Hello. Hello

attention.
Everyone,

All the men, please have a seat. There's
plenty of seats here all around.
I like that.
I get Thank you for coming.
Everyone, please have a seat.
Ralph Monica

Yeah.
Uh Mark, put your father down. Let these
fathers down. Come on,
Mark. Sit down.
Have a seat. Come have a seat. There's
plenty of seats right here.
I I want to I want to begin with
thanking
the rabbis.
It's our privilege and honor to have the
rabbis here in our house. Again,
Torah Masura for everyone. I mean
everybody knows Tormas but like Rabbi
Yadid said and Rabbi Eli Mansaw on the
video the other day said that today
Tormas is helping all the schools in the
United States all the in the United
States with everything that they need.
Um it's our honor to have them again.
Raberi is going to speak for a couple of
minutes and then we're gonna get from
the rabbis.
Good of Shabbat everybody.
I don't know how we do this every year.
Theah, the nerve, the goal to shle the
gdole here every year, year in and any
year out. Obviously, it's a m for us.
It's a perfection for us that they come
to deal
from all the gdim that we ask you to
come here. We should be doing this on
our own without having to bother the
shivot. But every year the come if they
come the will come that means that this
is something extremely important to
something extremely important. I was
Mahane from Torah Misora when I was a
little boy. I'm sure every huh
65 years ago.
Yeah. 65. Danny Sor too. 65 years ago.
We remember the sheets, the big the big
posters on the walls, the curriculums,
everything else. They're doing this for
at least 65 years more. 80 years. 80.
Well, we're only 65 years of it. Okay.
80 years they are doing this and they
just get stronger and stronger and
building more and more. day schools all
over the country. Uh there's no words
there's no words to say what it means to
support me. It's out of Shabbat. The
hour is late and we hopes we're going to
hear some
from the
wea
huh
meashem
I mean you all know what you're here
for.
And uh basically,
you know, I'm here. We went and traveled
around some of the houses of Hashem. The
houses show pretty good. And yet, one of
the requests I keep hearing is
people need it.
You know, I'm looking at it. I think,
you know, I should walk in here and
probably, you know, just hold out my
hand. I got a check for a million
dollars, you know, but it's somehow it's
that's not what's happening.
So, I think from this week's settler, we
can learn how you're supposed to be
mispo
and that's the important maybe that's
the whole difference really.
It says when the canananim came after
the yanana went away. So the canananim
came. So there was really I'm says dress
as canananim or or speaking canananim or
whatever it was but somehow to confuse
the yidden. What are you confusing me?
You confuse me because I if I'm going to
resp
[Music]
that that was what I have to be for but
I wouldn't know about it because I'm
going to be sp for canananim and somehow
it wouldn't work something like that.
That was their idea.
So the GI claims whoever it is
that says so. So in other words, we
learn out from here the best defense is
to ask I'm in your hands God. You're the
ones that's running the show. You're the
one that knows what he's doing and it's
yours. So please give me panos. Now the
the question I think we learned from
here. Now go to Maya. What was the of
you're not allowed to test God like you
tested him in who was testing God? We
asked we was for water. It's all we ask
for. It's a natural thing.
The thing is, should you be asking for
water? You should be asking for
hydration.
It's not water that I need. I need
hydration.
Now, it can be natural. You can give it
to me that nothing affects me. Okay,
that's a mess. Give me orange juice. I
don't care what you give me. It doesn't
have to be water. But when you ask for
something specific, that makes it a
test. Let's see if God can produce. I
want to see that you're not allowed to
do. See, once told, my father once told
me that even a guy who's needs panosa
and he has and he's going for an
interview at at a place that's good
chance to get the job. He shouldn't be
misspos
now. You want to you want another thing?
I don't want to look like a fool when I
come in for an interview. Me, Miss Balo,
don't make me look like a fool. I want
to do well in the interview. That
doesn't mean my panosa has to come from
the interview. That's the main part. And
if we remember that that is in God's
hands and he can send it any way he
wants. We can work here but that's all
come from there that doesn't make that's
all we have to keep in mind the man this
all the we need and as I say in the
organization we're working for also
should come that way but you come from
the ones we're expecting it from also
my cousin
the name the host
all the everyone that gathered together
for this ha cause this holy
cause the tells us
tells us that if someone is
is
that means if he's learning it in order
to teach others then the will give him
my grandfather's mazar he explains the
idea is like this it's not if you can
give it so I'll give it to you is that
gives to so is
it belongs to all
He doesn't give to a to he gives to
if you're learning it for
you to teach it to others.
You ready to teach others or you make
yourself
that means you're learning it not for
yourself. You're learning it for so have
more. So then the says okay you're a
good cle you're a good
person to giving to giving it to you I'm
giving it to and the third that you
learn belongs to
each one is each on the of it's not only
because even if he only has his own it's
not his it's
that's his and a person if he shows that
he has feels
So the mushroom gives him what could be
bigger than the m giving him because
he's showing that he is a he's
responsible for the continuation of
is an organization
that's to ensure the
continuity of
that to every school every mid
should be run rides, should teach rides,
should teach, teach right materials and
to be on top of every mo to help build
moist
even make when there's no to make to
pick up that should be should be
and if we feel that is for
it only comes back to us that we should
have the biggest bas in the world. We
should see the simus. We should see
broken our homes. We should see our
children going to we ourselves should go
to
no should give up coming to
and we should have all the
and uh we should all see together
time when it'll be
there's really not much to did after the
gym said what they said I just had a
thought
to Masaura today is about approximately
80 years old
the vision of Torah
that the great god the rashiva's
grandfather Zatsal also the famous
menowitz
satsal and other gdylam at that time had
a vision American America was a barren
country.
There was maybe a few handful of
yeshivas in the city of New York,
but really nothing. America was barren
of Torah. There were no real day schools
over the country. There were no Yeshiva
katanas.
And they had a vision
that from coast to coast, there's going
to be Torah. There's going to be Torah
in every city. There's going to be Torah
in every town.
And
their vision was in the sky. We have
today to covers the entire continent
from every place where there's a city
with a reasonable amount of Jews.
There's a day school there yeshiva
katana there's kalim
the same feelings that you have here in
your community
that vision was in the sky in
your community also is a community that
vision has built it visionaries have
built it the rabbis that started with a
small nucleus
of people learning with them Torah
Ysef, Rabbi Yadid,
all the different rabbis in Brooklyn.
Rabbi Diamond, tremendous what Rabbi
Diamond did. He's a tal of our
and it's a incredible
Rabbi Habber what he did. It's so many
different but a vision of a yak look
what it could mushroom into. So I think
this week's para
says a little thing about visionaries
says
and says on the plate in the on the
garra that we all know there's another
garra in babas of when on the in the
other world.
Every person has a
in the world to come and it's going to
be very painful for somebody whose hoopa
is relatively modest to have a neighbor
and a friend who did his thing in a way
that he has a larger koopa.
And Rajbam explains that the size of the
ka the greatness of the mahaba depends
on the level of a maj. If a person is a
visionary, if a person thinks, "What
could I do? Hashem gave me parnosa. What
could I do with my panosa? What impact
could I have with my parnosa? How could
I help's children? How could I help?
All the great things we have is because
there were individuals in an earlier
generation that was a mash. They thought
they they they schemed schemes what
could help Amusel and the entire Syrian
community has been become blessed into
such an incredible world of Torah and
Yiddish and Abodashem
all because of great people that were
mashim
every each and every one of us has that
potential to give a thought if the
Shabbat there's a shabas of tora
let's think about What is Torah Masora?
What does it do? How could I in my way
contribute to Tom to Thomas's successes
and the ripple effects of those
successes and we should be
and it should be all of us should be to
the greatest
and we should
about
I like the way the pres the governor of
presented the fact we are bothering the
in this time of Shabbat.
It reminds me something that after the
roller coaster is one of
he was
caring about those orphans that was lost
among the going there was a big puish
and he happened to call a gir in London
on chabas someone to a rabbi what do you
have to call on chabas you can call for
shabas he said I wouldn't call chab you
would understand
same dimension Now you have to
understand we're dealing with
when I the way I perceived
the term surah at the beginning I
thought it was like today we have all
kind of appliance without accessories
almost nothing we need everything is you
need to have accessories to be able to
to activate and to use them with is
mamish completely
empty. He's taken the main part of the
but in fact the second thought is even
more than that. He's like a special
cooker chef in an hotel. He's not here
to peeling the the the apples and the to
cleaning to give the right exactly that
will give the the real taste and the
real value of the food. In fact, terms
has taken this exclusivity to be giving
the way in every mean and we need so
much as so many challenges today.
I don't like to speak just for speaking.
I just want to say something practical
today if everywhere we difficulties in
controlling
and being with our kids. By the way,
the best is manage to invest in extend
to be the best friend of your kid.
That's what I did.
All my kids are my best friend. I'm the
first to know everything from ever. If
there is something I the first to know
from age zero to now they're married.
Oh, I pay for that. Now they're married
is still coming to me. But I'm ready to
give that. But in America is very far
from that. Too much disconnected from
the kids.
You have to be much more involved.
You're more watching from the side. It's
not right.
And you give too much
tolerance to the kid to decide for
themsel. It's not true.
I would just give you this
very renown situation when parents feel
powerless
when their kids they're strong they know
what they want and they have some
physical kayak and do we woman how can
they give bondage I can m it's crucial
to have red lines but they do whatever
they want I can't he does whatever he
want you have to know there is a formula
an approach that can be helpful to
everyone.
Everyone has special kus. How do you
know that?
If the kid comes with a nail going to to
the electricity, would you reach him?
Never. If he's going around with a big
knife, it will never won't stay more a
few seconds maybe. Every time you decide
something
you have to think in your head what it
would have been a going to electricity
whatever is the holding a knife the same
way you have to act and make in your
house
anyone can do it this is something you
have to analyze don't give up and before
and after fil
everything can be solved with fil we
disregard this huge K that we have and
we don't really recognize the love that
have from us we can almost everything
obtained through
by the way of course that's we have to
do in practic
but if someone want to maintain this
huge opportunity there given the the
Everyone has to have a part to support
and that's a school when you support you
care about other education. It is good
that also your kids will be on their
early days it was all about nephesh
nothing else that's how they made it
that how they survived without money
without anything in my lifetime I met a
man Joe Kamki
Shalom. Joe Kamitki worked full-time.
It's 24/7 practically for Torah Msor. He
was a man who spent a big part of his
life on buses and railroad stations,
sleeping in bus depots and railroad
stations, going from city to city,
convincing small Jewish communities in
every city in this country to open up a
day school. Open up a day. He smoked a
pipe. I remember. Okay. We used to see
him at conventions when he was elderly
and he's just one example of those days
of what went on in to build this
organization where they made sure that
there was an every a day school in
almost every single city in this country
to is flourishing today in this country
a big part of it because of Torah msra
we don't have to have that kind of msish
all we need to do is give money.
That's why we're here today for money.
Of course, we're here
to get that here. But we need money.
What is the budget of Torah Misora these
days? Hello, Rabbi Bloom. $11 million a
year. And now, if you want to know where
that money goes, sit down and talk to
them and you'll hear of the various
programs to enhance
in this country. An 11 million budget.
You boys, you people drive to work. You
drive down Ocean Parkway, you see that
big building, Torah Misora. Go in there
one day and see what goes on. Okay.
They're literally building Torah in this
country. And we need money. And the hour
is late, so we're not going to waste any
more time. Correct. Anything else? Yes,
we're going to get to it. Okay.
