Shifchi Kamayim Kolech - with Rav Shlomo Katz and Rav Dovid’l Weinberg

open [Music] please sing with us [Music] shall [Music] know [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I call we [Music] over over [Music] we're very blessed to continue the end of this evening with us reading another piece of of the G so I want us to open our hearts and hear the past few days both took trips to Kaa Reon only reason I'm mentioning it he sent me a video of uh of himself with a a family of one of our dear students friends who was getting well little by little God and there was a picture of him sitting with the family with the guitar so I thought to myself more the as you know maybe I could bring a guitar tonight I thought and I mean it seriously my wife and I spent a combined wife and I combined together you know first her and then us together for sure more than a decade maybe getting close to two decades in in Camp Hask for another good friend of ours is right now and campas if you go to campas so you can go Tish you can go tomorrow and they'll be music playing and part of the reason is because as everybody knows there are certain places in the world where Gula already came and also from a very technical perspective because there's a hether it's a long-standing he it goes back to different RAB who served and Camp has but the prohibition of music during the 9 days is not subject to the general idea of a therapeutic newu a person is receiving some sort of therapy whether it's Physical Therapy whether it's emotional therapy music is something which there's a hether for for such a thing and so it's P it's so obvious that a family that's fighting for every breath and someone who's just Awakening from a state of being in a coma for a little bit that needs the help of music to bring of course of course you bringing guitar and so even though it sounds like a joke I I second guess myself to I bring a I bring guitar here for the therapeutic M that we need that all of us need a little music in order to pick up the broken pieces of each of us that are just lying on the floor the Rin on about whether the main Shir the main song When We Sing a Song is the main song done with instruments or is the main song with one's mouth the ones who are singing or the ones who are playing the instruments or can you have you know can you have someone like me playing instruments inash even though I'm not a lady and the that the she is the the main Shear is the and one of the reasons as the sh and others point out that ikir is theet is we have this strange feeling when we come to one of these little islands of space where we're not allowed to play instruments we feel it much stronger an instrument is there to support the voice usually and in the Bas of are instruments to support our voices but when you strip away the instrument and you strip away the that security blanket that you're holding in order to mask the intimacy and the the terrified little child who standing and bearing their voice voice the EMS and you take away that instrument you realize that the voice the P the is is the says you realize all of a sudden when you strip away the instrument you realize that the is also a ple for something much deeper that in the same way that the guitar or the violin or the instrument serves to support the voice when you strip away the instrument you realize okay now this is an instrument which is supporting something and revealing something that otherwise I wouldn't be able to reveal so the opportunity to which is not a common it's not something that I'm used to at all to sing theim without the help without the aid of a piano or the last time I was here in any official capacity was August was October 3rd October 3rd was the last time I was in the show upstairs remember that before the whole world turned upside down October 3rd and there we did something where we had also unusual I don't usually when I'm in a capacity of sharing TOA and tilila in public space like that poor guitar as my children say poor guitar or piano not either or or guitar or piano but not both and so last time we had two instruments and this time we also have two instruments there's an instrument of the pet and there's the instrument of the heart and the Kish hasem that's emanating from this building always good especially today I walked in I said you Mayan I have to decide right now whether to go to this or that like every single one is like amazing and I want to go to all them and will be able to listen to all the recordings but to be able to sit here all together and to sing together and to be Malala our to reveal our heart and to show that the ikir is really believe to do that in a place like this all the work has already been been done it's just for us to open our mouths let the she of the pet Gala she of the heart [Music] my [Music] [Applause] know [Music] the [Music] my I [Music] did [Music] I [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] my [Music] you [Music] I you [Laughter] [Music] la [Music] [Applause] [Music] la [Music] sh by [Music] in [Music] see the [Music] see [Music] hallel hallelu [Music] I shall not change [Music] is [Music] is is [Music] la la la [Music] think I'm not sure 100% I think tonight is he said [Music] of that's to explain my sister and brother-in-law bring morning so the night before bris is old custom cish means night of watching the night of watching of her child that's about to enter to brist you you have all the little children come around and being a little child has nothing to do with what year you were born in you know as far as I'm concerned and The Gather the the children around the and as far as I'm concerned also the baby doesn't have to be in the room because you can be there also and and gather around together which I hope will Lan with the Tom ell hope we don't not Lan it I hope we Lan it with the Tom not in the way that we always Le just like the by you know father explains a lot the r of my of my community where I grew up not sure what the custom is here but the my community was from first person named after and he didn't let us he you didn't let mer of boys land and the this is because like you have you know some 13-year-old kid chewing out the rest of the kah it's like probably not so nice you know like all of you you know I've been keeping misses for 5 seconds and telling everybody you know how they have been doing a good job it's not so nice but the deeper explanation I believe and he never said this to me but I believe this to be true is that the deeper explanation is that he didn't let the barito boys L he made their fathers read the because when you hear your father the it's a different thing and the same thing with know there's a we read every year in the third par it's a famous it's for for people like us and I speak at Liberty here for all of us you know for people like us sitting in a sh like this it's like one of the hardest now not when we're reading about historical things obviously they're much harder but now the of what is that it's hides himself in a cloud and doesn't let pass through that closes the gazes that I'm not interested today having a conversation with you was like if you're a person who enjoys and finds solace in finds sanity in and then you read a like that that closes the door he goes in the cloud no no T is passing through today it's a hard when you read with the Tom you can understand that there's still something the Jewish people have and that's something that the Jewish people have is shma the thing that we have is I mentioned before I was in by the hospital brother of this Soldier came and showed me a safer that was drenched in blood from this and he told me he said Benji likes his sarm to be like written on like very colorful so and I wrote in the saer because he said he likes that I wrote it we should finish the sa together he was on page 113 a lot more lot more pages in that book and we should be able little learn together entering into a bris of first thing we tell the child is that there's something called sh wrote a lot about this I'm not going to give a whole thing sing about make in a second but Sal WR a lot about this about the the difference between shma and it only works there's all these different things the r has like a million different things like you need to have go needs to be a certain way your needs to be a certain way it's different level of kavana and orientation of your body so many different things in order because if you're not is not feel shma you don't have to be standing in front ofm is when you don't feel like you're standing in front of hmma is for when you feel like you're you've already been or you're about to go under the knife in an operation in a bris and you feel like you're in in the middle of that operation we're not in the yet and when a person feels like they're sitting in that place of an operation ongoing and hashm is hidden in a cloud and there's no way to penetrate the cloud there's something called shma shma is the Cry of the of the Jewish people it's the Cry of even if you're hiding from theem and still fundamentally believe in there is no cloud cloud doesn't exist and so even though it's true hiding but can still pass so I don't know if people I'm going it's also late I'm going to take a do it anyway I don't know how many people know this again not know they get sing it one time if not if we know maybe we'll sing it twice or three times in the hospital when I was when I was there I took the train I don't know if you took a car but I didn't shap a guitar I I went just solo and I standing in the in the room and the only nigan that that I could think to sing was her Cooks Shir amuna cook wrote a a beautiful national anthem I don't want the shabbach or anyone coming after me but you know I'm not going to suggest that it should it should have won the national anthem is beautiful the way that it is but there's a certain thing that's going on in our generation where there's also this parallel national anthem which is not just about being about being about walking in the footsteps of and so I don't know who who knows the name who doesn't know the name I'll try to sing it together because I again I don't want the Shabbat coming after but I also want this to become the national anthem of of Our Generation maybe every generation gets like that not of this you know of Medina but like every generation gets their own little national anthem that goes I'm not sure how to say it but f [Music] n [Music] m [Music] I am I am [Music] no how [Music] and good sh [Music] thank you everybody thank you re thank you to all the men and women to all the [Music]
