welcome everybody to the matzah Shabbos program of the 10th annual project inspire convention I was trying to think back over the last over the last 10 years 10 conventions 10 trailblazing conventions it was so hard to pinpoint moments of each convention but who could forget the very first time the traveling Kassadin grace disgraced the stage at the project inspired convention and who could forget when a nine year old boy Dylan wrote a chocolate book and raised over a million dollars and taught us we can all accomplish the impossible who remembers that who could forget Alex Claire gracing the stage in Kalahari resort and the list goes on and on and on and here we are again at the 10th annual convention and I assure you however hungry you are and whatever pizza is waiting for you outside you will not want to miss one minute of tonight's program you have my word I ask you all that you keep your cell phones on you you can keep them on we're gonna need them as the program goes on hate to be so intriguing with cell phones as if people were actually going to shut them but nevertheless I'm just prompting you that you'll need it throughout the program we've constantly reminded ourselves over this amazing Chavez about our responsibility to claudius role we reminded ourselves that were the solution to tackle Claudius halls biggest problem and we are tackling it and you've heard so much about over the Shabbos with look we learned about loving Girish kite so that we can share our own Yiddish kite we've learned so much and we're going to learn more about that tonight to start off this evenings program it's appropriate once again to introduce to you the international director of project inspire rabbi Shyam Sampson [Applause] good far I hope you were had a wonderful service I certainly did so thank you we mentioned before that we had the privilege of having yahuda Weinberg here son of the receiver of Noah and famous story that that review hood is bris there of nope used to tell the rogue shark came and he came to Asia Toro and he looked around the room and he saw people learning and he asked that guy over there who's stiking away he's about to over and have no say yeah he's about two of them learning it up he's about you over here focusing yeah he's about truven and Rev Noah would say that in honor of Noah from shark said the following thing that he said in praise of her of Noah is that it says in the pose of sugar at Hashem at Okaka keep her shelter but over now huh return to the Lord your God because you have stumbled in your Avvo nose and he asked we understand it says shuva add hash-table kappa we understand that but why do you need to say kick a shelter bar whenever we understand you do children because you made mistakes she answered that from the AVO knows from the mistakes that are made for the hood from the her time we can learn about how far we can go and he said that if one person could kill six million Jews and you see how bad it can be when it's bad how much more so meter togarmah rubra and the almighty wants us to give the good wants to give the good to asks how much more so one person can save six million Jews and he said that in praise of her of Noah and really the truth is refused to teach this to us as tell medium all the time and he used to tell us fish Valley near Allah Allah that apparent every person is obligated obligated to say the world was created for me it's my world why because the world is run by college Baraka for each and every one of us he's running the whole world for our pleasure and at the same time it's my world it's my responsibility Lafitte Huck never Adam yet he D a person was created alone to realize it's my world and I am responsible for it and I can change the whole world on my own if I only win it wishfully navaja olam the world was created for me and the harvest high and backs this up in Homer sidharth's and he explains the story of King Yoshi Yahoo whose father was a king who was a Cote Oh Marty who brought him up as a child who knew nothing he didn't teach him a parsec nothing but one they were maja sake the base of me - and he walked in they found a safer Torah and he started reading the bouzouki that he'd never seen before and he got to the to the parsha that it says are are are shallow york him as debris Hatter aha Zoe's cursed is the person who doesn't fulfill who doesn't stand up the words of the Torah and as we understand that that means that if a person doesn't try to bring Torah to the Jewish people when it's not being upheld there's a curse and says yo Yoshi Yahoo he looks at the zoo command he says a Lyla Hakeem it's on me to bring them back the cat hava and that's what happened King Yoshi aku broom brought back all of Claudius realm from nothing he didn't know anything he brought everyone back but he was the King says the Hafetz Hayyim in his days it was the king who was responsible but in nowadays it's anyone who cares anybody who cares it's his or her responsibility to bring back the Jewish people and it can be done we're at the 10th annual convention and as you see was explaining look how far we've come Baruch Hashem there's so much happening there's so much that's so much good ten thousand people that have taken care of training programs thousands of thousand people have gone to Israel because of people like yourself that have stood up and said we're going to do something there traveling has even the the the so many different types of people doing so many different types of things thousands of gifts that been given to people thousands of people learning together one-on-one thousands of different events that being run in New York New Jersey all over New York Toronto by lay people that never been done before so the time like this it's certainly appropriate to give a little thanks our first thanks of course is to a cottage borrow room but how can we go through a tent convention and not say thanks to the Hammonds [Applause] you'll see we have a little gift we have a little gift here there's a reason why I said what I just said a beautiful painting that we just had painted for them on the top it says Billy never ha olam the world was created of me because the Heitmann have certainly taken responsibility for the world and burrow our che Yakima's debris at her as owes that out before Shem explained that for every color there was a broker that was said first that the high payment certainly deserved that brother of upholding the Torah and we wrote presented to Stuart and Andrea Hyman on the 10th annual proteins by convention thank you for taking responsibility for the entire world by awakening the sleeping giants and bringing turret to amuse Rome may Hashem bless you and your family the jury jurors thank you so very much [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there was a lot of talk especially last night if you were up at 2:30 in the morning how do we keep the Torah how do we maintain it and our own families our children our community and I think they were a couple of points speaking my dear friend Heskey Cal Cal who's joining us with the Shabbos and we were talking that really it's simple like Rob North used to say and he used to say over and over again that all the Torah can be basically boiled down as Habakkuk did mamita Marcus Tariq bare moon or so yet yeah a person has to have a muna and have no effused to say what's the essence of a muna the essence of a Munna is understanding Hakodesh borrow who loves us and it's rock used to saying it in a minimal way that's the whole point of life is emunah to understand the essence of that is that Hashem loves us and the whole point of life is to keep banging that away at ourselves and our children so we get it into us that we really feel it deeply and I think the second thing that we're understanding is that the Torah is a mirage athelas Yakov it belongs to everyone Raviv Weinberg that Sal I Rabi used to explain that the school system that we have was really instituted as the Gomorrah says in Baba Basra by rubbish reassure Ben gamla and it says over there that if L male Yeshua Ben Gamla hyannis takatori me Israel Torah would have been forgotten why so so explains that really was a time when they were orphans in Kali Israel many orphans and it used to be before we had school system that had a children learn Torah their parents would teach their father would teach them at the home but those poor orphans didn't have a father to teach them and as they grew in number what do you do so what did you every sure Ben gamla Institute in instituted schools for everyone everyone asked for a vehicle Weinberg just you know make a school for the orphans maybe no no no no that would be discriminating against them so because of them the whole system was completely changed everybody goes to schools because you have to care deeply about the sensitivities to an orphan since review of Weinberg if it wasn't for this nice dark taramis realm Tara would have been forgotten from the whole Jewish people but why so imagine what would have happened so we would have had people learning Torah and we would have been insensitive to orphans but there would have been a lot of Torah being words they would have been gooed ona being pursued produced says the gemara Baba Basra that Charro would have been forgotten free from the Jewish people explains reveai come Weinberg why because Torah is not just about me and my learning Torah is that in the context of Claudius realm and if you don't think about in that context and you don't care about Kali RL it's the whole of the turul all that learning mister dr. amuse rel it's gonna be forgotten because tur is not just about me it's about Claudia Schrom how much more so in our generation when thousands of people when 90% of our brothers and sister Torah how much more so we can't just keep learning on our own that if we want to benefit for ourselves even the way to do it is what provoked ways toward us is by reaching out to those out there because that's what the tower is about can only learn in the context of caring about Carly's room and that's what project inspire has been about Baca said we've just dated some of the beautiful things that we've been doing that wins over to do and brakesh em of them last several years we've been doing that in New York New Jersey and in Toronto but over the past year we were we decided the hyneman's wanted it and they were right it's good that what we've done but we have to bring it everywhere we have to create a movement and we started doing that in different going to different places for of a sham this year we went to four new places and there's so many more that are waiting for us to come - with your help let's see what we

course of inviting Diane Abraham to our convention and is Rebbetzin is because I get the feeling when I'm on the phone with them that I'm really doing them the biggest favor in the world when in fact it's really our biggest covet to have them here Diane Abraham and his revered Sid have not only joined like I said three projects by our conventions but Dianne Abraham joined us at a Poland trip when we took from and on from people together to Poland it just so happened that a group of secular Israelis were taking a tour of Poland and they might not have gotten the same experience as our trip was having and Diane Abraham made it his business and made it his mission to make sure that I painted bnei yisrael who were getting a possibly watered down version of what the history of Poland was to make sure that the Jewish neshama was ignited and they joined together and our trip and singing and dancing it's therefore appropriate as we close that a decade of project inspires convention we're

and shining Kauffman those given intellectual brilliance know those people who want to use hokhmah to serve Hashem and to bring kedusha ticularly through all too often we don't realize the gifts we've been given the heavy set of office and sharukh Kinnear and Perry Kimmel says the following in identifying what humility is or submission before Hashem is he says there's one category of people who we think are submissive we think they are I love him they have a novel they have humility people who are helpless and don't believe in themselves he says you find it in the animal kingdom and you find it in humans sometimes they have them they don't think of themselves they don't realize and they're helpless he says such a person is not a an honor of such a person submission is really because he's

able he/she can we don't realize those kindness we've been given we're not serving a college work with what we've been given correctly you had a beautiful vote from Rebbe silver today quoting that Amelia best about Shang Nala from Iraq level my shrah vein was told to remove the limitations to unlock the potential I mentioned the point of hobbits time explains the next part of the puzzle shall now Laramie are a glare ho unlock release remove that shoe that constriction that limitation go beyond those boundaries chiamo came a shot I made ll you will find at the very place you are is a mahkum College we don't have to look for conditions there if only I was there oh I had that kind of on this place whereby the case or whatever it may be if only I had the ability of something incredible Mikado awakened we've heard speak to our service members if I was this person this time this point in history says the hobbits I am no shall neither for me are a glacial take those limitations off take off the blinkers these oculus borrow clothes children they happen Avram he took the archive are obvious any mice are waiting for every Jew to come back we don't believe I could have Oracle should give us the Congress to say the right word and do the right thing when I could work was waiting for each of them to come back shall not let homie al Rogalla take off the blinkers Keeaumoku Machado middle L because the place the situation each of us you me every time and every opportunity if the lave is willing if we have that understanding then the sky itself isn't the limit we can change cloudy through and connect to the condition the infinite potential and every neshama and change the future of the world but we have to realize it and feel it and believe it and unlock it that's what project inspire believe is set about to do and has succeeded incredibly in bringing so many people to their realization that without us all without each and every one of us is ability in the time and place we're in with the abilities that we uniquely have that job on gets done of course the Ultimate Ears we spoke about the earth today we had a beautiful shear this morning about it to bring people to the base some Irish and to learn turn but the varied ways to get there and their roots and the portals and doors which they need to enter through are varied and as varied as the people will need to bring in so two other approaches but the approaches ease as we heard from Russia Sheva last night about steak and wine but it's a social time but it's the outreach to gifted all the various things we've heard the one on one simply a nice world inspiring people by feeling they're our brothers and sisters however that may be ultimately if he comes from the deeply embedded feeling each and every one of us count and each and every one of us is responsible and really desires with a hakama slave to make a difference then the outcome is secure one of my favorite insights into how lives can change in London under the guise of not just of H of Jewish futures or of Stoli shift his incredible organization one of the wonderful care of him Danny's smaller wits in his rabbits and lived in a

happened to be Jewish to live in Essex one time of the year you hear they all the engine start too much him keep her together gives you a bit of a flavour of the place Sarah my small Lewis gets there with his wife and starts inviting finding students or kids school age opening the house and a Friday night twenty thirty children they vited open house instead of them going clubbing on a Friday night at a party stake and why whatever else they could put on the table an open house and groups two children found themselves before going clubbing we had a great meal beforehand it was cheaper than going

be music were singing together one condition there was one requirement yet to wait to the rabbi had stood up and made some chant over a cup of wine you had to go and wash your hands and then together they all had to make a blessing which initially broke his teeth on most he left him on orous I might see left menorahs Balazs only then could the meal start that was the only condition he came the first Friday night liked it and came a second Friday night a couple of months went by he was fluent in MIT Letterman orit's and then the question the subtle question came would you like to come in an
