in these weeks. So many many
after Pes at least from Pes
so learns
there their reasons brought why learns
speaks about reasons the simplest is
that we're preparing for
we're preparing and preparing a person
works
and that's the simplest These are my
learn. There are other menhagen that
people learn through the summer that
they continue on after continue.
I'd like to learn a little bit once in a
while. Now to try once in a while to
jump in to learn some
share something.
I want to share something from my
Shapiro.
He said something in this yeshiva two
years ago that I liked a lot. I liked it
a lot when he said it like resonated.
It's probably it's probably a lot of
truth to what he said. And I want to
share it with the
Mishna. The Mishna scribes and Misha
Misha learned was from
Yeshua. He taught to Yeshua. Yeshua is
Yeshua taught us
gave it to
him. Then it quotes three statements
from the
ankal was the governing body that
actually gave us the
first safer ever written down in the
world. Normally is not written down.
From the first writings of our is the
wrote the
amongst them were the last the last
prophets that we had. They actually
wrote the because it has powers. The
words have powers. They were nim. They
knew how to unlock things that we don't
know how to unlock. There's tremendous
power to the it's hard for people to say
they say I don't even know what I'm
saying
the words are very powerful beyond your
own ability. The words are powerful.
That's the very s was written by
and they knew what to say. It's a good
question. They knew they knew what to
say, when to say, and how to say and and
they put tremendous power in the sed it.
It is a it's complicated because people
say I don't know what it means.
Certainly, we should try to find out
what it means. But there's a tremendous
power to the words in the a matter of
fact prayer has two aspects. You're
supposed to speak from your heart.
You're supposed to. It's people ask am I
allowed to speak in English during
you're supposed to it's it's it's a an
incomplete prayer if somebody doesn't
speak in English it's a prayer you're a
complete prayer as words from the heart
one should speak in English in the
center the way you should do it is
typically in most brahas only speak
about that you come to you're talking
about chuva should speak to
should Hey, I Hashem I I have a friend
who's struggling. Help him come lead
choua for our own choua in in um Hashem.
Speak to Hashem. I have a friend who's
very sick. Needs a I have a friend who
has a bad arm, who has a bad foot.
Hashem, please heal his foot. One should
speak in English.
That's a big part of prayer.
You might know somebody who's struggling
financially.
Say, "Hashem, please, I have an uncle
who needs pasa. Hashem, give my uncle's
name is son." A beautiful family. They
struggle to make ends meet. Hashem,
please give the family. Shem's a one
should pray in English. One absolute not
can you, you're supposed to understand.
>> You should the language you understand.
One should really talk to Hashem. Yes,
very important.
>> That's a very good question. in middle
right smack dab in middle there's
there's a that near the post and
so you talk it's always
a you say
you're saying
right there you should talk to my friend
the guy works so hard
letters of this take off then
the last words before the are supposed
to be connected to the it's called
the is that is certainly a person should
talk in English and
but besides for his own words there's
the words of kazal in the lion it says
Jacobu says that I won a warashi
with my sword and my arrow.
Um, Jacobu says I won a warashi
which says means two forms of prayer.
Two forms of prayer. I won it with both
forms. What are these two forms of
prayer that Yakavinu attributed winning
a war to two forms of prayer? The two
forms of prayer are the words that are
you talk to God speak to talk to Hashem
beg.
What guys should do more is talk more to
Hashem. Talk to Hashem. You're in the
dorm, talk to Hashem. You're in the gym,
talk to Hashem. You're walking in the
forest, talk to Hashem. Talk to
before you go to sleep. Talk to you have
to talk to I want to talk to
that two forms of prayer. There's one
form of prayer, your own talk from your
heart. There's another form of prayer,
the prepared prayer. the one that the
knew had to unlock things and had
specific words, specific ways of saying
things that have a tremendous power.
That's why it's called the sword and
it's called a bow. A sword kills on its
own strength. It's sharp. That's the
prayer of an prepared prayer that has a
power for itself. It doesn't need the
human help. And then there's the form of
prayer that's the bow that comes from
the heart. You pull it to yourself. So
those are the two forms of prayer. It's
called
made a prepared prayer that as opposed
to go in sync with the prayer from the
heart and was supposed to come with
both. Now there's a big mile. You say
why do I need a prepared prayer? Doesn't
Hashem want just me to come from my
heart? There are mile of the prepared
prayer of
one of the mileas is humility
and you like read there's a certain
humility
what
we say
so that's your prepared prayer there's a
tremendous humility to read in front of
hashem I come humble I come like
tremendous humility I I don't even I I
say my own words but I also have
something prepared for. There's a
certain humility. I say the words that
you told me to listen to and I'm
listening to the coming there's and that
has that aspect of humility.
They were the last they were a governing
body who had the last amongst them the
last prophets.
said three things. I want to talk about
the first thing they said. They said
be very deliberate in judging in
judging. When you judge, if you're a
dian, when you judge,
be very deliberate.
Don't answer deliberate. Missim is
patient is to deliberate with a lot of
care. Now certainly the simple simple
shot is don't be don't be impulsive.
Don't just say the first thing off the
top. Work hard. Work hard. Right.
Shapiro asked the obvious question. Now
there's nothing wrong if they say
something obvious. But there is he said
it's so obvious like what would they
what were they coming as opposed to
what? Oh, I thought to just say whatever
comes to my mind and
said be very deliberate in judgment.
He asked he asked a few he asked why he
asked why
why is this their message like of all
the messages to give in your life be
very deliberate be careful what you say
>> of course of course
>> I know why I know why they said that
right
>> what's that's why Shapiro asked
>> why Shapiro asked what's
be very deliberate as opposed to what
who would think otherwise what was their
big worry with our people not being
deliberate what were they talking about
that's what R Shapiro asked it's a very
fair question you always think who are
they talking to what was the need to say
it
why are you saying that be deliberate
and and the people thought so right
Shapiro said something to me was
extremely intelligent. Raj Shapiro said
with that body that was there after the
prophets. A matter of fact, the Mishna
itself says that the Nim gave it to they
were after prophecy. They have to
understand there was a massive drop. But
you read this had we had prophecy before
we knew the truth. Prophets literally
knew if you were missing if you lost
something, you went to the N. He told
you where your lost item was. They knew.
They knew stuff. And you have this
massive fallout. We no longer have
prophecy. There's a tremendous darkness.
They used to like know. They knew the
secrets. Prophecy. Direct line to God.
You went to the Ni. You said I'm like
missing something. The Ni would come
back. I spoke to Hashem. It's over
there. And you'd find it. If a guy
wanted to know his mission,
this it's brought this far and bring a
guy want to know his mission. like
what's my job in life? The Na'vi would
meet you. He would find out and he would
tell you your mission alive. Your was
this and this is your light you bring to
the world. They knew
comes the
loss of prophecy. There's this clarity
by Shapiro said something brilliant.
He said the tendency when we lose the
ability to know is to feel that I don't
have so much that I don't have so much
for this to this discussion. So you
could see people quoting but what do you
think about this matter? We just don't
know anymore. We don't know anymore. So
people would run they would quote their
prophets.
As for what do you think? Oh we're just
dumb.
There would be a sense that we don't
know. My Rebi, my Rebi told me a story
that I'm gonna bring out a point. My
Rebi met Rabisha Feinstein and lost his
mind. Where Zak and Yeshiva, we have
Ramosa's great great great grandson and
yeshiva, David Grayer is a great great
grandson, Ramosa [applause] Feinstein.
My rebi my Rebi met with Ramos. It's a
true story. My rebi met with Ramosa
Feinstein and he like lost his mind from
the greatness of the human being. He
couldn't believe it. He was in front of
Ramosa Feinstein
asked him like a simple sh. He like
asked what drink what's the brahan on
water. It wasn't that the guy asked like
the simple sh my rebi was shaking like a
leaf. He said I don't know anything. I
can't answer. I just saw I know nothing.
He felt like he felt so humbled. He
said, "I can't answer. I'm just not in
the space that I feel like I know." Rebi
said, "I can't answer the simple sha."
My father who was very confident and he
knew a lot of and he was very confident
once went to speak to learning. He
looked at me said vir what's your name?
My father forgot his name. He didn't
talk in learning. He said if I can't
remember my name I can't talk my name.
He was so aed by the giant.
So what what I what Shapiro said is
after we lost the prophets
there was a sense what do I know I don't
know anything I don't know like a sense
like that
said be delivered in jud in judgment
said actually trust yours
the having means you're capable of yes
knowing
think through things decide things judge
things you
Trust yourself. The best thing I there's
a I consider him my rebi for life. He
changed my life and learning from the
best I've had in my life. He taught me
to trust my imamish taught me. I didn't
even realize how important your is. He
taught me to trust my own
m. I was talking to somebody yesterday.
I was telling them about m somebody came
to my house last night and was
describing being in a shear that was
like dazzling was like a sheer cl but
he's leaving that shear I said why are
you leaving he said I didn't come to
watch the rebi learn tyra I want to
learn ouch
>> and he was saying sometimes you go to a
sh he says such dazzling
you don't learn to trust your own
process your own story you have a you
have a we had a learning last year and
was like very we're not like the whole
mat should be people think and learn
something and have a question your
process is a huge part of
right Shapiro said brilliantly that
were talking to a generation that lost
prophecy and to a generation that felt
we don't know you know I saw greatness
and they devalued the of each person
what do you hold what do you think I
want to express and there's much to say
on the topic
were
they didn't respect each other there's
much written they were the biggest they
were huge it's possible to understand it
and there's probably some it was they
were big sadikim but there was
What the Rebi say? What the Rebi say?
And part of the Messiah has to be that
each person learns and as a process
figure out. My father begged me and beg
people close to him when you want to get
a look up and really think
really come up with an opinion learn and
trust your process. We're having a kid
every
has been saying
my wife and I've been enjoying
immensely. He's like really learning the
trying to figure out what is. It's like
refreshing. He's trying to figure out.
So I'm not getting involved his
conclusions what they are or aren't the
it's like this is the source. Mr.
Gamarra says this the shin said he's
like figuring out
is trust your opinions like get busy the
opposite is not to not be impulsive that
wasn't what they were coming to bey
don't be impulsive think they were
saying your opinion and you're working
on the matter
you should actually trust your process
your process is beautiful if anybody
thinks about seder the way the way sed
two people sit and they have a
conversation. The process itself is part
of
>> one of the biggest learning is why does
it say every tell me the conclusion the
process is part of the the asking and
answering and saying that process is a
beautiful process. It's a process of the
that's what
we're teaching a generation
like really go through it and in a
certain way in a certain way your
darkness ends up being light
in a certain way. It's interesting Rev
Gifter who was the RV in Waterberry for
four years. That gifter at the end of
his life started forgetting Tyra and he
commented that supposedly he commented
that a good side is like he likes not
knowing again he could like try to
figure out again now even if you know
there's plenty you know so the comment
was only bringing out a point that it's
not so bad to be in a space of not
knowing I liked
were almost saying oh my love
we're a oh my god Earth darkness. Let's
let's figure things out. Let's sit down.
Let's let's think. Let's work ours that
could be a tremendous light precisely
from the darkness in not know we don't
know. We have no
let's deliberate. Let's think the let's
be let's have conversation and dialogue.
It's so precious. The bush for the bush
for theem is wonderful.
Trust your trust your thoughts. Go
through your process. Schlommouri once
once expressed from the Reb. He once
told the so many people are trying to
get good at learning like to get a
certain maj
like your own process where you're up to
a figuring out is beautiful. Two people
sit down with a safer and they're fig
that process of has so much holiness and
purification. The person sitting there
trying to figure out struggling asking
arguing that
is such a purifying experience. That's
what was speaking to. There's something
so encouraging and beautiful. It's true
to everybody at their levels. But
specifically you picture a dur but all
of a sudden the people before like knew
everything and then comes our d our d we
don't know and that guy like I don't
know two people like sit there are
figuring out like they're working hard
back and forth being
trust your process celebrate your it's
beautiful
when somebody went to the rebi like
describing I'm weak and learning he was
like he he was literally giving over
your you're becomus from where you are
is like that's the story that's the
beautiful story that's everything
beautiful happens there at your space
celebrating your you're trying you're
connecting to theem
that is what Rabi Shapiro learned have
means and that's what it's saying I
thought
>> it's saying don't like go running to
your
>> that's what he said deliberate that's
what he's saying deliberate like really
work through converse on the matter and
talk right right you remember him saying
I like that shot a lot it's it rings
true all why are they the ones saying it
was everybody acting impulsive in there
at times he's saying people weren't
deliberating they thought we don't know
anymore who do we ask where do we find
deliberate and that's something
beautiful specific to your dor I love
this area yes
>> last year he said it again he added
also. Yeah. He said
>> in he the way to get there is like it's
not it's
>> like a unique lion of it. He's like just
be and that'll allow you like the crazy
like all the way just he and that'll
allow you to become
>> interesting. That's I like that. I like
that.
>> I want that is an interesting word. It's
funny that word he
what that word he is. What was he what's
he expressing with that? Like be present
to what's hitting you? What's hitting
you?
>> Really? Yeah. Don't try. Yeah. Not like
don't force it.
>> Yeah. The biggest question in learning
is why
it's
>> not resonating. That's like he's saying
somehow he sees that in the word he be
present. Oh, interesting. You like this?
I like it a lot. We love but this it
actually funny it bothers me. They said
be deliberate in judgment. Oh, I thought
like not that it needs but why even why
don't teaching that? What was what's the
deal? Rap went on he went on he went on
to say that the next thing
They have many
and he went I he went on like the next
step you even become a vehicle to handle
the sense of inadequacy for oneself
having is you have what to think and at
that point you realize give over to you
could actually have you have what to get
and then you have what to give the sense
you have what to give is the next level
of buildup of the person
you have a tremendous amount that can
come from in and give open.
I want to say it could be because Aby's
here and I love I want to tell you a
Leonard Con story. I like this story a
lot. It's from a I want to quote Leonard
Con and it's what R Shapiro took and I'm
need to tell them Harvey. I want to
express to the guys there's something
called I'm going to say Leonard Con in a
second.
What's that word when people have a
sense like people are learning by them
and they have a sense like who am I? But
what's the word I'm looking for? There's
a
>> imposttor syndrome.
>> What' you say?
>> Imposttor syndrome.
>> Imposttor syndrome. Thank you. Thank you
Mary. Impastor syndrome. Somebody's
teaching to
>> and the tendency is who am I to teach?
You're teaching. Thanks to my name
ever impostor syndrome. There's a sense
who am I to teach? And we make a
tremendous time we make a mistake. A
nishama is mamish big. And there are
times others can feel in your nishama
what you can't feel and plug in what you
can't see. We mameish have big nishas
and big lights. Leonard con. Lenny I'm
going share.
>> I'll share like this. Lenny a a guy was
interviewing Leonard Con. See he said
Leonard what did you mean in a certain
song you said that. What did you mean
when you said it? So Leonard he was so
if you ever heard of he was he seemed to
me very honest person. So Leonard Con I
don't know he didn't say mom I don't
know the inter the interviewer in my
eyes did not seem so intelligent. I feel
bad saying that just the way it looked
to me was not like the brightest of the
bunch. Not no crime. The interviewer
says to Leonard Conn, "When you said
that in your song, what did you mean?"
[snorts] So, Leonard Co, I I don't know.
So, the interviewer looks at him, do you
understand that the brightest people in
the world are like claring or like
thinking what Leonard Con meant?
>> So, he said, Leonard like tell the world
to knock it off. You don't even know
what you meant. You know, you have you
have in England you have Lord Saxs like
writing brilliantly what Leonard meant.
I know like brilliant people have tis
and what he's saying and he asked
Leonard I don't know what I meant. So
the interviewer said we have a whole
fraud going on in the world called him
off. So Leonard Cole looks and with such
like sincerity
he said of course they should analyze
what I meant. He said I think it would
be a big game. It came from deep in my
soul. What I mean, it's worth studying.
And the guy I saw the interviewer
doesn't know what he's talking about. I
don't know what he and of course Leonard
Cones read something came from a person.
Let's study what he meant. There's deep
there's deep things in a person and to
understand the nisham has deep lights
and if Leonard called a certain song
came from him and certain words he was
moved to so then it's worthy of
thinking. What do you mean? He said I
might know what I meant but something
came for me. I felt something I so
study. I think he should study. I think
I should study. We both should forget
what I meant. And and this
was saying
to have many
is to
was speaking to a generation that lost
prophecy direct line. Then at that point
what am I could I myself have
think through find what's deep inside
yourself. Find your light. Find your
light and express your light. What you
come out
then it becomes important to give that
over. What do you mean? It came from me.
Yeah. Came from you.
Things come that are worthy of giving
over and sharing with the next person
from your soul to another soul. There
are things worthy in us. Trust your soul
to the point that you're part of me. Now
hand h hand to the next I it came from
me. Good good yeah it came from you.
Hashem sent and and sends down to your
special light.
Now pass that on and that becomes part
of itself.
So these these two these two
all of a sudden it makes sense why
specifically were the ones who said it
specifically.
I want to add on and this right Shapiro
actually said a different shot but the
third thing they said is
make fences for the this means
the Tyra itself was unkeepable.
According to the Tyra, all of us on
Chabas would drive to work. You're
allowed to do everything on Chabas. Just
do a just do it different. You would
drive. You would see everybody driving
with their like wrong foot doing work
with do.
But said there would be crazy Shabas.
There would be endless shabas. The rabb
were commanded to make sure
make offense to the make sure the is
capable.
The center you can't do any
and hashem asked the
asked the to make the capable
and this part that is within the human
being. Why didn't Hashem just write the
in a way that's capable? Why didn't
Hashem just answer
you as it
that the is in a person the process of
the person applying to the MS according
to Ray Shapiro this is what the itself
is saying that you're part of the
process the Torah will be written in a
way that you can't keep it
>> and your job through your want for MS
through your process of connecting to MS
That's all part of the
make fences for the connect to figure
out how to bring the Tyra into yourself.
I'll tell you a very interesting thing
that happened to me today. Tell you an
interesting thing.
I want to share this with the guys. It's
going to be relevant in your own
journeys. On the way to yeshiva, I get a
call.
I get a call from a lady. She says she
has a kabura. She's a person, a growing
person and she has a kabur of people, a
large kabur and they learn tyra and they
want to connect to tyra. She said what's
safer? I want to connect to mitzvah.
Give me the safer that will give me a
connection that will speak about maybe
the depth of mitzvah that will give me
that connection to mitzvah.
So we were talking for a while about
this and the thought occurred to me in a
certain way I don't know if a safer
could give her what she wants your own
thoughts your own relating to mitzvah if
somebody else tells you how they related
is not going to give you people always
want I'm learning with a bub what's that
safer I can learn that will and if they
see somebody who's connecting to mitzvah
in a way of fire is there safer. I can
learn also get that everybody wants that
safer. You know what that safer is? You
there's no safer that could do that for
you. The safer can only be an
inspiration that somebody else try to
relate to mitzvah. We're supposed to put
on we put on. So now what is it saying
to you? How do you relate to that
experience? Now put on and if it if it I
promise
I have
you put on and it's life changing your
entire you could go to a thousand and
nothing will impact you like putting on
film but I want my g I want all my parts
to touch it. Maybe study, maybe think.
Hashem, our creator, told us to put
these on. What could it mean to me? How
can I emotionally connect that task?
Nobody could do for you.
Putting it on and being impacted
your own attachment, what it means to
you. You can learn something and then
apply it to yourself. That's your own
job.
Means your own journey.
Be deliberate. Trust your own thoughts.
Have your own thoughts.
Know that through your own journey to
Tyra, you now become part of Tyra. You
have students. Students I I the Tyra
came from me. Mhm. Now give it over. It
becomes part your journey to get Tyra
becomes part of Tyra. teach it to
the human being is part of the Tyra
experience. Hashem wrote the in a way
that the human being's own way of of of
relating and understanding how is this
possible to keep. Oh, I can't do shinuy.
That's part of the Tyra process. The
human being's connection to the MS is
part of the MS. So that's based on
Shapiro had to learn this beautiful
beautiful Mishna specific specifically
for Adaru hada that's where Aishapiro
expressed in this mish
I thought it was remarkably relevant to
our generation of tremendous
tremendous want for and it was this in
the Mishna
how many years ago Revesi Maybe even
three years ago. He said it was show
this three years ago or two years ago
from Maybe even three years ago.
>> I was asleep.
>> Nana, you were there. He said it in the
annex.
>> Yeah.
>> Is Islam still here or he left already?
>> H what? We can't do guitars.
>> I want to say like this. We can't we're
not going to do guitars. It's spher and
we're loyal. There's a minist we we
certainly been following the minis
throw. We're not listening to music
right now. We're keeping that. But I
feel funny. Abby Schlommo mayor is here.
Maybe we can sing something together.
Come up. We'll think of something we
could sing together. Come. Come.
Let's go.
Oh, you got one for me.

The final song of the choir. We're going
to have Shimshi join in a minute. I want
to share I want to share
being here. I want to share quick ty
thought that I have learned this idea
from
I want to express it to tie together. We
came from the meeting with the camps. I
want to speak about that very briefly. I
want to speak about the following truth
including learning of
and it goes like this.
The next mission of us says
is from the remnants but the leftovers
were very interesting. What's this
leftover deal? You never want to be
called leftovers. The funny thing even
though people called the survivors the
sap the remnants. So it's not a negative
connotation but it needs and I don't
want to say right now though this what's
this is like leftovers what's being
expressed but
is the
I want to say this you'll hear it's
going to be relevant to her if we're
going to say in a second so is from the
remains of
he said three things
used to say
the world stands there three pillars to
the world
one pillar of the world is
a second pillar of the world is
and the third pillar of the world is
acts of kindnesses plural and the
question I want to ask is why didn't he
say three pillars of the world.
Acts of kindnesses plural. He's talking
about the three pillars of the worldass
doing. Why does he say plural
doing acts of kindnesses?
The world stands on
what is this plural? And it says
to be
to do
plural
plural kindnesses should say the world
stands on
what's
so I want to I want to share something
that I've observed in my life. something
I've observed
the pus and kyalis will say it from this
way and I have spoken about this a lot
and I've observed it in our world here
in Durham and I've observed it this is
just the truth the smartest man who ever
lived says
throw your breads on the water
and many days you'll find the bread you
threw that's the smartest man who ever
said, "Throw out your bread.
Throw it out there.
In many days, your breads will come back
to you. You'll find it." What's the
smartest man expression? It's some
people, you know, there are a lot of
famous stories where somebody was nice,
you know, there's stories of the
Holocaust where somebody was nice to a
neighbor and then that neighbor ends up
saving their life. That neighbor ends up
being a guard in the concentration camp.
And there's many such stories. And
certainly when that happens you say
many days with the rebum you will find
it
what that sometimes happened it's a
great
story wonderful what's he saying some it
doesn't happen who said you'll find it
what's he expressing sometimes he says
as a matter of fact in many days you'll
find
Will you always have everybody you're
nice to you'll have a great story how
later on they save your life.
>> I want to express what I think what is a
tr what I know as a truth and I think
what means do in many days you'll find
it. I want to express that when we do to
somebody we bring a certain kindness and
it unleashes that person to do as well.
said when somebody is kind unleashes in
the next person of kindness which
unleashes the next person of kindness. I
was observing today it was interesting a
lot of the guys now running trips went
on trips a lot of the guys running the
trips went on trips and there's
something beautiful about it that this
person received kindness and now he's
given kindness. I remember one day in
Sulam one day there was a carnival.
Ravaria brought a carnival. So you see
the first kind of somebody spent money
to like cheer up the guys and they
brought a carnival and the guys there
were setting up the guy Shafon kindness.
The guy who was setting up the carnival
was a musician and a lot of guys from
yes were giving him a lot of respect
for like oh you made up music. He was
playing his song to guys. So the guys
were doing kindness to him. Then he was
allowing people to do his rides. He was
I saw like kindness, kindness, kindness
to it looked like I I felt like I was
tasting eternity.
Kindness that causes more kindness that
causes more kindness.
Melik is making an observation. When
you're kind, you unleash a torrent of
kindness. The world's a better place.
You were kind to somebody. You unleash
their very nishama. When somebody
receives I have watched a yeshiva
a guy a guy could a guy a new guy comes
to yeshiva. It's very hard to be a new
guy in yeshiva. There are about 12 to 15
guys who just came out to yeshiva. It's
murder to be new especially in a place
of connection. It's harder to be new
here. If you're new in a secular school,
it's everybody the bell rings and you go
there in a place of connection and
you're new. You go to a shir and then
tight with each other. It's hard to be
new here. There's relationship. There's
conversation. You've had many
conversation with friends. He hasn't.
And I watch I'm specifically thing I
watch cuz sees a new guy like he runs
in. He makes the guy comfortable. That's
what I watch. [applause]
In a year, in a year, that guy's going
to be a vet here and he remembers
somebody was kind to me. Somebody saw me
and noticed me and he's going to repeat
the kindness to somebody else who's
going to repeat the kindness. You're
going to have a world the guy's going to
be a nicer to his to his wife in 10
years. And by the way, the kindness
comes back to you in a hundred ways.
Observed
is going to be so much fun to see just
the MS the sense of what your kindness
caused is
The amount of change you do worldwide
change from your kindness. It's
If you think about the change,
it's interesting to me. I don't want
it's funny to say publicly because it's
interesting to me just cuz in our world
I I like thinking about these things the
the present United States son-in-law is
a from he's a from he's probably having
a lot I don't want to say I don't know
how much impact on decisions anti-semit
are saying bad things hashem runs the
world imagine some revi was like nice to
rev Jared in third grade caused him to
be more kind to be more gentle here.
He's impacting world things.
If you follow trails of kindness, it
changes the entire world. Schlimmel made
a deep observation. He was the smartest
man to ever live. He said, "If you don't
need the crazy story, I was nice to that
kid and he said,
"Throw out your breads on the water
will be found in the world. You create
as reverberations a world of kindness.
It's one of my it's one of the most
beautiful things to watch here is people
receive and they give. Receive and they
give. Receive and they give.
They become vessels of giving. They
become vessels. You watch somebody who
is seen and he becomes somebody who sees
other. You watch somebody who receives
kindness and he becomes a vehicle of of
initiating kindness and giving. You
could watch it happen. The trips itself
like bring I loved watching the
presenters. Many of them were on trips
themselves. An older guy took the time
made a nice summer and together with
respect and love and then I watch Aka
Aka went on a trip himself was seeing
was and now he's like giving and see and
it's just this torrent of kindness that
spills onto the world in the most real
of ways. It's just an amazing truth.
We're not going to be privy. You're Shai
is is one of the nicest, one of the
kindest I've met in my life. You won't
see. [applause]
You won't always track. [applause]
You won't you won't always be tracked,
child. One day your kid's life is going
to be saved by a guy. And you won't know
this. That guy came like mamish from
your kindness. He was born from your
kindness. his husband, his father only
had a kid because of your privacy. I
these are realities. We're not privy to
all these things. These are things only
God can follow. We can't follow. There's
a world one day we're going to laugh our
head off. We're going to discover things
a guy does a random act. Now, it's fun
when you could follow it. It's fun when
you could say you can't you do kindness.
You don't know where that takes the
recipients of your kindness. You don't
know what comes out from that kindness.
But things you create and made from that
kindness.
I promise you says a student of this
world, he can guarantee you don't need
that crazy story. The guy you said hello
to. He ends up saving you. We shouldn't
have difficulties. We shouldn't have
camps.
>> But when you say hello to a guy, that
guy is nice to his wife who's nice to
her student in school. Well, that's the
the school ends up marrying your these
things
promises put kindness to the world. It
will just repeat. It will be in the
world. Lanessa, it repeats. I think it
doesn't say act of kindness because
that's not how kindness works. Kindness
is a is a is is just it's that which
multiplies. It's that which increases.
There's no such thing as
they're acts of kindnesses. If you do
one it goes l because it goes to that
that it's the nature of multiplies and
grows and develops and has a life of its
own
changed this world because it went and
then that's why I think he says three
stance
he doesn't say
them acts of kindness that keep
repeating
I I what I've watched has created
He's created a world. He's created a
world not with this
where people then who are doing see here
I want to say
it should say
if you're right
so I'm claiming it doesn't say
becomes there's no such thing as one
but it said
there's a huge
And I want to end with this. We have to
get the second
5:00. It's 5 seconds. So I want to like
this. Why does it call?
There's a big stew when it's late. We've
gone on all time. I want you to hear
is a contradiction.
If a guy works for you really hard and
you pay him, is that
he earned it? is what a guy didn't earn.
He didn't earn it.
By if a guy works hard for you and you
pay him, you do he earned it. That's
called MS. You call MS and that's MS. He
worked and you owe it. What by by its
nature somebody doesn't deserve. The
problem is that we call it the entire is
exact.
You know what means? means that which
you owe somebody means
wrote a safer called
the translation of means payment. Now we
have a real problem
is a complete contradiction
is to give a guy what they deserve is
what they don't deserve. Uh-oh.
>> The very expression if it's not if it's
what does it mean to be and we're told
to be
so I want to express that there are two
ways to do kindness. One does not spread
and one spreads.
What's the brand of kindness that
creates somebody who does kindness and
does kind there's two brands of
kindness. We come from Abraham to a very
specific grant. Is there such a thing as
bad kindness? So it says
the smartest man again who ever lived
said
there's something called bad kindness. I
have another proof. There's something
called bad kindness. Says Hashem is
good kindness. So you see there's
obviously something called bad kindness.
>> The worst type of kindness is pity.
>> You see that? That unfortunate look.
Look at this guy. That type of kindness
does not produce a kind person. It
actually reinforces the guy's a you give
something to the neb, you actually
reinforce him. He actually just becomes
a taker. When you give something to
somebody in a way that you're just a
poor guy and you give him a dollar like
that, you actually make him more of a
receiver. It's not a that grows.
The grows is
means you deserve this. I'm like moved
by you. I want you to have it like you
want to be of kindness. It's
as if I'm paying you. What's yours? You
like deserve this by your very essence
by your beauty by your specialist. You
deserve it. That's why it's called
I'm giving you what comes to you. You're
like worthy of this.
You deserve it. When you do kindness in
this way, you actually produce somebody
who does kindness. The person the
kindness itself Abrainu fed his guests.
They became people who fed others. It
restored like we're somebody there's a
certain type of kindness that buries a
person that teaches a person if you look
at the rau meets these three travelers
he says my masters
Allah is it possible is there any chance
I could have you they're looking at him
like are you serious
he's like could I have the opportunity
please don't is might get a chance like
there's certain guys they need an off
shabas you think of a guy in yeshiva
people are into a guy says like I need a
place for shabas need a place picture of
shimshi needs a place for shabs people
fight over can I have you when shimshi
comes to my house we're like whoa he
chose us we got it he chabu's
brand of that's in the pos
He saw he had he saw the human being. He
was like the chosen one when he came.
Is there any chance I could have you? He
had such
to have somebody was like he was like
chosen. He felt so honored. It was an
honor. He felt blessed to have somebody
that's brand
that comes out of deep appreciation for
other person. like worthy
if Schlomi asked any guy in the I come
to Shabas. The guy had promised
it's like I think so.
>> Yeah. Rezi would be like yeah like like
come like please
how much do you charge?
That's Abrau's brand
to see that when
you got what you deserve. You were like
worthy of it. That type of produces a
person then does to others. The person
learned their worth. When a person ate
by Abrau's house became a person who
hosted others. Abrau produced a whole
nation of hosts. When you were hosted by
a you became a host you learned who you
were okay I'm worthy you host others
that's the brand of give me if you're
giving somebody what you see them as
worthy of it becomes kindnesses
to them becomes to others becomes a
whole cycle
send out
the whole world
an entire world of gets formed that
completes. You get what I'm saying? It's
a beautiful world. I saw on these trips
people who got trips giving trips got
trips. I love that you see it in
unforced chill. I love when guys on the
trips are helping and
unforced just it's a natural flow of you
taking care of You feel your dignity and
then you taint him. It's this beautiful
world of kindness that that day in sum
that I experienced that that's this
beautiful world of kindness that a
person
I want to express and there are other
times to express but I'm talking about
the camps and we talk about a world of
kindness. I want to express if he never
does another camp but I hope maybe he'll
do it this summer.
>> [applause]
>> WE THE WORLD DOES KINDNESS and kindness.
This is the whole everything that we
have here in Durham. I see this type of
kindness from it's always with a sense
the recipient doesn't feel lowered. The
recipient feels like you're worthy of
this kindness. And it and the the proof
to the matter you can ask yourself about
the type of do you pity or do you
respect is does it cause a person who
does if you respect when you do the
you'll see they become a machine of
they're they're respecting they become
worthy of doing giving they see they
have the person recognizes I'm alive it
becomes a vehicle of kindness that's
this reverberating of this kindness that
just goes endless. Kindness to kindness
to kindness. It would be cool if we had
the eyes of Hashem to follow this
kindness to follow this world of
kindness. Like to see it, it would be
like remarkable. We would see all the
time somebody's nice to us came from our
father's kindness to that. It's just the
world.
Throw out your breads. You have what?
Throw it out and it will certainly come
back to you. an outstanding man.
>> Let's do one more song.
>> One more song before a second sater,
