So to everyone on this holy beautiful special night of to everyone to post and to everyone here for coming and especially to our special guest. So we'll have to we'll have to talk a little bit about and uh what he has to teach us about the of and the transition into Torah. Tonight specifically last year we focused a lot on tonight want to focus a little bit on preparing ourselves for the holy of of and will throw some nice stories in because the stories it's what's goes into the heart sounds good everybody cool with that and as always we'll dedicate our Torah for the protection of all of Israel and uh in particular gratitude for the miracles that we were see uh this last day. Everybody knows that the of yesterday was but the day before was what's the clouds aron is really the whole reason why we have sukus because he brought us an and the plane was mish going through the clouds and holy clouds and the heroism of it saved those holy So Hashem should bless us to see only many more miracles and should continue to protect us. Say >> amen. Okay. So uh like I said tonight the seventh night of sukus is the holy guest is David here. There's no mo. Everybody agrees tonight's David's night. Yeah. And I want to try to go into that. Why? Why specifically David? So let's start before we go to some talk about sukus a little bit. We know that the just talking about how the yard sight of the was just just recently teaches us that there are two mitzvah that you go in with your whole body. What are the two mitzvah >> living inv. >> So mitzvah is not really a mitzvah. Some people say it's a ha mitzvah but uh indeed there are those but the other one but that's for sure a mitzvah is >> the women the women the women maybe it is a mitzvah and they they can say we're going to har okay that's a whole different discussion but what does the girl say what's the second mitzvah you going with your whole body >> ah the suka you go into your whole mamish >> you go in I I sleep in my suka and your mamish are all in I even have the cat sometimes snuggling up with me and mom is it's it's it's all in you know it's cold there's mosquitoes you just go in it's you're 100% immersed some ask really is suka the only mitzvah we have mikvah okay mikvah is it really a mitzvah or not what other mitzvah could we think of that we go our whole body is immersed in it can you think of anything else how about aliasel going up to the base of mikdash you go up with your whole body But the thing is first of all we don't really have the base of mid unfortunately and second of all you don't you take off your shoes before you go up to Haray you know you don't bring in your duty dirty boots into harabay but when you go to the suka even with your dirty boots you go all in you bring everything into the suka it's it's 100% in okay in fact that means you spell out each letter When you spell it out, hey, it's one of the the ways of uh one of the secret levels of Tyra, you count it up, you get to 248. Like the 248 body parts, we're all in there, which talks about what's the source the in the says the will protect you from the zer and the and the mat. Zer is hot and m is rain. What's the gamatra of zer? 247. What's matar? 249. The suka exactly in the middle. 248. You know, not right, not left. So, we're all in. When we go into the suka, we go, our entire body is mish immersed in the mitzvah. So, for those of us who live in, we're mamish, super immersed. They say of is even if you're in when you're in the we're all we're all in it in it together. And the question is what other mitzvah do you get your entire body immersed in? So the says that's that's the for seven days you should celebrate right means celebrate or bring a but says you know what the real language of means level it means to dance that's what means seven days you should He brings various rias and means to get your entire body involved. By the way, the ram when he's defining what's how does a person express? He says, you know how a person expresses simka? He dances. You get your entire body involved. You're dancing. That's sim. So, seven days you dance. And like I just said, what are you what are you doing when you're dancing? You're getting everything. You're getting your entire body involved. Okay. It depends how much you are. You know, some people stand like this. Some people shake they get right. Thear says he would start on one side and he would end on the other. So he was mish getting his entire body involved. But dava that all people get everything involved. But when you're dancing, you're getting the entire body involved. And that's seven days of dancing. What was done at the dancing dancing all night dancing, right? Amazing. Where I live, you see every night people dance doesn't the da the ones they're not sitting on the side learning. They're getting involved. They're dancing. They're jumping up and down. Okay. So that's simus dancing. And that brings us to the seventh day of of sukis. Tonight's night is a night of the David has anything to do with dancing. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah. Has a lot to do with dancing. We all know that famous story is finally bringing the to his palace. And what's he doing? He's this is I think it's the sixth per of and it says he's going all out didn't like it you know wasn't wasn't but David is doing it sham that's dancing that's [snorts] by the way when I'm not uh teaching here at yubana I sometimes work as a bar mitzvah guide I dance for bar mitzvah kids at the hotel and every bar mitzvah kid and every bach mitzvah kid what song do they like to sing if they're old school David and I'm sure you've all wondered what the heck does have to do with mitzvah I mean he was a great guy but like no mh now that we gave this little what's a kesher what are we really reminding ourselves we're saying yeah it's hot I'm not really in the mood food. But he went all out. He was dancing for the sake of Yeah. And so we're trying to draw the energy of he's still alive because his energy is still with us and kind of inspire ourselves to dance for a little. Yeah. You with me? Okay. Right. So that's and uh and that's the of and that brings us to the safer virus is the autobiography of the haimus. Okay, we know him as a kesh the rabbi of the Warso ghetto. I'm related to him. But um before he was in the war, so ghetto, he was a great rabbi in Poland and he writes in his diary which was found after the war, a very short little diary that um there was a safer Torah. They got a safer Torah and the Reb feels this urge to do should I do a somersault? I was thinking I should do a somersault. How exactly he knew how to do a somersault? I'm not sure. You know, maybe he took dance lessons, but he really wanted to do a somersault, but he's thinking to himself, "But I'm the rabbi of the I'm going to do a somersault. What are people going to think? It's not appropriate." And then what gave him the inspiration? Who did he think of that gave him that? I got to do the somersault. Who was it? >> David. He says, "Oh, if Dal can do the to do a flip, I can do the flip." And he does the flip. And he says, "I did it shine." And a part of me doubted, "Was this really Sham?" But deep inside he knows he was dancing for the sake of Hashem. He's very proud of that flip. So get nothing else out of tonight. Next time you're at a dancing, you're at a wedding, you know, debating. Should I do the flip? Should I not do the flip? You remember this year and you'll do the flip. Okay. So that's going all in all your body everything that's and that's a transition from the seventh day of to the eighth day which is the eth is a holiday in of itself and the says what's the mitzvah of this particular holiday includes the eighth day we also have to celebrate. Everyone asks usually excludes. So how are we including? So explains the gagra the bon. No we're excluding to include what are we excluding all that other stuff right? the lul and the astrog and the and all that stuff is wonderful but now we've kind of moved beyond that and what's happening when we go into it's just a moment of of intimacy I don't need all that external stuff and I reach the level it's like at a wedding you're in the room it's not about the food it's not about the the and this song or that song all that stuff was to create the ambiance, but at the end of the day, what do we need? Just me, me and you. And that's what's happening. It's just us and that's why all of the greatim they say about the that he was like just mish in a different world. And there's you could go around to the to real places with learn Torah all year long non-stop. They're the ones dancing with a fire. says about I I believe it was it was the uh not the rupitter but uh the rim of that and he would get tired and he was dancing so much and then he would command his feet keep dancing keep dancing you know after simple story you can rest just keep going you know talks about the sat how he actually had he didn't uh when he was a kid he would learn non-stop and it did damage to his feet so he didn't have such healthy feet and the doctor said one that he couldn't dance and so as soon as the doctors went away he was dancing and dancing and dancing and it was like a miracle he was like flying you know in certain by by us everybody dances by the bab of and by satar only sadikim dance like in like was in the base of mdash and he was he was just he was just flying he was just flying so so so that's it's a moment of it's a moment of connection to that's beyond this world and is the language of dancing is. So now we're taking all the and we're bringing it into the dance. In fact, the harim has a has a has a beautiful he says how do we say in Hebrew to dance? What's the what's the word or right? Maret is also one of the malas and chabas. It's sifting, right? Sifting flour. So between sifting and dancing. Oh, exactly. So we're taking every time we're dancing, we're sifting away all that negative energy. We're throwing it away. Some people have that kavan also lula, you know, throwing away all that bad stuff, shaking, shaking it out. So we're dancing and dancing and dancing. We're getting rid of everything. We're being all the negative stuff and being we're dancing. That's the holy holy of dancing. So, it's a big thing. People think, "Ah, it's cute. It's fun. Why not, you know, have fun? Make it's it's an it's an avoid. When it's easy, it's it's fun. But when it's hard, that's really when it becomes holy. I'll tell you, amazing, Misa. So, um there was uh I think this is in 1969 or so, something like that. Uh there was a family and they're walking and they went and there was one [snorts] was dancing, singing, and he's going crazy. There's a 14-year-old boy that looks at his dad and says that he's on fire. You know what did he take? Like I got to get me some of that. So the father says this true story. He says that he lost his wife. He's a young widowerower. She is a young woman and six days ago on the second day of sukis she passed away. True story. So the man was like so this boy says so why is he dancing? what's going on? He says because he's aid and because he's a Jew and because on Torah a Jew dances, you know, that's that's what a Jew does. >> He's dancing because that's what a Jew does. What exactly is Kavanaaugh was? I don't know. I wasn't there. I wasn't in his mind. But that's what he does. Maybe for the future, maybe. I don't know. But he's dancing. So later they went to 770. Eastern Parkway in Flatbush. And it turns out that that who was dancing, he would start the nigim for the Reb. They would all do the Reb would give discourses for many hours and then in between they would have amazing ancient nigunim and he would start the the songs. That was his job. And in a particular point he stopped himself and he he began a song. I don't know the exact words, but something to the extent of when it's cold, we won't we won't we won't drown in the water. And when there's fire, we won't burn. When it's cold, and where is this song from? What was he alluding to? This song was what the Russian Jews used to sing to kind of when the Russians were trying to take away their religion and force them down and take everything away from them. This became like the amai like the the marching song of the strong willed Russian Jews who wouldn't wouldn't give in. If it's hot, we're not going to get burnt. And if it's cold, we're not we're not going to get drowned. If it's wet, it doesn't matter. And he would sing he sang this song. And the Reb looks at him and the Reb starts going crazy. The Reb dancing in his seat like no one who ever saw him dance before or after. He was going crazy, singing and dancing and the whole crowd went wild. And that was that was the avoid of this holy and the reb must have felt the energy that it's one thing to dance and sing when everything's great. It should be like that for every single person here. But the real is when things aren't so great and we still push ourselves. We push ourselves nonetheless this year I'm not really feeling it but this is the of the day and I'm going to do it. I'm gonna push myself and I'm gonna go through the motions and in the endem will feel it. I remember I I I almost always go to the hotel on Friday nights to dance and sing. Um and most of the time I'm in a great mood going in. There's one particular shabas when I wasn't I was really not in a great mood. Um and I was debating maybe I'll just stay local. I'm just not vibing it. And I said, you know, I'm going to do it. I'm just gonna do it because even if I'm not in the mood, maybe I'll grab some other guy and I pushed myself through. In the first five minutes, I wasn't feeling attendant and I wanted to quit. But after a half hour of dancing and singing at the kotal, it was amazing. By the end of the night, I forgot what I was even upset about and it was just such a high. So, Hashem, again, Hashem should bless us. We shouldn't have hard times, but we should know that the real avoid comes when we're not feeling it. We push ourselves nonetheless. Nman writes about this in his teachings. He says that um sometimes you're not feeling happy and you have to grab your sad emotions and get throw them into the circle. That's what I like to do with the Kotto. I take, you know, random Gentiles that know have no idea what's going on and I throw them into the circle and we start dancing around with them and by the end of it they they're flying, you know. So that's how we have to do with ourselves sometimes. Of course, there are also times we have to just land and let ourselves heal a little bit. There's there's special times like we have to kind of through the external actions uh bring within us the internal emotions of and that's the one of the aid of should know that great master taught us that all the avoidas of the three weeks and the fasting and the sadness and then rash shan all the chuva and it was all just a for the holiest moment of the year and when's that we say that is the moment that is the moment of with and it's all a prep for that so no pressure but that's that's the of mish being alone with a kadosh when we're dancing and singing in in many yeshivas like ink they wouldn't sing a song once they turn off the lights they would sing it over and over and over and over and over again and personally that's my favorite style of the dancing of because you switch every song to another niggan it's cute but it's the goal isn't to just to make it cute the goal is to take it from the outside and bring it in and that takes a takes work it kind of we're dabbing every time we're saying these words we're dabbing that should go in go in go in so it takes time it's not just a cute it's a real soem should bless us to find the right dancing right the right places and it should really go in asem and we should know that it's an want to tell some a few more stories as promised I told you that she was called Story time with uncle Raman. No story stories of of so a few more stories and of course we'll try our best to uh also uh give meaning behind the stories not just uh stories. So um I heard a beautiful story from uh Raul Gold story is like this. There was a minion by uh Sad off, you know, the Sed off towers right by Yafa and they had brought the families that lived in the apartment and some yeshiva and they were singing and some labed and everyone was having a great time and then one guy I guess bumped into the other guy and he he dropped the safer Torah >> and uh the guy who dropped the safer Torah was devastated and everyone was like in shock. The guy who dropped the s Torah went to the side and started balling, started crying and everyone else was like, "What do we do now? Do I have to fast 40 days? I wasn't really there. I was there. I didn't really see it. Yeah, I did." No one's really sure what to do with themselves. And um at a certain point, the gabi says, "Okay, let's keep dancing." Okay, we you got to make the best of the situation. So, you try to keep dancing, but it's kind of like it was over. Nobody's really in the mood anymore. But they ended it pretty soon afterwards. And then the gabi thought of a good idea. He's going to lift up the safer to that same that was dropped and he's going to read from the Torah from that that Torah da to a kind of it was desecrated to an extent. So, we want to honor it. So, they open up the Torah and they did they had already did. Now, they're opening up and they're opening up the beginning of the Torah. They open up the same guy says the opens up the Torah and the Bor looks at it and he can't he's not reading what what happened the wordious was missing. Everyone's like, "What?" So what happened? What happened was this Torah was mostly completed, but they were waiting sometimes so they they leave a few letters out to let people complete the safer Torah. And by accident, that's what happened to the safer Torah. So it turns out that >> it wasn't a kosher safer to. So immediately when they they they find us out, it's true story, they run to the guy and they tell him the good news and he jumps up and he's crying and dancing and singing and they mamish dance to the heart of the heavens. They dance like they never danced before. Gavat. So it's a cute story. It's a sweet story. It's a true story. Um what are we supposed to learn from it? What are we supposed to learn from this story for for our lives? Any any thoughts? What do you guys think? What's the lesson? >> You lift it up. >> Yeah. To be >> find out. >> Oh, when you lift someone up, you find out the essence. I like this. Beautiful. Beautiful. Any other thoughts of what what you're taking from that story? >> Yeah. >> Even in the most like having so much responsibility for everyone who was in the room. in a horrible situation. So that's still things like these can happen like small miracles >> even in the darkest times little little beautiful miracles can happen beautiful >> and also something that can appear as an error like leaving out the characters I mean there was a purpose for it that that could become the essence of a miracle or >> of the salvation. >> Yeah. on something we realize after all the mistakes we make at the end of the day we'll realize it was all part of Hashem's plan it was all part of the plan beautiful but I was thinking similar to what a lot of you guys suggested is that you know we expect ourselves to be these perfect you know that's what we're I hope you know that's what we're yearning for that's our but at the end of the day realizes we're flawed we're not perfect and so we fall so what happens happens when we fall. We get up again. We get up again. We make the best of the situation and then we see that it's going to work out in the end. You just keep moving. You just keep moving. We all make mistakes but and we try our best. But we don't give up. We don't let depression get in cuz that's just going to drop us down. We just keep moving. We just keep pushing. But be careful nonetheless when you're when you're holding the tora. Don't don't don't smoke. Okay. That's that's not the takeaway from from this story. Okay. Another beautiful story that I was here. Um I read this actually I think in small miracles but also yoga and the first 35 years of his life. He wasn't a religious Jew. He basically like he did his bar mitzvah and then he was out. That that was pretty much it for his connection to to Judaism. Then in 1988 um he got a free or sponsored trip with a few of his friends some some organization to go to Israel. He's already a young adult and he says why not comes to Israel and they get in on a Friday morning and then Shabas comes and they're in your shim for Shabas and what is there to do for a tourist in your shim? >> Nothing in particular. So they're very bored. You know they have they have their breakfast. They're like, "Now what?" So, one of the suggests, "Hey, let's go check out a synagogue. I've never been to an Orthodox synagogue before. Let's check it out. We're already in Jerusalem. Why not?" You know, when in Rome. So, this guy uh he says, "Really? Synagogue? Isn't that for like Yum Kipper? Like, why why would we go on a Saturday?" Uh but they're like, "All right, everyone else is going, I guess. What am I going to stay behind in the hotel?" So he so he so he goes and they see this big they walk around they pass a lot of synagogue and they see a beautiful white synagogue and they're they're making a lot of noise in the synagogue. I guess the were singing kadusha or something and they they're curious but they don't want anyone to notice them. They sneak into the synagogue and they go to the women's gallery and I guess there weren't too many women praying and they went on top. No one noticed them and they're looking down at the that these people praying and then this guy notices that they're reading the Torah and the thought comes to his head that this Torah that these guys are reading is exactly the way that this has been happening 100 years ago. There's old guys reading Toras and 500 years ago and a thousand and 2,000 years ago. this is what the Jewish people have been doing. They've been reading the Torah, the same Torah, the same text, and something just hits his heart. And he thinks to himself, I don't really know anything about this Torah. I'll be honest, you know, like, this is my heritage. I I should probably figure out what this what this whole thing's about. And that began his journey to to connect to to Yiddish. 10 years later, he's already a religious Jew. He's keeping Shabas and um it's a Shabbat meal and he his family was over at a Shabbat meal and his dad said, "Did we ever tell you the story, by the way, of grandma and and you and the whole story?" He was like, "No, actually not. What's the story?" The story was that this guy when he was a young boy, a baby, he was very sickly. had some sort of blood issue and um he wasn't doing well and and one night there's a knock at the door and who was it? It was a Kales of Rebisher Kisher and they had moved to Cleveland [snorts] after the Holocaust and he wanted to bring a safer to the shoe to his new shoe. So this grandma wasn't religious but she says how much do you need? $3,500. She says, "Okay, I'll give you $3,500 for your Torah, but please make a Misha for my grandson. He's really sick when you on the first Shabbat that you read from the Torah." And that's what it was. He made they made the Mishak and the boy got better and the boy grew up. And the boy realized at that moment that unbelievable, he was saved through the Torah. He's safe through the Torah physically and spiritually. What do we sing every time we begin? It's a tree of life for those who grab onto it. It's mish, right? It's mish everything. But we got to grab onto it with all of our heart and learn it and open up the books. So, this year we should be not just to dance with the Torah, but to grab on to the Torah. You don't even have to give up the Torah. They want to take it from you. Say, "No, I want another dance. I want another dance." And we should be to open up the Torah too and learn the Torah like you guys are doing on tonight. You're doing a very very holy thing because say that yum kiper atones for the sins of the day but hosana atones for the sins of the night. It's like once upon a time everyone knew about Yung Kipper but Oshan Raba wasn't so uh wasn't so popular when we when we grew up you know but nowadays I guess there's a lot of sins at night you know people people hang out more at night so uh so we stay up all night or as long as we can and weak and all the and we remind ourselves to not just dance with the Torah of course but also to to open up the Torah to open up the Torah of tonight and and for the of our lives and we'll sing that at the end. But a few more stories if I if I if I could. Yeah. You still with me? Amazing. So there's another story I have to from the tells over that once at the at the dancing by the there was a butcher and this butcher didn't have any time to learn Torah. He wasn't as they say. He didn't really learn Torah that much. But at the he was going crazy dancing and singing and leading all the all the dancing. He was mish on fire. So one I guess he had a little bit too much to drink. He was a little bit but he says you Mr. Butcher you don't learn any Torah. What are you dancing for? What's going on? What's up? So he says no. And at my brother's wedding I can't dance. In other words, I I haven't been, but I'm dancing for you. I'm dancing with the Jewish people. So, probably some of us might feel like that a little bit, myself included. I'm dancing with the story as if I've really been kind of I've really immersed myself in the Torah 100%. But then we have to remember that story of the rup. We have to remember, yeah, but doesn't matter. I'm dancing for I'm dancing for the I'm dancing for the future. I'm dancing for for next year. I'm dancing at my brother's wedding. Reminds me of another story. So Schlommo was once doing uh the second the right it's a cabalistic that you don't do it once even after you do it again right you join in with the second if you want and you do it you do it again so he was playing a second hakas and who shows up this author who is known to be a very anti-religious author and uh at first he comes up to says listen I was invited here don't don't get any thoughts I'm just you know I'm just uh I'm just I'm just here but don't don't don't don't don't try to do kir on me okay at the end of it he was joined in the dancing singing and dancing and celebrating and uh the someone comes up to him and says new what's up what what happened he started thinking he says you know what I never seen people dancing and singing and kissing, you know, secular books or secular newspapers. When I saw so many people in love in love with the Torah, I said, "There must be something special about this book. There must be something holy. I must be missing something." So, I take it back. I take it back. There must I'm not I'm not so sure anymore. Give And that reminds me of another story also tells over There was a yid who uh met who um was also originally secular and knew him and after the war I don't I think it was in 73 he had pis and re reunited with this person said asked him what's the story what's the shot was it was some sort of tank accident he was in the middle of desert he was dying and it it was basically hopeless and this guy was a professor and He spent his whole life speak teaching English literature and he started thinking of all the beautiful English literature and all of Shakespeare and Hamlet trying to think of good memories before he went to the next world and what did it do for him gish nothing he didn't feel anything and then as his as his last kind of breath of life he remembered Torah when he was a little little kid dancing on his grandpa's shoulders and he started crying and that's the only thing that hit his heart and he realized that was the only thing that he was really really really connected to and he says Hashem if you somehow save me I promise you I'm going to tell my children the truth about the Torah I'm going to open up the the beautiful books of of of tora and and please save me please give me a second chance and give out someone drove through, saved his life, brought him back, and he uh he was saved, and he went home and taught his taught his kids the truth. So, gavat gavat this year, my uh my 2-year-old, uh hopefully he'll he'll be dance with me for the first time on my shoulders, and I hope he'll remember. I hope he'll remember for his whole life. And then deep inside, I'm sure he'll he'll remember as I'm sure we all remember those memories. It goes it goes straight to the nama. go straight to the nama. Okay. Um maybe one more story. One more story unless I remember another one [laughter] as I'm talking as as it as it usually work happens. Um, this one's a little sad, but it's a it's it's Emis. It's from also Gita Halber's small miracles of the Holocaust. And Roshach actually used to tell over this story all the time. And it happened in the Holocaust and there's some Yiddin and they were being pushed into the gas chambers and um they were about to be thrown in when a certain Yid jumps up and says, "Yiden, it's Sim Torah today. It's Torah today and we don't have a Torah to dance with. We don't have anything. We don't have kdish. We don't have bread. But you know what we have? We have Hashem. So let's go into the gas chambers dancing and singing. And that's what happened. They were dancing and singing as they went into the gas chambers. And the Nazis started asking, "What's going on? How are these Jews dancing? This is autah. And someone told them, "You can take everything away from us. You can't take you can't take our sim." And they said, "Oh yeah, we can't. They're going to die happy." And they turned it off and they and they and they lived and they survived. That's that's the story. That's what >> that's the story. So it's a little uh dramatic, but it's true. It's true that when we tap into singing and dancing with then all of the challenges in life can can run away. So you know what one more story [laughter] of Usher Weiss I heard him tell her the following mushel. Oh no I thought of another story. Okay we'll see of Usher Weiss. He says, "Imagine you have a tati. You have a father and he goes on business trips all the time and he comes back with his family and they have an amazing vacation together and they're having the grandest time. But as you know, the trip is ending the kids they become a little sad and Tati Abba papa comes over to the kids and he says, "What are you sad about? What's wrong?" He says, "Dad, you're leaving soon. we're sad. We loved having you around. He says, "You think I'm I'm I'm leaving." He shows them, I'm going with you. I'm going with you on our journeys. He thought, "I'm leaving. I'm going to be with you from from now on." So that's sometimes after some it's a little sad. We just had this whole seven days of celebrations learning together, you know, all the tremendous high and then at the end of the we feel a little bit of a low. Yeah. We feel like ah now what? It's getting cold. But there's rather we should remember that story. The main thing is we're we're taking with us and we can always get up and dance and sing and and bring ourselves up through the through through the physical actions of singing and dancing of talking to we can bring into our into our lives. So don't be sad at the end of you know bring it with you into the rest of the year. Don't worry is coming soon. Purim sh is yard site all all the all the good things are we have a whole year of celebrating of singing and dancing of so uh don't >> two others >> two other stories >> no two other two others we should bear the within us should dwell within us everyone should be blessed to have a pitkuva that we should be sealed in the book of life.
