Rabbi Chaim Sampson Project Inspire Convention 2022 Motzai Shabbos Keynote

it's hard to see you from here a good walk to you all and what a wonderful shabbos it was thank you so much it was such a pleasure to be with you we're one family it felt like one family and i welcome all the new the new guests for tonight who are part of our family thank you for being here tonight i also wanted to thank rabbi foyer who also was we were i i know he's in the audience tonight but it was an honor covered it has been to have you and the rabbits and with us for the shabbos and for the rest of the program thank you so much for joining us you know when i was at barca at asia torah thursday evenings were a very exciting time because seven o'clock thursday evening we knew most weeks the russian shiva would come in and he's going to give us a musha shmooze on the pasha and it was exciting it would give us clarity would fire us up i remember one time he came in and he looked at us and he said something was a little unusual he said i can't for the life of me understand why it's still raining why what why it's still raining though maybe someone should tell the rest of us the winter you know rains in the winter you know she said if you're looking at me incredulously there's something you should all know yourselves that we all read the shema every day the first paragraph is talking to us as individuals the second paragraph is talking to us as an and we read in the second paragraph of the shema that if we do the wrote son hashem as an arm it will reign but he shall rule him hashem is going to close the heavens and there's not going to be any rain is how can it be if ninety percent of our brothers and sisters don't even understand they're part of am israel they don't even understand that the almighty gave us a torah on harassinai how can it be that we're doing his with his will how can it be that it's still reigning such is the rachelman of the cottage borough i mentioned before with zoho tavr of yehuda here if you heard of weinberg shiva's son and everybo people may well know that is at his bris the sundeck who ca and asia tour in the basement it was rav shah and rav shah looked around the base madrid and he saw the different people and he said to have noah that guy over there he's a belchuva and ronaldo said yeah that guy who's striking away over there is about choice he said yeah and that guy at the back who like you know he said yeah and in praise of the of noah he said if one man can kill six million jews meditova is marouba hashem's crested is so much greater how much more so one man can save six million jews and that compliment of noah that one man can save the world and bring back the jewish people which he was with seeing with his eyes but it's not just true of noah it's true of every single one of us because the mishna tells us in in sanhedrin that everybody is obligated to say bishveli nivra olam the world was created for me it's my world it's my world because hashem thinks i'm harsh of enough to create the whole world for me and it's my world because the whole world is just teeming with pleasure for me he wants to just give me the greatest goodness in this world and in the next but it's my world because i'm responsible for that world me alone and we understand that we from jews understand that we as a people made a brace a covenant with the creator of the universe to represent him in this world to be a mamleka's kohanim vagoy kardash we made that commitment and we made it as a numb and we understand that if 90 of our brothers and sisters are not part of that we're not doing the job and we understand that it's our responsibility to bring them back and we understand that if the almighty asks us to bring them back the job can be done and we understand if the almighty is going to help us if he will help us we can surely do it and for sure he's ready to help us so what is so what's needed to bring back the so many hidden that are so far away we have to show the almighty that we want it and that we want it bad enough and more than that but if we do it together we can't fail if we have actus and we know from ghazal that king david who was a great leader lost his battles and hazal tell us king archive who was a terrible russia an evil person was successful why because king david and the generation of king david they spoke lost in hara whereas in the generation of arch they did not such is the power of unity that when we love each other and we care about each other we have the power of the almighty behind us and more than that that rashi explains in vayikra that he says that five people can chase a hundred but a hundred will take will chase ten thousand and rasheed it says the math doesn't add up if five will chase a hundred then the that one then then what was that then a hundred should chase two thousand but what does that do does altura say right a fat a hundred would taste twenty we'll taste ten thousand why right as rashi explains it's not similar a few people who try to do the term if it's a a lot of people doing it together that's has exponential effect and more than that nothing's going to stop them from carrying out their will because they're united and if that's the case ladies and gentlemen for something that's bad that they wanted to fight the rabona shalom how much more so if we together want to do the rocks and hashem to bring bran out our brothers and sisters if we do it together with arctus how much more so there's going to be nothing that can stop us this is what the terror relationship is saying to us it's not a nice thing it's not a nice thought it's the ms it's the truth our brothers and sisters are waiting for all of us here together tonight to work together with actors to reach out but how you ask me so you heard what my dear friend and colleague and role model yassie friedman said which is there are three things that we're offering here minimally you can do your own thing but do one of these everybody here learn one-on-one with someone you're gonna speak more about that soon or join a trip with us you're gonna have a lot of fun anyway so enjoy it be a part of it or minimally give us shalom manos they're outside how many shark manas do you give to people who who have had shalakhmanas before give someone who to someone to someone who may never have had and i'm saying to you all my staff said rabbi sampson tell them every single person here should take a shallot and give it to someone who's less affiliated come on isn't wouldn't that be arctus if we all did that if we all do these things so i'm saying to you my dear dear friends it's been a very inspiring shabbos the closeness the unity we feel we have it we just have to do something we just have to care enough caring means caring enough to do so i'm asking you please do something yeah learn with someone come on a trip but minimally take a shout out make a commitment if we all did that together there's no stopping us i believe if we all did that together this will be the change in claudia israel and bezel hashem will see the whole jewish people coming back to the roshan rabona shalom you may have seen the film on friday showing about our honoree that we have for the for for this event for this project inspire convention and that this convention we're honoring dr larry and anne newman larry it's always a great pleasure to see you in your office where you're a busy doctor and you make time for me in between patients to learn some torah together i think we've recalled your office the base madris and i want to say i don't just come and give you a few dibray torah but i love your divrei torah and and it's incredible to see how a photographic memory works together with torah to produce kadushi torah that i've never heard of before it's amazing but not only that you and anne the hessed the warmth and care that you have for everybody for every jew and every cause and also the covered and the derek area you show for all
