Prep For Shavous - Rabbi Daniel Kalish & Rabbi Yosef Sonnenschein

Our captain's great. Sun shining, tremendously appreciated what he's built, what he's brought us to. So, it's an honor to be here. I want to express people wonder what's What are we We're a group of Yidden that was before Shavuos. Everything's allowed here. In the heart by me a kumzits what we're going to sing share the great Torah. A kumzits works when at the heart like the height of it somebody cracks a joke and ruins the whole thing. A guy opens the light, close the lights. If something needs comedians need a certain like thing in the room. Like to work comedians need Can we have lights on a little? I want to see everybody. Then we'll I don't want to argue. We'll do Just for a little bit. Then we'll close. I just like the chevre. Comedians need Comedians shaggy need a certain thing in the room. If you bust if you hurt the thing like the whole show is ruined. A group of Yidden that like each other. I was very impressed. I'm sitting next to Gabe Baleman, you'll meet him soon. And there's a song he composed that like to me is like life It made a big impact. My kids say nobody kills a song like you dad. Cuz when I like a song I just listen day and day and day. If you know how many times he composed like a week ago we've done it in Yeshiva. How many times have I >> 10. >> Yeah, 10 times. Who's counting? But the maiseh the maiseh I he I was blown away. Here's a song it's emotional, it's real. And in middle of the song a guy made like a joke. Like in middle of like I'm sitting there it It's mamish like bigger than Moshe Rabbeinu is Moshe got water from a rock, he got tears from this guy's rock. And and I was emotional and a guy cracks a joke in middle. And he like enjoyed the joke. He stopped the song like explained the whole story on the joke. But I liked it because real things it's like you ruin the whole thing, please. At the Shabbos table your kids misbehaving they save your whole table. If you're trying to construct they broke a human construction. A Shabbos table is a family that likes each other. He ruined the whole thing. She ruined What are you talking? You You think we're like we're real thing. We're a bunch of you and we like each other. We're friends. We have with you who try to be making. We have the rubber GG's here. Right Madlinger arranged with carbs here. We're a bunch of you and it's not like somebody makes it ruins it. They had the song and we all like trust me it's matter to plug in and to be connected but it's not ruined by a person by a certain in middle. I like the heart of a comes in somebody like comes in and what's going on is what's happening? We're saying that they saved the whole thing. It's not it's not a certain It's just an mystical thing. A group of you and slices and we want to get ready for Shabbos. We'll use the right tire. We'll use mirrors. We'll use jokes. We'll use food. We want to We want to be prepared. I want to ask to do a specific song that he the I don't think I don't think knows it but I want to express as follows. My kids and the guys in Yeshiva are changing my life. Righteousness and shine was a start of this journey for me. I'm trying to learn my inner world, my insecurities, my discomforts, that which frustrates me. And we're in a very mystical time. People are feeling. Adults are looking at their kids. What my 11-year-old says things emotionally I'm 51. It's like what's happening? The wave is expanding. This has been predicted, right? Rabbi Shapiro quotes Rabbi Hakohen who says, "Even though there's you read this haggadah, the lave is going to grow." Psukim said, "The time of Mashiach a lave evens going to become a lave boser." People are feeling and it's remarkable. It's beautiful. It's challenging. It's shver. And I'm and I'm and I'm working on the inner sugia in a generation that's like very sensitive and the gains are relationship crazy. You could be close to your children. They could share the hardest things in the world and you could sit down and have the toughest difficult conversation. A man must be close and look at each other and man must know each other. Man must be close. It's It's amazing what's going on. And in a generation that wants to connect to things, so you sit at your seder, people don't want People don't want speeches. They don't even want A guy tells me I sit at my seder and everybody's saying different Torahs. It's different. Everybody's saying different He said, "Is anybody comfortable? Does anybody What's What am I supposed to experience here?" And I'm not He's not making fun. It's good. You didn't say it right Torah, but what's the experience? I come to a rough table at a chasuna and there's tremendous good to see that people share different Torah, but why aren't we comfortable? Could we be comfortable? Could we be Hi, how are you? And I come from my car in the middle of a Mets game. It's hard to share that that I was listening, especially how much they're losing. It's hard to share that. But could we be comfortable and meet and together we man must could study Torah. Man must we could learn a different Torah from a place and we want to connect to things. We want to sit at a seder. We want to like feel it and experience it. If I would express the prayer of today's generation, it would be Everything's from David Hamelech. It would be tov ta'am vada'as lamdeni. Hashem, give me a ta'am. Da'as is emotional reality. Let me like experience what's going on. I want I want a time. And what I want to say and absorb, and I'm want to work on, and I think it's that void of today's door, is to know give me a mitzvah I say I am on the Schleicher Magboller was standing by the hair. Mitzvah I say I am on the means David I Melech says I have a moon and mitzvahs. For years you're looking at a guy I would speak after Pesach and I would ask the chevre, "Know what kabbalah to hold on to what we got?" Today I hold that question from me, not from anybody else, borders on clear. Borders. What could we do to hold the What could we I ate matzah. Me and my kids, everybody ate matzah, you'll never be the same the rest of your life, never. You think after you eat the food, you tell your body like where to put the nutrients? What could we do Pasha to get the the right things in the arm and the sinews, you know, I Pasha what the Hashem designed us momish. She also said in the comments, things go where they're supposed to go. Somebody eats matzah, what can I do? There's not just so good, there's such a thing. Yeah, maybe a little. You ate matzah, what are you You kidding me? You ate matzah. Give me a mitzvah I say I am on the I can't We're going to count a person counted Sefirah tonight. You're never out, you miss a night, you're supposed to you have to count a mitzvah to count count tonight. If you didn't count one stole Sefirah, count tonight. Momish a mitzvah. You count one night, you count Sefirah, you're a different person. I might be You miss my say I am on the. We're so used to Very important to me in Yeshiva. I met me and met a Yid today. He was upset, a bocher broke something in his property. So I went down, it turned out he's a Yid. He was raised He was raised He said to the pastor, he said he's a Yid momish be related to him. He might be related to him. His name is Gushansky and Levy. He's my cousin. He's my Levy. We're both Levys. So, I called up Carmi. You got to play music. Guri played music for the kid. The kid was crying. His jaw was to the floor. He's my friend. Tomorrow we're going to put on film for the first time in his life. >> [snorts] >> He said, "Kid, I want to put on film and that Oh, you're getting there." He listened to music. We we we said the word Hashem to him. It's not in context. He's becoming I've been shaken since I left his house. My wife said, "Daniel, you're okay?" Not really. I met a kid we like spoke. We said he heard the word Hashem. The only rabbi he said, "You're a rabbi?" I said, "I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. You studying to be one?" I have no smicha. I don't know. A rabbi maybe if you want. But the only rabbi he met was very tough on him. He said, "A little kid he did he said it's hard to me to say this." A kid a kid who grew up in Durham, Connecticut. He grew up there as a farmer in Durham, Connecticut. >> [clears throat] >> And a kid puts on film. Oh, are you doing better? Oh, are you getting A kid puts on film to be born for that. Don't make things A kid learns for 5 minutes. You're born to you learn Torah. It's not in context. We believe in mitzvahs. A kid does mitzvahs. It's it's worth worth from one end of the world to the other. David Hamelach says, "I want an emotional connection to mitzvah. I want to sit at the seder and go places. I want to be so deeply understanding and connected and in it." But you know why? When whether I do or don't, it's a big thing to do a mitzvah. At the root I think this is the prayer of today's dirt. And what we need to give over and mitzvahs. A youngster today looks at somebody who never missed a minyan for 63 years. And they struggle. What does he feel like? What's the experience? Explain it to me. And they're saying something and we need to merge two generations that each one have a light that's so gorgeous. We need to merge the Mitzvah and Monty allows for the prayer to have time with a slam Danny a sham please. I'm craving an attachment. I want this experience to like be beautiful, to be special, to mean something. I want it to mean something. We have a minyan in the morning of rebellion come with with a bulk of the minyan showers. Started like filling up. Today they were like 40 guys coming and they're making such a rash that I can say it by prayers. We're trying to be given Mitzvah and Monty whether I I want I want to connect a sham. I want to speak to God and connect even if they're Amish robotic. I'm not coming with much. I I can't. I'm tired. I don't I'm just a lot on the mind but I'm here and I'm minding that he just says the words of prayer from it's a big thing. It's reminding in your Mitzvahs. We know it means something. And that allows and a generation that's pleading. If I summed up today's door, they're begging a sham to have time with a slam Danny. Please and our job is to connect with Mitzvah and Monty. We have a moon and Mitzvahs. Of course we want to say that that's like wildly magical. And we want all our Mitzvahs. We want to fill in that's like of course we want that. We want to connect. Guys will ask, "What do you think when you put on my gosh shocks?" I was afraid you'd ask that. >> [laughter] >> And they don't take it with you. What what does it mean to you? What he's saying is I I to put on I want to do it. What do you think? You have a Shabbos, where does it bring you? What do you What do you And tove tam v'daas l'lamdeini, I want a I want a Shabbos that's a it's an immersion in some Hashem's mitzvos, Torahs Hashem. All right for that, we could pray and we should pray and we are praying tove tam v'daas l'lamdeini. L'kayem mitzvosecha emanti, we were meaning we stood at our scene and Hashem handed us a Torah and mitzvos. And we're aware and our neshama knows it, it's big, it counts, it matters, each mitzvah, each thing. And celebrate it as such. Person puts on tfillin, we should look at each other. Person put on tfillin, I'm excited. This guy's tfilling, tomorrow's going to be like crazy. He's going to put on tfillin first time in his life to put on tfillin. Rash He's going to put on tfillin I mean it. Maybe I'll put on tomorrow's, I think I'm going to put on also. You going to wear tfillin tomorrow? Psh. You put tomorrow not? It's a big thing. Mitzvosecha emanti, it's a big deal. You put on tfillin, it's a big thing. And of course we pray if I could ask if we could put if you could teach the song, learn the sing. Shlomo's in tove tam v'daas l'lamdeini l'kayem mitzvosecha emanti, yitgadleu Torahs picha m'alfai alfei alfei alfei alfei alfei alfei alfei alfei. >> [music] [music] >> Return [music] our stuff or not. >> [music and singing] [singing] [music] >> I totally >> [singing] [music] [music and singing] [music] [singing] >> totally >> [music and singing] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] >> I totally [singing] >> [music] [music] [music and singing] >> totally >> [music and singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] [chanting] [singing and music] [applause] >> Can you help me to start?

I'm looking family family we're we're we're in a we're a wild abundant of richness here. And I think the prayer after Hashem gives us Torah. The ummah is bench us Hashem you are with us by shalom. We need to each have shalom each to make room the beautiful light that each one is to make room for each other. That's the blessing after receiving the Torah we each alight let's make room for each other.

I is this Tyra Shem I is I is this Tyra. So what's Tyra? It's probably Kedai to study by I is. The The person that Sadiq whose name by I is this Tyra in him. Probably if you study him you'll get a sense of what's Tyra by I is. By I is is called the man whose I is. He's like the shpits. The epitome of a Ben Tyra. So we can study by I is a long time but I want to I want to hear Tyra from my son Shlita. And to study by I is to introduce the rab who needs no introduction. But I want to express that by I is is the godol hador. By I is is a Sadiq is and and by I is marries Ruth. And Ruth is the shpits outsider. She's a giyares, she's a convert. Ruth is a aniya, she's very poor. Ruth is an almana, she's a widow. She has everything in the world. A widow A husband's achrayis is to bring his wife to the community. That's the job of a husband. He brings his part of a show, part of a Khabura. The husband brings the mishpacha that the mishpacha is in the killer. She has no husband. She's in She's penniless. Everything that tends to put somebody on the outside. And by eyes, the man who gets Tyra, who's a shpitz Tyra, Tyra says 36 times in the Tyra. It says Abba Sager. It's It's maybe from the most spoken about theme in our Tyra is pulling. Pull in and include. [cough and clears throat] There's a light in every Yid. There's a light in every Yid. Kabbalah Tyra celebrates Tyra and the Yid. The Yid and Tyra Yisrael be Raisa Chadou. And by eyes, the man who is Tyra, who gets Tyra, this Tyra enemies a shpitz Tyra, he includes the outsider. She becomes the ultimate insider. Of course, Im Yisrael Malchus. She sits when Melech on his throne, right next to him is Raisa's throne. The shpitz insider. And from her comes Dovid HaMelech's Lev Levav Am. Is it a wonder that from Byas, from this tzaddik Byas, who's a shpitz Tyra, comes Dovid HaMelech's who's a metzius, who's Lev Levav Am, who everybody listen me may be like klums, all about the people, inclusive. The world of Tyra is pulling in, is including. Nobody falls. Nobody's out. Nobody For years, the Rav for years has been the Byas of our community, including in. Nobody's like, "They're out." They're not No, no, no. Pulling in, pulling in. Come, come, join. You're part. By eyes, this is our We have a beautiful kehilla that's built from minute one of this kehilla was built. My son, I remember one year Purim, he was tight shaker, inebriated. He grabs the mic by our kehilla and he says we're so lucky to be in a community. Here a person counts. It's a tire place. Here a person counts. Here a person's light is each one. There's no extras. There's no There's no person that doesn't count. We're a community. Boy, is this tire here. There's a person so then the nation say give that people shalom. Each one counts. Each one matters. I ask myself why don't people pull in? Youngsters, why don't they pull in? Why don't they include? There's such a thing as a coolness. There's such a thing of cool. Wherever you have coolness, wherever you have a social standing, whatever gives you utilize it to pull in somebody else. Rabbi Gessinger was one of the heroes of my life. My wife and I since his only recently we found the rabbi. We were We were reeling because he's somebody who his standing he gave thousands of all different types became in. His coolness caused thousands to be cool. So why don't people do that? Cuz they don't know that they're cool. What is a youngster afraid to be inclusive? Cuz if I go to include that one I'll be on the outs also. So the secret of is there's greatness in him. He said this when we we have something real we pull in. That's the we're pulling in. We're included. The entirety of our people we have no extras. I want to appreciate that. We have a rabbi who for years has been inclusive. That's been the the calling. Anytime somebody's going through many others would outsource and send it. The rabbi gets involved. Described this as the job of a rabbi. The job is is to make sure to include to be inclusive to make sure no one falls out. We've been to have such a rabbi. So we come here, we want to hear the great Torah. >> Sometimes you have a a divrei Torah that you understand with your mind, and sometimes you could have a a vort, a ma'amar Chazal, that at a certain point you start to understand with your heart. And 9 days ago, there was a ma'amar Chazal that I I don't know what happened. In the middle of Shacharis, I started to understand with my heart. And I wouldn't ordinarily share it, but I have the safety of sitting next to Rabbi Kalish, who's been such a close friend, and we've shared our journeys with each other, and created a tremendous sense of of um of making space for ourselves, for each other, for others, and and mitach that sense of safety. Thank you, Rabbi Kalish, thank you for joining us and for for sharing your heart with us. Mitach that atmosphere, I want to express something that I understood with my heart 9 days ago. In Mesillas Yesharim, I didn't start understanding it by saying Mesillas Yesharim. Now I'm giving the hakdamah. Tell you where my heart came in later. In Mesillas Yesharim, perek yud tes, asks a kasha when he says that we're supposed to daven for the geulah. He asks that a person will ask himself, "Who am I that I'm going to bring the geulah? There are thousands and thousands and thousands of Yidden davening for the geulah. And if you include all the generations of Yidden, there are millions of Yidden. Da mani safan." The the the Mesillas Yesharim says like "I'm going to say "V'liyerushalayim er rachamim tishuv", and Hashem's going to be like, "Now, finally somebody said it." You know, like it's not what's what what's my tefillah, my bakasha for the korban. What does that add to the oceans and oceans of tefillos? So, the Mesillas Yesharim brings a mishna. It's a very, very famous Maimonides Chazal that I think I think at least for myself, I I haven't understood until now. It's a Maimonides Chazal that if you ask most people where it is, they'll tell you it's in Pirkei Avot. But it's not. It's a Mishnah in Sanhedrin. And the Maimonides Chazal starts with the Mishnah discussing the fact that Adam was never Yechidi. Hakadosh Baruchu created one Adam. And the Mishnah says Hakadosh Baruchu the King of Kings the praise of Hakadosh Baruchu that most people if they have a mold, everything that comes out of that mold looks the same. And Hakadosh Baruchu created all of us in the mold of Adam Harishon and we all look different. And then the Mishnah says Lefikach Chayav Kol Echad Ve'Echad Lomar Bishvili Nivra Olam. Each and every person is obligated to say the world was created for me. And I want to just say let's not settle for the narrow view that the that the Chazal that Rebbe Yehudah Nasi writing a Mishnah in Sanhedrin was trying to do a maybe a a quote that someone would post on their status or a self-help good like one-liner. Everyone should say the world was created for me. Chazal included it in a Mishnah in Sanhedrin. That means it's a deep deep deep profound life-changing emes. First of all, if it's true, if it's not true, so then why should everybody say it? If it's not true that everybody that that the world was created for me, so then don't tell me to say it. It's not true. If it is true, so why doesn't the Mishnah just say Lefikach Why are we learning it through Chayav Adam Lomar? Why is that the way that we're learning it? And that's not even that obvious question just to get that out of the way is that I'm sitting across from from David so David just use you as an example if that's okay. So if the world is created for me it couldn't have been created for you it was created for me. So but you your mission is also says that if the world is created for you couldn't have been created for me. So is it some kind of a game it's some kind of everyone should think I I don't like answers like that. It doesn't that's solid it's not it's not healthy what what's the what is the answer to the question this is talking this is not that we got some self-help guru to sit on the floor in the yard and we all sat around him and he says everybody should think that's not what this is this is a very real statement in a mission in Sanhedrin the same as after that describes the best day. The same thing it describes how to do says which really remember what's going on here? So just in terms of the the and then we'll talk about what the real is. The is of course if say it's true. And of course if say that I should say the world was created for me with all due respect the world was created for me. But I could have not say miss bar. I could have managed to put into one world many many many many many worlds and if you have to realize the I can just take a minute to describe the that's miss bar there's no measure to kindness cuz I am all of you I just want to announce just you might not have known all of you were created for me. Thank you. The world was created for me which means every single one of you are here in this case of this room is to be a help in my other people might have been created to be a challenge in my you know I don't know you know. >> [laughter] >> So so but every you know so so just to continue my example so Reb Dovid Seltzer was was Hashem Hashem decided 52 years ago Hashem decided that this guy, Sonnenstein, needs Dovid Seltzer in his life. Okay? And you're part of what's in my life. Thank you for being here. Baruch Hashem. I I think I grew a lot from you. Thank you. And you're here. Now, Hashem also wanted to create a world for you. And Hakadosh Baruch Hu thought for reasons which I'm not 100% clear on, Hakadosh Baruch Hu thought that you need a guy, Sonnenstein, in your life. And it stemmed exactly even though where I sit in shul is different than where you sit in shul. We're different ages. We have different backgrounds. We have We have different We have different journeys. But my journey somehow matches perfectly with what you need. And your journey matches perfectly with what I need. It's amazing. But this plot thickens because sitting next to you is Yechiel Sonnenstein. Okay? Now no offense to us, but the world was created for him. And Hakadosh Baruch Hu in his world, where he's the center of the world, this is not a joke. This is not a joke. Had Hakadosh Baruch Hu wanted, he could have created 100 million separate worlds. Hakadosh Baruch Hu is a ba'al kishron. He put it all into one world. But this is not a joke. It's a real thing. So Reb Yechiel, the world was created for you. And that means that Hakadosh Baruch Hu thought that there should be Sonnenstein in your life. That was an important component in your life. I hope to help more than to hurt. I hope. Okay? But that's a component in your life. Hakadosh Baruch Hu also decided that there should be a Dovid Seltzer in your life. Now imagine the greatness. Me to you is one relationship. You to me is another relationship. You to Dovid is another relationship. Dovid to you is another relationship. Me to Dov- I don't know where I'm up to here. Okay? And Hakadosh Baruch Hu worked out all the trippy thing a little bit. I could just work out these three elements that all of us are in the center. And each one of us is serving that center in a way that the wanted for us to exist. And that's true multiply that by everyone in this room, everyone in this every year in the world. The I could just work out created a world for them and they're the center of the [clears throat] world. That's the That's I always understood that like that. That didn't happen 9 days ago. 9 days ago I started to understand something with my heart and I hope my mouth will be able to explain it. And that is like this. That means And it's it's a mission. It's true. It's MS. It's real. It's not a gimmick. It's a real thing. It means This is my world. It's my world, right? And that means that I cannot spend my life being afraid of my world. And I can't spend my life in a fetal position afraid to be me and to do what's coming out of myself because I'm afraid of the world. Not everyone here understands what I mean probably. I hope. But many of us understand what it means to grow up afraid of the world. This big scary world and trying to push ourselves to be accepted by the world. To be to be loved by the world, to be respected by the world. To out of a certain fear out of a certain like this fear of the big wide world. When I was in first grade, I was in to me, but people don't know this for first grade. Kindergarten through you know that? Kindergarten through first grade. I was a I was a very, very little shy kid and a very, very, very afraid kid. And I used to I remember clearly walking up the steps. There was a few front steps there. Holding on to the banister while all the big boys were rushing by. I was terrified of the world of the of the world. But it's my world. It's my This is my world. Bishvili never That's the flash of light. Bishvili never means it's my world. My world means that that it's not like, "Well, sh- sh- should I express myself here?" This is your world. This is your world. This whole world was created as as a stage. Go, be you. That's why the world is here and be you and be you and everybody else. Stop being afraid of the world. Step into the world. This is your world. And that's the Mesillas Yesharim's terrors. There may be thousands of Yidden. But this world was created for me. And there's no Beis Hamikdash now. And that's on me. I'm not saying it's my fault. That's not That's not my point. My point is this is my world. And in my world, where I'm the center of the world, one of the pieces of that world is that there's a gold dome where the Beis Hamikdash is supposed to be. And of course, I need to daven about that. I'm going to ask Oh, but thousands of other people daven. Those thousands of other people, the world wasn't created for them. And that's the Chayav Kol Echad Ve'echad Lomer because it's true for each person. This is my truth for me that the world was created for me. I want to tell you after Beis I'll stick a confession. Okay? There are some people that when they daven, they make a lot of noise. Okay? Some people They've been a rabbi a long time, you know? There are some people when they daven, they clap. You know people are clapping when they dive in? Maybe there's some people here that clap when they dive in. There's some people that they clap or they wave their hands or they jump. Some people jump when they dive in. And again, I I want I want to be honest that I always very very very much looked down on that. Take it easy. Chill out. Know your place. Everyone knows you're a good guy. You don't need to announce it to everyone. Like that's kind of You familiar with that kind of feeling? Like The nine days ago, I was realizing Why why shouldn't he do that? This is his world. And this is how he's expressing himself to his God in his world. I'm going to be concerned that Yechiel Shon might be like, "Wow, he's really getting carried away." I'm sorry, but clapping me, you're in my world. And I could just put you here as part of my world, but it's my world. And I need to be me in my world. Even if it means I'm acting out a little bit. Even if it means I'm saying something silly. Even if it means I'm jumping when I'm davening. But I have to inhibit myself because I'm afraid of the world is against the Mishna. This is my world. Why am I afraid of the world? This is my world. Okay, there's there's a there's a lot of different parts to that, but just the nekuda is important to realize. And there's a certain achrayis that you feel. You think if you walk around saying "bishvili nivra ha'olam", you're going to become a ba'al ga'avah? I spent nine days sitting with this. I discovered that it doesn't make you into a ba'al ga'avah. It makes you into a ba'al achrayis. This is my world. So, this person I have to take care of. This thing needs to be dealt with. This person should be thought This is my world. Hashem put me here. I have a job to do in this world. It's important. This is an important makom for me to Now, you might think I'm being very uh like focused on myself. Well, I'm sorry. I read a Mishna in Sanhedrin. I invite you to read the same Mishna in Sanhedrin and make the same conclusion about yourself. Because it's also your world. I'm I'm a prop in your world. I'm I'm part of the scenery in your world, but you have a world. And in your world, you're you're the center. It's your world. Stop being afraid of the world. Start serving Hashem with what's inside of you and stop making so many shidduch lines. Somebody, you know, it's very very hard for some of us to be so evil that someone's thinking negatively of us. I had the best week this past week. IT'S MY WORLD. YOU'RE THINKING negatively of me? I'm sorry. This is my world. It doesn't give me a right to to be not nice to people. That's not the I hope nobody is mis- misunderstanding me because you have to be very responsible when you have a world. But this is my world. Again, I'm not telling you a trick, a gimmick. We're not doing ayahuasca here, okay? This is a I'm I'm doing it This is Nobody knows what ayahuasca is. Um the the what what This is a serious This is a This is a missioner. This is a missioner. This is an MS. The This is my world. And if it's my world, then there's a mocking for me to be me in my world. And by the way, it really makes me have to answer to myself. One second, if it's my world, I can't spend my life living trying to be other people. I can't keep stepping into other people's shoes. They only exist because of me. I I have to find my own big boy shoes. I have to find my own self. The fact that someone that I admire did something could be a great idea or a trigger to tell me that that's what I should do for me. Maybe that's why I could have put him into my world. But being him is not my job. This really never This is my world. This is my world and I need to be me in my world. And that I I hope it's obvious that applies to every single one of us. We need to be ourselves in our world. What does this have to do with my This is the life. This is breath. And I I have found over the last 9 days that it has affected me on many many many many levels. Like just this sense. This is my world. I'm I have to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I was walking down the street in Queens and there was a guy walking by with a dangerous-looking dog and I'm a Brooklyn kid who's, you know, we traditionally are afraid of dogs. And it was like a certain thing. I was like, "Sorry, but this is my world." Like this dog exists in my world. I don't know why that means the dog wouldn't bite me, but but but it did something for me. It was it was something. Like this this is my world. This is my world. I like puffed out my chest a little bit. Like, "This is my This is my world." Again, I didn't expect the guy we walking dog to bow down to me. That's not the point. It's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying Hakadosh Baruch Hu created that person for me. So, I'm not going to go hiding from him. Hashem created him for me. How are you? I'm going to address that person. I'm going to I'm going to connect with that person. I'm going to be engaged with the world that Hakadosh Baruch Hu put around me. I'm going to I'm going to express myself in the world. This is the first time I I can't believe this is being recorded, but but I'm I'm going to say this anyway. Many many many of you know that I Kaylish knows this very well that I work for someone who's probably one of the biggest I'm alive today. Okay, I'm asking. Okay, literally knows Torah about pay. So, I work for him for several years already. I still am a little nervous when I start talking to him. I'm a little nervous. And I sit next to him in the basement and when I lean over to talk to him, I I feel a little nervous. Be honest. Not this week. This I was still very respectful to him and in fact, I I had a moment of emotion of grateful to Hashem that Hashem put him into my world. What? Because this is my world and Hashem put this massive time of Torah into my world. I'm very grateful to Hashem for that. I'm grateful for all of you being in my world. I'm grateful for Alisha being in my world. I'm grateful for Rabbi GG. I'm grateful for Rabbi Kalish. All of you have made my world a magnificent world, and thank you. But this is my world. I have to take responsibility. This is my world. And this is very to Kabbalah Satoru. Because after created man, he was waiting till till we get till we get the Torah. Don't make the mistake of receiving the Torah just like the message of Sham's casher that the nation of Klaue Israel accepted the Torah, and I'm part of that nation. What am I going to do? I also accepted the Torah. Maybe I'm even excited to be part of that nation. There was a memory that I heard about 2 weeks ago from the Russia Yeshiva that they said that when they sit down to learn a Gamara, maybe Rebbi Boruch Ber said it, that when he sits down to learn a Gamara, in his mind, the Torah was just given, and he's the first human being to ever look at this Gamara. That's what I learned in Yeshiva. It's my Torah that Hashem gave me the Torah. Gave the Torah if I never had a problem. And if I write a Torah then I'm not just giving us the Torah. Certainly there is a Torah that's given to the whole Klaue Israel, but I'm giving me the Torah, and I'm excited to go into Shavuot. I don't know how it's going to play out. To be continued. I don't know how it's going to play out, but I'm excited to go into Shavuot and to see what it feels like to be focusing not just on that the Torah is being given, but the Torah but to think about that I created the world for you. I'm giving you the Torah. What does that mean to you? How are you receiving it? What are you doing with it? This is a very personal day. Hashem in my world that Hashem made the this world for me, Hashem is giving me the Torah. And that's a very very very very meaningful day and that's what I wanted to to express. And again, tremendous tremendous Yasher Koach for being here. I think all of us we're all worlds. We're all worlds. We're either we're all the center of our world and we all have the guts to be part of the scenery of each other's worlds. But let's flex ourselves a little bit. Let's not be afraid of the world that we live in. Let's step into who we are and let's turn to our Hashem and let's see what is a fascinating new world for me. What does Hashem have in store for me? Yasher Koach. >> It's always fascinating. I'm curious what I am curious what I am. It's always fascinating when somebody speaks what somebody else is hearing. You could say and I've I've had a lot of funny things. Some guy's going to go home tonight some sad dick and he's going to say to his wife [clears throat] and kids I found out tonight we all live in some sunshine's world. Amazing. Amazing. Let's sing again. Let's talk. We need to give space for a lot of worlds. We should with time that we didn't sing it enough. >> [chanting] [singing] >> Yeah. >> [singing] >> Yeah.

Gabe wrote a song that he composed in Yeshiva that I wanted share with the Chevra.

It could be not with Aaron. I saw Aaron for a minute. Aaron, it could be right it could I don't know if he was singing it that early. At least you'll remember, but somebody composed the song to the words that Hashem taught us on the Yom Mam Yochis by Mam Mishnayos. Hashem the song Atem Tivlu Mamleches Kohanim and it's been like a rallying cry in Yeshiva for decades way over [clears throat] a decade of 20 years. The Atem Tivlu, this rallying cry Hashem promised us from the great challenges of our life, of my life, my friends, my children our dor is a is a there's a sense of shame that exists. A sense for a generation who've seen and there's and the exposure to different things makes people feel less than and not so worthy sometimes and the charge of today of of the Yom Kippur of that second day at the choir, we have Shem swore us, promised us that we are going to be holy nation. The preciousness of our people, it's been a rallying cry and a song of the Yeshiva. I'm going to ask the first time we'll all join in after. First I ask Green has been singing to our community, our Yeshiva and to Klal Yisrael for years. Gabe Goldman joined now and has lifted us up. And Azriel has been singing to the Yeshiva. So I'm going to ask that we stay with here they first then until we then the second time that we'll all join in. >> [music] [music] >> We are the people.

Why in the midbar? Come to the midbar. My father was was my rebbe, my father, the hero of my life. And my father was somebody whose default setting was to learn. He learned I never was around the person who learned so much Torah in my life. Late at night, early morning, lunch, break- It was learning. That was what he did. He learned. He learned and he learned and he learned and he learned. He was davek in Torah and avas Torah. And he was very worldly person. He was a good tennis player, wicked set of tennis. He liked water skiing, regular skiing. He was engaged in nice piece, nice barbecue. It was wonderful. He's engaged in the world. Everything I know about Torah Moshe Rabbeinu was set lashon hara on him by Aaron, by his brother and sister, by Miriam and Aaron HaKohen, cuz he like separated from the world. The Torah we have so speaks about the world. Avraham was fighting wars. Yaakov and Yitzchak were digging. Yaakov of course they mines with davek Hashem shivisi Hashem negdi samid. But it's a world anybody reads Torah, it's a world engaged in this world. So it tickles my mind. What does Hashem say? Come come to the desert. Lehavdil, the Tibetan monk who doesn't understand. So he maybe would understand come to the desert. To us who know what who who study Torah, who've seen tzaddikim and gedolim, there's an exception, there's a peirush it seems somehow harasha, nazir is called a choteh. Kedusha is the highest madregah to engage in this world in a meaningful way. So why does Hashem say come to the desert want to hand you a Torah? >> [clears throat] >> Come to the desert. Come come. Right in the issue of New Jerusalem, right in our cities in the entire So interesting. Go to the desert. L'chaim. Have a wonderful night. Koach u bracha. Yeshar koach. The terets like would ruin things. The kashas gishmas. >> [laughter] >> I said the terets is the not When the Sfas Emes like yearly says another pshat, wasn't like a rabbi who had to say drashas. So I used that one last year. I need a new thing for the heaven. What do I come up this year like It's not how the the Sfas Emes I was happening. The kashas energy. And the kasha that energy different times in his life produced different things. I have no idea. Let's all come to the desert. Bizarre. Chazal ask it. Any thinking? Come to the desert, I'll hand you the Torah. It's not anything I know about. And then you read then we we like receive the Torah, we learn the Torah, we live the Torah. It's precisely with him the Chofetz Chaim, the godol hador, the mashpia, the posek the posek of our dor. He had a He had a store. Of course he worked. Of course he was engaged in the world. He was working to support his wife, his children. Of course. Of course, obviously. We engage in the world. Well, that's Anybody who learns Torah knows that. So let's come to the desert. What's happening? Friction in the room, Yehuda? I a yid once asked. He said, "Critique my speeches." So I didn't want to I called the person that I was like a But he was like I chaperoned a lot. So I said, "You don't sell your questions." I wasn't be He He was like so cute. Like I'm not that type. I'm not such a performer, entertainer. It wasn't what I was saying. If there's no friction in the room, you can't teach a terets. You have zero. If there's no Only in the space of friction We all like we love questions. That to love everybody Who's the Who's the Yeshiva the community? We allow questions. You know anybody who doesn't allow questions? To allow questions is to allow your friends to struggle, by the way. You're not honest. We say we allow questions. I'm not I didn't mean to be so serious your question. Anybody struggling is asking a question. Somebody's talking in shul and you throw them out. Don't say you allow questions. You know, he's saying so he said don't relate to prayer. Don't say you allow questions and you don't People give lip lip service. We have Q&A Q&A as well. Q&A doesn't mean anything. Any real any real Most people are not asking their questions. We stopped Q&A the community was like two such honest people who's ask who's saying it's it's videoed. Sure, maybe you want to say your question to 10,000 people. Sure. My deepest I'm not telling you any I tell you I tell I tell my wife one other person maybe. Questions I'm talking about deep things that bother us uncertainties. Questions are very precious are very powerful. Questions my mission my mission things that bother us is very powerful. So not to regard the midbar come to the midbar to miss like bizarre Why isn't anything that I think I would know about turn that's not where it would be given it would be given my mission to the issue of my mission. >> Midbar is friction. That's it. >> Wow. Wow. Is that what hits you to go to the desert come come to the hard place? It's interesting interesting. That could have that could have could have yeah. That's why nobody owns the question and certainly that that would be something that could hit a person tremendously. I'm still like in the desert. I'm very visual. I'm in the desert. What's going on? What's going on? It's like so bizarre. Two people one was my son and one was somebody else told me something that hit them and it like resonated by me. So I want to share but I've no idea the answer. None. None. None. Friction the question. Come into the empty with the friction gishmak. I mean, it will bring you friction brings you to the best place in the world. Like drives and produces and creates. You know the person in the middle of a suda? So, everybody say, "We sat tonight from You're going to come home to your wife like what happened tonight?" I don't know. We ate. We sang. We talked. We this. I what? Some You know, you you know the suda in the middle of the suda? Have you tried tire now? The tire tire now? You stop your whole meal and you share. Now, of course, you should say tire to the table. Of course. Of course. Of course. Of course. What happened? What what Why is something that feels something so shh? Right tire. I like when I come into a room and you shh with the shmoozing hard. Shh. It's not shh. Actually, I want to continue what's happening. I mamish want to continue. It's not shh. The energy right GG speaks and shh. He's speaking. The talking. It's all the same. It's not a different thing. See, it's it's a different type of shh. It's not a different tire now. It's not what's happening. It's a go left. That wasn't my father said different tire thing. Wasn't like shh. Katati speaking is going to say it's going to My son was working out of town with two yidden. And they said like a sprach. He called me like bothered mamish. They said a sprach. They had like a line. Like we did for achatziluach. We did for ourselves. Now, let's thank God something. Let's learn. My son was very like troubled what they was saying very. I had this yeshivas will outsource like send the guy to I love therapy. Every person Our our whole generation should look into it. It's a beauty of our dark. We're we're we're looking in. We're all working on our inside. If you're not jumping, get busy. Come on. We're working on our inside. That's what the lave is putuach. It's good things happening. But I don't like that it's the yeshiva outside like a separate Nothing's out of the realm of Torah, nothing. Nothing. It's not like you're sued the way you're sued the whole way you have a suit. The way the way you schmooze is is is Our life is created by Torah. Two people said that if Hashem gave us Torah in the issue of then it would be Could you fit this in? Could you say it by Torah you're We're given where there's nothing and from here build everything. There's nothing out of the realm of Torah lifestyle. Because if you look at our community, different people, different tasks. It's like you go to work and you come home. My son was like I was thinking about Torah when I was working. I was trying to be more honest. I was interacting. I was I was mamish connected to Torah. Mamish. Mamish. It's like weird that Oh, we we like Messiah. We weren't Messiah. That's not it. What do you mean? Our whole life came comes from Torah. It's about Torah. It's through the Torah. It talks to every aspect. Mamish every aspect. So I said there wasn't like the Torah Hashem came to us and gave it to us in the issue of said could you stop this around? Could you fit this in maybe? Maybe at the Torah your table also? That's not what it is. The whole came the whole family partying and schmoozing and enjoying and kibitzing as well. We're people of Torah. You schmooze very mamish we're people connected to Torah. The Yid goes home to work and he comes to learn cuz he was like mamish his whole day was Torah and he's checking back into his mamish he's busy with this. This work we're doing Hey Torah, we come from Torah. Obviously there's no part There's no A guy in the Shiva A guy tells me I'm not working on Torah and I'm working on mental health. You think there's an area When I look in my inner sugia and starting to look at my insecurities and stuff I I've seen new things in the It's all the ba'al ba'al the ba'al. It's all from Torah in Torah. Our stories, our name, our essence, everything's in the Torah. It's all there. It's all from Tyra. So, that was this these two people felt that we received it in the desert where it's not stupid in your life, fit it into your life. It's from here, from nothingness. Here's Tyra and now build a life. Now go and build the issue, make a show, make a community, make now build everything, everything. No no aspect is this I love in in our community, I love the Friday football my other I can't get enough. I run back from Yeshiva and make the second half. I do want to see my son, he's a wicked football player, not bad at all. But I like the whole the parents there watching, cheering God. It's there's all the Tyra community. Our kids have outlets and enjoy each other and parents are cheering God to watch right Ross cheer for Yitzhak scores a touchdown is delightful. Exciting, it's smack, it's beautiful watching the different I love what Yitzhak Kalish is like the best ball player in the city to watch is Halo and Tata. I saw him to watch his Tata like enjoy and encourage and coach. This is all there's not like exotic thing where Tyra Kalish had a Every aspect it comes from Tyra's contained. I never felt when my father skied that he was disrupting from Tyra. He wasn't sick to say our interaction when we look at a tree and of course we enjoy the tree and so we should enjoy it. But we never but if you're it's like You don't say when guys are shh. We want to shh. What do you do tonight? No, we ate, we sang, we said the we didn't shmooze enough. Wasn't enough shmoozing. We'll warm up together, it's different half and not everybody's used to each other yet. Kalish talked way too much. But okay, so we have to be to shmooze in park but it's not like it there's no part that's not in the realm of Tyra, of a life of Tyra. It's not like the shmooze where I I saw him he doesn't come to you shh. The shmoozing was from Tyra too. You didn't enjoying each other and being together. It's like seamless. It's like I felt this and my father said they were First of all, you didn't just Of course you had sharing Torah, but everything was like from there, in there, involved in there. But things aren't a break up. Stop this, do this. It's all the whole entire thing is the entirety of our life. The whole day you and all and everything we do is comes from Torah. So I want to express to each other. We gathered tonight. This was wonderful that we have to do this more often. I want to say that I was thinking was on top of it. My mother pushed this and there's a beautiful schmoozing. The crazy We have to meet more. We have a good killer. What are we doing? Why aren't we meeting more? It's weird.

Benyamin is like a shine, the talking. You go there That's you could tell the matzah. The talking, the phones going off. Everything's all part of the same thing, a schmack. There's no interruptions. It's each thing. It's It's this room here. This momish room here. The should be killed. We need to respect each other. We need every light. There's no extra light in our people. We need to know our own light, that we have a light and then we could pull in others. By us. Pull in the other, include. Pull each other in. This was a great This was wonderful.
