I've just wanted to tell this story since 1970. >> There's definitely going to be crying, an incredible sadness, and incredible joy and jubilation. You wake up the next day and you're like, "What's wrong with my body? Is Is Is broken? Why am I What makes me so different?" You don't go to sleep wake up. And you don't go to sleep walk. And you're really isolated. I was an intravenous drug user. I used to shoot up heroin. It was introduced to me by my brother. I don't know whether I was running away or to something. The turning point came when I woke up in the middle of the night. My whole apartment was filled with smoke. And I run outside and the shul was on fire. I mean, like on fire. He kicked the door. He got the Torah. I took all the tefillin bags and threw them out the window and cleaned them off. And then the roof caved in. Then the next day the whole shul chipped in and brought me my tefillin, siddur, and tallis. And they all put tefillin on for the first time. They wrapped it for me. We all had a good cry together. And after that, I never missed putting on tefillin a single day [music] after that. I feel like like they always say that you're not returning to Hashem, you're returning to yourself. And I'm finally loving myself and supporting myself and doing the things not to prove that I'm better or worse or not to prove anything, but I'm just back.
