I want to talk to the
um many congregants
baliba adherence participants of kabad
houses around the world especially
around our country United States of
America we're living at a time
when
freedom is
valuable we're living at a time when
anti-Semitism is at its
peak
we all of us can do something and must
do
something what can we
do we need to strengthen our
bond to God Almighty to the
T and more importantly we need need to
communicate this and be a living example
for our children and grandchildren
friends and
others in my
travels I come across all kinds of
people from all kinds of
backgrounds and I tell you and share
with you from the depth of my
heart the importance of including the
youth in the Beautiful
tradition that the
kabad
world of old offers to the
young here I am with
my whitish Gray
beard in my
60s and I'm talking
to you to communicate to the young
people now young people want young
leaders young rabbis young
counselors you know they say we're over
the
hill and there's some truth to it but
what they don't see because of their
youth is the value of
experience the story is told of the
mashpia in
the in Russia
in his name was
alter his family name was biner but he
was called their alter the old one
because he was yet a from
third and he lived a long life and he
was appointed as a spiritual Mentor a
counselor of mas in the newly found
yes which was founded in
189 7
and in his old age he was
blind the
students didn't really get much from him
because of his age and his ability to to
see which he didn't
have and the individual who was
responsible for paying
him came to the freed to the previous
rebba who was the man po who was the
dean of the school acting Dean and said
we don't have funds funds are are short
here why are we paying someone who's old
and frail and doesn't and
blind and the Reb said the rashab who
founded the Yeshiva shom be he said just
for just to see him for for the young
students the new students of the Yesa
just to see such an
individual it's worth his salary
experience you cannot buy you either
have it or you don't have it and the
value of sharing experiences with the
youth is beyond
value you can't buy
it but you could do it you could
implement it
so regardless of what some might say
you're old and frail and God forbid
blind you're over the hill you're not
with it you're not cool you're not on
Instagram and
tick ladies and gentlemen my dear my
dear friends men and
women don't allow that to stop you from
sharing with the youth from bringing
them together from sh telling them
stories of the
past how how you grew up who you
saw very very this is very important
very
important and together with this I want
to sing a niggan for you a niggan
that brings this
point
out the Nan is the following
[Music]
be believe
[Music]
who for
[Music]
says he
my soul is thirsty for you God my flesh
shrivels up for you God King David was
exiled in the Judean
mountains and he saw from those
mountains Jerusalem his
home and he sings out to God I'm thirsty
for you I want to go back to Jerusalem
to yush
land of
thirst and
tiredness there's no water here in the
desert then he
says so in Holiness I shall see
you I want I will see you in Holiness
meaning in the temple in the bikash
in to see your strength and your honor
and pride and Glory
the the holy
teaches if
only we'll H we we will have the
yearning and
longing for Redemption for Jerusalem for
messiah when we're
there you know near the water it's dry
I'm
in I have the temple the basa mikdash I
have go have
Redemption says I know that then it's
going to be a struggle the yearning and
longing today in Exile you have more the
strong the yearning and the longing and
I remind myself of this nigan and I
share shared with you in conjunction
with what I said
earlier we the older generation have the
feelings and experiences of the past and
we need to share them and share them
emotionally not just
intellectually you take someone you take
your grandson by the shoulders you put
your arm around them you give them a hug
you sing the in you don't let him
go till you finish the Nan what is he
going to do he's going to say get out I
want to be with you it's all right it
