want to give a shout out to get Ormond and big productions who are responsible for all the films that you will see tonight we did an amazing job it was amazing to spend time in camp a gooda and camp bug enough and camp Tosh bar and we spent a few few hours there in each camp interviewing your children about what it is that we can inspire you every one of you in this room about for this Shabbos progr and so for film number one for tonight it's your kid speaking about project inspire and the Shabbos project sparked is something that happened or that you see that makes a big impression when you see someone doing something really nice really kind and you look at them and have that feeling in your heart like wow I want to do that too it's a word that gives you feeling and you can really feel it's like a bomb that goes inside you and then it explodes onto the ass to be inspired to be in awe of something and make it want to become a part of you my grandfather inspired every time I see my grandfather I want to be like it aspires me is when people do mythos and then they have stories to tell that tell me how to live my life I get inspired when I see my dad helping either juice my rugby intosh bar because he said when whenever I need something I could come to him I really get inspired by the way that a Jewish person is very kind to other people very caring and thinks about other people it's been like time with my family my school Friday night walks with my friends and like we just go out talk about everything gonna happen that week you got together with the whole family don't family's home is they'll distraction sit down and talk about your week I like the food there we go perfect hummus is really good challenge nothing better than challenge mirus every single person who's only different key it just blend it together so my favorite part about Chavez would have to be the ability to disconnect from the world Chavez you see people but there's something to it that you just through know [Music] yes nobody says it better than our own children cholent and so the Shabbos project was to get a huge success in Brooklyn thanks to rob a leaf and to his community who hosted us [Applause] there's a lot that we're gonna see about project inspire tonight there's a lot that you've already seen and heard about and we can't hear enough because every one of us in this room have so much more that we can do however it was all it is all due to one person's fire and desire to watch all all of us in this room join this movement day in and day out Robert hi I'm Sam sin is on the phone involving partners from around the world we had a woman today speak from Arizona who came here to inspire us all about what she's doing in our community there aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish what we have to a project inspire and somehow are by haim Sampson finds the time ladies and gentlemen it's my pleasure and honor to introduce to you Robert hi I'm Sampson [Applause] leave that alone first of all I want to thank all of you for coming would a Shabbos were the kiddush kiddush Hashem because of you I thank you all I also want to thank my staff project inspire staff unbelievable team of people Yossi Friedman simcha Barnett's would've hydro Jakov Guinea ger Daniele pass the whole staff everybody there's so many people from that are involved and they're all amazing and wonderful and work together I'm lit with mysterious nephesh it's unbelievable I remember one time I was walking with my Rebbe sort of no qualms hugs at Sal in Manhattan and whatever reason have a hard time and I was speaking it out getting off my chest and he looked at me and he says hi in and he was a big man and he looked at me and he shouted at me he says kind you're crazy why did you think if things don't go quite the way you want that Hashem doesn't love you anymore he loves you with an infinite love it's just not going the way you wanted it to go but he loves you it made an impression you know sometimes we have a hard time when things don't go our way sometimes there's a concept even in the Torah and the Amish that sometimes it seems that Hashem is angry with us how do you reconcile that with an infinite being who loves us with an infinite love every moment how do you reconcile and he gets angry you know he's an angry god of the Old Testament how do you understand it so there's a beautiful piece that rook 'krsna writes in his tremendous book TD roads on the Jewish attitude to suffering and he explains that a parent wants to give tremendous resources to his child whom he loves so dearly he wants to give him everything good every all the physical bounties all the pleasures of this world and all the spiritual classes he just wants to have him he wants him to be glowing but unfortunately his son will take his money and use it on drugs he's addicted to the drugs so the father feels frustrated really wants to give him so much but he can't because his child is squandering everything says rob Kerzner in the neighbor of kind of reclined vulajin that that feeling of frustration that the father has that's what we mean that's what the Torah means that Shem was angry it means that a Kurdish burro who has such love for us but he's hurting inside he wants to give us so much good and we're squandering it and he has to put the money into a painful rehabilitation program which is painful for his child but not what he wants but he has to do it so he will end up with the blessings there's a scary navoo in the high school it was a lady who asked me early actually says you know I don't understand all the Hebrew so is it possible to say it in English speakers so I'm going to say it in English from your high school 20th perek chapter 31 says you guys cool for that which comes into your mind shall never be that which you say let us be like the nations like the families of other lands serving wood and stone as I live says hashem with a mighty hand and an outstretched armed without pouring pouring fury I will be king over you I was shall bring you out of the lands into which you were scattered with a mighty hand and outstretched arm and with outpoured fury it's an amazing prophecy that your high school says that in the end of days the Jewish people will say we don't want to be Jews we want to be like the nations around us and the Shem says that's gonna happen and I'll feel angry what does that mean it means I'll feel frustrated I want to give you all the blessings I want you to have everything good the Jewish people but we as a people are squandering it we don't want it we don't want that all the blessings to be a part of the nation the Jewish people would rather plight be the less like the nations of the world were worshiping wooden stone that's who we are and the SEM says you know one I'm gonna have to use the the rehabilitation painful rehabilitation plan I don't want to do it but I have to do it but that prophecy doesn't have to happen because the negative prophecies don't have to come true and it's totally up to us and just like the addicts can come off his addiction so we - as a people can change all of that if we but decide everybody here today we can change you - we can bring back our brothers and sisters we can do it but you might say but wait a second connor-san just do it doesn't he run the world he could just do it and you might even claim look at them if you those who know the Mishnah in the end of soldier that describes the innocent the machine her the birth pants of Mercia and it brings a whole list of flowers that's good that are gonna happen and it goes through them and it says that there'll be hood spur and there'll be heresy in the government's nobody can rebuke anyone any more fear of sin is despised truth is lacking youth put they're meant to shame son spurn their fathers the face of the generation is like the face of the dog and that but then it says at the end a famous line something that we sing ain't none well meaner he shot Anil of Venus shoot-'em-up sugar sure Mayan but we we only have we have our father that we can rely on what we don't know what we can do anymore but we have a shame so doesn't it say in the Mishnah that we could just rely on a sham he'll bring us all back so Sarah Malkin and vast moon in Kovas my Amorim and that the name of the bar nefesh a lion he says that when you go through the close to all these terrible things when it says and who can you rely on a Vina Bertram I am our Father in Heaven he says that's the worst of the koalas that's the worst of the curses how can it be he says because people who are year 8 hates who fear sin will say just leave it up to a Shem he'll take care of it and says reply in vulajin that's the worst of the terrible things that will happen in the end of days that live people like ourselves will say we then after hashem will take care of it and ladies and gentle isn't there a part of us that feels that way we had a great showers exciting it's inspiring it's great I loved it maybe I'll come but you know what bottom line is we go back Hashem will take care of it says revival Odom that's the worst of the curses says reliable ocean you think that way and there's somebody in front of you and you don't do anything because you rely on a college miracle you're a murderer Hashem is dying to give to us he's frustrated he's a father who has infinite love for all of us and he's waiting for us to make a little difference and we just have to take that seriously and we come out of this and it's inspiring and it's good it's everything we have to do something just something something small all do it if everybody in this room did something small or even something big but at least something small and just to mention there are so many people in this room who have done something big the incredible people that are here what they've done and the organization that been spawned from coming to these conventions from so many different people in so many ways it's unbelievable and again I thank you all but let's go away let's do something you have on your seats a very simple thing you have three ways that you can reach out for Purim three ways give a shot of Manos to somebody who never had before you know what happens when you get a shot off - the person gives you enough - they come out of the door you chased a name on off you put somebody else's name but I don't know how this comments the pace out do I why not give one or two or three or five to someone who may never have received before they're sitting out there we make beautiful little shot of - with a card educational user friendly card which we put together and six dollars it's you can't buy a card these days for six dollars it's that it's out there everybody take one two three five do it simple or in number to invite someone to your a Purim shooter just make sure to kiddush Hashem maybe invite them at night but just invite sounds so simple or number three we'll send you some videos of some of the people you saw here of Purim little videos of little Purim insights inspirational senators and people you'll see on the on the fly as outed very simple try it try your own but there's much more we go we've seen over the weekend che inspire so many people so many people amongst yourselves who've got involved in their communities in in in all over New York New Jersey Toronto we're trying to expand it nationwide so many people that have done changing their communities it's incredible get involved in that too we want to show you now it's a little bit of what we've done in the communities around North America with James buyer I thank you all please I beg you let's take away the car enough the anger the frustration that Hashem has it's allow him to give all the blessing all it takes is just to go way to maintain the commandment to say you know we're gonna we're not going to just let this be an a momentary high and a great experience that we had we're gonna go little mud almond our Slough says we're going to do something do something on Purim do something to you in the year let's together allow the Almighty to give so since I got involved about four years ago Jan spire has really just exploded in terms of growth and the impact that we've been having on people with constant programming that has really had done an incredible job of bringing from a non from people together Jane spire has partnered with Jay WRP to take women to Israel and it's really it's a transformative trip for these women and they come back so inspired from it the beauty of G inspire it doesn't stop at the trick it's only the beginning without an end we've had a variety of programming over the last number of years and we started doing a monthly class in David Moss's house with wine and wisdom a lot of these ladies learn about Shabbos they learn about the beauty of Torah they learn about the beauty of raising their children in a Jewish lifestyle about all the beautiful things that Dead Judaism has to offer about our Torah he moves on to do interactive learning sessions where once a month people come here and we have Caruso learning from a non Froman and we're trying to get the caboose of herrings to start learning on their own once a week that there's a constant learning that's going on for the it creates friendships that lead to a community that fosters growth that everyone feels like oh it's not just me that is trying to make myself a better person have all these friends that I've made that are really doing the same thing I was leading to people coming better people and better Druze they get together they put on the toilet we'd opt with them we say Shema and we sit down and we learn a piece of Torah who they're about Shabbos we learnt about about Shema we learnt about to fill in we recently began observing Shabbos on Friday nights you know completely it's really enriched or enriched our lives in our relationship Jen's five branches in Brooklyn in New Jersey in Muncie Toronto they're really expanding their reach and the transpire as a whole is really starting to branch out all across the country the impact that we're having is real it's significant and we're actually starting to see change [Music] [Applause] [Music] ladies and gentlemen in the film you saw probably only Zagat in ski and the Brooklyn division the Brooklyn branch MJ inspire there are 15 families in Brooklyn alone who have become shomer Shabbos families due to the Jade's by a branch just in the last four years this is a movement that's besides for the Jewish pride that's besides for preventing their children from intermarriage there that's besides for them putting their children into Jewish schools and Jewish camps and have roses etc it's really having an impact and before we introduced to you the Toronto branch of June spire which has begun flourishing on your seats you have a card where you can sign up to be involved specifically in the James fire communities and there are staff that are available that are giving pens out and while you watch this Toronto version of the film and all the amazing impact that we're having in Toronto please feel free to sign up I'm one of the cards that are on your chairs to get involved in the J inspired branches in your area or of course to start a James buy a branch in your area in Toronto project inspire Jane spire has partnered with many shools in many communities out in Toronto along with our Bates V Center who you heard from over Shabbos and his shul in the village shul and many of the H branches there as well as the entire community it has really come together to bring mutual inspiration of from and non from people together ladies and gentlemen I introduce to you Jane spire Toronto in Toronto J inspired works together with existing cure organizations to create ablution programs and learning programs Jane spire really gets the the from people to get involved and learn with the non affiliate or not less affiliated we have hundreds of people learning every week which is really creating a real movement at least in Toronto [Music] we have over a hundred people a year from Toronto are going to Israel and we have lay people as city leaders as those people who are mentoring the broader community I can honestly say that I learned more from being on that trip with people who were seeing you guys for the first time seeing people starting and listening and learning and smiling as they were learning and like oh my gosh that makes sense it's not just about the learning it's about relating to each other and realizing we can learn from each other and we can grow together to be able to bring all of those people together is going to have an effect on the entire city it becomes a catalyst so that you start with one you then get ten and then you get 100 and everybody wants to get in on it [Music] I'm proud to be involved in Jane's fire because I see the impact that it's making in our lives personally in the lives of our kids and I see the growth that it's that it's creating in the community as well whether they're religious or not religious everyone is growing and being inspired and it's just amazing it's an amazing organization to be part of when you create relationships between Jews of different backgrounds that is centered around Torah values then you're gonna be creating unity Octus you're going to be creating people who are growing together communities are growing together and and that was the idea I think how about starting this type of program every person can experience what we've experienced grow like we've grown take all the opportunities that we've been given I feel really blessed and lucky that we've been given these opportunities to be involved and that's just my wish for everyone that they get to connect and feel the same way that we do [Music] [Applause] good evening everybody a good father it's a little overwhelming to be here my name is Jean Stephens formerly from Brooklyn New York I currently live in Woodmere and I want to thank everybody for the opportunity here I'm sorry I couldn't be here for Shabbos but I just made the trip with my wife Susan who was here somewhere so I just want to share some thoughts and some my experiences it's a very emotional little emotional to be here it's something I could speak to for four hours at a time so to speak and such you know in front of such a group like this it's it's a little bit a little intimidating but I gotta do my best I first want to share a little bit about my background I was born and raised in Brighton Beach Brooklyn to a very secular Jewish family my father being a real Brooklyn Knight whose whose grandparents were born in Brooklyn meaning my great-grandparents were from Brooklyn my mother on the other hand was a more recent immigrant coming here before the before the war as a young child from the Ukraine after my father passed away when I was a teenager and not knowing what I wanted to do I joined the New York City Police Department I had a pretty good career but you talk about a Jew feeling like a fish out of water that's really what you feel like I worked with some great people and had exciting career but really being in the epitome of the Gallo world where anti-semitic comments and jokes were made to my face because people assumed I wasn't Jewish I heard it all but put them in that place to their shock because while not from I was very proud of my heritage like the old saying goes you try to forget that you're a Jew they'll always be a Gentile to remind you of that my wife Susan being the only daughter of a Holocaust survivor and being a very creative person was in search of a spirituality in all the wrong places for a very long time she's a graduate of graduate of MIT with a degree in business and fashion traveled the world but was pretty much completely disconnected from any type of observant Judaism a view of Judaism was that it was based on oppression and fear never truly understanding who I am is having had only a public school education and focusing on the Arts she thought I Shem was what was depicted in churches throughout the world he was a beautiful Yiddish a girl who was living in Greenwich Village with tied dyed hair I'm sorry Susan I'm just sharing some it's giving you some background the daughter of a man who survived the horrors of the Nazis in Poland while eating bark off of trees and potato peels out of garbage cans to survive I stand here this evening in really disbelief and being quite emotional at how far we have both come to have grown together from the secular world and our organizations such as this one has Jay inspire has inspired us and changed and shaped our family's lives [Applause] we think back to the many beautiful shahboz have spent at different families homes throughout various communities and will completely floored by what we have seen and observed your cool going back a number of years ago and both of us taking lawfully being so nervous we both take off of work I remember clearly we both take off on Fridays just to get prepared to go to different people's homes for Shabbos and I used to tell my wife Susan we would like the Shabbos gypsies and I really want to say something to you that many of you probably already know there was nothing more powerful than than all of our Shabbos tables the impact it has is just it's just undescribable especially coming from a place where I've come from really having really no background my wife having very little background if not for the dedication support and hard work of all of you here tonight we would never have known what we were missing by showing us the beauty of living a Torah life we have been inspired ever since we are blessed with children who have been and we have been empowered to give over everything we now know but didn't have his children and young adults to see my children and some of the financial shiva's today it's just it's it's surreal - my wife and I I myself have been to Israel with Jay and spire I've been to Poland with Jay inspire my wife and I we tea we teach disconnected and unaffiliated Jews on a weekly basis [Applause] I'm at Valium volatilize etiquette in ski and the black box breakfast and just seeing seeing these seeing these holiness shamans putting on tefillin and saying the Shema it's it's really quite an experience I really I really urge all of you to try to attend and see what goes on at these events it's really something that you'll you'll you'll thank me for coming to I'm not going to take too much more your time like I mentioned in the beginning we have a responsibility all of us to reaching out to the thousands and thousands of disconnected unaffiliated Jews out there it is not their fault that they weren't born and raised in a Torah home or Torah environment these Jews don't want such difficult questions answered right away they just want to feel accepted and have and have your rom thrown around their shoulders and for you to say come with me I'm going to show you and teach you what you want to see and what you want to learn if my family can do it and we could open our homes and teach how much more so and all of you have an impact on the disconnected Jews that are out there we are literally together saving lives and saving the Shamas make no mistake about it so I really just want to say thank you really from the bottom of our hearts I'll speak for my wife for everything you do and continue to do like I mentioned trust me you are saving lives so thank you and thank you for listening and thank you for having me it's a tremendous cover for me to be here thank you [Applause] [Music] talk about everybody else she's nearly overwhelming and just being here in the presence of so many people dedicated to spreading you describe it's humbling and inspiring so I would like to dedicate the following to all those people in this room outside of the room that are out there igniting the showers all around [Music] and I can I said well uh yeah [Applause] I mean uh hell of a Viking has dead and yeah [Music] I mean da da [Music] Misha now car [Music] ha [Music] Wow [Music] ah everyone join me that he died [Music] Oh [Music] together [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] Thank You Jean thank you a ton beautiful inspiring we'll be gone the amazing programs that we've put together annually everyone knows and they're one of the staple project inspired programs throughout the year has been the annual Tish above film in this past year the tisha buff film took on a new twist myself together with the project inspire staff and big productions we traveled around to feature four amazing women three you all knew about and one might have come as a surprise but the response to the film was overwhelming women were inspired by it the amount of calls that we've gotten from women around the world to watch this film over a hundred thousand people around the world watch this film and borrow cash a my offices have been flooded with calls specifically women as it was targeting women as well as the men who would not admit to have watched the film and this year's Toshiba film we featured four women which as I said took on a different twist Nora Hashem was super success when I want to share with you coming home a feature film a trailer of that of that film and the reason I show it to you is because all women that are here today will be able to receive a free copy of that film on your way out ladies and gentlemen for our next film production for tonight the trailer of this past tisha boast film coming home she believed in everybody no matter what their level of the other skype was and she encouraged us to love everybody I definitely felt as I was speaking died that any was she's seeing the huge potential that I had she was bringing it out in me I just felt it Sancho versus or those very exciting because three like between 80 and 120 people coming for the meals every type of person you could imagine the door was open to just anyone my mom used to say that every Jew has a spark take that spark and make believe that the person is that whole spark [Music] there was little things that she always knew how to be kind and good and understanding she would recharge by being with people by speaking she would always say you must accomplish something every single day one kind word one piece of knowledge just saying one thing to another do a little little spark could ignite and become a flame [Music] you know we were hiding the fact that we were Jewish I remember on Fridays sometimes my grandmother would light candles we couldn't understand why she was doing this we were completely secular my sister she would always slide light the candles she was moral to eat she was always aware of the holidays and one day she calls me up and she says hey there's a trip to Israel [Music] a man and he knew that he he was asking me constantly questions to keep me in your guests conscious he said we don't want you to panic but the wheel of the box is still on top of you we can't get you out so when she woke up sigh I was able to be by her bed she got to see the best of Kali straw like she's in a hospital bed he wasn't really exposed to to a lot of religious people before and and this is what she seems like you know that someone's coming people are taking care of her all the time had this peace in my heart I was grateful that I'm alive I knew I knew her she was with me I wanted to say thank you [Music] [Applause] once again ladies you can receive a free copy on your way out of this program this evening over Shabbos we had the great source of spending spending time with some good eylem Andrew bunim from around the world however sometimes were abundant will stand up and they will give physic about project inspire and they'll tell everyone to get involved in project inspire but other times that are abundant that don't just stand up and tell us to get involved but they really get involved themselves from OSHA to via leaf sleet the rub we know is the a good Avenue well as I mentioned before hosted the Shabbos project for project inspire to the past bunch of years however rabbi leaf has been active in project inspired projects in the community in Brooklyn community and wherever we ask our belief to join us it was recently at a Shabbos project actually last year where thousands of people were crammed into the shul to get a little more inspiration and her relief always reminds me that as much as the non for people are getting inspired by project inspire it's the firm people that are getting involved themselves that are strengthening their own you this kite and are enhancing their lives I'm a leaf called me over and he said anyone who doesn't see how this is impacting Flatbush just doesn't understand Flatbush and so it's migrated covered to introduce a goggle a rough and someone who has physically been involved in every aspect of project inspire it's my great cover to introduce to you or of emotion to beliefs theta archival AI Roberto of Moon Koch was young Reber he

Shem Tov told him go ferocious Shana deep into the woods get there before yump if you're gonna found in our mana with orphan children spend Rosh Hashanah with them you'll meet a Leo one-nothing he

can continue to bring a kid of Shem to the world one of the the new upcoming stars if I may say in both the speaking circuit Rob honest and ask honest in the firm community Israel by y'all gold many of you know reveal Gold's from his films from his amazing films but this is the first project inspire event there are by gold and in minutes of shed many more to come has joined us for ever buy gold and speaking to him tonight felt compelled to offer something to have a program tonight and without further ado I would like to call up Ramayan gold last year I was shopping in Los Angeles in a supermarket called La Brea kosher I was checking out it was there of Shabbos I had bags in hand and I hear from behind me a woman's scream and yell a rabbi called rabbi gold I turn around and she tells me the magic words robbed I go to have a story for you I always tell my brother who's in real estate mayor I say mayor whatever a good piece of real estate is for you that's what a good story is for me so immediately I put my bags down and I'm all ears and she tells me robbing gold you know my daughter was walking on La Brea Avenue which is the main thoroughfare of the Main Avenue it's equivalent to 13th Avenue or Coney in Parkway or Shmuel Hanavi bar-ilan and she was walking past young Israel and she notices that there is a cop issuing a ticket to a parked car a car that was parked illegally by an expired meter and she realizes that the car owner must be Dominick minica in the Yungas really runs over to the cops he says sir please the fellow is probably praying the afternoon services would you mind if I put in a quarter for him so the cop was visibly impressed and he says you know what it's your lucky day I haven't printed out the ticket yet and she proceeds to put a quarter in the meter and the cop walks away and I'm ready to pick up my bags I turn to the lady and I say wow this is a reflection of the tremendous enough you invested in your child and I'm about to walk away and she says rabbi gold where are you going I said what there's more she said yeah I said okay she said you know my daughter decided to stick around and check out and see whether it actually belongs to a Jew it could be that a guy went to McDonald's and he happened to park this car in front of Israel I said okay and she says um you know so she waited around 5-10 minutes and then everybody started filing out of the base of Madras of Yungas we Eleonora buy gold wouldn't you believe it it was your car [Laughter] it's amazing how a simple story turns sensational when you're involved I took her address I went to Starbucks I bought a $25 gift card I wrote a thank-you note and I dropped it off and as I dropped it off I thought to myself wow who else you know a lot of times we experience different events different circumstances in life and we don't realize what goes on behind the scenes and I'm thinking about the story the whole Shabbos and I'm thinking wow a lot of quarters must have gone into this meter so much preparation is so much effort so much energy so much time and abuse you mentioned that's my first job as a project inspire and wow what a Shabbos it was thank you so much for inviting me guys this has been incredible says Rubio si said I feel compelled to give back and I want to share with you one of our videos it's five years ago I think it was rabbi Collatz go came to LA we just moved there he spoke at chellah show this and he said a story and what he said the story was sitting in the back of the show and I listened to the store and I thought to myself I wish one day I can share this story with the world because this is an amazing story you know if you note the word see per story is very similar to the word safer and safer cheaper safer safer could be the common denominator is the fact that each of these words sheer taking separate units and putting it into a whole you take a safer separate pages you bind it together and it's one whole cipher you take a bunch of random numbers you put it together sequential order and now each number is part of a greater whole and a see poor a good story in my opinion is when you take a bunch of seemingly isolated events and you put it together and you realize wow there's actually a connection and that's what I thought maybe if I use my usurious color she Russell Kimmel emotional you solemnly see he's impressed he came but then when moisture a Bain who told him the story said Wow after your dad Tiki God ally Schaer me Cola like him what happened what didn't he know it says vase a promotional heist night I told him the story he connected the dots or a bike latzke shared the story he really connected a bunch of dots and as you watch the video it doesn't need an introduction there's so many dots to connect but I want you to notice the first half of the video is your michael atsuko story the second half of the video is a young girl story and the point of connection is in Rebecca latsko shares his story with the girl he didn't know at the time what an impact it had on the girl Kirov is not about just opening your home it's not about just opening your hearts it's about sharing your story being authentic being real being comfortable in your own skin and sharing your story I hope you enjoyed the video and inspires all of you as much as it inspired me thank you when Robeck latsko received the call from his wife he was in Dallas Texas at the time she asked him is everything I Shannon does for the best he said yes of course why she said don't worry everyone is fine the children are safe Bar Hashem our house just burned down it took about a year to rebuild our own but we looked at it as an opportunity let's create a home where Shabbos would be the focus the center of our own so we built this very long dining room because they made this table and we decided we're gonna have guests every shop as many guests but in order to provide his guests with a full Shabbos experience singing Davin Inc dancing and by classical realized he would have to buy a safer Torah one there of a classic I saw an ad Torah for sale 200 years old 11 inches tall it turned out that the owner lived in Philadelphia two and a half hour drive from Muncie where the class goes lived that he offered to drive over with the Torah Sura by classical could take a look at it the following Sunday this elderly gentleman pulls up to my home no yarmulke holding a blanket we unroll the blanket and there is a miniature anteater she was so excited he couldn't contain himself he said where did you get the soda from the seller said my father who was a Holocaust survivor was a rabbi in the Catskills in New York after the war when he passed away the shul closed down they auctioned everything off and I kept this little safer target to myself I said do you know what I would do if I had this Torah I would sing with it I would dancer that we have bar mitzvahs with it dance with it on Simchat Torah and he looks me and I see he has these tears in his eyes and the seller began sharing his story my father passed away when I was just 15 years old I had so many questions but no one was there to answer them for me when I went to college I met a Buddhist girl and we eventually got married and I converted to Buddhism this safer Tyrone has been lying in my closet for the past 50 years suddenly he looks at me and he says you know what I just realized yes is your torah accept pardon me he said this is yours I want you to have it I said for free he said yes it's yours I'm giving it to you two great things with it now there are bike latsko had to say for Tyra it was time to find an Aron Kodesh one day he came across an ad for sale Jewish Christian piece of furniture I look at the picture and there is what looks to me like an ark it's got pillars that are carved it has these little doors the only thing that made no sense was at the very top of this piece of furniture was a big cross he contacted the seller and he asked him where did you get this piece of furniture from the owner told them we're in a state liquidator and when someone dies without relatives we walked him off all of their stuff this box belonged to a priest in North Carolina Rebekah Laska said I'm a rabbi I think this is a Torah Ark could you do me a favor does the shade of wood of the cross match the shade of wood of the Ark sure enough they were completely different it turned out that the priest fixed a cross on top of an Erika dish Rebecca latsko offered $1,300 and a few days later Derick reddish arrived he took off the cross and in a moment of truth he put the safer toilet into the Aron Kodesh it was a perfect fit a few weeks later Rebecca latzke received a phone call from a woman who was active in the community she said rabbi I know you do Kirov and I know you're always hosting unaffiliated Jews for Shabbos injunctive we have a girl she's 12 years old her name is Beth she's been through so much in her life she's been abused mentally emotionally and physically she needs a home for the upcoming out to the circus can you host her of course when I class go immediately agreed she comes in for the baseball cap covering her eyes she can't make eye contact she is literally like a broken vessel she has been betrayed by each person in her life who is supposed to protect her that night sukkah the first meal of yom tov brahmic latzke tried to moderate the conversation and draw beth in he even told over the story of the safer tarantara Kadesh but Beth we mean completely uninterested the next morning everyone noticed a sudden change in behavior in Beth she was sitting on the floor playing with a children helping was asked lats go out in the kitchen laughing smiling enjoying everybody's company it wasn't until after young tub when they spoke of the community activist that they found out what happened the lady says apparently on the first night of Sukkot you told him a story of a Torah and an ark that you had just acquired that night what everyone was asleep Beth get out of her bed tiptoed out of the room when downstairs she goes over to that ancient Ark takes out that ancient Torah she presses her cheeks against that Torah and she begins to weep and cry and pray master of the world you found a home for a little Torah that no one appreciated no one saw its value who was socked away in a Buddhist closet for fifty years you found a home for this miniature aren Kadesh that was in a church by a priest for so many decades nobody knew its value no one appreciated it Hashem can you please help me find a warm Jewish home a place where I will feel loved and appreciated it was that moment that was a turning point for Beth and began her healing process a few months later we adopted her and she's become an inspiration to so many other young ladies who have been through difficult times in their lives you know so many of us in our communities feel unaccepted judged and alone like best weather safer tire and Aron Kodesh they feel like they don't have a place to belong and they don't have a place they can call home let's remember to open our hearts and minds to each other accept and embrace one another in like rabbi class go make a space create a home for those of us who feel sidelined neglected and rejected by doing so Hashem will remember us and once again bring us all back to our home [Music] [Applause] my rivera bless I children like Beth are all over in our communities and outside of our communities these are Hashem children let's reach out open our hearts open our homes and share our stories with these children learn from the best and bike let's go a person who was micariff thousands of the shamans absolutely he's a professional no doubt well we can all learn from professionals ambassador Shem will be safe at the BSP chef's it came to the mayor Beame a no I mean thank you ok it was on the program so we have to show it the reason project inspire obviously makes funny cute films is because sometimes when we watch these films we see ourselves in the film I can't tell you how many people I meet constantly who tell me you know I was sitting next to this person giving blood to a story and and the woman who was taking my blood started to bagel me as we heard about Friday night and I said to myself I cannot be the person in that film I cannot be the person who just watches them walk away and so somehow in these films we get to see a little bit of ourselves and get to experience ourselves but this year it comes with a special twist because this film was filmed right here in the Crown Plaza in Stamford Connecticut and without further ado I'd like to introduce you the new project inspire film entitled uninspired ladies and gentlemen it's not a craze it's the midst of a generation yeah maybe I'll enjoy the food please I beg you keep an open mind yeah yeah yeah whatever [Music] hey will you happen to the 9:30 shot Chris Atlanta's if you don't

go yeah see we're moving take it off Sally thank you big productions for that wonderful that wonderful that if there's anybody that could identify with some of the characters in this film I'd like to meet you later today to end tonight's program we figured that we would give you a journey of one such person that was touched by project inspire and jane Speier so that as you leave tonight you can understand the impact that each and every one of us can have it's one thing to hear us say it it's another to know that it's a completely other thing to watch an entire life lives and family that was completely transformed from people in this room actually people in this room and so for our final film tonight I introduced to you Lloyd Anna Donna de Sanok [Music] Island I didn't know much about anything from the Judaism standpoint but we did go to Temple for the High Holidays and that's the way I was brought up but from a conservative and a conservative environment um I grew up in Philadelphia and was always very proud to be Jewish but very uneducated from a Jewish perspective hey Dad when I met when we were freshmen in college quite a long time ago in 1979 and we finally got married in 1988 [Music] we got married at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia by a female rabbi so a wonderful beautiful wedding and I think we did many of the traditional things as far as walking around and doing it breaking the glass but had no idea what it meant we belonged as a family to a conservative temple and then one day just if a friend at the temple said to me there's just trip this free trip to Israel for moms a kind of a birth rate for moms and you should really go on this so I went on the JWR pee trip every day I learned something new and had amazing conversations with the observant women who were on it they were such a gift it was a complete game-changer for me when I came back I had the incredible privilege of being adopted by this woman's appear eyford from Borough Park and she almost immediately invited me to her home for Shabbos myself and my husband and one of my daughters got in the car and drove from New Jersey to Borough Park for our very first Shabbos I never spent a Shabbos period in any park anywhere anywhere but what we learned was there's family values there is values of religion God Hashem this was a new experience for me was just a beautiful way to spend a couple of days and it was a quick learning process and we enjoyed it and that's probably go back I subsequently met with Simcoe Barnett rabbi Barnett turns to me and says we're gonna have a men's trip the jwp project inspire or J inspire men's trip so he says you want to go say I'm there now I'm able to bring that experience home and all of a sudden our home changed completely when you think about what really has propelled us along this journey and what has really meant the most to us it has just been regular amazing observant people who their willingness to share that insight to bring us into their world to allow us to ask questions has been I would say by far the most valuable thing it has touched our lives in such a way they have become such models for us and we should only hope to one day live up to what they've shown us these wonderful people have just taken on us and there are so many opportunities for so many others like the folks that just mentioned that can do the same and make that impact find just regular folks like us [Music] we were at a wedding with Lori palatte and they asked about our original wedding and we of course told them we were married by a female rabbi at the four seasons and they were like okay and I'm doing a real Orthodox wedding and became an idea and rabbi Barnett who is a major incredible influence in our life came up with this idea of doing the wedding on the couple's mission in Israel and we went into stopping at the wall and we just it was just beautiful it just felt like we were in the middle of a moment that Hashem was really there with us [Music] life now is is better there's more of a goal of growing giving back I don't think there's any piece of what we do today that is not in some ways been impacted by this journey and the fact that I now have Hashem kind of running the world for me and with me everything's different in a way that I would say is much more positive and much more grounded much more gratitude based than we might have been six years of them [Music] [Applause] Wow first I think there are a lot of quarters behind the scenes on this one yes sure well said first of all on behalf of my wife my on behalf of a diner and myself I'd like to thank projects inspire J inspire certainly Stewart and Andrea Heitmann for their vision and and all of you that have made it here for this incredible Shabbos weekend in my wildest dream I never ever thought I would be speaking in close to a thousand from people this is truly an honor [Applause] it's an absolute honor to be here on the same sharing the same stage as those that spoke tonight it's just it's just been a phenomenal experience it's been a great Shabbos weekend and we're just proud to be here so I'd like to thank all of you for allowing us to be here tonight this has been an amazing transformation over the past six years for myself you Donna my family and it really takes a lot of people to come out of your comfort zone and certainly allowing us to get our out of our comfort zone to be able to be transformed and I would be remiss if I didn't thank a number of people here tonight and I'm sure going to miss a few but I have a list here this is a short list of maybe a dozen folks I really want to thank certainly simcha and iviva Barnett rabbi hi and Samson Shoei you could save the applause for when I'm done this is a great list Shoei Reuben le Leibowitz Eliot Mathias rob a drop Steve Berg mill al Barnett Yaakov Guinea ger Yoshi Friedman Josh Brody Stewart Heitmann and sippy Wray fur I mean these are just a few these are just a few of the people that have made major impact on on Edina and I and I can't thank you all enough and I'm sure there would be a lot more folks here that I may have missed so I do apologize for that and as Charlie Harare has said repeatedly you guys are awesome so thank you you know project things inspire what is it what does it say it's the word inspire and that is a real simple but complicated yet it's an outstanding word that we should be inspired and we're all responsible for each other and you all here have a role to play and I will tell you that the role that many of you have played it's been outstanding and it has affected me my wife my family and we're all in this together you're here for a reason this job this weekend so it's something that we really feel really feel at home when we're here at these conferences chávez's etc and I will leave you with this that's you know we are requesting that each of you if you have someone to touch someone yet you feel you can make a difference to at four and it works both ways it's not just having an impact on someone like myself or you Donna it's and I remember Shoei had mentioned this me and Stuart had mentioned this this to me when we were on a recent second level men's trip in Israel that they had they felt as much of an impact being with folks like myself in Adana as well as the other way around and it was really something very special to hear and it made me feel that just part of a family so on behalf of my wife yes my wife of two months now officially we'd like to thank project inspire Jane spire all the leadership and all of you that are here tonight and if you've never stood on a stage like this seeing a thousand people it's a bit overwhelming but I'm proud I'm humbled and I'm sure my wife is humbled as well and we can't thank you all enough for embracing us my family and I hope that you can all make as much of an impact on others that you have made on our family so thank you very much [Applause] ladies and gentlemen join me in wishing a Mazel Tov - Lloyd Anna Donna de set Nick Mazel Tov [Music] hiiiii no yo yo yo yo yo yo yo [Music] Oh [Music] my boy [Applause] [Music] for
