available for purchase right outside in the lobby. I did receive my copy personally from Nachi uh last year. It's a book that Nachi compiled together with Yisroel Besser, the renowned writer. And it's called Meaningful Minutes or Messages of Inspiration and Hope to Uplift and Illuminate Your Day. I so I was taking a peek the other day and I said, "Who do you think is going to be quoted more often than anybody else throughout the pages of this book?" And of course it comes as no surprise that's none other than tonight's speaker. So I thought flipping through the pages, perhaps I can find and I'm sure I would a an uplifting and inspirational message. And that would be apropos to introducing uh the illustrious uh very special Rabbi YY Jacobson. So I turned to page 30 and I'd like to share with you the following. The flames of the menorah a perfect row of lights are magnificent. But then there is the shamash just a little higher in a row all by itself. If a person devotes his life to self-enhancement, to self-perfection, to growth, that's wonderful. That's admirable. But it's not what will ultimately allow him to reach his greatest heights. When a person becomes a shamash when he dedicates his life to helping others give light, to become a conduit for light and love and hope, then he empowers and inspires others, then indeed he is living higher. To dream alone is awesome, but to help others realize their dreams is even greater because you don't only bring out the best in them. You bring out the best in yourself. Who penned these fantastic words and none other than I going to arrive for Rabbi YY Jacobson, shlita. And Roy had the former mission arm wrong
