so Malaysia and welcome to Habad and friends everyone has heard of the famous Chabad must be accosted her mental footer fast it happens to be my wife's great-uncle and I had an opportunity to spend many many hours with him and in particular the one husband November fall day in 1989 I believe 88 or 89 he was in my house and in California while we were to Ashley was there in Los Angeles and he asked me he was together he came together with Rabbi right youth to raise funds for you Shiva the BBQ Shiva in there too slow and he asked me if I could take him to the mikveh we didn't have a mixer at that time in Marin County so I drove him out of my right cheek to the Mick from Berkeley and let me tell you what happened on the way and I mentioned this because the Mendel was a very colorful person the people don't know he had a great impact on many non lebar both in Russia and later in a Turkish row where he visited together with her gaze of several many cos edition literacy achievers and he inspired them as no other one person could inspire a crowd through his humor his sincerity his casa dos kite and his smarts he was a very very practical smart person so we're heading out 6:30 in the morning from Marin County San Rafael to Berkeley and we have to go over the Bay Bridge which connects San Francisco to Oakland the Sun is coming out it's beautiful it's quiet and as I'm driving over the bridge suddenly the mendel starts singing the following and I'll sing it the way you sang it a llevarlo I mean I show you me shall I show you be shallow ha ha oh me chef oh you're so you're so you're so you're so off the game Holloway Oh Mischa ha ha ha are you sure you're sure you're sure the one the meaning of the words the one fortunate is the one who hasn't transgressed hasn't sinned however if one has transgressed and sinned against God Almighty one can do teshuva one can return to a sham and have regret the remorse for what he did and he'll be forgiven begin hollow now I grew up with the song in the world of Chabad and I knew the song to end with the voice going down that in other words really fortunate is the person who didn't sit but if you sinned and you're a sinner then we'll forgive you as well so the voice in the song towards the end is a downer Oh Mischa and the one who sinned your show yourself to tissue though and then and if you do that the game how LOI Misha photo you're sure you're sure you're sure you're sure you're sure the year although you can hear the VM hollow you'll be forgiven if crying the second-best we have no choice God kind of has no choice he has to forgive you but really that's not where it's at but a Mendel didn't sing it that way and a Mendel sang o me cheerful yoshu of commercial yo sure your your show the young boy his voice went up and I'm driving over the Bay Bridge and I have these two considered real Hassidim grab a ride which will double a chick a bein in the of Tanya with a metal foot the fuss about mysterious Nephi she sat nine years in Soviet prison hard labor camps and he's singing the song they're saying being hilarious though it's the greatest thing so I asked it sat there that there is a Yiddish to give this word for uncle why are you singing it differently than the way it's son on the records and these shivers and at the tables and at the for Brennan's with the rabbit say so let me tell your story of

these conventions and meetings and you're kind of the asking everyone we know who you are and he answers them two versions my mental says there's two versions how he answers that one is I am sheikha Pfeiffer I'm just a little nobody a whistleblower I don't know how to learn how to out of bobbin I don't know all I know is how to whistle and the other answer is I am sheikha Pfeiffer I myself am a nothing but I am the rebels whistleblower I go with the clear cover covers bark of God Almighty and the tsadikim and the rabbit and fasteners and they're everything and I transmit everything of theirs I am sheikha Pfeiffer and I'm Evan tells me this as we're driving over the bridge getting closer to our destination and he says you could sink and ask a sham for chuhwa for forgiveness but you're broken because you did something wrong you're shattered and you know and you said yourself well really I'm not in God's best best standings but as second-best of get Yuva hopefully I'll get you fur or
