Why Everyone is Hiding Their Eyes in 2025 #vayimaen #whataday Ep. 28 | English

Wow. [Music] We were za two months ago to come back from. I was on the plane and I stumbled upon a full hour of clips of vao and it empowered me so strongly had such a big impact on me. I felt so uplifted coming down from a plane first time in my life. You know how you come off a plane and I decided then and there to make some phone calls, pull some strings and find out who is behind Vimo and tell them we got to make a day behind the scenes of Vimo. So today we are not going to meet anyone in person from the organization. Obviously it's by design that nobody knows who is behind this. So every kind of Jew can feel comfortable watching this stuff. If it would be a breast lover, if it would be a litfisher, if it would be a spati, if it would be a belleer, you would always associate it by stigma with someone. So in order for it to stay a kalisal thing that every Jew can feel comfortable watching, they have the full diversity variety from all the rabanim and then you can feel comfortable watching it as a yeid. This is meant for clalis. So today we're going to meet a bunch of people who are associated with but not directly in the organization. Let's go. >> One of the people involved in videoing all these amazing beautiful videos once gets a clip and he takes a look and it says produced by this one and dedicated by this one and dedicated by that one and that one and that one and he looks at the clip and he's like I recognize these clips. I made this. This is Vimayan but we didn't have all of these dedications. That means somebody's taking these videos and actually adding dedications, making money, and then sending it out. So this person felt the moral need to send it to one of the founders and share with him what's going on. And one of the founders said, "It's perfectly fine. We have one agenda and one agenda only, and that is that the message should get out. people want to use it and hijack it and make money off it and get sponsors, so be it. Let the message get out. It's a very powerful story because in life the moment we realize that we don't own anything and we can just let go and be channels for God's infinite love and light and wisdom and healing. We experience oursel in such a deeper way. We tune into the frequency of bliss because the frequency of bliss is right near the frequency of surrender, of faith, of love, and of trust. When I'm trying to hold on, I remain safe, small, and in control, but also locked up in my ego. When I could let go and just say, I'm a channel. I don't own anything. I'm a channel for Hashem's infinity. You know what happens? You and I also become infinite. And we also experience infinite joy and infinite bliss. That's the success of aim. >> Now we are on the way to meet Rabbi Yitzy Walner, a producer and a composer. Let's go. [Music] Let's see the honor. It should be called What? What a day. What an honor. >> You saw any of the What a Days. >> Yeah, I did. I did a saw the one with um Stfansky, Rabbi Stfansky. >> Oh, the Hebrew the English. >> Vu what it strikes me and I I did a segment for them and I I had a story with Mike with two people that I knew were on the airplane and one one of them was Macab not to not to look anything uh was a Vuan listener and a watcher basically to to be you know you know sh to really be, you know, and he took his glasses off in the airport when they got to the plane, his screen was broken the whole time. >> Just like that. >> Just like that because he >> and when he switched over seats with the other guy, the other screen stopped working and their screen started working. >> Don't believe. So that's to me one of the most important things and and to see how they've grown using the technology >> the world use technology to draw you into uses technology to draw you out of it into the kadusha. >> Wow. >> That's why it's here in the world. >> Amazing. [Music] I want to tell you a story. I never repeat the story to anybody. So I was making a and my wife, she's usually the one that goes around shopping. You know, you know what the foyer looks like? one shopping bag after another shopping bag. It looks like there's a recycling company for shopping bags, right? I don't have to tell you. >> Yeah. >> And Canada was tough times and and and and the money was not uh so readily available. But when it came to buying suits from my kids, I went with my wife for the kind. So I went to the store and it was packed. Store was jam-packed. And there were many challenges for many challenges. It was either store but it was challenges. And I walked in and I said, "What am I going to do here?" I Whatever. And I I put my glasses like this, put it up, put it down. I told a bunch of I'm going to do whatever I can to save myself from the mat. And I walked in. I walked on this aisle, that aisle. I whatever. They did all kinds of to get around trying to not, you know, as best as I could. We got close to the cashier and my wife had a credit card. We know we're very tight. It was right before the already. We were very tight. I got a $5,000 zel from a friend of mine. Tells me I know you're making sure you can use the extra cash. [Music] Nice meeting you. >> Likewise, >> bro. You look much more energetic in person. >> Oh, wow. >> Thank you so much. Shalom. Nice meeting you. >> What is the essence of? >> It's to give people an awareness that the world is not Hefka. Whatever we do is important. Small things seem small things we're used to things normal things seems to be normal and we have to know that normal is only what the says and if the says to be careful how you look at things so people need an awareness this could be done either by directly speaking about many people do that or it could be talking about the what's a this morning I walked into the bdish and BMG someone I don't know looks at me I said don't tell me they showed my my video today he said yeah I just See, I'm looking at you and I see the picture and you look the same. >> You should know I'm doing this for 2 years and I could tell you stories from today till tomorrow of things that happened to me just because I looked away. >> So, how come it took so many years that it was taboo and all of a sudden it's a normal thing to talk about which was a big >> No, I don't know. I really I can't tell you this. You have to I'm just have this that they asked me to say once in a while but the truth is they try not to talk openly but everyone knows what you mean, >> right? everyone understands and uh very I think there's a lot of women listening to this also say they have to be careful it's not and it's a overall and everyone could tell it too to where they want to but is >> it's for everything [Music] stays only in Mach if It's and this is the trick. If the if it's then doesn't want to be there. >> So this is mazakhina's place. But >> this is what brings the and maintains the and gives us the and this is the protection from all of the and it's not me that's saying it. It's all >> why were we only now to do this? Every givesim opportunities forim. It's not only now. It's been in the past. And there were people who worked on this way more than we ever did. It just wasn't so much in the open. But the consciousness of people was a natural consciousness that maybe wasn't as necessary. This is a walkthrough in the studio of Vimoan, right? There's a official Vimoan sign on the door, which I love. >> Yeah, >> it's the first time I see the Vimoan logo anywhere besides on my screen every morning. >> Okay, >> but this soft box, come on, man. >> I tell you what the story with this soft box is. Sometimes we have different types of people who speak, right? So you have um >> a bigger tall guy and a smaller >> It's more have to do with the hats. >> Some people insist I like to have no hats because I can get you probably know I can get that shadow. >> Well, there's a shadow and also the mic >> and get it closer, right? So the mic I can't do anything about either. Okay, fine. >> But this will s make that transition between light and dark much less. It'll be much more soft. >> So you get a softer. So the bigger the box is, the softer it is the light. >> The soft that is physics. Yeah, you can get it. The softer the light. And that's why >> I I got a small soft box so I can move in and out fast. >> It's true. It helps with that. But if you want to be able to wrap the light around, >> this is one C thing stand. >> I don't have by the way, I don't have it that big on my portables. >> Right. Right. >> But once it's set up, >> once it's set up, it's great. Yeah. Um, >> what else do we have over here? I have over I don't know if you see over here with this mic is a this is a >> it looks cool. >> Yeah, it's an it's a Russian mic. >> Okay. >> Which it's it's a classic. It's a cult classic. You can take a look the >> picks up good sound. >> Octavia. Yeah, it's very it's really it picks up. >> So you have a separate machine, but it does go directly into the camera. >> It goes No, I get it into the mix pre. The mix pre is uh is my it's the it's the mixer, right? >> So you're sending two cameras plus audio every time. I always yeah I recorded the audio separately because you get a much cleaner sound on here and the preamps are great and I sent it to the to the camera you know the just in case just well yeah to have >> it gets original audio too. >> So you see it's on 3%. Sorry 3%. So >> it's at 100. >> I think it's bright. >> Looks like the sun just came up. >> Yeah. So we got that 3%. >> Okay. >> Um >> Yes. So Manasha what he does is he calls everyone calm down we need you please be mazik >> so I happen to know the founder of the organization >> okay which nobody knows >> nobody knows >> and there's a reason behind it which I explained >> yes um I happen to know him a little bit he was looking for someone who was willing to make some phone calls and send some texts and actually just take a certain part of the uh um >> burden >> burden off and most of My job is calling Robundum who are happy to do it. I don't really harass anyone. >> Ah, you don't deal with the with the hard ones. >> We'll try to make one one shoot a month per city and we'll go to we try to do in my Brooklyn the five towns and here in Lakewood here we have a studio in my in Brooklyn. We have two families that have opened their homes every single time. >> So those are the four main places. >> And sometimes you go to deal New Jersey or >> in the summer we'll go to Deal New Jersey. We've been to Chicago once. We've been through once >> and usually we had to do each person in their own house whenever they're available. It's just it's a whole different >> it's harder >> situation there. >> First we didn't really know what was going to what was going to be like I interviewed like people and like it was like a big mush >> and then we you know we we took we we we put out uh I guess you know the editor put together things and we knew we developed a a method >> a style. Yeah. >> A method. It's it's really now it's it's >> today people call me >> make me a video like really I just did one for kamala they wanted the voy style footage >> that's how they explain it >> I know I know I don't get those calls I get calls from video producers I got a call asking >> and then they go how do we do it okay >> so vine is now ashemdov like everybody knows about it >> yeah I was in Florida with my wife and I'm in show and the guy he knew he knows I do video he says you got to see this video I'm like okay let me see he shows me so I was like oh that's funny like I thought oh wow this like >> it's starting to reach bigger audience >> I started thinking like you know I don't usually get people showing me oh and then showing me my video like >> something you did >> doesn't uh you and not them not knowing that I did it you know what I'm saying yeah I had no idea marketing >> yeah that that is on you. >> It's a Brooklyn thing. You're like, "Ah, somebody taking my parking." >> Somebody that almost poor kid. I didn't even look. I was just pulling out and pulling in. You want to hear a good joke? Look. You see this parking lot outside the studio? It's all empty. There's about a thousand spots. But me with my Brooklyn eyes, look what I was doing. I was grabbing grabbing the coyak a parking spot over here. Oh, I don't even know if it's legal. See that first one now? Now I'm the first one. Before I was mama squeezing in. [Music] As we are approaching Brooklyn, we are going to visit Rabbi Yitzk Finger. I think [Music] Why did you get into this? >> Because we love the Kindle. >> When was the moment you said I need to open a place? >> You know, I was contemplating how to save Nishas and I realized that Brooklyn has more fry than anywhere else in the entire Western Hemisphere. >> How did you realize that? >> There was almost 70%. I looked up the numbers and I said there was no kira center in the entire Brooklyn. You have Denver, Colorado has a cur. How many Jews they have there? Right. Every city in America sender and Brooklyn was the yasum [Music] is reaching people more than any other media today in the world. Bay is incredible. says that the last generation before Mashiach is going to have the worst temptation and this is going to be the generation though that's going to bring Mashiach because if you're able to withstand from the hardest temptations you're and no matter how removed you think you are from the bon you're closer than you could ever imagine. So this is our result. Who's making this happen? Vim. Vim is that facilitator. Vim is bringing Msiah is bringing the goolah. Because Vim is helping people work on themselves to get rid of the nonus. It's not saying don't. It's saying how holy you are, how special you are. It's giving people a positivity. It's giving people a perspective that no one else gave before. every single day you open up your WhatsApp or your email whatever it is and you get ah this is it >> this is my sh this is my connection >> I've met people from curio from new square from Williamsburg they watch me mine I meet people that are litfish from BMG and Lakewood from brisk and erine I meet people that are modern mine kids there been mechanic kids how many kids have stopped me we Watch my mind. Unbelievable. >> Brings Colorado together. >> Brings Kiso together. >> So now we finished with Rabbi Finger and now we're going to the studio in Brooklyn, the studio setup to meet Saka and the two robot that are going to be interviewed. [Music] It's a wonderful videographer. I once did eight clips in a row and it took off like wildfire. I met people all over the world recognizing my voice from remembering the or the story or the mice or the inspiration and I'm one of so many so many people are doing it's made a revolution in you can do it just do it even if it's one time even if it's for 10 minutes. You lived an elevated life for 10 minutes. You lived a life of kadusha and the most put together, down to earth, coolest people I've ever met, not necessarily dressed like me, are into they watch it every single day. It has an impact on their hearts. What does in the age of technology and so many distractions is godless because it's simplicity. Simplicity is profoundity. You start small and you grow great. And that's what has done for. >> Why do they need it every single day? >> That's how you change. You change three minutes a day. meaning it's reinforces and each person is inspired by something else. One person can be inspired by a rasha by a by >> that's why they need diversity >> diversity and everyone has a different message. I meet guys that say oh that mama should change my life. [Applause] [Music] One important thing before I forget, like, subscribe, and comment because it matters and it helps and it means something. Of course, if you can super like, that's even better. Um, there is a status for WhatsApp. Please, I'll put the link below and sign up for it today to see a bunch of behind the scenes and over there you can meet Rabbi Anthony in person. [Applause] When I first heard of I said it's great, but this is not going to work. I don't expect people to watch like flashes on like Shmeir is something people run away from and you're hitting them in the computer and you're telling them not to watch. I mean it this ask any psychologist, ask anyone that studies, you know, human behavior, ask Madison Avenue. This is this doesn't make sense. The fascinating thing about is you're right doesn't make sense. If we made sense, he wouldn't be here anymore. It's it's just a it's just a it's just a and a gift to there's nothing I do that has as much feedback as why is it that one somebody works on something and it doesn't help him for the next day what you just said about right he needs another m every day. Why is it why is the B like this? I think it's there's a reason we're alive and the reason we're alive is because of so if there wasn't a new challenge every single day is okay fine times up you do have to do this this is the bra of life >> so must do one every day >> I think so >> wow >> I think so somewhere out there there's someone that didn't do an who's taking the of him not having been stopped >> and shabas it's easier >> shabas has its own koshabas takes all the things he saw during the week and puts it together and makes a beautiful bouquet of flowers at >> right. Thank you so much very much. >> Okay, we just finished with the official. We are now heading to the five towns to meet living. [Music] I think until now in the past few years, there's been a lot of Jewish content, but I don't think anyone stepped it up to the Mount Vine is compacting the most powerful inspirational stories and Tyra and experience from the the top people that I can get on my show and they're showcasing how important it is to live life with proper eyes and the idea is great but how they do it the fact that they could get so many people that they're looking at their phone for the news and that's it but they're getting people who I have like massive a I can never f I with Vimo video I could watch it from beginning to end and walk away with something substantial [Music] [Applause] I know my friends that they they literally some of them they never had a filter on the phone. Some of them dropped their smartphone to get just a flip phone because of Vayim. >> Wow. Yakov, it's a pleasure. Thank you so much. >> We just walked out of the living lheim studios. We are getting into the car and hopefully hopefully catching Abraalik in Bora Park, Brooklyn, New York. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] If you don't get if you don't talk about it then you fall. something like a if you don't talk about the you lose their you talk about it you bring up subjects people talking about it it becomes like a talk of the town people have more uh more feelings to it and they think before it helps me by the way >> it helps me since I started talking I had a few times that I hadn't And I was thinking to myself, hey Schlimey, you're talking about he can't do that. >> And I was like, you're right. I was talking to myself. And it helped me when when when you you you talk about it, it it uh it uh wakes up the inside the really really about 100 years ago if somebody would put out a Vimoan video, people were laughing at them. You have sugar, you have tavis, go don't tell anyone about it, >> right? >> And we're open about it and and the street is is is uh full of it and we're dealing with it every second and every minute. And it's amazing how people people came over to me by weddings. Somebody told me he's 65 years old. He started watching my morning and he says I'm 65 years old. I never knew that looking at women is a problem. really >> mish. >> Wow. >> And he told me more that he started to walk home from sh. He started to look at the sidewalk. >> After two after two days, um he gets a phone call from his neighbor if everything is okay. He says, "Why? Your wife told me that you're looking for something on you lost something on the on the sidewalk. Keep on walking." Yeah. He says, "Yeah, I lost my sh I'm looking for it." >> Wow. Oh, >> so uh even even even you hear one of those stories. Yeah, >> it's you should find it's it's it's on not to say >> wow >> when I was a whole topic of was like a type of thing I'll tell you there's like a de in the head that the he wants we should do then is a hidden god I don't know where he is that he sends out and all type of stuff happens to be the same bash the same that created the world and created created say created the createdness every you have is created by the same creator that designed the whole world why are you so shy about it what it's >> meant to be this way >> yes >> so what did let's speak about it let's be open >> the thing that we know everybody has the same gives us the strength to go forward you should know the mak we know the mak went dump yeah went gradually more and more more more up until the worst Mak was Makas. So let's think if Makas is the worst. So what is the second? >> Mak not is not so bad. It's a blackout. Yeah. Only a blackout. Come on. You know means frogs in your sandwiches. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Much worse. >> Much worse. You know why was the second to the worst? was one thing but all other a person knew I'm suffering you're suffering we all suffer together everybody thought he's himself in this whole battle so what I'm thinking now as I'm speak what is to tell us don't look right this is we all have the same we have the same we all want to be that's What Vimon is all about in a nutshell. [Music] I just arrived in Israel in Samaria. That's how you say it. Samaria. I was actually never here in my life. I never had the guts. But what don't we do for Vimo? So here in this part of Israel lives the headquarters of the editing from Vimu. We're going to meet Kim. Let's go. for [Music] [Applause] [Music] Wait a second. Look at this sign. I love this sign. How many hours do you spend on this a day? >> So in the beginning it was like around 3 four hours per video. Uh but as we went on so also um so the thing is that we we've been doing already hundreds of videos literally hundreds of videos >> so every time like to look for stock footage and I don't want to reuse the same footage again and again again so and also not the same music so I'm it takes longer and longer to do things to find new stuff and so now already it takes like between six and seven hours so I get the footage sometimes sometimes not. So I first of all I have the audio which I need to level cuz some of the times the rabbis you know some of the times they talk loudly sometimes they whisper >> you need to make sure you hear all along. So first >> so the audio I need to level out and also color grading to make to make the two cameras the same color because it's usually it's not exactly the same and also maybe to enrich a little bit >> right >> um and if it's a green screen to find the background. >> Okay. >> Then I need to go through the rabbi. Sometimes we have a few takes. Sometimes the rabbi says this is it twice. So then I need to find the best parts in both and and put it together. Sometimes the rabbis talk over 3 minutes and then I need to shorten it to our 3 minute span. >> So the footage is the hardest part. >> The footage is the hardest part. Yes. >> Wow. And that's what makes it so special and so unique and that's why people love watching it because there's so much going on and it's >> the music and the and the footage. Right. >> And then there's the AI pictures. When does this come in? When do you decide you need to need AI pictures? >> Yeah. So AI is when I can't find anything and I have just and I have nothing to find and I want to >> visualize the story in a certain in a certain way. So I so I try to go over to AI. AI is also challenging because you write one thing and it gives you something else and sometimes you need to like try again and try again till you finally get to the right picture and sometimes even that I need to take the Photoshop and still fix it up a little bit. >> Um so it's also a process. So I want to ask you what was the biggest challenging video you had so far? >> Actually I recently had I recently had a video which I had literally nothing to here also the weird part about AI here. Here for instance I want a rabbi learning but it puts the rabbi behind the book and here I was looking for oh this was with and yeah so in the beginning I used this one but then then they asked me if I can have something which looks more >> so then I put it into another program which slows it down. >> Wow. So >> it's all for one. >> All for one. Exactly. So that's that's why I hesitate going to AI. I try to I try to do without AI. So the background is fake but it's beautiful. >> And these are sketches that you >> I think maybe we'll play it from the video itself. >> Dive aka Philip who married Herman's daughter Freda who tragically passed away of her life leaving him with children. >> Wow. >> Did you get it? It's all about positivity and a lot of times especially with so it's always like you know how dangerous it is and how bad it is and how what's going to be if somebody does it and here it's all about how good it will do to you and how it's a and how much you'll get about you'll get for it and also it's not even only about so like sometimes like you know people say okay so it's just for men it's not for women but a lot of these videos are just talking in general about how to face challenges in life. On the way up here, we just realized there's a place named Mitzpef which is across Nablus. This is a outlook that you can actually see the entire including the Ky of Yoshadic exactly right there by the white keepa which means this is a whole circle right now. Vim the name came from Yasvatik and here we are. You're safe. You're safe. You're safe. [Music]
