microphone out of there if you like I'm used to speaking on Saturdays when I can't use a mic it's a real honor it's a real PR privilege to be here i' like to thank the town the Springfield Township for inviting me and especially Deputy Mayor Harris laer for the invitation so true honor we've recently studied in the Torah about the stories of Joseph we learn about Joseph that he has a dream in his dream he's standing out inside the field with all his brothers and they're Gathering a bunch of wheat bundles and Joseph and the Joseph turns to his brothers or your wheat bundles bow down to me later on Joseph turns to his brothers he says I had another dream says in my dream where I'm standing outside and the 11 stars and the Sun and the Moon all bow down towards me a rabis taught us that from yosa simple dreams we learn four important lessons number one is we see yose's dreams out in the field right which is just Gathering wheat representing his home and the and the Sun and the Moon which represents spiritualities know the heavens they were all the same and ysph went up from something physical to something spiritual additionally ysep was out on the field Gathering wheat which teaches us an important lesson of always to be active on top of that he was putting bundles together which means y's ideal was gathering separate sheets SE separate pieces of Wheats and making them a bundle making them a community and the last thing is after the k a bundle the 11 bundles of Wheats bowed down towards yoseph they had the level of humility and here we pray to to the god of Abraham to the god of yak and the god of yov that our new townships should follow the ideals of yosef's number one is that they should always continue to build on on what they've done in the previous year as chis Weber said so nicely last year was a good year but this year should be even better right we went from y similar to yosef's dream we went from just something physical to something spiritual should always grow in what we have done on top of that like to ask God to bless our Township committee that they should have the energy to go out into the field that they should be active in what they're doing and more than that as they said before that this is not a red town or a blue town this is a purple town they should unite all of us together become one big bundle and most importantly after we become great we really pray towards God that they should all have the proper humility of bowing down thank you [Applause] all right uh Mr Mayor before I make the motion to adjourn I want to invite everybody to Chisum uh Community Center there will be a reception for everybody uh there will be food drink and we celebrate the mayor and everybody up here um and now the moment everybody has been
