them coming because you give the sheer each week I just have the privilege of sitting up here and reading them to you but I want to share with you an Insight all month we have been saying Hashem is my light and my salvation and so on and uh Hashem Hashem just stay true stay stubborn cling to him is a line draw that straight line to Hashem never give up don't let let that line become perforated don't let that line become broken don't let that line get severed that straight line to Hashem so in this Capital we have the words the words no matter what happens no matter what I have to confront no matter what comes at me on any given day and for all of us and each of us those confrontation that tension those challenges could be different could be God forbid a marriage on the Rocks it's frustrating and stumbling and difficult and painful could be children who are disappointing children who are struggling children who are in crisis could be a person is going to doctor appointments and lab results and waiting for a biopsy to return all of us are battling and struggling different things could be our Instinct and rigor our Temptation and our desire is leading us to look at and watch or say or listen to the wrong things we're facing we're facing this we're facing a camp against us we're facing we're facing a battle that most likely people know nothing about how do we persevere how do we Triumph how to overcome how do we make it to the end of each day says you think you're the only one you know we think about David I'm Allah we think oh he's a king he had many wives and palaces and wealth this summer we toured in IR David we saw the incredible newer excavations here David where for a very long time they thought about lived in what we call the old city of yusheline the old city of yerushalayim is relatively new David and milk lived down the hill he lived all the way in what we call what is IR David if you haven't toured and you haven't seen it you must and their new excavations you'll be able to take what they call the pilgrims Road the Ole Regal went all the way from the enormous Mikvah on the bottom of the mountain and you can climb on the way up today there are parts that we saw that aren't yet open to the public a little Flex fine but that you can actually touch the wall and there's the black ash you can feel the ash from the burnt base 2 000 years ago Ash on your fingertips we went to the end of where they're where they're digging they haven't yet dug and if you just I won't say who she might be in this room right now got distracted wasn't listening to the guy she was playing with the dirt because every little amount of dirt that you scraped away more Pottery more coins more like right at your fingertips things that they dropped and they left when they were on the run that Pilgrim Road with a sewer underneath unbelievable what's there enough so we think I think palaces and wealth and Leadership and royalty and monarchy literally wanted to kill him literally tried to lead a rebellion and kill him's wife humiliated him went through a very difficult difficult tough life and how did he get through it how did he persevere when he was facing those daily battles and struggles people slandering him people judging unfavorably people falsely accusing literally running and fleeing for his life what did he rely on he tells us we're saying it now every day twice a day this is in this I Rely in this I trust what's the zos this is very mysterious this is very ambiguous what is this Bezos when I face my daily struggles and battles when I'm ready to give up I lean in and I trust and I Rely my anchor is those what's those so there are at least a million and one div Ray Torah on what zosus it's uh zosus and we shared recently and then yesterday the parasha classes says with all the variables and all the world that's changing and all that's unpredictable and there's a new storm that's forming in the Caribbean and it's coming and there's a new and what's going to be with the economy and the financial markets and what's going to be in Ukraine what's going to be for Israel what's going to be with the Coronas popping his ugly head again and what's going to be the world is filled with variables the world is filled with the enemies we have to confront and fight the zos what is the constant in the world of change in variables bezosatora is the zosa of Torah lean in learn Center yourself anchor yourself with Torah Torah learning Torah living that is our constant in a world of variables that's what we shared yesterday but today is a new day so we share a new insight and it's from the ibaneza the Ebenezer says you know what the Bezos keep reading what's the very next possuk when I face these camps when my enemies gather upon me when I'm battling the doctor's office and I'm battling in the pantry in the refrigerator and I'm battling the waistline and I'm battling this Lander in the gossip and the false accusations and the posters and the haters and the and the mob online when I'm battling this is you know what the Bezos is what's the very next pus look you know what I can rely on that all I want to do is sit in the house of Hashem all the days of my life that's it with all the people who fail me and all the people who backstabbed me and all the people who may say nice things to my face but behind my back have whatever to say my really one request is Hashem you are reliable you are Dependable you are always there your arms are always open you are my father you love me unconditionally you may hold me accountable but you love me also application this is all I want I just want to sit in the house all the days of my life while I'm saying these words he's got a great song I just want to see and basket and there's so many different as possible I want to get back into the amuna shear but Allah says all the distractions all the Temptations all the failures all the indulgences all the giving into my intuition and instincts when I shouldn't have all the following the animal impulse but I'm better than that what can I rely on what can I come back to me Hashem that's what I can always consistently come back to me I want one thing and then he lists like 10. where did he learn that from so the major chantalum says you know he learned that from Hashem Hashem says what does Hashem want from you and then he lists like 10 things but really they're one thing that he lists and what's the one thing that he wants Hashem and here there's a contradiction I want to dwell in the house of Hashem Shifty I just want to sit in the basement I want to sit in the shoe I want to sit in the base Hashem and I want to be a visitor I want to be a tourist and we all know the famous Arturo which is it want to be a resident or a tourist you want to permanently reside or you want to be passing through which is it saying both you know often I just had nieces and nephews who came with their families from Israel they visited for a week what they did in that week and when they saw I lived here for 20 something years and I never went to because when you live locally take for granted you don't go you don't visit you don't take advantage of when you're a tourist and you come through oh you sit you have your itinerary and your agenda and it's planned out depending who you're with and how ruthless they are to you on this so-called vacation you wake up early in the morning till late at night boom boom boom boom boom so David says I want to live there but I want the mentality and attitude of a tourist I want to live permanently in the house of Hashem but I never want to settle in I never wanted to become casual or too comfortable I want to bring the energy and the enthusiasm I want to bring the excitement like I'm just like hello I'm just passing through but I really want to share with you this you know what he says I wanted to sit in the house of Hashem all day doesn't have responsibilities as a king as a monarch doesn't he have to wage Wars doesn't he have to negotiate diplomacy doesn't he have to collect taxes doesn't he have to meet with his cabinet that was in my mouth doesn't have to take care of his wives and his children and his family doesn't he have poetry to author has a million and one things to do so how could he possibly there's just one thing I want just want to sit in the basement I just want to sit and shoot all day I just want to be in base Hashem I want to be in the basement how could he yes that's unreasonable it's unrealistic it's unfair it's not who he is what he's meant to do how could he ask that says the son of marabi you know what David was asking and what each and every one of us are asking every day morning and evening Hashem doesn't mean I want to sit in the show I want to sit in the basement I want to sit in the basement it means wherever I am and whatever I'm doing I want to feel sashem Hashem you're with me at Costco you're with me at the gym you're with me at work you're with me at shul you're with me in my dining room in my living room you're with me wherever I am wherever I am becomes transformed to a base Hashem there isn't my religious life in my second life that's not my life with God and my life on my own there's not my life where I'm plugged in in my life where I'm disconnected wherever I am wherever I go whatever I'm doing I feel your presence I feel your love I feel your support I feel your Embrace I feel your vision for me for this world I feel my mission wherever whenever I'm shifting all the time all day long places to go things to do you gotta earn a lively you got to pay the bills you gotta drive carpool you gotta make dinner how could you say hello you can't have it all day long said you know what it means wherever and whatever you're doing you're diving the whole way I dive in the light should be green I should make it to carpool on time I should arrive safely in my drive I dab in the cup of coffee shouldn't be spiked shouldn't make me sick it should wake me up it should be delicious it should be everything I want I would have and I walk into this boardroom I negotiate a successful business outcome that's a win-win for me and my partner I dive in this operation be successful whether I'm the surgeon or asleep on the table I dive in the technology works I could stream this year if there are people who are meant to hear it a little Fila every day in everything that you're doing with everything that we do all day long I am I've transformed it into a base Hashem I go to a restaurant I'm eating dinner and make a bracha before after the topics of conversation are enriching uplifting I'm regulating myself to not speak things I shouldn't be talking about every place can be turned into a base Hashem that's what I want I just want to live with the Muna I want to live with to be talking to you that wherever I am it's a base Hashem I just want to dive in halifay I'm diving to you all day long whatever I'm doing I'm dominating to you all day long that's the ebenezero's understanding of this so when the world around me is so uncertain when I have no idea what's coming next when I have no idea what the next year will bring when I'm battling and fighting is you know what I can rely on that Hashem if everywhere I turn it into a base Hashem if I'm diving and talking to you and hearing you talking to me all day long the zos in that I have bittaj I can trust in my bitachen that I will get me through and with that let's read a couple emails and then get back into our text hello Rabbi Goldberg hello back I know everybody probably begins their emails to be like this but I want to thank you blah blah blah blah blah I never really thought I would have a great story but I have to say this one it's pretty good last week on Tuesday night Wednesday was my birthday I said to myself Tuesday night I was going to start this New Year of my life differently usually I'm rushing with the kids and everyone's late in the morning is hectic and I only get my domini later in the morning I planned out on Tuesday night that I would wake up significantly earlier which would allow me to dive and say extra to him which is customary on her birthday she doesn't say it but she must be Lubavitch make us a nutritional breakfast and lunch for my kids send them out with a special bracha and be on time to drop them off so she's like every one of us that every night say tomorrow will be different tomorrow will be my ideal day I'll have done a thousand push-ups and sit-ups and squats before anyone wakes up oh let's finish shots I'll have cranked out all the work and paid all the bills before people's alarm even goes off well despite the fact that I woke up much earlier than usual nothing in capital letters went as planned I did not get to Daven their breakfast and lunch was not ready on time one of the kids forgot their backpack at home she calls me to go back and worst of I sent it to school frustrated and upset and now with the Brock I originally planned sound familiar feel familiar as I drop them off I put on your amunisher which was the first one since you returned from the well-deserved vacation not in capital but should be well deserved vacation as I'm listening as I'm listening you go into the interpretation you heard for Shifty Hashem how Hashem can feel like he is naked or against you or your plans when things aren't going your way what we spoke about last week I had my emuna glasses on I was like Wow Hashem is really talking to me I needed to hear that my birthday of all days was not going the way I wanted in any way I just wanted to give Hashem by dominating earlier and yet Hashem at other plans negdi Summit he felt like he was opposite me I immediately smiled and let the guilt melt off me so then I get home and instead of a 5 a.m I dive in that 11AM but fine I dive on I try my best to make it meaningful I ask Hashem to help you give me to help me give him after that I wanted to say extra tell him which is customary on birthday since I don't usually say my children's back I decided to actually tell him I would say would be one for each of my children I began with my eldest child his parent is 16. as I'm reading I almost lost my breath when I read in his parrot that I randomly chose Shifty Hashem I have placed Hashem before me constantly because he's at my right hand I will not falter it was Unreal like Hashem was speaking directly to me saying it was all okay and meant to be practice was the best birthday gift I could have asked for knowing that Hashem is with me thank you again warm regards from such in such a place we'd love to host you if you're ever here okay anyway so uh so many of these emails include I was going through X Y or Z I randomly found you on Spotify and pressed play and randomly it was a particular share and you randomly said some reference to something again I take no credit nothing it's all your emails and it's all the total of others that we are learning and it's all what Hashem chooses to put in my mouth that day but none of it's random absolutely none of it's random it's extraordinary how Hashem is orchestrating and carefully curious choreographing the world it's unbelievable it is unbelievable beautiful in fact this past week I met with a child parents about Bar Mitzvah coming up and the young man has diabetes and it happens to be the meeting I had right after him was with a person who grew up in this community who's now a father of a Zone who has diabetes and I don't know how those two meetings were planned back to back but the bar mitzvah meeting ended and the next person came in and I introduced them and I realized hey you know young man I remember him growing up he would go into my office with his little kid onion Kipper have to test himself and the two exchanged and gave each other and the the now adults said to the young man if you have any questions if you have any kids again you should know having diabetes is the best thing that ever happened it made me disciplined it made me mature it made me take responsibility and turned me into who I am while I didn't want it I'm grateful for what it did and I looked and I said Hashem how did you plan these meetings back to back and that they overlapped and that they met each other and like it's unbelievable it's unbelievable so Shifty Hashem it's sometimes Hashem feels like he's in our Corner he's our azer sometimes he feels connect though sometimes he feels he's negdy he's opposite me nothing went according to plan nothing went the way we drew it up nothing went the way we wanted but Hashem is still with us this you can rely on all the time is those whatever we're going through whatever we're struggling with whatever we're battling whatever we need to overcome is those Hashem that we transform every place we're into a base Hashem now we're talking to him all day long and we're hearing him talk to us all day long and here one more email then we'll get back to them Rabbi Goldberg blah blah blah I want to share a recent story experience I drove my son and a few friends from Baltimore for a four day overnight basketball camp in Pennsylvania the camp was four hours away I had every intention of staying overnight to avoid additional driving I packed my bag once I got the boys settled I was second guessing my decision to stay just felt like I wanted to be home instead despite the additional eight hours of driving two days later I was working for my grandmother's backyard while my kids and their cousins swim while working I caught a few whiffs of gasoline although it wasn't constant I mentioned it to my mother who was also there shortly after she faintly smelled it as well and decided to call the gas and electric company just to be safe turns out there was a gas leak which could have potentially gone undetected had I not decided to come back from Baltimore for those few days I also got to share the story with the boys when I picked them up and impart the life lessons of practice again if you live life with your own glasses you look around you and you don't say oh what a coincidence and it's a good thing I came home and you realize where'd the thought come from where did the absolutely insane illogical irrational thought come from I'll drive eight extra hours why not everything is from above everything is from Hashem it doesn't always have a happy ending those are the most impressive inspiring immuno stories when it does we should see it coming from Hashem and be overwhelmed with gratitude less obviously spoke about it sure I won't repeat it because so many of you were there but that the gratitude has to be expressed at the same decimal level the same passion with the same enthusiasm the thank you and the I need you I told the story of nothing who after his daughter had a successful emergency surgery from complications in childbirth the family was looking for him and couldn't find him he was still saying to him and they said what's the matter didn't you hear surgery was successful we can go visit her and he said you tell me what's the matter with you don't we have to thank Hashem with the same careful passion crying out with the same enthusiasm with which we said I need you the I thank you and the I need you that's why the farmer bringing bikurim goes all the way back to arami over the Hashem I don't know what tomorrow will bring the kurum is the first fruit I have no idea what's coming after I have no idea what's coming later it's Rosh Hashanah no idea what this year will bring when we look back on this past year every year we look back on the year before and we realize the Rosh Hashanah before we had no idea what that year was going to bring and with that uncertainty and that doubt and the anxiousness that comes from it we pause just to say I don't know what is tomorrow but for today I say thank you today I say thank you and to put on our ramuna glasses and to see and to realize what we have to say thank you for and to be overwhelmed with gratitude gratitude okay let's start we're living learning foreign the core of our mission our purpose of what we're working on I don't think we did this last week right we didn't get to this last week is to ask ourselves before whom are you working who do you work for who do you toil for sure what do you do somebody wakes up in the middle of the night and says what do you do the answer is not I'm an account I'm a lawyer I'm a doctor I'm a homemaker I'm a mother I'm a plumber I'm an electrician I'm a rabbi the answer is what do I do who do I work for oh I work for Hashem I report to Hashem before whom do I toil and work freshmen in order for that to be a core value and a core consciousness and a core part of our identity it's not just oh when I dive in oh when I open the tehilum oh when I go to the I'm gonna shoot I remember there's a Hashem and he's connected to me and my life is to be of service for him but it's 24 7. when I wake up till I fall asleep it's my whole life my whole life what's my mission at every stage of my life when I'm single and for those who want and are married when I'm married and when I'm a parent I want to raise children who are of the Hashem who serve Hashem who stand for his values who are repairing and Redeeming the World In His Image that's my whole life that's everything I'm doing that's what it's all about that's why I personally have the best job on the planet but every job is that in every job you're in you could be helping people and elevating the world you could be you know tonight I'm behind the beam or interviewing David fischoff David fishoff is a music producer and a sports agent Shoma Shabbos from learns Torah and he put the monkeys back together representing Ringo Starr and Phil Simms and the Giants and the list of we represented and just we'll mention incidentally and all the stories that I'll tell which are incredible which are incredible but you know what his real mission is you have to listen tonight to behind the bema you may not recognize Rabbi Brody on this episode but you have to listen to behind the Beamer give me a little warning Mrs Brody fair warning but Dave official will tell you notice main mission was with every artist he interacted with and represented and tried to get to Israel that he's serving Hashem that they'll all love Israel and love the Jewish people and fight anti-Semitism to experience shamas is a great story again I don't want to spoil tonight when he represented a certain uh major sports player and the team was negotiating with him and he said the deadline for the negotiations was Saturday night but he said I can't talk Saturday I won't pick up the phone and all day the phone rings and the children think there's an emergency someone's trying to get a hold of us we have to answer he said relax don't worry I know what it is just let it ring and by the time he checks his message says mostly Shabbos should I spoil the story the team said the the a the team owner on the other side negotiating says fine I'll give you the price you wanted I can't take it anymore and keeping Shabbos got the better contract it was uncompromising I'm giving as an example we didn't time the guests this week I'm buying the bema with name but the timing like everything from above is perfectly choreographed listen to the interview tonight and you'll hear David Fisher talk about yes all these famous people that doesn't impress him ultimately it's how he can serve Hashem how can he expose these people to the Shabbos meals and to the beauty of Torah and give a gift of Shan sintama to Ringo Star tell these stories how can he get them to go to Israel and perform how could he get them to fight anti-Semitism so whatever job you're in it doesn't matter what you're doing what's the real job that's how you earn your living and there's living how we earn our living is not the same as living our vocation and avocation are not one of the same is it a job or is it a calling lift name every day every hour where are we here what are we here to do Allah to live with a Consciousness and a mindfulness to live with an awareness all the time there is there is a creator he's in my life he's talking to me he has a mission for me that he created me to be a unique expression of him and there's no one else in this world who can do what I do the world is waiting for me to volunteer to lead to help to care to work whatever I'm doing professionally whoever I'm doing voluntarily whatever I'm doing in my capacity in my family or as a neighbor or friend but to always live with the makshavap Shota the very simple awareness yes that there is a creator that there is a creator person who's going through a medical crisis to remember I have to take the initiative to find the best doctor the best facility best surgeon the best the best the best the best the best but you can't pursue the best in such a way that you forget yes instead of Snippets the surgeon is the medicine is the graciousness of Hashem that he allows us to discover these secrets to the universe that can cure but the only one who can not only treat the symptoms but who can reverse and provide a complete cure it's Hashem we'll talk about instead of Snippets we're up to this he wrote some to say every time you go to the doctor every time you take a medicine most people don't know about it they don't say the mishnuburu quotes it it's a millisecond yahirota takes no time at all but all it does is remind you that I'm not thinking when I take this medicine Pfizer or sanofi or Procter and Gamble or regeneron Pharmaceuticals thank them also I'm thanking them for the discovery but thank you Hashem the eurotson you go to the doctor I don't know if before with the co-pay after the appointment the waiting room you have plenty of time to say the Iraq Zone as a famous Jewish Comedian says it's called the waiting room for a reason you go from the big waiting room to the little waiting room to the littler waiting room but you have plenty of time to say this is the doctor endless boundless gratitude thank the doctor get a gift for the doctor appreciate the doctor definitely appreciate the doctor but also remember the doctors the schlaf is an agent the doctor is simply the extension of Hashem is the Hashem wherever whatever we're doing it remember this is a Creator that's the simplest thought to have in the world and it's the hardest thought to keep it's the simplest thought and the hardest thought to hold on to last question and when you live with that always when he's opposite you always when you want to make sure that the Rosh Hashanah round challah is going to come out good even though you haven't made them in a year and therefore you say Hashem my kitchen just became a base Hashem and I'm davening all day long because I'm davening that the roast and the khala and that everything that I'm putting together for Russia comes out good when I'm sitting at the computer and I'm trying to cook up some good rushes and a Shabbos Russia and then when it's done circus is just getting started so you think you got a lot to cook I got a lot to cook there's a lot of recipes Brewing it's not a simple recipe to follow it's it's tough we all got a lot everyone's got a lot of cooking to do everyone's cooking up a lot so you could turn everywhere you turn your office you turn your kitchen into a base Hashem in his palacola come out let it flow give me great sources ideas and stories Hashem let my kids be all set Hashem let me afford new shoes for my children for yantiff Hashem table be filled with people who are healthy and well it's a marksheva shooter it's a simple it's a simple thought there's a Hashem there's Hashem everything you're dominating all day long I saw a video that came out yesterday ravender rosh Hashem of Darke one of my heroes a lover of Bender he sent a video out to the parents of his school but it got out much more broadly who talked about the New York they just started school I think we're halfway through the year in Florida but in New York they just started school so he sent out a video imploring parents on the first day of school to dive into Hashem for their children everyone's running around school supplies and new backpacks and did you sign up for the lunch program and where's the bus stop or did you drive the carpool there's a million and one things to worry about and bother the school that you're not happy with the class assignment the friends and why are they always in that class and the friends are on the other night there's a million things a million and one things to do to intervene to advocate for your child on the first day of school don't forget the dolphin I need the lineage it's a beautiful short video of all the things you could doubt let my child not be bullied let them be able to focus let them succeed academically let them grow spiritually let nobody harm them let them not have any danger during recess let them not get hurt during there's a million to one things that happen for your children so the first day of school carpool became a base Hashem your child you dropped them off they run out of the car and if you don't get chased off the carpool line pause for one moment and offer at Fila for their day in school it's not only true on the first day of school why can't it be true for every day of school and when they get off the bus and they come home and both their feet are working but their legs are working but their arms are working one of our daughters when she was young was climbing a ladder at school share what they call a tib fib I don't want to gross you out but her leg got caught and she kept going up the ladder and her leg broke to a 90 degree angle tib fib both 90 degree angle school was amazing and helpful we got our ambulance Road DiMaggio rods were put in her leg and she's better than ever she had races with her grandmother both of them had their Walker to get around the house Greg grass sorry her great grandmother sorry Grandma her great grandmother she had races it was adorable so every child every day that your child comes off the bus or out of carpool and both their legs are fine and not in Cass thank you Hashem they weren't bullied thank you Hashem they weren't harmed thank you they weren't kicked out they weren't in the principal's office thank you Hashem thank you Hashem every day thank you Hashem there are things to ask for and things to be thankful for all day I don't know how you could get anything done if we really live this way foreign cup so you start your day with your cup of coffee with cavanaghata thank you when you've got the sticker on your steering wheel and you've also got it on your mirror and you've got it on your cup and you're just anode Movado on your wall and you're just all day long flashing messages don't forget simple thought this is don't forget don't forget it's the simplest thought and the hardest thought to hold there's a borealum don't forget there's a borealum and keep flashing it should be your home screen it should be your alarm it should be don't forget there's a borealum the tragic loss of a young woman who died in a car accident Tish above there was a video her parents were included in it about loss the mother talked about when they looked at her phone later they found she had a daily alarm set to do something good that would bring mashiach a daily alarm a young lady teenage girl what are our daily alarms the simplest things are the hardest things to remember there are whole apps there are whole alarm systems to remind you to breathe how pathetic are we how pathetic is our generation that we need an alarmed could you imagine meeting your great grandparents and saying I have this alarm it goes off every hour oh yeah what does it remind you to do call someone important do something it reminds me to breathe you forgot yeah we're so busy we're running so fast we're doing so much that we need to be reminded to breathe so you know what else is the oxygen that we breathe that there's a boreolum that is the oxygen that we breathe you're not alive we learned last week he said the measure of a person the whole purpose of life it can all be reduced and Consolidated to that one thing so just like these alarms that remind you breathe get up right there's alarms for that also Imagine telling your great grandparents who are busy milking the cows and running to the farm and taking care of the thing and having to go to the river to wash their clothing and having to go to and you say oh yeah I also have an alarm it reminds me I can't just sit still all day those are our alarms you want to know something about 2023 our alarms are don't forget to breathe and don't forget to get off the couch and don't forget to stop eating those are our alarms today did I tell you everything about our generation don't forget to breathe don't forget to get up don't forget to stop eating so what should the alarm be that we have somebody needs to make this app or this alarm boom every hour there's a boreola anode Movado every every hour every hour imadi we can mix it up so every hour it'll be a different three word and then maybe we've got a shot then maybe I thought means little by little yeah it'll enter our heart maybe then it'll seep into our heart um we're trying to get it from a knowledge of the head to a knowledge of the heart a knowledge of the head means I wake you in the middle of the night you know it you went to a seminar you heard the Bible codes you saw the evidence for God's existence it means academically intellectually conceptually you know that there's a God it means that pure research called you said we're doing a survey how many Americans believe in God do you believe in God check that's the knowledge of the head but do you know it in your heart when the rubber meets the road when you get bad news are hard news when things are frustrating you're not going your way when you're tempted to react with Envy with anger with arrogance is it a knowledge of the heart do we put our immune glasses say Hashem it feels like you're lenectady you're opposite me you're pushing back at me but it's you and therefore Bezos you're what I lean in is it a knowledge of the heart does it come down and filter down from the head to the heart you want to be alive I told you last week I don't want to keep harping on it remember he's a a short petite older man who has more energy than I've ever seen in a short little meeting he's bouncing off the walls and I'll tell you all he listed to us all of his health conditions all the things that are wrong with him all the medicines he needs to take and you never saw such energy and positivity and smile and happiness because this knowledge of the heart gives you life it is the source of life it's life it's the meaning of life the purpose of life it's what we work for in life is don't forget to breathe and what's the breathing that we do don't forget taking deep breaths but the breathing that we do is to breathe in emuna don't forget to breathe in nashama nishima don't forget she Metallica breathe in that there's God tomorrow night 8 30 on the beach I hope everyone will join like we do every year we're going to sit and learn something then we're going to spread out in the beach and everybody's gonna have a conversation with god we're going to talk about what that looks like and what to follow the formula and then we're going to try to experience it and some after seven seconds you'll be like that was awkward that was weird I'm out of here and some after seven minutes you'll feel I'm good and some 70 minutes later someone's gonna have to tap you on the shoulder and say sorry but we gotta go but it's part of this because that's the idea of the heart that there's a boreolum a disability I'm in conversation with him all day ideas begins with taking some deep breaths centering ourselves anyone who's done yoga anyone has done that exercise breathing is an enormous part of it not just because biologically or anatomically the breathing into the organs is healthy for the organs drawing the oxygen is good for them but breathing for the mind and breathing for the soul is critical to Center ourselves you're tired you're warned you're spent you're battling you're ready to give up you know where you get your energy
