was very disturbed by the creation of sivis hashem because it glorifies battlefields and weapons and the military there ever responded with an extraordinary letter and that was said that one of the challenges that we're seeing in our generation is that children do not have a propensity a proclivity to what we call kabbalah soil the readiness to accept the authority of hashem's blueprint for my life he says by extension parents teachers schools and even the law of the land it's obvious from the letter that they've ever felt that forcing children simply doesn't work but ultimately you have to inspire you have to motivate internally the soul so the rapper says after thinking long and hard he reached the decision and that is we create a system which children will want to join enthusiastically they won't be forced to join them they will want to embrace it with their own will not through coercion but a system a way of thinking a way of living that will inspire a sense of commitment of dedication of loyalty of kabbalah you ready you got this ladies and gentlemen boys and girls everybody at home we are back so yoni i gotta tell you you it's pretty incredible you're about to meet up for free backstage you met benny friedman you met the eighth the the marcus brothers and i gotta say you did an incredible job i wasn't expecting that was your first time you delivered your line perfectly and most of all i got to tell you a little bit about what is all about so what do you say you want to join i mean it looks really cool and i don't know it looks like an amazing program i knew it i knew you would love it and i'm so happy to hear that could someone pass me up an ipad i want to sign yeah yoni up at the dawn.com but i'm telling you just listen to me you're gonna be so happy you made this decision you're gonna be drinking the kool-aid in no time yoni yeah but i don't feel like it's for me then for who i don't know maybe maybe a kid who doesn't have a life you know we went through these lines you're here to help me sell sell an organization to sell the kid on the fundraiser we have to show people that it's an amazing organization you cannot deliver a line like that what's going on why are you doing that no this is bad honey he don't looks amazing but i learned eight hours a day and then after that i come home and i have to do my homework i do so much learning sorry look at it this way [Music] learning oh learning i'm done for the day i sat for eight hours now let me play don't get me wrong i love my rebbe and my school is number one

of here i'm finally free at last [Music] oh wow i get it so you think that ridon is just another learning program and you learned tons in school already and when you get home you're done i am finished for the day i really learn a lot don't get me wrong school is amazing i have good teachers i come home when i do my homework it's kind of besides the point but i learn so much i want time for myself he don't sounds like a program which would be go home do homework do credon i don't know it's not what i want to do i want to have time for myself time to have fun time to choose what i want to do time to be independent but what if i told you that on is the kind of learning that you always dreamed of that it's learning that is fun it's learning that is really interesting it's learning that

fundraiser mushy well ladies and gentlemen until we get moshi back on this stage let me tell you what he done really means to me let me tell you what social really means to me civ hashem has been a family changing a life-changing a community changing it's a complete game changer uh we really see the effects incredibly in my family so for example last night yesterday shabbos mavarakim i have an eight-year-old girl she went to shore on shabbos mubaraka stayed in shul for an hour and a half to say to hillam she did 30 40 allah and i tell you that is something that is only because of sivis hashem this is what sims hashem is doing for me this is what service hashem is doing for my family and this is what sims hashem is doing for you mushi good to see you back honey i apologize about that there it is so exciting what's taking place behind the scenes let me tell you ladies and gentlemen i just got lost back there because what is taking place tonight is impacting the future of claudius roll and i am just enthralled with all of it my dear friends we're at 76 66 000 it's not enough we got to dig deeper we the ticker's going way too slow we need to make this happen tonight two million dollars it's not that much money considering the amount of impact that civic hashem does in this world every single school every single miced every camp whether it's the largest overnight camps to the smallest day camps out there are directly impacted fed and and inspired by the work of hashem the work that this guidon has brought out the amount of of soldiers of kids that were involved with this the kaiolin unbelievable close to 5 000 kids that were involved and those numbers are growing and growing my friends it takes money it takes funds to feed this army it takes funds and resources to make this all happen it doesn't happen on its own so we want to point out some of our donors some of the people that have come through tonight and those that are giving let me tell you something we need the big donors we need the big donors but every donation counts don't think that there's anything too small out there if you could afford to give a hundred dollars give a hundred dollars if you could afford to give a thousand dollars do that the numbers are important but what's more important is your involvement your gestatvos and together all of us tonight can make this miracle happen so

on a fun-filled music-filled turret-filled evening we welcome back aubry [Music] ladies and gentlemen my name is kaufman it's a huge huge source for me to be here with all of you celebrating a momentous occasion not just one but times two so as a young kid i went to some concert in brooklyn college and uh before i knew it it was a huge horror around the orchestra section and as a little kid i was like wow the power of music the power for someone to get up on stage and just like invigorate everyone just to get up and dance and be uplifted in every single way that little fire under me the barak hashem has lasted many many many years so it was my real honor and pleasure to call upon the guest of honor this evening outside civ hashem ladies and gentlemen please put your hands together for avraham fried [Music] for 40 years it makes you feel very young right so we're celebrating 40 years of your music and it pretty much coincides with 40 years they were celebrating fantastic unbelievable what what type of like memories in connections hashem can you can you share with us over the years well first of all hashem gave me my first job yes rabbi back in the day i think i helped design their very first letterhead hashem logo and yeah he gave me my first break in the army of hashem so i'm thankful for that and here we are celebrating together wow so so one of the first the songs that we're gonna we're gonna have a pleasure of hearing you seeing is something from one of the one of the uh first albums what influenced you i thought we're gonna talk i have to sing some more eventually we'll give you a little bit of a bring me some chicken all right we'll give you a little bit of a break in in between but when you as as a child growing up who was it that you were listening to i know as a kid i'm listening to adam freed who who was it that influenced you who are you listening to when your door was closed and you're blasting the music on your record player you know and i was really really really a little kid yeah in our home we heard ebjective which later gave birth to yiddish gems which i'm very proud of we had a lot of hazonus in the house we had cantor david verdiger we had been seeing schenker and when i became a teenager of course it was mordechai motherhood and david so those are my inspirations wow that's uh a great eclectic uh mix of people i'm sure that that uh leaked its way into some of the music and some of the performances i must thank going back when i was really a little kid ellie lipscore oliver scholans nearly title bound ah what's something am i in my childhood voice gave me some beautiful solos and we did concerts together across the united states with ellie lipscore and um my very first break on the very first album no jew will be left behind i must must thank the man who gave me my first my first record album and contract she amended with let's hear it for she mentally please [Music] he believed in me and uh thank god we did a lot of good stuff together and of course you'll see green where would i be without jesse green's classics let's hear it for elsie yeah and of course some great arrangers who arranged the albums are beginning with marie the winter but they're the first two you remember that flamie marty the winter and then of course i met up with maisha laufer who wrote some of the most beautiful arrangements and gave me some great songs as well and many other people that i have to thank but we'll get to that a little later i hope so share with us something from the early days like what i don't know maybe any ideas of what we can [Music] um heavy stuff huh you want to go i'm going to go through i am [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] you just tempted me over there but over the years i've witnessed that myself seeing so many people that you had an opportunity to perform with some people that everyone knows some people that some people might not know um outside present company you must have had some memorable duets and the next song that we're about to perform has been done so many different ways by yourself by others that have done it who are some of your favorite duets if you've had to have an opportunity to sing with whoa um i remember having the duet with joe ammar we one thing i remember joao mark everyone what sword did you say remember huh i always sang some stuff together i don't know yeah um that was a memorable duet with him on banjo he played banjo i didn't know that yeah whether the bongos joe omar whatever um it's always a thrill to sing with with mordechai it's always a great thrill and um i've sang the best with jesse green we've had some uh you know everybody pretty much has under the wet in the business vera hashem and uh of course of course going fisher due to fisher you think you know better than i thought who is some of your favorite but i personally would love to hear you sing this song just by yourself oh yeah without it without a dude [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] um [Music] oh [Music] i [Music] foreign nice choice nice choice so let me let me get a little a little a little personal with you when you released your first album you you were already married you ready uh you were still walker no so you come out with how many albums before you have a chance to find your brochure that's a good question eight years nine years that's like 81.89 four albums already by then 81 to 89. you do the math every game was an album back in the day on the year like boeing we had a cd i don't know savannah chapter rabbits and knew what she was getting herself into at that point right that would imagine actually have to ask one of these days we'll have a dual interview but uh over the years now it's probably very difficult to deal with major family life and things going on and being pulled and asked to fly around the world um to help people which you've been doing for 40 years what's that been like and what type of kadaram do you put to make sure that it doesn't interfere with your family how has it affected your family tell us a little bit about the inner workings of the avram friedman that's a tough one that's a tough one because it takes a strong strong woman and a strong family give her a round of applause everyone rabbits and free yes all right she'll kill me for this but okay um it takes a it's a team effort it's a team effort and the kids knew that you know this is this is the schlitz this is the job this is the mission they always had their blessings and um i'm very very humbled by their support by their physique all these years i couldn't do it without them that's for sure and without my wife so um to mrs friedman and the children and now the grandchildren that leads us right into the next song what a unique song at the time with the another yoshi yes yes you have these amazing ideas coming up with you know we figured songs to hit him you know we've heard that already you know so he's going to all kinds of interesting sources for uh for lyrics [Music] a [Music] is [Music] the high notes [Music] is [Music] foreign [Applause] [Music] okay that's nice that's nice great song one person clap thanks a lot [Music] what else do we got today wow there's been some uh some of some amazing songs and there are some songs when they get released they it's not about taking the world by storm and barker shame you've had many of those but certain styles of music when you hear them you're like wait a second we've never heard that before and and we'll get to some of those uh you know going forward but you know you could still go to uh to ashmore and you could still hear a swing no one ever did swings before before the next song adam deign how did that work and and what is do you have any particular thought process when you're looking at the styles that are going to go on an album or the songs that are going to go on an album and say wow it would be smack to do something that's never been done before let's do a swing i think this song was all you see yasi green's idea you have to still record it yeah well i loved it i love it because you know the rainbow has a lot of color so we try to keep things interesting you know let's just stick to one to one uh one particular genre is that a hard choice then a hard choice to make as long as it's in tom you know as long as it stays in that then it's okay but this was a song that uh definitely had a yiddish attempt i always feared feel slowly that to what rhythm are we going to go out of goals what what what do you think what walls and that that that's not a that's not no man i don't think that's a a walls to go out of golis with to go maybe a march because we'll march or i think we're going to swing out of golis what do you say we're just going to swing out of colors you know [Music] let's do a little bit about them wow [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] taco from that response for sure that's how we're going out of golems with a swing i think we're going to swing out of this that's it in the same other better on main all main in the same vein sometimes when you release a song or a type of song that's never really been like done before it creates a certain type of trend so the next song that we're about to do is it was very rare to have like in a vrit song well i think that the first thing i did i think not not just you it was uh a very very new thing in the market and now you can't it's very rare to have an album that comes down today that doesn't have innovation sent me this song and i have no idea why he gave me this song because it's just a gem what a gem i was lucky to get that song i remember i was on an airplane flying to moscow with twa remember twa for your time the hotel i heard this song and a tree talking to a to a leaf and it made me so emotional thinking my family you know i was crying on the plane and um ever since this i've been getting so many requests to do a full cd of these you know hebrew songs that's right that's where it all started so hashem we did that as well oh let's do the chorus of alaika okay [Music] i [Music] one more time [Music] foreign [Music] so hold on tight a little of mine [Music] i thought you're gonna ask me about the pushkar we didn't get to that yet we're looking to try to make a lot of money right now but hashem everyone keep going we're about to pass eight hundred thousand dollars hashem on the way to two million everyone make sure to log on call in and make your donations right now remember i have this pushka why do you have this push guy ramo because some 30-plus years ago there ever once gave me a dollar before i had a job that night and he said this is for tsudaka before you sing then he gave me another dollar and he said this is for tsudaka after singing we've been around the world a few times and i try to give to dhaka before and after and there's no question that celebrating 40 years of bringing simha to claudius royal is very humbling and of course we say thank you hashem for giving to dhaka how you know the whole story i mean you have to bring a push on stage the next song we're going to do has been done in so many different styles so many different ways even though it was recorded a certain way oh man and you've done it on big stages you've done it on small stages can you share with us what were some of the largest places that you had to sing at with you know how many people were at one spot or the biggest the biggest show we ever did was uh with murder high i think dede was also on the show it was a halamoid pesach i think in gun soccer you know where gun sacrifice in yerushalayim they say police said there were two hundred thousand people there that's what they said that's more people that bought kazan i should yes i should add that it was a it was a free concert [Music] but okay i remember seeing it was like a sea like that the people reached touched the sky that was just endless wow endless nothing went wrong in that show did it nothing went wrong now one one very uh difficult question share with us one of the worst memories that happened at a show that was mamish like disastrous something that like oy vey oh well after one concert in your shalom a little boy came running over to me with no little payload delicious little kid and he says [Music] this song definitely will not put anyone to sleep mandy let's do it [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] all right friends [Music] and there's another one that mamish like rock the house at the time remember this one you got this one of course it was i think it was yeah [Music] classes [Music] great memories by the way i want to thank slammy i must thank i must thank my voice teacher who i spent many many hours taking vocal lessons and hersh einhorn i can't thank him enough because on this hazak album i think my voice was had a beautiful socket and it was just just great so here's yeah couldn't do it without you you can give him an applause yeah yes he has a great uh he has a great feeling in my vocal cords and an amazing hair like he has the next one we're going to do is a little bit newer and there's something about at least from my perspective i'm sure everyone who listens uh ears bark hashem you've you've been mamash blessed with siantosh it's true to not just stay the same as you were in kazak and see that uh change but like mama stay that way vocally and also that throughout the years every song that you've had this hustle record even though it's different than the next than what we're used to still have rainbow what's what's the secret to staying like true true to everyone style you know why mess with success i mean if they were just giving you a bra don't mess with it but the lyric i also try to find the lyric you know and this next song just came about by i saw someone write up some note on on a message and i ran to the source to look it up and then we got this ami sure came out so let's give that a shot [Music] my [Music] is [Music] who's been my musical director for the last many many years for

like to pull up we'd now like to call up mr diri farkas from rfk financial mr dude oh there he is of course he walks in like he owns the stage okay we need to get you a microphone okay you're known to give to a lot of causes you're a philanthropist everyone knows who you are but it seems like you've taken very very special interest in hashem what is it that sivis hashem means to you that's so important that you feel that this is a great cause to give to and please come with me okay so i'm not going to say my age but my background coming from you shalom this is something chives hashem if you ask anybody in my family in heidel growing up moving from a a hasidic sector of going into lubavitch when the rabbit came out of ximena based with smith with the whole project of tibet hashem it was the biggest excitement for me as a child getting the the emblems getting the stickers the symbols the keychains it was the biggest thing and he felt that you belong to something very very special so when the opportunity of being part of chives hashem uh and being involved and and helping chives hashem and looking back at what hashem did to me my wife is in the crowd the families the friends my brothers and sisters everybody around us in your salon the baby babies wanted to be part of chivas hashem so of course we always like at rfk be part of great success so to the you're known to invest a little you're a savvy investor right what do you feel about when you're donating to hashem what is your return on investment how do you feel especially compared to maybe other things that you put money into how do you feel about what you get back for your investment see so i am in the life insurance business i'm not doing risky investments i don't play any type of risks i don't invest in the markets i do things that are guaranteed and being in this line of business one thing i know for the past 40 years that anybody that was or was part or helped or is involved or children and adults and parents and grandparents who are sitting here in the room the return on being part of chives hashem was above and beyond any investment you ever made in your life and that's a fact look at the people sitting here look at our children look at our parents look at the people involved look what the rabbit created it's a guaranteed thing that when you invest in tvs hashem you're going to get 100 to 1 000 return on your investment judy thank you so so much because exactly what you said leads us into our next presentation our next video that what you give it doesn't compare to what you get commitment passion ambition it's not talent you're not born with it the doctor will see you now dedication courage endurance day after day that voice telling you to win it begins to get stronger achievement exhilaration freedom that's the moment you realize you're doing more than you ever thought you could play me and it's not just you you're changing the world just a reminder everybody we have to celebrate 40 years at seventh hashem and we're breaking some big numbers on the way to two million dollars so make sure you log on right now and to pledge and to donate to help yeah across the world so we're here with some of the royal family of jewish music that's right we mean it sounds good right it sounds good it sounds good so so first we we're here to celebrate service hashem we'll get to everyone you know family you've been dealing with your whole life but uh can you share with us quick thoughts like of of any of uh your past experience with civilization so this hashem is amazing amazing organization i was in service hashem when i was a kid my children are now in civ hashem and it's unbelievable what they do how the kids are into it so we got to support guys give what you can let's keep the numbers going okay so before this wonderful event everyone on stage here picked a song or so that they felt uh connected to in some way shape or form and we wanted to also get some thoughts on uh being an extended free friedman marcus family around the world representing jewish music some of their momentous occasions or thoughts on rainbow let me ask you let me ask a question did you ever have that performance you went to a concert and our famous mama stick fire on stage you turned around to this little kid you're like wow that's my uncle avrom you ever have one of those moments i don't know if exactly that sort of moment but i can tell you when i was a child i assumed everybody had an uncle avraham freed i thought it was a standard thing you had when you were a kid and it's similar to uh like tivos hashem you just assume that there's this organization that's going to be taking care of your kids but the truth is it wasn't always hashem and in order that they should continue to beat service hashem we need people to support so i don't know how i got to that from your question but that's what it's about supporting uh hashem doing what you can now the song you chose mandy are you ready here we go this is one of the first three songs we learned as children we have to sing it every friday night [Music] wow that's a that's a classic that was one of the first album free songs we heard as children still a fantastic song and an individual of the whole family is uh mamish amazing amazing amazing amazing okay pencey you've written you've been very very much blessed with being able to write some amazing songs that touch our generation in 2020 in bond or hashem before that um uncle afraimal has songs that span so many different styles and ideas different types of lyrics how has he his music impacted the way you write a song great question so uh as you guys can attest to avramo doesn't just like a good song he really wants the best he wants it to come from his heart he wants it to be the real the real deal fire and the fire exactly and uh as we all know rebel has been a great ambassador of chabad of yiddish kite he always has a beautiful message and all of his music and he always had a unique spin on having a hit song so i think this song is a good example going back to the old days mendy take it away i remember this one day wow good one good one [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] oh [Music] foreign [Music] myself [Music] this probably what every family for bringing was you guys sitting around and singing around the coffee table and uncle our friend were listening around all right we've been seeing over here benny benny i i didn't know i i didn't know that you were related because your name is benny friedman it took me a while until you know people it's very confusing very confusing i'm sure it never happens but maybe on occasion that it does that people try to over the years put you in the same box and try to compare you to to the to the altitude or you know who obviously you can't you can't compare to anyone can compare to uncle avraham but but how do you deal with that when people are like oh he's he's so like a real he wants to be like a rainbow and uh he he'll never be or he is or he isn't how do you deal with these like comparisons that people try to make all the time first of all i never heard anybody compare me to avraham freedom that's first of all second of all that's not true third of all it is the greatest compliment for any singer in jewish music to be compared vocally to avraham free one that's honest so it is always an honor always i'm forever but here more importantly for anybody it would be such an honor to be compared to avraham freed why because i was thinking about this moroccan david they call him the king of jewish music and the has to i think they they once they introduced carl bach the reveler of jewish music what is who is avram freed in jewish media i thought about it and i think he is the hosted of jewish music right [Music] so to be like vincey said it's real it's it's ms it's it's all about the ba [Music] so to be to be compared to avraham freedom that way would be the greatest compliment and i and all my cousins are working on it so you chose this beautiful song which obviously we all sound nothing like uncle of rainbow but please try your best [Music] let's see all the avraham frida aficionados remember this song [Music] me [Music] me [Music] i [Music] me [Music] me [Music] oh yeah wow by the way ladies and gentlemen benny friedman all right we got a few before we get to our special guest who flew a long way to be here tonight i just want to highlight the fact that we have just passed eight hundred thousand dollars hashem give everybody here a round of applause for doing so and amir we will reach the goal of two million dollars ladies and gentlemen i'm joined here to my right by someone who flew a long way for mary cesaro to be here tonight with simra friedman ladies and gentlemen give him a round of applause thank you and it's not just zimcha he gets off a plane today at six o'clock in the morning and gets a call from his wife wishing him mazeltov on the birth of his brand new baby boy [Music] israelis here so i put on my status earlier today that by far you have the best impression of avramo from all the nephews you you you do a great uh arraimul interpretation okay so let me answer the question you you're the only representative from my from my understanding in the music business from the fan from the mesh bachelor and arts role in time but uh do you ever uh get comments or do people ever say anything to you about the being a avram freed extended family member do you ever get this yes of course um it's interesting because i was growing uh in space hold on one second you speak english i will try with my broken english let's see and if i ever got wrong you attempted technology uh so my father is the only from their older sister and brothers the friedmans that the representative has in heretic soil torsion was 1976. and so my parents that my my my parents they want to learn hebrew so they speak with us in hebrew to to learn hebrew so this my english my broken english came from this so i have a one uncle you know from time to time we go to visit our bobby in here in new york um so nobody i can speak with nobody in so i have one uncle okay showing me also slay me too okay but i have one uncle that's good good hebrew speaking he was fetera vermont so he by me he's not a singer deutsche berg so thank you and i am i choose a song a very nice song um i think she may hate me represent avraham is also his unique uh issue that is issued personality or personality that the oysters have a treasure of irish that's [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] is [Music] is [Music] thank you very much it was an honor and a pleasure to spend time with you one last song to sing together as we pay tribute to avraham 40 years and 40 years of hashem you ready put your mendy together [Music] my [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Applause] oh [Music] thank you thank you told everybody ladies and gentlemen thank you to the friedman family what an amazing experience to spend a couple of minutes in the living room with the friedmans now welcome back earlier in the show we asked you a question which carbon is brought after the afternoon carbon tummy now incredibly we've had 2500 responses come in in the last 30 40 minutes or so of which about 1900 were correct and the answer is the carbon pesos the carbon tolerant was usually the last carbon of the day but once a year error pay staff the carbon carbon pesach was definitely brought after the carbon thomas well we're going to have 10 winners on the board and if you didn't get it right don't worry we have another question lined up right now here's the second question what was the partition between the kodesh and the kodashika darshan made of in the first base of mikdash it's a really interesting one might not be what you think what was the partition between the kurdish and the kurdish kardashian in the first base of mikdash made of and you can find the answer in book three unit 122. what's up your number and your name within 15 minutes to the number you see at the bottom of the screen that is 805 391 7447 to win one of our 10 unbelievable hedon duffel bags again that's 805 391-7447 what was the partition between the kurdish and the kurdishak darshan made off in the first base in mikdash and my friend yoni's back what's going on yoni hey so let me ask you yoni just a few minutes ago you didn't know a thing about the don i had to tell you what it was about but now you're already smarter than benny friedman what do you think what's going through your head well i gotta be honest with you you already know i didn't join fidon for the learning i joined because of the prizes and the fun i got to see don't watch just for taking the first test akhidon booklight just for signing up a friend and i earned 75 credits that i was able to spend in the freedom store on a remote control camera drone the grand trip was incredible i never thought i would ever go skydiving and i earned a medal just for passing all for havana test that was the hook that got me to join but i got so much more than that first of all i made some great friends sedona is a passion we all have in common and it's what we talk about in our spare time also i feel for the first time in my life that it's my choice my teachers don't force me to learn fidon my parents don't force me to learn fidon i learned because i want to and it's so much better that way and it's not even hard shidong gives me the freedom to choose from four different levels of learning i started out on the side track which is easiest but i knew i could do better i was hooked now i just passed the havana track the second highest track yoni that's incredible and ladies and gentlemen did you know that over 80 percent of the kids who are in choose the havana track even though they can get away with an easy one because kids today are not like they were 20 30 years ago they have choices and there's so much more so much for them to do out there in the world they don't want to be told what to do and of course as you know you can't force kids today to do anything and this is hashem this is hashem offers programs that fulfill the needs of your children on every level hashem rewards them motivates them inspires them gives them a spence of honor and pride sivsashem gives them purpose all the while creating a generation of highly educated self-motivated confident and passionate jews best part it's a voluntary program they do it because they want it i'll catch up with you soon see you later [Applause] ladies and gentlemen i'd like to call up to the stage one of our good friends and one of the big donors of hidden and sims hashem shlomi greenwald so while we wait for shlomi to make his way up here i guess i got the stage again all for myself so let's talk about i don't know if people oh there he is you took my thunder i was just going somewhere with that you don't good to see you we need a mic for schlemmy okay i guess i have the stage again until we get a mic for schlemmy uh schlemm i got to tell you i think we both have kids in gideon and one of the incredible incredible things that i've found is uh is the impact that it has on uh on my family it's just it's been really really good and i know that you've been involved in so many fundraisers over the years uh of course uh we worked together on the first at solathon and but i know that you really care about sivis hashem in a way that really goes above board and above and beyond then tell me why what is it about civilization first of all honey it's great to be back doing uh another program together yeah let's give a round of applause for connie malecki who puts his heart and soul everyone knows honey as a musician but let me tell you a little secret his legends his mission in life is hashem so let's give him a round of applause i really do believe strongly in hashem and that's why i'm here today so those who know shimmy weinbaum know that he's very very persistent he doesn't take no for an answer and for years and years he's been calling texting when could we get together and to be honest with you i never really understood what sivis hashem does i never understood what the gidon does and this year my daughter was in fourth grade comes back comes back home and she says i want to do freedom i said let's try it out let's learn together and we start with unit one unit two unit three and i realized that this program is brilliant it's intuitive there's a lot of information is written very well for the kids and i saw that each and every time that we did a unit together i saw her vitality i saw her highest and i saw her slowly but surely love hidon and i said once bensie marcus years ago said a very good word somebody asked him what type of music do you listen to he says i listen to what my kids listen to so when you're involved with your kids in a real way that's what you get involved in and hashem the rest is history that's incredible and i have the same experience i have today with me my son he's turned 10 years old today it's a happy birthday mayor and one of the things that i'm so so proud of him is how much he learns for he done he just doesn't stop i've caught him in bed after bedtime a few times learning and you can can't just help that smile and be happy that this is the kind of rebellion my kid is putting on so you're telling me that it affects your kid how does it affect you does it affect you your family tactic we learn yes it affects me very much but on a serious note um it brings tremendous tremendous passion into the house i'm learning things that i thought i knew before i realized i don't i'm inspired by my kid's passion yiddish guys and um what should i say that's incredible so what would you tell other people who are watching today both as a parent and as a donor uh why should we give and what if we've already given and of course some parents already pay into the program why should peop we give again we have a two million dollar goal today we're not anywhere close to it let's just face it and we really really need to get there we need people to dig back into their pockets again and again and again why should they what do you say it's a great question honey in life we're used to being firefighters there's a tragedy somebody in this passes away we just now had ukraine we're used to or wired that when there's crisis that's how we that's how we answer there's a fire we take water and we put out the fire we have to a little bit rewire the way we think and instead of using water to put out fires let's use water to plant seeds there's surme ra and there's ase taif i'm not god forbid taking away from all the good and the this community and the jewish community does but we have to instead of being on the defense be on the offense tivos hashem is the rebels hashem anybody who has children in the tivos hashem knows how much shivers hashem does the hedon is just one program and look 3 000 kids going on a trip tomorrow is just unbelievable who do you think pays for this there's a lot of money that comes in through the parents yes but it's not enough so if there's one message i have tonight let's invest in our children's it hurts a little bit i just gave last week to this campaign i just gave to hatsallah campaign i gave to this campaign the abrister blightness i'm asking everybody tonight that connie says we're far from the goal but if each and every one can stretch a little bit give even if you gave give again and the abrasive says one thing if there's one thing you could test me on that's the myth of sadaka so please let's invest in our children's and i promise you like like rabbi farquhar said before you will see a beautiful roi the way that you said that i am so touched i think that was from the heart i feel it thank you very very much and i want to point out this is this is not just a fundraiser for people who have already been involved in service hashem or in the hedon this is for everybody out there the kidand.com is the place where

per question thousand per question connie you tell me all right fourteen thousand dollars for civilization ladies and gentlemen let's give them a round of applause and please join us in one week from today on base missing for the highly anticipated international video mitzvahs game show and award ceremony see you there it was two o'clock in the morning i was fast asleep when all of a sudden the phone rang at my house robbie groener answered he said rabbi bin yamadson are you by any chance now in the office i said rabbit grown at 2 o'clock in the morning i'm not in the office i'm busy sleeping he says i need you to go there immediately because i just got a phone call from a lady that her daughter was in a very serious car accident and the rebbe said to me make sure that immediately she should be lifted up to a higher level to a higher rank in civilization and that will help that she should get well much much quicker so therefore i need you to go right now to change her rank in civilization so i put on my clothes i ran to the office and in those days there were no computers this was the beginning of the 1980s but we did have about 60 000 index cards with every child's name and address i found the card i was looking for i took a pen and i updated her rank as the reba had requested then i went back home i went back to sleep a few days later rabbi groener called me and told me that you should know that i just got a phone call from the mother of the girl and the bar hashem she's much better and she's even on her way home now from the hospital ladies and gentlemen boys and girls and all of you at home especially we'd like to welcome now executive director of the jewish children's museum and sims hashem international rabbi you're ahmiel benjaminson welcome thank you so rabbin yamsen you're at the helm of really what i consider probably the most extraordinary and important organization today so let us know how did this all start people think that hashem started 40 years ago but in truth you know we're coming now to pesach hashem himself gave the name to the jewish people every single jew is really a member of hashem okay so that's not the answer i was expecting i was expecting something about 40 years so when you say that every single jew is a soldier of tim hashem what does that mean it's very simple every jew is a part of the army of hashem but our army is very different it's not an army with weapons or tanks or airplanes our weapons are tyra mitzvahs and that's what hashem made us his army to go out to make a more beautiful world a dear bethanim through learning terror through doing mitzvoth through avast israel etc okay so if that's the case then why sis hashem should be an an organization for everybody what is it about children that you've created an organization that the citizenship was created directly targeting children and directly welcoming children so forty years ago halamaitsukis staffs the rebbe said he wants to have a rally with the children and all the kids came to 770 and the rabbit introduced this idea of hashem specifically for children and the reason is we know in every army we have special ops we have special soldiers that are on the front lines and they're the ones who helped bring the victory and the rebel had a lot of faith in the children and that's why he felt that children under the age of barabas mitzvah they should be called civilization so that's incredible and but what is the what's the spice of success what's the secret of success how do you get thousands of kids to voluntarily join in this program and do torah mitzvos learn do missions mithsiam uh shabbas mavar kim tahilim uh it just goes on and on learning the gunnim telling stories of sadiq how do you get them to do that of their own free will what what's your secret very good question right from the beginning the rabbi himself said and most of the things that we do in sivis hashem are heroes directly from the rabbit there was never such a project in the history of lubavitch that the rabbit should spend 250 circus 80 for our brangans only for kids only for kids so the rebbe guided us and the rebels said you want kids to be excited give them prizes let them do the mitzvos with joy with happiness let kids want to be a member of this hashem we don't force anybody to be a member but kids want to be on it just like we see with the khidon just like we see with saying to hillam and chavez just like they go ahead and to get ranks and points and go up and become generals the rabbit was the one who said we should parade the kids and the kids should go up in rank this is all the rebels ideas we're just facilitating it we're just bringing it out and we've seen how phenomenal of an idea the rabbit had with civilization and absolutely and i see that from my own family's experience that the power of tiff's hashem is the ownership that the kids feel of their own yiddishkai of their own torah of their own mitzvos they feel this belongs to them it's their choice and they run with it robbie bjornsson thank you so much for being with us today and please keep up the incredible incredible work [Applause] okay we're back to the fundraising to the leaderboard and we have an incredible milestone that happened since we saw you last we have passed one million dollars in fact way past a million dollars we're at 1.13 million dollars and once again we're here with moshi tell us what's going on okay as you said we're at 1 million 100 33 that's great that's fantastic the numbers are starting to climb even more impressive almost 700 donors we're almost getting to that amount that's individual people that are donating and i want to mention a few of them which are outstanding donations some of the big numbers are coming in and we're really really really happy but again the small numbers are important as well thirty six thousand dollars for the life-saving work from this hashem from an anonymous donor david friedman seven years old son of benny friedman who's singing so beautifully donated eighteen dollars tonight thank you fifty thousand dollars from the biggest fan of chives hashem and that's all i have i will take that that's right that wasn't me we have here a fifty thousand dollar donation from the shakhtar family charitable trust [Music] mayor yussi katz thank you so much for 18

the uh our dear friend your ahmil jacobson 50 000 and ice cream for all the kids in gideon thank you so much here in crown heights we are so grateful my friends it's been said again and again we are donating we are giving here for the future of claudia stroll we are in a special time the time between purim and pesach and pesach leads him to shivers all three i'm gonna tell you from all three of these holidays when mordechai hoodie saw how dangerous and the peril that the entire jewish nation was the first thing that he did was gather all the children in shush nabira and to gather them to teach torah he invested in the children when para he told maisha who wants to leave egypt maisha the first one maisha said was benarenu and then he said the rest of the people he said when paris was asking him who wants to leave he said who wants who's going to actually leave and maisha said our children have the greatest sense of courage to go out and be the people to be the future leaders of klaus strong bring the midbar into the entirety straw and finally we know that before hashem gave the torah to the eden he asked who will be the arabic and of course it was the children who are the ones that to to take this as well i'm going to go a little off script over here and share a powerful powerful story that i just heard every shabbos from rabbi shimi weinbaum this is a story that happened with mr goldhurst from australia where i come from he came to the rebel one time and says i would like to make a massive donation for a crown heights hospital and the rebbe said maybe consider putting it in mr goldheart says what are you talking about why would i do that and the rebel says because when you invest in children's education you will not have a need for the hospital and i want to i think that's such a powerful thing on so many levels and we're going to ask everyone here to please remember when you invest in children's if you give and you give again beyond the call of duty and beyond your comfort level we don't need anything else it's all good it's all bronchus as jimmy said it's all zahav it's all gold ladies and gentlemen thank you very much and let's welcome

to see now is absolutely incredible we are waiting for rabbi shimi weinbaum who is the director of kitan international and khayolitsi hashem one of the most incredible visionaries that i've ever met and of course everybody's favorite general rabbi shimi weinbaum [Applause] hello rabbi so look i've known you for a long long time we've been friends and a couple of years ago you hired me to help you with the very first heat on where we had 45 kids today it's over 6 000 and we're just getting started was this all planned in fact when we started and we had 45 and i told people we're gonna have five thousand they all laughed but when we have six thousand and we tell everybody we're going for sixty thousand i think everybody's on board that's absolutely so what's the secret of success like parents and teachers around the world they're trying to get their kids motivated and you've done it you've done it in such an incredible way in so many ways whether it's the shams of him to hillary's whether it's the the uh the night campaigns the same campaigns the it just goes on and on and on so what is your secret how do you do it it's not really my secret it's the rebels believe in kids they actually want to do what hashem wants innately and it's just a matter of instead of forcing them and making them do it because you want them to do it realize that they want to do it and we've tapped into every single possible way of motivating the child from their of bahamas till the next shell the kiss and everything in between and you see the results kids want to do the right thing just give them the opportunity absolutely and i see that in my own family and and i thank you so much uh for all that you have built of course with the profits that you have now here's what the real question i want to ask you it feels like sims hashem is constantly doing more and more programs you have the kayale rank program which everybody knows about and those who don't know about it should find out because it's incredible you have weekly magazines the international hidden the popular oys tv mini series regular rarities broadcast parades what's next well this is as you said this is just the beginning where right now what we're doing is we're moving into the future what yoni told me i can play with this until my next part sorry i didn't tell you about this but yeah this is the idea show don't tell and this is exactly what we're doing you see the way terra has been given over throughout the generations imagine when it was tourish about people sitting there just listening to their teacher until the revolutionary then there was torah scrolls you were able to look inside a scroll and then a few hundred years ago there was books now we've moved on when i was a kid we had blackboards in chalk and then we went further to having the beautiful smart boards in classrooms and now the incredible sara royados curriculum full color graphics amazing but all of that is learning from the book reading the material and trying to commit it to memory i want you to imagine what would be if the children wouldn't have to learn from the books but instead of reading and learning they would experience it just imagine instead of learning about the carbon pesach actually bringing it imagine instead of learning about tremors and meisters actually separating them imagine instead of just learning about the menera in the bayside mikdash you were there in the bay samekdash next to a real claim and actually experiencing lighting the manera wouldn't that be cool but i'll tell you a very big secret you don't have to imagine anymore this is real and for the very very first time we are so proud to announce a very very revolutionary program without torah vr team [Applause] [Music] yeah what are you doing here what am i doing here i'm waiting for the torah vr experience but this is something completely different crown sounds interesting let's go where we going [Music] sahara [Music] foreign [Music] about six ounces enough to last even the longest with your knights okay now it's time [Music] i did occur and rekindle the central flame if it went out from any of the menorah's flings had to start a new flame from a flintstone from the flames of them as veya that's a tough one i took off the goggles and i came back to the room i said oh my gosh i was like in the whole other world now that the the height of the of the pereiras and the the curtains and the walls it's just unbelievable now what i'm saying might sound you know exaggerating but if you saw what i saw you'll agree it's absolutely mind-boggling back in the day there wasn't much to see so we had to hear today the kids want to see the children want to see show me show me so they have videos and they have this and they have that but this this is a whole new level that will capture the imagination of the children like nothing ever before nothing nothing comes close to this nothing can compare to this and it's about being you get to see the midsole it's unbelievable how to do the mitzvah what it looked like the size the measurement the color the the specifications it's absolutely unbelievable i wish i wish i could show it to my grandchildren when i put those goggles of my head and i was in the base of my dash i looked at that maneuver in a way i've never seen it before it was proportionate to the size of the base i make dash the height of the caihen all of a sudden lighting the mineral became real this is a completely different world it's something that you have to experience it to actually i can't tell you about this that's going back to the old-fashioned classroom you have to be there not only see it experience it lighting the renata and then you can get it i can't do justice to it barakasha and we have a partner like thomas hashem that's going to allow us to keep doing more and more work to create more and more curriculums more and more content that will reach children of every walk of life and change the way they interact with and experience tara they experience their their heritage where they experience and understand what the future is going to look like there's nothing like it the rebber's vision was always very forward-thinking we know the rebel wanted to put citize on the radio already in the 60s and in the 80s the rebels doing hanukkah live and essentially brought today what we call zoom to life so we see technology as an enhancement a way to spread yiddish kite and working with kridan has given us special access to use the yahoo's curriculum to bring all the 613 meters we're going to have the entire toyota available within the next couple years but already starting next school year this will be available for everybody met sasha the future is the base hamikdash really this is the next step so when we get to the baseline dutch we'll know exactly where to go and where the moneta is and up and not to have to ask directions by the information desk where's the menu where's the candles you know exactly where to go and what to do the only thing is these kids have to know that some places are off limits to them if they're not hello [Music] wasn't that incredible people we have the team here who created this torah vr you can check them out at toravr.com but here's the most important thing we can now sponsor a unit we're going to do every mitzvah in the torah you can sponsor each unit for sixty thousand dollars at the hedon.com and this is gonna be the most incredible thing the most incredible revolution the next frontier tell us what's going on okay we are winding down the evening we're at one million two hundred fifty we're at 414 donors that's tremendous but we still need to keep going we've got to get to our goal whether it's going to be at the finish line tonight or whether we keep going this is an honest organization not like other organizations at the last 15 minutes oh we hit our goal yankel yanko no no no we are gonna hit the goal when hashem wants us to hit the goal but we need people to step up and to give and to give generously there are children around the world that have put together their few pennies a hundred

organization is so on behalf of my family and my wife kanchi maleki as well would like to add five thousand dollars to the board [Music] thank you well ladies and gentlemen it's been an incredible evening and if you want to know what children today need hashem is what they need yes hashem gives children rewards and trips knowledge pride passion and success but ultimately civ hashem isn't just a program it's a life and it brings a sense of mission and purpose you don't have to tell the kids that they're doing hashem's mission they know it you don't have to tell them that they're bringing mashiach they get it and you don't have to tell them that they matter they feel it they know it they get it they feel it so invest in your children invest in your family invest in your community
