#13 Cincinnati Chabad yeshiva Farbrengen 12 Tammuz

you both of have old and what's the import of to learn from that up and and and you know to appreciate the re more and more and to appreciate theage you know are older and smarter and more experienced you learn from that you really learn from that and the re said I remember when the said this doesn't want break his windows get on remember and I and I memorize once 90 P of I remember when I was in when I was not when I was in Ocean Park memorize 90 pages of not and I had a I'll never forget first if you came with dirt on your hat or your jacket or your beard look and I'm looking at him tell what I do no clean M come down you Lear by was a kind of a special so is okay L finger point your finger to any page I go like this hi he says read what it says and I start reading the and he starts reading to me word for word I promise you what it says before the few lines before and the few lines after EC when I was 17 years old the told me the was in my house an uncle to me my I saw him the 770 sitting down and the great he's sitting there and he's like mumbling mumbling I see label all time doing the same thing I sit next to label what do you think I know people are don't Nam told thank you he's right and I for a long time but you know and this and that all the excuses all the excuses you know was had a chance to have a job to be a manager over people in elot in in the he hates to yeah youle packages and boxes they came to him how do we know this because the the that worked with him came to and they said who that the crazy guy who's the crazy guy he crazy he's one of our stars from theage they say that they came what do you want you offer him a job he should be a manager over other that are slepping the the packages and theot and and the bricks was they were building the country and I said a v he never explained to us he's an older man back breaking work we want to give him an easier job we fought he has a a vice a board you know we know we're not they're probably you know we know what type we know a little bit about it we don't know and he doesn't want you're nuts so you know was but they told someone they said when he packages and boxes if he'll have to be a manager he won't be able to do that because he'll have to supervise other people he doesn't want that no you imagine you have back breaking work and someone offers you a job to have easier and you say no I don't want that I want to continue slepping and labor hard labor and all that why this way so thinking over that you learned is very important anyway so that what I'm getting at is the the point is that the El an older is a very important thing because it it it gives you it gives you a picture I remember thas so I told you about that camp quarter way back inan M was my house he was a very smart man he was a a p you know StreetWise besides everything else he was a smart man calls me up he says dolphin didn't say Rabbi dolphin doin doin he knew me from Los Angeles from the when I was a buff so he [Music] says said told my wife had this was I think had two babies you know we have four has four bedrooms have such a see them in my house y y you don't say I don't have food who's going to clean the beds of course then you start cleaning the beds so rendle calls me I say F my our uncle f excuse me but like like every year you come to San Francisco they would come would come once once a year to San Francisco for one day in the morning and the evening they would leave they wouldn't even stay over because they want too many people to go ask money for a few other who learn t with ra and the but in a few hours he and get on the plane back to San Francisco an hour ride from from from from San Francisco to Los Angeles less than an hour anyway [Music] so every year you come you never ask me to stay I was there eight years M went La for 4 Years anyway so he he asked me why why uh I asked I was I'll satisfy you you have to know you have to know why I have a sister he had two sisters gold and and there was handal four children menki the son ofi no the son of had four children and at the fourth child he died in child name same right so he says brother my wife's grandmother he says Australia she lived in [Music] Australia and and she I told you how they were very very friendly and like was family very tight very tight I told before so's mother was gold and she was a sister to who was my wife's grandma and they had two brothers and the artist so so uh he U he says she bothers me and NES me to come to melbour and then he tells me I don't have old I am I'm old and a tired old man I'll for my S by going to her granddaughter which is your wife and that's why I'm asking to come for you for a night good answer so he he he comes and then they tell you a lot about that one day learned so much just just being around these people sh yeah why they bring it what why did they bring it they went together they went together they went together they went to Detroit them phly they went around raising money for the Yesa in for for and that's by the way I always thought that he gave they were raising money really told me last 10 15 years his father know this was this is the Russ he gave the money to theab he didn't give it to M he gave it some re and he said re he didn't say himself he said you know what to do with the money you want to give it to M give it to m because they complained later on they had complaints to we don't have sidewalks we need Plumbing we need this give us some of the money from fundraising so M said a f you get a fig for meig what the money is not my money the money do and out he says my f that's the way he raised money in Ran he didn't raised the money and he decided where the money should go he gave it over either to or whoever whoever was in charge over there and they decided cuz they were the they were in charge of and so didn't the money directly to M even though he was raising money for he gave the money told and the re decides and he told you have a TI right to the it's his money not my money it's his money anyway so mle was there together with and um sh have a every day had we made in my house and said to me a which is on the video many of you probably can see it don't know which is good knowing so he says to me let us together what's the he says father went to the colon colon the colonies to raise money for the for the to raise money be a place in a colony you know you don't have a min but it's right is here looks like he's half asleep right he wasn't and and I'm barely here it's three of us such St such strength make sure to D with three people you can't get 10 three anyway so sit first of all I saw I saw what I what I heard from read the I saw my own eyes put his Tow on his on his back on his right and he starts like going back and forth you know I had that image but I never really saw it I didn't see see by you know and see it by this I'm just saying I didn't see it I saw it like you know here it is here it is you know the palace it SES a walk here a walk there he stops he thinks it was just real makes the BR puts on the every word says the put on the okay and he sits down and then he starts saying you know whatever there's a late fil and I walk in with my camcorder imagine I walk such a such a m over there didn't have a tripod but this big thing I put it on the table facing him I told you it's like he looks at I get to the point he looks at me he says don't and he said it was such a do then the school like to my house DOL you take this away right away and I say F I didn't say that Uncle I'm not taking it away and he looks at me and I thought he's going to eat me up he say this I'm telling you I remember like now he says why not why not and he says it with a a base cut you know with a he's upset and these were my words I said to him I want my kids from 20 years from now to see he didn't give up he heard my answer loud and clear he continued he says say [Music] my answer was another let me video that's how you have the video there is the and you need both you can't you need both I don't care I don't care who you need both from the biggest the videos are even online they they stole my video they put it online I said go do whatever you want go online you'll see it you're not let to go online sorry line should I don't know it's online you look from you see it line line very good which line should you gohe the line the line anyway 20 years from one day I wake up and I say to myself I'm Brooklyn Bart I say you know I have this video it's time to I just I one day what why you this laying around it's a gold mine I take it out I said let's let's get into production and let people benefit from it it was 20 years when I said to them men play the I want my children to see in years I'll tell you secret not secret I have something I hope I have something in my boxes I let go to my boxes I'm you want fun just tell what you found so I can also have came over to my house and they look through my my archives my boxes and I I I I had a video of if you saw that what I saw I my my big dingy big camera again I put and I from the from the stands over there and I wish I would have known him better inste a capit tilling before they started to see you would melt from one little you ever hear someone say I kill him like that a bar not a snug not a a person that's looking for ego Al every word I had that on video I caught it on video I don't know where it is but the see like that so here you have you have they're older than you you need to look up to them you need to ask them brain tell us and I'm sure they do but you know more and more and more all all of whoever it's it's whoever whoever it is you know what did you see what did you hear that's how you develop that's how you grow then your appreciation from RE is so much more sure you can get it from you see G video video video video all kinds of videos okay but someone was and they and they you know it's it's it's a it's a different it's a different thing both are needed and both are good the you know and and and in theage this was a a a way told me I remember once everyone CU a me 770 upstairs starts early Rin and then we go in now 2 hours 11 12:00 and who do I see and I see the so I say I [Music] said you know sh so he answered me probably otherwise would say you know go somewhere you know what I mean he would say go fly a kite you know but he he answered me he says there's a certain I wish I would remember I don't remember mention after something about and it's it's like what it doesn't seem like is being anything he being of something [Music] forget you [Music] knows and he says put that's we told don't don't make don't make don't make you know this you know just take it and go don't don't don't build mountains and buildings and don't don't do that cuz that's stupid it's narrow if you would be P ory no problem put and do whatever you want no problem I'm not saying to be little not saying that but I'm saying is maybe I'm oldfashioned maybe I'm from a different day could be could be I'll admit but but but you know and I'm telling you he people don't understand you don't know who he was you don't know who this man was you really and even his the mostl don't know who he was you don't understand you really don't understand it he was the biggest Mist the biggest Mish but in a different way way it's a different way it's not way okay no problem it was always you heard I'm sure you heard it was a a very wild how do I know told me that he was in and when he took his mouth was don't you wouldn't be next to him and son-in-law speaks and I have a collection of the Gin Gin interviews with six inish it's it's a a treasure if you haven't heard of those that know yish you should make it you should make a business to listen to these these these tapes very important very very important lot of lot of important anyway so he says there the guy asks him the guy who you know he says those it those [Music] but he spoke that way says you have no idea who this man was and he start saying got in the morning hear went he went and he when did he eat four five 5 6:00 when he came home he took something in his mouth and complaining about's mouth so he says still he said you know anyway so and and everyone was still old was older what's going God first of all he's laying it into US oh but I a good he's like knocking us off feet boom knock out knockout it's a KO what do they call that a knockout right he's knocked out number two what's coming out of his mouth we can't sit you you are to stop speaking this way from the moment he got the letter from he shut his mouth that's a and he's a that he might even been older than I don't remember now yeah by by yeah Strokes I don't know exactly may push I don't he stopped cold turkey C stop the said quiet you're really thinking it in it's not the people can't handle it it's not rlan it's not leage it's not Neville you know in Neville you can you can talk this way leab in America it don't go in Tel AV it don't go post holoc Parisa he had the helicopters to spread out the then came he took backous it's a good to know who is I know I haven't seen yet the face I and older that ever so it it's it's it's narrow to like box people in you know it's nrow to box people in and and and I I don't want to bring this down to you know I want to talk about the so if you're Mas if you're if your Elder instructs you in a certain way you have that coule and if you don't feel it discuss it with him he can discuss it with you yes has no problem discussing with you and you know if this is the closest the inion from from being honest to being honest listen I want to say certain things you're bu but one of my daughters was was meeting someone I'm a certain Yeshiva you'll probably figure it out my daughter said you know she would like to have in the house uh an instrument te children some music face I forget what the was and the was an upgrade more than her and and she was willing to rise to the occasion right to be become more she's fine say and he gave her such a hard time I would never allow such an instrument in the house it was a musical instrument so I asked the sh I said could you do me a favor find out from him where is he getting his his Source it was Mish it it was a I don't know if it was a was a and he said his told him this is not acceptable okay now should could happen for but the point is that if you're a tal if you become a tal of a certain certain a certain person and you really believe that and you really work with it come onus have no ESS mean in that case I thought it was a little extreme and here you know you had a a good person who was willing to but no you you more narrow and okay no problem so it's it's it's not you know like El is black and white you know the black and white is very I I don't know may maybe they allas are in black and white mode I don't come from that world I don't think megus comes from that world in our world there was no it wasn't a black and white World it really wasn't you know we used to wear color shirts now I'm not saying you should wear color shirts today okay but I'm just saying like you have more color shirts and I don't want I don't want to go you know Sports I don't know what you know I'm saying like I went to high school my principal par went they didn't have they went had a whole day and they didn't go to English said you shouldn't go to English they didn't go to English my father my grandmother was they were survivors came to America want we should you know how do they say Dr Grand a Dr Rabbi you'll be educated you get a college degree you'll be a rabbi Dr so we had in Ocean Parkway the rash made you know rash made have made the English

learn I want to learn whole day I want to learn what did I do I learned during English in class don't think the devil was the only one who had under hiss his paper his book a I had it also I was telling you anyway whatever I wasn't interested in English and I was messing around fooling around you know fooling around in the sense not that I went to play ball or to you know I I I just I learn the hi I remember it was like and the teachers Dophin what do you got under your your what do you got under your book over there I said a a a t a gar mishas what is that some of these people know you

high school not only you better do what they tell you the teachers you better you better get a not C's and Fs and D's an A and I changed my whole attitude I changed my whole attitude from that one conversation so why because I love I did love him but it's because I respect it when you respect the person you listen so respect your elders you have Elders learn from your elders have them tell you what the B is what is what is what Masia is what is what is you know everything together and then you will grow and grow and grow and you become bunch of nonsense you maybe we should make a group put
