everyone we have a very we have a
historic share
tonight welcome
everybody tonight's sh we're continuing
the are generously sponsored by Dr
Z
whose yard side
was tonight Che is dedicated by my dear
friend R ABI rabi tman in honor of his
father's yard site which is this evening
tonight be
family tonight sh is also dedicated
anonymously
by my friend in is okay we have very
good news first of all if you don't have
your ha yet it's available right here in
English uh it it came out last year but
even if you got it last year you
probably lost it already so it's
available again over here and uh if you
want to get a safer on and P it's also
available it was republished today in AR
Israel it's on the plane so uh
some more copies are on its
way okay we have a very important share
tonight usually we speak about
in we speak about the par we speak about
up I think this is the first time I'm
giving a Shear on the topic of a solar
eclipse or any type of eclipse in
general we know that
upcoming April 8th Ares Nissan
on Monday there's going to be a solar
eclipse starting in Mexico making its
way North through the United States and
into Canada so there's going to be
totality Over Texas Arkansas Kentucky
Indiana Pennsylvania Vermont Maine and
in New York you could go to Syracuse you
could go to Buffalo where else could you
go you could go to
Rochester Lake Placid people Lake Placid
okay there you go Lake Placid and in
Canada there you could see the entire
Eclipse but even in New York City you're
going to be able to see a good chunk of
the eclipse it's going to get somewhat
dark for about 2 hours and the question
is what does this mean for us what does
it mean for the world does it have any
meaning is it just a regular natural
phenomenon is it like a sunny day a
cloudy day a rainy day we don't usually
make much of rainy days or cloudy days
even though the truth is if we would
study the gamarra all of these natural
phenomenon have meaning the gamar says
that on a rainy day business always
prospers so if you wanted to invest
money the gamar says invest on a rainy
day now I never did an actual study on
of the stock market how it does on rainy
days versus sunny days you know someone
out there maybe make a study study the
the uh correlation between precipitation
humidity and the stock market but the
gumar says when it rains B business
prospers period the
says even money mean not just your farm
will prosper the money in your pocket
will prosper but the thing is that these
phenomenon here in New York it rains
almost every day like nine out of 10
days it rains right so we don't really
make much of
it but when we have a solar eclipse
which is somewhat of a rare or unique
phenomenon so uh the question is doesn't
mean anything is it ominous is it
something we should be concerned about
something we should think about so let's
begin with the gar
in an amazing
says we have to
learn when the sun is struck is stricken
now what exactly does that
mean
says it's a bad Omen for the entire
world
what is this analogous
to it's like a king of Flesh and Blood
he makes a party for his
subjects and he uh lights it up he puts
a lantern
out he got angry at
them and he says to his
attendant take the lantern away and put
them in darkness basically the world's a
party it's a big
party God gives us food unlimited food
three meals a day water the whole day
you could drink water it's a big party
you could breathe all day long there's
no all you could all you could breathe
you know some people they go to restant
all you could eat God put us in a
restaurant all you could breathe there's
no cap on oxygen and it's free and he
lights it up for us he he makes
spectacular lighting
but if he turns off the light it means
that he's he's angry at us now I would
infer from this gamar that if the
analogy is a king who makes a party for
his
servants that maybe it's only a bad Omen
for his servants but what if you're not
a servant of the king what if you're
you're the king's
child then maybe it's not a bad Omen in
fact comes
rer and rer said
eclipse is only a bad sign for the Jews
the opposite of what you would have
thought not Jews the
enemies
okay you didn't get me
though because when the
says it's a euphemism euphemism
is you say a blind person he has a lot
of light it's it's a curse to the Jewish
people but because we don't want to say
it we say to the enemy of the Jewish
people but it means to the Jewish people
so mayor says that uh when the when the
when the sun eclipses it is a bad sign
for the enemy of the Jewish people mean
for the Jewish people why because we're
used to punishment the Jewish people are
more accustom to punishment than the
rest of the world and thear says what is
it analogous to it's analogous to the
rebi back in the day now days rabim
can't even look at the Tam but back in
the days the rabim not only could look
at the Tam they could whack the tell
them okay and the revi would come in
with his paddle when the revi comes in
with his paddle who gets
nervous the you know the teacher's pet
it's the kid who gets hit every day he's
the one who starts getting nervous so
too who is more accustomed to punishment
the Jewish people because go because God
loves us and he wants our perfection so
he holds us more accountable we're the
ones who have to take the omen of
eclipse and therefore the gar says
according to a solar eclipse is a bad
sign for the Jewish people fine the
continues when the sun eclipses it's a
bad sign for the
Gentiles because the Gentiles follow the
solar
calendar the Moon
eclipses it's a bad sign for the
Jews because the Jews go by the
moon and the Gentiles go by the sun I
would have thought if it's if it's a
solar eclipse it should be a bad sign
for the Christians if it's a lunar
eclipse it should bad be a bad sign for
the Muslims cuz actually we don't only
go by the the moon it's not even uh we
mainly go by the moon we just have to
adjust it with the Sun but anyway the
gumar feels that primarily the Jewish
people go by the moon and therefore a
lunar eclipse is a bad sign for the
Jewish people the solar eclipse is a bad
sign
for the uh Gentiles then the gumar
says yeah so the T in the beginning he
said yeah so the gamar is making
somewhat self-contradictory statements
the gamar starts off by saying that the
solar eclipse is a bad sign for the
whole world mayor says it's only a bad
sign for the Jewish people now the gar
brings an opinion it's only a bad sign
for the Gentiles right so the gar has
made many different statements they
don't seem to be consistent with each
other then the gar
says if the if the eclipse if the sun
eclipses in the east in other words in
New York the eclipse is going to be what
like between 2 and 4 something like that
so if the sun eclipse is in the east
it's a bad sign for those who live in
the east of the
world if it eclipses in the
west if the eclipse is when the sun is
at at full height it's a bad sign for
the whole world now anybody know what's
the Sun going to look like on Monday
during the eclipse is it going to be
bloody is it going to be gray so pun of
if it looks
bloody war will come to the world if
it's
gray hunger will come to the world if
it's bloody and gray then war and famine
will come to the world the gamar says if
it eclipses close to
Sunset that means the punishment will be
delayed if it if it eclipses near
Sunrise then the punishment will come
hastily some say just the opposite
because if it's going to Eclipse near
sunet that means the sun is about to set
if it's it's going to Eclipse by Sunrise
there's more time okay says the gamar
and whenever Hashem punishes one of the
nations of the world he punishes their
along with it but says
the when the Jewish people do the will
of God then we have nothing to worry
about we have nothing to be afraid of
this is only a problem the eclipse only
has an ominous meaning if we're not
fulfilling because thek says
says don't learn the ways of the
Gentiles do not be afraid of the signs
of the
heavens the way the Gentiles are afraid
so the gar seems to say that if we're
doing what we're supposed to do we have
nothing to worry about we're observing
the T we're keeping the Mitzvah we come
to ding on time we leave our phone at
home we don't talk by daving we make
sure to learn consistently we don't
speak we guard our eyes we do everything
we need to
do then we could ignore any
signals now here's the big Whopper
here's the
bombshell there four sins that cause a
solar eclipse and again solar eclipse
means bad
news
Bloodshed
famine it's a Simon ra maybe to the
whole world or only to the Jewish people
here are the four
sins if the head of the Jewish Court
passes away and he's not eulogized
properly you have a great God Isel he
passes away and he's not given the
proper K this is a major major offense
this could cause a solar eclipse number
two
you have a young girl she's wed someone
abuses her someone coerces her she cries
out and nobody comes to her aid number
three
and or two brothers who are murdered
together very unusual set of sins that
cause solar eclipse
a chief of the bezin that wasn't
eulogized
properly a woman who is violated mishab
zakar and two brothers who are murdered
simultaneously comes rashi rashi who
makes tens of thousands of comments on
CH Rashi who always knows the answer to
everything says
Rashi no idea
why beats me no idea yeah now Rashi
doesn't say he said I didn't even hear
anything about it that's unusual rash I
didn't hear a reason for this for the
four the four for any of these four
things so Rashi does not offer us any
insight Rashi could have you know said
well because you know I was thinking all
of these four
things are sort of a very callous and
unnatural type of sin where here you
have the the leader of the generation
passes away and nobody could eulogize
him properly you know I understand you
don't like your Rabbi when he's alive
but he's dead you know people don't like
living rabbis you know people but when
they're dead everybody loves the rabbi
so he's the the rabbi died so even now
you have nothing good to say about him
it's like unnatural you don't like him
because you went you went for Shalom
bayas and he sided with your wife or you
had a cord case with somebody and he saw
with the other guy or you know he once
told you off okay but he's not alive
anymore everybody loves dead rabbis n
very
unnatural or here you have a girl she
she just got married to somebody and
she's immediately abused and nobody
could stand up for her or Mish Zar or
it's one thing murder but for two
brothers to be murdered simultaneously
that's such a callous cruel thing but
Rashi doesn't even attempt to give any
explanation Rashi doesn't say because of
these unnatural sins an unnatural thing
happened that the sun was eclipsed R she
says I don't know comes the mar and the
mar says well maybe you could give a
little bit of a reason we know was
compared to the Sun and Yu was compared
to the moon so we see that great are
compared to the Sun so if you don't
appreciate the tah leaders who are
compared to the Sun Hashem will minimize
the light of the
Sun
now let's talk about what is a solar
eclipse
the by the way if you want to come visit
the Rama on the Rama's yard site which
is you could join us to CR coming up
very soon on the 33rd day of the we're
going to be
visiting the besides writing glasses on
he wrote a about science and the B
mikdash it's
called and the ra says you know when we
talk about a solar eclipse we we have to
understand For a Moment by a solar
eclipse what the gar calls it like
nothing's happening to the sun
something's happening to the sun is the
sun minimized is the sun shining less
the sun is doing what it does every
single day the problem is that the moon
got in the way so it's not like the sun
was struck you see the the Rama says the
moon when the moon is eclipsed something
happens to the Moon the Moon usually
reflects the light of the Sun so if the
Earth gets in the way then the Moon is
minimized because nothing shining on
it Mas as opposed to the sun the sun is
doing what it always does it's just that
you can't see it so when you put on
blindfold somebody turned out the lights
the lights are still on you save your
electricity bill is still going to be
the same you're still going to get
ripped off hundreds of dollars a month
in the winter you didn't turn on the air
conditioner how much that everything is
Led it's still yeah but you know you're
at their Mercy you have no idea why
they're charging you this money but you
think the flashing clock on your
microwave is is $200 a month what are
you supposed to do you're going to take
them to court you're going to prove that
the five clocks in your house don't cost
$200 a month but but the electricity is
still on just because you're not looking
at it Sama points out that when you talk
about the solar eclipse it's different
than a lunar eclipse but here's the
million dollar
question the million-dollar question is
and this question is articulated by
many
iov
etlinger
rasi the
maral rakov risher
the gamar is saying because of four sins
it causes the the sun to Eclipse I don't
understand this Eclipse was predicted
200 years ago in fact there's a chart
that predicts every single Eclipse that
ever was from the day God created the
world until the end of time it's a
natural phenomenon based on the movement
of the Sun and based on the movement of
all the the Earth and the
moon there are eclipses every so often
in fact you know the story goes I think
I once told this over that this is
printed in the
introduction of a saer called sa
of where Christopher Columbus when he
discovered the new world he was captured
by
canals and they threatened they were
going to eat him and they put him in a
pot and they threw in some carrots and
some celery and some matab balls no not
mat balls and they were going to cook
him and Christopher Columbus had with
him the maritime charts of rabi abam
zakut that predicted all of the
eclipses and Christopher Columbus said
if you don't remove me I will blot out
the light of the
Moon because there were supposed to be a
very uh a a a lunar eclipse uh soon and
sure enough you know he went did some
Hocus Pocus and uh the Moon the Moon
disappeared and the uh Native American
Indians or whatever you're allowed to
call them these days um they you know
they
were and they rescued him and they
considered him a deity and they gave him
you know a lot of corn I don't know what
they gave him and uh this is printed in
the so eclipses are predictable you say
oh when the Sun rises that means when
the Sun rises it doesn't mean anything
it's it's programmed God programmed the
world that the sun rises and sun sets he
programmed the world that there solar
eclipses they lunar eclipses how could
you say oh because somebody well wait a
you're telling me a rabbi passed away
and if the person gives a good hpid
there won't be an eclipse and because he
didn't give a good hpid there was an
eclipse there's going to be Eclipse
whether he gave a good hpit or a bad
hpit there's going to be Eclipse whether
somebody helped the girl somebody didn't
help a girl whether there is mish or
there's not how could you blame How
Could You hinge how could you say that
the eclipse comes from these four sins
these are natural predictable phenomenon
that God programmed into the world and
they're like clockwork I can tell you
right now when the next eclipse is
you're telling me I know it's going um
it's going to be in Cleveland Ohio
there's going to be
uh to um totality right so you're saying
but if there in Cleveland Ohio if they
would make sure to give a good hpid then
it's going to go straight from you know
from Mexico to Rochester and and the
state of Ohio is going to miss miss the
eclipse yeah let's try that
out you could look up right now I left
it at home the path of totality they
predict you know there people any motel
in the path of totality you could have
some Far der a place in uh in Kentucky
you know they haven't nobody has gone to
that Motel 6 and since they opened it up
they left the light on for the guy the
first day it's still on that
light they that light is still on and
they're you know they're paying $200 a
month for that one light that they left
on and now all of a sudden it was kada
for them to build that Motel 6 50 years
ago because from Williamsburg are going
to Kentucky to see the the uh the solar
eclipse but that's only if they don't
give a good hpit if they were going to
give a good hasid then now they're going
to go there and uh they're going to miss
the whole thing they're going to look up
in the sky and they're just going to see
a
regular says he says that many people
think that what we call an eclipse is
what the gar is referring to when it
says and because they interpret the
gamar very literally
so the
says the youth mock the they say how
could it be how could thear say that an
eclipse is dependent on sin it's a
natural predictable phenomenon by the
way also says that those who
are those who mock the words of kazal
they they're they this is like Prime
real estate for anybody who has problems
with gamar this is where they're going
you know for all the gamarra critics out
there they've been waiting for this
gamar their whole life because the gamar
seems to be saying that an eclipse is
some kind of Supernatural phenomenon
when we know this is a physical uh
predictable phenomenon this is a
question that all the ask if you look in
the uh look at number
eight he
says many many struggle to understand
the meaning of this gar also the he
says
the eclipses are perforce they're
programmed into the world they're
predictable they're not going to change
whether our behavior is good or bad so
let's begin with the first approach
approach number
one says if you think when the talks
about it's talking about the solar
eclick and the path of totality n the
gamar is not talking about solar
eclipses the gamar is not talking about
um the path of totality the of
the what does mean the sun is
struck you know what this is referring
to
says he
says
sunspots you know what sunspots are
blotches on the Sun what is
it it's a phenomenon you could look at
the sun with a
telescope you have to probably use a
special lens and every so often the same
way if you look at the sun there they're
explosions they're constant explosions
yeah hydrogen explosions there are
sunspots and when there's a sunspot on
that area the light of the sun is
minimized does it make any difference to
us in this world no we are
so our our level of existence is so
reduced that we cannot tell the
difference
between the
minimal lessening of sunshine that is
caused by a sunspot whether there is a
spot or there's not a spot but in the
ancient times where they were they were
very connected to all physical
phenomenon and they were very perceptive
of physical phenomenon and they're very
sensitive to physical phenomenon they
could detect a difference in their life
and in their quality of life when
there's a sunspot or not you know how it
is some days you feel good sometimes you
don't feel great somebody once asked me
why do we always say in why do
we heal us as if we're always sick 365
days of a year we're sick why don't we
ask Hashem Hashem give us good health
because a Jew you know there's a
headache a toothache some there's always
something right you could always
say we live on a reduced level of
existence back in the day they were more
perceptive to even minimal changes in
physical phenomenon and the the eclipse
that the gamar is talking about is
sunspots what is the meaning of a solar
eclipse as absolutely not doesn't mean
anything it's like sunrise and sunset
it's predictable if you could check it
up if you could Google exactly when it
will be where and how long and we could
tell when it will be on Monday and the
next time there'll be an eclipse and the
next time then it does not have any
ramification in uh
in because this is not a supernatural
phenomenon it is a physical phenomenon
when the gar talks about it's talking
about sunspots by the way in a rare
occasion rakov also says
that the gamar cannot be taken literally
it's not referring to what we know as as
an eclipse but rather it would seem that
the gar is talking about some other kind
of phenomenon where the sun itself is
minimized by some kind of uh occurrence
so this is the first opinion that what's
happening on
Monday has no bearing on our
lives what what is its meaning
absolutely nothing it's a gimmick to get
people to go to a motel six in pcket
Kentucky and to pay what's normally $43
a night
$430 a night for a room that its light
has been on since it was built okay so
it means nothing according to
raban comes the kades and the kades says
you know this is not the first time we
had such a
question this is a question
in God said I'm never going to bring a
mble what's the sign I'm never going to
bring a
mble a rainbow a rainbow is a sign that
God is angry at the world and really he
was going to destroy the world and he's
not because of the
rainbow mask come on a rainbow is a sign
that God really wants to destroy the
world scientists could predict that if
you have enough precipitation in the air
and The Sun Shines and there's a certain
Cloud you're going to see a rainbow it's
a physical phenomenon it's predictable I
could also make a rainbow you know when
I was a kid you take a hose you shot you
squirt it up in the air like in the
angle of the Sun and you see a rainbow
you make a br on that yeah come everyone
come to my backyard soon as May comes
I'm going to going to show everyone
there's the rainbows in my backyard
every single day you're saying that a
rainbow is a sign that Hashem really
wanted to destroy the world the rainbow
is not a sonm wanted to destroy the
world a rainbow is a physical phenomenon
comes the shades and he says no you're
making a big mistake the question is an
erroneous question you ready for this
the gamar tells
us about a
guy
who was on your
roof and you forgot to
make it depends where you come from if
you you know it depends where you learn
you forgot to make a ma or a m whatever
you want you forgot to make a fence so
if you forget to make a
fence so G
says the Fallen one will fall off so gar
asks why are we calling him a fallen one
should say somebody might fall off SAR
says no he was supposed to fall off when
God created the world he ordained PL is
going to fall off the
roof so then why am I responsible for
not making offense this guy was going to
fall off anyway so why am I responsible
what is
it he was supposed to fall off but God
was looking for a good Agent to bring
about his will you pal are a good
negligent agent you're a guilty person
why am I a guilty why is he a guilty
person cuz he was irresponsible by not
making offense so God was a good Shad he
Shaden the guy who was supposed to
with a guy who is an eligible candidate
to be a murderer so even though in other
words any murderer someone who's a
murderer why why why can't he say this
is what the Germans said the Nazis claim
this in the akman trial that why are
they responsible but God decreed that
the Jews should
suffer they they right it's similar to
the the rid the rivid says you know why
were why were the MIM punished but
Hashem decreed
um
that that they're going to afflict us
for 400 years the answer is
sayses God knew this person would fall
but he AR and he knew this from the
beginning of time but he arranged that
Ploy who's guilty for not making a roof
he should be the instrument to bring
about the demise of this guy who fell
off the roof it's the same thing with
solar
eclipse
you know why there's a solar
eclipse because we don't respect
G because our society not the Gentile
Society the Jewish Society is
immoral because of mish so what do you
mean but it was predicted we knew there
was going to be an eclipse that's
right God who created the
world he knew there was going to be an
eclipse
at these times because he knew these
times are times where the Jewish people
are
sinful yeah but we could predict that's
great you know why you could predict cuz
God could predict and he's the one who
created the world and he set up these
phenomenon that they occur like
clockwork you know why he set it up for
these times cuz he knew that these times
there would be terrible sinful behavior
of the Jewish people saying wait a
second
that means god knew we would sin at
these times so doesn't it mean that we
have to be we don't have a choice we
have to be
sinful says a that's the question is as
old as the hills that's the question of
how do we have free choice if God has
forn
knowledge so we human being doesn't have
the capacity to understand how is it
that God knows what we're going to do
despite the fact that we have free
choice whether to do it or not
but once you could get around
understanding that we're not able to
understand how it's possible that God
knows what we're going to do even though
we have the choice whether to do it or
not we can understand that yes a rainbow
means God's angry with the world but
what do he means a physical phenomenon
yeah God created the physical phenomenon
that it should be just at the times that
were sinful and he would have destroyed
the
world that's the answer of the schah in
that case
Monday is a frightening day it's a scary
day the gamar says that a solar eclipse
is a criticism of the Jewish people
could be of the whole world and it could
be just us but what do you mean we
predicted it we knew this was happening
for 200 years yeah that's because God
who created the world foresaw that there
going to be times in history when we're
not doing what we need to do we don't
treat our leaders properly it's an
immoral climate
and it's a a murderous
climate that's how the schah
understands then the schl says something
let's see if I could say the
words you'll think about it tonight by
the way if you ever have a hard time
falling asleep one appr proven technique
is you think about the
shear and many people have told me that
um you know somebody just said you know
Reb GL scene I know a very old lady
she's in her 90s and she listens to
yir probably she has a hard time falling
asleep at night and uh this really uh is
a very effective way
but but you'll think about this you'll
tell me if you understand it the
says that these physical
phenomenon they
impact the every day ordinary running of
the physical
world they make an imprint they have an
impact they make AEM in our finances in
our health in our well-being but that's
only because we live in a world of sin
but if we would be acting the way we
should act then these phenomenon would
have no impact on us at
all now does that answer why they have
an impact on us if they're if it's
predict able beforehand and it's a
physical
phenomenon let me share with you one
more approach and then I'm going to
share with you the amazing approach of
the maral of Prague and maybe on chabas
you could come to
shalas at 5:30 Peninsula and we're going
to learn the amazing approach of
theer
the and
the say as follows
they say of course uh an eclipse is a
physical phenomenon it's
predictable it's
scientifically
uh able to be determined from beforehand
when the eclipse will occur however when
it
occurs it's a bad
sign it's a bad masle just like you know
there's an idea if somebody's born under
Ma madm so says either he'll be a
murderer so he better either become a or
because you're going to be influenced by
the maszle that you're born under so the
the yakob
says that even though it's predictable
when the eclipse will be at the time of
the
eclipse it
prends and
reflects upon the sins of the Jewish
people you're right it's predictable but
at that time it's a
of okay you ready for this fasten your
seat
belts you ready Rafi you
sure maybe you'll say this over one day
at it's it it would be very good B um
yeah all these sins could be you know
people need to hear about especially at
the
Shas The says there are four sins that
bring about a solar eclipse if a God is
dies and he's not eulogized properly if
a woman gets married and she's violated
and nobody saves her
Mish or if two brothers are murdered
like the most random four sins you could
come up with if I if I asked you come up
with the
fourmost unconnected random AO and put
them together in one pot this would be a
good job says the maral of Prague there
is no question that the gamarra is not
taken
literally and when the gamar talks about
the eclipse of the sun the sun
represents those who give off light to
this world who gives off light to this
world why
would be eclipsed that their light is no
longer shining that people don't learn
Tyra why is there a dimunition of Tyra
in the world why are people
not attached to the Tyra the way they
should be now here's a very important
idea says maral of Prague in order for
Tyra to be learned it's not okay it's
not going to be enough if you're
interested in learning interest is not
going
to cause an expansion of Tyra yeah I
like learning it's very it's very
interesting very interesting
interesting interesting a lot of things
are
interesting there are many
industries that H they their their goal
is to surpass whatever your minor
interests are so that you could be
hooked on more interesting things
instead of the things that you claim are
interesting to you it's not enough to be
interested in Tyra you need to love the
Tyra if you don't love Tyra the Tyra
will not be
absorbed and be
disseminated and be present in our life
in the life of our community in order to
learn you need for the T if you don't
love the T then you don't even get to
first base raise your hand if you love
The
Tyra it's unanimous it's unanimous
otherwise you wouldn't come here you
need to love the
TOA how do you have to love the
T you have to love the T in three
ways with all your heart what's your
heart remember we said heart is not your
heart how you supposed to love with your
heart your heart is your
mind heart whenever the T says La it's
your mind means you have to love t with
your
intelligence your
soul is your
actions your
cash nothing shows
appreciation like
cash if you if you want to be connected
to
toyra yeah I do the
da you do the D you do the da okay
that's great you do
it you have to love the da otherwise you
didn't start you have to love the toyra
you have to love it with all your soul
I'm sorry with all your heart that's
your mind with your body and your
money the gamar says it says you should
love Hashem How could a person love the
the is fire if you marry your daughter
to a you do business for a you give the
from your assets it's like you're
connected to Hashem says maral of
Prague
if you marry your daughter to
the we know a person's heart his mind is
connected to his children person's
thoughts are always about their children
so if you give your child over to
a so you're giving over your mind to the
Tyra if you help a do business so you're
working for
him you're working to support then your
actions are given over to the Tyra when
you support with your money your money
is giving over to the Tyra you have to
love the T in these three ways you ready
for
this tomam passed
away look we understand why you didn't
like the rabbi when he was alive we
already went through this you didn't
like him when he was alive because he
told you what to do he once said he once
gave you a look and you didn't like it
he once did not R Miller would say that
um somebody once accused him of not
sufficiently widening their smile his
smile to to a congregant I understand
when the rabbi's alive you don't like
but he's dead the poor guy's dead
already so give him a eulogy give him a
hit don't you see the Tyra is lessened
in the world because of his loss why
aren't you eulogizing the tamly it's
because you don't appreciate the
intellectual value of the toyra you
don't it doesn't hurt you that there's a
dimunition of T in the world if you
don't
eulogize properly it
means that you don't love the Tyra with
your mind you know you know why there's
a lack of toy in this world because we
don't love the to with our mind evident
from the fact that a great Rabbi could
die and we don't eulogize him
properly
next a young girl got
married and she was
violated and she screamed
out and nobody came to her
Aid says
maral you know who that young girl is
the Jewish
people every Jew is wed to someone who's
that the
T every Jew is engaged to the
T but some
Jews they can consummate the
deal because they can't afford
it some people could afford it some
people could afford to learn and some
people can't afford
it they should get a job they should be
gainfully
employed you know why are they warming
the
bench well I should go to where I should
support them they should supports it's a
capitalist
country
Al if there are Jews who can't afford to
dedicate themselves to learning the way
they would like they were married to the
toyra but they can't consummate the
deal because people are saying you know
why should the states support them maybe
they should also
defend and I'm not getting into that
right
now but if a Jew would like to learn
Tyra who's responsible to support them
if you have money in your wallet you are
you are if you could afford it no I only
give Saka to to poor to social
causes I only give toah United
hatah Lifeline I only give SED to social
causes but you want to learn t no
problem be get a job and then when you
get home from work you could learn in
your free time what do you want from my
life I I I I went to school and I have a
job and I I worked for it so why do I
have to give you money
Nar the does not only belong to those
who could afford it it belongs to every
Jew and if Jews are not able to learn
the way they would like
to that means we don't love
Tyra
in what
way with our money we don't learn Tyro
we don't love Tyro with our money why AR
we supporting them cuz it's my money and
if they want to learn let them figure
out how to be gainfully
employed says Mar that's what the gar
means you know why there's a solar
eclipse you know why there's a lack of
Tyra in this world because we don't love
the in order for there to be Tyra you
need to love the Tyra you have to love
it with your mind
and if we don't eulogize properly that
means we don't have the proper value for
and if we don't
support we don't have the proper value
of what money could do in terms of
supporting Tyra you ready for this you
know why else there's a lack of uh Tyra
in the
world because of
mish so how we how we going to figure
this one
out
thek says
[Laughter]
in see life with the woman that you love
who's the woman that you
love says the Tyra the Tyra is the woman
so who's the
man the man is your
job
so the maral says a healthy balanced
relationship is to balance your
livelihood and the time you dedicate to
Li your livelihood is your man and your
your relationship with a Tyra is your
woman but what if a guy says you
know look I work 9 to5 but you know I
need to work more I have a nice house
but I want to have a nicer car and
another car and I want to have an
apartment in Florida and one in yam and
and a bungalow and I want to go on fancy
vacation so I need to work from 8:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m. every night and I
don't have time to learn pal so your
life is about you and your man about you
and your job your woman you threw out of
the picture you have a very unhealthy
relationship over here you know what we
call this if you're too involved in your
career and your livelihood that's Mish
Z I'm just a reporter by the way if I
came to you and I came up with thisat I
don't know if you're going to this is
Mya
Prague
Mish you got to give equal time to the
man and the
woman I know by the way Friday night you
come home and you sing this uh OD to
your
wife this beautiful
song it has nothing to do with her it's
not a song of to your
wife I
mean you could think it is and she could
think it is is about the T it's about
your relationship with the T why am I
singing it Friday night cuz six days a
week you're working and shabas is time
for
Li okay not not everything that we say
here needs to be repeated as a at the
shabas table but the truth is the
truth there many nice things we say
you'll be able to say over at the
table says maral of Prague the zahar is
your livelihood Thea is the toyra make
sure they're wed and they're both given
proper attention otherwise
Mish then you don't honor the to says
the
mar with your nephesh with your body
you're too physically immersed in your
livelihood you're too physically
immersed in your
career we need to love the reason why
the light of T shines in this world and
in your life is if you have to love
her you have to love her in that sense
she's like a
wife marriage works you have to love
your wife the toyra is Meaningful if you
love her you have to love her with your
mind you have you have to love her with
your actions you have to love her with
your money if you don't there will be
less Tyra in the world how do we know
how much you love the
toyra listen carefully how you talk
about raban you want to know how much
you love
Tyra do you praise them or do you
criticize
them that's one way to know if you love
them with your
mind do you love them do you love Tyra
with your
body what's the I your work your
livelihood or Lia do you love the T with
your
money do you support people to be able
to
learn and then finally we have one more
thing because the gamar says what's the
fourth sin that causes a solar
eclipse if two brothers are murdered in
one
day
what are we going to do with
that says maral of Prague if two
brothers are murdered in one
day the two brothers are the
Lis when God gave us a Lis it was his
handiwork and his
writing if we were able to receive his
writing on on his
handiwork then the toyra he gave us will
be inscribed on our heart but because
the two L were
broken because the two bras were broken
so now God had a supplanted with Mosa's
handiwork so now it's not God's writing
on God's handiwork it's God's writing on
moa's handiwork so now we no longer have
this gift from above of the right in of
God on God's tablets it's the writing of
God on Mosa's tablets so the two
brothers were broken says the maral in
order for toyra to be meaningful in this
world you need to have people who are ma
the and when those twoos were broken
that was symbolic of a lack of
acceptance of the Tyra and therefore in
our times as well in order for the Torah
to be meaningful in our lives we have to
be willing
and loving recipients of it says maral
the first three sins are specific
specific to a determination of our love
for the three various levels of loving
the toyra with our mind with
our nephesh and with our money the
fourth sin that the gamar mentions is a
reference to the general attitude of our
willingness to accept the T according to
the
moral does Monday's solar eclipse mean
anything simply he's saying that it's
just a
remes that a solar eclipse refers to if
you notice that there's a dimunition of
Tyra in the world do you know why it's a
lack of love for the
Tyra but you can't help but think that
the solar
eclipse is a
mush that if you see that the light of
the sun is blotted out that reflects
that the light of the great Sun the
light of the toyra has been minimized in
our in our
lives and we have to search what is it
why is it minimizing why why is my
connection to toyra not as deep as it
could
be and the answer the gar tells us is we
have to examine
do we love the Torah with all of our
mind do we
love do we support
Li are we too immersed in our jobs and
are we really willing to accept it so
according to the
maral Monday
afternoon according
to relax you know you could take it easy
Monday afternoon doesn't have too much
meaning according to the
you have to take it very seriously God
knew 57 84 years
ago that Monday afternoon would be a
time when we've sunk to a really low
level and according to the maral
specifically it seems to be
indicating that we have to examine why
there has been a minimization of toyra
in our lives and the answer is we need
to love
more we need to love to more and our
jobs
left and we need to go out of our way
and strain ourselves and exhibit some
sacrifice when it comes to supporting
Tyra and overall we have to be willing
recipients of that and in that Merit
will be that the great light of the Sun
the tah will shine bright and brighter
and we we should all
be thank you very much and
uh thank
you
