of prime source for being behind this project and for sponsoring all this amazing lighting and Equipment my eyes are hurting me that we have over six lights here already on us and it's fantastic thank you Stefan Rabbi Lawrence hasof what a treat it is to have you here with us it is such an honor such a pleasure to finally be invited to your podcast I took time let's let's be honest we said we needed a 100,000 listeners first so okay I'll let you off this time well maybe he's going to help us get 100,000 listeners okay okay whatever whatever it takes I guess right Rabbi Lawrence I don't think anyone here knows this little tidbit of a fact but you were sitting on my patio when we were coming up with the name of the noneof your business podcast yes this is a true story we were sitting around and we were talking about the fact that we were going to start a podcast it was a little over a year ago and we were just uh going around with names do you remember this I do remember it vividly yeah on your patio yes on the patio and there were a selection of names I think he went to GPT to find a selection of names actually see which one fits that didn't work that didn't work you know I did use chat GPT by the way to ask today about Rabbi Lawrence hasof and I have to tell you you're a pretty accomplished fell Co to chat GPT asked my wife different story all together Robert Lawrence you know didn't you start off your career as a comedian or something I have some sort of recollection say I started my career I used to make a little bit of extra money when I was at College doing standup comedy stop it and but I really was terrible so I gave it up and give a rabbi instead but I did actually no no tell me about that experience I need to know just's jump right into it so there was a competition at my University that they wanted to have like comedian of the year and I applied for it and had to go through rehearsals and I got the um I got into the audition and from that I got um offered various jobs doing comedy had a good friend of mine called Simon and he would drive me around to different places do the stand up you know comedy and I went to one location and it was a birthday party a guy had found me some house a newspaper report whatever it was and I went this venue and it was this guy's wife's birthday but she was turning 90 wow so the average age and she was young for the crowd the average age people in their mid90s and every joke I told you could hear their false teeth like cting no laughing and my friend Simon who was my unofficial agent was outside and the door was slightly open and I could see his face and he was crying he couldn't breathe oh my at that point I realized that I need to find a new career was not going to work I did actually go through class is true by the way my cousin Adrian had to do standup comedy went to a course the standup comedy course what did you learn I tell you something I I can't remember everything but there's one thing does stand stand out in the stand up see stand up and what they made you do was tell jokes to the crowd the other you know students and then they would stop laughing and they would say now you die you have to fall on the floor dead I pretend obviously what was the idea that you're going to die eventually all communs have to get used to failing on stage so then just pay to tell jokes they prepared you to fail on stage I will say that that course was like an eight part course really got into my had the importance of speakers the best speakers which is what I do a lot of are comedians because if you don't hear what they're saying no one's going to laugh so a lot of my um speaking techniques actually gain from watching comedians which I love you know as well but watching stand up and learning from them how to speak eloquently and clearly so that people can hear the punch line so they can laugh at your jokes yeah but I don't know if you know this Michael but shuis at night you know does an art form to keeping people up and keeping people awake so in our Shool lots of schs do this I don't think it's Unique to us they bring in different speakers to come and entertain the crowd right so our scho we have a lineup usually of four or five people and Rabbi Lawrence hasof is one of the people that comes and speaks in our SCH I met him him like two or three years ago I don't remember which year we started this but it was the first time I met him and I'll never forget I remember that night I was struggling to stay up man I was really struggling this was everybody around me you know everybody's dozing off slowly you know we're losing people as the hours go on and then this guy comes and he shows up and he was I think the final speaker before the rabbi the rabbi speaks at the very end but he was the final speaker so it was very late into the night it was like 3:00 a.m. or something and he comes and he speaks within like 60 seconds everybody was alert everybody was tuned in it it was clear that this was going to be a little different this was going to be fresh and you're talking about comedy and I think what you did well and what you really made you stand out from everybody else was that you weren't just giving a speech you were coming with character you came with personality and you were an Entertainer and I think good speakers that's what they do they entertain a crowd they Infuse a little bit of Comedy a little bit of emotions right there has to be a lot of that try to call it I try to call it edutainment that's my thing education content and entertainment because there's a lot of alternatives to listen to rabbis whether online Instagram YouTube or live so if you're not entertaining people they'll go somewhere else yeah everyone who's a speaker today including you guys in your podcast they got to entertain no one wants to have a boring experience when it comes to their precious time and their own personal entertainment yeah people want to have fun listen people you know life is not always you know fun not always entertaining sometimes people get sad people are depressed people are down we need more humor we need people to laugh more and to say more joke not take life so seriously you know this is really a key element to people just being happier is take life so seriously you know make a joke or two don't take yourself too seriously and I think people who do that well I think they're just happier in general can I just um you started off talking about how you know I got involved in the when you were selecting the name of your podcast but you didn't mention how I first met you so I want to tell your viewers how I first met you oh boy because this is always interesting anybody that met Michael there's always a story behind always a story there's always a story so let's hear this so this story is a good one because we um were living in a certain neighborhood uh in Mony and then I got a call saying that were erecting a new neighborhood um that was coming and uh my wife and I were looking for a you know had a growing family and they said you can try to get into this neighborhood but there's a gatekeeper a guy you need to speak to really and this guy is going to interview you and he's going to decide whether you are right you and your family right for this neighborhood I was very nervous and had an interview to live in a neighborhood big deal no it's a crazy is that normal crazy I don't think it is like you have to meet people prior to moving into a neighborhood fit and to be approved to be approved really so I call it what's the name of the guy who is your my contact person over there to have this interview process his name is k Greenfield and the house next door to him is the house that's V and so I had the interview and I obviously came with my shirt and my tie in those days I used to wear a tie now I don't I turn up and the front door opens and there's this guy wearing you know shorts and like a wife beat up and he come in I'm like what this this is it this guy's going to vet and I'm still upset to this day that this guy vetted me and my family no doesn't order you think you're upset how do you think I feel when we decided that the back of your house should be facing me and you ended up designing your entire house and you turned and you made a 180 and now your entire front of your house faces my house true and you made that decision all on your own I didn't even approve that how did you even come to be in this position that you were chosen to I was very lucky to uh there was a property that was owned by someone uh named quki who owns a lot of property in the Rockland County area and he had property and he was he wasn't doing anything and I I kept coming to him and I said what are you doing with your property you have to start developing and doing something my property is like wine the older it gets the more valuable it gets and I said I said you're actually right but you got to do something at some point and it was impossible to speak to him so I did what any good person in the real estate world would do and I went to his dad and I made a deal with his dad and I brought in an investor and we bought 24 properties as a collective and part of buying the properties was we're going to make this an entire community so even though the properties were smaller we made a decision that having smaller properties but having it in one culdesac type of area where all the kids can play and everyone can enjoy themselves is more beneficial so I had the ability I don't know about the right but I had the ability to be a little bit selective on who's coming into the community I want to know did you uh decline anybody was there anybody that you actually said nah this is not for you so R Lawrence tell me a little bit more about yourself exactly by the way Michael I have to say this sounds very like it's not your type you're not that snob material I'm very much judging other people you're good enough you're not good enough like it wasn't about judging it's like not for you you were the wrong person when you build a community you want to make sure the person's coming in is going to fit in the I hear it it upsets me the heels of selecta but I do hear it I mean a nonsquare person doesn't want to live in square right right it's the same idea you don't want to live in community you don't want to but you do want to have a certain type of community that has some sort of fit I mean it was just a matter of making sure by the way it is a really nice we did a really nice job we asked people to get 5% down and zero more money until the house is built so we very you Michael very disappoint okay it ended up being because you know you're thepe years later and we're doing okay as neighbors I know you I know you very well and you you're open to anybody you're one of those people that you can get along with literally anyone absolutely and to build a community by saying this person is good enough that person is not that's not how you build a community right that's actually the an the the antithesis of a community I want to point out something I totally disagree he knows a lot of people that is true but I'll tell you something about him because I know him very well at this point he has many equ inces but he has very few friends he's very selective he's friendly to a lot of people he walk around Supermarket we're on the pickleball court this morning can I mention that really great wait a second great game where was my inv obsessed with this game everyone knows Robie Lawrence has actually been my coach in pickle bow he's been my coach in a few things before I went publicly speaking he actually taught me the art of using your hands are you any good when you speak and then in playing pickle ball he thought that he was one of the best tennis players and it can be an ADV advantage to playing pickle ball and being that no one could beat him at tennis he was like hey let me be the pickle ball Master Al I got I got old and two tight for I play tennis still but I enjoy pickle B so I'm playing with K but my point is K gets on the court and there's like two ladies on the court before us and he gets on that and he start musing so he'll I mean they think he's his best friend you I'm saying that's the way he is but those not friends they're acquaintances it's a big difference I don't actually agree with you I think that all of those people become my friends it's just that they're not in my close Circle simply because they don't have that time or we don't have have that ability well if there's two ladies in your close CLE hanging out I actually I actually don't agree with you shopping with I think that anybody that comes into my circle is accessible to me 24/7 and you can consider yourself my friend that's not a real friend though it doesn't I didn't say it's a real friend but to me an acquaintance is somebody you walk by and you give that nod to you know that nod when you see someone but you're not sure who they are but they're not sure who you are and you're both not sure each other you're like how's your summer I have these scho full of people that who get the nod from me and nothing else like the raised eyebrow yeah that that nod so that's an acquaintance anything beyond that to me is a friend and of course there are real close friends who I feel like they're you know K is good at pick aable I'm just letting you know he's got good hand and by the way just so you know there's a great video that's kind of being viral I'm doctors speaking the best way to keep off dementia is any form of Racket sport whether it's pick ball or ret ball or tennis 100% best thing why is that fight of I like a doctor to you actually maybe I do take that back I mean there got to be some little something about since you're coordination perhaps you're like navigating the ball and stuff with a racket it's kind of like works both side of your brain and it's and it um I'd like to learn more about this actually that's very interesting yeah yeah yeah because you can now make this into a medical you know condition say listen I have early signs of dementia I need to play pickle ball more often there always an angle for always an angle my employer can't say know right exactly it's for health Reon I have to go play pickle for health reasons I have to play pickle bow three times a week I have to tell you that four years ago I was in Venice Beach in California and I saw them knocking down basketball courts this is a true story guys and I was like I went to the maintenance guys that were doing all this work I said what are you guys doing and one of the guys said we're putting up something called pickle ball courts and I said Pickle what yeah pickle ball courts I said what's a pickle ball court and I went in and I investigated what is a pickle ball what what's the game all about and I realized that someone started national league for pickle bow and at that time none of the celebrities had teams at that point and I went to my close friends and I said guys maybe we should invest in pickle bow and we should create a team and they laughed at me and three weeks later it was the announcements of all the superstars that had the join Asam ex exactly so it is a fun sport it's fun to it's not so much fun to watch though on television to be honest with you no it's actually terrible to watch CU they're all standing close and just knocking it out it's more fun to play sometimes it's fun to watch a sport versus playing it but this is if anybody's hearing it for the first time go out and learn to play pickle ball with your kids with your spouses with your significant other it's a fun game that everyone can play it's just like driving a Tesla it's great being the driver but not being a passenger is not so good some things you got to actually do in order to enjoy it right they with pick ball they got to play it watching it it's a little bit boring I'm not into Teslas I know you got a Tesla and you're into that oh I love it you know there are materialistic things that I believe that you're into one of them is the Tesla that is true and the other one is I've heard a rumor that you're known as the Rolex rabbi it's a little underground but I do as uh sort as a hobby but I do buy and sell uh high-end watches specifically Rolexes that is true wow tell us about your collection you're like a Rolex broker no no Rolex Rabbi no but he's saying he buys himself he part of my Persona I started a an Instagram Channel as well I have a few of them one of them is actually called Rolex Rabbi so I did use that um but I don't uh that's fantastic I want to hear about your collection though I about my what like what's your what's your books I'm teaching you want Ro that's what you want to hear and you want to hear about his Rolex yes what's your priz possession Rolex that's what I want to know my price well anything I have is purely going to be sold anyway so price that's fine but I do I mean I always love as a kid I love Watchers I always had a thing for Watchers that was my thing tell you I had a thing for watch you and millions of other people you're not the only one I didn't realize that but yeah a big it's a bit of a disease that's definitely spread so I was had a thing and then I was introduced to this particular brand I had a friend was dealing with it and I picked up one which was a Daytona and I just like it what else do we have men specifically I don't wear Jewel you know necklace or Rings or whatever what do we have that kind of like is the close we have to jewelry that we can have that we can enjoy but it's a living thing that someone's made it spend time on it really that's part of it I enjoy the fact that there's like history to it and it's um it's a genius piece of mechanism which like goes itself there's no battery think about that it's automatic it's an amazing thing so we have nothing like that when I see someone walk into a room I noticed their watch first do you know the number like ziv the watch I'm not so good at that I'm not so good at that I mean know some of them I I I don't like people who wear and I'm going to offend some of your viewers Apple watches I just I actually own one but I never wear it I what about Swatch I hav I grew up with Swatch watches and I did wait in line with my son for like three hours to get the moon swatches which is fun you know you go inside that swatches is a great brand doesn't have to be expensive right I I have a thing for watches so swatches was something I was very into actually I went to London recently and I picked up a hope of my parents that had like old ones they used to keep and gave it to my son and if you go to any Swatch store for free they change the battery you can have a Swatch watch from 30 years ago 40 years ago they will change the battery for you and make sure it's working fine okay very cool you know I'm curious are you on any lists around the world where you are scheduled to get the next Rox so how does that bunch of them how does that work I was expecting give us the secrets the secret is like anything in life relationships you build a relationship with people and that's what I did I build relationships one of the best ones actually I did was in the airport airport people will fly into at Heathrow in London in Terminal 2 or B whatever it's called there's a Rolex store and I built a relationship with the people over there I'm on a WhatsApp group with them and in order to get to that store you have to be flying so that because you can't just access it from the street so in that particular store you can get lucky and uh there's people literally fly in pick up their watch and get back on the plane and don't even leave the airport there are many people that do that many people for you know H and watch people like big buyers and sellers so this particular airport I I have a greatship and I picked up a couple of watches from me you know is it weird that I'm utterly bored with a watch conversation and it's no disrespect to the two of you you you go to a room with 10 people I think maybe seven or eight people would be very interested in Watchers and but for the other two people it's so cringeworthy because like I hate Watchers I hate everything about it wearing one yeah like I have my cell phone I need to know the time I look at my phone like that's what a watch means to me and like I don't see the obsession I don't get I don't understand it and I actually have a little bit of animosity to people who have such an obsession with watches because there's got to be more to life there's got to be so many more interesting things we could talk about than Watchers but watching the two of you your eyes light up people get animated when you're talking about very animated about watches it's absurd though like it's it's just a watch say though in business in business I mean I'm not in business you know but in business people tell me they use Sports to make conversations and relationships watches are better you can get into a conversation with someone build a relationship with someone based upon watches really 100 how long can you carry conversations with some watch an opener an opener y like an icebreaker you go you go online on YouTube there are people you just mentioned one of them who literally make their entire living just making watch videos actually people make makeup videos make all living that's irrelevant people are very very into this thing I'm not so into it it's a hobby and a interest and it makes me a little bit of extra money so it keeps me you know afloat um but I do love them interesting all right yeah I know there's a lot of people that are very into this topic and this is like a the same can be said about so many things the reason I think why Watchers work so well is because whatt Lawrence was saying a minute ago is it complement what you're wearing it's a talking piece it's a Time piece and it's a living thing that's on you that's not working on a battery especially there's a lot to be said about a watch I completely disagree with you but I understand where you're coming from people that are already into Watchers it's more of a status thing it's okay we can move on to stat it is that too that's everything statist yeah look at me with my $50,000 watch I'm sorry to say but this is not my swatch is definitely nothing but a just colorful nice it's more than that to you because I know every time you fly you pick up another watch to remember your trip yes but it's not a stat my point it's part of my lifestyle yes a memory I I think that's a little nerdy honestly time it doesn't tell you the time but it reminds you of a good time exactly thank you say that again to the camera I'll say that again to the camera your Swatch doesn't tell you the time but it reminds you of a special time that you had in your life yes I think that watches can do that for you just like other articles of clothing perhaps can do it for you as well you may not resonate with it but I think a lot of people I mean that's why I have a wife reminds me of my wedding that's why the only reason I my wife always asks me like you know when we go to weddings she always without fail turns to me and says oh do you remember our wedding and like no I don't I really don't like my wedding was a blur the whole night were you drunk cuz I I I I was a little bit I'll be honest I was a little bit I wasn't drunk but I I drank that night but that's not why I don't remember it I was just like in a different world I didn't know what was really going on and it just happened so quickly you were also young I wasn't young I wasn't young at all I was I was 27 Oh I was 27 too that's not bad actually that's quite old a perfect age by the way I think that's a perfect age it's not too young I was like more financially stable by the time I got married like I had a job I had a career path already at that point a perfect age for what type of person though you saying for not a regular mainstream I'm talking about a regular guy not talking about somebody for religious well for religious people let's be honest it's more challenged to get married older talk about the men the women will leave aside right because there's you know a clock they're working with but for a man difficult right because religious boys show me the gear right they're careful what they supposed to look at and what they do so for a religious person getting married 20 seven is um little bit later interesting point interesting point I don't know if we're going to get into those details you know it's not none of your business as they however however I totally totally understand what you're saying I get it uh by the way you are like the marriage expert you've written books on this stuff right well I wrote a book I I wrote a few books thanks for mentioning it amazon.com um so the first book I wrote was called J got questions because when I was growing up there's a book called The je book of why I don't know it was like one of the few English books actually written by a conserva do Rabbi um and it was PR pretty good for the most part 90% of it was very good so I approached felt time and I said I want to write a book so what's needed most people say oh I have this topic I write this book I'm like no what's needed in the market so this is going back like 10 years and they said an updated version of that the Jewish book of why short answers like Ed answers to every question in Judaism so I was like well I've been doing this for a long time so you know I'll write the book so I wrote the book didn't take me that long because you know answered this question many times um the editing takes time and then from that book we have you know topics on relationships and astrology you know and all this kind of stuff age of the universe and all the kind of stuff now everyone does them so what happened was from that I found most people interested in the relationship questions so what I did was I said ah let me write another book which um my good friend Ellie bloomstein who the owner of twiller he actually was working with me founded that he's a marketing genius by the way and really the most awesome guy in the world so he is he the guy with the weird no no he's part of the thank you hasem movement oh yeah he actually created that as well by I'll tell you a little secret say I probably shouldn't say it but I happen to know this fact I'm making trouble for saying this you know the thank you Hashem a symbol is a crown with t YH on a Crown do you know you got that from he told me this because I was there when he thought it up there was a rapper called Biggie or Biggy Smalls or something and that was his symbol and he took it from that's pretty awesome is that right yeah Biggy Smalls had a crown on his album yes and he chose and using that Crown to turn that into a beautiful spiritual I hope he doesn't mind me I apologize profusely the guy is a marketing genius and he so he thought up du got questions and then he said you know this book I said he said should be called will you marry me love it which is cool so I mean you could do a lot of uh you know plays on that word you we'll Drew this you drew that I mean it's easy but the third book was a Mach do me a favor do me a favor that's the next book we could go on all day yes so the third book was on mashiah so I went to the publisher and I said so so you up to the third Booker what was the first two again so will marry me first one was you got questions relationship said relationships because that most questions in emails how did you get to Messiah though ah so now I was teaching a course of messia and I was getting a lot of questions that was the next level of Interest like my YouTube videos they actually follow the the top ones are actually Hebrew reading is probably the top one have a few of those but then following that it's Messiah gets the most views mostly from the Christian world right not ironically and then comes the relationship stuff so I can tell for the amount of views on what's the most popular thing so then I wrote this book called mashiah and I set the publisher I want to call it jup apocalypse like an apocalypse like jup apocalypse and they were like you're an idiot so they change it to the Future so that was my third book that the future is kind of a boring title I if we can redo it I think J yeah I like at this point I need once I Mar with my kids I'll have more like you wait to do what the heck a lot more books coming out lot more books coming out so you wrote three books I wrote three books yeah which was your favorite one which was your best one you think one in terms of one in terms of the impact that you wrote not one that you personally like that you think will the one that I happens to be the one that didn't sell the most but the will you marry and the relationship one happens to be the best book in my opinion and the book is the book is about like just Rel dating it goes through it goes from dating I mean now it's common back then it wasn't so common from the dating the idea of love and relationships dating to marri teaches you how to you know actually get married what's involved in it what's because I've done about 150 weddings I've performed over the years wow so I wrote a whole chapter just on what's involved why kba why you know and all that kind of stuff you know and then it finishes off with the first year of marriage and I I started each chapter uh interviewing couples most of whom I actually married asking them what makes a relationship so good so important I spoke to a bunch of single people as well you know so asking them what they're looking for it's actually the the interview at the beginning like the short question what are you looking for in a partner it's actually very interesting that's probably the best part of the whole chapter just getting their information and feed this book what's the common answer there is no common answer everyone's different um what do you like the best which answers did you like the best what are you looking for that reated well has a lot but the ones that resonated with me the most that successful relationships with people that said what I love about my spouse is that they always listen to me just stayed in play I don't know why I mentioned that they listen to me and they respect that was like the um and I think relationship most important thing for sexual marriage and a successful marriage is really people you got to respect your spouse you know interesting you know on the topic of weddings I don't know if you guys feel the same about this I happen to be bored at weddings I feel like it's the same thing over you w b your wedding were you no no my wedding I don't remember remember I don't remember it but I I attend weddings I attended one last week I I find the whole thing to be now that I've attended so many a cliche like a little kind of Bor like it's very procedural you know you do Thea in the beginning then they have the meal then the first dance like I don't know like I attended I don't want to God forbid you know compare a Jewish wedding to a non-jewish wedding but I only went to a non-jewish wedding once in my life I went to a non-jewish wedding not yours just some be clear yes to be very clear it was not mine um and when I went to this this wedding I have to tell you it was quite entertaining it was a party yeah it was a party and everybody was having a good time I feel like at the Jewish weddings it's very serious and I get it it's a holy matrimony and it's a big deal but I think we got to like you know get rid of times a little bit perhaps wish I'm telling you something very important I do weddings I've done many and most people I marry are not religious people because they also want a Jewish wedding with a Jewish ceremony so I've done all different types of Jews but mostly secular Jews I make my weddings that I perform extremely entertaining I make I tell little vignettes little 30C pie why right why are we using one I actually turn it into an educational informative experience I make jokes I did a wedding of a couple he was actually Italian she was actually printed out right from online a whole speech in Italian and I did the whole speech in Italian so his family like whoa very good Senor not Sor right very goodin fantastic you know so I made it very very fun so I actually do weddings like that and I have to agree with you I think you go to religious weddings they huddle the Raab doesn't talk you know what they're saying you barely hit the BR it's not it's not not enjoyable but when I do it's very traditional I can appreciate it I make the bride and groom which I always do except once they wouldn't do it I always make them face the audience you can see their reaction because they want to see theala don't they always face the no not always some have their back towards them sometimes they're surrounded by people who can't see them safam for example face the right what not every single by the they don't face the audience to have their back towards the audience and the rabbis face yakis additionally do not F there you go they F yeah many people yakis are very special breeds very special people so we not going to you know go by what yakis do but in general like regular people you know we Face the crowd that's how by Byer people regular also face the crowd as well I meet the hakala face at an angle and I face the crowd so they see me so the people don't want to see they want to see expression I do have to tell you you know I bet that non-jewish people say the same thing I've been to one wedding what am I going to do go back back to the bar back to dancing the same thing over and over again you're very wrong non-jewish people look forward to weddings I'm sure I've spoken to many friends that are non-jewish and they always when it comes to a wedding it's party time everybody's excited they can't wait for the next one but what they don't have what they don't have in my opinion is the spiritual component of a wedding which you have at Jewish wedding so I think that from now on when you go to a wedding just try to find the spiritual part of it go to the HOA thinking that this is a very special serious moment where you can dove in for someone you can pray for someone you can use that as a moment and I agree with you by the way it's very repetitive these weddings that's why I try to come for certain times I also like to go to the the room of the groom and the bride you know and try to eat from them because sometimes the food takes forever to come out you know so if don't worry you go into the their food oh yeah before them no no no of course no no after them they don't even touch the food I don't know what they do in there but they definitely don't touch the food because my wife was eating in really really you ate the did you have a special meal at your uh in the yeah in your yeah did you have we had food prepared for us I don't think I ate but we I'm just goingon to say when I go to a wedding I enjoy the music oh you're into music I enjoy the spirituality of the I really believe it's it's very meaningful at a time to pray I I enjoy the seeing of the grandparents and the enjoyment that they have I actually pay attention to it so when I go those are the things that I one funny wedding I've done many many weddings I'm lost count at this point but I have all documented at home I did it one of the first weddings I did and uh performing a wedding when I do them it's because I'm doing everything I don't have you know one person helping call out names and stuff I got sheets of paper and when I first started there's a lot going on you got the cup to break you got the Tet because I all this kind of stuff so it was one of the first weddings I ever did of a young guy and got actually met on one of my trips I had a premonition which I've never had before and I've never had since but while she was walking down to Thea I had a premonition that she was going to faint under the it was the weirdest thing so much so that when she arrived under Thea I actually said to are you okay you feeling yeah I feel fine so she's doing the March around and I'm welcoming everyone while she's doing it because I speak during the process there's music playing but I speak I explain she's marching around she's surrounding her husband to goes through and I kind of put out of my mind because if you keep thinking of it you freak out and I'm I was very inexperienced and I didn't know what was going on during the I it was very hot under the I do remember that from behind me while I'm in the middle of like speaking I hear and her mother F under the hoer and I just managed to catch her as she hits the floor this is on video by the way I managed to catch her she hit the floor and I turn to the audience and I'm like is there a doctor here not one doctor at a Jewish wedding can you believe it that's a crime that lawyers yeah accountants plenty not one doctor and then one go puts her hand and says I'm a dental nurse like her teeth are fine she's faed then we get a chair that is surprising no doctors that a surprising what a chance so we bring a chair we sit her down so the husand start getting frustrated he starts slapping her it was like a whole this one video it sounds like a comedy sketch it literally was a comedy sketch and I'm like I don't know to do but you got to keep going The Show Must so I turned around to the girl I said what should I do and she looked at me she was like get on with it Cola in her dress that is funny I finish it off and uh that was it she actually had got drunk the bride's mother got drunk beforehand and oh that's what it was oh that's embarrassing you you didn't happen to have drinks with her beforehand having that coming you know speaking of which I know that you believe very much in dreams and I and I know this is something that you take seriously very seriously I'd like I'd like to ask you about that wow I'm surprised you asked me that I from the questions I get asked probably the most questions I get asked because I'm a lot of WhatsApp groups where they ask questions and stuff and calls and stuff the biggest thing is m in the end of days that's most questions I get from people which we'll discuss soon but people ask me about dreams all the time so much so I'm not kidding you next to my bed on my bedside table I have books that I'm reading at at any given moment and I have an amazing book on dreams which I have next to me like this one is I was recommended by Rabbi tats many years ago he said this is one of the best ones so I actually referred to that and it's helped me like understand dreams a lot more and I put a chapter about dreams in my first book and that gets a a lot of comments well people are very interested in it and I get questions literally every day from people I had a dream that I was flying I had a dream my teeth fell out what does that mean um I dream about my grandmother I personally have a lot of you know such dreams about my my wife never dreams about her her deceased grandparents but uh I have been visited what whatever that means in Dreams by them um animals seeing people um wow yeah it's I don't don't remember my dreams I don't remember no ever you never had a dream that very rarely maybe on occasion I'll remember a dream for a few minutes and only parts of it but for the most part no I don't remember my dreams when you wake up you don't and by the way if I do remember my dream I think nothing of it I move on it was just a dream and I you never had a dream where you've woken up in the morning or she and you're like wow you never had that before in your life very rarely and I don't think I'm alone on this I think most people don't remember their dreams I don't know I mean I I have a I have dreams that I remember not a lot but I have many dreams and then you have questions you have follow-ups on your dream I mean some of them were nerve-wracking like oh my God I can't believe I just dreamt about that some of them are like odd like how was I in Italy and then I was in Brooklyn like you know like not too far because a lot of Italians in Brooklyn that's true but I'm saying there are some uh yeah you have you dreamt about your both your parents have passed on I your mother very well have they visit you in a dream ever not as much as I'd like to have they but it's happened more than once yes but that's just the manifestation of your own subconscious that's not a real thing you know you could be that you're questioning do you believe that your mother or father or somebody you know deceased actually visited you me person yeah you believe that it was actually them I do believe that and they came and sent a message you and they were really talking to you well they never they were a real part of need to speak to you but they appear to me in a dream I get very emotional yeah and now I've heard many stories of many people have had information that's been related to them in dreams especially get ready for this spodic women when a spodic woman calls me up or writes me and says I had a dream about something or someone I listen I take it very seriously really give us an example what do you what do like some girl told me she came to sit with me and my wife and she had a dream that her grandfather had told her something in a dream and she basically investigated way and end up becoming very very true and she was able to relay some information to someone else that I think you could say saved their life based upon what she heard from her grandfather someone else in her family that she' never spoken to for a long time this is common you'll be surprised how many you look common the amount of questions I get must be I read this in story books I read this I there's a there's a gamar the gamar speaks about it there's a I believe in the power of dreams I definitely do believe I don't believe today it means as much as it used to or uh would you say meaning it's hard to relate to what it means I don't believe that we have people that can have the power to translate a dream like they used to I um I had a dream so the gamar speaks by if you dream about having a a sing a snake in your dream you would have thought it's a bad sign it's a very good sign and you're going to make money if you dream that the snake bites you now that is even better it means you're going to make a lot of money but if you dream that you kill the snake in your dream that's already bad it means you're lose your money it's a whole gamar on this in in in so I have many people ask these questions I actually dreamt that I killed the snake in my dream I so many people don't kill the snake whatever you do don't kill the snake in your dream and I dream that I kill the snake and soon after I actually lost a lot of money it's actually Terri wow and it was the money loss was out of my control like totally out of my control it was a company that something had happened to it which happened to invest a little bit of in look I can't prove it to you but I do know that many people take it very seriously and ask me a lot of questions about stuff they see their dreams animals my great uncle was writing a book with his uh dad and his dad passed away and they couldn't finish the book and he was praying all year for to to get the answer to the finish up the book and sure enough his father came to him in a dream and he finished the book in through the dream and every everything was recorded and then it was brought to some very very significant High holy rabbis in Israel who confirmed that what he had given over was accurate wow and it was very interesting documented and I'm sure a lot of these dreams are documented yesi we believe in the power of dreams now not all dreams some dreams are just your mind kind of process you saw during the day like I dream about something but that day I saw a movie and that thing was in it then I take it then it's almost right paging RAB hedof and Michael back to Earth um the two of you and now that we're sitting here by the way this is real what's happening right now this is ask how do you know this is real second I had a dream last night and I was convinced that was real so how can you tell me that this is real maybe this is a dream too maybe all of life maybe that's why God created dreams so that we could turn around and be like well how do we know this is real have you ever watched the movie called Inception I have seen the movie you have seen the movie AB okay it's a totally about this by the way that's exactly what it's about is you know what is real like if dreams aren't real you know while you're having the dream you convinced that's real so how do you know this is real and then you could go from one dream into the next dream and into the next dream and it's endless right so you never really know look you're right I don't know what's really real what's not real but I'm going to choose to I got to believe something is real I got to believe in something this to me is real the rest of the stuff which I want to talk about you know the main topic of the day which is Messiah I don't want to say that I don't believe in mashiach because I'd be a pretty bad person and a bad Jew if I said that and I'm on an ear so I don't want everybody to hear that and take oh she doesn't believe in mashiach I want to talk about the regular person the average person um the person who's flawed and needs to you know improve on themselves and needs to always strive to believe more and to believe better because I want to believe I deeply deeply want to believe I think uh everything would be better if I can believe more but I have a struggle not necessarily to believe but to understand and to comprehend what this whole topic of mssiah really means because in my mind I think okay my small mind I think that it could be very metaphoric in a way that there's an end that's coming and we labeled it as Messiah and the end could be different for a lot of people doesn't have to be the same thing but I really also don't think everybody knows I think that everybody has a lot of opinions on this if you ask one person and the next person you get two different stories and everybody and real people important people very you know important rabbis that you know they give their version and somebody else goes their version but I would say that the average person you would pull truly deep down doesn't understand what's going on with Mah it's a fascinating topic I would love to believe in it because how do you live a life without actually believing in an end I me how do you the path is so much more difficult if you don't know where you're Landing right right so I would love to believe it would make me no more happier to believe in Messiah than anything else so for me I'd love to hear more about this you we we were part by the way our company was part sponsor in a movie a documentary that barl Solomon just came which I did not want to be a part of okay that's fine remember we did it though I know I know but I I walked away because I to me this doesn't resonate with me this topic I'm sorry to admit this I'm a little bit thises but I believe in that I believe deep down to this concept but I don't understand it and I don't and I think other people who pretend like they understand it I think they're just giving themselves something that makes them feel better it's fine well my point was to watch the documentary read the books the future and others and study it meaning this topic is a very excited we went we went we went together because I was actually in the movie you went you in the movie in the movie yeah he was in the he was he was one of the people that was asked the question what is Michelle long spoke to the guy for an hour and a half he put like two and a half minutes in see next to each other the movie I'd love to hear how you will address what is saying I just want to say before you say anything that you know the Messiah concept is spoken about daily by the group called kabad right so they made famous they they glorified this whole sure they glorified and maybe maybe watered down a little bit I was about to say but it could be also they tainted it for others in a way that don't understand it because if you walk if you drive down the Westside Highway and you see a sign that says msia is here and you look around what he's not actually here so you're like what's this whole mashiah thing and I get where your struggle coming from but I do want to say that the struggle is real it's very I I actually applaud the fact that you're talking about it and you're questioning it because I do want to tell you that ultimately it is a belief system that we have but the belief goes back to writings and teachings that we have for thousands of years and I'll kick it off to my uh I say this but let's just crunch it down first of all you're saying I'm going to validate it you're right I grew up going to very AAS they don't talk about this stuff they don't make it part of the limit thing they'll finish Torah and right we'll have you know B like you know that was the end of it you know we children we're not so interested um leaving aside kabad kabad introduced it because laab REI sort it was missing so he made it one of the fundamental um influences we need to put into our lives I actually use the every shop it's a beautiful one actually um and you have to plug that more I'm sorry that is my favorite Kish and it helps me get every single shot there is a brown well-known and now they have a version in blue and it's written by kabad and they take the story of thees of the Torah and they write it and they have in bold the words that are being told in the Torah but not in bold they have the story line right they interpolate which means while you're reading the English it's not just English translation it's also a description explanation what say a lot more read every chabas when when I'm listening to the Torah instead of listening it and reading it the Hebrew words I'm following along with either a brown or a blue Kish given and created by kabad kudos to them and I really really believe everyone should have a so leaving that aside for just a second there is an idea which is Central to Judaism but is a belief it's a belief because hasn't happened yet okay although those who follow my staff will know that we are seeing very clear signs without a shadow of a doubt that we're in the cusp right we're in the transition phage phase from before mhia to after mhia but they not just Jews right the goam the Christians and even the Muslims are very into this topic actually if you want to understand what's happening in the Middle East today you need to understand Iran CU they're funding all their proxies Hamas hisbah and the houis in order to attack us and they are actually an islamist Jihadi Messianic death cult so they also I know it sounds crazy but they are also into this topic obviously they're getting it wrong so what's the Jewish view so there's two ways to just download this topic very quickly into your brain and that is the view of the rambam and those who follow him and that's more rationalistic which is there's to be a time when the Jewish people are going to be able to return to the land of Israel and this is from the prophets there's a lot written on Messiah there's very little written on Resurrection of the dead that's another topic which is going to follow Messiah but Mah there's a lot written on it there's tons written on it right you have prophets you have garas right everyone writes about so the ram basically says the world's going to carry on as is and the Jewish people going to return to Israel which we've been seeing for the past 50 60 years and even more and we're going to be living safely in all land with no more war which is tough to see but right right now and we're going to be at peace and royalty is going to return mhia is a king actually Messiah doesn't mean savior ask most Jewish people even religious one what does messiah mean he's a savior it's not what he is mhia means to anoint which is to pour something on something else to make it special the prophet would do he would take oil olive oil put it into a horn and he would pour it into the shap of a crown on the head of the Future King it's like sh Samuel did to DAV and that made him into king that's what it means the anointed one the special the word mhia doesn't even refer specifically to mhia as we understand it right there called Mah there's a mhia right so there's many different job it means a position of great leadership so we're going to have a great leader by the way you already kind of made me feel a little bit better like I'm you know you trying to download into my brain just by that just by that alone I'm 1% feeling better because going I thought really means that's really what I thought I thought mashiach is like a savior who's going to come and he magic wand and he going to change the whole world and everything's going to be upended and you're saying no no things are going to be regular and it's going to be an anointed king it's going to be someone who's going to come and it's going to be a leader correct more realistic he's more realistic it's sounding much more down to earth and by the way the ramam describes it that way and I'm pleased you're being very honest which I I appreciate most people have this idea but the idea we have of Messiah unfortunately comes from Christianity right there's some super being who's like God or in their case is God okay not at all he's going be a normal man Flesh and Blood challenges he's going to be selected as the king of the Jewish people we're going to return to Israel and the third and final Temple is going to be built on harabas on Temple mount in J and the Jewish people are going to return and we're all going to live there it's going to take a long time for that all of us every Jew is going to move back to there is even a some say no some say it will take a long time and just think about taking I mean by the way we have half the Jewish people Liv in Israel right now we're just under the halfway mark L is ready bangur is not big enough there's going to be some expansion but uh we're ready we're ready it's a process it takes time I know we're told as soon as you wake up and B and everything's GNA be great it's not true you see but that's what they did they really dumbed it down to a point of it's like a fairy tale they put it into a little children's story book and that's the version they gave us and that's what we have to believe and no I choose not to believe in that because now I'm older and it sounds like a fairy tale but you're now actually taking it down to a you know really explaining it and the first thing you said I'm already liking it so I'd like to hear more Okay so we've seen more for the past 70 years and more from the first alot and then early 1900s first and second alot all the way when Zionism was founded and we're seeing this movement of Jewish people living in the land of Israel right in order to come close to God and to have a better life over there Rashi tells us based upon the words of DAV that when you see is packed with Jews B right when you see is built up the Jewish people are going to return When you see is so full like Ben a of shabas right and you walk you can barely make your way through the G is at hand there is an idea the Jewish people this is an ancient idea I'm not making it up Jewish people are going to return to the land of Israel and we're going to live safely in the land amen that's that's basically the idea sounds wonderful by the way sounds amazing okay the idea of I mean just think there's a lot of concept quen this imagine that there's no more war in the world which is one of the basic premises of Isaiah the prophet and others that write about this no more war think about all the money that is spent on Weaponry wait a second so mhia comes this isn't the perfect world they come and they're now the leader is here and all the Jews have congregated in the land of Israel what happens to the rest of the world where are the rest of the Nations question what what are they doing right now so they what most people think is everyone becomes Jewish but it can't be because someone's got to buy retail right so we can't have that we can't you know that but the world carries on as is but everyone this is a big difference and just imagine this just try to download this one piece the entire world believes in the one true God of Israel they don't become Jewish they're fine as they are they need to become Jewish now they don't need to become Jewish now they're fine as they are unlike Christianity in Islam that you need to accept Jesus right or Muhammad as your prophet in order to you know go to alah get to heaven according to Judaism you're fine as you are you don't need to and so they'll be living around the world carrying on but they'll be living with a much higher level of God Consciousness whatever that means so you know this to me sounds a little bit strange one second if I'm not a Jew and I'm living in Arizona and Messiah is here and I'm hearing all about this amazing story of this this Judaism is the real religion look I mean look at all the miraculous things that are happening by are anything miraculous happening okay so because if I was Arizona and I'm a non-jew I'm like oh my God I want to be a part of this out I'm missing out I'm in the wrong I'm in the wrong religion here here like why would they just sit idly by around just watching all this happen being content okay that's a great question Isaiah the prophet goes far as to say they're going to stream to Israel to see this great King right because they're going to be I mean right now they're obsessed with Israel and the Jews look at Russia and Ukraine right now no one's talking about that it's all about Jews and you know we accidentally kill a couple of civilians and we become like the top news so we have been the epicenter of information and news for hundreds if not thousands of years so us being the epicenter shouldn't surprise you too much but they're fine and they will come to visit as they it's going to happen more and more and more but they're going to carry on their lives and there'll be no more religions no more Islam Christianity or even Judaism as we know it is going to change and it's going to be better that is the basic principle of Jewish faith the rum bom this is very broad what you just said to me this is you were you were almost evading my question okay because and maybe there isn't an answer to this but it sounds to me like there isn't going to be a day at least you're not telling me this where it's going to be clear as day to the world that the Jews and and the god were the Jews were the chosen people and they were the one true religion yeah and there isn't going to be that day there is 100% it's going to be that day there is going to be that day 100% so if that's if that's going to happen that's a that's a process it's a process it's like a go to college are you telling me it's going to be a day when I finally graduate my certificate yeah but there's a process to get to that point ah so Messiah is not the end of it all mhia is a process in divulging that je correct and that's take time that process actually began a while ago okay when we can discuss do you think we're already somewhat not even times of right now everyone feels it everyone feels not just Jews the whole world feels that a big change is going to come to the world they're feeling it okay then I was misled my whole life as I'm sure a lot of people and I'm very upset I'm very mad because I went my whole life thinking that there's going to be this grandious aha moment is going to be like the magic trick is being revealed right the door opens and it's like I'm here and it's all that's what I was told yeah that's what I was taught that's what I thought it was what you're saying is no no no it's totally not that and I was lied to by the way I was lied to because this is what they teach us they do teach us a little bit about mashia and this is what they tell us what's going to happen one day a mashia is going to show up and the whole world is going to go poof and everything's going to change and it's all going to be amazing not true it's a process it's going to take time but this realization will come to them and it's going to at different stages I mean we live in a world right now where I can share information that spreads throughout the entire world in one moment that's amazing thing so the information will be shared used to take a long time to get to the newspapers and information and letters but now it's going to happen very very quickly but even so it's going to take time for that to happen now I want to add another layer to this there's a lot more to say add another layer that one of mhi's jobs that people don't really want to talk about is he's a military leader Kings to be honest and we think it was great rabbis well they actually were were political leaders the real spiritual leaders were the kohanim and the Nim well the the Nim the prophets were more of the Visionary that's why most most of the battles in the Bible and tanak are between the Kings and the prophets right the malim and theim why because the king is the political leader we need to overtake that country right now we need to defend our we have the solders we need to do that and the prophet comes along and say no no because if you do that this is going to happen in the future they're the Visionary that's why so many prophets were killed by Jewish Kings so the job of a king is a political leader so one of the jobs he's going to have to do in the r mentions this in the laws of Kings which makes sense that's the place talk about mashiah you're going talk about MH anyway where it's the laws of Kings kingship royalties is going to return to the Jewish people is to prove that he is Messiah as well as his job as Messiah is to fight the wars of God we're going to have wars that going to take place in and around Jerusalem in Israel now we have not had that for thousands of years with a government in Israel which the prophets speak about so that's happening now as well and there's going to be a final battle which I'm sure you've heard of before called Gog and Magog which has become extremely popular talking about my videos that get the most views Gog and Magog is a final battle and Messiah is somehow going to be we don't know how he's going to be involved in that final battle to remove the world of evil evil is going to disappear uh look this is amazing and it it it sounds great it really does and I I really hope that this is what is going to be but it's you're throwing a lot at me right now like this is really hard to process you know all at once and like a part of me is thinking all right so I guess BB not yahu is the King right now like are you telling me that right now it's actually transacting where we're actively in middle of msia and the wars are taking place is all a part of this plan like I thought mhia has to be unanimous like everybody's going to know ever met it sounds like it's going to be have you met all the people or you agree on something immediately I me even your show open the win close the win AC on AC off on 68 or 72 there's nothing in the Jewish World right which becomes clear straight away it's a process and that's okay does to be overnight I know we want immediate answers to everything but it doesn't going to work it doesn't have people ask you a lot about mashiah I'm curious before we go into closing here um I'm just curious does anybody actually claim to be mashiah I would say at this point of my career I I think I am I can't prove this to you um the person who gets most people who contact them to say that they think they're Messiah it is it every single day every day whether on my social media channels or Whatsapp I got a call I was in the shower I got a call if I get a call from someone from North Carolina they call me every day they try to contact me people think the mhia is called Messianic complex it's part of delusions of is that a real derangement real delusions of grand is a real um how do you know they're not what do they tell you that they say that they think what makes them what reasons do they give you I've only had a conversation really with one of them I usually ignore them at this point I actually got a call many years ago when I used to leave my cell phone on at night time so I'm get a call and it was middle of the night and he said with a very Indian accent which I can actually do because I'm from England let's hear it he goes hello I am calling you from Delhi and you're the Raab who give videos before the book came out do you RAB you that's not bad by the way thank you so much well I grew Upland I have Indian family my my uh uncles and aunts actually lived in India in Bombay for many years wow my grandfather's sister was on the national hockey team of India it's the true India has a hockey team no no not ice hockey field hockey oh that's very very cool yeah field hockey I'm surprised they even play field hockey as oh massive yeah in India in India in India I'm saying it I got a call and this guy don't they play cricket over there is that very big very and in England I grew up playing Cricket anyway so this guy calls me up and he goes I'm here with mhia and I was like 3 in the morning I was like midle and because I'm like had to like what is going is this really happy is this a dream right so is it a dream so I'm like is this really so like what Mak you think he's Messiah goes well he's so charismatic and he's fulfilling all the prophecies and d d d so I said is he Jewish I'm like he's not Messiah click that's the end of it first qualification is you got to be Jewish you've got to know the Torah you got to do all the mitv says the rambam like just like King David your an you have to prove you are direct descendant of King David right benar which itself is a big deal to do that you're going to have prophecy prophecy is going to return to the Jewish people I know we're no longer a prophet organization but she prophec is going to return to the Jewish people that's very clear and all the prophets speak about that so we're going to see it so I get a lot of these people all the time now I do not engage with them but I will say to may sound a little in I've never said this before I had a conversation with one of them many years ago and I want to get to know them and they're not completely C right I mean they think they're Mia but I said to him you know what makes you think you are and he gave me some explanation everyone's got their own answer but he said to me something very profound and he said you know I want to make the world a better place and I feel I can be part of that that's really the core of all of these people who think they're Messiah and there are thousands and thousands of them out there even people watching right now some of them even Jewish they want to they want they feel as the world is not right which is true they feel the world can be a better place which is true as well and they feel as though they can be a catalyst to make the world a better place which in some sense we all have a little bit of Miss yeah well do what Michael Jackson says you know look in the mirror and start look with yourself if you want to make the world a better place you know so they're not mashiah because they want to make the world a better place obviously that's not enough of a qualification I will say in closing guys that you know each one of us can help make this world a better place you can start by looking in the mirror but you can also start by asking questions the fact that you have questions that you don't even realize is something that's can be very profound ask the question do a lot of listening that we've learned today and Rob Lawrence this was fantastic we can go on for hours yeah and by the way I I have a million things say I feel like everybody has you off he has his moment finally he got invited onto the podcast you are cutting my own next door neighbor who chose and selected me to live next to him finally a podcast we learn we learned a lot from this episode somewhere to go is there like a an event that's sta statistics show that people run out of patience when it gets to over an hour and explain to my Lex freedman's podcast of her three hours then when I'm at Lex fredman you know we'll go on for eight hours believe me um but yeah that's uh that's a that's a true story people don't have patience to listen to people for over an hour so when I look at because we all have ADD yeah and he tells me we're over an hour I try to wrap it up can I can I tell you my joke my ad joke yes please let's end with your ad joke I really end with a joke by the way go for it I'll do it anyway so add stands for attention deficit disorder what's ADHD attention deficit hey Donuts what is the H for by the way I think hyperactive I think hyperactive well hey he all yeah thank he thank you Rie Lawrence for being here we really appreciate it we guys a real pleasure this is by the way you two are uh like a dysfunctional married couple I love I'll take what I can get by the way dysfunctional and married couple those two things are kind of synonymous yes they work together well the whole purpose of it Kim's wife pessy and my wife were very good friends and believe me dysfunction is the lasting theim and his represent pessy they're very functional yeah say that due to a dysfunctional but it's boring otherwise it's boring who wants to be boring I'm against being boring I like to be uh you know fresh and fun and keep things really you know entertaining because let's face it we all I I started with this and I want to finish with this we all need a little bit more humor in our lives yeah we have enough garbage going on we have enough traumatic things happening tragedies all around us and if you just let that become the storyline then it's just you're going to become more and more miserable like you need to just lighten up you need to you know have guests like this who have something nice to say and you know by the way I I respect that you took on this Mission and that you're like running with it and that you're going all the way and another thing people should have their own like Hobbies people should have their own passions that they're into whether it's work whether it's sports watches or watches yes yes as dull as that may be but certainly certainly uh I I think this msah thing is is amazing and I think schools should teach a little bit more about this this way this way Guys Like Me by the time we're hitting our 40s you know not like so like you know over overdone with this whole topic and like it is what it is and I'm just like I don't want to talk about it or we don't feel like if our feet aren't together during Shan asay we're not going to hell right right or if I look under the the Talis by when the Kohan oh my God your eyes are going to burn out and I'm gonna get blind like by the way whatever rebi taught the children the first Reby that came up with this and said let me tell by the way he's not a good guy he's not a good guy that rebi by the way he's just a fear-mongering person that's all he did we are a result I went to a very and I was saic which back then wasn't cool now it's cool to be sa oh sa right made it cool to be safic but before I grew up you're like a second class citizen but we were all basically students of people who came out of the Holocaust right I know your family was my wife's family and these re B basically they were trying to rebuild something they didn't know what they were doing they felt the only way to do it was to I mean literally Hammer home I came from a school where there was corporate they used to hit us it's just nowadays we would never have such a thing so we are basically result of a post Holocaust generation that's I mean a whole discussion of itself of what happened in the Jewish educational system I don't think it was always like this I don't think it was always like fire and brimstone and if you die I grew up the same thing I used get a PCH for you know for I once I remember this so clearly I was hot while I was ding in the amida whatever it was what I was like I must I was in primary school so I was 10 years old I started take my sweater off and the Reit gave me a smack and said taking sweat of and fun of Hashem you know and I'll be honest with you that guy gave you the wrong image of hasem he gave you the wrong idea of but at a long time it ruined D for me I'll honest with you but that was a great thing let's fix it though let's fix it it's not too late let's fix it a new gener I think I believe we are on the side of fixing it I want to have I I try this very hard with my children love give them love and everything else will fall into place because when you have a more confident person and when they feel better about themselves they can conquer the world they can do anything but somebody who's mired in bitterness and some somebody who's just afraid all the time and is ashamed yeah and who has guil those people are not successful notoriously I'll tell as much as I love i' love to debate you and argue with you ASI but you are on the money today yeah 100% love for children everything else is a mood point my father-in-law always says yeah you want a good number to call call 1-800 love that's the number you call one 100 love because love is the end all be all and it conquers everything it really does did anyone ever tell him that love is just four numbers somebody should memo to Robie Lawrence we do have a tradition here at the none of your business podcast before ending and uh first of all I want to
