Rabbi Benzion Klatzko - Parables for the Days of Awe

hello welcome welcome and it is before Shoshanna my name is Ben see uncle iets go and I'm not afraid with persons just want to say that I enjoyed my Persian food and I mentioned a lot of family from Shiraz so and and in our house on Diana we do that also scattered so that instead the truth of the matter is it's always good to speak to a as far as your crowd it goes it going we're good okay it's always it's always good because there was a concept when the shots party came out child in Israel so their original the original tagline for shots was laughs after Leo Chanel which means to return the crown to its glory and the you know people asked what was the why that why are there such as why are the differences between ashkenaz inspired like where did that come from and that interesting question but I come from and they we all started off together to say bye-bye her see my it it development because each group of Jews had to offset the influence of the non-jews around them so the Ashkenazim have to offset Christianity so them and hug them were built the fight Christians and it's why them in general in the Muslim countries so they're minagawa to fight Islamic however today it's times of Messiah and we know and the times women show the very last battle is not going to be with ASA but it's gonna be with Ishmael that's the last bet you smell and therefore who's who was the most fit to fight Ishmael those who built their Yiddish Skype to fight the smile so that's locked in I have to go and maybe the leaders of the Warriors so I have this this desire to connect to go though them and in the Scottish the world I just got something recently very precious in my home you know the Baba sali so the but was not a Jew was good job Ayodhya you know the the hood that he used to wear so I got the bubble salary of life at home you go with the hood that he used to wear and I got a you know I got for our family and I went to yeshiva as smart as she is she wasn't my brothers or she she and I told him here's what we're gonna do you'll offer any of the buckaroo who whatever you want is that an issue if it is your moussaka they finish it parent the rewards gonna be they can come to my house we'll pick a little as I am for chef up and they'll put on the gym blood and and it will take a picture of them so right I myself haven't put it on scared like my bones gonna burn you haven't scary stuff anyways so for those of you who are watching that's gonna be on Torah anytime so we are in the middle of the show and Kurdish fellow is the month where we prepare I just ran a trip to the Eretz Israel and one of these Israel chips for Peru and on our trip we teach the months of the year because you don't know the months of the Jewish here believe it or not you're a great handicap because in the non-jewish here a non-jewish here we speak about October November Thanksgiving December you know they've new year it's so on the great if you live in a Christian country like we do in America so you see the stores and they have lights and music but we as Jewish people we have a totally different wave of the year and the wave of our year is Jewish and it feels different just to grow up in America then no labor day is they you know what mothers day is you know what but you know what does it mean the month of me son what does it mean the month of Adar the joy unbridled what does it mean the month of Elul so I taught my students I teach my students the names of the month and I do it in a song but these are not religious kids and they learn it in these son years Steve Van Dam was up hello and and I make them sing it a few times until they know the months by art and then I felt guilty what happens in each month so I got up to the month of hello and they said rabbi whatever he's an elder so how do you explain that hello there's no holiday level and yet L is one big holiday what's been holiday it's not like braggers stop drinking it's a holiday it's a special time when we do special things in L o is the time where were swimming through to Shubin we are we are the idea of children it's very different I was young I went to tells the Shiva and it tells the Shiva to wake up the bottom in the morning they would put on and my days it was a tape but Cosette day and I probably to mp3 today and then piped over the loudspeaker to wake people up so instead of knocking on their doors no get up shoppers instead they put on this music to wake everyone up and an L o someone made a a recording and they used to play this recording him there's taken from a nod to his song but you probably have heard the song before ever hear the song celebrate good times come on very famous so instead they would sing they play over the loudspeaker in tells a yeshiva ellos Truvada time come on and we'd go out to the halls we dance in our pajamas to vote on camera hello Judith on it felt different felt so I try to explain that that's what L is so what I want to do today some have never done before in any of my talks I thought it would be interesting and it's the following in the olden days there used to be a position in the Jewish community called imagine I don't mean how government is right that's what do you say mama stop but there was a man called Michael what was a market we don't really have a market there a miner was somebody who has paid money to go from town to town [Music] encouraging people and inspiring them to mend their ways to rectify their ways that's what a maggot did so the Vilna Gaon who was the great genius of the generation and many generations before even though he knew everything he had a maggot mender bianco known as the dog new market and that market would give him massage today or when i was gone the last of the money they passed away what were their names the names were rabbi jean Chadron and ravi active Galinski those were the last people who walked around and they were known as monkey did they were brought in by his Sheba just to inspire people however something very unique happened a man by the name of rabbi Pesach Crum wrote a book and the name the book was called the Magan speaks geoffrey of the magazines and the very first maggots speaks book he told stories over a from jean Chadron and he would say this for the manga used to say but then he came out with another maggot book and then another one soon rabbi crowed was walking going around speaking yes what happened he sort of became a market so actually my give them still do exist today they're people who go to inspire commuters Charlie Harari is probably an old-fashioned magnet that's really what he is right today they're inspirational speakers all my kids by the way than I do too but still they found a way to get their message out there so the magnet in general had a very clever way of inspiring people and they would do it through in my shop what's in my shop we all know it's a story to help us understand the concept sometimes if you tell a person you know you are wicked you are wrong right you say you are you're Donnelly is a joke so here that hurts so instead you say well there was once a man and he went in front of the king and this pin was that's me Jane Jacobs I sham and I'm the man and we it's it's like a spoonful of sugar helps medicine but it just allows us to accept words of throw haha so what I wanted to do is I wanted to make a talk that would be completely out of Micheline now I thought it'd be interesting I don't want it's story time so he doesn't like that but it's the stories that allow us to understand ideas and I'm gonna start it with a bats amazing story that the balls dipped opener maggot himself and it's connected this lahood this is not a well known story but it's a fascinating story and it has a few parts to it now if you live to the times of the donor market you're talking about the seventeen hundreds so everyone heard of the donor manga the good reminder for the thing is today if someone is famous so with pictures we share series of them you could send our Monica seven on whatsapp in the olden things it was doing possible to hear the name of somebody but I have no idea what they looked like so for example the Duke the maggot was very famous he was somebody went around and he inspired people but unless he came to your town you didn't know what he looked like so you know what ended up happening know what happened there were imposters who pretended that they were the donor market this that really happened they would go around they would say I'm the doorman on all your them the miner come speak and they would get up and they would speak and I would speak and so at any given time in Europe there were five double-minded seeking the different shoes and no one really knew whether you were listening to the real don't know market so it happened more than once that the dinner market ended up in a shul not to speak you just have to be true when the doctor minded came to speak and it was the most bizarre thing and the road would say we live not like the acid under my get the sea and a device I wasn't plan and then this guy would get up and everyone stand up and they pointed my bag it was watching hey so I'm gonna tell you what a story before the story it's a very funny story it happened once the maggot was sitting there and someone else came up to speak and he was speaking and he is saying some of the government stories say that he didn't just pretend he was observing a market but he plagiarized the the material like comedian fixed it he's just sitting keep them for myself except that as he was trying to say the big child when he got to the punchline he messed it up and then he messed up a story so start off good and then he got worse so finally Durham I get 40 cities listening to his terribly like roasted he can't take it anymore so he stands up and he says I can't take this anyone there's his boring sit down don't remind him speaking he says do me a favor please I need to share with you on my shuttle it's like who's want you he says just listen he said there was a poor man who was once invited to a to a wedding of a very fancy wedding and it was supposed the food was gonna be amazing Scott was so poor she while this is gonna be amazing I'm gonna be able to eat so well and they decide it's gonna fast that taste I can eat anything so they're at the wedding he'll be able to eat a lot well he's waiting and waiting and the globe ah there was a Persian wedding so it's supposed to be at for 6:30 rolls around they're still eating the crunchy rice right they're not getting to the food where is the food and this poor guy you starving he's starving starving started he can't he can't wait so finally he ran home quickly he got some of his old hearing hit some hearing you know and it just eats it to these hundreds a poor man cheering then he comes back and then what do you know he comes back they're good Bob and then right away they're putting out a big spread and he looks at all this food and he just ate the herring but now he's hungry so he could just eat more and more and more and more and heat circulates to meet the needs the fancy fish and then he eats too much and eats and Subway's I'm feeling sick and people he's feeling sick the man's really sick he's gonna throw up and then in front of the father of the katana right there right on the wall he vomits on the dance floor and out comes the meat that out comes the chicken out comes all the fancy food and then in the end comes the herring unconcern so the father of the abduction I don't understand that the meet I know where you got that from the chicken I know it but I didn't serve this hearing where did this come from says it's Dylan imagine okay I'm listening at the beginning you're saying good Torah it's interesting it's coming up but then all of a sudden I'm smelling hearing it's not so it's a good smell what are you doing so that's the life that during the market so this is a second story more complex a wonderful story that is Volvo split coat and here is this story so it happened that the door Ramanujan came to a show and he was invited to come to be the speaker he was actually invited it was excited you know I know how excited he gets to speak but she was the speaker however the president of the show had invited the person we thought was the drum the Magon the the ruther sent a message that ended up in the real dr. hodgins hands so in shul came tooth of the magan's the real one and the imposter and when the rough says we'd like to ask the Vilna manga to come up and speak to the killer from both sides two men walked up they look at each other they look at each other and done their mind it says to them who are you he says I'm the don't mind you for you he says you're not the do my market I haven't derma maggot so everyone was confused because nobody knew what the donor money look like so no I do so the rub was stuck you can't one of them is clearly a liar one of them is the famous term the Magen are we don't know which one is which so what do we do and then were stuck so the donor my kid says I tell you what let's have a con and what we're gonna do whoever wins in this contest is the real governor market so what the contest the contest is open to any place in this reader and open to any place in the home us and you have to create a Marshall a story to help you understand based on whatever verse we point to in the page of the truth we're gonna open up the scissor point to a line point to a line open up as much point goal line the realtor Remagen has to make a story about both of them and as to connect the stories together that's a challenge right so we're opening up this adorable mush and let's connect the stories and the real governor michael says to the other one okay you start the owner how much does this adorable and King to sleek old they cook the following words the Wordsworth Misha Anna LeBron Avenue Armory we are naming me Sean Elliott hug Shan I cannot come this back we I mean whoever answered I brought this Kakaako should answer us then they open the mush and in the collage they came to the words low yo I'm only on my hobby because I said some who was a Mojave shouldn't a Moabite should not join should not be allowed to join Judaism shouldn't be allowed to join the Jewish people why shall keep you a nest egg but let's go over mine because they didn't greet you with bread and water so the real builder Magath us okay you have two verses take these two verses take these two verses combine them and make a story about them so the faith don't imagine couldn't do it two versus you remember one verse from silicon whoever answers are brunettes Kakaako should answer us the second verse the verse one little Masha we don't let an ammonia more oddly join the Jewish people because when the Jewish people left Egypt and they have to pass through I'm on a more huh they didn't give you bread and water connect these two things the sinner of around its Kakaako table on a Mojave and make a Michelle out of it the imposter couldn't do it know what to do there was time for the donor minded it wasn't carefully during a maggot said okay we're gonna explain both of these verses the first verse whoever listens to America by occupation answers we have to start with them Michelle here's the Michelle a person is a visitor to a town and he passes a clothing store and he sees a beautiful suit he says how much is the suit the man says it's $300 it's a lot of money a lot of money so then they you know he's like church and he by not he's waiting back is a visitor in the town he doesn't know the price but then another man comes in asked for the same kind of suit and the man says how much 300 the man's I can't pay 300 okay you'll pay a hundred a hundred that's amazing so when that man leaves the visitor in the dumps okay give me that tooth and I'd also like it for $100 his loans 370 pronto but you just came if the in fir'aun's with his Merrill you're not him you're not gonna you know he is he's a regular customer he comes all the time he's making a wedding I know his family buys from you all the time I know they're good they're going to take good care of you so I gave it to them for on $2 but you I don't know you you're not even from here so your painful price is no buyer says that the Remagen that's question number one how can we say whoever listens to Romney it's not be hypo he's reinsurance I promise now look what they did that they have credit by a chef of the hanshan the hundred-year is willing to bring up the Sun get some Jakob but you were you how can we top up their showmanship if you answer them answer us you're not dead that's question number one citizens of their market okay story number two but he's going to connect all the stories okay it was time for the wedding and the families that were getting married one family lived on one side of the river and the other family lived on the other side of the river and the family of the bride it was time for her to go over to the groom's side so they can get married and they had to cross the river and this was the winter so the river was all iced over while the Fatherhood bribed the father he says go before me Coweta me I'm going to come soon in my own horse and buggy but you come a little bit before I go to the wedding get prepared so the mother of the bride are going to cross the ice when suddenly they hear a crack and then another crack and then suddenly the ice opens up and the horse and the carriage fall in and everything everything is in the word city and the water is freezing and last minute they're able to grab the mother and the daughter out and pull them to safety someone comes running to the father who and when he went left it to the wedding and tested his father something terrible what happened you don't know but you were white and the bride you're doing they were going across the ice yes and the ice crack and what happened Epicurus felon yes at the horses gone lost yes and and the presence all got all the president's underwater no one's ever gonna get them yes yes tell me about my life Chuck oh they're okay fathers what are you doing to give me a heart attack well I care about my wife I don't care about horses okay the worse is trying the characters the depressants start off by saying look your wife is okay your daughter is okay and then say okay but look you lost the carriage in the presents you got to make them up says the film the market question number two why is it that we say we can't join a monomer off because they didn't give bread and water she'll keep us company with her mind it should have said a much greater reason why I'm on a Mormon join you you know why what are the king of all who tried to do he tried to hire bill um to destroy the Jewish people if the curse says they kill them the fact that he wasn't hospitable is nothing compared to that that he wanted was dead so the Torah afterward says that but why why doesn't it start with them if you start by saying first of all they shouldn't join you because they wanted you dead and besides the point they don't have Jewish they don't have a Jewish taste to them because they won't give you bread water but instead it sounds with no bread no water I just hope we're gonna try to kill you that's question number two I now the con games like wow he just took two verses he made a story that connected both of them and he has two good questions but now we need have two good answers he continues the dinner market the real one and he says okay the marriage went off without a hitch and the young man who got married the shut down he was a big Torah scholar he was a victim Makoto and the father had agreed the father won't agree I'm going to support you you want to learn as long as you want to learn you're a big topic awesome I'll support you but after a little while his wife and I want a guy who's learning I'm so happy the father was I'm not gonna help I don't want to help so much but he promises to help at one of the things he did was he gave me food so what he started doing was he started giving him less less food used to give him meat give me chicken fish then just bread and cereal bare bones the food decreased but this I thought he didn't to study better he didn't stop we didn't leave I'm studying I'm studying and the father was getting so anxious like I don't want like I'm studying my daughter's miserable let him go get a job so finally this father was I don't have to do and there happened to be a woman in the town he was a match a fight she was like a whip she she had the power of curses said he goes to this my shape I existed the mouth shape up listen my son-in-law you know I'm starving him and he's still learning let's just kill the kid kill the I get my curse let's be through with him that's it gave a lot of money to my Schaefer the day was gonna come at this much Schaefer is gonna kill the son alone but the son will find out about he finds out that this was the plan and it takes his father to the rug of the city and the father-in-law says David and and he says to the rather the city look what he's doing to me he's not giving me food he says there's a truth yes I can't says the father I can't get into it I'll be getting poor I don't have money I don't have money in my kids like I wanted with beginning I gave her meat but now I'm a poor man I'd only have that much money I can't give him so much meat doctor of says you're a liar you do have money you know I took that money and he gave it to the Marche for the killing you said you're not money but I proved you that you did says that there was a market that's what the tour is doing when the Torah says that I'm on a more cannot join me because they didn't bring you with life and mind with bread and water what's the first thing the tourists say no they're gonna sing wrong and that money I didn't greet with bread or because I was poor yeah but you have enough money to pay Philip didn't to curse the Jews right you daddy you didn't have enough money for him and that's why the tour begins with that Noddy answer this the very first question that we started with that why do we say whoever answered our own get stuck again cause she answers we're not them on that the dirty mind get continues the story and the story continues where this young man ended up becoming the rabbi of this city himself and it was very beloved and he and he taught Toru and and he helped people and he was if you love it figure in the community and we and had a son and when he got old and when he was on his deathbed the people of the key HeLa they came to the Robin and said Russ you're dying what would you like this is this is my request my request is when I pass away when I pass away you make my son the next rabbi of the community and he passed away the community causes Sonnen and says for the son your father said he wants you to be the rod okay we're gonna make you the wrong if you know a lot of turn and if you're a good leader if it senses son that's how my father meant my father meant you should make me the rug as I am trust my father but if I am so good and I know so it's done so then you don't even need my father you would just make me the Rob cuz I'm so learning my father is saying make me the rug no matter what and that's what you agreed to do otherwise you're making me earn it on my own merit since I said I love up from its Kakaako and I'm going to watch over their children but we do know they were some sense maybe you hadn't choose so we say no I brought me in to cut it out from you choose and you said you're gonna watch the children if I said yeah if the children aren't good so we said that question well that's the case that we didn't need our audience working at them we were just cut ourselves the whole point is even more work so good even when we thought they would you still accept us as your children thus the realtor of the market took a random line in the surah al-anam hang around with mush ask questions and answers and made a one long story you could be sure that the community knew who was the realtor the maggot and who wasn't we will continue when you come to a speech when you come to a lecture a shield you want to get something out of it but sometimes you get something different than you expect it that's how it works you never know because if you would know then you would just turn on tour anytime you wouldn't have to see it live right it's gonna be something new but sometimes it's even better but it's different and there's a Michele for that as well there was a person whose father was very wealthy an ad before he passed away said you know what I needed to do I needed to hide my love so that nobody should find it he took his bags of gold and he began behind them all over the house and then suddenly he passed away without telling his son where he hid the well the Sun was very poor and he lost mostly didn't have a lot of money and he didn't know about his father's wealth he didn't know where it was but one day he was down to his very last last few coins last two coins one of the coin slips out of his hand and rolls between the boards and the floor I can't reach there by one of my last coins he takes up the back of a hammer pulls up the board to find the coin and you know what he finds a bag of gold bag a whole bag oh and then he looks around more another magical I thought soon he finds many bags of gold but you know what he never found he never found that original coin but that's okay he came to the claim but he got a bunch of bags of gold so I'm hoping to give you some bags of gold so let's see cab a cross he shot himself we'll start with a Michelle for the money he says like this there's a cruise ship cruise ship that goes from island to island stop the island ever gets off they take their selfies they buy trinkets and then a few hours later they go back on the cruise ship and they go into the next island but uh what a nice vacation right well the cruise ship stop stop they're really beautiful island and s stops everyone D barks and the door D boards and the cruise ship says okay in four hours everyone has to be back because we're gonna leave on time after three hours a group of people said okay we bought we're gonna buy we found the Starbucks on island that's ok we did what we need to do now we're on our way back and then go back to the ship plenty of time they sit down they relax they take off their shoes get a pina colada they're good then there are some people who they're still buying things and that they hear an announcement allowance over the loudspeaker from the cruise ship onto the island you could hear 20 minutes to go the ship leaves in 20 minutes all no questions let's get to the ship and they go running to the ship get to the ship okay settle in relax okay stuff in the overhead compartment we're good we got to take her shoes off for good final call some people they didn't go there we're still there waiting online everything they waited so long they want to buy what they want to buy okay final call they drop it they go running through the they make it on time the ship begins to leave some people they come running and as they're running they jump onto the gangplank and they get her for the ship on something tripping and they're falling a bit but at least they made it stop people the ship had already pulled up the gangplank and they have to jump into the water to swim the captain sees him throws the little life vests down pulls him back up something we're so busy behind things on the island that by the time they got to the shore the ship the cruise ship was a speck of dust in the distance it was gone they were left on the island the menorah some horror says that that is where we are now those who look at ll as the call to begin to get back on the ship to begin to figure out what we're doing wrong what we're doing the right and to work on it by the time Rosh Hashanah comes they're in like Flynn it's easy they can go and they're prepared and they know exactly what they did right exactly I think the wrong exactly what they want to work on they've looked at the guy before they read it they're familiar they are ready and prepared but some people it's not so the code that stopped the shofar they're like okay I'm going but I'm going through the motions but then the week before okay this is serious they come running onto the ship so sometime week before each other let's get our act together and then there's some they walk in to shul Yom Tov night they're not prepared that difficult coming anything at all but they know it's Rosh Hashanah they they try to get into it to get into it takes them a while but eventually they get into Rosh Hashanah and some people they miss out Rosh Hashanah but I said smeet sugar and some people last-minute they're swimming in the water that's Yom Kippur they just managed to go on a light breath that's all that's what they need because they are not prepared to come close that shut their relationship with us Gemma's not Anthony but at least Yom Kippur finally they're there they're where they need to be they're finally centered and took all of that into 40 days but in the last possible day and then there are some people who by the time they come to their senses Yom Kippur is long gone the shock to say that are high in Bahamas is already written and we can't do anything about it says that the menorah summer are let's prepare now okay next idea if you look very hard it's very hard to pray my students tell me what's the hardest thing to do injurious my students are not religious there were common religious go to you so what's the hardest thing kosher I said no kosher is easy living brainer you know then we cook kosher restaurants go to Flatbush the truth of the matter is anywhere in America North America it's easy and easy look for an oh you okay cupcake Starrcade okay a restaurant to live in a Jewish City not hard your nominee kosher products exist on the market today about 400,000 you know how many products the average person eats in a lifetime about ten thousand so there's more than enough course your food if you if you really want it exists Shabbat rabbis Siobhan you are not not really started really hard if you're prepared for it and you're in assistive Eva you're in an environment that makes Shabbat fun and wonderful and so Shabbat shall mark the greatest joy okay guys turn off your phone that's a gateway drug for solution so you turn off your phone you be a strong person you know today there's a there's a person Arianna Huffington a few earlier she she writes Huffington Post HuffPost not very pro-israel at all certainly not Jewish and just this week she said you know it we should all be doing an electric Shama Shabbat from electricity and she says the kind of Shabbat that religious Jews do it's healthy Arianna Huffington but if Jews can't by the way but Ariana Huffington she says okay I gotta you gotta put away your phone even she gets oh here's the Shabbat I'm sorry you know it's hard you know what I'm feeling she loves live you know why because it's in a foreign language it's not your own words you may not know what the words mean and it's really hard to read in the art-school Hebrew English it's a fine where it's up to it's wrong and it's wrong and especially it rushes on Yom Kippur it's very long so we I can't do it I'm not feeling it so I want to tell you a story for that there was a man used to sell bagels and the staple salesman and her son the son who stopped him when one day he says to the son you know I have to run back home please watch my bagel stand the son says no problem I watched a bagel stand he's watching it when a bunch of hoodlums a bunch of gangsters they come they see this kid

want but without fish about that doors open first do the basics and then the same money no but there's a second concept of the zoo money that I like very much I'll share it with you assume on a sign is our way of saying it fill up and say Michelle I want to be I want to have a sweet year and I know that sweetness comes from you so when I say shall have the moment I'm not think while the Apple is sweet and the honey is sweet saw a sweet year where what's the science behind them the answer is encephalo it's missing how shall I know that from you you emanate sweetness so give me the sweetness sure you preserve your theta3 mom I know that you're the one who can look at my zoo yoked and and give me a suit for all the things ever please you're the macabre ha so see money art feel it's very important to understand this and I'll tell you why you don't have the link for our Shoshanna firstly money as a matter of fact in my house we dip our house in the honey every week first of all we like honey it's reality but the real reason is in the same way we dip the collar and the apple in the honey for us your son to have a sweet new year we do it down the street in a week Oh son new week it's the same concept of three long everything that we do is connected to two uh you know that when throughout our lines but we hold something in our right hand Mon make a break huh why because right is what mercy so it's it's if you love that Feliz Hashem you're our daughter of mercy please get mercy on my endeavours and allow me that's the dress that's the write-ins first it's if you want it's not magic it's a true life everything that I do is it I'll tell you when sometimes I get interesting things and oh auction like I got the Bob masalas they get the rule i know where to look so and once bought something in my one my wife saw i bought it was like I don't get it she's I know you're not gonna get it there's no explain to me why did you get this she want to know so what was it that was that was confusing her I bought her to auction I hair Congress you know a new person in a Walmart right but I'd want water auction there was a unique hair clippers because of the air covers from hung shorts and was the air clippers that were used on our brothers and our sisters before they were gassed so that their hair can be used to stuff the mattresses of the Germans so she's is so well so why did you why did you get it well it's the point they trying to tell you what I had in mind I said you know when I got it was around the time of the three weeks and during the three weeks it's a very sad time and we don't listen to music and we don't change it's a time of mourning but the mcduck is destroyed but at the end of the three weeks so then it's over tisha Bob is over and I can listen to the music now and I can shave and I'll be honest with you for many years now I used to have a beer that was a rambling borrow party dude then I went to cue shaded not my wife likes it off so do i right so so she so those 3 weeks when I have to grow it are uncomfortable you women you don't know this but if you have a big beard it's okay but if you don't long wear the beard and then going to be is very uncomfortable so it's to me it's like a genuine relief to be able to shave it off but why am I so happy it's a bit some week this is still nothing we still have seen up you know we still hate each other we still haven't done chuva so here I am happily shaving off my beard happily the music as if everything is okay but nothing is okay somewhat these cookers and these Clippers are a true life and the jewel is the words are over hosel Chicano Chicana new knob discover a new Hashem look at what we went through look at how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust wasn't six million by the way the more accurate I was about eight million that's the revised number but eight million Jews about two million children two million Japs burnt beaten star suffocated who the cause of Chicano Chicana and with all that your name we never forgot we didn't give up hope we didn't say oh no forget it no we're still Jewish we're still coming on a Sunday night when other people are elsewhere we are here with little since you thought ah this is important to us not out disc of tango please don't forget us just like we don't forget you don't forget us so my Clippers are Fela when I think the first clip using these Clippers to say yes I am cutting it but something obviously shot but I'm asking you to please remember us nah but please don't forget us not obvious cutting that's a few laughs let's keep going shall we show / oh my goodness there's so much to be said about the show five let me start like this if you listen to the shofar it is a huge cover-up for different things especially if we fell short on things like we'd sort does say like it's my pretty smile say Chris Vaughn the right so the Shabak could be someone about God okay but the truth of the matter is listen II feel a shofar what does that do if you have a good shot for blower it's very important rule Jeff somebody who knows how to give cheeky Oh it's just it's you should shower you should shake what's going on it's penetrating my soul but what is it exactly is it the sound of the shofar so here's a very beautiful story there was a villager and the villager came to a big town this is a few hundred years ago came to a big town and he's listening a friend and all of a sudden the fire breaks out in the town well that time dad a way of dealing with the fire people would pick out bugles did we take out a pickle and then one person would blow and then the next person and soon there were bugles all over and soon people came with pails of water and they put out the fire they put out the fire well this villager was really impressed so he came back to his little village and he said I know we need to do we have a great way of putting out fires every once in a while there's a fire you know we're going to put out a fire well blow bugles bugles we'll put on fires so they brought everyone a bugle and then a few months later there's a big fire in the town big fire okay so everyone takes out their bugles I blew the bugle why does the town burn down there what the guy they went to the big cities they said you fool it's not the bugle that put out the fire the bugle just alerts everybody that there's a fire for them that by filling up the bills of water and pulling it out the bugle alone does nothing that's the shofar the shell fire alone is a beautiful sound and it's certainly effective and submits far to listen the schmucko shore is amid sun but it's not the shofar but it's what we shall force force to make us do what I'm supposed to make become so if we just blow the shofar unfortunately unfortunately I've been out of town I'm going to be in Minneapolis this this coming soon Rosh Hashana Oz in Philadelphia last Rosh Hashana I go around I see what's going on there are people who go to a shul they hear the shofar then they get in their car and drive away might be telling me what are you thinking it's not the shofar it's the action they shall find it was to wake us up will reshape the Machine osku wake up sleepy ones from your slumber it's the shoulder weakness of it's not the sound make sense here's another concept by Jafar with the story as well there was a king and the king had a son and didn't believed in training in the Sun using a very harsh method sending him away from the palace away from the riches let the song learn how to navigate the world he'll learn compassion come around and take care of people he'll learn the way of the world and then we'll come back he'll be a good lord and he sent his son away and the son went the way for many years and at the beginning to something okay but after round the Sun faltered and he wasn't doing so up and it became very poor and very depressed and eventually the son says I can't go back to my father but this was years he went when he was a young young boy and he's older now he comes to the gates of the palace the guard doesn't recognize him and he he no longer speaks the language of his father he's been out in exile too long they spoke a different language doesn't remember the language it was so young then does know what to do how is he going to tell his father it's me let me in take care of me all that we protect me he begins to cry he cries and cries and the king from the palace here's the crime and recognizes Sun scoop some up ins arms embracing summer brings them into the balance it could be that we have forgotten the language that a Shem needs to hear to connect there are ways to connect a sham but unfortunately it's not Twitter and it's not Instagram and it's not social media and some of the above it's could do shot wholly to the extreme and some of us which most of us all of us don't know that language but what's the language that we do know we know the language of the cry wash em here's the crime that cried the shofar ah like Kindle are my children come back to me you're my children it's the cry of the shofar that's the power now what about us words fire we're here Sunday night we're here we wanna but where's everyone else is Great Neck where's that word for Flatbush we should get people from all over where are they the answer is some people are very inspired on the inside when there's a chance to learn phone up there's a sure I don't care what what's going on I don't know if you want movie with this what game is on Turner so you are the inspired once you're here it's upon us who are the inspired ones to spread that inspiration now we may think Who am I I can't spread into a I'm not a maggot at a rabbi was how can I do it so I want to tell you a beautiful story the cup of time the great comfort sky you spoke at me a good of convention and when he spoke he said it's upon everyone it's everyone's job to do outreach and outreach doesn't have to mean you know knocking on doors but outreach means reaching up to the next first sight there's a huge I'm going you go come oh but I got come come who knows if you hear one thing in one moment that should make your OSHA sounded better is that not a worthy investment right one our dear one thing can you imagine so the couple times we all had the ability to do this so when the Cubs kind walk down from the podium after telling this to everyone everyone should do this people began to say to themselves it didn't mean me then didn't mean me mentally the professionals the professionals the huge profession they're the ones that should do it but not me I can't reach out the conference kind of heard this he was very bothered at the cup of time did something that nobody thought he would do he said I'd like to speak a second time the cup of time was as a cane sugar from him he was the oldest and when he says I want to speak a second time you let him speak a second time he gets up and he says I hear a rumor that you didn't quite understand my message so I'm gonna tell you a little story another story beautiful beautiful story he says there is a person from the big city who came to a village once in Europe and he was hosted by a poor family and they gave him the order to drink him he picked up four water and the water was full of little objects now today we're very spoiled people said Oh in drinking tap water like that I wouldn't my goodness do you realize how clean tap water is compared to the water that people lived on he was very very sick constantly they would take water they didn't understand the bacteria in the water that was awful so this rich man sees these things he says when is this the water in the town yeah everyone drinks this water so the rich man says okay I gotta do something about so he says I'm gonna donate to the town the most sophisticated water purifying system and this is you know more than a hundred years ago the system wasn't that good it was you know it it was a largest it was like a little system a app in your sink very large system and he built it as a present for the townspeople and they were very grateful the stranger comes in he builds a water purifying system whatever a month enough the day came I was ready to unveil it to the public it's a nice ribbon around and there was the mayor there this rich man was there and they said thank you the mayor says thank you for giving our community this delicious clean water let's turn on the filter and it turned on the filter a lot of water came in and then the gears began to turn on the sifting mechanisms and finally at the other end drip drip drip the cleanest purest water that you can imagine amazing right they were so grateful look it was slow but look at the water that they're getting is amazing so the rich man says goodbye thank you I hope you enjoy this he comes back less than a year later to this village and the whole village is burnt down nothing's left old thing is destroyed he what happened to the village this will we had a big fire huge and we had to have water so far you know we want to make sure the pure water so we just drip drip drip and you know by the time we fill up one conflict the fire had burnt down house whatever we did it was just to some he says you fools you is do you think that to put out a fire you need pure water when a fire is raging anywhere will be sufficient even dirty water even if it's not the cleanest water says the cup the fire of apathy the fire of assimilation intermarriage people leaving Judaism it's raging it's burning you don't have that the purest water to put out that fight just go do your job just go you have to be a Sadiq just be you be you your waters good enough to put out the fire so we can inspire people this company ownership then I give you my life story we struggle and here's the struggle on one hand we want to grow we want to be better in all aspects we want to stop speaking our seminar we want to dive in better we want to be more honest or business we want the problem is we've done so many things that were not proud of how we haven't done to sugar for them yet what am I supposed to do you're the problem I haven't done for sugar yep so the baal shem tov tells this beautiful story he says there was a man who lived in a small village everyone was very poor and he wanted to buy himself some beautiful boots he always dreamt of boots that nobody owns in his entire village the nicest boots and he worked for an entire year to the end of the earth he had enough money and he goes makes a trip to the big city and he goes to the shoemaker and he says show me your finest pair of boots that should make it look so guy out but dances you can't afford my finest boots take China big bag of gold coins show me your finest boots ah ok I will show you my - boots he goes out and takes the most amazing pair of boots made so beautifully the craftsmanship the heel would last forever just the most beautiful boots you've ever laid eyes Tamia tries on they're a perfect fit he buys it on the spot a year's wage to buy the perfect good year so excited to go at chalk as boots to this village he is gonna be the star of the village in his new boots he's so excited that he decides he's gonna take a shortcut because he wants to get back to his village and he takes a shortcut through a field big big field and as he's walking here's the squishing sloshing sound you see it had rained for a few days before and the field was very muddy as he was walking in his new boots his new boots had become dirty full of mud he felt terrible he picks up his right boot takes his walking stick and meticulously clean up all of the mud from his right boot then he picks up his left boot and he cleans up all the mud from his left boot but then it looks down on the right boot oh no it's a muddy again so he fixed up the right food and cleans it off but now his left boot was money right left right left but he's just standing in one place claiming it's getting dirty in the guy who owns the field he's looking through the window he's laughing uproariously this is the funniest thing this guy is such a fool and finally finally he has a little Manute he screams after the guidance says fella don't worry about the butter on your boots now just get out of the field leave the field they'll be plenty of time to clean off the month later for right now just walk straight make some progress the time will come you'll be able to clean off your boots sass the baal shem tov we've done what we've done it's part of our history and if we don't make progress until our history is clean we're never gonna make progress we'll just be in one place cleaning up our boots says the baal shem tov we have permission to march forward with but with the mud on our boots we can march forward and even though we've done I've they wrote then we're a little bit hypocritical and we're a little bit disingenuous and we've we've said one thing ever bad that's it my leg it hasn't been so good so that's the only way one the way we can get out of the field so even if before our Shoshana we haven't really been into it I'm Russian Jean just make progress because the hollow from now on it's gonna be amazing from now on I'm gonna change myself I'm I'm gonna change the room from now on yeah but look what you did there'll be time I'll be in a good place when I'm gonna let good place I'll then go back to my boots and I'll make them nice and shiny so dance where we are now make progress remember the sound of the shofar is a call to action make sure to close that front door don't just go do this in my name but make sure to do this - Siobhan and don't forget each of the say my name they are to be loved when you say is when you do a similar to the Fila your Dominic - and they say gosh em you're in the valley of cause paula koklos mum you're the one who could change my life
