Chanukah: The Answer You Never Heard Before To The Beis Yosef's Question

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning rabbi i'm going to have shabbos we uh in the last year we mentioned that the most famous gemara the most well-known gemara is hanukkah so we have to learn it again so the gemara says of course hanukkah what is hanukkah the tone of cafe because shaman by the way rebecca vegas says and we mentioned last year the question of shout situation kahuna and that is how do we know the evanim defiled all the shaman in the well we saw them touch everyone now presumably we have to assume they defiled each one me suffic but the question is since the heihal has the status of vishwasarabhan suffolk to remember him so you have to remember what we said last year lucille what do you need a steal for it prevailed and it lasted for eighties so i'm gonna ask you a question not the question yet but this is a very important question the question we have to really think about the oil was sealed with the seal of the kaingano rabbi's side does anybody know who lights the monaro no any kind to light the menaria any kind collider didn't have to it could be any kind it could be a rappaport it could be a cohen it could be cats it could be mesa any kind any coin could so why in the world would a cayenne godow seal oil with his signet for what why would he do such a thing they think that this i think the coin god had time for cassius they don't have time for that i guarantee you're kind of didn't have time what's the kind of doing sealing of flask of oil the torah says it got to be a special world right yeah so he decided he was going to do it and prepare it because you know why would they kind of any every cayenne it's kosher of any kind they took turns well any kind could have done it you don't need to first of all you don't need the kind goggle to to uh light it and you also certainly don't need a kangaroo to seal the oil what do you steal it for but he's got priority doesn't it yeah he could do whatever he wants correct but why would he make a personal stash of olive oil for what it's not a personal size what are you doing for for that purpose and it's why this is not something that he necessarily would do why would he that was for a salad dressing he didn't want us to use it no no now we're talking okay and then of course we come to perhaps the most famous question in all of jewish literature the cash of the basic icing why are we starting eight right if they found enough oil to last for one day and it lasted for eight days so how many days of miracles were there seven days so you should have hanukkah for only seven seven days right that's the basis of kasha look take a look this is the basilisk and tough race why because we want to make sure we only we only celebrate the miracle and we don't celebrate what audiences celebrate for 17 days i mean well we're celebrating today so what do you think after the victory the seventh of the seventh so you want to answer the question good i'm telling you the question right the question says why did they establish eight days the kivan the shaman shall pass so they're only seven days of miracle that's the cash of they say so the first uh let's just speak out the three answers the three famous answers of the basis of answer number one they took the one day oil they divided it into eight so every day was a miracle because one eighth of oil which should have lasted instead of 24 hours we're told at three the second answer after they put the oil into the menorah the jug was still full so the nace was recognizable even on the first day so on that on the first on the first answer you could ask why would they divide into eight in san francis on the second answer you could ask on the eighth night the jug did not remain full right why because they didn't need it for the night then we would have nine days if we kept going no we we only needed it for eight days so if we only need it for eight days on the eighth night when they poured it into the flag it didn't stay full so it didn't stay full so why would we celebrate the eighth day and the third answer is they poured the whole thing into the nare into the holder and after the end of the first day it remained full and it burned the whole night so they found it full so there was a miracle even on the first night because on the first night it remained completely full yeah but on the eighth night it didn't remain completely full so then there's no miracle on the eighth day so these are the answers of the basicif what i'm here to point out is that everybody gives credit to the basilica for this kasha right everybody knows this is the famous question of the basic right if you ask anybody who but what's the famous kashan the kasha of the best person i want to point out that he wasn't the first to ask this question okay he's not the first one [Music] right that they said lived 1488 to 1575 of the common era right are you going to continue doing this no it's a yeah yeah well you don't like that very good so the basis the biceps they've lived 1488 to 1575 i'm only putting the secular dates so that's you know that's what we're familiar with but the meiri may we live more than 200 years before the base if you could look on your sheet of number three he asked this question also he asked the first night there was no miracle so he says we make a rock for finding the oil or for the redemption and it's brought down and there's the safer that brings a hundred answers to the basics of he brings down that even though everyone credits the basics if the meteorite was the first person to ask this question i can't believe that they wouldn't have asked this question this question ready so i would just point out that he wasn't the first person to ask this question either 11 10 more than 100 years before the he already asked this question okay that's just a side point i want to tell you one of the simplest answers to the question of the day safe and that is the gersa of the sheltes the shot this was written by rabbi yahweh i'll tell you something amazing about the shelters you know if you look in the rambam in the rama lists the chain of messiah going from maisha bainu until the yamarama but if you look in the meiri's introduction to turkey always he traces it back all the way to his time and he puts in the line of messiah rabbi and he writes that rabbi wrote something called shaltus is until the time of going people wrote halakhas based on the order of the day the rambam he groups together different categories of halacha you have the based on the said the sheltes was the first person to write halakhas yeah he doesn't ask the question but the i thought the the the appalachian garden for him in his times it was considered very modern to write halakhas on the parasyas it was a very novel idea and he was a innovator and why did he make this innovation he says had a son shalom and he had to come up with some kind of means of education how's he going to educate his kid the regular system wasn't working so instead of writing halacha it's based on the word of the day he made it more interesting he made it the halachas on the parishion okay so you see an important lesson from here that what is the correct way to educate your kid whatever works right what works yeah but but it wasn't done we don't do it this way well sometimes you have to be a little creative to what works for the kid yeah we see that from rebecca going in the event what example is that given how's that no because until his time nobody wrote halacha was based on the parachutes that was like a novel idea but any event has a very interesting gersta of agamar the gemara said that girls is they didn't have enough oil to last even for one day so we say according to the shelters the question doesn't begin oh they had enough oil for one day no they didn't they didn't so that that would be a simple answer question but it makes things worse why would a kain god but the gomorrah doesn't say that no so that was his girlfriend dallas's garrison the gemara panel he has a different just just think about that for a moment because this cayenne goddess did something completely unnecessary he took oil he put a seal on it so at least do me a favor put in enough oil for one day you go through the trouble of sealing it and it's not it's it's a kosher cashew contour all the deals every shita so at least do me a favor put enough oil to last for one day you're giving the cashews on it it's not even good for one day what was the culinary doing what was he doing for what purpose well because because maybe um i mean the uh you run him destroyed everything else and he was filling up his things and doing the job and this is this is oh and we have one it's got only he wasn't doing it haphazard if he went through the trouble of putting his seal on it and it made sure it was kosher lemonaire which is you need very special oil the first drop of the oil right but he only had it and he sealed it that means apparently he wants it to be used so it wants it to be used it can't be used not enough oil wouldn't be a better answer because now if you don't have enough even for one day and you use it now the first day is also a miracle yeah exactly right right we answered the basics question the only thing is the calendar was not uh not operating on all cylinders according to this well what's he doing very nice you're answering this voice of kasha i have another 99 answers today says of kasha but now what was it first of all why'd the kangaroo seal it and number two why would he put in not enough for one night i have a radical approach yeah which after depending on the shield maybe we go that way but this seal was not the corner seal this was a mullet that a kurdish burfu sent and put this oil in this pot and did it specifically so we should have the nace and put the seal of the coin girdle so we should be sure to use this even though we didn't need it so that's it forgery it's a forged mouth that's a lot i don't know matter i'm not in the i'm not on the level to say such big conduction all the time okay so everybody say listen to this listen to this the record here there's a question um there's a say from assaf the shabbos called the shabbos show me and so the safer shabbos show me comments he says gadolin did not seal oil for the maniro so why this kainga sell oil for the mara oh because baruch hakaida she saw the jews would need oil when the iranian come in so he should have made eight drugs veewari sakura died to but if he didn't have this foresight why would he steal even one in other words why would a cayenne godow steal oil if he had an inkling what was about to happen and he know of new barracudas we would need eight days let him make eight otherwise he shouldn't have made any how do we also says how do we know that um that it wasn't done as a for what why would a coin go though that's like you going to the store and he said give me peach snapple oh we have peach snapple sealed with the seal of the cayenne goddam why would a cutting goggle seal peach snapple for what you just gotta be certified to be yeah it has to be kosher that's why you have the okay and the okay certifies it at kosher but you don't need rebel yoshif to certify your your peach snap snapple that it's kosher so the same way you don't need for your food you don't need for the vanilla i'm not just kosher any kind why would a kangaroo seal a jug of oil so he quotes from okay rubber fall he says an amazing thing there's only one carbon that a kangado brings he brings half in the morning half in the evening does anybody know how much oil the manhattan needs three lug do we look that could a regular cayenne bring no only the kind of anybody know how many narrows are in the menira seven how much oil does each nair need three this jug that was sealed by kangadang was not sealed by the kalinov for the manoira you don't need the oil of a cutting for the mania you know you do need the oil of the kangada for the man that's why he sealed it but the problem was what there wasn't enough for one so why did he do it he didn't do it for them he did it for his karma why wasn't there why was there three and a half not three no in the jog of the kangado there were three look for the menorah no for the monaro you need three and a half for the cavity you need three there wasn't enough for them so there wasn't enough even for one night we asked why would the client go doll seal the answers did for himself why would he do not enough for one night because he wasn't doing it for them now he's looking for his carbon for his carbon that's enough so it says remember fellaini so that the regular kahanan don't use this oil for their purposes how much was each jug of the kangado three otherwise why would a kangaroo see all davka a little bit less than you need answers he's not doing it for them now he's doing it for himself we didn't answer but it still doesn't address the issue with they don't need this special oil right because you could do that we're not dealing with that question this year we were dealing with the question why would a cayenne doll steal oil because the manari could be lit in by any cayenne the answer is he wasn't sealing it for the menorah he was selling it for his personal carbon that was brought from his his property and now we understand the gersa how big was each jug the jug of the kangado three log and how much do you need for them you needed what three and a half years ago and the best yosef and the safer oh they had a different gear yeah they hold for i mean it's a legitimate reason why you know they're dealing with their their gear son of gemara that they had enough for one night but we were trying to explain what would the explanation be of the sheltes that they didn't have enough even for one night why would you have a sealed jug not even enough for one night what did they have in mind listen to what they were planning how much oil do they have three look in three look how many knights could they light less than one less than one gonna eat three and a half of one they needed three and a half right so what they had in mind is they could have done six nights and as they're performing the miracles as they're performing the miracle what happened they pour the oil which was not even enough for one night and all of a sudden what that half a lug that half a lug even a little bit of oil filled up the half a look of the menara they were able to fill up the homonyra and it only took up what it took up less even than a half a look it took up less even than if you take a look and look at number eight this is the answer that brings down in the safer yosef oimetz sim ilama baze in the name of the pane arie sahara non-resv [Music] you could use a lower grade oil you could use uh you could use regular oil you don't need you don't need the first draft causes the kasha menorah and that jug was three look and the miracle happened that they even though they didn't even have enough for one night it was able to last for all eight days so it's brought down you know the priesthood asks on the eighth night you didn't need the jug to fill up again because once they poured into monarch the monarchs full you don't need the jug to fill up so according to this answer you could say they did they needed the jug to fill up so that the next day over the years you see many different answers to the basis of kasha i believe this is a new answer that maybe we're not familiar with that first of all we asked why would a cayenne gadol seal oil second of all we asked what's shot in the gyros of the shortest that there wasn't even enough for one night the answer is according to the according to me i don't remember who wrote it and and according to rubber rafale shaya zulai this was the oil for the manhattan which required three logs which required three lug did they bring this in the first day probably not no well everything stopped in the basement right everything's happened but but this is the oil they didn't even have enough for the first night because for the first time you need three and a half and not three and a miracle happened and it lasted for eight days and that's what we're doing here today alfredo good job you've just experienced another
