Rabbi B - Lets Go To Shul

[Music] Oh, come on. Where is that? No, not this. No, no, not this. No, no. Oh, come on. Where? Oh, man. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh no. Oh, hi. Welcome to Come Along with Rabbi B. Oh, D'vorah, just look at this. My hat. My old hat. Luckily, Barashem, this was a very old hat that I had. And it was under in the closet under all of those things. I can't believe it. And it's all squished and and and ruined. Let me see. Oh, you know what else, D'Vorah? This hat's a little bit too small for me. Yeah, maybe we should save it for Purim or something. Well, I have an idea. Oh, you want to hold it, D'vorah? Sure. Go right ahead. Well, you know, I think it's time for me to get a brand new hat. And of course, D'Vorah, we are going to the Shul tonight for a very special program. That's right. And I like to wear a nice suit and a very nice hat when I go to Shul. So, I'm going to need to get a new hat for me to go to Shul. Because when you go to Shul, it's important to wear very nice clothes, clean clothes, and even your best clothes. Because the shul is a place where we find Hashem the most. It's like Hashem's home. And if you're visiting Hashem's home, you got to dress the part. It's like visiting a king or a queen. All right. So, why don't you come along with me and D'vorah and we are going to go and get ourselves a brand new hat from my friends at Delissimo Hats and we'll see you there. Come along. Come along. Come along. Come along. Right now, we'll sing together. I'll show you how. Come along. Come along. Come along with me. Come along with Rabbi B. Come along. Come along. Come along right now. We'll sing together. I'll show you how. Come along. Come along. Come along with me. Come along with Rabbi B. We'll say Moda Ani with the morning sun. Get into the mood and join the fun. Let's thank Hashem for everything. Dance around with that Sima feeling. Come along. Come along. Come along. Right now, we'll sing together. I'll show you how. Come along. Come along. Come along with me. Come along with Rabbi B. [Music] Come along with Rabbi B. [Music] Well, I'm here in Bissimo Hats here in New York City with my friend Ley. Hi, Ley. >> Hi, Rab. >> How are you doing today? >> Doing good. How are you? >> Thank God. Barak Hashem, you know, I'm on the market for a brand new hat. You know, we were just talking with my friend over here how I'm going to Shaw this week and I can't find my Shabas hat. So, I need a new Shabas hat and I think Bissimo is probably the best place to come. came to the right place. >> Amazing. So, let's look for some new hats for Rabbi D. Oh, okay. That's a a Mexican sombrero. Let's see if that should be Should that be Rabbi Bee's new hat? A Mexican sombrero. H, I don't think so. I think I need something a little more formal, a little more nice to wear to Shul because Shul is a very special place. Oh, okay. Let's try this one. Let's see. How's that? That is a fez. H. This is kind of an older kind of hat, but I don't think a fez is the right kind of hat or the right color. >> Nah. >> How about we go make a hat? >> Can Can we really do that? Can we make a hat? >> You can make your own hat. >> Make my own hat. That's an amazing idea. Can we do it in blue felt? >> Sure. >> Can I have a yellow ribbon? >> Oh, sure. >> Those are my favorite colors. All right. All right. So, why don't you come along with me and my friend Ley here at Delissimo Hats and we'll go make Rabbi B his own hat. Come along. >> Hats are fun to wear and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are hats for sports, hats for sunny or cold weather, and hats for special occasions like going to shul. Sorry, D'vorah. I don't think they make hats for bees. Hats can come in all colors, too. These hats are some examples of those made here in Bissimo's hat factory. A factory that makes hats is called a millinary. And the person who makes the hats is either called a milliner or a hatter. There are many steps that go into making a hat. First, Rabbi B has to choose the fabric and the color he wants his hat to be made of. Now, Rabbi B has to steam and stretch the material over a wooden hat block to form the crown and the brim. The crown is the part of the hat that sits on the head like a king's crown. And the brim is the part of the hat that extends out and around the crown. Next, Rabbi B has to shape the brim of the hat. Some brims are round, others have a pinch in them. Rabbi B wants a pinch in his hat. Now, Rabbi B has to cut his brim to the size that matches the size of the crown. Luckily, there are special measuring tools to help find the perfect brim size. Rabbi B is ready to cut his brim to size. He has to be very careful when using the cutting machine. Next, Rabbi B uses a special press that bends the brim slightly to give it a more fancy look. Rabbi B also wants to add another color to his blue hat. Perfect. A yellow band to go with his blue hat. Those are Rabbi Bee's favorite colors. The band is sewn onto the hat and voila, a beautiful blue and yellow hat. Perfect for Rabbi B. Steaming the hat helps lock in the shape of the hat and helps create a smooth feel to the material. He even added a custom Rabbi B liner to go inside the hat. That way, everyone knows who the hat belongs to. What a fun idea. Adding a yellow feather to the side of the hat makes the hat look a little bit more sophisticated. That means fancy. A sturdy hat box will keep the hat safe from dust or damage when it's not being worn. All right, Ley. I took your advice and I made my very own Rab I hat here at Bissimo Hats. >> That was fast. >> Yeah. You want to take a look at it? >> Sure. >> Wow. Blue. >> Yep. Cuz Rab likes to wear blue and yellow. So you guys had those colors >> and yellow with the yellow feather. >> Yeah, the yellow feather. Well, that's great. Yeah, I can't wait to wear that to Shul this week and all the weeks that I go to shul. >> All right. It even has the Rabbi B picture in there. >> Yep. That's one of my favorite parts. I'm the only one who's going to able to know that it's in there cuz it's inside the hat, but it'll be my secret. All right. Well, thank you. Oh, yes. That's right. I should try it on. >> Here we go. Let me try it on. Get the Yamaka under there. >> All right. How do I look? >> Look great. >> Amazing. All right. Well, I think I'll wear it out. >> All right. Well, thank you very much, Ley. And thank you to Bissimo Hats and to you. >> We'll see you soon. [Music] O shifty shifty shifty shifty. [Applause] Shifty, shifty, shifty, shifty. [Applause] [Music] David wrote into what he wants to do all day. If you would ask him what it is he wants, this is what he'd say. I'd like to sit in the sh inside the house of Hashem. All the days of my life. All the days of my life I'd like to sit in the sh inside the house of Hashem. All the days of my life. Shifty, shifty, shifty, shifty. [Applause] [Music] Shifty, shifty, shifty. Is this thing on? Hi everyone. Welcome to Rabbi Be's Shul Adventure Tour. I'm your tour guide, Rabbi B. of course. Well, today we're going to be going on a super fun adventure through an actual shul. Now, raise of hands. Who has never been to a shul before? Oh, and raise your hand if you've been to shul many times. You might call it a shul or you might call it a synagogue. Either way, it's like a playground for your nishama, but you're not going to find any slides or swings. Instead, we're going to see some safer toas, some sidur and humashim, and all kinds of beautiful things. You may even see the candyman. All right. Now, just a reminder for our tour today. Please be on your best behavior when visiting a shul. And I'm so happy to see the boys are wearing kipas on their heads and the girls are dressed so beautifully like in their Shabbat clothes. Well done. You really know the proper way to be when you're visiting a shul. So, please keep your yamakas and situs and hands and arms inside the bus at all times because we're about to step into this magical place. All right, as the bus turns around, careful now. All right, here we go. We're about to enter into the shul through the front door. Of course, you'll find muzas on the front doors. And don't forget to give them a kiss or just blow a kiss to them. Well, this is the lobby. Inside the lobby, you can see some beautiful artwork right here behind me. Of course, that welcomes you to the shul and says it's a beautiful, fun place to be. But of course, we know the true way to make a shul beautiful inside is to have people inside like you. All right, the bus is going to now make its way into the main sanctuary. That's where the people go to davin to pray, to learn, and to listen to the Torah. Here we go through the doors. And inside the sanctuary, you can see more beautiful artwork to make the shul look extra special. As we make our way to the front of the sanctuary, you will see all kinds of things, but we're going to go to our very first stop, of course. So, let's have the bus turn to the low. Hold on. Oh, that was a sharp turn. And right here to the to the Beimma. The Beimma is the place right in the middle of the shul where they read the Torah from. That's right. Right on top of that table right there. Yeah, we read the Torah on Mondays and Thursdays, on Shabbat, on holidays, on Roesh. It'd probably be easier to tell you the days we don't read the Torah. All right. Well, we'll make our way from the Beimma. And as we turn around, you'll notice the bookshelves full of Jewish books like Cedarin and Kumashim. Books you need while you're in the Shul. You won't find any picture story books there, though. You'll have to go to the library for those. All right. The shul is about to pass by the beimma too. And as you can see in a shul you will most likely find a sedaka box inside too to increase the mitzvah you can do. All right we're going to pass by the bean now. And now we are heading up to those stairs and we're going to be heading up on top of the stage and right at the front of the stage you will find the lect turn where the rabbi stands and gives his speech on Shabbat his dvar Torah. If you would give a devar Torah, what would you speak about? Probably something very interesting. And right above the Aron Codesesh, of course, is the N tamid, the beautiful eternal light that's always on and shines bright to remind us that Hashem is always watching and that the Torah is always holy no matter what. Wow. Right behind us now, friends, we're about to go entering into the most holiest part of the shul. This is the Aron Codesesh. And behind this curtain, behind these doors, we find the Toras, the holiest things inside Ashul. In fact, a shul without Toras is really incomplete. Ashul is a place where the safer Torah lives. And the in this shul we have three beautiful safer Toras. How many safer Toras do you have in your sh? Wow. I've been to sh where they've had 10 or 11 cay Torah. I've even been to shs where they have only one. All right. Making our way now past the Aron Kodesh to the numbers. Those numbers there. You wanted to know what those are? Oh, those are just to announce to the people in the shul what page we're up to in the shul service. And of course, next to the Aron Kesh and this shul, we have some very special seats. That's where the rabbis sit. And the rabbis are given a place of honor in the shul. And we're not allowed to sit in the rabbi's seat that's specially reserved for him. But there are many, many seats, as you can see, for all the people. There's a men's side and a women's side. That way, everyone can concentrate and focus on their dabing and on talking to Hashem. Well, as we make our way around, you'll notice the makita wall that separates the two sections. It's white and has a beautiful design on it. And as we make our way around, take a look around at all the beautiful stained glass windows and the final view of the shul that we can see everything we just spoke about. The beimma, the aron kodesh, the lectern and the ner tamid, the ner tamid, the eternal light that's always on in the shul. And as we make our way around to the exit, you'll notice some boards in the shul that say names of people who are no longer with us, but we remember them on these special boards. Well, thanks for coming to visit our shul adventure tour. We hope you remember that a shul isn't just a building. It's a place for praying, for learning, and for getting together with friends and family to dive into Hashem. And all the things inside are so important and so holy and are meant to be kept safe and sound. So let's all on the count of three give a great big shul cheer with a great loud sheltastic. Are you ready? One 2 3 shtastic. Great job. Well, we hope you enjoyed your sh tour today here at Rabbi D's Adventure Tours as we visited the Shul. Hope to see you next time on another wonderful adventure tour. We'll see you later. Bye-bye. [Music] Hi, it's me, Mushka Pushka. You know when you're like at Schul and you use a book like a sitter? Yeah. Well, when you're done, you should like put it back where you got it from. It keeps the shaw so nice and tidy. Like in our shaw, there was this rabbi man who totally loved learning Torah all day. He used like a hundred books. It was so many books. But when he finished learning, he put all his books back on the shelf he got them from. If he can do, so can you. Okay, bye. [Music] >> Well, we're learning all about going to shul and what we find inside of a shul. So, today's story is called What a Shul Needs. Let's read inside together. Many years ago, in a small Jewish town, the town's people decided it was time to build a brand new shul. Word spread through the town, and Jews from all walks of life offered to help. Some donated money, others gave materials like wood or stone. Some even offered to share their labor and talents. The entire town buzzed with excitement and a sense of holy purpose. One day a group of children came to the rabbi of the town. Rabbi, they said, we have nothing to give. We are just kids. We don't have money or nails or even wood. We want so badly to participate in the building of the shul, but we have absolutely nothing to offer. The rabbi looked at them with great warmth and said, "Oh, but you do have something very important to offer, something a shul truly needs." Once complete, your job will be to davin and fill the shul with your beautiful voices. [Music] That will make our shul truly the most beautiful shul of all. Wow. It's very true. A shul is a very beautiful building with lots of wonderful things inside. But without people, without you, and without me going inside and davening or learning or playing with friends, well, a then is just a building. We have to make it come alive with our use of the shul. Uhoh. I think I hear Cougle the robot. Let's go see what Kogle has in store today. [Music] [Applause] I knew it was you, Kougle. Hi, Kougle. How are you today? >> Bar Hashem, Rabbi B, how are you? >> Oh, great. Well, I'm doing wonderful, too. Baroo Hashem, >> would you like to hear the question of the day? >> Oh, boy. Yes. We'd love to hear the question of the day. Okay, Cougle. What is the question of the day? >> Okay, here you go. >> Hi baby. My name is Muty and I have a question. Are all sh supposed to look the same? Thanks. Bye. >> Wow, Muty, what a great question and thank you for sending it in. All shuls don't have to look the same. In fact, most shs on the outside look very different. But on the inside, even though they may look a little bit different, they all have the same items like an Aron Kodesh holding caffe. They usually have chairs for people to sit while davening and cidurim and kumim Jewish books and of course people inside as well. You know, I wonder if Kougall can show us a couple of examples of different kinds of shs from around the world. I sure can. >> All right. Okay, Cougle, show us all about different kinds of shoes from around the world. >> You got it, Rabbi B. Kougle the robot presents shoes around the world. There are many shoes around the world. And just like people, there are no two shs that look the same. This beautiful shul is found in Budapest. And you can be sure inside you'll find an Aron Kesh. Here's an old shel from Prague. And inside, yep, an Aron Kesh and a Beimma. And this shul is hiding in an alleyway in London, England. But when you step inside, you'll also find an Aron Kodesh and a Beimma as well. This is the oldest shul in America. And inside it also has an Aron Kodesh and a beima too. And this shul is the Kabad Lubavich headquarters in New York. And inside it has a beautiful tall aron kodesh. The great bell's synagogue in Erit Israel has one of the biggest Aram Kesh in the world. And the hurvashul in Erit Israel also has inside a beautiful aram kodesh bima and all the things you will find inside of a shul. Yes, shuls around the world look different but they all have the same things inside. [Music] >> Wow. Thanks Kle. >> You're welcome. And you see sholes all around the world look very different on the outside, but on the inside they all have lots of things in common. You know, that's kind of like you and me. We don't look alike. We all look different, but on the inside, that's what truly counts. And we are all very similar on the inside. We all have a nishama. We all have feelings. We all have thoughts in our head. We're all very, very similar on the inside. But there are also some differences too. Like some people are more creative and some people are more studious and like to read. Everyone's a little bit different from each other. But Hashem made it that way so we can show true Aava Israel. And of course the best place to meet people that are not like you is at the shul. And over there you can show lots of aavas. Well, thanks Kougle for that great question of the day and for that wonderful video all about different kinds of shuls all around the world. >> You're welcome. >> All right. Well, from Rabbi B and Cougle, we'll see you soon. >> Bye-bye everybody. >> Okay, let's get ready to go to the sh. Let's all walk to the sh. Let's all walk to the sh. Let's all walk to sh. Let's all go to sh. You know I go to shul to dav to hashem. Open up your sitter. Let's all ding in sh. Let's all ding in sh. Let's all ding in sh. Let's go to the sh. And sometimes at shul you get to see a safer Torah. Kiss a tora in the sh. Kiss a tora in the sh. Kiss a tora in the sh. Let's all go to the shoo. Oh, let's show some respect. Always be quiet in the sh. Let's be quiet in the sh. Let's be quiet in the sh. Let's be quiet in the sh. Let's go to the sh. Let's go to the sh. Let's go to the sh. Let's go to the sh. Let's go to the sh. [Music] Hi, it's me, the Torah. Did you know building a shaw is actually a mitzvah? It's true. It is written in the Torah. Hashem says, [Music] Hashem commanded us to build him a holy place. Of course, this really means the bam mikdash, but the rabbis also include building shs in this mitzvah. Everyone in the community has to help and make sure there is a shul in their city so that everyone can have a place to pray and serve Hashem. We are also taught that we can make an even smaller holy place in our very own homes and rooms. By having things like Jewish books and saddaka boxes, we can make our own homes into mini shs. Thanks for listening and learning. D'vorah is going to do a scavenger hunt. She's going to try to find all four of these things in the shul. All right, D'vorah. The first one is the Beimma. That's where we read the Torah. That's right. D'vorah found the Beimma. Okay, D'vorah. Next on the list, the Pushka, the seducka box. Yep. Most shuls have their very own seducka box. So you could do even more mitzvah while you davenin. All right, D'vorah. Next up, the Nare Tamid. The light that's always on. D'vorah remembers it's the light that they put on top of the Aron Kodesh. Well done. All right, D'vorah. Last on the list, the Aron Kodesh. That's where they keep the Toras nice and safe. Oh, D'Vorah thinks she found it. Yep, that's right, D'Vorah. The Aron Kesh is always found at the front of the shul. Wow, D'vorah, you found all four things. The Beimma, the Pushka, the Ner Tamid, and the Aron Kodesh. Well done, D'vorah. You really know your parts of the Shul. Oh, D'vorah, where are you going so quickly? Oh, that's right. Sholes will always have muzas on their doors. Great job, D'vorah. Well, thanks for coming along with Rabbi B today. We had so much fun learning all about the shul and all the parts of a shul. And of course, I have my brand new hat from Bellissimo Hats. Sure, D'vorah. I'd love to try it on right now. We're anyways going to the sh. Let me take it out of the box. And I Oh no. Where did I put it? I had it at the at the factory and I put it Oh, D'Vorah. Wow, D'Vorah. It looks like you added something very special to my hat. Let me take a look at that. Oh, wow. D'vorah, that's wonderful. D'vorah added a little yellow ribbon around the brim of the hat. So now I have a yellow ribbon around the crown and a yellow ribbon around the brim. Oh, that's wonderful, D'vorah. Thank you so much. How do I look? I love it, too. All right. Well, D'vorah, I think we got to go to the shul. We don't want to be late. And we'll see you next time on Come Along with Rabbi B.
