who were helpful in all this and I want to give a special shout out to GE or Minh and big productions for pulling this thing off the videos that you see tonight are from ghee and his entire team thank you for being on hand for that one few years ago a few years ago we embarked on a project what we call the body and soul retreat the body and soul retreats idea was brilliant we sit here together 1,100 and tonight probably close to the 1,300 people and we teach ourselves and we inspire ourselves how can we involve non from Jews and as you saw from the video if Ryan Berger is attempting to invite people to H body and soul retreat that retreat involves forum people bringing and inviting non from people to join us for a convention in a hotel but we were looking for a draw for the non front person how can we figure out a get more non for people to want to join us for this weekend and so Isaac Gross came up with the idea that we should partner together with the worldwide Shabbos project as you all know annually around parshas no Alcala Flocka sometime this year it's around mid-november there's a worldwide Chavez project in which people celebrate Shabbat together all over the world and he thought that if we would use this opportunity to get non from people to know about the Shabbos project and invite them together for such a weekend that would work in fact he was absolutely right this past October on the Shabbos project there were 700 people which is roughly 350 from and 350 non from people came together for a beautiful Shabbos of unity it was spectacular many of you were there I was walking down the hallways on Friday of that weekend and I met a fellow who was wearing a long frock a long black coat he looked a little bit out of place I asked him what brings you here he says well I said wait a minute I remember you I recognize you when we invite her of North Isaac all bound from Queens to come to the project inspired convention you came along with him you're his son he said that's right so what brings you here he says well at that convention my wife signed up to learn with a partner and here she is to me that made the entire Shabbos worthwhile because it showed me that not only are we pairing people together but we're giving them opportunities to allow these people to grow in a friendly warm Jewish environment ladies and gentlemen the generosity of the grouse family goes way beyond that but they are again sponsoring this coming body and soul retreat November 15th through the 17th and we hope to grow it and be closer to 900 plus people even this year and to keep growing it to keep heavy people in the room just like you bring more and more non from people into the fold ladies and gentlemen I introduced to you the body and soul Shabbos project retreat 2018 [Applause] [Music] this is a J inspire body in Seoul weekend which has brought together Jewish people from all different backgrounds it's good for a person who's reform conservative or Orthodox being more connected to each other being more connected to our history being more connected to our Jewish [Applause] it was my first experience celebrating Shabbat on this learning process it has a huge impact on my life you have really every type of Jew whether you have your stri Milles your black hats your knit caps your black keepo but we're all Jews I think the goal is really to is to meet people to to foster relationships and to see if we can all help each other it's not just about the sharpest that we had but this is just the beginning we're a family we're in it together and we're learning and growing and sharing [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for such a short amount of time to gain so much is really valuable thank you it is awesome incredible I really loved everything I would come back in a second it's gonna change your life question [Music] [Applause] we look forward to joining you and to have you join us at this year's body and soul Shabbos prior to retreat last you saw November 15th registration is already open on your way out there are flyers you can sign up once again you can't just register for this convention you need to bring someone so start thinking for the rest of the session before you sign up outside at the project inspire convention you meet many extraordinary people you saw throughout the Shabbos you saw the videos of previous conventions we've met many many inspiring people our next presenter is not an exception Justice Richard Bernstein is a Supreme Court judge who advocates on behalf of disabled people he is an avid runner who completed 22 marathons including 13 New York City marathons he is also a frequent visitor of the Asia tour world center and essentials classes which he himself has deemed life-changing he made the trip special to join us for Shabbos from Detroit Michigan to be here with us and to inspire us ladies and gentlemen it's an honor to introduce to you the Honorable Justice Richard Bernstein [Applause] a writer once penned that during times of tragedy the streets of heaven are filled with angels we asked ourselves what kind of a God are you you take from us the kind the warm the good-natured the innocent what kind of a God are you yes the streets of heaven are filled with angels I got a call one morning of a wonderful young mom she said Richard I'm reaching out to you because I know you care about people with special needs and those who are disabled help me to understand how I can follow all the rules I can do all those asks and yet God would give me a child with severe special needs tell me what kind of a life is my newborn gonna have is he gonna have friends is he gonna go to school why ever become a grandparent what will happen when I'm no longer here to care for him I go to my friends homes and they're filled with life and energy and vitality what kind of a home am I gonna have when do you think my family will ever have an ordinary life and when do you think we will reach a point we will no longer have to suffer it was immediately after my election to Michigan's highest court that remember having a conversation with some other judges about what qualities must a person have to be a jurist when making decisions that affect people's entire lives their freedom their education their environment what qualities must a person have to render such a verdict and people said oh it's your academics it's your intellectualism it's your ability to research and to write and I remember saying none of those things allow for you to make such decisions when asked what is the quality that matters the most I responded by saying it is our life experiences life isn't always about being happy it's not always about smiling it's not always about finding joy Hashem gives us our life experiences for a purpose for a mission and for a reason he asks us to use the experiences that he gives to have an impact to create change so I remember telling this wonderful young mom there will be nothing about your life in your family's life and your child's life that will ever be ordinary again for you simply have to believe that you were sent here to be extraordinary and I don't believe that Shem would ever create any spirit or any soul with the idea that they are sent here to suffer but there are some who do have to struggle and it's through that struggle you come to find identity it is through that struggle you come to find mission it is through that struggle you come to find purpose it is through that struggle that you come to know understand and truly appreciate him we ask ourselves [Applause] the eternal question which goes back to the book of Job which is why is it that if Hashem is so good he allows for such suffering why is it that bad things happen to otherwise such good people an easy life does not always correspond to a good one so often we will face setback struggle pain and hardship and people will come to us and they will say I hope that you make a full recovery but in life for many of us that's simply not possible the loss is too great the setback is too grand the pain is too much when we reach those points we can't focus and always recovering the key is to adapt each teaches us how to adapt to a new life to a new world to a new experience now I have been blessed as you've heard to have the opportunity to complete twenty two marathons and a full Ironman competition for those of you who are unfamiliar [Applause] the Iron Man is a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike to be completed by a 26.2 mile run the rules of the competition are quite simple if you stop if you rest if you take a break you run the risk of missing a cutoff if a cutoff is missed you'll be immediately disqualified from the competition if you finish at 1205 instead of 12 o'clock it was like you were never even there so I invite you to picture if you would the feeling you would have as you dive into a frigid body of water the water temperature that morning was 55 degrees imagine swimming in total darkness having no idea where you started or where you're going or where you are getting kicked in the face by all the other competitors and having others become entangled and ensnared in the rope that connects you to your guide as you become entangled the Rope becomes constrictive and as it constricts it starts taking you below the surface you try to get oxygen you try to get air but it becomes impossible age teaches us that at moments like this you come to find that the body is mortal and the body is infirmed but you also come to realize that the spirit and the soul can rise and reach levels that you never dreamed or ever thought was possible [Applause] we also come to find that life can change at an instant it can change without notice and without warning it was a beautiful day in New York Central Park I was walking in the pedestrian lane that serves as a circumference August 13th 85 degrees and sunny I had done 17 marathons and an Ironman I was in prime condition I've used athletics to challenge my blindness to find my strength to find my resilience to allow for me to have a sense of identity as I walked a bicyclist was traveling at a speed of an excess of 35 miles an hour and dude it's a high rate of speed he could no longer maintain his bike and in doing so veered into the pedestrian lane where I was walking and struck me directly in the back now a 35 mile an hour impact is catastrophic it required over ten weeks of hospitalization at Mount Sinai Hospital life is never about the big things it is always about the little you remember how it felt to have the chance to not be able to use the bathroom or take a shower you remember missing what it was like to sleep the night without having to arrive an indescribable level of pain people would come to visit and I would ask them so tell me where are you going to go when you leave Mount Sinai and they tell me in a mundane rudimentary fashion that oh I'm gonna go back to the office or have some dinner pick up my dry cleaning and always say those are the things that I crave those are the things I dream about those are the things that go to life at its essence and life at its core it is never the big things it is always the little things that make us who we are I ask each and every one of you here today to celebrate every victory every achievement endure how small or insignificant you might think it is I ask you to find joy in it in my situation I celebrated the fact that I could sit up in bed I celebrated the fact that I could use a walker and I celebrated the fact that I could reach the nurse's station at the end of my ward now in the last many moments that I have with you here today I share with you one last story it was a short time ago and it was time for the New York City Marathon this would be my eighteenth marathon but the first after a Khattak tropic injury running for the streets of New York with a shattered hip and crushed pelvis was going to be quite difficult but in life there are certain things that just have to be done we ran to the streets and approached the 59 three bridge at Mile 18 began running up First Avenue the pain was becoming so severe and so intense I remember reaching up to the heavens and praying to his Shem if he would allow for me to finish this race without losing consciousness without passing out I believe it's okay to be angry with Hashem it's okay to be sad it's okay to be disappointed it's okay to express your discontent it's okay to have these emotions because they're human and they make us who we are it's more than appropriate when you come to find at certain points where the pain is so intense that's when your miracle will happen for that's when you will find a sense of peace peace with your new life peace with your new body peace with your new circumstance but most importantly you're able to make your peace with Hashem why is it that bad things happen to otherwise such good people and why is it that there are some who have to know a greater struggle or greater hardship than others H teaches us I believe the answer goes something like this at a certain point in life you can't spend your time and your energy and your effort focusing on how you're going to get over it for you come to realize that there is simply no other alternative but to just get on with it so we learn through our studies and we learn through our spirituality it's those who know struggle hardship and pain who will do what is hard and achieve no less than what is great we must live our lives like a great story within any novel there will always be chapters chapters of pain setback frustration and loss it's only through those chapters you can come to find hope joy and triumph for the angel came upon Jacob deep into the night and there existed a tremendous battle that raged until the Sun rose at that time as the story goes that we all know so well the angel blessed Jacob but gave him a new name the name of Israel which as we know means one who struggles with God but Jacob was wounded after the battle he lived his life with a shattered hip and would walk with tremendous pain it is only through that struggle and through that pain and through that hardship that he was able to relate connect understand and empathize was only through his experiences that he could lead a people and be the founder of a nation if I hadn't had the experiences I have been able to have I wouldn't be as good a justice I wouldn't be as kind I wouldn't be as merciful I wouldn't be as understanding our life experiences are given to us for a reason let us celebrate the lives that we have for the good and for the bad but let us use the experiences that we are blessed with in the way that Hashem intended for them to be used and a celebrate life for who we are the way that we're created and what we are sent here to do but most importantly let us celebrate the idea that yes our bodies are mortal and for some of us they are infirmed but it is our spirits and it is our souls that truly know no balance and with that let us say [Applause] you know thank you judge Bernstein for coming all the way to inspire us here this past Tish above I had the great honor and privilege to work on a project that was truly life-changing for me together with Danielle Haas I would we set out to try and get a glimpse into the extraordinary life of an extraordinary man Ramesh Schuster's that's all after the film was complete and I returned after the summer I went to invite Roberta Nestor Schuster to the project inspire convention she had not been to America in a long time and she asked me what date is it of course I took out my phone I checked in my calendar and I told her it's February 22nd through the 24th she says when does that fall out in Hebrew that took a different telephone and I told her in fact it fell out your Zion other olive her face went white that is romão stirrers yard site today as we stand here I can tell you that tens of thousands have watched the man at the wall hundreds of thousands have been inspired by the life of a major sister but we learned a lot more from that film Rebbetzin Shuster we learned what it means to love another Jew we learned about what it means to go beyond your comfort zone we learnt about what it means to take responsibility for Claudia's role and we learned what it means to be Hashem shaiiaja but on top of everything we learned that this was not just a job of romão ster but in fact the job of every single from Jew and so tonight we've compiled a short tribute film on the yard site on the 50-yard site of our mayor Shuster hotel I present to you a tribute that gives us all the lesson teaches us all the lesson that we have the ability to change the face of Cairo if I have to think about how many great people I met in my lifetime he was one of the greatest people that I knew his accomplishments were unbelievable he could talk he was shy mayor Schuster is gonna go up to complete strangers and and then talk to me to going it T shivers really I would say possibly he he was so naturally an introvert I remember that when I saw the hotel was approached by a tall man who asked me the question are you Jewish and which would be interested in having a Shabbos meal with a religious family with an orthodox family and I guess the rest is history he was not charismatic but something in his eyes the so sincere like sparkly like family that he trusted [Music] he was on a mission he was driven to relight the flame of every neshama that was in jeopardy or hustling could be lost he was gonna spread as much torrent life to the world as possible and he knew that this was his mission and he certainly believed that was ours as well it was no ego there was no shield between him and the people it was just him saying this is what I want you to do this is what you need to do your sister didn't see the people he saw the Shabbos it didn't matter what kind of the hay was it didn't matter how many earrings they had didn't matter what they looked like he wanted them to give him opportunity to grow he didn't see where they were coming from you know where they could go was in a one word real he was authentic he sincerely really cared and loved every single Jew and that came through in the few words that he spoke [Music] he was driven by love of God and love of Torah and love of obvious Forel and if you care about people you just want to go out there and share it and that's what he was doing it wasn't about the numbers it was really it was there was something greater than himself and he was he was just Hashem Julia I once asked ramesh as to how many people did you approach how many people do you think you sent to the achievers and he was very hesitant to answer me that he said I don't know I said you have to have some type of idea but if you haven't numbers ISM more than 5000 one-on-one I don't think anybody had a bigger effect my wife Robin and I have eight children of whom five were married those five married children have resulted in at this point to Blair and her thirteen grandchildren was really the dedication and the warmth and the mysterious nefesh of my sister we went to visit the sisters and we bought all the kids said these are your grandchildren you know it's all ripples effect from one tap when my first child was born my sister made a knitted of sweater for him which we still have with all of my kids wore and which is a prized possession [Music] he taught us that you just have to care and if you don't care enough then that's something that we have to work on and that we can use him as an example eating when I just look at him a you stand in awe of a man like this what he could accomplish could you and I always thought that my love did you imagine if you had such a passion you also have other things going with it I mean how much could be accomplished I mean what are you gonna tell the rebind intial island after 120 years where were you where was I I mean what you know what we could have done I was a little shy person but you know sometimes you have to do something you do it that's all here is the most important things in the world today because we're losing so many it's the most important thing so that it's imperative indicated to reach out to try to help somebody [Music] [Applause] [Music] good luck everyone my name is Joseph Klein while approximately 45 years ago Brian Mayer Schuster's that's all tap

to just talk to em one night I was sitting with my guitar and I was trying to think of where I was in my relationship with Hashem the thoughts of how Hashem is my King came into my head Hashem can do anything he's our King there's nothing beyond his will but I felt like I was missing something and after a little bit of thinking I realized it was the father part that we all have with a Shem and he loves every single Jew with those two thoughts the concept of touching my king came out how would you guys connect the song and water buried in the sifter the song is a lot about expressing and being able to talk to a Shem and being okay with shortcomings and being okay with being vulnerable and I think that's what she was about to know you still have a connection with that Shem you can still turn to toffee my king you can still turn to your father and plead don't ever let go of me no matter what and some of you guys already know we have a project inspired convention coming up in which more than a thousand people are gonna come together and try to figure out how best to inspire other people to connect - Evan what message you think the song that gives those people in terms of understanding how to connect people - oh god it's not far away from us like I feel like God is some entity up and up in the heavens I think that you hear talk to my king father I plead it's really something that's very attainable no matter who you are no matter how far you are how close you are everyone could get close - mm and everyone belongs somewhere talk to my king is a song that is all about connection with Hashem and that is what all of you are doing at project inspire helping people connect with Hashem and find that connection with Hashem tonight we'd like to dedicate this song to
