this oh you oh yeah you hear me now yeah i don't even know what i pressed i'm unpressing something that's good still good yeah okay great well i discovered what was wrong anyway today we're talking about a mission and we've got oh let me hit record here by the way recording that yeah so mission time um you know mission is a really big deal in my life and and having having a mission is it's really the difference between having a meaningful life or a less meaningful life now um people who people who are observant jews often feel like they don't need a mission because they're already keeping judaism and i was introducing before yahoo hi there your life there's uh a colleague of mine who's one he actually has a multi-mission life um he's uh he lives in the judean hills uh in a you know real outback place the place itself is a little more known it's called butt iron but but iron has its own outback but i'm in bed there is right yeah it's like he's right by all these villages and and i don't think there are any fences or anything no fences a lot of rocks it's very very beautiful extremely beautiful and he's got the mission of settling the land and he's got a mission of torah and he's also a wonderful musician and played in one of the best reggae bands in israel um called acharita the end of days um and he was leading and singing and a really cool band i was at some of your best concerts and gangs and we actually get together in tel aviv when no one came when i i had a class in tel aviv that was probably one of the most expensive classes i've ever taught in this beautiful hall top reggae band several kegs of beer and food and one persian man who was 35 years old showed up to the class one persian man so the band played the beer was drunk by my students that i brought down from jerusalem and uh and then but you bet that at the end of that class i put that persian man in the back of my van with my students after having gone to his apartment in tel aviv to gather all his stuff and he came to learn for several days in jerusalem in asia and yeah it was worth it for that man and uh and you also have the mission of of uh well-being to help promote well-being in people and yehuda has been coaching for the possible youth for years now how long now a while yeah long time a couple years yeah five years ten years ten years i don't count anymore and he also can he can lead so he gets up there and can say a few words as well and please god will uh be training amongst others and then yeah and leading the possibly you so um anyway in my life i've also i've had quite a few missions i used to be really dangerous as a kid because because i'm an extremely influential person um if i love something i'm not going to leave you alone until you at least try it and i may still not leave you alone until you love it too but the but i'm i'm like crazy like that they're called we're called sneezers sneezers like sneeze what they love all over everybody and and so and by the way you should know the rambam says that sneezers are sneezers are people how do you know you love something because you can't stop telling people about it you know what that means that means that if you're not telling people about things you don't really love those things and which is which is pretty interesting and where does the rambam bring this from from the mitzvah of loving god that when you when you if you really love god you can't stop talking about it yeah which is very interesting because we have a lot of circles that never bring them up you know they there's circles of people that they they talk about everything but yeah observant people who don't speak about god much so so one of the ways you know you love god is because you're talking about them all the time which is pretty exciting to do that if i speak about my wife it means like i love my wife yeah so even if i speak not like like heavy stuff like it's hard for me and this and that if i speak about her it means i think about it means i love her right she's in my oh yeah the things you speak about are the things you love unless sometimes we're just trying to convince ourselves of it you know sometimes we'll speak about things that we we want to we want to anyway the so that so what happened why was i dangerous as a kid is no matter what i was into i would try to get others into it as well no matter what it was so if i was in an anarchist state which means like lawlessness you know anarchy you know so then i would convince everyone of anarchy and if i was in a love state like a hippie state i would convince everyone of free love for everybody and um my parents actually when i wanted something my when i was little my parents i would walk into their bedroom and they would be like you know laying there kind of going to sleep whatever and i would stand in front of their bed and petition them but i would always i would always convince them and so they they after by the time i was six seven years old they used to say don't even start before i started they would say don't start because i would convince them now everyone got super nervous when i became observant at 23 years old when i got to asia tour and i became like a you know a soup bowl wearing jew the everyone got nervous because like okay they knew like i'm always trying to get everyone to do everything but you see most people when they become observant they're pretty embarrassed about it and then they they that then from then on they just kind of hide from their own family and they and they you know move as far away as possible and just become observant but i was the opposite i was moving towards everybody i couldn't sleep at night until like anyone i everyone i loved had at least been in everyone i loved had been at least introduced to torah in some way or another um let me just i think someone's unmuted so if you're unmuted mute yourself please so um anyway so i've had this mission for sure a big strong mission to to have literacy jewish literacy has been my goal that people know what they're talking about when it comes to judaism i was raised in a synagogue which i like to call saiyan cyanide temple it was really called sinai temple but i call it cyanide because it almost killed me spiritually so i grew up in in that synagogue and it was so far from anything true anything real i mean it was just ridiculous i remember i i remember that i i brought there's there's an amazing rock band called let me see if i can mute those people that's why you're coast co-starring with me so there's a mute everybody on participants anyway i was um you know the album's very the albums are very meaningful because they themselves the band was searching just like i was and so um you know the one of the famous songs the wall i'm woven in a fantasy i can't believe the things i see the path that i have chosen now has led me to a wall and with the each passing day i feel a little more like something did was lost it rises now before me the dark and silent barrier between all lying and all that i was ever meant to be in harmony towering marking off the boundary my spirit would erase to pass beyond is what i seek i fear that i may be too weak for those of you who've seen it through to glimpse the other side the promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride the moment is a masterpiece the weight of indecisions in the air standing there anyway i could just keep going but so i brought those lyrics to to the the joker who was calling himself rabbi at sinai temple who subsequently was had to be removed for his uh uh i guess getting overly involved with the head of the sisterhood of the synagogue and that's my kosher way of putting it and he uh so he got removed but i asked him i went like i was a little kid and i think i was probably i don't know maybe 12 years old i said rabbi what what's the meaning of these lyrics they're drawing me towards some meaning and then the rabbi looks at me and he says i have no idea what any of that means and i just took the entire torah that was he didn't realize the entire book of torah was open to me in that moment if he only knew some and he just like closed it and then i went on this like what seemed like an endless search to find anything meaningful in this world to to make sense of these the churning in my heart towards towards true meaning true depth and something real so the anyway but eventually i found my way to judaism and and i so got that that that's a mission is jewish literacy a major mission that the jewish people should know what they're talking about so as i speak right now as i speak right now there is a um there's the oh no it was my shoe my shoes burning um as i speak we we have um there's a major like assault investigation going on for the that went out in the uh reform jewish reform movement um i'm not going to say the name of who they're investigating and but it's like a bunch of people implicated and at the same exact time the biggest jewish center i mean a piece of property worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in the bell air um community in los angeles i mean just like this gigantic center people gave like their gifts for like parts of this building and grounds that are that were gifts of 250 million dollars multiple gifts like that and they just put the place up for sale and that's the conservative movement and so and so in the end all that's left is is just the people holding fast to torah holding fast to the torah and and that's a very very deep mission of mine now it turns out that i that i had another mission and that is to bridge people i'm a bridge i'm a 10 lane bridge in two directions to bridge people to themselves to others and to god and you'll notice since you've met me that if you think about all our times together almost every time we're ever together is me bridging people to themselves right to others intuition and so i realized that my mission in an overall statement is a bridge if i don't do that mission i get a taste of what's like what life's like for the rest of the world who doesn't know their mission and it's nasty now of course if you never have a mission and you just all you do is all you do is work and take care of a family and you and you don't have a a mission greater than yourself because when you die you will not work and when you die you will not be taking care of your family but if you have a mission it's your legacy it goes on and on and on and on it gets even bigger you know like when carlebach died all of a sudden there was a cardiovascular everywhere before he died there was moshe modi in in the modin area of jerusalem of israel and there was a karla bachelor in new york that was it two girl investments and when he passed away oh by the yeah and that's what that's what the mission is all about in your life is getting a mission that's bigger than you that's bigger than you and and you know what's interesting is that clarifies all the people that that that live a macro mission because there's macro micro macro is just like living your daily life as a jew macro mission when you live your jewish mission that's like your macro mission if you're jewish or whatever you're part of whatever community culture that's your macro mission to be part of that and to conserve it but your micro mission is totally separate and uh that that the you'll get this that when we die our service to god dies with us meaning whatever service you did throughout your life every prayer everything that's all coming with you but it's not here anymore you understand like we all know that because we've all prayed with people who were beautifully determined and in prayer and study who have left this world and they're not there anymore whereas when you have a mission your legacy explodes upon your death and and it gets way bigger i'll tell you the truth in in my own seminars i'm a little jealous um i'm a little jealous of um of the um of what my mission meaning all the work i've done over all these years to spread the the self-realization the awakening that that is occasioned by the possible youth seminar i'm jealous of the experience everyone's gonna have when when i pass away and there's no me to do it anymore you know what i mean and then please gotta explode wow we were lucky enough yeah but when it explodes too big you know i won't be here to watch that so all my work won't be you might be yeah yeah like soon i mean i mean i'm definitely into it that's why shy specking's uh with me helping me explode it so anyway there's more missions waiting for you i mean this is a very big mission yeah but maybe you have to like see what the next yeah more yeah which is coming up yeah i mean i but i have a very you know my my style is very shamanistic you know i'm not like uh not gonna enter politics you know that's not the same direction okay i'll um you on the one hand there's people who are like so diverse that i so admire and i'm just not i'm very diverse when i'm not just one of those guys at all so it's kind of nice to have a niche um listen everyone listen there there's a way to find i'll give a little plug for the mission because i'm i'm at this point teaching it in brooklyn on the week of uh the first week of march i'll be running a mission which will be um see i'm gonna be in muncie running the possibility for men and women please god next week the 27th and then uh tuesday wednesday thursday nights in brooklyn i'll be doing the mission um in yeah in brooklyn so if you want to be part of that so here's the thing our goal is to discover our life's mission we don't even the reason we don't know what it is is is um a couple of things one is if someone doesn't make that important it's you're never going to realize on your own that you have a life mission why i mean how would you everyone's so busy surviving that discovering the life your life mission is like it's like the question why would you even think about it so like where would it even have come up so that that's one question is you know where where would you have discovered it um it's not really encouraged you know parents are excited about you being normal and there's nothing normal about living a mission you know um [Music] another is that that if you if you figured out your mission on earth you would um you would probably have people rejecting you you know like you're you're really poking your head out and um people you know you're not everyone's gonna love it so you're really putting yourself out there for some uh thumbs downs and um uh and then uh lastly is that that it will probably till you get it wired you're probably going to fall on your face a few times meaning it's not necessarily going to go so well when you learn to do your mission meaning once you find your mission you'll probably blow it several times i know i've i've as a bridge you know my mission is a bridge i've i've learned a lot of through the failures but failure is your greatest teacher i'd like to share a little something about failure especially that there's a few people here are mission graduates that i don't think i shared before about failure and that um i'm sure you've heard me talk about failure but failure is your greatest teacher it's your greatest teacher failure tells you exactly what doesn't work now we all know that that there's things that work and things that don't work you know like for example growing up surfing your first year or two you find out what doesn't work every time you stand on the board you know and it's an amazing thing because first of all you all think that the hard part is standing on the board or something or balancing once you're on the board you gain all your respect for surfers when you first lay on the board to paddle out to the waves because the board slides out if you paddle this way it slides that way if you paddle that side it slides that way until you mean it literally slides and you're in the suit and until you learn to pedal this way while leaning a little more that way to not keep that side down and then paddle this arm while leaning that way i mean after a while you don't you would never even think about it because the human mind will keep correcting itself until that board finally stays under your bike but like underwater similar yeah and then then paddling into the waves timing the waves getting up on your feet which people think is a push-up it's not you're actually drunk you just drop the board down the wave and then you jump up to your feet you pop up to your feet while the board goes down but then once you're on your feet you just fall right off because it's like there's just no way to stay on it but fall off that side then you get on again you fall again and again and again and again and again again that's why most people can't learn to surf as adults even though those surfing schools are really cute on all that have sprung up on all the beaches in the last few years they're really cute but to really learn how to surf you have to be a little kid first of all you have the neural plasticity for all the learning of this way that way this way that way until you're finally like balanced so you need that neural plasticity in your brain and and the word by the way for those who aren't graded english plasticity means flexibility of your neural your neurons of your brain neuroplasticity and um and you also need to have no responsibilities because you're gonna have to do it every single day for hours which means you're not doing anything else show me an adult who has nothing to do you know and i'll show you a man who smokes too much meat right so the um the but most adults have too much to do than to spend their day out in the ocean but the point is is it's only the failures in surfing that teach you how to serve if you're not willing to fall down you chose the wrong sport and this mom is one of the sports you have to like fail and fail yeah it's it's you know it's the most started and quit sport in the world almost started and quit sport in the world the chances of someone starting it and quitting are like 95 that he's gonna quit as an adult it's like 99 as a kid it's like 95 percent want some water when you're ready i'd like you to share something whatever you want but the uh um i i should really be a much better interviewer and treat you as an interview but but i want to speak a little more about failure most people taste failure and spit it out and they run the other way most people taste failure and just spit it out and run for their lives to never ever taste it again most people that's just how it works you taste failure you run you know and the uh and the and it's that means that that where they finally do get traction will be where it was so damn easy i mean it was so there was so little resistance such a short a small growth curve or learning curve that they finally get traction there or wherever it may be and and then they call that success you know and that's their success and so they stay like in small things yeah they don't go they're not going to go anywhere where the failure is they touch it sometimes but then they spit it out successful people they chew on the fat of failure you got that successful people chew on the fat of failure they love it you know like it said on it said on the desktops in uh in um in facebook the facebook offices they had on everyone's desktops on the screens that said when they came to their desktop in the morning it said fail hard as opposed to try hard it was fail hard go all the way go all the way yeah if you're not if you're not creating some level of failure you're not doing anything you know if there's no failure nothing's happened nothing's happening yeah so you you need to have a certain amount of failure happening in your life and and that's partially why i've been much more courageous lately in in in growing my company my company is by the way do you know the name of my company it's called living inspired yeah possibly is one of the seminars there yeah but i've i've been i've been pushing it harder the last year or two because i've been i haven't really been failing very hard and so i've been pushing much harder including building this center in brooklyn and and um opening up other other seminars and you know i'm i'm i'm really doing my best to fail right now and are you succeeding yeah i'm succeeding at failing a little bit and i'm learning a lot succeeding yeah shy's the ceo shy am i succeeding at failing a bit so a little bit anyway but but that's where the growth is the growth is where you where you're putting it out there in such a way that that there's failure coming because then you know you got something now that failure teaches you it's not saying keep pushing against the failure it's saying you're going to have to go that way maybe you got to go that way i mean you got to get around it because something's happening something's happening you've got to you've got more navigation to do but it's not that way going that retreating it's not a tourist because he puts out his life vest and knows where he's going there's a tour guide and it's like somebody's like basically like going into the water and doing his thing not like towards like with a life vest right right like that you're you're but you're the main thing is when you fail you're not retreating you don't run away the other way you're running at it and then you discover you know climate i mean if this is success up here and you're climbing up to and you keep hitting failure see so you you did well till there just take a right and then you go up higher you hit a wall you did pretty well to that so it was up it was right it was up and then it was maybe left and then it was up right until that fails and that well okay that was up it was right it was left it was then i got up around that and then but eventually you succeed and so that's the lesson is to chew on the fat of failure don't just spit it out and run the other way you know there's a famous parable that i've told a lot of times and i use it as a as a machov for different things and that's the uh it's a famous story of a king who um is training his horsemen to uh and and soldiers to to shoot arrows you know they're in the forest training and they discover arrows and trees that are perfectly in the bullseye perfectly like right in the very center of the madame of the bullseye and lots of them and so the king is like tells his men who is this archer so they he sends his men to search the forest so they search the forest and they find the guy they bring him to the king and the king asks him what's your secret for a perfect shot each time so he says i pull back my arrow i release it into the and it shoots across into the tree and then i take my paintbrush and i paint the target around the era and it's a good one and that's that's all the people who who spit out failure is they spit it they hit failure they spit it out they go over there they hit it over there they spit it out they go over there and they just keep going and going until they finally find something that then sticks but it's usually not anything they would have wanted because that original impulse was their original instinct you know that was the they're into it into what's ya and you say in hebrew yeah their intuition was sending him in that direction and and that was going to be where where they would find their excitement and their happiness meaning which leads to happiness so it's the same thing when it comes to dating sadly that a lot of people i meet people all the time that are in terrible relationships and you know i when i get one of them alone i'm like how did you even find each other and and she's like well he said i love you no one ever said that to me before and i'm just like you know talk about painting a target on some bozo you know so or he'll say the same thing about her you know she said i love you and meaning meaning they they were so lonely and so rejected and so hurt for years and years and years and years and years until finally like someone was willing to take this stray cat to their house and give it a little milk you know and that's who they married because of the fear of rejection so it's very similar to to put yourself out there in your in your life for for socially you know to play around with with putting your heart somewhere that someone can hold it or drop it but to never put your heart you know to never share is a recipe for loneliness you know it's a recipe for a lonely life right yeah interesting so so another reason why we don't know what our mission is because we're so f we're afraid to even know it because if you know your mission now you gotta keep it and if you gotta if you're gonna keep it we'll now you know sorry just keep it if you know your mission now you gotta do it it's late at night here if you know your mission now you got to do it and if you're going to do it people aren't going to necessarily love it and it's also going to fail many times and and then you got the fear of being out of control it's because suddenly i have this whole new maternal i have this whole new mission in life like i had things pretty buttoned up between work and home like now you're now you're gonna give me this like whole you know contribution i'm here to make who said anything about personal contributions you know why can't i just like be myself you know and just pray and go home and have dinner with the family and and like i have to have a mission and the answer is yes you do you know every person is born with a hook in their mouth you know like a fishing hook every person is born with a hook in their mouth and and god lets us all swim around the pond you know some people like to hang around the boat that's us and you're shalian you know we like to be near the near the fisherman's boat you know and and it's nice here because you know when you're close to the boat once in a while he throws over he throws over a couple of extra bait you know just extra bait just to eat you know to to enjoy um and then there's other people who are who like to be observant and live far away and like some of these guys probably are in new york over there or some other place london maybe and and then you've got and then you've got um you got people like to run the other way you know someone once asked me about their uh their uncle was like doing all the wrong stuff he was really running far away from anything good or righteous certainly far from torah and someone said to me like doesn't it upset god like god created us you know to you know just on the macro mission of being jewish and living jewish lives and here is this here's this uncle who's like doing everything you can imagine wrong yeah so [Music] so the uh so they said to me isn't god upset about this i said every person's born with a hook in their mouth god's outside of time do you think any time is passing right now you think this is really time like right now as the seconds are going by you know but you think there's time especially for god who's outside of time is any time passing so like while we're watching uncle fred act like an idiot [Music] you know the there's and we're like wow you know all that time he's doing all that stuff and whoa it's been already two weeks he's behaving this way and it's been a year it's been 10 years there's no time and and he already has a hook in his mouth god in the end he pulls everybody back in you know everybody gets just letting a few more people into zoom everyone gets reeled back in and god's okay he's okay pulls everybody back in he can hack it you know do you think you can surprise god with your behavior when you do something wrong god's like don't i can't believe it you understand it's like this you can't surprise hashem you can't surprise god he he like totally knows what he's doing he's got a billion people out there he knows he knows it all there's nothing you could do that would shock god and um and that that's why when you know the whole thing is just your own reckoning and it's for you to come close but yeah you could come close you have to be able to go far not that you should go far but then the whole reason you've been given the desire to go far is for reward to come close if god you know if if god wanted you just to be close he wouldn't give you a desire to go far and if god didn't didn't put you here to reward you for your life in this giant matrix and this huge video game of ours if god didn't set us up to to be rewarded for being here well he wouldn't have given you a desire to go the other way but we always have to remember that the whole point of this that desires is just to come close that's it it's to be rewarded well what does it mean come close you're thinking i mean come close like in your behavior here and i that's good but i don't mean that what i mean is that when you lived in the spirit world there's a whole world called the spirit world and alamo and in the spirit world you can't get closer without being in a body you have to first be in a body make choices do make good choices against your base desires you make a choice and then you get and then you've basically earned closeness by doing that but it only translates into the closeness when you pass away and you're back to the world of souls only in the world of souls can you get closer and no time elapsed anyway down here in the world of souls there's no time and and there's no time in in in god and all there is is god we're just inside this matrix that seems to have time and and our job is just to go towards the light you know but you got to have a desire for the dark and in that struggle is the reward that's rewarding struggles the reward is in in the struggle is in the struggle away from dark towards life some people get more reward than others you know like like some people don't have a big struggle seems like it yeah well they they have other struggles probably but they some people don't you know some people have serious struggles some people are like having big struggles and it and it's crazy because it's such a massive misunderstanding for those you know i think all of us well we all for sure know people who are doing stuff they should not be doing and they know they shouldn't be doing and they're doing it habitually and they feel help helpless to do it if it gets bad enough i'll send them to a clinic in mexico there's a rabbi who runs a clinic two rabbis now in mexico but one's like a real clinic and the other one's the other one's much more like jungle jungle living but in the jungles of mexico and cancun there's all these clinics where someone who feels they really they're beyond free will they're not they don't even have free will anymore they're so wrapped up in an addiction that's killing them basically so they will go to uh one of these clinics drugs and stuff more like also drugs addicted to drugs as well like but i don't i normally send only people who have uh who have sexual addictions that's that's who i send because that's even though drugs can break up a whole family that addiction that i mentioned is way more going to break up the whole thing yeah yeah so anyway so i send them to clinics in mexico there's a bark of a tree in africa called iboga you ever heard of that yes so there's a bark from a tree in africa called iboga i-b-o-g-a park is uh it's it's uh it's chilling it's surely it's the wood from a tree all right bar okay mark's just the outer layer yeah so anyway but that causes um people to wear whatever this open wound is this la this unclosed loop in their life from their childhood that's caused this gaping hole in their heart which we call the god size hole it's a god-sized hole in their heart do you know what fills a god-sized hole god gosh nothing else sorry nothing else fills the god's eyes all right so the iboga sends you i mean you're monitored you're on full heart rate and blood pressure this doctor's there and you go through a full life review and close all the circuits of your childhood while on this medicine on the iboga i think the laboratory level of it is called the ibogaine ibogaine is the bark the tree is called iboga and what they synthesize in the labs is called the ibogaine anyway but if someone's really on the edge do you want water by the way if someone's really on the edge so i'll send them to mexico for that it's not cheap but everyone's everyone who's done it has come out they've come out clean yeah not easy and there's another there's another rabbi over there in the jungle who's taking a lot of new yorkers who who just want to do like deep work we meet you in mexico rob hey java that's a mexican right there do you hear that accent how are you chava is your camera on yes hi chubb are you with eliza yes hi how are you thank god really good thank god i'm amazing so anyway i'm going to check out some questions here oh wait let me ask you a question or two so um i'm trying to think you guys have any questions of yehuda a man living in the in the judean hills in the judean hills in the middle of uh you know like a very very exposed area um first of all is there anything you'd want to say to the world who wants to believe in all the propaganda of uh the arabian israeli conflict or whatever i mean you're living on the land in a village surrounded by arab villages yeah and you're in a jewish village so is there uh something you could share with us [Music] i realized lately i was thinking what's the best way for me to build my home so there's so many ways of building your home when you live out in the forest when you live inside a town but when you live out on the hills of judea everything is open so i was trying to think what's the best how do i connect with the place i live so hashem i figured it out there's so many rocks so i was like wait yeah covavino took a rock a couple rocks put it under his head and he went to sleep on it i was like okay yeah let's let's sleep on that and what i did is i started collecting rocks out of my garden and just like suddenly they became a wall really just put one another and suddenly out of the rocks laying down there just waiting for something to happen you pass through them every day for 10 years 10 years are passing through them like oh god i have to build my house i was living in a caravan i'm going to build my house i'm going to collect money for business it's like okay wow there's a lot of why don't i just collect rocks and now there's no rocks just laying every like they became like a house i mean i'm still building it so that's i think it's an amazing thing we can we're so lucky to be here in israel like if we're connected to that thing you said like in jerusalem sometimes they throw you get like something thrown out of the ship just doing that living here and being just really connected to where i am and one thing i was thinking about today i would say he said it's easier to take a jew out of exile than the exile out of a jew and then [Music] it's a little bit hurting but i i live that every day it's it's like such a painful thing to to feel you know i think it like almost every day when i wake up and i think about the holocaust but not thinking about things that happen there i like see views of the holocaust yeah so it's a little bit tough but at the same time i i realized that that's what directed me to live where i live like they're on the rocks and building for because i have this such a strong feeling of like no more gullets no more exile no more exile so yeah so that's one thing i can mention i don't know what you asked but that's my answer yeah so i was i'm wondering i guess i'm wondering something much less powerful but but maybe more interesting to on a political level is is how do you all get along out there all these villages and what do you mean you guys do you guys get along oh why would you ever interact at all with the arab villages where there's no interaction every day oh really every day it's amazing it's like every day every day every every every time i go out i mean i meet arabs and we have to talk i i found myself like two months ago just knocking on this arab all the guy i knew and on his door i was with my daughter on the way back home i was like wait take a ride and then i took a ride i stopped next to this house our house was knocked in the door and i went in and it's amazing it was this older guy with his wife and the amazing thing was that two of his sons all their sons married sons were like it was like four o'clock in the afternoon sitting there next to him just like sitting there that was like and i was like okay so i was like i tried to stay calm and just like be not like bring all my thing and just like it was so amazing to see the the covered the sons today so i asked him i asked him like is this like your everyday thing he's like yeah they come here every day they sit they drink tea no and that's very very avrahamavino very um so i was like a little bit jealous were you yeah i was like oh my car running and for sure they have that also but but they do go sit with their father they said so i asked another guy another guy who shared with me that he's like really bad relationships with his father he told me i'm like okay and every day he goes and sit with his father this is another guy so so can you imagine that in the hasidic world you have a bad relationship with your father but you ship with them every day so okay so i don't want to say the jews are like we are much more amazing but the same time we react to those herbs every day every day and it's amazing because they have this they have this coverage it's an honor this honor like to to between them i was fired like a while ago and then an error they gave the job to an air because it's much cheaper for them to have it and he worked harder and the day they fired me so the arab came to me and he's like you grabbed me in my hand he was like listen dude i can't take your job and no no way i can't do this for you and i had to stop myself and like look at this guy and try and figure out what is he feeling saying to me because i was fired already and he's in but he had this covered and i was like okay just look at it like that that's his coverage speaking right now that's his honor yeah he's taking the job yeah so my political view is that we have to understand that this is our land and they're going to like try and circle us when i look i looked it should i continue sure i looked i i saw this like in the cloud it's like amazing like in going down to a green bus this wall with the the picture of the baiting dash the the temple not the temple but like the mount of the temple mount and like like a lot of uh like rays of light just like all the houses and stuff and then temple mount and then i was like wow after it there's not a lot of stuff happening like a couple of arabs and then there's like a desert sure and i was like wow this is amazing i mean they can say it's muslim it's a christian but we we see it's like jewish but from the other side if you look at it from the other side it's all open for something to happen in the hills out there yes something can happen there's free land if you go a little bit inside it's already the desert judea desert and i was like wow i mean we tell us all the time the story of like okay we're like where are we heading i'm saying if we look at it from the mizrah it's all open and ready for like a huge festival gathering of people wondering what you're getting at meaning we need to make a huge festival in those hills down in the desert right on the other side let's say let's say is that the shame is going to be built out my mission okay you want to hear my mission yeah what's your name let's say this aftershave machine is going to come tonight and it's going to be based on making this tomorrow yeah morning we wake up for an amazing like when we wake up in january to snow yeah and it's a base to make this so people have to come to base and make dash they have to go through somewhere to get ready to go up the base of my dish and make this something like it's just a uniting thing with themself and god they they can't come from work so i think if we do like this amazing there just right here but like the other side yeah okay anyway that's my political view not a regular made political view but let's check out some of the comments here hi michael the mayan i'm just going to look at

what will the program be like oh yeah so i'm debating about this shabbos program uh it's i'm i'm doing a shabbaton for possibly graduates in the country next week and um anyone who graduated the seminar can come and if they're married to someone who didn't do the seminar they can still come as a couple my wife's coming that's very special so i have my wife there and there will be some babysitting for people with newborns single people can also come with roommates that's the one who paid for their own room um the shabbos is going to be friday through sunday they'll be programming all along they'll be including some music um the the the the idea behind the the concept behind the experience of the the shabbos is to have all the people who've done this self-transformation work to be together for an entire uh together for like 40 hours um it's gonna be i'll be teaching a lot um there will be different sessions um there will probably be some sessions that will be review-like but all any review i'll do it will be to specifically get us back into the experiential so that everyone's in full experience mode and i've been toying around i'm also sure this was shy as well i've been toying around with actually doing the curriculum of one of the other seminars one of the seminars that i've not yet put out that are available in webinar form to be purchased at rabbayontoe.com thinking of coming with that with that webinar and uh and doing the entire live thing on shabbos so i have many titles that are already created what seminars so i'm thinking of making that shabbaton an entire seminar so i might do desire or maybe i'll do love i'm not sure which one or maybe time i haven't decided i'll go over all my outlines and all the titles of the different seminars and make a choice of which one we'll do so that's that's another um idea and the last time we did i just taught a lot of like you know turbocharged power classes and that's meditations and various things like that it's a great review though to be with everybody and you just kind of get back into possible you you know that kind of transformation mode which is fun there's no like crying and like you know all the heavy work of the possibly because it's china's it's not appropriate but uh yeah it should be good times and we'll be in nature and we're gonna be in the forest uh the force of upstate new york next week next challenge um this coming show is actually i think i'm going to be in the country someone's bringing me to the country okay um and yeah there would definitely be uh some beautiful darwining and stuff like that we should have i'm hoping we're gonna opinion um there i i think we never uh shy you see opinions on there uh yeah he's on our on our live feed here yeah there's pina sing sing us a little something uh sing us um uh one one line from raza to shabbos i'm hoping pina is coming for shabbos but maybe give us a little preview what are you coming up to when are you
