IT MADE ME CRY

It was fantastic just like other videos! You all are great!

(63) esther , September 27, 2009

every time i either listen to charlie harary at national yarchei kallah (ncsy), watch his videos, or anything, i am so inspired. his words always touch my life. what an inspiring and special person...

(62) Esther , September 27, 2009

Wow! Thank you so much! This is AMAZING. I was so scared of yom kippur that I completely blocked it out of my mind. I've got so much bad baggage from this year and I just felt that god hates me for what i did and he's not interested in hearing from me. But i will drop my bags and jump onto the train. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

(61) debbie , September 27, 2009

stunning

i don't know whether to cry with relief or jump for joy. that was something I so needed to hear this erev yom kippur! thank you

YK is no guilt-trip

That sounds reassuring that Yom Kippur is no guilt trip - it is more about moving forward than dwelling on the past, especially with such materialism and other minutia. This is why Hashem loves us and that He gives us an opportunity to let go of the material and emotional baggage we have been carrying for so long. Thus, why live in self-pity and dwell on the past when one can move forward constructively? It just can be a challenge not to let go, because we think we have not yet fixed all our past problems, however YK certainly gives us a day or opportunity to move on...As for the vows, that can still be important so as long as it stipulates the Torah, especially when it comes to Jews marrying Jewish. All in all, we express constructive regret and move on from our material and emotional baggage.

Excellent movie, it was captivating, funny, and expressed such truth.

Excellent movie, it was captivating, funny, and expressed such truth. I happen to agree with the previous comment that leaving the end quiet would allow for further contemplation rather than the light trumpet jingle which switched the mood back to light and non-chalant.

Ispired!

I was discussing the signigcance of Kol Nidrei with my study partner last week and I don't think I was giving her the complete picture of this special prayer. Thank you so much for inspring me, hopefully inspiring her and the excellent and very 'moving' message. Gmar Chasima Tova

SEE YOU ALL ONTHE TRAIN!

This was amazing and has changed my whole outlook on Yom Kippur :)

this was amazing, thank you

(54) Sam , September 25, 2009

Spot on

wow... very inspiring film. got me motivated to put down the computer and learn Torah... a small but important note to the people who made the video... I don't think you should have included the sound clip of trumpet at the end ... silence would have been much more appropriate for this situation, leaving the viewer in contemplation. It totally changed the mood at the end. besides that it was very good

(53) ANON , September 25, 2009

so inspirational!!!

thank you, that was so inspiring and will help me this yom kippur!!

(52) Moshe , September 25, 2009

This video is a true eye-opener. It is something we don't always think about, but yet it is very important. Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation.! Gemar Chasima Tova

(50) Anonymous , September 25, 2009

brought me to tears

This video was amazing and spoke straight to my neshama. I know I will have a better yom kippur because of it. I am about to email it to as many friends as possible to help inspire their neshamas in preperation for yom kippur as well.

(49) LC of Israel , September 25, 2009

Makes you understand spirituality!

Thank you so much for such a great explaination - this is the first time I can actually relate to the meaning of Yom Kippur from a spiritual point of view! Keep up the great productions!

(48) Yehudah Lowy , September 25, 2009

Inspiring

This is an amazing video. Sometimes when a person speaks on a video, it is 1-dimensional. This video is 3 dimensional ! Often I think in terms of material to show my classes, and I will show them this, but it was also important for me to see it. G'mar Chasima Tova ! --

(47) Lyone , September 25, 2009

Wow

That was great. Thank you so much. This is just the right pep talk for this week.

(41) ANON , September 24, 2009

I loved your presentation and used some of the ideas in my classroom. i made every girl a mini suitcase and a list of common restrictions(about 20) each girl cut out whichever applied to her and put it in a pocket i called 'baggage claim' thank you for an unbelievable inspiring video!!

(38) Mike Levy , September 24, 2009

Totally motivating!

There are a lot of Jews out there who say, it's not for me.....and when I invite them to go to shul with me, they're not interested. The question is, how do we get to these apathetic Jews in order to get them back on the rails? Even if it is with just a little baggage. Maybe they need to take a little baggage with them in the initial stages which may make it seem easier to jump on the train and remain there. They will then see that the baggage is no longer needed.

(37) Bonnie , September 24, 2009

Eliyahu, Another fantastic job! Charlie is great but you make him look even better.

(36) Esther , September 24, 2009

Excellent Analogy About Self Restriction and the Train

I was revited to see how the video would develop. The message was a clear call to action. He challenged and comforted the audience at the same time. You've given my Yom Kippur davening a kick start.

(35) Frankie , September 24, 2009

This is one of the most meaningful videos I have seen. Thank you. I have dropped my bags.

(33) ShmuelsMom , September 24, 2009

AWESOME

I was watching this video when my 6 year old son(who by the way LOVES trains) sat down to watch with me. He was hooked! and so was I !! After I asked him what do you think the message was here. He said"Don't make mountains out of molehills." and "If you move to slow you wont catch the train." I explained what the bags represented to us. We have now watched it 3 times!!! Something I thought was just going to be a great video for me ended up being a beautiful change to share GOD's love with my son!!! Thank you!!!!

(32) Dena , September 24, 2009

So inspiring and motivating!

Amazing job!! This video will change my Yom Kippur! What a z'chus you have to help so many people before such an important day. Thank you so much!!!

(27) ANON , September 24, 2009

This is hit the spot.

This is such an amazing video. It came at the right time for me and my family. We have been having issues with the I IDon't Want to Look Like That idea. Clothing has been an issue and we've been afraid to look like someone else. But it is time to drop our bags and get on the train and work from the outside in. Thanks for the inspiration

(26) shoshana , September 24, 2009

that was really good, and i liked that explanation of kol nedrei. i wish he would do a lot more viedos i really like his style, it is very captivating

(25) Gini Retka , September 24, 2009

This concept of restriction of self=vows will change Kol Nidrei for me....possibly Yom Kippur,possibly more after that. Thank you......

Right to the point

Charlie Harary does it again! How does he get us to WANT to fast on Yom Kippur?! Let's take his advice and go for the closest relationship with Hashem we can have.

(14) Rosemary , September 23, 2009

Great Metaphor!

This video was so helpful to me in terms of actually getting excited for YK. I've been observant almost 18 years and this is the first time I have heard anyone explain KN and its pre-eminance. I really connected with the message -- and the metaphor. Everyone should get their friends to see this. Thank you so much!
