I promise you all sh over the next 35 40 minutes we're going to give you a program and there are going to be speakers that are going to blow you away. I have stood here before for Bonet Olam the Sphartic Division and I'm pleased and proud to sit here while I'm standing again tonight on behalf of Bam. Rabbi Bachnner, I know that he like other people in this tent do not want do not want praises. Do not want to be spoken about. But I must I must share with you that when you see Rabbi Bachnner, I want you to understand that if you want to see what it's like to be in the midst of a mala, a human that's an angel. You have your chance tonight. You will not get that chance often. because he is very Anav, very discreet and he's most of his year is beseted in secret because he does not want praises. He came here to this earth, not tonight, but to this earth for a job, for a mission, for something that you should never know and people should not have to need. But he is going to do everything together with Olam to help a woman to get what is the most precious thing that she could ever want in her life. I tell this to young ladies. You don't know what it's going to be like. I actually tell them, you think you were in love when you met Harry, but that was only a part of it. The real love is going to come when you bear a child. And I keep saying that to every young lady. But some of them are not as fortunate. Some of them are not as lucky. Some of them don't have that easy way that without the help of an angel to come and land in their lives and give them her and a husband that opportunity, that chance to have what I just shared with you is the greatest thing a young lady can ever want and have in her life a baby. And all we want to do is give our support, our community support to Bon Lam just for one thing. Rabbi Bachnner, keep doing what you're doing. Keep helping those people that land on your doorstep. Keep giving them a chance. Never stop. never give up until they get that dream that will change her and her husband's life. Thank you, Joe Mansaw. I call you Joe Mansaw Jr. All my life. You're looking at I'll share a secret. It won't be a secret in 30 seconds. Probably the hardest working man in Shadon. I'm not on the committee because you know about me. I'm not putting my name on any committees. But they will have my opinion. They will get my vote that a president in Shetion in the years to come, hopefully sooner than later, should be Joe. You're incredible. You're unbelievable. Sandy, where are you? Sandy Salem, let me get a wave. Thank you, Sandy Salem, for putting together this beautiful night, this beautiful dinner, Akimorei. And let's get started. I gave you my monologue and I prepared you because Avi wanted us to go and now we'll go faster. But he wanted us to go slow to go faster so that everybody that wants to be here could be here and we could sit down, buckle in and emotionally attach yourselves to everything I said about Rabbi Bakna, everything I said about Bolam. Yes, we are the Sephartic division. That's what we stand for. Claudia Avi, you don't know what it's like for me to come to your homes, Brooklyn, here, China, anywhere you tell me. Anyway you tell me. I hope you tell me to go to Sanrope and we're doing a fundraiser. But you're both incredible. You're unbelievable. There's this I don't know. There's there's this feeling that they ask you, but they don't really need to ask you because you're going to say yes. And I know that Rabbi Ozeri, who I love and you love, will attest to that. You make it easy to give charity, to give to help the needy, to help those that are less fortunate. And I've experienced it and I've watched how this young lady gives you the strength and that ability. Yes. Yes. Yes. I want the two of you to keep it up. I want you to keep doing what you're doing. just stay on this path. And I know because I sit somewhere there near there. It's not easy. It's difficult. And the yet har comes in our way sometimes. Don't open your house. Don't do that fundraiser. Don't give them that money. But you will not let him ever get in your way. You're there like I've never seen anybody for this community and we love you and we love your wife for that. Keep it up. Keep it up. I'd now not I' now would before I call up Rabbi Azeri who Ai's going to introduce I would now like to call up a man that I consider a dear dear friend somebody that I am so impressed by and so feeling that warmth for who he is and what he does and how he makes everyone feel. Ahulu [Applause] and then you got it. Oh, it's pretty hot. Sorry, no air conditioning. Thank you everyone for coming. Uh I'd like to first of all uh start by thanking a few people in particular first of all of course my wife like uh first of all thank you to Harry first of all uh introduction and God bless you. I don't know uh I was telling Harry and Rebi both I don't know how they do it they're everywhere somehow and involved in every single thing. So uh really thanks again for for coming and thank you for everything. Uh special thank you of course also first to my wife who never says no to anything. It could be a minute before Shabbat. I have 10 people coming. Not a problem. Any event open house never not even a challenge. Not only is it okay like she bring it on. She loves it. And uh it's never too much. Never uh never too much. And uh she loves doing it too. Whoever wants sleepover of course anytime. soldier, anyone, anyone. Open house all the time. Special thank you also to um Sandy Salem, Marilyn Harrari, and of course Joey Mansor for uh putting this together. Sorry, it's very hot over here. We need air conditioning. Uh it's funny, actually, um how things come around full circle. I was speaking with Aikiro last week and he told me I I sent him the event and he called me. He told me that the first event that they ever did for Bonam in the Syrian community was actually in this home 12 years ago which started and uh Rabbi Bachner didn't he wasn't sure when I told him he went outside the front like you're right this was the first house that we did it in. So 12 years later came back around yeah to the same house. Um so this organization is really uh very near and dear to my heart and uh about a little bit over three years ago a little bit over three years ago my good friend Yiddi uh my COO and good friend Yiddi Wzberger sitting over there came over to me and told me Avi there's this organization Bonet Olam like no no Yiddi please leave me alone Hatch I have enough I have my community leave I I can't I can't he said he said no no no AI you're going to want to get involved in this one you're going to love this one I said, "Okay, what?" He said, "Yidi knew that my mother is very close and dear to her to her in her heart. She always used to read Taleim every single day for Jewish couples to have uh kids uh every single day without fail. She read Taleim and that was uh like very that was probably her biggest thing that she held near and dear to her heart and uh she took it. So she loved kids, worked uh in playgroups for years with even my sister afterwards just to be around Jewish kids and gave it such nahhat and made us so happy seeing Jewish people. So I couldn't say no to it. And of course Yiddi pushed me pushed me a few times and thank God thanks to Yiddi I think we have we had three kids that we sponsor Hashem and uh thank you Yiddi and uh it's an amazing organization which is really means a lot to me. So a few actually the two days ago Sunday I was in my car with with Claudi. We had a drive, a long three-hour drive with our friends, uh, Mirin Allen, and we're going to a wedding three hours away. And I don't remember how it came up, but uh, we were talking about the Holocaust that six, it's crazy that six million Jews were killed. And the whole population right now of all the Jews in the world is 15 million people. And I was just doing a little quick numbers in my head. I said, you know, it's crazy. matter of six million people. Even if they four generations because about 80 years ago the Holocaust, if four generations later, even if every single person had two had two kids, it would have been 186 million Jewish people additional today. Additional 186 million people. If they had four four kids each, it would have been four generations later, two billion people today. 13,000 people plus that Bono Lam has. If I did a little bit of math over there, too. If they each had two kids 10 generations later, it would be eight, sorry, 26 million people, almost double the current additional people. That's almost double the current uh whole population of Jewish people worldwide. and 10 generations because it's like the you know like the number would you rather a penny first day for 30 days double each day or a million dollars it's the same exponentially grows so much it would be guess what after 10 generations each had four it would be 10 10 I'm sorry 18 billion people after 10 generations from 13,000 people so when you're sponsoring and helping this organization even if you have one kid it's not three kids. It's for eternity. And you're talking about the 13,000 people in within 10 generations of Zatashm that could be and it's only starting the organization uh growing so fast and uh that 13,000 people in 10 10 generations could reflect 18 billion Jews. So whatever you help this organization, you open your hearts and your pockets, help this organization, know it's not just for one child that you're sponsoring. it's the generations and to help counter the Holocaust and for the Jews to survive and thrive and 15 million Batashem should become billions within a few generations with all the all of the Oim having a lot of kids Jews and Rab Bachner helping as well and it's really an amazing thing that you're doing for generations to come not for just for tonight without further ado I'd like to call Rabbi Zeri our dear friend Rab Zeri uh somehow makes to everything again. I don't know how but uh thank you so much for coming. Thank you very much. Thank you. It says you're supposed to open up speaking about the host AI. Mr. Mrs. Avi Hulu, you never stop to amaze me. It's just unbelievable. Especially the last few years have you have come to the plate for every organization. Hashem should continue giving you wealth, health, happiness. Always a man. Let's begin with a little story. I don't know how many of you remember the old days when your parents gave birth. No man was allowed into the labor room. There was a waiting room and you just sat there and you waited for hours and hours for the doctor to come out to tell you what you had, a boy or a girl. Not only that, there was no sonograms. No one knew what they were having, a girl or a boy. Was a mystery. It was a suspense. Well, one day there was three men sitting in the waiting room waiting for their wives to give birth. And the first doctor comes out and he tells this man sitting there, "Congratulations, you had twins." He says, 'Oh, what a coincidence. I own the Twins baseball team. Very nice. The next doctor comes out and he says to the second fellow, "Congratulations. You had triplets." He says, "Oh, wow. I own the Three Musketeers candy bar company." The third person started running away. Said, "Where are you going?" He says, "I own Seven Up. I'm getting out of here." Okay, I will be very brief. As AI said, there was 13,000 babies born. And I'm sitting next to Rabbi Bachna here and I asked the rabbi, "What's the real number?" The exact number. He said, "13,790 babies." Okay, wonderful. How much has this costed you over the years? He thinks he thinks he's approximately $300 million. I don't know. Divide that up. 300 million into 13,370. Obby, maybe you could do the math. about $23,000 a baby. If you think about it, it's cheap. $23,000 a baby. Wow. I could own one of these babies for $23,000. It's absolutely amazing. I just want to tell you one thing. Rabbi Bachner is bringing the Mashiach. And I'll tell you why. Wait, let me tell you why. Then you could applaud. The says is not coming until the chest in heaven is emptied. There is a chest in heaven full of unborn souls. Unborn. Until every one of those are born, Mashiach is not coming. Rabbi Bachner is bringing the Mashiach closer every day, day in and day out. Rabbi Bachnner, you should beem to greet the Mashiach and how proud he will be of you because it's people like you that is bringing the Mashiach closer and closer. And ladies and gentlemen, for each and every one of you who came out on a night like tonight to support Bonam, each and every one of you deserve a baby, a baby, a grandchild, a great grandchild, whatever it is. May God bless each and every one of you. And we may we continue to help Rabbi Bachna till the coming of the Mashiach. Amen. [Applause] Byebye. After what I said, AI said, and Rabbi Zeri said, I am not going to introduce the next speaker, Rabbi Bachn. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Beautiful. Beautiful. There's a lot of electricity in this room. And as I'm as I'm looking around, I must say that God chose these few people in this room to be the shim to bring us so many babies in the safari community. Is all yours. It is so intense the work that goes in for each and every couple and so immense is the shayim. So I just want to make a little note before I begin to speak my few words. It's very different than all the years because wherever I travel I'm one man alone. I can stand by the mic and say whatever I want to say. This year it's quite different. I have my wife here. I have my boss over here and I have to be very very careful what I say. traveling home together for three hours. But she deserves all the credit because actually my wife, you should have everything. Harry, you should have everything. Hashem should give you everything. And um actually my wife deserves the credit because actually she was the founder of of Bonolum. I'm just being her helper, so to speak. But in any case, I really want to share something, a personal episode that I was one man alone involved with a family which I think we can learn a lot from that story. A very true story. I have a friend, a classmate. His first name is we grew up together. We played together and we became came to the age of marrying. He married a girl from Israel. He moved very successful person had a beautiful family and we stayed in touch here and there. One time I get a call from him and he says you know I have a family of children everybody is doing fine. I have next to the last my son next to the last of the family got married very brilliant boy by now I know him personally too and all of a sudden children were not coming all my kids have children and so we started going to doctors and lo and behold it was a very short journey we were told that our son unfortunately cannot father any children I know that you do you're involved in these in this area, how can you help me? So I always ask for the documentation, the paperwork. So I told him, you know, actually I think we have a solution. Your son needs this and this procedure which in those days I used to bring down from Cornell a team to by co all this stuff that changed. Now we're doing it actually with Israeli doctors and we're doing very well. I got him lined up in that procedure which in one week in four days Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, we treated 13 people and I pushed in his son to be one of the group. The night before the procedure, it's quite um a tough go through. It's a it's a very sensitive surgery. But also by that surgery, you find out if you're going to have children or if you're never going to have children. It's a make it or break it. So behem was already 5 in the morning. Bi was 11 at night and he calls me up and he says he was crying and I he says I I I'm so afraid all of a sudden I went into this fear. What if God forbid happens if my child is not going to be successful? What am I going to do? He's married as a young man. What's with the family? I won't be able I won't be able to. So I let him I let him vent and I told him listen is real. I got you into the best that's possible on the earth. This doctor is top. I slept him down from from America to he has a fantastic record. Now we have to have some Hashem is going to help out with except our fillers. He wasn't happy. So then he tells me you know it's going to sound funny to you because we're friends but may I ask you for abraa? So I started to laugh. come on by a man of I'm not I'm not a spiritual holy man. I'm just I try to do a few good things in life. He says no no no give me give me. So I told him is real. Listen to me very carefully. It's not my braha that works. It's the mitzvah itself which is so great. I mean I haven't met another human being that was to bring almost 14,000 children worldwide to clal. So it's the mitzvah. It's not the person is real. Listen to me. There's a sug Yeshua tomorrow. Sponsor another couple in that group. And that's is going to work for you because I've seen this work many many times. Hashem does not like when people worry only for themselves. We're all one. We all belong to the same Hashem. We all we're all one. Bottom line. I would our DNA is the same. Be smart. sponsor another couple and it's going to be his for your son. No sale. It didn't work. Okay. Just a suggestion. By Tuesday afternoon, I get my call. We put through 13 surgeries. So, there were winners and there were losers, unfortunately. And his son was one of the losers, unfortunately. He took it very, very, very hard. And I understand. And I took a heart too because he's a close friend of mine. And I what should I do? This is what happened. This is what happened. So he begged me if I can find out from the doctor if his son does stand another one chance to do it. So I did my inquiry. I did call up the surgeon himself. I'm quite close to him. He looked up the documentation. He said maybe, but we got we need at least two to three years for a healing process. So I called back. He says, "No, no, I can't wait two three years. stuck in it. Whatever. Two years passed. I said, "You know what? Let's do an ultrasound. Let's do a scan." Well, it was healed enough. The doctor's ready to do another try. I got him in again in the list. The night before calls me again. He says, "Listen to me. I've learned my lesson. My son is number seven. I want to sponsor number six. I want the the one right before my son. I should have this that that should work for my son. I just met his son three four weeks ago. Bashem he has five children today. From that one procedure from that one procedure he's doing very well today. He's a we call it in Hebrew a toeni. He's a lawyer in Bezdon. A brilliant brilliant brilliant boy. We learn from that. Everything in this world is calculated. There is somebody that controls everything about everybody and this is and you should know if you learn through all this beginning whatever you're going to learn it all always comes down to one point when stretches himself for another Jew this is what talks in shmayim the bottom line nobody asks you how much gamarra you learned how well you know the gamarra but standing up for another person is really what counts in shmayim So let me end up with one line and take that home with you. Man never knows to whom he says yes and never knows to whom he says no. This can hit so close to home. We would have thought differently when we are going to respond. Nobody knows where the yes goes and where the no goes. I can't thank you enough. You guys are enabling me to answer the calls of your community. And unfortunately, your community shares all the issues, all the problem that all the other communities share. It's not an easy job. I work 18, 20 hours a day. And this is for Cli. All I'm asking is please enable me to do my job that I do for Israel. All we should all be you all be able to rejoice with amen. [Applause] Wow. Joe Manso Jr. would like us to see a video and then we're going to call up Michelle Hadt, a dear friend, Jack's wife, Michelle. But let's watch the video. Rabbi and Rabbi Zeri, you touched our hearts and touched us. [Music] I got married at 18 years old like a new bride, excited to start my family. I fortunately got pregnant easily, had a beautiful son, always looking forward to having many more children. when I started to try to have my second child and after uh many months it did I was not able to conceive. I realized that something was wrong. I went to the doctor and we took um all kinds of tests and he recommended surgery to clear out the one blocked tube. I had one one tube that was healthy and one that was blocked. I had that surgery and tried to get pregnant again. And unfortunately, I was not able to get pregnant. At the time, all I could think about is okay, I I can't I have one child and I I always dreamed of having a big family. What am I going to do? I shared the story with my cousin that I was lost and I didn't know where to turn. I didn't know who to talk to. She introduced me to IVF. something that was very foreign to me, something that I never thought about, something actually that I had seen when I was much younger, at 14 years old. I remember seeing a on the cover of Time magazine uh a a baby in a test tube. That was the first IVF that was introduced, I guess, to the world. I had to take um shots every day. I remember feeling very um uncomfortable and emotional. There was nobody to talk to that could tell me you're going to be okay. This is what to expect. There is hope. There is future. There is no organizations like Bonolam that you could call, pick up a phone and say, "This is what I'm going through. Where do I go? Where do I who do I talk to? I was on my own. I was alone. Maybe I wouldn't have a family that I always dreamed of." I began the IVF and fortunately, I got pregnant the first time. But not everything goes as smoothly as planned. I actually had an ectopic pregnancy. So we went to the hospital and they had to take out my other tube. So now I had no tubes and less hope of getting pregnant. 3 months later I was able to start again. I got pregnant with my beautiful daughter. later on my son Charles, Kevin, Steven, Michael, Nathan, and now I'm blessed with my beautiful children. I remember which was so emotional waiting for that phone call whether I was going to be pregnant or not. I remember for so much for a long time the phone the sound of a telephone ring was like haunting to me because every time that telephone would ring I wasn't sure if they were going to tell me it worked or it didn't work. Throughout this journey my husband Jack was my partner and I could never do it without him. Thank you Jack. When I found out how much IVF cost, I was wondering how somebody who couldn't afford it would pay for it. And does that mean they decide that they can't have a family, that they they can't follow through with IVF? I was so grateful for Hashem's hand in all of this. And I know God gives you a journey to go through and I feel like my journey was to help and to encourage other people. We question why are we going through this? First and foremost, I believe that Hashem is always with us and to never give up on Hashem cuz he's never gives up on us. Technology and science is so advanced. Just know that to keep on trying and have amuna that Hashem wants you to have a family and if it's not this year, it'll be next year. Never give up. I can't even imagine how my journey would have been different if when I found out that I did have infertility, if I had somebody to go to, an organization to pick up a phone and say, "This is what I'm going through. Um, where do I go? who do I talk to? And now Bonolam is available and it's here for all of us for the community and they've worked tirelessly to help us to help the community to help women in need with questions. Bonolam also supports financial assistance which is tremendous part of the the journey which puts a lot of strain on the family on the couple. There isn't a price tag that you can put on having a child. So, if you can donate money to this organization to help somebody have a family, you're building one baby at a time. You're bu building our future, our community. I started out with seven children and now, God bless, I have many, many grandchildren. And that's what you can help a family do. [Applause] [Music] Wow, Michelle, that takes a lot of guts. That's unbelievable to see you speak like that. like to call you and Jack up. I know I spoke to you earlier and you said I don't want to talk on this mic. Everything I wanted to say and I have to say about a girl, a young lady having a chance to have a baby is connected to this organization. Bernam, open your hearts. Be a part of what they do to give a chance. I think that's unbelievable. Where's Michelle? Come on up with Jack. with Jack, please. [Applause] Jack, come up. come up with your wife, your partner. He could speak. I spoke too much already. You spoke unbelievable. You told your story. You gave You don't know what you did. You gave courage to young ladies that are having difficulty that opportunity. And what you said, you told her to hundreds and hundreds of young ladies, don't give up. Keep going. Keep trying. Never give up until you succeed. That was the message of Michelle Hadid. That's what she gave us. She gave us that opportunity for every couple to continue to have hope and then their lives can open up and they can be blessed to have a child. So, I wanted you to come up because I wanted to thank the two of you on behalf of our community for bonam, but more importantly for everything that the two of you do. I know Jack is like some other people here. So, I have to be careful that he doesn't like that. Avi doesn't like that. I don't like that. But you're a dynamic duo and the community looks up to both of you and we support everything you're doing, everything that your missions that you are part of, which is what I love. Everything we do, everything the fabric of this community, the Haded family is part of. That's who they are. That's what they represent. And we thank you. Okay, I'm not going to read it. I'm going to give it to Jack and Michelle for an everlasting partnership to Bonet Olam. So, this is for you. That's for you if you would like to say a couple of words and then please have the honor. I know. I know. I go home also and I look at Alice and I wonder why she gives me this ability, power, the right to go every morning, every night. But it's the same as what you do, the same as what he does, the same as who he is. We love the community and we want to give back everybody. Jack hated. [Applause] Thank you, Harry. Thank you, Avi. Claud, see, I got it right. Claudia, actually, I don't know why I'm up here because Michelle did everything and she persevered and she never gave up and she went through the shots and Michelle went through the emotional ups and downs and and I give you all the credit and you deserve it and thank God for the kids and the grandkids. But you know we we were good without anyway. Now you have to take it. No. Thank you. Who gets it? Harry. Yeah, Jack. Yes, sir. Thank you. Give me a hug. Thank you, the Haded family. Yeah, you Jack. But thank you, the Haded family. I am gonna say something. I knew it. I knew it. Sometimes life throws us, you know, obstacles and puts obstacles in our way. And in the video, I really said that um yeah, always have to believe that Hashem will set the path for you and put it in front of you if you continue to believe, but also we also need help. So in in this case with Bonet Olam, I'm not trying to plug, but I am plugging because this is a a very important organization and if you are going to donate money, this is the place to do it because people need your help. They need your help. Thank you, Michelle. another one of those people that does not need me to introduce you to a man that is single-handedly helping to change our community, helping to guide the youth and the adults and everybody that is a part of what he is doing. I told him the other day, I'll say it publicly again. I don't believe there's only one of him because he's giving 24 hours, seven days a week to build our community, to build the Torah, to let everybody have the light and see what it's like to be a religious Jew, a person that is embracing our customs, our religion, our Torah. And there's so much more to say. The night is getting on. Avi Rabbi Mayaded, I have such an honor. I can't believe I'm being given this honor to tell you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Rabbi. Thank you. Thank you, Harry. It's unbelievable. Every day, every morning, every night, constantly helping our community in so many ways. Hashem should bless you, Harry, to continue. You and Alice, keep going. double down. Thank you. Thank you, Abby, for having this event. You and your wife and your family. The night is already late. I'm going to tell you something very quickly. When we help bash Rabbi Josei Bakna, when we help anyone, any charity, it is very meaningful to know exactly why and who we are helping. The reason for that is because when you know who you're helping and you know the effect of what you're doing, you will do it from the heart and you won't stop. When we think about what we're doing here tonight, who are we helping? I think the first thought, the initial thought, the overwhelming thought is we're helping these souls that came and will come into the world that will have an opportunity to accomplish, an opportunity to work, an opportunity to live, an opportunity to enjoy the world. Just like all of us is there any we're not giving food tonight. We're not giving blood. We're not giving money. We're not even giving kidneys. We're giving life. How precious it is to give someone life. But it's so much deeper than that. It's not only about these beautiful babies that are going to come into the world and one day be in a tent like this giving their own money to others. But think about the parents. In my experiences with people, I don't believe there is a more painful experience for a person on this planet than being married and not have a child. And I've been around a lot of painful experiences in so many ways. There are people who have a hard time getting married. There are people who struggling financially. There are people who have health issues. There are all kinds of issues in life. as everybody here knows. But I do not think there is something more painful than a couple that is struggling to bring a child into this world. It is with them every single day. Every month there's hope and every month there's a disappointment. Wherever they go, you know, newlyweds, what do they talk about? They talk about their children. They talk about going to the park. They talk about buying them clothing. They talk about shopping. They talk about baby bottles. Newlyweds when they talk, they talk about their babies. When people are married, what do they talk about? What do you talk about with your husband? There's not a lot to talk about. You already know everything. That's why men don't like to talk. But if there's one subject everyone needs to talk about is their children. Oh, she did this, she started walking, she started smiling, he started doing this. Is it's endless. The conversation of a marriage has so much to do with children. A couple that's married can't converse with their friends. They can't go to the park. They're not even able to talk to each other in a normal way. And what about all the times in life when people are excited like Hanukkah's coming? We're having a Kaneka party by mommy. Oh, great. Another painful experience. You know what it's like for a couple to go to a party with all the children and they go themselves is very painful. It's a very happy day, but not for a couple that's not having a child. It's a very difficult day when you see all the children with their flags and excitement. And how about the sed everyone gets a turn to say? Everyone's asking manishana. Who asked the manishana? For a couple who doesn't have a child, almost every occasion becomes a moment of pain. A wedding, a breit mah. When we get a brea invitation, we're happy for people and they also want to be happy, but it's so hard. And on and on and on. We're not just helping little children come into the world. We're helping a husband and wife that's living in pain that's unimaginable. They don't have a place to escape. They can't go to the park. They can't go to anywhere that can avoid seeing things that bring them pain. Now, we understand perhaps what Rael Menu said when she told her husband bring me children and if not I might as well be dead from a great woman like Rael Menu those are some very strong words but that's the pain of a couple that's having a hard time bringing a child and what about their parents when the parents see their children suffering They suffer more than them. They always have to be careful around them. They have to worry about them. Brothers and sisters and siblings are constantly not sure. Should they talk about their children? Should they not talk about that? Should they bring their children? What should happen? It's so uncomfortable for everybody. Dozens of people are affected by one couple. I think I'm stating the obvious. I'm not saying any major to have bonam there for people that are struggling. They may not solve every single couple's problem. But just being part of the process already gives someone to speak with and someone to share with and someone to carry the burden with. And for that alone, if there was not one baby, I know they showed me here how many babies were born in the last year. Even if not one baby was born, it's worth it to have someone to speak to about your issue because it's a very dark world for such a person. And there is success beyond that. Babies are born. Babies are coming into this world and we are a part of that life. This is our opportunity to really act like the creator. There are so many ways we can be like the creator. We can be kind like him. We can be compassionate like him. We can be patient like him. We can be wise like him. But how often does a person have the chance to be a creator like him? Tonight we have a chance to be a creator, to be a partner in the creation of a wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous young child. And we thank Bonam for their beautiful work and all the people, the Hadids and everybody else who's fully involved. I know a lot of ladies are involved. Joe Mansour and company and whoever. I know I'm missing people. But to all of you who are involved, Hashem should bless you. I have a lot of respect for you like many like me to work for people who need help in the way that these people need help. And by the way, this crosses all lines. There's no wealth in this area. There's no good looks in this area. There's no popularity in this area. It doesn't make a difference who you are, how religious you are, how non-religious you are. It makes no difference. This could happen to anyone to everyone and they need the help. And for that bonam is here and ready. And it's an organization that we would like not to exist. We wish you don't exist anymore one day and people all have children. But the way the world is set up right now, Hashem wants it to exist because he wants us to be partners in creating people. And we will be and that merit will bring us tremendous blessings in our lives. And will bring us many children and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May the merit of creating others be a merit for your families to continue to grow and to blossom in all the beautiful ways. Amen. Amen. Thank you again, Avi, for opening your home. God bless you.
