from his death sentence to Freedom
and as we think about it
this happened in 1927.
almost a hundred years ago
so what's the connection to us
what do we take from it what do we have
from it here in America in Canada and
Australia there to throw all over the
world
yes that ever the previous celebrities
he had self-sacrificed literally
and not only did he himself have
self-sacrifice but he
he taught this to his hasidim my wife's
grandfather I'm Salman cerebronski would
celebrate naze
why because for him gimmel Thomas was
the day
when the free decrepe his rabbit who he
who he worked for in the 20s and 30s and
40s until the rabbit became the ebony
worked for him
his life was spared
on gimletamos from Death to
prison to hard labor and you'd base
Thomas
that ever got the notice if he could
ever got to notice that he's completely
free
so for them it was a big jump to if I
recall if I bring in a 770 about 25
years ago about I came into 770 youth
based Thomas Knight
and who was sitting there at two o'clock
in the morning
or three o'clock in the morning
my father-in-law cerebronsky
the Michael tatel by him
and the mayor often I believe
and in talking to my father-in-law the
next day he said yeah
for us this was it's real
okay so for them it's real but what does
that have to do with me I'm a Yankee
Doodle I grew up in America
I had food I had comfort
you know
we accepted them from America we had
that happen for 42 years that we saw and
heard him and enjoyed
things were
great and dandy cavaldi
and the answer is my friends
that you're the best Thomas represents
Messina's nephesh
it's the theme of self-sacrifice we see
the Snapfish just like naksham but I
mean not the official pace of jumped
into the water
and the fried
calls that day that is that fish
the individual in our generation
in the previous generation and the
individual who brought to the Free World
we see the Snapfish was
and I say this because people giants
like
rebellies silver
who was the head of agude
and the OU and everything else
in the 40s and 50s and 60s
rolled the red carpet out for him and
when the fried crapper asked him to get
visas for the bahram
Kai he got them the visas
and and when raphaimoisa was asked by
defeated support his yeshivas he helped
them
even though the Prime Minister was a lit
for sure
and treble as a silver was Elite for
sure
okay
but the Frida can happen
we couldn't do what he did what he did
we could we can learn and we can we can
do community work
but to stay in Russia
understand
with the threat of death every moment
not every day every moment and you have
to watch who's looking at you and you
couldn't speak and the fear was so real
that some of the Le Baba checks in them
they came already there in America in
the beginning they would they would be
careful who's looking at them
they wouldn't speak
I know there's some family
why because Stalin's fear is crept into
their bone into their DNA
but the true DNA was
and that and and and that's Messina
Snapfish and that's a lesson for us
it's a lesson today for us
so you don't have your you know your
chocolate cake and you don't have your
comfort so you don't have your air
conditioner
epistle let me see the starfish
they tell the story I heard this from my
Booker was in good man today he was in
krakabad and it was a boiling day must
have been 100 degrees outside and the
krakabad roof at that time with the
Yeshiva is was a flat roof and the sun
was boiling and it was 3 30 in the
afternoon it was the second saver when
the bahram come back to study the second
Crusader of Gomorrah and no one was
there and this Booker comes in and he
sees the only one who's there is a
mental foot of us
and he goes over tremendous as a Mendel
that no one's here because it's so hot
but if you go out to the porch they had
a porch over there it's a little less
hot because you don't have the the heat
from the Sun baking on the on the roof
maybe there was some shade outside I
don't know exactly how but
so the mendels and the Mendel was
wearing his his Capote
said maybe the men will take off your
cupboard and sit you know he was sitting
and learning and and sit on the porch
she said what
I should do that what am i showing the
book at him that when it gets hot
you don't have to come to learn you have
to change your clothing and you have to
go to a different location
what message am I giving and he refused
to go outside
and he stayed in the boiling base of
Madras
so as we continue here in our journey
during the summer and it's a journey
during the summer
it's brought down the cities that Thomas
the donkey is cold cold
vertebrated animal
coldness represents apathy count kite
the sun's baking and you're cold the
scout
Messina Snapfish is the antithesis of
calcite
let's see the Snapfish breaks calcite
make this your mission
be part of her bringing the Shabbos you
have to go to a little more little less
with masking without masking but you
participating if I bring it half an hour
an hour or 15 minutes two hours whatever
men with men women with women children
with children children should be taken
by their parents that if I bring him
and talk about mosquito Snapfish and and
think about what how you and your life
can add some aceta Snapfish and they
should help kids
and I remember that one Friday night
when there was a class like this they
didn't say
they said
he said they they substituted like you
do on a young difference it comes out
Friday night you say you substitute with
the word simcha
and they said the word and I understand
that the rabbi told the rabbit was about
filler
something about that the night before in
yehidas I'm not suggesting we do that
I'm not a ROV in this case ask your
owner of
it's a hergish it's a feeling so even if
you don't say this
it's a great it's a great day
nachos for us it's not just a little
babita it's for every Eid it's
