14 Kislev #2- Kibutz in Israel, Decisions, Rise early on Shabbos morning & study Chasidus

I heard a story the other day Kevin I heard a story what I think is a one-of-a-kind story that Sleek shared at the fabrangin after the chemists maybe some of you heard it but I probably mostly didn't send the books nope so and and he gave me permission I have to call them up he lives there to throw in the Fuller Tanakh area it's called and uh and his name is hayam sholem Segal that's his name must be a 75 year old man and he told over something that he didn't reveal to anybody for 50 60 years that's what he thought said he never he never he said anything only to one Harbor his best friend but he never said this because in a way it was like embarrassing but now we set it and he's happy that people should know about it if this is what happens he was a bucker in 770 part of the khudsa could say was a group of students that come from Heritage thrall every year to learn in 770. this is a 1970-71 that's what we're talking about and he was from the type of bahram type of students that followed the rivers steps every minute they call this you know the mimus means they they serve they they observe they the rabbit went with his right foot not with his left foot he turned to the right and not to the left and things like that okay right wrong that's same size photo yeah right anyway in the in the in the mems maybe maybe that you know maybe the news walked around in the same size clothing as the rubber then fit them okay so that's what we're talking about so that's what we're talking about anyway and and you know he was there to throw the cabbage and it came from the Segal family he's an illustrious family of shalayan and he realized he he's not really learning I mean you know but he's not really learning and he was frustrated and he had yes he wrote a 15-page letter I don't know why 15 pages but he wrote a very long letter to the rebels and they're ever focused on one paragraph and in the paragraph he said like this I decided since uh I'm not really learning I decided that um I sh I want I'm doing this this is something that uh I could do because I just can't get into my learning and the Reba said to him like this if you decided that this is what you want to do pack your bags and go back and go to a kibbutz yeah that's such a sharp answer to a guy though if you decided that you're not learning and you're part of the fruits of the camera to learn pack your bags and he tells him go to a kibbous and then he said not only if you find a from keyboards but a non-religious keyboards I mean could you imagine that that ever should say that that's what he tells tells him tells me that he did have a second it is he was he's either shout me and you saw the letter no but I spoke to the person I I hello a person is telling you that's okay yeah exactly Eli come on anyway listen listen motivation for a guy to make wait no no no listen listen so he walks out of here this is ice Max he turns colors he's walking up and down the hallway in 770 and thinking like what just happened Levitt told me to pack my bags and and leave and go to keep boots because I'm not learning I'm wasting my time sits down and he says you know what a few days he's thinking about it he writes a letter he says now I decided I'm gonna start learning and the Debbie answers him I I don't know if he says I don't believe you no go tears just throw to the key boots so he again listens and he says what and then he realized that the second time he wrote it was you know yeah I made a decision he didn't do it so the third thing started to learn for two weeks he didn't write back a third time a second time he's started to learn and you know leading the land and he was really learning and then he wrote it today but I am learning I I am learning now and then at the answer to askian and that that he didn't go back he pointed out and it's clear they think that you know that if a person decides he wants to do something he can do everything if you decide you want to be a millionaire you will be a millionaire foreign the determination of man the Russian is is is icker is important is primary if you want to do something you will do it I remember before most you lived here when he brought me here probably about 10 years ago and he said you know he really wants to to get into learning he didn't learn enough in your sheep and he wants to really learn because he has a community it's an ash community and he wants to be able to to Kenna London and I just asked him today what she's learning he's learning I'm a Phil Lennon if you really want to do it you will do it but you gotta want you gotta want and that's what the devil is telling him you asked the question that I was telling this this Booker in other words where is your Russian to follow my footsteps and what what true and what right foot left foot if that's your notes and I don't need you here and I'm not interested in that I'm interested in those Landing buckham should learn and know how to learn then go out and be my kind of Eden but so he says yeah I I want to and then I asked him more I said are you still learning I said he's 75 I said how he says look he says I didn't become the best bucket in 770 but I learned I learned a lot more so it took a rabbit you know but the truth is for your for your children for our children for our grandchildren those of us are grandfathers you know do they see us sitting with a safer laying with a safe or sitting with a safer or you know watching a sports game and what's the worst thing to watch a sports game today that's considered the mitzvah going to a ball game is not the end of the world you know when I was in L.A in the Yeshiva I said all the book you know I took I don't want to mention who but I took about people today who are personalities I took them to board games why they weren't they weren't interested in learning they like to watch the the Los Angeles Dodgers who are in La so I found I said good and I took my test and I went there and I yeah and and that was mccarthur and brother Hashem today there you know top human to life so it's not the end of the world of difference like let's say you know will your son see you learning Shabbos morning have this morning is there you come up you get up earlier than your family and you're sitting learning on my mother look at the data Taylor from whatever whatever and you say it out loud you can't see that you you are a living example of what you preach and you send them to yeshivas you pay twenty thousand dollars tuition and a tremendous amount of money and and and it's gonna if if we're not that way so Adam the decision to to to to by us forget the kids it's a big mistake you know sickening yes it's also very important no question about it I have citizenship London foreign and he so he came and brought up I know maybe it was what the crack about krakenberg in the early years so he came into a took him into a classroom and Burger King was the malignant you understand this he was a beard to his public and uh he even sat you know who was on the KGB list and I need to put on four pairs of tilling and he who didn't trust the first pair totally put on because maybe it wasn't cushioned enough she put on two or three others it was a big fanatic and I from remember she was a special type of a closet seven years olds eight years old nine year olds in the Hayden and so they they they tell first of all the first thing like this like this when it came in it was unannounced so the Rebecca said to to them uh not now stay out of the classroom till I'm ready to let you in please wait outside till already that's number one you understand that there's some alignment you know I'm teaching you the Shekinah I'll tell you to no no disturbances nothing okay it comes in and he wants to show that a boy can they know he wants to show what they're producing Rebecca calls over one of the kids and he says says okay say over something to and he doesn't know that America's turning colors like he was one of the best boys in the class what happened afterwards after they leave he says you didn't watch nagovasa this morning and guess what I didn't watch nickel boss in that morning you get a shamay and comes from Washington by your bed they snapped them how did they were the literature how did they watch the dollar Dominus it's Under One Roof we can go from the bed to the to the sink and wash by the bed not just the laboratory I'm saying give us your mind that wants to do it the best way at the bed and Becca says you didn't watch neglebasa today and that's why you didn't know the good mother that actually whatever you forgot it because you today is the fact that you forgot to watch Battle of us who was he a topic was he a pain in the knee was but what I'm saying is that a malamute a malamute is very important they have the right melandom really and unfortunately you know they're the least paid you know I don't want to get into it but you know really we should have pay the best the milab them and the teachers and and because they build our children they build out a book of and our girls the parents all of us are running around making parnasa was so busy I'll be from at the same time if your son and your daughter doesn't see that the latest and the Dublin stand the things it's it's like so that's the recipe it's a very simple recipe even after this you don't need you know conventions and conferences every day on on online and this workshop and that Workshop that's how I grew up you know my father was a hard worker he worked two jobs my father was a very good friend isn't the friend of his father and and and and and and but my father was not a rabbi wasn't a schlier he was a worker and his father would come and ask him to help when he did well and how did he he worked so hard two two jobs he would go muscle Shabbos Shabbos left he worked Sunday she wants to Shabbos through Monday because it's double pay in those days when you work the weekend maybe it's still this way you get double the pay in in the Brooklyn you know warehouses on First Avenue with mice and rats running around because he meant the the machines the sweater machines yeah that's what he did until he made some money and he was able to to go into business yeah right I wanted to do shop this morning and I remember this till now I would get up seven o'clock here it is six o'clock I was saying I was up there and then he tighten up and give this to himself like he's learning about he was sitting in his chair and saying that saying the words that's what I remember no when you have when you have such a memory it's gonna it's gonna impact you it's gonna impact you somehow it's going to impact you so isn't it worth the little sacrifice sleeping in and like one like the gesture system and voice tell us when we were in L.A don't have excuse the expression here there's only one boy here so we can say it don't have a love affair with your pillow you know what I'm saying don't hug your pillow you're hugging your pillow what are you hugging your pillow for are you tired haven't seen a Snappers for your kids get up at shop this morning learn something and let them hear how you learn and when you do this then so many things fall into place is there Perfection no do we need yes 100 but we as parents and grandparents we know and that's why I'm going back to the representative when you're Immaculate when you decide that you want to be a missile so you don't want to learn a black and mother you made a decision so the devil tells them I want you you want to stay in 770. you want to learn to concrete and live your now and if you live your alcohol now you will change and I want you with 770. ask it all at sin that's that's the way he explained it to me and I'm sharing with you and I think it's it's huh yeah no but very good advice we have to implement it get up shop this morning early you can sleep later would say you know he was saying about saying hi sometimes he said you have to save the time sometimes I what's gonna be if you say too much on high I'm gonna get a little chicken and tomorrow morning you don't get you'll deal with it tomorrow but if it's Islamic simple to say look I am not talking about becoming a sugar but talking about everything in other words be in the moment be in the moment it's your diet kiss lifted this is the day that connected me to you and you to me and I remember the first time I heard it we were boys in Ocean Parkway the Babaji Shiva in Brooklyn and at that time with with Bobby just today and what they taught us was so different that was the boys our children are learning today you know we didn't begin learning Exodus till 14 15 years old and even then a little bit here a little bit there no one pushed us to go to fabrangis it was a very different culture the Dallas never ended until it was like 16 or so but a better lips goes out on my spin in in in the barbecue Shiva and and he he made a fabriel again like here he told us about your daughter Kiss Live the first time never heard of that and that's when he told us so he introduced to us uh but it was you know it was it wasn't like that it wasn't like see them they didn't they were like very uh only private it's like you know if you're shy if it's relevant to you you know about it if it's not it's not this whole idea of like sharing and and imposing and then you know pushing and it's you know my my grandkids come home from the Yeshiva ship from the schools the haters it's the rapper's wedding 7-70s I'm saying a little late

to rain it down to you to your bank account you know you're making a daily i instead you're building a Midfield which is yeah [Laughter] you know it's really bad one night family don't forget to subscribe for it should I put it's a Bucky of chassis is he Yeshiva man you know what I'm saying he wasn't the business what business he was learning in 778 literally 18 hours a day that everybody would come in at night and see him resting it would fall asleep he would and turn the lights off in the upstairs dollars the only one there talking about 1961 and 62 and 63 in those years and then wrote him a letter when he got married in 64-60 when he came out to save her that ever wrote him that uh you know I didn't participate in your wedding but I um he gave him the money to print his first his safe with varmello the first volume and did ever wrote him I paid attention to you that you learned some yummy nights like days that you sit and learn they haven't wrote that lotion it's printed and and and garnished over these families growing he's having a child after child part of Hashem and the parnosis you know difficult then comes someone somehow he had what he started to do oil accounts you know in Brooklyn up here you have the buildings and you have you have the boilers you need oil so he was a he became an oil salesman each and I bought two it was it was this London Google that that ever used by the way when any literature came to 770 he sent Egypt to talk to him and learning I mean he told me about someone who was it was one of ours and and you know how many people knew how to learn like he did very few and the Rapids used them really and then it's panosa [Music] goes out and he becomes uh he partnered with time he goes around with a test Club he's a briefcase and he's selling the oil accounts he goes to the buildings and it was he was successful but nevertheless it's still Limited some of them owed him money and then came the 1974 something called the oil embargo you remember you should remember and that time because he had oil accounts overnight and then I gave him a broker to do this tape a millionaire overnight overnight and welcome to him today you know he's a big box of Docker I'm just saying that has the breath of parnosa and becoming a noise overnight that's all it is there overnight you wake up in the morning all of a sudden your stock account is up if I smack the stock and all of a sudden they jumped and you you bought enough shares and you're a millionaire overnight no what they even said that reminds me of Stormy Davis the goods with the Apes the good story this is the playlist I met a year in the Scottish people and borrowed part this is probably about 20 years ago sitting there was Hanukkah sitting there waiting for milk at the start okay turn this to me says you're labavidson right right you know you can't miss out on the barbecue they look like a barbecue you know you should drink the Hat yeah you know your big beard is unkempt you know you're all about you so he says I'd have a story for you I said okay it says in 1957 1957 my parents lived near Cicero I lived already here we were from Europe I wanted to bring him here but I wanted a broken I want to know the right things I went to the supper of and the Bible and the kleisenberger and the laboratory I went to everybody he says I was waiting to go into the river and the door opened up and a Gentleman a Hungarian Geet was coming out of the yehita's room and this is what he heard he heard that Emma say to the youth they don't just keep quiet they say they seconded that's that's their Style you know like that that's their style it's nothing it's not arrogance that's the way they they relate and talk to another we go out so after he says after the Reba gives this guy a bracha the Hungarian he says that the devil that Abel stirs will help him God should help that everyone you said God should help it should be fulfilled right but there's anything outrageous that he said and then this is what and this Eid is telling me that he was waiting to go in and he heard that and then he heard the devil's response the devil's words were like this that abuse their health need air tooth outs God doesn't help God does everything and he walked out and left an oppression and remember just like now it's Davis that helped it that's not what I'm saying that motion yeah of course they were still but the attitude we learned to say this when you learn to see this and I hope you learn to see this and I hope the young life here learn what you said this we learn Hibachi this when you learn deeply not just read but you learn and you understand you'll come to understand that that it's not just the ableston helping you everything is able to there's nothing outside of the English student the saying is a night Movado but not just saying understanding feelings then it's a different level it's a different life it's not it's not a life where when there's a curveball thrown at you and and sometimes it's it's real a real curveball with uh you know the stuttv it hurts you don't get frazzled and you're not invest with sugar or you give up and you say this is God this is in heaven this is see this I don't need it all it's bubbles including when there was a holocaust like you see it you know who can answer that is there an answer no one understands but the question is what do you do about it if you're going to you know rejected new I used to live I was actually at the Marine County California it's north of San Francisco from the 80s near me near it was a city called Petaluma outside of our County the next County called Sonoma County today there's looking all over there so there was a conservative show there and I want to it was an old school so I wanted to find out what's the show all about so I asked some people they said look this show was founded by Russian Gideon that came over in the 20s and originally they wanted to make the kibutsin of Petr Tikvah in other places right that a nurse Israel they wanted to make it there in Petaluma because it's chicken town it's chicken farms and so I said okay and so I went into the social hall and then going to the school I went to the Social Hall and I saw pictures on the wall no Yama kiss all you eaten no yamakis having to see this men and women you know and the social and playing cards a minute so I said where are the kids grandkids great grandkids so he said oh those they're they're lutherans today lutherans not just non-jews Guardian lutherans they became Lutheran going with the religion foreign that's what I was told in the 1980s a whole fool full of Eden with the pictures on the wall garnished living no you know the the the the issues that we have are real they're real issues assimilation is so high this is where it started so what can't you understand no I understand I understand I understand it started there but what do we do about it now what are we gonna do sit and crutch what are we gonna do no we're going to do what the babish is doing that's what we're going to do we're going to make a program we're going to learn we're going to dive and we're going to bring people together of course of course by our own our own is very important but only our own for that you don't need to be a lipology it could be above an assignment in an elite take care of your own although Babaji thinks about another yid because that's what David says can you look about another year what was it worse I come from Brooklyn I know the other side so you bring it so you I live in the other side Jew to a leverage second show and they come in they they're all excited about looking at them and then all of a sudden they're looking at the breast and they awesome what's going on I can't keep up with this this is all new I guess so you teach them to be out of here you teach them you TI please listen I've done it you weren't in the field I wasn't a field okay so I'm talking from the Scion I'm talking from practice practices that when you make a program and you talk to people individually they become the Scottish they become closer that's a beautiful dream beautiful you live in this world or you live where do you live right here you know about it's a communities yeah but this is a community maybe just liberatures no we're not talking about we're not talking about making the Bible you were asking about bringing people into forget about those years our world yes this world here yes okay okay and I'm telling you that it works you're bringing people and you invite them for Shabbos you have a neighbor who's a Russian gear that playlist again Hungarian a Colombian and they don't know and you invite them for Shabbos and they hear about Shoppers and their child starts like shabba's candles what's wrong you don't know nothing's wrong so what's that's what we need to do it doesn't work what do you mean it doesn't work it doesn't work Barry it works it works it was from your mouth to God says I wish it worked it doesn't work people in this community right in here right here we have a lot of Jews that miscuit near me of course nothing happens we want to reach out to these that it's conservative juice I know at least four people yeah in California that became actually schles wow from they were how do they do that Saturday Champions David got close to the rabbi yeah they it was we have a great
