talk about purification
it's shabazar godel
shabbos before pesach
yes my friends we've reached this point
where we
are google you do lim
who is a true girdle
someone who's humble
the very same place where you find god's
greatness you find it where in humility
and i begin this uh
program
with something that happened this week
it's the first time in american history
that a a woman of color
was appointed as a chief justice
i'm not a politician nor
were my parents politicians nor do i
want to be a politician
but when something happens that makes
the news
and we as eden we hear it
everything needs to be a hero a lesson
and avoids hashem is serving hashem and
this case also connecting it
to the rebels
120 years on this coming of this on
tuesday
so people ask what's the rabbishita
what's trebba's
approach
you know i wrote a book recently
called the rebbe's advice it's a 400
page book
and it has
entries meaning it will has thousands of
entries but 29 categories
and the idea is
to shed light on the rebbe's advice on
all of life's issues
and uh
the rabbit has an answer to this
question
that
answer is that race and color doesn't
matter when it comes
to
a decision
that's fair and square meaning
one shouldn't make their decision based
on race and color
now the other issues of politics
liberalism
that this particular judge
has or is
said to have
i don't
i don't say that ever would agree with
you know
when it comes to
issues of
liberal decisions
both illegally and otherwise so i'm not
that's not what i'm discussing but i'm
talking about the the idea itself
of race and color
should a person be disqualified because
of race and color the answer is no
that's not a torah view and i want to
bring uh one or two proofs to this
years ago rabbi groener
rabbi yitzhak ronaldo shalom of
melbourne australia told over that
he knew someone whose child
was looking to marry
someone a girl whose parents whose
mother didn't was very questionable
whether she used the mikvah
if you look into the holy czar
there's very sharp and severe words said
about a child coming from such a union
and brother groener said that he was
involved and he wrote this concern
to the to the rebel and there ever took
his pencil and he made a big x
on the question
in other words that should not be an
issue to stop that particular
shoulda
in other words
these type of things
are not
important
from the torah jewish rabbit perspective
that's the truth not talking now about
you know emotions and family
but those are all subjective we're
asking now about we're looking at the
objective truth the objective truth is
if a person is yellow
green black purple white
hispanic chinese american israeli svardi
ashkenazi
the it's irrelevant
truly irrelevant is the person a good
person is the person a decent person
does the person have the qualifications
for that particular job in that
particular work
[Applause]
i want to
just conclude that
since this came up this week and there
was a lot of discussion about it you
know the discussion of course wasn't
in in the way i'm framing it
because you know right away there would
be a
an outrage
but truth be told what lied
what what behind the entire political
discussion was the race of color issue
and
this is not
a jewish issue i'm talking about the
rebbe and udall of this
listen is a is a fast fantastic month
this ignition there's miracles it's also
a month of
yard sites just yesterday the
another family member is your excited
sunday and my mother
blessed memories on udolphinus and
actually
so i'm dedicating this
program
to her in the summer
because she was a
a woman who from manhattan married it
passing on when she passed on under
abrasion
and she was very connected to the redder
although she goes she was a survivor she
was born in poland she went through the
war and was was raised in costa rica
with no jewish school at the time in the
1950s
she came to america in 58
or so
married my father in 1960 i was born
shortly thereafter
and
she built together my father a a a a
family of the babaji family a citizen
family with children today grandchildren
great-grandchildren could name a harder
that ever touched her in a way no one
else touched her
now that she became you know the
greatest uh basketball coach person she
was
isha
bane
a woman amongst women
but her and muna i saw this emo
especially the last 10 15 years of her
life was so strong
it was amazing
amazing
and another point when i was growing up
she gave me the encouragement to write
when others pooh-poohed my writing you
know why are you wasting time
the little silly writing that i did as a
10 11 12 years old she was the one who
pushed me to write
later when my friends and i we lived in
borough park and the winters is cold
she was slept in the car to give us a
ride to yeshiva although we didn't live
far away but it was snow and
dreary weather
and then finally the fabregas sometimes
would go one two three in the morning
and she would come to pick us up so we
should be able to stay in the brain
until the end you're talking about now
in the 1970s
and i remember these things
how
you know
not coming from a chabad background and
not having that strong education
she
committed herself
to the
rebels
approach
and uh
on a shabbos like this on a week like
this where we we're going to celebrate
that episode
my mother's yard site now the same day
you dial up this and it's 120 years of
that episode of lettuce
it's really
a time to reflect
all of us whether we're older whether
we're younger the new generation the
upcoming leaders the future leaders
to know where you come from
know who you are and know where you want
to go
not to know where you come from
not to know
the responsibility
of the past is on our shoulders is a
mistake at the same time just to stay at
that level is also a mistake
so you need to know who you are and
especially where you want to go
hashem help us discuss of miriam bas
hain yaakov
who was murdered by the nazis her father
may hear the shaman aliyah
may would be to the ghoulish lama
and she always had a frail kite the
happiness
on her con in her approach to life the
vigor she loved life
that we should love life and love
another day of service
and if you haven't learned to see this
make a resolution for this you don't
have listen to start learning
you will thank me and thank god and
thank yourself
start learning not just reading
learning citiz and if you need a
place and help and the suggestion i'll
be more than glad to help you with it by
directing you to the right teacher the
right place and all that
and we should say here again to the
ghoulish layman we'll bring the carbon
pace
and will and will all celebrate together
and will only have simches and all of
the darkness
will dissipate and be eliminated to the
point of transformation which is the
difference between petika's comets
searching for comets next thursday night
and peter comets
obliterating the comments burning the
comments on friday day is the difference
between the scoffing and the
subjugation versus transformation and we
should have
goula now
and the
