the previous what trip are you talking I am talking about a trip all the way up North on the fly-in the movoxham fly-in it was incredible Lakewood Muncie why you the all hell right by Weinberger Brooklyn I mean you can't you can't uh all over all over you can't even unbelievable 23 guys flew in for two and a half days we met with uh rabbis roshi Yeshiva Community leaders David Lichtenstein a friend Aries turned shyster and hosted us for incredible evenings and it's all just to light the spark and to get excited and light that fire and there are people who've gone on the trip previously who started taking up serious total study started to explore their duties more seriously as a result of this trip powerful spiritual singing dancing learning growing six in the morning we went to the the balabatum Colo hundreds of people in a room learned six to seven diving at seven a quick breakfast off to work we were part of Dallas Gala breakfast don't forget Gala breakfast salad breakfast you ran into one of your uh one of my roommates one of your bangs ran into one of your Rabbi stefanski buddies oh that's right that's right Levin we saw uh amazing amazing at first of all the best part right before that right you were signing some autographs [Laughter] it was an amazing moment that whether it was in the halls of BMG in Lakewood or tour of Brooklyn and certainly why you yeah we got stopped by people who were like I love behind the beam I love behind the bema it was you know flattering very nice very gratifying but there was one kid who told the Das who's talking to me all about behind the Beeman's favorite episodes and I love it and one of the other members of our trip goes you know that's that's right by Brody he's awesome and the kid looks over at you and he goes yeah for me now I'm going to get emails exactly we were we were talking to there was a whole group of special needs kids that were walking through the wall the halls of torvidas it was an amazing experience this beautiful program they have that match there special needs studying in the Shiva they feel they're part of the Yeshiva yeah really I asked one of the boys I I said what are you doing you learn you're learning here he says yeah what I said what are you what are you learning he says Torah anyway it was a great trip we'll have an opportunity to unpack that more in the future all the people we met and the special moments that came out of it and how we were uplifted and some of the messages and stick with us yeah the singing I'll tell you that the the trip I don't want to say it can be anywhere but you got to leave your element sometimes you got to just break out of your routine leave your element your natural habitat just be able to have some self-awareness introspection get out of yourself and look at yourself and that's what I think really stimulates and provokes growth and breakthrough and not everyone has that luxury it's not always so easy but when we can I think to a degree I give a little bartora but the the Charlotte Regal comes from hair girl means routine the shoulders were gone they break up the routine perms come and then pesach you know each of these major holidays it just breaks up the routine so that we can and get excited about something break out of ourselves a little bit I was at a wedding on Sunday night right by Brody a guy comes up to me and he says you know I never learned gamara my whole life I can never connect with it I never succeeded with it he said but ever since Rabbi Brody took on took on mky not mky mdy d-y versus Zombie Brody started Robbie stavansky's daf he goes I did too I haven't missed a day he said Rabbi Brody Dylan stefansky's Duff inspired me and that was inspired by behind the bema so I tell you we've had some tremendous feedback really gratifying whether it's you to Kona Beatles Rocky emailing us that someone listened to behind the bema in Israel had never heard of bit elizaki asked if they could come see it and made a major donation to the person who says I started learning the dafion because Rabbi Brody's learning the dafiomi so it's fun and games it's amazing that's a great hobby but they're beautiful things that come out of it and I tell you you know you mentioned before who do we bump into we bumped into a lot of different very exciting people but just getting a chance to see one of my Rebellion from high school just imagine all of your Rebellion from high school getting a chance to see you know who you are where you've become and even even just the guys on the trip it's just anyone

host Robert with us I'm behind the Beamer of Tigger a talmud really a close confidence and as we're approaching the the Earth site which I know is very painful for you ravory and for all of Claud Israel to think and to imagine it's been a year without the saratora a year without the godo without we'll get to the Rob's whole story which is extraordinary but what what is this your excite me to you is this a difficult day how has life changed in this year without refine I told people a few days ago that after a crime passed away I actually I didn't feel nothing just three months after his period I started to feel something because it's much traumatic for me is a person with drama didn't feel nothing just three months after his period I started to feel the he saw him of more on the south and every day is become stronger and stronger we need more on the attack we have so much questions we have so much things we need to ask him no way he's not here and it's so all the years everything little and big everything every step we ask him and suddenly it's all gone we don't have that address our questions so riftiger you know people look at you now today you know there are people listening people watching you have a long beard and a big black keeper but yamaka you were a harusive and and you edited this forum of reprim but that's not the way your life always was right now your life began it's not who people see here today so take us all the way back to your childhood and the way that you were raised and the beginning of this journey because I I heard the story and I we had to have you on it's so inspiring to know like a modern-day Arabia Kiva no matter what age no matter what stage of life no matter what one's beginning the opportunity to get involved in Torah learning and Torah teaching and to get to the point of being a javrusa whether tell us about your childhood I was normally Israeli secular from secular Israeli family normally like all the secular Israeli not something we're not something strange like everyone in the neighborhood in the city I was learning secular School and when I was 11 years old my grandfather my father's father passed away and one of my fathers friends he approached him and convinced him to start going to the show and my father actually when he was young he also learned in Yeshiva but he his parents are divorced and he took it very hard and they go out from the Yeshiva I stopped learning over there and after that he met my mother that she came from a very traditional family just kiddushon lunchhabis and not eating metal milk together and that's all the the there was the whole religious things in the house when he met her she's she asked him why you don't you need the the yamaka we're not religious people so remove the Yama kind they married without it so until my grandfather's passing we lived like a circular people normally where was it which name which neighborhood which city is it in Tel Aviv so in 11 years old when my grandfather's I think he started to go to the shoe and say kadish for his father every morning and after it they convinced him to continue with the observance and he started to go on Chavez also and the first time we go with him to the shul was in Chavez and after the prayers ended we're going to the house as usual just the the prayer was in the house that's all maybe kinoshu was also I think at the start for for sure there wasn't the kid maybe after it became but after the the Thriller ended so we loved every shot every Shabbos to go to the pool there was a large public pool exactly in front of the shul so few minutes before that feeling ended we go out from the show run at home and took our swim clothing and took a different route to hide from the people who get out from the show I we want we we don't want the people from the show now that we're going to the pool who opened on Chavez so it took a different way and after it there was another thing happened that my sister was going to arahim organization and she was very inspired from what she heard and one day she came home and said from now on no more lights on Shabbos and of course of course no more TV either no more TV either and I was 11 years old and I was addicted to the the TV was my life and how can I do shows without TV and it was a mess in the house I tried to fight her no you you uh not turning on lights on Chavez it's okay but TV you know it's too much so we argue and finally with the company with the compromise to record them all the movies we record them on Chavez and watch them after Shabbos ended that was the first level of the observance it became better and better and we start accepting as we grew and uh uh a few years after is the Yeshiva stuff from now but you were you were 11 years old when you're first and started to keep and started to keep the Shabbat how did you how did your parents feel when your sister was bringing home this religion and the new rules in the house there wasn't a objection but they didn't love it so much but it wasn't there wasn't a objection I was the opposition I was the opposition because the movies right because of the movies and then so then you know that my initiation is so bad but the little English that I know is just from the movies in the school English is excellent English is excellent so the you started going to Yeshiva there was a change from the public school to the issue so a few years after they decided that it's not appropriate for us to continue in the secular institutions that we were in so they removed me and my brothers to religious school I was in the barilan high school in Tel Aviv it was they were learning three First hours a day they were learning gamore and after a little all day long we talked and the gamare that they learned they learn it like Annie mcsoya any other mixora it's a like they learn mathematics there is mitsua gemore it wasn't Gamora you know with douche with the taste Yiddish guy it was like any subject not his geography I didn't I mommy she didn't like like the the situation it's not talking to me like that to to London and three years I spent in this ishiva in barilan high school in Tel Aviv and in the ninth grade I didn't was in the in the Shiva almost the whole year because I was the Gabe of our school the same shoe that my father started going after a few years I became the Gabe because the Gabe is is moved he no longer lived over there and I became one of the Gabon and except this I was also the valkyrie since uh 13 and a half years old I became the balcony over there so I have the key for the shoe and I don't want to continue going to barilan so every morning my mother thinks that I'm going to the Yeshiva in Berlin and actually I was going to the shoe I locked myself over there and study missionary all day long with the explanation of the water I didn't yet know how to learn Gamora alone so that's what I can do at the time how did you have the patience you are 13 years old 14 years old yeah to learn mission of the entire day by yourself without a teacher without other uh can today that I'm looking today this day to those days I I think that I asked myself the same question but in those days it was tremendous I have so much devotion culentoro today it's amazing to think about it but in those days it seems to me normally what were you from 11 year old secular at the pool on Chavez to now sitting and learning mishna all day by yourself locked in the show yeah yeah what were your friends saying at this point I didn't think that they knew about it at all my father at that time is in a very bad situation in his business and the whole family was one big mess my father at the time leave the house left the house and the economic situation in the house was very very bad everything was messy my sister was in the Army my brother in Yeshiva I was locking the shoe you know everyone over there was busy with his own things so my friends I don't think they they knew at all what I'm doing they just knew that my family is big one mess and they didn't ask me what I'm doing all over the day they just know that I'm not coming to the Yeshiva just one in a month to show my face wow so locked in the shoe all day learning mishna until when until seven o'clock at night and seven o'clock I go out from the show and come back home and I was the Manish momish nervous that my the the school would call my my mother and told her that it didn't show up but well consumer didn't call because the Palm Bay won a month and something like this that I'm going they see my face so they didn't call they saw me at the school anytime amazing story because it's not normal you know today if I'm not sending my son to the hey there even one day I I I get a call one month I didn't I didn't was there and no one calls unbelievable so how many years was that ninth grade 10th grade today I'm 46 years old it was when I was 14 years old yeah it was 32 years or years ago before wow so you're sitting learning English now when did you start Gamora when did that change it became after there was one Rabbi in the Shoal who learn gamore Shabbos afternoon foreign [Music] and this like this a little by little I start to understand how the aramic worlds are what the words meaning and it was you know on low level but that was the start after it I go to another show in in Tel Aviv where I lived and there was another showroom of Gamora and I start to understand the how the gemore works was there a point where you had a lot of questions you didn't grow up like this so so who'd you ask your questions to not just about the mishna or the gemara just about them yeah no I never had you didn't know this is the truth I never had questions about the money it seems to me so obvious that there is in the world I haven't any questions about it wow wow so you finished high school or you finished not going to high school yeah what was next the next thing that after all the ninth grade that I locked myself in the show so finally at the end of the year I told my mother the whole story what's going on in the hall last year she was shocked about the story but after it I told him I can't continue like this I needed a seriously Shiva so we start looking for a serious Yeshiva normally Yeshiva inert is Royal not accepting someone like me he never learned in in a normal place from place I mean so we try to relate kabel to some issue except Swami shivas and they don't want me um there was one person and he connected with me with yeshiva's um and I go to one of the rabbis he do me a test he saw that I'm not so bad in gamore and they accept me today Shiva that was the the test that they do they do to me and there were no friends you don't go with friends from Tel Aviv no no no it was just me just you and how was Yeshiva how did it go to start there the start was not going not going well because as I said at that time all my family was falling apart my father left the house my mother was not working my sister was in the Army so I wasn't in the school as they as the family thought that I should do and I wasn't in good um good spirit a good spirit good spirit yeah I wasn't in good series so I wanted very much to learn but when I entered the Shiva it's not working I spent many hours in bed and not come out to learn regularly and it took me three years to understand what I really want to do with my life just from the age of 15 to the age of 18 I didn't did almost nothing in the Yeshiva I just wrote many many different Museum and many stories about it they came from Israel and it gave me a very much but in learning managed to learn seriously I didn't learn until the age of 18. just the age of of 18 I started to learn seriously there is another problem in those three years 15 until 18 didn't like me so much it seems to me that he didn't like me so much so when I entered the Shiva I would show that they welcomed me with open arms and shower me with love but it not happened except the other things of the family issues this treatment that I didn't received from the roshoshive was very bad to me I mamish needed the worm of the roshishibe and it's it's not happened it's not it's not happened so finally three years gone from my life I ready to pay million dollar to to recycle these three years but I can't but three years in the Shiva go for nothing just at the age of 18 I started to take life more seriously and I started to learn Michigan order from beginning to end and Bo Hashem I knew I love her very well and there was some rabbis in the Shiva who bring their local questions to me so I finally start to be connected to your learning seriously in a seriously way after it after three years um sometimes your Shiva came to me and told me that he he understand that I'm drawing to the field of aloha but he advised me that to be a RAV inamis Royal I first need to know all the Shahs and without it all their local knowledge is leaking so he advised me to start studying shots regularly and he will test me on every machete that they finish so first before enter my union finally not ignoring me he knows that I'm alive and I accept this challenge I think it's a good advice I accept this Challenge and I started to learn chance and it says me on every machete that I finished but because I wasted for nothing three years for my life I wanted to do now everything much more faster so I decided I want to finish us within six months and I started to learn myself to happen after a Saturday 21 Pages a day it was seven pages in each say there and it was amazing I hardly eat I hardly slept it was vomish very difficult time for me but I knew that if I want to success with this I need to do it properly in a short time because people listening so people listening understand the people who learned that filmi one page a day takes seven and a half years yeah there are some people he learned but he learned chass every year yeah two shots in six months is not believed it's unbelievable no I I have to be honest I just learned Gamora Rashi it wasn't with him unfortunately okay 19 years old level it was fine most of the things I hope so and six months and 19 years old and you weren't just reading it it was you know I was understanding yeah wow wow and and you met the goal you finished in six months all shots yeah after six months as well Mommy the happiest person in the world that I able to finish the chest in the first time in my life as well mom is married what a CM that must have been it was nice to you yeah it was nice you my mother came to the Shiva it was amazing six months unbelievable wow world record wow and now you finish up another time you know I'm too old wow wow wow so where did you go from there the Russia Sheba noticed you you finished us you know the secular kid from Tel Aviv now is becoming something yeah one or two years I became married but before I get married because of my economic situation at home was so bad because my father wasn't there my mother didn't work so I needed money for by Sam's foreign that I needed to study all my friends and Imlay Shiva had Library full of story and I had nothing I had I had the money to vote and it's foreign so I looking for a type of work that could bring me some money when I'm inside the Yeshiva discovered there is book publishing Institute that looking for proofreader to over to go over his forum and find mistakes and typos Hashem I am not a talented I'm not a talent person but one Talent Hashem is my child childhood that the ability of proofreading I always was good in proofreading even I read the paper I find the mistakes in the paper and everything I read I find something wrong so I have the ability of proofreading and the both Hashem I get the job and it's give me a fish call him and I start to do by Foreign among all these forums that I bought started to bought I also bought a prime kanyevsky that sells foreign because in our Yeshiva I was one rabbi who once a week it was a family member with a friend and once a week there is a shield in the issue called Maison oil it was sippu it was stories about Royal Israel and many many stories he told us about the crime so since I was in the Yeshiva on all the time hearing there is one Jewish very very serious very very big time in Nebraska and sit and learned the whole world knows about him because of time and I heard it very very very much stories about him so it was part of my it's me I grew with the stories so when I had the money I want to buy all the times for him I I heard so much about him I want to learn his story right now so I bought this for him in the started learning regularly especially the safer the harmony by the crime on all say this captured me and I studied it all the time and since I was Booker I already wrote in to myself and notes on the margin of the pages so after a year or two I got married and it was and in the Coyle we one of the story we learned regularly was the harmony we learned that the intricate laws that we learned regularly was their Harmony um I I had a new comments that I think about them in the coil and I think I think to myself maybe it's worse to Central crime a letter who knows maybe respond to me who knows Mr McDonald because of crying with all his greatness and age you know answer to one unknown person named figure but still I send the letter Hashem a client respond to me a letter and he wrote on the on the top of the postcard something like I really enjoy your comments and I hope you will continue to write to me wow mommy is in shock wow the main trip kind that I hear about him for years wrote me a letter it was amazing for me and I decided to send him another letter so I sent the the second letter and both hashemi wrote me again and say again it was good the orange continue so the corresponding with between us were for four letters and after four letters I decided that I had to do who is I corresponding with because I never saw him face to face so I decided one day to go to his house in benebra I go over his house it was after my Rave I remember clearly that I waited in his house for half an hour because the rush of people arriving when I came to him first time was it was my turn so if I'm asked me what's your name and I said Tigger so he then asked me which ticket from the letters and I said yeah so direct me to sit down this was the first word that he told me sit down and he started to conversing with me with me in in learning it was managed amazing you know from that from zero to he didn't like people sitting near to him you won't ask a question and go away but don't sit here there is many people before you after you I can't everyone to sit with me and in our first meeting he told me to sit near to him it was Tigger when when what year was it what year was that first meeting when you when you went to go see him in person yeah as I said after my review how long what year how long I sit with him well how long ago how long ago it was something like 22 or 22 years long time ago so he was younger he was a stronger yeah yeah yeah he was he was 70 years old when I first met him wow so he sat down and talked in learning and a little kid from who went swimming on Shabbos from Tel Aviv now is sitting and talking to Abrahim and learning yeah he didn't know about my background but after years he already know about it I had the first safer my first safer was all of it is of a crime work to me on the Derek Ramona safer so when I wanted to print to print it uh I want to I want a client to give me a comment and at that time crime didn't give us comment at all to nobody the the world so I asked Kim I I told him all the safer is your choose I just asked I just asked the question you write all the two of us so you need to give me his comment but my name at that time was Owen I born as a owen notice URI my parents I'm not the blame so I started to told him about my background and since then you know about my background so he wants me to change the name to Aaron but I told him that Aaron is my sure I can't because Aaron so he's told me URI you since today became to be a URI and that's it did he do a career shame did he give a new name yeah I went to the shoe yeah I'm going to the shul day after in the uh yeah and your mother was okay with that your mother was okay yeah sometimes you know she forgot and still called me Oren but usually it's it's okay she's okay with me you know I'm sure I'm sure people close to you knew your story but as you became um you know you you kept learning and you kept growing did you share that part of your life with people in an effort to say listen I was there and look where I am today and I I grew and you can too or do you try to hide it and say you know what that was a past and it's different it depends it depends who is who I'm talking if there's person it's not matter to him what I was so there isn't any reason to say it to him but there is many people that I see that they have their own problems in the Yeshiva or they struggle with themselves so I share my story yeah I have also many problems when I was young I I succeed to do some good things in the in the world it's an amazing story it's an amazing story can't stop smiling yeah we didn't finish the story though there is people don't believe that I'm with a secular person yeah they can't believe this how many swarm have you printed off Tigger until today Hashem six for him and there is two that I'm almost finished two more working on them so you sat and you're talking with him and then what happened you start you kept going back to see him what happened so Bo Hashem I came to him every time with few Corrections on his Forum so it became in little and stronger every time the first time I came with 10 Corrections on his Forum afterwards 20 Corrections what kind of Corrections spelling Corrections gearsa Corrections both of them both of them both of them everything and Mario became is the not true and there is theories on this foreign between let's say the Harmony song all the kinds of we always Corrections all the types and there was a time that it was too much always and it took too much time to apply him to sit with me in the Kabbalah school so he gave me a special time not in the time of the kabulous call they told me to come to him every afternoon after he was resting at the at noon so he told me to come to him and we go upstairs at the third floor and we study together over there in the First Years by the way a plant didn't trust me so much every correction that I show him you don't trust me he opened the game already whatever and look for himself that I was really right just after a few years when he understanded most of my corrections are right he started to trust me much more and Hashem insert my corrections more readily wow wow it wasn't easy the the first years and then you became the official person to correct this yeah yeah yeah well Hashem became official that I was the proofreader of modern times foreign because when I want to print a new safer or or he wants to refrint a New Edition for his previous for him he asked me to go over the safer and find all the mistakes before the printing because he managed it was mamish important to him that is for him will be without any mistakes will be pure wow they spent for this uh he spent for this in the end so many hours so many hours with me and without me I show him first the corrections and there was another people show him that as the from all over the world would times for him they send him aores but you know one send him on pair me yes I do the job from the beginning to end all of this for him completely so it took it took him very much very many hours to go over all their ores all the tikonium all the corrections and it's he do it because it was very very important to him that is for him will be pure without any mistakes so so there was one funny story if you allowed me to yeah it's safer showing was printed in 10 editions and every addition in print and they discovered there is a few mistakes in the printing and few hours about it so we walked on the Gillian on the margin of the page and next Edition he print a tikonim in the end of the safer tikuni after the printed the second edition and there is a new tikoni printed the kunim for Third Edition like this there was 10 editions of showing a lot has three volumes and after 10 editions the prime decided that probably all the tikoni that's possible in this safer already found them and he decided to do a new printing of all the locals with all them with all the tikuni inside not in the end of the safer inside in new printing so all the years 15 years that I do in the proofreading of more on the child he always wanted to pay me and I never took one shekel and one dollar never imamish one to pay and never took something because I want a golden crime it was my privileges well my schools to sit with a crime I took a money for it I'm not such a crazy but he always wanted to give me because the crime didn't like that people do something free for for him but in this case of shonina Lopez it was like this he wanted to me to go over the new printing of the show in allocates with all the economy inside and he wanted me to do the the proofreading they're going four times he said because this Chinese he said local am I say it's it's supposed to be very very carefully right with their going because even if there was one sick one letter one something not in the right place it couldn't change the whole okay so you need to overeat four times very very carefully but I don't give you the safer if you don't take money about it and that's okay I asked him what's what's so urgent derived to give me money just this time he said because it's a local emergency the game always says if you go to a doctor and not pay him you don't give you the right medicine if you do it for free it's not serious it's not serious though okay I want to pay you do the wrong the work the better we work you can do so I told him not going to happen I have money from Europe going to take and Hashem are able to to take took this firm from the behind door I got it done anyway but but he did yeah yeah he did pay you in another way right when he would come to your shalayan yeah yeah yeah he was he the crime is tremendous occur asatory for me tremendous of course at all and they came to visit menu shalim two times in my house in Russia line at the point it was two times because known came to Russia live only three times a year in and in pasta he came to my house two times to visit me it was mamish amazing I was at the first biku I was something like I think even yeah 30 years old I was you know a prime 80 years old came to visit one guy in Russia line 30 years old it was after midnight it was Manish amazing wow so what was it you talked about what it was like to learn with reprim and to go over this Farm ever make small talk our image of is that the Saratoga was only learning relationship but there's a conversation yeah yeah well Hashem he took he took an interest in my personal life and he also tell me personal things about himself but the personal things that they have called me is about his life stories when he was learned in longe in his Yeshiva some stories from there and the many stories about the hazonish about his father that was the small talk of a crime stories about daily Israel for those that don't know revheim there are people that are tuning in from many many different walks of life how would you describe to people we're crying first was a human being he acts like but he was a human being and people need to understand it because he do all what he does normally the crime wasn't the person with stress who is nervous he's done so much every day but it was normally you can't see him angry you can't see him in a rush everything was normally he was normal person that's the basic after he was normal person he able to do all day long all his hoibes and the kabulous call and send the calls and writing letters every day to people he did so much in his time but everything was normally and I said I said it to people because it's very important the person wants to be that a crime he starts with nervous I learn every day 10 pages of a Gamora and I start to say and everything with nervous and pressure no the time wasn't like this it was the most common person in the world did you did you watch the interaction between the crime and the rabbitsun did you see the the way that they interacted together yeah yeah yeah what did you learn from their interactions they had very deep relationship between them first of all the time never ate without the rabbits and he was waiting for the rabbits in until she comes and it's not what it was the easy thing to do because the rabbits in after me and after married she came to with a group of women every time and it took time until she ended with all the women with all the women it took time from the door of the house until the table it's it could take one hour you know and they waited he didn't ate nothing until the rabbit was at the table it didn't touch the food you know I wonder most of us none of us can achieve the Prime's greatness in Torah the daily learning he did his memory it was a repository of Torah he was it was unbelievable but but maybe we could be more like him in middos in his character and and in his relationship with his wife and so on so what are some of the middle what did you witness when the cameras were off and nobody was watching what did you see the real crime in terms of his midos I tell you when I think I I bring a person who take the video that I published in the world all my videos so the person who took the videos told me that there is very big difference between the crime to the other upon him he took the videos from them because the other upon him there is two kinds of her body there is rabonim when the camera works and there is the same person with the camera off we said the crime is the only rap is the same with the camera on or the camera off he didn't mention the camera he the same person he was a great great subject you can't imagine how Sadiq this person was for example he go to bed I I talking about the early years not earliest the the last years when The Walking was very very hard for him he go once to the bed after lunch and suddenly remember that he didn't walk Dali damage the Gamora said that every person after the meal should go dalidamis it's not healthy not to go daily damage and go bad right after the meal so they remember that after the melee didn't go Dal damage but it wasn't true he got all the damage between the table lunch in his bed there was more than daily diamonds for sure even sure has a niche that Adam is but he didn't do it because they didn't get more he want to do the Delhi damage because the Gamora said but he forgot to do it because this reason so the The Walking was very hard to him at this door at those days and it came again from the bed and go dalidamis around the womb and come back to the bed you know no one saw it except me and another guy was there no one saw it no one knows about it he was doing this because he's he knows that's what the right thing to do there was plenty of things and plenty of examples like this that he does so much Sadiq things that no one even think about doing these things [Music] and he says people don't appreciate reprim's sense of humor he had a wonderful sense of humor so we picture a Rob who is just serious and serious but that he had a big smile and he could laugh and he had a sense of humor yes true that's true there are because it was so sadic first of all he made me all the time feel so comfortable with him you know I'm the little and the crime so big and I was sitting like him Mama afraid but he gave me all the time the feeling it's comfortable you can see it you can talk whatever you want few times I saw him he was not in a good shape he was uh sometimes he didn't feel good sometimes it was mamish fall asleep on the standard and I don't want to talking with him in that time he said no no no whatever you want speak I'm here for you just do what you want to do it was giving the good feeling because the mamish was study it's amazing and about the sense of humor yeah that's for sure it was telling stories and mommy she he knew how to tell the story at the funny way not in the serious way in each story he find the exactly the the right point it was funny he want the the person who hear it to enjoy the story he knew how to deliver the story in a funny way right right were there things that he shared with you that he hoped for that he looked at Claud Israel and things were just challenging and he just maybe expressed it things could change in some way no I'm with him in the private things in classroom things I never talk with him interesting many many many hundreds of times in in the Years people asked me to go to a prime and escape this and broadcast for all the problems you know kids and money issues health issues and I heard I hear very much things that he told ages for people in both Hashem there was so much missing so much Miracles that people who whoever listened to what he said there was smart people they think a prime settle it's not it's not fit for me he's 80. they didn't succeed but whoever listened to his age says Hashem resulting it's a big loss for Clyde Israel a year later now that you're at sight and uh you know coach board who gives every generation Our argue doluma will continue but it's a huge loss and uh recognized by everybody a huge loss for you personally a huge loss for all of us but figure when you look back on your life and and where you began to where you are you know second the kid from Tel Aviv to having been a close Confidant close with with him it's just it's hard to believe what's your message to other people maybe who were a lost you know there are kids 15 to 18 years old you say those three years maybe parents we should be more patient with our children while they're finding themselves and not rush or put pressure on them that they have to be the god of adored 15 years old maybe when you're a teenager you're still finding yourself and you're figuring it out and you could end up with your own with your own greatness in your life what would your message be my message is never give up even if the worst times that every person through and especially in the young ages you know here in Israel we call it in the young ages so every boy is had a difficult life in those ages because you don't know what you want to do you want you don't know even what you're capable to do and not give up after you find your place you need to go it in full power because you never know what's going to be for a few years after and Hashem I think every person need to be strong not to listen to the street not to listen to not go after the money not after all the how the our streets look today but when you're so happy be strong in the Judaism and as as you hear as you have much more challenges you have much more Seattle after if you work on yourself and stand strong with the many challenges you have as well who gave you much more after and that's the secret to success thank you for your time amazing story thank you for your forum and your contributions to Claudius row should continue and we really appreciate you joining us and we should have nakama during on this first year and we should all continue to follow as best we can in the Prime's ways oh man thank you for having me Rabbi Brody what'd you think Robert foreign a minute a second later I was like I don't know if that's possible I love how he's so humble he says he says listen I just got just real honesty it's full disclosure I just did it with rash I did the Texas so it wasn't a big deal or clearly how brilliant the gifts he's been given by God but his cheerfulness he's got a great demeanor disposition smile because I was thinking while he was talking that if someone else said these same things they would come across as boastful or arrogant but you see that the demeanor they don't feel that he's sweet he's genuine his smile I met him this past weekend project Inspire which is the practice of Isha Torah 1100 people for the weekend who are inspiring themselves to inspire others to get out there
