“Why do we forget about our own?” Rabbi Shloimy Greenwald at the Bais Rivkah Level Up dinner.

ladies and gentlemen he's become a superstar in Crown Heights he's a talmouth a deep scholar but what's very unique about him is that he's also in philanthropy he's been donating creating building sections of talmouth kite and we would like to welcome tonight to share with us words of Torah because nobody's more deserving reply me Greenwald please give them a warm welcome thank you so they tell a story about sadaka collector they call him in the Yiddish world ashnar and he's snoring around for his moysid and he comes to a very wealthy individual and he tells him I came now to collect for my Yeshiva yeshiva's mirror and uh the person the scavier looks at him and says to him money do you know my sister's husband passed away suddenly and left behind four children to raise by herself this Shannara was surprised and told him I'm really sorry I didn't know the rich man continued and told him do you know that my brother is addicted to gambling and he's deeply indebted with the loan sharks they said that if he doesn't pay by tomorrow they're going to kill him this schnar says I didn't know I'm so sorry and my mother you know my mother is sick she's been in the hospital for many years and her medical bills are huge by now this schnar was so full of Shame I'm sorry I'm sorry to hear this please accept my humble apologies the rich man leans back in his chair and it says my family is in such trouble I don't give them a single nickel you think I'm going to help you this might be a joke by some and some might not be a joke but we're here tonight to make this a reality in this week's Parsha the terror tells us partials the terror tells us about the giving of the Michigan how the abistar told me all the details and the nuances of creating the mishkan and the calim and then comes parishes why the repetition the Torah is so detailed about every single word there's some adapting pages and pages yet when it comes to True details again the instructions and there are many answers to it one of the famous push the answers are that is about maisable impartial was telling him what he expected says okay now it's time to step up to the plate and time to give and make this a reality if you look in the names of pasius seemingly the words are contradictory what's the difference between uh explains in a beautiful secret Prince the rep explains that vayakila is the idea of bringing everybody together but you're bringing everyone together but you don't notice the individual and asifa is something that you're bringing people together but the individual is still noticeable means to count like a minion you have a minion you're counting if you look in the parshav which means to gather and to bring everyone together you don't notice the individual seemingly if you look in the Parsha it speaks about the Monero speaks about the orange speaks about all the details of the individual which means you're counting you notice the individual doesn't speak about so much about the individual speaks about the general so why would purchas be called by Jacob and pecute should be the exact opposite and the rep explains that there are three ways to look at bringing the plot and the cloud together one way is that you have the specifics you have the protein and the proton mean absolutely nothing but when you bring all the pieces together all the puzzles together it makes a clown that ever brings an example in town there's a machlaikis in the gemora if something which is a half a volume if it's ostrominated or not and there's yet when you have the two children together that creates a new Messias and then you have the second way to look at it that you have the protein which are hashiv and you have the Claudine which are also khushive but through all the protim coming together makes a new Matthias a new clallim and it gives a special hashibis to the column there's a third way to look at when you have the pratim of the mishkan and you have the column of the Michigan what does it create and the web explains that there's a third way to look at it that the club him really the protein mean nothing without the clothing but when you have the column brought them come together and make my friends is what we're all here tonight mentioned before the idea of supporting your daughter's school this is not the board school this is not the teacher's school this is not the principal school this is our message and as says so beautifully and ethically that when we support our children when we show our children what what do we have a cooking but my reserves faith when we talk around what did you learn today what did your teacher speak to you about today and you show your kids that means the utmost and you're involved there's a fundraiser going on there's a dinner going on and you tell your kids mommy and daddy have to leave tonight because we're going to your school's dinner this is the utmost respect that your kids can have for their mice it and that's the idea of the vayaka Olympic on one hand you're bringing everyone together you don't see the individual but the only way that the protein the only way that we every single person here in this room could be bishlamus is when we're all together and that's the idea of ayakil first we have to be together we have to be we have to be unite together and then afterwards then we can get involved with the pikudi we can get involved with the individual let's give him a round of applause the word no is not in his dictionary maishi approached to me a few about a year ago when he came up with this idea of expanding 100 million dollar my Sid and he tells me slimy I want you and your wife merrillette to get involved we're building a new Seminary and your grandmother zeldon Ms Allah taught years and years in the Seminary and I want you to get involved and dedicate something so I said let me get back to you I thought about it back and forth spoke to my rabbit sin if this is the right thing to do does want something doesn't want something and it brought me back memories of when I was a bucker eating in her house the first story I can remember is how much she supported Bass rifco my grandmother was taught with for many years in Moroccan agarowitz in based Rifka Seminary and basically Seminary meant the world to her if somebody said a bad word about about she would lose it but strifka was in her blood and there was a time that my grandmother was a known not only in the bavish but also outside of Lubavitch and there was a school in Manhattan that my grandmother was had a connection with the principal the principal was my grandmother's student years ago and she begged and besieged my grandmother to come teach in the school she mastered diktok she mastered Tanakh she was in a phenomenal educator and my grandmother said I'm sorry my moist it is the school was reluctant didn't give up and said that we will offer you double what would be shrifka offers not only that we will offer you as well and that time was a big deal to pay for your medical insurance it was six thousand dollars then my grandmother didn't know what to do and she wrote to the devil and the debit told her as follows listen up did Emma said that when you were teaching in the moisture of the city that they know you have special brachas and from then on my grandmother knew it was her schlich has to stay in basico the rabbit said she could go teach in other meister's as well should you ever leave another story which emphasizes the importance of loyalty and commitment my grandmother once and I remember the story there was the I don't know if it was here or was maybe on Crown Street the dining room was slippery and she slipped and she came to the doctor and she was in a lot of pain and the doctor told her you know you should really sue the school so she turns to the doctor I should sue the school does your right hand hurt the left hand this is my myself to even think of such words my Baba who was in addition to a mechaneka she was wanted to pursue her education and she wrote to the rabbi she told that she wants to go to college and the rabbit told her what is college going to help you and your hinook she wanted to become a lawyer then so she told them okay can I go and take psychology so the rabbit says psychology that will help you so as I said before the idea of pasius talk is cheap so ramesha you asked me before you asked me a year ago to come if I can come my wife and I can come and help them I said so I want to give you the good Surah we have two commitments now to them Isis number one is I'm gonna ask the backs the staff in the back the police put in the beginning now the commitment to build the Seminary to make a wing in honor of our Bubba Zelda Allah nemes in honor of her we are going to give now 360 thousand dollars to be Swift and her honor and I hope that all the Grace of connectors people don't worry whatever the talking about Signature Bank and Silicon Valley the amisture is going to have a plan he's going to figure it out but it's a test tonight are you going to step up to the plate for basic or not so I'm gonna now bring another offer Maisha asked me she might she Vincent by him five dollars fifty dollars 500 500 million it's all the same as hacker from numbers numbers mean nothing to him so I said Maisha Misha asked me for half a million dollars half a million dollars a lot of money so I said make sure we're gonna do it like this 360 000 is a guarantee you have tonight if you could put it up on the board on the next hundred and forty thousand dollars and we're gonna make a a little a little matching game over here in the next two hours my wife and I will be matching a hundred and forty thousand dollars dollar for dollar for those who give and we will match their money up to 140 000 and admits Hashem you'll have the complete five hundred thousand dollar commitment and again I want to encourage each and every one of you many of you came tonight things let's be honest things are not looking Rosy things are talking looking very very down and you could say that where's the market going where's the real estate market going where's the where's the financial Market going where's the the stock market going this is all Aid is happening from them I eat is higher than them so I want to encourage each and every one of you to give what you can and Las Rebecca says that the Amish says one thing test me on the idea of sadak and you'll see that I will repay you okay tonight [Applause]
