dialectic. I didn't remember. It's a big
thing. It's sophisticated.
>> Each thing has a space car
inside.
Okay, there's a lot. There's a lot a lot
I want to get to. They're all different.
They're all different areas and things.
Step number one is I want to welcome
Arata. He's [applause] here. I want to
appreciate
I want to express
I want to express it's Ryland's yard
site. We're sitting here because not in
our normal spot. I want specifically all
the learning we're gonna say there's a I
never even told from that I fix electric
I never told this never in my life I
never shared with because I wanted
it's a big deal there's a ver I'm going
to tell you Gabe I want you to remember
your whole life I want to share this
I want to share this with you but I
first want to express appreciation
has made a massive impact on our yeshiva
this year. He's uh it's funny we're not
[applause] in it's a very weird place. I
spoke about Ry Overlander that guys were
confused rebi Obi things are not so
defined here who's what somebody is I'm
not I I don't like that pretend of the
of like Rebi we're people we're human
beings go somebody calls somebody rebi
fine it's not like clearly defined I
want to say an ara he's a rebi here he's
a dorm counselor he's a he's also a bak
here his impact has been significant.
He's somebody who's been in the besh
hours and hours a day. He doesn't look
down at anybody. Typically somebody is
like looks at another person and you're
like hey I'm doing this what in the when
there's understanding and
so then we don't look at other you don't
know you don't know somebody's struggle
somebody's journey we don'tate in the
world of
is full of stories there's a lot of
stories I was I I played for guys
something in my car there's a lot of
stories of the y and the the town like
everybody laughed and he did one story.
Kbak has a whole story of aid who like
who who helped he helped the get married
and he was like at his lev he had like
the lev of
we don't have system we don't know
people's
we don't have a system now we certainly
have shas we want to be and we want to
do everything but we have to be honest
we don't know people's tik and somebody
does a pool and has a certain sus might
be saving saving the whole world. The
world ofidos
highlighted the value of of a pool of a
mice of a thing. When a person lives in
that honest space, you don't judge
people. You just don't know. You admit
you don't know. We really don't know. So
the way is other people is very very
deep and profound. himself he's pushing
himself demanding of himself but judging
others knowing I don't know don't know
just encouraging and looking positive at
people so I appreciate what you brought
the whole year you've made this place
his father pays tuition I'm not involved
in the mus if things were this is an
alma shikra if it was a real we if it
was an honest world the yeshiva would be
paying his tat take that to the tuition
committee the yeshiva should pay his tat
>> I don't [applause]
I don't think I don't want to make I
don't when we say it's an alma the
shakra to me it's not to become cynical
on the world I like that it's a world of
sheer it's the only world I want to live
in because here's an opportunity we
could choose sheer we could live sheer
it's cool it's amaz it's not as cynical
she I like you could you could be
dishonest here and it's such a space be
honest it's amazing I've I I spoke to
one of my kids for hours about this.
It's a very aggressive world. Anybody
Hashem made such a world. Look at the
animal. I like animals. I went to the
safari and four lions are eating a baby
a baby rhino. It's an aggressive world.
Hashem made that world. I see people
soft people, gentle people. They tend to
run from the world. If you know addicts,
they're the most gentle nishamas in the
world. Typically addicts are very gentle
nish. Now they disengage. That's the
mistake. Engage in the world. We need
the soft person. Bring kindness here.
Don't dis don't disconnect from the from
the world. I don't have deep opinions
about awask. I'm studying the sub. I'm
curious. I have seen benefits of
one-time use in the right circumstance
for especially for for OCD. I've seen my
I'm not here to comment on something
that's a complex. I get very nervous
when people retreat this world and there
are people who are part of communities.
It seems to me like the decision to
detach from this world I don't like
them. The soft ones we need engage now
people see an aggressive world. Hashem
made that and your job is to bring
kindness and sweetness in a world we are
yet to survive. The lions eat the eat
the rhino. Your job is to bring softness
and kindness and sweetness. So yeah,
there's a possibility of Shakare bring
MS here. I tremendously appreciate that
we have Arya here. I thank you for being
here today and joining Arya and just
appreciate your whole family a lot. I
want to express [applause] that as that
Ellie Goldberg is here. Ellie is from
the early Talmida.
I I all of us are have learned from each
other. There's a tremendous collective
wisdom here and a collection of staging
and growth. And Ellie is one of the
people who put this in the yeshiva. He's
absorbed and given to the yeshiva taken
from and the yeshiva. I'm just
tremendously tremendously proud of the
family he's building. His son binyamin
is three and a half. Don't forget the
half. And he's building a beautiful
beautiful family. And just appreciate it
that you came for the day. I'm going to
ask in a few minutes Ellie to share
something. Revzi will share something
about about Ray Olander
and then we'll ask Ari to make a sem my
rebi was very midas
has to be said
as a suda beautiful suda he'll invite
his friends tomorrow by lunch will go
out whether it's a little pasta should
be flesh unless you have an aversion so
the suda will be tomorrow by lunch we'll
invite
They used to celebrate for a week. Well,
like we get it. I want him to make the
now because his tat is here. But the
sudu will be tomorrow by by lunch.
If a guy didn't eat meat except mitzvah,
it's he could have a mitzvah tomorrow by
lunch. You're lad. They used to
celebrate for a week. We could do for 24
hours. But not as gishmakas. We have to
we have to as our hearts get open we'll
learn to celebrate longer.
>> I'm trying to get the information.
[clears throat]
>> So the where's the sin? We're going to
announce he'll announce tomorrow
morning. He'll tell
>> and his his friends are invited
in.
>> So we'll have a see him in a few
minutes.
>> I want to share I want to share the
following.
There's something I want to share from
the Bradesh. But the first thing is, did
you hear Gab's new song yet? Ezie,
Ellie, I pull Ellie, you didn't hear it
yet. I thought he
composed the last sing heaven knows
heaven knows heaven knows my name.
>> Did you hear it yet?
>> You heard it recently.
>> There's a newer one.
>> Get sick of it. Like,
>> have you heard heaven knows my name? He
needs an excuse to play. You know,
>> come Gabe, let's
have the guitar. Where's the guitar?
>> Yes, he come. Let's heaven knows my
name.

>> I heard you're happy.
>> You moved out. You [music] went to
college
away from town. It's kind of crazy
the way it all [music] works out.
We didn't grow up [music] in the same
house, but we're brothers. [music] So, I
want to tell you about something crazy
that I found.
[music]
It might be [singing] useless.
I might sound stupid [music and singing]
cuz I can't prove [music] it.
But I need to tell you
that [music]
there's a God and knows your name and he
knows your heart and feels your pain.
Oh, I wish that it [music and singing]
was something I could explain.
I can't, but I need to say there's a God
and he [music] knows your name and he
knows your heart and he feels your pain.
Know you might not believe me, but
either way,
I promise heaven knows.
Well, do you ever [singing]
feel that spark [music] that is burning
in your heart? Does it guide you [music]
when you're in the dark?
>> [music]
>> Oh, do you wonder [music] if there's
more to life? If there's an [singing]
answer [music]
to the great big why I believe [singing]
that there is truth to find. [music]
It might [singing] be useless.
I might [music] sound [singing] stupid.
cuz I can't prove [music]
it.
But I need to tell [singing]
you [music]
that there's a God and he knows your
name and he knows your heart and he
feels your pain. Oh, I wish that
[music and singing] it was something I
could explain.
>> [music]
>> I can't. But I need to say there's a God
and he knows your name and [singing] he
knows your heart and he [music] feels
your pain. Or you might not believe me.
But either way,
I promise heaven knows your name. I hope
that you hear this song and one day
[music]
you sing along
>> and together we'll say
[music]
>> there's a God and knows my name and he
knows my heart and he feels my pain and
it's not something [music]
I need to explain.
Oh, I just want to [music and singing]
say there's a God and he knows my name
and he [music]
knows my heart and he feels the pain.
Oh, I've [music] waited all my life to
say
that heaven knows my name.
Heaven knows [singing] my name. [music]
I've waited all my life to say
heaven knows my name.
>> How are you? [applause]
[applause]
>> New song. New song. New song. New song.
>> Let's get We have a few things away.
We'll get there. Keith
Hashem, Hashem tells me gave give back.
>> Hashem says to to Misha saying
speak to Aaron and his children are
telling speak to the Hashem gives a
there's a mitzvah one of the mitzvah one
of the 248
and Hashem says
are saying
as follows
shall you bench the Jewish people and
say to them
this morning we had four
and the have
and they're supposed to
now there's one word that's totally like
doesn't it's extra if you read the
on it there's a word that doesn't belong
the would have been perfect without this
word I'll read the whole
say to them
the word is totally extra is very
measured speaks exact that no extra
words by God. And he says,
say the following words
are literally like
this. It says
bench how gab is a hashem talked to you
said
and tell them you have a mitzvah to
bench
have a mitzvah
to give
in they do it every single day in do it
every
It's a we don't do it every day. It's a
we only do it on
if you ever have a chance to dab with go
once in a while. Goes
I try to go with the on on we all but on
we don't do it. So I go with the because
they every single day it's avid to get
benched. It could be the
mitzvah
for sure.
>> Why don't do it?
>> It's a big problem. It could be there's
not enough in
the
I have a guy in the who's a very
he's like he's a sad he fell very badly.
We have no kahan in blurage. I I bet one
day I'm gonna GET GABE. HE'S GONNA
HAVE NO I'm speaking to you.
>> A statement just
>> we need a kayen.
>> He's buying your house in Blueridge,
bro.
>> We need a but we have no right now.
>> And this Y is a very he asked me the
Shabas. He said Rabbi, he was completely
serious in full sincerity. We had
Shabas. He says it's the
Shabas. He was totally sincere. Gafriel
Lazarus, he completely was sincere. He's
like, "Let's do the we have let's go. We
missed the we missed PE. Let's go with
right."
>> He's It was like I What am I supposed to
say? Are you Why not? You can't give a
real reason that well we don't have
enough the famously wanted it's it's a
big shenan
I dare say seem right. They every day.
Why don't we do you'll go there a lot of
mile to go to tons and you don't need
this as an extra enough but you get
every day of course
why don't is very difficult reportedly
we don't have enough
the tried to enacting every day he
decided and the sh burned down
>> so the grass backed off so the backed
off that was a He felt that if they were
telling him not to. It is a lesson.
Don't start up with our not tough luck.
Gabrielle came up to me now. Let's go.
Like let's go. I was like I don't think
so. But I couldn't like say why not. And
he was right. Like he said,
"Let's go. We'll wash the hand." I
didn't let him. I we didn't do it. I
don't start up. I didn't want you know I
don't start up with Isra. What would you
have said? You know the
you would have let him do
>> what?
He's a
>> he's a right. He was like here it's
the word
the word is so strange like this. K
means like this. I wouldn't have a
problem if it was like you're saying
because it's telling us
God is saying to bless how so Hashem
says what to say what what the tell us
should guard us
should shine his countenance upon us
give us
but even if if you would say well the
means as such but it says
to me the word it's not me it's
okay skip the word
>> that's a good question that's a good
question very good question but I'm not
even up to what the bra is
like this what's the k the The word kai
is like no mash. It's a very weird word
in the tyra kai. It's a strange word.
It's an awkward word k. It's not even
how to say like this. You say bench
claw.
How am say these words? This whole word
ki is like awkward doesn't fit. What
does mean
even means like a mirror almost like
this. It's not even like it's not like
this. This is what you say.
Kai almost means like
K is like the word Kim means similar to
that's a weird K it's not it's not it's
this and it's very clear what to say
more they say
the even sounds the word is whatever it
says means similar to
the whole
It's this this is what you say.
So the word is like a very difficult
word. The said as follows.
This is what the said it's pretty cool
in the word. It's a big light.
>> This I'm going to explain. It says
means
and
bench. Okay. I'll give him more. Hashem
says these words. What's the What's the
What is that? Like this. It says
already.
>> So the
you had the question.
>> What's the definition of
>> as follows?
>> As follows. But but it's funny. It
didn't even say what the is yet. Like in
bench.
>> It's funny. K means as follows. But it
doesn't even say what the bra is. After
Hashem says Ben, she says what to say.
So the literally it's very I'm not like
forcing it to read the
iss
like this.
The balm was very very busy with this.
The bardich writes he says he was coming
he'd go around telling this to yiden the
the the bar saying that the balm this
was a big thing he was giving yiden the
bashem saw us as nish and felt the yid
should know his fire we're big people
anybody
no joke that's I promise it's not cute.
It's not funny. We're We have a body for
sure. Wonderful body. It's very useful.
Do things. We're
big. Big light
piece of Hashem. You don't like it, but
I I like studying on a guy who who's
who's difficult. Find somebody. I don't
have a guy here. I could use a son. Find
somebody who's hurting you, who's
difficult. He's an is
here. Whatever you say, he's so
annoying. He's so difficult. He maybe
he's not in touch with his nish. Maybe
I'm not saying he is. He isn't. He's a
big nish said just under. It's like a
crazy thing. A guy who gives everybody
problems. A guy who's like insul. He
makes fun. He's impossible. He he beats
everybody up. Whatever he is, he's a big
nisham. Yeah. Maybe he's not in touch
with that. Maybe he's confused. Maybe he
doesn't know his own light. It's cool to
contemplate this person's a big light.
He's namir. You try to see maybe what he
doesn't see but he's a big nishem
said she that it says
our shadow
a can tell him says I want you to
remember these words
say it after mem
say that
>> perfect what does that mean is your
shadow what is a shadow you show one
finger it shows you a finger two to it
shadows that mirrors what you do. Hashem
is your shadow. I want to try to express
the way I understand it what the balm
was teaching. David said, "Hashem,
Hashem's your shadow is as follows." I
want to say that we have crazy backing
crazy backing. I feel guys in yeshiva
is expensive. And I tell the guy
says, "Rebi can't afford $30,000.
I like it's it's a nutty world we're in.
It's crazy. I don't say we have support
for everything in the world. We have
very good backing here. We have a yidd
from the kindest people ever met in my
life and we want to do something.
Tomorrow night we I feel good that we
should have the last two weeks should be
a lot. Tonight I'm speaking in yeshiva 8
o'clock. I want the whole yeshiva there
as many guys can come 8:00 I will be
here. We're going to speak eight
tonight. But I want there are a lot of
things I want to get to the last two
weeks. I am Guri and Schlommo are going
to put a concert. Bring a whole band.
There's going to be a concert in yeshiva
tomorrow night. Everybody should come.
It's going to be very beautiful. Now I
want a concert. It cost a lot of money
to bring a drummer, a keyboard. It cost
money. We have crazy backing. We have
crazy backing here. Crazy. No text me
yesterday. There's an alumnist.
He heard that we want a piano in the
yeshiva. What type of piano do you want?
He bought it yesterday. A guy an
alumnness heard that we need a piano in
the base mish we need that sim should
play he said what piano you didn't tell
me he bought it this year bought a piano
we have very good what
>> in here

I have no idea a keyboard he has a
keyboard
>> recommended this type of keyboard so we
got
>> we have watch this we have crazy back
said
to knowm is your shadow. You show a
finger, he shows a finger. You show two,
he shows two. Aid has crazy backing
behind us. A person might say, "What can
I do already? What impact did I have?"
Hashem, Hashem's your shadow. What we
show, what we show, Hashem backs up.
Show a finger. Hashem puts a finger out.
Show two, he puts two fingers out. He
backs you up. And the yid has to know
that he has a supporter whose mom is a
shadow. What he shows hashem hashem
mirrors hashem mirrors means hashem when
hashem mirrors hashem's fingers
siph I I think ry overlander's story
people at his levas like friends of his
were saying the leva was the lev of a
god people when did this happen
>> it was ava you you don't go to such
things in your life literally people
were there so friends like when did this
happen over hashem backs you
You bring, you show, you want, you put
out. Hashem, Hashem is your shadow. Show
him one finger, he gives a finger. Show
two, he puts two. That's what Thank you.
That's what That's what it means. Hashem
there's a sing.
You look at basketball today, it's
crazy. I was a point guard. I threw I
was a good passer. Today the point guard
throws it up. It's nuts what the big men
can do. It's they take it from the
rafters. You don't have to throw a good
pass. You throw within. It's crazy what
they're doing. They're dunking at levels
that didn't exist. Mar, you see some of
these dunks. He's the point guard throws
up the ball. The big man comes from
crazy angles. They pull it ahead of the
rafters. They dunk it home.
>> What?
>> Pippen knot. It's a new thing this this
type of alley but I've never se it's
insane and it changes the game because
now when the point guard drives they're
always afraid the big man struggles to
come over because if he comes they just
lob it and the other guy it's mug now
they're they're they're playing at elite
levels. It's very cool to see the dunk
because that's what God is to us. He's
go he's my finisher. I throw it up. He
dunks.
>> He's the Hashem's the go. He's the
finisher. He's the great finisher. Just
throw a bad pass. Don't worry. He's a
gamer. He's a finisher. Show a finger.
He'll back you up. Show tool. Show tool.
We have a crazy backing. So dream. So
do. So plan. So unleash. We're We come
from big places. I don't know how to say
it different or better. Says says the
crazy. Hashem says give a
gay bench
said
to the by the way we're all
what's true about them exists in us all
>> but Hashem says to the give to
like what oh you should be said and
hashem promises the
you do
I'll give a I'll back up what you do.
You give a Hashem says I have your back.
You promise I I'm with you. I'm with
you. I have a friend who was talking to
a Yid to keep Shabas and the Yid said
exact his business. He was an accountant
and described that like it was like half
his pastor was from his weekend jobs.
The way it worked in his accounting he
would get jobs over the weekend. It
seems like the big firms weren't open
then and he would be available like half
his pineas he was he was he was not
American he was an immigrant and he need
he wasn't very gifted a lot of money and
half his pas was from weekends and my
friend went to his house said keep shops
so he had described his situation so my
friend called my rebi he said rebi could
I promise him that it can't be hashem
wouldn't take care you only gave us
could I promise him trying and you'll
make the money and my friend my my rebi
showed him and I don't remember you
could promise shabas
can't be you keep shabas you lose that
it can't be so my friend went back to
the and said I promise you it can't be
said it can't be that you keep shabas
you lose the yid said I'll try one
chabas I'll see what happens [snorts]
I'm making up numbers let's say he made
$1,000 on chabas I'm making up the
numbers
literally two jobs. He keeps shabas that
week might say Shabas. Shabas ends. He
makes Abdullah. Second after Shabas. A
guy calls up this Yid says, "I have a
thous I need a job tomorrow. I'll give
you $1,000 for a job." Immish made his
money in a second. But my friend didn't
want to just promise him something that
he couldn't deliver. My Rebi said, "You
can promise. Hashem will back you up."
The are told like
you'll be
hashem says I'll back you up. I'll back
you up.
That's what means.
>> Kai means like. What do you mean like?
There's what you're saying. There's an
echo to what you're saying. As he's
echoing to practice, there's an echo to
what you're saying. There's an echo. You
say a kite
similar to what you're exactly. No,
there's deeper there's there's a k
there's a deeper echo to what you're
saying. What you say, Hashem backs up.
We're a piece of Hashem. We have a right
to bench. We have a right to give. We
have a right to encourage and support
and Hashem backs us up.
You do it. I'll back you up. I'll bench
backing you up. That's what Hashem told
the
token this word. He says is this wild.
He said
is
who has the k behind them is the
foresh has this that we know backs us
up. What we do you put your name
we have a backing us up.
I want to express that when I see in Ray
Overlander is the power of one. The
power of one. What he did is wild for a
person who was lift young. The amount he
carried it's like a wacky story after he
passed. The amount of people who were
like calling lost was a crazy. We all
like the significance of how many people
he was present for in a serious way is
like wild. But the terror says there's a
You give I'll back you up. Hashem the
Bashem would like push and give and do
and shine your light. Hashem's your
shadow. What you give? Show a finger.
He'll show a finger.
>> So could you tight tight the How does it
tight?
>> He said k like this means besides what
you say there's an echo of something
like this you shall say. I'm there this
there there's going to be more than
you're saying. It's like this because
I'm going to back up in a much deeper
level. That's the karu
k similar to this bench. Put down put
down what you're doing similar to this
cuz I'm going to give a chef. You're
going to give this I'm going to like
similar to this say to them like this.
But similar is because I'm going to give
much much more based on what this
ted in the word. But the the even if
you're not masked in the word which I'm
struggling still the I'm struggling with
it. The very bench
I will bench them. The very that you
bench and I'll back it up. The saw is a
charge for every do. I'm backing you up.
Hashem's the you do I'll back you up.
And whatever you any light you can shine
I'll I'll back it up. and and and when
it's backed up by hem that's a that's a
light of [clears throat]
so I wanted to share this of the this of
the shine your light heaven shine our
lights shine our lights let it out let
it out I love when sings
>> the song that's like murder I'm not
telling you to sing it now I don't want
to hurt the throat the song that's
impossible to sing
>> spread spread love don't do it don't do
it don't do it don't do it but I like
the words I like the words. Maybe we'll
write a new song with those words. Maybe
maybe we'll do that. But I want to ask
>> I we're gonna do music soon. Take the
guitar. I want to ask I want to ask one
of the talander
as he's here to I'm calling Ellie Ellie
Goldber's here
>> and Ellie on any top. It could be a hair
a thought. I'm going to ask Ellie to
share something in a few minutes. Vzi's
going to share some blander. Arya is
gonna make to see him. There's a lot to
get to. Without further ado, Ellie Gold.
>> Am I putting you on the spot though?
>> Neighbors.
>> Are you a neighbors? I didn't know that.
>> Neil's neighbor.
>> Hi, Remy.
Good to see you. I'm getting a second
>> there are two conversations I think had
>> summoned in our history it happens I
think multiple times I don't think it's
just two the two that are standing out
to because one of them is in this week's
para
the first I believe it's first week
says that the reason why
last week's para is next to this week's
para of learning how to light being told
that his obligation is to light the
mikdish sorry
>> it's because iron when he saw him
bringing carbon ice he got jealous
he got jealous
And Hashem wanted to appease him. Hashem
said, you know, I'm going to give you
the mitzvah of lighting the
Hashem uses the lesson that by your life
I promise you, Hashem says the mitzvah
of lighting is better than all the
brought. That's what Hashem says and
it's similar talking about echoes. It
echoes a conversation that Hashem later
on has makar
talks about how
David
heard people in the town talking and
they were saying you know look we know
that his son is going to come he's going
to build the base of mikdash so they
were saying you know when's the old man
David when's he going to die when is he
going to be so that we could have mikban
ice
and hashem
hashem appeases David by telling you
know that one day of your learning, one
day of your Tyra is better to me than a
thousand carbon that Hashem is going to
that that your son's going to bring.
>> I think everyone
>> there are people who probably will say,
you know, we know there's no uh no we
don't know the scar for each mitzvah,
but Hashem knows. So Hashem's saying,
look, I know I'm the one who created the
world. I'm the one who created mitzvah.
I know that this mitzvah in particular
is going to be more and more valuable to
me than all the other mitzvah, then it's
possible we could say that. But I I
don't I don't think that's the case. I
that would really bother me if that's
what was intending.
I think this is my thought. This is
something that I I had a conversation
actually with someone recently about
this, but there's a Gariga
that always always really bothered me.
Gamar says that there are three people
that I call Jar from cries on every
single day.
Three people every single day spends
crying about them. The first one is
someone that is
sorry
someone who has time. He has the ability
to learn and he doesn't learn.
Hashem cries about that. There's another
person that says
he's not able to be he doesn't have a
time let's say Isaac but he's Isaac and
he goes goes out and he learns anyways
and brings out a third person someone
who uses his influence to do negative
things to the teboard that he's a part
of
>> the first and the third one I get I get
it someone you know doesn't have time
you know he's wasting his time so to
speak and not engaging in the things
that he could be engaging in Hashem
cries about that and the third one I get
also someone's using his influence to,
you know, not support the community, but
to do negative things to them. That I
understand. But the second one, I don't
I never I don't understand. The guy
doesn't have time. He's being he's busy
with things and he's sitting down. He's
making time. I would think he's sitting
down. He's learning. Why Why is Hashem
crying about him and you can't say
they're tears of joy? Can't say that.
>> Marshall, I think he brings down there
trying. He says you can't say they're
tears of joy because it wouldn't fit in
the context.
There's no context. The context says
they're they're tears of they're tears
of sadness.
>> Why is Hashem crying over someone that
doesn't have time to learn but he's
sitting aside and sitting down and
learning anyways?
My thought was
that because even though we say
we're not here to get scar in this
world,
we're here to doemat
doesn't always mean sitting down and
learning means doing rats on whatever it
is in the moment. Doesn't really matter.
It could be learning, it could be taking
I came up because I was talking to a
friend. I was trying to be frump. I had
a friend of mine. I was like, you know,
we don't we hardly see each other. Maybe
we should set aside cover. Let's try to
learn together. And he's like, you know,
look, to be honest, like I have a hard
time. Like I'm spending time with my
family. I'm spending time with my kids
and like I don't want to have time to
set aside time to go ahead and learn and
it reminded me of this part and I told
him I said thank you for reminding me I
should probably spend more time with my
family as well you know like sitting
here trying to make a a set s with you
and I think that goes back to what
Hashem's telling what Hashem's telling
David it's not about doing the thing
that has the most star it's about doing
in the moment
>> it's about doing in the moment and we
see this and we see this actually at the
end of the story the migilla as well
because ends when Mortifi takes on the
position of being the Lamela, he takes
on the position of working for King. It
says that he was right to the he was
beloved by most of his fellow brethren.
Most of most asked the question most of
his fellow brethren. So there were a lot
of people that Mortifi was part of the
Sanhedrin. There were a lot of people
who were upset at him that he left
seemingly to he left being part of
Sanhedrin and he went to secular things
and leaves it off there. That's that's
what people were excited about. I think
you could say a similar as well. The
idea behind what we're supposed to do in
this world is not what brings us.
We're not here to serve Hashem to get
star. We're here to serve Hashem in
order however it is that Hashem means
fit. And how do we know that? Where am I
right now in this moment? And if we live
that way, and I I truly believe it could
be part of what I took from Reb
overlander is this idea that we live
that way. And I think Pesky and Sneaky
were bringing it up a little bit earlier
today as well. Someone who lives in that
moment, what's in Hashem right now, that
everything works out. You're doing
everything works out. And there's no
need to seek out what's going to get me
more attention, what's going to get me
more. I think that's Chad Gomorrah and I
think that's also Chad and Rashi. When
Hashem tells iron, when Hashem tells
David, you know, I'm not here to, you
know, I'm not here to to get the thing
that's going to give the most. What
you're doing with your mitzvah, it's
more positive to me. It's more beloved
to me than anything else that anyone
else is going to do in the entire world.
Not just the two examples that gave
those two.
>> My
[applause]
thank you. Thank you.
>> Rezi, would you share with the
>> Yes. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> What's very interesting, Rabbi? Uh say
um appreciating
the life of this of this giant
Remy Ross and myself I think we were I
think Ross was there as well. you're
able to see, you know, re Revie said
about how
um it was confusing to many was he obi
was he a was hea
Manel.
[clears throat]
So we were to see
as a bach
in yeshiva and like the rebi said it's
not like a role you put on to be the
rebi role. Oh, I'm a Rebi. I'm a Rebi.
And I have my
you know like who you know what I mean.
Google sometimes you like encounter
someone who
is so sincere that it's like nothing
that they say or do. I love how said
today that I don't really have something
I don't have like a who?
>> Huh?
what what do they what they call he
called
said today how um I don't have like so
many varts I can tell you over from my
overland it's not what he said although
although I can tell you you know when
there was when it was a sheir both in
back in when he was in Mifa and later
when he was in doing the respark
>> the way the buck would flock just to
hear but I don't think they were going
to see Morty I don't think they were
going Rafy to what he said or even to
observe what he did
you know it's just who he was
and I think right Russ and I when we
were yeshiva we saw the rebby of the
yeshiva when he was a baker he was a
rebi
in a profound way first of all his
attachment to Torah was something was
something magnificent to watch I mean he
he he you know
was incredible you you know the young
the tamidar fully aware [clears throat]
that he was very busy later in life but
as a buck you know and he was like a
prince in in the yes is yeshiva as well
he was a big rebby to the bak huge uh to
the f you I'm saying to fellow bak
>> you over Russ you overlap with
>> no
come back
>> oh yeah right right something like that
I I wasn't with him you know I wasn't
officially there with him either but I
but no I saw him like visiting you know
when I would come by like a little beggy
remember.
>> Jealous.
>> So, um,
>> sounds
means it's not what he said, it's his
essence that said it, right, Revie? Cuz
who the who is extra
nightmare
because his essence said it. So, it's
who he was that spoke much more than his
words.
And um,
you know, that's really what we saw. And
I was I was a little before uh before
like uh when he was starting in the in
the morning a little bit. Um, so I
wasn't what you would call a Talmid the
way or Sniki was,
but we all I mean anybody anybody all
our all his friends all of us were tell
them and I never saw and there's all I'm
saying today
I never saw in my life another rebby
to that degree
of
The way talidim not learned from a revi
though they did
not you know just asked shilas though
they did
modeling their lives
who they married and the home they built
after their revi I I I I
don't I never I never saw it I don't
know if it exists but I never saw it
that's my hagus aus and I think it all
comes act to that idea.
You can't it's it's I keep you can't
work just by saying stuff you know you
preach and say the right things. I was
making, you know, I was making fun as
usually do like I saw a guy like giving
a speech, you know, there's like a
speech certain voice like
to point out something like that's not
how you I like so he's like a good he's
saying like a lot of good things
and and it makes for a very good speech
and the applause was magical, you know,
but I you know there's there's something
else called huh which I don't think
exists in that speech e type of speech
or type of person, you know, not that
I'm not, you know, trying to not maybe a
little I am, but I'm I'm I'm drawing a
contrast. I'm not doing it for the
purpose of not point, you know, then
there's somebody who who could never do
that. Then there's someone who just who
they are
and um that's what that's what I'm
remembering today. It should be a
tremendous
I want to ask [applause] you typically I
would I would have typically wait till
tomorrow because the sud is tomorrow I
feel like his father's here and I feel
at the yard side also it's appropriate
for see yeshiva sat and learned the
whole year I want to express a
tremendous appreciation to that he's
brought to [applause] the yeshiva
he's
learned on his own I appate what you've
done here this if I could ask that the
as well it's honorable and everything
that goes on
as well I'm sure you're allowed to you
could speak for a few minutes and do it
for
also be for
his precious I appreciate a lot what
you've brought here
of kindness learning and learning with
others and encouraging others you
brought a lot you've elevated this
yeshiva you've you've really made a big
impact so I'm going to ask to make the
again the sudo you'll bring the tomorrow
we'll bring the to somewhere for lunch
we'll spread the word but if you make
the now
>> um so originally I was going to make the
steam on p but then my grandfather was
ner a few days before so that derailed a
lot of things so this should also
for right overland my grandfather Udius
and then Aubar my mother's father
um
I don't know I don't really have much to
say just now I was like thinking how I
saw
like on Chavez on par's pen but like
um ties into like Miguel a little bit
that
Um
I don't know how to say it to like I
want it to be very clear but
I guess in penas penas famously um Khal
was getting we're going to like midan
and getting with all those women and
>> it started with um I mean and it was the
big like moment was Zimry right the from
Ruben
um he was the nasi and he was was one of
the minions
Kazi and Kas goes and kills him. So
>> both at the same time
>> I saw right kills.
So
I saw like was saying that like
knew that what he was doing was he was
going to be killed. He had no right to
kill Zimry for this and he was gonna be
punished whatever and he was doing the
wrong thing by killing him because you
have no right to there's how to kill
someone. You have no right to just go
and kill somebody.
>> So he was going and
he kills a guy was doing something with
a girl.
>> Yeah,
>> but you have no right to just do just go
kill somebody. Like who gives you right
to do that?
And I saw he brought down also there's a
major maybe or something that
>> I made a little
>> that Zimry knew that they were soulmates
that they were like that Zimry and Cosby
were actually soulmates. So he and like
he was holding in that world and he knew
that Cusby was his soulmate. So from his
perspective he's doing the right thing.
It's his other half and I'm supposed to
be getting together with her. So there's
like these two aspects of like on the
one hand like he's bringing out this
point that there's this terra of this
world and there's this terra of in
Hashem's world
and how Zimry in his like on this world
there were so many but
was saying that like in the what you're
doing for the future of college yeah
you're soul mates but what's going to
happen is that other people who aren't
soulmates and they're just going to see
he did it why And I Pinas on the other
hand though on this world he was wrong
for killing right how could you just
kill someone and he just but he's
thinking like I don't care if I'm not I
don't care this is so wrong like you
can't just do this he had he had the
future in his mind like Ellie was saying
like rats and hashem like he brought
some examples of like different times
where you could get like all from and
like no I'm not going to he brought
thought a story with Romero from
Schlanner that like he would always like
make sure the
>> what is
that he would always make sure the in
the town wherever he ate was very was
like a good hamster he would always
check out the check the knife
>> so one time he went to a town and the
was not like he saw that he wasn't like
the best
>> so he made a he asked the how much money
do you make a week the guy told him five
rubles so He um
so he made a meeting with like the
town's like whatever and he said can you
guys guarantee me that we could get five
rubles a week for the sh then he went to
the sh and said like like please forgive
me I don't think you should continue
being the sh but I like I have I I
guarantee you're pronounc like don't
worry right he's bringing out a point
like we could sometimes be very from he
could have been like no I'm not eating
you have to be fired gone to the whole
town you're eating tra you're eating tra
and he could have
gone home thinking, "Wow, I'm such a
like, "Wow, I'm so holy. Like, I saved
the whole town."
>> But like he'll go up there and Hashem
will be like, "You just like a
embarrassed this guy. He lost he lost
his porn because of you. He doesn't have
how's he supporting his family. What's
going on here?" There's a Torah of
of like down here with the rules and
there there's there's also we have to
take into account the Torah
in in Hashem's eyes of like the bigger
picture of what's going on and the
ishitzer in um he learns in McGillah in
the beginning of Migillah there's the
famous that uh walled city has PM
celebrates PM the day later than an
unwalled city. Um an unwalled city he
celebrates on the 14th, the walled city
on tanest on the 15th on the 15th. So
the ishmar learns that the walled city
is like a like that who learns is very
he's the he has a strong backbone. is a
wall. It's a walled city.
And Purim, he says, is like the day when
we're closest to now that we could get
to Messiah.
Um,
and he brings out this point that this
that this with the strong backbone was
very like he gets per celebrates Parma a
day later. the people who aren't as
don't have such a strong bone but they
they tapped in to the terra lala terra
of above they the unwalled cities they
celebrate Msiah first they celebrate
perm first which is like connected to
Messiah they're able to feel this
Messiah beforehand so it's like really
cool that like this yeshiva is like
We we're tapping into this terra of
above and like it's Messiah. We're like
>> we're feeling Messiah like before a lot
of people who are more walled cities. So
it's just a very cool point that
>> Thank you.
>> Yeah. [applause]
break down those walls.
>> You guys got to do most
>> fire.
>> Um, so yeah. So
>> yeah, stop blusting, bro.
um that the
Moshe spoke about the
it's a mitzvah to read about every right
time
that was
that you should ask and darian about the
Union of the day.
