This Torah class is brought to you by
tora anytime.com.
Someone asked me before if the title,
you read the title of the speech today,
if I'm promoting for people to become
selfish.
Vacation tips. Vacation tips. You got to
show me when they tell you where to fly.
Yes, we are going to talk about being
selfish
to such selfless people. Is that called
like noral Mr. Nice Guy? No, continue
being Mr. Nice Guy, but be nice guy to
yourself also.
The idea
so many people that are not ex
clear on the mahalak of Keshani and
Afishov and all these, they think that
they don't want to join the shabus and
they don't want to join the trainings
because they say it's too difficult. It
doesn't make sense to
I hear this constantly throughout the
year. People tell me that you're forcing
the parents so much
and you putting so much on the parents
that have to give away so much of
themselves, destroy the family, destroy
the kids, everything to save one child,
they can't. Some people it's too
difficult for them. So whoever did
choose to come for Shabas, decide to
come for Shabas or to join any of the
classes, it means that you are really
really selfless people.
I wish I could make that mic a drop
lower, but okay. It's it's okay. Yeah.
The mic tiny bit. No, but it's it's
staring me.
Oh, this is the previous one's finishing
already. Okay, fine. So, yes, we are
talking to very selfless parents,
selfless people. I just came back from
Etsuran
right before Shabas and we all know we
sit on the plane and they give us the
same training every single time and they
have this stupid ass standing over there
telling us if the plane is going to hit
the water or the ocean what you have to
the oxygen mask what did they say
first put on yourself and then put on to
your child. This is the shist today.
Okay. Whoever has ADHD, it's too long.
You can leave. This is the message.
We're done.
No, no, no. Not this.
Okay, it's good. I think it's
noise. It's good. It's done. Okay.
So we are
we're being told the whole shabas and
every shabas and every training
how to become ogarat with midas and
giving away from ourselves and
constantly being on the giving end. And
so I figured that at the end of this
whole Shabas all weekend, let's talk
about giving to ourselves a
most of us that go through this para
but it's called the para going through
the para
we're drained financially. This is this
is this is something that other people
will never understand. people that are
not in this para we are drained
physically emotionally our marriages are
drained our drained and definitely our
finances and we think that if I have to
start taking care of myself and
recharging and refueling my own it's
probably going to cost I don't know who
knows how much money and it's just and
not enough time I can't even leave the
house you don't understand coming for
this shabas we need to have someone at
home and my other kids should move in
and this should do that you know
constantly being on top of everything
that's happening there. How could I go
away on vacation? How could I do
something? So, I'm not here to promote
vacations. Of course, it's a great
thing. You know, whoever is able to
sneak away even for 12 hours. Never
underestimate a tiny vacation. We always
think that we go on vacation, we have to
go for 10 days, from one morning to one
evening. If you're able to go overnight,
you go to New Jersey, take out a hotel
for one night, just space out of, and
then come back. Never underestimate the
energy and the co you're going to pick
up from those few hours of just being a
little whoever is able to. But it's not
only that
internally there's an internal vacation
that we need to have is
to expand our our cycle our the way we
see and the way we deal with issues.
Obviously it's very different. Men and
women have a different way of uh dealing
with challenges.
which is in itself a great thing because
if a husband and wife could discuss it
and listen to the others perspective
back and forth you come to real real
clear understanding as the
say there's there's bina right is on the
right side of the brain now we know
that's the right hemisphere and the left
hemisphere is mish like used to tell us
hundreds of years ago the right side the
left side is
when someone has a idea Yeah. Oh, you
know what? Let's do this and that and
let's and the bina is the other side
that kicks and says who says how do you
how is it going to work? There's mat,
you know, how how's it going to how is
it going to work out? And then the says
what do I mean? We'll just do this and
that is endless. It's like a big lofty
ideas. It's coming up with something. B
is more detailed oriented. The other
part of that's every day.
What is das? Das is the final
conclusion. after had a very good
conversation and you thought everything
why you should do it or why you should
not do it or men have much more women
are much more ba and if you're able to
discuss it the bina have a conversation
the final conclusion is called das das
is the
had
and he had g on the right side is on the
and bin is on the gira being restraint
is on the bina part of the brain is the
left side and the right side and the
center is always the balanced. The
center of the center of gur is to ferris
which is beauties understanding when to
be when to give and when to give gura
but all of these we need to take for
ourselves also what's with us we need to
be balanced for ourselves on one hand we
are giving away from us again and again
and we're doing and we're constantly 247
this is we are we work 247 sish
there's no there's no loophole
We are many people that were here for
Shabas are telling me that I'm thinking
you know who's who knows what's
happening at home where we we work 24/7
in our brain.
So where is the real chaos in our brain?
Where is the real place where we need to
go on vacation is in our brain.
Das
the balanced part of our brain is
understanding
that yeah we have to give we have to
have we have to have the right side and
expanding and endless and but at the
same time we need to know when to stop
if we don't take care of ourselves we
are not going to be here for our kids
we're not going to be able to give them
I shared once the story I want to share
it quickly with you again a story that
happened to my family my mother is a
first cousin
He was a
being a man from Flatbush. He got
married. He fell into very very
complicated and difficult very unhealthy
personality disorder woman. Talk about
many years ago. There was no there was
no we weren't able to articulate names
and but now we're looking back we know
exactly she was probably some kind of
narcissistic or borderline whatever it
was. And he ended up divorcing. He had
three children, three little one, three
pits and he got divorced and she told
him you're never going to see the kids.
You know the whole story and he was went
to court. He used to do jewelry. He had
a successful business. He made custom
jewelry. He gave up his pan and
everything. He went to court and he was
fighting all his life for years to get
to see his kids. It didn't work out. She
won. She's very very powerful woman. She
moved to from to five I don't know where
to place maybe to Queens. I don't know
where she moved to. He never saw his
kids.
He went through many many years and he
was and he didn't have pana and he
didn't have nothing and he didn't see
his children was so pained.
So he was being alk was so he worked for
the OU. The OU in those years they
needed maybe still today they need
mashikim and China for months and
different places and they take these. So
he was there for many many years here
and there. Never moved on. Never got
remarried. He was very and he was
extremely extremely overweight and he
was extreme he was he was a given up
person from alazad.
I actually remember by my bitzvah. I
never saw him. He's my mother's first
cousin. I never saw him in the middle of
our mitzvah. A person walked in and and
I said, "Tati, who's this guy?" He said,
"I thought you have to this is mommy's
cousin. He's the worst for years."
Whatever. Sh.
Okay.
He worked in the homacel. Whoever of you
remember, there was a homoatel over here
in the mountains. He was a mish there.
And one day, knock knock, someone knocks
on his door.
A young handsome lit shab standing by
the door and he says, "I'm looking
for Mr. so and so for my cousin." He
says, "What do you mean that's me?" He
says, "I'm your son." You can imagine
there was a was and he started smooing
with him and telling him says, "You
know, Tati, I never saw you. I never
nothing. I got engaged
and my said, I'm not being yours until
you find out who your father is." I need
I need to know. I did research. I was
told all my life that you're in a
nursing home, you're invi I don't know
what he was told. Brainwashed all his
life. I never knew I had a normal
father. And he's with and he realized
that his father might my cousin was a
zisa delicious vraen
depressed
but a a v a special nice person a
good-hearted person and this boy started
feeling so pained that he was taken away
deprived from his father all these years
he tells his father you know Tati I'm
getting married you can't come to my
wedding you know my mother is it's just
going to create chaos but right after my
I'm going to bring you my younger sister
and my brother to come visit you under
my my mother's not going to know about
it. Few weeks later, he comes back,
whatever it was. He comes back. He
brings his other two siblings, his
sister and his brother. And there was a
reunion like never before. They were
singing. They were crying and they were
and then and then my cousin said, "You
know, I still have parents in Burough
Park." My great uncle, come, you want to
come? And they came to Burough Park and
all the aunts and uncles, the whole
family came together. And these three
children that were taken away from the
family all these years, there was a
reunion. The family, these three kids,
the other two kids never ever went back
to the mother ever. That from that night
they stayed there. They they they
couldn't
you can imagine the excitement. I
remember my mother telling me the story
and she says that the cousins came and
two months later
punchline of the story.
Two months later, my cousin
had a heart attack and he died.
His kids came back to him too late.
He was already broken. He was already
suffering from I don't know what heart
condition. I don't know what he had.
It's an extreme story. True story. An
extreme story. Extreme example. But I
figured this is sometimes you have to
say a mushul an example to bring out our
children when they're going to come back
come back to their own brain they need
us to be healthy vibrant parents
they need to belong to a happy
I know it's easy to say and hard to do
but this is the goal this is the idea
if you see that you're coming to a
breaking point even if at the moment it
feels like you're you're not going to be
with your kid at the moment and they
need you and you're not going to be with
the other kids. Escape
physically or mentally or something or
reach out to therapist and talk to
someone. Give out your P. whatever you
need to do
because our children when they're going
to come back,
they're going to need very healthy
emotionally and physically healthy
people, parents, a happy home.
Some of you look at me like, "What are
you saying?" Well, you know what's going
on in my house now. You How can I be
happy? What? What are you What are you
saying? What? What?
I'm allowed to say this. I'm a parent of
a kid. I'm a parent of step kids. I'm a
parent of many different Shem put me
through my ownness in many different
ways. I have a right to talk. I'm not
the same. Everybody has their own para.
But if we don't take care of ourselves,
we are not taking care of our children.
Many times in marriage or in second
marriage and people come to me for shias
and I draw three circles on a paper
outer circle inner circle and another
inner circle and I say the most inner
circle is the most important
the second the second's important the
third the third one there's you spouse
and your child who do you put in the
middle circle
yourself
who do you put in the middle circle
Huh?
Come on. We're talking to Kesha Ni
parents. You guys breaking the records.
If I would ask this question in any
other place other than here, they would
all say your child is in the middle.
And I think most of you said yourself is
in the middle because I am
if I don't take care of myself
then there's nobody else to me. There's
nobody else that I could take care of.
This is in ris and gashmis and
physically and emotionally.
If I am hungry and nervous, my kids all
suffering sometimes
you should give your children to eat
before yourself. But if you realize that
you're going to be tipsy or nervous, eat
something and then give them give them a
tash.
We all are so selfless when it comes to
our children and we forget about
ourselves. We forget about our marriage.
And who do we put the second line?
A spouse or ourselves or or our
children?
Spouse. But why? It's true, Emma. So the
most important person in your life for
you to take care of physically and
emotionally is yourself. And the second
to the most important person is your
spouse and the third is your child. The
children are going to be listening to
this recording. What are they going to
say? They went to Kashani. Our parents
tailing toward the opposite or this is
contradicting everything else that we
spoke about the whole shabas selfless
giving to the kids
but if you are not you what are you what
are you giving who is giving to the kids
that's why this is important after the
whole weekend this is something that we
need to of course with selfless people I
am I taking care of myself being
selfless giving to the other but if it's
not me my kids are not getting anything
if If you're not taking care of
yourself, your spouse is suffering.
If you and your spouse are nourished,
you go on a date once a week,
on a date once a week where you close
your phone, not on vibrate, close it.
And that hour you go out and you talk
not about the comp the problems in in
that you need to discuss that you do
anyway a few times a week, just to
chill.
to recharge
your batteries, to refuel your energy,
and to refuel and to reconnect with your
spouse and to have a real united front
to deal with that kip, to be selfless
with that kip. Who are you? You're not
giving anything.
So, who benefits the most from that
chart?
the child.
Our children benefit the most when we
are taking care of ourselves and when
we're taking care of our spouse.
That's being selfless.
So what are we promoting?
Selfless. Selfish complicated.
Yes.
Exactly. Like this you're
if you lose consciousness you're not
going to be able to help your child.
Your child's going to be true. So this
is the idea
that
sometimes we need to look at ourselves
and say where am I up to? Do I still
have kayak? I need to refuel. Even if
it's at the cost sometimes of a week
investing in your kip or in your other
kids or in yourself, you need to have
your own.
How do you say pain in
what is the real touch of narrow ang?
What's the opposite?
What's the opposite of pain? Not
pleasure.
Pain is when you're you're locked in.
You're you're you're bit sour. You're
squeezed. You're there's nothing left to
you. You're like a sponge. He's squeezed
out. So there's no juice left. When the
sponge opens up and absorbs again
more,
what do we say by benching?
should make us expand us and give us a
little more freedom, a little more
bright
from all of our from all of our
narrowness and squeezite
because the biggest
sometimes means that you wake up in the
morning and you meditate
to go and think that they discovered
something. know you meditate and they
you wake up in the morning you should or
zen or different things we meditate
every morning we go to davin we meditate
a few minutes
some people meditate when they learn the
davin some women meditate when they're
when they're making breakfast for their
kids there's so many ways to meditate to
connect and to go introspective and say
what is my mission today what am I doing
where am I up to did I have enough sleep
tonight I need to take care of myself
take some vitamins do some exercise do
something make Sure that if you have
that's when you're able to start giving
and helping your child from that sar
basip
means
narrow-minded narrow feelings narrow
everything that's ach they're they're
besar
a bar person cannot take out another
bizar person
someone that's in prison cannot take
himself out of prison and definitely not
someone else that's in prison someone
that's free is able to take out someone
that's in prison.
So yes, we should be selfless and try to
give and we want to be selfless. We're
parents that our children would never
understand what we're willing and able
to do for them endless. But this is only
after being a little bit practical and
understanding that we need to also be
nourished. We need to have if you're a
you're not going to be m from from from
I think on a practical level we need to
try when you go home we're all going
home soon and after beautiful shabas and
speeches and everything we're all going
home to face the music again but try to
sneak out a few moments
and sit down tonight if you have a few
moments and make yourself a schedule
like a chart literally like a chart you
can do on your phone or in the I said
this when are we going on a date?
When are being those selfish moments?
This is so not selfish but let's call it
selfish moments in order to refuel and
to have k to deal with our kip. If you
forget about it, you just go on with
life. It's not going to happen and
tomorrow morning you're going to forget
you.
We have to actually practically put it
into our calendar to remind me. Five
minutes a day, every every 1:00,
go out with your friends for a coffee.
Everybody in the world, it's so hard for
me to give ideas because every it's the
small things. Sometimes we think we have
to do something major.
A could do so much so much. A few
minutes.
Reach out. Go whatever you could do.
If you could join a gym, physical
exercise is emotional exercise. And this
is across the board. Everybody agrees on
that one. And I know we all have a New
Year's resolutions. Every year we're
going to join the gym. And we have on
our keychains the the gym thing over.
We're there for two months. Every month
is still taking out money on the on the
credit card and say, "Yeah, no. Tomorrow
it's snowing outside, but tomorrow we're
going to go."
You want to do for your kids a favor.
You want to give to your children
endless
endless and love and a join the gym.
Run on the treadmill a few minutes.
Physical exercise brings up adrenaline
and dopamine and all get the happy
hormones and it gives us kayak to come
home like a sat.
Soldiers exercise to go out. We are all
seldom. We are all soldiers. We are all
Hashem's army.
And if we're not going to do that
today, sign up today. I'm promoting a
gym. I'm kidding. It's a promotion.
Sign up today. Some people should never
go with a kavisa to with a friend to a
gym because one day he's not going or
she's not going. It's not going to
happen. And some people need to have a
not you're never going to do you need to
know yourself.
Whatever works for you. Get to know
yourself and make sure
my next you're gonna come and tell me I
was every single week, twice a week in
this.
You're doing it.
You're doing it for everything, but
you're doing it for your children. If
you don't take care of yourself
physically and emotionally, it's not
possible for you to be the great parent
you want to be.
a person to be hashem even for ourselves
between us and Hashem
is put from the mitzvah someone is
someone is not physically well they
don't have to what are you going to do
a healthy person physically and mentally
and emotionally person is able to be is
able to do is able to do things.
You meet up another person for the first
time or someone that you know and you
say who are you and where you coming
from? You start smooing with someone
someone getting to know the other
person.
So within a few minutes you know if
you're talking you see on the person you
see I'm talking to a 30-year-old a 50-y
old
a man a woman even on the voice and the
phone call right you talk on the phone
you could always say oh you're talking
to a male you talk to female you talk
more or less the age if someone is not
feeling well you talk on the phone to
each other you have a cold or you're not
right away everything
so we know right away the state of the
physical of another person you meet to
someone you know more or less their age
of course it's a huge compliment to say
you look so much younger
I thought you're 50 or 60. Amazing.
Well, fine. All humans. Okay, let's take
it.
But more or less, we know the age of a
person when we meet them. But as we get
to know a person even more, we get to
see if mentally they're also the same
age as their body. And then you see, oh,
I'm talking to a 30-year-old person, but
the brain I'm talking to 15y old ber
sometimes.
So there's the physical, there's the
mental and then there's emotional.
Sometimes you see a person that is
physically 30, 40, mentally 30, 40,
maybe even even more. Their mental age
is even older. They're more mushive.
They're smarter. They're more
experienced. But then when you get to
know a person deeper, deeper, deeper,
you get to know where their emotional
age is.
And so many of us, so many people around
us, their emotional age is way not in
par, not in line with their physical
age, with their mental age.
Our children, they say, "What do you
mean? I'm 20. You're going to tell me
what to do.
They always talk about their age. I'm I
I I could drive already. I'm 16 in two
weeks."
People come that I deal with, it's
amazing. They know exactly 16 and two
weeks. And my father doesn't you know
the you have to go along with your child
to make the the license or the permits
huh permit. So we're trying to help our
children and they say like he's not
giving me license. I want to be able to
drive. And what are you thinking
mentally? This kid is 11, five, nine.
Yeah, he's 16. You're 20.
I always say I wish in the mus it would
work by stage not by age.
As I get the gimbal, you go this this is
a seventh grader, 12th grader. It's it's
I'm serious. I really believe that it
can't be it should be every grade should
be according to what the child is up to.
This is a Mishna class. You done with
Mishna, a Gumuda class.
You can't do it. You can't have a
15-year-old ber and together with
nine-year-old kids. But three years up,
three years down. If we go by stage, I
think, why am I saying it? Maybe one of
you will have a hashbu one day and one
of the Mes. I really think that that
should be but at home for sure we should
be dealing that way.
Sometimes we have to play to our teens
and we have to tell them that we're
treating them like you're you're an
adult. You're mature adult. But deep
inside us we know that this kid is
emotionally
or mentally in a much younger age. We
need to know how to
walk on eggshells. I don't know like to
to step between the lines and say like
yeah I trust you but I think it's you
know I want to do it for you. I want to
help you. because they are not in a
place where they're able to.
But this is the point. Many of us are 40
years old.
We are mentally 40 or maybe more and
emotionally 40 until we get in pain.
When we are in pain or when we're angry
or we're when a person is jealous.
No.
If you have jealousy, if you have any
type of emotional stress in you, you're
not your age.
That's why it's so important to have a
mentor. And when it comes to discussing
our own child, I could be helping so
many people and it come discussing with
that my kip I discuss with someone else.
always I have to make a major decision
about my child this way or that way. I
have someone that I call and I discuss
with I cannot I cannot be there because
in this matter I am emotionally not my
age now
I am mentally not my age
it's not me now that's
there are certain moments we are all
mature adults and we we hopefully we're
all our mental age and physical age and
and emotional age is on par and it's
always good but that's until there's a
problem
is
constantly you see this in the to you
see this in that we we need to know when
we could trust ourselves when we are in
a good place in a good state of mind yes
I am I am who I am I'm my age I could
trust myself but when it comes to
something that's going to have to do
with tavas or something that has to do
with with withh
any type of thing that takes you out of
your that then you need from outside
every person in this room.
I'm I'm talking to sadik m
such selfless people and we're sitting
by a she talking about being selfish
but
we cannot trust ourselves to say that I
am okay I don't need vacation I don't
need to take care of myself I need to be
here for my child you need to have
someone outside of you to tell you sadik
sadikas
you guys need to space out for three
days you guys need to you guys need to
step out of the situation to be able to
come back and help your child again.
You're losing your own judgment.
We're drunk
of love to our kids.
We can't trust ourselves at the moment
and we say, "No, I could do this." 5
years later, you're shriveled. You're
gone.
To be the strong, healthy parents to
take care of our kids. Sometimes we need
someone outside of us to tell us.
That's why I told the miller that I
thanked him for
and then
there's a rumor. Okay, I don't want to
say but they might be in a different
place the next kashi. He's giving us a
treat and you should all join just for
otherwise you would never go on
vacation. You would never leave town.
You would never put yourself on a plane
because we're so stuck as I said before
financially and emotionally. We're here
to save our kids. We become shik from
ahava to our kids that we we forget to
take care of ourselves and then
ultimately our children are not going to
have healthy happy parents to take care
of them. So our children will be losing
out.
If we could have a mentor and tell the
mentor, tell me when I need to back off.
Tell me when I need my own space. Tell
me when I need to go. Tell me when I
need the vacation. And you listen to
that person.
How much money did most of us borrow and
put together for these kids, these
children are costing us? People outside
of this room, people that don't are not
in cash enough on this para don't
understand. You have people that were so
financially stable and the kip comes
into their life and everything is chaos.
people telling me here through this
shabas and many other shabus that I
joined
paying a rehab here and a rehab there
and
it's mashai
it's being recorded this video and
people that see it
anybody that's in a position that's able
to help other Eden please reach out to
the Kashani parents if you know someone
that has a teen a child that's a kip
you never know how much financial help
all of us need. Most of us,
if we want to be givers, if we want to
take care of our children,
that could only be if we are taking care
of ourselves, if we are healthy and
we're able to give them all the
I want to read to you a quote. I'm
sorry, it's on my cell phone. Some
people don't go for it, but I want to
read to you a quote. I just don't want
to misquote it. And I and I'm going to
conclude with this with this message.
Switch
from the words breaking my heart to
breaking my expectations.
If you have an expectation how a child
needs to turn out to be, you have an
expectation how a husband is supposed to
look like.
If you have an I didn't say hey Google.
Hey Siri,
if you haven't the biggest sad
pain that a person has in this world is
coming from our expectations. People
always ask me is it normal? Is it
normal? Means I is this expected by the
community? Is this is this is this a
healthy expectation? Is this the way we
should this be this way?
There's no such thing. Is it normal?
There's no normal. There's no normal and
not normal. Nothing. You're normal. I
tell people this is your normal. This is
the way your Shabas table has to look
like. Is it normal that? Yes. In your
house this is normal for now this is
what Hashem wants your house to look
like. It's normal. This is the normal. I
don't care what the neighbor thinks.
We have an expectation how our Shabbas
table has to look like. We have
expectation how we want things to be.
And if it doesn't pan out that way,
that's where all the pain comes from.
So, I'm going to read it to you again.
switch from breaking my heart,
giving me pain, causing me pain to
breaking my expectations.
Nobody broke your heart. Your child
never came into your life and thinking
every single night, how in the world am
I going to break my parents heart? How
I'm going to make them sad and give them
all the sudas in the world? I can't
wait.
You had an expectation that this kid is
going to grow up to be the Madame Shik.
It's going to be Surah Shane for the
next generation.
Mentioned Sudesh

from a Bela family. the literature by
Yakos

In other words,
when we have a challenge in life, turn

This was the idea. And this is exactly
what's happening with Keshani.
Many of us, if not most of us, have
brothers, sisters,
parents-in-law,
mother-in-laws, parents, and telling us
you're doing the wrong thing. You're
ruining the whole family, and then you
have neighbors calling you up and saying
the whole block, and there's meetings
behind your back. You heard that
neighbor, they took in a dog to the
house.
You saw how that girl walks out in the
street. Did you see that? And they come
to you and they say, "You don't know
what you're doing. You have to stop."
happen. That's a stone that was thrown
at you. You become the next. They should
never be tested. But
this is
avoided because we're the beginners.
We're in a whole new revolution.
Unfortunately, there's thousands of more
people that should have been here for
Shabas.
Thousands of more people should have
been. We all have friends. I had so many
people that I tried convincing to come
to here or to the trainings or they're
embarrassed or ambitious or they they
they're not ready. They're not ready.
Maybe t some people not ready. They they
didn't take care of themselves enough to
become totally selfless and to be able
to give. Maybe tak nourish themselves a
little more before they come here. Maybe
I'm not judging anybody.
It's very hard to be a keshi parent.
It's very hard to being told keep a home
kid while you're being bashed and pained
by your neighbors and by your parents
and and the saying that I'm not talking
to you again. You can't come to our
parties because you're going to bring
along your kip. Yeah, you can't join
this. We all know the stories. I have to
but eventually we are all the sudishers
of the next generation. I mean, until
Mashiah comes, Alish Kim,
but until that very day, we are the ones
that are going out with a torch. We're
going home. And as I said before, we're
going to face the music again. And we're
going to after all the nice douches and
everything, we're still going to
to we're going back to exactly where we
were shabas,
but we're coming back with a torch
and we're going to be a light upon our
nation.
and we're gonna say yes,
I am
doing selfless love for my child.
I heard a lot of speeches. I'm going to
hear more. I'm going to educate myself
more and this is the right thing to do
and I'm here for my child
and I want to say the bashm said
Hashem is our shadow. The light shines
in every shadow. Whatever you do, your
shadow does. Exactly.
Whatever you do in this world, Hashem
does back to you. You don't judge
anybody, Hashem will not judge you.
Hashem is going to be in every hundreds
of times this is mentioned.
We are all kips. Let me speak for
myself. I'm a kip also. There's part of
me that's a kip. It's part of me that's
I said before the say
but it's
the say in the one person there's part
of us there's a that's we want to do
what's right and we're totally connected
to Hashem at Vik the highest level and
then there's a part of us that's quite
cynical is not always ready to do
everything for Hashem we do have some
points that are a little selfish, a
little jealous, a little everybody has
their midas that they have to deal with.
And then we have a part in us that's a
so that part that's in us that's a kip.
Hashem sees the way we treat
our kips, he's going to treat us.
Hashem,
you're giving endless love.
The child deserves it. No,
we give endless to our kids and we go
out of our way. We do everything we can
for their life. We destroyed our homes.
We destroyed everything. We're giving.
We gave up our dreams, our expectations
to save
to ease the pain of a yiddish.
Then we could come out to Hashem and
say,
"I'm taking care of your kip. Take care
of me.
I deserve. I don't deserve. Look what
I'm doing.
I'm sorry. I said I'm going to finish it
right, but I want to finish one more
line.
I don't know what the schedule is. I
don't know what's
something else next. What time is the
next?
Five o'clock.
We did not come for Shabas.
to bring back our children to
Yiddishkite.
Don't shoot me till I finish my
We came for Shabas to be trained and to
get
on how to help our children in pain, how
to ease their pain a little bit.
This is why we came.
We came to figure out and to understand
the amount of pain that's in each and
every one of our children
and to ease their pain to make a little
bit
by giving ourselves taking care of
ourselves as we said before filling
ourselves up with knowledge and filling
ourselves up with
and to ease their pain. That's why we're
here for Shabas. They didn't come here
to learn how to bring back. So how you
going to bring back your kids? You were
there for Shabas?
They were there two months ago. The the
son is still walking around with the
alpeas.
When we see our child taking over the
yarmaka,
if that's the moment we realize there's
an issue when they dropped yiddeshkite,
we are way too late.
Yiddesh kite is the last thing they
drop.
They were in pain many years before. I
was talking to a kip this week. He told
me when I was 10 years old, a boy
writing diaries, interesting, but he
told me I wrote diaries. It's a very
girlish thing to do usually. He said I
wrote such pain that I had on my
parents.
He never told them. They didn't know
what's cooking in him.
It was situation greatest parents
amazing people I know them
all of us do everything right and still
it's so hard to know but when he took
off his yama when he started going with
girlfriends and his parents came running
and sending him to therapy
I don't blame the parents we don't we
don't we're not we're not we're not in
the VM we don't we can't identify we
can't detect early enough sometimes
maybe all of us should be advocates and
telling people around us
This child didn't look so happy. Make
sure the child is okay. Serious.
But we're humans.
The child drops yiddish kite is the last
piece of their pain. That's the last
thing. And guess what? It's going to be
the last thing to come back.
I'm doing all kinds of things to get my
son to put on film for five minutes a
day. And I'm giving $1,000 a month. And
I'll bribe them and I'm getting great
amazing. But this is this this is not
the point.
You want to bring back Yiddish guy
before healing him. This kid went to
Kaid went to school. He grew up in our
homes. He knows what he's supposed to
do. He knows what a ye supposed to do.
He knows what's right. He's not like old
fashioned aas from 500 years ago that
went to that is no.
Even evolution is refuted today like
what what agnostics
what it's all pain.
We are not trying to bring back our
children to Yiddish kite.
We are easing their pain. We're helping
them heal. Their Yiddish kite is going
to come flying back
in a moment.
The second it clicks in their feelings.
Whatever it is, they needed more love.
They needed more acceptance. They needed
the parents to trust them. They need
they needed to see justice on someone
that betrayed them. whatever happens.
But one moment comes and suddenly
they're back. They're they're just
they're just here. Most of them don't
come back with long pies with fine.
But they suddenly get connected to
Hashem again.
You never know when that click is going
to happen. Hopefully very soon to all of
our children. But do we know?
And if you don't try to bring back the
children to Yiddish kite, they're gonna
get even faster closer to Yiddish kite
because they feel and they sense when
you're nice to them. Yeah, my parents
are nice to me because they want me to
become Shabas again. It's the worst
thing you want them to feel.
They feel the ems. Our kips are such
sensitive.
You can tell them whatever you want.
They know the truth. So really tell
yourself. And this is the emus. Our job
is not to force people to become Hashem.
Our job is to ease the pain. If someone
is in put them in a mitzvah,
we are not bringing them back to we're
bringing them back to health to be
successful in their life. I always tell
these boys that I I just want to help
you with the gosh. I want to help you
find a job. I don't want you to fall
into drugs into and I don't mention the
word about and suddenly when they're
stable and they find a job and they have
no issue dvening I mean some of them
obviously there's all kinds different
levels every every every situation is
different.
So if we fill ourselves up with enough
ammunition with enough tools physically
and emotionally as we said before to be
able filling ourselves up with knowledge
and understanding as we had the whole
Shabas
of what is our mission what's our goal
that's the moment when the Irish self
healing is going to start coming in and
the children are going to feel my
parents are not here to bring me back
tokite and they're not here you know
what the next thing is for their
embarrassment meant nothing
some kids many of our kids feel that
yeah my parents are embarrassed from the
neighbors that's why you know I'm
walking around
never mentioned embarrassment the bisha
even if they know it was still y and we
still have those feelings but
should help that all of us should have
the co
and we should have the cycle to fill
ourselves up as we said for and
physically and mentally and emotionally
and in your marriage and whatever you
can to fill yourself up with all the
kas. Be extremely selfish in that way to
be able to be so selfless when it comes
to giving to our kids and give them
everything you can that they should be
able to crawl out of their sort.
How do you stay? How do you stay so
content?
What do you What do you do to keep
yourself with all the challenges, with
all the opportunities? You call them
opportunities. I'm calling. So once it's
called opportunities, then it's not a
question anymore.
You talk me personally. Oh, me
personally.
Goes to the gym.
Show my membership.
You want to know personally? We have
once could leave the shares over but
I'll share with you. I
I've been through a lot of challenges in
my life as I've shared previous times. I
shared everything but I'm not going to
share everything now. I just we don't
have time. I learned something that
worked for me. I know it works for other
people.
We have a logical
conscious or subconscious. Our
subconscious is a little child.
When we have a dagger, a worry about
something, it constantly comes up on us
again the whole day. Can't but what am I
gonna do? My son is not engaged yet.
What's or or someone that's that's look
for that constantly living in it.
Life has so much more to offer. There's
so many more details in life. There's so
many more folders. The folder that
you're worried about is on your table
all day in your face in your folder over
here constantly. But what are we going
to do then? We have 10 folders nowadays.
Everybody has multiple. There's no
family that doesn't have multiple issues
to deal with. You might someh I don't
know what it is but used to be here
there all of us have many challenges to
deal with and those few challenges the
folder is open right in front of our
face the whole day. Why? Because we
believe by having it in our mind the
whole time we're going to come up with a
solution somewhere somehow and then
we're going to walk out with weapons.
But what happens really
we don't become smarter. We become
weaker. we become
and all the other kids, all the other
folders, all the other people in our
life are suffering and nothing is
happening and the house is depressed and
and and you're not successful in
business. You're not successful with
nothing because those few daggers are in
your face the whole time.
So I learned
it works for me.
I put away once a week, sometimes twice
a week because I have too much to deal
with. once a week consistently, a
specific time
and a specific day where I sit down by
hooker by crook even if I'm not in the
mood at the moment to deal with it and I
deal with those few things that I need
to deal with.
After doing that a few weeks, your
subconscious, the little child in you is
going to trust you. It comes up with
what's going to be with what's going to
be with the mortgage payment? What's
going to be with that kid? What's going
to be it goes away in the side says,
"You know what? Don't worry, Tatty.
Mommy, the adult in me is going to deal
with it Wednesday 8:00.
If you really do it a few weeks in a
row, a specific time, dealing with your
issues, your inner worries, your
subconscious start trusting you that you
are going to deal with. It's not going
to
of you again.
I'm sitting in shield, right? We sit a
shield. The men know this. We s you
women think that we d six hours. We smoo
after ding. What do you think? You got
the secret. So after Dash this and that
you like 15 minutes, 20 minutes, half an
hour sometimes and I have my little I
want to go home. I'm sitting like this
and I said five minutes a minute. We're
not finishing the conversation, right?
We all come on back.
If you tell your child, you see there's
a clock and when the guys on or
whatever,
oh, we're going home. Your child looks
at that watch, are you smoozing, it's
oh, you actually leave the sh in the
middle of your heated most important
conversation which President Trump needs
to discuss with you. The vict the
politics and you drop everything. You
leave because you promised your son that
12:00 you are walking home. One week,
two weeks, three weeks, your child would
never nag you again.
You say in five minutes, he knows in
five minutes.
This is the way we need to treat our
child, our I'm showing you here, it's
not really here, but our subconscious.
If you train your subconscious
that you are taking charge in a specific
time in a specific moment or by a
specific person that we're going to deal
with this and you follow through a few
times, it's going to start trusting you.
You're going to live mik
and this is my secret. I have once a
week where I cry like a baby. I said it
on camera. Yes, I do. Not every week,
but whenever it comes up, give it out.
Thank you.
[Applause]
having a man that's divorced for a
couple years and this that he said I
said once a week an hour a week you are
sitting with a on the sit down even if
you don't know what you're going to do
this is shak hour this hour you taking
out your pad your book and you call back
this half a year ago they said this name
after the hour is up you close it done
by every single moment of every single
day thinking about shadik you're going
to come engage better you're ruining
everything else in your life
I told this thing he said it changed his
life and actually things started getting
done because at that time sitting I
still have 45 minutes to go what am I
doing I don't have a choice hour he
calls up another shim I know I called
you already this maybe what's happened
with that name with this name
it's not always feasible and I know it's
not always it's very nice it sounds like
sometimes You need to
try to get into this place. It's easy
for men a little bit this mahalak then
for women a little bit because women
everything is connected. It's a little
hard. It's a minimal back seat for some
reason. But even for women it works in
in a certain sense if you know it's just
like you're going to therapy. Make sure
you go to therapy the same day of the
week the same time. It's really
effective.
You have whatever it is that's haunting
you. Your fears, your worries, your
problems. You know that your system
knows Wednesday 8:00 is going to be the
time it lets you live. Suddenly you're
going to find yourself being happy being
in the kitchen and singing and putting
on a little music in your house and the
be you're dealing with the diagnosis.
You're dealing with it.
If we train our subconscious,
it's going to let us do it. It's going
to let us chill. New word. Come on,
chill. He's going to let us chill or
chillax. Relax. Chillax. I'm learning
new phrases slowly.
But if you don't do this, it's
constantly running after haunting you.
And this is something that worked for
me. I really hope that by sharing so
personal, if it's going to help even one
person in the room have a bissful may in
the life, then it pays for me. So it's
coming al.
Thank you.
