you a little bit about what Shabbat looked like it at the classo home it was epic it was historic really really was historic going to tell you what happened why it happened and how it affected people and that's going to be the beginning of the show we're then going to move on to uh a an amazing topic um we're going to be speaking about the human brain and we're going to show you an amazing video from the shabbat.com site called hashem. and if you've never seen it we're going to introduce you to something really amazing hashem. comom when we started this website someone said what in God's name is that website and we're going to show you one each week to try to inspire you and enlighten all of us to the fact that the world is not a product of chaos it's not uh it's not random it came through intelligent design that's the almighty and we're going to do it scientifically and we want you to feel really good about this okay so we're going to do that let's do this we're going to do that and then we're going to show how the Jewish people have taken their mission and spread that light to the world because we are a light unto the Nations do you ever feel like you're a light you're a walking light people are looking at you did you ever feel like that sometimes yeah definitely sometimes remember any any time where you're like playing your music and people who weren't Jewish they they they passed you and you you looked to them and and they looked at you and they say wow this guy's normal he's chill he's cool he's spiritual ever happen yeah I was actually in a meeting once and after the meeting there was a piano and the place was right next to a church and one of the people who was there I started playing piano started singing and and she came over and she said can you please please please come and sing for us on uh you know on Sunday oh wow and we I really think that you know you have that you have such a you know a Vibe about you that spirituality and I said I wish I could but I'm busy this Sunday wow so she felt that well I I'll tell you you once composed a song called tati and uh we we made a video of that song you can actually uh find it on YouTube it's a gorgeous song I was literally in tears when I heard this song and I was obsessed with it because it was so raw and real and emotional and I put it on YouTube and we started getting responses not just by Jewish people but non-jewish people were seeing it and they understood tati meant God and they were sending in comments like preach brother like this is like tati tati maybe one of these weeks we can get you to sure to to to sing tati and tati is yish for for dad daddy ABA yeah it's funny in that video that was that was how we met that's right that video is how we met right we said you know if you want someone to play for your group and we played that's right and our voices were so scratched cuz we were playing for like 3 hours and that song goes so high so if you watch the video you could tell like our voices were so shot and yet it didn't matter that our voices were shot because we we were so feeling it and it we meant it like like romak used to say it doesn't matter what your voice sounds like if it's coming from your soul it's that's right that's right you know you know shabak is a relative of mine and I um know that yeah yeah he a relative why did I not know this we have to unveil the layer like an onion just unveil layers like Shrek says right Shrek yeah little bit ogres are like onions just little bit little bit you know sometimes when people when you meet people and they just spill everything that they are in the first 3 minutes there's nothing left there's nothing sometimes sorry stop so um yeah so shom was a cousin so we once invited him over for Hanukah so he came to our home after a concert and we invited a bunch of people to chill with him and he brought some of his groupies and I had some of my some of my friends and he began to sing and his voice was dead in the water the poor man he had just sung an entire concert and he went through Hollow the schak hollow it's not like he he didn't sing and then say you know I can't do it anymore cuz my voice is shot he just kept on singing and at the beginning I was wondering why are you singing like your voice is dead you you could say I just came from a concert I can't do it anymore but he understood exactly what you just said it was never about the voice it was always about the Nisha always always so we're going to delve into that and we're gonna we're gonna speak about how we are lied unto the Nations and we're going to share with you an amazing video from another shabbat.com website called illuminate the world illuminate the world make the world shine be an or and illuminate thor. has all sorts of videos of how Jewish people particularly those who are striving to live Torah lives are making the world just an awesome place so we're going to share that and also we'll sh share some of the new projects of shabbat.com in particular a new project that will be unveiled special to help people find a pesak Seder so that's what we're going to speak about we're really really glad that you're here and um maybe we'll start up with a song we have we have we have Penny over here I know it's like you know this is early in the morning I'm not sure when uh everyone is going to be watching this but it's really not great singing early in the morning some people won't sing until noon so Penny grabs early bird special right. I'm actually I'm really excited to talk about that topic of of how Jews are um you know spreading spreading the mission of love and and peace and happiness and joy because Jews as Jews we get a bad rap by almost everybody um not not to say that like we should feel sorry for ourselves or oh it's not fair it just happens to be right everyone knows happens to be and especially religious Jews a lot get Flack right and I think I was having this conversation we're going to talk about the Shabbat that happened this past week which was beyond amazing I was up till 6:00 in the morning talking with different people about life and love and Judaism and God and the most it was it was amazing I was exhausted but it was so much fun and one of the topics we were talking about was was this idea of is that we got to everything we have we have to give and sometimes we forget what we have to give right over there in Israel I don't know if you guys know this one yet it's by omadam it's called modani if you guys have heard of [Music] it means I give thanks and I admit it's the same word to to thank and to admit when you say thank you you admit you know I needed you I can't do it without you let's hear let's hear this beautiful [Music] song [Music] for [Music] fore [Music] for for [Music] [Applause] [Music] foree for [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foree spee [Music] that was awesome that was so inspiring you know how I learned that song was in my bedroom yeah I was taking a nap it was a long day and it was about 4:00 I'm sleep till 4:00 to 5:00 and then all of a sudden I hear this music playing from down the hall one of my roommates and I was like I got out of my bed I ran into his room I said what is this what song is this and he's like oh it's an Israeli song it's called M I was like put it in my iPhone right now I put it I listened to it for like a week straight all day I listen to that song so amazing you know I remember years ago at least in America the Jewish songs had to come from suim they you didn't find people composing Hebrew words just that came from the heart that didn't come from the sitter or from the Torah and more and more I find that these kind of songs where we express ourselves in our own words but it's in Hebrew it has it has a little bit of a a a sweet Jewish flavor and taste because it's Hebrew but it's in our own words and it may not have n because we're not the an we're not the men of the great assembly but it's so real it's so us yeah I was um I went back to my my 12th grade year Yeshiva where I was in and uh me and my friends played we played a nice little chill for them it was so much fun and our our Waterberry we made an album It's called Waterberry album you can check it out on Spotify and on iTunes and a song on there that I wrote is called Minar from out of from out of the depths the low part is Hebrew from tahim and the high part is English my translation like the a rough um translation of of the tum and I find that it's extremely powerful because the Hebrew has that has that special inner you know inner inner power kind if you you know if you want to look at it that way and then the English because I mean in Israel you guys all speak in Hebrew you understand it but a lot of times in America we don't necessarily understand all the words we're saying so the English is able to to give us the the meaning of the Hebrew and and RAB Kish one of my um he said that you have to havea and Basha the two types of prayer that you have to have are the prayer that God gave to us from you know which is the doing that we say and everything like that praise that we're prais right I'm saying like the you know the the doming that's in the sitter oh that's and that's that's right the actual text and Basha which is your own personal prayer your own inner words your own what you're feeling and and your emotions and what you're going through like you know we say he's Tau you you know your father wants to hear you from your heart not just you true I have a confession I didn't know that you composed it I knew you sang me Namar it's a gorgeous gorgeous song I thought someone else I'm really I'm really impressed see what happens on the show I know this is just just crazy stuff that's a gorgeous song and we have to promote this because if you like Penny and the album or you like his songs he actually came out with an album it is in stores now okay how does he look in the yellow so I have to make a confession the songs are the rabbis the rabbi wrote the songs except for two of them which were written by your son right Alicia which are amazing songs and I sang them and help Play and play the music for a lot of them and so what's your favorite song on the album what's your favorite English song on the album my favorite the song the song Thea song which you can check out on YouTube Type in the song song or type in Penny sha and it will come up it is an amazing song that was that was the fight we had our first fight whether or not we're going to have an English song on this album right and I won that's right and then we had another one about the har at mudes Le yeah but we're not going to talk about that right now the rabbi asked me what my favorite song on the album is and the truth is we made the album in a way that everybody could like it everybody could love it each song is totally different I don't think there's I don't think there's two songs on this album that sound the same that's right so you know the best part is if if one of them doesn't doesn't hit you click fast forward and without a doubt either the next one or the one after that will hit you excellent can we give a shout out to Miriam hot ah Miriam Miriam if you're watching this we miss you lots and you need to come back who's Miriam Miriam is Miriam Miriam needs no introduction although you might say she needs an introduction because you don't know who she is she is one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life without a doubt and she plays violin like an angel she was just featured in the Jerusalem Post this past Thursday yeah did not major article about M men are violent what anyway so you can pick it up iTunes and so on let let's go on to the words that you're just saying because we did not translate them I'm grateful or I thank you for the food it's on the table for the clothing and so on and one of the things that we really need to thank Hashem about is the fact that we even know that we exist because it's not a given in a world of atoms and protons and neutrons and all sorts of things bumping into each other in the night sky to have a brain to have a brain in one's head that is able to compute and do calculations to the point that every moment the brain is doing 10 trillion calculations for instance we're not even aware of it no you're not aware of any of it how could we how could we be doing tons of things and we don't even know that it's happening like how does right the brain the brain right now is regulating your sugar even as you drink more sugar in your coffee you think I need more sugar probably not your I already told you guys I did six I don't think I need your brain is taking care of it your brain is making sure that you don't fall over because it's adjusting your muscles so that if there's too much weight over here your muscles pull you the other way your brain is regulating your pulse and your heartbeat your brain is calculating the fact that you're looking at me and what you're looking at that's right you're like it at me your brain is doing calcul do I know this guy yeah cuz I knew him from here here and here and here and it's making all these crazy connections and it sees my tie that you chose for me nice light blue tie it it is viewing color depth it knows how far away I am and at the same time that your eyes doing that your ears are listening to The Sounds in Stereo and your brain is doing all these calculations and you don't think about it and you're talking at the same time and I'm talking and eating and listening to music and reading I know someone who who he would have food with his headphones in with a book and the TV on now if that doesn't so show how amazing your brain is that you can eat and he a drink over there headphones book and watching TV all the same time you know when you have a thought in your mind that thought raises through your brain at 270 mph that is faster than any legal street car no than any production street car no Production Street car can go as fast as the thought in your brain 270 M hour and even more than that can I share with you can weent we could try it I mean ready there's a fer there's a Ferrari dealer on the 59 right there oh the electricity is flying through your brain the normal person the average person has 70,000 thoughts of day mhm $70,000 70,000 and that's normal if you think way way way too much you can become schizophrenic conscious or subc like you're talking about conscious conscious and subconscious daydreaming thinking right now listen to the words thinking about what you're going to say 70,000 thoughts a day 70,000 thoughts it's it's it's stunning it's not to be understood right now the brain's calculating power is 35 times faster than the fastest computer in existence that means the supercomputers that take up an entire room the average kid in school has a brain that is 30 times faster than that multi-billion dollar computer as a matter of fact in order to get a laptop that is has the computing power of penish shaka's brain you would need how many laptops how many do you think how many laptops equal a person's brain my brain or a person's brain I would say an average person not like an extraordinary person like you I have no idea 100 I mean I'm going to go high here I'm going to guess 500 computers 500 computers each one with gigs and RAM and a hardboard and memory and Graphics 500 laptops says Penny the actual number of computers that are needed laptops are million oh you stop you you gave a pause after 100 I was like oh I was too high you're like million oh my oh my God 100 million laptops that's your brain and what did you pay for that 100 million laptops You' be broke you'd be broke but what did you pay for your brain nothing nothing mod that's the song that's the song to appreciate [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the human brain it's one of the most powerful machines around simulating a single second of its activity needs almost 85,000 processes the brain is a multiscale very complex and we have to we have to look at all the different levels of detail to understand there's still so much we don't know scientists from across Europe are using Decades of research already done on brain function to build a working model of the brain and simulated on a supercomputer it's an enormous task they've got 10 years and more than 2 billion dollars to try to make it happen on the long term towards the end of the project our goal is to have an excess scale supercomputer so this is an extraordinarily fast supercomputer um that would be capable of running a simulation of the human brain at the level of individual cells there's one problem the technology it doesn't exist yet if scientists are going to simulate the brain they're going to need a computer that's 35 times faster than today's supercomputer that's as powerful as 100 million laptops with the project set to last 10 years it may be a while until we start to see results the brain is a mass of 100 billion nerve cells between them they generate enough electricity to keep a light bulb Burning For a [Applause] Day the cells communicate using electric impulses each impulse is a tiny fragment of thought or memory [Applause] when we hear a new word my grandpa's veteran our ears convert the sound into electrical impulses in our [Music] brains the brain can learn because the connections between brain cells aren't permanent the brain rewires itself nerve cells send out tendrils called axons constantly forming new connections the cells meet at a tiny Gap called a synapse chemicals bridge the gap to allow the impulse to continue the [Music] chain the new connections form a pattern a new memory we learn by making new connections between brain cells and then reinforcing them through repetition the stronger the reinforcement the more likely the memory will [Music] stick what does the word veteran mean when someone asks us to recall that memory the same pattern of axons fires and the memory comes along [Music] live our brains respond by sending messages to the nerves that drive the muscles in our arms we raise our hands me Miss in childhood our brains are primed to learn and they're growing fast the rapid growth allows our brains to easily form new connections sometimes we look at what we don't have I don't have a nice enough Voice or a nice enough figure or I'm not tall enough my eyes aren't blue enough my you know I'm not fast enough my my kids my wife my husband my job my car and we focus focus on that and we forget to say modan KN when we're centered and we think wow I'm just going to take a moment I'm going to meditate study to say that if we meditate on what we have we develop a Serenity that allows us to be healthier smarter live longer lives it's just meditating on what we have the peace the serenity take a moment that's Shabbat when you think about it that's Shabbat this week I put this on Facebook it was a crazy thing this week my or last week actually my computer 500 gigs died died bar Dian EMS it died I brought it to Best Buy I brought it to the the the Apple store so I figure at least I have my phone with my information I did something crazy I put my phone and upside down in the case and when I went to press it on instead I rebooted it a factory reset so I lost 10,000 contacts so everything on your phone right now is gone gone pictures messages my calendar my calendar I'm supposed to speak somewhere on Tuesday I don't know where oh my gosh and then I did the ultimate stupidity whatever Hashem is teaching me a lesson I deleted by accident on my own shabbat.com account did it and I had on there 50,000 messages I had invitations for the past seven years with feedback it's like Mark zerber deleting face I know it's it's crazy so I turned to my wife I said to my wife my dear wife I uh I hope Hashem erases my a he should delete them the way that my account just got deleted and then you know just deleted delete the A and then you know what I realized what Hashem would probably say I'll tell you what you delete any animosity you have towards anyone else anyone who ever hurt you they Dishonored you they they made fun of you in whatever way they transgressed against you you delete that you give them a factory reset and then I'll give you a factory reset so you know what I did I did it I did it I turned to my wife I said that's it anything that anyone has against me or maybe I've against them maybe somebody at some point in my life did something to hurt me deleted gone the hard drive is it's wiped clean everyone's good hard thing to do definitely not the easiest you know what that's the lesson that's the lesson so we start with a new computer hopefully start with a new clean phone and a new Ledger with Hashem a new ledger so um this Shabbat we had an amazing group um amazing beautiful legend wait for it wait for it Dair Legend legendary wow wow wow we had a large group of students many of them from Staten Island who were Jewish by name and birth but they did not know much about their Judaism as a matter of fact we went around the room by shakas on chabas and we asked how many have never been to a Passover seder one after the next had never been to a pesak Seder could you imagine even people who are disconnected are connected on some level on PES zero and they came for shabas and then we said how many of you have not had a bar mitz how many of you don't have a Jewish name one after the next didn't have a Jewish name so we made a bunch of bar mitzvas we scraped up all the candy that was left from PM we had plenty of candy and we called up the first person and we said what's your name ardam what do you want your Jewish name to be says what is ardam so we went around the room and people felt Aaron or Aon Aon he I like that I said' look this is like a big deal a Jewish name is going to be on your marriage certificate you know it's going to be on your Tombstone after 120 years your M SAA you sure you want Aon so he said what was he known for ah was AR known for Shalom shom loved peace he goes That's the man I want to be so we called him we called him up Aon I missed that yeah no it was it was was amazing then the next boy what do you want your name to be he chose David schlomo what a name David schlomo one after the next on one hand what are we doing to our kids why is it they don't they've never been to a PES seder on the other hand the days are coming there's excitement in the air people want Judi is do you feel see it from the second from the second I walked into the door I came a little late we russing got here A whole bunch of people from the second Shabbat started their eyes look like they were on fire not just that you know when someone's eyes look on fire and they haven't really ever been on fire you could tell it's this fresh like whoa I've never seen this before what's going like the phones are away the nice clothes are on the good people are around we're in an amazing home with amazing people amazing food the energy in the air it's it's it's palpable it's it's not just it's not just beautiful it's not just wonderful but it's elevating and when you know that you're in a situation that that is a is a inspiring elevating spiritual situation it's so you just all the worries go away and shabas it just brings this this Clarity and then and and everyone's free to actually think about things that they don't we don't think about during the day I had an hour and a half conversation with somebody and afterwards I said you know how this would never happen if either of us had our phone with us with us not even on with us we may have gotten 5 minutes wow maybe 10 minutes wow the phones are gone and we had conversations with everyone was just talking and and fun conversations comedy enjoyable singing deep conver everything and by unbelievable by the last meal people were already thinking about the role that Judaism has to play in their lives so I took out a box of gifts these were zirot uh Prayer song books for shabas they were very nice leather leather bound each one and I said look whoever wants to make a commitment on some level to do something Jewish I'd like to give you a gift and a large group of students maybe eight or nine students they said we want to go to Israel to study some Torah and they all stood there and I gave them the books and then two of them said we want to Doan and then one guy who nobody expected to he got up and he says I want to do Shabbat is it Chris yeah I want to do brother Chris could you imagine one golden chabas one special sweet treasure the most precious treasure shabas Hashem says I took out treasure I put it in the Treasure House and it's chabas and he show people what how beautiful chabas is and it actually ties into your song because we could think about how grateful we are when we're not rushing we stop and ah the smell the smell of chabas the music everyone's dressed to the nines wow you know I had a thought thought big thing that's happening now in the world with most people I want to say most people a lot of people including myself is anxiety a little bits of depression a lot of thought not be our thoughts are erasing without the ability to stop them and so now one of the biggest things is meditation everyone's into meditation everyone's into you know yoga and all these things but like meditation and everyone there's many different ways to meditate and there's different um people understand it as different things there's many different ways to meditate how to do it what you're doing but it's it's a big thing now everyone's saying you know you want to calm your mind meditate and I was thinking that people always a lot of people say that the Torah Judaism that was that was for that was for back then right it doesn't apply anymore it's not it's not it's not for present day and I was thinking that you know somebody said over Shabbat he said to me what is truth truth is something that stands the test of time that it will never change it will always be the same if we're having an argument about what's true the fact that I don't think it's true doesn't mean that it's not true it'll still be true true Judaism the Torah is true forever and what applied then will always apply now but what I was thinking was you say that Judaism the Torah is for back then and not back not for now if there was ever a time when the world needed Shabbat there was ever a time when we needed a way to put everything away and be where we were it's now in 2017 so not only is it the most beautiful thing in the world but how did somebody know you know 6 whatever many years you want to say it was that today we would need Shabbat more than we ever need because during the week do you know that right now this unbelievable this the past two weeks Shabbat is in the news Vogue magazine is one of the top style magazines one of the top magazines in the world and they had an article last week about taking a break for Shabbat Vogue are you serious Vogue had an article about taking a break for Shabbat having a Shabbat meal turning off your phone Vogue and the alamer journal then quoted that and they made an article about it and then the JC another uh online a major online publication how people are taking a break for Shabbat Shabbat is the treasure that everyone's coming back to imagine like this money paper money recession inflation depression so what do they say you want to invest for the hard times when the economy collapses gold you hold on to gold gold will in general retain its value it won't be worth nothing in Germany after World War I the Depression was so great that people were taking the German Franks and using them for wallpaper they had so little value th000 Franks wallpaper it was worth nothing it's cheaper than actually getting pain cheaper than actually getting painted so today we're really confident in the almighty dollar but dollar is not worth what it used to be and who knows what's going to happen America owes China so much money you know I don't want to even go there what are we doing about that2 trillion dollar is our deficit now so what do they say hold on to Gold it's solid you could put the gold underneath your bed put it in a locked chest and when the economy collapses you've got your gold so I'm using that as a masal as a parable you know what the gold is it's Shabbat it's the treasure when everything else in this world that seems like it has value from Cars to jobs to prestige and honor when all that collapses when life takes an ugly turn you always have Shabbat to fall back on it's always there it's amazing and you know what the most amazing thing about Shabbat is it's there every week if you're ready for it it's there if you're not ready for it it's still there it's still waiting for you and I I so much find that on Shabbat you actually see people during the week we you could be you could be in a room filled with people so you're at a business meeting or you're at a luncheon or you're at um it could be anything we're so busy in our minds that I see I say hey what's going on how are you good to see you ah great have a nice day is great to you don't we don't look at each other in the eyes we don't have that that peace of mind to look at someone and say wow it's true so it it actually is good to see you you know it's it's funny the the you know we have over here the Shabbat mugs see Shabbat giv a nice clink yeah isn't it and we want to thank Sarah Sarah B for sh thank you Sarah Sarah's my secretary and she's an awesome person human being she's like like our Angel but before it was called Shabbat guess what it was called shabbat.com chabas docomond chabas then we'll have time to talk see you on shabas as a matter of fact if you go and put in see on shascom it'll take you to shabbat.com still let's let's tell you about an an initiative that shabbat.com is doing and then we're going to go on to the illuminate the world and then another song then we're gonna wrap it up because you've been an amazing amazing audience and have we we uh really want to share with you so much goodness and um so much we need to accomplish as individuals this week not next week this week so so shabbat.com is a website and an app we have about 100,000 members and it's got jobs and dating and shabas invites that's great but what about PES what about pesak now the truth is you can go on sh shabbat.com and find a place for pesak but we decided we need to make a special website that you can go on and without all the social network aspect you could go on and simply find a Seder so what do we call it sedar.com there we go s.com make it simple yes sedar.com all it is is s d rider.com you go on and find a place and it's going to be an app called the Seder app and it's coming out this week oh my gosh this week we've been working on it re you don't stop no this man right here doesn't stop he has an idea what needs to be done in the world doesn't matter how much it's going to cost or what it's going to take the rabbi's like yep yep let's do it got it we'll figure it out we need to do it we need to do it you know 93% of all Jews have been to at least one seder except for the people came to shabas most people have been to a Sader and if you want to go to a Sader and you don't want to have family nearby or you're becoming a little more religious or you're not becoming but you want to experience the Redemption of the day and you don't know how to put a Seder on yourself what are you going to do so now you'll just go on to the Seder app and you log on you sign up you log in and it'll show you all the hosts nearby who are looking for pesak guests for seder guests we want you guys to use it because we want to bring mashiach we want everyone to feel that just like once before we were redeemed we were taken out of a difficult situation Hashem could and will do it again so s.com and the Seder app it's also cool about that is we can we can experience Redemption I don't to say redemption is very like it's an interesting word we experience inner Freedom inner Freedom when we connect with something deeper than ourselves yeah we connect with other people we connect with the world we connect with tati we connect with the Torah we feel an inner freedom because whenever we're thinking about us we're not free I I I was having this conversation again over Shabbat when you're when I'm sick right what what what am I really what brings me down the most my physical condition the I'm hot I'm sweaty I'm I'm not feeling so good or is it my brain saying over and over and over oh you're sick you're sick I need to sleep is it's more it's more my brain it's not as much my physical actual unless unless you're like really really really really but like it's our it's our mind so because we're thinking about us we're always thinking about us me what's going to be I have to get to work I have to do this I have to do that if you ever think about somebody else you become free inside absolutely when people are depressed and they come to me Rabbi I'm not feeling good about myself my first question is what are you doing for others because when we live lives that are very internal that are very self-centered then we feel lonely we're on our own Island even though we're amongst many people and therefore we have to do for others and speaking of doing for others I want to mention this amazing lady I'm going to show you a video on illuminate the world her name is k lipitz and she's just a wonderful lady from B Park and she's a religious lady and she made it her cause to spend her free time finding kidney donors and finding kidney matches and that's what she does she just goes online she matches up kidney donors with people who need kidneys and she does this all the time and she says this is what the Torah taught me this is the kindness that I want to spread to the world so let's let's watch this amazing video of K [Music] Flatbush resident Anthony cman is walking around healthy and strong after having a kidney transplant more than two years ago and I found out that most people are not really ready to give up a kidney even though you just need one good kidney to to live a normal life most people find it something very extreme it was hard for Anthony to find a donor that is until he met haa lipshits of burrow Park haa is what you'd call a kidney Matchmaker she voluntarily spends her time posting ads online in order to set up kidney donors with eligible recipients I donated a kidney um after seeing an ad in the newspaper for someone who needed a kid and since my kidney donation I've been wanting to do more and wanting to do more is an understatement she dedicates her life to kidney matchmaking and helped Anthony find his perfect match I feel great I just having the freedom to go and come as I please not having to be tied to a machine 3 days a week three and a half hours a day is is just fantastic K's name means lifegiving in Hebrew a name that she's living up to Anthony and other donor recipients say they're lucky to have her right here in Brooklyn reporting from Flat Bush Dana aren news2 Brooklyn wow wasn't that an amazing video it's incredible Indescribable and it actually hits home to me because um when I was conceived my mother my mother got kidney disease oh wow maybe a little before I was conceived and um it's a crazy story maybe we could talk about it once to show that there's a plan because it doesn't really make sense how everything worked out out and have like when you're in that situation I can't even imagine but when you need a kidney you need and how am I how are you going to and you have somebody who dedicates their life to doing that people always I it's funny someone told me that also I I'm I'm in a terrible situation and I said pick one thing that you can do more than anybody else to help other people and and that's when we feel alive that's when we feel whole that's when we don't feel so bogged down because not about me that's true and if if you needed the kidney you would want somebody yeah I I'll tell you when you do things sometimes Hashem allows that masle and that braa to come back to you great quick story I have a student named Y and um she was going through a tough time in her life she lost her mother she decided to donate a kidney and when she went to donate that kidney she met a young man named Zack who was going to donate his kidney and they fell in love and they got married so there you go she was giving a kidney and she found a husband wow and they're actually hosts on shabbat.com they're really big host they invite a lot of people it's that same giving that same giving that uh transcends just one act that just you become a giver yeah so how about a song we can sing a song how about a song we've got an awesome song which are we're going to sing P yeah this is this is a song of love we speak about how Hashem is our lover and how we feel so close to we feel so close to Hashem uh we hear hashem's voice and that voice says come I'm open to you be open to me and that comes from your first song mod an when we admit and we thank then we feel gratefulness and from that gratefulness comes tremendous love the Kish says that that I'm sorry vas says how are we commanded to love Hashem we're commanded to love Hashem by just meditating on all the things that he did for us when we think and realize how much goodness we've been recipients of we not say wow tati I love
