dedicated sponsored for the success and

sponsored by Amazon for success and in
the health of her husband and children
tonight I want to thank
you
I've opened the doors of helping
coordinate tonight's event
um in the the Kazakh organization as we
know is that is one of the leading
organizations organizes how many
Different Serum and events like tonight
different communities Inspire men and
women fall backgrounds as well as a
major focus of inspiring Jewish public
school students through after school
programs in 50 different locations daily
programs for public school students to
inspire them to to teach them Torah and
Judaism and with the hope of hopefully
transfer them to Yeshiva and since 2017
as we've helped transfer over 1300
children from public school Yeshiva and
then right now we're right before during
the nine days of over the nine days and
the destruction the base of migdash and
and what we could do is there's a
destruction going on in our community
and the public school students and
Jewish public school students and each
one of us in order to rebuild a basement
we can reach out to kazak and send and
let people know about the great programs
because I said they can help come to the
after-school program or go to Yeshiva
yeah and
thank you very much
oh I have to put this on okay I have to
be wired
okay we wired
a Sim
I like to read everywhere Robin just
mentioned and uh think the killer said
oh Sarah yeah
what a beautiful bit can I said
and uh of course to thank the amazing
staff all that they do like Robbie just
mentioned unbelievable we have to do
more we have to bring you that I want to
bring Hashem so the topic that's been
advertised is uh preparing for tea
Shabbat so the first thought that I had
okay preparing for t-shirt is a fast day
and how do you prepare for a fast you
drink some water a lot of water right
and they say it's a good thing to have a
watermelon and maybe get some rest and
that way you could have an easy fast and
I see everyone uh is smiling and
laughing but uh
that's the sad reality many people what
do they wish each other I have an easy
fast have an easy fast have an easy fast
but we all know that's not what it's all
about it's not about just having the
fans come and go getting it over with
let's finish this already fanito how
fast does it end what can we do to make
it finish faster which videos and
organizations and programs is out there
with the or every day we know that
rambam it tells us that the reason for
fasting is to awaken us and to inspire
us to do chuva to repent that is the
idea of fasting
ladies and gentlemen for all of you
coming out on Iran on Wednesday night so
many people I'm so inspired
and uh we all know that the reason that
the beta mcdosh the Holy Temple was
destroyed was why because of Sinatra and
bases hatred
and what do we have to do to rebuild the
betterment we have to do the opposite of
Sinatra Nam which is
we need to love all free for all free
from a love for all that's what it is we
have to love everyone no matter what the
situation no matter what the background
is we have to work on this and we all
know that the gamara
that every single year that the
betterment is not rebuilt it's as if it
was destroyed in that year so in essence
we're not crying and we're not mourning
and we're not into the three weeks and
hours closures we just had up so it's in
the nine days
itself it's not because of what happened
back then but it's because what's
happening now it's because of what we
are doing
what that means is we have to work on
this
for the fact that how do we prepare for
the job we have to prepare by not having
a dish above by not having it a fast day
there's a beautiful there's a beautiful
inside his house never think about it
most holidays happening foreign
it's a date it's the ninth day of the
month of abs
and the three-week period it entered
with what with the 17th day of the month
it was a fast day as well it's not a
name it's a date this is to give us they
give us inspiration it's a cup to tell
us that we all know that is
to become a happy day it will be turned
from sad to Happy
so that they would have named it yamah
Quran the day of the destruction
then it would have been like that
forever but the fact that they didn't
give it a name is to give us hope it's
to give us to give us inspiration to say
that it's called the ninth day of the
mother of it's called it's a date
because one day it's going to be changed
President Jimmy happened this year's
Japan soon it's gonna be changed from a
sad day to a happy day without Hashem
and we have to understand that in order
to have this change of sadness to
happiness we have to change ourselves we
have to work on ourselves there's no
better time than now during the three
weeks we just had virus which talks
about the 42 journeys
of the Jewish people that they were from
Egypt we try them all the way to getting
into our stroke imagine every single one
now interestingly enough if you do these
three weeks three weeks if you do the
math is how many days it's 21 days and
we have another time in the calendar
year that 21 is also very very very
important it's from Russia
it's 21 days now help me out with the
math for a moment 21 plus 21 is how much
42 oh you guys are good you guys know
your math okay very impressive
42 is membit it's also the massage and
these why did the Army's not the Jewish
people have to go through all these
Journeys is to teach us gradual growth
you don't change from point A to point Z
in one moment it takes time to go up the
ladder if you go from the first rung of
the ladder and you jump to the tent
they're gonna fall you have to take it
one step at a time growth takes time it
takes time to become a better person and
that's what all of you have come here
tonight for inspiration to visit the gym
change to grow and we have to remember
that not only in this time period is
important to grow but it's at all times
and I'll prove it to you in the Hebrew
language
how do you say one second do we have any
Hebrew speakers here
there you go
if you pay attention
is very similar to the word shinui that
means every single second Shania shinui
what do we have to do we have to change
we just had today it's over already but
we just had what
or Scottish how do you say month
we just had I said yeah it's open
month is calledest
chodesh
it's renewal what do we have to do every
single month we have to renew we have to
come better every single second in every
single month
a month away from today
we're going to have visits Hashem
this month is
coming I'll invest coming get ready
in the crowd that's right waking up
early get ready all laughing thank you
it's very nice of you but uh don't worry
we have the rice and pasta we have a
balance we have uh certain pluses and
minuses I think it gives out more or
less but all seriousness is a little
battle is coming in a month after all we
all knows
so how do you say a year in Hebrew
once again is coming to tell us
something powerful what are we doing
Rosh Hashanah
change every year we have to change we
take resolutions we take things upon
ourselves but it's not just on Rosh
Hashanah during chuba season but it's
all year round every second every month
every year we have to change we have to
work on ourselves this is something we
have to work on it's not something it's
not easy
and if it is easy there's a famous thing
easy come easy go we have to work on it
we have to work on it we have to toil
it's not easy I want to share with you
with me iri says Erie says something
amazing he says that if you are the same
person this applies right now during
this period of time the nine days that
we're in and this is going to apply by T
Shabbat if you are the same person
before and after the fast or before and
after these nine days or before and
after the three weeks whatever it is you
know what you're compared to the mirror
he says something a little bit offensive
okay don't throw the tomatoes at me I
didn't say it is I'm just quoting he
says that you are like a hamor you're a
donkey why because if you don't change
Aid a Jew has to always be changing
always be growing always going to the
next level always doing more never being
satisfied always learning more always
dominating better
he says because a donkey is the same
exact donkey every single season the
oath season The Barley season the wheat
season he's always the same donkey as
the same hamor but us we have to always
be changing we always have to be growing
we have to always do more we have to
always take more upon ourselves and the
more we think about ourselves the more
we're going to grow the more we grow
growth in Hebrew is
to grow so man that's very similar to
the word which is happiness you want
true happiness so Mass grow not grow
physically six feet tall that's not the
idea the idea is what to grow
spiritually with more Terra morbidroid
and that's the way we could work on
ourselves and work on this topic of
loving our foes like like we love about
the lyrics you love yourself it's work
it's we have to put effort into it is
mean to take him around to be next to
him and they'll organize here with the
rabbit will talk about Sid I would take
him to the SEMA Shots by uh by by
MetLife Stadium I took him to another
Cinema and it's cool to be with him a
lot Hashem and I remember very very
vividly I would go let's just say the
rabbi we needed to get something from a
supermarket let my child for example
okay and this actually happened and you
would see people and you would give them
a hug he would give them a smile he'll
give them a good word and then I would
be like rebe Museum who is this he's
like I don't know
I'm like I understand but you you you
you're like as if you know him say what
do you mean we love everyone
this is something we have to all take
upon ourselves to love everyone I
started doing it as well I see people I
give them a hug they think I'm crazy
yeah what are you doing
so I'm a little bit careful with dogs
but I'll give a smile at least nice to
see you and they'll be like who are you
it doesn't make a difference who cares
at the end of the day
you have to say that every single day we
have to love every single year every
single Jew we have to work on it and how
do we love more time loves in Hebrew is
ahava what's the root word of Allah it's
have what does have mean what does Lavi
mean to give
you don't know Hebrew Habib you have to
learn it's important
how do you love someone by giving it to
them the more you give the more you will
love
give a compliment give a good word give
a smile give give give and don't forget
when you give you're going to openly get
from upsham how do you saying again that
can Natan means to give an Ebro
backwards and forward to the palindrome
you spell it both ways interestingly
enough not only
but in English as well n-a-t-a-m
and backwards and forwards you give
you get you give you get the more you
give the more you get from shame kindly
be giving always be giving don't stop
giving or people like you understand I'm
gonna give everything for you know I'm
not gonna have anything left the more
you give the more you get from Shaman
from heaven from Hashem which is the
best
let's work on this whatever will die
let's work on this
so I'd like to share with you wherever
we tie his story
that I said last year of Marathon
and I got so much feedback from it
families that meet Shalom I mean peace
people that got along
and I want to share with you again gives
you the lesson is very very very
powerful
I just I mentioned the word Shalom I
want you to know why that there is
sometimes no Shalom there's no peace
people getting that along with each
other and there's
and there's a beautiful simple
explanation
sorry for the non-hebrew speaker but
we'll explain everything that's in
Hebrew to English as well
shalom
you know when you have Shalom when you
have peace when it's shalim when it's
complete when you know the whole picture
when do you have mcloket when you have
an argument
is helic
it's a portion it's a part when you only
know a part or a portion of the story
there's mcloket we're not on the same
page you know Shalom you know the whole
picture you're all on the same page you
sit down in this God you have shalom
wherever that is something everybody has
to work on and we know about it says
and hello
and what's knowledge him
now pay attention very interesting
you say shamai versus hello what's that
I'm showing up for the sake of Heaven
Quran and his people against who
are you say why don't you say against
Moshe or Badoo
simple question and the answer is very
powerful
a disagreement that is for the sake of
Heaven you will have a discussion shamai
speaks hilah listens hello speaks shamai
listens what was Clark and his people
they would speak and scream they would
have listened to the other side that's
Allah that's time for the sake of Heaven
you want to have Shalom you have a
conversation you go backwards and
forwards you bring it to the table put
them together you have an argument you
have a third person
whoever may be to make Shalom to make
beasts and another Hindus I tell you
very interesting many times
if you pay attention
what does it say
another very important lesson about
Shalom about peace about loving each
other about getting along is that
you know why what's bad mean
the house
you don't get the house involved don't
get other people involved how many times
do we have families that are broken and
torn apart because two people Adam had a
disagreement he told his wife injito the
neighboring the mother and the mother
loved as well it became world war three
everyone's advanced because you got the
bike and about you have a difference of
opinion with somebody else like we said
before you bring it to the rod you bring
it to an individual
he is the deciding factor between the
two of them and they'll be Shalom Ali
said there's gonna be peaceful so the
story goes as follows
that there was a rabbi narrative sir his
name is rabbi yanai he had a student
Alexander
Alexander had a son
you should never know this is a disease
very bad and what happened was that he
needed a specific blood type or bone
marrow to be maxed and they couldn't
find a match all over everything's trial
they look the rabbi told the student the
rabbi told the individual Alexander
listen God bless you with money
put up a sign one hundred thousand
dollars Whoever has a max now 100 000
over here especially in every so
especially it's a lot of money
now moraro died in the hospital where
this boy was there was a line around the
block
people trying to see if there's a match
for this boy for this individual
and what happens is that the first day
that they have this sign up it went
viral went all over the place
not one person of the hundreds of people
that came to the line were a match
the next day it was a big big line
not around the block a little bit less
and once again
there is no match
for the third day even less
but is
what happened was there was a match
there was one match Oswald he started
thinking singing they're all dancing oh
my gosh what are the changes and these
individuals said listen
before I do anything big in my life I'm
very strict about him about respecting
my father and mother I want to discuss
with my father beforehand of course go
right ahead go speak to your father they
tell them he goes says this is the
situation they're looking for a match
and I happen to be the match is it okay
I do this surgery operation whatever it
is
the father says of course what's the
question
means however saves one Jewish soul and
the Jewish people it's as if you save
the entire world
of course what a great thing you're
doing and the father says just asked you
a question sure who is this family who
is this individual that you want to help
out to Kevin who is this
and he says I don't know but they say
it's a guy named Alexander it's for his
son the father's face turns colors
and he's like Jonah my son listen to me
carefully
you could up anyone and anyone in the
entire world except for Alexander and
his family
the son hears this he says oh okay
father says I do no questioning it
reminds me of a famous story about Ram
Klein
his father this type of Yahoo
heard that there's someone named that
wasn't feeling well he thought it was
his son
he's like okay he goes to nevsky's house
he sees that the rabbi is learning he
tells him go
to lay down in bed
he doesn't say why what happened
no question that Alba said I do he goes
to the bed
Ruth steibler the father goes back on
they're like where did you go I heard
that shaim is not feeling well I wanted
Tom to go lay down
oopsie he goes back to Europe's house
his son's elf and he sees him he's in
the bed with a Camara
wherever we die for all the youngsters
at least
all those that have the screwed us to
have a father alive
he moved away in his heart but we got to
do whatever we got to do anyways back to
the story the father said to help
anybody besides from Alexander and his
family
son doesn't ask any questions
what happens is
that the search continues looking for a
match
and what happens is that time goes by
and the rabbi goes to this father
and he says listen your son is a man
he's the only match we're looking all
over the place
the father says listen Rabbi I respect
you it's a big honor to see you here but
I can't talk about it
tell me please I want the only one oh I
can't talk about it yeah no no yes
he leaves that I can't do it and the
search continues and still can't find it
it was at the time of pesach
his meal quickly and he goes to his
father's house
and the famous saying is
Secrets come out
and after four cups of wine and the
father
there's a knock on the door oh God if I
do a rabbi what are you doing there
welcome welcome community
and they talk different hidushim
insights
and he says to Ami why why tell me why
is that gonna tell you why he pulled up
his sleeve and he shows him the numbers
from the Holocaust
he's like I'm a Survivor from the
Holocaust from the show up
I lost my wife and four kids
but I actually really only lost three
kids I was ready and going away with my
Lads for the sun we're running away
we're escaping
and while we're escaping in the forest
all of a sudden a big projection a light
is on us
and there's screaming Judy doing Jewel
juice
and two Nazis are running after us to
get it with a Jew
a Jewish guard what they did was in they
took Jews and they made them work for
them they will give them extra food is
that whatever it is
and what happens is that this Jew that
was together with the Nazism kicks me so
hard the father says kicks me so hard I
fall on the ground in the forest
and then I hear him saying give me the
honor
and he takes the gun
from the Nazism
and poof poof and he shoots twice
on my son my last remaining son he
killed him and who is this Jewish guard
that killed my son
none other than Alexander
I was like what
crazy story I can't it's hard for me to
believe this he's my student
neighborhood he became about you about
he's totally religious like he's like
whoa let me digest all this let me
register all this
and the rabbi actually does a comeback
he's like you know what
you're a million percent right
you're a million percent right but if
you follow your emotions your heart your
gut feeling you're right but if you
follow the Torah the Shah the holy Torah
what does it say don't bear Grudge
I don't need your friend in your heart
he's like I promise he said I'm nothing
bad will happen for you
let this happen
let your son be the match go ahead do it
and the father says okay
he said okay
but on three conditions condition number
one is I do not want to see the guy's
face
condition number two is I definitely
don't want his money and condition
number three is I do not want anyone to
know about this top secret no one
not in no one else
the Rabbi says deal
and what happens is that they have this
surgery
and it's a success
whatever day it's a success the
transfusion worked and the child is
alive the individual is alive
in a few days weeks pass by and
Alexander is like one in the world's
gone out of here my word is a word I
said I'm gonna give a hundred thousand
dollars to whoever I was out my son who
is his individual where is he I want to
thank him I want to get to know him I
want to give him the money
and he goes to the hospital and all the
doctors and the nurses and the
secretaries
private information we can now give you
the information
he's like I don't understand what got
out of it this is crazy I want to know
say my son what sorry there was a
request a word is a word by us we cannot
give you the information he was going
from one place to the next place the
next Doctor the next nurse to the next
secretary one of the secretaries fell
into peer pressure
here's the address
he takes the edges and he runs goes
towards this address
and he wants to thank them
he knocks on the door
and the father opens the door and sees
Alexander
and he's Furious and he's angry he
starts screaming get out of here I don't
want to see you you're a murderer and
I'll do that what's going on with me
where did I knock
and he's screaming get out of here get
out of here
I said whoa whoa whoa I remember
I remember give me no I don't want to
hear you I don't want to talk to you
and he said please I beg you he's like
no no no yes no no yes what do you want
tell me he's like I remember that day
and I know in general people think that
I was a bad person but you should know
he saved a lot of Jewish people's lives
I had to make believe that I was friends
with the Germans and I had to make
believe that I was against the Jews but
be honesty that was helping out a lot
and he's like I remember when you were
in the forest with your son I remember
it very vividly I remember it very
clearly and yes I kicked you very hard
and yes you fell down you must have been
injured or whatever the situation was
but I only did it as you make believe
that I am on their side
and you know what I did I took the gun I
told him to give me the honors right
and I took the gun and poof poof I did
two shots the two German Nazis
and I took your son and I adopted him
and now everything makes sense because
your son in Europe
is exactly the match that you added
narrative style for your son and the
essence
you saved your son's life
unbelievable
unbelievable he had this see now he had
this hatred torrents this individual
bottled in him for all those years
you killed my son he was holding on to
his son
he was the one that
save them
but he had the Cena he had his hatred
listen it wasn't he wasn't baseless
hatred but if you really think about it
deep deep very deep there is a such
thing as any agent that's not baseless
what then what are you talking about he
hit me he did this to me he stole he
whatever it is he you know what he did
to this that
let me explain to you it's very simple
if you believe like that you're acting
like a killer what's that a dog what
happens is there's an owner of a dog and
the dog was a little bit misbehaving so
the owner of the dog takes a stick and
he started banging to the dog and the
dog is upset and he's barking and
screaming and he's running after what
the owner of the stick
the stick man what are you crazy
everyone's laughing at a dog he's
running after the stick but it was
really hitting in
it's owner what are you adding out to
the stick for same thing with us when
someone does something to us who is
really doing it
God almighty this guy at the end of the
day is only a stick
that's in you he's a messenger he's a
slea at the end of the day everything
that happens to us
it's a mirror image from us you hear
that everything that happens because of
us
everything that happens to us every
single division is because of what we
did because of our actions the bench
Christ said something amazing I love it
so much beautiful Michelle beautiful
parable
that there everyone wanted to get closer
to Berlin to God Almighty but United you
get closer to God you're not even got
closer to you better yet how do you make
God closer to you is by you becoming
closer to God let me explain there was
an individual he went to the store to
buy a mirror and he goes to the story
and he calls the individual I want to
buy a mirror oh sure I have a most
beautiful mirror for you you're gonna
love it it gives him the Mary shows it
to him
and the guy doesn't show any interest
he's like what's wrong with it he's like
listen the picture I see over here it's
ugly it's dirty the hat is crooked
get me something else he's like you
might as noon you fool you crazy
that's you fix your hat you're dirty
clean yourself up come back you'll see a
beautiful picture
the banish guy says that how do we get
closer to Hashem

that means is the way we work on

and the nine rabbis of the delegation
are standing over there and they are
livid did I grabbi you're late to this
most important meeting with the prime
minister

you don't understand there was this old
man old man schmold man what are you
talking about what in the world are we
going to tell the Prime Minister we had
a meeting with him and we miss
we missed the train he said you're right
no excuses 100 I'm wrong
they missed they missed that train they
were waiting for the leader of the
delegation the rabbi doctor uh mayor
Lehman they're waiting for him with Adam
and he was a spokesperson he was the one
that was going to talk he was a good
speaker or reader he knew the
information
so what happens is
the rabbi goes back home all the rabbits
go back home he said we have to meet
tonight we have to figure something out
because this is not good news for us
he's probably gonna be upset he had a
meeting where he came to the meeting
with him go show up so what happens is
that he's at home and he's crying and
he's saying I sham God why did you send
me this old man why did you do this to
me all of the future of Judaism in
Germany is all my shoulders and now who
knows what's going to be it can even be
worse
and he's crying and he's sad and his
wife is trying to calm him down this and
that
and back then
under the 50 years ago they didn't have
radio they didn't have computers they
didn't have uh you know social media
WhatsApp all this stuff with news with
updates how did anyone get news it was a
newspaper there was two editions there
was the Morning Edition and it was a
night Edition but whenever there was
something that happened that was the who
that was urging there was an emergency
there was something special that
happened there will be another Edition
that happened during the day in middle
of the day it was called a special
edition
and what happened was that the rabbi was
in his study and he hears the boy
outside screaming special edition
special edition
here how does it go whatever the the
line is Special Edition
and they go out they say what happened
what's going on what's the special
edition all about
he said that there was a train that left
at 9am from this city and that train
crashed and all the people died
it's like oh my gosh
we were supposed to be on the train
we were supposed to be on the train and
because of this old man
nine plugs with ten round eyes were
saved
they get a telegram
from the prime minister's office
we are worried for the rabbis
they must have been on that train
they quickly send a telegram back to the
Prime Minister we weren't on the train
long story we will tell you at the next
meeting when can we meet they get a
telegram back a letter back come next
Tuesday at one o'clock
and this time the rabbi said listen no
old man old woman no matter what you
come at 8am you make sure to be here and
what happens is the delegation of rabbis
go onto the Train on time they go to
meet with the Prime Minister and the
Prime Minister here is this miracle you
want to tell me some old man came to
your abs and he wasn't letting you go
because he had this question of life and
death about naming the job he's like you
Jews are unbelievable he's like what's
your request what do you guys want
listen
there's a reform movement and there's an
orthodox movement and they made some
sort of a thingy that you could only do
reform synagogues and reform Yeshiva we
need it's like not only are you allowed
to the Prime Minister told him but I'm
also going to help supportive as well
that's what he told them wherever
without the story doesn't end there a
few years later their allies give me a
sheer he's giving me a lectures give me
a clot and after the class there's an
older individual with a younger boy
to my grandson sure
what's his name his name is what
what
doing
David
so the rabbi's like I don't understand
what type of name is this
it's like a rabbi you told me
he said whoa you that's you
say yeah yeah you remember I was in your
ass
he's like oh my gosh he's like there
have a thousand you remember you told me
you remember you told me that you have a
question of life and death he said yeah
yeah
he's like you should know it wasn't life
and death for you but it was life and
death for us if it wasn't for you we
would have been dead
Wherever Would I we have to remember
everything is for the best we have to
remember it sometimes it's good to miss
the train many people get upset all the
time I missed the bus and Mr training I
missed this I missed that everything is
for the best why is it it's so annoying
why is it that you know you missed a
flight this happened to me in the past I
had something important
it doesn't matter the details whatever
Washington listen that whatever
and I missed the Mr flight why is it
that everything's for the best when
everyone else dies in the plane why why
do we have to wait for people to
something to get hurt it's like the
rabbi one time an individual came over
they were shock and the individual said
I had a baby girl after nine months of
marriage do I need to make a Kiddush
do I need to make a you know let people
make breakfast isn't it he's like let me
ask you a question if you waited 20
years to have that girl would you make a
kid and she's like oh wow what a kid a
child Nick are you kidding me I will get
the whole Community everybody will come
this and I'll make the biggest I got
everything children
everything you name it everything
included so the railway building
something very powerful we have to take
you start as well he's like how much
more so do you have to make a kitchen
think Hashem that he gave your child
right away why is it that we have to
wait in the issues and problems and then
think Hashem
we have to remember we Jews where does
it come from you you this is
thankful we have to always be
appreciative for everything not for all
the people not when things are hard and
you get out of the difficulty very small
thing every single thing we have to be
thankful we have to be thank you
the more we thankful to Hashem the more
happy we're going to be the more you
think it's like my children God bless
them the more this you ever think here
we appreciate that for this I want to
give them more you're so cute same thing
with us reckons children the more we
think the more we get closer who the
better it is whatever that is a lot more
information to give over but I want to
end off one last I guess just for the
record whenever I say end off I need
another hour I'm joking
so all seriousness there is one rule the
rule is I I and I okay you might have
heard of this before
I I and I a lot of you all over here
tonight welcome to so many of you I'm so
impressed I got kizuk just from seeing
all of you because again
I Ruled as follows all of you got some
information tonight eyes information I
oh I don't know if this worked out or
not
that there was inspiration as well
that's eye number two okay there was
information hopefully hopefully I don't
know you'll tell me later if there's any
inspiration but the most important thing
is that most people get information some
people get inspiration but very little
amount of people do the last I that's
implementation it's applying what we
learn and living by it the main message
of here tonight is
to love freely to love everyone and this
is work it's not easy I work on this
every single day to love everyone in any
manner anyone no matter what the
situation is
smiling it's hard smile you have a hard
day you woke up late okay do this one at
the school whatever it may be to smile
to work with yourself to love and to
smile to say hi and then and the
welcoming greet people with a smile to
give to others like we discussed
non-stop the more we work on this versat
Hashem the better we're going to be
prepared for Tisha bab which
is not going to be one of sadness but it
should be one of happiness and we should
see red engine where the betterment is
