what
[Music]
just I want to
give the last time I spoke here my GD
wasn't great at all some years
ago in the meantime I learned a little
bit more yish but I still I apologize
that I have to
speak in English
but I'm sure that by now even then
everybody understands what I'm going to
be speaking
about speak of it I haven't been here in
a long time and I'm very very happy that
she called me to come back I have one
memories from when I was
here I want to share with you some har
goes some feelings about where we are
what's going on
I'm not referring to current events I'm
referring to our relationship
with and I feel that I could speak very
openly and honestly
here
there and that I'm talking to people
whose hearts are open to receive these
things everybody here knows that
Theo used to go on all kinds of
mysterious trips
would
go he would go to the and he would and
he would point to this one to this one
to that one and we're
going
and all kinds of stories thees went some
to
go each time they went there was some
big mus some Li
that wanted them to see otherwise his
comings and goings were very mysterious
and private but sometimes he took along
some of
the so it happened that it was
once such a time and it was freezing
freezing cold in the winter over there
it gets very very
[Music]
cold
Andes went and he chose some of the we
going
and they got into a
sled and they went and they didn't know
where they were
going and they were going for a while
and they came to a big
lake Big Lake some place outside of m a
big
lake
and and didn't know what the r wanted
but thees said he wanted to go there
onto the lake which had frozen over was
frozen
now there was a minut in those years
maybe the peasants in in those places
still do these
things there was a minut in those
places that when when it was the time of
the Goa holidays in the
winter that they would go ice
skating they would go ice
skating and the children would
skate and they would etch into the ice
the
of and this was a big inion by them that
they would go ice
skating and and the K was for them to
make these suras of in the
ice to make it Salem in the ice that's
what they used to
do so obviously didn't want to see his
holy eyes shouldn't see such a
thing and the said I want to go over
there you see there a lot of people
there I want to go there said it's
better not to go
there go
there and they came to that place with
the sled they came over there and even
the go were very surprised that the B
was
there and the children was sking and
they were making in the ice they're
making Sal they're making Salem in the
ice and shes got off for this SL and he
closed his eyes and he was standing
there by
this by this winter
activity and none of the knew why they
was standing there and stood for a few
minutes with his eyes closed he was
sharling and then afterwards he told
everybody to get back into this SL they
went back to
me and obviously that was the purpose of
the journey
that's where they
went took them to see on the ice the ice
skating and making of in the
eyes and they couldn't understand what
that
was
so when they came back they asked thees
to explain what that
was and the says he didn't understand
that was the whole point of how going
you don't understand what that was he
said the GU skating don't understand
what that was
so said
this he said you know before that was
before that was ice it was
water and the said that the water water
is the source of all life in this world
they made a world where the water is for
growing for planting and everything that
we drink and we live everything comes
comes from the
wood but but that's as long as the water
is flowing and it's
warm but what happens what happens once
the water gets
[Music]
frozen once
there's once there's a care once the
water
freezes theem says it's just a matter of
time
until are etched into the
eyes and said
when people get
married when people get married at the
beginning so there are warm feelings
there are good
feelings and there's a in the
relationship and very often the same two
people who were living in a relationship
with which was alive which was healthy
which was
good but somehow over
time that River or that Lake of that
that marriage became
Frozen became Frozen there was a loss of
feelings tell
us means
also kous
coldness so once the winter comes into a
marriage into a
relationship so the bem said it's just a
matter of time until the two people who
once cared for each other are now
hurting each each
other are destroying each other we have
children have
children people have children the person
a couple has a child is so excited
everybody's so
excited and then if you look ahead 10 12
years could be that in the relationship
between the parents and the child
somehow the winter is also set into that
relationship and there that somehow has
gotten into that relationship where
there was once warm feelings and the
flowing Waters that were
alive and that now somehow it's become
Frozen and all of that of course is only
a maral there only emo
relationship we wanted to
teach know this says that not only is
there we don't know what these things
mean say
not only is there there also what say
there's something that's
called it's hard to think of right
now it's
hot does
mean again we don't know that
means we know that it's not
good so the say that
means the tius that a person has that
are inappropriate that are wrong there's
a fire that burns inside of a person and
those fires that are not right those
fires that are Unholy that are impure
that come from the CPUs and
the that those fires bring upon the
person after 120 this of
fire but then there's something that's
called a
geh a g of snow of
ice and I think in our generation there
are many many people who before 120 are
living in this Gehan of sh it's a g
of it's a gam where a husband and wife
have lost feelings for each other not
that they got for bit B to each other
necessarily although sometimes that tum
gets into the
ice parents and children
I I
remember many years ago I went to a big
s in
Williamsburg to speak to him about
something was bothering about my
son is fine
married at the time I was a little bit
worried I think we've been through that
many of us have been through that I was
a little bit worried and I went to speak
to this salic and I poured my heart out
and he took me to the window and he
pointed out the window and I didn't know
what he was doing it took 2 3 minutes
and he says you see the seed I said yeah
I said this seed that just passed
by the seed that just I said yes looks
like a fine Jew last week this y's son
hit him slapped his own father across
their face this
year and he says wait wait wait wait and
we I stood by the window with him for 5
minutes he was quiet he said look look
he says to me look give a kick look over
there see this SE
yeah this seat has two children that
left the house that are not in the
house and then he sat down he spoke to
me to give me
some a career is a that people live in
children are growing up in
a without the kind of warmth without the
kind of fire that they used to feel
and then when it comes
to when it comes to our relationship
with we're living in a big big
winter a long long winter with when I
say we doesn't mean
everybody when it comes to I'll give an
example when it comes to to
D the say there are three
Madre you have a Madre of a
person doesn't even notice doesn't even
realize that he's
ding sometimes you can be on a Friday
night and you're tired and you're not so
tired you
don't Friday night you don't remember
which which parish of creation you're up
to you don't know you got you know that
the words sounds familiar but you're not
sure which
par you're not really you're not really
focused at all on where you are that
you're you're not thinking that you're D
you could be in the middle of sh and the
mind is in so many different things
which the person's mind is so far away
you know
the gave him B welcome back
from and he said I've never been outside
of maybe a few little but I certainly
have never been
to said you
you dreaming about buying and selling in
the bigid in the big fair in life I just
wanted to welcome you back to B you were
very far away during sh you
like so one m is with a person is not
even thinking that he's D doesn't even
think that he's
d looks like this a little bit the I
don't have to tell you what's going on
you see what's going
on some of you are holding back from
taking out the machines for this few
minutes and this is everywhere across
the board you go to May you go you go in
Manhattan you go Brooklyn everywhere
it's across the
board in another world in another
world that's one M there's another M A
person who knows that he's daving he
remembers that he's daving
but he's not listening to the words that
he's saying or that she's saying not
paying attention to the
words just saying the words just saying
the words that's why a person can do
different things even though normally
they the women say that the men don't
know how to do two things at one time
you know a woman can take care of the
baby do other things men usually have a
hard time with that I forgot what they
call it there a multitasking I think
something like that multitasking men
have a hard time women can do a few
things at the same time men usually can
do only one thing at a time even that's
not so good vality but multitasking for
sure
not for sure but when it comes to it's
an amazing thing how a person can D and
do different things at the same time
every man can do such a thing can do can
and can do different things and can
think about two things at the same time
like the
ra the ra you know these were people
that had people that could do could
think about three four different things
at the same time by daving everybody is
a everybody is when it comes to so
that's a second M but at least this at
least he's daving and he knows he's
standing in he's standing in ding but
he's not paying attention to the words
that he's
saying then you have another M the S
saying you have a person who's talk
listening to the
words this is very good he's listening
to the
words and you know what he might even be
touching the
words now days you can get all kinds of
good
sedor with English translating from into
the English translating from
the you can get all kinds of SP books in
English and Hebrew and yish and Russian
and French and Spanish
explaining and what all the ding is all
about and how beautiful is and how
is you can get
everything the only problem
is that the person this person is
already where he knows he's Ding and
he's thinking of the words he might even
be thinking of a
good in what he's saying and he heard
good he heard a good V in Ding and what
it means the only problem is he's not
thinking
about with whom he's
speaking he's not thinking of the
he's thinking of a he's
thinking he's thinking of what the
is remember years ago I spoke here in
the mountains in the bungle count to a
large group of women was before
TI and and there was after this it was a
talk about Ding and there was a woman
that came to me and she said after the
she she said she wanted to say something
about her mother about how her mother
died and she said that when she was
growing up she always noticed that when
her mother her mother was a Survivor
from the old alheim she saw that when
her mother would D she would always have
a finger in this in the s in the master
she had a finger in the S and and and
she was looking at the ding and she
would F like this in the diving then she
would every now and then when she was
diving she go like this a little bit
higher than the S and then she would
come to and then she'll go like
this she go like this and then again
and when she got older she said she
asked her mother what are you how are
you ding like that with her what are you
doing so she says that I don't every
time I come to to the name of H I like
to touch the name when I come to hm's
name you you can't teach that in school
that's that's
sensitivity that feeling of being that
feeling of being of a devotional my
father's told me my father's from a
place I don't know if you ever heard of
it's called I don't know if you heard of
it a place
my father told me that he remembers when
he was at home that there wasn't a night
when he would go to sleep where he
wouldn't hear his mother either saying
oring and the way that she used to say
it and the way that she used to talk to
even during the day she would say things
to she would hear he would hear how she
would talk to
hm's there was a very very very strong
sense not only
that a I'm D B I understand what I'm
saying but most importantly C to whom I
talk it could be that this lady's mother
didn't understand didn't understand what
it means now
how I'm not going to test any of us on
that either what does it mean the words
what does it
mean could be she didn't know most
likely she didn't go most know most of
those most of those women didn't go to
some school and she didn't learn what it
she didn't know what it
meant but she knew who she was talking
to and she felt a relationship with the
one who she was talking to
with
the is to feel and to sense the presence
of there's a beautiful sentence that's
found in one of the letters of the k
he wrote in a
letter to a student of his it was a big
lambon he wrote to
him I don't think I have to T it to you
everybody knows here
the the main thing
is
remember you're sitting in your learning
12 hours a day 13 hours a
day remember
for who are you doing all of this for
whose sake are you doing all of this why
are you doing
this what's the T what's the purpose of
all that you're
doing it's WR down that once the gave
out instruction C that he wanted every
single man woman and child to come to
the big sh and it was like a Tuesday or
something it wasn't that he hunted
everybody should come to sh and is is
already a larger place and and there
were thousands of people in the sh
outside the sh on the streets they
didn't know what they ever wanted and
they were afraid maybe who knows there's
something bad that he saw coming up and
why everybody came
together and and it came to the time
said and he went up to the beam and he
was was wearing a tow over his head and
they didn't know what was going on and
the B just looked at it he looked around
for a minute and he said to everybody
you don't
forget don't forget that
there don't forget there who was he
talking to he was talking to find
Jews he was talking the Jews who
probably put on Thomasville who went to
the mikah every
day who will
learning who find upstanding eloh
but the B was already feeling back then
so long ago the
coldness of that icy lake in the Ukraine
in that's
why why do he send the life of into the
world if not if not to thow the Frozen
River if not to bring us back to that
relationship withes which is
is what
said now let me explain this a little
bit let me explain a little
bit how could it be the Jews who are
keeping
every try to keep
every and not only that but they keeping
old them and hugging tried to keep old
them and hugging nowadays people keep
much better than they keep and said that
if it would say certain things that it
was only if it wouldn't say only say
that it was a minute of somebody's re
did that it would be much
better you have all kinds of schoolers
like it says brought down it's brought
down know
himself said but when it comes to the
school of not speaking says it
says that's not so much that's SCH it's
an easiest school to go for 30
seconds so we're living in a time where
people
are be
all and they're very very careful when
it comes to the with all they try to
keep every
minute and yet when it comes to what
says for who are you working what's the
T of all of
this here there's a big problem
there
the the t is explaining
the which we just
L which means to return to come back so
the over there
asks what does it mean the
what does it mean to return
to you could only return to someone when
what when it's possible to go away from
someone
but there is no place where hasem is not
there Hashem is BR us
everywhere so the T he asks a very basic
question what does it mean to return to
what does it mean to do
CH what does it mean to come back
him
obviously we have an answer for this but
the goes into very much into
pus and the tiny explains in a very very
beautiful and deep
way that there are two types of
relationships there are two types of
relationships one relationship is called
P or in
yesterday's face to
face that's one
relationship the time he says another
relationship is
called back to
back there's a relationship that's
called p face to face
but two people are looking at each other
in the
eyes and there's a relationship that's
called back to
back now the T explains over
there I'm using my own M to explain the
says but you look look you'll see there
but I'm using my
own and he
speaks but the simple simple explanation
of what's beneath the explanation of t
for people like us is you could have L
going back to relationship between
people you could have two
people they live in the same home they
share the same address for 30 40 50
years and they have children they have a
family they
have and
I did you take care of this did you call
that but the whole relationship
is is back to back it's not
P because P like it
says you know that when you when you
care for somebody when you look when you
when you love somebody you look at that
person in the eyes we're living in a
time where people can't do that even
during a she like this right now there
are people who can't even look at me in
the
eyes and I'm not a threat at all I'm
going to leave here in a few minutes
never going to see oh how will see each
other good places you can't look at me
in the eyes you could talk nowadays to a
person and while you're talking to him I
kick that H in the hair he's already
looking other places and if he's not if
he has nobody he knows in the room then
he's ready he hear something here he's
buzzing here it's going like that that
if this guy would walk out in the rain
he would get electrocuted he's got so
much going on and and he's and he's got
all those machines and why you talking
to
him I've seen this time while you're
talking to the guy he's looking at
something going up and down I seen this
I don't know if you've seen this if
you've ever done this yourself I've seen
this already not only by this is a long
time for that you see by by
the which if you learn this you know
what's the meaning of the biggest This
World by and you see people sitting by
the up and down looking CU you walk and
you see the P you know it's dark and you
see The Shining faces of the people
sitting by the H I've seen this s by
eyes the first time I saw wasn't just by
I saw I saw even by the Kevin somebody
stating maybe a little bit more than
from the K he was like this like not
from the find out there another sh you
understand standing by the Kev because
who knows what's going on in the stock
market he's standing by the
Kevin he can't even be in that place in
in that time of his life
he can't even be he can't even be in
such a way at that
time him
means that you have a relationship
you're able to talk to some you're able
to look at the person in the eyes the
person is important to
you what he's saying means something to
you you want to condem NE to that person
there's
his in the T itself talks about the
difference
between between a stranger or even a
rebi teaching Tor to the boy and the
father teaching t to the boy and the
Tanya says that when the father learns
with his son it's in the way of his and
his
means and that's how
not when someone's talking to you you
look at your machine you're looking in a
safer when someone talks to you you look
at them in their eyes that's a
relationship their parents and children
that they're together 10 15 20 years
they love each other 100 everybody loves
everybody everybody loves everybody but
it's not
P it's not
real it's shallow it's superficial it's
empty they talk about Nish K and when
each one's talking they look looking
here and they're looking here and where
do I have to go to what I have to
do but
not face to
face that's a relationship of a of love
that's a relationship of his SC with his
a not a relationship with a holding on
to a Blackberry or a cell phone while
you're talking to somebody or two
Fones I'll be with you in a minute but
to always say to the child yeah yeah
yeah minut a minute a
minute and to live that way and we're
living our lives in a way that's not P
upon that's called the
says back to back could be the same two
feet away but it's a world of
indifference two different
relationships a relationship of P upon
when someone talks to you you talk you
look in the eyes you talk you discuss
you try to see what's that person
thinking what is that person
feeling you heard of
the said I'll tell you I learned what it
means I learned in a a bar from two
drunken Russian peasants what it means
to love a
Jew what's that so the re said that I I
was once going and I had to stop over
there with the my trip and I went into a
crch and I come there and these two G
are drinking the two Russians are
drinking and one says the other eigor
Ian whatever they're called one says to
the other
Igor do you do you love me so he says to
him friends for 25 years 30 years best
friends of course I love you so they
make have a drink again pour a drink he
asks him again you love me I told you a
friend's best friends 30 years
this happens a few times they don't had
to hold their liquor over there and then
finally Ivan says to Ego you don't
really love
me he says why are you staying there I
told you were're best friends for so
many years he says he don't love me
because if you love to me you would know
right now what's hurting me what's
missing in my life you don't have a mus
you don't understand what's hurting me
right now in my life you know how many
wives feel that way you know how many
times I've sat in my office in this
School in New York and I have a husband
wife they they come talk to me she calls
me can we come to of course come they
come and and while and while they're
sitting in front of me I'm not saying
this happened once and I'm not saying
twice dozens and dozens of times over
the
years it doesn't always work this way I
would say 90% this is how it looks 90%
what happens is they sit down he's
looking like this looking at my
swor looking at the
stor oh oh he's looking at this far and
then he looks also at his thing a little
bit looks at the watch and I'm waiting
for somebody to say after something to
say what's going on they wanted to talk
to me
so I'll turn to the man cuz I figured
that's the most uh Snee way to start so
I'll say to the
guy why did you
come I'm telling you the truth this is
my business I do this for a living 90%
of the time this what
happens I don't know she wanted to come
doesn't even say her name hey I don't
know she wanted to come so then I go
over to she
okay do you know why you came if both of
you don't know why you came then we
finished why did you come so she can't
believe it she's looking at him I can't
tell if I had a camera to take pictures
of this she looks at him and she says
she can't believe it she say my you
don't know why I wanted to
come because no why don't you say why
why we had to come she says you don't
know
why he said no no I know you're upset
you're upset she's
upset he says why I don't I don't take
care of things I don't make a FASA I
don't do what I I don't help with the
children and she's just shaking her head
the whole
time and she'll say something like no
you make a very nice
pronounce and you help with the children
come well be help for the
children yeah you're not a bad
guy but I have to tell you I was looking
for something else in our
relationship and that you don't
understand at all you don't have a sense
at all of what I'm talking about and he
sits he say he gets uncomfortable he I
don't know what it is I try to be nice
and she and and and he doesn't get
it he doesn't get
it when she trying to tell him is that
for the last 20 years you're nice to me
we have you make a p you're good to the
children but a little bit a little bit p
p I'm talking to you
straight I'm talking to you p p a little
bit p p a little bit heart sick a little
bit something real to have between us
yeah pick up the kids and do this and
get
that you
know the told us how he feels we don't
need to figure it out the
says the T brings
a what does that mean it
means that we turn our
back we turn our back so T says you look
the there's relation Rel that's what
he's talking
about doesn't mean that a Jew doesn't
keep
we're not talking
about we're not talking about someone
put every
day so what does it
mean
means that yes you keep
Shas and yes you put on Trill and you do
all of the chores around the house and
you give a lot
of and you and you you go to the
and you D every day three times a
day you do what you're supposed to do
just like husband wife he says I don't
do what I'm supposed to do and she says
yeah you do what you're supposed to do
so what's wrong so
says and
means that I was hoping when I gave you
the Torah when I gave you the Tor in
such a way
says I wanted to have not only that you
do what I tell you not only that I do
and you do and that we have jobs and
chores but I want there should
be Cas I want there should be a
closeness there should be a Cas should
be a upon
upon this should be with a herish with a
feeling with a
connection with a
drers and that's missing
and that's what that woman is crying
about in the office she's saying you
know what I'm happy to cook I'm happy to
clean I'm happy to do everything all the
that it says the M that I'm supposed to
do I'm happy to do
everything but after a while you begin
to feel like
a if a person doesn't look at you p a
person doesn't give you the respect the
the love a feeling that there's a
relationship upon Him upon him after a
while you feel like a
and that's for a good husband I'm not
talking a bad
person sometimes it's the other way I'm
only saying 90% I didn't say
the so it's emotial because all of our
relationships in this world are emotial
to our relationships
they turn their backs to me they keep
all the
MIT they do what they're supposed to do
which
is you shouldn't take that for granted
that's a big inion and everything goes
on the scorecard the big scorecard
everything goes on the scorecard but the
says I was hoping for
more I was hoping for a different kind
of ding not only to TCH the words but to
also think about who you're speaking to
I was hoping that should be more a
relationship upon upon him because the
tell us there are two types of two basic
types
of there's that's
called means
intell and there's that's
called I guess we can translate as
experiential
feel and when
this who told
me that he met a person in
y who wrote a 500 page book a professor
in
y who wrote a 500 page book on the High
original on the original you had a 500
page book a study of the original's life
and teachings about a book on the
Orion and it happens and this person is
sh the one who wrote the book he teaches
in the Hebrew University I think and
he's sh
Miss and he wrote a book on
the so this person who I know met this
fell he was introduced to him and they
were talking and he said that he wrote a
book on the vision wow he wrot 500 pages
on the
vision he says tell me something did you
ever go to to a
Tish we have here in there's A's a be
the do you ever go to a dis he
there's a you ever go to a Tish he says
no no no that's
not so here he writes a 500 page book
about you understand like somebody
writes a book that's called the
Encyclopedia of love but he never loved
anybody so this person writes an
encyclopedia On the Origin he never even
went once to a Tish he never felt once
what it's like to sit there byic he
never never never gave a committal you
understand he's a professor
in he's a professor in the original he
became a maven in the original he never
once never for out the original which
not M the original he never once even
want to sit by a dis nowadays to have
even the
slightest for it
means which is hard for us to understand
but he writes an encyclopedia on
Origin because there are two types of
intellectual Faith which means that you
don't really feel that you don't really
live with it's something that you know
about and you think about the fact that
you know something does not mean that
you
have it means that you know that this is
something which is
good but it doesn't mean that you feel
it at all it doesn't mean that any of
that ice in the relationship between you
and has melted that's called it means to
know
something
what's with a with a feeling that's
point of a upon and
means I'll tell you what it means the
was once with a big
Lambda and the L was wanted to know what
the's definition of what's am what's am
l call L Professor now profess so
he what does it mean by you what's
what's you tell me so Lon said there a
she Hol like this and like that and says
like
this says like that and he goes through
the and he gave a half hour 40 minute
lecture
what's and he says andab what's how do
you define
am and says I don't know all of these
things says I'll tell you what right the
feeling that I had when my mother was
holding me in her arms that I trusted
that she would never dropped me that I
was next to her and that she loved me
that's
my that's what it means now you know
going we knew all of
that but the London
the definition
of what I
understand what I
think that's that's all good it's very
good to know to
know terrific but says tell me what does
it
mean means that feeling of trust and
love that feeling that my mother's
holding me and I don't have to worry
about anything that's said that's what a
is to me that's what a is to
me so how do we cross over it's only 5
minutes left I'm talking too much how do
we cross over I everybody's busy here
today I know it's going I don't know
what to
do how do you cross
over from
and this will work with relationships as
well but we don't have time to go into
that we're talking right
now so of course you don't need me to
tell you any of this and everybody here
knows that the give us many many
AES I'm only going with what I saw and
what I see by my mother and my father
they should be well and I heard about
and what I saw
from a little bit that was to
see and there's no time to go into it
and to start quoting from the SW and so
on and so forth we don't have
time it's very simple because we're
talking about something very simple when
a person is about to do something
instead of just saying the
words he says
I'm giving you an
example I know that your m is here with
me this second your m is here with me
this
second and I know that you're listening
to me and I know that you love me and I
know I know that if you want me to be
what I'm going to do now what I'm going
to do now if you want me to be I'll be
and if you don't want me to be I won't
be therefore asking that I should be H
the I should be worthy in your eyes to
be
my now I've heard my parents talk this
way not those exact words I made it a
little bit more
sophistic you also heard this I'm not
the only one that heard this we come
from similar
places to talk a certain way
says but a person during the course of a
day every single day of his life doesn't
go a half hour should be really
shouldn't be 15 minutes a half hour out
without talking to
the not just the
way and I'm not talking here about all
that
means I'm talking about just plain and
simple wrote
about I'm not talking about deep
things the only way that one can begin
to have a relationship with
if you can give me if you can give me
five more minutes I'm going to tell you
something you know they had a big
there's there's a big tumul right now
about everything that's going on with
the internet everybody knows this I can
say and I'm proud to say in front ofes I
never ever touched in my life I never
touched the keyboard of a computer and I
don't intend to help me I hope you doubt
for me I never touched it in my life all
right I'm not I'm not I'm I'm not in
sales you understand I don't I don't
people that have to I have to but I
never touched but I deal every single
day with people who are being destroyed
by
it and and there's a big big need
obviously for all kinds of new
technology and new filters to
protect to protect AAS from from what's
going
on but I wrote an article about this and
I got some people upset and I've been
talking about this for the last couple
of years
and I find it to be unbelievably
frustrating because my feeling is that's
that the main point is is is being
glossed over missing the main
point and I'm not smarter than anybody
I'm just trying to talk to people like
myself to understand whether this is
crazy you have to have whatever filters
you can have and whatever a there
is to use whatever
there's no
question but it
says don't behave
like it goes on the turn
to keep all
the that a person should
do and live in
them and then the T goes on and
says then the go
the of not doing things you're not
allowed to do men and women
so what's the
question so the Torah over here is
telling us the par of
eyes you can't do this you can't do that
why is it the gives to
the why is
gives to
say you can in the of Shas you can you
can in the of
you can say any you
like over here the
why learns that is talking
about that if you keep the
youn like
that telling you
those talking of what meaning it's
talking about this world says the next
world
if you be a good boy and a good
girl after
120 doesn't like that says that means
that in the MX that you keep in this
world in the fine it's talking about
this world and the to be
with so why does it say that
the why doesn't it say that
is
thing and then the
whole so I think that the Torah is
telling us something very very
clear the Torah is telling us that if
you're and you don't want to come into
that not God forbidden person and not on
some machine you could buy all the
filters in the world you could you could
have more filters than than the computer
I don't even know I never saw filter is
you could do all of these things and
when it comes down to it it'll help it
could help but when it comes down to
there's only one to be a and not to fall
into these things and that is what is
that of
what but if your is without if your is
empty and dry without any life if your
is it's not the same way you could have
a husband or wife when it's can look at
other things and other people other
women because there's
no but when there's listen to the ra the
ra says at the
end the says that a heart that is empty
of that mind that heart that is empty of
drifts off into the world of our
eyes so for years on begging and
screaming I'm talking to my I understand
get all the filters but if you don't
have a relationship with if yourish is
boring is like the the lake back in
that's frozen over
[Applause]
then then you can have a person who goes
to the mik in the morning and an hour
after the mik he's already finished ding
an hour afterward he's already cheating
somebody in business where's the
Bon he's ready dishonest in business
that by the Govern we have a reputation
of being dishonest
people that I had somebody told me he
won't do any business in a certain
Jewish neighbor unless they give him
right on the spot because he has to
otherwise beg for three four years to
get paid a guy told this to me who was
delivering something to the
sh cuz I said how they were asking half
the pen he says over here we could talk
but I'm over there I deliver I only take
cash because you know what cuz I'm it's
all kinds of games I have with them all
the years and so you can say that's not
dis he's not in
or maybe he is but that's not an
argument for
now how is it possible because he keeps
this he goes to the there's one thing
that's
missing will you steal will you take
where you dishonest you make all kinds
of
games because 80 years ago our parents
were living in Europe and the Govern
doing this to them and that to them
therefore we're going to take from
everybody and what's the explanation
if
you're if you're living
with and you feel
Mish you feel that his m is here with
you you can't touch somebody else's
money it's a
girl you can't look at something that's
not yours you can't look at the internet
who would see who would look at such a
thing who would look at such a thing
who's interested who's interested in
that the
says a heart that's empty a person who's
not attached to he's open to anything
wide open so now we going to do what
filters what about filter inside here
how do you make a filter inside of here
you can't buy that in the store you
can't order it online a filter inside of
here that's a filter inside of here that
you can't
buy everybody here knows with was with
there's a par that came to the and and
he was very very sick and you know the B
was famous to cure people and the PS
went to the B and said he was very sick
the looked at me said listen to me he
said to the P you're doing all kinds of
disgusting things and that's making you
sick meaning G in and it's making you
sick so you
know and and and RAB says you don't
you're not tempted to do these
things you know you don't have a TI to
do these things and he was sitting there
with his grandson the
and said to the guy he said no I'm an
old man I don't have I'm an old man the
PIR understood he walked away and then
the re asked his grandfather he said why
did you tell why didn't you tell him the
truth why did you tell the guy that
you're an old man you don't have TI Why
did you tell him why don't you tell him
the truth that you that you
m why don't you tell the truth
that why don't you tell the go so said
I'm going to explain a understand what
it means to be a and he told us many
years said and understands what a
is
understands but if you're not tapping
into that then every fil in the world
when it comes down to it if it's a bad
day and you're having a hard time and it
didn't go so good with the life at that
time in your life and every fil in the
world is not going to save
you there's only one thing that's going
to save you and that's a and
that's that's if your
is
talk and you live with him every minute
of the day and you care about him you
think about him you talk to him every
minute of the
day this is what got me into trouble
because it sounded like I was saying
something against the filters or against
yif or
something so I'm not against anything
that could help that's not the point the
point is that our children from the time
that they're little they have to feel
that there a very and they have to hear
their parents talk our parents spoke and
to feel that and to see that and it
should be part of their lives otherwise
what's going to be from now if they have
these machines now what's going to be
come soon what's going to be with other
machines and new machines every week
they put on a new machine so we're
running around with new filters no wait
wait here's a new filter for that new
machine but when it comes down to it
when you buy
yourself who's going to help you it was
always the same thing and in early
Generations they also had they didn't
have it was always one answer the answer
is
the answer is the answer
is that's why it's in
the then you all come to the
next let me end and tell you a story for
a minute I'm sorry it's late I wrote
this story in that article I heard this
from my daughter s she should be
well I don't think it ever happened but
it's a beautiful story and it's
AO many years ago the 1800s there was in
London they had a big competition to
recite poetry they like to do that I
know they still do that Americans like
to play football and the British like to
recite poetry so they had a a poetry
recital it means that they have people
competing and they say poems the judges
give them poems and each one gets up and
he says you know you know how British
people always s intelligent even they're
saying something that's not intelligent
so they have to recite a poem each one
recites a
poem and and then the judges decide
who's the winner okay so this gone on
for a long time hundreds and hundreds of
people in this big Auditorium and they
have this poetry each time a different
poem and it comes down to it to the it
comes down to a couple of finalists to a
few
finalists and and now it comes down to
these finalists the last three the
judges assigned the poem what the poem
the 23rd psalm we call
that the 23rd
is my shepherd so they go they go oh the
Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
though I go in the fields of
pastures they say the whole poem each
one so there's a young guy and he was M
he said it so beautiful and when he was
finished everybody is cheering and it
was clear hands down this was the win
okay the judges are about to give the
prize all of a sudden all of a sudden
from the back of the auditorium they
hear somebody calling out with a heavy
Eastern European accent judges judges
can you let me try and they see there
was an old Jew with a Long White
Beard could you let me
try so you know they're very proper over
there at least then they were and uh
they thought it would be an interesting
way to end the evening yeah so they said
all right okay Rabbi you want come so
the he goes over
there and he stands over can't believe
this these
G sitting there and he starts to say in
broken broken English all kinds and he
says the in the beginning they had like
this little smile by the time that by
the time he's finished the people that
are crying they're so moved by it
they're
crying and Silent they give the they
give the prize to the uh to the young
guy and and everybody's walking out and
and the young guy runs after the the old
Jew the winner runs after the old Jew
and he says you know Rabbi the truth is
that the that the prize belongs to you
you're the winner so the rabbi said I
wasn't in the competition you did a
beautiful job you won I wasn't in the
competition so the young guy said the go
said tell Rabbi why is it that when I
when I said the 23rd psalm why is it
that when I said that everybody was
clapping but when you said it the people
were crying why is that so the old Jew
said to him you know you did a nice job
but there's a very big difference
between me and you he says what's the
difference so the Jew said so I know the
sheph
hasm Ro hasem is my shepherd I know him
we have a c we have a relationship
that's the
difference we can live our lives either
as
reciting or we can
live that is
our Our Father our that's the choice
that the whole comes down to
this should help us these last few
minutes
of now in a good time of the year it's a
time each and every one of us that we
should to know the truth and to live the
truth
of to see that
day for
