They do so much for the community very quietly. Any of you that don't know about them, fortunate not to have to know about them. Anybody that ever needs them, they're very, very special in how they help the organiza, the community. Okay, everybody get settled, please.

Thanks for the money. >> Thanks to everybody that contributed. So your money went to good use. We wanted another liaison at another hospital, an important hospital. And from that event, we were able to raise money to be able to bring in another liaison. She's been there, you said how many years? Seven years now. >> Seven years now. >> And she's built herself up in the organization. I don't know if anybody knows how complicated a hospital is, but there's a lot of complications that exist to get a liaison into a hospital to be able to work in the background of what goes on in the hospital is very, very challenging. takes years and years and once they're established they do amazing things. So I've been unfortunately experienced it a few times and uh it's been family members and each time I reached out to Rabbi Sanders he reached out to the organization and they've each time helped tremendously. Simple thing like getting out of the emergency room which can be a very difficult thing to do in Mount Si. We were able to execute expedite getting out of the emergency room getting into a room which is you really never want to be in an emergency room. It's just chaos. It's not enjoyable. So, it's a very special thing to be able to uh to do that. Rabbi, did you want me to introduce somebody? >> Okay, Rabbi Adid, please. We're honored to have you here today. Thank you so much. Take it away. >> Take it away. >> Thank you, David. Good morning, Harry. >> Rabbi, >> it's great to see you early Sunday morning. >> It's an honor. We missed you yesterday. >> I was there.

And this event this morning, besides the class that we're having, is a testimony to who they are. It's not about money. It's more about responsibility and caring for others and doing for others. And uh thank you for being that person in our lives. And Hashem should continue to bless you with opportunities to be able to do for others and it should bring blessings on your family. Amen. Amen. >> Also a special thanks to James Hadt for uh always uh being on top of our Sunday morning class. This is part of our Sunday morning weekly class that we have today. It's a little extra flavor that we have with it. So thank you. We have a lot of a lot of merit, a lot of it always your wonderful parents and it should bring your family higher and higher in general. Amen. Amen. The um the puk says in a perk of that we read every Friday night it says literally translated it means that the great person. They sprout. They grow like the date tree. That's called a tamaran. And they grow tall like the cedars of Lebanon. Huge tall cedar trees. So the great person is being compared to a day tree and to a cedar tree. The idea is very simple seemingly that a great person doesn't stay. He's not a rock. He's not a table. He's not a chair. This chair will stay the same for the next hundred years. It could only get worse. But humans are not like that. Humans are not static. You see a person, 10 years later you see another person and 10 years later you may see another person hopefully for the better. Humans are meant to grow. Humans are meant to become greater to elevate themselves. We come into this world and we're as selfish as can be. We're born selfish. You never have to wonder where a person got selfishness from. It's the way we were created. A person is born with jealousy. A person is born with all the worst characteristics. A little baby is an example of a person who is lacking good character. And our job in life is to elevate ourselves and to grow above. To go from selfish to selfless, to go from jealous to satisfied. To be happy for others. To grow from lazy to energetic and all the beautiful things that a human grows, which of course all requires wisdom. So the puk is basically saying a great person grows like a tree grows. When you see a date tree when it's planted it's nothing. Come back in a few years you see it's got branches it's got dates. People are eating from it. Beautiful cedar trees tall. You looked a few years before there was nothing there and look what happened. Look around you. There are people that have grown in life. All of us have grown up with people. Unfortunately, there are some people that I grew up with that haven't changed a bit. They're the same guy, just maybe with a little more money. The same comments, the same rudeness, the same selfishness, the same. It's sad. They're not bad people. Just sad. Like grow up. Not grow up in age. grow up, become something better. You don't have to make those comments anymore. You don't have to be so competitive anymore like you were when you were 15 on a basketball court. You're 55. Grow up. A human is meant to grow up. It's sad when we see a person who is very similar to the way they were 20 years ago. That's what the puk describes. It describes the great person as the person who has grown, who you look at him today and say, "I don't remember that guy. I mean, I remember what he looked like. I remember his voice, but I don't remember him. He wasn't like this. It's supposed to be that way. You're not supposed to be the guy that everyone remembers. That's the way of the world. Great people graduate. Great people become. And there's no greater example. People are always wondering how to raise a better family, a better child. that they should leave a legacy in this world of something bigger than themselves. And there's no greater way to do it than to be that person, to be an awesome figure in the home of your children and grandchildren where they look at you and they have an awe for what you are and who you've become. That's what the puk is describing. that great people are no longer identified the way they used to be and every person has to think about that. You don't have to think about it. You can think however you like. It's free choice. The world is free choice. But the purpose of free choice is that a person develops themselves and becomes something. But the question on this puk is why is there a reason that they chose specifically these trees? Why did they choose the day tree and the cedar tree out of all trees? Just say a tree. We know what trees are. And if they wanted to give an example of a specific one, why give two? Just say one. You like the date tree, just say a date tree. Why do you have to compare a great person to a date tree and a cedar tree? I mean, there are plenty of trees. If you wanted to start listing, there's no end. So the truth is that the day tree and the cedar tree have their own story. Each one has a story and it's very important to know their story. The day tree is not a very tall tree. The reason why it's not so tall is because it puts all of its energy in producing dates. Imagine for a moment you were a date tree and you're working all winter to produce what's going to be fruits, thousands and thousands of fruits. And you work and you work and you toil and finally your fruits come out. Your tree is full of fruits. So beautiful, so exciting. And a day or two later, some fellow comes with a big truck. He takes every one of your dates. Doesn't even say thank you. and you're left bare without even one fruit. Everything was given out. You look at yourself and say, "Why did I do this? Why did I sacrifice so much to produce fruits only for someone to come and take it all? I sacrificed my height. I could have been tall. I could have been a cedar tree. A cedar tree is very tall because it doesn't produce any fruits. So all of its energy goes into itself. So it just keeps getting higher and higher and taller and more beautiful. The day tree sacrifices its own height to produce fruits for others, but it's so disappointing because by the end of the season, it's got nothing to show for it. Someone comes and takes it all and the day tree is left to wonder why he has to work so hard and not get anything in return. What I have to stunt my growth to give somebody else from my fruits. These are the stories of the trees. In the tree world, the more you put into fruits, the shorter you become. The more you invest in yourself, the taller you become says David Melik that the human story is very different. You know, every one of us in life, every normal person in life has aspirations. They want to become big at something. Some want to become big with money. They want to be super wealthy. Believe it or not, some aspire for other things. Maybe hard to believe. It's hard to believe. You say some aspire for wisdom. They aspire for wisdom. Some aspire for perfection. Of course, they also need money, but it's not what they're shooting for. But regardless of what you're shooting for in life, you want to become someone tall. Tall in finances, tall in family, tall in wisdom, tall in accomplishments, whatever it is that you aspire to, you want to become tall. God forbid that somebody wakes up in the morning and has no aspirations. They're in big trouble. A human is built, a great human is built on aspirations. I have to build. I have to do. I have to produce. I'm excited to become something. I'm not here telling you what to become, but you got to become something. says the great David listen to me good listen to what I'm telling you that a person's rise to reach what they want and what they desperately want to possess and it should bring them a blessing as Well, and not always do the things that we aspire to bring us blessings. Sometimes we aspire for wealth and the wealth makes us not so blessed. Not everything that we aspire to is an automatic home run in the world of happiness and success. says David Melik, I'm going to give you a formula in this world of how a person is able to achieve the height that they want to reach in all the important areas of life. Along the way of success, along the way of the tree going higher, says David, there's going to be situations that are going to demand of you to give of your fruits. You have a young man who aspires to be a great scholar. He wants to become something big. He wants to know. The Torah is endless. The books are endless. The wisdom is endless. And he's on it. He's studying. He's He went from he went to to Mishna. He went to Gim. He's doing Zohar. He's He's all over. He wants to know it all. And someone knocks on his door and says, "Could you you have a a little time for me? Could you learn with me something? An hour a week? Couple of hours a week. You have time for me? Yeah, sure. What do you want to learn? Oh, I'm I'm very basic. I don't know much. Like maybe like uh learn a puk, learn a few pesukim, tell some stories. The guy is thinking, what am I doing here? Here I am on my way to my tall great achievements that I am aspiring for. Spending an hour with this guy, spending two hours with him, what a waste of my time. It's taking away from my ability to go higher. a person who's striving to make himself a wealthy person and they start and they work and they're struggling and they're struggling and finally they're making a little bit of money. They made their first million. I'm sorry if that's like too little in this room, but whatever. Used to be a good number. He made his first million and he's like, "Okay, he's getting there. He's closer to the billions that he's excited about. He's so excited and all of a sudden he gets a knock on the door. He says, "You know, we have a project. We have something we're doing for the community, for for people in need, for young people, whatever it is, you know, we need your help. We need 100 grand. 100 grand. That makes my tree not so tall. I took I'm up to a million. You're bringing me down. You're cutting me shorter. That doesn't work in my world of aspiration. I I need to keep my millions so I can get to more faster. You're stunting my growth by me giving you my perot. I'm shorter as a result. It is that way. Not only in money and not only in wisdom. A great woman who is raising a family. Everybody knows that it's not simple to deal with a husband and with children and take care of their needs and making sure everything is what it's supposed to be. It's not simple. It's hard work, especially if you're doing it right. We've seen great women that are amazing just to watch and see their dedication and what they do for their family. It's beyond what what a man is capable of doing. Here is a woman invested in her family and someone knocks on her door and says, "Could you open your home for an event for 24/7? you know, we need we need uh your help in the school for something. And now she's thinking, one second, if I put my effort in this and in that, how am I going to have the ability to help my own children? You know how much energy I need for my children? You know how much time I need for my children? Now I'm gonna give my energy to others to other children. It's not going to allow me to reach the goals. I have goals. I want to become something great. My children, my home, I got to be focused on what I have to do. This is the story of life that no matter what endeavor you're elevating yourself to reach along the way. You're going to have people knocking on your door to take away from what you're striving to become. They may take away your time. They may take away your wisdom. They may take away your money. They may take away your energy. And at that point, you're going to have to make a choice. You're going to have to make a decision. The logical decision would be no. I have goals. This is going to set me back. I'm not doing it. It makes sense. If people don't give charity, it makes sense. I get I get them. I understand them. Why would they? They're working hard. They're trying to get somewhere. Why would they give away their fruits? I understand why someone wouldn't want to learn with somebody who's way below their standard. I get it. Makes sense. It's logical. says David Melik that although it's logical and although makes sense but in the human reality it's not the way it works in the human reality it works totally different than the trees you're right in the world of trees logic says you give of your fruits to others you stunt your growth You're not going to be so tall. You keep everything to yourself, you're going to become tall as can be. But when it comes to humans, says the great David Melik, it doesn't work like that. In fact, it works the opposite. He says, "Sadik, the great person, when he gives away the gifts that Hashem has blessed him with, when he gives of his dates, he gives of his time, he gives of his money, he gives of his energy, he gives of his wisdom, he gives to others. That's how you grow tall. You specifically grow tall by giving of yourself to others. That's the formula. You're not like the trees. Humans are not trees. Humans have a different way of reaching their aspirations, reaching the top, reaching what they want in the most blessed way. Taking everything for yourself doesn't make you successful, not even in what you're aspiring to achieve. It's only when you give of yourself. It is only there where the formula of growth for yourself happens. It's something that a person must internalize. We're all by nature selfish. We're all by nature wanting to hoard everything for ourselves. That doesn't make us anything less than human. But it doesn't make us wise. The wise person looks for opportunities to open their home, to open their pocket, to give of their time. They see it not as a block. They see it as a hurdle to go higher. When someone is taking something from you, he's giving you something. Living life in such a way not only becomes productive, not only becomes energetic, but it becomes blessed. You become a cedar tree. I heard a story some years ago, maybe I mentioned this here in one of the classes. It's an unbelievable story about a young man. This story, by the way, was said over. I forget the name of the person who said it. Very wealthy Jew that lived in England. He passed away now. I forgot his name. He was a Holocaust survivor. And he made a sum on at the age of 80. Something that he learned. And he spoke and he said the following story. He was in the concentration camps as a little boy and when they let them go, he was the only one left of his family. So he was trying to find a place to start his life. He says he ended up in the streets of London. No home, no money, no family. Can you even imagine what that feels like? And he says he saw he was at the time around 18 years old. He saw in the streets of London he saw yeshiva yeshiva where boys are learning Torah. He hasn't learned he hasn't seen a book in eight years but he's at home. He says, "Oh yeshiva, maybe I'll go. I I'll enroll in the yeshiva." He knocks on the door. He meets with the rashiva. He says, "Rabbi, you know, I I am uh just saved from the Holocaust. I have nowhere to go. I see you have yeshiva. I'd love to sit and learn to you know place to stay on and the sea hears what the man what this little young man is telling him. He tells him, "Listen, you're welcome to stay. Be happy for you to stay, but I just want you to know the people here are very highlevel learners. You haven't learned in years, you're not going to be able to understand what they're saying." He said, "If you can get a if you can get one of the boys to learn with you," he says, "I'd be happy to have you. I just don't know if anyone's going to be willing to learn with someone who knows nothing, but try." But what choice does he have? He takes a piece of paper and he puts it right by the entrance of the bet midash and he writes a boy here came from the war is in the yeshiva interested in interested in study partners. If anyone is interested, please go over to him. Okay. One day he's waiting in the bet midash. Who's going to come over to learn with him? Big yeshiva. A lot of boys there. Each one has their who's going to come and learn with him. One day passes, not one answered that note. Who can blame them? They have already their study partner. They're doing their thing. The second day, maybe the second day will be a little better. He comes the second day, waits from morning till night. Not one guy, nobody comes over to say I want to learn with you. He's already feeling a little hopeless. He says he'll give it one more day. comes the third day. Nobody. It's now 6:00 7 p.m. He's gonna find another place to go to because there's no hope in this place. On his way out, two young men tap him on the shoulder and they ask him, "Are you are you the person who put up the note?" He says, "Yes." So, well, my name is Moshe. My friend here is Tuvia. He says, "We want to learn with you. We're sorry we didn't come earlier. We weren't here. We were out of town. We just came back today. We saw the note." But he'll learn with you first the morning s for a few hours and I will learn with you in the afternoon every day. Is it really? You guys want to learn with me? Yeah. So he said he was so happy someone was willing to learn with him. In his mind he said these are probably the losers of the yeshiva who was learning with them. They came from out of town. They probably you know but what what else does he have? No choice. He stayed. He started to learn with them. took very quickly for him to realize that Moshe and Tuvia were very very very solid. They from the most solid of the yeshiva. When people had questions, they come over to them. Young men, but they were special. This man ended his cyum speech by saying the following. He says, "I kept up with almost all the boys in the yeshiva that I learned. I know every one of them." He says, "And I will tell you that from all the boys that were in that yeshiva, not one became anything special except from Moshe and Tovia. Both of them became they're very well known. They're from the Gdole. each one of them. Here's an example of young men that said, "Listen, I'm in yeshiva. I gotta learn. What am I wasting my time with this guy?" Makes sense. But that's not the way it works. That's not the way life works on human standards. when we dedicate ourselves. Now, of course, if a person is pulling the money out of you like they're stretching your skin, I don't know if it works like that. If someone is forcing you to teach somebody, I don't know that it works like that. A person needs to feel a responsibility if you've been blessed. And who here isn't blessed with something? If you've been blessed, remember and remind yourself, your blessings were not given for you. Your blessings were given to give out like dates on a palm tree. This is not only your obligation, but it's the source of your success for you and for your family. You'll take something and turn it into a blessing. The person who feels responsibility for the gifts that Hashem has given him to use them to open the home to open the wallet to open their time to give their whenever a person is asked and it's a real cause and it's important and they could do it. Sometimes you can't do it. You can't do it. Can't open your home. You can't know. You can't do it. Know the opportunity. Know that the person isn't taking away dates from you. It's giving you a cedar tree life. And it's a um the well-known secret of our nation. It's who we are. As the puk says, Hashem loves us. Why? Because even when Hashem gives us a lot, when he gives us a lot, we realize that we have more to do and more responsibility. When Hashem gives blessings as we say in the to love Hashem with all your heart with your soul. What's means a lot. To love Hashem with the When Hashem gives you a lot. When Hashem gives you a lot, it's meant for a purpose. It's got a destination. Feel the responsibility. And when you feel the responsibility, you become a vessel of blessing for more and more and more. This is a uh reality. Fortunate are people who understand this reality and more fortunate are those who live by it. Their life becomes a completely different life. Very little will stay the same about who they are when they live with that responsibility and that that's my blessing to all of you. My blessing to all of us is that we should see clearly. We should see the assignments that have been given to us through the blessings that have been handed our way and we should be able to utilize them not only to help others but to elevate ourselves and our families. And I think this morning is another example of how our community steps up to help those who are helping others. Nobody wants to be as David said in situations where they need this organization. But we all know that it's a reality that probably we all will need this organization. And when someone is in need and someone steps up to help, it's part of who we are as a people. And those who step up and give and support those who help are just as important as the ones on the front lines. So Dave, thank you again. >> Who's who said I'm finished? That was just the introduction. Thank you, David. Thank you, Monnique. Thanks to all of you. It's always a pleasure to be around people that we love and people that we connect to in the most beautiful way. My blessings to you and to everybody to your families all your extensions that you should see tremendous blessings. You should not only receive the blessings but you should experience the blessing in the blessings. Some people get blessings but they don't they don't enjoy them to enjoy your blessings and be hashem today will be another stop on the road to those blessings. Thank you 247 for uh making your way here and giving us the opportunity to help you do what you do. Thank you. >> We're going to show a short video. >> Okay, we're going to show a short video. >> I'm I'm going to have to leave. >> Oh, so we better get Harry first. >> He's on the video. Can we show it for just a minute? >> Go ahead. Show the video. I I >> I know you have to go. Harry, >> I always have to go. >> I know you the person he was talking. Let the video roll and let the video roll please. >> The star of this video, Mr. Ralph Zerak is here himself and >> where is he? >> Few years back >> traveling for business. I'm in the Philippines and as I always do, I look for the local synagogue. I walk inside, I see someone I never met before. He gives me a big hug. He tells me, "You don't know me." He goes, "But I'm assuming your father is Eli." I said, "He is." He goes, "From Beirut?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Me and your father were best friends. It's a small world. Anywhere you go, you're going to bump into someone, you know." I like to use the phrase often, mule. It's an allhill, right? I went I went to the synagogue in Philippines and to me how beautiful are the Oales of Yakob like this synagogue or any synagogue around the world that we go to the Oel Yakob and that's what brings us together 24/7 was the oh that I needed we were in Cornell you're in another world although you're in Manhattan and you're in the city but you're in a building that's really its own almost like its own its own world. And when you're in there, you have to take care of what you're doing. Whether it's taking care of something that needs to be taken care of, it could be a great thing, having a child or a grandchild, whatever it is. But when you're there and you need that something headset 24/7 is that oh within the building right within the world of Cornell which is where I was at and I was there for a while while I was there with my wife and I'll tell you from the first day or second day we were there Rabbi Sanders came to me introduced himself and he said I want you to know we're here for you. Anything you need, I said 24/7 is here for you. I said, Rabbi, we need a heart. He said, I know. He said, we're praying for you and we're going to Hashem is going to get her a heart. We're all praying for you. And honestly, anything I could have asked for, I'm sure they would have done for me. I needed a break or if I needed a snack or if I needed teen, whatever it was, you go in that room and it was the oil that I needed. The first Friday we were there, Yoh came to us and she brings us what they call shabas on a box and they give you this box which has kushkam sweets um a card a flower for for your table hala cover a tablecloth like they think of everything and that's what's beautiful about not just our community, but the Jewish world, they're always thinking of others. And that's my opinion what's going to bring the mashiach quickly. The is paramount to everything. 24/7 is an organization that we all wish we don't need, but at the end of the day, we're all one community. We're one family and there are so many people struggling today that are utilizing 24/7 all their resources. So, it's so important to recognize the fact that they are critical to our infrastructure to helping our community members navigate through medical challenges. >> I was happy to help by contributing my home. It's my pleasure, my wife's pleasure, my wife is happy to do it. We're thrilled to be a part of the organization success and we wish you many many years of continued zahoot in continuing to do what you do. Your organization is fabulous. Uh it's priceless. It's important and uh really there's so many people you help and nobody even knows it. >> Thanks 24/7 for being there myself, for my wife, for my family. They're doing unbelievable work. Harry, welcome. >> Thank you, David. Monnique, >> thank you very much. >> Well, he has a gift for you, so >> you got one for me, too. >> I I consulted with a famous uh art consultant, Mr. >> Your hands are shaking. >> Mr. Ricky Sutton, uh who uh was very kind in helping us. Please come up with it. Please come. Please come. >> No, no, you take with them. >> Go ahead. Take a picture with them. >> This is by a famous artist in Israel. Well-known artist. It is a It is a It looks like a spaceship. But in fact um it you know nowadays the kohanim when they go to bless the Jewish people the living in come and pour water on their hands. And the the Monique and David, as the rabbi said, have such clarity in me. I would hope that both of them are present tomorrow. But we wanted to uh the the inscription reads, "Presented to Monique and David Haden with heartfelt appreciation for your exemplary and visionary leadership in establishing the the Haded family patient liaison position at Wild Corn. Now um you have blazed a I'm sorry you have blazed a magnificent path for your family and for your community founders of Rabbi and Mrs. Greenberg once upon a time they're here with us once upon a time there was one room in in in in Rockland County and Mrs. Greenberg started that room and she said to her husband, "Come, let's build the thing." And of course, like all good husbands, he said, "Of course." And so now there are 34. We just opened up our second one in Brooklyn. NYP uh NYP Brooklyn is called now. Uh there are of course Mount Si uh Cornell, Columbia Children's, Columbia Sloan Kenny. Um thank you very very much. Thank you. Thank you, Rabbi. Appreciate it. Harry, >> do your thing. >> Enjoy it. Thank you. My thing is your thing. My thing is the rabbis's thing. It's what our community is all about. Giving back. That's where our heart comes from. That's what we were trained from. our grandparents, our parents, us, our rabbis, they speak about it day in and day out. And and Rabbi May's speech today was the epitome of that. It's all about what you want to be, who you are, and how much you can give back. And one of the ways is money, right? >> Well, we established that position for Mr. Shanik. Mr. Shan, can you stand up for a moment? Mr. Shanic's position was established in this room. We would like her to continue and we are going to establish hopefully another one hopefully here today.
