Let's get closer.
[Music]
Sometimes it's
[Music]
happen.
[Music]
We're never alone.
But I'm also sharing
everything that has within
IV
is the one who tells us that the G is
close.
We're just a few days away.
Few moments
power given.
So when we decide in our moment, we say
the voice should be ready to come to you
no matter how we look like
because you are our father.
And the only one who wants us no matter
how we look like
is our father.
[Music]
And if we feel connected and we feel
disconnected and we feel we feel my
father
because I don't feel connected to my
father
tells us
a healthy and sticky way is that you are
really connected.
So heaven my sh
[Music]
I sh
like voice of the Holy
name.
[Music]
We're here live full of life with a
heart.
We open our hearts and we get connected
to the high.
It's not called.
[Music]
It's called
[Music]
Sometimes we prepare. We're so ready to
meet the king.
But sometimes we're so broken,
so not ready.
And we have to meet our father.
[Music]
But we have a name, our kindness.
He's the same.
Our father and our king.
And when our king is also our father,
we're allowed to get him. foreign.
[Music]
We're so embarrassed. We're ashamed
for we're not afraid
cuz we know
we have nothing to say.
[Music]
We'll have to one thing one way only.
If we would not this way, we'll be so in
trouble.
We will be so far away from you.
Ju and I
you showed us that if we fall down we
don't stay on the floor.
We just fall down in order to know how
to get up.
So if we feel ourselves falling, you
know,
this is just a sign that
shows you I see you and I want to teach
you.
That means we're enrolled. We're fully
enrolled in parliament. We are the
children.
And that's why it says
[Music]
Let me share with you a story.
Everybody who is gonna be in a month
where not you're invited over
there
will still be
in
connect cuz if we close our eyes
if we close our eyes that's the only way
we can really see
cuz our eyes are open. We're full of
distraction.
And if we close our eyes,
we close your eyes. Only that's when you
can say
[Music]
because we have so many questions. We're
so in pain. We have so many questions
without answer.
But Hashem says just one thing, close
your eyes.
If you close your eyes, you'll really
start to see.
So our eyes are open with judge. We have
so much judgmental things on others, on
ourselves, on our situations.
Just close your eyes
and the light will open up and you'll
see so much more.
on the left hand your right hand is
ready to accept us no matter what
and that's why we asking is coming here
and I'm showing you my boo I'm showing
you my
because when someone is in pain father
says I just behaved
no
say goodbye.
He sees that he picks up the child and
he hugs him and he says, "My king, the
last thing I want you should be in
pain."
So, I'd like to share with you a story.
Everybody knows you go to Oman, there's
three things you got to do.
That's why
you say
my promises
[Music]
by the fire.
[Music]
Special
[Music]
I love it.
[Music]
>> So let's see.
[Music]
I know you I am
in life
while
I keep
those.
[Music]
Oh, thank
[Music]
God.
[Music]
He goes on the highest.
[Music]
So I'm not going to promise this.
But he promises this even when he says
something you believe in he promises.
So this is the story.
[Music]
There's plenty of
anybody can get one.
When it comes to
there's so much sadly anybody can give
and then it comes to me
those days was pretty limited now VIP
but it's so limited was like
20,000 people six Buddhas
ratios
so in order to get into the you really
have to connect. You have to have like
never before. Nobody cares.
We're going. So everybody knows that the
mikvah gets so mish there's not a hook
on the wall that doesn't get filled with
a coat a jacket a space there's a
parking here there even outside of the
mik everything gets part of the
>> clothes full of clothes
and people are waiting there until they
see one hook available they catch it
the story there was one
[Music]
I want lonely
[Music]
so broken.
[Music]
His heart is so broken yet so full.
He's so excited for the first time he's
in Oman. He's going to see something.
He's going to be in a part of of
but he knows he has to go to the mik.
He runs there. He sees one nail there.
He grabs his jacket, puts it on there,
goes by 10 seconds, takes it back off.
Few minutes later, puts it back on.
Someone wants to take way. No,
it's very weird.
Everyone is ready to go. And this
traffic, you can't stall now. There's no
there's no time. You have to go.
way to um shouldn't go to I'm going
so he puts back the jacket but then he
says no take it off till there's an
there and he says
this is a very valuable hook people need
it now open your hearts
cuz this book is mish not only him but
so many of us
the looks at him with his eyes and he
says
[Music]
I so badly want to go
in.
But the host money live throughout my
years. I had a few
very very very
interesting years.
Was so dark.
And in my darkness, I had such
brokenness
that at one weak moment,
I went into a tattoo parlor
and I have a huge dragon over there. I
have a big tattoo over here.
He starts crying and he says,
[Music]
mountain.
He shides.
[Music]
You know what a tattoo is? Tattoo is
something that you put under your skin
that you can never remove or seemingly
you can never remove.
Do you know how many tattoos we have?
Do you know how many times we think that
this is it? We have a tattoo. We can
never go and never become better.
When he was crying a shame not to do, we
all cry along with this kid.
My
shame
[Music]
every mountain.
He shaves every shame
every mountain.
[Music]
So he looks at him. This book of thought
for sure is going to say
Instead, the out
takes his
sleeve.
He shows him the numbers that he got
from.
He says, "I also have a tattoo.
[Music]
If you don't
[Music]
shake
[Music]
the
without that door.
It's shock
and
shadow.
[Music]
He saved the place without the door.
He shouted.
[Music]
[Laughter]
So he was right. He was allowed to be
embarrassed. Louis bushes upon him.
That's how we come today to Hashem. We
say, "Oh, my body is so filled with
tattoos. What can we do?
[Music]
We we know there's a way. You told us
the way.
[Music]
You told us all we have to do is to
return
to height. Just turn, make a U-turn.
You're going on the road and you see the
signs
going north, north, but you have to go
south or the opposite. The signs are
there. So, what do I do? Just put into
the GPS. Hashem,
Hashem, make the next legal U-turn
and you return to the
and we're not coming here because we're
special. We're not asking because we've
done such special things and you owe me.
What can we do?
We can't fill the tattoos.
[Music]
Poor homeless
bridge junkies.
The
doors are open.
[Music]
as you open the doors.
But we can stop anybody here.
[Music]
No, please.
[Music]
That's why we're here tonight. We're
here to pour out our broken hearts
to the
[Music]
He wants to listen to our beautiful
songs and our tears.
[Music]
below.
And we don't come here in the middle of
the day. We come here when it's dark.
Our souls are in such a dark place.
But we also know
that the sun is always shining.
The moon is the only one who knows.
The sun is always shining.
And the moon looks at us and says, "Even
in the darkest time, the sun is always
shining.
You be going through a hard time. You
don't see it now.
The sun is always shining."
[Music]
So coming
[Music]
thank you even though we have so much
that we can ask for
[Music]
my praises.
[Music]
Now this will go through the whole
all to come to that secret number of 13
because
do you know why the idol doesn't make
sense I just gave it to
because I want that brokenness
just to teach you something that when
you fall into that idle moment
don't
despair Yeah.
[Music]
Give us those 13.
We say that Hashem hugs us. Hashem picks
us up and every time we say it, Hashem
does it again. And in between we just
praise Hashem. We say between all these
so many beautiful things
and we just have a moment of gratitude
that we are here that we could thank
Hashem. How many didn't make it this
year? How many last they were standing
