[Music]
okay good evening everybody welcome you
thank you so much for joining us tonight
so I going on but okay so the fact that
you people are here tonight is a great
testament to your I have had the Torah
parashat quota
you know very fitting that this class is
dedicated for my grandmother and that's
because my grandmother was a woman who
was the staple of our family she knew
through her subtle ways her subtle
comments are subtle activities how to
bring all the cousins together the
cousins the uncles everybody to bring us
all together make sure that we united
and it's very fitting because I shot
Cora talks about division much looking
ok let's go through the putter top right
now shall we okay
I said Cora doc we know but I said that
croc is jealous why is he jealous
because he was skipped over right Moshe
Rabbeinu becomes the melon his brother
becomes the quake at all his cousin at
least until he becomes an SEO fluffy and
court expulsion says it's not fair why
did the son of amram the both sons they
receive because this is a problem it's
prestige and I get nothing and he
decides because almost right right well
cam it's enough for you what are you
doing why you I'm taking obtaining
attaining holding retaining all of this
importance for yourself and your leaving
everybody else with nothing cool i'm
kapoor ashima so how much oh my
daughter
that's what colors jim so I want to talk
tonight about the concept of my locket I
want to talk about the vision about
disharmony discord okay and I have a
couple of questions question number one
Michael KITT where does it come from
what's the source of much look at the
source of disunity the source of discord
of fighting of quarrels where does it
come from why do people fight okay
question number two how do I stop
division how do I stop my cooking how do
I stop the fights the quarrels how do I
make harmony and number three rabbis it
to me why am I here tonight and all
right I understand we will talk about
Michael Keaton I know we talk about
heart
about peace about tranquility serenity
it's wonderful but why do people do not
want me to come to this class so why am
I watching this clip i am i listening to
this i miss me really why are you here
no i do it right so let's get started is
that this channel everybody ready are
you ready because you hit for a reason I
mean for the food I know you can ready
let's get this all right colors comes in
right something phenomenal listen to the
song ready said the soil that can do
shout shout about Buddha they say about
Buddha anything that is holy their
sanctity anything that is concentrated
always begins with unity and it ends
with unity commences and ends would tell
them with peace that's wonderful
however about the kelipah but anything
that's associated with things that are
impure with things that are contaminated
Shara Bob would add this am pepillo da
begins together in unity in unison and
ends in division so a person comes down
you're arguing with somebody and you
want to know isn't what I'm arguing
about is that something that's coming
from all a place of holiness or is it to
get to that out
it's the inclination that's making me
fight that's good making me offended
that's getting me a little bit establish
and you want to know what's the source
of this quarrel take a look at the end
at the end that we together are we
united or we divide the class for show
and that's gonna determine it to help
you ascertain whether my must look in my
fight today is really the same some I am
or maybe not so that solar ship show
might sound pretty careful and if we
start right call my rocket ship some I
mean so far it can be quarreling
division that's really for the sake of
it or for something that's really a
founded again today it's going to endure
what you mean endure so the rabbi's
right what it means it at the end
there's gonna be peace there's gonna be
acquiescing of minds
there's gonna be a Mallee ation i think
that's a word right oh sorry it's taking
the common they're going to melt i melt
together that's it you could tell
someone's that ships a mine or not in
fact we know the person takes a little
throughout the shots throughout the game
and I always take a look what is the
biggest my look at one of the biggest
factions of my look at that you'll find
in a game I not I might and if you
lil am I in big deal ill always
always divided on so many so many issues
there are panicking dedicated I'm
telling us the division tween I'm
I admit you lil however the rabbi's
right that am I would marry off
their daughters two people are busy lil
and Betty Lee would marry on with orders
to people a a mine they wouldn't
abstain from allowing their children to
come and date each other you know one of
the biggest disasters I've ever heard
the one of the most bewildering things
I've heard is when I don't allow my
daughter to date a person from a
different sub community I'm not even
talking about Sephora demon Ashkenazi
okay that's all so it might be an issue
padeen not allowing my daughter to go
out to the person who was just you know
across the border for instance a person
has a daughter and he's hollaby he's
from holland okay and he has his
daughter wants to marry or date a guy
they're setting a suggestion from sham
no no no no what do you mean we'd be
there right
he's catching that's a white that's why
they can go well nothing you know the
state is different I don't know so if
you want to know whether or not such an
ideology is our pizza or not as it con
does it stem from a conch-shell qibla
shower cause it's not from tamiya
understand and the other day is a gonna
be unity I'm gonna be together is there
togetherness or not a person has to
remember me knows because they're there
people will say different things
different things so when we call I call
my grandmother Gaeta okay we're from
Lebanon theta I know that the Egyptians
called a grandma nuna nuna I know we had
a Bukhari NZ and is America they say Bob
EULA
okay I want my son calling his a ba
boola right that's why you're not gonna
go out with a book Larry house it alone
so a person has to realize when I come
and I want to abstain from entertaining
a certain group is it really exception
mine is a come from kedusha or coming a
special home from a comic home shelter
ma and one second in fact if the others
Betty sky the very sight comes in he
quotes a camera he team and the camera
et says at one time there were there was
a group and this group sorry it was a
couple and this couple were fighting
okay they were fighting everybody fights
all couples fight but what happened they
are knocking shade our master taught me
to get away Monroe's Shabbat where would
they fight the most no survive Friday
because the guy has either comes home
from work and it's all hungry and he
goes into the kitchen and he opens up
the pot and he puts it he starts making
a mess with the Hamid Hamid whatever you
want to say and he puts it on the rice
and his wife goes ballistic and she
smacks it in smack my hand with your
smack man why are you touching the food
I'm ugly want me to do right and they
start fighting and quarreling so what
happens the commemorates vCloud it be me
in that I'm so sure I ever thought I'd
ever do Sheila man they be mayor here's
what's going on
here's about via the splitting of minds
and he goes there for three weeks
straight to make peace and what's it
happens Shema check our our site on vine
epic a to be me and I'll go from a bit
there the gates a lot comes as I can't
believe that they get that the baby
mayor took out the it's a lot from that
home which means if there's division if
there's quarreling if there's this point
if there are problems it's all coming
from the etc it's coming from Macomb -
ah it's coming from a place which is
impure and therefore we have to
understand just exactly where our
quarrels are coming from how gripes when
we get offended when we're coming right
away a person takes offense or something
where is that coming from
so Zora comes at right it's coming from
welcome to MA
and it's something that you're able to
control wait a second
similar middle drove from now from
Brussels comes as something astounding
listen to these words from NAPLAN comes
in says are you dad's food gamma or
Vemma how Aquatica when a person is said
when a person is depressed even your
friends starts fighting with you it's
not amazing which means what does I mean
because I'm SID so my friend start
fighting now you understand when you
were said when you're depressed you
start fighting take a look at a bully
anybody ever deal with bullies right I
remember when I was a kid and I was in a
in sixth or seventh grade I was in camp
and we had police these guys were in
tenth grade and they decided to pick on
a twenty a little busy Tony all right
and he started calling me names and
started pushing me around and sorry and
I never got bullied a day in my life
that doesn't happen right no such thing
and I interrogated and I saw that these
people came from troubled homes they
were saying they were upset and because
they were so sad because they were so
upset they had to take it out on a
scapegoat
they had to go in there to vent their
frustrations out on a victim and many
times the source of our quarrel comes
from our sadness from our insecurities
from our own inhibitions and because
we're not securing ourselves we're not
confident with ourselves we're not happy
with ourselves that's why we initiate
these quarrels that's why we started
it's the gate these fight all because
there's something wrong with us but wait
a second let me Koopaling right this
sadness that we're talking about which
is the source of many fights the source
of many jealousies of envy when we're
not able to tolerate watching other
people succeeding and therefore we gotta
sell with it we have to fight it with to
insult them we have to put them down
denigrate them dead and degrade them
whereas Sanders come from soniku blame
right sameness also comes from impurity
which means again anytime you see
Michael walking and it's a vicious fight
on this year that's coming from the etc
and as right as you think you are and as
justified as you think you are
the Mac or the source the West pool it's
coming from a place of contamination of
impurity and it's someone we have to
keep in mind every time we argue with
somebody and one second
the truth of the matter is the defense
comes to write something phenomenal by
the way we're gonna get to something if
you didn't supply everything we're
saying it's pretty much standing and
many of these things we know we're ready
but wait a second comes the pillar
weights and writes if you take a look
most things that we get are there we
argue about more things that we quarrel
about most of our crimes with other
people the things we take offense about
a nonsense are they scary nom to vilify
I met I call heaven Rotorua nothing is
worth fighting for
nothing is worth getting upset about
because the person comes and insults you
he comes in he denigrates you puts you
down he makes fun of you
he doesn't invite you to his wedding
but Joe's engagement well he doesn't
invite you to his house he doesn't call
you when it's your birthday I think for
a second did that make me any poorer am
i losing money now because he forgot my
birthday and it was anything
did it hurt me do I have any pain he'll
because he insulted me I think it hurt
it anyway I told Steel it's all nonsense
it's all steam it's all the attila
trying to deprive you from your
happiness yourself justified happiness
yourself deserving happiness trying to
take things away from you over nothing
over foolishness over what is it go
today
over rotorua nonsense and they're
personally able to realize that
ascertain that at all times and never be
upset at anybody realising then you
really never lost anything you really
never you know you weren't deprived of
anything a prison able to easily allow
these fighters quarrels these problems
is issue
they quickly dissipate listen to this
comes a hotel Hakeem
it says something phenomenal he says
like this ready here we go
he says imagine a person yes it's
undercover no don't go missing
sometimes you get upset at somebody why
cuz you didn't do a kindness for you you
won't do your favor or you know tell
them I do not give me chef told me me
didn't give me a present
oh you know Mel veer a little bit
shocked Rocco or I need a loan he's like
giving me that loan no way that I'm
gonna hate me cause it don't get upset
about these things why I kick a bill me
a vodka moshing so Barbara who though if
Tom don't put your emotions in the hands
of other people I can't allow other
people to control the way I'm going to
feel all the way I'm going to react or
the way I'm going to leave my emotions I
can't allow other people to hold the
reins of my heart I got a pink content
and in control I have to make sure that
I have those those gauges in my hand and
that allow other people to navigate my
heart to navigate my emotions such an
important thing but when I allow other
people to get me a percent when I
allowed other people to get me agitated
when I start fighting with people when I
become envious of others that means I'm
giving the reins to my heart and I'm
putting them in the hands of other
people and how important it is for me to
proceed from doing that I'll give an
example
I'll give an example no today I had a
meeting I have to be any Shiva at a
certain time I think was like 9:30 yeah
I had to be at a meeting at 9:30 a.m.
and sure enough they pull out of my on
my driveway and I you know my driveway
you know where I live either vet none of
your business where I live actually my
little couple blocks away from monkeys
even and I take my car so sure if I get
into my car and as I go on to having UV
there's standstill traffic
anybody knows the rabbi Z Tony I hate
traffic
I hate traffic I can't I do the peeps
you know turn to their time yeah what's
going on right that's me I came and
Allah and then I started thinking for a
second I thought to myself
you know what I'm not getting it why
should I get man I'm gonna allow the
three cars in front of me to control my
emotions and my anger and my day of
course not I'm not gonna allow them to
be the ones to tell me how to feel so I
decided I know it's gonna put me at ease
took my phone I put a little at calm is
it doing it
screaming everybody else Kosta Allah all
right what happened I decided I'm gonna
take the reins in my hand and I'm gonna
decide how I'm gonna feel and that's
where the person has to do don't allow
someone else to handle your controls to
tell you how to feel to navigate your
emotions president Sall another take
control of his own emotions and when I
was a kid you know they had a game they
would take a person to keep on start
running around with it I think I would
go we start getting right getting
incensed I getting upset and start
running from one and he would throw it
to the other guy the other always
already gonna be a so luigi gate so I
remember when I was a teacher when I
first became a Rebbe they did that also
yeah I thought the games get more
advanced so nowadays you do it on the
iPad no okay
but what happened take him to the kid
you wanted you wanted to stop you want
him to stop you wanted to come and give
me a key power back next time they think
you keep on start running just stay in
place sit down right I may believe it
slowly fine and lots different way
infested throwing it around and within
five seconds he gave it back to him
because they realized they can't control
his emotions they can't control his
anger they're not going to navigate how
he feels and how he reacts and that's
what we have to tell the earth tada
every time the answer that pull to keep
our off every time yes I'll put you to
traffic every time it comes and
embarrasses you put you down
Democrat you that grades you makes fun
of your bald spot you tell me it's a
time I'm staying in my place have fun
with my bald spot and when you're ready
just give it back and you could smile
and laugh the entire thing away don't
allow other people to control the way
that you feel but wait a second
cuz now it gets a little bit interesting
the question is how do i dissipate
quarrels how do I stop the fights how do
I run after peace how do I run after
tranquility rap why I want to do it I
don't want to be miserable I don't have
he said I don't want to be offended
I don't be downtrodden I want to be a
surprise I was happy what do I do
so I want you to hear the next segment
of this class you ready here we go comes
the civil holla Dean and it says number
one step when a person wants to be
someone who pursues peace who stops
crawls stops fighting stops division
pursues unity what is the number one
step you gotta do says its if it's not a
team number one you have to understand
that you can do it number one thing you
have to do when you want to be a person
was peaceful if you have to realize I
have the ability to be peaceful I have
the ability to control my emotions I
have the ability not to be offended and
not to be upset and not to be uh you
know taking it back by comment or
inaction that's committed against me I
have the gauges in my hand and I have to
believe I'll prove it to you I'll prove
it to you you know if you think about it
the same statement can be made by two
different people
I don't want person to just let it slide
off your back and the other person you
take offense I'll give you an example
you know the other day I was sitting
with my daughter
Vidia and my daughter comes up to me and
I figure out I was doing the zoom
something with eggs maybe I was making
guys and I never make cakes but do
something and she comes up to me says
daddy where do I come from
I said well if you really want to know
go is to go inside it's a smartest
person in the house where eggs come from
so she looks at me like she's confused I
said honey what's the matter
I said go inside I said listen who's the
smartest person in the house so she
tells me I am have a problem she thinks
she's the smartest person now I said
okay I mean I'm no problem go to the
second smartest person or the second
smartest person ass she looks to me she
goes you were what's his name so she's
smarter than me she just called me uh
okay whatever right that's what she
called me basically now wait a second
amaura's shakal would tell me that he
was smarter than me I sent him one way
to the engagement buddy okay
one way you want to go try it come okay
hold on a second but since I love my
daughter I don't know if you thought
it's not good okay
then thought of my daughter so I was
willing to take that comment that she
said that could be potentially so
offensive and letting that bother me
which we thought I have the controls in
my hand I could decide what I'm gonna
get offended when I when I'm gonna let
things go and when not what I'm gonna
allow them to build into productive
constructive relationships and what I'm
gonna allow them to destroy my entire
life I get to choose it's in my control
in my hand and I gotta make the decision
you know the other day I just got a cut
okay I'm sure you could tell and I just
got it cut so my son comes and he takes
a look at my haircut now he became a
teenager he likes the style up his hair
and whatever he looks he says daddy do
you know that the last two weeks you
lost more hair I said you know why he
goes why dad who's all concerned
see because every time I talk to I just
want to pull out more right but I didn't
get offended you did talk about my bald
spot and I'll kill you
because I decide when I'm gonna get
offended and when I'm not gonna get
offended so I have the ability at all
times and anybody shakes me up
what makes fun of me puts me down
ignores me doesn't invite me to their
parties or to their house forgets my
birthday or my anniversary
all right you decide what if they get
offended in that so step number one
house that's you're listening you like
step number one is I get to choose and I
could do it that's step number one
but listen to step number two i love
step number two this is gonna make your
whole Klis there's once a person who
came to me and said rabbi I'm having a
hard time with par Nessa nothing is

me in this world because if you are
peaceful you never lose down so I gotta
tell you
rabbis attuning story you know what for
the last three weeks these stories have
been happening and no one ever believes
me you think all the hobbits are a
boys-only rabbis
souls into this story as I mentioned
before my grandmother passed away
a week in Africa and the first day of
Shiva you know I was taking care of my
mother made sure she was okay
she was sitting and I was supposed to
come pick her up so I was supposed to
pick her up and bring her back home I
was entombed my mother says don't worry
he's already brought me home
no problem so I'm driving and as I'm
driving to go home I say you know what
let me go see my mother so I'm driving
and now I have to pull into her driveway
as I'm pulling into her driveway a cart
comes from the other direction speeding
and hits the tail of my car all the side
airbags all deployed
I'm leaving by the way it makes it crazy
Sam I sort of lost my hearing right the
whole day I'm doing this thing I'm crazy

probably illegal they put him over the
wall let's go what's the problem she
said it honey please enough just come in

at the guy after through you know we
call the police and then and then my
mother said just let him go
I said okay you go get any so guy gets

the cops and the cops were that came
down the first thing they would ask you
for is license and race I see you've
been there before and registration and
when they would come and realize that my
license was suspended I'd be in jail now

all right all right but when a person is
peaceful when a person comes any
pursuers peace tranquility univis

every moment of my life which is so
precious so I want to waste it on being
offended or being upset or being sad
being embarrassed is that the way I want
to waste my life forget my life a year
of my life
forget a year of my life a minute of my
life do I want to spend my life being
upset at someone else what a waste of
life what a waste of time because time
is precious and once it's gone it never
comes back you know is he coming on and
I said it's so done I love this game
Anna knew I was good so that comes and
writes the following it's great coming
out we just learn too much about Charlie
ready so the thing about it was once a
revenue may be up who repeatable they
self saver be a vowel I had a wife and
the way I used to work in those days was
the rabbi and he didn't scream you
wouldn't scream you would have a person
called the metal gear man and the motoki
man was like like a microphone an
amplifier so the rabbi would say his
class to the matagi man and the
petroleum ad would then come and amplify
the attack list he would come and he
would scream din cyclase or the rabbi
would preserve his voice and not have to
exert himself so one time the Mutulu
man's wife came to me up whose wife and
she says by the way we don't need your
husband could you imagine mine my eyes
the mature gay man he's coming his own
in his own right we don't need your
husband services the only reason that my
husband comes and addresses your husband
it's for couples free husband but he
doesn't he's great at any husband so
sure enough a beautiful whose wife got
all offended and she wants to be a food
to say look what happened look what he
said look what she said must be it's
coming from my husband and it be able
comes and he says the following ready he
tells her Marla or mine of Cali
Mena what do you care what do you gain
by being upset what do you gain by being
offended mean II mean a it kill it kill
it kill it soon ah by being upset by
being offended by being taken aback you
care nothing but if there's peace
between me and him at the end of the day
Breanna is priest because we're gonna
talk to a lot between me and him who
cares what he thinks
who cares what she thinks and now we
seen my life being upset I'm not going
to allow that to distract me from
enjoying life from building from
accomplishing from achieving from being
happy somebody else's opinion or what do
you think what the whole true in their
hearts I'm not going to ruin my life
my minute my second because it's
somebody else by the way because the
truth of the matter is ladies and
gentlemen how many brothers do you know
that don't talk because of these fights
and quarrels how many sisters don't talk
how many parents don't talk to their
kids how many partners don't talk is it
worth it even for one moment for these
people to be upset with their parents
with their brothers with their sisters
with their children what a waste of life
every moment every moment with the
people that you love hold it dear you
know I was just telling my kids go back
to my grandmother
eight years ago my grandfather passed
away and I used to go every Friday you
know he tries to hobble it's mixed beans
it's very nice
after my grandfather passed away I felt
like I couldn't go yet
and then my wife's grandfather passed
away and my wife came to me and said
honey let me tell you something I wish
had more moments to spend on my
grandfather I wish I had more moments to
spend with him more dear moments that we
could share together make sure you spend
every available moment you have with
your grandmother every time you can
spend with her every moment every second
there you could sit with her relish in a
greatness bisque in her in her majesty
and I took her advice and every Friday
took my kids and we went to DIPA
every Friday and we wiped her off clean
by the way all the food forgot my kid I
ate all the food bales out a little bit
but today that my grandmother's not here
anymore I appreciate every minute that I
spent with her people fighting with
other people why husbands fighting with
wives why every moment you have with
that life I appreciate it value it
cherish it because those moments will
never come again
don't waste them being offended ok so so
far we're doing all right let's go to
the third segment and the third segment
is what must I do to make peace so we
did the importance of peace we showed
you how important it is to pursue peace
how do I do it what do I do well
there's a punish ah in the city the
venom is 15 and over there
whatever one comes and says listen
you're gonna now enter the Land of
Israel you're gonna enter the Land of
Israel and when you went to the Land of
Israel
you have to conquer the entire Land of
Israel what he's supposed to do is just
walk in and start killing people says
but LM no kitty chameleon later I came
out there when you come close to it walk
to a city and you want to wage war
Vic errata Alice Shalom the first thing
is take the first step and extend your
hand out in peace you know what LM said
whenever you're approaching a war your
first step is you extend your hand out
in peace you take the first step no way
for someone else there you know what I'm
fighting with this person I'm going to
offend to say I'm sorry let them say I'm
sorry first because they might never
happen and if you're gonna stay fighting
with that person for years that she's
yours that you're wasting being upset at
somebody else now I want to tell you
something come here shot comes and
writes you know why you can make the
hearts warm up how I can heat up those
hearts what do I do
cover yourself that's very simple ready
listen to this
I carry my senior called Arthur I see
this whole team up enough they receive
the qualification Atilla cello yeah Amy
Taylor solo just by saying hello as I
love what you can avoid that brings
people together just a Hello I'll tell
you great story another rabbi stormy
another rabbi sort another rabbi story
you know there's once a person I got
very upset with very upset you know what
I don't know how many of you know me but
sometimes when I get upset I get a
little heated okay right Albert
sometimes I get upset I go to leave no
I'm trying to work honey
I'm trying to chill now so there was a
person who got me very upset and well
interval of ahem they lost appearance
and data as Quran and now they act
and I think you know what they hurt me
they offended me
they slighted me but I'm gonna go to
that again I'm gonna extend my arm out I
want to make a gesture and let's see
what happens so sure enough I walk in
and everyone's jaw dropped because
everybody knew that I was upset at this
person everyone you know they gotta give
me a void and the guy came up to me and
said to me in hand and said thank you so
much for coming I appreciate it and
until today we're friends because I took
that first step and went taser yeah I
feel another story there were siblings
that were fighting fierce fierce
fighting and one of the siblings had a
wedding their child's wedding and there
was no way that the other sibling was
gonna go but then either the wedding
came and they went and all of a sudden
the entire argument just melted away
because they showed I care they took
that first step they extended and they
sent the white flag and that allowed
peace to resonate and that family so
number one is you take the first step
yeah right well what about my couple old
rabbi what about my commode fill my cup
what does my honor does am i you see
mean anything isn't it worth anything
was it me shopping camera what the full
pity
and mr. rice is a missile bad it was
really honored I'm a bit of the video
one waters other people
that's what forded that's who is
afforded an honor so fine one honor
abstaining from going and and then
making peace with someone it's not gonna
do with you're not going to attain your
goal you want other people talking to
you you go adding on or others you
take that first step extend that hand
give that hug and then you'll get that
covered so that's step number one step
number two well faster comes and says
you know there's a concept in rabbinic
and the rabbinic text and the rabbi's
right
whenever you see my locket I'm I
bet you live em I says I'm
Hanukkah right you go from eight to one
Betty law says you go from one to eight
think about all right um hi both of
these opinions are divine leave me like
somebody I mean both these opinions are
divine both of these opinions are God
godly words than what he told Nina
served Esther comes and says there's
always two perspectives to things
there's always two perspectives to
things two reasons why things happen
there's always two reasons why things
might happen and if I understand the
other person's perspective maybe I'm not
always so offended maybe doesn't hurt me
so much if I realize why the person did
what he did
I want to tell you something by the way
there is a rule the rule is if I didn't
get invited to a wedding and I think I'm
supposed to have I say go go it could be
you know there was a guy who just got
caught
Amil me I think at 18 years of meal in
his in his house
18 years omim you normally say 20
invitations must have been there
okay so rabbis right if you think is
supposed to be invited to something go
most likely to be happy that you went
don't get offended don't get upset but
we if I realize it is another
perspective on things
there's another way to few things
another way to go about things maybe I
won't be so offended you know why they
didn't write me maybe how's that done
you don't have enough money especially
rabbi said to me the way he eats forget
it that okay maybe that's why I'm not
invited
well maybe that is certain limit of
invitations maybe that's why I'm an
invited by understanding that there is
another perspective one of the theory
another reason automatically my heart
warms up and I'm ready to take that
first step but waiting what David take
the first step and I didn't go my way I
did I went I should then and then they
weren't so happily I'm fighting with my
wife so I go when I talk to her and she
still calls me a bum does she still
burns my rice I still make the same
thing for dinner every night
what else does she know I'm joking right
what am I supposed to do do I give up on
peace well I think about saying katene I
think I'm sorry team comes Mary thing
just on the 30th beats on the first sign
think about I think there's small
interval all the ships have by name I
beat them and good things semi heart and
engagement parties not on Monday nights
right come out right like this lately
listening what's him get mad at says he
get my not let's see a person comes and
he writes a gig love it and he gives it
to his wife and he tells big Dean if I
don't appeaser within 30 days they get
to get they means I have 30 days to make
up with my wife
30 days a doctor 30 days to you know
make a smile 30 days to make her realize
and I'm a good guy when the thirtieth
day comes and he did it to pieces why
he tried is it again tonight so what do
you abusive says a matter of you're safe
now he might've added in a naval officer
well did he do everything he could do
you do everything in his power to try to
make her happy
did he give her iPod some money well
that would make me happy
did he do everything he can to infuse
tranquility into his family if not the
kid is not a get let him go try harder
and said number three is don't give up
you tried to make peace you went to say
I'm sorry but if it didn't make peace
yet you didn't try hard enough
you gotta try harder wait the gentlemen
I deal with chalamaiah
issues husbands and wives come to me to
try to make Des Moines men and many
times how's the turns around and says
you know what I tried I did everything I
could
what do you want me to do I'm attempting
she's just not flipping the truth is are
you really
you know whenever there's disharmony
I always tell husband take your wife on
a date like you did in the olden days
you know dress up very nicely put on the
Cologne gel the head I mean the hair go
in on a D and Dazzler complement her
open the door fire fire froze write her
up Owen right roses are red violets are
blue please forgive me
or I'll kill you no like that don't sit
right but write her a poem did you do
everything you can did you try your
hardest
did you give her money and I named that
soda Quran say my cousin's upset at me
my mother's upset at me my
mother-in-law's upset at me and I want
her to like me if you didn't gain it if
you didn't attain it if you didn't
accomplish it you didn't try hard enough
there's always a more you can do because
peace is a comes from kedusha and if
you're pursuing peace peace begins with
unity and ends with unity so if I didn't
achieve unity and I didn't try hard
enough because anything that's do with
tranquility is demo it is rooted real in
kedusha you know I want to tell you
something people tell me all the time
they have hard times are there with the
motherless you know I make fun of other
ones my mother was it down really good
to make it very nice lady many of the
people come to my house on Shabbat you

mother-in-law in America now because
okay anyway but some people go see rabbi
don't know to do my mother-in-law I see

sure there's harmony and serenity in
your life don't waste a moment of your
life being upset so wait a moment of
your life being offended then waste a
moment of not being angry don't waste a
