And and you The The guys that are here in the Yeshiva, that's what my kids and the guys in the Yeshiva I thought I was in tin can like fighting Muslims. It was like take a tin can and get it to do something. And I met guys who weren't happy with this whole story. And I saw my kids we have souls. We have neshama. It's not like a cute thing. It's not like something meant like go tell a struggling guy. No, no, no. Go tell every guy in Kollel Chazon Ish, tell every loyal tinok, every rabbinic every young man awake. We have neshamos. That's the way it is. Just the truth. It's just the truth. We have We are neshamos like like mamash. Just truth. Just truth. It's not It's just true.

You'd watch the process. Violin violin. But a person goes through mourning there's a process that the way Hashem set things up. Hashem knows us. It's wild. The process of mourning. And one of the things that just happens is you see the departed you had the names of the shamans. You had that. You like come to that. You literally come as you go through your process, you realize it was a big soul. Like it was that's what the person was. The shaman. That's how you relate. That you literally start understanding. You want to bring it to the living. You want to look at each other like that. And I I can't say it's easy to do that. Cuz we have so many distracting features. We have so many quirks and stuff. >> [snorts] >> So you see a guy, you we relate very physically and we are physical. We are we have a body we're gifted with a body. And yet, when a person departs, I'm just saying what happens. You have the whole family say, "Well, this was a big neshama." Let's say you relate. That's you starting to understand it. The year is still negotiating. You go through your life and you negotiate a lot of the physical quirks. You figure out a lot of the stuff and your stuff and then but you the ultimate place you come is that was a neshama. Whoa. That's how you relate. That's where literally you come to. That's So, my father the last night of that he was conscious, and he thought he was coming out of the hospital, he said he he said with my mother five times, "Oleh ha-neshama." He wanted to say this. Said if we found later in Sefardic, you're supposed to say it five times. We don't know he knew a lot. So, could be he knew that. I don't know. We don't know. But he Yes, my mother, they said together "Oleh ha-neshama." She sat with me And then again by the doctors, he was he was he did not expect what happened. With his last conscious moments, his last hours with my mother, they said "Oleh ha-neshama" five times. These precious words that when a neshama "Oleh ha-neshama" in an age where there's so much shame. Shame is rampant and so many fake people think they did this. They're a bunch of hogwash. It's like this nonsense. People are convinced we did this, we did that. Possible nonsense, nonsense, nothing, zero. People wonder, "How do I It's funny. Rabbi was sneaky. People Rabbi was sneaky and we were together and a rav was speaking to Rabbi He's speaking to Rabbi of the yeshiva. A well-meaning rav but but a rav who doesn't understand life so well. But he was telling the Rabbi of yeshiva, that they gave the yeshiva had teshuvah. My My life I know where I was lucky for many years. You know where I remember years. To say he was mad, he was an angry dikdusha. He was so angry that brothers of the guys couldn't shuvah, they couldn't shuvah. Shuvah, what are you talking shuvah? The guys are all kids, they're under 20. And I never met a guy that have various. What are you talking? What don't you I know shaikh and you do shuvah. What are you shuvah? What is he like? What What What are you saying? What are you saying? What A person's having a process. Is Is Is It's not the It's not the It's not It's not what's going on. It's not the sugiyah. We all the sugiyah chuvah is every year there's a sugiyah chuvah. Every I said like It wasn't the sugiyah. It's not the sugiyah. That's relating in a way and then the mean you mean well. Now shuvah if you explain what shuvah is in it. The rabbas to learn the sugiyah of chuvah yet. What shuvah? He's like as some sinner some It's very Christian-like. A condemned soul. There's a youngster who's finding and searching for God. The things The things people feel shame are very holy things that they're looking for connection. They're craving God. That's it. When you're in sixth grade craving connection comes out in funny ways. And when you're 15 and you don't know what it is and you're not touched enough by your dad so comes out in interest is garnishing. Garnishing. Finding finding Hashem. A search for Hashem. And the person finds it. And the kain neshama is such precious words that we say every morning and absorb all the kain neshama should be be Torah. The soul and it's pure. It's pure and so For If there's words for our generation, these would be when you hear the Torah of the yeshiva the song. For a year it was very It was like the I don't want to say the song of the yeshiva but it was And it's And for for our age it's a song we have to sing and it's words that we have to absorb very, very seriously. The shamash has to be Torah to get to the spaces of just understanding that. We have a It is the Baal Hatanya's yahrzeit. You read Tanya and it's advised you find out who we are. You read the Tanya, you see what we are, who we are. But that's that's a tremendous avodah. Today there's confusion who we are, what we are and people if we could get lost in that sense, it's a very deep generation. This we live in amazing times. The dor is very pnimius. To somebody that doesn't get his his identity questions is the deepest thing. People are asking, "Who are we?" It's a wild dor. It's the pnimius of the dor. It's not a generation rooted in action. It's clearly like people has more anxiety. This This is what predicted by the nevi'im. It says It says Hashem's going to take a lev even turn to lev basar. The guy says my children handed me tears. I've learned how to cry. I learned to cry for my own stuff. I can cry for my stuff. I can present there's a lev basar going on and the psukim predicted it. Hashem said, "I'm going to take your lev even turn it to lev basar." We're seeing that in a very sensitive generation, like incredibly sensitive and very deep, just a very deep generation. It's happening. There's a lev basar coming. It's It's such a gift. It's such a I don't want to say curse, that wouldn't be nice, but it's a challenge. Better than a curse. It's a feeling generation. Goodness me. There's anxiety, tremendous. I see in the anxiety of today I see so much beauty. I say that there's so much pain with it. Cuz to be anxious, but people are feeling. Anxiety's like a human condition. We don't control a lot. We can pretend we're rooted in action. I was like I was like a godol hador in that field. Like like amazing at it. And you develop tricks. I could If anybody wants to study, I can try to help you. Maybe I should help people anxiety, teach them to like not feel again. It's not a good idea. It's not a good idea. Like sure, I don't I'm not sure it could even be to what I have to like think about it. Could I market it maybe? Maybe it wants to be a side job, I don't know. I There was a therapist used to like train young people just next minion next minion sham your after sham your after sham your after and then I need It was like trying to get back to lay heaven. It's added to the There's no lay buster. There's no lay buster. And then we have to work what a lay buster looks like and I'm not I don't know. I don't want to say anxiety as a fact is that I don't know. I suspect. I suspect when a lay heaven becomes a lay buster, suddenly you're all of a sudden content with a lot of things when you start feeling. The guy's the first guy feeling in a hundred years in a certain way. People get confused. I mean, last year people cried. You can cry and not and not be specific. The nuance isn't in the world like I saw people that cry. That doesn't mean you're nuanced to the inner. Why is it Tears are always a gift. People are emotional, but the nuance is today is dark. I watch my children. You watch a young kid. My 17-year-old daughter is much more advanced emotionally than me. I don't say it to make a generation bigger. That's the show The last third giants giants and they were doing exactly what they were supposed to. They were giants. The actions I see her exactly exactly what they were supposed to. If we do a half a good a job as they did, we're we'll we'll thank Hashem. It's not bigger, but it's a very special generation. Like really really really special. Very fast in generation. I had my sister is very is is a is a is a princess of action. She's big person and we had a conversation yesterday. We were talking about this chazal chutzpah yaski that the generation of Messiah chutzpah is not really afraid. And I I we were talk we were talking about this that kids today will speak to us, your children will speak to you when they will speak to your parents. And and we say chutzpah is foolishness, chutzpah. If it's saying it's of the Messiah, it's the footsteps of Messiah, so I'm saying it's a good thing. Wouldn't be a footsteps of Messiah if it's a bad thing. It means it's coming from a big earth. I don't [clears throat] think in my life I'll shut Did I ever shut you? That maybe I did sometime in my life. I don't shut down my kids chutzpah. It's not happening. How many times in my life did I tell you chutzpah, man? Many chutzpah. I probably said it sometime in the past. I don't remember, but not very common to say chutzpah. And mainly we're stuck on our chutzpah day, but all my kids but there's still ways they'll speak to us I wouldn't speak to my parents. And and we live in a very humanistic that actually want to know what they're feeling. I want to know what they're feeling. I want And with my own son, I don't want to say chutzpah because I really I get insulted from my kids we're human. It would be weird for a guy not to get insulted from his kids. He'd be amazingly detached. That'd be horrible. And you get insulted from your wife and your children. And I've learned that I've learned to be insulted. It's wonderful. I used to be a tzaddik never get insulted and I shut down many parts of me. To be a tzaddik Nachman Please text me now. You shut down parts and parts. You You're like a quarter of a person. Half of your insides are shut down. Beautiful insides. So, then why not be insulted? Why not go to work? You're insulting me. You don't You don't have to hold it to the person. You're insulting me, okay. Be insulted. It's very good to be insulted. Shem built us right. Very good. You will learn stuff. You figure out stuff. Then your life is open, your mind is close to your children, you're close to your wife. Guy doesn't get insulted from his wife, he's just out of touch. It's honest. It's that being insulted is such a good thing. It's so healthy. Once in a while you can even say, "Wow, that hurt me." Imagine a man saying that. Crazy world. Hashem built us incredibly right. He made us right. It was too sensitive a generation. All these sensitivities, they're just raising a you know, finicky baloney. It's not true. So that's a marita against Hashem. It's a very deep generation. And it's very cool to be sensitive. But I don't get it. You're just going to lie in bed all day wallowing in self. No, you're going to feel Hashem made us right. You don't Don't be If you have to ignore everything, you don't have to ignore everything. You actually could be present with things. The lave is patuach. You get crazy places from a lave patuach. You'll actually feel other people. You know how many guys call you out when you shut down things? I mean, you're not feeling nothing. You you We're talking. That's not It's not the person has lave patuach and and in a dar that the pascha has a lave basar. Incredibly lave basar. So yeah, people are experiencing and feeling and this is such a Had a more mild We're very close for a long time. When he was a youngster When he was a youngster, he used to tell me that Rebbe, I see your life when I cry. He used to tell my I feel badly. I asked him I've asked him the feeling before. I was a mean person. I watch him cry. You guys feel Remember, I'm like a godel. I'm like ignoring the whole inside. And I see a person who's feeling. I was meshumam. I was amazed by it. I was amazed. I was I want and I wanted to cry with him and can't. Today, thanks to friends, to my children, I can cry with somebody because I can cry my own stuff. I can feel my own stuff. It's wonderful. It's wonderful to be present to your stuff. You don't have to ignore. It's not about wallowing and it's about being present to your story. It's It's actually I made us right. Isn't that a crazy Isn't that a crazy thing? It's like a nutty thing to think that our inside is as beautiful as our outside. We think like the messy inner world. The outer world's well designed. The inner world's just as beautiful, more beautiful. It's wonderful. All our stuff, all our interesting things, this is a beautiful space in a void of Hashem. The whole tell him is the beautiful inside The whole tell him is a beautiful inside of being afraid, of being uncertain. We talk about anxiety. I'm not making light of something that's a challenge, that's complicated. I watch people with anxiety learn to relate to things. Learn to like be present to things. They have to They have to plan it and think and are connected things in incredible ways. It doesn't work the hustle bustle. I beg the guys, don't run to the column. Skip the paycheck and the on time all this funny stuff. Stop coming on time. Don't tell the guy if he wants to not let me come back. Come late. Come just just be present. Be present. Just smile and the shmearas stern campaigns are are are very dangerous, remarkably dangerous. Many a coil younger man has been felled with these type of things. Come. I apologize. No, there's I don't know yet the policies. Everything's going to be so good. But I just say come. Come and come with simcha. Come with simcha and be present. Mamish be present. Mamish look at your chavrusa. Your chavrusa's late. There's like shame nonsense. Look at your I'm I'm not I'm into time. I'm getting more and the more I understand this the more on time I'm becoming. It's not about making afkerus. It's about being present. Come and enjoy your chavrusa. Open the and first say a word it. to [cough] ladies on time. The guy is happy. Relax. Let's maybe shouldn't learn a little Torah. The Torah you know and it's being allowed to trip. Some people sing words of sacred Torah. They say a word like I'll go to a class and I'll sit at a rabbi's table. Nobody means bad and it's a beautiful thing. People like sharing words. Now words I promise Torah is good and it's good when they're uncomfortable. It's a big zikrus they're uncomfortable and they're saying a word. You know we all say they can meet somebody. You can really see somebody. Right. It's interesting I'll tell you something funny. I was driving this whole trip my wife is going to kill me. >> [laughter] >> I was I was driving I was driving with some young guys in the Yeshiva and there was some young guys by his own's tell me them Yeshiva. By his own's relationship to guys and honest curved relationship. There were words and guys back from Lakewood. They were in my car and they weren't talking the most clearly. They were cursing. It was kishkes. And I want to say that I appreciated more the trip than a guy saying I'm not making fun of the guy. Rebbe Rebbe can I ask a shaila? The guy means well completely. Like you're supposed to ask a question. Okay. Can I share make a stone? Whatever he wants to ask. Whatever he wants to ask. I'm not we were listening to the make him together and they're like what what Be present. Don't worry. Don't worry. I felt so comfortable so nice that I watch his own relate. He's not like working. The guy's like relate. Hi. Hi Rebbe and come and you watch guys come to share and they talk. They argue. They fight. They present and and we manage [cough] we're souls. It's not like a cute slogan. We're good nishamas. We could be present. The way Torah and zemiros I don't mind if somebody uses it to be comfortable. It's not the end of the world. It's not a bad thing. I'd rather sing with my family that we're all comfortable that we could sing. The Pesach seder is not a night of words. We sit together as mishpacha that we comfortable with this. So, let's together. Let's have a seder, beautiful seder. And between it's nothing wrong if somebody says tons of words. The kids could say words. It's not a problem. Words are good. If somebody's even using to be comfortable, it's not to make fun. It's a good thing. And if there are people that were uncomfortable, it's not a taina. A world of Asia. We're in a generation that's very, very present. If you mock the previous thirds in a very chamura. And when people the laugh in the room is not laughing at a generation. It's celebrating that we're getting to very places on the backs of the last generation. They brought us here. With us here. So, a friend of mine who's who who woke me up to the inner world. He's brilliant. And he told me thinks if I He's a genius. I don't think this way. The guy was thinking are there like two two in one generation or how would look. He said we'd be in shambles our people. He said I should Could you imagine I should got it right when and what The guy like I I can't even like think about this. This guy like contemplate his mispalelim and and all. Like like was tracting that are there. He like woke me up to my inner world. And he was like and it's not to mock in the slightest in the slightest mamesh. Not at all. Literally not. I think about the people I'd be mocking you it would be crazy heroes, giants, soldiers, warriors. It's supposed to be this way. And then the There was years talk about this. Talk about the generation of Messiah being more feminine. It's These are This is all spoken about. It's not like a hidden It's not like new These are partial things. You can read in there what we're experiencing. So, it's just It's These are the the Navian These are the Reboni Shalom runs a good world. One has to accept himself. It's interesting. All of us were building homes, Danny. The home has to be positive. It starts that you have to make a light in your own inner world. That's the first light to make. Accept. Don't fix. Don't correct or bad or accept or accept. Make a very big light inside inside the same. The same Don't worry. And it's not like working The person thinks about the shame of youth. Like working children. You would have loved that. You would have Today, all of us take any of those six pairs, we would just love the kid. The kid's an angel. Please. Please. Not not like okay, you can change. That's not you. You know that It's good. So, I want to share something with the heaven that I heard yesterday. It's been an incredible trip coming with my grandson, coming with my zone, coming with my mom, coming with heaven. It's been an amazing trip. And we just had good experiences. Different to be at the different issues. I made a commitment. You can go to 100 places and be at none. And you're just running running You could be nowhere. It's all nothingness. Or you could actually like be somewhere and enjoy. Try and just enjoy. Mo has been doing arranging and doing My kids have been amazing. I'm just trying to be present and enjoying the We've been to different issues. One It's interesting to feel the flavor of different issues, different places. We just have to be around to meet Sadiq and to meet We're good people and to enjoy to be present to our people. And along the way, somebody told me if I heard the second minute, I very much appreciate him. And he told me a terrible I that I'm give you He told me yesterday. I think it's amazing. His day of madness fantastic. He asked that that power rate I shouldn't say what power is going to say. I am a shame of my shame of my name or I shouldn't say to my shame and I am saying Kira Dab Raleigh power rate name or when power rate says to you to new life in my face. The word life in you almost can't say anything about a shot. Power rate is going to say to you to new life in my face. Give for you a miracle. To new life in my face. Power rate is going to say prove your metal. Show me a miracle. You're saying you speak for God. Show me. So to new life in my face. Give us. Prove. He says to new life in my face. Tell Aaron throw your stick and it will become a snake. What's to new life in my face? To new life in my face. What's a shot? The day is like wild. It's just rain. >> [clears throat] >> I learned the power show on the plane. I care about words a lot. To new life in my face. He's right. To new life in my truck. What I I was going on the power show when I study I'm like literally looking looking at this like that this is the what you notice. This is what you learn. To new life in my face. What's a show? What What would I say man? My father was building a shot. What I'm going to tell you I don't know maybe we'll learn a lot. Actually we'll learn a lot. He always trained me. What's the shot of it? See when I go to see the story but I wait a minute. Cuz I do like what's the shot? What's to new life in my face? Why do you read that? To new life in That is to new life in Give for yourselves a miracle. Give for us. I didn't get I repeat the question. Yeah. Power rate says thank you for asking. I like that. I like that. He's right. That is just Yes. No. They're all speeches you say. like If somebody didn't get a question, there's nothing to study. It's not anything you want. A question is friction. A question creates. That's how you get anywhere in life, friction. Souls are put here to experience friction and from the friction they produce Friction's good. A question is friction. So, enough talking. >> [cough] >> I learned more from you asking what's question than for me to repeat saying the question. Thank you. >> [clears throat] >> It's like I took a lot of took out the Torah. Somebody asked a question. He took out the Torah to check. And he said you have to ask. You have to ask. You have to ask. We were trying to figure out the dots and there There's so many dots in in the Homish and there's even a ration that the possuk has three dots and then there's really four. That's one was a holum. The holum was all confused. So, as soon as we look at the Torah, we showed in the Torah it doesn't have the holum. It just had the three dots. It was wonderful to open the Torah and learn. It's wonderful. What's this life is? It's Paro Hashem says that Paro is going to say to you Aaron, "Do for yourselves Give for yourself a miracle." Paro is going to ask Give for us a miracle. Do for yourselves Paro is going to say Prove. Let me see your metal. Let me see your stuff. You're really a man of God? Do for us a miracle. Don't say for us. He says Do for yourselves a miracle. He wants a miracle for me. >> [laughter] >> So, this This Yid said yesterday This Yid said a It said a remarkable shot. He said He said Israel that all the miracles of the world, but it's all it's all tricks. The doer of the miracles not impressed. You know, the magician I I can't stand when people try to figure out tricks. I never try to figure out. It's like a schmuck if you know the trick. Please, don't ask the Do you know the People like looking at the cat. I just love the show. You ruin the I don't want to know. I don't know. I don't Levinger is my friend does all the tricks and I just go wild. I never The second I know the trick, I'll never enjoy it again. I I just like enjoying what he's doing. It's great. I like when guys in Yeshiva experience friendship and brotherhood. So you have brothers who are talented and it's just I A kid comes to Yeshiva feels alone. He finds He doesn't get a Yeshiva, he gets a world. He has brothers. He meets Sammy. I like So I was with some guys who Amish felt very alone in the world in a restaurant. And in walked Levinger, went to Yeshiva. So I said, "Shlomo, you do some tricks?" And he started doing some tricks in the restaurant. They were like their brothers like this talented guy. He He took a ring and put it on the guy's finger. You ran took it off and started doing The whole restaurant was going nuts. There was a Yeshiva man there. So I know what you do. Do that again. Then he was worried the ring is going to break any It's very cute. He freaked out. He take it off. What are you doing? It was very interesting. But the maiseh, I don't want to know his trick, Charlie. I don't want to know what he does. He never He knows his trick. You think he's like amazed? Wow. He knows whatever slight of hand he has, he's well aware. And the trick doesn't mean much to him. It means something to us cuz we don't know You don't try to figure it out. To me it's like a You do, Sammy? >> [laughter] >> Then you never going to have a good time. Like what I don't I don't care. That's a personal thing. Maybe I'm Maybe I'm like stifling curiosity to figure it out. I just think it's much more of a schmuck not to know. It's a schmuck. The guy did a great thing. People look online today and find online that you busted the magician. Yeah, it's a sin that's not magic. They're they're very they're slight of hand. Maybe it's a mitzvah to do that. Like it shouldn't look like magic. Maybe it's a keep going saying it. My dad is going to do a magic trick on me after I'm done writing for Shabbos. Please don't. I only invite him if he doesn't tell me. That is Ishmael. You know the whole trick's busted. The bottom Bottom line is in Mitzrayim the magic was the magic was only for others. Cuz the doer the Mitzrayim was a place of magic, but the doer was not impressed. The doer and what Paro said to Moshe to Moshe. Do a magic trick. Do something amazing. You're saying you're a Hashem. You're out of this world, not from this world. Do something that's a maifis for yourself. We only have a maifis for others. To maifis. Do the different Do a miracle. It's a miracle for you. It's out of this world. It's beyond you. One of the nicest things I've heard in my life. That's what I say to every rebbe, every every [clears throat] parent. To maifis. You can give something Rebbe comes and wants to be like Ishmael. Unbelievable. Stop being Ishmael for them. To maifis. Learn in a way that you enjoy. Learn in a way you enjoy. Stop being My father a tremendous abba Torah. He taught Torah for 50 years. He never was trying to be Ishmael for another person ever. There was no tricks, no get the hint. No, no. He's excited by Torah. He always learned his way. He didn't play for a crowd. He was Ishmael, but he was Ishmael because he had a Ishmael. He loved Taisus, a Rashi, Gemara and they can laugh. It was such a chaya for him. He enjoyed. Now two things could happen if the Rebbe enjoys to do my face. Two things happens. Either because you enjoyed from my face my face my face my face my face my face my face my face my face my face my face And this even if a guy doesn't have my face it's very beautiful to see somebody is having a my face in town. It's nice to be around. And and I saw his longevity didn't burn out. Cuz it was how long can it be my face for somebody else? If the trick for you a magician is he's not loving his show and get hurt in the he's not like we're all sitting there wow. He's not like wow. Okay, if he's paid well he could probably extend his career. Thank you Charlie. I'll see you my face. Thank you. Thank you Charlie. I want you to know I want you to know and this and this young man and Charlie Brader goes around he has given my face to thousands of you and probably tens of thousands that's exaggeration. >> [applause] >> You and Charlie are not numbered guys. He put my face on a kid. He has handed my face. Thank you Charlie. I'll see you my face. I'll see you soon. He's on time and I'm working. I'm working. I was going to talk about time but it's not let's get back here. Yeah. The my face my face my face this word is remarkable word. This is like to build a life on. He says do do something that's that's godly that you're that you're in the my face from. It's out of yourself. You connected to my face. You're speaking about my face to do my face. It's not Lana my face. Lana was what you were in Tnu lo chemed if it's that to you is something extraordinary. You yourself feel extraordinary. Our type of magic, Perek says, is only is is is is only for other people. Your type of magic not do for us, that you just be the same type of magician we are. Tnu lo chemed something that for you is your is extraordinary. It's outside of you, you're in the shalom and from. That's what Perek yes, Moshe Rabbeinu. And that's the task of of the task of of handing to others is something that's precious to us, to ourselves if it's wonderful for us. The times in shiyurim you're learning, sometimes I >> [clears throat] >> learn with a group so I can say that. Usually the chevre is into it, sometimes I'm only into it, so sometimes it's gishmak, nice you learn learning Arabic so I can learn from. Sometimes the chevre is gishmak and sometimes I'll be so I'll be into it, I'll be present and sometimes I'm not present either and then we're all together and so. But but if if we could do lonu, if we could absorb ourselves and be present ourselves and chinuch is not to tell the child who made the trees for us to see the tree and to enjoy like say thank you, it's for us to say thank you to our wives. Tnu lo chemed is beautiful, beautiful understanding. Could we sing another song? You know I was saying l'mikdash eichtov. During during COVID so we had a lot of people learning Torah together. It was a very unusual and everybody remembers the unusual because we had this Zoom, this gathering. We were together a lot of people and it was the whole hashgacha was intact and Zoom is a terrible chill today. You guys want to give a Zoom shiyur? Zoom is ain't the fact cuz there's no It's just it's it's horrible. When you That's what you have, it's the best thing in the world. And it really was beautiful. It's like hard to picture a zoom. We were so together cuz that's what we had. And what you have is beautiful. That's at the time that's what we That was the together you could have. And we had a large people coming. We would sing. I didn't know you can't even sing on Zoom. What did I look like? But we did it. And they sang Arab Shabbos. They would say people told me a guy a guy is a rebbe in Chicago. Manny, I met a guy is a rebbe in Chicago. He said he he was an intellectual, a good guy. Look, Shaya is not as our community. We're just Yidden. It's a world Shaya, but you wouldn't think this Yid that Yid. And he was he said I did He said I was at a very low point in my life. He pulled me to the side. He said I was at a low point in my life. He said that the Zoom saved my life. He described the singing. He described the sing specific. came with me to Chicago. We visited Manny there. He said the singing saved my life. Said I would tune in. Arab Shabbos L'cha Dodi Shaya. Other people have told me this. The guy was emotional. The guy said saved my life. Said I was at a very very low place. The play The space he was in during COVID was very toxic. And he said it saved my life. He said I was hearing music. The guy The guy said a quote with Dovid. He said it saved my life. I told him the same thing. It's amazing. He The Manny of this L'cha Dodi Shaya told us Arab Shabbos wild. I remember from my with Chaim and Gerson they they sang the song every Arab Shabbos. That was the minute on Zoom. L'cha Dodi Shaya told many people told me that that's L'cha Dodi Shaya what it did to their Shabbos, what it did to their home. It's in Yerushalayim for sure. Chaim Dovid Shifra Yair >> [music] >> the Lord. >> [singing] [music] >> Make the Lord >> [music] >> the kindness >> [music] [singing] >> the kindness >> [music] >> Make the >> [singing] [music] >> the Lord. >> [chanting] >> Make the >> [chanting] >> the Lord. >> [music and singing] >> the kindness >> [music] >> the kindness >> [chanting] [music and singing] >> I sought I sought >> [chanting and singing] [music] >> I sought I sought >> [music] >> He heard >> [singing] [chanting] >> Look at >> [music] >> Look at >> [singing] >> Look at Look at >> [music] >> I sought I sought >> [singing] >> I sought I sought He heard >> [music and singing] >> Look at Look at >> [music] [singing] >> Look at Look at >> [chanting] [music and singing] >> He is our God. >> [singing] [music] >> He is >> [singing] [singing and music] [chanting] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music and singing] [singing] [music] [music and singing] [chanting] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [chanting and singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [chanting] >> Such an honor to be here. Such an honor. I like I like a lot in the places warmth. Warmth start a warm you know the warm Yeshiva is the Yeshiva good to his wife. That's a warm Yeshiva. That if two men got each other now it's really warm. It spills even to back and now mom that's the start. I like brothers close together, family close. That's how it will friendship. I like the two brothers here. That gives like families know if they're twins in the family, it makes the whole issue with supposedly. I can't I don't have twins. I always dabble for twins at work you think. My wife said to ride them. My wife is bigger than me. She unique only she always dabble for not twins and I should >> [laughter] >> one of my proofs one of my many proofs. But um that I always like twins. And they say in a family with the twins twins the family. Have you ever heard that? That's what I've heard. It makes sense such a thing. Whenever there's care of a many at a group of friends in the issue with the very close and made the whole issue with close. It's interesting. A fake friendship is divisive. It like clicky. Every issue with there's better would you shouldn't have groups. I mean 100 people are all equal friends. That's ridiculous. People have have an element. It's normal. But a healthy group makes Menachem Schechter I'm speaking them as you guys with the Schechter made the whole issue with close. You heard that you heard that it was the Schechter made the whole issue in their friendship like the brought the whole issue with closer. That's the theory of the twins in the family is a certain care of a that it brings to the whole family. I like in issue with brothers. Changes the group that then we all become like in that friendship and closeness of brothers is a everybody can happen. I loved it the brothers. I next time I saw you twins I don't know I got like confused a bit. They each go walking in their own right. But but brothers in Schechter is wonderful. In issue with we have a lot of brothers. I just like it that the brothers hang together and close. Ashi with his Ashi takes care of his brothers brothers brothers the issue with. Brothers are very very more modest brother is modest just close with just nice. Very big fan and maybe sorry how to sell it. Going on that being kind to your brother. Call up your sister, call your brother. You call and talk. I come here so one of my highlights is being with my sister. I do want to get moving. I want to get to my sister. There's sign and I hang. I grew up she was my one of my best friends growing up and played a lot of ball together. She's competitive. She's She said to my kids she never lost to dodge a match and land game in her life. That I don't know. I can't I must know. >> [laughter] >> She is very competitive. But I being in the family, being in the family. Our own children, the energy of children, the love that that the world of kindness. You know, don't be good to your kids otherwise they'll go off the derech. You don't want them to say this. That's thinking the thing. Child, I see a father Danny Danny here with his son Sunny. Beautiful. Father and son took a trip together. Precious precious. The light of that. It's not a cuz otherwise they'll go off the It's nothing to do with it. Go with your sons. I'm sleeping by Manny's house. It's a light. A father and son delightful. It's precious. It's precious. Early early morning. My early morning. My early morning coffee with Manny just drinking coffee. Delightful. Wonderful. It's like such a light. Father and a son. I'll tell you something funny. I I struggle with it. I'm like the great buster of chills in America. Because you go into a room the room's like excited and and we're going to sign in a few minutes. You got a lot of people talking. It's so much fun. And then then I'll walk in. Shh. You just made everybody uncomfortable. They were even like talking. It's like you shouldn't even come in. It's like who said people are talking and enjoying and being nice to each other. That's the biggest light in the world. I'd say maybe I'll say something that that will make more that they'll schmooze more after. So, then then maybe you're allowed to say shalom. I saw my father that he had a little his priorities were very strict. Incredibly strict. It's a person who used time like nobody I knew. Nobody is on time. He's punctual. What happened to me, we could talk a different time, but his punctuality, his time, his use of time is otherworldly. Crazy. But, he fit in the day his busiest years of his life was last two years. What he put in a day is not a It's not believable. But, calm. Personally, he was not stressed. He was just calm and present but his day was But, not nothing more than not nothing more. He's an old man. It's not like that's Sorry, I said old you you tell people that what he was when he was young. You should know. Back My brother was the same young guy. He He took us curling skiing for heaven's sake. He was No, he was just a young man. And I cannot what I want to say what I want to say man. I'm still with priorities. Yeah. Thank you very much. Come to tell us try this. But, my father taught had a priorities very straight. And with all this busyness for another year of simcha, another year he would go to every simcha. Went to every chasunah for a while, but he went nightly to simchas, many simchas, many nights. And my mother would not have grown up zero just like of course was like so smart for me. But, well like happy he went to chasunah for a while chaim. And nightly and with simcha rabba it was very clear what's better than make me get happy. He liked singers a lot. Performers were very big in his world. The soldiers, a soldier in Eretz Yisrael he was mechabed fighting for our people. >> [cough and clears throat] >> He was a soldier I saw in my life. Singers were a big thing, they make people happy. They were like a big thing came after where tiny a singer was mammoth big thing man. They sing for you and making happy is a big thing, it's a real thing, it's it's everything. So you come into a people like enjoying You don't get let's all get quiet and awkward. I don't know what they make it they say. They maybe they shouldn't get maybe the camera should talk. If you could say things that could facilitate more talking than talk maybe. But you didn't should talk. Should speak to each other, should encourage each other. Very well and starts with the whole mishpacha to talk to our wives, to talk to our wives. Encourage, speak, enjoy, be mesameach somebody, see somebody. Holy kodesh kodashim, holiest and that to talk to see see brothers in the chaburah and to talk to another Yid, to befriend another Yid, to speak, to encourage is is is holy. It's hard to think of a holier thing in the world. I don't know I don't know if there's a holier thing to be. To encourage another Yid is It's interesting to me that it say many it speaks about giving stock al menashe yichyeh beni. Does it say on any other mitzvah to do it al menashe yichyeh? Does it Do you ever see put on tfillin al menashe yichyeh beni? I'm asking. I'm not I'm not a I It's the chazal say you're allowed to give stocka on condition like ezkas hashem on condition something happens. I'm asking if it says it on any other mitzvah. I'm not telling you the pshat cuz I don't know. You have to research. You have to research that say it on any other mitzvah. I don't think on another mitzvah. It doesn't make sense to me. Hashem I put on tfillin if you tfillin is not from it's for us mitzvahs. The only one that you can say to him is good to that I can say for you God. Besides for you that it's good it's also good that cares about him too. Only I can verbalize to him
