just last
week a young woman stood up in
public and she related the following
story
I work as a resource room teacher with
children who have learning
disabilities a few years ago a young boy
began taking lessons for the first time
in my resource
room but I simply couldn't figure out
why he was there while he came to seek
my help he
clearly had no difficulty whatsoever
with his
lessons he did well on all his tests
there I stood perplexed what is this boy
doing in my resource
room yeah time after
time he consistently came to the
resource room for his lessons and I was
determined to find his area of weakness
but try as I
might my attempts were
unsuccessful I tried diligently to
locate a disability on his part but the
upshot remain Ed that there was
none finally out of frustration I took
this young boy aside and I told him that
I simply cannot continue giving any
lessons it was a waste of his time and a
waste of his parents hard-earned
money he certainly did not require any
remedial
help so the boy then turned to
me he looked into my eyes and he says I
have something to tell
you but I ask please do not relate this
to anybody
else you see I have a friend a close
friend of
mine who does indeed have a learning
disability our teacher told him that he
needed remedial classes in the resource
room but he was so embarrassed to be
singled out that I went over to my
friend and I told him it's no big deal
I'll tell you what Yakov I will take
these classes with
you I don't want you to be alone in that
resource
room and that is
why dear teacher I am here in the room
so that my friend will not be
embarrassed the boy who came to my class
who is not to embarrass his friend was
none
other than gillad shaar hasem
a m 10 years old at the
time here we are together at the outset
of the three weeks the May I'm
Ator and we've come together this
evening on shivas
Sarat number one
it's for those
three that Trio of special
we're here tonight because we're letting
them know we're letting their families
know we're letting ourselves know we're
letting God's clients all know that we
will never ever forget
you you will never leave our
memory and in light of the current
difficulty mat Sol the present crisis in
Earth
and
Beyond we're here to show a display of
ausus within the community Aus that we
[Music]
feel we're here
for and the world
over was at
a on Sunday night I was
speaking with a colleague ralisha
harowitz
and he mentioned that just recently he
was speaking with ANM gold
and the odm goo approached that famous
question that's been bandied about for
the last couple of weeks why is it that
the abist kept these boys unknown to the
world for 18
days why did it take so long Israeli
intelligence a shinb and a police force
sah why couldn't they find them clearly
hash had ordained that such would not be
the case until the time came
at the close of 18-day waiting
period And clearly one of the primary
reasons was because the AER wanted our
FIS the people then responded and said
what do you mean FIS we D so hard
diligently incessantly for period of 18
days and we were the answers to those
Phillis the boys had been murdered weeks
before and thiso said but how do we
know that maybe a k
had decreed in His Infinite Wisdom
Cavo that clo needed to get together and
Davin collectively in unison and harmony
for a period of 18 days and all the re
and theis and theim and the Miran mitas
to now performed by so many the world
over maybe Hashem said I needed to
deserve because there's going to be a
missile crisis that will follow so soon
in its aftermath and you need protection
you need to be shielded well you've got
it because you've DED for 18
days and Hashem has saved those potent
fsts to be the true metaphysical Iron
Dome that is
shielded will continue to shield and
protect so we can experience
collectively Yeshua
gures so the says that's the in the
[Music]
we have things in the world that are in
the heavens up high and yet people
ridicule and they mock them and rash
says
explain because we Dove and we do in and
sometimes we say say Hashem where's the
answer we want our answers where are
they Shem says I'm keeping those
precious sacred filis with me in
proximity to theum shal in the heavens
above and I'll shower them I'll
reciprocate accordingly in the right
time when you need them when you have a
missile
crisis that's when I'll bring them down
from the heavens
above we're here to perpetuate the
memory of those three
Kad and we're here to show a display
of and to continue
theas to continue the
zos and to bring about yeshu and Simas
and like to just take a moment to thank
and acknowledge the support the
cooperation this event cannot have taken
place this evening without my dear
friend and colleague RAB Bor bender and
the Aza community resource center with
us every step of the way as well as
thanking the audas Y of America the
Orthodox Union charmal Caterers Herman
Brothers Productions and congregation M
yesu and in tenek New
Jersey and of course to thank each and
every one of you for coming out in the
inclement weather coming out
forus to help bring about once and for
all Mash
like to Now call
upon Rabbi Steven
wild senior managing director of the
Orthodox Union who came in to share with
us this
evening it's a zus and it's a cover
please give your ears to Rabbi
W thank you RAB Miner Bish the rash
Shiva the rash K Bish the
ranim you know in the aftermath of May
and June of 1096 when we lost probably a
third of ashkanazi jewelry unlike under
godfre of bullon where the French were
going to the Middle East the people's
Crusade started and they traveled along
the ryin river and they butchered spes
mines and worms Regensburg as well as a
number of German Villages and literally
deutan Germany became uden R had it not
been for the fact that the Jews of tuah
the French Jews brought the wunderkin
they brought their Wonder child back
home after learning in mines and worms
the whole Miss would have been
annihilated destroyed and it was Rashi
through those talmidim that ultimately
perpetuated
arasur in the Jews of Ashan asra
foron what did they do they instituted
they changed the
whole they used to we as ashm used to
observe like the from the beginning
of but we changed it we started with
until why if the objective of the
spa was a veis for the
balamasa well our own Bal masora were
annihilated in
1096 but one thing they wanted to do
that they did not they wanted to
establish for Gans CLA Isel a day of
fasting and a day of
mourning and many of us are familiar
with the Kina the 25th Kina where they
the survivors of 1096 of Tatu of the
First Crusade they
say
Allan all tragedy all destruction that
fa is us
clel they don't doesn't live in a vacuum
it all stems
from and where do we mourn and where do
we fast for that event and for every
event this time of
year those of you who are learning the
do he wanted to establish the 10th of a
is a day of mourning that was a day of
to
destruction why did the Bal pluta the
other masters of the M they were kvea
Tish the ninth of
a because when Titus comes in with a
woman of ill repute and he slashes the
parus and he engages in a terrible
despicable act in The KES
kadash then it's no longer Bas alenu
then all it is is a piece of real estate
we don't mourn the destruction of Real
Estate what do we
mourn that relationship that intense
intimate relationship with the almighty
when the almighty left his
home that's what we mourn and that's
what we engage in this time of
year we are confronting as a
manifestation
of something that we pull our hair out I
mean we look at the world today we
develop missiles for what purpose to
save lives to prevent
destruction they developed missiles to
maim to butcher we had another Kos that
we lost
today to Butcher and Destroy human
lives you know Raphael who developed the
Iron Dome that you all read about those
people those Engineers many of them from
many of them not they literally took
three four years of their life after
what happened in the summer of
2006 and the they did the impossible it
was only Elon that they created this
Iron Dome and you should know the
ramifications of that many of their
personal lives were destroyed many of
their marriages ended in divorce they
lost relationships with their children
because they weren't there for three
four years of their children's lives but
they did this for a b
is we look today that we live through
the Ethiopian Jews it's the first time
in the history of animals of humanity
that blacks were taken out of Africa not
to be enslaved but to be
liberated today in Israel and it's a
problem there are still 50 thou
57,000 black Muslims from arria from the
Sudan the refugees why cuz their Arab
Muslim Brothers their Arab Muslim
cousins have persecuted them they came
to Libya the doors were locked they came
to Egypt Egypt would not allow them or
tolerate them who accepts them these
black Muslim refugees we
do precious tiny little
Israel the world doesn't see that
whether it's MSNBC whether it's the BBC
whether it's the halls of the United
Nations are they
blind do they not
understand this is all part of C
a world that does not have that in
Intimate
intense specific hash that we perceive
the almighty when Yona comes to the
mikdash he was a perfected human being
Yona but he attains
navua that whole experience we are
bereft of and what's our response to
that of course today we engage in
hasbara of course today we engage engage
in lobbying many of you here Yan
BR Rabbi Kish who has a specific
relationship with Senator Durban today
the Senate just passed over $600 million
is going towards Iron Dome and missile
defense so we do all of our
hisas for 12 years almost every month
I've been in Congress lobbying that's
all
important but the response to kashina is
to Sha
then starting today for the next three
weeks is
toua whether it's the gamorra that we
know that the that
created
was was that we would not
go one for the other we're all familiar
familiar with the garas and hanakan with
kamson barsa Josephus when he Chronicles
the fact that the Romans for 3 years see
jeruselam and it's like we in inside
nothing was going on we're busy having
Civil Wars this group has the outer city
this group has the Temple
Mount it's a time of
introspection it's a time not just to
cry not just to act and not just to
Davin and we do all of
that but we have tonight Russia Yeshiva
ranim like the gorra and the Mish and
Tanis they're going to share with us D
kin what's the the purpose of any tus

because we're here

times and to see an aifa like this to

and look out and see the masses who have
come together tonight and to know that

tonight when you come together it's a
very special thing
I'll never forget my first Convention of
a at that time my dear friend
y approached me and asked me if I would
be interested I was working at a law
firm at the time Midtown Manhattan he
asked me if I would be interested in
joining
a and it was a few weeks before the
convention and I'd never been to an aoda
convention before and before I made my
decision I wanted to see what was like
and I remember sitting out there in the
audience on a Thursday
night and there on the
podium at the
de
is from
the from the Yesa
Shelt Rim ad rash
Yesa Sardi
ashkanazi and I looked around me and
there were several hundred people in the
audience
and I saw up hats and down hats and
black hats and gray hats and no
hats and
it occurred to me I don't can't say for
the first time in my life but it hit me
with a powerful
force that I was part of something much
larger than my own immediate
dadus I was part of
Claus and there on the they were talking
about problems
affecting challenges affecting the
community around the corner and around
the
globe yeen all over with issues and
problems
challenges yeen from all over getting
together to
listen to ranim from different
backgrounds we're all one
cl every shave it is its own shavit but
we're all one cl
that's what clenched it and here I am 30
years
later the p
saysed and when did this
occurs similarly in
the mean what's the
was whenu gathered together all the Jews
to tell them about the Bish that's when
he when he was adjudicating all of their
disputes why was this
on so I saw this KAS in the kar and
based on a different Kar that he says
somewhere else I'd like to offer the
following the G in
says there's a sto between
twoim on the one hand the
says whenever we call out to is close to
us but there's another and we just LED
it by
the look for hasem when he is available
accessible call out to him when he is
close it's masma from here that there
are times when he's not so accessible
when he may not be close a it
says when gathers together as a then
it's whenever we call out to he's close
to
us but when you're a then
it's when you're a singular human being
when you're by yourself then you have to
find the right moment when hasem is
close when is that says the G when is
that time when a can reach out to
because it's a time that hasem is close
to every single individual those are the
10 days between
and so now
it's the day after Yumer the time when
individuals on their own are able to
attain a certain closeness to has
passed what Didu do he called the Eden
together now we need to gather together
we can't afford to live on our own
little
Islands we're part of Cl and then will
listen there are disputes between
us that have to be adjudicated let's
settle those disputes let's resolve
those disputes let's create the
that can allow us to come together to
be so that we can
reach that's the special of coming
together as aor from all different
backgrounds putting aside differences
whatever they may
be and coming together so that we can be
to the closeness
to
the which is so precious and which is
which we so
we all desperately
need when we get together what is the
Milo of
this of course the fact rash says you
can't
compare right is a tremendous thing but
aside from that I think it's that
feeling that I felt at that first a
gooda
convention and it's the feeling that
every one of us should feel tonight
sitting in this audience looking at this
day a sense that we are all
CL that we're all 12
but we are all the same we are all
yeen and if we are part of one
Mish that means we have an Aras towards
one another it's a tremendously
uplifting feeling but it's also as I
said before
a it obligates us to recognize that we
are part part of the same Community the
same that because we have come together
Hashem is close to
us the ran says that from the great of
we're able to recognize the small
everyday perhaps the same is
true we're all facing now
challenges sorus what a horrible tragedy
we experienced with the loss of AAL and
gilad and
naali but as the r said
earlier just as Lenin says on the med
which
teaches brought closer
to by by chasing after the the
out and they felt closer to
if he brought us
closer so soin says we think that when
there's a so gathers together and we D
into
hasem the cause and effect is exactly
the
opposite he desperately wants to hear us
to to him that's the closeness that we
have toes through our so he brings the
Sor Upon Us precisely because he wants
us to D
perhaps he brought this sorrow upon us
because he wanted us to unite to bring
to come together to be to strengthen the
bonds that exist between us and cl
is and from these big
challenges let's recognize that there
are little challenges every single day
don't we all have those same CH
challenges whether they be shom or or
paros Oram or all of the different
things that every single one of us every
single family faces in our world
today May the akas that has been created
by this remarkable aifa tonight be a
special for us may we all grow from it
may we recognize that we are
indeed may look down upon all of
his May the three weeks be the time that
we cure the a that has been between us
and
just like to take a second on behalf of
the entire sh and I think I speak on
behalf of so many others as well just to
express to be Mia special aov to the SC
the white to
ra for having represented the sh the
community and going out to be M the
families sitting
sh not only to the families themselves
but in the heels of those very special
emails to sated the world over to so
many others without further Ado to
introduce rabar who will then be
introducing our special guest this
evening two weeks ago I spent an
incredibly inspiring and uplifting
chabas in mosab talmon it was a place I
had never been before but it was the
community of gillad shire's
family and it's a community I just want
to
introduce for a quick two minutes before
we have our guest
speaker I was blessed to have witnessed
firsthand that
chabas the unwavering strength and
steadfast
commitment of this grieving
Community I watched in absolute
awe their complete and unquestioned
acceptance of what the Ron had given
them in their lives and of his master
plan something at least for
myself I don't think about often
enough but after speaking with countless
members of that wonderful
Community it became clear and most
obvious to me that the incredible and
Noble communal mindset that they all
have is the product of the most profound
K that they've had over the last 20
years given to them by
raami Rami serves as the head of
M many of us may not know what it is but
it's an organization that deals with all
the current shilas that come up in the
mishar and figures out how to deal with
them in
a Savvy way he is a very well-known
M and a very close talet
of he has taught that community over the
last 20 plus
years and now by effect of this tragedy
he has taught the entire world and the
entire Jewish Community what it means to
be a True Believer what it means to be
an
absolute and most committed
M he taught all of us what it means to
care deeply about other people and to
understand the suffering that they are
going through and although Rami himself
currently has two sons who are on the
front lines in
Gaza who we should all continue to be
mpal for he has graciously agreed at
this troubling time for his family and
for all of his community to come and
give usuk and share his words with us
without further Ado I would like to
introduce Ram bryu to share a few words
