EMOTIONAL 😢🔥

Kevin, I just welcome to the Sumi Krauss, the head lifeguard in Kasna camp for over how many years? >> Can I know the 31st summer? >> 31st summer. The famous story from Rabbi Habber. Rabbi Joey Habber said a story about girls in tag in farway who came in with a mask to the graduation not to embarrass a girl who unfortunately has cancer and has to wear a mask to be able to attend the graduation. Sumi Kra, you post that story in your status. I have the same exact story that happened to me in Kasna camp 25 years ago. Somebody go with your story. >> So I think this is really a step further because I work camp as most of you may know it's a camp and uh bathing caps are not the norm there. >> Not in the boys camp. Many many years ago, there was a boy that unfortunately had his hair had fallen out before the summer. That particular boy, Bashem, it wasn't cancer, but that particular boy um lost his hair and he was extremely embarrassed and self-conscious [music] about losing his hair and he didn't uh he didn't want to go swimming at all. [music] But this boy happened to have been a deep water swimmer. So uh the hul [music] of the camp together with the parents and myself we came up with the idea [music] that everyone should be wearing a uh a bathing cap. Any all the kids that [music] that swim in the deep water should be wearing a beta cap. So this boy shouldn't feel uh left out and and feel different because you didn't want anyone to see [music] that is here was out. >> So So what you told the boys that from now on they have to wear bathing cap. >> So this was done before the season. this this >> so one minute. So because of this boy you put out in the [singing] letter and the rules of camp that [music] all boys swimming at the border. >> So this not necessarily a letter. This was the first day when I told the kids and uh some of some of you that may [music] be watching this now this was not a department of health rule but this was the kids that the department of health made a new rule. >> So you told them the department of health made a rule that anybody >> that swims in the deep water has to wear a bathing cap. So no one really challenged it. So all the cases kids that would never wear a bathing cap in their lives the whole entire summer all of them wore bathing caps and that particular kid [music] never felt left out as a result he had an enjoyable summer and desire that that this is something that that even more so that a moid would bend down backwards in order to accommodate a child that that would feel left left out in the whole summer. He had a had an inspiring and enjoyable summer as a result of that not feeling different than anyone else >> until today. That boy doesn't know >> or he knew then. >> I never really asked. His father definitely knew >> but he didn't know that anybody's wearing bathing cap because he just said, "Wow, if anybody's wearing a bathing cap, that means I could go swimming that nobody will realize I have here." >> But nobody noticed that the boy woman and during the day he had a wig. I assume >> during the day he had a wig. So no one >> nobody knew that he was missing his hair. [music] So he wore a wig. He couldn't go swimming because he didn't want anybody to see him take off his wig. >> Correct. >> But since everybody wore a bathing cap, he felt great going swimming and nobody ever daddy. [music] That is unreal. >> Wow. So Mid went bend himself over backwards, put out a rule, a fake rule. The department of health said you must wear a bathing cap and all the kids in camp who went to go to swimming had to wear a bathing cap. >> Said this one boy shouldn't be embarrassed when he goes swimming. >> This is [music] that >> what a MKY story going to the nine days tishov. This is a real story about one person's life could be [music] changed by somebody thinking and using out of creativity in the right way. So me discussing them being the ghoulish >> and just to go have one message everyone all of you can make such a difference in other people's lives. Any little [music] thing that you can do you can mamish make someone persevere and become an amazing person. So [music] do youras guys and you still have life right 31 years later. Hey, keep it up. Another [music] 31 years for you to go.
