R' Y.Y. Rubinstein on "Its a No Brainer, DUH!"

I moved to the United States of America which was in 2008 there were two freezers which were brand new to me the first one was it's a no-brainer and I ain't never heard that before and I remember thinking no-brainer something you need somebody without a brain I didn't mean of course it means this is so obvious you don't need a brain for it and there was another phrase which people use and I don't do it properly I don't get it right but I'd like to so forgive me because I'm told this is not how it's really done but the phrases duh it's something like that and again and I suppose it's the same as its no brainer and that's really as I'm standing here in the offices of Kazak here in Queens and what they're doing the work they're doing is a no-brainer it's a duh let me tell you the Durbin I have a very close friend it's called rabbi professor dr. David Gottlieb he teaches a Horace American your jaw line and he's one of the most brilliant minds brilliant man I've ever come across he tells the story himself otherwise I wouldn't tell it however he didn't come from a religious and Orthodox background if I quite quite far removed from that and he told me the story of how he started his journey into the religious world they came from a reformed background I mean he was a young brilliant student somebody suggested that he come and meet a very famous rabbi called the Boston Rebbe who was probably one of the wisest men of his entire generation and so he went to see the Boston early and eventually through that connection it started him in a journey in which he became the famous rabbi dovid early but he said once that the Boston Ruby told him something which is extraordinarily wise and you'll see the connection to Kazak in just a few seconds he once told him what right have you to go and then use the unit phrase what right have you to go for the barrel the difficult cases this is when ruther called he was teaching or Samia finger showing him and speaking all over the world and being part of Ausmus reaching out all over the world his Rama's advice was what right have you to go for the difficult cases the share in the shoulders and when he was explaining this one Stern audience were both speaking together he gave an example he said imagine one day I'll be standing in front of the heavenly court the Dean saw Milo and they'll see and who are you and Rob I go people save me I'm David Gottlieb I used to be called Dale Gottlieb and I come from a reformed background oh when I was nineteen twenty I met the boss in the Rebbe and today I'm a rabbi and tell us about yourself so I taught philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and and I taught there my entire life no he didn't because as you know he teaches or assume it but imagine it was true and he says to the Angels of standing in front of them and you know there were two other professors there a one was a professor there was a communist and the other was a professor who was an atheist were both Jewish and I argued with them and I debated with them and I fought with them for forty years and eventually I succeeded in convincing them that they should become religious and Shama or Tara and mrs. keeping the Torah - and here they are I've got two other neshama 'he's with me who I succeeded in helping to become from but he always imagines the standing of the other end of the room is ten twenty thirty thousand fifty thousand souls who say hey but what boss all the time and all the effort you put into those two you could have made all of us from what right have you to go for the sharing of showers now this is a bit controversial but I'll tell you anyway I was at a certain University a few months ago I was speaking to a couple of the rabbi's for working in campus and they said they're focusing all their efforts now on safar teachers parents and bellerians and they told me why because you see in today's crazy world where the standards the ethics the morals that everybody is supposed to believe certainly University are so different and so varied from what the terror ones the people who still get the idea of a Jewish community aperture each family a mommy a daddy and children if possible staying together forever that's bull Aryans and Persians they've not yet been absorbed into the great big cholan part of what America is they've not yet absorbed all America's values and what people are supposed to think so if you want to succeed if you want to reach out to closed-shell not for the fairness so much for the ones where you're likely to find ten twenty thirty thousand souls are gonna see what buzz we want this message we listen yeah we get that here is its Kazak it's what they're doing reaching out here in New York hearing Queens the people who are willing and able and eager to hear the message which simply explains why there are such large numbers of Jews in New York in the balerion community who found their way home very quickly because of what this organization does so there's two expressions on there when I came to America one was no brainer it's a no-brainer to support this organization and the other one is duh why would you do anything else
