1:49 Thank you very much. If the Rav would agree to sit here... If the Rav would agree to sit here, it would make me very happy. - With the permission of the whole holy and honored congregation, my masters and teachers, and Rabbi Chizki Refael the tzaddik, may the Holy One, blessed be He, gladden you, that you have nachas and that you have joy.
2:41 And how much one can learn and see from his character traits, just to look at him and see how much he strengthens, and how much he lifts everyone's eyes to Heaven, and how he gladdens the Jewish people. There are no words that can describe or imagine it, only 'Tree, tree, with what shall I bless you?'
3:08 I can only bless with an ordinary person's blessing: that Hashem, blessed be He, gladden his father, Rabbi Betzalel the tzaddik, and gladden Rabbi Chizkiyahu Refael, and that Hashem, blessed be He, strengthen him, and give him strength and give him health, and give him hope and joy, and that he continue to gladden all the Jewish people, and that everything go easily for you, and that you have siman tov and mazal tov, and that all the blessings said in the Torah, in Scripture and in the Mishnah be fulfilled in you...
3:54 With your permission, my masters - l'chaim! Blessed are You, Hashem our G-d, King of the universe, Who creates the fruit of the vine. - With the permission of the Rav HaYanuka, shlita, and with the permission of the ushpizin, and with the permission of Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Friedman, and with the permission of everyone here, I want to say a few words.
5:34 I feel that this really comes from the heart: to thank the Holy One, blessed be He, that after thirteen years of, day after day, seeing the hand of Hashem day after day, hour after hour... Back then, when I was still small, the doctors gave no chance at all that I would survive the illness.
6:11 The doctors spoke of a matter of days, weeks, and at most months, and not beyond... Just as every Jew can sense the hand of Hashem, and we feel it, but with me in particular, I see every day how the Holy One, blessed be He, arranges things.

6:41 Today, looking back - thirteen years ago - I see that the Holy One, blessed be He, exactly... As they say, when you see the puzzle from above, then you see how exactly here this happened, here that happened; it is all one big story that the Holy One, blessed be He, made, full, full of kindnesses, and above the way of nature, so it fits together exactly.
7:23 Baruch Hashem, today we merit to give thanks to Hashem among the people and in a large congregation. All the doctors who played down the chances that I would live now see that the palace has a Master. I wanted to thank the Holy One, blessed be He, that He let me merit to reach this point, and the ushpizin who joined, and the Rav HaYanuka who came and joined the celebration.
7:59 And now I also saw that Rabbi Pomerantz has come; I wanted to thank him publicly, and Rabbi Brandsdorfer and all those with him, and also Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Friedman. May Hashem grant them abundant blessing and success, and health and ample livelihood, and all good bounty.
