Hi
This took place in Itchkes Shtiebel.
wow
sitting at home at 2 am, cant sleep, got on line to see the latest, been watching this for the last hour.
inspiring, emotional & touching.
Rabbi Yossi Paltiel, you a gem, the light in a dark room. the hope and guidance in a lost world we live in,
your thoughts your feelings that you share we take to heart,
Your suggestion of greeting a stranger, a loner, someone who many dont care about who dont look at, and are unconcerning for, is powerful,
in the beginning of your speech you needed to whip your eyes, that touched me, your sincerity your honesty and realism moved me,
however your suggestion gave me the need to grab my own tissue, (much needed). I see it on 2 levels, When was the last time I was nice to a total stranger, a smile a good morning a comforting word, perhaps assistance as needed, when was the last time I stopped pulled myself away from my phone from my self-centeredness and looked at others, those that yearn for attention because of their loneliness, and the feeling of why others dont pay attention to me in my own loneliness,
How sad but true, You Yossi had the courage to stand by the podium and express this in a strong way, with confidence and chassidishkeit.
many thoughts and words are here at the moment, but one I shall share with you…..
THANK YOU YOSSI
Didn't watch the video yet
Coming to Kan Tzivah after being away for many years, I was greeted by a young woman with a hearty “Gut Shabbos” on my way to 770. I answered her, confused as to whom she was mixing me up with. But then another, and yet another lady and girl greeted me and it hit me that this was a new and heartwarming practice. Since than I’ve been back many times and practice it myself in my mokom Shlichus and Crown Heights. Thanks to whoever initiated this.
Moshiach NOW
