[Music] foreign can you picture the scene over a thousand people standing outside in the rain by a leviatha without reacting to the weather as if they have no idea what's coming down because they just realize what went up they just realized who did we just lose and the tears and the crying it wasn't just the tears and the cry over the loss of a rabbi of our community no no those were different tears those were the tears those were the crying and the emotions of a people who just lost a father they loved just lost a grandfather he was everybody's father everybody's grandfather and rabotai opened your hearts because right after when the aron began to move down that block and the people slowly walk behind the great they started to tell the stories and you walked in between the people and you started to listen to the stories and what was amazing to me is nobody told over the same story every person had something personal his own story a story that happened to him on a personal level his tsara his problem his family and how his father showed up at the door at the time we needed him most everybody was telling their own stories and i stopped for a minute and i realized i said to myself this is amazing there is an undertone there is a calling there was a scream quietly if you listened well there was a scream amongst the crowd and the people were screaming to hameli eli eli lamazavtani what am i going to do without you now
