Rabbi Paysach Krohn - Curb The Hate

[Music] it evening everyone and thank you for coming tonight it's a today's event I know it's cold outside as many other stuff going on but you made it your business to be able to hear tonight you know the Jewish community in around the world has been an uprising after Semitism recently in Jersey City in Rockland County individuals was almost killed he's in critical condition and he must get up as a Jewish nation to show that we are not going to accept that the Semitism not only the Jewish nation anywhere in the world we must stand up for it you know we went through the Holocaust and when I can go through that it gots a bit again so tonight we all gathered tonight over here to hear words of inspiration for every Pesach Roma will give us inspiration how we can move on I guess despite all and the something that's going on we have over your elected officials council member Bruce brakeman Assemblywoman Missy Miller that shame in the Republican Party mr. Cairo from Nassau County and of course all other people are here tonight and I'm gonna introduce I guess councilmember Blake won't say a few words and then I'll be followed by mrs. Miller thank you again thank you very much Shia it is an honor to be with you tonight as we all know throughout the world there's been a rise in anti-semitism and it's something that we're not going to stand for here on Long Island we know that there has been attacks in Pittsburgh Jersey City Boro Park Manhattan and recently we had an altercation right here in the five towns at Costco where a man with a yarmulke with his family was shopping at Costco just about a month ago when this lunatic with all tattoos on and talking like a crazy person said he was going to slap the yarmulke off of this guy's head started talking about how Hitler should have finished the job and basically was harassing and threatening this man this was a man of great courage his name was a roommate Friedman and he's from Cedarhurst and he stood up to it would mer okay and he videotaped the whole thing so the police had evidence and we met with the police commissioner Pat Ryder who does a great job here in Nassau County and they apprehended the man they arrested him and now he will go before a judge so there is no room for anti-semitism here as I said we're not going to go quietly we're not going to just take it we're going to fight so it never happens again because tomorrow is the anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps so we should always remember we should never forgive and we should never forget with that I want to mention that we're traveling tonight with the chairman of the Republican Party in Nassau County who's incredibly supportive this community Joe Cairo if you could give him a nice hand chairman Tyler thank you for coming and at this time I would like you to goose to you someone who is a fabulous legislator she's dynamic she takes charge on a variety of issues but she's very very very very in tune to health care issues that are very important especially to you who are residents here in a health care facility let's have a warm welcome for Assemblywoman Melissa Missy Miller thank you I'm so happy to see so many faces here this evening this is such a you know significant subject it's we cannot tolerate this kind of hate and this recent uptick of these crimes and these attacks we just can't stand for it in a state we are trying very very hard actively to get more funding for security for education i've myself introduced a bill that would put hate crimes back on the qualifying list of offenses that would require bail so that we stamp out this hate this is a community our community is so diverse yet we all coexist so wonderfully we don't have room for this here and we're not going to tolerate it so I really appreciate this this meeting tonight I think it's very very informative and very important and I'm glad that everybody's here to see it thank

of the nursing-home a rapid Lucy please introduce our guys speak of it tonight that's giving round the bar before I introduce rabbi Crone I need to express my gratitude to the five talents premiere to mister lambda and the Shia to Joe Benton our administrator sadly the entire five towns premier is a beautiful family of people Jews and non-jews together and they opened their home for you smile show which is the name of our Shore so I expect gratitude to them and never say thank you enough so thank you very much for hosting our show and the hosting this wonderful event you're amazing thank you very much so about a week ago I got very very nervous and I didn't know what to do why was i nervous so I was hired to lead a group of young men and women / pesos and one of these beautiful retreats and I knew that my job is to give them an experience a spiritual experience that's very deep and very meaningful they don't have to prepare food they don't have to clean plenty of time to learn plenty of time to get spiritual I knew that was my job that's why I got nervous I looked in some of this forum that I used over the years and I saw certain themes that I wanted to speak about then I decided to go online so I went to one of my favorite sites called Robin and org and lo and behold there's a shear from her face a Crone five seven seven seven that you gave to rub on him on realtor.org and VA was right there like a silken aura like a table set up for me seven or eight beautiful votes on beautiful different things every single one of those votes could be a whole shear and there it was you made my pacer he made my pacer and to have him here in our soul in our home to lift us and to speak about something so important and so dramatic you need a person who's a hakama to be able to discuss this and therefore it's our cosmic mamas to have a man of that stature with us tonight to speak about a very vertical difficult and serious topic without further adue rather this is wrong [Applause] it's a very big school to have been invited by the offices of the premier I thank Xie xiè land out for first calling me I thank the people of Kazakh for putting this together and when I found out that rabbi Bluestein who's just a fireball of terror on your show my mother said is the rub of this shul you know that put it all together and I hope that we'll be able to get hopefully a total perspective on a very very sad and difficult topic but first I want to tell you that there's a lady him as a spankin and her mother's your tight is right now Fredo basura the mother of Peggy thinking everything that we do tonight should be his horse and your mother's neshama and hopefully that will accomplish a tremendous amount tonight this is a very sad topic for me personally when I was first beginning my speaking career it started basically in 1985 after the market speaks came out people felt if I could write a story maybe I could tell a story and I was invited in different places throughout New York and then throughout the United States and Houston and then in Cleveland Los Angeles and then I got to go overseas and I remember the first time that I was in Antwerp and Belgium and I was supposed to speak in a synagogue in a shul and somebody drove me to the show I could not believe it they were cement barriers right around the whole show and they were police outside the shul I had never seen that before certainly not in America and then a few weeks later I was in San Paolo Brazil and in San Paolo you would not believe you cannot walk into a shul the way we walked in here tonight do you know some Paulo Brazil when you walk into the door of a shul you're in a little cubicle door locks behind you and there's a door that's locked in front of you and the security guards have to check you out and make sure that you're not a terrorist and then you could walk into the shore and then I came to England and every school that I went to in England was behind the big gate and there were guards at every doorway and then this past week I just got back from South Africa and I've been there many many times I love the people in South Africa they're the most wonderful people with the greatest accent in the world but every house and every show was behind barbed wire or a huge fence and every time that I went to these places England San Paolo Antwerp and South Africa I felt broken in my country and our country there's no such thing we can go to every show there's no barbed wire there's no police who would ever believe that we might come to that in a country that I love so much now my mother was born in Philadelphia and you know the home of Benjamin Franklin the Liberty Bell Declaration of Independence and she taught me a great pride in America now I know you're not gonna believe this but nobody can deny it because I was there I went to tour with us and in the second grade mrs. Bromberg taught us America the Beautiful and if I'm in a foreign country and I hear the national anthem I stop crying now I told that to my wife she says well you cry for anything but it's not true it's not true I get very emotional when I hear the national anthem and I'm not gonna sing America the Beautiful but I could sing it believe me and mrs. Bromberg world all the words on the board and all the kids sang it you know we knew that so there was a great pride in our country and what I always felt was my country and then all of a sudden we begin to realize you know something maybe it's not exactly our country it's not exactly my country it's a country that we share with many many people and till now many of them have admired us and tolerated us but now all of a sudden we hear the terrible things that went on in Pittsburgh and then on Pesach in Poway and Jersey City and Muncie and what's going on how could this be happening what is going on how does an elephant respond to all of this now I'll tell you something very interesting you know I used to think that if joe lieberman who is such a wonderful wonderful person I had this horse to do his grandson and why you his grandson alone was in Nicolo and why you so this person was almost vice president could you imagine I'll tell you a great story you know he's from Bridgeport so I remember one morning I had a bris of rabbi Epstein shul and I was told that there's gonna be a special person nobody told me who's gonna be there but I've got to be on time there could be no mistake I've got to be there on time so of course you know I made sure to be there you know a half hour early before chakras and I come there and their secret service on the roof and the secret service around the whole building and I find out Joe Liebman who was running for president he was gonna be the sondik now we darlin you know and he's wearing his tallest is a hell of a person and we do the bris and after the bris I know you're not gonna believe this and Joe Lieberman loves when I tell the story he's a guy comes over to me he says you see that guy over there right behind him a pizza I said yeah he said you know he had a gun on you the whole time you were during the bris I said he had a gun on me he said you had this on Dex somebody who could be the future vice president of the United States and you had a knife three inches from his heart you never thought of it that way right lifted the bristles in his lap right and I had a knife and this guy had a gun just the case I mean did you believe that's America but okay listen I see the height I laugh at it that so does Joe and he made me tell it over and why you when I did the breast there before I did his grandson we had a few extra minutes we were waiting for somebody but the point is in a country where we almost had a Jewish vice president to wear thousand Trillin all of a sudden everybody is frightened now I'll tell you something very interesting you know ever since I got married I always I always wore my talus thank you I always wore my talus when I went to Sheol I ward outside my coat on outside my jacket I was so proud you know in America you could walk with Alice in the street and I remember one time somebody told me the caveat of coming Netsky said you shouldn't walk like that to shul on Chavez don't walk with your towers over your jacket because the think that you own America and they don't like that you know you have to be careful and I never thought of it that way but when they told me to back of cabinets he said that so now I don't wear my Tallis over my jacket on my coat I'll wear the Tallis over my jacket but the coat is over the talus because wearing garlis and we have to remember that and I'll tell you recently a very hush of a rover in Brooklyn rub moisture to believe was talking about anti-semitism and he said that you know Tom safer Park and I was amazed the Hossam safer postions that in Gullah snot nerd Israel you're not supposed to light the Chanukah candles outside you can write it by a window but you don't light it outside of your own goals you know my mother used to have an expression mr. finished I use the oigan right don't hurt the eyes of the you have to act in such a way that you know you're part of the country but you're a visitor really this is not our country we share the country with others and I think that that is one of the first things that we have to do you see the topic tonight that said on the flier stop the hate is very misleading because we will never be able to stop the hate the only thing that we could do is curb late curb they every one of us and I'm going to show you how you can do it we can kill the hate but the hate is inborn in the secular world now I'll give you an idea how all of us how all of us can begin to curb the eight if you always think of making a kid description I am I'll give you an example I just got back this morning from a cumference such a beautiful beautiful conference in Canada it's from the COR Organization Council of rabbis it's the conference organization and you wouldn't believe this Shabbos was must give him appreciation Shabbos you know when we go to a restaurant though we go for Shabbos in a hotel or in a young turf in a hotel masochism are working very hard they're the unsung heroes many times they're in the kitchen and we're in the dining room many times they can't even go to the minion because they gotta be up early making sure that everything is served on time and with the ultimate level of conscious so from a tree haber who has in-laws here in Lawrence Sam and Sarah Bergman it's a wonderful person he's the head one of the heads of this organization and they had this wonderful wonderful group of Moz give him and rub on him tummy to hop from him it was such an elevating Shabbos now let's watch what happens at the front desk and then you will see how a person can be Mikado sham sham ayam and make sure that a Gentile woman would never say anything negative about a Jewish person my wife told me this happened last night this fellow was checking out he was one of the most gave him and his thank you and his son was thinning next to him and he had like a little bag of bomba and the kid was not careful and he spilled it and it was on the floor so this much gift got down on the floor and he started cleaning it up and picking it up and the lady behind the desk said sir you don't have to do that I'll get housekeeping and you know what he said we spilled it so we have to clean it now not only is that a great lesson for the child that if you spilled it you got to clean it and his father got down and did it and my wife said she got down and helped them and the lady behind the counter the guruship woman was standing there and oh here's a man with a beard who she probably considers everybody with a beard a rabbi so what am i but whatever but to me but the point is right but the point is the rabbi is down on the floor knees cleaning up the bombuh so that's a good shot Shannon so the next time somebody might say something about a Jewish person that lady behind the counter she's gonna say let me tell you they're very nice people and I think that if we are always sensitive to others especially to go him in the street I'll give you a small example last week I was in South Africa I was there for the dish or seeing my shots and then I stayed a couple of days and I spoke many many times and I flew back now most of the time when you're on a flight and you have a kosher meal somehow they always give you the kosher meal first they have a few of them they ask if they have to open it and then they want to cook it up for you so you get your meal before the regular people get it and you know something I never open it until the guy sitting next to me gets his mail because do I need that he should think were there drew what he's so special he gets his mail first and he's gonna eat and pour me I haven't eaten in three hours right and that's sensitive and don't think they don't pick it up and that's what I mean by curbing hate many times when we drive you're wearing are you wearing a smooth they know you're a Jew and you blow the horn in extra time or you cur you cut them off then you represent all of Claudia Sorrell one of the first things that we have to learn especially now is that we have to be Mikasa shame shamayim now our prom says that in the Torah when it says Vinik - to be served Bonet you thrilled the Iker the main kiddush Hashem is among hidden in other words you have to act in a certain way so that another yet you say well that's how I would like to be that's how I would like to raise my children but in today's day and age it's I wouldn't say it's just as important but certainly almost as important to me Mikasa sham sham I am in front of don't do anything that they could criticize your honor pointing you got to put stuff in the overhead bin and you fill it up before the guy even gets there because you put everything that you have up there even your coat but they tell you not to put up you know they're bound to say look at that Jew he's insensitive well she's insensitive and all these things that's the first lesson tonight am I making a kid to shame shamayim am i walking the way I walk the way I dress the way I talk because we all interact with grahame every single day clerks in all the stores plane agents TSA people when was the last time you said thank you to a TSA agent I want to tell you what happened with me I was once good I thank you and I stand up for you that's right now listen to this I was on the way to Toronto a number of years in Air Canada and we're about to get on the plane or all of a sudden two officers in uniform come to our gate and everybody's wondering why are the two uniformed officers coming to the gate is there a terrorist that's about to get on board and they come over to me it's very embarrassing and the guy takes out a cell phone and he says to me uh excuse me is this your cell phone which reminds me I better shut it off okay okay so um I said no sir you know I've got mine in my pocket trying to shut this okay I've got mine in my pond I'll take a look it's not in my pocket it's not my pants pocket not my shirt pocket I'm a jacket pocket I look at it I can't believe he's got my phone I said Sarah how do you have my phone the man says to me I don't know where you're going but you had so many bins of stuff and you only took you know most of them but one you left your phone in there I said them to officer I can't thank you enough I got 700 numbers programmed in there if I were to lost that phone I'd have to get a new phone a program all those numbers all over again fine and I thanked him profusely and then as he was about to leave I don't know what possessed me to ask him this so it's in Air Canada LaGuardia I said to him officer you got to tell me this there are 2,000 people in this terminal how in the world did you find me I thought for sure he was gonna say you're the only one wearing a black hat that's what I thought he was gonna say that's not what he said he said do you remember what you said to me and my friend as you best buy security I said no what I say he said you looked at us and you said to both of us thank you gentlemen for being here I feel safer that you're here he said thousands of people go through security every day no one says thank you you said thank you we were gonna find you if you were the last guy in the terminal now don't take the server thank you would you like to have their job would you like to smell 5,000 pairs of socks a day right everybody take it off their shoes and you got to stand there right so they deserve a thanks now listen to this you won't believe it so everybody who I wherever I went I was telling this important point of saying thank you a couple months later a guy comes over to he says rabbi Cohen you're not gonna believe this I was in Kennedy effort and I remembered your story from Air Canada so when I went through security but Air Canada I said thank you to the officer so the guy said to me all your hood the rabbi tells a story right imagine that because a lot of people they realize that it's not so often that you say thank you but if a man with a yarmulke or somebody who looks Jewish you could see his citrus thank you so much you see a citrus and you see a woman wearing a shape tell a woman wearing a snood a woman that's dressed lucky either she woman is supposed to be dressed and they say thank you as I'm saying to Rabbi Bluestein so they that secure the shame shame I am that's how we're going to curb the hate the first lesson tonight is always try to make your kids of shame shame I am and if you're gonna blow the horn think twice who's in that car if you're gonna cut somebody or think twice who that person could be and I'll tell you something else that I think the way we as error you didn't have to respond you know there's a very very famous classic that we all know how croco Yakov if I get dying with a a sub right so let me tell you a little joke about that plus ik that has nothing to do with the speech but it's adorable I once heard that the blob of a Rebbe say that when the alarm clock goes off says somebody should get to the minion on time that's the coil called Yaakov but when he puts his hand on the snooze alarm so he can sleep 15 minutes that's your day every day a so I don't know if he said it but a bowl of a hustla told me he said it's fine but listen to this c'mon this is frightening exactly a murderous robber samithy embraces Rob Osama fake off Amana Baraka Bashar Chaka of Moroccan but Kyle are you when we don't hear the voice of Yaakov we don't hear the hiddens voice in a short one a base Madras or a very shaky Bush then your day a some lettuce there's never the same time Coco Yaakov anodyne with a ASA if Coco Yaakov is strong you're dying with the ace of his weak however uber social mid-south typically but when we'd of an apple out and how you dying with a ace of Charlotte then the work that hands of Asaph will not be strong so I want to tell all of you if you can because today you have the parish of the RAM bond in English go to the end of parshas boy and read the ramp on and peyrac your gimel + ik to zion and he gives foundations of hagatha and a Munna but out to our local alba shots bishop baton beats is Robin I'm gonna tell you why we do so many of the mitzvahs and you know what he says you know why we have jewels you said why did I shall make it that people should invent jewels he said that people should be able to come and there should be able to govern out loud and they should try themselves and say Briana we are your creations and you know what the ROM bran has an expression and tonight we're gonna make a Karbala from now on every single one of us because I believe this could combat anti-semitism Doron Braun says this is the confront of what caused all save a ye co loa kimba Hozuki that they call that they should call to hashem out loud it's a per second Jana and he writes me con at alarming sheds feel sorry for Coyle you got a Davin out loud let's be macabre from now on you'll necessarily not a lot of Davin out loud but let's everybody undertake once wheeler tonight from now on and I'm telling you I started it I would never ever ask anybody to do it something that I don't do myself when I saw this on bond I decided you know what the Rahman has an expression listen it's it's an Aramaic expression not cifra not South Lovisa boldness can overcome evil tonight everyone let's make a Kabbalah the one part of them we're gonna have an apple out from now on ASHRAE looking around and all let's do something that we do every day ASHRAE Elena will say it out loud and we'll say it's wrong and let's learn the meaning of the words that's what your diary day a so we don't want the entirety a self we don't want any Pittsburgh empower a Jersey City and Muncie and all the other places so that's what he said this this could combat it you have to cocoa rockledge so we won't have any time today a some how we gonna do the cocoa Yaakov you know how we're gonna do it laughing out loud now I want to tell you something with all due respect to the wonderful government officials that were here before we are not going to get rid of anti-semitism by having guns and sure we may have to have guns in Shore and we may have to have people in every show who have guns secretly and that they'll have to use them cos for Shalom if something happens but that's not gonna curb hate what's going to curb hate these two things one if we show respect to the that they shouldn't hate us that we treat them as human beings they are Shems creations you don't have to love them and marry them but you got to respect them the human beings you got to say thank you you got to drive like a mensch you got a dress like a mensch when you come among people whether they're Jews or not and the second thing is who we kidding this is a wake up call our Father has given us approach he's scaring us we're all scared let's face it we're all scared you know why we're scared because these things are contagious all of us remember when planes started being hijacked what happened one guy hijacks the plane the next week somebody else is hijacking a plane and then somebody else is doing what happened there all of a sudden because it becomes like a Fed and then after a while it stops and it's my hope that Shem that this will also stop but one thing is for sure Hashem has you know said to us come on guys you know you got to straighten out a little bit you don't want that you're dying every day so if you gotta have that cocoa yak of tonight every one of us has to make a Cibola for now we're gonna say Hashi oats out loud even if nobody's there makes a difference say once feel out loud make that cocoa yeah Cory happen and make it become a reality I want to tell you one more thing about Fela you know when we'd oven many times our bodies are here and our minds are someplace else why is that you know what the answer is because most of us really don't know the meaning of the words and from that one we kind of learned the meaning of the words I want to tell you a little secret Rabbi Bluestein and all the tummy-tuck remember young kilowatts and all the time' to come in here they can tell you you know what it says in the first simin of Shannara it's better to dove in less and understand more than to DOM and more and understand less that's why many times our bodies and our minds are someplace else so tomorrow go and get the book two books if you can one book is Rabbi Avraham foyer on Cheban Desiree it's a wonderful safer printed by art scroll and the second is rubbish wob on prayer that's a little bit deeper but you'll understand it I know you'll get it then you'll understand it because your intelligence know her right there in the green yes okay everybody everybody can understand it but Schwab wrote it said that everybody should understand it but let's learn the meaning of dancing and then all of a sudden our Dava thing is going to be better now listen to this you know I once met a great sadiq in Bnei Brak his name was rubbish lazy singer and I was told that he knew many stories about a certain receiver of hot ska Bronski so I said to maybe Rebbe maybe you could tell me a story about drop hot skull of Bronski that nobody knows he said yeah I'll tell you a great story about him he said you know he lived in by Fagin and he had a neighbor the option of a Rebbe and the option of Herbie was very sick once and he needed a transfusion so they went around Cusco bronze gate I said you know your friend the Rebbe he needs a transfusion he's very sick he said oh you baby we gotta say kill him but I said you know should now I dive in everyday that I don't need the transfusion so every day you darwin that you don't need a transfusion where do you dive it every day they get only the transfusion he said you da man it also except you don't realize so he said listen how he touched it it's unbelievable we say in rocking van or I'll touch with hey no hashem elokenu hashem make it that we don't need lloyd lead a madness we don't need the present boss or the dumb boss are like a transplant of a heart transplant the lung transplant that give me transplant or doma transfusion I couldn't believe it was serious I said that's how he touched it and I came back to Brooklyn and I asked Roberto and I said could you touch it that ways that of course you teach it to regularly loli they might dispose of a dumb but the hosel made up words that you could have a double and a triple meaning so but if you're looking in a sitter and then you see the meaning oh then you're gonna come up with some nice thoughts about real and then underline it in your sitter so listen to this you won't believe it last year was anarchy sure I was in a restaurant with my three granddaughters and my wife and the guy from the food department comes over to me says Robert Chrome because of you I came up with a new plan of governing that's what goes to me he said remember you told that shot Lily they map nice bust of a dumb you know to transplant a transfusion he said look I'm in the food business listen how I touched this plastic you won't believe it nice saying left them laho Buster Keely heirloom Kosta Hashem they say left him he gives bread to L human beings key there long hasta hashem is so great he full of acid so he says you know how I touched it what if you wanted a hot dog so what kind of bread do you get you get a bun right yeah but what happens if you want to have cheese and lox you know can you down the bun eat on the bagel and what happens if you want to have a schwa ma now you're on a Barner bagel eat on a lava and what happens if you want to have falafel balls you eat it on the pizza Wow look how great God is no same last time he gives us all kinds of bread look all boss of all guys the break all kinds of meat right you want a hot dog I'll get you a bun you want a cheese and bake these along as I get your bagel Chihuahua get your life on PITA you know you know for falafel balls whatever I mean I don't know what they serve it to premier but I presume they do that right so this is a nice and welcome hotel right okay so nice and welcoming old boss and now I'm not saying that I'm gonna have that kimono when I haven't exactly what the point is because that's what he was thinking about he was thinking about the meaning of the words of darling and that's really what we have to do and I'll tell you one more thing about doubling then we'll go to the next point of this discussion all of us remember that very very sad tragic incident when three beautiful Israeli boys Naphtali Gilad and i yawn we'll never kidnapped and for two weeks nobody knew where they were and it was so sad and nobody could understand the Israeli detectives are the smartest guys in the world how could they not find what these kids were and then never after two weeks everybody found out that never that they were killed kidnapped and killed and buried and you know I know somebody that went to be Menachem all of them mrs. Frank enough Tully's mother and she said the most incredible thing something so holy it's hard to believe that somebody in our gender could be on such a high Ranma listen to what she said she said at the end I had a partial nahama partial consolation and everybody was wondering she lost a teenage child what kind of consolation could you possibly have listen to what she said she said I knew that my son loved doing mitzvahs and the Mitzvah that he loved to do more than any of the Mitzvah was the midst of trillant and I knew she said there was no way those terrorists were gonna let him wear his villain for those two weeks that he was in captivity but then when I found out that he was killed the first day I said at least Baruchel my son didn't have to go one day without wearing filling could you imagine the holiness of such a lady she lost a child and she's grateful that he didn't have to go one day without wearing fillin and I said that when I heard that every one of us that wasteful and every one of us that daven's has to make a commitment that we're going to be so careful not to talk and not to keep our cell phones on when we davon we should disconnect our cell phones to reconnect - em and wherever I want I spoke about Naphtali in the midst of trilling and you know many of you know her by our own Halbert ow tremendous tomahawk from a great Rebbe and dr.

a thing as I in Hara don't make any mistake about it don't make anyone jealous of you especially non-jewish people those of us who govern the subscribe know that we dive in every day another kindness serve Hashem make sure that nobody's jealous of me and then I'm not jealous of others because there's a price to pay if people are jealous of you you have anything good in your life there's only one person that you can tell it to that won't be jealous of you your mother nobody else not your brother-in-law not your sister-in-law no one you have a beautiful home don't make a suitor side girl nobody cares don't do it gifts taka give help other people if Hashem blessed you with funds don't make a party everybody should go to all the rooms to see your fancy curtains of fancy furniture they couldn't

you're gonna go to a hotel for young turf that's great there's nobody's business you don't have to tell everyone these are phenomenal expenses and oppression and bless you that you could afford it wonderful take advantage of it but don't tell everyone don't tell everyone you're going to Orlando with your whole family and your mother-in-law and your father alone your sister-in-law and the dogs and the cats and everybody and the nurses maids it makes people feel awful because people can't afford it I want you in a workplace and the girl you hear it I mean you know I don't know if you've ever I haven't been to a glacial wedding but I'm told that the go should weddings are like a third of what the way we make weddings so if you're gonna have gum at your wedding you have to be careful you rip their eyes out and they hate us for it and I'll tell you something amazing there's a project in the trailer we should all look up this koi yogurt every single time I go to prom and we stand

have so much and especially if you don't have it and then you go show it it just leads to jealousy it leads to anger at least a hatred we're never gonna stop the hatred but one thing we can do and that is we could curb the hatred and I'll tell you there's Arashi you could look it up in beret Islamic gimel plastic dollars Rashi says how lovely he it's our Lanka it's a fact of life we adore chase of so nearly up guys ace of hate sound good it's on the project that ace have kissed them so at that moment he saw his brother he had Xena what a long time he hugged him and he kissed them but that was unusual but I'm telling you you could be nice and the Graham will hug you I'm embarrassed to tell you but I'm gonna tell you what happened this morning I was in Toronto as I told you I get to the airport JetBlue we were supposed to go 5:30 in the morning turned out that the plane came in last night from Boston Layton that pilots had to sleep so we had to wait two hours so I had to go to the other side of the airport just to find out you know what exactly the plane was gonna leave so they have these electric carts and there was a guy who was waiting there and I said that would you mind taking me to the other side and then we get into a little conversation the best thing that you could do anytime you meet anybody you otherwise ask them their name everybody loves their name I asked him his name tells me his name I said oh I just got back from South Africa he says yeah that was born I said I recognize that name and we got into a whole discussion as we were as he was driving me to the other side and we're talking about you know my being a rabbi and speaking in different topics than I showed him a picture in South Africa you know his hometown his home country a big synagogue with all the girls all the girls there from all the different schools it was so amazing what they did in South Africa It was as if South Mercia Lamas and bischof came together at one at one gathering the office is so unbelievable that people I'm telling you the principal's who came there they were crying because they know each other they never had such akeno's before all the schools not that soccer has a school that but I'm just saying it from the right to the left in the middle we were all there 500 girls and we spoke about Hester than others it was fabulous so I showed him the picture and you know something when he brought him back to where my wife was sitting I was thinking what is my wife thinking this guy gets off the cart it gives me a big hug from South Africa he said you my rabbi I'm gonna call you because I gave him my card I said ceddy you could call me anytime I'm looking I'm waiting for a sext he didn't text me yet but could you imagine what the people in the airport must have thought of which guy on an electric card is hugging a rabbi right because he drove them to the other side of the pole because you know something if you're a nice guy people will love you and you ask them their name again we're not gonna stop the hate but you could curb the hate I'm telling you you could curb the hate you could be friendly with anyone and that's what we're coming here for tonight to talk about what we can do to make sure that we can curb the hate now I want to tell you something I'm gonna tell you a great story it's a great expression many years ago I had the opportunity to be in Manchester and I had the source to be able to speak I was going to speak in an auditorium for 500 women I knew that they were waiting I'm staying by the Bamberger home I'm about to go somebody said to me wait you can't go yet I said well what happened no you got to go visit somewhere else and now I'm gonna go visit this 500 woman waiting for me no no no there's a woman her name is Roberta hobby walk she'll she's brilliant but she has MS and she's in a wheelchair she's paralyzed and she wants the seal on the way there is there any way you could just say shall I come to her I mean I can say no to something like that right okay so I said okay fine so let's get in the car right away we'll just call just say hello and you know we're gonna go I come into the house 25 women sitting around the table they're gonna wait to hear a sheer from her and so far she's not yet in and then they open up the curtain from behind the dining room and they will are in and I thought I would faint a young radiant woman in the early 40s paralyzed and she can only get along in a wheelchair and they will up to the table and she thanks me for coming if she says rubber Crona I need a favor from you and I'm thinking I don't know what she's gonna ask me but how am I gonna say no in front of everybody here I said what can I do feel she said I'm writing a book about my travails my difficulties and it's called facing adversity with faith and please write me a letter for the book I said I should write you a letter you know you have rough cycle the Manchester receiver lives here in Manchester you should write your letter he's a big sounding crab bread that comes to visit you these kind of people they should write your letters not me so no no no I listen to your CDs I read your books please write me a letter now I hadn't read the book and how am I gonna say no so I figured this how I was gonna say no I said listen Rebbetzin I haven't read the book if you send me the book when I get to New York and I look at it and I like it I promise you I'll write you a letter and I figured you know 6,000 miles over the phone I'll tell her no over the phone but she was one step ahead of me she said here's the book I printed it out for you ready she had to print it out in the manual skip and she gives it to me okay I took it I said to look you know tomorrow I'm flying to London so I got to speak there and then I'll read it on the way back I start reading it on the plane from London to New York I could not stop crying it was so sad how her body is deteriorating and I think the saddest part of the book was her daughter's 8th grade graduation because on the 8th grade graduation all the mothers look pretty and the daughters look beautiful and everybody's so happy and her daughter has to come in with a mother in a wheelchair and she's embarrassed for the mother and the mothers embarrassed for her and it was just awful and then near the end of the book she has an expression I tell you I read that expression I took out my pen I underlined it I double-checked it I highlighted it and I made up my mind for this expression alone I'm gonna write her the letter it wasn't her expression she heard it from someone but listen to the brilliance of this thought any fool can count the seeds in one Apple but only the highest power Hashem can count the apples in one seed listen to that again any fool can count the seeds in one Apple you not to be a big holcomb you go to the refrigerator take out an apple count for 5 seeds all but only Hashem knows how many apples can grow from one seat I called her I said Rebbetzin the letters yours I'm gonna take care of it I wrote it and you could get the book was printed by felt I'm facing adversity with faith and she used the name ml Cramer a suit on them because she didn't want to write her own name she was afraid too many people would call her and she was too tired now listen to this the reason I'm telling it to you is because of something that's going on right here within 2 miles from where we sit tonight listen to this many many years ago in the early 1950s in Hamilton Ontario there was a row of his name was Roberta high green and Remora high green was the rabbi of the author actual and the show was falling apart there was a small show but the conservative show and the reformed temple were big gorgeous buildings and Rabbi Green who told me the story knew that if he doesn't build a beautiful building in the new area of Hamilton where the young couples are moving he's not gonna have a show the Orthodox people they're not gonna come to his Shore hit the bottom money he goes to the Royal Bank of Canada and the bank manages a mr. Amy ago you should fellow and he sits down and mr. Amy says to him rabbi how could I help you he says well I want to build a synagogue and I have to borrow money I need $150,000 now he didn't want to say that he wanted to build an Orthodox synagogue because he figured the bank manager knows the Orthodox people in Hamilton they don't have any money how's he ever gonna get his money back right so you might not want to you know given them money he said what kind of synagogue you want to build he said well we worship every Saturday and every day says yeah but what denomination he said I'm an Orthodox rabbi and I want to build an Orthodox synagogue and as soon as he said that tears stop coming down mr. Amy's Chiefs and he's crying I rabbi green said he just sat there like What did he say to make this man cry and mr. Amy said to him rabbi I'm gonna give you the money and you'll be able to build a synagogue but I want to tell you why he said when I was a little boy I lived in Timmins Ontario you could look it up Timmons is 400 miles north of Hamilton and Hamilton is freezing in the weather you can imagine what Timmons is he says one night my father was killed in a fire and the only ones left were me my siblings and my mother and we were devastated we had nothing because my father was the breadwinner of the family now and these small towns he said there's always a general store and the general store sells everything hardware clothes food everything it was owned by an Orthodox Jew his name was Sam Vukovich ski two days after the fire mr. Amy is telling grab my green sambuca feschi came into my house and said to my mother mrs. Amy as long as I own this store your children will never have to buy clothes you come in you take whatever you want you never have to pay me if you want to pay me that's up to you you take whatever you need to your children and every morning I want you to come in you take any bread milk or eggs or butter I will never charge you whatever you want you take it you won't you could keep an account you want to pay me one day that's fine I will never ask you and mr. Amy said I want you to know rabbi only because of that Orthodox Jew did we survive and my mother got a job eventually I was able to go to college I became a bank manager and when I saw you through the open window walk into the bank you look like an Orthodox Jew and suddenly I remembered I never paid back that Orthodox Jew sambhoga feschi from all those years ago and as soon as you said you were an Orthodox rabbi I know God sent you and you know something listen to this you will not believe it most of you who live here know that within a few blocks from here there's the is Shiva called Mei right Mei ma why miss if Tutera Sacco you know who's the Russian Shiva of that yeshiva Mordecai AVI you know what shul he grew up in that show in Hamilton he told me the story and you know something Mordechai Yaffe his parents would not let him go to a yeshiva out of town till he was 18 because they were survivors they were afraid to let him out of town so they wouldn't even sent Upton a shawl in Toronto until he was 80 how did he remain Froome because of moto high greens showed that Sam will covet ski planted the seeds and look at the apples and who did he plant the seeds with not even a Jewish person made no difference because the Amy's family was a family in need and when you do something and you plant seeds look at the apples the apples planted and see in the ami family and you got a Russia Shiva right here a couple blocks away from who's got are hundreds of tell me them and he's the most wonderful guy as you all know that's amazing do you think mister ami would ever say anything wrong about an Orthodox Jew of course not that's how you curb the hate you plant seeds of course you might need guns but that's not the answer and you might need vigilantes outside there sure but that's not the answer you got to make sure before those criminals get to the shul they understand the Jews are the nicest people in the world that they're thinking about kiddush Brian that's the real answer not more guns we may be forced to do that but that's not really what the answer is all about so I just want to say one more thing we'll review an end with a great story I believe that from tonight on you have to start caring for each other we have to make a facet planner and that means that every one of us should have a book that we write down one rest of the day that we did for somebody else I'm not talking a husband for a wife a wife or a husband that you got to do if you know what's good for you I'm talking about outside the house you don't become a big you know bottle of scotch because you made a husband a cup of coffee well he doesn't become a big balls cut because he bought you the bouquet of flowers you know every shoe was every day you're gonna do a custard for somebody else you know why because only long rested you born I can I trouble you one more time all right long blessed you burner the world is built on press set and the test set could even be if somebody's not Jewish makes no difference the human beings they were created by a Shem and look what happened when sambuca vet Sookie what he did for the Amie family and right here thank you so much right here in Woodmere and Lawrence in the five towns hundreds if not thousands of kids by now have gained from those seeds and apples so let's review everything that we said and we'll end with a fabulous story let's remember we all love America it may not be our country on my country Araki Sharla's our country but Eretz america has done tremendous things for us and we oaxaca Sartori with the medina shell HESA there's no question about it that's why I give it an applause right America's a great country and if it's a great country we got to treat everybody who's a citizen as an equal with their haratz the way we drive the way we talk everything about them let's be mikado shame shame I am just remember you're a walking talking representative of claudius trial when you do a good thing they don't say all mr. X did this or mrs. X did this but you did this if you did that you represent all of us yes of course of course we have to remember to always say thank you when we leave tonight say thank you to the police officers that are there for us tonight let's give them a round of applause I [Applause] always admire how neat and well-dressed they are it's amazing besides yeah yeah you guys always look great I don't know you and pilots you always look amazing yeah it's unbelievable but anyway you got to teach us some lessons how you keep your weight down and everything I don't know maybe you'll come up here right but anyway we have to remember we're never gonna stop the hate but we could curb the ate and we could curb the hate bite a Coco Yaakov ayodhya me to a sub we are elevated then we have to respond to celephais Adan of course we as you said we might need guns in the show and we might need police officers but that's not what is gonna change things it's gonna make sure worse things don't happen but we can make sure these things don't happen even before they start let's make sure that we dump it out loud we each make up something that we're going to do to dolphin out loud or try to care more for each other to try to keep that special planner as we said and as we said we're not going to try to rip out the eyes of others and make other people jealous if I sham blesses you with anything tell it to your mother keep it to yourself be grateful say made them Thank You Hashem but you don't have to say anything to anybody else I just want to enter this beautiful thought many of you know and there's some people here have come with me on these trips that I take in Europe where year this guy flourished and I remember the first time that I went to Italy and I was wondering what is in Italy what kind of Jewish history was in Italy and of course the bar to Nora was in Italy but sugar is not only a wine you know you know bride - Nora was a real person who lived in Italy was a great tomahawk on and I'll tell you something you know you know Rashi wine so I just want to tell you I didn't mean it has nothing to do with the speech but I just got to get this off my chest you know the first time that I saw Rashi wine I decide I'm not gonna how can I drink washy wine what somebody calls wine Rashi magic Holy of wine moisture Rubino you know he was the Rebbe of Claudius trial how could you call wine Rashi but I had to admit their advertising was fabulous you know what they said our wine is Rashi all the rest is commentary that's great right now I couldn't get her ready but anyway fine but anyway so there but sooner or was there this foreigner was dead themselves she shot him was there and then I realized that the saddest day of the trip was gonna be the final day when we were going to go to an arch of Tito's the arch of teeth us is in downtown Rome by the Roman ruins and they try to show you how old the country is thousands of years old and I wondered why - I'm allowed this arch which if you see it online you'll see there's a sculpture there and it shows that either the Jewish prisoners or the Roman soldiers are carrying out terminar on and it's him it's perfection most of the Roman ruins half the buildings are gone and they keep him there but why did God allow this and you know something in 1953 the Punisher of came there some say not a lot of walk under the arch so he walked around and on the side he said T Tostitos you thought you were gonna outlive us today nobody cares anymore about the Roman Empire but we have hidden living all over the world and then I told him a story that happened with a Jewish correspondent he was not religious and what happened was that he came to the northern part of England near Newcastle on the River Tyne and that's where Hadrian's Wallis Hadrian was hydrogenous Adrianna's killed Rabbi Akiva and this guy was reporting on that wall there was 70 miles long but today people just take off pieces of brick from it you know it's not anything that's so holy or whatever and somebody came over to mount that that he was Jewish he said you know this is the Jewish neighbor Thea would you like to come to see the Jewish name he said what Jewish neighborhood gate said oh he never heard of gate said so the genius whoever brought him in said I'm gonna show you the Russia Shiva he brings him in through I believe Gerwitz her blade sees that guy knows nothing about anything he says come with me and he takes him into the gate said based medicine rum at the shell Solomon's Lanka's and told me he remembers the day that I've laid brought in this guy they gave me Alka plumped it on his head and he never saw base marriage before and he sees big Brooks little books on the shelves off the shelf over as yelling screaming guessing question rabbi what's going on here did you think here you know what I believe sets him he said I'll tell you why I brought you here because you came to report about Adriano killed Rabi Akiva nobody cares about Hadrian anymore but you see these 200 guys they're still trying to figure out what robbery had Kiba meant and then hundreds of places all around the world wherever yet evil lives and they're trying to figure out what he meant but we have Kira lives Adrian doesn't live anymore and then I understood you know why a sham lift that arch there for us not for the million tourists have come there every year we have to learn that lesson you know what that lesson is the journey of the greatest and thy Semites ever tito's and the ones who killed the hidden and the second base time made us and destroyed the base time made us they carried out that menorah that's the beginning of the journey of garlis how we gonna end the journey if we carry that Minerva that menorah scan their Mitzvah Torah or every one of us has to know that the real light of Claudius Sharla's Torah and the real candles are mitzvos if every one of us does Torah and mitzvot every day we're gonna make it to the end of the journey that anti-semite eat us he started us on that journey when he threw us out of your shall I am but if we want to make it to Messiah we got to carry that banner that's how we're gonna stop the hatred when Messiah comes Hashem should bless all of us have tremendous respect for every person that has been created didn't or otherwise makes no difference we can curb the hate every one of us in our old lives can curve date we won't stop it but we could curb it we can be decent we can be kind we can be elegant we can do a lot of great things and we can come back to our Father in heaven by diving out loud doing you tested oil impressive Ivana and carrying that banner in their midst of eternal our that's how a year answers this problem Hashem should bless all of us that come to protect us the police officers the vigilante is all those wonderful government officials we need them but it starts even before that if we do all the things that we spoke about hopefully there is recession we won't need them they'll be able to go to the ball games and enjoy life and maybe see the Mets win a game this year maybe and who knows if we keep on doing all the wonderful things maybe we will be safer to see mushiya on our time I thank you all for inviting me I thank you for listening [Music]
