Bring Them Back - R. Eliyahu Maksumov - TorahAnytime.com

We're not we understand the value of the Torah and the mitzvot. There are a lot of out there and the greatest mitzvah is kiruv to bring those who are so lost who don't realize that the Torah belongs to them just as much as it belongs to us. To go out there and to bring them back. We have to do everything in our power to bring them back to show them the right way, to teach them, to guide them, to bring them to to our house for Shabbat, whatever we can to to inspire them. There are so many out there. We don't even realize what kind of effect you can have. They they want to they they have a shamah. They're holy people and deep inside they want to be close to Hashem. Trust me they do. Everybody if you're Jewish, you know, that you are for sure hungry and thirsty for Torah. You could see the most personal I've seen in myself people are so far from religion you would think that they're not interested. They are interested. You just have to grab them the right way. You have to show them that you accept them, don't judge them and if they see they don't feel judged and you still accept them and you still have hope for them they'll say, "Hey, you still have hope in me? That means there's still hope for me. There's somebody out there who has hope for me." That means that maybe they I'm not so far off after all. You could bring them back. We have to believe in it. We have to believe that we need an army. As Rabbi Weinberg used to say, it's not enough for you know, Aish HaTorah to open up and to try to open up across the Kotel and try to bring Jews up. It's not enough for Aish HaTorah to do this themselves. It's not enough for Or Sameach to do this themselves. We need to go we have to we need an army. If every Jew would take responsibility for other Jews, we could bring Messiah much faster. If we're going to say, "Oh, Aish HaTorah that's kiruv. We I'm not a kiruv I'm not a spokesperson. Don't don't I'm not I'm not a I'm not a educator." Yes, you are educator. Your actions are educating people. People are watching you. They see how you accept If you love the Torah you love the mitzvot, they're going to say, "Wow, you love the Torah so much. Maybe there's something about this. Look how passionate you are about observing the mitzvot." So, it's our responsibility
