- Yoav was a gifted athlete, coaching boys and girls and training them to peak condition in preparation for military service. On 16 September 2011, Yoav was electrocuted by a high voltage line during a routine workout in the area of a seemingly harmless sand dune. He suffered severe burns all over his body. Hardly showing any sign of life, he was flown by helicopter to the hospital. He had little chance of surviving the night. But he came through it. Yoav has gone down as a medical miracle. His story, about the will to survive and how to cope with terrible suffering, is presented in a fascinating, moving, and hope-inspiring lecture. This is the story of a man who will make you think once again about your life. Yoav Asa, an informal educator, heads the national organization "Asa Oti Lohem" (Make Me a Fighter) which for more than twenty years has prepared high school students from various population sectors for meaningful military service in the elite units of the Israel Defence Force. He is one of the founders of the Lauro Association and its flagship program known as "Leadership". A life teacher and educator of thousands of boys and girls for the achievement of fulfillment, leadership, and love for their country, Yoav is married to Mor and father to Omer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

"When we're worried about ourselves it leads us to suffering, taking care of others leads us to freedom" This quote hit me hard!
AMAZING STORY
Amen.
whatever blah blah
@@JustinSgalio AMEN?
Yeah it lead me to ponder the situations I've overcome and why. It was always for love of another, selfless love.
Absolutely
One day I was at my chiropractor. A gentleman, older than me ,was seated in the waiting room with me. Tall, very athletic, serious countenance. Absolutely clearly out of the blue, the man turned to me and began speaking to me. Why? I had no clue…And this is what he told me:He was a military pilot during the Vietnam War. Shot down, he was close to death. And he had an NDE, though he did not call it that, he used some other term.And he began to describe the experience. What was most powerful to me was not the experience itself, but his countenance as a person. He had the demeanor of a very serious, no nonsense, military person. Perhaps, you know, maybe the absolute last person who you might think would believe in such things. And yet, there it was. The testimony of this person.And, without pride, without ego, simple, direct, matter of fact.And, he concluded by saying that after the experience, he felt that he was supposed to share the experience with others.I don’t know that I am conveying this well, in words. It was the power of the presence of the man, in person. I guess you might say that there was some spiritual light or spiritual power about him? Not sure exactly what or how to phrase that?May everyone be filled with the peace and love and joy and blessings of God!
YES YES YES
Wow! 👍👍👍👍✝
Amen
Bless you as well!
God has.purpose in life for you. That is why u survived.
you have vecome BIGGER INSPIRATION to others.
God bless you.
Your accident reminds me of my brother Ray, who was a Newton, MA firefighter USA...He was burned with Metallic Sodium which burns with water...He was burned 90 per cent of his body worse than acid and put in an induced coma for about 6 months...He was blinded, lost much of his hearing...disfigured but lived and after over a year of in the hospital, he was in and out to stretch his skin and operations... Ray, had an angel for a wife and lived for almost 30 years...Just this last year my younger brother Robin died of Cancer which he kept to himself until the end days....Ray, had a heart attack 10 weeks later, and died. Ray's, wife said Ray, could not get over losing my brother, Robin.....I understand your pain, as a family member...God be with you.. You look very handsome and strong...
hugs from a stranger. I feel your heart through these words...
GOD BLESS YOU AND LOVE YOU.
sending you love. losing those we love is a challenge like none other. Especially 2 so close together. For your own healing, reach out. Grief counselors and, even better, MAP practitioners (search for the MAP Method) can help a lot. Meanwhile, I know it's trite to say, but I believe it's absolutely true, you now have 2 loving brothers watching over you!
I am lying in the hospital for nearly 7 weeks now very ill from pancreatitis and I “randomly” found this TedTalk…I believe Gd sent this to me because I needed to hear Yoav’s message at this very moment! Thank you Yoav!!!! B”H!!!
Greetings from Czech . I have this experience, Three years ago, as a pedestrian, I was hit by an inattentive driver at a speed of 40 m/h, coma,tunnel light and when i after few days wake up, there is one thought-,, NEVER give up. We have just one chance.This life is a gift."After accident I couldn't write or speak.Learn everything again. A book came before two months and I read and write poetry. Faith in life, in people. Always think positively. ALWAYS.
Merry Christmas to ALL.
YOAV, just fighting though 2 strokes.. found you... thank you 😊 needed your strength of will to remember... NEVER GIVE UP. I shall continue with your strength of will and purpose. Thank you again 💓
I had to hear this. I asked for a solution to my own bitterness and frustration with life and you delivered the message. Thank you.
Imagine not having to go through any near death experience, trauma or even unpleasantness to glean this understanding 😊
There*Are* no" near death experiences(and how near is near?) Those claiming to have had near death experiences are*Lying*
If it*cannot be true it *Is* not true so they*Must* be lying.
They*Are* Lying Why are you elsies - the lower classes so credulous?
Serving others lead us to freedom! This is one of the most inspiring Ted Talks. thank you Yoav for your passion for spreading your message to the world. You are a miracle.
Serving others leads us to freedom.
SERVING OTHERS LEAD YOU TO FRUSTRATED CONFUSION COMPLETE.
Such an incredible story. People forget that electricity can jump. It's interesting that he ends with connecting service and healing. These two together can move mountains.
Very inspiring story. I need to get back to doing more charity work, and getting more involved with my community beyond my child's school.
I feel Yoav is a real miracle. He does not look like he had the most severe burns to his body. Wow. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you, Yoav Asa, for your unparalleled example of fortitude and selflessness. If we all took responsibility in a serious and loving way as you do, there wouldn't be starvation, ignorance, and warring disputes. You are an impressive role model for all.
This message hit me like a ton of bricks. What a message! Thank you so much! Peace and love ❤❤❤
They said you were a hero and now you are. Great job m8.
Hi. I'm here in Israel, too,
trying to overcome the result of these last few years of many kinds of severe stress. Your talk touched me and spoke to me. I think you were lucky in having so much loving support. After 50 years in Israel, I miss my U.S. family so much; with age (75) friends have all died or moved away or are themselves very sick.
I've been thorough many hard times, pulled through.
This time I am shaken to my core, as you were wonderfully frank and open to describe in your experience.
I agree 100% with everything you say; I think it will help me find the way. Toda raba. יישר כח
Of course I loved the very end of the talk, smiling through tears.
מעריכים מאוד את התגובה.
Hi my friend, I’m not sure why but your comment stood out to me. I’m praying for you to have health happiness and the feeling of connectivity and comfort. Isreal has caught my attention a lot lately, I am planing a trip to visit this year (from Canada). Sending love from one human to another.
Search for meaning... Viktor Frankl anyone? This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for being so charitable to others by simply doing what we are called to do: to love others! Brilliant!
i have never heard responsibility described as the ability to respond. that is very poignant and profound to me.
and when he talks about worrying about ourselves vs taking care of others - he is talking about selfishness vs servant leadership!
very excellent insights and i am grateful this video popped up in my feed.
I have never been so emotionally connected to this Ted Talk. He was truly amazing.
Love this, makes me realize how soft I’m being with my current temporary little condition. Thank you tons
Affinity Motors; Perspective IS a gift. I think you understand this.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I’m alone and your words meant more to me than you will never know.
I’ve been disabled for over 25 years. I am at the end of my rope.
I pray I will find the strength so once had.
God bless you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope there are days where you don’t feel like you are at the end of your rope my friend but instead that you have mastered and perfected your uniqueness. What would break most, can’t break you! Whatever is in your life you feel plagued by, I hope you know that you are beating it, you win.
Hang in there. Don’t give up. I to am alone with health problems. It’s hard but keep pushing yourself. You’ll get there . God bless you!!!
Wow he experienced true mastery. The human spirit can be so amazing overcoming the odds. Servicing something greater than yourself is really a good solution.
I love you Yoav. Thank you for inspiring us all
Glad i was here cause i watch NDE's. Now i know why all of a sudden when i was worried about myself, life took a turn and i had to think about someone else. It bothered me, but now i see how it helped me. Wow
Thank you for sharing your story Yoav. I can only imagine what you went through and I greatly admire your strength to push through and get to a point where you can continue helping others. I myself went through a dark time with brain cancer and am now beginning to share self-empowering tools with others. I am also going to speak at a Tedx in November, so watching this has definitely inspired me to continue with my journey just as you did. Thank you.
What do you suppose death to be if not thecomplet and final permanemtt cessation of allexpeiencing?
You see?-You have no more idea than the liars claiming to have had near death experiences which are*Impossible* you poor pathetic credulous Elsie.
How*" near"* is *"Near"*?
Powerful speech - touched my heart ❤️ and soul 🙏 thank you Yoav
There's still a lot of pain in ur voice, I'm on edge thinking u'll cry at any point. I thank God u made it. I hear ur words with my heart 💓
Thank you to you! You are really a Hero! You are fighting the reality in this world! 🍀💪🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yoav. You moved and inspired me greatly. To me you are a hero!
There is no greater accomplishment than serve others!
So incredibly inspiring. What a great guy!
Thank you 🙏🏼 Your words have inspired me to get out of bed, forget about the pain and remember how much I loved teaching yoga to everyone.
Helping to Empower others has always been my mission. Your courage reminds me of the purpose of life. Serve
absolutely incredible. truth and love. thank you.
Wow !!!! Super inspirational! God bless you! Thank you for sharing truth.
I've been on this earth for a long time and have learned a lot of things, but this talk moved me more deeply and woke up something inside me like few things have. I could never thank you enough, Yoav. My heart is pouring out love to you, as I prepare to heal and move forward with my life purpose. I will pass it on.
You moved me! Wish you the very best that life has to offer!
I watched this looking for an 'other side' NDE but having watched this I can say it is quite powerful message, inspirational.
Amazing testimony
God bless , Shalom
גיבור אמיתי. הרצאה מעוררת השראה, יישר כח יואב.
חבל שלא התייחס לבורא עולם.

Wow - I am blown away and in tears! Amazing story and delivery! ❤
One of the best Ted talks ever
Beautiful sharing. Thank you!
Beautiful soul . Thank you .
Just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
Thank you for inspiring me and others!
What a guy a real roam model. God bless you my friend
You mean "role" model.
Thank you sharing. You proved that what you teach is true and possible to realize it.
Great talk and an inspiring man. You GO Yoav.
Beautiful Story, Beautiful Man
The term "Near Death Experience" in this day and age has come to what happens when a person has clinically died and has experienced events "on the other side." Yoav certainly had a remarkable and searing experience and indeed, he almost died, but that's not what I thought when I tuned in to watch his "Near Death Experience." There is much that is inspirational, much to respect and admire in his journey; but what saddens me is that all of his extraordinary gifts and lessons are being harnessed to support the military, to prepare youngsters for war. What a force of good he could be in his country and in the world if he would apply these same values and strengths to develop soldiers for peace.
Well said!
Peace will not save Israel. A good army and god's help will.
@@hasamod41 If peace will not save them, then they are already doomed. Peace is the only answer.
Youav you are amazing.
That was the best speech I have ever heard.
I want to meet you when I come to Israel next year
Not an NDE , just talking about his accident. But God bless him for sharing his story anyway.
What an inspiring story!! Salute you Yoav...Glad that you lived not only tell your experience but to inspire countless people who have and are losing hope after Covid..
What a profound and inspirational message. Thank you for sharing your story.
A brave and good person. He offers an affirmation of strength.
Why is it we have to be confronted with an experience like this to become a better person? Incredible story.
Is it not obvious to you that those claiming to have had " near"(and how near is" near?) death experiences are*Lying*?
If it *Cannot* be true it can *Only* be a lie
This is the most powerful thing I have ever watched 😲😲😲
What valuable lessons I just learned.
What a powerful and memorable speech. It brings things into perspective and makes me want to be a better person.
Better" being what crazed preconception?By" better do you mean not being an half-witted credulous imbecilethat cannot detect an obvious liar when you encounter one?
Beter or more good by what criterion?Good can only possibly be be likable and in what respect are those that believe what they *want* to believe or*liars* likable?You want to be a better liar. Bavo, you are sh1t at lying of not as bad at lying as those claiming to have had "near"(and how " near"?) death experiences who can*Only* be lying. not only do men(human beings dream all-the-time, they*lie* all-they time which is what they cannot tell truth from lies.
Exacly how"near" is a " near"?Aak that simple question and the entire near death experience fraud falls topieces and is exposed as the pack of lies it is.
What an inspirational talk and great speaker!🙏🏻🥰
A great *Liar*
what an amazing man and story. u are a a hero.
Thank you very much for this very inspiring talk. I’ve been experiencing so much pains with so many illnesses. Thank you and Gid bless you and your family.
אסא פשוט כיף לשמוע אותך , כמה נתת מעצמך.
Thank you for sharing ,opened my mind.God Bless You
Supremely magnificent. Thank you for your love and inspiration💗.
I love you man. You are true to me.❤️
Wow! Very powerful. Thanks for sharing!
When I was dying my life flashed before my eyes, and it was all reruns.
Very uplifting talk! Right from the Heart. Thank you. You made my day.
Fantastic! Thank you!
Awesome. This spoke into my life deeply.
Amazing and Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom 🙏
For"your experience and wisdom" read *obvious lies*.
What an excellent speaker and awesome message!
He is a very anle pathological *Liar*- a complete fraud
accepting where you are and what you can do from there. it’s going to work, i think. i’m depressed and very anxious. don’t fight it. accept it! so simple! fit then outside reality with yourself. accept responsibility and one thing, next day two things. next is a very hard step - get out of the house and work at volunteering. (believe it or not, it’s very difficult to find a place to volunteer in New York City. too many people already volunteering!) so this is actually a hard job, which is totally ridiculous!
right now, watch the rest.
the emotional depth of this man is so real, so dynamic. his personal connection with others must be so poignant. thank you so, so much 🌷🌱
Wow! What a truly impressive human being.
An ace liar and conman of the first water.
You have a Beautiful Soul. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Wow- amazing life-changing message and what a beautiful human being
I needed to hear this today! Thank you!
amazing and inspiring story! thank you
Amazing message. Thank you!
You are a true hero, God bless you
So inspiring! Thank you!!
מדהים ! בנאדם מדהים
Im thankful I'm still capable of leaving a comment. I had an incident in the Gulf Of Mexico. I was swimming at the beach, being careful to stay close enough to shore that i could touch the sandy bottom. I was getting tired, so I put my feet down, but the sand had disappeared. The water carried me out further than i realized. I kicked for my life to try to get back to shore, but my strength was gone. Water was crashing over my head as my limbs lost their ability to move. As I was slipping under the water, a girl on a boogie board saved me. I couldn't even help paddle back to shore because I was spent. I've never gone that far from shore ever again. I won't. Life is too easy to extinguish.
His event was epic...I listen to this situation the words he speaks are like music.. a poem
He is*L-y-i-n-g* He can *Only_possibly* be lying you poor credulous Elsie.
In short, he *Lies* and the queer thing is that deep down in you heart of hearts you know*For-a-certainty* that he is lying, don't uou?
You-ARE-TRULY-INSPIRATIONAL !!
I am a medium that connects people to their departed loved ones in the Spirit world. I find this talk interesting because I know that the other side has much to teach us. In my experience, working with Spirit has been a gift and I have no doubt that NDE are similar in revealing sacred insights. Thanks, Yoav!
My husband Chris died 4.5 months ago. I wish more than anything he is with me and that I will see him again. Do you have to see a picture to communicate to a spirit? I in unbearable pain.
@@courtneycoley8487 I am sorry for your loss. No, I do not need a photo. I wish you all the best.
You are a*Liar*
Great story. Thanks for telling it. x
Thank you !
God bless you more!
That was a beautiful story thank you so much for sharing it I’m struggling with my mother who is 72 years old I’ve had a lot of childhood trauma through my father and my mother had a lot of responsibility keeping us there and not removing us and now my mother is in need of care and I’m still struggling in therapy to make sense of all of this and have recently been diagnosed with PTSD it’s so difficult I feel like if my father and my mother would’ve said they were sorry or took accountability somehow this would all go away but I never got either of those and I feel very victimized by conversations she has with me every time we talk but inherently in my heart she’s my mother and I want to try and help her your story helped me what you said about doing for others that sets you free I pray it affords me the freedom that I’ve long for from the pain that I’ve endured from my parents that to this day I still love. God bless you I’m so glad you’re OK❤️❤️🙏
Your parents couldn't do better. What they did is not because of meanness or lack of love. They were in their own trauma. It's so hard to accept because as children we expect our parents to be better, but they're just flawed human being like you and me. If you can step out of the situation and try to see it not as their child but as an objective bystander it will ease the pain. I know it's so hard, I've been there. Wishing you all the best ❤
Well yeah you can serve others but I would be selective about who I serve. Especially people who have harmed you so badly and still continue doing so. Maybe your mother needs to reap what she sowed. You’ve already forgiven her in your heart but that doesn’t mean you have to give up your own time and freedom and sanity to help her, subjecting yourself to more verbal abuse.
Let her pay for the care she needs. Take care of yourself right now.
By the way look into stellate ganglion block to set you free from the PTSD. But you can’t let yourself be around triggers like your mother.
If I read this right you got PTSD partially because of your parents. So you can forgive them in your heart but it’s not healthy for you to continue being around people and events that trigger the PTSD. You can serve others but be selective about who you serve. May God bless you and I hope you recover from the PTSD.
two words Yoav.
thank you ✊
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful. Such powerful storytelling it an amazing life. 💕🌈🦋
powerful*Lying* is all.
Thank you so much
