The Call Of Fall - (Ft. Foliage)

I want to I want to express we have we have hers contemplates and anybody driving in Connecticut contemplates the foliage the beautiful leaves the fall season it's it's stunning it's interesting I clmo I don't want to intellectualize something beautiful you ever have a favorite food you start analyzing why you like it you could almost analyzation to paralyzation like if I like a certain food. I like eggs. Said Daniel, weird. Does it hit your palette? I don't know. I just like, you know, that not willing to go there. So, I just like it's nice. >> People analyze pizza. >> Yeah. Analyze pizza like that. I just like slice of pizza. Right. They overanalyze it. And you right. It almost paralyzes. Hashem made things that we enjoy and be grateful. Stop intellectualizing something and be grateful. I if I describe my own journey here guys taught me to stop to stop intellectualizing emotions and start feeling emotions. They're people that they're therapists that intellectually are the biggest bee in emotions and they're emotionless but they're mishim they can h I've seen people handle so of emotions but they're completely out of touch. A lot of the revolution of of guy a lot of what I see here is people rearin David one of theadikur said about guys in yeshiva they have a le they have open hearts he said this mish observing he said le he said go find out he told guys find out what happens there that the heart opens up we have to introduce him to we have to show them you know but there's a le there's an open heart so you don't want to intellectualize something you feel so I want to say the foliage age. Firstly, it's just beautiful. It's wonderful. It's wonderful. I don't want to like get like it's supposed to be an intellectual. It's just nice and Hashem loves us. It's so nice to come here. It's just beautiful. It's very pleasant. I see on the beautiful campus of Durham see two type of guys. A certain percentage that enjoy the beauty. Like you could get you could catch certain guys looking around and like enjoying remember I'm going years ago just not remember Schlommo D finding in different places like seeing like he's like he's like soaking it in and you have guys in yeshiva there are guys who are walking in the forest like soaking in the beauty it's a certain type Shapiro like loves the scene and the beauty like he gets intoxicated from it like it's nice and something precious Hashem made beautiful things for human beings to have because he loves us. >> So you could just enjoy I claim Aki even the guys that don't know they enjoy it makes a difference just a nice background it's it's pleasant even the guy who doesn't even contemplate it much they have theories like this by the Gim they have something called blight control it could be the word of the day you know what blight is somebody look on their phone blight not bling bling is fancy jewelry Blight. You've ever heard blight mo? You've heard of blight control? >> Schlimmer, could you look up blight means something? >> Yeah. Blight control is a group of the government that just wants the streets to look pretty, the houses to look nice and they have theories that it solves robbery that the nicer the streets, people act less violently. That's such a and they like it's it's like they hold its posit like that. So, Hashem made a world that's beautiful. Even the guy who doesn't outwardly appreciate it so nice. >> That's very true. Yeah. Yeah. There there somebody called me up. A yid called me up. I'm I'm not You could ask could ask yet a yid called me up and said I want to take I will pay you the whole thing. I want to take the Carl norm and rebuild it beautifully. So we're talking about it. Yeah, for sure it matters. Something's pretty and nice and comfortable. For sure it affects human behavior. But I want to just express about the foliage that's hitting me this year. And I something that's hitting this year. I don't like when people mail it in late in a game. This is a personal thing. Late in the game, people go to Tam. What do you mean? There's time left in the game. Let's play late in a season. I I happen to have a hobby when we have we we think of Zmanim two weeks manim and yeshiva. I don't like the last night. Let's just wait for the buses. Let's do like we have we have time. Let's nail it. There's an inion about old people that are still there's still fruitful in old age where there's life where there's where there's time where there's energy. Let's do something. Never mail it in. Never find yourself mailing it in. I love that in Hashem's world the leaves are about to go and they give like a last stand. That's gorgeous. I love it. They're about to go like winter a little bit. I felt badly. I was in I was thinking about winter's mind because that's what it's called. From the first night back, I spoke a little about winter. Then I got asked after Danielle, it's not winter, it's fall. And you're jumping and it didn't resonate a lot by the guys talking about win. I'm I'm very into skiing these days. Nothing to do with I think skiing the spiritual. It's a physical manifestation of something. We'll talk about it, but I jumped the gun. What was I talking about winter? It's fall. I did what the world doesn't do. The world doesn't just say it's winter. Okay, let's just ride this out. It gets gorgeous. We're here and we're going to be beautiful. We're and it's a it's a lesson. I think the trees are trees, Hashem's Bria speaks. If the trees have voices, they say where there's life, there's hope. Where there's life, there's energy. Where there's life, do never mail it in. Don't find yourself saying there's only let's let's enjoy. Let's let's be present to this. It's interesting over y my wife and I were that our son flew in from Israel and there was certainly feelings when there was like a day left they're leaving it's normal feel they're leaving you're let that's a human emotion but I also want to feel let's say they're leaving anyway no let's enjoy let's do let's so much can be accomplished in a minute I hear in the beautiful trees all your needs a minute. The trees look beautiful and look what they give to people and it's stunning. Yeah, there's storms coming up. I I recently got very very very into the psna and it's a new like thing for me. I I started reading I started learning his Torah and reading up about him. the psna and the trees there's a there's alah ps but there's the psna reminds me of this message of the trees the safer kaidesh is mindblowing we have a safer you can't make this you hold the book you could shake like a leaf you have to pick up a kesh like a holy safer the kaidesh was written warso was blowing up the zerus against he was losing his family, his daughter, his wife. Crazy and he was shalanging like it's wild there. You kidding me? He's saying they're singing. They're sing if you pick up a kesh after the most beautiful. You did a midst sing. I hear the voice. The street is blowing up, chaotic, crazy. And the is sitting around. Every week there were less people there. It was you have to like it's it's it's not a normal scene. And they're sitting sh and then the pess would shy and from those he wrote it in a safer. He wrote it down. Eventually he buried his notes in a milk can in a tin can. It was the the milk used to come in a tin can. He took the notes from the shallow in the middle of a world on fire. And he put the notes in a tin can in a milk can buried it on the ground and left a note. If you find this, please return it to my brother. His brother lived in Israel. I don't know if he left an address or a phone number. He said, if you find these notes, they're pretty important. He buried it underground. He was killed. He was killed in 1943. And in 1950, seven years later, a Polish worker was digging dug up the tin can saw the notes and Bashemi sold it to a yid for $1. He didn't know we we'd pay millions. Sold it for $1 to a yid. He said, "These might be valuable. We have to save Kaides from that." The sage kaidesh is because some Polish guy dug up the tin can. You know that mayor? He sold it to a to a yid for a guy was in the American army 1950 was stationed a an American yid was stationed in in Poland. And this Polish worker sold the ishesim for $1. And today we have the safer. Hold the safe. Please buy the safer. Just have it in your house. And whenever you're feeling like things are lost, look at the s hold it and shake and know that if there's a minute, there's life, there's life, there's hope, there's service, there's eternity. He was he was singing smeirus. He was saying at Vtori giving a shall it's a collection of the shallow dras historians know which drusha he said when you know what happened that week. It's like cra and that drussia was responds crazy. But if there's a minute, if there's an hour, a person could like sing a song and it's like eternal and it lives. It's forever. >> You know, >> no, no, I had no idea. I had no idea this within three days. It's the nisham is here. So these things happen. It's it's but that it's the nishama comes. So you feel it. You don't even know. Our nish the gumar says know many things we don't know. our I promise you all of our nish are in touch with many things we don't know many he didn't know but is is masle some I've heard translate as is nish our nishamas know things we don't know many things sometimes you send something you don't even know why know something say yeah I didn't come here I I did not sad to speak about the vss zero in thinking I was driving I didn't even think his name I'm sitting here just felt like to speak about him but it's it's his yard makes sense but the the the the kesh and it's so cool to me that his yard sites in full because the trees looking beautiful moves me a lot it moves me a lot give up you're done not what are you talking about they look somebody told me a line I'm not into fall they're going to die soon anyway that that was that was like a version of eat drink and be married tomorrow will die. They're going to die anyway. I'm living full. I'm going to I'm in a capture full. I had a little karata the fir and it didn't resonate the first night back. I was winter and the guys it didn't resonate anybody. I'm like looking around like well it's kind of warm out. We just played football and 80 degrees yesterday and I'm like handling I'm missing fall. Don't go to winter yet. That was winter's man. We call it as such. So I was like talking about winter but it didn't resonate when it's snowy. I'm going to tell you my winter thoughts yet. But fall as a season. Fall is a beautiful season. It's stunning. Now, it's a funny season. It's even funny. I like that Ellie insisted we had football in Yeshiva. So, first of all, I'm thankful he did. I don't want to hear it can't be done. Nobody plays football. Stop with those attitudes. Ellie said there's going to be football hand. What a tournament. Yeah. Says Gishmak. I love that Ellie did and created. Don't listen to it. Can't. It won't. and we ran a beautiful was a blast and guys had fun but it was beautiful weather and I like that that we're not like mailing it in. We played an outdoor volleyball this week. We had It's full, beautiful season. Beautiful. The weather is actually very Go on walks. Very nice weather. It's very interesting. It's like a little cool. You get to wear cool merch. You could wear your nice sweaters. Is meant for full. Yeshivish guys loved the good sweater. And the full was like built for a yeshivish guy. Nice sweater you could put on. The tie and the sweater and socks are the three articles of clothing of the yeshivish guy. This season was built for the nice sweater. But fall is the foliage, the gorgeous foliage is like a big it's talking. The Hashem's Bria talks to us. And it says where there's life, bring it. Where there's where there's life, bring it. Don't tomorrow. Then what may I what will be will be, but bring it. There's life is eternal when you bring it. And it counts. And if we're absorbing it and it's saying something to us, then it's forever. The ish kaidesh would have had that attitude. I'm not into fall. It's gonna all die anyway. First of all, the trees are saying the opposite. Somebody who says, "I'm not into fall. It's gonna die anyway." The world's talking different than you. Because if that was the attitude, why they getting gorgeous now? What the world is saying to you is that where there's life, there's what to do. And what to bring, I'm going to bring it harder if I think there's a little time. And the world's announcing where there's life, there's hope. where there's where I exist. Let me and they they bring such a beauty and hashem designed the bria like this rev hers this is not the necessarily revir says something else there's what I'm feeling from the foliage there's what I'm hearing hashem talks to all of us in his own way there's what I'm hearing in the beautiful foliage it is stunning like breathtaking it's some something unique it's in I don't know the science well I've seen places that are only green and they don't change colors if If it stays green, if it doesn't get beautiful, it doesn't leave. It's interesting what I don't know which trees there are to evergreens are called evergreen because they're evergreen and they don't fall and they'll stay in the winter. But this gets gorgeous and it's be a short time there won't be leaves. But while they're here, they like get beautiful. They like they announce themselves and they're just pretty. The colors, the different colors. It looks I always thought it looks pastel, but it could. I'm very bad with colors. That's Hey, Nano's the color guy. Why does it look pastel to me? All the colors. Does that the different just It's beautiful. Glad you say >> it's not right. >> No, it is. >> No, it's definitely beautiful. That's for sure. >> Could you get the translation for pastel for for >> Shims? >> [snorts] >> What' you say? >> It's like soft and subtle and nice like it's >> says low saturation, but these are pretty heavy. >> I sound I'm wrong. Well, but but there's something delicate the yellow. Yeah, maybe I have to color significant amount of white. I mean that makes it soft >> very well. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> That's >> they look pretty together like work. Some even looks like fire. The different colors work well together. >> Certain trees get different colors or different stages. You have to >> I think certain trees get you so >> it looks to me certain trees get different colors and like some behind >> I don't know it's funny there's yellow this red on this lake >> now everybody's look we should do like a sheer trip outside and like absorb >> bring a botist to discuss >> what are you looking at Ka What's >> I don't know what I asked but it's just there's so many different types of trees that turn >> he was asking that shim zaka is saying tell could you tell shims that >> there different trees that turn different color >> I think so >> sugar maples [laughter] >> it's pretty amazing eh Amazing. >> Guys miss this. It's interesting. Guys come from Florida have told me that they don't have this. I don't know. I don't know why. I don't know if the cold causes it. They don't have the winter that they die. I don't know. The guy the Flidians have been amazed by it. They see snow and this is like an unusual. We get a little used to the shims. Even though in Brooklyn you probably don't see tons of this. >> Not so much foliage. A little bit. Here is tons. It's beautiful. I have a tree in my backyard. I have one that's like a shade of red that's like like it's stunning. I don't I had shimme store thought I had Shims told us like what trees go to what? I don't know. >> Seems like the chlorophyll makes it green. That's what they're saying. >> What makes it >> chlorophyll is what makes it green. >> I watched the video said that the tree extracts the chlorophyll from the leaf. So it saves it for the the upcoming season instead of having the leaves just fall. So then having to like take those that chemical from the ground. >> So it just extracts it back. >> Oh my goodness. That which makes it green goes into the tree. It >> chemical whatever the oranges the reds that we're seeing >> a different chemical but because it wants to save that one for the next leaf. >> There's a whole Awesome with the leaves falling. If you notice the every leaves on the most leaves on the ground are alive. They don't die out the tree fall. A whole there's a whole another I don't know it but there's a whole another science >> why they fall. >> Yeah. The tree like goes and they don't die on the tree. >> That's true. >> Yeah. really is. >> The yellows the yellow exists that it just once you take away the green that can shine. They say comes from the break of the least. >> You know there's like reminisce people on a sha the whole time you have like things blocking the beauty. You move it. Whoa. Okay. It's funny. It was really yellow and gorgeous the whole time. It was just it was like a camouflage of green. Interesting. Hashem is bri amazing. But this is what the leaves are telling me now. She never mail it in. Never say, "Okay, never quit. Never give up. There's a minute. There's a moment. We're here and we're functioning. We're putting in." Don't mail it in. Never. It's a week. We could we we're sitting here sitting down studying the leaves. We can mail it in. It's of shabas. Let's get to lunch and we try. We did this week. No, we're learning from the leaves. Right at the beginning of the parisha, we're taught we're taught something that I think we misunderstand a bit. It says told and then Hashem gives a little speech. It's talking about the children of it talks about nayak's life and told is about to speak about nayak. But then for a second, Hashem says, "Can I tell you about him? speaks about I wanted to share in speaking about the he calls him what's that was that a good friend of mine of John Wogan sent me a Ramban I want to study the Ramban I was expressing yesterday that a sadic tim is a sadic who works in this world there are people that are sadikim but they don't know how to work here they don't know how to maybe they're rough around the edges. They don't know how to express their tkos in a way. Do you know somebody who speaks English with a crazy accent? They know all the words, but they learned it from a dictionary. So, they don't know a usable English. There are people who situs doesn't seem to flow here. They don't know how to translate their tidas. They're loyal to Tyra to Hashem, but somehow amongst their family, amongst their friends, they're uneasy and uncomfortable to be with. But sadic perhaps that sadic who works here, who elevates his surroundings that is situs is whole. It's function they call in the world of intelligence, they call intelligence and functional intelligence. You could have a guy who's a genius, but he's so dumb socially. His EQ is like he's a genius but imamish can't understand his wife, his children, his surroundings, people. So somehow it's like dysfunctional intelligence is functional. His sidkas works here. So Rash's why is Hashem like giving a eulogy on Nak's alive. So says Rashi since he mentioned he says something nice about him. The mentioning of it sadic should be a there's an in when you say it doesn't only mean when he passes mo do you know certain I love when mid sharim do this if they mention a safer they say something nice about the they say the like tell you something about him I like people that do it they can say he's the middle of a but you don't have to be different than hem it's in the itself I mentioned him let me tell you I like I like during and again it could be distracting like you're in the middle of a who lived in the 1700 they'll share something I like that and it really is following Hashem's lead hashem mentions and takes a little break told let me tell you the story oh did I mention let me tell you a about him. When I mention you say, you say your praise. This is not only when the is alive is is departed. It's funny we say. We talk about after somebody's gone. I don't know why we do that. We'll never say a living sadic zatal. But zatal is even when he's alive. The mentioning of its you you mention him you say say a praise just the mention of his name it makes sense to say a praise because the mention of his name is inspiring and this is true on a live person you mention I love in yeshiva there's an there's an energy when you say visiting speakers if you don't know this here the guys are very so you mention the gets excited Visiting speakers have to know if you say your guy's name here the place is going to erupt to the point like if I'm in the middle of speaking to the I don't want to say like Mort's name say like chairs but they're really right is right Sammy it's very you mention him let's let's get excited a bit let's talk about him let's let's get into this Zatal is not just for after the parting. It's funny that we're busy with it. I guess that's what it brings out most >> after the gone. That's the biggest thing that's brought out is anytime we mention say goodness, but it's really an unhug of just the mere mention of it's name, it arouses inspiration. And then we mention I me hashem like you read the hashem said he like just starts gushing it's almost like you can't help but that's what the mention that's what it happens when you say to people start glowing it's funny I get older I'm a big fan of Jewish geography it's just a lot of fun but there's certain names you tell somebody people like glow they light up that's just the mention of like I just was talking I was trying to like just talk I see this when the guy start exploding you mention and goes wild I see in this hashem mention okay this is the story of not did some in my family we have a joke when Israel mayor was little somebody said the word sushi so Israel may it's a famous line in my family every family has their like lines Somebody some who did Y is Mayor when he was a kid somebody mentioned the word sushi may say did somebody say sushi he got excited did somebody say sushi today you can't tempt him he's not a big sushi guy but he when he was little somebody said the word he said did somebody I see this like did somebody say no like you mention everything freezes we're not going No. Anyway, I'm not going I'm not leaving that fact. I'm not like did you ever have this in learning schlommo? I've had in learning where I want to say a certain thing in a I want to like focus but you say a few words and somebody start asking on that. One second. Something big was I'm not running over this. Hashem like wants to tell the story like it's almost it's so lack of focus here. I'm coming to say this is the story of Nyak's children. Nayak. What's that like? You mention everything freezes. There's what to there's what to be said about this because the sadic the impact of the sadic and the sadic is never just like a background of a story. Okay, let me talk about story. I picture did somebody say we're not like I'm not getting past that. You're you're moving on to another topic. I'm not. And such is the power of it. such as the importance of a saddic that Hashem was who's talking about something else. I want to talk about the children of Whoa. Okay, I mentioned let me talk about him a bit. I find this when when when they pause. I like this a lot. You've seen speakers do this mo I appreciate it a ton. There's a pause and there's like a and it's it to me it's very tur what >> energiz >> yeah I think it energize about to say and I think mod's also a presentness can't say that name and just go fight not just name dropping and away we go you said that name whoa freeze pause I do think that it helps what you're about to say it becomes alive it's had that yeah In general, we spoke this week about praising people, but saying of people's mention as this does this. He mentions the Hashem talks about him. It's not just going says over, we said, you're supposed to do it. The mention of his name, it elicits it. I wanted to I wanted to share with the that today is the yard side of my grandmother my father's mother and she was a very very big person in my life and my growing up a big person what I saw in her is a tremendous sabri she loved people and this of you mention somebody say your praise the Ram only gives a couple of example of loving yidden and he says to be to speak the praises It was I'm not talking about a forced thing. Note to self. I'm not even saying that note to self. Say praises like that's a forest. Okay, I'll start doing it. I'm talking about to let it be like when you're excited about something. I like the guy's chair. It's like okay in middle of something. I said a name. I like what the saying. No, I'm sorry. We're not like you say Morty and they just go on. Then you Revzi during Sh. I miss tremendously and I'm going to talk about him because I said his name miss I want to say people say he interrupt he doesn't interrupt Shim he listens to Shim Reszi is not willing something was said everybody said it's like DID YOU HEAR WHAT WAS SAID HE jumps anybody who knows the magim when the mag said there was a zos and thera thought he was mishuga rebush the mag would say four words would go crazy start jumping up and down now. They they carried him out at times. They carried out. He's disrupting, but they weren't being a bunch of good boys like writing notes. Did you know what was just said? He would go crazy. Did somebody say sushi? It's a new rally in Cray. Did somebody say sushi? You think I'm just letting that go? Like there somebody's alive. People just sitting there being good. You said a name. Excuse me. That like woke me up. Did somebody say sushi? That's revzi's homeus. You say a ver he like start shouting. You say let me get to the let me get to the point. Excuse me. Rebush the mag would say a and he wanted to say a whole was in the rebush went wild. The mag said the he started jumping. They carried him out. We want to hear heishir. He just said a I'm not I'm not I'm sorry. Did somebody say apost I'm not I'm not letting that pass and just like being a good boy he they'd carry him out later on they he was like from the he's excited by something something was said something was valuable something was important something I'm not just letting that slide I have times when I'm listening to a shir and I struggle with this when in my own brain the speaker says something I like but then he goes I always struggle do I just sit there and he's vit but I'm not or do I just try to like go Ver and store it up. I personally will often just stay there and I'm the speech I hear you invite I can't help it. I could tell you by dinger we say the anuas and then we do I'm not ready to part from the anu how how mish were close to hashem I'm not ready to admit all my flaws and to detach from my flaws. I'm just want to I'm like busy that we're like we're good people. So I go longer the up to I want to if it was up to me I can't control what goes on. We would stay on for an hour or two or three on sing it. I always ask in concerts when the likes stay in it a bit like don't just move to the next one. Did somebody say sushi? The good singers when a song hits they stay there. They go back to it. Somebody said something is worthy of pausing of stop. When we say I'm not ready to go to the next thing. It's okay. I'm behind. So So be it. I'll be a little behind. I'll be a little behind. But I I got to say this for a little bit. I I got to focus. I want to sing it. I want to sing a I want to sing a few tunes of this. That's what I see in this. Like on the way Hashem is talking, he he like pulls an Ezi. Hashem's talking. Hashem's talking. These are the children of Did somebody say? And Hashem gives us You're interrupting. No, he's not interrupting. You say that Saddic is never that Saddic's been mentioned. Let's let's talk about him. Let's we're not just saying that Saddic and going right something hits and the very memory that sadic brings it out. My grandmother was somebody when when she spoke about people, they were celebrated. >> She celebrated people. She loved telling us, she would tell us this one. She would brag to the whole world. Schlommo Edelstone took the bar, took not the bar, took the Elsa and got a crazy good score. But she would brag and be excited and press it like it would be. I'm telling you, she would spread these words. It's not We're not just letting it pass. I had this week Schlommo I had this week I went to speak I went to speak somewhere and somebody made an announcement a good person made an announcement that the Stern College soccer team won for their first game I think they said in six years it was three or six years many years was the first game they won so and then they gave a polite cheer I wasn't letting that pass there are and there were three girls there who had come in their uniforms and They just won the soccer game. First one I I think we did three standing ovations for them. You're just going right there like that's it. They won, they played, they enjoyed, they yen bonded together. My grandmother was that mitsus like she celebrated people. Schlim is great. She would have been all over the town like felling. You know the old Yiddish word toll ma. You don't knowing >> that you can't look up on Google. What is does Google haveing? >> Oh my gosh. You know whating is? >> It's what grandmothers do like you're you're like just enjoying iss I got to speak about him. You know what is >> Could you read? Does it have >> What does it say? means to feel bursting with pride and joy especially over something you love >> Yiddish word my grandmother was a mix holy lady but there's not like but this was like very defining for holiness >> work felling about schla is great but like the whole yes I want work felling here. We're going to start felling more after Yel dominates in the in the league. I want more felling. I will call up your mother say you're not you're not going to call up your family. Shim say my friend got like a crazy score in the Elsat fell a little bit. My grandmother was excited about Yidden. She was misapp. I'm not talking about something forced. I'm talking about like she bothered to like think about it to enjoy it to appreciate it. That was like her talk was the goodness of Yidden. That was her talk. She spoke about people. You heard their successes, their achievements, their accomplishments, their in the family. She was alwaysing about another person you mention just there's can I tell you about a bit like I can't help I'm just can't help this fell a little bit. So should grant us all that we should be to to feel it not in a forced way to be comfortable to we should all about I want to express that her holiness should have an aliyah and all of us should be to see good in say good about you mentioned say a praise get excited did go mug bit I'm not saying a force thing I'm saying to like not to rush was so rushed you mention a bit talk about it where you running you have something more important to do what more important than being hashem stopped the to be that isra itself that's
