it's closed for the neshama thank you
very much for your sponsorship
this is Hornick at this point I'd like
to call upon an individual who doesn't
need an introduction an individual who
okay say he's just known by Hrothgar
thank you very much like introduced
Hrothgar Friedman to come up and please
say a few words thank you okay for those
who know me already
even the mic guy knows me he gave me
this I'm not standing one place let's
get that very clear I wanted to start
off a beer juice all the cost of a
participants in Somerset New Jersey 2013
I had a privilege of being invited to
come speak on a body and soul retreat
which may have been the first I don't
remember if it was or not but when one
of the first retreats for those familiar
your familiar for those unfamiliar it's
when you bring from and and not yet from
come together in order to experience the
shops together and it's really an
amazing experience there's only one
problem and that is I live in Berkeley
shop my living area to Cheryl and I had
told the beautiful staff just do me a
favor do not put me on before Shabbos
it's just not a good idea so they put me
on before Shabbos and I got to the hotel
I am wrecked you know the truth is if
you flying first-class you get a good
rest but I've never done it so I don't
know if that's really true so I am
wrecked I am tired I'm exhausted and as
they say in England it was a write-off
right that was just a written off and I
I had to sleep as I went to sleep I even
awoken from knocking on the door from
that man who the sleeping giant via
Kafka Nagar
he says where are you I said well we're
talking to each other I'm here
he says you're supposed to be teaching
I'm like one he's like 15 minutes ago
like I'm coming you know like when you
wake up you're like totally out of it at
least I am and your eyes haven't
adjusted yet at least mine I walked in I
literally started teaching I couldn't
see yet I was just like ladies and
gentlemen and then I got turned like
ladies and gentlemen thank you all for
coming today
I was totally wrecked about Hashem they
learned from their ways and and but I
was invited again and a few years ago we
had this event in Kalahari and it was
beautiful it was beautiful I got that I
said please don't put me on Friday so
they put me on Friday I get to the
hotels
I am wrecked now I'm told that if you're
in business you could sleep well but
once again I have never been in business
so I'm sitting in the back I get there I
go to sleep as you could maybe imagine I
get a phone call and it's ringing in my
room I wake up and it's a familiar voice
from 2013 and he says where are you I
said I'm in you called my room I'm in my
room he goes you're late where am I and
I came down and okay
last year Hashem I was invited to come
to speak up project inspire I said do me
a favor
don't put me on Friday so ya see
Friedman promise you if we are not
putting you on Friday I get here I'm
like I'll take a little nap before
Shabbos and I go ahead and I take a
little nap but I by the time I get to
sleep it's only 4:00 p.m. sharp is
starting on 5:15 I said an alarm is set
to alarms I call the front desk and like
can you please give me a wake-up call
they said what time said 5:15 is that
a.m. i said no p.m. they said in an hour
i said yes i said n could you do 5:20
they said am i said p.m. and then okay
as at 5:25 they like sir isn't that
Shabbos already I said who is this he
said it's Yaakov kindergarten
I know it wasn't y'all gonna go so it
was a stupid Shalonda she waits at the
front desk and they say okay you know
we'll give you a hiccup call I go to
sleep I wake up to ringing the phone's
ringing I opened my eyes I don't know
where I am let alone what time it is
I look around that I see outside it's
pitch black
the first thought that hits me is not
again I look at the clock it's 12:15
a.m. I went to sleep at four o'clock I
slept the whole night
now push em they didn't put me on but I
was on at 12 o'clock for the late-night
session I was only 15 minutes late for
Hashem I come downstairs it was like
where were you I'm like I'm here that
late but we're worried I'm like my
flight got in late first and business
are here but I was in coach this year
don't put me on Friday I don't want to
say who but I was told they actually put
me on a Friday Afghan ago said are you
nuts like you put the guy on Friday and
then took over the schedule I got here I
said I got to go to sleep but this time
I give a key to somebody I'm like come
in wake me up throw me off the bed do
whatever you can I go to sleep at 3
o'clock 2:30 yesterday afternoon what
everything it was Erev Shabbos now
there's been many many jokes over the
Shabbos and at the fire alarm
but if you want to know the real reason
for the fireline Yossi Friedman said
there is no way Friedman is sleeping
over this Shabbos on ok who has to
suffer anyway so I just woke up and
unfortunately like we know some people
are still sleeping and originally this
whole project this whole idea was called
the sleeping giant the sleeping giant
everybody in the world wants meaning
everybody wants purpose everybody's
looking for something everybody does
matter who you are doesn't matter your
background is whether your age your
gender everybody is looking for meaning
and purpose in life the unfortunate
reality is that many people don't know
what that means
they don't know what it means to have
meaning to have purpose to have value
and we start looking for other things
because what is it what what's meaning
what's purpose and the world is very
much given the concept of value and
worth to money that's essentially where
you find that concept that comes up I
read an article in H comm actually make
sure I brought it that I could read it
and I read this thing about there's
someone I don't have you've heard of him
it's a guy named Jeff Bezos
he's a small company it's not in New
York so it's MIT can't be that big
anyway the article said that he topped
115 150 billion dollars this is an old
article site and basically do the math
that means that he made over this
certain period of time two hundred and
seventy five million dollars a day which
equals eleven point five million per
hour which is one hundred nineteen
ninety one thousand dollars per minute
or three thousand one hundred and eighty
two dollars per second I read this
article on and I said to my wife I said
it's amazing like just the his net worth
well with it be a hundred and fifty
billion dollars that's like what kind of
that's insane one hundred and fifty and
I said to my daughter I said did you
hear that
so she said one of my oldest daughter I
said there this guy Jeff he he's worth
billion dollars and my daughter looked
very puzzled and she says to me I don't
understand what what now my kids are
Israeli and I'm the immigrant in the
house I said he is well 150 billion
dollars right is that French
I don't know it sounds like she said to
me como right and she goes no I
understand English I just what do you
mean he's worth 150 billion dollars what
does it mean I said what do you mean
what does it mean he's worth 150
knowledge because I don't understand he
is worth 150 billion dollars his worth
and she wasn't even getting like Lum
dish you know she just she was really
trying to sin his value is a hundred and
fifty billion dollars and then it hit me
I'd never thought about in that
perspective that we say it all the time
net worth valued that's the net worth of
a person how much money they have that's
their value and the unfortunate reality
is that many of you didn't immediately
challenge me you should have right away
challenged me right away said to me net
worth hundred fifty billion who said is
worth hundred fifty billion so the
answer is that you're right he's not
worth 150 billion dollars what's the
value of a person how much money they
have so he may have a certain amount of
money but is that what he's worth so how
much are we worth how much is a person
worth so we have a very famous Mishnah
very famous anyway it's famous but for
those who are involved in the h world
know that roof nog would often quote
this Mishnah and he would say the
following the minister says in Pirkei
avos i believe it's here somewhere if
not only enough to make it up it's found
in Perak tsiyon mission are you dollars
this one to see who got that one
that means I'm making it up okay but now
I'm gonna say the Mishnah I know it's
you're thinking there's only six broken
but now you're really thinking is only
five Bruck in the six ones prices they
add it on I get it don't get confused
says the Mishnah though part of the
first five perk come whoo hi y'all mare
okay good excellent you could have
finished any of it with that but club
Adams shanira B'Tselem beloved is a
person that they're created but selim
they're created in the image of a God in
the image of God of a Shem people you
say oh no Donna slow she never but sell
him but he loved us even more that he
let us know that we were created in the
image of a Shem to recognize who are we
what's our value 150 billion pales in
comparison to be created in the image of
God were godly do we recognize that were
godly let alone a secular yet do we
recognize that were godly do we behave
in a godly manner and I'll tell you
something I'm embarrassed because my
voice always tells me be very careful
what you say be careful you speak
because you're being make a trade
yourself because here I am speaking to
other people and telling do we realize
that's why I added the word we do we
realize because a lot of times I gonna
speaker gets up and he says you know I'm
really speaking to myself and if you
want to listen then you can listen I
like to tell the speakers to get a
therapist
you should stop speaking to yourself
well let me tell you I'm talking to you
but hopefully I'll listen also do we
recognize who we are that we ever tell
them a little Kim what does that mean
but keeping a Cyrano that's the very
famous muscle at least famous for the
Aged world about a wealthy man is
walking down the street somewhere in
let's say Manhattan is usually the
example small little island and as he's
walking down this island he sees this
homeless person on the side of the road
he feels bad for the person he goes 86
how this checkbook used to be he wrote a
check for a million dollars which is not
so much now he writes a check for a
trillion dollars he makes it out to
homeless man on street puts an envelope
pic suppose
and his card puts on the bottom of the
cart and he walks away
the guy who wakes up the next day and he
continues his push cart putting his
bottles picking up bottles putting his
bottle speaking of bottles never getting
to the bottom of the cart never
realizing how much he actually had
that's just a muscle don't get confused
cuz some of us are like oh yeah because
money is value no it's not that's not
value it's a muscle comforts climate
over 300 Michele and they say I bet
whoever the day I say today I say cough
it's common over 300 Michele my business
to understand something because we get
so caught up in all the mosaic to miss
to understand what it's about but he
goes through life and never knowing the
guy had a trillion dollars we have much
more than a trillion dollars do we
recognize that that we realized that
what does it mean to go ahead we talked
about the idea of Kiros
how are you a Meharry of a person how
does one makar of a person so if we were
to stop for a second and think what the
word means it's a [ __ ] answer what
does that mean how are you Meharry of a
person how do you bring someone close is
that what you're asking because people
miss in the word think Kirov is like a
thing it's a word lick i rave to bring
somebody close how do you bring somebody
close I don't understand do you not have
relationships with people at all ever
how do you bring anybody close the way
to bring somebody close is to love them
is to respect them is to build them up
is to make them feel cost shift like
they're important I heard from a cover
of mine every so majeski who lives in
California who quoted from daniel Kalish
that it says the first mission in Pirkei
avos
happy to tell me the muharram a which
many of you just gloss over it just
readers have lots of students it's very
strange lusher know what's behind me do
tell me the mehar bay ha me to tell me
the mario from ocean ha model ammo to
stand up behind me do means and you
should stand up your tongue medium high
bay build them up again and again and
again and again how you make care of
someone how would you feel towards
summative every time you saw them they
said you're amazing you are
you just I so appreciate you you're
valuable would you be like oh I don't
want to have a relationship with you or
would you say thank you so much at least
feel great and want to connect with that
person how you micariff someone Bemis I
made them build them up make them feel
like they're conscious you see sometimes
even if you do it unintentionally just
like speaking a certain way about
somebody to them that could change their
whole perspective on themselves tell you
a little story you know I'm gonna tell
you a big story it's just short I'm
gonna tell you a long big story now
you'll feel like it's long but it's
actually short so there was a father
from tel-aviv secular man as they say
baloney
it was a yellow knee and the second man
and a son and even though he was not
religious he wasn't observant he wasn't
into it that wasn't his thing
still the terminology that you used when
you're speaking Hebrew it's just a funny
thing that you find I for those who've
been on jwp you maybe heard me tell the
story I remember when I when I first
came to Israel I mean that's I don't
remember the first time I was six months
but the about 12 times leader when I
when I was 17 years old about four years
ago I came there to Sarah and I was very
taken aback I got into a cab okay it's
like that one's careful which can't be
get into etcetera but I got into an Arab
cab I didn't whatever in the first thing
I noticed was a little unusual so I got
in the cab and the cab driver got out of
the cab now I know I'm in coach and it
could be I don't smell that great but
I'm trying to wonder what's going on
here goes to the back of the car he
opens up the trunk he takes out a rug a
body falls out a wrong story
I'm sorry wrong story he takes out a rug
and he puts it down in the floor and he
just gets on the floor and starts you
know it's going to sleep over and over
just over and over going to sleep I was
like what is going on
and I realized he was the happening he
was praying he was an Arab and then he
like comes back in the car I said to him
money Sh'ma he says but oh push him and
I was like what no he said no question I
said are you Jewish
he goes no I was like oh he says Manish
my I said hamdulillah but the
terminology that's used is just II speak
Hebrew it doesn't mean more than the
words that they're saying necessarily
and this secular man you would call his
son Sadiq you'd call son Saavik all the
time he'd see a sign a bit sad he comes
Santa comes Santa call my little Salva
Kiir such at sanic he said satanic you
know he said Sadiq so Dick said thinks
that the exciting said he one day there
in Tel Aviv they're walking down the
road together and the boy says Patti
because even though he's not religious
he didn't say daddy never he says ABBA
or Frank whatever he called him he says
dodo listen I have to have to use the
bathroom he says oh ok you know what uh
oh yeah there's a there's a little story
here let's go inside here and it was it
was a bar here's a comments going to the
bar let's go so he goes into the bar
opens the door he walks in and he walks
towards the bathroom and then he turns
around and he sees his son is not with
him and he's like oh my goodness he
looks around like where's my kid he goes
running outside and this kid's standing
at the doorway he says no why aren't you
coming inside he goes ah blah I can't go
in there I'm not Sadiq that's that they
can't go in there
and that little boy was me I'm always a
little boy in the story anyway
he just called him a certain name and
all of a sudden what happens he starts
to feel a certain way do we build people
up do we make them feel like their
clothes shift to B go ahead and give
them not just like there are project
there are little you know whatever and
like if I have to make them feel so when
I will under said what are you talking
about
selamat look in this person's creative
it's helmet look him do we recognize who
we are do we appreciate ourselves do we
treat someone else like their I tell
them I look in who I really realize who
they are but really do they deserve to
that are they worthy of our respect that
our honor I mean you know there's
secular not genre Shabbos not summer
conscious they're doing the wrong thing
let's first understand something I've
met a bunch of people in my day and I
can't say I have that knowing I would
say comes close but I would say this
certainly very few of any that come
close to becoming what's called a moment
a hotness what they're coming to fight
they're really they're against the Torah
they're fighting against it first of all
most don't even know altogether and then
at best it's a moment let alone and I
don't know what's going on he's just
like you know enjoying myself I'm just
doing I'm doing other they worry that I
respect let's understand that if I can I
want to say quote here so I don't get in
trouble but I can get rid of Rybak's
minute shuttle what's a difference
between refrain Kenny F ski and you
what's the difference between you and
her fine can have ski there could be
many answers I'm just gonna tell you
what I heard from her than fine Waxman
the difference is to you and of crime
can you ski is let me tell you I've come
to Kiev ski is it neshama and you're in
a summer
in essence my house there is no
difference between you a secular Jew can
Kaminski okay look at the commie mouth
Anna Shama is there a difference
practically the answer is yes one has
worked on themselves overcome and pushed
years and years and day and in second in
a second out
but ultimately the ma who is the essence
we're talking meant over your person
who's creative its elemental Kim beam
accompany them to go ahead and to build
them up he imagined how would we go
ahead and treat someone if we actually
looked up and respected them it's
amazing I'm gonna borrow something that
I actually was probably in this very
room people ask me what I'm living Erica
so they say where you going I say what
do you mean where am I going I'm going
to America to some sort of conference
where else what are we going Connecticut
right it's essentially where all the
conference's end up and about to be this
very thing and asked the following
question I'm not gonna give you the
whole background but if I ask you the
following question we find when it comes
to money the misunderstood concept of
what we think is value if people are
Mesabi people with money some of those
money women sabe then we asked them to
come up and give talks and ask them to
go and do this and do the other we were
Mesaba them a crazy they come in we
stand up we open the door for them and
I'm not saying that you shouldn't be
Maccabi something with money but I am
saying we should have my habit everybody
and why is it that we must obey those
people I'm just gonna tell you what
somebody said in the crowd when I once
asked asked a crowd similar to what's in
today it looks to be learned four or
five thousand people the video doesn't
know huh I'd look at a crowd like today
and I said so why is it that we respect
rich people and some guy in the back
yells out because we want their money I
said I was gonna say because they're
honorable because they've done so much
and because we want their money
if you knew someone's not giving you the
money I'm not think with someone who's
involved in a big project and helping
out I mean someone who's just happens to
have a lot of money but they're not
involved in giving yet necessarily and
your mishap in my car but you know 100
percent then I give you anything
this is thought our mind someone walks
in let me open the door for him and you
can open the door for him he's gonna
walk in he's gonna look at you're going
you know what that was really nice
here's $10,000 what if you knew you were
in beginning what we respect them the
same way it's a martial people it's just
a muscle for a neshama
okay local economy mouth to recognize it
every year there's a new Shama
and to understand that every year
disconnected in some way as far as he
maybe is connected that got this
barnacle until we go ahead and do we
look for that and then do we respect
them and do we honor them do we stand up
for them do we open the door for them
how are you Meharry of someone the
answer is simple how do you bring people
close right we have all these
discussions but they usually like in a
Hawaiian mentality of a word as if it's
in nuuma house this is the concert the
way that we go into it is we respect
them we honor them we build them
everybody needs that idea and if someone
goes that in respects and honors and
build someone it changes the entire way
so how do you do it you smile at them
you give them the time of day you pay
attention him somebody asked me somebody
asked me and I hope I don't make this
too much of an opening because oh it
should be an opening someone asked me I
see you talking to a lot of people over
the weekend
how do you have the patience to talk to
them everyone's coming over to say [ __ ]
it is talking that together how do you
have the patience to talk to them I said
because they're rich
but what I really said is what I really
said I thought that but what I really
said is how do I have the patience to
talk to them because I've been on the
other side I know what it feels like
they're people that I'd like to talk to
they're people that I like to go over to
and I and I either want to share
something with them I have a question
for them and I know what it's like to be
blown off I know what it's like to make
like I'm not a crush of a person like
I'm not valuable enough now that doesn't
mean I have the time of day for every
single person doesn't have time today
for myself sometimes but we try to do
what we can do so we must not beat
people or do we have an agenda of who
we're mohabbat and when we're Muhammad
then anybody who feels honored anybody
who feels that way Lessig the Mishna
says Aisyah mokuba the Maccabiah sub
Rios sometimes they look like just
creatures brios but at the end of the
day it's a telomere looking someone who
doesn't start to see crazy things I
think think think it's not just about
being Muhammad someone as if you're
speaking with them when you speak to
someone you build them up you can go out
and get changed amazing things I want to
share with you an idea that I heard an
amazing idea just a thought process even
if we never speak to the person and
we're not Muhammad am I speaking to them
just thinking about them in a positive
way does have an impact on them say an
amazing idea and tell the story that the
Roberto song came from on shabbiha and
he says I want you to tell the Jewish
people I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming
to take them out and what is well sure
being to respond then I can't believe me
what do I tell then I couldn't believe
me it's like think that they're gonna
believe it's gonna be fine they're not
gonna believe me if they don't believe
you
so I'll give you a sign just you can't
then you sure take it out take your
staff throw it down take the blood put
it on the water water till the blood
fine you did the signs if you understand
what I said great if not look it up in
the parsha so he goes dad did you read
the Perisher anyway Sega's ahead and he
puts his hand then he takes out it's
white like shelling put it back in take
it out
perhaps some speak about the idea
first discuss speaking loshon talk about
clowny so it's not a small thing put
your hand to take outs like sir ass put
it back in come in a snake
what's a snake symbolically your
toughest kind speaks about this about
how we speak how we talk he says if they
don't believe you then show them the
sign if they don't believe that sign
show them the next signer then it'll be
good and what ends up happening
he goes to cloudy still and the puss
success he shows them the signs why'd he
show them the signs well what was the
discussion if they don't believe you
show them the signs which seemingly
would indicate the cry so maybe didn't
believe until they showed the signs
which would show that most abandon was
tacky right then I gotta believe me
so why would I cut his vocal not be
happy with long shot Boehner that he's
gonna go and say such a thing
one you could say why he's still
shouldn't speak how nice or maybe since
Moshe Ben was the leader of Kali Israel
Moshe Rabbeinu goes ahead he thinks a
certain way about Claudius well then
what ends up happening cloudy so starts
to think about that way themselves
perhaps if Moshe Abena when Hashem says
to him go to them and tell them and he
would have been immediately they would
have believed it immediately but because
we think a certain way about certain
people the way we think about some of
the changes the way they think about
themselves
pathetic idea Ravana Yoda brings down
and pair K all of us also biiian harder
to understand that the way in which we
think can actually impact other people
the RAM mom goes this as well the way in
which we think about someone can affect
somebody even without talking tyndall
say we're just thinking then have a coma
to say something to them say something
believe in them I spoke to my Rebbe
right before I came right now the hour
ago I called them up and I said here's
the idea what's my uh you have a story
for me I actually didn't tell Matt
actually cuz I know him or it's like
give me a my raha song and they told me
a story
because looks like how it works the same
way in fundraising if you go ask for
money you get advice if you ask for
advice you get money so here I asked for
a tour he gave me a story and here's the
story he said very recently one of his
tell me them another I didn't say who
and I'm not asking you one of his tell
me them he convinced him to learn a
milla course learn Mila how'd it be on
mohel so we did you're gonna be mom and
just recently he had a baby boy and he
was the moil for his own son so I would
say now our Rebbe came over to her and
said you know it's amazing how you did
it
koulikov oh you went through the course
you did it analogy you did it but you
also did your own son the beautiful
thing the midst of his even yours you
don't have to do Ashley oh you did
that's amazing
and he said rabbi I want to tell you
something when I was growing up as a kid
I was a bit of a troublemaker to a very
very big degree my parents bought me to
all these therapists psychiatrists one
therapist said if you do not get your
act together you're going to end up in
prison the way you're behaving you're
gonna end up in prison it's a tougher
push it there's nothing to talk about
but my parents always said one thing to
me over and over again you're not a bad
kid you're just doing things that aren't
good you're a good kid you could succeed
you could overcome you could do this I
believe in you that you have the cost we
hope to do such a thing and he said only
because my parents pushed and Thomas
lately believed in me and much they
loved me was I able to get through those
times and today stand as raising a
yiddishe of family and being the mohel
of my own son where I never would have
taken this course do we believe in our
children do we believe in our students
do we believe in qawalli Israel do we
believe in ourselves that changes
realities it literally changes realities
now when I say to you before just think
think think think it's not just the way
that we go and we talk but how powerful
our thoughts I'm gonna tell you
something which is one of the most
powerful ideas that I heard
I heard this idea first is a famous
chimera in soccer tough confute game oh
my base I think because I can write down
later brockless is supposed to say any
of them so any of their if it's on Kofi
came over base I'm sorry
and the come over that discusses you lie
to hate someone who are you letter hate
when your letter hate if you let hate
and there is a more you ticket Toys Toys
Toys was in the top right corner it says
an amazing thing please do come up and
see it maybe Intifada base amazing idea
the question is do you lie to hate
someone the governor says yeah there's a
time maybe you're allowed to hate
someone maybe certain circumstances
maybe the for errors or something like
you lie to hate somebody and toast so
says the following even though you're a
Latta 8 someone am i could go through
the whole thing but it's kid I to see
and pursue the moment SIA
Psch service all times of helping
somebody with any say cousin he says
it's kid die not to hate them even if
you're allowed I hate them even though
it's motor for you to hate someone in
certain circumstances as can die not
date then how come he says I'll tell you
why because if you hate somebody how are
they gonna feel about you if you hate
them can my impugn ml pun and Kane Leyva
them law them you ate somebody just like
water when you look at the reflection of
water you'll if it's still pond then you
look at and you see can my him pond him
L pond him you see yourself so to are
the hearts of one person to the next so
if I go ahead and I see someone and I
hate them now they're gonna hate me
because I hate them
and then if they hate you you're gonna
hate them because they hate you that's
not much there you can't just hate
someone even if there's a happier to do
it at the time you're gonna hate them
for the right reasons then they're gonna
hate you for the wrong reasons and then
you're gonna hate them for the wrong
reasons and then you're over a missing
you now to do it come on poem about him
so that's a ptosis
I heard from one of my bosses one of my
many bosses are made of a draftsman I'm
sure it's in his book that's a plug 10%
he said I heard I heard from Rossi he
said the following at the end I believe
I hope I got this right I need I need
some backing up over here it's a love
illusions that make sense okay so there
was a person I hope it's the right thing
now he says the following idea when we
go and we say can my implantable punim
can't leave all gumlog I mean you think
what it means is like if I come to you
in the morning by the coffee I say good
morning we will offer respond with good
morning but if I go what are up you've
got whatever you having a hole you go
home we respond in the way which people
talk with us but that's only if I'm
talking to you if I'm right in front of
you and if I'm with you what if I'm not
with you what if I'm in a different
country what if I never met you what if
I never spoke to you and halfway across
the world the lotion is Kim my amp
animal punim Kayne Leyva the mud then
which means so to the hearts in the
lathe it doesn't have to be next to a
person I just have to love somebody and
care for somebody and respect someone
even if I'm not in front of them even if
they never meet me even if they never
see me there's a colleague of mine I
can't say who it is cuz I didn't ask her
just many of you might know him and he
would say this perhaps himself but I
can't say his name whenever he gets
pulled over by the cops and when I said
whenever because it happens whenever he
gets pulled over by the cops
the first thing does he shuts everything
in his mind down and he goes I love him
I love him I love him I love him I love
him the cop comes over and I could just
tell you what he told me he said every
time he's got let off so now you know
it's motor to speed as long as you love
the police officer
he goes ahead and he loves him to get
out of the ticket kim myung point of
opponent can't leave autumn law dumb
where's our heart like was mentioned
right before do we care does it hurt us
at the very least does it hurt us when
we see another year that's not living
you this your lifestyle that's not
connecting with a cut this barnacle does
it hurt I could tell you it's so painful
I love to fly allow I'm not making any
jokes I'm not making jokes people here
make a lot of things I have heard things
and people that whatever but I allow I
personally I love flying allow 10% off
fellow first-class plane it's only three
seats I love flying a lot and the reason
I love flying allow us because I don't
have to have a guilty conscience
allow all the food is kosher to some
degree all of it is kosher to some level
at least so if I sit down on the plane
the person next to me order something
which isn't kosher
I could sleep fine but I flied United
recently
and I said that next to a Jew and it's
so so painful that I'm this genuine this
is so painful family what do I say to
this person I'm like yeah man it's you
know in my head I'm like what's my line
you know what am I gonna do it I
remembered her the Rebbe Yaakov Samson
once said old story I was sat at writing
for like the New York Times if it knows
the story what was it
Salomon what would I say well I can't
stop thinking about you sir rabbi Samson
as a friend of Yaakov Solomon he wrote a
book Samson says no Solomon says in his
buggy
I'm sure it's in his book Javert he sits
down in the Playtex the secular press is
that a talk she just opens up his
computer and you might see big letters
New York Times and starts to type in the
woman next door management says oh you
work for their times oh yes I do are you
Jewish and all conversation I did the
same thing person looks over and put
some a movie right back on they don't
like the New York Times so I changed it
literally Jerusalem Post continuing I'm
like mishpokhe on Magazine she's like
you get missbach huh all right you
wouldn't look at me nothing was
happening what am I going to say
now when she put on the ear plugs to
watch the movie I was so relieved cuz I
could finally watch a movie without
having to put mine on but the reason I
was so relieved is because that on if
the same thing I'm off the hook she's
you know I said what do you want for me
she's Annika disturb her watching a
movie that's the Shalom it's
interrupting it's just every word Cephas
I can't you know then she takes that
there plugs on the Kawai gosh what am I
gonna say and then they come with the
kosher meal they come to me they go
Sarah kosher me I said yeah kosher and
they go to the woman kosher meal she
says no no thank you I'm like in my mind
did you have to say no like it's one
thing they would have given you doing
but I never saying no not the kosher
meal I'll have to traif one with Pig
please like made on a pig well then I
don't eat because I only eat pig you
know I was like oh come on something
finally towards the end of the
conversation
long story but I ended up saying
something I just I asked the can I ask a
personal question she said yeah I said
it's not relevant but I thought fair
enough to tell you guys I started the
story but basically now a member she's
gonna watch this and know what I'm on -
but if she's watching this were okay
but basically basic I asked her question
about life and thinking and she's from
Israel from America I could play the
stupid American card why are you not
clear a date you know like whatever oh
my god the conversation and exchanged
information so they says this is a week
ago this is brand-new a week ago but
sitting next this person it pains me it
hurts me I can't so I'd rather just be
an owl so I don't have to think about it
I would say that maybe okay I'm on so
much Rago you know at least I care but
how offer my that I have to run away
from it and how offer my that even the
person next to me if they're eating the
kosher meal and I'll ow they could still
use some critic so I care about them - I
love them to the extent I'm gonna go
ahead I'm gonna build this relationship
to be able to go ahead and change them
in that way do I think about that at
least do I love them - I believe in them
is it something which I'm thinking about
I care about and I'm pushing so as
always time is short so I'm gonna wrap
this up right now end up with one point
I tell him I'll call him later
very simply foot to wrap it up from the
beginning here we go so we started off
in the beginning summer 7 2013 Kalahari
there were your last in this year fire
alarm now we need to say what's going on
over here
everyone wants to feel meeting a purpose
in fact the problems we could mistake
with the concert around people's
meetings all together we think that it's
money money money money we got caught up
at the idea that's what it is he's worth
150 billion dollars that's his value
that's what he's worth he's worth that I
don't know something we get so caught up
in the person goes why don't be
respected because we're getting
something out of what about a regular
person respect them all so every person
wife about him it's a little keeping you
as a service to watch it that's them
and he told you Photoshop told us we
said if you tell him to kill me or
Godley do you make it like that every
year this godly and we understand the
concept and putting our efforts we have
to help them respect them treat them
well stand up and open the door for them
actually give them a certain feeling are
you going to take something by accident
sadly killed sadly killed sadly I can't
go to the bottom of Sonic did we go to
me look at all the neighbors and all of
Christ owns such a way that we could
carry them to the except that we gonna
start there instead of wheels they are
worthy of recovered because they're in a
shot much of crime can he have skis in a
shop every one of us it was Shawn that I
and ok man he goes and he did a little
bit more and he worked on him find it
suits in the role it's a time into the
rough but be able to go realize the
value but I'm in the rough is still
pretty valuable and be able to give the
respect to the only true thing behind me
to tell me the my are paying higher pay
higher being over and over and over and
build them and build them and build them
and build them and build them and make
them feel important let me tell you
stick with target no just build them
make them feel like a crush of immense
if they feel like there's something and
that they're gonna grab me towards you
and they're gonna come Karl Rove they're
gonna come closer to you you'll be make
hiring for them and when your Mac I
remember them Kirov's then they're gonna
want to get even more but think think
think
just a thought process itself or the
similar circles just think about a
powerful well I hate Lori I mean Opie's
I can I believe in me so now we don't
believe or do we go and Rory says that
we go to we believe in them I believe in
your son you're great these things may
be the bad things but you are not bad
you were incredible you're amazing
you're fantastic you can get over the
sinner he gives a brisk meal to his own
son there's a beautiful Yiddish your
family unbelievable pricing what it can
happen a person just someone who
believes in them and then maybe get
really they can believe in themselves
did we recognize that weird sound look
him we are godly we are created a tell
mother Kim and if we were to go and take
that concept to recognize that and
realize that everyone else is awesome
maybe we could help them get to a higher
level than they ever were him I am punim
upon him can leave our them love them is
just a few more days Stockholm topic
what else emergency it's the family
babies tells you the idea what does that
mean over there
don't name it's not gonna connect is
you're gonna hate them because reason
maybe if you're over left to even making
them hate you I was gonna happen a
second ago some of those and that it was
going to happen we're just
see the fact that you hate them an issue
come on Gail a van I have to be in the
room have a signal of the person love
you understand the concept from mayor
mayor Solomon Sampson and I let's give
you anyone's name
right so I guess how I'm going open
these things and if we were to do such a
thing people recognize who we are build
ourselves up won't be same mode that I
nila Faneca realize that we are godly
and recognize these ideas and think
about them and put them are two
perspectives what about my brothers and
my sisters what about the rest of cloudy
sell and go out there when we see them
or might copy them not fake real don't
try to be mature of them be micariff
them build them up and I'll end with
this last story you know when the rabbi
means when he says I'll end with this
last story it's not my fault that you
misunderstood me because you don't know
my accent I didn't say a nd I said a and
D and I will end with one more end I'd
like to share with you of the following
listen to the story two story which I
told the number of years ago yes a very
valuable watch I told the story very on
this very podium it was a project
inspired weekend one of the ones I slept
in and I gave a five minute pitch and I
said the following story the story is
told about a guy by the name of you know
the story you'll know it his name is
Julio Diaz the story happened about four
twelve years ago if I believe I saw this
in the Washington Times not my article
and what happens is is a guy named Julio
Diaz Julio Diaz was on the a train it
doesn't matter which state or country
whenever you're in a train you better
watch your back he's on the a train it's
after midnight then he comes to the stop
and when he gets to the stop he's
walking there it's totally empty and as
he's walking they're totally empty what
ends up happening he sees a guy come at
him a little of this kid with looks like
17 years old this guy Julio was 31 years
old at the time the guy comes out and he
pulls out a knife and he goes money or
your life he's like okay I choose money
takes that his wallet throws it to him I
would show it to you I don't have a
wallet I'm Israeli she goes second he
throws in wallet my took that sold to
see though so he goes ahead
he throws him to wallet the guy picks up
the lot starts walking away is this one
second kid turns out with a knife one
he goes listen it's cold outside if
you're gonna be mugging people you
probably need a coat
would you like my coat the guy says coat
of your life I choose coat good choice
takes off his coat throw it to him I
would give you one show you it is I have
a coat so goes head he throws her to him
and he's walking away and I said hold on
a second
because what he goes if you're mugging
people and it's cold that side you must
be hungry
would you like to come with me I'm going
out to get something to eat he says what
it's like I'm going out to eat which I
like to come is it ok
since walking with him knife and hand
don't get too close they sit down at the
booth opposite each other and as they
sit down everyone comes over to this
Julio guy the the bartender comes over
and the The busboy comes over and the
dishwasher bounces out and goes back in
and everybody comes to say hello to this
guy like you own this place he's like no
he goes the wise it was saying hello to
you he's like why haven't you ever heard
to be nice to someone it's like I heard
of it I just never seen that and they go
and they have their meal and when they
finished a meal Julio the estart so the
boy says listen to me
I would love to pay for you
there's only one problem you have my
wallet what do you see you pass over the
wallet and I'll pay for both of us and
he says okay passes over the wallet he
goes in how about how about the knife ah
so he passes over the knife and he helps
the boy to rehabilitate himself the more
of the story of project inspire if
someone comes to mug you invite them for
Shabbos so understand this friends is
the following idea
we walk out we got to believe in
ourselves we have to believe in them and
when we talk about the concept of the
thought that counts
it couldn't be more real than to being
Makai rave bringing people close I want
to thank everybody here for coming and
all the staff again that's la araña
wasn't that crazy
