[Music] He calls me, "I want you to come to the hotel on the states in 2 weeks or something. Uh, we're doing a bar mitzvah for orphans." I went and there's a tent and I see him holding a list and maybe there is a few hundred kids on this list. There's a few hundred names and every name is a family. And he gives the a bag and he opens the bag. There's a paraphilene inside. There's a sedor inside. There's a special gift inside. And then he gives a a word of to the family. And then we go a step further and we start. Okay. Now we take them from the kota plaza and we start walking to the actual kota where we pray or we don't just walk. We were dancing. We had guitarists. We had music. And there's maybe 10 or 12 tables with a sephorra on each one. And we sit there and we start putting on one and then the other. Their day was planned. There's this is the morning and then in the afternoon or late afternoon they had a whole party and they hundreds of kids with food with drinks with music with everything. Just what Kabad is is doing is they're saying to them you're not alone. It's something that is is amazing. There's no there's no words to describe the work that these guys are doing. This past spring, my family and I had the opportunity to go to Israel for my nephew's bar mitzvah. During the bar mitzvah, we went to Kabad as part of our hes mission on the trip. Arrive by bus. We were about 50 people. We show up to this facility and they give us a beautiful speech about what they do. And we go into this facility and we start packing food for those in need. from the 2-year-olds to the 80-year-olds, everybody was involved. Everybody, you know, really enjoyed what they were doing. And quite frankly, I think we were there for like 2 hours and nobody wanted to stop. We packed peas, we packed corn, we packed wheat, we packed barley. These families don't have anything in their pantry. Since October 7th, it's so important to show our brothers and sisters in Israel that us here in America are here for them. This is our way of giving back to them, to them to feel that we're part of them. >> People need these basics now more than ever. And this war has been going on for a long time and people are in need. And this organization stepped up and and is filling that filling that need. I was there with my son Eddie and we got to really share a bond doing hassa together, packing the bags together, packing the food together, putting the labels on and each label gave us opportunity to express our love. We got to write little notes of encouragement to them to get to see what Kal Kabad is all about. It's really it's not just a simple organization. It's a massive organization. It was amazing to see firsthand everything that they did. Kel Habad. What an experience. >> The next time you're in Israel, I highly recommend you going to this facility. See what it's about. You'll enjoy it. Um, not only send money cuz they need it. Roll up your sleeves and go help. You will not be disappointed. [Music]
