[Music]
okay thank you our rabbi for the psalm
alaikum I'll be honest with you I've
been to a few places to speak random
synagogues this place is very warm
I walked in here I felt that home you
guys should be very proud of yourself
into the shore and applause this place
intaglio after I spoke to the rabbi both
Hashem you both came from the same
places I grew up in Los Angeles a
beautiful Los Angeles I know what
anybody's doing in New York
honestly Los Angeles is beautiful warm
weather everything just life is just
calmer there I then I grew up in New
Jersey then I moved to Brooklyn and you
don't want to know yeah okay every day
is uh is a battle with the parking
something you're not used to when it
come from Jersey there's a lot of
pressure but we'll also sure we know we
learned to live at the pressure and we
grow you grow from the pressure you
utilize time or I start early usually
the time or I start appreciating a
parking spot a lot more and then the
biggest thing I learned is you just know
this is not part of the speech but the
biggest part I learned from driving in
Brooklyn is the banana haha which means
the meats about the commandments between
men and men men and woman why because
luckily reza kent said that the soup
tells us very often ethic omocha person
shall love his fellow Jew look he loves
himself there's a lot of interpretations
what that means but he letters a Ken
said what it means is whatever you don't
like when someone does to you you don't
do to other people that's the rule
whatever a person doesn't appreciate
what someone does that to him even the
smallest thing one thing I'm asking from
you don't do the same to your friend I
learned that big time when it comes to
Brooklyn driving you know why you're
about to get a parking spot okay now I'm
a very bad Parker takes me a long time I
have a big car takes me one time to park
this sneaky guy Bo Hashem cones over
that's a parking spot right away that's
frustrating true or not true
we don't like if someone does that to us
Oh Hashemi sure - selfless idea to other
people or double parking Shilpa parking
there's so many lessons a person can
learn just from driving how to work
their work and is amido - when it comes
how we treat other people no connection
to the speech okay so about this show
was very nice very warm welcome thank
you so much for having me it's my honor
to be here every minute here wherever
arrange the speech you should just know
it's not a small thing when 10 Jews get
together of course how much more so a
lot more than 10 Jews get together
Hashem has so much nugget he gets so
much pleasure when Jews get together to
do what to party so Harlem watch a movie
to do something else know what are we
getting together for Tamika desh sham
sham I'm to praise the the Torah the
words of a son to be proud the fact that
we Jews especially in our generation
where society is pulling us in so many
different directions and we get together
on a random night you know much of a key
decision that is you know much that
means that shouldn't every second over
here and for the person that arranges
this shoe is there any shmatte there was
a name lien in schmatta a male Luba
that's iron it's like I have no doubt
that thing just brought us getting
together the neshamah the souls are
ready going up and up and up in sham I'm
when I'm out I'm in where is my sniffer
can disperse the safer okay uh but I I'm
gonna start off with something that I
didn't plan is starting off it always
happens in the speeches so just the way
it is you never say really where you
prepare that's why I'm sick of a parry
that's a truth because there's so much
to my parents are being you prepare
nothing that's really what happens
because Torah is so beautiful there's so
much information in the Torah there's so
much beauty there's so much richness is
so much gold is so much fun and awesome
joy everywhere at the Torah I can stand
here for hours and hours and hours it's
not enough so I don't know what to
prepare you prepare topic but everything
is true everything is beautiful what do
you say there's just so much to say but
I'll try BCIT this Maya miss a
traditional Ibis Hotel Beaman together
hopefully their words all will say we'll
make it if it's on me
there's at the ship I'm here only to
change myself by the way that's the role
public speak
so you got to practice what you preach
although I still don't practice what I
preach
but at least I preach it you guys ever
heard that line before before practice
the first of the preacher so this whole
speech I'm here to change myself and
talk to myself yesterday I had the great
honor of being with a caver of the
lubavitcher rebbe right here in Queens
sometimes again in the mood of just
going to the bhava Chavez cave you know
it's right here you have to grab the
moment grand opportunity I drove there
and I dive and and I pray that was so
beautiful it was so much talk it was so
sweet just being there with the team in
my hand and a vinegar prank as a meaning
to tell him although I read it so many
times in my life that Chapel tell him in
the Vida Mela King David and tell him he
said in the pursuit mia
ich Chaka Fattah him who is the person
that wants life well via meme Lovato he
wants to see his days he wants to have
good in his days and it's all the
shakaama da person should watch her how
he speaks from one another a person
should not do sins and do good that's
the regular interpretation of the verse
of the view the meta but as I was
praying their battle above each other
but I got this new thought and I want to
share with you a new thought and it
could be to all of you to most of you
it's obvious but to me it was new and it
was so refreshing when that funk into my
head Mia Ishika FETs claim who is the
person that loves life you know a lot of
people say oh I love life live life live
life you know you go around the
billboards all the stories lived life
everything is about live life but who's
a person that really loves life Mia
Ishika FETs ke o EV via meme a person
that loves his days what does he mean he
loves his days a person that knows how
to utilize every day to its fullest not
a person that says tomorrow I'll do this
tomorrow I'll be a better person
tomorrow I'll act nicer to my wife
tomorrow we're not gonna get into fights
tomorrow I'm gonna agonize it to my
friend tomorrow I won't Gina business
tomorrow I'm gonna do meets vote
tomorrow I'm gonna potentially know as a
person that knows that I live the moment
that day that he's in right now so who
is a person that loves life me Aisha
covets Khayyam you know who it is
or ever you mean a person that knows
that I appreciate
actual day every day the dishum gives
them then what it's gonna happen to him
the verse goes on leave all 12 then he
will see good why cuz when a person
utilizes every moment he has in life
every day every hour if he utilizes it
the good things of going meats vote and
tow aleck over here you utilize it to
give naka talk - em to give satisfactory
to certain pleasure tension leave what
of those people are going to see a lot
of good visitation agreed or not agreed
wash them not fiducia i got yesterday
film and the bhava travis gave her okay
Robert Tang we know / all he had a dream
his dream was you know there was gonna
be a major major famine king power and
Egypt King Pharaoh as I say you had a
dream in Egypt that he's gonna have a
major larva major famine see he says
listen
Oh shame I got us I got a sign from
heaven that this tragedy is gonna happen
let's start preparing now let's start
saving up as much as wheat kernels or
whatever as much food as possible
that the Torah tells us the pole was
looking for not just any administrator
or any CEO he was looking for a dam for
a person I was hahaha Vanna von who was
smart ven Ivana von literally what it
means is a person that Noah's had a look
into things he knows and analyzed facts
he knows that a look into fact that
deeper understanding he knows that a
look ahead of situations so king pero
says I mean a person that's not only
just gonna organize the factories and
the storage that I have I need a person
that's a ha ha and enough one why do you
need such a talented extra-extra genius
of a person for something that you don't
need such a genius you just need a good
administrator that knows how to run
things well that's very organized
that's smart that knows that a safe time
why does he need such an extra genius of
a person so tell us the Honam the Mercer
Starbucks as an asset for the grab
anusha line he says let's be realistic
his job was you suffered Sadiq his job
was that although right now he has so
much wheat in front of his face
there was chef ax there was abundance it
was so much good his job was although
there's good and funny right now but
later on there's not gonna be any good
this could be a famines could be enough
so his job was to save as much food as
he could for the years where there's not
gonna be any food sounds easy but at the
moment when a person has so much good in
front of him but chef I yes so much of
it it's very hard to think about in 7
years from now oh I got a save I got a
save for 7 years from now it's very hard
to think like that you save here you set
a little bit there a little bit there
but he needed a genius of a person a
person that knows that look ahead of
time Ezra haha I know a person who knows
how to see the know loud they know they
see the outcome of the situation see
neither yourself it's a dick because
near the person that although you has so
much good in front of him and so much
food he knows how to save it and grab it
for later the Torah tells us every
single Jew by the way has in each sorts
of you suffered Sadiq he has a part of
him in his soul he has of yourself at
Sadiq one of the messages that you
suffered said he gave us was this
message Jews have it in them to think
ahead of time to always put in their
minds what's gonna be about the day
after tomorrow which means a person in
this lifetime
has so much opportunities to grab so
much toha to learn every 1 min of
learning Torah the Talmud is a big
Mitzvah so much good Commandments to do
to light the candles every end of
Shabbat if I pressed to make a blessing
before it drinks a cup of water for a
person to make a blessing when he goes
outside the bath and there's so much
means what - watch your mouth to say a
good word to a friend to put on tefillin
there's so much so much Commandments in
Torah and opportunities a prison can
grab but if he doesn't grab it while
he's alive and healthy bookish Evan
manifests in China then after 120 and
Olam haba
that's it whatever you came with to the
next world that's what a person was with
call it away a bed of Shabbat or helpers
about English whoever cooks on Friday
for Shabbat will have something to eat
on Shabbat because we know it's about
the person
can cook so if a present didn't cook
before he has nothing to eat in Shabbat
so too says the Kamala Kornet Oh a fan
of Shabbat whoever works in this world
which means he grabs and he grabs
another Mitzvah another paternity
another good word another moment of Toma
he runs and he grabs it and he utilizes
his time you hugged Shabbat that's the
person that's gonna have something to
live with in the next world and that's
in every single one of us myself and
every single one of us just like
yourself at Sadiq had this of a genius
of a person then knew although you had
so much good in front of him he didn't
mrs. edit he didn't like make-believe oh
it's gonna last forever who cares about
it no he saved every single kernel
he saved wheat and he thought about the
day after tomorrow next seven years
afterwards was gonna be a famine so to
every single one of us let's utilize the
opportunity that we have there were
alive in health you think you're shem
and utilized it for good things like
right now and do the meats fault in the
torah and try to grab as much as you
could you know i read an interesting
article very random article could be
true could be it's not sure whatever it
is the messages for sure true there was
this lady in thailand very very poor
lady very poor lady she suffered so much
broken teeth she couldn't of course you
can't afford a dentist oh I have a crazy
store but the dentist happened to me a
few months ago I ran to tell you
afterwards socha of course you could
afford the dentist she had no money she
went begging she was in the train
station for months and months and asking
for money what happened was this lady
this year she wasn't a touch she had a
son she wasn't a touch with her son for
over 20 years
of course he removed that Italian he
moved to England Great Britain he moved
to England meanwhile this sod aho became
such a wealthy guy he did good at
business he had a nice apartment in
England you know he had his good cup of
coffee every morning much better than in
dentists he had a nice car everything
was going well for for some reason the
son decided not to checker and his
mother after 20 years who knows what hit
him he sends a postcard to his mother
okay sent to the address he hopes that
she still lives in the same place she
gets it and then it start being a touch
and then soon after she moves to England
and then she goes back to her son
there's so much money so this lady went
for me poor
person that went through so much
suffering begging for people for money
to a wealthy lady now think about this
when I read this article I analyzed it I
said you know there's a big message to
life that spoke to me when I read this
article what's the message
the message is you know a person myself
always searching to be happy what's
gonna make me happy what's gonna give me
a happiness this is this Avenue to be
give me happiness this path is gonna
give me happiness
this advice maybe if I'll do this I'll
be happier maybe I shall make more money
I'll be happier maybe if I get a 2019
BMW I'll make me happier maybe if I'll
live in a different place I'll be
happier there's always ways to think
that's gonna make me happy that's gonna
make me happy but meanwhile meanwhile we
have a very very wealthy bank account
waiting for us
what's that wealthy bank account Hashem
the fact us Jews are able to talk to em
to talk to God the fact that we can
learn Torah the fact that we can do His
commandments should give us so much joy
should give us so much happiness that is
the best thing in the world
us Jews are the happiest people in the
world because the most wealth so why beg
for other places why think if I go there
if I have more money if I have more
physical desires if I'll do this I'll be
happier no no no let's not think like
the that's the way that going
think we have a whole different world we
have a whole different system
all-digital bank account us Jews the
sons of Shem daughters of a Shem we have
a lot of wealth what's that wealth the
fact that we can talk to Shem the fact
that we can listen to Torah the
connection the connection that we ever
the Shem is so beautiful you know a few
months ago I teach in this beautiful
organization called Kazakh beautiful
organization
unfortunately in Queens we know of over
10,000 children in public school the we
know of Jewish kids in public school so
they have this after-school program
that's beautiful and you sit down and
you learn with the boys girls on with
the girls boys alone with the boys there
was one boy that told me you know I am
so not happy with my life I'm so
depressed I don't feel like there's
anything that my life I'm not good at
sports he told me
he doesn't have money to go shopping he
doesn't have a car that some of his
friends have and as parents are not
doing so good with each other people
make you fun of him and I told him you
know you mentioned so many things that
are bad I agree that's hard it's
definitely hard but there's one
beautiful thing that nobody can ever
take it away from you and that's
something the some people can live their
whole lives not utilizing it then it's a
gold it's beauty
what is that the connection to God the
connection teshon the fact that we can
pray that Shem and ask him and speak to
him that is the most beautiful thing
that gives a person happiness that
nobody can ever take it away in a manner
where he is in the world they could
speak to God you know we just last week
okay
again nothing I prepared okay last
remind me through the paper last week we
had Yamaha in Israel the day of the
Holocaust every year it's mind-boggling
but every year there's new information
every year there's so much to learn so
much so much to learn from the Jews that
went through the Holocaust there was one
person that passed away around two weeks
ago big ramp at the Calavera bow carve
Rebbe he was a Holocaust survivor he
survived the Holocaust and he billed
himself afterwards in Israel he went
through a lot of pain he said there was
one night that the Nazis amatis amant
visa come told them you see all the
animals waste they put on the wagon
you made him put in a wagon and he said
your job is to take this wagon to a
certain place far away and when I
telling you how to get there you break
your head you don't come back boom so of
course he doesn't have a choice he says
he went on his journey and he's walking
at night oh you don't even think about
the pain okay let's not think about the
pain but he's walking and walking and
walking it got dark he doesn't know
where he's going no hope and then he
trips everything falls he starts crying
he sits in the floor he's like oh god
there's borrow who I lost my family I
lost my fan of my house I lost my
friends I lost my shoe I lost my
clothing might fili my Salim I have
nothing left and he cried and he cried
and he said as he was crying arose in
him and his
in his soul something woke up they told
them Calavera become an actor Mendel's
name was Menachem Mendel you don't
understand
you have me Hashem everything was
stripped away for you there's one thing
you could not take away from the Jews
what's that one thing abot I the fact
that we are connected teshon the
togetherness that we have a Zalman if as
a chosen nation it's something that
we're gonna carry with us for
generations and generations and
something that a person can never ever
take away from any Jew he actually said
so somebody asked them about the Yad
Vashem you know whenever the museum in
Israel about the Holocaust which is very
important very important but he said my
lesson from the Holocaust is not to have
a Museum of objects my lesson the
Holocaust is to have a living museum
what does living museum means like rabba
bell skis a whole nother focaccia Steve
our book that once said they asked him
why is that they're religious Jews and
yo ma chuan in Israel you know in Israel
when I grew up also for Fears in Israel
I remembered the day of Holocaust
there's a car alarm like a very very
strong alarming everybody SS stand still
daddy a car you have to stand still
there are some Yeshivat where they learn
Torah that don't do that they keep on
going then everybody does at the keep on
going so one time a person went to the
ribowsky and she asked him she says why
is it that the learning people don't
stand for the Amish wha why is that they
don't show respect for the six million
Jews that passed away he told her a
beautiful line he says we live for what
they die for we live not only once a
year for one moment for what they die
for we live our whole lives for what
they passed away for what did they pass
away for for the fact that they're Jews
from the fact that they keep Torah means
fought if an infected Jews are present
God in the world that's why they passed
away that's what the Nazis imagined
wanted to kill them so we as religious
Jews as Jew that do meets vote I want to
seek good and want to get closer touch
em we are the biggest remembrance of the
Holocaust survivors
you think we're remembering them a lot
more than the Holocaust in Israel what a
beautiful message to understand the
responsibility then the standing what
we're carrying on our shoulders every
time we learned Torah
every time we do me talked we're doing
so much good not only for ourselves and
for our generation but us listening to a
Shem but us getting together do meets
what like this we're taking care of the
next generation we're passing on the the
torch to the next generation were they
gonna pass on torch to the next
generation
I also heard on the radio last week no
connection to the speech I heard already
on the last week of a son that his
father survived the Holocaust he told
them says father told them one story he
was a very good musician this father so
the Nazis Omashu mom made him play
guitar piano he's a very very talented
guy so be used to make parties that
night these evil people and they will
make him come play the music now after
the Jew played such a good music you
know you got to give him something back
said we'll give you a supper but of
course like the Nazis a mastermind they
can't see a Jew enjoy himself so what do
they do I'm just giving you an example
to understand the situation that
happened there they put the food in the
garbage can they tied his hands and they
made him eat it from the garbage can
like a can and I have the other elephant
a lot that's the iminium eat from the
garbage says son asked of dad I feel bad
asking this I have God's asking us I
have a question what's it easier to just
pass away why let the Germans have this
pleasure of torturing you that's what
they like doing they like to watch him
torturing Jews isn't it better you're
gonna beat them better if you just pass
the white just let them kill you
she says no my son you don't understand
the Germans what did they want to do you
know he says that the leader your master
moretta in his book straight up nobody
should read this book but he says in his
book straight up his method was that
there always has to be superior people
and smaller people many people that you
have to put down human beings in that
equal that's what the leader of Nazi
Germany Maximus said there always has to
be people that are better than everybody
else and the people that are small and
that is good shame them put them down
that's what Hitler you maximum held and
he wrote in his book listen to this
powerful man
which he were in his book as long as
Jews exist my message will never get
across
why because Jews follow the Torah and
the Torah tells them every man is equal
the Torah tells them every man has a
chance to get close to God no matter
what he did his whole life no matter
what time in his lifetime how old he is
how young is who his parents are how
much money has no matter what every man
is equal if he picks himself up utilizes
his time believes themselves and goes
forward with it he could get close to
God he can accomplish so much every man
is equal and as long as Jews exist my
message or never got across not every
man is equal kill the Jews that's what
Hitler did he mushroom ovz ho so his
father told them say if I were to kill
myself I want to give them the win in
their hands
mission accomplished no we wanted to
live and we told our friends by the but
the camps over there we told each other
one day because that the Shem we're
gonna get out of here and we're gonna
build a family and we're gonna teach him
about God and about Judaism about how
awesome is to be a Jew and we're gonna
pass on the message we're never gonna
let the Nazis win that's right that's
how we beat the Nazis imagine my music
come to me it was a powerful message
powerful message what we do means so
much to God but not only now for the
future the message that we carry is
massive you know recently in the news
again okay whatever recently in the news
do you guys mind I'm doing this no okay
please be honest recently in the news if
you guys know there was a soldier and
the Bibi Netanyahu brought back you guys

look at this there's nothing like the
Jewish nation we should get up and dance
just in the story look what's going on
over here and Netanyahu is that even
your religious Jew technically right
he's any religious Jew even the non
religious Jew has such importance to a
Jew that's not even alive that's just
has a body for over 30 years if that's a
Jew that's not alive how important he is
he put it as a priority for this Valdez
that there's so much things going on
over there how much more so appetite is
alive Jew every single one of us I'll
hold you is a whole world how hot worry
you know it's so I don't know about you
but for me gives me a look we are so
important that Shemin every single one
of us every Jew you know how come about
yourself that's leadership aha it was
well known that they would go from place
to place that gives you a taught to give
classes in his later years
we're used to seeing him in the pictures
in the videos he had a packed house
wherever you went coming by this coming
boom everybody shows up but in his young
young years even younger than me he will
go there was a few people there one of
his students in Brooklyn was Arab in
Brooklyn told me that he one time went
with them from you shall I'm to L act
the lattice in the south of Israel right
South Ariza yeah it's a TV part of
Israel technically but you went to a lot
to give a class they traveled it was so
hard to travel from do you know the homo
Valley was carsick he had a very hard
time driving but he wanted to learn
every moment he has so many times
students say he learned while I was
drawing while he was in the car and he
threw up but then he kept on learning
and then he threw up and he kept on
learning and he said no I want to learn
but left the cupboard there even one
driving no matter what happens it's a
famous story basically they go to a lot
this student was shocked not even 10
people were there can you imagine
provide yourself chief rabbi visceral
every moment is so precious to him how
dare you bring him all the way to a lot
for not even 10 people a student goes to
his rabbi tis very common idea he says
this is disrespectful it's all what's
but to do such a thing like that
I'm invited turns to student and he says
don't you dare speak like that to Hashem
every Jew is a whole world every Jew was
worth travelling hours and hours and
hours if I'm able to save them and light
up the spark of the neshamah even a
little bit how do you speak like that 10
people 5 people 2 people hundred people
that's not the way we look at things
every Jew it's the whole world ok now
we're gonna see the speech how much time
do I have
huh gender I have honesty okay let say a
little bit now this thing of believing
in ourselves and understanding how
important we're attached them let's be
honest with ourselves it's hard to
believe in it it's hard to believe in it
a person to recognize how important is
that Shem and how we can live every
second with the Shem it's not a easy
step to get to it's a fact
exist it's alive and kicking this thing
but it's not easy to get to that to that
moment to that opportunity for example
let's say I shut off the lights over
here is anything realistically going to
change the room no the chairs of the
same chairs the beams are the same beams
the windows everything is here when I
turn on the light turn off the light
nothing realistically changes the only
in the changes is a seeing what's in
front of us says Dali zelicah does God
exist
Hashem runs the world the Shem is here
right here right now Hashem lives with
every person every Moniz life even
though he's at the lowest of the low
he has an opportunity to grow and pick
himself up a Sherman is there with him
as I was waiting for us to talk to him
he's waiting he's listening he wants us
to talk to him but it's up to a person
to make that choice to see it or not to
see it you have a Munna you're working
in we're not and you faith the clearer
your life will be because the light is
on and you see what's in front of you if
a person chooses not to take that path
rather live the life of the free like
the Americans call it no God do what you
want no boss party president is systole
of that life although it seems fun at
the moment uh-uh it's a very hard life
and nothing changes realistically in
front of the face cut the mid suit
reality is still the same reality but
it's our choice that we turn on the
light and see it or not the more and
when a person has the clear vision and
everything that's going on his life will
be when a person lives with a Shem the
happier we'll be
you know the Rambam rights people are
asking if you take a survey that's a as
limiters of Destler if that's what
brings down machine the Rumba he says
let's see take a survey let's split the
world into three different type of
people the wealthy the middle class and
the poor I feel like a president already
won't the way they said all the time
well a fee middle class and the poor go
to their wealthy people are you happy
they say yes now come on
are you really happy like there's
nothing that bothers you and I start
opening up a little bit yes it bothers
me a lot I want my friend the business
in the city makes a lot more money than
me definitely bothers me give me a
little more yeah you know me and my wife
and I really getting
she wants this and she wants this issue
and I want this and I was she wants to
go to Puerto Rico I'm gonna go to
Mexico's major feds going on children
don't ask he's never home 20 cars 50
girlfriends I know what's going on he's
never home
uh-huh you're not so happy no I'm not
okay let's go to the middle class
are you happy well not yet I am working
to eventually be happy I am working to
save money in my bank so eventually one
day I can have a car I have a house got
a vacation E whatever I want
but I'm always living to have money for
the day after tomorrow we need to always
always one day be happy so right now
usually I don't have so much money so
I'm not so happy average person true or
not true true thank you
next thing poor person poor person are
you happy of course not
of course not the ritual was taken away
the money for me I can't buy whatever I
want I always have to beg people for
money I can't afford insurance I can't
do this I can't do that
says of Dessler a person can come to a
conclusion realistic when a person is
honest with himself average person is
not happy facts an average person that's
like called happiness that's like all
happiness so how could it be Sylvester
God hashem created the world to create a
world of beauty of joy of light of
happiness so how could it be can have a
person ever possessed not happy she says
a beautiful lesson to life and they hit
me like he shook me when I heard this
beautiful lesson
he says Hashem created every person
perfect exactly what he needs the family
that he needs for his mission in life
whatever money he needs for his mission
his life the place that he lives the job
that he has the wife the husband the
kids that he has the parents everything
is exactly what you need for your
mission in life you were made perfect
the life I give you is perfect but what
happens says loved us not a person
chooses to live a life upon his a keen
eye at avakov odd matsui matada mandela
mid-semester Pirkei Avot
three things take a person out of his
world out of the good weather shouldn't
give them what are those three things
kena what a person is jealous of one
another I want something else that my
friend has I don't want this it's not
good enough I want this I want this you
just went to pace off to a hotel
New Jersey how beautiful no next year I
want Mexico I said enough you have a
good car that works no I want the 2019
car 2020 car jealousy I don't have to
see too many examples every person could
apply it himself but when a person is
jealous he never lives his life so it
takes an ED of his good life out of his
all ambition give him a tire via the
desires what does desire mean desire is
a big chapter but what it means is that
a person desire something that he
doesn't need to live that's basically
what it means you come home okay I'm
talking to myself if more fuses ok
whatever I come home no supper is not
ready Oh yo yo he comes a big test you
know you come home from a hard day of
learning hard their work what do you
mean there's no supper ready no no this
supper she takes eggs puts in the fire
boom boom boom here's your supper
oh yeah that's a big test because I
could go down the block and order me a
nice schnitzel sandwich right now I
don't have to go through this but that's
called a desire yeah cool that's called
a desire talking to myself if you go
have that sandwich and you don't just be
quiet and enjoy the fact that you have
eggs and bread you're going after you
this oh you're not gonna be happy like
that
that's not gonna be a happiness that's
kapha wanting something more than you
need then there's a kavod there's a
respect respect something that everybody
has two small something to have small
measure bigger measure everybody has a
certain type of respect that they want
to pursue that they don't deserve and
that they're not getting and if they
don't get it they're unhappy so says of
death soshim created a perfect world
every person has the happiest life ever
exactly what he needs but a person
decides and it takes a choice to step
out of it go out of what God told him I
am better than you I want this stuff a
world that is unhappy then he asked him
why you're not happy - mean - yeah and
mash em ilakaka
a person has to live with God not
outsmart God Hashem knows exactly what
he's doing you know I just learned that
the earth goes around the Sun right we
all know the earth goes anta son do you
know how many miles listen to this do
you know how many miles a year earth
goes around the Sun over on earth a time
exactly it was over a hundred fifty
million miles now let's think about it
every day that goes by that means we're
getting closer and closer
that amount of miles do we feel it as
every minute of the day goes by do we
feel it
no are we realistically moving isn't
happening
yes and I thought to myself for a
beautiful message every day we wake up
in the morning we pay attention we wake
up we say more day Annie you think of
something mistake you for a minute
phonetic amela havoc I am we wash our
hands we say anything at the time we get
dressed put on seat seat with Kissimmee
Zoo so we bless such a moment but hot
before we eat and after we eat we'll
make a distraction wherever we go we
don't we do so many meets lot but we're
looking at like small meets foot yeah
when it comes to court we put the sukar
and love that's a mitzvah when it comes
perimeter Mankulam you
that's a mitzvah young people we fast
that's rabbi that's what I call a
mitzvah no no no no Shem says straight
up it doesn't work like that
mitzvah column it's raha moi person
doesn't know what the small metal it's a
big Mitzvah ever emits it makes a big
difference in the Shem so the message is
that just like we move around the Sun
every second we don't realize it but
eventually we end up so many miles
around the Sun the whole year and every
day that goes by it's more miles so to
every day that goes by person there's so
many myths what although at the moment
he doesn't feel it but after that year
you look back we're in accomplishing
year I did so much meets what so much
TOA i did so many good things I held
myself back from saying bad words I gave
so many compliments to people and it's I
sent abroad before I ate and after eight
although it becomes common to us so we
got used to be got immune to it but
every time we do it we are moving
further and further closer and closer to
God
and that's a major thing there's a big
rabbi in some Israeli l'épée on Zef
consiglio serviço he said over a story
oh I just remembered at the nuts a show
yet sound when I went out of the
bathroom why cuz I want to say it
publicly so I'm gonna sachet it's
alright now okay and every please answer
amen
okay Oh denial and America I'm a shame
because Monica Felicia had barakatuh
deny affair holder some real I thought
now why did I say publicly and there's a
reason the reason why I'm going to say
pop-y so I wanted to say publicly
recently last week there was a story in
Israel a couple in Petach Tikva they had
a daughter Mossad Tabo Hashem very good
the daughter couldn't see well her eyes
were a working mom they weren't from
doctor the doctor from surgeon to
surgeon listen this is what she is she
has to go to a special school when she
goes all day nothing you could do about
it
I said are you sure Tinley not know if
you could do about it but the parents
were champions the parents were strong
people they said no no no no no we know
that ashen gave us the power of prayer
the power of asking a Shem for whatever
we want just have to believe in it and
you have to keep on going keep on going
never give up the mother took upon
herself that fair - three minutes a day
she's gonna go to the corner of the
house nobody's watching and she's gonna
talk tension personal relationship ask
Hashem to hear her daughter think Hashem
although it's awkward the first couple
times try it at home if a person takes
that upon himself it's a life-changing
thing speak tension a few moments a day
it gets awkward but it's a life-changing
thing and when and she did that for a
couple of months that's what she did and
the father took upon himself the Fernan
one when he says the pecan when he leave
the bathroom of a sugared sow he's not
gonna say it anymore as he's drying his
hands or as he's walking in his business
with all the things he's gonna stop and
he's gonna see the book harvest show you
sow slowly with cover now that's he took
upon himself and Bosh Emma but I good
news for the Jews the daughter is better
she can see and the doctors are shocked
happily-ever-after
story that just happened two small
actions talk to God
two three minutes say that show yet I'll
be cover now it looks like two small
things but no major major major things
like the famous Mark Twain once said he
happens to be he's a Jew to us it should
be understood by him Mark Twain said
that big people know how to make small
things into big things what is the big
people mean people that know how to
analyze like Yousef it Siddiq that we
learnt the person knows how to look
deeper into things a person touches tick
thing matters as they are facts as you
know they look deeper into things person
knows how to see the future AHA
Martineau loud big things Nanami
small things into big things small
actions are really big actions small
people which means physical desired
worldly people that don't really think
about the future and only live the
moment and not do what's good a hundred
percent small people make big things
into small things go to that class not
tonight next with big deal what's gonna
happen it ready okay I missed one Union
I'm not gonna put on tefillin okay I'm
not gonna have two candles Friday night
big deal okay so I'm not going to the
Chanukah candles I'm not making one
blessing before they make big things
into small things that doesn't work like
that we are people and we always will be
people they know that every act of
mitzvah means tremendous tension it
makes a big effect in sham I'm in this
world and the next world so how did I
get there okay sir LLL pee on he said
the one time he made a person religious
now he made a person a couple people all
that a couple idea of soldiers religious
you know why because one time he was on
a bus traveling and there were soldiers
on the bus he had to he was an old man
he had to stop by for a bathroom break
he goes to the bathroom and his gabbai
the person next to him student told them
Ashley it's al he's like no no no no no
I'm gonna say it son on the bus and I
want the idea of sorta answer on me she
goes in the bus and he tells them idea
of soldiers coming I'm gonna say about
how you answer I mean he said the baha
was such Cavanaugh such concentration he
meant it so much and then they answered
our men and believe it or not I remember
exact numbers but a couple that became
religious just from one blessing of a
show yourself
I've cover now that this remedy develop
young in the power of one Baha my
grandfather how much return do I have
unbelievable in we said what I said okay
my grandfather he was in all the Israeli
Wars all the wars he told me to me and I
resented religious Jew he told me
unfortunately one day he won't be visit
to Shimon he's an amazing person he told
me an amazing story that happened to his
friends as we all know the Sinai
Peninsula right now is owned by Egypt
but really it was Israel's we took it
over and then we give it back there's
the Egypt plan that's a peace process
that we had so he was there my
grandfather's one of the soldiers that
was in the tanks people over there
fighting against the Egyptians he said
there was one tank that the Egyptians
ambushed them
full of Israeli soldiers they had no
chance and he says he remembers by the
walkie talkies by the radios of the IDF
how these soldiers were screaming for
help they were screaming it's so scary
just imagine how scary it is and then he
had a friend that told them a boat I say
a blessing
like what say a blessing but what say
any blessing that you know think of Shem
someone is really searching the other
tank that was ambushed with Egyptian
says okay I'll set one blessing and
everybody enzyme and he goes below
Hitoshi
and the Kino melech ha-olam i'm not see
left I mean outlets that's what he said
and all the man said are men and believe
it or not
whatever happened over there this
survived the true story Albert a true
story now when you said this story over
that's a clear miracle yeah clear clear
miracle but what some people take it to
say Okuma kind of let's take it
God is with us every second a day let's
utilize it let's live life let's enjoy
ourselves got it how awesome every
second is a miracle some people might
look at it yeah but it didn't happen to
me it happened to him like the famous
story of two Israelis then went to to
the Philippines and one of the friends
as they were going in the forest he
started screaming says all the friend
turns to see why this friend screaming
because he had a huge snake around this
foot extremely dangerous can dine a
split second he said screaming Satsuki
mr. Trent Azam Modi the Gita my sled
sayshe my sled and he said SHINee /
American Hashem Akkad and the snake went
off and he survived
so that's friend that the snake when and
him became religious open miracle his
friend one of the newspapers I writer
from was interviewing him ah he friend
is religious and how are you doing I'm
not religious I'm why you're not
religious I'll have the miracle didn't
happen to me happy to him can you
imagine that answer there's so many
signs in life there's miracles all over
the place there's goodness the Shem is
throwing so much good at all so much but
ha so much heffa but we just have to
open up our eyes we have to utilize the
moment utilize the goodness the joy the
fact that we could talk to a sham we
recently went on vacation and you know
sometimes when you go past the bridge do
you realize how big the ocean is do you
know how deep the ocean
how much water there's a whole world and
then you go to the mountains each
mountain is huge you look at the Sun the
creations are unbelievable the human
body a baby is born there's so much
things going on do you recognize that we
talked to the God that created these
massive think three times a day that you
have to Davin as men and then you could
talk to him it's up to you if you want
to utilize the moment you could talk
them every moment have you dinner just
the thought of the fact that you're
talking to the Creator the world who
created all the oceans and all the
managers that thought you give such
happiness the person we're in a petunia
the fatty we connect him like that look
we're on this exposure shop
okay the stream theorem says you Jews
have to be holy what is worth Kaddish
mean kaduche means separated like I mean
hits are random like a gate around the
person separated from the nations in the
world separated with the actions in a
person when a man marries a woman what
does he tell her hey at makuu - Jet Li
what does he mean are they at Mick who -
Italy you are mine
no of the man in the world that woman is
that man that's it only them together
makuu Deshmukh Edition means singular
which means you are mine your mouhot you
are specialized specifically for this
man so we are I'm a Kadosh what does
Amica douche mean next to the game go
humor also creations they have to praise
a Shem and we have to do only good for
them but we're Amica - we are separated
we're a special we are one we are a lot
more connected to God in the are a
lot more a lot more connected Bonita
Levine we are curvy vertical is boho how
do we know Shem loves us he know she
loves us because the gamma tells us when
the Jew wants to do a novella let's he
has in mind to do a sin and he didn't do
it
Shem doesn't calculate as if he did it
but when a Jew has in mind to do a
mitzvah he has a mind to give charity he
has a mind to go to shul he has a mind
to put in Philly and he has a mind to be
to do more meets fault but it ends up
being it didn't happen something came
and intercepted his whole plan and did
it happen
the math says a Shem takes that thought
do you wanted to do that sincere thought
or some takes it and makes as if you did
it you get a point
another Mitzvah
but they're going it's the other way
since the finish hi the other way what
do you want to do a sin and then it
happen it's as if they did it one thing
when I'm doing beats five didn't happen
uh uh you don't get a for effort
you want a time um doesn't love Islam
Battaglia you know how much a Shem loves
us Hashem wants us to call me once it's
too good he's not here to get us is here
to elevate us he's here to bring us
closer make us happier I gave you so
much just open up your eyes how awesome
it is to be a Jew so how does a person
become happy when you lose with Hashem
when a person lives his life had as a
president become happy when he's himself
when he does his sport portion in life
Ezra sheila's America who's happy a
person who's happy with the part of his
mission that I shouldn't give him every
human being is perfect perfect when it
comes to Shem you can say everything
does is perfect when it comes to human
beings you guys have heard of no son
Sherman he did the arts Commerce or
publication so he put out tons of books
made your editor he said a big line he
said the enemy of success is perfection
to be perfect that's the enemy of
success why because in Judaism we get a
for effort when we try that is an
accomplishment in Judaism the effort is
the accomplishment not the outcome it's
a big difference in the goldshire world
it's the outcome if you win the Olympics
you win if you don't I don't care where
you got your loser if you win the
football thing that's a cold again Super
Bowl if you were in the Super Bowl you
win if you're the other team you lose
you don't get a for effort nobody cares
about you president you can offer
president you lose yeah out of the White
House don't even get close to the White
House no a for effort and Judaism
how beautiful it is you get a for effort
you sincerely try you really mean to do
good you really really do a shun gives
you a call a cavour the Shrek ha
beautiful a for effort
keep on trying like the pursue concealed
him says I'm gonna read one thing for
the paper so Madhavan the medic says
he's McLaren of Accession says AHA vets
claim who has a happy heart who is
unhappy with myth Akshay a sham for
those who know Hebrew then the vocation
is to seek to want says a cop it's a
notice King David is not saying who's
happy
those who do let's on a Shem it's those
who seek the will of God those who seek
the truth will be happy says a huff
exclaim why why is it like that because
when a person is searching for the truth
when a person is constantly once to
better to get closer and closer to him
he is the person that a Shem loves that
Hashem is gonna get close and he will
get close to him but if a person his
whole life of course he gets rewarded
for it and of course it's us who to do
meets fought but if he just does it
because he has to do it not because he
feels it there because you want to get
close to God that's no good of course
this hearts and it's tied to certain
level but someone God wants from us he
wanted to be Mavic Shaya Shem seek
Hashem run after it
search friends open up your eyes I'm
gonna end the petition I'm gonna have
questions
the Rambam says who's the first person
to discover Shem Tov I'm Aveeno who was
the first Jew Baba vino as a major
lesson to learn from Valentino there's a
mahaki tanana banham what and what age
did have um have you knew find God some
say three years old you found God some
see 40 some say 48 now one of the rabbit
said there's no contradiction three or
40 you know why notice in the words of
the Rambam he says that a three years
old of rama v new didn't find god he
didn't find the Shem a Vivino started
searching fresh em he started searching
fresh I'm at the age of three he's akka
what's going on over here why am i
bearing down to these stars I know
what's going schist doesn't make sense
it's gotta be a creator
let's get close to him instead of
searching searching he didn't give up he
grew up in a society where everyone's
telling him no no no I don't worship no
God and don't go there idol worship
don't do that only physical desires any
fought then you search and he searches
so you got that the age of 40 so
although he found God at the age of 40
but because he started searching at the
age of three we already considered that
he found God at the age of three what's
the message the message is when a person
is searching for the truth you're
already serving a shame you're already
are a stunner you're already ours claim
Colson close attention because a person
who searches will get there like one of
the big psychologist says he says I
split the world into two separate
sections those who want to learn from
what's around them and the
who don't want to learn what's around
them those who want to learn what's
around them and face reality will become
better people those who choose not to
learn what trend are never gonna succeed
two separate types of people and
everything goes on to that whether you
succeed or not everything goes in those
two categories are you a person the face
is reality and wants to become betting a
close attention or you're a person that
says I don't want anything let me live
my life the corner the biggest rabbit
says there's no such thing as an atheist
bring any atheist who claims as an
atheist ran onto this room I guarantee
you prove him wrong right away there's
no such thing as being an atheist what's
the biggest proof can't be a person just
says there's no creator what's the
biggest proof if you would tell that
person that claim is an atheist if you
will tell them you know believing in God
stating that God exists
doesn't bring any responsibilities you
don't have to keep Shabbat no meats
fault no to eat whatever you want do
whatever you want no culture whatever it
is guarantee you that all the atheist or
most will say okay okay there's a god it
means common sense I mean if everything
has a creation want you to stop at the
world if everything has a creator
Washington the world have a creator that
means any person knows as a creator but
it's because he wants to do what he
wants he decides to denies it just push
it off push it off I don't want to hear
about it why cuz he wants to do what he
wants but once you take away that
physical desire oh come on everybody
knows the truth of course is it creator
to the world but it's because a person
wants to do a physical desires that's
what stops them from the truth so every
single Jew knows that a sham exists in
his here with us every single day and a
person has to understand that they're
happiest thinking as the life is the
fact that he's the son and daughter of a
Shem and nobody can ever take that away
from us no matter what we did in our
lives the fact that we're alive every
day or if yamim you gotta appreciate
every single day appreciate the light
the happiness every time a child smiles
every time the birds the grass
everything is beautiful think of Shem
and look of death so said if you have a
white piece of paper with one black dot
and you ask a person what do you see
most people tell you the black dot so
that's what's going on you have a whole
white piece of paper what is the first
dimension black dots
why he says a person has to be careful
but human nature is to always look at
the bed our job is to see how much good
ashram gives us which is true this
so much good a lot more than bad which
is if the opener prize is utilize it any
questions no questions everything was
that clear okay
