Charlie Harary – Traits of Jewish Greatness

okay right on time right on time right on time right on Jewish time Jewish time okay first just again a little bit of the noise out of the way this week was a special portion partial Scully where the Jews are counted in order to know how many people we have but the way we were counted was by a half a shekel a half the coin because we're never really whole unless we have other people that we connect with so usually one thing we like to do in our shul before we begin the evening is we usually know the people were sitting next to maybe or at least one of them chances are we definitely don't know the person sitting in front of us or behind us so please just take a minute and introduce yourself wishes Shavua Tov Shalom Aleichem to another friend lady lady did you meet Ivan and Shawn they're awesome that make sure you mean so one of our so one of our values is Jews is very often when you start with a speech and you have thanked usually sort of run through it kind of quickly to get through the thank-yous in order to get to the speech one of the characteristics I think that our primary amongst many wonderful characteristics is what's called karana toad recognizing and appreciating and thank you the good and we have this wonderful wonderful opportunity I could not have imagined such a wonderful crowd of people together not just a number but in terms of specialness and I wouldn't be possible without three or four different parties first I want to thank my good friends Michael and Tara bloom [Applause] we planted the seed of the idea they brought in Charlie for the weekend was there her knishmas their grandparents on a hiatus Yaakov ended up in Belleville Ben Shmuel is if I'm the Raza their name should be for blessing and their neshama should have an Aliyah from the entire weekend so thank you please move back down south we miss you I also want to thank my good friends at James spire and JWR peor also sponsors the division of the project of project inspire the grassroots movement of mutual inspiration uniting Jews from all backgrounds which is always beautiful and affiliations and they take men and women on trips to Israel run programs afterwards after a few years of sort of harassing me thankfully I've been I've been able to find time and I want to thank my wife for allowing me to go to lead a trip as well if anybody's looking to make it to Israel I'm running a trip in November with Jayne Speier and JW RP there are many trips that run throughout the city so definitely look at some of the literature google them online and it's a wonderful opportunity to recharge refresh and refocus it's also big scuffs and a big honor to be able to have this sponsored by they were in the memory rather Ultra Ben Rubio Seville AV ultra Leibovitz on the occasion of his third York site that's an honor to have his wife get up and children and grandchildren with us and I remember revolta really just being in shools whenever I would come into Clanton park or shomer Shabbos sometimes a man who always had tremendous warmth the smile on his face exemplified kiba Dava aim was part of his legacy and benham LaFave arrow inspired I think of beautiful Mustafa some of which are in front of us and I cannot think of a more fitting tribute this evening to be able to learn be inspired and grow and put that into action that it should be a source and a Merit for his neshama and for his family to continue to go ahead and grow and be the wonderful leaders in Benet torah of the jewish people and this should only be a beginning of the swish this evening but it should carry on for many many years to come as well thank you and finally it's a big honor to have Charlie with us to be honest the only reason why I did this because I really wanted to hear Charlie so I had to find sponsors and people and just invite Charlie to my house wasn't gonna work yeah maybe next time holy wood okay okay 11 o'clock my house was on video uh Charlie RiRi's American investor strategic adviser lawyer Business School professor I didn't know any of that till I saw it on the flyer he's really just one of the most inspirational personalities that died in our busy lives there's so much content on YouTube and Facebook that that's hard to distill but definitely one of the people that always seemed to make it through my feed that I enjoy hearing from and not only enjoy hearing from but I find I walk away a much more potentially much more better version of me if I put it into action and it's a big squishin honor for us to have a him in our keel over here there's always thanks ease do you miss I actually just want to thank the some occurs there as well for organizing all of us together I just realized that I couldn't have that happen without mentioning it's a tremendous effort to bring out 250 people on a monthly Shabbos and to set up organized Upstairs Downstairs parking lots and everything in all the lead-up so thank you but in terms of having Charlie with us without further ado I think his greatest accolade is really not what he says but what he inspires in all of us and I look forward to not only hearing these words but hopefully these words seem to reverberate in our community throughout the world as a result of the talk in the experience we have tonight without further ado I'd like to love them and thank Charlie [Applause] it's truly an honor for me to be here Thank You rabbi for your kind words thank you guys for coming out snowy night which I think probably here is okay like a lot of somebody nights here but it's it's an honor to come here and see people in this room after the cold snowy night for you guys being here so it's really thank you so much I feel so blessed to be able to have the opportunity to speak to you tonight I want to tell you a story about maybe my strangest speech sitting in my office maybe four years ago and I get a call from a woman and as soon as she picked I spoke to her I knew this was gonna be an adventure she was from Buford Georgia and I said she said hello I said hello she goes hello my name is Betsy is there a mr. hooray there I'm like almost one more our she's like mr. Perret my name is Betsy and I'm calling from do for Georgia I'm like I can tell from your accent she goes would you like to come and speak at our conference I said well what's the name of your conference she goes it is the Christian Coalition of Technology I said you sure you got the right number she's like well yeah you are a minister aren't you might know she's like well you're a rabbi right I'm like my naraba she goes hmm well you at least a Jew like yes she goes that I'll be just ah and I said ok I mean what is it she goes want you to come down be our guest at our conference and you know like okay like I don't like you know I've never been to be before it never been sort of there I'm like you know what let me just ask my rabbi and say goodbye to my family and go to Beaufort pay a little fee to have me for lunch I don't know so I go before I before I let you go how did you find me she goes I watched one of your videos on a great website called ah ich komm awesome I said okay so I asked my rabbi and I said goodbye to my family and I boarded a flight to Atlanta and got picked up by a car and drove out to Buford I don't hear a big computer before why would you Buford's a wonderful town and at least what I saw Buford it's long patches of grass lots of churches football fields and gun shops which is just perfect I'm going and in church gunshot the pool filled church-going shop what film like this is gonna be an incredible day and at the end of his long long road there was a small little hotel and I get out of the car and I walked into this conference what's a major hotel and I kid you not the conference would have been a conference that you could see in one of our communities the conference is about technology and how technology could impact faith on children like we could literally a bad the same thing and I walk into this room and the room was packed and there's three presenters there's an evangelical minister but I want you to picture this he's like 35 good-looking short haircut and he is like a mid dictionary if you look at like charisma you see his picture he's like he comes in the room in the room just lights up he's walking he owns the place next times the Southern Baptist minister african-american man I like the Energizer Bunny and then there's me the Jew from Long Island and the conference begins so let me get let me give you those who are familiar I wasn't familiar the way it works in did you if you speak to a Jewish audience you get up here and you give you something and you sweat this out the rabbit gets up there and gives ad rush and sweats it out if you're lucky if they're an hour for a Jewish audience and they like what you say we say sky out sky earth is short for Yahshua color but gospel should we say two words let me turn it into like one word which is like it's a half like you're coughing cry off let's cry office when the rabbi he's done his whole suit is drenched with phlegm through all the scratch files read that that's it you get a sky up that's the gold standard in the Jewish world not in the Evangel of the world if they like what you say in the middle of their speech they will scream out mid-speech amen just the middle Amen if they really like what you're saying I don't know how they do it they have like this weird like ESP they say mmm-hmm but not one person like four or five 10 people I don't know how they all noticed like together but they go and you'll get a collective mmm-hmm she gets up there and this guy just tells it I mean he kills it he was quoted every single properties and they are loving him they are a many him they are healing him he's taught of these he's talking about David and the rock of David although it is small it'll slow the big July at the Internet may be big but it's our faith that makes us work because david has the name of the Lord and you never met and they are going out of their mind a many they're moving he is dancing with them I am sweating I've never seen this in my whole life and he sits down like it's like a regular dagger then the Southern Baptist gets up holy cow if you think the Evangelic girls are fun forget Southern Baptist you've got a minute hmm then you got extra credit let words they feel like what you say after they've gone through a men's and moons they will stand up and they will put their hands up and they will say preach on my brother in the middle people just stand up and they unbelievable this guy forget about it he's like but he's calling guys exact one of our people he's quoting Matthew and Luke I don't know who these people it's not one of ours but he knows them chapter and verse and he's floating and he's dancing and the people are up in the aisles amens who preach ons he is dancing with them I am like dripping in the corner the evangelicals not moved whatsoever and he's rocking and he sits down and then it's my turn and I get up and say in this week's parsha it says I didn't do that doesn't work in shul it's go work down that I get up and I'm like I tell - sinner to be like your own em have to lit up physical it was supposed to elevate it you know spirituality doesn't mean non-physical and means the elevation to physical and as to a whole speech about how there's something in this world that can be a potential tool for God and I am getting no amens I am getting no hmm and you can be sure I am not getting any preach on my brothers it's uncomfortable it's been a half an hour of a total dance fest and the Jew boys up there and it's like a library and I'm going out of my mind I'm like I don't understand I was like I prepared and I'm going and the problem was that I'm from New York I'm from New York you talk as fast as the words come out of your mouth because the minute you stops almost barreling right over you in the south that's not how it works you have to book slowly and you've got to give them a runway to get the amendment I didn't know that new zone and book for if you're a Jew and you end up in a Christian place how do you get an amen no one taught me that in school and I'm like Diane I'm going out of my mind and I'm going and I'm trying and at some point like you know Hashem whatever I don't need amen I'll just get I just live with sky Alice that's my lot in life to just get a bunch of sky ups fine I'm acabo all of your all of your judgments I'll go back to New York and I'll live with Flemish by us and I'm going thank you and I'm going and I'm just I'm just letting go and we have and do it for the for the sake of God and I take a breath because I'm exhausted and in the corner of the room a guy goes amen and I'm like sir I want to let you know something I was up here the whole time and I'm like I'm not getting any men's and I was getting a little subconscious but I want to just thank you so much because I really appreciate your amen and the crowd found out that this Jew boy wanted amens they Amen me to death and I was all and I was like I mean I felt like there like a man and I'm like and can I get an amen amen like can I get up preach odd and they're standing in the aisles there ain't many meet it was the best day of my life I called my wife I said Dino we are moving what about Jewish Muslim might forget that you were school hey man you down here so the conference is over I didn't want to leave but apparently it was over and I booked the flight from Delta that was like leaving I don't know 9 o'clock at night so they put me into a room to fight and I told him that I'm kosher like what do you eat him like just get me a few pieces of fruit and they went all out like they bought every single piece of fruit in the entire state of Georgia so it's me a little conference room and the Garden of Eden some sitting in the room Wi-Fi and just pounding fruit about ten minutes later the evangelical minister comes in and he walked into the room and he's okay this is the moment he looks to me goes good job in there Mike you get this he's like every time I speak they usually like Wow talking for a few minutes and then he gets really service and I'm like no no we don't put blood in the monsters that's not how it works whole thing is made off who were good people it's not like that well he looks mean he says I know I'm like what he's like I know Oh Michaels no because I guess you think that I know too so you know and I know so let's just at the same time say what we know you go first so he says about you people I know Oh Mike okay what is it about our people in particular if you wouldn't mind that you want to start with that you know she says you know I grew up and I was always man of faith my grandfather had a ministry my father had a ministry and I knew right away when I was going so I was going straight to the ministry I loved the Lord I love the Bible and he'd this guy can quote chapter and verse like I've never seen he's quoting Zechariah I can't uh III don't even know I have to stop this and you're probably ready to look at the Hebrew goes cool I got to tell you something when I was in when I'm in my church I always had this thought that somehow God hooks you people up something about you than God what was hooking you up and that was bothered me and one once I got to a certain level in his ministry he was able to take his first trip to Israel and I took a mission to Israel on the last day of the mission my tour guide said tomorrow we're gonna see the most sacred place right now in the world people the Western Wall this is the last remnant of their temple and tomorrow we're gonna go there be able to pray but thank God I can have this tour guide because it's probably closed to the public but this guy can like hook us up and get us in so the day came and I woke up in the morning and I gotta tell you I was sorely disappointed I expected to see nobody there except for a few really holy Jews the place was open to the public everyone I saw a group of people taking pictures kids with dancing tours or snapping pictures the one thing you have left the most sacred place you have on earth you don't court it off we don't seal it up it's open to anybody who wants to walk in how could that possibly be and I was so upset and on the way out I asked the tour guard how could it possibly be that this is the Jews last remnant of their holy temple that Sigma Sigma boys have on earth and they don't keep it for themselves they open up to anybody that wants to walk in it's public property is another desk Croatia the tour guide said no you don't send how it works the temple was the place in which God dwelled in this earth and we don't believe that God belongs to us we want the whole world to know he exists in fact that temple was a place that they used to bring sacrifices even non religion on Jews who bring sacrifices in that temple because this is our God we want the whole world to see so if anything we have a please place of the temple we want people to come in and tap into a little bit of divineness and as I walked out I realized why God hooks you up because you're as people and you're tasked with bringing him to the world so since you're working for the for the man you might as well get company benefits this is what you do your job is bringing him into the world so I understand if you're bringing him into the world you deserve to have certain benefits so I got on that plane and I gotta tell you I had a very interesting flight home because part of me was so proud to be a Jew like I'm a nobody I got a call from somebody so it's funny because as I walked out I go how did you get me he goes when I got back from Israel I told my secretary I'm like Betsy was like yep Betsy I said I told my secretary we're doing a conference about technology my first conference get me a Jew like I'm happy I was the one thank God for iishe calm my god on that plane and I gotta tell you had mixed feelings part of me was so proud I'm a regular nobody and yet I'm part of a people it's so glorious that some guy in Buford comes back from his greatest state in the world greatest country in the world and because I happened to be born as a Jew because I have to be a Jew I'm connected to this nation a part of me felt like is he even right are we really that nation if someone would look into our lives would they say oh these are the people that work for God all day if somebody saw how we acted in spoke and what we did in our goals would they say of course these are God's people I almost feel like we're like in The Tale of Two Cities you know I've never been easier and greater to be a Jew my grandmother tell me stories where when she first came to America and she was working as a seamstress she'd go to work and they would tell her if you don't work on Saturdays don't show up on Mondays did she get fired every week my first job was with a very waspy firm in New York I said earlier I first thing I did I'm from Brooklyn I wanted to work in the waspey a sperm ever when I went for my first shop I'm like I need wasps I have to compensate you know tell Matt I want a firm with mahogany walls I won guys with Roman numerals after their names I want people from the Mayflower my first week in the thing I'm never with the orientation I walk in they tell me welcome to our firm we're gonna pay you a lot of money and you're gonna work really hard I'm like oh yeah about the whole hard working thing I'm like it is October you think so next week's rush to Shana so I'll be out on ya it's Tuesday Wednesday this year so I'll be out tuesday oh yeah I turn to a pumpkin at night when it when the clock strikes sunset so I'll be out in the afternoon on Monday look good okay we go Mike oh then the next week's home can just begin I'll be sitting in a booth for eight days so how about I see you in December and they're like okay right my grandfather told me stories about when he was in Moon Koch and he was an importing that's what he did he had a little wagon he would go to another town and he would spend a week or wherever he went bread and water and that's what he ate because when we traveled there was no kosher food today when I travel every time I go on rest stop it's in my brain if it's in a package at this point it should be kosher you ever get that feeling I'm traveling and I'm like there's got to be oh you want it at some place I'm like looking at the package I'm like it's gotta be kosher right Scott packager Oh much how come there's no were you like what do you do all day it's a package there should be precocious wife's like charlie it says pour chips on it I'm like they can't make pork kosher by now what I always do all that they should be there should it be food anymore we walk into a room I don't if there's school dishes figure I made that kosher I kind of feel everything you want to learn every time someone wants to grow we're gonna go in a couple of hours we runt you the entire if you look if you speak to your great-grandparents for your grandparents and tell them that we're sitting in the middle of diaspora and we're under 15 hours from the Kotel on demand you have to log on and watch it live any sheer anything you want to know at any point at any time you look at you go like are you on drugs everything is available and with all of that do we really feel like we're killing it as a nation do we feel like we are killing it like we are the the light that we should be do we feel that way if I would turn to my great-grandparents when I'd say you see how much God gave us look what we do with it we're the light that we we've always feel like that how come so I believe there's a bunch of reasons but I believe there's one in particular I think there's one reason why we have so much yet we're missing something and I think it has to do with this month we are entering into the month of odda this week on Thursday and Friday we will enter into other variety and other we're gonna get into a real sort of speak the other shame and the month of Adar there's a famous Mishnah which started with then expanded into a Gemara and the month of either it says mission if nuts are there you know it's famous because it's a song mission if Masada Marvin Baer simple when you come into the month of Adar you have an increased amount of joy and the question is why why when you come into a dar do you have more joy what is it about the month of Adar that makes me happier is it because we have holidays or guess what if you can wait a couple of months and you get to Tishrei you have holidays every single week if it's the holiday just give it a couple of bits and then you'll be able to have joy if it's because God sees the story of Purim where we almost died and God showed up and saved us through the hum I got to tell you something if we can have a drop of patience and waited for me son God saves us in so much of a better way in the war month now I pay sucks God uses grasshoppers and lice and blood and Seas like it's so much more interesting and in a month that should really be joy how come other is the month of happiness probably if you think the poem by the way don't you finally as I thought if you're not gonna rain you have to drink all the holidays from order of holiness we're poor be like on the bottom you know what I mean like holy holidays are like Yom Kippur and cookies and shoe foolish God gives the Torah isn't like poor my da thought like hang out and drink a little bit more it could it possibly be that you come into the month of either because you get to drink on a holic really could that possibly be that the rabbi's are doing that I got a buddy of mine I'll never forget I was in law school we had a group of 4 people we had a study group three Orthodox Jews and an Irish guy this is the beginning of a bad joke Irish Catholic strong Catholic Irish Irish barks I'm God bless them they love to drink three but he says view is staunch anything I want to find out more about your news Mike it's okay like he goes I want to find out more about you dudes I'm like okay got you guys no no no I'm very interested in the hotend religion I wanna find order good luck okay listen we're studying for our our 10th our our criminal if we get an A in Krim law and we do well the next holiday after the grade you can come over yeah if you were like guaranteed we took you to the finals in December we got our grades in February what's the next holiday after February poram he comes rolling on on Purim he's like this is the best religion ever I'm play just wait for Yom Kippur he's like what's that I might just wave my friends as well could it be because we get the drink really Roberts Irish now for real why mishenichnas adar why is this month supposed to be the month where our joy increases so it's hard to speak about Aadhaar start to speak about this month unless we speak about maybe the most interesting and strange things that we do we do a lot of strange stuff but there's one thing that I think is all a live and there's one practice that we have that I believe in my core is the strangest of all practices and it could involves our obsession with one people we've had a lot of enemies in our lives there are a lot of nations in our history that hate us just how it is we need to be a people this is how we were all throughout history people look at us they get threatened by us they think we're bad or good or we're war mongers or a peacemaker and as a result they hate us and typically if files a very simple pattern people hate us they try to kill us God saves us and then we turn them into food that's usually how it works and out of all the people that hate us there's one nation that we seem to be obsessed with what nation is that Amalek is a nation called a male and it seems that we are so obsessed with them and we're so obsessed with them that we actually give them a special Shabbos the Shabbos is called partials ahora and it has to be that the Shabbos before Purim you cannot go into poram until you have a Shabbos dedicated for us to remember a mullick it's called partials up or the Shabbos of remembering and what we do is that we walk into a room and basically according to the Torah you know sat out in a minyan the only time really made there or I see of the diamond we have to here a minute is to hear this one few sentence part of the Torah when we speak about this nation of Amalek and who everybody comes to shul and they're Abydos okay we have two readings in three days four rings don't know guys seriously quite there's certainly quiet can you please everyone stay end up her but it listen pay attention ladies later ladies earlier got seriously seriously and the entire nation has to according to torah law show up and we read that there's a nation called Amala to try to kill us and we really read that we have an obligation to eradicate their memory and we have to come together and remember them because it is our obligation to eradicate their memory anyone seeing the little aaja chol problem here who here but for us even remembers a mullick nobody they don't live anymore they're not education anymore it's over they're gone nobody remembers them you go on the street and go tell someone I'm Moloch you think you're cursing at them they have no idea what you're talking about and even we don't even know who they are so we like makeup people the Nazis amah like guys who strap the bombs themselves I'm more like the I failed my my road test I'm all like for sure two Jews are fighting Medina no Medina Medina no Medina they like your Ramallah caramel we don't know about this we just find people to call a Moloch because we got to find a way to rally they know what exist anymore it's over we won it's it there's no groups there's old shoes from I like there's no trips in a mullah clan for like a week old JW I'm a like P whatever there's no there's no the only in fact nobody they are eradicated from the entire world the only nation who actually remembers a mullick is the nation who was charged with eradicating their memory anybody see a problem with this but maybe one bothered by this with always oh he remembers because we put them in the room have we lived in the back of the farm where they were before where everybody's in the country or the cottages we'd be like our kids will hear em out in a couple years the only people that still remember these people are the people that God charges with eradicating their memory but is your problem with this for me what in the world are we doing so I'll tell you stories so I I think in a previous life I think I like was in some army I'm almost positive but like I like Arcola or something because I am like obsessed with the Israeli army like the whole concept of like fighting and Mossad I don't know the guys will add sure if you don't I'm talking about so because I'm not even officially I like file a lot of like army blogs and conspiracy and I'll do this but I was in Buford once it's okay I feel like a Beulah and like I follow like what's going on I try to figure out like Moosa cuz I feel like you know they need me one day the Mossad may be like hey Charlie listen we need some people you might hooking us up and I want to be like up-to-date with what they're doing so there's all these like deaths go finally these different sites that you can go on to sort of see what the Mossad and what intelligence is doing and I'm obsessed with it I just that so for those of you who are following this there is an enemy that we have now who has a very original idea and their idea is let's destroy the Jewish people incredibly original and they think they're gonna win they're called Iran right I just can't wait to see after they're gone what type of food we make with Iran it's gonna be great I'm sure it's gonna be spotty and he's fighting in the room is gonna be spices there's gonna be homeless involved I'm sure it's gonna be delicious very fattening but that's okay because we have midst of us to stuff like that I love by the way how we figured not only make our enemies and our miracles all food but we somehow feel like God like hooks up the calorie you don't like God like God came in and helped us with oil to light the candle or like Oh oil to light candles oh let's eat oil as well cause like I usually pretend of like why don't we deep-fry everything for eight straight days we get me some oil and not only that but somebody's like oh if you eat oil and Hanukkah you don't get calories you know like my Shabbos tomorrow comes in I just can't wait Iran's gonna be a great food I'm telling you it's gonna be wonderful spicy but it's okay calorie free it's on God Iran has a site do they want to kill the Jewish people's here's what they do they building this nuclear bomb and their idea is doesn't send the bond into Israel and they're going to destroy the Jewish people's possible so if you remember those who following the program with Diana and me my mom I'm not my most sad friends the way we're following it is in the beginning the program was going and then all of a sudden for years the token basically went offline if anyone was following us and now it's making your resurgence and you ask yourself well what happened why did it go offline for tuning in feels and the answer is because the Mossad and the CIA had a joint mission and they actually went in to Iranian nuclear facilities and they planted in the facility a virus called the stucks net buyers Google and what they did was an Israeli spy got into the facility a planted the virus and it was so sophisticated that anytime the Iranians were able to target the virus the virus split and multiplied so over the course of just a few weeks or months the entire nuclear facility was basically reduced to just metal scraps now Iran understood that Israel was going to be their enemy and they also understood that in 1981 Iraq their next-door neighbor same idea and when I wrap it with the silver buttons really fiddly sent in f-16s remember Ilan Ramon the one passed away and he was one of the fire Jets is a great book called raid on the Sun if you have now unbelievable how they didn't incredible they five Jets came in and they destroyed the facility and they got home on touch thank God and basically destroyed their program so what Iran did was I ran built around their facility the most sophisticated ground-to-air missiles that that was available today and they filled it with the best technology and they were sitting around waiting for the Israeli fighter jets so if you can just picture for a few minutes with me just enjoy this moment Iranian guards controlling for his really fighter jets it's probably screwed up in the sky like we're on these valleys we're obviously Danny's you know bring them on being I met like L jihad jihad jihad you know talking about and they're like they're so scary so we'd be where all these there is and meanwhile behind them is a virus probably being controlled by like two Israelis like in a bunker and Damona you know I'm talking about two guys in a room probably doing the Turkish coffee with the coffee the dirt on violet dipping olives and homos talking a million miles an hour you know your name and they say and meanwhile they're controlling to Israel that controlling and these are relative like there's no week they so been there's a week where are there are they the entire facility I get so much joy just saying this note the greatest mistake the Iranians made is the moment one ruled in warfare is that if your enemy changes its face it doesn't mean he goes away and when you prepare yourself to fight in front and you leave the back wide open the back comes in and does more damage than what's right in front who was on my lake why do we care 2019 about this nation that most people don't even know so you have to understand who we are from the beginning of who we are the Jewish people show up in the beginning out of Egypt and one of the greatest mistakes that we make is that we think that the reason why God brought ten plates to Egypt was to get the Jews out as if the creator of the world needed to bargain with Perot as if God's like can you pretty pretty pretty please and I was like no I can that God's like okay blood now and my powers like not impressed yet and he's like okay bring in the frogs and God said I'm getting exhausted and I'm reducing how many money left and I have I'm like and finally after 10 rounds powers like okay and God's like I just can't produce my whole life guys let's get out of here as if the man that God created needs his permission to take his people out 10 plagues I think guarantee you wasn't because I didn't touch them could have taken us out I shoulda told Moshe here's the deal on Tuesday afternoon lights are out unto an unarmed it's Ryan Eve could have been out blackened out and the Jews could have been in Israel pounding shwarma 's on Ben Yehuda Street before the lights went back up in the duper's ago where all the Jews go we don't need to play pyros game why in the world do we go ten rounds with that man and the reason is because of the following thing with the time of Egypt the entire world believed in power there weren't atheists atheism is a relatively new invention it began a little bit in the Greek Empire but it's relatively new back in antiquity people weren't atheists they believed in power they believed in so to speak gods but they had won a solution how how higher power worked higher power was there they believed that the power was there and you served the power you sacrificed for the power but the power was almost they were almost agnostic to who you are it didn't matter that I care about you they didn't know you they just ran the Sun or the wind or the Stars or whatever it was that you served the nations at the time Egypt being the center of it believed in a certain type of higher power of divine power of godly power but they saw a godly power as being just the power that's on top and God wants to introduce who he really was because the way we interact with God is in two totally different dimensions and they're both part of who he is there's a piece of God that is high that is the power that runs the world that's what everybody in this hood in our world every single day we say nor our mission statement is Sh'ma Israel hashem elokenu we say assemble okay because were saying he is the power but there's another aspect of God that is maybe even more crazy maybe more powerful and that as he's not only a power that exists on top he is a power that is in our lives he's not just a king but he's our dad he's with us on carpooled he's the boardroom he's in our houses he's with our children we don't take a step without God we don't take a breath without God everything we do every aspect you're and doesn't matter if we're this religious or that religious all that stuff Hashem is not only L okay no he is a hug he is unity he is everything and there's a period of time where the whole world said that's impossible and God chose Egypt like is Egypt with the epicenter of the world right now we're living in North America North America is the epicenter of the world if you go to especially in America by the way if you go to Europe and you ask you have to follow American politics everybody knows what's going on you ask any of our children to name like 10 European cities were like we have no idea in fact most of people don't even know your if it wasn't for the live map on the El Al flight to Israel hooting another year Bergen exists because right now the epicenter of the world is this part of the world in that time in antiquity Egypt just went through controlling the world's food and as Jews wins and how important that is and the entire world went through Egypt the epicenter of civilization was Egypt the most powerful man he wasn't a president he was a dictator the most powerful man in the world at that time was pero he stood as the representative of humanity and he stared at God and goes you could be up there but you're not in here you can't figure out what blood to give you can't figure out which houses the head if you're gonna kill the animals you're gonna know which animals are Jewish and non-jewish you're gonna bring all these animals think you know do you know which blood keep the truth are you crazy you're gonna know which kids are firstborn how the hell do you know that you know what you exist you exist up there and the entire purpose of the ten plagues was to do an experiential lesson for the entire world with the most powerful man that I am not just God that lives upstairs I am God that lives and Hebrew we say micariff Haaretz I am Alan I am in the world I know who's the firstborn in the house I can tell you which animal is Jewish and Egyptian in the same stable yeah I can have the blood I know the person who drinks that blood if it's water or if it's blood I don't just live up there I'm not just this king I live here I live in your life I live with you I don't know how this started but along the way we've managed to figure out a way to take God and put them up here I don't know when this started we think God is there where's Hashem there what does he do I don't know he hangs out probably in Israel and once the vacation will go to have round he speaks Hebrew and he wants to like throw it up a drop of throw some Aramaic in there he spends most of his time with really holy people but can I tell you one thing God is not anywhere near my life maybe on Yom Kippur I'll roll in and if I can just you know go through like 30 days of I'm sorry followed by 10 more days I'm sorry and then comes a super fast if I'm sorry at the end of it finally God's like oh can I can I can you get a little out of can you scream a little atticus he saw a little more let me think should I put you in well you're not gonna get bit Sadiq let's stop at that for a second so you Ben Oni or Russia Ben Oni or Russia mmm okay fine you get to live another year and that's it see in a year somehow we've managed to take the creator and stick them up yes somebody where is heaven you know what they say where up someone's eyes and ghosts we're up I don't know where do they go I don't know up it's probably a place that's probably very light I don't know it's gotta be a pool right I mean it's gotta be pulling heaven no it's gotta be food it's a Jewish place people think the people we people think we die and go to a Pesach programmer holes and you know what I'm sure there's bread as well right so you know what we die and we go to ass party pays off because somehow along the way we have taken the creator of the world the greatest thing that we have the thing that we're here to represent and stuck him up guess what Hashem is not there is no the sky is up Hashem God is in he is in the world spirituality is not up spirituality is in and everything that we're doing is trying to reveal that resides in fact our only real experience of God in this world comes from what's within us God is in our marriages God is in our children God is in our work here in everything in life our job in life is not to look up our job in life is looking and I speak to people tell me Charlie you don't understand I'm into it I'm not into it I'm this religious this religious I go to this Hoshino but I don't feel anything I come from this background I don't get anything and everybody walks around with this thing that they're not kidding and I tell people time you have no idea who you are you never have to become spiritual there's no such thing as a Jew becoming spiritual because you have built into the system more spirituality than you'll ever need your entire life you are created with a piece of God that's more than you'll ever be able to access a whole life you never have to become spiritual no Jew as far or as closer they could be whether they're into it or not whether they feel it or they not no one ever has to become spiritual it's built into the program if your eyes are open you have more spirituality than you can ever access in your lifetime you'll become spiritual you reveal spiritual just the question of how much you're gonna dig in just a question of how much you're gonna get underneath there it's all there already there's no two people that have more or less when you suppose a big goggle he doesn't have more of Hashem he just spends his whole life working through sophomore you spent this whole I've tried to access what's inside them already no one's better than anybody else no one's more than anybody else I just some people are working hard to get it out and that came into this world in Egypt which is why God says if I'm gonna have ever ever one day everyone's going to talk about my miracles make it on Passover because I want you guys sitting around and telling your kids what I did because I don't want your kids thinking god forbid that I am just the god of pyro I'm just up there and you know what power bought it hook line and sinker how could he not he said kid go and get me a brother as well and you know well support it everybody when God put the juice of the seed and he split to see the measure says that everybody but as well everybody bought it when later on when you know sure when Joshua sent in spies into Israel and Russell would say to him you have been saying something we all know what happens the entire world said hey wait a second some God took these Jews and Egypt he paid down maybe because in this maybe there's a gun maybe God maybe God in the world everybody bought it except for one nation they were living in the south of Gaza they're called on mullick and they couldn't handle it they couldn't stomach it they couldn't even digest the fact that we're gonna have a real understanding of God's you know what they did they left their place we never had a nation come and leave their place where nations say that we're in their zones and we're gonna overthrow them we had a nation saying they're coming close to our countries you want to kill them we had a nation telling us that you live in our don't trust them come on says they live in the middle of you we've had nations say that we get too close to trust the Jews we have never had a nation say the Jews are all the way over there let's get up and go fight them and the only goal that I'm Moloch wanted was they didn't want to beat us you know what they wanted to do they wanted to just draw blood that was their goal as a manager says they wanted to jump into a hot pool and just cool it off a drop because what they wanted to do they would they do they couldn't destroy we're God's people God pull Savannah need to program it died out I'm all like that wasn't even their goal their goal was to just draw blood because if they do blood the nation's would go I don't know you know I thought this whole shoe thing was working well but like they just got difficult maybe maybe not maybe most you got lucky they introduced what's called depth in Hebrew it's called Suffolk Suffolk and I'm mulling has the same numerical value as the GU matsuri of Suffolk because the whole goal on bollocks existence is relaxed you think God's in my life robot calm down we'll just come back from seminary you just recharge you come back from seminary minute ago he barker sharing me all day can you stop at that for a second really did you see parked in like 30 times can you chill just drop well I'm there very inspired it's beautiful one he's not easy trust me is that my job do me a favor do me a favor it's wonderful I love it he's a whole yeah okay stop let me tell you how it worked in the real world in the real world you show up you pray a little bit give the rabbi an extra check you go out in the real world what goes on outside the golem on my leg is to introduce into our heads that doubt God thought in my life God's not in front of me there's no way God could brought me that challenge there's no way God can do that God trust me I'm not a holy person I'm not a religious person I guarantee you that the big God up there is doing way more important things than worrying about my little insignificant unholy and a mullick his entire mission is to do just that and they come at us and they draw blood and then for the first time ever what was introduced into this world was doubt you mess with us we'll let you live you mess with our dad we'll never forget you so how in the world are we still remembering them for why do we bring them right in front of poram and talk about them we won they're over their day I get it they did this once a long time ago it's unfortunate there's no more Amala Kenny more and the answer is the truth is it's still here almost does it have any more nations and they don't have more people there's no more ground-to-air missiles of ammo like but you know what I Moloch still is they've changed themselves from actual individuals fighting us from ground-to-air missiles from f-16s that are flying in front of us to being just a virus so Molech right now represents the virus that's inside us so yeah we walk around and we're so proud of ourselves we're walking around as Jews go and look how great we are as a nation big fools big airplanes big nation big army apps kosher food you name it we own the place and there's two guys in the headquarters of a mullah con computer's going exactly exactly hmm gods on in your life I got that look how beautiful this family looks like gorgeous day look how wonderful family is look I wonder they look so nice look how nice to dressed it's everything uh-huh God's not with you God's wrong with you either you talk about each other way destroy each other huh in your language just take these people down huh they look different than you know I love this to choose fighting each other this is also Gotha in any of you I got you and I got you and I got you and you can walk around and have wonderfully looking Jews and in their hearts there's a virus called a mullick the viruses God's not in front of me God's not in the secular world God's only in shul as great as we look and as big as our missiles are they can sit around and they can take down animation just a little bit every year God says don't you walk into my poor oh don't you walk into poem until you get in the room in the room stand up you know why you think you beat them wait you think you beat them you're so proud of yourselves really you think you win we think like we got this because we can go to Israel we can learn a little too we think we let me tell you something I'll tell you when you beat them God says when you see Messiah you'll know you beat them until then they're still here but guess what don't don't be an Iranian national guard I'll fall for the easiest trick in the book you think cuz they're not flying f-16s you beat them they're in the back they're taking Jews and destroying them they're taking families and making them they're telling the family they're telling regular wonderful Jewish people that if you don't do these four things God's not with you they're the virus that's inside your heart stand here stand up and remember it's your job in this world to be a representative of me yeah it sounds crazy to say that God's in my life that's your job root him out root them out you better search your heart and with every aspect out of your heart of that doubt because that's why we're here so why do we do it now for because if you know something amazing every holiday we have has one thing in common every holiday one thing income it we have a problem and God shows up and it saves the day every holiday Passover pace off God shows up and safety the next holiday sugar is God showed up and gives Torah the next holiday we have this on Yom Kippur kind of down cause his dick Circus is the clouds of glory even Hanukkah we come in and God shows up and the miracle of oil there's only one Holly that we have where God is completely on the surface absent the story of Purim took place in Shushan by the way could took the place and any other place in the world if you remember the story of Purim basically it's just one Minister that passed the law against the Jews and another Minister that got the King to not stop the law to allow the Jews to defend themselves I guarantee you throughout our history this happened a lot of times one town had a minister that was an anti-semite and but he got the minister either repeal the law or to defend ourselves that was the entire story the entire story was yet Adam Han who passed the law yester who got something else on the books and the Jews got up and defend themselves and lived another day there's no God if there's a place in Israel more to hide after are anybody who names there's no usual I am there's no Israel there's no even mention of God's name the entire story is 100% secular and God says you're gonna walk into my holiday and you look at a holiday it doesn't put you in shul doesn't have you pray you get to walk around and dress up and drink and I'm not gonna settle the story and you're gonna walk through that holiday and if you're looking to go where's God here god this show up God did approve a miracle and hago said oh no no you wearing the wrong glasses just look at the virus you come to shoulder weekend beforehand and you remember that inside your heart is at my lake inside out your heart is that person that says God's on in this world and if you do that on my like you're gonna walk into palm you know you're gonna see God everywhere you can look in the story into a wait a second she dies and she takes over she happens to be there the king falls asleep and he gets up the middle of the night and we could think more to hide and what if I shows up don't you see God everywhere I'm gonna buddy talking about God's nowhere and even go what do you mean don't you see God everywhere when you rip out the doubt in your heart that God's in your life you look at the world with glasses and you see him in everything and God goes you wanna know you supposed to and perm you want to know the area says why perms are how holy state of the year do you want to know mission Nick Masada Marvin because you know what's simpler really is you know what it really needs to be happier to do this which we say simcha Qataris Pacific was there is no joy than the release of doubt goggles you want to know we supposed to do in this period of time one a wife a happy a month of the year because it's one month where you get to look around and fight the doubt that I'm in your life it's awesome to be inspired when we have the moments of inspiration who is it inspired by Yom Kippur it's awesome to go to Israel for a couple of days and touch the Kotel and feel inspired but guess what then you can back to life and you go back for work and you go back to the regular but can you imagine if you have a holiday who's trying to not take inspiration from the top who's trying to find inspiration from the ground if you can find unique God says in your life in a regular story if you can start to get rid of doubt in your life you know what you get for that you get something so much deeper you get the life of meaning you see me everywhere you get true happiness true Jewish happiness because you walk through your life and you spend your life saying my God is my dad I don't have to be the most perfect person for my dad and you parent in the room know what I'm talking about how many parents have a kid come through you go half to me how about your day and the pecos because I didn't get an a on the test I figured you wouldn't want to talk to me because I was talking if I don't get an A and a dad or a mom cuz what are you kidding me you think I need you to get an a to talk to me I'm your mom I want you to tell me everything and the kid goes why would you want to hear about all the little things you can what are you kidding me I wonder about the bus rides and all about your friends is there a pair of the room that it's looking at their kids and going only you forget aids I want to spend time with you you know it means to be a parent it means I don't love you if I love you period I love you just because you're mine I love you when you're waiting when you fail I don't need a condition to be in your life I am your parent do you understand the level of torment that a parent would feel if the kid doesn't look up and say I did no idea I thought you only loved me when I did well in school you look up at God and go I didn't know you wanted to be have a relationship I only thought you were with me when I was being a perfect Jim I'm not a perfect Julian you love me as a regular totally flawed I can try to be better but what Hashem says you think I'm just a volcano you think I'm just a king you don't even get to the King three you get to our vino you think I'm just a king you don't think I'm your dad oh you got to fight their Moloch virus move that out because you can't be my nation you can't be glowing with godliness if you think I'm only around when you're perfect because you're in this earth just to show people what it means to find God in a boardroom what it means does have children and see God in your children that's the hardness that's the challenge that's the opportunity of what it means to be his nation and the challenge and Happiness rests in the world of regular an Aadhaar is the month of regular the holidays regular the story is regular everything is regular and if you can find Hashem in regular then you have him forever when you find that the person that you love loves you when you fail if you're married and you find that your spouse loves you and you fail you have that spouse forever as soon as a kid realizes that mom and dad still love me even though I brought home a bad report card or I failed I remember as a kid my I never felt close to my mom that when I missed the winning shot to a basketball game what do I know is the sixth grade I missed the shot I came home I couldn't come out of my room and mom goes you think I care about the stupid shot the thought that a kid has that you don't got to press your parents because your parents love you no matter what you know what that feels like for a child happiness should Kniffin us other mom is simpler maybe that's what we're missing as Jews maybe we have everything except for that clarity maybe just maybe our nation right now has everything everything except for one little bit of clarity that our Father in Heaven loves us no matter what there's a great rabbi nizzle name of C Meyer we're through Meyer says if you want to know what will bring and hasten the redemption it's the fact that we need to impart into our hearts as Golda gödel the greatness of ava's Hashem the greatness of God's love for us let me end with one story and then I'm done you may have heard this before but I love it it's my favorite story I think it's worth or she spoke once everyone here the de vere story okay she did thank you for not saying yes I'm gonna end with this one thing and then I'll call it another in the latest Gaza war there was a woman who had just lost her husband to a car accident about a month after her husband died her son got called into battle in Gaza she was going out of her mind she all said she didn't want her son to go she wants her husband but what was she gonna do the Israeli army called and she's a patriot the army and he went into battle and the worst thing happened about a week into a battle the army closer and Mill denied and says we have bad news your son was killed and she breaks down that's it her husband dying was close when her son died it was it she basically said I'm done living she gave up everything and she kept her locked herself in her apartment for months she has another daughter son and a daughter her daughter Coulter she's in mocking out email come out I'm not coming out email I have children your grandchildren they miss it she goes I'm not coming out I'm not living I don't God doesn't love me no lock the door a week five weeks six weeks two months and can't blame her two months later one of her friends said to her listen is a big rabbi coming to town she was I'm not listening to rabbi's I'm not doing anything I'm living my life in this house with the lights off forever she goes please come to the class she comes to the class and the rabbi speaks about God being in your life and she's like half nodding through it she comes home that night and she turns she sits down a house and she looks up to heaven she says God he took my walk my husband and you took my son I understand we make sacrifices for this land I get that but I want to know that my son is okay her son's name was de Vere I want to know that my understand that he died and he died for you and for your nation and I'm okay with that that's what happens when you send your kids into the army you take that risk but I want to know that my dear is okay and here's the deal I make with you God I'll know that you're taking care of him and I'll be okay with it but I want to give my Devere one more hug I want my dear one more hug you give me a hug with my severe I'm good she said that they're okay true story this is going on I'm sure but the lady lady spoke in Toronto two weeks later she has a call from her daughter she says ah EEMA it's almost to be shot there's a tu b'shvat get together you know and Israel they they they they have the fruits and the whole deal you have two grandkids they missed their SAFTA come on please she was okay I'll come to the to be Shabbat get-together she goes to some area and they have nuts and the kids are playing kids are running around and she walks over and she's sitting around and she's a nursery school teacher so when you're nursery school teacher kids come to you no problem any worse we lose you like a little Morris are like magnets for kids you know I'm talking about you could have like a amaura somewhere and like every kid's like more amore amore amore that's amore czar god bless them that the greatest people in our nation some have mowers in candy men are like the greatest people so she said Mora she takes me a little kiss used to before she quit so some little two-year-old comes running over and so it's like hanging on her life she's like who's this cute so she's like playing with him a little bit and all of a sudden like you know the teeth the the mom comes over to like try to pull the kid away and the kid won't go and she's playing and she's oh it's okay I'm a more I'm okay and she's seeing her grandkids in the distance and it's little kids literally attached to light and this mom looks like she just can't get it together this poor mom looks like she's totally over him she's got a kid in her little pouch and the kid is just crying and screaming and snotty and crying and losing it and her two-year-old acting some stranger and the mom is like pulling her hair out and she says she's telling this kid get off her leg leave the Kythera alone and she he's just hanging out there and she was okay it's okay and she's losing it and she goes and the mom goes listen give me the crying baby i'ma stop though I've done this before I'll take you tandel the kid wants a toy or something a carob tree I don't know what they want so she takes out she she takes out the baby and she hands it to this woman and the second she hands it this woman the baby stops crying like as if like she the grandmothers have that touch she's a bobby softer grandma wherever you were she's just rocking and the kids like googling at her and she's like oh and the mom like she goes you know I feel like the kid likes you better than me and she takes care of this two-year-old and she goes she's cooling him and she goes what's his name and the mom goes his name is de Vere she goes to vir that was her son's name who died she was Tevere what a strange name why would you name him de vere he says well I'll tell you it's a crazy story when I was pregnant with him a few months ago the doctor called and said they got some tests back and he was gonna come out big if alive at all incredibly it would have been a disaster they weren't sure if he'd make it if he was a viable kid a fetus and if he did get if he was born he would be born with so many complications he'd spend the rest of his life in a hospital and I was broken and I went home that night and I prayed to Hashem I said I Shem please I want to raise the kid make him healthy and that night I saw on television that there was in the Gaza war a casualty of war there was a man named vir who just died and I said Hashem if he comes out healthy I'm going to name him de vere in memory of that soldier and this mom is giving her the vir one last hug you see if this would happen once it'd be cool I've did a video two weeks ago about thank you I sham some of you have may have seen this before I got a hat you know it's amazing I did this thing I went I miss my friend's wedding and I spent the whole day saying thank you I chemin at night I got a package could I tell you something amazing since that video went out I think I've got a hundred calls and texts from people with their own story a Hashem just showing up their own little Devere stories you know why because when is a big story out there everybody knows but we don't know of the little stories they don't make it to the news now Instagram apparently it does it's a new thing so we think that God is big and we never meet enough people to get everyone in the room so we can all realize that I'm not big I shouldn't is also right with us all of our little mices their stories they never make it so we don't know that millions of people have their Devere stories because God is not just L okay no he has a HUD he's Beaucaire authorities he is mine and your dad and can I tell you something as much as you think you're not worthy of him that's not how parenting works if you have rough montes on your children you can guarantee God has more mercy on you and maybe our job in this world is to stand up and to start to look for him stop waiting for some major miracle to be inspired and to start seeing him in everything that we're doing maybe our job is to see God in our regular lives and to point him out and to feel his embrace maybe our job is not anymore to be big maybe it's to be small maybe it's to be a little light on ourselves and our nation's maybe it's not to use f-16s maybe it's just to start to clear out the virus in our hearts so if we have children that they don't have that virus and we have friends they don't have that and we go to work and walk our gaze people look at us and go there's something about this person I don't know what it is about them they just walk with God maybe our job is to finally stand up and fight a mullick to live as poram juice because yom kippur doesn't come Porou comes all the time every once in a while he opens the world but not anymore maybe just maybe if we became those people who knows when they call us for the technology conferences and they say we brought you down because you know what you do for a living you work for God you could look at him and go you know I may look like a doctor and a lawyer and a mom and a nurse but you're absolutely right you know I work for I work for my dad because too many people think that my dad only loves a few righteous people and I'm on this earth to show everybody that he's in my life so he's probably in your life too so it looks like I'm a regular person but you know who I work for I work for the company I work for the man and that should be the greatest gift that we give him and we give ourselves and if we live like that I think in my heart we'd walk around we'd have good days and bad days but it wouldn't matter because at the end of the day we'd walk around and I think we would touch the true measure of sympho and it is my blessing for this holy holy crowd that when it comes time for God to reveal himself in the world and the ship comes here my blessing is that each and every one of you should stand in line and when you meet him you should tell you thank you for bringing me God should tell us in a time where nobody knew I was there thanks.thanks of being one of my few soldiers that walk the streets and brought me into the regular world thank you for not just believing that I'm up in the world but thanks for continuing seeing the legacy of your great-grandparents and believing that I'm not just there that I'm here thank you for living not just my social okay no but thank you for living a Channahon we should be open to see those days where Sean reveals ourselves and we should be sofa we should have the good fortune standing tall standing proud being his child and living a life of true true godliness and true true happiness
