What Keith Siegel Taught Us | Rabbi Daniel Kalish

I appreciate a lot competence doing things well anything you do do well do well with thought I was very impressed myi ran in Yesa as a mus at those Beast game or I litzman game and it was done well it was s out we had a who spoke and things were like exact 100 guys to 70 and everything was like very thought out how it would look I like when things when things are done with a lot with thought in all different areas of life that people are planned and thought and work through and have a plan that I appreciate things done like that and in general people could could do things well and to do something very well appreciate one of the things that successful people do and R Overlander Overlander when we ran the is together was very good at this right Brownstein's very good at this is after we run an event besides before you run an event after you run an event you analyze what happened what worked what didn't work that's what successful people do and that enables you to run the next event better so you make a beautiful chabas and you put a lot of effort it's sometimes hard for me right Overlander right after we would make a shabas every year for years right after shabas he wanted to sit down to discuss what went well what didn't and it was hard for me I just put in a lot over the chabas and it wasn't so easy but I like it that he was very organized and he wants it to be good so there's a plan there's a to sit down he would want to ride away talk about it Ry Brownstein does that Brownstein is very careful that we run something to ask what didn't work what could we do better after sulam he thinks over what worked what didn't work how could we do it better so that's like a natural thing that people do organized people do there's a there's a version of this that I'm a little bit allergic to there's a lot of commissions guys that isra Israel is running to figure out what were the things that allowed for October 7 to happen What were the failures where was the IDF and and these are inquiries now I am not challenging that it's done because in the world of isad there's such in the world of efforts they want to figure out what could we do better next time and there is such a world of but I want to tell you I have been very much paying attention obvious like all of Cl were paying attention to what's going on in there and I'm reading about the hostages and and daving and trying to I'm involved I'm it's on my mind obviously I have not read one article anytime I see the headline on these inquiries and they're coming out now with studies with reports of what went wrong I haven't read one article if I see that as the heading of the article I read the next article now why is that bad they're just or I don't think it's our and there's a certain I don't want to say arrogance because as a America after 911 so America had to ask how did how did this happen and there's room for such an inquiry but any thinking person knows these events are from Hashem they're bigger than us it doesn't mean you shouldn't do an inquiry by the way it doesn't mean it shouldn't be done it's not our of course somebody who has a has to ask what could we do but also you have have a deep understanding that Hashem runs the world and we're in his hands and there's a certain amuna Faith that's a truth what we done why runs the world now again somebody has to do that's normal for somebody to say but what's our efforts but as as a member of CLA Isel I ignore these articles because our job is to know that theam runs the world a certain fith that certain things are bigger than us events so it's a tricky it's a tricky balance this par we're going to read the parik and ask I'm not going that's a good point ask they have their own inquiry what allows amalik to attack us oh sorry what allows what what did we do wrong that let them now kazal have a very different view than what was the security breakdown who didn't do their job well who done it kazal have much deeper eyes they have deep deep in their inquiry when they try to find out how it happen they have much deeper an much much deeper eyes and the caka writes attacks us in they attack us says the the are the same as pra perod same as perod separation and the caka writes that what allows our mik great to see what allows our Malik to attack us great to see a gers what allows our mik to attack says the caker is cl's divide the division what allows to attack us is division in our people they attacked us they attacked us in re means that what was existed by us is period separation division we were way too divided and that allows for amik to attack a matter of fact the gr writes in Evan that the of is that the root ofik is is division and cl where word divisive there there's room for that's a that type of eyes I like that's a deeper inquiry had it happen not a physical view it's it's bigger than us but spiritually how could such a thing be says the cleer when we have Peru that gives room and allows our mly to attack and we have Division I want to express something there's a beauty I'm going to tell you other one there's two reasons the first I'm just saying this reason this one I'm going to sh in a minute Yakov we have a beautiful thing in our people diversity diversity is wonderful we have laich satmer we have Ash beautiful it's like so different re Lish we have all different things excellent no amazing we have all different we have all different styles and that's wonderful we have Berlin Philly great great so nice it's really wonderful very important is not to take these man-made constructs different ways of serving hasem for sure wow but not to forget that deeper than all that there's something called the yid wow we're all very much connected we're y sometimes in our own it's wonderful to have but always the had to remember deeper if you're thinking is full of the whole is debates you now much to agree with each other you how much more they agree than they argue they both agree to if you ever find them you if you want do this with you should go through all the things they agree on it's like crazy it boils down to like a small and there's different ways but beide the amount of things that we agree on and the deepest space yet is Y and Y a mik flourishes when there's division in our people we don't recognize Y and when there's perod I want to share with you I want to share with you an incredible and share as follows the the gar says that we only have a to wipe out Malik after we have a if we have no King we have no to that's why is there tul why is wiping out a mik t and AEL why is dependent on a king what do you need a king for to wipe mik now you could TAA that without a king we don't have an army but then say say when if we have an army if we if it's it's depend on a king we have a king we wipe the job of a m is to give a space to everybody in his kingdom that's why does it gives us space every is an means there means there's a task for him he has a space in the Mal the job of a is to be is to unify it says about the job of a m is to give space to every single person that's the job of Mel I have a pet thing that bothers me I have something that bothers me if we ever ask kids to do things and we if you ask your child write down this and you don't give him a pen that bothers me how could you tell him right he has no pen to write it bothers me when we demand things and we don't give the tools to do those things I have seen environments that we demand from people to get along why don't you all get along do you know if there's not space could you imagine a law school where everybody competes grades some law schools work that only the top third of the class graduates so if he does well it's bad for me if I do well it's bad for him you can't ask people to get along then he's my enemy D him for the other guy to do well no if he does well it's bad for me so don't ask for Unity you set up that everybody's competing if you have an environment that there's not space for every single person stop asking for Unity if there's the Spitz guy the he's the best guy that is number two number three number please stop asking for Unity in your environment if you rate people and it's the best and you're all competing to be him to be him so then stop asking for Unity knock it off it bothers me a lot an environment that doesn't have space for people stop asking people to get along it's like so silly you're being silly you want people to get along but there's no tools to get along that compete in to be him if there's space for every person each each so then in that place you could ask people to get along the job of malus is the space for every single person in the malus is about division about period about separation of there's not room for everybody you only have a to eradicate you only have the possibility of eradicating a if you have a if you have a mat with a space for every single person so then and only then could you eradicate but that's the necessary if there's a m so there's space for every single person then I want to make a claim guys anybody could study M and I spoke about this you could study Durham the Scher is what it means it's crazy what it means for y theer it's crazy guys in the door M told me guys in the door say m make sure I'm here I hear the Scher but she was thinking you're not like running for too much amazing how many guys want to hear the shaer it's remarkable somebody could study it I think I wonder to myself what's this that the shaer captures y little children are excited about the Sher theer is is the Hashem the m and the invitation and ask to be m means and says to a you have a space in this Mal there's room for you being invited whichever year is asked to be means you have a space that's what it means a there space for each person so of course responds to theer it says there's room for the yid wherever there's room for us there we show up people ask what's Dam what's water what is it I just came back with SCH what's Waterberry there space for people the space for people there's really space for people real there's space for a person a person can come and there's Mish space for you says says that's why when there's a Mel then you can eradicate I'm if there's space for the entirety of our people in that space you could fight if there's no M there's no space for every there's no Mal so then you can't eradicate you don't have the C toik survives and thrives on period on separation of our people on division when we're not M and Y I connect to you I relate to you to when we're not mocking that space and then there's Division I was go with schlomo with Yehuda with iron smilowitz with Mo meller we we was to go travel a group of friends we was to go to Cleveland and we met many hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Yen and we felt like could say we all felt like very connected all the from different yes different types different backgrounds we felt very very close to hi it's interesting the says when Esther wants to defeat hesik amik thrives on division of Y separation what does H say about the Jewish people that word separate that same word with there there's division in clel they're right to attack what does esthera say when she wants her and mor to defend our people gather them together the says the way to defeat GA them together I sat on the plane to Cleveland the whole reason we going to Cleveland yid I sat next to David another yid we were we were two musicians I was carrying around the guitar so I was acting like a musician my my friendship with Yuda with scha lets me dream that I'm some sort of musician I'm friends I'm a and I'm friends with musicians so Anda I was next to David and he was a musician also but it was too to we were pal we M we flew to Z and me and David to Cleveland not to to to create connection I shouldn't say to create it's an EMS it's a truth I told the I've said this a lot here that Keith seagull Keith seagull was making he was making I found out the story Keith seagull in in captivity in Gaza started it means something it hit him it means something he started but he didn't know what to do with it what do I do with that he he felt it means something he was literally to the tour it's amazing he's to theour he felt he was a and didn't know what to do with comes Hamas and Hamas made him watch a video there was a news Broad and 10 soldiers were and aass wanted Keith seagull they wanted to heard a yid they wanted to start up with a yid and they made him watch the video to suggest to see 10 yid that 10 y were and to to suggest that the yid were losing the he's in captivity I knew nothing what's going on and they made him watch this video somehow on the video some y made him a zus I don't know who I don't know if the newscaster or if it was like ran I don't know who he watching television they did it to to terrorize Keith seagull and somehow he heard misus and he found it he's like I'm a I should makeus the tour says that a bris marks that I'm a and we're the nation whose thanks that's what it means to be a right that the very name says means to be our very name is we're thank we're we're thankor amazing Keith SE figured it out so he started making a Maus every drink he took in gazi he made a Maus said and he drank and he ate everything he ate and drank he made him a zus I heard Keith seagull say this he ate and drank he made him a zus Keith seagull's misus there the Hamas guy says to Keith seagull when he makes misus he says if Keith seal didn't say what he said back the guy said but I want Keith sigle is to say re you taught me you awakened like different C he didn't know I'm a what he mean and he started and Keith SE started making I want to make I been trying to make better bras from Keith seagull Keith seagull's me I learned about a yid when a yid was like Stripped Away of a lot of nonsense you know what I want to make thank he said a mean something to be said to and says this that to fight functions and flourish that's the amalik inquiry what allows amalik to flourish is perod amongst to we get two caught up in differences we get two devices with each other this type it's good we have different types be laich proudly be sat proudly be be Lish proudly excellent excellent but also see deep Yi don't just see another it means something it it says something it's it's it's a Prof it's something it's the deepest space inside of us yeah so what does says to F the Y together bring them together create a Unity create a Oneness in our people you create a unity in our people a Oneness in our people in that setting we could defeat with that background that's the inquiry that's what caker's inquiry into what allows for a mik is period what allows for the feed of amik is the togetherness of yid so I I I wanted to I want to share this with the guys here I happen to love going to environments there's certain shs around our people that unite y there shes in different communities I don't want to speak I'm not going to give like the ratings of shs every sho's a special place but I have a tremendous for yes and shs and environments that like break a certain barrier that just say here a is wanted I've said many times ISS wanted I love the shoes and environment around our people that just say here you're a yid you're like you're one of us I'll tell you something funny a guy was telling me in his community in ER that were shs one was called they called them there was a name for it for like the of Mir was one sh alumni of pich was another sh there were beautiful shs in K it's beautiful city in very City and there was like a sh there was a name for it in Hebrew like the alumni of beautiful Yesa the alumni of the alumni of pich or bris and beautiful shs so a guy told me in my sh a guy told me this in say those shs who all precious it's beautiful makes a sh is something beautiful to Great yes the great P but a guy told me my is here all those who left Egypt it's all like he had this he used the same word like I think they call bogre there was like a name for the graduates he said these are the graduates who left Egypt want it's not to knock the sh of the D in that that's users all good all good as long as we also see that there's something called we see that there's something deeper that unites us and binds us that we're people graduated excellent and that we celebrate it we're proud that us us briskers us Meers us pichers us beautiful but deeper yet deeper yet is us that that bonds us and unites us and relates us and connects us in a deep way that's what said that's said is the m that allows for um the defeat of of amik so I wanted to share this with the we're going to a as a Mitzvah to remember what aik did to us I think the inquiry turns up also what allowed aik to do PR periods differentiation separation too much unrelated to each other for superficial reading reasons if we could see deeper and see better see that's a space that allows for the defeat of amik it's interesting I want to say like we to go around Aaron mo mo Muller we was to go around the amount that we are similar when you see hiden in different communities from different backgrounds the amount that were similar is started in our differences are subtle are small and and it's beautiful that there's different ways to serve hem is beautiful but when you when you when you when you really when you just connect and see with better you see our similarities are so deep and run so deep we have so much to to share and connect over and connect with and to bond with that's what you end up finding when you go with we sing in yes we sing the n a lot what had very good people have are very physical eyes somebody was talking to showing me was telling me in about about like deeper eyes more profound eyes beautiful eyes if you have very superficial eyes you all you could see is categories of Y this yamaka that type of P that's very superficial eyes this type of suit what color suit the guy wears if you have you have deep the had beautiful he was a he saw he saw for what a is he appreciated a yid eventually what he saw in the yid the yid was able to see in the yid yep but that's my hope is that my says to turn a lot of your Ty into a my is that should give us all we want to eradicate our mik and forces that operate when there's division in our people hasem should give us all to see ourselves as a and to see somebody else there tremendous amounts to learn from him hem should give us all very good name should we right here and now what what do you say I think that's not a reason yeah much better I'll tell you what I want to do I'll tell you what but I want I tell you why I'm doing it now why why are we sitting I if the guys are ask him to me listen if everybody could listen today is Wednesday March 5th and perm is not the next week Friday so really we could wait further we could do closer to him learn I want guys to start preparing and thinking about now I don't want to it bothers me mitz to me the Mitzvah sh is like wow it's from my favorite Mitzvah around it bothers me a guy wakes upah he did the mitvah he's on he's drunk in a car he didn't give any sh so he has like a he has a candy and something else he gives to his friend he back it bothers me that the guy didn't prepare his mitvah to me a guy gives give for your flare your style your connection a Mitzvah we're born for Mitzvah a guy should do in a beautiful life and should give the Mitzvah so I asked REI to give us the to start preparing so guys could think about it there four Mitzvah like I said there are four Mitzvah to think about on is one mitah have to think about by night and by day there and what that obligation is gifts to a poor person to poor people I should say plural and M party including drinking it's those are the fourz that thinks about I asked to prepare to share with us the basic it will not be long 15 20 minutes bem it's 3:5 over 20 minutes but I ask to share with the some of the that the guys can um we'll start at least for 20 minutes now that we can

to introduce us to some of the H that are coming fast upon us
