What did Rebbe say to Angry young Adult that changed his life? Record yr History Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

of my right thank you but and what oh 18th of elbow yes so it all came together you know she was spiritually awesome and it just made me feel good and knowing that you're coming again here is just they did even the best so you're here on this holiday okay but I don't need accolades I want to hear a good question a comment a thought stump the rabbi stump the rabbis or something that you wanna they're thinking about something profound I want to put you on the spot my next project I'm doing now oral interview his history interview of families I will say it again I said it last time briefly everyone has an obligation especially older people to to have themselves recorded their history their parents their grandparents their life I just finished recording someone 15 sessions 20 to 30 hours fascinating right now the family wanted it don't you know don't wait till you're 99 years old okay why not number one you may not hit 99. you may I know I wouldn't do it okay but you don't gotta wait anyway the point is I already recorded everything every person has a story really assemble your children your grandchildren you know how many grandchildren my own grandchildren they don't know so what I did you read the book I wrote about my father that's years in the making we just I just never got to it so I decided my brother my brothers and my sister and I it has to be done that's it you know otherwise it doesn't get done so you asked me what I'm really working on now that's something that I'm investing a lot of time in and working with people to try to to do this you know you have different ways of doing it you know but for example I uh I was I did about eight or nine interviews with a rabbi in Maplewood New Jersey Mark you're you're your town or something right that's your neighborhood rabbi all right thank you okay so I should have not said his name so so uh yes so yeah you're right so the bottom line is the family called me I remember I was here in Colorado Springs at Walmart not Staples and I got a call from us a grandson you know we we've we've followed your your writing this and that and YouTubes and um would you do this I said do you do this I said yeah we could talk about it so it got done they want to turn it into a book because there's different parts there's the recording right that's number one then there's transcription and then there's publishing the different stages but but the rabbi his health is not the best he's 85 now he's a kid he's a kid this kid the family could have woken up 10 years before when he was healthier and his mind was more Sharp so you know another example my father and my uncle donated a Torah to Yeshiva in Israel years ago in 1994. and I went to the ceremony in Israel and I was dancing behind my father and my uncle and people as the Torah is being walked in the streets of the Daybreak and I turned to to them and I said you know would have would have not been nicer if your father and your mother were here behind us dancing with us why did we wait till people die to give up to give a Torah the same money that you donated for the Torah now you probably had it 10 years ago and I know they've had it 10 years ago there is this thing that we wait what are we waiting for what are we waiting for let's do things now the Reba the rapper in the 1980s was already an 80 an 80 year old man going in his 80s you have opened up his treasures his letters that he wrote to people and he had his letters published and you know how helpful today those letters are to thousands hundreds of thousands made millions of people who look to the rappers letters as guidance as inspiration so I say Elias is your name wait till 99 you don't have to wait till night that's uh very very interesting yeah are you related to him you related to who gimoro yes excuse me anyway the bottom line is Eliezer the mind doesn't work a sharp forgetfulness tiredness you know I'm interviewing people 84 85 86 they fall asleep instead of doing a two three hour interview I gotta do an hour Tower an hour and a half I work with the person well how much can the person tolerate you know having an interview where you fall asleep or you're like it's not the quality right so the younger you are the more fresh you are so this is very important very very important for all especially for the future generations for our our own family our own family where do we come from I think your family comes from Morocco am I right My Father's Side the father's side right what happened other side where the sense of the baushanto no I didn't know wow so what happened to Morocco what city in Morocco would choose a Morocco you know I find that fascinating I really do you know history I just recorded it's going to come out next few weeks on on the internet ashul and Crown Heights that today's a church there I found out this was a shoe starting in the 1920s and I found out who the rabbi was and then another Rabbi in the 1940s you know okay there's so much history now you'll say what's that relevant to to a grandson or a grand a granddaughter or a child later first of all you never know what what ex what turns a person on to God to Torah to jewishness to family tell you a story it's also online but 1973 coldest day in January a gentleman comes to 770 that's the headquarters of Chabad in Brooklyn Crown Heights and he he's angry he has a Tom pants ponytail has a rock part of a rock band he's from The Counter Culture a hippie a beetle I don't I don't have to say more everyone understands right everyone lived through that most of us here are a little older right anyway the red becomes at 10 o'clock each morning to seven seventh his office as he's about to walk up the steps to his office he stops him and he says in Yiddish is you know foreign anger you're a little Bobby should happen Nazi said he says I want to ask something says Frank asked here is you know a 21 22 year old gentleman who's angry at his parents in a Judaism and he's now in a different world who is this big Sadiq this big helper of Jewish people and he says who is God I heard this it's online but I heard it from himself in Spring Valley once at a wedding Elliot he says his name so I can say his name Elliot told me himself but he doesn't say it he looks at the redness you understand they're standing face to face it's freezing it's 20 degrees outside 10 in the morning on the steps leading up to 770 face to face he says wool is good where is God all over he says of the V is there he spoke I think the Polish the post dialect of Yiddish where is he where is he said the rapper says which means here there everywhere he doesn't accept it he says if God is here there everywhere why is there a Jewish god a Muslim God a Christian God how many gods are there and that ever tells them that there's one God and this God is found in the hearts in your heart still not accepting the answer so why are there Christians Muslims Jews Catholics and the rabbit says Christians serves god with his Christian or her Christian heart the Jew with his heart the Muslim with his of her heart go learn the concise edition of the code of Jewish law the kids put on filling and may God help you and the rapid continues of the steps and Elliot goes back to his world he told me that he didn't initially run and put on a pair of filling it didn't happen that way but he thought about it thought about it and after a few months he took out his filler is Bar Mitzvah still that his father the Survivor gave him his father survived the camps and he had a number on his arm and he bought him a parrot film he bought this young boy and he took it out and he put on the tomb for years of not to film because he was angry and he started to re-experience Judaism today he's a grandfather with an entire Jewish Family observing Torah happily married together where would he have been if he would have continued in with his anger where would he have been who knows where we have been I don't know if he would still be here today save the soul on January during January 1973 the coldest day of the year and speaking to this lost soul when a child or a grandchild or a great grandchild sees a video of one of us here sitting at this holy Gathering right you never know what will ignite his or her shama their soul and you never know what that will do and keep them on the straight path on the normal path on the path of decency and being a yeet you never know Karl Buck used to always say you never know you never know we can never know you can never know so therefore the importance of documenting and recording our life is so important future so do yourself a favor and start this process tomorrow not if the Russian and not after the high holy days tomorrow start thinking about it start speaking about it with your spouse with your kids with your friends and you'll see more or less something will happen you know and today without one second today with all these gadgets you can record easily you can transcribe it's an open world yes story you're telling about recording your life a few years ago I started a company called Legacy videos can it record their
