the 1980's the a good had Center abundant to Russia to bring in smuggle in some religious articles filling sits his mezuzahs they would tie up the boxes with the film straps or it's true hood sits the strings then when they got to Russia they would cut it down to size and they make him to propertis or to the profits fill and make sure him under to fill and everything and they would have some parties quietly done incandescently in the basement of some people they bring in children over there and adults and to get make it into a festive mood they would go ahead and they would sing one of the songs they sang one day there's a hey Nicole base is strong how brothers base is strong in the house of Jews understood about sermon Shiva while given over together captivity I ain't in being the young man very much chef should have mercy on them and one of their button turned to uh one of the children that said you know every time I sing the song I think about you the hardships that you're going through living over here in Russia you have no religious freedom but I want to ask you a question what do you think about when you say it and he turned to him and he said you know rabbi I think about the Jews in America who don't even realize what persecution they're going to I feel bad for you we understand that we're living gulleson and exiled and would being persecuted I feel more sorry for you because you're going through a religious persecution look how many people in America are going off to Dera look how the intermarriage rate is look how many people are going ahead and falling by the side into marriage you're worried about us we know that we have a problem you have a bigger problem because you don't realize that you have a problem you think us you could wear your yarmulke and it sits us out put on tefillin you don't have a problem you have a bigger problem you have a spiritual problem you don't realize that so many people are being caught up in the environment that's going on and falling off you think you're not being oppressed because you're able to do whatever you want you think that's good sometimes it's terrible see what it's bringing to the children in America see any people who are at risk who are going love the devil because they have that spiritual freedom freedom it really isn't it's the biggest oppression you can have I feel big for you and I say hey Nicole bases strong I feel bad that you realize even that you're being depressed it opened up my eyes to start thinking if it's really true and it really is we really are being that we're living in a country that we do we could do whatever we want there's no religious freedom it's not that's not called religious freedom it's letting us be free but it's not guarding us in the darkness in the past to go ahead and become bigger and better Jews it's taking us into an abyss it's taking us into not having to conform not having to think and just doing whatever we want to do Nora they put a lot of work into going ahead and reaching out to these people who have fallen by the wayside the way we inspire other people is the way we reach out to the fry II people is by going and showing them the love that we have for them I've been in orbit for the last two years and I've been there almost every holiday every hunt if I was in the for Hanukkah I've been there for suckers I've been there for Pesach I've been there for this awesome weekend's I haven't met such a giving organization before in my life two tens and tens of thousands of dollars that are going in by a trouble vino the way he was Makara people was he sad and he invited them in he did our cluster circle doing charitable acts with them and slowly being makar of them and that's what he did and he's very very successful because people saw the obvious Roth is sort of album the true love and slowly inspired them to become bigger and better people two years ago I met up with Laura long story have we won't go there and they wanted me a job there and I said let me go even though in the back of my head all that was gonna be another one these organizations was just there's a lot of pump and that that bad and they don't do anything about it they're not gonna follow through I was so impressed I can't begin to tell you with the tremendous amount of love that refinements the head of the organization how he inspired tens and tens of yeshiva bokram to go ahead and to follow on his ways and to reach out but not just reach out only giving them the food and the candy and the toys which is also very important to get them to want to come but the program is set up in a way which hands-down is nobody to disagree with the mihalick with the pair they go on which is Tyra and Tyra and Tyra and more Tyra and only Tyra slowly to get to Kendall luck involved learning with tour mates by the chill zone having weekends for men and the whole theme is Tyra and Tyra and Tyra inspirational speakers to get them to learn having a woman's weekend getting the ladies to go ahead and to come and to make sure that they understand what the toy is and to affect it to the daily lives and to be an inspiration for the children further and further and further I was there for this pants circus they must have gone through 1300 people first weekend there were like 500 people for a certain group of people the Shabbos table might was for
