right mindset and grow during the during that series and also um I want you to stay tuned there's going to be the grand opening of the ladies and girls Senator we're from a project of David festive I want you to stay tuned for that and we're here motel with satka and um the the CM event is October 23rd we have a chrome design for that so it's a men's only event and we're here because you know that we're right here for the during the school years you know that uh there's one way to elevate your L and your shot on your care about the fellow brothers and sisters who knows 10 over 10 000 kids from in public school because on the Forefront of doing hero and really inspiring the public school students and with after school and Sunday school programs in 50 different locations and the last five years as long as I've transfer over 1 200 kids from Bubble screen Shiva so everyone in the city right now or watching online yeah everyone knows out of the parents children's public schools in that process is a great great honor we shall stand for a couple of uh [Music] As We Know foreign I'm assume make the the reason all the arms everything happened in the air is coming in this coming two days Monday and Tuesday and we are all all year round so if you want to cry to the government to pray to us every time all day around is only the only the results of the year what happened on the earth happened already last year there is now we went to make a new year so we need to prepare before the judge you need to prepare because after a while this is to make appear is very hard foreign and of course Abe Rosenthal to come to speak to you literally the last day of elul and of course less than 24 hours before Rosh Hashanah there's a very interesting pursuit in Amos Amos is one of the navient and it writes like this if a lion roars Milo yira wouldn't you be afraid if you were walking on Main Street or on Melbourne or any place around Union Turnpike and you saw a lion roar everybody would be afraid so the mafarsham say that the word Arya which is spelled Olive stands for eloh Rosh Hashanah yes these days of el Rosh Hashanah yeah roaring to us shouldn't we be afraid so of course that's the purpose of the kinos tonight to bring our hearts to think about what we have to do to improve and how we can become elevated and you know a number of years ago on call midray night the rabbi of Mysore raphama Taliban he already passed away but he asked a very interesting question he said what is deposit telling us if a lion roars wouldn't you be afraid he said I took my kids to the Bronx Zoo and they were hearing How the Lion roared and all they did was laugh and they wanted to go closer and closer to the lion and hear how he roared so what's going on here the project says and the Bronx Zoo my kids they love to hear the lion roar and they were standing and watching so he said of course the lion was in a cage and when the Lion's in a cage you got nothing to worry about right and then he said something brilliant you have to see this inside to believe it if you open up your Sidora you open up your sukas Maser you know what the last tefila the last prayer of ashanarama you know what it is you wouldn't believe it it should be the will of Hashem remove that iron bar that cage that separates us in other words we are asking Hashem don't be in a cage if we put Hashem in a cage and we've got nothing to be afraid of and we're not going to be afraid and we're not going to respect and do anything so much inputs on the cage us in a cage also there's no connection so what we have to do is tonight we have to break that cage and that's the Thriller that we say at the end of ashanaraba that we should feel close to Hashem no cage no separation no barrier and then if there's no separation oh Arya is then we have something to be hesitant and Afraid about however everyone here should know that we can roar back it's true these days Roar to us but you know what bilham said about the Jewish people hey like a long yeah like a young lion we can get up we can answer and tonight that's what we have to learn we have to learn how to answer these Roars of these days now the first thing that I think that is so important is that every one of us has to know how to be the perfect Jew and I'll tell you something very very interesting inspector the governor of once said something on a possic in truma you're really surprised of all the parsias it's impartious truma and it tells us how every man woman and child can be the perfect Jew and this is how it is he says he talks about the proven remember the wings that were on top of the orange and it tells us the wings they spread upward but at bottom of the Wings there were faces of two little children some say it was a little boy and a little girl and the plastic says opening that their faces faced each other said the Covenant said that's what a Jew is all about on one hand per se cannot find him lamila he has to return filler his mindset has to be towards shamayam towards heaven but on the other hand that's but a person could never ever forget is and that's what we have to think about tonight how can we make it that all of us should think about not only the Bernardo Mama as well now tonight we've come for a very specific person purpose and that purpose is Tove and the offices of Tove have bought a building so that there should be a new women's center now in order for all of us to grow and to reach our potential we need a place where we can have shurim where we can do projects where we can prepare for the um where there could be a Jewish Library where they could be marriage counseling now this building is beautiful but it's not big enough for both the men and the women and that's why people went out of their way to buy the building next door so that Women's Center will be able to be a place where women and girls will be able to come ashkenazi's party anybody from Queens anybody from any place and it's going to become the focal point where women will be able to grow and Terra your shamayan now rabbia Victor Miller always used to say this and it is so important you'll see the dioc that he makes in halal an apostle can halal says to Hashem Hashem please help me because I am your servant and then he adds something incredible why am I your servant then because I had such a mother I am the daughter of your maidservant so David Amela who achieved so much and he wrote till him and this mirrors of claw Israel and was a king for so many years and a leader that we still followed today why was he who he was he says I was your servant because I had such a mother Ben amaseka and you know what Rabbi Miller pointed out something very interesting it doesn't even say his mother's name wouldn't you want to know his mother's name here's the person who made dovet who he was and it doesn't even mention her name so I don't know if anybody here knows her name but it is a Gamora and I'm going to tell it to you because most people don't even realize that this is the name that's a good morning Baba bastra and it tells us the name of three mothers that most of us don't know their names does anybody know the name of avram avinu's mother what I'm telling right I'm right very good I noticed it's from the women right well maybe we should build a men's Center okay okay now what was name his mother does anybody know that oh my goodness Tamar you're amazing again from the women what's going on here she's right not seven and then there's the third one shimshan's mother does anybody know children's Mother slav phones so the three mothers that none of us know the names well look at the children that they had a problem and slavonus at chimchon but the idea is why was he the way he was that was only because of his mother so I want to tell you a story what does it mean to have a mother that is so special that can affect every single one of us here tonight if you don't know the story you will not believe it you see this organization here called khazak so one time I was asked to speak in Woodmere at a parlor meeting to raise funds for khazak who helped start hazak together with his brother Yaniv he got up and he told this amazing story I couldn't believe that he would tell the story listen to this you see his mother shashana and his father Moshe they came from bukharia and they got married and they were in Israel and then they came here to Queens and they weren't the most religious people you know traditional and Elon said that his mother wanted that Elon Yaniv was too small then at that time Elon and his other brother older brother should go to a Yeshiva so they lived in Forest Hills and what happened was some people told them you know there's a school in Hillcrest that would be a nice place to go to she didn't know any difference she comes into the school and the first thing Elon said I'm sitting there and he's still saying this he said his mother was not impressed with the rabbi because the rabbi didn't have a beard it's okay I was Michelin okay anyhow she walked around the school and she did not feel the warmth of Judaism the warmth of yiddishkite in the school and she decided no this is not for her she's not going to send and yet here they were little little kids so then she went back to Forest Hills where she lived and somebody told her about a school named Ori Israel the principal at that time was Rabbi Yoshua or Rabbi Shia guilt seller a tall striking man with a long flowing beard a tremendous tremendous she walked in to the building on Thornton Street and Forest Hills and she could hear some kids were singing the davening another another song another place they were learning how much she didn't know what it was but she heard you know the rebbe and the children singing and she saw all the great rabbis on the wall and she comes into the office of Rabbi gel cell and Rabbi gel is talking to her and she says she wants to bring her son and Yaniv that they should go to this school now Rabbi gel Salah started talking to shashana and he saw you know the kids don't really have that much background you know the parents came from baharia they didn't have an opportunity to learn any Yeshiva aurobasiakov and obviously the kids didn't know that much so Rabbi gel seller said to shashana I just want to tell you I don't think that this place is for you because you know in the beginning some of the rubbish speak Yiddish and the boys come from a different background so it might not be for you and she's beginning to realize that he's rejecting her voice and she starts crying she knew she couldn't argue with Rabbi gel Salah but she was so heartbroken that this Yeshiva that had the rabbis on the wall and the kids were singing or whatever and the rabbi looked like mashiach himself you know he looked like such a Sonic she was just crying in tears or coming down her cheeks she didn't say a word and you know what Rabbi gel Salah said to her your boys are accepted he saw the tears of a yiddishamama of a Jewish mother Elon eventually became the valedictorian in the school Elon and Yaniv have built hazak and what Ravi was saying before over a thousand children today have been taken out of public school because of hazak so who are the grandchildren who is the grandmother of these thousand kids from public school that's one mother one principal Rabbi gel Salah who saw a Jewish mother cry because she wasn't going to be able to get the right that's what this woman Center is all about of course many of us here are certainly religious but we know there are thousands that can use a woman Center to bring up the level of Yiddish guide so that a mother would cry when her children don't have the property that's the purpose of the Women's Center to build up mothers and daughters so that they will have children like Yaniv and Elon incredible a Jewish mother's tears that made all the difference now I'll tell you something very interesting you know when Harbor was created So Adam gave her name is she was the mother of all living beings if you ask a question if she was the mother of all living beings why doesn't it say was the father of all living beings no place does it say that Adam was it only says that safer says something brilliant he says it doesn't just mean that she was the first mother because otherwise you know he was the first father he writes like this before they did the aveira there was no problem raising children all kids were wonderful and husbands and wives had equal responsibility of raising the kids you didn't need therapists you didn't need psychologists everything was wonderful then when they did the great oh then Hashem said that Java is going to have Tsar gig upon him that she is going to have the pain of raising children and he writes like this it was became responsibility of the mother not only lahonic Ole Godly to raise and to nurse the child to give the child Rios and make him feel special and validate him um and make him feel beautiful that's the role of the Jewish mother that's why she was called and that's what the mothers can be every woman can be that every daughter can be that Hashem when they have children and grandchildren and that's the purpose of the Women's Center I had a mother like that I want to show you one thing that my mother did besides everything else I mean the fact that she believed that I could do anything when you have a mother that believes you could do anything after a while you begin to believe it also but I remember when I was 21 years old my father passed away now he was 47 so when you're 21 you think 47 is an old man but most of us here past 47 realize how young that was and I had to leave the Yeshiva I supported my mother and my six younger brothers and sisters my father had taught me how to be a more hell and so now I had to go out and be a mohel and support my mother and my younger brothers and sisters and not many people were interested in taking a 21 year old kid as a male I would walk into a house and a grandmother would look at me and say oh you look so young so I would say the baby's also Young but I want to tell you when I would come home and I would say either I came home from Yeshiva when I was able to be there I'll come home from a Brisk so I would ask my mother mom were there any calls so they were they hadn't been called so she could have said no that's not what she said you know what she said the two greatest words I ever heard not yet now you know what not yet meant not yet meant so far they didn't come but they're going to come and there's going to be a day when you are going to be so busy you won't even know what to do first but that showed confidence that's the aim called high that's what a Jewish mother is all about and that's what the South safer writes not only lahonik or a godly to nurse and to raise the child um to make that child feel beautiful and when you have a mother like that then that's what's going to be the training in this Women's Center we're going to have rabbana we're gonna have therapists psychologists teachers guidance counselors it's all going to be there it's all going to be there and that's the purpose of coming here tonight to realize the hashivas of what we have to accomplish now I want to read you something that is absolutely incredible and you will see what a mother is all about now this is a poem nobody seems to know who wrote this poem but just listen to it carefully you will never forget it my little boy came into the kitchen this evening while I was fixing supper and he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writing on so after wiping my hands on my apron I read it and this is what it said for mowing the grass five dollars for making my bed this week one dollar for going to the store 50 cents for playing with baby brother while you went shopping 25 cents for taking out the trash one dollar forgetting a good report card five dollars and for raking the yard two dollars well I looked at him standing there expectantly and a thousand memories flashed through my mind so I picked up the paper and turning it over this is what I wrote for the nine months I carried you growing inside me no charge for the nights I sat up with you doctored you and prayed for you no charge for the time and the tears and the cost through the years no charge for the nights filled with Dread and the worries ahead no charge for advice and the knowledge and the cost of your college no charge here's my favorite line for the toys food and clothes and for wiping your nose no charge son when you add it all up the full cost of my love is no charge now listen to this well when he finished reading he had great big tears in his eyes and he looked up at me and he said Mama I sure do love you then he took out the pen and in great big letters he wrote paid in full that's what a mother's all about and that's why Tove has decided that it's time to build a building for the mothers of claisro ad mothers Ashkenazi mothers the mothers in Claudia Israel could do so much and have done so much and they are really the ones that are the future of Claud Israel they assure the future of Claudius Rowe foreign that's what builds the Jewish Home and I want to share with you a story what does it mean to build a Jewish Home in 1939 there was a woman in Czechoslovakia she lived in the town called topochani her name was Esther barenfeld and in those days in 1939 the Nazis were running throughout Europe and they were taking 20 year old boys she had a 22 year old son mayor they were taking them to concentration camps and if they weren't going to be caught in the concentration camps they would have to go to the Czechoslovakian Army and she knew she had to get her children out of there but no countries wanted to take them it was 39. America didn't want to take any more immigrants and England didn't want to take Canada didn't want to take but she knew she had to get her son out of there so listen to what she did she found out that there are only five Spanish countries that would be willing to take young children young like 20 year olds Paraguay Uruguay Bolivia Chile and Brazil you come from one of those countries don't you aren't you right so listen to this listen to the wisdom of a Jewish woman in those days there were no Arts girls the main company that had sudurem that were spread all around was a company in the Lower East Side called shilzinger that was the name of the company all this adorable and hamashim so this woman from Czechoslovakia writes to the president of the Schlesinger company listen to what she writes him she said where do you sell of these five countries where do you sell the most adoram and Paraguay Uruguay Bolivia Chile or Brazil because she figured out if he sells the most that's where the most Jews are right out of these five countries how does she know where to send her kid and he wrote her back he was so amazed at this question because he understood why she wanted to know he told that Montevideo and Uruguay and she got a Visa and she sent her son 7 000 miles away from Czechoslovakia to Montevideo in your life he said Mom where am I going she said go to the bookstore the Jewish bookstore she said Ma I don't know him he doesn't know me tell him I sent you he'll take care of you and that's what he did he went to a country not knowing anyone and the Bookseller from guy he understood why the mother sent him and he took care of him eventually the guy got married his son was my classmate intervidas Irvin Irving bernfeld he lives today in Montreal this woman Esther burnfeld all her children grandchildren and great-grandchildren are all from why because that's what that's what wrote the wisdom of women that's what builds the Jewish Home as a matter of fact we all knows because of notchem Sid kanyas only the women that's why they went out of metrium so let me tell you what's going to go on in the building next door first of all they will be there a holiday I can tell you from countries that I have been to whether it's South Africa whether it's in England I just got back from England Thursday night and they told me when they have a challah bake and hundreds and hundreds of women come it inspires so many of them to become from and to become part of the community and that's what's going to be able to be done in that building next door they're going to be projects for every hug for Hanukkah for Purim they'll be able to make there's no room here for girls to sit here the night before poor man makes for everybody but that's going to be room in that building there's going to be projects and gifts that they'll be able to send to women in nursing homes and in hospitals that's the purpose of that building now I'll show you something very interesting you know what the Gamora tells us amazing built [Music] from the side of Adam origin he built a woman and he brought it to man and the third to MIMA and the Gomorrah says that women now all the men shouldn't get insulted but the women are smarter than the men that's what it says ish that women have more intelligence and more understanding than men do and to turn to MIMA says how does the Gomorrah know that what do they see it in the Posse and the answer is because by all other creations it says either by Evra or it doesn't say even comes from the lotion of Bina and Bina yasera that's exactly what women have and women have that Bina yasera and that's what I believe the next door building should be called it should be the Bina Center Bina is understanding and intelligence and because the Gomorrah tells us that is what the women have that's exactly what it should be there I want to give you an example of what an 80 year old man told me when he was a young man he came from Auschwitz he had the numbers on his hand he showed me the numbers that he had on his end and he was lucky to be one of the survivors he came to America he was in his early 20s or 25 or whatever he had survived and then he wanted to get married they wanted to build a family and he got married and shortly after he got married he got very sick and he was rushed to the hospital and he was going to have surgery on a Tuesday morning he calls his wife he says get me out of the hospital tonight you got to come here and get me out of here she says what are you talking about you went to all the doctors you have to have the surgery the surgery is all set for tomorrow morning he said I come here I'll show you but you got to get me out of here okay so she runs to the hospital and she says what's the matter why are you panicking he says I shouldn't panic I want to show you something he says take a look at the numbers on my arm and he reads the numbers and then he says take a look at my wristband that they gave me in the hospital every patient in the hospital gets a wristband he said it's the exact same numbers that I had in Auschwitz that's terrible muzzle I'm getting out of here now if you were his wife how in the world could you convince him differently right terrible muzzle the numbers of the Auschwitz is the numbers of The Wristband on the spot you know what she told him that's the Brina yasera she said Hashem gave you those numbers and with those numbers you were saved the same Hashem gave you these numbers and with these numbers you're going to be saved and you know something that convinced him he had the surgery he wasn't even 30 years old when I met him he was 80. could you imagine that's the Brina yasera that's the purpose of building the Bena Center next door because all the women there are going to be able to be able to grow and be great people foreign I want to tell you something else that I feel that is so important it tells us that when Hashem created prabha the posix says [Applause] Hashem took one of the sides of Adam origin means and he filled in flesh in its place foreign that's the first time the letter samach appears by a living creature Not By the birds not by the fish and not by The Animals why why so there's a wonderful wonderful book called The Wisdom of the Hebrew alphabet you must get it it's from Oscar it is brilliant every page you will learn something about the Isle of phase and in there he writes that the samach is a perfect circle the samach is a perfect wall and he says you know why the samach appears by a man and a wife first Vegas because that's what every wife is supposed to do protect the husband and that's what every husband is supposed to do to protect the wife and it occurred to me that's why the kala walks around the Hassan she's making a summer and what does the husband give the color he gives her a sama he gives her a ring and that's the summer that's the protective wall and that's why vayascar is written with a samach by the creation of man and wife as a matter of fact the targum on the Posse I will make him a help mate is essle I will make for him a samachar protective wall you know what marriage is really supposed to be the ABCs of Life a means to feel accomplishment if a person is living alone he can't accomplish he can't accomplish it's only a husband and a wife together that could feel a sense of accomplishment he helps her that's the ASA connect day to help mate the long way B is to build a family and C is to feel contentment we all know that in so many families today and especially on younger families this conflict Rift and dissension and in these walls in these walls that were supposed to be protective this the walls are pierced broken and sometimes they crumble now of course I don't know most of you here I have no idea who's divorced and who's not and certainly this is going to go to tens of thousands of people but divorce is a difficult situation let me tell you I'm involved with an organization called sister to sister it is so painful when people are divorced and it is so painful for the children and what they want to do in the women's center is to make sure that young couples that are going out that and when they get engaged not only are they going to learn Tara Sam ashboka but they're going to learn how to live life together as we said before they'll be psychologists there'll be guidance counselors they'll be all kinds of rabonim and therapists and this will be available in the women's center and that's why we have to support it and that's why Tov went out of their way to buy the building to ensure the future of Claud Israel now I have a very good friend who's a marriage counselor that's not why he's my friend but he happens to be my friend and his name is avram parents Friedman and he wrote a wonderful little book called table for two and in there he writes marriage is not a question of finding the right partner rather it's a question of being the right partner marriage is not a question of finding the right partner most of the time we're blaming the other partner because we didn't find the right one but marriage is a question of being the right partner and that's what we're going to try to accomplish at the Bina Center now I can tell you you know as a person that's in the public Realm many times couples will come to me and you know they thought that they were so alike you know when they got engaged you know some couples tell me you know we both when we came back from Israel I was in a basement she was in seminary I didn't even know but we both ended up in Switzerland weren't we exactly alike and we both like the music right as if that's going to make a marriage do you know that one couple actually told me they both used Crest with daughter protection so isn't that a like and one couple you wouldn't believe this they told me he said they she asked him who's your favorite speaker so he said Robert Crone so he said oh wow that's my favorite speaker as well now listen to what the guy did this was in the days when they were cassettes you can't do this today uh you know on the mp3s but he took a cassette and in the middle of the cassette he imitated my voice and he put it into the car when they were driving now she's in the middle of listening they're on a date and they're in the middle of listening and all of a sudden she hears devoa you know who you're sitting to you're sitting next to a guy named Shia and you should marry him because he's a wonderful guy she almost fell out of the car because he sounded and you know something she got engaged him and they got married and they're living in Earth's Own they're very very happy but you know what happens with many of these couples you know they get married and then they realize you know this guy is a night person you know he likes to stay up late at night she likes to go to sleep early well sometimes this guy's a neat freak you know he's cleaning out with the toaster he's cleaning out you know with a toothpick all the crumbs and she is a holy wreck you know her mother used to say just close the door so nobody will see what your room looks like you know when you go out you don't ask those kind of questions right and some guys you know spend money like anything and she's going crazy because he bought a Danish for two dollars instead of for a dollar ten right so all of a sudden this conflict drift and Ascension and what happens these things get worse and worse and when they get worse and worse that's terrible and that's the purpose of the woman's Center the purpose is to make sure that these things don't happen and if they do happen that there'll be guidance so that people will be able to take care of themselves and be able to build a future in clog your style now I'll tell you something very interesting you know we know that ashes Heil speaks about the ideal woman but I always was puzzled how come in Asia's Kyle it doesn't say anything about lighting candles we know that that's one of the main Mitzvahs of a woman lighting candles right so how come it doesn't say anything about Outlook Us in there so I'll tell you what I thought if you take a look at the possic that begins with the letter Tess right begins with the letter test it says like this she senses that her Enterprise is good her candle doesn't go out at night that means she's working till very very late at night but you know what I think it also means Lila is Darkness the great woman and I sell I know some of them sitting in this audience when things are rough in the house they are the ones that always have the positive attitude when things are dark they candle their Globe doesn't go out they're telling their husbands you're going to be okay and things are going to be fine and we're going to pass through this we're going to manage do you know how many people told me during Sandy Hurricane Sandy when people lost so much money nobody was killed but people lost furniture and swore him and the houses were wrecked and the husbands were mental wrecks many of them and the wife said don't worry we're going to make it and so many husbands told me that it was only because of the wives that they were able to exist s I want to tell you a phenomenal phenomenal story now I know that this was I once mentioned this and I think they played it on the daily dose but this is one of the greatest stories that you'll ever hear and it will give us an Insight of what we have to do in the upcoming year and for the rest of our lives and Lakewood a number of years ago they announced that two days before the yantev of pesach there's going to be no school so that all the rebbies will be able to be home and they'll be able to help their wives because pesach is very busy I don't have to tell you how much has to be done so now it was two days before yantev and the fifth grade Webby came into the house and he came into the kitchen and he said to his wife he said how can I help you we have all for two days tell me what should I do she says you really want to know what you should do we have six kids if you could take all the six kids on a four hour outing out of the house that'll be the best I could bake I could cook I could clean just get him out of the house and he's thinking where in the world is he going to go from Lakewood you know for four hours so then he decides he's going to take them to Newark Airport why so I don't know if you were ever in Newark airport but they have it also in Kennedy they have what's called an air train an air train it goes from one terminal to the other so let's say you're coming in United and you've got to go on uh whatever pwa if it still exists or whatever so you have to go through a different terminal so you go on this train and it takes you from American to United to Delta wherever you have to go and in Newark the train is so sleek and so fancy so beautiful and it goes near the runway so you could see the planes they can go off and you see the planes landing and it goes over the Jersey turnpike so you're thinking okay fine he'll take the kids to the air train to get on the air train and get some long-term parking gets on the AirTrain and he's taking them all around and for two hours they are on the train and they're loving every second of it after two hours a pilot comes onto the train he had just landed from some place very neat looking guy with a cap very slender you know how all these Pilots look and he comes in and he sees a father with six kids so he's very friendly he says to the kids ah we're all flying today you know what to say so they look at the father so the father says actually we're flying nowhere he says uh nowhere he says you know we're Jewish and we have a Jewish holiday that's coming up in two days and my wife wanted that I should take the kids out so I she could bake and cook and clean so you know I decided to take him on this outing and you know having a great time together on the air train and the pilot got very very serious and he said young man I want to tell you something you see I have been a pilot for 25 years there is not an airport a major airport in the world that I haven't landed in two years ago I got a text from my son he said Dad you never had the decency to come to any of my birthday parties you didn't even have the decency and the courtesy to come to my graduation and last week was the birthday of my first son your first grandson and you didn't even come to his birthday party do me a favor take my number out of your contacts and he said two weeks later I got the same text from my daughter he says young men I have traveled everywhere but gone nowhere you told me that you're going nowhere but I'm telling you with your kids you're going everywhere what an amazing thing he's going everywhere that's what it's all about and you know something that's what we have to do more than anything else we all have children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren with Hashem most important that we can do the most important thing that we can do is to connect to our children and grandchildren I know we're all busy especially in New York we are so busy with so many things and they're wonderful things that's what's going to be taught in the Women's Center the priority is children your sons and your daughters and that's what the woman sent to the Venus Center is going to try to accomplish to build the future Generations I want to tell you a story that just happened in Earth Israel it was written up Silverstein it is so incredible and it's going to teach us a very very important lesson there was a fellow who lived in one of the uh settlements it's called Malay Ephraim and it's among Arab neighborhoods and this guy male Ephraim that's where he lived and this fellow always used to tell the people ashore shut your cell phones but don't even bring him in the show and they said you know don't worry we'll put it on um what's it called uh I'm So Silent right there's another word for it vibrant vibrate right we'll put on vibrate and he said no because if you not if you want to connect Hashem you got to be disconnected from everybody else so they said yeah but we live among the Arabs he said good so two people will keep the phones on but if you have it on vibrate you're gonna look at it don't even shut it off or don't bring it into the show everybody knew that that's what he always said every day he would tell and complain when people had their phones on it happened Rob Silverstein writes this he wrote this impartial State he writes every week they write the suck that he passed in that week and the stories that he heard and there's a fellow Yeshua lion guard who writes that I spoke to him and he writes like this a couple weeks ago before Patrick's Day gift because he wrote it in partial second this guy was coming home from your shalayim in a uh with his wife from a wedding and they went through the Arab neighborhoods and they were going up to Mali Ephraim and suddenly he turns to his wife in the car he says I think we're being followed she says what are you talking about he says look there's a car behind us without lights and they're sneaking up on us I'm afraid it's terrorists she said well why don't you just make a left turn and go down the road this way say makes a left turn on the car behind him also makes a left turn and he starts speeding and they're speeding and suddenly the shots rang out and he's trying to get away as fast as he can because he knows now for sure that it's terrorists and is able to make a turn off the road somehow he jumps out of the car before they were able to turn around and see that he was and him and his wife are rolling on the ground away from the highway as she takes out her phone and she calls the police and she says come come we're being chased by terrorists they're shooting at us and the guy who's the dispatcher in the police station said where are you calling from she says we're on the bottom of the hill of Molly Ephraim he said it's impossible she said what do you mean it's impossible we know where we live there's no cell phone service that you can't be calling me and he hangs up on her because he thought it was a prank call so this guy calls the police and Molly Ephraim because they know him and he says you've got to help me we're on the ground we're hiding that terrorist shooting at us so they come because they know him and they ask him where he is they say we don't believe you but we'll come there because there's no cell phone service there and they come and of course they come with the police jeeps and as soon as the Arabs saw the police Jeeps they ran away and they saved them and for three months he could not talk about it he was so traumatized that he was almost killed and then he made a pseudocido a Surah means a suda of thanks and at the pseudo said though you know what the Ralph said that when the police from Molly Ephraim came they showed him their cell phones there was no connection you could not make a cell phone down there somehow his cell phone worked he said because this guy always said that if you want to connect to Hashem you have to disconnect from everybody else Hashem made it in a place where everybody else was disconnected he was connected to Hashem in a place where no cell phone could work his somehow worked miraculously and he was connected to Hashem and that's really what we have to do we are so disconnected sometimes when we Daven and we learn because the text and the emails and the whatsapps and all the other things they may be important in business they may be important in other places but when you learn and when you dive in and when you eat with your children you have to disconnect to reconnect Hashem and to reconnect to your family that is so important and we have to remember what rabbit told us told us every one of us in davening and in learning has to be connected to Myla but we also have to have the penne we have to have a and that's something I'll tell you I was asked recently many many times since Ram passed away to speak about him and I always tell this story his wife was Nifty on Shabbos so of course there could be no has paid and now had no funeral was Shabbos so all the grandchildren they came to his house and the great grandchildren and they asked them and they said what is the greatest media that our Bobby had what was the greatest media of Robertson bacheva kanifsky so some people thought for sure he's going to say because every girl that came for a shirach so she would always say learn to Allah that's not what he said they thought maybe it's nears because she always spoke about sneeze that's not what he said they thought I was Israel no you know what he said the Bubba's greatest media was savlonas patience he said how many people how many women used to come and she used to cry with them and she used to Darvin with them and said you know very well that many of them were not all there but she still had the patience for them someone told me this is hard to believe there was an American woman she was not normal she used to call the rabbit said every Friday to get a kiss over the phone and if she didn't like the kiss she asked her to kiss her a second time or a third time Robertson did it salvonus that's the name is we come to Rosh Hashanah and we ask Hashem to forgive us of course that's what we're going to do on Yom Kippur and I just want to end just with this thing I just got back from England I was there for a few days and I must tell you even before I went there to see the pageantry and the coven and the adulation and the respect that they gave to the queen was absolutely incredible Nobody Does it Like the British people all the processions all the soldiers all the attention and it occurred to me tomorrow night we're going to start saying and then I said to me we're going to say and we dive in mounters what are we doing to make Hashem the king what covet are we giving to Hashem the way they gave to the queen and I think that we could Obi macabo something and that's what I told him in England and in England of course where they all saw do you know that some people told me I couldn't get over this there were some people first of all every school was closed the day of the funeral there were some fathers that took their kids to the funeral so they could sing King Charles and make a bracha how do you like that that's a dinner if you see a king you have to make a brother we can't do that in America there's no Monarch here but they took them to see the king so they should be able to make a broken so how do we make Hashem the king especially coming from seeing everything that they did for Queen Elizabeth I'll tell you what the answer is I think every time from tonight on till after when you say Abraham Mitzvah whether it's lighting candles Friday night Hanukkah Circus Love whatever when you say the words elecano Miller stop stop for a second and think Hashem you are our King we are your subjects there's no logical reason to put on filling there's no logical reason to put on the towers what's a bench candles Friday night why are we doing it we're doing it only because we are your subjects you are the Miller So when you say the brother any bracha Allah make sure that you think for a moment Hashem you the king and we are your subjects and that's why we're doing your Mitzvahs and I think that if we approach Rosh Hashanah in that way and that we know that we are here for one reason and one reason only that we are the sons and the servants and the subjects of the melach we do that I believe that tough Shin pay gimmel could very well stand to hnas Pearson Gola it'll be the year that the Gula is mafar same is known and that Hashem will see that we are his people I'll tell you with this one more thing I don't know if you know this maybe you saw this do you know what happened this past Friday in England King Charles wanted to meet with all the heads of the various religions and one of the people he invited was Rabbi Mervis who was the chief Rabbi of of Judaism in in England Chief rabbi the meeting was supposed to be at six o'clock Shabbos was 6 30. so the rabbi wasn't going to be able to come the Royal Court found out about it and without calling the rabbi they changed it so he should be able to come and then made the meeting at 5 30. now listen to this you will not believe this at 5 30 the king began speaking and he finished at six at six he looks at his watch and he points to the rabbi he says Rabbi you got to go your Sabbath is coming imagine the king so the Rabbi says to him I can't leave the protocol is that when there's a king at the meeting no one is allowed to leave the room until the king leaves and you know what occurred to me that when the safety is open you can't leave the shul you can only leave a shul if to save it there was closed but if it's open you're not allowed to leave the king is here are you gonna walk out so the king said to him the Sabbath is more important I give him permission to leave and you have a police escort waiting for you and it got a moment seven minutes because all the streets were clean so somebody said to me oh that's what I so I said to somebody else you know what this you know what posic defines this Mecca that all the people will see that God's name is on you then they'll have respect so I just want to end with this story I know I said this seven times already but I just got to tell you this story now Dr Silverman please forgive me if I said this over in on Dish above but now you'll see what it means when goyum see that Jews are special okay I'm not gonna say whose phone that is because uh right they're not from Molly Ephraim but anyway listen to this and with this one close this incident happened January 2nd 2020 what's so important about January 2nd 2020 because anybody remember what happened January 1st 2020 that was to see my shots in giant Stadium right in MetLife Stadium 95 000 people at the cmashas so I have a friend who's a principal a famous mechanical name is Benjamin Ginsburg used to be in Minnesota now he lives outside of Lakewood he told me this what happened the day after the cmashas he was rushing from Jackson where he lives to Burpa because he had to give a speech but he was rushing on the Garden State Parkway and he was speeding weaving getting out of traffic and a cop stopped him he rolls down the window the first words out of the cop was did you study your page today he says excuse me all of a sudden what'd you say he said I was a giant Stadium yesterday don't you guys study a page did you study a page today he looks at his clock he says officer I'm so embarrassed but it's only 10 30 in the morning I didn't get a chance to study the page so he says but if you promise me you'll study the page today I won't give you a summons he said I promise and then listen to what the officer said to him he said yesterday somebody one of my officers said to me he wishes he was Jewish so I said to him why do you wish you were Jewish he said look at this 95 000 people celebrate what are they celebrating they didn't win a lottery they celebrated that they studied a page and they understand it not only that 95 000 people singing and dancing and now one of them is drunk imagine that and then he said this another officer said to me you know something there was a big mistake yesterday they called The Stadium giant Stadium that's not what it was it was a stadium of giants and that's what we could be we could all be Giants if we act as hidden if we act poor sake in the final of Milo and paneer Michelle we become Giants and not only fellow Jews see that with giants but the nations of the world will also see for euromi Mecca like King Charles he know who that Rabbi was he knew what Shabbos was and he respected him and that's what we have to be we have to be a role model to the world the men and the women the men all of us here the women in Tove have been phenomenal over the years LED of course but now it's time to expand let's expand let's give money let's build that building Amit Hashem by the inauguration we'll all come together and celebrate the Venus Center for Claudius Rome thank you for inviting me and thank you for listening and a good yard [Applause]
