okay now unless it doesn't have enough battery anyway so so my father says to the whole the whole debate says to my father my son is Right father says if they're wow the whole place they wanted to devour my father and my father he said the first page of brings over there right right if you don't learn every moment on the second page page 10 I think it is today he says he quotes my father turns you learn every moment he didn't answer my father said the make up your mind bottom line is he did not he was not given the M but the next day I think the I forget which there was a a paper then for the I forget now front page Why am I telling you the story first I think it's a it's a good cute story but we talk about I'm sure wonders for publicity what I'm sure that the Wonders were the pr yeah talk about of also cover the taught us the teaches t b but they never really brought it home to our generation that every ye is a ye you know sings What a is Holy that's what I said early about the relationship the the the semantics the details the you know about see it's very important no question about it but that doesn't invalidate his yish kite as a ye as a full-fledged ye and this that hammered home for 42 years in his in his in his letters in his and I I could say someone who you know travels and studies the the world especially the FR Community the greater from the to the to the it it it made an impact it's still making an impact it made an impact that now it's popular to have what they call the C of organizations and Bells Bells Bells you know started Outreach what what does Bells have to do with Outreach they not block take a learn they're doing o Outreach in other words it it's no longer it's become it belongs to the populace it belongs to every year so in those years in the 50s when my father was with ra it was a it was a double and we had to break around and the same is with with this book that I wrote L with laich sat laich a lot of these issues that of course the young people didn't live through but I live through it and probably some of you live through it you know in 1974 75 when I was on a tank we called the tanks against simulation the the rider yellow trucks the and and and and we went in there we went out to Manhattan and here and there to put on F with talk about I got rocks thrown on on the tank okay this is not I'm telling you I who do you think would have to be you figure it out you don't have to be a science rocket rocket scientist anyway it's not the it's not the what's n is that that period finished and we can say yph we're on we're on record here so just let me do the talking okay anyway on so on one hand on one hand did it make us stronger I'd say yes it made us stronger the same time we go through periods in Jewish history we go through periods in our yish K and it's also important the fact that there was a certain period when there was a certain occurrence doesn't mean it's that way today it's not that way today tell you another story a different story another there was a city sometimes it was Russia sometimes Poland Ukraine called duckshit you ever hear about the city city duckshit and this had a one the was a family Gordons you heard of Josh Gord teaches right his his Z was was a in there were two families that were the Jacobs and the Gordons here in America in in in ran in Russia coming over here the 20s and 30s anyway so so uh the's name wasen gink he parked himself gu we in Worcester Massachusetts in Worcester that's where he was at there live and so in in in in inductions he was the love of the city so the AL the balat has a certain way that the knif should be for it's not the standard way it's a different way it's called it's smooth down from both sides anyway and it's very different than what everyone else does okay and they consider some consider it not K and you know you know was aure and doesn't say that he was upset and he told if you do this way you'll be fired from your job and more he was very connected to the authorities and you better stop this like I want came to America and has it Divine Providence has it his son his youngest son Gordon around year ago so what well he was a he came to America in 1931 so the 1920s so um so um he um his his son ends up being a a teacher in was from time he had takes a job there in the called Shas for for elementary was called is called inab there's for the older buff is the younger okay so he said and his father now says and so who's the the you know the story he says linol Gordon's eyes pop out and he says aha the next he would visit he would visit him once a year Gordon went to to Worcester once here to spend the shabas with his son he says I'll take care of him now now but guess what he was The Gabby in 770 at that time was the main Gabby Joseph and he went he had with the re and he told the reab you know the old there he said I'm going to to is my son in Worster and I plink is there and he tells the all the he had linol and now he's going to go there and he's going to make M meet with him Vision okay listen to what the told him don't say a word to him it's after the Holocaust under you got to forget about everything all grievances out the window he went there and he hug him and didn't say a word trust me gink you know what he did to him he knew what he did the said told me a story he said it public several times another story I just want to bring out a few that this is this was the he engraved Us in in this whole approach of even when in a sense there's room for criticism and there there is times when you have to open up and let go you're not a says you're not a CES like a threshold gate of them you know where's your pride where's your honor the wasn't that he said you have to teach people in America so when you when you were in his office and you walked with your backside out you couldn't get out cuz you had the buzz out you all know that and read my book the re you'll find out a lot more and I understand what he was doing I I do understand it he came in 1933 was re was nothing garbage wanted to bring up the I understand it it's not the this although he also became a kind of quaz with his that's another discussion not for now but so so so um what was the story I'm going to tell you give me gu yes I wanted to bring got in the story told me okay there was a writer maybe you remember the name I forget now he he was from Russia he was very bright and famous writer talking about in the 1940s 30s 40s remind myself his name anyway there was a family called binski or binski and the father figure of this was a mayor binski was his name he was a PO came from I don't know if there's such a re today anywhere I think there is anyway it became was anyway he became a he was very bright and he he explained very very well so somehow this writer who was not religious and he was you know like from the yisan the the intellectualism the the the the hola type in light people he decid he wants to learn with may blazinski may he he has a carpent over here he has someone wants to learn and and and he he used to be from in his youth you know and he's smart this is a a real hop a real catch so so um they stop learning and they learn and it's unbelievable but it's clean shaven sometimes so five six years into their learning binski gets fed up and he says that's it the next time we learning I'm letting him have it tell him you want to learn with me put put on SES put on a tilling do something show that that this learning isn't just an academic Endeavor so but before that he wrote to the binski wrote to the H other people stop yeah yeah told to stop learning with it and the said that buzinski told him told told us that the told don't say a word in a letter don't say a word he didn't and then he became a boua and I have a similar story it's some that I would learn with once a week in Midtown Manhattan from B Park to Midtown you take the trains an hour there an hour back and an hour we learned we went through the first 53 of T took us 10 years we learned it methodically and slowly and dialogue a smart person he has a has degree as a doctor as a lawyer whatever very fine person belongs the reform Temple Manhattan he put on a yamaka to learn a I'm learning with him one year two three four five nothing I thought maybe Happ a little bit you know and he tells me one day oh I heard this story from the shabas before I decided this week this week I'm going to tell him hey if you don't do some MIT I don't want to continue learning I heard this story I said shut your mouth put a zipper we say close your mouth and he told me after he told me later he said my friends at the reformed Temple said to me why you learning with an orthodox Rabbi you know that they want you to become kosher they want you to be put on filling that's not what you want to do and he so he said to his friends he said to him if this Rabbi the one who learns with me one time puts pressure on me I'm out no more learning finished today is a beard till down down to I'm not I'm not laugh I'm not joking with a goes to the mikah every day th for two three hours learns Mish you would think he of the I remember the first time I met him was Tish Tish I knew his brother-in-law in California is in California I worked forun for part of the time when I lived in LA and so he was on had a ton they made a ton to raise money for kabad so I was working P list yeah several people and I came across this name and he gave a nice donation so I said such a person needs a visit you know he not giving $50 he gave $500 who list thousands of names V is it so I drove out he was out that in Irvine that's an hour from La an hour and a half I went out there and V can they don't know anything who know and I put on never put on before I put on he doesn't know I explain what is and so he tells me when I go out I have a brother-in-law in in New York when I moved from La back to Yesa brought me to to Baba brought me to work for them in in in New York so I picked up the phone and I said I know your brother would you like to learn some T he say I'll get back to you now you know what that isans basically go somewhere no thank you amend my great uncle amend fo on talking to me when he was Los Angeles and he said to me I hate the Americans I said what do you hate about the Americans he says and they say mind your business he says By Us in Russia there's no such thing cuz mind your business we're all in it together and we each other I that's the way you grow the Amic just mind your business don't come too close anyway so so so um he told me that that that oh so I met him Tish so I took him to the oil this is after theas took him to the oil and in the middle we're talking and I didn't want to ask him right there to put on F night it was the afternoon already but we're just talking and he says yeah yeah yeah I I'm not allowed to put on T the morning I said what how do you know that how do you know this been allow to put he says I read in the back of the art scroll it has and then we went into the O and it's by the stain by he put he placed himself by the stone by the Monument of the Rat on one side y on the other side I'm telling you if you saw the way he D it was like him Kipper and I was embarrassed the way I D by the and the way this ye DED and this ye was this ye who said to me if I would have criticized him he would be out the door and it would be over these stories and many more is is what and what is more specifically Tau us over the years and don't think it was easy for the bites you know today it's like everyone does it you know the partic here serving the community very nice there was a big big opposition to this in the 50s they just came from Russia they just came from SAR just came from Poland let us breathe comes along to B starts already in the 50s dis organization that go out and the parents said no stay put select individuals went out in 58 and 59 because the the most were not for it they love the re you know it's hard for us laes today you know the younger liches that didn't grow up with this to see this but I grew up still with with these people and it wasn't that they were against the re but you know the re that says and we do we need to the the dedication to a words from a this became part of what we call in the Seventh Generation I.E that ever showed us as a living example that that his to the a is total not 5050 not 7550 not 991 100 how did he teach us through his for example famous 1952 when a big was there I think you have here a grandson of his gari gari th's River his Z was known as the gari and he was uh his greatr father his great-grandfather he was known as a Mas you know in other words just like in BMG there are certain people and certain that are the the of the yes right was the of at his time and we called that a not a Mas Enlightenment but a understanding deeply he came he was in New York that shop it's 1952 and he heard the say this and they say that he wasn't at that time yet the theb became in 51 right this is 52 a young man with a with a black beard not yeah the M turned him upside down what did the say then the said like this the said that that all the different levels all the different feelings of love for off for Ron will for kind of pleasure are all self selfish why because we have a mission and he interpreted the says I don't know what's going to be after 120 am I going to D or the opposite right asks know you and I might know I know I don't know but didn't know he learned every every moment so there different explanations in gave this explanation in that year that 1952 he never took the time to think about himself except the day that he was dying when Alin you have to make confession so wait a minute where am I who am I where am I going until then it would be a detraction from his from his mission what a when heard this it turned them inside out because everything that he heard from the rash and the it's like you know great and great but this was such a deep thought that if you're if you're thinking about yourself even in a spiritual holy way it's still yes it's still ego on some level he became a that that when this big of the the rash heard and what happened was what we say in Psychology and the paradigm shift he had a parad shift at that was very emotional he dropped his head he was crying it was a very emotional mind I encourage you to learn I think it's printed also theic Heritage series but I heard this from and other people who were at the they told me the the energy and what was going on in 770 at the table and it was very it was one of a kind so the re demanded demanded demanded he taught of of not only but particular who were used to doing everything don't get me wrong you know when you have to fight Stalin and your life's on the line like the famous would say someone who's not ready to go to the is worthless you ready to go to the what do you mean not to SL are you ready to allow yourself to be slaughtered for hasem to fight Stalin and you know they might send you away for 15 years you'll never see your kids you you'll die in Siberia are you ready for that oh maybe not I got to think I got to hide would say would say and he was of mine and I knew him and with him and heard him and he was a I think he came here at the lake with he was a c with's son-in-law thez so he had him in they allowed him to come yeah yeah I'm talking about way back in the 70s in the 60s and 70s I heard from Rabbi gansi you heard he's a d lives in B Park he's the son-in-law so he told me used to come here teach sometimes and he said he liked he liked yeah he liked to she better why for the first hour he spoke he knew it cold discussed with the with he knew all in Russia and he can hold so he told me that when he came to Lakewood before he started the loved it and they said this can it's open he knows he knows I'm saying a different style so so so would say if you're not ready to go to right but I wrote a book I don't have it here it's called the the what is it the book that came out in yish yish speak I wrote a book called laich speak what is the language ofab laich the Expressions the colloquialisms the the so one of the is said what's what's that musim this isn't just someone this person is B and very few people got that title they say that he he says I have a tape of recordings and he says over there about the Mal the famous Mal you know the and I wrote a whole book about him the Mal very interesting uh research on that very interesting lot to say about that but not now anyway I wasn't big aliz and I sold the book book sold out over there and all of a sudden 10 surround me that's thought that's it I and they loved it they they they were dialoguing and saying yeah we know about this said this who says this is true big Li said what's happened to my store and not screaming was friendly so so so and he was a mush he was known till he and theat had it out and Happ with not the details so um this idea of of of it's it's always in the but to bring it from the right and this is what you learning Yesa is the young B in here when you're learning yes there's one thing learning having a then there's another thing living it and not just living it being that's we're talking about living it when you go to business living it when you walk in the Street living living a living Gish kite and this is what we saw growing up with the re and listening I heard it for 25 years from the early 70s till the what did I see what did we see in this we saw in this year that it's not just lip service and it's and besides that you can see the and and I'm learning with a few people the you know you know what's in just take a look for your self in the next week somehow give a look there in just one pis you'll see it goes through sh like wow and all cryptic and all very very brief you have to be Al I'm telling you I I I I took this safer that safer to open up the the brevity of his comment but I walk away wow H how do so Daddy had but that that's that's no change that that's not what makes him theab what makes is that he he put into the into us he put into us the the reality that is real real in the sense that it's not just AA you have to live with it in your daily life for example in the 50s and later also was certain big cup in you heard the sh family Los Angeles Anda had a brother Emanuel Toronto Emanuel was a Phil had a PhD in philosophy but he was a so theb wrote him he told the Reb is going to you know theb wrote him make sure you declare what you have now come on you know I'm saying you know what I'm saying if you're going to and you're asking me you want a you declare what you have there's no there's no monkey business here I'm not saying that is the only one I'm not saying that but I'm saying this is a yish kite that's very very real and down to earth and the implementation of another story actually let's sing aan and you take off the The Machine my thing for a minute say
