welcome to practical spirituality
urination tour in the old city of
jerusalem overlooking the western wall
which is right behind me here and i just
blocked the light out a little and
someone created a jet or rocket anyway
so i mean let's put it like this love is
is the most important thing in your life
period that's it
love is the most important thing in your
life period
you know like for example after the war
there was you know after world war ii
after the holocaust orphanage is filled
with children who came out you know
either their parents were killed in the
war jews and gentiles meaning it was
just like it's post-world war you know
the orphanage is packed with kids after
the war and and the but they noticed
that that that there were children in
the in the orphanages that were dying
and they couldn't figure out why until
they finally realized that it was the
quieter ones that were dying and while
the loud cry baby ones were we're not
dying and they finally realized that
it's the quieter ones that are not being
held and so well let's do an experiment
why don't we hold the quieter ones and
see what happens and they held the quiet
babies and the quite toddlers and the
quiet little kids and stuff and they
picked him up and held them and and they
got better and they were there's a kid
the orphans stopped dying and and there
was everything was there that shelter
that blankets they had food that water
that clothing they had everything but
but the one thing that was missing from
those quieter ones was was loving
connection loving closeness loving
support and so what they realized at
that point that more important than food
water shelter clothing is love now all
of you people you know you're all you're
all so damaged no offense but every
person's heart breaks a thousand times
by the time they're five years old I
mean I I broke my own kids hearts you
know like I'm a father I broke my kids
heart so many
and I'll never forget a phone call I got
when I was I was here in the old city
I'm running from class to class I was
doing like the heyday of outreach so
you're just like this group that group
this group that group and I'm running
around and grouped a group between two
groups I get a phone call and I noticed
my phone and rings rung several times
from a number that I didn't know and I
finally pick up the phone and it's
someone on the other line says says hi
Reb Yom Tov and I'm like yeah I'm
translating from Hebrew and he's it was
a Pince Carlino closet from my shul and
he says yeah I found your son you know
your six year old standing in front of
the school crying he must have been
there for about an hour and I said yeah
and he's like he said you were supposed
to pick him up and at that point I was
just like doh I forgot there no buses
today and my wife had told me the night
before that I needed to pick him up but
I just came right into Asia in the
morning and just went through the
schedule I had a break to do that it was
during lunch but you know someone needed
to talk to me in that a mishap met him
and he managed to like read my son's
name on his little you know the little
kids where their little bag over there
those cute little it's called a Mew - a
Tesla he read the Tesla and saw my name
on there and our home phone were no one
answered either because my wife would
have come and and so I mean just imagine
being that boy and what kind of thoughts
go through your head watching each boy
get picked up you know and probably
promising a few adults that his father's
coming when they saw him out there and
but you know and even then I had to go
into another class so I asked the guy
I'm like can you keep an eye on him for
another hour and and but this happened
to all of us this happened to all of us
you know ways we don't remember these
things but one thing's for sure that
when it happened your heart broke and
when the heart breaks you can't help but
say the following words I will never
love again
that's when I was on the heartbreaks you
say I will never love again
and it doesn't matter how old you are
and it doesn't matter how intellectual
you are you just will never and when I
say I'll never look on it's not that
I'll never love but I will never love
til there I'll never let someone there
again that depth unavailable and if you
think about your life even all of you in
this room as adults even married people
you'll notice that even your own spouse
never got in to this those spots and
it's not that you wouldn't want them
there it's not that you wouldn't invite
them there in fact you are inviting them
it's just that you don't have a GPS
system good enough to get into those
spots to those closed doors in there and
it's particularly this is particularly
exacerbated in our generation because
well I mean people don't get married so
young anymore which just adds years to
your not being protected you know that
you know that a son-in-law and Yiddish
is called a diem and the word a diem
means in Hebrew it means it means
testimony a duty is testimony so a
son-in-law is called testimony so if
someone sees one of my son in-laws he'll
say I saw your ad 'm I saw your
testimony what's he testimony he's
testimony that I took care of my
daughter that I didn't leave her for the
Wolves that she didn't go I have to like
figure out how to get herself married
off by practicing around she was married
off you know she was 17 years old we got
a phone call saying you know we have
someone for your daughter and we were
like she's not dating she's only 17
goodbye and they're like wait wait wait
wait just give us one minute you got one
minute
[Music]
she was engaged the next day and she
turned 18 before the wedding but she had
a baby you know couple months later and
you know she had a baby I think she was
till 18 when she had her first child but
but you know as protected as possible in
the old days and still in many countries
today girls were married much younger
and they were you know much younger than
that I like my grandmother she wasn't
raised observant she was raised in Los
Angeles my grandmother you know today
she'd be a hundred and something she
passed away many years ago but she was
married off by her parents no questions
asked
secular married up by her parents her
parents took care of her and married her
off to an amazing man my grandfather Sam
at 16 years old and that was normal in a
secular community totally normal so your
heart only has so much room to get put
in the egg slicer and turned and sliced
and turned in slice and turn the slice
so that when you marry you're actually
offering your heart to the person you're
marrying - all the heartbreaks of
childhood and stuff which are many which
are many there's many heartbreaks when
you're a kid you know how many even
Hasidic kids at big Shabbos tables had
to like a non-consenting you know lit
fish and kids from big families learn to
keep their mouths shut at the Shabbos
tail and the parents are like trying to
egg them on to say a devar Tara and
they're like not in front of my older
brothers I learned that lesson when I
was about six you know and ever since
then it's just I'm not gonna have my
heart broken by the people I trusted and
so and so love is our most important
need and it's also the most fragile need
you had a question or a comment right so
we'll talk about that in a minute
so so the we'll talk about healing that
so love being our most important need
it's very interesting if you think about
the human heart because I'll ask you
what's more precious a heart or or a
precious stone that's worth ten thousand
dollars which one the diamond or the
heart
all rights way more precious which one's
more fragile the heart or the stone all
right the stone we keep in a safe
the heart has this insane desire to be
held by somebody forever we're born to
have it held and the first people we
were born into knowing which was our
parents and our siblings were the ones
we thought would hold it best and sadly
so many parents have such pressure you
know this pressure of keeping up with
the Joneses if you're secular or keeping
up with the Schwartz's if you're
observant and and and the kids sense
that the parents concern about how they
come off to others is more important
than the kid themselves like the kid the
parents can't help but be more concerned
about the family name more than the
family and that's heartbreaking for a
child it's heartbreaking
this is why when people call me from
Brooklyn and say that they got a kid
who's you know not in yeshiva anymore
you know not really keeping up with his
side of the Jewish bargain of daily
Jewish life that many of those kids
today are back on the path of Torah
today and I never met the kid I only
worked with the parents I never met the
kid but but got the parents to look
inside and recognize what kind of what
kind of inner intimate love trust was
breached in their over concern for how
they look coming in to shul with or
without their sons it's very painful for
a father to not have a son
sure with him and so but the the sons
start to realize he doesn't care what I
do in shul he cares that I make him look
good in shul by being there with him now
there is a deeper pride to pray with
your sons right the family that prays
together stays together
so on the one hand it's there's a deep
deep pride in praying with your children
in the synagogue together there's
something very beautiful I don't mean
pride like haughty pride I'm talking
about
just like tradition you know like this
is this is getting passed down and here
we are together like the the grandfather
is sitting there the sons are all around
and the boys are you know in there too
and everyone's praying together in and
it's like something's working here but
it's easy it's easy to cross the border
of it's not that part but it's rather
I'm embarrassed if they're not there and
the second the sons sense the
embarrassment of the father their desire
to not be there gets really strong the
second the father has a sense like he so
badly wants his sons on board because of
the embarrassment of the son not being
on board the sons can't help but not be
on board and then when the sons aren't
on board the parents get into this
horrible situation that we learned from
Rebekah
rifka our four mother who said the words
when she realized she was pregnant with
a schizo baby okay because she you know
she had some schizo baby inside dude do
we have a extra cup around that what you
were pointing it who was drinking in
this are you just offering me someone's
cup okay
you have a clean cup yeah amazing I
understand I'll just keep refilling it
both I taught a day-night in a minute
I mean I'm shocked honey boo boo so
rifka has asked it's as far as she's
concerned ask it so baby because she
doesn't know she's got twins that
they're not schizo ones that Sadiq and
ones of Russia ones holy and once you
know evil guy she didn't know that all
she knew is something's really wrong in
there and she said the words llama
zette annoy P which can be translated as
what am i living for because if you see
your kids aren't on the path you can't
help but ask what you're living for
right because like here you are like
toiling away at your Jewish life
sacrificing you know life risk births
you know the the incredible sacrifice of
raising those kids and if they're not on
the path in the end you know okay that's
nice yet babies but we're having babies
because because we're keeping a
tradition going here we are we are you
know as I like to call us we are a
solution to the Earth's problems and and
we are we're here to rectify the planet
you know I
my background is you know I was a I kind
of look like this guy when I got here
and my fellow surfer from the southern
Bay of Los Angeles I was from the
northern Bay and he it's so funny how
connected I feel to you by there and I'm
sure you sense from my accident that
like something doesn't mix between my
look and that I would sound just like
you if we were hanging out so anyway but
I was also like part of environmentalist
programming and like you know protecting
the earth and stuff but I I was also
part of a radical environmentalist group
that's you know no one would ever admit
their part of actively but because it's
already been close to 30 years since
I've done anything active there it was
called earth first which is a radical
environmentalist organization where they
involved in all kinds
of illegal activity and you know they're
they're basically environmental
terrorists who you know yeah I mean I've
I've definitely caused damage in my life
to machinery and stuff that was going to
mess with a vigilant yeah but I was
young and dumb at the time and although
I don't have much regret and they what's
interesting for me every time I visit
Los Angeles is driving up the 405 and
looking up at the hills after Sunset
Boulevard is to see that Jay paul Getty
Museum up there and know that that how
many tractors were destroyed before they
could finally build up there and and it
was way after I'd left LA but but there
was no building up there it costs way
too much to build up there on art on our
trails and they tried many times and
every time they prevented it
but the we were kids there were kids but
no tractor could survive us and in the
but in the end it's the Jay paul Getty
Museum you know which was built you know
I was already in Israel when the Jay
paul Getty Museum was built anyway but
as part of these radical
environmentalists and and when when I
visited LA once I had my kids with me
and thank God eight kids you know it's
pretty impressive you know it's like
ducklings one after the other of the
other and and so when I got there
several of my radical environmentalist
friends were at this party that I came
to and I came in with my wife and then
here come the ducklings and so one of
them says one of them says to me Glazer
like you knew more than all of us about
you know about the companies and the
overpopulation and the you know lack of
them you know lack of resources and you
know having I was a small carbon
footprint and you know like you were the
last person we thought would even get
married from you know just my my my
stand for the environment
and I was that level of like
irresponsible to even have children
that's the kind of millennial I was and
and the anyway so I said to amazing
timing we were sitting on the bluffs on
the Pacific Palisades Bluffs where
everyone smokes up and and just as
they're telling me this just as they're
telling me this
someone had unwrapped a wrapper on
something and went flying by us and all
eight of my kids went chasing after that
wrapper for about two hundred yards and
okay
and it went into the bushes and then
they're gone for a while and then they
came back with the wrapper to show it to
me you know these little kids and and my
friends were like whoa and and I'm like
listen when you're creating more of a
problem for our planet I understand but
when you're creating the solution so you
should have as many kids as possible and
one Hasidic man walked into an old folks
home in Brooklyn and there was a
Holocaust survivor or a secular lady
sitting there and you know in the lobby
and she sees one kid after the other
after the other after they're coming in
twelve kids and she asked this guy how
many and he looks back and he says until
six million and so the so we are we are
the solution for this earth and we
should have as many kids as possible
each one of us which means you have to
get super stable and strong to be able
to do that because you know family
planning for a Jew isn't what fits in a
five-seater okay it's not like yeah
we'll have three kids so we don't have
to drive one of those ridiculous Honda
Odyssey you know like the last thing I
want is a minivan you know they but
literally it almost seems like people
plan their families based on based on a
sedan you know and that's not our values
but cutting all the way back is that
when parents see that their kids aren't
keeping those values the parents can't
help but ask themselves llamas it annoys
me what am i living for
now some parents will just kick shoot
them
in the foot for the rest of the lives
about you know uh that darn kids ruining
my life you know and what an
embarrassment and then of course there's
the ones I get calls also the way they
were the parents are like you know the
kids stuck now because they finally
realized that America with all its
acceptance turned out to be you know
like it looked good it looked like candy
to my children growing up in a non
acceptance home because those homes
aren't good at acceptance when they're
you know when they're more interested in
how they look then how the kids are
doing they're not winning any acceptance
awards so the kid looks at America and
things out America everyone's accept it
you could be a boy you could be a girl
you could be a girl you could be a boy
you can even change it on day to day
yeah you're okay whatever you are you
know and that and that's you know just
one example you know the most extreme
example of like acceptance and but it
doesn't take long to realize that it's
actually mean streets out there because
you know they may look accepting from
like you know of a distance but in the
end it's really your mother and father
are the ones who are gonna remortgage
their house you know refinance their
house or sell it if you had a medical or
legal issue or you know the in the end
they're the ones who love you and
they're losing sleep over here they're
the ones who care and so what happens
the kid wants to come back and then I
get a call Jerusalem saying this kid
wants back and I'm like yeah okay great
he's back and they're like or she's back
and they're like no it's not good for
the rest of the kids like we can't have
this kid poisoning the rest of the kids
at which point I tell him
those kids are already poisoned you
poisoned these kids this was the one kid
who went to get some help maybe find
some safe space in in his life or her
life and so your house is already upside
down your job is to bring the kid back
and show your kids that this home
doesn't have an eject button this home
doesn't eject you this home is where
you're accepted in no matter what but
here's the main point that I want to say
it's when you ask the question llamas
annoys me what am i living for you're
supposed to answer the question
you're supposed to actually answer it
what am i living for we'll till now I've
been living for how we come off for
others but from now on forget others
forget even the kids this is my life you
born alone you die alone your eternity
is being built every single day stop
living for your kids stop living for
your neighbors opinions and your
community's opinions start living for
the soul that God put in you and get
busy with your commandments and it turns
out that our Kabbalistic tradition the
Zohar you know the Kabbalah backs up
this point by telling us what the only
Olam haba you get the only eternity you
get in your life all of you sitting
right here the only thing you're gonna
get when you die will be whatever you
did in this life what is called in
Hebrew mishima the only thing you get in
this life is whatever you did from a
real genuine authentic truthful place if
you did it for ulterior motives if there
was some agenda behind it for example
giving sadaqa to get your name high up
on a plaque or something did I just say
that bad thing to say no no really
because there's two things that no
matter why you do it it's still you
still reap its rewards and it's really
one thing but sadaqa gets added to it
the thing is called hesed i said
anything you do as an act of kindness
even if you did it for all the wrong
reasons it still goes the reason it goes
there's several reasons why it goes but
the main reason it goes is because the
whole substrate of all of creation is
made of press it is made of kindness
because it's called olam aside you by
name god created the whole world out of
it so if you wind up doing something for
somebody let's say there's some dude you
do something for him and you're thinking
to yourself what's your name again you
do something for some guy and you're
thinking I think this guy's got a future
you know I'm gonna I'm gonna help build
that guy
you know who knows when I'll get later
for that you know and and they you know
many all the wrong reasons you you it
counts it counts in this world and
accounts in the necks because you're
you're part of the substrate of creation
which is kindness to others
sadaqa hits the same thing so I give a
bad example of getting a plaque because
if you give sadaqa it does it does the
trick so the anyway but stuff we do lola
Schmo let's say for example Torah study
Torah study like there's certain people
in this room have spent many years
studying Torah yeah anyone in this room
spent many years studying Torah okay
maybe these two guys in the back spent
many years studying time so it turns out
it turns out that all the Torah you
study for the wrong reason stays in this
world so you could like you could like
die after years of study like having
finished the whole Talmud multiple times
and you die and you're expecting like
there's going to be some kind of parade
for you in the next world and you're
like coming out ready to march with the
band and stuff and you get into a giant
Hall so to speak and there's nothing
there there's nothing there and none of
your tour came with you why because
whatever there's all being the best
learner or being the guy learned the
most or you know you had all the wrong
agendas going on during the learning
time one sec but there's really good
news that I'm going to tell you before
you raise your hand cuz maybe you'll
like the good news the good news is that
if you ever realize that you had been
learning for the wrong reasons
and you decide you're gonna learn for
the right reasons it turns out all the
Torah study you ever learned is waiting
in a little storehouse it's like putting
a safe and the combo on the safe to
release it is to have done chuhwa for
the wrong reasons meaning have repented
for learning for the wrong reasons and
then to you have to review it
you have to review all the tour you ever
learn just read through it
you just got to review it so read
through the torah ever learned
and it releases all the tour you've ever
learned and so it's really important
that when someone discovers that they
had been learning for the wrong reasons
to go back and review for the right
reasons yeah children that's very good
for all-trans like that for everybody
that I'll speak about that for me first
let me translate the first part that
that if you do something for the wrong
reasons
you can come to do it for the right
reasons the the ballot ano a great
kabbalists who lives the ballot on who
lived hundreds of years ago who was a
great kabbalists said that um that it
only works though if you do something
for the wrong reasons in order to come
to the right reasons you have to at
least know you're doing it for the wrong
reasons because if you don't realize
that you're then it just stays right so
our kids for example your kids my kids
you're good
we know that it's probably a good idea
like this morning when my son was
getting ready to leave in a rainstorm
you know he was not looking too happy
about going out there today and he's a
little nine-year-old boy and he's gonna
go learn all day you know in Yiddish in
Muharram and and he just was not looking
so happy so so right before he left the
door I said to my wife as if I didn't
even notice he was there I said you know
at the end of this week Friday it's
probably a good idea I take all the kids
to do something fun and you know he'd
believe me he was listening he was
listening of that and then he left the
house turned out he crashed his bike on
the way in and he was back 20 minutes
later looking extra unhappy now if
you're wondering why my bike my son
leaves on his bike in a rainstorm you
know it's because he's my son I also
showed it here in a bike in a rainstorm
anyway the I'm just trying to figure out
how the Pinsk are leaners Rebbe his
Rebbe has figured out that him riding a
bike is the best idea when he's the only
kid I think in the history of like two
hundred years and pins currently never
riding a bike to the hater but I like
this Rebbe anyway so you got to know
you're doing things for the right reason
if it's gonna lead to it and I think our
kids know because they see us fathers
learning and no one's given us a candy
you know we're learning they see there's
a reason to learn that's the right
reason to learn and but they're
accepting the price they're sending
accepting the prizes that we give them
as kids and they will come to the
maturity of study yeah there's partially
lachemann yeah yeah and since you're on
that there's also what's lachemann for
actually me and this gentleman in the
back we're about the same age for what
solution offer us today ten years ago we
might laugh at you understand so meaning
you lachemann by the way just in case i
translated before but I'll say it again
it's doing things for the real true
reason like why you should really do
something as opposed to doing it for
alternative motives so but the thing is
as you mature you start to realize wow
even what I thought was the right
reasons now I'm discovering there's a
whole new level of that and there even
was a part of my ego involved in what I
thought when I thought I had no ego was
actually there was an aspect of my ego I
didn't even know was there that was
involved now I've broken through that
one and now I better go review my Torah
which a good reason that we should keep
reviewing we should review our Torah as
much as possible and keep sending it up
for for that now ladies and gentlemen it
is the crazy thing is that we got five
minutes left and we're here to talk
about love it was just about love today
so our hearts broke many times and the
most precious thing we got is our hearts
you know they've been sliced and diced
and and we've got when we marry and have
children but especially when we marry we
we want to offer them as much of a whole
heart as possible and that's one of the
reasons why why it's so important not to
give your heart to someone until you're
wearing an engine it's for the ladies
till you're wearing an insurance policy
on your ring finger your ring finger you
know when you get the insurance policy
you give the heart right no tickee no
Washee yeah no ring no ring finger no
heart put the ring on give the heart
that's how that's the order of events
that was all changed of course late
six-night 1960s where suddenly there was
no insurance policy because I'm not
gonna go into graphic detail what was
invented at the end of the 1960's but
suddenly you know people were giving up
a lot without a lot of insurance and
since then you know it's not been so
good for it's not being good for women
since then and in the anyway but for us
is we need to give that heart so how do
you give your heart if you're missing
part of it from crazy things that
happened when you were a kid how do you
actually give up your heart to the
person so one thing is the desire to
when things the desire to that to know
that I'm I'm not giving all my heart and
I want to give all my heart yeah the
next thing is to trust because what's
the whole issue of giving it heart is
trust
why did you how did the heart break in
the first place you trusted like my son
trusted me and I didn't show up to pick
him up from school so you trust it and
trust got breached and so therefore we
need to focus less on love and more
untrusting focus less on love and more
on trust and that is to to trust
implicitly
your heart in people's hands now some of
you would say well that sounds dangerous
I'm just gonna trust my heart in
people's hands but here's the thing
you've been going and this is very
important to get this you've been going
with a very young child's immature
version of when it's okay to trust and
not there's a man let's say you're a
female there's a man who's who's
sacrificed half the world population to
put that ring on your finger that's a
lot he also comes home each night
that's something he also he's going out
of his way for you all over the place
that's also something see once your
trust gets breached you wind up with a
child's there's your child's envision of
your relationship and so you make this
poor guy jump through circus hoops and
often making some of those jumps
impossible just so you can have some
weird subversive proof that you're not
really loved and those kind of games are
are you know it means that you're not
really looking with adult eyes you're
still coming from the pain of childhood
and that's what I meant by trust
implicitly just trust fully for men and
women trust fully you know give them all
your trust all your heart all your trust
just give it give it up and I'll tell
you something else in case they do have
a little if there was something not
worth trusting there was something not
so trustworthy there well I'll tell you
one way to expose it don't trust them
why because they can't help
psychologically from saying hey I'm
already doing the time might as well do
the crime I see I don't she doesn't
trust me so why am i why am i doing back
flips and so he stays at work longer and
you know it's like or she you know she's
off to career and you know he doesn't
really trust me anyways I might as well
just go live my individual life and and
so so you you it's not good to not trust
the person when you're trying when deep
down all you want is to be able to trust
the person and I learned many years ago
that Trust is the key to all of
everything and I trust everybody I trust
everybody there's probably several
people in this room who even know the
code on my iPhone this is a random guy
here knows the code on my iPhone you
know have I ever given it to you
personally personally yeah I will
announce it sometimes and but but what
that does is it gives me the ability to
not have to lock my car because who's
the person more likely to get ripped off
the person who's always trying to make
sure no one wrongs him the person who's
always hoarding their possessions and
locking everything that person's
basically radiating ripped me off like
if a guy's checking doors to rip off a
car don't get like a phone call when
they pass my card like something crazy
will happen that will make them forget
about my car they won't notice it and
and I've just learned to trust and I've
also learned to love as a result about
it and it's worth it I've told this many
times but in college when I went to
university UCSB how old are you by the
way 20 you would going to school now are
you Cal oh here we go my mom went to go
so so the so I was at UCSB sorry so I
was at UCSB and and the that's why I was
surfing up by rink on the other day is
yeah I can't help but gravitate up
towards those Point Break
and the anyway every year my roommates I
was over the same roommates all along
we're like best friends for life and my
roommates and I were they would count up
how much was stolen for me that year why
because we have you know these crazy
parties and there's random people coming
in there you know drinking our keg beer
until the kegs run out you're like the
most popular person until your keg runs
out I'll never forget those parties you
know like you know cuz I would have six
kegs was the deal I made with my father
that he if I go to the University that
he has to deliver six kegs not he but he
has to send six kegs of beer the big
kegs six kegs every Thursday night and
and but we wouldn't drink it all
Thursday night our weekend start on
Thursdays but by Friday night oh they
were gone and but I'll never forget it
was like like clockwork every weekend at
Friday night I would be walking with a
group of really drunk people down the
street looking for the next keg party
and just thinking like how I was like a
star literally ten minutes ago
and when the last drop of beer came out
of that keg I was just like another guy
looking for a beer and walking with a
couple dozen guys for the next party any
but at the end of every year they would
do it they would do the math we'd all be
sitting around and they would do the
math how much stuff was stolen from me
and you did a couple hundred bucks at
the end of the heshbon you know like my
wetsuit booties are you know my
surfboard leash or you know or you know
a couple of CDs or my bong or who knows
what they stole and they they but they
took off with stuff and and then and
then when they would finish with it
they'd say okay this year you know you
lost like 400 bucks worth of stuff and
then I would say to him this was became
a ritual year after year I'd say to them
well that's a savings of $400 and
they're like why and I said because if I
could get a subscription for 800 dollars
a year then I get to trust everybody
implicitly it's an implied trust to
every
single human being that I come across
and I don't have to think about my stuff
and it only cost me 800 bucks a year I
would pay it it'd be worth it to live in
a world where you can trust because
there you can love and there you're safe
and I lived my year safe and I don't
know how you guys lived keeping all your
stuff around but I had a great year and
okay I lost some stuff and they should
be blessed whoever stole it should be
blessed and use it well and get their
acts together and you want to know
something my second year university it
was something like three hundred and
fifty bucks and my next year universe
like 275 the next year was like 150 and
next year you're asking why I was there
somebody here as well when you take two
classes a semester because you're
allowed to take one-third of your
classes pass no pass so I would take two
you were let you had to take three so I
would take two that were multiple guess
I know you call it multiple choice but I
called it multiple guests and the and if
you're Jewish
like you can get a C on any multiple
guests exam so and they and then I took
the other class no pass and I passed
many of those anyway because I found out
it was a multiple guests exam and I went
in there and actually took the exam and
pass but the but the anyway eventually
the last year University I don't
remember how much I lost it was I think
a little over a hundred dollars worth of
stuff and it's just like it's just gone
away altogether and and so we got to
love and we got to trust and we got to
trust and we got to love and that's such
a better way to live and you got a you
have to break through your crazy
addiction to making people jump through
hoops to be close to you you are a
hassle to be close to you understand
you're a hassle to be close to you're a
drama queen I'm speaking of the guys too
and in 2020 I think you're allowed to
call the guys Queens as well with all
their tight tight pants and scarves and
stuff
but yeah you're a drama queen and and
you're making everyone over Lea prove
something that as if it's so worth it by
the way and and you know because not
much you gave either most of the time so
so anyway give all your heart and here's
the thing that when you have love you
love to do for people that you love we
love to do it my wife doesn't think
twice about the effort she puts in for
those she loves and that incredible
continental breakfast she gave to the
whole Shiva and my the Rosenfeld's house
next door to me this morning I mean you
should have seen this breakfast it was
like feta cheese --is and sliced
vegetables I was like it almost makes it
worth it to die and and they such a
beautiful breakfast I promise you she
only had pleasure while she cut those
vegetables it was she had pleasure the
whole entire time and watching the meat
it was its own pleasure and and so when
you love you do so when it comes to God
all of us have to realize that all of us
have to realize that we have to be crazy
in love with God and I'll give you a
simple simple recipe to be crazy in love
with God it's just open your eyes to
notice how much he's orchestrating in
your life notice the orchestration just
notice there's some being is there's
some infinite being a little too
interested in you and you're just
basically being stopped by the create of
the universe and you would think God has
something better to do than like arrange
your life but he's arranging anthills
for ants to live on and and anthills for
ant eaters did have kiddush on and and
like he's he's arranging everything all
around you all the time
open your eyes recognize that
everything's being arranged for you
there's some being that's madly in love
with you stalking you at all times and
and is way too involved in details that
you just think he has something better
to do then we weren't about your details
and there he is each time like he works
through the world it works through
people and through things and maybe a
lack of money causes you more prayer and
and and then you have to go meet people
you're gonna have to call somebody
because you got to get a job which means
you're now connecting to people and he
wants us connecting like that and and
it's all being arranged the good and the
bad in quotes are all part of this crazy
tapestry that God's painting and you're
a major character in that in that in
that film and you can't help but love a
being that's that interested in you he
way out does your own parents in his
interest because your parents would
protect you from stuff he won't your
parents will protect you from stuff he
won't because he knows where you're
gonna grow and he knows it on a
millimeter accuracy level so there's
stuff you're going through that you wish
your parents could protect you from they
can't even protect you from it but he's
perfectly orchestrating it to develop
you and develop you and some of that
stuff's hard some that stuff's crazy
scary and so we don't quite understand
why God would have us grow in those ways
and why we have to go through some of
that crazy stuff to grow but he knows
what he's doing he knows what he's doing
he's crazy about you and when you feel
that love then you're like it's my
pleasure just like my wife's pleasure
it's my pleasure to do for him and to
not do stupid stuff that's forbidden to
a Jude for a Jew to do it's my pleasure
not to do that I have pleasure not
eating the hotdog at the ballgame la has
it's you know it's got Jeff's Glatt
Kosher
you know Jeff squat I forget what it's
called exactly Jeff's gourmet another la
prison Jeff's gourmet is on the it's on
the mezzanine level down below or
