thank you
Madam and welcome to Torah talks kazak's
Tuesday night program with special
guests tonight we have with us a very
dear friend
how you doing
is
if you could give us a little background
about yourself a little bit more about
the organization the grid campaign and
movement that you started so um a few
years ago I wasn't always in the
wheelchair that man off the camera could
see but um and uh I had you know a tumor
in my spine and we basically have to get
surgery for it was a ten and a half hour
surgery oh wow yeah
um actually not far from the Kazakh
headquarters in lij but uh it didn't do
it too well don't worry I had two
infection surgeries after that also but
so one of the repercussions of a spinal
cord tumor and surgeries thereafter to
get rid of it is that it can you know
cause tremendous you know obviously
paralysis
or but another thing I can do is you
know the bathroom because sometimes be
affected so a little background my
personal self um I was in Darke for you
know
it's also we're officially part of
Queens yeah
you know our ZIP code is you know
technically Queensborough but um so I
call when maribe actually who we'll talk
about later maybe that he actually did
want a sheer refer you know we had a
tremendous trust to partner with Kazakh
right you know I appreciate this because
of course anytime yeah they're always
spreading the light yeah exactly so you
know we'll talk about that a little
later
um but um
please maybe we could do something to
you know you can you know help me like
you know go to the bathroom again and
stuff like that and you know these stuff
are very painful obviously after a
surgery you know you just your head's in
a different world you know you're not
really like focusing I'm sorry to ask
but this came out of nowhere and like it
was just randomly my my foot started
hurting and all of a sudden like
I just like
I don't know I went to the doctor and
he's like yeah you have the emergency
room wow so it was a little bit you know
it was a little bit rough but um so yeah
so um so I you know I went to the doctor
and went to the emergency room and after
the surgery
um so I called my rabbit I said if I
kill some please make some sort of
kabbalah's like you know take upon
himself something that could you know
hopefully I'll be a merit for for you
know for the future that you should be
able to you know get better and have a
full flavor okay he said he calls me
back a few minutes later he says it says
that if you if you stand the place by
Ashia you have come on you have you have
concentration it'll bring you great
merits
[Music]
so all the boys in my Yeshiva they said
they were they took upon themselves for
about a week or two whatever it was that
they're gonna stand the place by
ashyatzar meaning not move around now
standing ones together
so so embarak Hashem it really worked
wonders for me um because the doctors
came in that I still remember I called
them a matasha I was that Shabbos
um the doctors came in and said you know
you're gonna not get to go and you're
gonna be this and that little stuff for
six months and I was like we go by
different rules I'm sorry and we have a
burial and we have a we have someone
who's more in charge than but you're in
charge and so uh you know barakashem uh
it worked wonders and I saw the the
power I said you know I got to spread
this to other people so you know people
you know they told us about it that like
you to help them tremendously
unbelievable wow unbelievable what we
learned from here is that whenever
there's an individual that goes through
a challenge don't just go through it but
grow through it and that's exactly what
you're doing like yeah
thank God he's uh spreading the message
to the world no pantana that's Torah
talks you know that that's not say
that's the terror talks like that you
know that's and just a true you know a
tremendous lesson I've took out is that
you know a lot of times
um that people say how do you how do you
deal with this Challenge and you know I
didn't mentioned my mother also passed
away middle of this from stage for
breast cancer so people say how do you
deal with all this it's so hard and this
and I said and are you angry at a sham
and I said I said to be honest if it was
the other way if let's say I was in the
year then I didn't have this support and
you know all this all this uh you know
people and friends besides for that but
if I didn't have a God that I realized
like why did he do this to me like what
do they what are they going to live for
I don't understand right like I'm
serious so like let's see for 20 years
you're walking around I was playing
basketball I was you know I was told
guys you know I was I was able to run
around Jump Around Drive everything and
all of a sudden yeah I'm able to still
drive I got a new car that's it with
hand controls because I've seen the car
yeah it's about but if I didn't have
Hashem then how how would I he has a
plan do we understand no we don't
understand it but you know but the but
the end of the day like it's like the
greatest muscle they give which is a you
know a parable an example they give if a
father sees this kid running into the
street it gives him a big slap he says
don't you ever do that again
is the kid can be the kid's gonna be
upset like an Outsiders are gonna say
yeah the kids will be upset at the
father but the father is doing what's
best for the child he knows what's best
for me so I got to you know people have
to get patches and then you have to you
have to try to you know ultimately try
to capitalize and try to grow from it
you know well because what inspiration
this is a lesson for us all you know uh
it'll be usually unbelievable that's it
let's call it a night
very very very inspiring but uh like you
mentioned before we did do a few events
uh after this whole scenario I was
during covet and it was virtual and we
had many different speakers it was uh it
was kazak and uh many speakers or any
time I think it was online yeah it was
touring time of course uh that hosts a
lot of the virtual stream for us and we
appreciate it
um if there would be one speaker we had
many or one kid there's one Insight that
sticks out anything come to mind yeah so
I I don't want to say which speaker or
whatever but it happens because they're
over amazing yeah they're all a plus but
one one thing that like resonates with
me just I was really palachi and I'm
sure I think he was he was a good friend
that was out together this past the
other Sunday very nice yeah so so Rory
Palace is you know the speaker and one
thing I stuck at him he said
exactly he said do you understand you
have free health insurance policy who
wouldn't take it
was saying the the mass of the world say
and this Farm all the previous sages and
everything says if you stand if you have
in mind by this blessing you'll be cured
from many cures and you won't have to
come to the doctors you have free health
insurance policy and that was something
like like you know what has it really
resonated with me and and I've heard you
know other people about Hashem has got
because from that end and everything all
other stuff but that's like one type of
art that really sticks into my mind you
know just to add to what you're saying
to what the the rabbi said is that uh
the Sephardic ocean is just a few
varying differences of the lotion of the
wording Safari there's 45 words in the
ashayat sir which is gamachu is an
American value of the word Adam really
so Adam which is man wants to be
complete you say all 45 words
I heard uh there's a new say for a new
book yeah I have it here
so we we partnered together on his
beautiful safer amazing amazing
um about Ashley outside
um so we're not gonna go through the
whole book right now
but maybe you could stick oh I see a
Ford but yes yeah forward so I said one
one I'll tell you about it I stand it
Forward
um by Ruben Feinstein he did uh he he
also had Antarctica right amazing you
know which robot just give it a shout
out to you exactly so Irwin fancy said
unbelievable he said what does it say
just think I should thank you Hashem for
letting me go to the bathroom tell me
about cavities and and openings and
Hollows
tacos
I have fruits of the of the land of the
ground tell me straight I think
he says what happens if Hashem decided
right now that there should be in in Mr
a that he has a little hole this big
teeny teeny little bit punctured in his
in his in his lungs he would die in a
second splits a little a little teeny
little hole what happens if something
was That's supposed to be that's you
know that's supposed to be you know open
and it's closed a little blockage
I mean I'm not a doctor but I'm assuming
there's plenty parts of the body that
you know just one little blockage you
know could cause heart failure it could
cause any failure within seconds
so that within seconds a person could
die so that's what I that's what the
bracha is saying that if I wanted to I
could I create all these cavities and
Hollows and this and that because it's
part of creation that creation
it shows it portrays hashem's power his
Almighty power how
all these different things how he's you
know creating and recreating the world
every single second and and that's why
you know that's why that's you know
that's that's why uh
we have all these details with them
exactly exactly exactly you know so um
and actually uh another bar I heard from
Obama was it was um you know a fellow
Queens Rabbi
right so he said that the I think the
dress around says that the it says in I
mean because she made a song about
Barefoot and I Remember album heard it
and he said over a vart that by refuse
right it's that Hashem just like just
like in the beginning of creation it
says boracious barley came out Hashem
created the world from nothing right
we call it something from nothing right
right the same thing by by medical
referrals and medical you know medical
situations
um that that Hashem creates and
recreates The Refuge he's beautiful so
which means if somebody says the doctors
say that this man has six months to live
and this is
Hashem creates he creates the reform so
that's why you know that's another
amazing Insight you mentioned touched
upon a song yeah it came out maybe you
can tell us a little bit more about that
oh so it was very interesting so my
uncle
um Rebecca he from you know from the 510
so he he was I was sitting in the
hospital bed and it was you know it's
obviously very lonely and I don't but
obviously I'm a lot of family you know
friends family cousins Aunts Uncles
everybody came to visit me and my mother
elevation was there you know three
months straight
um I didn't miss the day my parents came
and my sisters and everybody
and I was sitting there and some people
came also were singers and you know
singers came and Joey new commercial
Victor came you know one day and my
uncle was there it says Hashem is Right
Hashem creates her forests so so you
have to you know make a song about that
only him is by her voice
so on the spot we were just like going
through different stuff and he said
listening I had disconnected back nature
and and mojaved at this can age and I
went to school with my because
shout out to you that's so funny yeah
nice so um so so yeah so so one thing
about the next then we made a song and a
music video and amazing you know all
through create the awareness awareness
charge you know and we think that we are
in charge is it
to speak to so many rabbis but at the
end of the day you'll see your message
really resonates as a for lack of
whatever it's like an American one of us
that that is out there with this
powerful message of appreciation
appreciate everything we have it taking
whatever God gives you and trying to
give it out to the world so we enjoyed
every single word that you've been
saying I felt back that I wasn't I'm not
a rabbi so Torah talks I appreciate you
saying that because like I I have the
almost coming from uh you know but your
message is is definitely very it
resonates and it's very powerful and uh
we haven't been out we have a custom in
Torah talks which is one final message a
final message
I want to mentioned I don't think he was
