And don't forget to like, subscribe, [laughter] comment, and >> share. I don't know if you should share because it's a show and not a share. And uh uh for those you haven't figured out yet uh I ran a PES program. If you haven't found out about it yet, then I don't know what rock you've been hiding under. But uh I want to tell you a story first to introduce what I'm going to talk about uh about the PES program. And that is um I moved to Los Angeles in 1977. My parents still refer to it as me running away from home. And I went to LA. I was working in what was then called the Hebrew Amech Hebrew High School, Ach High School. Today it's called VTC under Rab Shia Cohen. And uh I was uh I was there for uh a year and then over the summer I ran Hill Day Camp in Beverly Hills. I was the assistant director and uh and the next year I was teaching an AM Hebrew Academy and I was tricked into taking an NCSY chapter. I don't know if I've told the story before, but people always say, "I don't know why you bother saying it. You're just going to keep saying the same stories anyway." So, if I've told it already, I'm telling it again. Yeah. Um I was active in the youth program in Shahit Sedic in the San Fernando Valley where I lived. All the kids would come and hang out at my apartment on Shabas. So when the position became open for youth director, I considered applying for it. But my good friend Shilim first who was also my was applying for it and I dropped out of the running and he took it over. He became uh the uh youth director in Shedek but this fellow who was in charge of the region at the time a regional director. I knew nothing about NCSY. He said I heard you're interested. I said, "No, I'm not. I as much my local kids that I was willing." He says, "Let me come down and interview you." So, he comes down to the camp. He says, "You're perfect for NCSY." I said, "I'm not interested. I never heard of NCSY. I don't want to do anything." He says, "Well, do me a favor. This is a great trick. I used it when I was a regional director." He says, "Do me a favor. Just go down for the interview cuz I promised I'd send them some candidates. you don't have to take the job, but just this way at least you'll make me look good. And I said, "Okay." So, I go down. I didn't realize how stupid this is. So, I go down and they say, "What would you do if you had the job?" I said, "Well, I would do X, Y, and Z." They said, "Congratulations, you're hired." [laughter] So, what was I supposed to say? I didn't want the job. THEN WHY'D YOU COME FOR AN INTERVIEW? I said, "I came for an interview expecting not to get the job." I mean, [laughter] so now I was stuck and I had no idea how to do any of this. I don't know where any of this was. So the regional director said to me, "Don't worry. I will work with you. I will be by your side. I will help you every step of the way." I thought, "Great." A week later, he was gone. So there was nobody. I'm suddenly in charge of this NCSY chapter. I have no idea what NCSY is. I know nothing about it, you know. And uh so I go down to the regional office which was on Wilshshire Boulevard, this beautiful thing. It was a fellow by the name of Lee Samson who at the time had been regional director and became the director of the OU. And uh I said, "Look, I don't know anything about NCSY. Can I go through the materials?" And I read everything they had in the office about NCSY, which apparently no one ever did besides Lee Samson. I don't even know if he did. So it turned out I was the second most knowledgeable person about West Coast NCSY because I read all this stuff. So I go to my first Shabatone which was in San Francisco and Lee says to me, I'd like you to run the program. I said, I can't run the program. I've never been to a Shabatone. I don't know what NCSY is. So he turns to somebody else and says, you run the program. He goes, okay. [laughter] That was my first exposure. Yeah. And uh I I was really building as I was moving along. I had no idea what I was doing. I was really flying by the seat of my pants and uh trying to develop as I was going along to figure out what the correct way was to be able to do all this. Yeah. Anyway, they had in West Coast what was called a winter seminar. We had to fly up to uh uh the Bay Area. They had gotten this fancy camp and my kids had no money, you know, because I tricked everybody into joining just like I got tricked into taking the job. So I we had to raise money for them. So we were selling Khan candles. They were selling in the Judeaica store over there for 25 cents. We were selling them for a dollar right in front of them. One of my kids got arrested. It was a good story. But anyway, we raised enough money to fly everybody up there. We ran this seminar and I did not realize at the time there was apparently a der of talent in NCSY especially somebody who's able to speak and talk to the kids and give Shirim and be a bentora and write articles all the different things that I'm able to do at the same time because of my ADD. So I'm able to do all kinds of different stuff. So they started me offering me to become regional director in a bunch of regions all over the country and I said look I've just started I really think I should finish my year here first before I try to get another job right anyway there was a lot of foss that went on obviously because there was no regional director and a lot of problems going on so she had charetic they had 80 kids I had 60 kids we were the two biggest chapters and he said to me we're going to make our own shabas and we're not inviting anybody from the region. I said uh Sheilim I don't think that's an I said there goes that's what we're doing. I said whatever you say boss. Yeah. So when I moved to LA uh New York was having blizzard after blizzard after blizzard. And so when I went there's palm trees, birds of paradise. The whole place is gorgeous. And people are saying the weather here is terrible. We've had rain for three days. I said, "Oh, a bit of a bit of a gullis." You know what I mean? I'm sitting there buried under blizzards and you're complaining about some rain. You know, it was it was just unbelievable. But people in LA, they think snow is very exciting. I hate snow. I've always hated snow. It's wet, it's cold, it gets inside of your shoes. It just nothing about it I like it. People throw snowballs at me. It's just horrible. I hate everything about snow. So uh that's why when uh here in Jerusalem or no now we're in Tavaria but in Jerusalem when they predict snow so I my I dab him with such kavana because I have to counteract all the feels of tin robin [laughter] who are all ding for snow AND I'M SAYING NO SNOW I HATE SNOW anyway so thank you [applause] I hate it I hate you know I had to speak once in the winter in Flatbush and there's no parking cuz all the cars are snowed in and they don't even bother digging it out. It's not worth it, you know? So, you wait until you dig out your car and you pull out and someone takes your spot. You know what I mean? And it's like, so I'm looking around for a place to park. I think I finally parked on top of a fire hydrant. I don't know. You know, to go in and speak and get back before they tow my car, but they couldn't because of the snow. So, I figured I'm okay. [laughter] Anyway, I hate snow. Yeah. So, uh, but in LA it's very exciting. So, there's a place called the Big Bear Mountains where they have snow in the winter. So, we advertised it as a ski weekend, which was very exciting because all these kids who had no shed, they were like, "Wow, we're going to go skiing." There was no skiing, so we changed it to toboggoning. When we got up there, there was no toboggoning. It was actually tubing. But I don't care because all of NCSY Shabatones is based on a lie. The only way you get people to come is by lying. Because if you told them the truth, they say, "What's going to happen?" He goes, "Well, you're going to come and we're going to put you in a home a mile and a quarter away from the Shaw and you're going to walk there and you're going to have to quickly take a shower and run back here so you'll sweat it up. And then just before Shabers, we're going to have the band play music and you're going to dance and become all sweated up. And then we're going to davenin. And then we're gonna have a speech. And then we're gonna dive in. And we're gonna have a ma a big meal. And then we're going to dance. Boys with boys and girls with girls. And then we're gonna have another speech. And then we're going to have educational sessions. And then we're going to come together and have another speech and eat something. And you're going to walk home and then come back in the morning. We're going to dive in for a very, very, very, very long time. Yeah. And we'll throw in a couple of speeches during davining. And then you'll go for the lunch. And then we'll dance. Boys with boys, girls with girls. And then we'll have another speech, educational session. And then we'll have free time, which is almost always cancelled because we don't have enough time. And then we're gonna have shas. Everyone's going to sit in a circle and tell sad stories. And then we're going to do which is going to take an hour and a half. And people are going to tell another sad story. And then you're going to go home and change. And we're going to have a Saturday night program which lasts about 15 minutes. And then we'll have a kit which will last four hours. [laughter] So when people say, "What's a shabatone?" It goes, "Oh, it's a great social weekend. >> [laughter] >> you'll have a chance to meet other kids. Saturday night we're having a band. Now, any smart kid would have said, "I noticed you left out all Friday and Saturday, so you got to Saturday night. Saturday night, we're going bowling." You know, cuz we cut out everything else. So, we just lie to people anyway, you know. Fine. So, so she said to me, "The seminar was all disorganized. We're going to do it perfect." And we sat for hours and hours and hours and planned every detail. We broke everything into all the groups. We had all the learning groups. We educational materials. We had everything all set up. It was unbelievable. When this was going on, David Adado, who was running San Diego, heard about it and said, "Could I come up?" It turned out that this was one of the biggest events in the entire region's history. And we wouldn't let anybody from the region [laughter] come. And they were like it's their region and I was like sorry you can't come it's our cuz you have three chapters participating with 170 people you know uh fine you know so uh so okay you know anyway so we planned it everything was perfect we get up to the camp two two of the buildings don't have any heat one of them didn't have any water cuz The pipe broke in the in the cold. The Arab fell down. So all these fancy things that I prepared, we had to bring everybody out into the snow and I read it from my room. Okay, here are the groups. Listen closely. And it was just everything that could go wrong go wrong. Why? Because [clears throat] me and Ry first were sure that we were smarter than everybody and we're going to do everything perfect. Perfect. And a kurb had other plans. It was one of the most successful shabatones that ever took place in in the region's history and a lot of kids became from a lot of people got involved. It was unbelievable in spite of the fact that all of our planning went arai. So, um I have been planning this PES program for at least 10 years, possibly 20 years. We came up to this hotel last year basically to check it out to see if it had what I wanted and uh I uh I I was very happy and I met with the manager Isra and I told him I want to take the hotel and make my own program next year and he says I'll get back to you. sukus time. I get a call from the manager says we'll meet in Jerusalem in this travel agency's office and I didn't know why we were meeting there and I said what we want to do and he says okay and it's fine I said I need x number of rooms for myself I need one for a kazin I need uh I need for day camp you know is that fine you know that sounds wonderful let's see what you do I said me I think I could fill up the hotel I never did this before in my life I don't know you know that People aren't usually making their pes by kaneka. I learned, you know. Anyway, so uh it turns out that the travel agency actually has the hotel, [snorts] but they don't speak any English. So we arranged with another travel agency to work with them. So I've got two different travel agencies who are actually in charge. And then after we've started to book people, etc., he says, "Well, I'm not giving you those rooms. I'll give you one room for every 12 rooms that you book. I said, there's only 150 rooms. I need 15 rooms. Even if I sell the whole hotel, I'm not going to get it. Ah, well, we'll give you some at the end if uh if you sell out everything, you know. Fine. So, of course, I didn't fill out by Kaneka because we they gave us very little time. And it was after Sukus that they finally finished the guy. I had like three weeks till Kaneka. So, they said, "We're going to start booking some rooms." And they booked a few rooms, you know, just to mess me up. And I went after it and I had the entire hotel filled by tubish [applause] all done. And when I first came up with this idea, my wife said to me, "What happens if there's a war up north?" [laughter] And I said, "We did that already. [laughter] We already had a war up north twice. There's not going to be another war up north. Don't worry about it. It's as safe as could be. It's completely secure. There's nothing to worry about. And then on PURM, [laughter] they started a war. Now, that was, for my point, was extremely poor planning. [laughter] But Donald Trump guaranteed us that in a few weeks it would all be over. [laughter] But apparently he was overly optimistic [laughter] because he also said that there's no way that they can shoot down any of our planes and then they just shut down one of our planes which uh is a problem. It's a problem. This is what happens when you elect a real estate guy to be president. You know what I mean? He tells you everything will be great. Don't worry about his finest, the biggest, the best, you know. So, uh, a lot of people cancelled. uh had some diehards who said we're going to go ahead anyway and then I had Americans who could not get here. They tried every way they could. They could not get here. Right? My uh daughter Yafa and my son-in-law said, "We will go through Egypt." Now, I don't know if you know this, but the Egyptians really aren't that friendly, [laughter] particularly to Jews. You know, there's a reason we celebrate Pesak as you mim [laughter] cuz we don't want to be there. Now, they also brought along uh because they do this for schools and for organizations and things. if if you're interested in this, you know, virtual reality glasses and they took their whole thing, filled up a suitcase and slept it from America. And then they landed in after their flight was delayed 8 hours. They landed in Cairo and then they traveled well they had to wait for the next flight which was delayed three hours and then they got to Charal and then they traveled three hours to get to the border and they go, "What's this?" He says, "It's for a family gathering." So he says, "No, we're going to take them away. We're going to this. We're going to that." And there's a lot of the So my son-in-law, you know, was fighting with them and arguing. And my daughter felt like, "Listen, there are a lot of armed Arabs here. [laughter] Just saying. You know, maybe it doesn't pay to fight with them when they have guns pointed at you. [laughter] that doesn't slow down somebody like he's an Israeli. He's used to seeing armed Arabs, you know what I mean? So somehow they get through, they have to pay off these people, you know what I mean? And they finally get it to the other side and Hashem, they're in Israel. And the Israelis say, "What's this?" [laughter] Israel family again. What 30 of them got? We're big family. What do you mean? You know, so fine. So we pay off some Israelis now [laughter] and they drive to a lot and they drive up to Yushaim to be able to get here. My daughter Mindy who works on NYU uh campus uh booked a direct flight on LAR and came in you know [laughter] the next day and I said Yav spent 35 hours to get here. [laughter] said, "How was it?" "Oh, it was terrible. This guy was sitting next to me. It was so grim, [laughter] but not everybody could get here. A lot of people really tried with a lot of mysterious nation." So, we had a lot of cancellations, you know, and I actually uh considered, you know, canceling the program. They said to me, "Look, we'll give you your rooms anyway, you know, keep the program going." and bor hashem when most of the hotels in Israel are between 20 and 30% full the noki merit mostly because of the rabbiowski program is about 70% full so [cheering] [applause] now I had had this great questionnaire with all kinds of questions where do you stay what do you have you have you coin lab you do you do this every detail it didn't work cuz all the people filled out the form didn't come. So, we suddenly got a whole bunch of new people and you know, we're trying the best that we can to put everything together. And I felt like I felt in big bear on two levels. One is all my planning was for Fallen. Everything fell apart. All my brilliant plans. And I have to say, having some experience, this is the most successful PES program I've ever been at. >> [applause] >> And I'll tell you what I think the most important thing is. And a lot of people have been coming over to me over over the Pesak and telling me the same thing. What a wonderful group of people. So high miss [applause] so nice. You know I had said on the podcast I wasn't looking for a five-star hotel. I was looking for a partial place. People said I thought I was coming to a dump. You know what I mean? [laughter] We're like, "No food. This is the best food I've ever had in any hotel. People told me I went to fivestar hotels. I didn't have food as good as this." You know, people were [clears throat] telling me the rooms are beautiful. The grounds are very nice. You know, and we have an outdoor pool. So do a lot of the other hotels, but it's been raining and cold. They can't use it. But we also have a little indoor pool, SO WE CAN GO SWIMMING. >> [applause] [laughter] >> SO uh what it means is if you have siata desmaya and I remember my father used to tell an old joke. He says this guy comes out of an alley with a gun and says stick them up. The guy says stick what up? Says don't confuse me. It's my first job. you know. [laughter] So someone came over to me and said, "This is my first basic program." I said, "Mine, too." [laughter] And he came over to me after and said, "I thought you were kidding. This is really your first basic program." [laughter] So I said, "Yeah." Then someone else came up to me and said, "You're not making any money on this." I said, "No, I'm paying for some of my rooms. I am paying for this to run this entire program because [cheering] [applause] my dream has always been to have a pesak program with this surrounded by good nice people and like I say anyone who comes here uh I don't and someone explain this to me I understand it in Israel they don't sell hotel they don't sell programs I don't even know what a program is they sell a tell. And then one night they'll give you uh you know the a lot duo, you know, with an accordion, you know what I mean? And a guitar. They're about 115 years old. [laughter] You know, and a couple of things someone playing the the spoons, you know what I mean? [laughter] They give you a little bit of entertainment that they throw in on the side, you know what I mean? But they don't really care because you came for the hotel and that's it, you know? And they they're concerned, I have a problem in this program. People are complaining. There's too much to do and the programs are overlapping. I SAID, WELL, I ONLY HAVE A WEEK. I'M trying to fit everything in. So, I have this going on at the same time and that going on at the same time, you know. And when I first decided I was going to make a program, you know, so I said, I can do this because I have an unusually talented family. Yeah. [applause] So last night which was mostly Shabas first Yaf and Schmal did their virtual reality thing for the people. People kept coming in different guests and doing the show. It was unbelievable. Then they went upstairs. My son Moshi Yehuda who has been on my podcast two times with his friends. He did a concert and a couple of his brother-in-laws, you know, played along with him and uh and some of the grandchildren came up to sing and I was like, someone said to me, this is an unusually talented family and Borak Hashem, they take after my wife. That's all I can say. [laughter] And my wife gave a sh, my daughter gave a sh. And there's just we don't have enough time. BUT NOT ONLY DO we not have enough time, but you have to understand that we have an unusually talented group. And people keep coming over to me and saying, "I can do this for the program." I said, "I'm trying to fit it in." As people complaining to me, I have too much in here, you know, but people keep volunteering different uh uh uh things that they can do and uh and just keep adding to it and it's just amazing. So I have to tell you that some of the people who have been on my podcast in the past are actually here. They're participating in the program etc. And so with this as my briefest introduction, [laughter] I would like to call up my first guest who has been on the podcast before and that is of course the mastermind of Torah Live who created the Rabbi Sitter [laughter] character, Rabbi Dan Ross. [applause] >> [applause] [cheering] >> Now, I know a lot of people thought if he's going to call me, I would have gotten dressed. I don't want that. [laughter] I knew I was going to be here, so I put on a tie in a jacket. But I figure everybody else, [laughter] >> you know, you guys turn up. >> Welcome to the Rabbi Alvski Pesak Show. Rabbi Dan. [applause] [cheering] Now you've been on the show already. >> Yeah. >> To talk about >> talk talk to the people for those people who might have missed this episode. Now I have to tell you every single week I meet people who said I didn't know you had a show and they stumble on it and they go back to the beginning AND WATCH SEVEN YEARS OF THIS and after that they have to go to rehab because [laughter] they start talking to people and they're like uh hi how are you goes it's ra [laughter] so remind the people about Torah life. >> Torah Life Alive is a way to enthrral young and old with the love of Tyra and Mits starring one and only Rabbi Sidd. >> By the way, I am the voice of Rabbi Sitter. [applause] Not only that, the character was drawn based on me. [laughter] I wish I was that square. I'm actually kind of round, but [laughter] otherwise it's about the same. Could I ever tell you the story by the way of the animator who became f from animating? >> No. >> So um one of the Israeli at the time uh animators on staff was animating Rabbi Sa and he'd listened to hours worth of you talking [laughter] about and exists. >> You know what? I'm going to stop you for a second. If you watch the Rabbi Sid Amuna series, those are just my shirum on Masil's that I gave in seminary that is said with more jokes and and cartoons, but otherwise it's all the same material. Yeah. [laughter] So, here he is and he's listening again and again. You have to repeat it. And he said he never really had a chance to learn. This is a guy who grew up in the Israel system. never exposed to the beauty of your toy and your thoughts and he said it really kind of sank in and had a deep effect on him and now he's religious and [applause] now this is something that I found mind-blowing you have statistics on where people are listening and watching Torah live where now I assume [laughter] I assume Brooklyn, the five towns. >> Yeah. >> Lakewood. >> Lakewood is number two, actually. >> Yeah. Um maybe uh you know uh uh uh uh Gold is Green Henden. >> What is that? [laughter] >> If you're going to ask that question, you're going to have to change your accent. [laughter] >> It's in an Arab country called England. >> [applause] >> Both of those neighborhoods are in a a city known as London Stand. Anyway, [laughter] so that okay, that makes sense. Abber India, we have someone from Ben Manasha who I didn't even know. I had to look them up what the Basha was, but there's a whole tribe of B Manasha out there. Wow. >> And uh they watch it and obviously down under in Australia very very popular there. Didn't you tell me a story once that you were in a school and >> this goes even better. Before Rabbi Sitter, I did a series for Rabbi Dan on conscious and he created this character called Rabbi Crumb >> Professor >> Professor Crumbly Corn [laughter] and I figured it must have been seen by about 12 people. You know what I mean? I'm in Melbourne, Australia and I'm speaking in a there and the kids are all going like this. [laughter] At the end they come up to me and say, "Are you Professor Crumbly Gorn?" [laughter] So yeah, I down in Australia of all places. [laughter] No, but there were some really weird places. >> Miami, >> Africa, [laughter] >> remind me. >> There was like Kenya or Zer or something like that. You had you printed up a whole thing to try to raise money. You're not doing too good right now. Yeah, [laughter] you're like all these weird countries all around the world. You said tour live is being listened to in all of these places. >> Yeah. >> Do you still work for this place? [laughter] >> How did I lose control of the show? Anyway, yeah. [laughter] >> You don't remember this? You had a hand out. I read it. I was I was blown away. First of all, how many people listen and then in how many different countries? >> Yeah, 100%. Everybody can check it out at toolive.com. We have some people here in the audience who are uh big of rabbi hands UP [applause] and um yeah where is Torah live going because you keep expanding. I I know this as Rabbi Sitter um it's such a fullervice type of a thing. He brings me in to do a whole series on gardening. Is that out yet? >> [laughter] >> on gardening. Rabbi Sid teaching about gardening. >> Then he has Rabida teaching kids how to play chess. >> Did that come out yet? >> Chess? Not yet. No. Coming to school. [laughter] >> So he keeps thinking, what could kids gain from in their life? >> So talk to me about Torah live 2030. Where do you see it? What do you envision? And every Jewish law, every hashkafra, every good character trait should be taught in the language of our generation. That the language that kids and adults can't really get enough of. We have three, four cameras right here. And this is the new way that our generation is communicating and Torah is infinite. It's above time. And what we have to do is take the most beautiful, gorgeous thing in the world and put it on the medium that our generation is just thirsty and dying to learn from. Thank you, Rabbi Dan. [applause] We have another person who was a guest on the podcast was here as well. He came on to the podcast to talk about his book about Purim and uh I don't think he really got enough attention at the time because it was the first time on the podcast. I want you to know I have a live audience here so it's much easier. But I used to uh just sit there and talk at a camera and talk to nobody. Why? because I've got 11 kids and I'm used to talking to nobody. So, it doesn't make it anyway. [laughter] Just kidding. But most people come on to the show and it's just it's a little intimidating because you're not used to just talking to nobody. You know what I mean? Most people when they talk to somebody they get some kind of response. I'm used to not having anything. [laughter] So, Rabbi Abby Lieberman who is a ramen Leavon and an author of many different books is here with us. Rab Lieberman, PLEASE. [applause] I GOT to say this is such a fun program. I'm having such a great time. You know, Rabbi Freed from the Seus tours used to make tours to Europe and he would bring me along and the reason he brought me along was he said I know if people see your picture they know I'll have a good time and that's all that we want to do is we want to have a good time a positive growth oriented. Welcome to the Rabbi Alowski. Welcome back to the Rabbi Alowski show. Really, [applause] >> thank you for the heads up. I appreciate it. I told you I'm calling out people at random and that's it. And I said if anybody doesn't come up, we just turn the camera and focus on them [laughter] and I'll just wait. >> Now, there's no way to hide that. You really don't prepare for this whatsoever. [clears throat] >> I have said this many times. People don't believe me, but people see this. When when [laughter] Jakob Schlommo comes, he's all set up in the living room. I turn to my say, "What should I talk about?" She goes, "I I don't know." You know? [laughter] So, the last podcast, which was all about talking nicely. She says, "You just did three podcasts about being nasty. Why don't you say something nice?" I was like, "Hey, [laughter] that's novel. I could do that." So, uh, [snorts] uh, Barry Lieberman, you you've been on PES. Have you been on the PEC program before? >> With you? >> Oh, only with me? >> Only with you? >> Where? We went to Gayways. We >> went together. We went to Florida one time. They went to minus the program. >> Oh, [laughter] we're a family for a program waiting to happen. >> That's right. >> We are the program. [laughter] >> But Gateway's got to be like, you know, five star, six star, seven star, an island somewhere, >> tropical place. So what did you uh what what's your impression of the pes problems taking place and what's happening you were on a panel Friday night talking about >> right yeah it's um it's real time this whole thing is real time right now it's real time um I never spoke about pesak so much in my life but I was preparing the book on puram so I spent a few months even through khan writing about pur pur now since the last pesak it's just been pes pes pes and like you said we're a group of very talented people, very thoughtful people and everyone just gave it their all and we're joined a group of people here who also are just very involved and appreciative which also is very helped to go forward [applause] and like I said there's a lot of the people themselves who want to contribute to the program so next year we're going to have to put out a 45page booklet [laughter] for Era of Pesak of all the things that we have planned and it's only going to grow from there so it gets bigger and bigger so uh Yeah. So, anybody who would like to reserve now, um, [laughter] and I have said this, uh, oh, I said it and it turns out to be true that our PES program has 70% less missiles than every other PES program in Israel. And that's my arrangement because they just they don't they don't want to hit me [laughter] >> cuz you don't die from missiles. What? >> You don't die from >> I don't die in missile attacks. We die from diabetes and heart disease. That's how we've gone for generations. That's how I intend to go. [laughter] >> So, do you want to share a PES thought story thought? As long as you're here and you've been writing about PES, >> didn't you just say you were working on Pesak? >> No. No. I said I've been uh I mean the kes program and we [laughter] [laughter] know I I think I I think the thought about is that we're trying to go through a point where we restrengthen our connection to our Judaism and toem and then we have at the end of the seder who knows one I know one right but also it went pretty loud and >> yeah by the way I don't know if you can notice this I lost my voice at the seder because I had um 130 or 40 people at the seder and they stuck me in the middle of the dining room because I don't have somebody who's working with me 100%. And I was screaming over everything and everyone came to me at the end and said that was such a beautiful seder I couldn't hear a word you said [laughter] and for that I lost my voice. screaming in the dining room screaming [laughter] and it's very hard to get your voice back when you lost it. In fact, there was one time one of my kids did something really crazy and I screamed at them to the point that I lost my voice and I had to speak that night for Mrs. Olawick about BONN [laughter] and I said I lost my voice preparing for this year. I was screaming at my kids. [laughter] >> Yeah. So, we we did the best we could. We did the best we could. >> And [laughter] one is Hashem. Two is what's two? What's three? Because writes in that now that we connect reconnected to Judaism. Do we think like a Jew? What does one remind you of? What is three? What is three? Do you start thinking like a Jew? And I think that's basis of most of your Shirum. You force people uncomfortably sometimes to think. >> Yeah. >> And that's Judaism. [laughter] We do. >> People don't like that really. >> Yeah, >> that's um that's the theme. >> Yeah, that's beautiful. [laughter] >> Ladies and gentlemen, R Liberman, thank you. [applause] Now, I mentioned this already that last night we had a concert and it was the Olowski concert because although every Olowski is talented and very musical and uh in fact next year we're going to be having I hope a women's concert and we're going to uh there are even people here who are willing to to participate and to run a kum. We just didn't have a time and a and a schedule this this year around. But of course, my son Moshi Yehuda, who is better known to the world as Moyo. Now on YouTube, the number one viewed uh uh episode that I had was Toby Singer, but the second and third most viewed were the ones with Moshi Yehudor Alavski and his friends from Waterberry who sang and it was Mamish just so and whenever we have it people say why doesn't Moyo come on the show ever again. And I said cuz now I can't afford him. But he's stuck here anyway. So Moshi Hudorowski, the famous Moyo. [applause] Take your time. There's no rush. [laughter] >> I wasn't prepared for this class to hold. >> Nobody is prepared. That's the point. This is candid. When you least expect it, you're elected. Pun smile. You're on the Rabowski show. So, [laughter] tell me about tell me about uh your contribution to Jewish music. I asked you this on the very first podcast and you went, "Yeah, it was good." So, the second time you rehearsed with your friends, but now I saw you last night and I was amazed cuz I saw [cheering] [applause] so polished, >> such charisma, such charm besides all the other talents that you have. So, how do you see Jewish music? And I mean, obviously there's, you know, different kinds of ones, but you know, your particular music. Where would you put it? [cough and clears throat] >> Um, so I like composing songs and I enjoy singing and playing. Um, but to me, I guess what music represents, it represents is just a space to express, to be honest, um, and to to connect to something in a deeper way than just words. Words, you know, maxes out at a certain place and then music enters a new realm. So, I'm trying to like sound super fancy. This is very on the spot. So, that's >> that's okay. That's okay. Don't worry about it. [laughter] We can edit it out if we THINK IT'S STUPID. THIS IS 2026. What are you worried about? [laughter] >> No, I mean when you when this not only the songs you wrote, but when you present it, you present it in with a message cuz it's not just the music. There's a message to the music. What's the message you want to give across to people? Because listen, it's it's it's no secret. you know, you were in Waterberry, you're automish, you got to see before you went onto the mirror and became the top guy in the mirror. But, you know, you you went through that. And by the way, he's still available. So, anyway, [laughter] well, I'm looking for a girl of really special qualities, wonderful midos, and rich, rich, rich, rich. Because [laughter] not only do I want him to be kept in the position to which he is going to custom, I expect to make a few dollars on the DEAL MYSELF. SO, [laughter] WE'LL BE OPENING THE BIDDING. NO. So that when you approach, I don't have to tell you this and I'm not going to name names, but there are certain people who get up who are skillful in their music, but they're plastic, you know, and you come in with a with a message and a mission. I mean, that's how I felt when I heard you singing. How would you define that? Um, yeah. I think I think it just comes down to authenticity. I think today I think today what people are craving um it's becoming clear just by seeing that like today every every other guy puts out a song like there's so many people putting out music. I think people are >> you know you can make it up with AI today. >> Yeah. >> Somebody showed me he says I said to AI write me a song like this and like this and this and pushes the button and the song comes out. There's no nothing. Nobody composed it. There was nothing there. >> Yeah. It's like killing creativity in a certain way. But I think you could I I'm of the opinion that you could sense where a song came from. You hear a song, you could feel if it came from the heart. At the same time, AI is getting good enough that it could trick you that it came from the heart. So it's like Groucher Mark said, the most important thing is sincerity. Once you can fake that, the rest is easy. So but I I disagree. I because you said this when in the music is it speaks directly to the nama. It goes it goes beyond the words. It goes inside of it. And like the za kadesh says that uh uh the shar nagina next to the shar chuva. And so it has a power to be able to transform when it's real. And when it's plasticky I I I believe you can tell it. You can tell when somebody's not real. >> Yeah. I think you can sense it. That's why today I think a lot of people are are craving just like real real. People want real from the heart even if it's not fully fully 100% polished and show and professional. That's why the singer songwriter style I think today is taking off much more the isbo type of singers. Um, so to me, I just try to I just try to share what's happening for me in a real way and I try to be present and authentic and if that's able to go over then I don't know [applause] I don't know told you when I was in LA AB Rottenberg was there he was working in the in the school and sometimes they'd invite me over I was a buck invite me over for dinner one night and he'd come home and as his wife was setting everything up he would sit down at the piano and just start playing and I didn't recognize what he was playing and I said to his wife once what's he playing and she said his day he could just sit down and take whatever his experiences were and turn to music which is if you go through is what Melik did this happened to him he wrote a misb this happened he wrote a ketim this happened everything that happened in his life turned into that song you know so I mean I see the way that you compose and I can't compose music I don't It doesn't, you know, it's a gift that is a mat from aeshu um and uh that that it just comes from the inside >> and it's not there, you know, >> right? So you have or you don't or you have AI. [laughter] >> Thanks, Jim. Mayor Olowski. [applause] Now, I don't know if I mentioned this, but we have an unusually talented family. Yeah. [laughter] And one of the treats that we did last year is that I had a grandson who made his own radio show that he sent out to everybody to play on the drive up. So this year I told him to do the same thing and to send it to all of the participants. Did everybody here get a copy of the radio show? Yeah, some people didn't weren't able to open it or whatever it was, but you know I don't know about technology but uh uh to be able to put it together. I'm happy to have the number one disc jockey in Israel with us today, Mosha Cayam Lieberman. I should point out that today is my father-in-law's site Mosha Kim Gans who [clears throat] Mosha was named for him. So this is definitely a special treat. Mo, how do you go about making a radio show? >> So I thought about it like two years ago or something to start doing radio show. >> How long beforehand did you work on it? I think of ideas already like a month before something and then I record it the pen sometimes like a night before, two nights before. >> So it's not just songs though. >> Yeah. Also more stuff like >> you have like sticks and stuff. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And your father helps you with them sometimes. >> Yeah. He helps the most. >> Yeah. So what was the funniest bit that you put in in the past two years that you think you think you'd listen to that and you say I can't believe how unbelievably talented I am. [laughter] So, I think the interviews they're funny, but not only me, it's also my father. He knows how to imitate a lot of voices. >> Yeah, but you have to come up with a concept and tell him what to do, right? >> He mostly thinks of the ideas. >> Okay. Well, that's [laughter] work with me here, kid. Okay. I'm trying TO [laughter] YEAH. SO, UH, so between you and your dad, what do you think was the funniest bit you came up with? [laughter] >> The interviews. There's like we do like two interviews usually. Each one they're all of them funny. And also, >> which interview? >> This year I did two interviews. I did. One of them was Mati's Pizza as if I'm interviewing him from a pizza store and like he like opens his store in Pesak and like I find out and he's like oh no I don't. And then there's another interview that he's like very like he's like as if expert for safety and then like ask him all different questions and he says like all different stuff about safety that like no has to say. [laughter] >> Well I thought last year you had the one where you interviewed the atahara. >> Yeah. So that really idea it came from uh we were listening to some stuff like in from camp roamu >> they would do stuff from that came the idea >> and uh my father thought [laughter] >> okay well you've contributed absolutely nothing over here so [laughter] you're lucky you're cute that's the most important thing [laughter] we just have you here for your looks all right ladies and GENTLEMEN LEAVE THEM >> [applause] >> UM, WE THERE'S ANOTHER concert going on now that we're supposed to go to. I don't really know anything about it cuz the hotel arranged it. I gave him a suggestion for a couple of people and they said no. So, uh, so I don't know how it's going, but I'm sure it's very good because he definitely is good-looking and he has a a keyboard. So, I'm [laughter] I'm sure that's going to be a lot of fun. Is Schlommo here? >> Schlommo. Oh, I gotta tell you, this is [laughter] Schlommoki was on the show only once to talk about how to make a barbecue cuz he was the proprietor of Schlime's meat. And Schlime's Meat, he finally closed it down because he realized that this was an enormous amount of work and it wasn't making any money. So, [laughter] uh, he spent a tremendous amount of time perfecting a skill and now he's going into computers. But last night he debuted for the first time the uh, Schlommoki comedy extravaganza. And so I'd like to invite to the show for the second time Schlommoki. [applause] By the way, if you hear me starting to introduce you, you should start coming up already and not wait till I finish the introduction till I go uh it always amazes me when you go to uh aa and there's like some godador who's like 115 years old and HE HE'S SITTING IN THE BACK AND they introduce him and he's like >> [laughter] >> And there's an old mini that they have to use a sound system from 1942, you know. So they go [laughter] like go and he slowly gets up, SIT UP FRONT. YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING. [laughter] ANYWAY, welcome to back to the Rabi show. from all [cheering] [applause] great to be back. It's great to be back. >> So, you told me after your tremendous hit uh last night, which not only was it unbelievable, but it was unbelievably surprising cuz no one think you were going to be successful. Nobody. [laughter] All the family among themselves were talking, "Oh my gosh, this is going [laughter] and you killed it. YOUR MOMAGE KILLED IT. >> [applause] >> NO, WHEN I mean that he literally took out a knife and killed people. I mean, it was like that's a show that kills. You know what I mean? [laughter] But you told me there was some material you left out that you forgot to use. >> Yeah. Well, to be fair, you were the first person who told me I wouldn't be successful. >> Yeah. But but to be fair, I was only repeating I was only repeating what I heard. Okay. It wasn't. [laughter] It's like the old joke where the the the guy comes over to the rough and he says, "You're a phony. You're a liar. You're a crook. You're a He's all upset." And the Shamish says, "Ah, don't listen to that guy. He just repeats what he hears." Anyway, [laughter] so you were very successful, right? I mean, you surprised yourself even. [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, >> but you told me afterwards you left out some material, >> right? So, which answer do you which question do you want to answer? [laughter] Just just keep talking. I'll keep interrupting you with [applause] basically we want to see how you handle high stress situations. [laughter] >> Two completely different questions. So, >> by the way, >> you like pizza and what's your favorite color? [laughter] >> I just want to throw out also he did a routine on dating. So, after we sell Moshi Yehuda, [laughter] we're we're putting him up for money, too. So, >> it was actually propaganda. I've never been on a date before, so it's only [laughter] don't believe what you see on the news. >> Okay, that means anyway. [laughter] >> Ladies, ladies, he's unbroken. You're going to start out with nothing. You won't know any difference. You know what I mean? >> I actually have been on the podcast twice, but the first time was so forgettable. >> Oh, that was when we did that was during co was me and you and Yakob. Yeah. >> To be fair, I didn't say a word. >> You didn't say a word. [laughter] >> You sat there with a Mexican hat, you know. Also, I didn't know I was coming up now. That's why I'm not dressed. So, I apologize for that. >> It's [laughter] okay. We did this on purpose. No, the next person I'm calling up is not wearing anything. So, that's really [laughter] >> I would have >> just for ratings. That should be unbelievable. >> I would have I would have at least worn my [laughter] nice hoodie. >> I would have I would have worn my shave hoodie if I didn't I would have worn my uh my nicer Crocs. [laughter] >> That's a lie. I have only one pair of Crocs. >> You only have one pair of Crocs. Anyway, I'm telling you. >> So, uh uh So, but you said there was some material you didn't get a chance to do. So, here's a chance for you to share it with the general public. >> I'm not sure if that's a great idea. I [laughter] >> Well, I had originally I had originally had a lot of material that I worked on, but um you know, you got to test it first. And the few people that I tested it on, when I got to the punch line, you know, expect maybe a giggle or something, and they were like >> [laughter] >> Okay, maybe it's not the best. >> I'll tell you the truth though. >> One year they were um uh they were doing the uh or pur play, >> right? >> And I watched the opening. I said, "This is so dumb. You can't do this. It's going to be bizus. You can't do it." >> And they were like, "Yeah, well, we already rehearsed it." So, and it went over great. People loved it. >> Yeah. To be honest, I I was really really nervous. I almost didn't do it till the last second. There was some guy literally in my ear telling me, "Are you sure you want to do this?" [laughter] >> That wasn't me. >> Shout out Ellie. [applause] He was like, he was like, "What if you're going to bomb? WHAT IF [laughter] EVERYONE HATES YOU?" I WAS LIKE, "WHAT?" NOW, now that you say it, maybe I don't know. But no, once I got on, I was actually very comfortable after I fell flat on my face, you [laughter] know. No, it was a it's not that he got a bad reaction. He literally fell on his face. You know, [laughter] >> I had a few seconds there where I was debating what to do. Either run out of the hall and just [laughter] >> That's one of the good things of falling and hurting your leg. You can't run away now. You're sort of stuck there. You know, [laughter] >> I have a few seconds as as my face is uh you know, unsticking from the stage. >> [laughter] >> My brother-in-law David Lickman teaches he's he's the RV in a prison. >> So, talk about a captive audience, [laughter] but I'm bummed. [laughter] >> We'll be here all night, folks. [laughter] >> So, the average I have to tell you also, I've had stuff that I thought was really funny and I would say it over to family members. I'm not mentioning anybody in particular, my wife. And [laughter] she'd say, "I don't I don't I don't know if that's uh that's going to go over so well. I don't know if it's, you know," and I said, "Yeah, I'll give it a shot." You know, >> and uh and uh it usually went over pretty well. >> Yeah. So, they they told me the same thing on some drugs. I won't say who, Mindy, BUT UM [laughter] um yeah, they told jokes. No, but but there was one joke that I did want to actually do [laughter] that I forgot where it was it works better with the crowd work, but I was going to say >> Yeah, >> I was going to say uh let's uh let's start off with a little knock-knock joke. You know, a little classic knock-knock joke. So, um All right. I got a great knock-knock joke, right? Go for it. Say knock-knock. >> Knock-knock. Who's there? [laughter] All right. I don't think you understood the concept, but uh [laughter] and uh I was going to continue from there. But um honestly, the second I got into the stage, I forgot all my material. [laughter] I looked back at my phone. And I was like, listen, you see people sometimes get on stage like this has to prepare and they get up there and they go, [laughter] you know, so those of us who do this for a living, we make it look very easy, but it's really not to get up in front of a crowd and to be able to talk and especially look, sometimes I I, you know, present some jokes and they don't go over so well. So someone says, "So what do you do?" I said, "I can always fall back on the Torah. I can just I can play the rabbi card, you know what I mean? And like so whereas for me like if >> there's no joke like you can't go into a Torah, you know, [laughter] this guy's walking down the street, you know, there's an interesting rashi, you know, it's like, [laughter] you know, you're kind of stuck there. Like you just really you're committed at that point. [laughter] Actually, a fun fact about me is I have terrible stage fright actually, which is really ironic. >> I when I started out, I'm incredibly shy. I've always been shy. And [laughter] >> let me explain to you what I mean by that. I one time went to America where they do table seating for a and it was one of Khan's kids who was getting married in uh in America and so apparently there's a system here when you do table seating you try to put one live wire at a table to like carry the table and in his mind that was me and I sat at the table quietly I drank the water and I ate all the pickles and [laughter] which is my minute and I didn't make eye contact or talk to anybody. When I'm here in Aris and they don't have seating, I go to a bar mitzvah. I look for an empty table. I sit there and they bring me my little plate with four different types of starches. You know what I mean? [laughter] potato cougle, noodle coole uh um a berea in the shape of a swan and [laughter] uh and uh and grilled vegetables that were grilled during the Bengorian administration, [laughter] you know. I sit at my table, I eat my thing, I look at my watch, I leave, I say masletov, and I go, you know, I won't talk to anybody. That's by nature. I'm a I am a shy person, you know. I I worked to overcome it, but by nature, you know, but when I first started out, I had zero self-esteem. I would get up and I would speak and intellectually I knew it was dynamite and I would I would walk away and I would throw up or just start gagging. I was so humiliated. I said, "I made such a fool of myself. I can't believe I did that." Intellectually, I knew I was successful. you know, and that's how I think when you uh [laughter] >> No, the thing is I I inherited all of that and um [laughter] I I haven't worked on myself yet. So really, I'm at just that stage. >> I I can understand. >> So where's where does the uh Schlamorowski comedy career go from here? >> That's a great question. Uh if you asked me that last night before my show, I would have said, you know, it's going nowhere. Um [laughter] this this is my >> Right. But now that you're a hit, now that it's a hit. I don't know. >> You know, they are they have comedians in Israel who work for the American community. I I remember reading once an article about this guy and this was his this was one of his jokes. He says, "I can stop aliyah right now. Just pass a law that every boy has to be called dudy and every girl has to be called oat." And that [laughter] that was his joke. Now, I would never tell a joke like that cuz it's disgusting. But [laughter] I think you could use it. >> I think I think maybe I'll say all of the unfiltered [laughter] jokes that you don't. >> There's a lot of jokes that >> And then I have to take responsibility for >> There's a lot of jokes that I filter out, you know. [laughter] >> Really? >> Yeah, I really do. I did. I know it seems like I have no filters but you know [laughter] >> even the filter has a filter >> but even the yeah I I really sometimes you know and uh sometimes people set it up for you and you're like no [laughter] and there are certain people I won't mention their names but they always come up to me and say I'll ask you I have to tell you a joke and I said why you've never told me a joke yet that I can say in public you know what I mean they're all borderline inappropriate they're not >> [laughter] >> But the malish, you know, just just enough just enough that I can't get away with it. You know what I mean? Um, I'll give you an example. You know, [laughter] don't think we need to. >> This is this is a joke. It's an old Jewish joke. I would never tell it over in public, but I'm I'm just >> Would you like me to tell it for you? >> I'm I'm bringing this as an example of the kind of joke that I would never tell. Was that [laughter] this woman passes by a store and she sees all these shoes in the window and she says, "Oh, that might look nice on me." And she goes in and there's an old man sitting behind the table and he's learning. So she says, "I'd like to see the blue shoes in a size six." He says, "Lady, this is not a shoe store." [laughter] He says, "What is it?" He says, "I'm a mile." He says, "A mile?" He says, "So why do you have shoes in the window?" Said, "Lady, what do you want me to put in the window?" [laughter] Now, I would never tell a joke like that cuz it's mish [laughter] just enough off. >> I'm do not approve that message. [laughter] And I want you to know I work very hard to keep a sada shave on this on this podcast because like for example there are a lot of interesting uh ladies that I would like to interview but I know I have certain people who I have a big following in the community. I have a lot of you know very I meet people in in Lakewood and they say to me oh I listen to the podcast. I said I said uh where do you watch it? He goes I don't watch it. I call up Torah any time and listen on the phone and I was like, "Oh, of course you do." [laughter] I didn't even know watching was an option. They took me off of Nucky Radio. [laughter] Apparently, I'm just not nucky enough. And on 246, I come with a warning label. [laughter] Adult material not appropriate for children. [laughter] 18 plus. No, what it should really say is not appropriate for adults either. I wouldn't feel so bad. You know what I mean? [clears throat] All right. Share one last joke. [laughter] >> Oh, you're putting me on the spot. >> Of course, I'm putting you ON THE SPOT. I CALLED YOU FROM THE BACK OF THE ROOM WITH NO preparation and you came in in a hoodie. You know what I mean? [laughter] LIKE >> CUZ I'M PUTTING YOU ON the spot. >> Yeah, but even for you, this is cruel. >> No, but you collect you you collect drugs. I know you collect drugs. Yo, but I'm saying you have a a So you go in there and one joke's lead to another. It's not just like a joke where you just say, you know, a guy walks into a bar says, "Ouch." Like, it's not that simple. [laughter] >> A rabbi, a priest, and a minister walk into a bar. >> The thing is, the thing is, >> a rabbi, [laughter] >> a rabbi, a priest, and a minister walk into a bar. The guy says, "Can I help you?" They said, "No, we're here to make a joke." I thought it's a [laughter] rabbi, a priest, and a duck. >> I never heard it that way, but okay. >> The thing is with comedy is it's very like um no, on the spot, you find these perfect jokes that you want to slide in there, but then there's that joke that you just can't say. And I learned this from you when there's a really good joke that you want to say, but you can't do it. You [laughter] hit one of these. >> I know which one you're thinking of now. >> But you're right. A lot of a lot of humor is observational and a lot of my children have picked this up for me. My wife hates it and uh and she doesn't believe it, but a lot of my kids are like me that we go someplace and we say, "What do you think the deal is with that guy? [laughter] What What was that girl thinking?" And we talked about it. One time I was driving with Yafa and we stopped to stare at somebody and she smashed into another car and like you know [laughter] she said IT'S NOT MY FAULT. I was I was uh looking at the guy you were pointing at in the next car. You know what I mean? Like you know so it is observational. A lot of it is observation. And people say well you're just budding into people. I said no I'm an observant Jew. [laughter] That's a good one. You can use that one if you want. I'm done with it. [laughter] The problem is when I when I asked you if I could do a comedy show, you told me, "Yeah, just one thing. Just please keep it clean." I was like, "Really? Do I have to?" And you're like, "Yeah, you do." So, I used up all my nonclean material and have nothing left. [laughter] I have no jokes to say that are appropriate. >> My my brother Jason, it [clears throat] was just his. And uh he uh I I'm the quietest one in my family. I'm one of six boys. I'm the quietest one. My brothers are hysterically funny, you know. And uh and and Jason said to me once, he goes, "I don't understand." He says, "Um," he says, "I'm much funnier than you.
