SKYPE

I READ IN THE JEWISH MEDIA ABOUT THIS REBBE
AND THAT ROV MAKING LIGHTING VISITS
FROM ISRAEL TO THIS COUNTRY.
TO THE U.S.A . A FEW TIMES A YEAR,
FOR A BRIS OF A GRAND-CHILD ETC ,ETC,
THEN THESE SAME RABBONIM TALK ABOUT NOT HAVING
THE INTERNET AT HOME.

THERE ARE LOTS OF BAD THINGS ON THE INTERNET.
THE SAME AS THERE ARE LOTS OF BAD THINGS YOU CAN SEE
ON A FLIGHT TO LONDON OR THE U.S.A.
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BAD THINGS YOU CAN SEE
IN LONDON OR NEW YORK.
BUT YOU CONTROL YOURSELF,
THAT'S WHAT BEING A YID IS  ALL ABOUT.
THESE RABBONIM DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE INTERNET WORKS,
ONLY THAT YOU CAN SEE BAD THINGS ON IT.

I REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN THEY BANNED VIDEOS.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE BETH DIN IN LONDON HOW IT WORKS.
THEY THINK JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN LEARN, THEY UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING ,BUT THAT IS NOT SO.
TO-DAY AT EVERY WEDDING BY THE REBBES AND RABBONIM
THEY HAVE PEOPLE MAKING  VIDEOS.

SKYPE ON THE INTERNET IS A WAY THAT MY DEAR WIFE
CAN NOT ONLY TALK TO HER DEAR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
BUT SEE THEM AS WELL AND IT DOES NOT COST A PENNY.
BUT THESE RABBIS AND RABBONIM DO NOT WANT TO UNDERSTAND.
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL A FEW TIMES A
YEAR TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN .

INDIVIDUAL​ITY

BY MY REBBE, THE BEIS YISROEL, CARED ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL PERSON.
I ASKED MY DEAR WIFE,  " DO YOU THINK IN TODAY'S
CASSIDIC AND JEWISH ORGANISATIONS,
THE RABBIS OR THE RABBONIM CARE ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL  PERSON?

EVERYBODY NEEDS RECOGNITION  AND WANTS TO BE VALUED."
NOT JUST THE RICH OR PEOPLE WHO THE CASSIDUS OR ORGANISATION
CAN HAVE VALUE FROM.
 IF THESE RABBIS OR RABBONIM  DON'T GIVE THE  RECOGNITION
 THEY NEED,THEY WILL GET IT FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THE ONLY THING THAT OSHER SHAPIRO DOES IS
TO STOP THE DROP-OUTS BECOMING DROP-OUTS. 
HE GIVES THEM TIME, RESPECT AND RECOGNITION
BUT SOMETIMES THE PAIN FROM THE PARENTS NOT
UNDERSTANDING THE CHILDREN HAS CAUSED PAIN THAT
CAN NOT BE RECTIFIED.
THE PARENTS AND THE LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY SAY
TO THEM " YOU ARE CAUSING US EMBARRASSMENT
BY THE WAY YOU BEHAVE."
THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

NEARLY ALL MY NEIGHBORS HAVE GONE ON HOLIDAYS, POOR OR RICH.
YOU MUST NOT SAY I CAN NOT AFFORD IT.
EVEN IF YOU CAN'T, THE CHILDREN
MUST NOT KNOW THAT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD IT.
IT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO SAY TO THE CHILDREN
WE ARE CAN NOT A AFFORD IT.

YOUR SITUATION IN LIFE IS FROM G=D.
BUT WE DO NOT TEACH THIS TO THE CHILDREN.
RABBBI AND RABBONIM LIVE THERE LIVES
AND PASS ON THE WRONG VALUES IN LIFE

MY REBBE

MY DEAR WIFE AND I ARE AT THE STAGE IN LIFE WHICH WE GOT TO WITH A LOT OF TOIL AND TRUST IN THE RIBONO SHEL OLOM.
WHERE I CAN OPEN MY LIFE STORY AND TELL YOU STORIES ABOUT US AND HOW WE WORKED TOGETHER TO BRING INTO OUR  LIFE LOVE FOR EACH OTHER
AND THEN LOVE FOR THE RIBONO SHEL OLOM.

NUMBER ONE, THERE MUST NEVER BE A LIE BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.
GOOD OR BAD THE TRUTH MUST PREVAIL AS TRUTH IS THE NAME OF G=D.
AND WHERE TRUTH IS, G=D IS THERE EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE.
THIS WITH THE HELP OF G=D I HAVE PASSED ON TO MY CHILDREN.

THE BEIS YISROEL SAID TO SOMEONE:
IF I PROMISE HIM SOMETHING THEN IT IS A PROMISE I WILL NOT BREAK IT.
I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO WAS VERY NEAR TO THE BEIS YISROEL.
THE REBBE CAUGHT HIM TELLING  A LIE, HE WAS FINISHED. HE STILL HAD A PLACE BY THE REBBE. EVERYBODY HAD A PLACE. BUT IT WAS NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE.

BUT IF YOU TOLD HIM THE TRUTH, HOWEVER BAD YOU WERE,
YOU STILL HAD A PLACE BY HIM.
I USED TO COME EVERY YEAR FOR ROSH HASHONA TILL
AFTER SUCCOS TO THE BEIS YISROEL.
SOME LONDON PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE ME IN GUR .THEY STILL DON'T .
SO THEY SENT A MESSAGE TO THE BEIS YISROEL
THAT GABY LOCK WATCHES TELEVISION.

AFTER SUCCOS WHEN I WENT PRIVATELY INTO THE BEIS YISROEL
WITH A QUITTEL, JUST BEFORE LEAVING FOR LONDON,
IN MY QUITTER WAS WRITTEN ASKING A BLESSING FOR TORAH LEARNING.
THE BEIS YISROEL TURNED TO ME WHILE HOLDING MY QUITTEL IN
HIS HOLY HAND.
HE ASKED ME: " YOU WATCH TELEVISION ? " ( THIS WAS BEFORE I MADE PROGRAMS )
IN THE SECONDS THAT PASSED, I THOUGHT IN MY HEART,
HOW CAN I LIE HOWEVER BIG THE EMBARRASSMENT IS ?
I ANSWERED HIM :"  I HAVE A BIG DESIRE TO WATCH ,
I DO NOT HAVE DESIRES TO SMOKE OR DRINK,
BUT IN HALF AN HOUR I CAN UNDERSTAND THINGS WHICH
WOULD TAKE ME HOURS TO READ IN BOOKS
AND THE ILLUSTRATIONS  ARE MUCH BETTER ." 
HE LET ME STAND IN FRONT OF HIM FOR TWO MINUTES ( THAT WAS VERY LONG ).
THEN HE STRETCHED HIS HOLY HAND OUT AND SAID TO ME
BE CAREFUL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

I ASKED FOR A BLESSING THAT I SHOULD HAVE A DESIRE FOR TORAH LEARNING
THE SAME AS I HAVE TO WATCH TELEVISION,
 HE BLESSED ME WITH THAT.
 THE BEIS YISROEL, WHEN YOU STOOD IN FRONT OF HIM, 
BECAME YOU AND UNDERSTOOD YOU.
EVEN THOUGH HE WAS FAR AWAY FROM YOUR BEHAVIOUR.
"THEY TREMBLED BEFORE HIM
YET THEY BEGGED TO BE ADMITTED INTO HIS PRESENCE."
