AB say you know the Army is using a lot
of dogs dogs the dogs go in first either
they explode and save our soldiers they
sniff to find bombs they try to bite and
attack the terrorist we use them a
lot so there are two dogs one saved
three Jewish soldiers and one saved two
one survived and one
died is there a to the
dogs we have three questions here really
first of all is there a to the dogs that
survived is there a to the dog that died
and do you need to bury it say
kadish and they did such a good service
especially the one that died should we
change the name of this Shool or open up
a new
Shool Max Rover or Bella or whatever the
common next Hebrew it's Muki or Shi or
cooki I don't know what they was today
for the
dogs what do you say let's start with a
dog that survived is
there the animals there
is but we have that P what about PES
night dogs the dogs didn't bark and
therefore what did they get in
return what do they
[Applause]
get
throw it to the dogs why says rash over
there to teach you that
not rewards every creature in this world
including dogs there is
a FR and the one
fr the
frogs they learn from the frogs do we
give them appreciation do we show them
appreciation other the fact that they're
now a role model of missish where do you
see that they actually did something for
them we do appreciate what they did of
course you appreciate we learned from
that but we actually did something for
them here we give them
food
there
fascinating a big came to town and he
was hosted by someone he opened up a big
table everybody in town came he put the
at the head of the table and he sat
right next to him Miss
dog says to the owner of the house
you're trying to disgrace me why are you
putting a dog next to me what did I do
wrong to you you don't even know me why
youing
me and the guy says no no no would never
do that to you but last week there was
an armed robbery here and the attackers
came at my wife and this
dog he jumped at the attackers and he
saved my wife's life
and the doesn't make fun of this it
sounds it's legitimate you're giving
appreciation to the dog you see there's
no problem why is the k a dog called K
in Hebrew there's no it's not an
arbitrary language everything has a
source everything has a meaning the
mign says
is he is all hard because he is loyal to
his
master so appreciation for live animals
for those
seems no
problem what about the dog that didn't
make it kades for the dog that
died
put what do you say and if so what do
you want to write in it the what are you
going to write in it you're saying no
it's just
no-brainer he doesn't have an a sh man
therefore would you
say things that do for
okay same page on the Yi same page
another M Shepherds milked a cow they
wanted to drink the milk they left for 5
minutes they came back they're about to
drink when they were gone a snake came
drank some of the milk and put its
poison there the dog saw it the
Shepherds didn't so the dog starts
barking like crazy but they don't know
the Barking language of the so what's
wrong with you and they're about to
reach for the milk and the dog saw it so
the dog jumps at the milk he drinks and
shortly after within a few seconds it
dies it's he saved the shepherd's lives
the says they put they buried it they
put a and they wrote on
it because does not have like you said
and therefore there's no to say kadish
you're not going to elevate something
that doesn't exist kades is supposed to
elevate
if he doesn't have it stops right there
but they did they didn't write a didn't
write they put a graestone and they put
on
it talk about no so there is
appreciation to a live dog if you want
to put a maybe you can I don't know what
it's going to do definitely no kadish
but can we open
up what do you call him Rover Rover is
shes
Rover what do you say what you
say I I would say no no no
because I understand but it be very
funny I mean would be so we laugh very
good RA would open up every year ra
would always say a joke and then he
would start learning so you come in you
laugh and he start
learning someone is a millionaire says I
want to dedicate this to my my father
and the father was a big big Russ can
name that name is the father walking on
all fours
no it's the only time I think in ch
appears I think he appears twice in Yi
what's to what a funny name t is a to T
is a and shein switch off in arican
Hebrew it's a bull what was his
grandfather thinking naming his father
sh the son of a bull what does that
mean there was a who owned a bull and it
worked for it everything it worked for
him everything was fine but it became
very poor he had to sell it
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday sold it
to aoy and everything's fine shabis the
animal sits down doesn't want to work
the AO runs back to the says what did
you sell me it's a piece of garbage it
doesn't work I want my money back the
says wa wait a second wait wait he goes
to the Bull's ear and he whispers listen
until now you were owned by Me by a Jew
we don't work on shop it's not our
animals as well but now you owned by a
go you can get up and start working the
animal gets up starts
working the go was so impressed an
animal knows it seven days six days
created the world seven he rested and I
don't he converted he called himself
yanan and he says why did I convert I
was inspired by the shore so I am the
son of the
shore have a new life
now I'm a new entity so therefore he
called
himself you see you can name a person
for a show why can't we name the best
med maybe there's a simple solution we
could call
the but there's many Club him around he
wants to make sure it's Rover everybody
knows it's
Rover but maybe there's a difference
between a cow a bll a kosher animal and
a non- kosher one why Kish when he was
to say there was a dog in his house once
he wanted to say get it out he wouldn't
say get the K out you don't say
something which is tummy he said get the
cuff l b out of my
house they asked him you can't say the
word dog what's the problem he pointed
to it says the most tedic an animal
there is is the dog I don't know what it
means the most T because once what's the
difference between a horse or a dog
they're both says the the most T animal
is the dog why because says I want it
out of my
house don't bring the dog or its
substitutes as a Corban to hasem you can
sell your horse and buy a Corban with
that money you can't do that with a dog
why says I want out of here it's the
most disgusting the
says the
three the most of the is the
is however we do find that is also
pretty gets rewarded
in we learn that there's a mitvah
why D the dkey because the dunkeys
assisted CL so each one of them had 90
Libyan dunkeys the best dunkeys at the
time carrying their silver and gold so
rewards every single animal you help my
people I'll give you a Mitzvah and you
get
even it's a to call the for the dog's
name but if this is going to increase
more T learning in the world let it be
with time hopefully we'll teach them
that can be maybe we should change the
name for the those soldiers that died on
that be a little better but until they
figure that one out we should allow it
it could be that this dog is a Gil of
somebody else from previous uh round and
he came just to rectify and complete his
TI and that's why it had to go this way
but this you have to turn into the MIM I
don't know
