The Power of One

[Music] love shot came into a sativa and he took a look at all the guys in a Shatterer he said that guys about sugar that guys about Truman that guys about children that guys about children said I've shot got up in a shutaura and he said my friends he said these words if one man can kill six million Jews one man can save six million Jews do that this is a shot speaking in Asia tour [Music] Renaud was a man of greatness he always used to say give me ten men and I can change the world he would start yelling wake up wake up wake up he was sure that before he dies we're gonna finish the job right what did you fight for something Judaism was a walled garden grove Noah took a sledgehammer and broke a door into that wall he saw a need to help the Jewish people come back he lived it this was the power he gave the basis to remove it we're fighting to save the Jewish people and we're gonna win the first thing about my father is almost you didn't hear the word killed it's love its responsibility this is your brothers this is your family you take care of them you love your children he used to say to our cutters Berkeley please help us to love your children the way you love your children I met with Nora I had never seen anyone like this before the first thing I heard about was Colley's holidays I was falling apart what are we gonna do bring back the Jewish people all of them now no excuses we've not was a unique visionary where did he get that kind of vision from my father was this wild child that just didn't sit down for a moment he actually became very American because he was youngest and his family and he was shaved and he got into the sport he loved the American society but my father always remembered this my grandfather every time used to meet him used to stop him for five seconds no yeah - getting stats if I run and I got used to speak Yiddish sis do you remember that there is a god she's for sure for sure dad says you have a big big Mitzvah and my father said the Emunah started to go into his blood he kind of had it drilled into him from an early age and he drilled it into his tile meet him you got an Amish em loves you his father was completely caught up in learning would cause Amish nice on the street but have told me he remembered having to pull on his coat to get his attention when they were walking in the street I knew of no I was a bundle of her since I was about 16 years old were roommates together for a couple years in nearly soil learn together Baja Musa I remember once someone was a sell a car for about $50 it didn't have any fenders the wheels were exposed was a wreck but a road well had good motor I put in $25 an 8-pin $25 and he bought the car together didn't concern the Lisa it looked terrible on the outside as long as it got us their destination you want to be a wanted telephone no question about to us he was he was a Thomas Holcomb who was his mind was up there but his feet were on the ground I won him he was like a fighter a warrior on the other hand he was a tremendous Thomas Holcomb and he was the warmest loving person like he hit such a soft side to him and he seemed like you know a bit of a contradiction he wasn't a nice kid he loved learning more than anything else if you think he had passion for kube you had to see rip Noah's passion for shot inner romba I was standing outside the office and there were colorless of rocky runoff and Rabbi Yaakov were screaming at each other I didn't know what was going on suddenly the door open Rebbe Noah grabs my arm and pulls me in the north and Rabbi Yaakov were sitting and arguing over chott inner Amba driven off wanted me to decide who's right I spoke with Rabbi Yaakov Weinberger I was studying in area Sorel and he says if you could take my brother a package I love it what was in the package that I brought him no those and those days they have a caffeine pill so you don't fall asleep from nor believed in learning all the time without a stop and he would pop these pills and stay awake as much as he could in that time my grandfather passed away my father was 13 or 14 then my father stayed is the youngest of the family growing up with a widowed mother I think one in ingredients to Reb no ox power is that his mother gave him a very special childhood and reven always saw the good in people and saw the good in the world and he got that from his mother my father would realize that you know going to camp or going up to the mountains is a very expensive thing for his mother she used to work very hard what he did is then the summers when he was a little bit older 1920 he would go out to work so you would travel around America that changed his life because he saw that there's so many Jews he says people were so proud about being Jewish and he would ask them and would say like what makes you so proud about being Jewish and basically realized that people had no idea and it we head into a disaster we're heading that these people one generation to generations down we're going to lose the children the grandchildren we're going to lose them and that's where he just started to think what could he do you go to the rabbi's you say rabbi do something about it right so that's what he did he went from rabbi - rabbi from receiver to receiver he said guys there's a holocaust going on there's people dying on the street like what are we doing about it and people tell them forget it it's never gonna work it's never gonna happen just take care of yourself take care of your family that was the notion that time and then as an issue was in Israel and he's gonna convince the husband ish he went on a boat and on the boat he heard in the radio that the cousin is passed away in his old trip to Israel it was pointless we say that the next day they got up in Jerusalem and he opened the window and he said this is a place that a Jewish person has to live so he turned in the meal for a period of time he met my mother they get married says that my father came to us versus even said receiver one opening Shiva descend this is my plan I went to de Blasio and I wanted permission from him it was the mail in the in usual I am I am begging is usually sang he says what do you want to do now so I told you I want to take secular people I will show them the agouti of tourists but but they don't want to keep missing I mean oh I'm going back and forth finally he gets the message he says no yes I understand what you want to do do little smacking off happily cabal each other you want to make a factory and turn people take him him once in and out the other end bali joon-suh surely come on what do you tell me I'm crazy yeah say says a rabbit we say table achiever one ambition buddy was shocked he was shocked leave a particular horrible war so if I introduce you don't need to his fiancee will he leave me we leave me he says if you believe that you'll succeed yeah so I got a broker but my father started from scratch because there was no book there was no people that really did it there was no key with professionals and basically he started to feel his way in the dark people thought oh it's impossible you can't get a person who is not brought up in a Torah home - all of a sudden like learning Torah love mitzvahs Bertram no saw such a beauty in the Torah and everybody that would see it they would come here Sheila the guy's not religious to be done people would point with a finger there goes NOAA the Michigan he thinks he can teach secular people Dover it was so far away eventually have not found how to break the ice that was the 48 ways but the 48 ways did is it showed them that Judaism has something to say about your life and make you a better person I come from a family that was not observant whatsoever so we knew we were Jewish but we didn't know much more than that at all I grew up as a reformed Jew and I I knew a lot in life so I thought I would say Jewish Lee proud connected but not really observant in any way and I grew up as a suburban secular poet non-religious boy I went to Hebrew school through tenth grade which provided virtually no information on Jewish belief and for me be Jewish it was just an empty black hole I didn't understand any of it I was like the skeptic I was the one that you know I could have married out very easily I actually ran away and tried to escape having a Bar Mitzvah basically it taught me one thing that there's nothing relevant in Judaism I was looking I was lucky to find out really what it means to be a Jew and he had a whole approach in learning which I tried I memorized the 613 mitzvot I learned with him also the 48 ways to wisdom and that changed my life it was like a father to me my father was very concerned that I should go to college but I got a year's leave of absence from Harvard my father allowed me to go to Israel I think about five years after we started learning my father who was a sailor a radio officer in the Merchant Marines and his ship came to Ashdod and and I met him when I took him to read me Trev nya so he walks into rev Noah right and he looks at him he says I've been waiting for five years to punch you in the nose and then they embraced so my older brother at the time fell into a Shotaro and this was really just at the beginning when Asia tour really exploded and a lot of people started coming and my brother Eric was the last person in Toronto anyone would think would go to yeshiva and it created an enormous uproar you know the whole city thought my brother was caught in a cult including my mother and around that time groove noah was coming to Toronto to speak and it was the first time really that he was making like a public appearance in Toronto we're gonna go meet him know we're gonna see who's who is this rabbi you-know-who busy stole Eric away you know what's going on and the place was packed and he gave this class I didn't know at the time but it was really five levels a pleasure I was mesmerised I thought is this this man has genuine wisdom he is dealing with the issues that are really bothering me that this is what I'm looking for and the back of mine I'm saying I need to go to Israel at some point and really meet with them it was incredible it was inspiring to see people hippies you know come in with their guitars and two weeks later they're sitting in their learning forty-eight ways he would come with a few boys on their Kippur Rosh Hashanah kept it to me a Shiva to doubt he would walk in with these dozen fellows who look like they came from Mars as far as the mayor was concerned something just stood out like I mean it's hard to imagine a more glaring discrepancy from everyone else black and regular yeshiva SH and this group I was spending my last day in Jerusalem someone came out and said would you like to come for a class and I said well do I have to pray and he said no so I said ok welcome to a class it happened to be that at that exact minute Rebbe Noah was teaching a class on his famous series called the 48 ways to wisdom 40 West wisdom is from pure chaos the 48 ways that the Torah is nick met by him it was looking like there was something really solid here and I didn't feel I could turn my back and just hop over to university and forget what I was learning and my parents very reasonably said they would sit Shiva for me and that they wouldn't talk to me till I came back and they were quite serious about it although they didn't really follow through they go to said they would cut me off financially I think they may have done that I wanted to know you know why was important to marry someone Jewish besides my parents threatening my economic well-being someone said do you want to go to a class about wisdom said why not so we went to RIF Nowak's class the first class was about happiness and I never heard wisdom like this from the Torah so I decided to stay for two weeks to go to classes and I called my parents and I said you're not gonna believe this I'm in a new Shiva studying Judaism and my parents were very nervous in fact they actually went to a therapist how to deal with their son who was in Israel and some type of place they came to Israel and Entebbe ready to get me back and I'll never forget that meeting with Reb nog we're in Rebbe knocks office have know obviously the warmest person and then my father gets up what did you do to my kid what did you do to my kid I'm gonna throw you out the window mr. Feld calm down we're just learning a little Judaism over here and when we got married rythmic was in solid condition and my father took his hand like this I owe you everything I owe you everything and it was really really a special moment not only did ruff Noah infuse within us a deep incredible fire but he empowered us to take that fire and do something incredible with it and I still remember this quiet moment of Noah was walking up the steps and the Rebbetzin was walking up the steps alongside him it was an incredible partnership of two people who have transformed the world was very happy with my life I wasn't really searching for the answer I wasn't searching for spirituality but when I first met Reb Nowak he made you think about things that you maybe hadn't thought about before would rather be happier rich what's life about and so that really got me spurred me to stay and I wound up staying for four and a half years when I told my parents I was gonna come back but only to visit that's when it sort of hit the fan and they were like what are you doing this is a cult you're crazy you know what's going on I brought my parents to meet Reb not the only thing I really remember was my mother storming out of the office yeah so it didn't go so well actually my brother who's three years younger than me came to check out what was going on he took a semester abroad and he came to Israel and he came to check out what I was doing and he wound up staying at H also and wound up becoming an H rabbi now he's a lawyer so my you know the parents got at least one lawyer I think the story starts there Newark really with my dear brother who was visiting the old city one thing led to another he met somebody was who was religious he said if you'd like to know a little bit more about Judaism I'll take to you a plate you to a place where you can know a little a little bit more and guess what next thing you know he's face to face with another Noah and he felt that he'd met a wise man I thought you know what my brother's lost his marbles you know so I came up to get my brother out and I listened to the 48 ways I went to reversed classes every day and they were mesmerizing but it was really his proofs of God and Torah which really got through to me after a few weeks you know he got me in a double nelson and that was it and it was hard for my mother at the time you know getting our medical school was not the most popular decision at the time she came to Israel to to meet with whoever knew her before we started any conversation with her my mother he said dr. Samson you have two amazing children how did you do it at the end of a year I told him I was gonna become a rabbi and work with Asia Torah that actually reassured them a little bit cuz I thought I wasn't gonna starve to death so when I came to H and I decided to stay all my friends were convinced that I must be brainwashed I'm a twin brother got together with a few of his friends and roommates and they plotted how are they going to rescue a frien so the three of them specifically would talk about it in plan and my brother just made a decision that he was going to spend his whole second year at university preparing to come out that summer and have all the answers and all the questions that he needs to bring me back so everyone was rooting for him and they were all excited and he he took courses in rhetoric and logic and comparative religions and philosophy so he had the whole thing worked out so that when he got here he'd be able to just you know he thought this would be a a piece of cake and then he came across these intellectual Giants by the end of the summer he decided that he was to be show more Shabbat and kosher his apartment his party apartment back at the University he started an Asia Torah study group back in Toronto anyway the end of the story is that all three of the plotters they all went on to become Orthodox rabbis and all involved in one way or another in outreach I innately had a certain belief in God a personal God as a young child these feelings and these beliefs sort of became submerged over the years Noah was every bit the intellectual match for any of the the Harvard or Cambridge professors that I came up against and then some yet he was coming up with arguments that were compelling that I had never heard before I had the opportunity to basically engage with Noah one-on-one for a couple of days almost continuously and I felt all of my reservations and skepticism and cynicism just melting away I realized that this was this was very right and this addressed something very deep within me I was all for learning now I've graduated Dartmouth College I was very into learning and philosophy and different religions and I was like great and I only think I'm ever of North when I decided I was gonna take six months to figure this out either it's true it's not true either I'm in it or I'm out of it that was that was where I was coming from why didn't I didn't bargain for exactly what I was gonna learn because it really is a God he really did give her Torah from Mount Sinai and it's real it's true Roe she was Torah and his his living with self-evident truths that he understood about Hashem in Torah that to me was with galvanized me I went to India and I found a girl and I was because I was a very spiritual person so I was learning you know I learned how to meditate I learned Easterns spiritual ways to get close to God and my guru said to me you're Jewish trying to look into Jewish mysticism it's like Judaism was a walled garden but I couldn't find a way in this was in 1969 there was no way for women who didn't speak Hebrew who were not raised from - uh to find their way into that garden so I stopped in Israel my way back from India we went over to H we went up the into the Shiva there's narrow stairs that go up to rovno office office and Reb know us and he said do you know what the most important thing in the world to know is like no introductions no niceties no how are you hi how are you our they were like you know know we know we and he said to us the most important thing in the world to know is that Hashem loves you we lived in Jaffa at the big house overlooking the Mediterranean on a hill was an extra until the age of 40 I didn't know anything about Torah nothing at all you asked me was missionary you Molly what are you talking about big bunch of pressure if the fact that I was a film star before I tell you stuff before he took me here gave us a place in the old city we ate there we slept there we learned the Torah he didn't megiddo gave washes he he lived it this was the power when he taught 48 ways for example he would teach a lot laughter but happiness about friendship but love had that sparkle of happiness moving his eyes when he talked about love of God you could say this man loved God she loved Hashem and you could see it all over him when I came back to yeshiva and I said I'm gonna stay a month the first thing that they did with my knapsack on they dragged me straight into Revenue Office and no so excited that I was here and he proceeded to ask me a series of questions and one of them that I remember that really stands out was would you rather be happy or rich and of course I said happy it's a great if I told you that we will teach you how to be happy and it's gonna take you a year to do it I don't know I'm getting nervous here all right that really went very deep because it really taught me what are my prime I being real with my priorities I say one thing that am I really living that but what was also interesting was that I heard Rev Noah over the years ask that question and make that challenge thousands of people and the first time I saw him I was in such awe he came around the corner besides this one he said to me you know do you want to go back you know that was so rough nah he had understood how the world worked and it didn't matter if it fit in with your intuition about it this is a mess and if you did this you know we'd get it straight you know a big white beard black coat the whole thing and I figured we gonna communicate and then of course he breaks into his lower Eastside accent so he basically gave me a five-minute talk on Samantha's Elko how to be happy with your portion the warmth the the sincerity the care about me it all came out in those few minutes it was like a blast of of love he was a new Shambhala just realize that God loves you Noah had that ability take very profound concepts and make them just real and clear in our minds so I ended up staying two weeks that turned into one month that into four months eventually that produced a wife and six kids and ace Toronto a very leader leader not there that makes himself a leader a leader that leads a whole movement he gave the basis to the Cure movement he fought for it and he made he made things happen now it's very popular talking about hundreds of South Valley troopers in every soil but then it was a desert the beginning and he fought for it 24 hours a day he planted the seed in all of his talmidim he understood that one person one person can make the difference he made the difference if he could just get his talmidim to see that as well they'll realize it too and they'll continue on his mission in life I think what attracted me to Asia Torah was just that sense of responsibility that rug Noah made every single Jew that walked into Asia tour understand that they were a leader that they had responsibilities that they had to go out and they had to to really save the Jewish people in any in every way and when he would go away on his fundraising trips he would have one of us students step in and teach the 48 ways or proofs of God we'd been at Asia tour of olive a month or two months person like that and step up some people asked me when was the first time I taught a class at Asia Tara was shocked when I tell them it was after three weeks being there I wasn't religious yet he said a person knows Alif you have to share olive spread if you know bays share Bay's we have a obligation to learn Torah and to teach Torah it's one of the column of total lil wood Alban hasta la maid learn in order to teach this is part of no Aquino's is getting us to start right away in taking responsibility no it was empowered us teach what you know we all thought that was a little bit crazy later we understood that this was a reverse form of leadership development thinking about like what was the number one thing that really moved people a better of naath I believe it was his invitation to be a partner the way that he believed in me and the way he believed in every Jew that we can be unbelievably great we can really change Jewish history I guess over the years our relationship developed from one of of an almighty Rosh Yeshiva an awesome personality which he absolutely was certainly one the most inspiring people I've ever met in my life but once you took responsibility you became a partner and in the way he said hey if we're partners with the rabona partners we've got himself I never I never come across that before somebody who spoke about responsibility in a real way knock would look at you and then all of a sudden his eyes were sharp and he would steer you and it says what are you doing for cloudy strong you know the coverage frame says and Freeman said does he says you'll go down the street and you see a guy drowning you're kind of going and save him you don't know how to swim poor guy who drowns but if every day you were going you see people drowning then you have an obligation to learn how to swim and I got a call from Jamie Calland who said to me Noah spend some time in New York do you want me or of Noah and the first don't like you sure it's fear of Noah come buddy letters not just nephew this is gonna play the like no it's the action like the one but like yet though I'm like yes I'll be there right now and during those two weeks I spent six hours of November I felt like we've no Weinberg thinks I can do something with my life like we're of Noah when you feel that somebody that big believes in you it is impossible to not believe in yourself more and the reason why he believed that it was because he believed that it wasn't you it was awesome as I went to yeshiva I was having a hard time and my father a close student over of na brought me to meet him when he was in New York so now sits me down and he says Jimmy do you know God loves you and as a teenager a bilious teacher rabbi leave me alone that's all I want here like he says come on do I have to prove it you I said no of course I grew up with this I'm a she could of course I know God loves me I start burning flaming red eyes and he slams the table on he says so dance dummy and that is really what I think would be his message not just to less affiliated people but to from people if you knew that it was a sham in the world who loved you and you had and you really were clearly as the Russia Shiva was you beat as he would say dancing a jig to every mitts you're about to do whenever I'd walk with or not so every I don't know fifty feet or so he would stop and go like this and I thought he had back problem and at a certain point when I asked him to describe how do you experience God and experience the six consonants us he like put his bag down and stuck his back up and it's like you have to just breathe in comes right here right now with you he's taking care of you I said to reputa back bravo he said no I said is that what you're doing every 50 feet or so he says yeah what how else am I supposed to live it does expand services I don't think anyone has ever in my life before that taught me to think of Hashem which to me is such a different way to see the world puts us I'm on your side it made a huge impact on me and all you have to do is realize that he really believes in the rabona Shalom that's within you and once you get that and you go out into your life if you can remember that it's really very little that can get in your way so as far as I'm concerned the the 2000 Tommy Tom which I have had and the three generations already they're all tell me am i riff know every time a kid hits Bar Mitzvah but our BAS Mitzvah it's a trip with Daddy to Israel and we want to see Reb nog and Rev no I said we'll give a picture of the family I said sure I took it out I showed up the Rebbe knock and he took it from me and he put it in his suit pocket I said run off I need that picture back I have to show people my family he said that's my picture and those and that's my family of six children and five grandchildren and to the grandchildren carry Reb Knox name you know I know it meant a lot we have not always asked us for photographs of the family and what really gave him the he used to literally carry around with him photographs of us and our kids that's what really gave him the to do what he did my oldest two sons have made their their lives learning they've they've learned in yeshiva and kollel for many years my oldest has now become a roach kollel my second is transitioning to become a Rebbe we had the enormous privilege of remaining and in touch and his close touches I think anyone at a distance could be with rinoa whatever I am and have done that's worthwhile it's equally attributable to rev Noah he loved us like a father we became his his his back his children proved nor was love hugging and it was my father and like a father he slept me so many times so you are deserters it to me a deserter you know who you are you always go out bring people make much more sense oh I want to read Torah I wish it forty was my life I don't waste any more there was a fight the most difficult set of encounters I had with him was with regard to the curriculum in the yeshiva he wanted that someone could come in and go from olive bays to Smith in six months I put together what I felt was a super-duper program that it would take seven years I walk in from the office office I presented it and a lot got angry he was big he was strong he held on to his desk I was sure he was gonna throw it at me and he starts screaming seven years in seven years we won't know who's Jewish la da phony no he was so right he was so right but we have no idea a juicer I've been working statistics now there are somewhere between four and eight million Jews in America how's that for statistics somewhere between four and eight million Jews we don't know huge and he saw it coming in Kiev at the time you were in it's like the lowest of professions like your hangout talked to happy course even to show you of all day so there's a controversy and a very unpleasant one and I was very hurt by it at the things that were flying about I remember this is clear as day I walked into of the office office he was sitting there with a smile on his face and I said look this is hard and I said when are they gonna stop some of the zealots were coming after him and he said don't worry there will come a day but in all of the religious world we'll be learning how to do Kiro formation Torah the only reason I started my first yeshiva or my first organization and all the room subsequent was because I believed one thing that if I come to a human father and I say your son is drowning I need your rope would you please give me your rope you guys gonna give me his rope yeah is that right I'm gonna come to you or - eh Almighty I need you to help me I want to save your children may you get that that's the only reason I ever started I didn't know what to do how do you make money how do you raise money I don't ask for money I feel mighty will help me I didn't know how to make an organization the almighty has to help he's gonna help I'm going for his children he's gotta help this one day there's a knock at the door and it's Tom Markman and I said well what can we do for you he said well the truth of the matter is I'm looking for a place to stay so that I can establish an Asia tour here in Cleveland so I said okay sure and he said to me what can I do for you I said I want 15 minutes with from Noah he was such a celebrity cuz my kids have always heard about you know we're know our stories and arity straw in Asia Torah and Kirov and everything else in here is the man himself coming to our home and sat down with me in the kitchen of my home so I said I am very much involved in Kerrville hokum and a lot of my friends are really discouraging me they're always saying to me you know I think you give up too much time to them you have a family my Shila to you Reb no loss should I stop he looked at me with those dancing happy eyes and that big beautiful smile so here's what I'm gonna tell you if you were living in 1942 in Poland in a city or a village where you knew the trains were going through to take Jews to Auschwitz but they told you you know you can pull one kid off that train what would you have done you would have dropped everything and you would have ran to that train I said but no I give me a brother brachii why is that my children should live Torah and bring others closer to Hashem in every way and he said you got it you got my brother and I remember in the first Internet meeting of acecomm before was every stop they were showing us what the internet was like dissecting a frog on there showing it and then the guy said he said you know this is amazing if this really works we'll be able to reach thousands maybe tens of thousands of people a day once H calm was launched oh this was relaxed like pride and joy like his little baby because he saw like wow look at the potential here rev knock was always looking at the big picture how do I create a movement look what is I need an army I need manpower for that movement what's the most logical and manpower the firm community so it was always his dream if he could just awaken the sleeping giant the firm community are the sleeping giants if we can just awaken them they can impact the entire Jewish world I mean he spoke a language which said you can change the world I remember him saying what are you doing about the famine in Ethiopia what are you doing about Rwanda now one student would say it's not my responsibility so he would show everybody from that interaction and you would self-evidently see it from yourself it is my responsibility it's my responsibility to change the world so that that really appealed to me so after 9/11 he realized the civilization that we lived in the Western world was greatly threatened if these guys take over you can forget about the campuses and we were rebelling he said Rob knock were a Kirov organization you bring Jews and we connect them to their potential and Reb Knox said no we're not a queue of organization we're hot Sallah organization we do what's needed we take on all Jewish problems and this is the one that I've identified did not surprise me 101 iota that a guy who was involved with outreach for the Jewish people would do something out of the box to help the Jewish people I got a call that Rabbi North Weinberg wanted to organize a group of people to petition the Canadian government to arrest an Arab terrorists and he raised six figures when ralph north when he when someone said there's something he does it from no I've said every person who has been hurt or killed as a human face let's get that in the media and that was the beginning of my relationship you financed us to open up an office and people say who's behind you said you wouldn't believe it are you selling in the Mossad no just there's a little rabbi who was either who's behind this my son contacted me from stay wrote he said ah but you wouldn't believe what's going on here my dad had a relationship with rabbi no I'm expressing throbbing off my first rocket experience being in a Shabbat in a shul during the Friday night services and once Robin off heard that story said and bring him over I want to meet with him and then rabbi nach said what is it what do you need as as simple as that I need me a video camera only a small car to chase these Rockets I need a computer and your lapdog simple as that and Robin Nelson I'm with you the second I got the video camera the first one there to literally dock him in those first seconds after the rocket fire I'll be honest that after getting this first grant from Robin off we're able to establish ourselves he knew very clearly that this has to be shown and exposed throughout the entire world melee to the Jewish people so Robin or if it was a physical or spiritual attack on the Jewish people he took it as his own plot to do anything he can to speak up for that he understood it a threat there's a threat of threats and there's no difference in yaja do it in Judaism he would say between the I was coming to you with a cross or with a knife with a bomb he understood this if he were here right now if he were sitting next to me Roth North what do we do you mean what about what the Arabs have just adopted the first school system in the world which endorses the murder of Jews let's go get him is what he would say and thanks to rebel with Rabbi no our agency's been around over 32 years we would have forgotten that start without rug north so whether it had to do with radical Islam very few people knew that was North Weinberg behind the whole series of films that were done that made it to news and everywhere else but there was yellow journalism honest journalism rather anything he was there for the Jewish people he was not a man that believed I'm into the cure of business to him he saw his role to save the Jewish nation and he said it many times he wanted to becoming a Shiva of creating leaders that can go out into the world and teach and save the Jewish people so after I've not got up to the yeshiva and said what are you guys doing about it so the guy started thinking about what should we be doing about in typical age style right you know yet guy's thinking and and it was amazing things started coming out of that there's an organization today called honest reporting that monitors at the Israel media came out of people that were so a couple guys in the Shiva came up to me and said we have an idea let's go to college campuses back in America and let's talk to students there about what's really going on in Israel and it was such a powerful and we talked about empowerment saying you want to take responsibility for the Jewish people Asia tours behind you of knocks behind you you can do it and that really laid the seeds for husband fellowships and the foreign ministry told us okay we're gonna give you the funding to do this first program and I went straight back to the Shia and I went straight throughout no ox office and I told him well the foreign ministry said yes and he looked at me like in wonder and of course he gave me another slap this was I think my second slap slap and he said the foreign ministry of Israel I mean secular left-wing they chose Asia Torah to stand up and defend the Jewish people like he said like Messiah is coming he couldn't it was it was amazing his whole essence was Torah saving the Jewish people taking responsibility for the Jewish people that was his whole life his 24/7 goal and I became interested I saw meat it is a very unusual person he's a learner rabbi is also dedicated to the Jewish people in particular worried at large he looks every individual noticing that everybody is something good in himself and his aim is to bring out the goodness besides connecting the Jewish people to Judaism I was walking in New York and I bump into him he would been sick at the time I didn't know about it he was gonna have an operation and he saw me and the second day he gave me a hug and yes and what are you doing and I told him I saw the spring where he/she been working very hard and you know I listened it's very happy and then when I finished he says but what are you doing for Claudius wrong the difficult time when he wasn't well and unfortunately got a very bad prognosis seeing him in that light in the condition that he was in and he never let up he never let up and the serum Norco from a standing position to a sitting position was very painful it took a lot of energy out of him to like and he had to be helped to sit down and I'm watching all of this and he knows that I'm watching him get into the chair and in a lot of pain and he looked at me and he said don't worry this the God loves me this is all good I think the main thing that I hear of not saying in my head over and over is [Music] the Almighty is with you there's nothing you can't do but I don't think I really knew what I was capable of accomplishing until Rob Noah kept pushing me to the next step so I didn't know why it was important to be a Jew but he pushed me to understand that I didn't understand why I was important to teach other people he pushed me to do that I didn't understand why it was important to go out and take responsibility we started house bro fellowships we brought thousands of students on campus to learn about how to stand up for Israel I would have never done that if he wouldn't have pushed me out of my comfort zone to realize that I could do that he would cry about the pain that the Jewish people are in and he would use that to motivate us that you have to feel that pain but realize that pain is there to motivate you to get up and do and that's what we would say he would say get up and do use that pain and change the world anyone who was in touch with Rabbi Noah Weinberg and who was inspired understood that he's got a mission in life and has to continue only a few people in the Jewish world are going to inspire me to do something out of the box to really have an effect only a few people are like that Tim that's the way it is I'm sitting in at the hospital better if not last one last days I said Tim Rebbe the Mushaf coming soon he said of course I said as a Jewish group are the Jewish people gonna come back of course I said so why do I have to do it but she asked do it why do I have to be involved in it he says you're making a mistake so she was giving you the greatest opportunity since the beginning of time if you want to take that opportunity you got it if not let me she asked - it'll be fine that's up to you that's what it means I think to be a Jew in 2019 is to realize that like Roma's waiting for a few people that stand up and take responsibility that could be all we need and you pray to God about Jews who are assimilating what do you say to us I say Almighty I know that you care about this much more than me I know that you want me to succeed I know that if you love me we can change the whole world no you want help I don't I just have to want it enough please help me to want to feel this pain the way you feel it I said you can help me do it that's what you do we all just watched a film about the life of ribbon or look lavas hi I'm already brings the the huzzah we're Yoshio hemella who was brought up in a palace that was trying to be
