Rabbi Benzion Klatzko on Passover Miami Boys Choir

here's my okay have to do with a concert you came here for music i don't know if you came here for for a valentine but i want to share with you one really quick idea that song reminded me of my original mentor rabbi mayor schuster who was lifted just a few months ago and and he was that first person very humble person that would go over the people of the council and he would say you know are you jewish or you would say what time is it and through that first approach even though it was uncomfortable for him he was able to bring them to a chat and a whole generation of bali chuva came about through mayor schuster's work i was at the university of albany about a week ago and one student came over me and he said rabbi can you give me judaism in a nutshell and and if you can give it to me like in one word in one word so then i'm in and if it's too long and two weighted and two rabbinic i'm not that interested so i said i think i think that could be done and i'll give you the one word the word is called empathy empathy empathy is what pesach is all about empathy means that i feel your pain as if it was my pain the reason that akareshwara would put us in mitzrayim is to teach us this one word empathy remember what it's like to be downtrodden to be beaten to be abused to be discarded remember that and then go out in the world and make the world a better place and that's what basically is going to remind us of so right away who takes us to our sinai and gives us the torah and right after that begins the office and partial smith how to treat an evident why is that the first halacha right after that dibras and the answer is simple because we were just avodah i took you out of my tribe so you could feel the next person's pain when a person came over the hill and said tell me the torah on one foot what did he say on one foot the entire tire and one foot this what is hurtful to you what is painful to you don't do it to your friend and the opposite or make the next person's pain your pain make the next person simcha your simcha it's judaism in a nutshell it's the reason that i spark who put us here on earth it's the reason that we're the amanika to feel the next person's pain so when somebody needs a shirt we are there on the phone or we're making that phone call and the person doesn't call us back we're going to make another phone call and another phone call when we hear that somebody is struggling with their child we're going to be there for them as well whether it's a mahla or whether they're a kid at risk no matter what it is we are there because we know empathy we know pain and we are there as the people who have been taught what lechomoini is we know what it's like bitterness we know what murder is we know what it's like to be better and because of that that's what pesach is all about that's the reason that you are here sitting here in the audience these are not just songs we are not idol worshipping people we don't have jewish idol american idol where a person gets up and everyone votes for them it's not about that it's about hearing words and having them enter our soul because this stuff is real to us music is real there's a real message going on here and therefore i want to give you a little bit of homework dear audience i want to give you one one idea some of you may know i started a website called shabbat.com and how many of you are our members that's great so for those of you that don't know shaman.com allows people to invite guests i want to tell you onshamat.com which has the has come of the good idea there are 50 000 people most of them waiting for a shabbos invite every week of the year there are almanas and the assignment who sit at home eating tuna because no one invites them there are bali sugar who just came back from eric's straw and they go right back off the tariff because no one nobody invites them so we wanted to create a way for clients all to reach out and every week 6 000 people get invited for shops in 112 countries so i'm challenging you to tap into the empathy of clients so tap into the rachmanin become a member and right away maybe for yant of shami and if it's too soon then maybe the first job is be be that person to extend an invitation don't just get on the site but go and click invite invite i want you to join if you can do that you clients will be a a nation that brings the oola through monas and through kaiser thank you very much you
