he isn't sure and which is the real me
364 days a year or one day a year the
real me comes out once a year and that's
the real me
and yet Yom Kippur we know yes that's
the real me I'm where I belong doing
what I belong doing why because this is
Who I am
there was a hostage in the times of that
SEMATECH the third Rebbe of Habad who
was in business and he would travel to
the European Centers of Commerce and as
such he would mingle with the non Jews
who were in his business his line of
business and he felt in order to remain
competitive he had to mix in with them
and he started dressing not in the
Hasidic style but he started dressing in
the European fashions of the time of the
mid 19th century so he would dress in
the in the European non Jewish style
then when he would come tula Babak when
we'd come to Labov each to the town of
Lubavitch to visit his rabbit that's mr
sadýk he would put on the Hasidic garb
and dress like he used to dress this
went on for many years and finally he he
got tired of it he got tired of being a
hypocrite why am I trying to fool the
river so the next time he came to Labov
and she came dressed in his business
clothes and he went into your hideous he
went into his private meeting with the
some exotic dressed in his business
clothes and did some exotic asked him
why you dressed like that
he said rather I'm done I can't fool you
any more this is how I dress all year
forever that some ascetic said to him
Casa Shalom god forbid you don't fool me
you're fooling them you're fooling them
364 days a year this is how you look
one day year this is how you look which
is the real me I would think if this is
how I act all the time except for this
one exception the real me is how I am

true not true just like Yom Kippur even
though even though even though it's one
day a year but that's the real you
