A Plea From The Heart

twenty-two years ago rabbi bin yamansen ray bamgarten approached me and asked me would i get involved in civ headquarters my response was what a question of course not i grew up with a tremendous passion to go on schleiches to go out to the world and be my kind of yiddin this is what my life my wife's life was all about but they asked me one question would you ask your mastbia of course i said yes laughing knowing that no one would dream of staying back in crown heights when they can go on sliches my mash pia said no way we're in a situation where ain't bae is we're losing our children and even the children who are involved are lacking the passion the escalators it's so challenging now in the times after gimmel thomas you he said have to stay [Music] that was the hardest moment of my life my life's dreams were crushed but i knew this is what mashallah wanted and we started back then and slowly over the years build different programs but fourteen years ago we had this host to partner with raymond marcus and the lobbyists schools worldwide we went on a mission to build the children's escashers to build their connection to the rabbi to build their identity as soldiers in hashem's army to give them the passion to go on to learn terror to do mitzvahs to daven like a soldier like a khasid should and barak hashem had incredible incredible hatslach and i want to share some startling numbers with you kidan nine years ago had 45 children today we're over 6085 strong this is not a program for the most elite children this is something with four tracks that every child is part of have gone from thirty three thousand kept like a year to one point six million capital tania balpair 14 years ago we couldn't get 11 000 lines and this year our goal is 1.2 million lines of tanya and another million lines of mishnay's palpate and we're gonna make it he done recruitment and limoud and now the motivational prizes and the trips and the event and the awards and parents we want to thank you so much for all that you've done to support your khayalim and all the money that you paid for each parent pays fifty dollars and the money that you paid for them towards the hedon because with that income and the money we get from america's mr george roar and rabbi together amounts to over 2 million but our budget is currently way over four million dollars so there's still two million dollars that we need to raise to train the kayali menachem's army so we're turning to you as you see and feel the impact to help us cover this two million and not only stop there but to continue to grow so we can reach every jewish child and train them to be who will lead clowley's show out of gallows picardy mamash please give whatever you can and together we'll make it happen [Music] you
