and some of you may know that there was
a very sad story
that happened a short time ago
and many of you here most of you here
know the name of david weiner's
david was a very very unique
friend a friend of mine
and a friend of project inspire as a
matter of fact
if i recall correctly he spoke here at
the very first
project inspired convention
and david is a young man who well the
film will really tell us
who he really was he was on his way to
the age op convention in maryland
it was in a terrible car accident never
but i think that what happened
in the events after the patira is that
the family understood
that the greatest zaiker for david
is for us to learn from him and he's
someone that we constantly learn from
he used to call me by the way every few
months or so with some other idea
why don't we try this why don't we try
this i have a new book i have a new idea
let's say he was a kier of machine
because he loved eden his obviously
stroll
had no parallel so let's take a look
just for a moment
a little bit about the greatness of our
wonderful past friend
of david weiners film number five
when somebody comes into my office to
apply for a mortgage i'll often
be in the middle of something else and i
might have to have them wait for me for
a few minutes
in my lobby i have copies of cura
oriented sperm
people will pick these up while they're
waiting for me and leave through them
and if i see that you know have a
potential client
so to speak i may encourage to take the
book with them uh closing presents for
my
uh not yet from clients often will be a
cure-oriented safer gateway to judaism
by rabbi beckham
or something along those lines my
father-in-law
lived and breathed a vatican
my father would always differentiate
between a living
and a livelihood for a livelihood
he would work but his passion what he
did for a living
was reach out to claudius i think his
mission was
to make every jew feel proud that he was
a jew he knew
how to focus on a person to see what
would bring out
the happiness of religion in that person
that was his
great concept he wanted to teach all of
kai israel he had a dream
to build an empire of teachers he would
use every medium that he could
whether social media or just meeting
people
or the shops table i met rabbi wineyards
um
through facebook so it was introduced
totally in a non-religious way
when i started talking to him i was kind
of surprised
because i had thought somebody um of
that level of froomkite
would be a little more rabbinic people
love talking to him and
everywhere all over people asking
questions they love his wit
his love for other jews they felt it
they felt loved by him
we all felt love loved by him he loved
reaching out to other jews because he
cared about them
he wanted them to have that same
wonderful life that he had
he knew that yiddish was wonderful and
he wanted to share that with other
people
i think he was non-judgmental in other
words
you know there are many people who when
they see a person who's not religious
they'll criticize him but to him that
didn't
that didn't faze him he just felt it was
a lost soul somebody was looking for
meaning
and he tried to inspire them uh he got
to know this woman who worked behind the
account in cvs
that uh i found that she was jewish not
from she was expecting
and she told my father you know she was
never boy so
my father came in and said you know to
our house and said we have you know six
months to convince another breast and
when she had the boy
she had a medical circumcision she had
no religious
circumcision and it broke his heart he
felt terrible about it
my father passed on and during the shiva
this couple comes with their little baby
to
the shiva house she told my mother i
want to honor your husband
rabbi david weiners i want to honor him
i want to do a abrasive proper brace
mella for my son who's not six months
old
and she said you know now i feel so bad
that i didn't listen to him about the
bris
i never gave my son a jewish name i
would love
to name my son after rabbi winnie yours
so i said i got a great idea for you why
don't we do it when does the shiva end
the shiva and sunday morning
let's transform this house which is a
house of mourning
into a house of happiness let's do it
sunday afternoon
i was the sandik and my brother
gave the korea shame he named the baby
after my father
it was quite a wondrous thing to watch
how the events unfolded
and to actually see the success of some
of our labors
it's quite a moving
experience it is a great comfort
to know that so soon after he's gone
there's a little adorable gorgeous baby
boy that carries his name
now this little boy will be connected to
rob david from winiards forever
my abba fulfilled this topic in this
world
and uh we definitely miss it though
you miss him a lot when i put on
trillian for the first time that feeling
that he
connected me with um i felt
an inner spark that i had never felt
before and it just made me
feel completely renewed
he built a legacy he built a legacy for
generations to come with his positivity
his wit his his love for claudy swell
is forever going to permeate to the rest
of the family and hopefully to
everybody he was in touch with
as jewish people it's our responsibility
to pierce through the darkness that is
the world that is the craziness of the
world in a world god mad that we live in
and set the right example it's not a
matter of being better
which we're not simply a matter of
having a different
responsibility let's be the lighthouse
let's set a good example
it's a swiss for us to dedicate
this song to the winner
10 years ago
uh
