To share what somebody Avi Per is a guy I learned from in Yeshiva. If you know Avi Per, he's a very colorful personality. He's very colorful. He wears funky clothing. He's a redhead, flaming red hair. He's he's a musician. He's from the best musicians we've ever had here. He composes songs, incredible music. Very very talented, creative, artistic person. Avi Per said over that in the morning he gets dressed. He wears funky clothing. He wears cool pants. Yeah, yeah. That's amazing, right? He wrote a song on the Gemara. He's brilliant. So, he wears colorful shirts, pants. And my she observed, he said that every morning he like thinks what to wear. And and he wears cool shoes, different colors. He's a colorful guy. And he said one garment I put no thought on, the tzitzis. Just simple and I dump it on. And he said I asked myself and I'm bothered. All my other garments are so loud and the tzitzis are so quiet. The tzitzis are so like I just put on my tzitzis, no thought. He said I'm like bothered, am I a thoughtless person? Every other garment like I put on my pants, he picks a nice pair of slacks. His shirt, his tzitzis thoughtlessly puts it on. He said it bothered him. So, he started thinking about it. He said something brilliant. Truly, he said like this. Beged clothing, beged is beis gimmel daled. What's striking? Two, three, four. Beis, gimmel, daled. What's striking? Where's the aleph? Allo, the aleph is missing. Beis, gimmel, daled. Beged is missing the aleph, the essence. It's two it's missing the one cuz it's not who you are, it's what you show. Beged is what? Perception. It's a world of fake. Beged is hmm, let me show everybody I'm very stark so I wear this. Let me show I'm chill so I wear that. Let me show I'm cool so I wear that. Beged is what you're showing, not who you are. It's two, three, four. It's missing the one. Doesn't have the aleph. It's bet, gimel, dalet. Beged also means what? Treachery. Ashamnu, bagadnu, beged. Bet, gimel, dalet means clothing and treachery cuz it's disloyal to the one. Treachery is when that people are disloyal to the king, a traitor. Bigad them is disloyal to the essence. It's what you're showing, not who you are. Said Avi Per brilliantly, he said the reason he thinks you put a mitzvah at the corner of your beged is if the whole beged is what I show, after everything I show, mitzvah, I want to know if you don't know who I am, I'm connected to God. Deeper than all my shows is I'm a soul. Under all my bigad them is a soul that wants to connect to Hashem. So the corner of the beged, the corner means the achlus. The corner represents what's beyond my bigad them. Deeper than all my bigad them, our body is a beged. The body is referred to in Sefaria as a beged. It's the external. It's the external. Deeper than all my bigad them, mitzvah, connection to God. That's the deepest space of me, my soul. So at the corner of your beged, put tzitzis. So Avi Per said, "I like that. I don't think about that one." All my other bigad them is a conversation. Hey, what should I show? There's one that's quiet and consistent that just true. I don't think much about it. It's the deepest space. He said, "Sometimes I even forget about that space. Just goes on like absentmindedly." He said that the that that's like an unchanging truth. The deepest space me at the corner of my bigad them. Deeper than all the things I show, mitzvah. But I want to That's what Ari Perl brilliantly shared right here at this Musaf that he came to visit one day and he shared this mitzvah of tzitzit. >> Gorgeous. >> I want to share something else to the chevra. Mordy, I want to share something else to the chevra. The purpose of tzitzit is to remember that's open. We say it in Krias Shema. The purpose of mitzvah of tzitzit is to remember all the mitzvahs. We remember we're loyal to Hashem and to remember the mitzvahs. That's the purpose of tzitzit is to remember all the other mitzvahs. We say this in Krias Shema. The words we say in Krias Shema about tzitzit >> Very good. >> We say on tzitzit U're'isem oso, you shall see it, u'zchartem, and you'll remember as kol mitzvos Hashem, all the mitzvahs of Hashem. So tzitzit remind us of all the commands. Now why tzitzit remind us of all the commands is is very, very difficult. What's the gematria of tzitzit, chevra? Tzadi and yud is 100. 90 and 10, see? Tzitzit, tzadi and yud is another 100, 200. Plus the taf is 400 is 600. The gematria of tzitzit is 600. Add to that the five knots, 1 2 3 4 5 knots, 605. There are eight strings, four and four eight, is 613. Oh, there's a gematria there. Cool. Tzitzit is 600, five knots, eight strings is 613. So good as a gematria. Wow, that's like a little bit far-fetched. Tzitzit remembers the mitzvahs. I want to share a midrash with the tzitzis is a rope. It's a rope. I like people like holding on different times in my life. I like holding my tzitzis. It's a rope. Grab onto it. It's a rope. Throw out. The madrish says that the tzitzis is a rope is that a person it gives a musha a person is drowning somewhere. Somebody throws him a line and he holds on he pulls up to safety. They're all different visuals. My I have a nephew who's very into repelling. And he takes people he is in his artsy thrill seeker. He is wildly adventurous. And my dad was a very adventurous My dad had a motto that is a wild motto. If it ain't dangerous it ain't fun. That was like his motto. He liked very extreme things. So with my Don't do dangerous things. But he went with my nephew >> [clears throat] >> and they went repelling. My nephew is an artsy thrill seeker. He does wild repelling. He's very talented and does it in crazy places. He had There's a picture of my father once like something didn't work and my father was hanging over some like crazy area and something broke. And my father was just dangling. But the picture of somebody holding onto a rope and being pulled to safety is the madrish says is the tzitzis. And the sense that on this earth there's something you can grab on. We all want eternity. In a world that seems just We talk three-dimensional that which is eternal connection relationship a connection to the eternal one. Tzitzis are a rope that hold on to and you could have something that's lasting things that matter we can connect to Hashem. We can connect to the eternal one and be eternal and shachus to eternity. That's what tzitzis is is the rope that you can connect to eternity. It's a chevel, it's a rope. The rope that one can hold on to and be pulled to safety. Connect atem atvekem bashem. You are a dovik bashem chaim kolcha mayom this life. I want to express saying Dovidel's song my king many times. One of the greatest times that to my estimation, has his own story to tell. But when he sang it's sitting about here of Shalom Rubashkin who had just gotten out of jail a few weeks before. And sang don't ever let Rubashkin was pouring tears. Not emotional. I couldn't believe that he had so many tears after being in jail 8 and 1/2 years. That speaks about a man of faith. He was pouring tears. Don't ever and we asked him like what hit you? It's a gorgeous song but that wasn't the typical reaction. He was pouring tears. And he told us that for 8 and 1/2 years in jail he said to Hashem don't let go of me. I'm never letting go of you Hashem. I'm holding on for dear life. Hold on to me. And he said how am I going to hold on to you Hashem mitzvahs? He's a Yid who's sitting in jail 8 and 1/2 years maximum security. Not like a a picnic small security is not not great either jail but okay. He was a maximum security with murderers afraid for his life. People are dangerous. Fights break out. Craziness. He was with literal He was sitting in jail but one point his roommate was a hitman. A guy who for his parnassa would kill people. What? Amazingly little. Amaze If you hear his story amazingly little. It was a financial It was a The reason he got maximum security is cuz he was he was Israeli like the foreigner piece. His crime was was crime was hard to like The kids are at Bar Mitzvahs of Shalom Rubashkin. Said to Hashem, "I'm holding on to you. How am I going to hold on to you mitzvahs?" The man made kiddush every single week in jail, got grape juice, made kiddush. The man sat in the sukkah. The man shook a lulav and an esrog. The man put on tallis and tefillin every single day. He said to Hashem, "I'm holding on. I'm going to do mitzvahs. I'm going to do that which you commanded. I want to relate and connect to you. I'm going to be loyal to you." And he prayed to Hashem, "Don't ever let go of me. I'm holding on to you. Don't ever let go of me." And when played the song, he said, "This is what I've been praying for 8 and 1/2 years." Don't ever let ever let He said him, "I mamesh been saying this for 8 and 1/2 years." He was crying like a baby when sang Tati, My King. So, the tzitzis as a picture of a rope that you can hold on to can hold on to. A bachur described to me at a moment in his life that he was tempted a very big temptation, he held the tzitzis. I couldn't believe it cuz it must have been to a gemara. The gemara says about a student of Rabbi Akiva who went to be over his nose, and it says the tzitzis smacked him in the face. I don't think it means literal. Though, if you want to learn it literally, I don't mind. I think it means that he held on to his tzitzis. I come from somewhere. I have deep connections behind my begadim. I have a deep connection to Hashem. I have a purpose. I'm about something. I'm connected to the creator. I live with mission. The tzitzis occurred to him, and he held back from his aver. A bachur was literally mechaven, told me he grabbed the tzitzis when he had a challenge. So, that's the tzitzis as a rope. This mitzvah that we such interesting people, we have ropes. A chevel at the corner of our garments is that we're told that something we have we can hold on to. Hashem, loyalty to Hashem, their mitzvahs. We actually in strange places, I won't eat that. I like kashrus a lot. There's many deep things about kashrus, but the Kuzari writes at the simplest level, I love that I'm in crazy places and my wife and I get off the plane, we're starving and you see a store and we turn to each other and not kosher, I like that. It warms me. I'm loyal. You feel like you just arrived and who knows where. I'm very tied to something. I know who I am. A special diet is like so cool, you remember yourself, what you're about. I remember there's a world that's me. I find that in airports and crazy places. I like checking out and not kosher. I like looking, oh, this food here not kosher. But I don't want to just like be a robot. No, I want to like go through the experience. Oh, there's a I I like telling my wife, oh, there's a restaurant. And not kosher. What? That's funny, that's funny. But the the tzitzis is a very grounding experience that you have a rope. It's a connective experience that I'm connected to something, that there's something I'm part of. I have begadim, I have things I show all the time and begadim make me forget who I am. Begadim are the essence that I could just dress anyway I want and be anything and tzitzis are deeper than all the things I show is there something I am. Yeah, I have the possibility of begadim and begadim [clears throat] as a space. I could look like this and look like that and look like the third thing is actually something that I am. It's something that I have. There's a deep place in me. I'm a neshama that's very connected to all the right things. Tzitzis is that rope that reminds that that binds us to, connects us to the other side, the one holding the other side of the rope. It's funny the possuk speaks about us Yaakov gave on a loss I there possuk him that sound a little like this but this is the madrish that speaks about tzitzis that I wanted to share with the chevre. Is it possible today weirdly we would sing Tati my king maybe? Wouldn't that be so weird like in the back row? >> What's why on tzitzis does it go 7 >> Excellent question. >> 7 9 10 13 like >> I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Good question. Fair question. Those men hug and mug are very interesting. What you say? From what every mom is from whatever you want. Same material it says. Judah thanks for being here. I know it's one of the slide before I go. >> You're a great guy. So >> I was told speak to you. Maybe you can tell me who I am. I've been long to know where I go. In the end, my only hope is that you hold my hand. How am I supposed to see your path? So many questions [music] I have to ask. Now I'm standing here alone. I'm losing hope. And in the [music] end, my only hope is that you hold my hand. So touchy, my king. [singing] Father, I plead. Don't [music and singing] ever let ever let go of me. Ever [singing] let [music] ever let go of me. Touchy, my king. Father, I plead. >> [music] >> Don't [singing] ever let ever let go of me. Ever let ever let [music and singing] go of me. I need you to know that I'm lost in my [music] life. So pick me up. [singing] Help me stand. Don't let go of my hand. Touchy, [music] [singing] my king. Father, I plead. Don't [singing] ever let ever let go of me. Ever let ever let go of me. >> [music and singing] >> I am here to speak with you, Usher. Starting to see now who I am. I've been lost before, I know, but here I stand. Taking part in your plan. And now [singing] I'm walking down your path. Even with the questions [singing] I have to ask. It gives me hope to know [music and singing] that I belong in the end. >> [music and singing] >> I'll reach out for you and take your hand. >> [music] [singing] >> Thou art my king. Father, [music] I pray don't ever let ever let go of me. >> [singing] >> Ever let ever let go of me. >> [music] >> Thou art my king. Father, I pray don't ever let ever let [music] go of me. Ever let ever let [singing] go of me. I'm [music] starting to realize that you've held me [singing] so tight. I'll follow your plan, [music] just don't let go of my hand. Thou art my king. [singing] Father, I pray >> [singing] >> don't ever let ever [music] let go of me. Ever let ever let go [singing] of me. I LOVE YOU. HERE. >> [applause] >> SORRY TO INTERRUPT. >> TWO TWO THINGS WHAT hit last night is the the way guys respect each other and want respect for each other and want like each one to look good. And then the quality of our guys. The quality of the guys is People will say that this 12th grade, this 13th grade. The quality guy by guy by guy is mishuga. It's mishuga. I feel like it was it was late and I couldn't properly like express. There There books could be written on the guys. You try to like say a blurb, like some statement. It doesn't doesn't barely do justice. It doesn't like in touch. I'm going to say a guy who's not here. The guy is not here. You see a guy walk by Yehuda Yehuda Peneth. He learned with his grandfather. He learned with his grandfather for about a year and a half every night on the phone. He learned Mishnayos. Finished entire Seder Shisha Sidrei Mishna. There's so much There's so many things that aren't seen. What I love about the last night in Waterbury. Waterbury is a hidden place. It's a It's a It's a sneaks place. What happens you don't see. After last night guys are like that what was what was going on. You can't see Waterbury. A secular school you could see. Go to math class and that's the school. What you see is what you get. Math class, science. I laugh when people come see the Yeshiva. I give guys long times to the upsetment of guys that are here. What's a guy just coming? A guy's visiting the Yeshiva. I want to tell him there's a whole inner world and if he doesn't know the inner world, he didn't even see the Yeshiva. You can't look at the Yeshiva cuz you don't you're not privy to the conversation of Bachrus having with Rabbi Shapiro. Unless you listen into the conversation with Rabbi Wisnicki, if you're not in my house, I have 3 hours of conversation with parents and guys at night. So, unless you bug phones, unless you listen to private conversations, unless you're late night in the dorm two friends talking to each other, there's just so much that it's not a place you can see. The last night, I feel like the yeshiva gets peeled back for a minute. It's like Megillas Esther. There's a world happening of Hashem running and we just like don't see it. Then it's peeled back and it's like shoot. Whoa, I didn't see this. I didn't have this. I didn't know this. Things are peeled back. The last night's like a peeling of the yeshiva and a little bit like a taste is like revealed that that's what was going on. There's like a world. Each guy's journey and story and processing and healing and figuring out and coming to grips is not happening at a math class. It's happening in here and it comes slowly. The one of the funniest lines is a 10th grader who needs to just rest. Needs to be loved with nothing. He needs When you're 3 years old, you don't got to do anything. Sometimes you need to be 3 when you're 16. There's an age you're just good. There's motherly love, fatherly love. You managed hugged and embraced. The guy says, "Rabbi, I know it a bad year. Next year, you'll see it'll be better." That's like the funniest. The guy is mad came here. He didn't like himself. He didn't know Hashem. He didn't want Torah. And after year, I want to learn. I want to go to shiyur. I want to go to Rabbi Silverman's shiyur every day. I know I wasted my year. Waste of year. You moved more this year than you'll probably move any year in your life. Your whole inner world, you're saying that it wasn't an external thing. I hear. We're very pnimiustic place. What was your story? If I accept myself, we're more in touch here. If I'm more comfortable, I'm more I just feel better about my own life. I'm actually thinking thoughts. Before I think about God, there's a me. It's me and God. Bain Adam Lamakah. There's Adam to the Makom, who is me. I Till I feel me, don't tell me about Hashem. There's first to me a little baby. There's a me. We call them selfish. There has to be a me. A me meets God. They don't meet God. They meet God. The me wants God and meets God. So, I the the the pnimiyus, the inner of this place that is so pnimiyus-tic. The guys are incredibly special. When you call up the names, Mordy Sam would say it to me late last night. And Mordy always he is the Yeshiva and nails the Yeshiva. Late last night he's just freak. He said, "Do you see the seniors? Like do you see what" He was bugging, like freaking excited. He's right. There's no There's nothing to say to a visitor, like "Wow, okay." You can say nice thing like The guys are ridiculous. Amazing guys. Honest, good, beautiful stories. To speak about Avi Reichman for 3 minutes here is it's like almost silly. There's a person. How nice, how many guys has he been kind to? How many guys say open up and he's kind and present to them and encouraging. His own His conversations with Rabbi Weiss Sneaky for years now. A rebbe that he that there's a there's an engagement to the rebbe. Beautiful. His own journey is closeness to his own grandfather. You have often you learn with Zayde? >> Every night. >> Every night. A guy learns with the Zayde, you don't need to say more. The man has a chavrusashaft him and Zayde. That's For how long have you been doing that? >> Since I got in 3 years ago. >> 3 years he's learning with his grandfather. You know YOU'RE AROUND, THAT'S >> [applause] >> THAT'S A PERSON. THAT'S A TYPE OF PERSON, that's I've been watching in the last couple of some reason I got to see all the beauty of Ari that that's on display. Ari Steinman, I've got to see him a lot with his father. I like watching him with his father. I see friendship and love. Just care. I see such a mutual respect. I see a son respecting a father and a father I like a lot when a son prides in his father and the father prides in his son. I watch his father have a pride as he should from Ari Steinman. It's like it's wonderful pride. Pride in his son, it's a beautiful thing. He's like proud. He's proud to be near his son to That's my He loves saying that's my son. That's That's the That's That's my bracha to everybody here. You should have beautiful families. You should have a pride to show people that's my son. I want to say in the chevre here, I want to show you off to the world. I That there were only like there should be billions of people like graduate. I want to show you to the world. I want to show how I am leaving this growth. Your growth is connection to his mother. His connection to Ari with Sneaky is is wild. We have to show him to the world. Honest, authentic, working, growing, figuring out, developing. The world needs to see but the world will see. A 10th grader in whatever he wrote a song. An honest song, Tati My King. Millions of times it's been listened to by our people. Men, women, and little children vibing to a 10th grader's song here that he just wrote a song a few people together. Dovidy Dell, Yaakov Hill, and I was a dorm counselor. Massive thumb chacham. He worked on the words. They were like writing the words of the chevre and millions of Yidden grabbed onto the song. So you will be heard from. You wrote in building your own family and enjoying your own communities. The guys here. I respect that Beach came back is wild. >> [applause] >> I like I [applause] like when people make I love when people make their move. Don't copy, don't imitate. He made I like when a guy made such a cool move. To come here, he's in the middle of working like make a taste him. His friends in there it's a stroll. How do you define it? Where are you? My I remember when I saw my she switched to Ref Fishel's Yeshiva from Torah V'Yirah. See people I get embarrassed I'm 51 I'm in 11th grade I'm in Waterbury. Like a trick I have No no no I teach there. No I'm I'm not a teacher I hold on that. I learn here I study I'm I get to it here. I like what Beach did. He I'm not like taking polls what people say and think. This is who I am this what I'm doing. I want to express gratitude to what we owe all the dorm counselors. I'm thinking right now about Yitzchak Dovid ben Yitzchok Dovid and what you brought. >> [applause] >> WE TALKED ABOUT HUMILITY. HERE'S A HERE'S [applause] AN old He's older than a lot of the guys. Good looking guy cool guy. He came back here there many places he could have gone. But he came here and gave such friendship to guys. Guys have described you on an off time in Yeshiva calling up so available. Let's chill let's hang out. You want to go somewhere. He get you gave friendship here beautiful friendship. The place has matured by worlds and I attribute it to people like Yitzchak. The more dorm counselors more close more conversation has much more maturity here. And I appreciate what you brought this year is you have a chelek in everything. Everything you saw last night and there's a lot to have a chelek in. To watch each guy coming up there's a story there's a family there's like a Yeah. I felt maybe to watch anybody you saw last night Yisroel Wablasky's father get hug him. LIKE >> [applause] >> 17 YEARS FOR that hug of your tot, the running to his son, love, respect, celebration. That hug his father wouldn't let go. 17 years of Yeshiva is like validated from his father running over. He like made a beeline to his son and grabbed him and you saw he's pretty strong. He held on tight. But that hug your father gave you last night there's no no no cam. I promise no video can capture what what I saw, but I felt, what I experienced. That was wild. I saw a lot of that last night. Siblings like celebrating. To have Avraham Miller's two brothers here like really proud of their brother, like really respect. >> [applause] >> It's a long night. It's a long night. Nachman Nachman [applause] is a young kid. How old is Nachman? What? Find me a 12-year-old sitting there hours and hours and hours till like 9:40. Then he comes up to me and says, "Do my brother next." that. Like I can then I was like, "You're right." Nachman he was sitting Avraham Miller went next. But here's this here's brothers who are looking up, who respect. He sees Avraham's journey and growth and respects it deeply. And I like that a lot. I like the siblings that are there like priding, celebrating, and seeing like that there's there's so much to be proud of and to express, to really experience. I got a letter like a text that's way beyond the text after from Akiva Gugenheim's parents. I don't know if the momma wrote or dad or it was from both, but clearly they both just expression of of what they've seen their son, the growth, describing in detail the growth of their son. And just the family's pride. Anybody who's seen the movie Ushpizin, when somebody grows, the last ones who believe it are guys brother and sister and family. And in the movie Ushpizin this guy is like a frum. He used to be a gangster and he becomes a big frum in and his old friends are like, "Yeah, yeah." Like, please. They're too close to like buy something fake. Like, you can't flip out and fool your sister. She knows the kishkes of who you are, you know? The close ones, you don't fool. And when siblings like acknowledge, you know, this respect, that's like things are deep. You've accessed deep space. It's with siblings. Like, when close people acknowledge, like, respect, this is not a show. This is not I liked that a lot last night. Parents and siblings, like, there was respect all through the room, like, an acknowledgement. I loved that Iron's family members came with those shirts with pictures of Iron on there, but I promise the whole family has a deep respect. His father wrote writes before every Shabbos. Wrote something about Iron. I loved that together with his sons, they watched the Nick game. I think that's gorgeous. Him and his sons. And then he said after the game, Iron's going back to Waterbury. You're running state to the morning. I want to get back to Yeshiva. He writes like the value of that, the respect to that, the appreciation to that. I liked that the family members had shirts. I appreciated that a lot. I I look I'm looking back there at the pergula. I'm saying it wrong. I keep thinking I The name has to change. For anybody who knows, Gehenna's world purgatory. I don't The word's a bit >> That's the word you talked of. >> That's the word I was talking about. What? The word The word pergula, just like too too similar to that. I don't Well, promenade. That's I'm calling it a promenade. Exaggera promenade. That much The word pergula, I don't know. Purgatory, it just keeps reminding me of that. I don't know if I heard the word. It It's too close. me. Maybe I should use that word instead. No, but I think something is prominent. But I want to express anybody watch Sheka. The man is determined beyond. If you gave me about 16 years, I can't build If you gave me the rest of my I can't build this. It's not It's not an idea. But the the talent and the skill and the determination is amazing. But really what he gives to Yeshiva, the the the energy you brought this year, the love, the friendship, the humility. You're a humble person. What Sheka has BROUGHT TO US. >> [applause] >> WHERE'S MOISHE? THANK YOU, MOISHE. WHAT YOU DID, MOISHE. Thank you. >> [applause] >> As real AS YOU ARE. IT'S FUNNY. WE MET I MET Avraham Lowenstein came for his brother-in-law's afras. Just so long, Avraham. And what Avraham has brought this year, maturity. He's a deep person. He's crazy at everything, but humble. To watch him play baseball. I happen to like softball a lot. He is wildly good. A fielder, a great arm, but just good at everything. A musician, sings, but humble. I love the humility. There's no Not arrogant. Just good at everything and then kind and sweet, respectful of people. You told me about Aiza and Muchubad on the Chabad of Sabrias. This place matters definitely this year cuz Avraham was here. I thank you and appreciate YOU TREMENDOUSLY. >> [applause] >> IN MOST WORLDS I KNOW, A GUY WHO'S more talented and learns more is at feel with you. Look at other people, guys like you. I talked like that and then I I never talk That's the typical. You have to be so clenius, so developed in the clenius thick way. Avram's eyes and people were. Guy can come here at 4:11. Avram looks so nicely praying. It's like space for your prayers, yeah. We can go guy by guy. Yes, I had my turn already last night. I was very feeble. So, I don't really deserve that.
