Hi, it all started in 2017 and Shmuk called me one day and he he said hi we knew each other from Los Angeles when I was a buffer in the yeshiva was one of the balabatim you know and he said I'm living now in bish I remember hearing I said to him she I didn't know I knew you were in Tel Aviv what's bish oh he said bish okay And he said that uh Gandhi wants to he's here and he wants to he said this place is so ripe foridus. I remember that's that's what said he said it's so ripe foridis. So he said would you would you you know be have time be able to help with this? I said yeah but let's let's so I came down in August. I remember it was so hot here that was boiled. I stayed with I forget how long for a week or so whatever I gave me a room took care was wonderful and u said you know meet someone that here you come to a place you know who are you so I went around and I always repeat this specialitz very special Jew was he was such a special Jew and uh I went to him you know and I said you know I'm here we're starting this he said great and mish great you know from where I'm coming from in Brooklyn and you know the whole scene over there Muny and Lakewood and the way I we grew up you know was unfortunately you divisiveness. You know, this one says this, that one says this. I'm have to tell you, but you know, lit fox see them snag them to hold the whole thing. Anyway, so such a ye that I heard he was the the chief editor of the this shot. I thought I would say thank you very much like I had an experience in Shabas. I was in a sh I don't want to say with shu beautiful davenining nice ding. I it was I said it was my yard site of high s because yard said Friday I said 10th yards. I said, "Can I can I say short just nice English, British English?" He said, "No, can't I can't we don't do that here." Okay, no problem. But a mill didn't say that. He said, "Sure." So he says, "And you're going to speak between Shabas." Yeah. So I remember walking for Shal's house. He was that time he was in on the main road over there. I forget what it's called. That building Donna. down. Yeah. And walking up. Oh, it was it was 95 degrees in the afternoon. And I was from I wasn't carrying stand. I didn't want to carry. Meanwhile, as I walking up, I see in the park playing a a a mother, a daughter, which you know, and a little a girl. No one else is out. No one else is out. It's it's 95 degrees outside. And um she says to me, "Oh, you're the the daughter." Said, "Yeah." She says, "You should know I'm here because of Kabad in Cleveland. That's why I'm here. I didn't marry, you know, and we're not keeping Kabad. That's why I'm here today. You should just know." And she told me and the whole story. Okay. Then I make it up. Oh, she had some water. So, would you like some water? I said, "Please, I'd like some water." I crawled up the steps. I made it fin about 70 80 people shoe. He gives a patch on and the the beam whatever he said stand in your places. No one is to leave. No, they all go home to show this. They all go home. They were all going to go home. The RV said and to his greatness and to everyone. No one walked out. The RV said they all stood in their place. He quoted a gamorra says if god forbid you leave you know and then then whatever and the say is a very severe thing if you do that it's bad bad stuff okay and he quotes the you know the babatur would quote the kamar you know or quoted halfway you know I believe it was quoted and he basically was telling everyone you stay here if you know what's good for you and they stayed there. And then he said like this. He said, "When Rabbi Dolphin asked me to say a few words, um, I said to myself the following." He says, and I said, "Yes." And he says, "You're probably wondering why, you know, he's talking to this lit fox, whatever, whatever." He said, "I'll tell you why." He says, "I had three teachers. One was u Rab Aba Berman who was a mirror talmed emir and came to Shanghai and then to my he had a a yeshiva for mitsyani and being one of them you know he was my rashiva in in in garra then I had a rashiva uh for mosha the poor he was a wouldn't visit us at some point or I took a apprenticeship with him and then he says and this is where I almost fell down and had a heart attack he says and then I had a a a rebby for hashkaf he didn't say he didn't say was and the rebi was buil I couldn't believe it was no better and he's everything but you know he's not And he said, "Let me tell you something, my dear congre that when when um when I was by Ra Bman, he said we could learn Habashir after 9:30, not in the middle Sedar, we can go and learn and I learned with him for 4 years Tanya and every and would come to Muny to give a Shir 8:00 in the in the evening. The she would finish 9 9:30. Then he would stay till 10:00 and start another Shia for us because because we weren't allowed to to to have go to the shir at 8 8:39. So he stayed from 10 to 12 and he and I attended 4 years and he's my teacher. So he said, "I was waiting for the day when would ask me to speak in my shoe and he would and he would say to me that he's a he's a Tommy he's a student there Khan. I'm going to roll out the red carpet for him." Wow. That's tell you exactly. And that was my introduction to to Ramad and this is this is now 2017 I think it was and and and yeah yeah and now it's it's so many and we we have the we finished the four of I can't say we learned every line the but we we went slow it took us about two years four and we have now the last section that Sir Hatadic wants me to teach which is really very cabalistic and I'm going to teach it and we'll we'll go through it as much as we understand we understand but this goes to Schmool's point and this goes to our point here to what you were saying before Hillow also about the friend and the illnesses and the all the issues you learn to see this and I remember Hillary you said to me last year a few years ago you said to me something that stuck on my mind you said you thanked me he said because understanding You know there's this learning but understanding it better when a teacher teaches you he says he said it's changed his life that's what he said in in he didn't specify how what remember you saying that to me or not I remember I remember you saying that to me when you learn and you learn you see this learning cursory learning that that it's learning it's what I call couch potato learning okay you lay on the couch you take a book you read and you fall asleep and you get up go It's better than wasting time. And I always tell people encouraging them, you know, people I know to come join the sh have an intelligent group of people about Hashem. Everyone here tell is educated, educated, smart, professional, you know, I'm saying it's it's a solid group. So it's mash said to get more people to to to to learn and even the sh you know so for Americans it's like a little difficult because our time is in the morning it's a little difficult because they're milavic there were more people that would want to join you know who's not on we should have thought of putting on a velvet we have a doctor in Cologne Germany who's been joining us when he's able to when he's able to right so you know motion uh motion Oh, motion Florida, right? Yeah. Well, yeah, but when he does that, he doesn't go to he doesn't go to whatever. 245. Yeah. Yeah. But listen, it's good. He needs that, you know. So, the point is, you know, I'm so happy to see everyone, especially David Null, who I haven't seen in a long time. David and I I David and I we knew each other in Los Angeles. I I don't know. Wow. Yeah. We we I but was that in in in in the in the beginning of the 80s or that was in in the in the 1992 to96 when I came as I was a married man. No yes you were a married man you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was later anyway. So it's it's wonderful to see everybody. As far as health, listen, you know, with with health, we all healthists and we have we have a doctor here, you know, health health, health health. But a menas had this this line. Listen to this line for the smart man. He said, "If a person loses their money, they had money. If they lose their money, they're still a mench. You don't you don't lose your status as a mench. Your money is important, but God forbid if you lose your money. Now trillions of dollars have been lost because of mamish mish overnight. Trillions of dollars are lost. God, Hashem will help that'll come back. But right now, right, you're still a mech. If that's number one if a person loses their health compromised said there's still a mench means half you're not a full mench because your health is impacted but you're a half of mench but if you lose your moot in English your mood is always remember that I always think about that when I you know everyone else has health issues you're if you have your drive you're a mench and you can overcome even with illnesses you know in do you remember Zolman Rosen Bloom in the wheelchair you know he passed away you yeah we we knew someone in Los Angeles named Zolomon Rosen you remember him he was in a wheelchair this guy he was so such an incredible person dynamic of life dynamic creative and he was confined to a wheelchair in his I don't if he was born that way it was mama we were b yeshiva to learn to look at this person or my my daughters who went to bashka there was a girl that used to crawl she didn't have feet she crawled in the hallways she's an a student she got I don't know if she got married that I don't know but she was like a star in the in the bass rifka 2,000 students this girl name is Holtzman from from Canari New York Brooklyn you know so we have to always remember that that the moot never never to lose your mood and the same as now with as you have a drive will will accomplish God forbid the drive is gone it's it's it's bad need the drive so they should help us that we should always have a drive and you learn to see this it helps learn to see this learn to see just helps the drive. They're learning and you know is this coming Wednesday. It's my mother's yard site. So it's a day when it's a day when there's there's opportunities for for a drive in different ways. should help. Everyone should have good health, better health and with the with the children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren. And and and to know that when Hashem says that he's going to bring Mashiach, it's real. It's not like someone says Mashiach is going to come when and when hair will grow on this palm. here on this palm will never grow. Sing this again.
