Hebrew dear friends we are as the MC

it it reminds me of my youth I was in I
don't know if you know what is is a
Youth Organization was doesn't exist

a communist Youth Organization there we
use the word revolution I think that the
right word is
Revival the right word
is the souls are coming back
to
it's what we witness today in
isia the light of
Masia we are going around around in many
places in the world to tell this
story because it is one story doesn't
what will happen in is affects every Jew
everywhere in the world this is the
heart this is the soul I want to tell
you a little bit of My Own Story by the
way there's another suggestion maybe we
begin instead
of okay I I I'll tell you something
about my own story and I and I tell you
then after a few minutes why I'm telling
you this not just to reveal my own story
and then maybe your ask questions will
be the best thing then everybody will
will be involved in the thing because
otherwise I give a which nobody's
interested and least of all myself so

between nothing at

to the vocabulary in the Marxist
Socialist Communist world the religion

in the story
of was
this I met a
person how I met him never mind never

sentence 40 years of my life I met Prime
Ministers I was famous I don't know if

question

delicately

silent we look at this
person it's the first time we met such a
person and we saw
his
wisdom he's so clear so bright and so
Noble we became all silent then in the
middle of the con said a sentence to
change my life he said listen you you're

questions why this why this why the

question is this is

lie I of
course it's a legend and
it's never mind it's nothing
no he said to me the sentence I can
prove to you that there is a to the
world and he gave TR Mount Si and the TR
that we have in our heads today is the
Torah that gave us in Mount

t for 50 years if he understands the
word proof he looked at me with with
bright eyes he said I think I understand
the word proof I said him you're going

questions if you like to ask anything
please I'll try and as question so let's
see the first film it's called
Revolution
maybe you close the lights maybe if you
can close the lights it be seen
better the word revolution generally
refers to Blood Fire and
smoke the sun has risen and set over
many revolutions which came and then
disappeared but there are authentic
revolutions revolutions that happen
within Hearts within Theon
these are revolutions that leave their
imprint on human history 35 years ago a
genuine Revolution began the cha
Revolution a revolution that brought the
Jewish people back to the Torah to our
source of Life 15 years ago as a
continuation of this the Israel
established leim and charged it with the
mission of harnessing the incredible
power of the Torah world to take
responsibility for this holy work lay
has witnessed many miracles there is the
miracle of registering children for a
Torah education over the last decade and
a half non-observant parents registered
tens of thousands of their children in
Torah schools they have guided every
step of the way how to progress with
their children on their new path in life
I'll break the home over into a kosher
Jewish Home this enrollment activity
continues these days as well and brings
thousands of new students boys and girls
to a tal education each year the other
divisions of leim continue to flourish
the 40 m throughout the country for
young women Regional Torah centers the
work of K Y and their wives who
volunteer an evening each
week two years ago the CH movement
experienced a new wave teenage boys some
still in high school and some after the
Army teenagers and young men for whom
all of the attractions of this world are
available but contrary to all logic they
are ready and willing and even as to
learn to Le coordinators locate them in
their high schools the sports Arenas and
on the streets they invite them to learn
Toba and they come they listen to shiur
participate in various events travel to
K to the

from time to time
[Music]
they get to know the great Yeshua
[Music]
inish
he
orchester it spend a day in Yesa a Shas
in Yesa and the impression that this Mi
on is immensely powerful but perhaps
more than anything the visits to Hon
soil leave indelible RS the Simplicity
the atmosphere the walls which are
permeated with kadua we bring them to
[Music]
Mar think
[Music]
there they receive the strength and the
fortitude to move onward and upwards we
teach them that there is no authentic
path in life other than studying Yeshua
and they come they understand that it is
not enough to visit that it is not
enough to
be they strive to attain sh
they go to the best
issues here for example just a tiny
sample where they were a year or two ago
and where they are today Tom Freeman 2
years ago completely nonobserved today

brothers players on football team

[Music]
the heart
[Music]
yes so you saw a tiny bit only the youth
yes we were concentrating in this film
on the youth so I suggest maybe you have
some questions that I might be of help
because I'm you
I maybe a little bit older than most of
you so maybe for my experience my wife
my my own maybe I can bring some
help any questions please don't be
shy did your friends do my
friends most of them
not the the wife of my best friend arik
Einstein you know AR Einstein is he was
a very famous singer past
away he was a months ago month and a
half ago his
wife there were she was his wife then
but she they were our best friends and
she made sh because of my wife she
called her every day she said her name
was
Al
great and she went she came and she went
to a seminar and after again a very
short time in the first lecture he said
I
knew she made and her two daughters
which are the daughters of Einstein and
ala are to two sons
so it's a famous knowledge yeah and we
and they have to and they have 18
grandchildren and seven Great
grandchilden this is the only one that
read for our friends you cannot convince
somebody else to do it you have to have
this thing in your heart and if it
doesn't ring or it rings and you and you
quiet it you you want to listen to it
it's called in
the the heart doesn't reveal to the
mouth you know it in your heart but you
don't let it go you don't let it say yes
I want nobody
exterior can do it for you so this is
the only good friend of ours but many
others I think our example gave them
gave them a way gave them strength to do
it they still show my films today on
Israel television this I said another
miracle and people see the films it was
made 50 years ago
and still they see and they show it on
the Independence
Day and thousand people see it and then
you say if this guy can do it I can do
it also the films are not very religious
as you can understand yes so they see
their type a character that living the
certain way of life so if he can I can
also so it inspired many but close
family close friends
yes please when did you get the feeling
of the revelation of the presence of
Hashem when you actually you knew for
sure that that's that's the Cutting Edge
of of between being there or not being
there is knowing and understand like I
see you that he's really there rather
than just the HX yeah yeah very thank
you very for the question very
intelligent question so there are two
steps the first one was intellectual I
knew in my mind but I didn't I didn't I
wasn't close with my heart I was there I
was was not with me I knew he's there I
talked to him the difference began when
I began to learn tah did you feel it
when when you when you knew he was there
did you feel his the presence in a
minute in a minute so when I began to
learn Tor and this was like this I I DED
at home then I decided a few months that
I should have in the synagogue
with they told me
so I tried to find an
asazi in yafo there was one when I came
I just took out the already finished the
old and I didn't understand one word
and one word I was so disappointed so
desperate what to do going back home I
go I go
through I go into
I understood the words and a very nice
place there was hard theion of old
people they don't they didn't know me
because they look at films all people in
yo I began to D there and then every
every after after theing they would
throw open the
book and they made tea with Nana and I
smelled the nana I didn't want so much
the Tor I wanted the Nana so I went came
closer and I said close I took this book
this book saved my life not saved my
life but made me what you say begin to
to approach the himself because I reveal
what
is such a holy
book he who
he arrang this book it
says everything in 25 minutes you you
you cover all parts of Torah what was
the name of the book again H is H is
it's a very holy book it's a
book and and
many
communities and then I began to taste
the taste of Tora this that I not only
knew that there was of the world I
begin I still didn't feel but I began
to become so so inspired by the wisdom
of the Torah it covers every area in the
life as I said before I learn we learn
to learn Torah how to love this the most
important power in the world people
don't understand the word love what does
it mean how much you have to invest in
love to identify the enemies of love in
yourself not in the other person in
yourself to know how to fight against it
to begin to build a family to to
everything was in the Torah I became
enthusiastic I became so then the third
step was that I came back to my Rabbi in
Jerusalem I came back to Jerusalem he
was a of he
learned has a great part of his Torah in
the inside of Tora
and when I began to taste something of
this also this opened my heart then I
began to
feel what it means to be a Jew to feel
what it means to be a son of the to feel
it with my senses I a little bit I I a
problematic problematic person I am a
little bit tough it's far hard for me to
to reveal emotions but it penetrates and
it penetrates till this minute and this
third step made me m to feel and to with
my all my senses to
see to see so these are the three
steps
I okay another
question how did you how did you get
over the embarrassment I'm sure it was
embarrassing in the beginning how did I
get over the embarrassment
it was different than today today the
media makes a big fight against is the
media they have a small group of people
but they have the media in their hands
so they try to make to make it a stigma
how do you call it to to give it to give
it a come
on like the Germans did you know to be a
Jew to be AI they mock it they they lie
about it so today
there is a a social embarrassment when I
did it people didn't I didn't feel so
embarrassed I was I was embarrassed to
to put the clothes yes this yes but the
fact that I was about CH people thought
that I'm making a joke they wasn't sure
about it I mean I was making many jokes
then you know so I making many things
maybe such a you know makes such a and
then he contined a year and second third
year they understood it's it's serious I
I didn't feel so embarrassed I felt
embarrassed the first time when I when I
put
on clothes because I wanted my children
to live in in a in a neighborhood still
wearing Jaffa but I put this on the
jacket and a black hat and because after
a long time after a year at least I went
out from the house and in neighborhood
people knew me and the youth they were
youth there they knew me and they look
at me and they see a in the neighborhood
they never saw in the neighborhood and I
approach and they identify that this is
me they began to laugh and they they
were sure they were looking for a hidden
camera you know a Candid Camera maybe
it's a film something like that you know
what I'm doing then I
felt I would bury myself you I I was
standing there you
know an idea came to my head and they
they laugh and I begin to smile so they
see that I smile they stop to us what
are you smiling about I said no I said I
cannot tell you it involves a lot of
money he money what is money yes what do
you mean no I cannot tell you the secret
he said said don't please tell us I mean
but you won't tell anybody say yeah you
say you know I'm a famous person I so
the approached me and he said if you're
ready to go a whole month just like this
we give
$5,000 this you see
you're joking said no this is a fake
don't tell anybody said tell them I'm
ready also I put it for two months give
me I ready also Freeman I said for, you
ready to do it and to honor your the
memory of your grandfather you not this
I proud of it this is the uniform of my
grandfather he was killed burned because
of this uniform I proud to be a Jew From
This Moment On I found myself in Dallas
dllas yes they don't like so many no
Jews and no blacks it's a which they
hate more Jews or all blacks so I was in
Dallas airport 6:00 in the morning
before going up on the plane and the
only chance to to pray CH was there in
waiting for the plane because in the
plane they wouldn't let me stand and out
it would be too late so I standing there
in D taking out
and the whole there were 500 Cowboys
there with their s you know looking
there with the cigars and I there was
the second time I said what am I doing
and then suddenly I became so proud only
Jew there in Dallas Texas putting fing
and
TI and I was very very proud of myself
there yes yes yeah I want to ask you a
question uh did you lose many of your
old friends again new friends obviously
get many friends no I didn't lose
anybody there one we all very very good
friends all my old friends they call me
I call them they come they visit they
love me I love them they cannot do the
step they know in their heart the truth
they know it but they cannot do it the
embarrassment somebody asked yes the
embarrassment and the the it's difficult
today it's it's a fight
what happens to the they do it they do
it in the peripher they do it in B in
they do it in also but is harder all my
friends are in because
is
is what's happening there today yeah
yeah so the it's more and and and the
environment they live with you know they
live with these Bohemians this is
difficult but all over the country it's
happening everywhere it happen to the
children
the children of my of my friends they do
make children they make CH yeah some of
them because they don't care already
they don't they are young they go
so what was the questions yeah I'm sure
again trous friends right no no didn't
lose anyone so basically okay
yes you you miss your work in acting ah
a very good
question I
first I began to learn tah it involved
me so much that I I went into it and I
didn't think about anything else and I
learned more and more and
more I can tell you
today
I I don't miss it at
all on the country you see this film
that I made there was another film I
made the the next film you see see is
mish a a a new film a modern film I
didn't have anything to do with it did
it produced it directed it did the whole
thing from the beginning to the end but
the fil before that I did then was
sitting near the editing table editing
the
room and suddenly I felt like I'm making
up a mommy mumia making up a mommy why
what do you mean
this Photograph this shot that I shot is
there and it won't change forever it's
the same thing nothing moves there it
looks as it moves yes the actor moves
but this is it it will never change
forever so what do I do with it I cut it
shorten it lengthen it make
music I make up a m it will never
changed then I understood the difference
between the life that I live today and
the life I left live there
I was creating yes I was a Creator I I
made I I was a an artist what did I do I
took CID or video whatever you call it
today and I filmed my own ideas my own
dreams of this video cut it put music
into it and showing it today not only
that I lost creative life I won creative
life on a so much stronger level the
difference this the script was written
is written by the
K the actor and the director I me I take
the script and I put the script I do it
in my life I don't film it on the video
I do it in my life I am the material of
this film and I trying to live the
script and the difference is that it is
a living script it you feel alive you're
being born every day a new there's
a my son I give you birth today I give
you birth today you're being born a new
this is the feeling you live Torah as
this friend asked living Tor feeling the
with you in the Tor so the difference is
so huge I cannot go back to this I Mar I
feel bored I
feel so empty I cannot do this
again yes did they support your decision
the filmmakers again the filmmakers did
they support your decision like what was
their
reaction filmmakers not everybody I tell
you one
thing I get today
such sympathetic responses from every
Everybody secular people I never got it
they admired me yes I was a filmmaker I
was an actor but it was different thing
today I don't have anything to do with
media they call me at
least 200 times a year at least every
day I get a call please please please I
don't want to go to them they're
bad they're bad they are doing bad
things they they're murdering people on
the media living people that I don't
want to have anything to do with them
all these people in the media in the
film film industry they I feel their
honor I feel their love they talk to me
but as they never talked ever and we
don't meet each other already for 40
years more 45 years we don't meet each
other
still sometimes I give lectures I give a
lecture in a film
school which there were there at least 3
students you you you should see how they
accepted me I wasn't making fil for 50
years how 40 years at least how they
accepted me they stood up evotion they
they applauded it was something it
surprised me either because the truth is
this in their hearts they know that this
is the truth every Jew every Jew and
when they feel it they don't have the
strengths to do it and some of them by
the way do it
secretly some of them do it secretly
I had a
few not but colleagues telling me very
secretly don't tell
anybody shame to do to do it openly so
they feel it in the hearts so this is my
relation today with the industry K two
points you mentioned that you don't meet
with them and you don't know and inside
their hard are Jews
you the only one is you who can enter
that world NE and all
these and you RAB can create the
Revolution by do mingling with them you
have more power to restrain yourself
than they are they have nothing they go
with the moon they go with the wind they
go with the stream you are like a pill
and you can tell that they would be
impressed from you you would Inspire
them
right to go there and be there and
create that Revolution and you'll come
out winner I promise you thank
[Applause]
you I want to ask you one
thing I tell you the problem the problem
is this if the med if I would be the
manager of the media I would talk to the
people through the media of course the
problem is this they have the seizures
in their hands they cut me I don't cut
them when I say something
important of experience of 40 years I
went
there I will never forget I tell
you I had another friend Gandhi you know
Gand
General Gandhi was murdered by two Arabs
in a hotel in
Jerusalem was afraid a good friend of
mine I went to the television there's a
man called
sh he said you have to go back at the
same word that you said I said I went to
I went to said yeah of course you have
to do it try I went there and made
programs there and the editors of the
programs were there there they they were
the people of the television and I was
making an interview with Gandhi and he
said a
sentence every K
of is sitting on Arab lands what are you
making fuss about it how do you take the
land from the Arab
Palestinians boom boom yeah how do you
do it how do you do this said every of
yes the Socialist Party is sitting on an
Arab BL every K of every whichever
movement is sitting on Arab BL the
editor the person said behind
said this will not enter the I said
my this will not end to the problem this
was the minute I decided this is it you
cannot do whatever you want there they
have the seizur they have the control
they control you they cut you and they
will not give you if yes it will let me
have a program of my own that do with
this whatever I want I'm the director
I'm the I do whatever I want let me once
a week 15 minutes a week that's all I'll
go and I'll do everything of course I'll
do it they won't let you they want you
to be in their programs R it's all end
up with one word money they have Board
of management they have director own
they have I met with these people my
lawyer is yov N I took him there and I
told them if you are going to play
around with religious people either from
Israel or the United States I'm going to
make sure that one language you
understand no more advertising which
company do you own I told them for me to
know for you to find out you will never
know but you see that the budget is
coming down okay wait a minute they
invited me to the ban and I told them if
you're going to restrain K people likeor
you are not there we will talk to you
the language that you understand called
M don't control the money I control the
money that's it okay so we have to talk
to them the language that they
understand if you come to the board of
directors and tell them if you dare to
edit against my will yes they do it they
will understand it because invite you to
come to I will come with you I will
with on Advertising AR lives on ading by
the
way for
he's
extremist
sorry I would imagine uh that it's
probably true that every one of us in
this room without exception meets uh
meets a Jew who as you put it so well
they deep down they know that this is a
med but as you suggested they're lacking
the strength and it stays there inside
they don't go anywhere right perhaps you
could suggest for those people who we
have a personal connection with a
strategy to try to help them build up
the strength so that they can bring
their inner feeling to the surface I you
know even if we are not uh let's say
part of a uh of a of a her of
organization but everybody has such an
opportunity perhaps you could offer a
strategy I understand what you say sir
but this is a a place where you cannot
penetrate into other Soul the will has
to come from the person itself nobody
can make the other one about you no no
one you canot make anybody about you you
can how you say to encourage him well
that's my question how would what to
build the inner strengths of course
people make their own decisions that's
if he would if you would agree to sit
with me and L this I suggested also to
many of them if you agree to sit and
learn with me once a week but to sit and
learn to with me not you know one two
weeks a month two months three months
half a year of course something will
happen to him and but they W don't
they're afraid of doing it also they're
afraid of doing it they know they know
that it
might force them to change their lives
it's changing their life what can we
do says to is I
remember
the of you you change your life you went
after me in the desert it's Mar the same
feeling you leave everything go to the
desert you have to have the strength but
I can tell you one thing nobody will
stay outside
the is this is one thing that you have
to I have to tell
you
is closing up on us closing up on us
it's
like labor before
birth the Arabs around us
with the of they fight each other they
kill each other and they don't but one
minute in one minute those thing can
change and everybody around us Iran
Egypt everybody Sinai we are in the
middle of of and there is a billion
Muslims around us we are a small
island says
who says see now that I the only one
there's no any other power in the world
I the only one who has the power to kill
and to live to give life and this is the
point that we are approaching very close
and this is what people in is feel this
they feel it in the in the conscious
under the conscious you know the there's
no solution all the ID IES were broken
communism kibuts everything was broken
now when they the youth they don't know
they wake up in the morning a boy of 16
years old 17 years old he did everything
he saw everything he does have a reason
to to wake up in the morning the only
the only way to and this is what's
happened in is this is why we approach
you we have to help these people to come
this is bringing the mashiah this in
bring the G this is
avoiding this labor which continues and
goes on and on eases it it eases it it
makes the breast easier softer
this yes the next one and then the will
get up and okay okay thank you yes maybe

leim any more vital
question yes I had a question yes please
uh do you feel that uh your uh your
turning was from the very beginning got
very got the influence of an actor this
way gave it to you to use it later on
but a CH because you can actually
influence a huge amount of so many B
Chas everybody can add from his own
experience you know there are pilots and
doctors and authors and all kinds of
people everybody can add for yourself I
don't think that I got a special
prote
everyone gave you that path to go yeah
yeah yeah of course I'm more famous so I
have my own task but every Jew every
soul is the same
important each one is each one so each
one has his own
task doesn't
get
yes
Pro you
tell he doesn't believe he proved it to
me I didn't said he proved it to me and
told you that he going prove it to
[Music]
you what kind of prove it
was
it's it's a simple
thing the question is this why didn't
the Christians begin their
book the New Covenant with a story that
this person
yes gathered all the people of Israel
around Mount Tav in let's say three four
five million people and he said to them
the the sky will open the sky open
talked to the four five million people
and said to them I chose this man now
and mashiah I chose him why didn't they
begin the book with such a story
what because you cannot invent
historical facts somebody saw him
walking on the water this somebody said
he saw him walking on the water he told
to that 10 people the 10 told you 20 203
100 200 okay maybe he did maybe he did
not somebody so muhamad the same
somebody saw going up he told us that he
saw this is the difference to say in a
book that you stood there and you were
there and you're a part of 5 million
people who saw the sky open you can
invent such a lie it would be a lie you
present it to any kind of people any
kind of tribe say stop I wasn't there I
didn't see my father didn't tell me how
can you such a SLE s a simil thing so
this never occurred to my mind this was
one of the proofs slate I cannot now go
next but one pro you can get a record
from of many that they have many many
proofs yud leev wrote all the proofs in
the book called
H all the proofs are there all the
proofs I just didn't know it they didn't
teach
me so let me please yes please if you
were born if you were born a
not would you
stillw what can I tell you I don't know
what I I I if I wouldn't have the root
of the Kusa in my soul maybe not I am a
Jew and we are Jews and we have a
special task in the
world the gave in each in each heart in
each soul of every Jew and Jewish this
point I'm dwelling in your souls I'm
dwelling in your
insides this is that we have that nobody
has so this is our privilege what would
be happen if I wouldn't be myself I
don't
know maybe there are many going who do
convert yes
maybe sh yes
please let me please give you a I just
finished
mitvah and please you don't have to
approach me
personally I give a to each one about
the woman and the
man
for amen amen
