um all the students around the world are
showing that outpouring of love
back down the clouds going and you have

you for classical
absolutely okay
shalom alaikum everyone pardon me for
the way i'm dressed i don't look that
official and
um i took whatever clothing i could from
the fire
and this is what i have so uh we'll make
do
especially here we go
yeah yeah we're just gonna be close
enough
to the to the light okay
one second i have my son helping with
this okay
it's gonna knock away my computer
yeah it's just slightly closer okay
can you put the light behind me okay
and we've got uh what do we have hanging
that you guys can see this
so i'll take that away
okay now we look we look more official
okay
good well welcome everybody and
i have to tell you that the reason that
when i was
asked to speak about rachel imenu
i couldn't resist
is because i have a deep deep love in my
heart
for rash ali menu
i i don't know if that sounds corny or
not but i do
i go to eric's trial each year a number
of times a year
i bring a group of uh bali shiva with me
and i
when when i go to the keva broccoli menu
i cry and i know i'm gonna cry
and i know i'm gonna have one of my best
feelers
and we have to speak a little bit about
who roccoli menu was
but i have a little history because a
number of years ago
out of the blue i was called by the
rakhilimenu foundation that helps
that takes care of kevin rocco and they
said we
would like to honor you as the
roccoli meno honoree and that sounded a
little bit strange i mean
how would they know about my love for
rachel imenu
but i said yes i'm happy to do it and
happy to be that honoree
and the
the dinner for this honor and
the governor and the senators everyone
had written notes and letters and
plaques
it's like a big deal um and it was gonna
be in brooklyn
well what do you know but
rachel imenu and this uh wonderful i see
for this wonderful gathering
took place during a very auspicious time
in the news
you see new york had heard that a
hurricane
was heading their way
they called that hurricane hurricane
sandy
and it was supposed to be big it was
supposed to be at high tide
uh the the water was supposed to easily
go over the banks
of course it did it flooded a big part
of manhattan
trees were down everywhere including
muncie which is where i live and
right before sandy hit the clouds were
already very dark
and the skies were ominous
and i live in muncie and i have to drive
to brooklyn and i have to drive
do i want to drive in a hurricane
doesn't sound like a plan
but for rochelle
i felt like i have to be there this is
the the
southern doesn't want rakhil emenu uh
to have her moment
of love for clay israel the satan knows
the power of rakhila imam's tears
and the satan instead of hashem
says manika me bachi
so i drove
i went to brooklyn i thought no one was
gonna show but they
but a lot of people did show there was a
police chief
in new york who was also being honored
at that same dinner
so a lot of the police force were there
and when i came out of the dinner a lot
of people left early
to try to avoid sandy i came out
and it was so dark and ominous and the
water was easily
lapping over the banks of what was coney
island that area
and it was just like going onto the
streets and i zoomed away
but feeling appropriate for the fact
that i showed rocket league my new honor
you all know the story of rakhili menu
so sometimes speakers they don't speak
they don't tell a story that everyone
knows because
hey they'll be bored but you won't be
because the story of rakhili menu is one
of the best stories in all of yiddish
kite
it's so powerful and i'm going to give
you the russian prokam i'm going to give
you just
the very basics and you'll see why i'm
going to do that
you'll see and so
karan had
a son lavan who had two daughters
named leia
and raquel meanwhile
yitzhak had two sons
and his two sons names were yaakov and
nasef
and they were first cousins and everyone
said oh wow
there are brothers
and two sisters so the oldest brother
will wear
marry the oldest sister and the youngest
brother will marry the youngest sister
and therefore asav the wicked asaph
is going to marry leia
and the righteous yaakov is going to
marry rachel
and leia of course did not want to marry
a russia
she knew all about asev and therefore
she died and then she cried hashem don't
let that be the case
i don't want to marry russia i don't
want to marry asap
and she took the darwining seriously
and she didn't just stop him but she
cried in her tula
and she cried each day when she died and
i want to marry at sadhak
it's all i want is to marry a tzadik
and she cried so much about this one
point
her eyes were constantly red
the enemy leia raqqas were soft they
were red they were tender
from all of her crying well
we know this story yaakov running away
from his brother asaf
ends up in the town
of lavan haran
and he
he goes to the he's in this town and
there are
all sorts of people who are waiting
for a rock to be removed from the well
and he said why are you waiting you're
wasting your time jacob
encounters all these shepherds and they
said well we need to
have a lot of people to remove this
big stone from the well otherwise people
will just grab water whenever they want
we'll run out of water so what we do is
we put this big rock
and when we're together we can remove
the rock and then we each get
our fair share of the water all of a
sudden
the beautiful raquel she comes
and he sees her and she was the fast
player before
beautiful and i don't mean
aesthetically beautiful although i'm
sure she was
but that beauty radiated from a very
nishama
from her eyes from her face from her
soul
and the actor was so emboldened
that on his own he picks up this big
rock
and he removes it from the well
he says who are you he says to raquel
rahel says my i'm the daughter of love
on he realizes
that's his cousin and he goes and he
gets
invited back to the house of
lovin and he stays there for a while
he helps him out with the sheep and then
one day
yaakov says to love and he says i would
like
to mirror your daughter
lovan says i'll tell you what if you
work for me for seven years
you can marry my beautiful daughter
rachel okay
i will do so and yaakov worked
for seven years and the torah says
i and they were like individual days he
loved her so much
he loved her he felt that wow every day
i'm one
day closer to marrying my beloved
finally he had worked
for seven years he comes to loving
and he says give me my wife and love and
says
absolutely we're gonna make a big
wedding in the center of the town
we're going to feature you it's going to
be amazing
now lovin had an interesting last name
in those days they didn't call people
schwartz or cone or weiss
but they would call them based on their
character traits and
lovin's last name was
harami the trickster the cheat
the swindler the dishonest one
not to be trusted well
yaakov thought to himself i know it's
gonna happen
i bet that because he got me to work for
seven years
he may simply give me his other daughter
underneath the group i'm gonna end up
marrying
leia and then i'm gonna have to work
another seven years for rahel
that just won't do so he calls
over raphael and he says to raquel
listen i'm really concerned
your father may trick me you
i may end up marrying leia let's make a
sign
between us and that sign that simmon
i'm going to ask you a question
underneath the chuppah
and if you know the correct answer then
i know it's you but if you don't
then i know it's leia and i'll call off
the wedding on the spot
leia says what so raquel says what's the
question
so yaakov says i'm gonna ask you
what's your name and i want you to say
i am leia
and if you say i am leia
pardon me then i know that you're really
raquel
i will say what's your name you'll say
i'm leia
that must be raquel because i know if
it's really
leia if it really is leia and i ask her
what's her name
she's going to say my name is rachel so
when
i ask you for your name say my name is
leah
well the great koopa was ready to take
place
everyone came out from the town loving
the trickster made
everyone pay for the wedding didn't want
to pay himself
everyone went they had to pay for the
wedding
and there underneath the hoopa the
beautiful bride
stood there her face covered by a very
thick veil
in the middle of the ceremony yaakov
bends over and he whispers to rahel who
are you
and she says i am leia
and he smiles ah i know who it is it
must be
it must be rahel and he brings her
to his tent and he marries her
officially and he wakes up
the following morning
[Music]
he lay up behold
who's there in his tent it's leia
it's not raquel
now what happened so
our measure the following
after yaakov came over to raquel and
said to raquel
i know that your father may switch us
after that took place lovin actually
did switch rachel for leia exactly
what jacob had predicted
and rashad had this question in her mind
what am i
what should i do now if i don't tell
my sister leia the secret
the question that's going to be asked
then she's going to say i'm raquel
because my father is forcing her to
marry yakov
and he's going to be so upset he'll
storm out of the cupboar
now my sister's going to be mortified
and embarrassed
sir said i can't let my sister be
embarrassed
and so
raquel goes over to leia and says in
case yaakov
asks you under the who are you
say the truth say who you really are
and that's what leia did so when the
october said who are you
she said i am leia and she was telling
the truth
eventually yaakov worked for seven more
years
he married raquel before the second set
of seven years
he also ended up being with their
handmaidens
bill and zilpah and from them came the
shlottam
and of course we know that leia
had six of the svata and rahel was
she didn't have children she couldn't
have children
even the handmaiden zilpah and billah
[Music]
and she had yosef and then she became
expecting a second time
this time she's in her 30s
she grew very ill as
her second child was being born
she realized that she was not going to
make it she was going to pass away
and as the baby is born and her ms shama
is leaving
she looks at the little baby and she
says
you are benoni the son of my suffering
yaakov says we can't call him that
the son of my suffering so instead
yaakov changed her name to binyamin
she passed away when she passed away
the question was where is she going to
be buried
now it was well known in the family that
everyone
all of this all of the others in the
imams
they get buried in the maharas
as bought by abraham avinu from
a very special place to be buried of
course
adam and eve are buried there avraham
and sarah
eventually yitzchak and rivka
yaka was going to be buried there and
now raquel was niftares nacho passed
away
and yaakov took the unusual step
of taking her right where she was
right where she passed away in a city
called
slackham
and buried her the side of the road in
bayslachem
and the children especially yosef
he was so troubled
tati what are you doing
why are you burying my mother the side
of the road why don't you bury her with
everyone
where the obviously mostly buried in
and yaakov said trust me i know what i'm
doing
i know what's going to happen one day
and one day we're going to need your
mother
rachel to be right here
don't worry she's where she's supposed
to be
the side of the road in bayslachem
so she was buried there
and everyone knew this is the place
was laid to rest fast forward the jewish
people
except the torah from hashem
as given by moisture at being on her
sinai
we then enter the land together with
yahushua
and then some 400 years later
governor
and that based on make this was so
wonderful
nissimi flows great and obvious miracles
took place
day after day the crying gutter going in
the kurdish
hakodasham bringing a kapoor each year
for all of clay israel
unfortunately caught israel began to
fall into aderos
and the kingdom of yahudah and the
kingdom of israel
ended up separating the kingdom the
kingdom of israel
the magus the israel
they began to worship avid azara
and eventually they were taken they were
exiled by sanchez
pretty much never to be heard from again
when mashiach comes back hashem we will
be reunited
but most of kaiser was exiled by sanchez
130 years later the rest of kai israel
in yerushalayim
they were in a lot of trouble the
buchanasar
the king of bhavo came to destroy claw
israel
he had his generally was radiant come
[Music]
and they broke down the walls of
yerushalayim
they burnt the bass on mikdash
and they took the yidden and they
brought them out in chains
nobody was allowed to diamond because
they knew they had heard
that all clio needs to do
is call out hashem
[Music]
all they need to do is call out to me
and i will listen
and so now said whoever
dogged before you leave yerushalayim
they will be hacked to death they will
be chopped up
into little bits pieces they will have
their tongues cut off
as long as they were in yerushalayim
they were not allowed to daven
and another emo he's going after them
and he tries to put himself in chains
he's so sad he won't kai show this was
going to happen
he would pick up fingers he would pick
up toes
he would kiss them he said oh
oy the one i should go without choking
israel was out of jerusalem
and the very first city out of the irish
line
until today is bashem
and they were given a moment no longer
were the bob
lyon the babylonians nervous
scared afraid that khloe israel
was going to darwin they weren't scared
said kaiser
daven and where do they darwin they
darvened
by kevin rocco little did they know that
in charmaine
there was a great dialogue going on
abraham avinu came in front of my
goddess
and said hashem what did you do
you threw clyosaur out this suffering
they've been murdered blood is flowing
in streams in yerushalayim
and hashem says back what can i do
look at what glycerol did look at the
averages they did
they deserve it they deserved it and
therefore
i had to punish them they worshipped all
my desire they left my ways
and abraham avinu says if that's what
happened
then i have nothing to say and
sorry maine who comes says the same
thing
hashem says they betrayed me they
betrayed you
nothing to say and yitzhak and rivka
and yakov everyone who tried to disagree
to argue with hashem
hashem how could you each time hashem
had an answer hashem said
i must call yourself deserved it they
betrayed me
and then comes rakhalee menu
and rakhili menu
turns to hashem and says hashem what did
you do
why is call yourself thrown away
blood tears avoided the vasa
hashem could you hashem says rashford
menu they betrayed me
i know something about betrayal also
i understand betrayal i was betrayed
by my father and
i was supposed to marry the righteous
yaakov
and by giving away the signs to my
sister
so that she shouldn't be embarrassed
there was a good chance i would end up
having to marry asaf
might be trail was huge
and yet in order not to hurt my sister
i gave her the simon hashem
if i could swallow my betrayal
if i know that i'm going to suffer
if i know that things may not work
out for me i'm going to be betrayed i
too was waiting for seven years
i too was looking forward to marrying
they saw that the father
calling israel but i was able to swallow
my covey
even though you were betrayed why can't
you
swallow your covering why can't you say
yes they ignored me they betrayed me
it was a chutzpah but
i'm going to i'm going to be
water i'm going to let it go
i'm going to forgive and i'm going to
bring claudius
back and i cut a spark who says to
rochelle
stop your voice from crying
and your eyes from shedding tears
there is reward for what you've done
reward for how you were able to be me
how you were able to give up of your
covered
allow yourself to be betrayed
there's a reward for that for shavu
may eretz o'eve and khloe soul will
return
from the land of their enemies and
ever since then rajali menu
who we call mama rachel our mother rojo
is the go-to she is the one
she's the one that we cried to she's the
one that we feel close to
it's interesting that in the maharashtra
it's tragic it's sad but we cannot touch
the cover itself the savor
there are bars that are guarding us
we could see through a little bit in the
bar
but rock alimony is not like that we can
lean up against
the mad seva
[Music]
raquel is crying for her children she's
the one who we turn to
she's the one that we cry for she's the
one who cries for us
i lived in los angeles
i was privileged to meet a
yid at sadiq his name was
rabbi david applebaum
and i was so blown away
by his sid kiss by his pure heart by his
beautiful eyes
i came home and i told my wife i just
met one of the greatest santikim ever
david applebaum he was also known as dr
david applebaum
he knew that sometimes people inherits
israel
they're injured they're hurt and they
need to go
somewhere for first aid to be seen right
away
sometimes it's more serious and so he
began
an organization called terem
terum is throughout the land of heir to
sorrow
and jew and on july are treated at some
instant urging care before there was
ever such a thing called urgy care
tarant was there i was so inspired
and a few weeks after he spoke in los
angeles
his daughter nava was supposed to get
married
and he was so busy with terran with all
the good work that he did
that he felt he didn't have time
to spend with his beautiful daughter
nava
he didn't have time he wanted to speak
there she's like
and finally the night before the chupa
he says to
come i want to sit with you i want to
speak with you
i want to give you bracha's
i want to inspire you i want to share
with you my life's advice
my name said abba there's nothing more
than that that i would love
nava was a very special person almost
legendary in her own right
although she was so young
and they went to a coffee coffee shop
dr apobaminova and little did they know
about the little briefcase that was
right near their feet
that was planted there by a terrorist
a few minutes after they sat down a
gigantic
blast an explosion rips through
the coffee shop flips over the table
splatters blood all over the windows
and dr applebaum and his daughter nava
pass away tragically the night before
nava's wedding
and the following day the hassan instead
of walking
down the chupa standing under the hook
together with this beautiful collar
instead
he stood outside in the rain
as they lowered navas casket
into the yerushalayim earth
and people were so moved they were so
shaken
that they took the dress the wedding
dress
then nava had prepared for herself for
her wedding day
that day and they took the wedding dress
they brought it to the broccoli menu
and they put the dress on the matseva
they draped it over the matseva
and they said rakhilimu where were you
where were you we needed you
why weren't you crying tasham why
weren't you pleading on nava's behalf
hello dr applebaum's bf
and we say today the same thing roughly
mainly where are you
