Hey guys, what's going on? I'm walking
down the Mill now. I got two interesting
things uh that I'm doing today. Uh they
contacted our network and I've been uh
invited to speak to uh two groups. One,
it's a group from America, a bunch of
non-Jews. And the next is a group from
China that want to learn about Judaism.
Oh, here's my group, Holy Gentiles.
Hey, how are you guys? Look. Oh my
goodness. All right, here we are with
everyone. We're going to be right back.
So, uh I just finished talking to that
group from Colorado. We were outside the
old city walls and it was beautiful and
it was awesome. And now I'm driving to
Tel Aviv University to go meet this
Chinese delegation of businessmen that
are coming to learn about the Jewish
ideas that shape the Jewish mind that
allow us to be so innovative and
creative. And Chinese are buying up
Israel. They just bought Ahava hand
products from the Dead Sea. They're
buying up everything. They they're like
investing billions of dollars into
Israel and these businessmen want to
understand how is it that China with a
billion people have like almost no
innovation. They're very good at copying
innovation and making it there on their
own. But to actually come up with the
original idea of Facebook, of Google, of
Dell computers, of Microsoft CEO and
just like constant constant innovation.
What is it about the Torah that shapes
the Jewish mind that allows Jews to be
so successful in almost every field
possible? And you could be saying, "But
Rabbi Jeremy, I don't you're not at the
farm right now. Why are you even talking
to us? You're driving to Tel Aviv." And
let me tell you, that really is the
ultimate mission of the farm. The Jews
are not meant to just be Jews talking to
Jews and our Jewish day schools talking
to more Jews. That will just be Jews
talking to Jews. That is one stage of
Jewish history. And that's the stage of
Jewish history when we're scattered
around the world, we got to hunker down
and just stay Jewish. But when we start
building up our land
again, so the Torah says that nations
will come to Israel to learn of the
wisdom of the Jews. And so the heart and
soul of the farm isn't just to be a
Jewish place. It's meant to be a Jewish
place that's a light to the entire
world. And so now we had a group from
Colorado and they're coming to the farm
next week. And now we have a group from
China and the nations are coming to
Israel to learn the secret of the Jews.
And that is the heart and soul of what
this farm is that in the mountains of
Judea to be a light to the entire world.
All right, folks. That's it for today.
I'm going to take another video of the
Chinese people at Tel Aviv University
and uh just to show you what they look
like. And when I stand in the room, they
all stand up and bow. That's pretty
awesome. I wish Jews did that. Stand up
and bowed. We shake hands. I think
bowing is cooler. It's like kung fu zen.
It's awesome.
