00:00:00.051 --> 00:00:04.103
Last night I met a man
who was a terrorist.
2
00:00:04.128 --> 00:00:06.785
He sat in an Israeli jail.
He did attacks.
3
00:00:07.094 --> 00:00:09.814
And he talked about
how he changed.
4
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.247
And interesting, he started
having a lot of questions about
5
00:00:13.272 --> 00:00:15.615
what he was hearing from his shikh.
6
00:00:15.832 --> 00:00:17.515
He said there's one
year there was Ramadan
7
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:19.007
and he was very much praying,
8
00:00:19.032 --> 00:00:21.189
"God I don't know what's right.
Tell me what's the right way.
9
00:00:21.214 --> 00:00:24.869
What is your path?" And one
morning he said he woke up
10
00:00:24.894 --> 00:00:26.404
he didn't feel like doing anything
11
00:00:26.429 --> 00:00:28.903
he didn't feel like praying
didn't feel like anything he says.
12
00:00:29.353 --> 00:00:31.106
He turned on the TV.
13
00:00:31.562 --> 00:00:33.618
And he turned onto a channel
where there was a teaching
14
00:00:33.643 --> 00:00:38.628
and speaking about something about
love, about Islam.
15
00:00:38.918 --> 00:00:40.283
And it changed him.
16
00:00:40.308 --> 00:00:42.369
He called the person and then called the phone number, got in touch.
17
00:00:42.394 --> 00:00:43.926
It changed him.
18
00:00:43.951 --> 00:00:46.830
So there's that little space
where you don't know what to do.
19
00:00:47.355 --> 00:00:49.509
And that's really what,
that's what prayer is,
20
00:00:49.534 --> 00:00:52.406
when you recognise you don't know
what to do. So you have to pray.
21
00:00:52.431 --> 00:00:54.258
So our Torah tells
us three times a day,
22
00:00:54.283 --> 00:00:56.710
remember,
you don't know what to do at least.
23
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.770
And you're doing this and you think
this is the path maybe that's the path.
24
00:01:00.062 --> 00:01:02.918
And so that's I think
important in the work also
25
00:01:02.943 --> 00:01:06.704
to not get stuck,
to constantly be thinking about how
26
00:01:06.729 --> 00:01:09.183
how things could go differently,
how things look from the other side.
27
00:01:09.208 --> 00:01:11.135
So those are religious
messages from me that I get.
28
00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:12.912
You know religion challenges me to think
29
00:01:12.937 --> 00:01:14.984
how does this look not from
your perspective
30
00:01:15.476 --> 00:01:17.571
and what does God see
and what does the other person sees.
