thank you
what a bracha it is to be part of this
great organization project inspire
I'm the founding partner along with my
wife
I'm the chair of the board
and I'm the highest paying employee the
project Inspire has
you know um
we just this year formed a board
and when you form a board on Project
inspire
it's not a regular board it's different
don't get me wrong we still do all those
fun things like looking at spreadsheets
metrics and of course fundraising
but when you get people who want to be
on a board because they're taking
responsibility
because they want to change the Jewish
people
that creates a whole new energy on the
board
so I just want to take a moment I know a
lot of people uh they uh have left
already they left this morning they were
here but I just wanted to recognize the
board members on this great organization
project Inspire so in no particular
order and so when I mention your name
sorry guys I have to do this to you but
please stand up
so

Ira Perlmutter now I know Ira's here he
saw it before today
okay and we also have Jeff schachter
is Ashish staller
we have Tom Rosenberg
Mendel brockfeld
a frying Burger
and Michal Barnett
sorry also Lou Goldberg
don't forget that and Alan seidenfeld
who's in Toronto
is a tremendous board and I'm looking
very forward to making a great
organization even greater
now we've mentioned this earlier in the
in the convention
but we're really here
because of a dream of my Rabbi the
roshishiva of of Aisha Torah of Noah
Weinberg that's all
you have to understand way of Noah
approach he
his approach to kirov he felt you had to
create a grass roots movement
and the from army was the army that was
going to help end assimilation that's
what he felt
and his dream was Project inspire
and
he also
had this drive that he had to that he
that he had to
try and resolve all the struggles that
the Jewish people were facing and that's
why in terms of communication and doing
kiruv he created they created ace.com
one of the greatest Judaism websites in
the world
and then you also have he was doing
kirov crovin he says imagine an Outreach
organization going into the from
Community
created project kazon Rabbi Danny
mechanic who was teaching here
throughout the convention that comes
from Asia Torah not everybody knows that
they're going into all the the yeshivas
and the girls high schools throughout
North America and also in England as
well
he created students who who Dr Who had
this drive to change the Jewish people
he his right our our own director our
leader Rabbi Haim Sampson
he took he took rev Noah's vision and he
was his he was a a fervent uh fervent
talmud of Noah he took his vision and he
put it into action he created what we're
seeing here today
he says we see Aisha Torah has had all
the all the drives within Aisha Torah
created this organization that we have
today so I urge all of you to to support
this great organization project inspire
but I also urge you support the art
great organization that gave birth to
this organization
and that's uh Aisha Torah
now I want to give you all of Racha
and you've heard you may you've heard
this broker before that you take care of
his children
and he'll take care of your children
now it's true
if you get involved in kirov and you're
taking care of his children
your family anybody who knows who
they've gone into care of it's been a
great positive force within their family
it's affected them their family we all
know this
you take care of his children he takes
care of your children
but that's not the bracha that I want to
give you today
the braqqa that I want to give you today
is
if you take care of his children
he's going to give you more of his
children to take care of
you take care of his children he's going
to give you more of his children to take
care of we see with avram avinu
when a cottage Morocco is about to
destroy Saddam and he says to avram he
says
should I hide from over on what I'm
about to do I'm about to destroy his
Dome
so we all ask this is a cottageboro here
he needs to ask himself I have to inform
avram that I'm what I want to do
so Rashi answers it and he says well he
was called he he says I gave him the I
promised him the land
and I made him and I called him avram
why because he said of hamon goyan
okay he's a father of many nations
and that's why I have to inform him
now
even so so he's a father I promised his
land he did promise the land but if you
ask yourself hold on he promises land
for his descendants not for the current
people who were living there why is it
cuttersburg who afraid that I have to
tell him about what what I what if I
don't tell him I'm about to destroy the
people here
so we see when avra mavinu when he took
responsibility for the Jewish people
when he took responsibility for hashem's
children Hashem says now I have to now I
have to tell him about all of the
children
it's avram's taking the responsibility
for the Jewish people which made Hashem
look at him is now I have to consider
him for the entire world
and that's the role of Jewish people in
the entire world
so when we're doing care of when we're
looking at other people when we're
reaching out to other people
we should have it's not just that we're
going to affect our the people that
we're looking at when we take
responsibility it becomes a Cascade of
events everyone knows you take
responsibility and you more
responsibility somehow comes to you how
does that happen
it's because a cutish bar who is giving
you that responsibility
now you're going to be coming out of
this convention and you're going to be
going home after this convention what
are you going to do I mean you heard a
lot of great things a lot of great
opportunities but I want to tell you
something that you can do that is not
hard you're going to go back to your
shoes back home
and there are easy things that you can
do coming out of this convention
the social fat are so we socialize in
our shoes it's a great way to build cure
of activity within our stools
go to your shoes and see who within your
heever who's learning with other people
who's learning with less Affiliated Jews
get together and form achhevra that is
looking is surveying who's who is
learning with other people with other
people after you do that you can create
all sorts of cure of activity within the
shield you can create Onyx shabbas you
can do a Shabbat tone it's not hard but
within your shoes go home and get that
cover together and figure out what can I
do within my shul you invite a few
people over you get together for what
Onyx Shabbos it's very easy lots of easy
things to do we have a Purim project
coming up and our easy Outreach project
get some people together organize within
your school who are you going to give it
to forums in a few weeks
another thing you can do and you can
also get the Outreach organizations to
help you when you get back to your
schools in other words our goal is not
just that we should go out and do care
of ourselves but we should be
facilitators
connect network with the Outreach
organizations inspired project Inspire
can help you other people can help you
but get them to set people up in your
shoe with shabba's guests
for us to be facilitators and for us to
reach out and create a nucleus within
each shul
that can create here of activity that is
what project Aspire is all about
and that is something easy that we can
all do and we can take home from this
convention it's not enough just to be
inspired we have to put a Lamesa
so
really all I want to say in
really in the conclusion here is that
the this hasn't been an incredible
experience I think we can say for all of
us this this Shabbos this weekend
and we have to realize the power that we
all possess we have incredible all we
have to do is listen to all the stories
that were happening over this weekend
are we not convinced that if only we
make our history only we are working
make that history to take care of a
cottageboro for the children are we not
convinced he is going to give us the hot
slaka he's going to also not only give
us that hot slaka but believe it or not
he's going to give you more of his
children to take care of thank you
