I usually
try I try not to be
emotional in public and definitely not
on
camera but a shabas like
this you have to be very uh you have to
be a robot not to have feelings or
to I've been to I had this to being
about by 15 shabus like
thisi and other shab say last year and
now I think it's just about 15 shabus I
must say someone asked me before how do
I feel about this
shabas I think
that the specialty about this particular
shabas this year over here in
Manchester
was the vulnerability from the parents
the being open wanting to listen tell
us they reached out to the runam and to
the therapist the speakers with the ofen
hearts in gunon completely like tell us
what we need to do we are here in gunon
we are we want to he vulnerable we're
sharing our
story I know it takes a lot of Kus to
want to come to shabas like this it's
not easy
to to come out in the public a lot of us
our children are not so public yet what
they're doing the streets it's a little
more hidden so why come out and
everybody should see it's one of the
greatest
beaches as we D every morning we say ly
D
is sorry l
l we ask he should not give us
any how in the world can we D for that
that we know the is that hasem brought
us in this world to give us his
hardships It Started from the first
of
that's where it started and it continued
with constantly this is what makes this
is what refines us this is what makes us
grow this is what makes
us of
said
is yes you give us the is fine but don't
give us such a the type of that's also a
B and it's a bisha a shame shaming me my
family my loved ones with don't give me
an ass sign that everybody's going to
have to see what's going on a lot of us
are going through different
Nas a lot of us going through different
but not everybody has to know you don't
have to wash your laundry in the street
not every to know and a s like this is
very very painful as we all know and we
have to come out and face the world and
we understand that a lot of people could
be judging
he said he want share the story he said
it was by a he had a talet with this
talid was a A1 student Mish the best
Booker that he's had in many many
years the
learning was once by and someone came
over to him and he told him you see this
ye is your best book father this is the
father of this boy that you always rant
about this is the boy that the father he
went over to him I just want to give you
regards your son
ah tell me what did you do to have such
a child I tell me the the formula tell
me the ingredients tell me the what kind
of did he do I want to share it with all
the parents everybody wants to have a
child like this that he takes out a
picture a photo a picture from his
pocket and he shows it to thei mat looks
at the picture and he says what are you
showing me it was a picture of a guy
with a long ponytail tattoos with nose
rings and he says why are you showing me
he says this is my other
son they both grew up in the same home
they both grew up in the same place
Thea I didn't I don't take credit over
here I don't take blame over here I have
to do Myles I need to do my job but
really the outcome is
after we all know when someone asked one
child look at another child look at this
one look at that
one I must say I'm not moving here so
fast but
beautiful I remember last year I went to
speak to a few different moers I saw the
such sh
and do and from the we all have
different and now we have a
shared so it's evident that there
nothing to do with the outcome we have
to do
our you got to do you got to do you
don't have to accomplishing the is up to
we just have to do
our so this brings us to talk about a
little bit about unconditional
parenting of what is the Mahal of
unconditional parenting what do we do
over here what's our goal what's our
mission for this group for our group
that's here now and for the future to
save what is the idea behind
unconditional
parenting it's in the word it's in the
name but what does it mean we all know
that a person would go jump at the fire
to save the child we've seen it so many
times throughout history went through
programs mothers jumped into fires and
fathers to save the child what would we
not do to save our kid to save our child
I remember when I was a teenager of
there was the bus bombs that years in
those years 1995 those years there was
bus bombs unfortunately for few months
and I remember there was a story there
was a a mother she knew her babies
inside she jumped in and she died
together we'll do everything in the
world so what
happens to all of us including myself
guilty in the beginning when I started
with my ass
sign what happens to us when we have a
child that gives us an ass sign which is
a that we forget how much we love
them by the previous Shas someone asked
me how could I love my child
more I said you cannot love your child
more than you love them can
you I had a
boy
I have a was
called I'm working with them for many
many years there was a
boy from Ultra Ultra home and he went in
his own way and he started wearing jeans
and and his father kicked him out of the
house he didn't know about unconditional
parenting he didn't know about and he
was very this boy came to me was
crying where is where's my father what's
going to be this book
worked in construction building houses
one day few months later I was in marar
him used to come to us shab Thursday
nights I used to make aab for the boys
in my sh and we
made so one one day I get a phone call
waslick something terrible happened this
boy was working in a construction site
and he was sewing sawing cutting wood
with a chainsaw and he cut off his hand
99% it was hanging on a piece of skin
helicopter came he was metac taken to
the hospital surgeries and surgeries and
surgeries few weeks
later he calls me up he said I want to
come I want to see I want to come to you
I said happy tell you're
alive he walks into our house with a
body cast like from all the way covered
in white like holding his hand and I hug
him with him and I tell him how you
feeling he says I just came came to tell
you one thing I need to go back home I
need to be in bed most of the day I went
through seven surgeries I woke up after
3: or 4 I woke up in the hospital I
found myself my father was standing near
me in the hospital
24/7 making phone calls getting me
private doctors to do private
surgeries I couldn't believe that my
father was so Mo andish he didn't go
home to sleep he was there with me for
weeks it paid for me to cut off my hand
to know how much my father loves me
I'm shivering when I'm saying it I
remember it you like like in my
face this is something that's not to
take likely we will do everything for
our kids so what Shain what happened
that we even doubt of
of expelling them from the house or
trying to what's happening what happened
to
us this is our signature this is our DNA
this is something something that we we
we preach it we live it it's it's in
us what
happened I think that deep deep deep
down because we're not educated yet how
to deal with them We Believe by being
strict with them and telling them what
to do and telling them I'm not buying
you this if you're doing that I'm going
to throw you out of the house you're not
going to be part of it this is going to
bring them back it comes from Run's
place but from a very
Twisted Ra's place from uneducated
place but imagine if a son or a daughter
could walk around and feel that just
because I dress differently or I'm not
keeping shabas or whatever Tas and all
these thisis that they're going through
the hardships they could even doubt for
one second that maybe my father my
mother does not love
me and because they have that
misconception we are here to train
ourselves all of us how to remind them
how much we love them we do not have to
work on loving our kids anymore we have
it it's in
us we love our kids I remember I told my
daughter the first time she walked
out with a miniskirt I went shopping
with her in the big famous stores and a
lot of people know me and I'm a
that and I'm walking around with my
daughter like officially first time in
the
street you know theisha ah most of you
know how that feels you could you could
unbearable unbearable that's S I didn't
say a word I was telling myself schi
Practice What You
Preach I was preaching many years before
I had my own sign I had experience I was
working with this I work in yiva now I
have my own
school I came into the car she says tati
right you were very very embarrassed
you're so embarrassed with
me I told her I
said there's I grabbed her like my
should I said there's nothing in the
world that you could do that would take
away my love for you there's nothing in
the world you could do you could
embarrass me you could walk around with
yellow hair with orange shoes you could
burn down my house I could be in pain I
could be hurt my love for you is not
possible butas to cut off
meist I worked with a boy 20 years ago
25 years ago when I
was when 8 was young I I I worked in a
in a shop I remember my first job and
there was a a that worked with me he was
he came from a very a
very his father's
a and he was he was a as we called him a
kip a kid pain so I was talking to him
and at that time he was already more
came to DAV a little bit whatever he's
still dressed very very different than
his family but so
said what what turned you back what was
the moment what was the that that that
made you start he takes out his driver's
license and he shows me a picture of how
he looked like just two years ago with
huge hair like those years was like the
style like the huge hair and no y no
couple he says this is me two years ago
I said what did
it this B told me he has a zider that
lives in New
square one of the new Square this is
ultra Ultra as you could get if any one
of you ever been there and Za calls him
up and he
says come to me for shabas where you
being for shabas come to me shabas said
you sure I don't keep shabas I said I
know but I keep me shabas he drives down
this boy tells me he drives down to new
Square he comes in there with a red
convertible car without a roof and the
muffler is making that noises and the
loudest
music and he parks in front of his
zaida's house and Z comes out and
H comes to sh man and the Z goes to D in
and he says how about you come with me
to sh I should come with you sh I don't
D I don't need to D just come with me
you have ever seen such a big sh there
thousands of
people come he says I went with my za
with torn jeans with my big hair and I
come
to and he says ma holds me around like
this and goes over to everybody this is
my this is my
grandchild that's what he was
doing this sing man tells
me you think I don't know what bees my
head is a person
that from a Zid I know very well that
zaida I happen to know I had a a dentist
that I was that I was when I was 13
years old that I had root can I was by
him for a few weeks he was uh e and i t
to stay by they e this he would make
like
AIC he told me that
Sunday he switched something happened to
him he knew the bees that his
grandfather and he saw that his Zid gave
away his whole image his whole C his
whole Prestige everything from me
because he wanted to be me marar and
that's when I started changing my life
that's when I realized that I am so
lovable and so admired and so important
and therefore I'm able to to
Z our children don't think for one
second that we don't have vishas when
we're nice to them don't worry you don't
need to tell them they know
it I have a school for these
girls 9 10 months ago I keep on saying
nine months I don't know we were up to
already
and my daughter she was going through
her own journey and we didn't have a
school for long when and the school
closed
down so kids I didn't have a choice I
decided I'm opening up a school for her
and that's what we
did me and my wife and my wife typed up
a nice uh email and and we sent it out
day one the first 24 hours you had over
a 100
inquiries within a few weeks we had 250
inquiries for for people NE that that
don't have where to send their daughters
and it was very clear what the school is
about this High
School since then we have we have 20
girls
now some are recycling some are going
some are coming and I smooth with the
girls I go there once a day one of the
things that I'm doing you can't these
are girls are not into learning much you
can imagine so I decided with very few
Tunas in this in this school M minimum
and M Mish minimum Tas is not part of it
and one of the things that we need all
the girls to join it's called The
Thinking classa class but we reframed it
the thinking class one hour a day the
girls come they usually sit around the
couches they're not going to sit by
tables and or it's me or someone else we
give them a thinking class we talk about
and different s of Life whatever they
want they ask me questions sometimes it
gets very heated they bring up what
kicked them out of school one girl was
kicked out of school embarrassed in
front of school she had like a a star on
a sneakers wasn't according to from the
school and the principal screamed she
said you never went school to ever since
and I'm listening to all this pain kids
were doing a little bit like therapy and
everybody's sharing their stuff one day
I was about to give a you know I talk
about relationships I talk about trust I
talk about different different concepts
but I always start I say girls Whoever
has a question could bring it could
raise a question if it's something that
I feel everybody's going to gain so one
girl ask a question and she said I have
a
question why does Hashem care if I have
a nap a tissue in my pocket on shabas
without a
Arif do you really think Hashem cares
about things like that he created the
Sun the Stars the moon does he really
care about that tissue tissue in my
pocket does he really care about that is
Hashem so nitty-gritty is that is that
that's what he's into
I said that's so awesome of a
question I asked around the girls what
is your question your question different
thing it went into
shabas I shared with them that just a
few weeks before I went my wife we have
in our neighborhood there's a nice
park and there's hikes you're able to go
on Hikes over there and there's a huge
sign in the entrance of the
park and as I'm reading that sign and I
said ah and I made my you know I do my
30 seconds I made a video out of it
it says the rules of the park no smoking
no dogs no alcohol no trash no no no I
don't know like 30
Nos and I was sharing with the girls I
said can you imagine we came to the park
to enjoy there's so many
restrictions and I said yeah so I said
you got you girls want to read the
restrictions I showed them a
picture they're reading the restrictions
of this park and I said what do you mean
these are all the think that if they
would allow it nobody would be able to
enjoy to be man in the
park I said that's what the rules of
shabas are all about shabas is not about
what you're not allowed to do all the
things that we're not allowed to do
shabas is being going to take away from
what chabas is made
for because wants us to rest he wants us
to enjoy to have man everything that we
should not do shabas is to take us away
away from that so you could get into a
moment and say okay but this
tissue so I said what a heavy thing a
lighter thing you know so driving you
know we went through the whole I'm not
going to get to go to sh thing but I
guarantee you the girls after that smoo
was unbelievable I got some text from
parents I don't know what you said I
don't know what you did but the girls
are starting to look at shabas a little
different questions questions the S
would do it
what do we do so people ask I'm going to
send my daughter to the place and then
you know you don't have any rules we
have we have Mom minimum minimum I don't
want to point it out the details so we
just had a girl that left our school two
weeks ago she sent me my wife you okay
I'm reading it she sent me my wife a
text message and I want to read it to
you you should understand the Mahal and
like this you understand the Mahal of
unconditional parenting hi Rabbi and Mrs
I just wanted to say thank you so much
for having me in your school I really
gained and was able to grow so much from
being in an open and loving environment
I wasn't like I wasn't she probably
meant it wasn't like I was told to stop
doing things I was loved for who I was
and that really gave me the strength and
push to grow to where I am now and the
change Came From Within Me Not from
external pressure which makes it real
and
Lasting I some examples of things I
gained in my time here is definitely
real lasting relationships learning how
to live alongside others and so much
more so really so really thank you for
putting so much into this school even
though sometimes it's hard thank you and
I feel like I'm now ready to move on for
even more growth so yes AEM yes AEM I'm
going I'm going to be going to Israel
and I'm so happy to have been able to
have bny which is the name of my school
and part of my journey and I will
forever be thankful to both of Rabbi and
Mrs ER thank you so
much this is a girl that came in she had
massive struggles with SAS this is like
the
peak we never ever mentioned that she
went to school now
it was out of the window was not an
issue
anymore by the way I want to share with
you I want to share before with I'm
going to say it in
public one day I get a phone call from a
mother in Lakewood and she
says her daughter asked her she wants to
buy longer I don't know names but this
different lens it's not s the KN totally
but different she wants to improve at
okay so she bought so the mother text
she asked why no stop nothing Macho
nothing so she Tex sent me a text said
what what did you do in the school this
week I said really it worked what did I
do I came one day to the thinking class
and I said girls today we're going to
talk about personal
space personal space I said you know
when you talk to someone and their faces
in your face what do you do you back off
right you talk to someone it's about on
average if you learn about social most
of us learn it on our own and some of us
need to be trained from my nose to
someone else does about 17 in on average
when you talk to them there there's a
study see 17 and 20
in but when someone comes closer there's
space physical space then there's such a
thing it's called shared space so we
talk about shared space I said the
kitchen over here is shared space so if
you leave your your dirty plate you're
invading someone else's space it's your
space and someone else's space we're
talking about space say shared space how
it works
amazing then we talked about space for
the eye imagine in in America there's a
law you can't work naked in the
streets well I want to do what I want no
you can't you're hurting someone else ey
you can't turn on music too loud when
someone is sleeping you're take away
someone's someone someone wants to sleep
and you put on music which happens El a
lot because very labor teenagers have a
lot of energy overnight like it's
unbelievable like yeah we know it they
sleep by day up at night even they get
to
but and so talk about space and when it
comes to all the five senses space so
then I talked about and it was this was
going on back and forth and they were
sharing what's your what's not and then
I
said does any girl want to add something
what other space can you think of and
one girl
says I get it so when I come down to the
shabas meal with a very mini skirt
without leggings and my brother-in-law
makes kiddish like this because he
doesn't he wants to be able I'm invading
his spiritual
space I did not end that conversation I
wanted them to learn and to a whole
different perspective ofas it's you
you're invading someone else's space you
can't just do what you want but I got
there in a plate and that's where it
ended everything could be taught and
everything could be given over it just
has to be done in a way
that that that the that should be able
to accept
it so the mission of unconditional
parenting is to have our kids we're
talking generally we need to remind the
again that all the everything that we
spoke about throughout chabas and the
trainings from K and from most of our
conversations are when we talk about
kids that are in the way we call it
stage four right there are kids that are
just starting to struggle they're not
there yet it doesn't mean that advice
that you got from someone that we're
dealing with at stage four and then you
come home you try to practice it to you
know to on on a kid that's just starting
not everybody is is in a level of that
that they need to go through every
single detail but we trust that parents
are smart enough and mature enough to
understand you hear you listen to
speeches and then you see how you could
apply it in your own family for your own
kids and you have to see what makes
sense but
one understand it and then you
be be on your own and to decide can I uh
apply this for this child or that child
can I actually apply this
but so the Mahal goes like
this once a
kid was
hurt regardless how they were hurt it
was bullied or they molested I'm sorry I
said that word or any other way that
they felt they were traumatized with
something or hurt their innoc everything
changes things change they don't have
that for for life as much as they had
before they were
hurt
rarely nowadays rarely their issue is
yish kite the problem is that we only
see that they're hurting when we see
their yish
kite disintegrating and going less and
less that's when we realize that there's
a problem over here and we think that
the yish kite is the issue so all of us
we're all guilty of it when we started
before we knew about this Mah and
understanding what happens to the child
when they go through trauma or pain we
right away try to make rules or try to
bribe them put on I give you $100 or if
you're not going to put on you're not
going to come to my we all try the
natural thing the the way we deal with
healthy kids with regular kids because
they were not
hurt but over here we learn that once
someone was hurt physically emotionally
usually emotionally hurt it's a
different it's a different it's a
different method it's not going to work
the conventional does not work we're
going to
crisis and this is what we need to
remember that the idea of this place is
that we're teaching how to do
crisis and crisis is heal
first and then they'll become functional
and functional means
and if you came for
shabas or you to any shabas and he
wanted to learn how you could bring back
your child to yish kite you made the
biggest mistake because we're not going
to teach you
that yish kite is not the problem it
never was and never will be yish kite is
awesome if I would give up would come
and say only to what would I change
maybe I wouldn't wear the St a little
heavy but I don't you can see this SK
it's my own thing it's my
culture it reminds me there was a one
day
maybe but what would I give up would I
give up a life but
never from family a guy sits with their
family Thanksgiving I don't know the
Thanksgiving over here what what what
would I give
up it's the most awesome thing we don't
need to sell yish
kite this salesman is trying to sell a
product he goes to the store and he says
would you buy this would you buy this
product and he says what is it so if
it's a very good item it's a good
product he doesn't need to sell him and
tell him why it's good for him he just
has to tell him why the product is and
that person will will know that it's
good we don't need to sell yish kite
maybe we need to tell our kids our
regular kids at home a little bit more
what really shabas is and
yam of course we need to tell them if
not they don't know but you don't need
to sell
it so if someone dropped yish kite it's
not they dropped yish kite they drop
being functional in most parts of their
life most of our kids not all most of
our kids that go through their struggle
with yish kite they're not functioning
they they get in trouble with the law
the boys with speeding their
cars and they do other risky Behavior so
obvious not why we get stuck Onish kite
and this is giving the wrong message for
our kids that we only care about their
yish kite what they're really telling us
I am in
pain I am
hurting I can't tell you but I'm
hurting that's all they want us to do so
what do we do what do we preach over
here what do we what what are we saying
you should do we don't have to sell it
we're just telling you what it
is it's the first
heal everything else is to follow I got
a fun call a a a WhatsApp voice note
from a a man few weeks ago and he tells
me is a regular kid at home a
12-year-old kid my son came home if he
was angry slamming doors and I went over
to him and asked why slamming doors
what's happening and he spit me in the
face the boy spit his father in the face
he sends me a text what do I do do I
punish him do I scream at him do I lock
him in his
room I ignore it what am I
doing I leave him back a voice not
I said I'll tell you what to do take his
son don't say a word in an hour from now
take him in your car take it for a drive
conversation with the car is sometimes a
very good thing you're both looking that
way right even with the wife some
sometimes we drive get the conversations
the scenery is moving you don't have to
look at ey you can have certain
conversations happen in the car so I
told him take your son on a
drive and tell
him it's a regular kid not a kip
if you spit me in the face it must be
that you are hurting very very much and
I don't know about it please tell me
what it is I want to help you it can't
be that you spit me in face because you
don't like me he tells me I'm not doing
this I'm I said you called me this is my
M do whatever you want call someone else
a few hours later this see man called me
on the phone he was
crying is said SL you wouldn't believe
what just happened I took my son in the
car we're driving it took me a few
minutes we need to talk about this and
that and I said sadic if you spit me in
the face it must be something is very
very hurting you he said tati thank you
so much for telling me you know that my
rabi is not feeling so well we have a
substitute in KA for a few weeks and the
substitute is embarrassing me and
belittling me in front of the class
every single
day he called him name
so his father felt so guilty I was about
to punish my kid I was about and and so
he asked what do I do now I said
tomorrow morning you're going with the
son you're going get to the manal's
office and he say I am not walking out
of this room until this substitutes out
of the building and never walks in here
[Applause]
again and this s man did it and the
manal apologized and said I had no clue
he looked to me like such a I had no
clue what's happening in the class and
he thanked him and B this boy is shining
away he got even closer to the Sun ever
before cult
can even more so when we're dealing with
kids that are being hurt that they're
hurting inside we don't know what it is
some of us trying to figure out so when
was it oh it was two years ago was this
was that if you know what it is and you
can still help it you can still try to
get them to therapy fine not all the
time are we going to get to the bottom
of what is really hurting them and why
there but the fact the matus is if
someone is not behaving is not
functioning in Ras and in G the way they
should in that age
is must be that they're in pain prove me
otherwise maybe in the times of
Enlightenment is probably also hurting
but they were reading books ofus and L
a total this is not the case today I've
seen hundred B for hundreds of B and
girls throughout these years I've never
found I didn't find anybody that's
functioning in everything the life
besides because evolution is
real I haven't found that person
so should I say it in
English okay
a person does not do an
a only if went into them a
a
uh huh
foolishness so if someone is not
functioning means that they're in pain
so what do we do we treat the pain
that's it you can go home we're done
this is this is the whole idea of
unconditional parenting unconditional
parenting means there's no terms and

few minutes and I went to my sweat room

picked up from the s store a few weeks
before
Tois

different places different places
someone made a collection a very
nice we talking
about so I opened up randomly my wife
was waiting she run we packing the car
minut maybe will give me a gift and he
gave me such a mat and I want to share
it with
you he says
that someone as L of Mag you're so mock
on every diber you never say a word
extra sadik very mock on your di you
call everybody sadic people think it's a
new thing now you call sadic it was like
that in the olden
days for sure so he said this person is
a
Russ and you called himad he's a a you
call himad you're lying you
know so brilliantly answers him he says
if you learn a rash and you don't
understand the rash would he say rash
doesn't know what he's doing what you
say I need to understand what did rash
mean to say over here you learn another
hour you understand the Rasha if you
learn gamar and you have a question why
did the gamur mean to
say you don't get it you're going to say
theur doesn't know what it's say say I
don't the says you don't understand it
doesn't mean that the mean that you
don't know how to learn
this the T says that this person is a
tadik I don't know how I cannot say the
T doesn't know how it's doing so this is
a
tadic I was always wondering when I was
a little kid we used to read the books
sh we Lear so much
about extra
very the SE was was uh smearing the
wheels with oil from from his horse and
buggy for his buggy and and and the guy
was putting on film while he was and the
V comes out look how beautiful CL is
this person while he's taking care of
his aome buggies still
D what would other people say when they
saw
that the other way around and I used to
think is foolish like he really or he's
fooling Hashem hashm doesn't really know
how does it work being someone in a m
like that but then 17 18 years ago when
I
went to study a little bit
psychology and I was learning and
understanding I started to realize that
we me I do not have the ability to see
and know where some someone else's B
is every person has b in a different
place we all have kids right as I always
say the sh every child is a different so
they're all born they're beautiful
they're cute we kiss them we love them
but they're like a gift wrap they're
full of wraps we don't know yet what
their nature is we don't know if they're
a cast we don't know if the cast is
level 80 and the jealousy is level 20
and we we don't know anything but as
they grow older we got to see this kid s
oh he an anger issue and this kid has a
that issue this is their Ava whever they
need to work on
we don't really know the struggles of
another person so if I don't know what
the struggle of another person how can I
judge how could I know about this
person's this person could be a
says
he it's a alab a girl from pre-war she
came to America before the war and she
was fighting to keep shabas for many
many weeks she lost a job and she worked
and she was here alone her family never
was killed
and stayed in Europe and and she caved
in slowly Surly she she went over the D
according to our eyes and she became
very very rich and she lived in in in
Boston and kabad over there was building
a mo and they knew that this woman this
alter lady over this very rich lady is a
is a is a is she's a she so she gave Tak
a very big n a few million dollars to
the few months later
said she was in Brooklyn and they wanted
to bring her into the
the she said I have no come to the RAB
you gave money for his she came in and
the start saying I heard that you gave
money for to and such a and this and
that she
said he called her by her name he called
her by her name he remembered her from
the whatever name was and he said so she
tells him
looks at
says we don't know who it's from we
don't know we have no idea some people
have different missions some
people and all they needed to do is that
one little thing and other people have
morim and other people are pain and
other people are we don't know what
someone else's is so to
me I think that could help us
tap into the real us which loves our
kids endlessly and tell ourselves my
child is the greatest sadic in the
world I don't know how who says one
person learns 15 minutes a day and
another person can learn 10 hours a day
the person that lived 15 minutes a day
could be
more than the person live 10 hour do we
know this person struggles for him to
concentrate 15 minutes on
Tyra it's something that he can't it's
just doesn't work for him that's
something that we don't
know that came to
the and he said my
son I remember when I was a little kid
my grandfather took with him twice so
the seat comes re my son dropped and
he's crying what should I do she said
call to me he comes home he said tells
his son over
there and he said I'm going to go to the
re the re's calling you you're not so he
had respect he comes to the Reb's room
and he says re before he started to talk
I just want to tell you I'm a shabas
just just just you know
disclaimer shabas like do you still want
to talk to me then says wow you
shabas what do you do for shabas I smoke
says really smoke shabas wow how many
cigarettes do you smoke in in every 24
hours and L say 10
cigarettes how long does it take you one
cigarette to
smoke he said about 3 minutes so
said 24 and a half hours you keep shabas
only half an hour every shabas you don't
keep
shabas it's amazing 24 hours he keep
Shas the last half an hour is the
cigarettes that you
smoke this boy went home next chabas he
he smoked one cigarette
less and I continued he's now and he
tells the story said I told myself
already that I'm gone it's all or
nothing and
it's was so connected my wife's family
is very connected
to Baba came to America after the war
war and he had a SCH in in Manhattan and
he he was looking for Minion literally
looking for minion minion he trying to
and there was like seven eight men nine
people finally and he sent out his gab
or his son of to goap in
and every that passed by and one guy
passed by and he looked like a and
he said are you
a he started talking
yish so he says we need Aion he comes
in where are you from from where you
come next week shabas again we're
looking for Minion and they go outside
they need a tent he finds the seed again
and bring him in a few weeks had minion
already but then more started coming to
America and Po in Manhattan and he had a
and said I'm not starting to D until
they ye just come in I I wanted to come
again so it's because we don't need
minion we started up with someone he was
here
so they said why do you need it we have
minute you bring the sh the go you
know I not starting to D until we find
him they walk down to the corner there's
a park and they see this seed over there
smoking a shabas they came running back
to he
smok we're done they knew every week
they're gonna have to go look for this
guy he's not we don't need
him
shabas
Hitler he smoked shabas Hitler is
smoking it's not him it's his pain go
bring him I want to have him for shs
they brought him they went re needs you
he came few weeks later the B moved back
to Barak he moved to Barak he created
this whole Dynasty this allas we know
how now it's one of the biggest
kidas a few years later many years
later see
came in and he tells the Son and the in
the back do you remember the that I told
you I see him I spot him over there tell
him to come over to
me hepped him
over after that this that I'm not
smoking Hitler is
smoking I'm pained it's only pain who
wants to be shabas who does not want to
keep shabas does it make sense not to
keep shabas if someone ever did it in
their life they never they never
experience a lavish dinner that they
don't crave a lavish dinner or a fancy
house or whatever they have we were born
into
this if someone gave it away that means
that they are in
pain this is the message and this is the
idea that would constantly and we all
need to remind this we need again and
again and we have specific questions in
different cases obviously that's what
the all the training is all about and to
understand the details but the subtotal
the idea and understanding is that there
is
noas nobody dropped
yish they're in
pain for
them I'm going to
conclude
after being this the for very long time
we become
filtered menion we go up in a higher
level of giving up our ego and all the
other things that we spoke
about we learn how to love even if they
hurt you we learn how I mean to see the
love that we love them even if they hurt
us we learn different things but what
happens is people around us that don't
have this particular n are not in the
the level that you're at and they throw
you a question and they throw you a
doubt of what you're doing if it's right
or wrong and that's when you could fall
back so be aware of
it if someone throws you yeah you're
going to keep it you know what you're
doing for your other kids or you know
you know all this kind of it just for us
it's a not that
they like a it puts in doubt into us not
these people mean good that they just
don't get this they don't get it
they can't it doesn't
work so remember that they're not in
that level it's
okay and I want to say one more
thing only ask advice for someone that
knows this Nan inside out someone that b
this or at least someone that was
trained someone that was in this Mah
because if not you're going to get so
confused you're going to go to ask a
local R for this one or that one old
sadik and they're amazing I just called
not long ago to ask him on a on a on a
someone asked me information on a family
that I know and there's something that
family that I and I was in my I don't
know what to do on one
hand if I don't say I could
be that I'm not saying this family might
be on the other hand if I am going to
say I might
be it was a big I
called and I asked him he said
he said I am
not in
the call this and this he's in this was
so amazing how you could be a big r
from but if they're not in this they
don't get it or because they don't have
this to themselves or they're
not do not ask them this question you
got
for for this has my balab says that
maybe be masing with me Myas balab says
that Dory has to be only story that
knows the or this what you want to call
it to
help we should have all the all theas
that we are bringing down everything
that we're doing in this world uh two
weeks ago there was
the spoke and he he himself has this
Challenge and he came and he spoke to
the parents it was amazing the that he
gave and he said the story the one of
the one of the
luminary he wrote many
different so had a son that was a kip he
had him by shabas table by the Tish he
was a of and he was a m of the and he
had him sit right near him on every
single shabas year in year out people
used to come to him re if he comes I'm
not coming he said you can do whatever
you want it's my child and we know at
the end at the end this boy at the end
of his life he did cha and whatever he
did cha he became healthy so he's able
to be ear again that's what Chua means
in that
way this is something that we are doing
and this is something that sadim did and
this is something so you know that
you're doing what's right ask the people
that noce and we should be clear oh I
forgot the main point was that oh sorry
the main point was that shared is that
that he said the story and he said that
there was a another that came once to
the to the and he was wondering what the
is doing it at home Friday night after
when his son came home with this son
what is the doing and he
sneaked he was hiding behind the door he
wanted to hear how that ever talks to
this to to this son so he put him to
sleep and he talking
him and then when the son went to
sleep were such pain and we're
misbehaving we not we're not being e the
way it's supposed to be look what I'm
doing for my son isn't it a about time
you should do it with us this is this is
the the main point that that he
shared so this is
a from all of us and we are all going to
be marching
towards
