hello everyone so uh first I would just
like to say that the sh is uh being uh

and for their in their entire family
obviously in Mel's memory should
be okay so we are starting a new uh a
new MID that talks about uh obviously
about tshav so it will be in preparation
for tshav anyone who would like to

tonight at 8 8:00 p.m. or maybe it will
be 8:10 after
Mar that will be in Hebrew a that I give
tonight a special for in Hebrew but it's
in
Hebrew uh up upstairs tonight up
tomorrow so it will be 8 10 May okay but
there's no summary at the
end
exactly okay
so um what I would like to do today is
to go through a very famous story that
the K describes but it's being described
in other sources in a different way and
we need to try to understand what's the
point of it what are the lessons and
what can we learn from it okay so that's
what we're going to do so let's uh let's
take a look first at the K
itself is what not
Prophet my Palace
exactly what
is it's a name for the bet mikdash it's
not only a in it's not a neighborhood
in but is the the temple Bic
the which means oh sorry thank
you which means my Palace was desolated
because of my sins
and my tears will basically fall on my
cheek and on this
day what is cry cry very good sigh and
cry I will raise my voice about
it and I will um I will moan I will C
for it for for many days on what
like what's what exactly happened that
you are so so
sad my heart is broken and my heart is
mourning and
comfort there is no
comfort and my pain cannot be compared
to what to any other types of
pain about what what's the case Al but
RAB Ishmael kohen Gad because of the
children of RAB Ismael kohen Gad the
high
priest their memory will be in my
heart okay so this is the introduction
which means
this is about what two
children who were the children of RAB
Ismael kohen
what are the names of his children we
don't know according to the Kina we just
know that they are about these two
children of R is okay so what exactly
happened there at
Nish at the time that they were what
they were
captured and two different Masters
bought
them and they are neighbors who are
neighbor
the two
masters which means they live next to
each
other and they are talking and they
start telling to to each other
what I captured a woman she is beautiful
and he described her like Theon moon in
the darkness
and and she is gorgeous and she's
beautiful so his friend told him ha
you're telling me about this beautiful
girl I'll tell you about what this very
handsome um boy that I
captured I came also from what from the
capture of the Conquering
of I capture the slave who has beautiful
eyes he shines like a sun in the middle
of the
day and like the minute that the Sahar
is the Le it comes to an end like like
beautiful
sight Okay so until now we are obviously
said that uh she was captured he is
captured and they are talking about them
like two animals but until now it's not
that n right
okay so they came up with what with a
beautiful idea I have a beautiful maid
servant you have a beautiful slave let's
put them together and the children will
be beautiful and we will sell the
children
children but the problem is they're not
only a slave and a made servant they are
brother and sister the Masters don't
know but that's obviously building up to
the drama
right so when you hear something like
that your ears will
burn and because of that when I remember
that I'm going to tell my
garments so when they agreed the two
masters they took the slave and the maid
servant and they put them together in
one room and they told them you need to
get together and she needs to get
pregnant and the two masters who were
two separate people now they have
something in common so they they are so
excited she's going to get pregnant and
we going to sell the the
children so what do they do the Son and
the daughter they look at they don't we
don't know if they look at each other or
anything they just what they cry they
cry and they cry B here so from the
night until the morning
he says I am the descendant
of I mean this is unbelievable look at
their self-esteem you are a slave you
are captured in Jerusalem you were sold
and he still think he's what he's a
descendant of Aon says how can I a
descendant of Aon aen can what marry a a
slave woman
she's also will cry out and
say even though she's also a daughter of
aen but
she basically traced herself to Y
moshe's mom because obviously moshe's
mom when she had M
and how can I marry what a Slave
o I don't need to translate this is what
Hashem
decreed what
is Stars so basically the
entire uh what do you call it
um the what do you call it the Galaxy
okay there's consolation and everything
all of them will cry to I didn't know
there brother and S no not yet not yet
now each one of them cry and they cry on
themselves meaning he says how can I the
descendant of Aon can marry slave woman
and she said how can I descendant of can
marry a
slave or B ah the first light
comes they recognize each
other oh brother oh sister
they hugged each
other and they got
what so there is a hug and then there is
what is conect they got
connected what does that mean physically
spiritually what exactly going on
here so they Soul Departed
this is what will eulogize and will
lament about this children of R
okay I can tell
you more terrible stories than this
one thear can tell you more terrible
stories about this one and and it seems
to be
that who wrote many of the Lamentations
in that we borrow
from we try to associate him with this
case but this case is a very strange one
leave alone the fact that uh if they cry
and the Masters are
like at the outside of the the entrance
of the room they obviously can what can
hear they don't check from time to time
or they get they wanted to give them
privacy I mean come on okay and then
they cried and cried and their soul
departed because they cried and that's
how it's in a way it's a good ending
they didn't need to do what the Masters
asked them to do or commanded them to do
and in a way they ended their life uh
together and everything is like so
what's I mean don't get me wrong it's
it's
terrible but we know about more terrible
stories that happened took place in the
time of the destruction of the of second
betam mikdash okay but that's
the now hold on with all the questions
take a look at
Mid
mid I will tell you so you will have a
little bit of a head start for tonight
mid is a mid which means we have early
M that's the second
century starts let's say at the fifth
century okay
that'sa this one is around six seventh
century okay so that's what we call Mid
B okay six sth Century this is the mid
okay so this mid says the
following so first difference is what
two sons two sons we have a daughter and
a son the Kina
right don't can't erase it whatever so I
have crays here if you need no I have
here too but but you can't erase you
need to like sprit sprit water
whatever uh yeah but I can't
WR
um do what wait should I get a paper
towel no no no no no it will Takeo much
you know what I'll just do it like I'll
just do it like okay
K I'll write it
already Okay so
Ben
mid right he son okay you you need me to
translate it or that's fine
fine you can't read my handwriting so
it's fine so
that they were
captured ah so
from it started now we start with what
with so we move to what to a male and a
female okay a boy and a
girl so each one of them fell as a spoil
to one of the Masters it's like a
commander in the
Army now take a look at the story
so the master who bought or captured the
boy he went to a prostitute and instead
of paying her money what did he do he
gave her the
boy now you can understand the
the degration degration degradation of
this of this person I mean he was the
son of the Ken G was captured and now
he's being so being exchanged for what
for
prostitution the other guy the other
Master he took his maid servant that he
captured the sister and he basically
paid with her in order to get what
wine in order to fulfill the prophecy
they will throw a
lot on my
people they gave the boy in exchange of
what of
prostitution and the
girl they sold for
wine does she have to agree yes I would
take that boy or can she say you know
what I don't want a boy to raised so go
away oh know she she got it she's like a
slave he's like a slave he gave her to
him he he the master gave it to the
prostitute uh in exchange of the
prostitution she didn't want him no one
ask her no one ask her maybe she wanted
him because he he will just uh no he
will just uh walk for her he will clean
he will he will cook I don't know
whatever he will do so first and
foremost we see a major difference
between the midash and the Kina first
the identity
B there is really no description about
their what looks their looks their
beauty nothing it just what they were
sold for
nothing terrible treatment and for now
we still don't have what any points of
connections between them he sold her he
sold him to a prostitute and she he sold
her to to a grocery store a
guy but you mean after a few days weeks
whatever it
was so this prostitute I guess she was a
businesswoman she went to this ca ca is
a someone who is has a very good
taste it's being mentioned in for
example if I need to know if there is
enough let's say a piece of meat fell
into a a pot of milk and I need to know
if there is shim 60 pieces against this
one I can't taste it right so what do I
do I take a non-jewish taster which
calleda someone who knows exactly The
Taste and he can tell me what if it if
it influen the P did not and now how can
you trust him the answer is because he's
such an expert he will not ruin his
reputation so she goes to this
guy and she told him
look at
it she the
prostitute she says to the storekeeper
or the this taster she says look I
notice that what that your maid servant
looks like what like my boy okay like my
slave they look alike and you know what
so she came up with the idea she says
you know what they look like they look
alike if they look alike so what so I
don't know maybe they they they can Feit
let make them what be together and they
will have children and we will sell the
children so that's what they did
so what did they do they brought him
into a room and they closed the
door shat and I put you in a parenthesis
sh meaning shat can be understood that
she started or that she had some kind of
a delay but then she started what did
she
do so the girl start crying
l so the
boy he didn't recognize her but he says
to her what why are you crying stop here
this is a major difference between what
our story this story and the K in the k
each one of them what cried for
themselves and no one
spoke no one spoke everyone was in a way
focusing only on his or her pain here
she start crying which is I know in the
21st century we probably should say what
the te start crying right but she start
crying and uh and he is the one to what
to approach here okay that's sixth
Century what do you
want she says to him why am I'm crying
I'm a daughter of the
I'm going to marry a
slave this is interesting why if you
remember the
K he was the one to say it very good not
she she just said I'm a descendant of Y
she didn't relate to the and here in the
mid she's the one she has the the idea
or the or the notion of
royalty and not
him man who is your
father look at it I mean it seems to be
that he has no
clue my father
is where exactly did you live what's
your
address we live
in what in what level in the market like
in the upper level lower level what does
that mean meaning do you live in Baka or
you live in
katamon what
is we live up Upstate New York okay we
live where the wealthy people
live
Amala what apartment
this is the
address did you have a
brother
true do he have any birth mark that you
can identify this brother
by he had a little birth mark on his
shoulder
and when he used to come from the
mid he would show his birth mark and I
will kiss
it a bit
strange if I will show if someone will
show you this Spirit mark would you
recognize
[Music]
it so what did he do he uncovered his
shoulder she saw this birth
mark and they recognize each
other they start hugging each
other they start kissing each
other start trying for each
other the until they what their soul
departed and the Holy Spirit comes and
cry these are the people that I cry for
why what do you think is more terrible
this one or the first
one we have a third one okay well let's
do the third one let's do the third one
and then we will compare all of them and
try to understand what's the point of
each one of
them is Ben
Elisha
notok again two masters capture
them happened to be that these two
masters found themselves together in a
in a place they were not neighbors they
just found themselves somewhere at the
same time at the same
place one says I have a slave my gosh
she is so
handsome and the other guy says what M
servant she's the most gorgeous woman
ever right the first story is about luks
the third story is about Luke wait wait
wait we'll get
them so let's get them together and
share their
children so they brought him into the
room
by the way you understand that this
entire
story no one could know about that story
because of what no one was there in the
room and no one survived from that
room so no one knew that one sat in this
corner and the other one sat in that
corner and no one knew about the
conversation so it's all what con it's
someone to say a makeup story or you
want to say an invention or you want to
say whatever it is but there is
obviously this is why we need to find
the lesson that comes out from it
so each one of them takes a
corner this one says I'm a descendant of
aen the son of aen son of a I'm going to
marry a slave
woman now there is equality she says the
same thing I'm a descendant
of what I'm going to marry a
slave cried all night long
when the first light came up the
dawn they recognize each
other so they recognized each other they
cried with each other until their
depart and this is the case where says
these are the people that I cry my eyes
will I have tears for them for eternity
okay you see the in is very
very short and
undescriptive right so first and
foremost we're going to do something
interesting today hopefully if I would
ask you what do you think will is the
original story what would you
say you have three stories the common
denominator is what the goal the goal
was to get them together to get her
pregnant and to sell the children that's
a common denominator between all the
three stories if I would ask you what do
what do you think is the first story the
original story first second or third and
tell me why first one first one the Kina
yeah it's the third one is also they
recognize each other right away um no
even in the first one they didn't
recognize each other right away only B
only the only
time the Second Story says that they
recognize each other before right before
the morning okay now you tell me
um
okay look at the second story for a
second okay before we go to the first
story and the third Story the third
Story the third Story the third source
of the story in my opinion the is the
latest
one
okay is the latest the third one is the
most not original in my opinion the
second one is the original and why am
I'm saying this so
first and
foremost do you see something
interesting in mid do you see any
change PTO suddenly there is a
change don't look too hard just look at
the at the text
itself what do you see
there that's that's true but b sometimes
a person can call children exactly but
there is a a really obvious thing there
two obvious things go
[Music]
right okay I'll help you out a bit I
thought you were saying that and then
you
deviated the midash begins with
what with trying to find an explanation
for a PUK what is the PUK the PUK is
from
yel they sold the boy for prostitution
and they sold the girl for wine and then
they are looking where exactly that PUK
come from came from not came from that's
from yel but when this was
fulfilled answer ah this is the m m with
the daughter and the son of radok who
were captured they will try to put them
together sorry they were um they were
sold for what for prostitution and for
wine set to that's it basically the
midash found the case of what that
explain the
PUK okay so that's what the midash this
also always what the midash is trying to
do is to explain a PUK and see when
exactly it happened okay now after that
we will see the chapter in your so
that's the first thing so what happened
in the room is nowhere to be found yeah
very good the beginning of the midash
does not say anything about them getting
together it just what that the midash
the B midash heard somehow that one boy
was sold for prostitution and the girl
was sold for a barrel of wine ah I found
the PUK in yel that was fulfilled and
they brother and sister and they are
brother and sister even though the PUK
does not say that they are brother and
sister it say what only what yed ve Al
okay
now interestingly enough and that's what
I thought you would immediately say you
see that there two languages here one is
Hebrew and the other one is
aramit okay so the story is in
aramit okay
now the story
itself talks about something very
interesting who was behind the
idea this prostitute she was the one to
initiate this entire thing
right what the mid says she went to
this thisani this guy who had a store
and she told him let's get them together
and what and sell the children
now this is basically what a business
deal between that prostitute and this
guy
okay dka in this
mid this is all it's nothing about the
look it's not about their beauty their
beauty is not mentioned at all maybe
they were not beautiful at all it was
all about what business business
productivity we will have more children
we will have more slaves we will be will
have more money okay I would like to
suggest that because it's not about the
look it's not about the
external part it's more about the what
the internal part this is how in this
midash the first thing that we have is
what she start
crying when she start crying and now
take a look at these two boys and girl I
mean the boy and the girl she was
captured she was sold for a barrel of
wine okay he was captured was sold to a
prostitute now they are both together
and she's crying what does he
do he addressed her he approaches s
which means
what despite the
fact of what was done to
him and to her we can see two things she
cries which means she still has whats
feelings and emotions still a
woman and in addition to it what do we
have he dka he instead of ignoring her
or said to her woman what are you crying
like now you now you you figure out that
you need to cry look at our situation we
are terrible we are in a terrible
shape okay so let's get together mea you
don't recognize me he didn't rec if he
would not talk to her he would say to
her what
look if we're not going to get together
and you're not going to get pregnant we
are going to both be killed okay but
instead what does he
do he approach her and he says to her
what why do you
cry so what does she say this is this is
an incredible thing she says why do I
cry because look at my situation I am
the daughter of a Coen who is a
descendant of
and I'm going to want to marry a
slave lady what are you talking about
what do you think you're going to marry
a prince on a horse like this is your
situation you are a m you are a slave
woman you were sold you were sold you
were captured and then you were sold and
what do you think they will do with
you but look what this midash is
basically saying she had self-confidence
self-confidence but he did not yet he
had feelings he had sympathy but he
already forgot he does not say in this
midash what I am I am also a benen and I
will tell you why in my opinion why in a
minute basically she looks at herself as
a descendant of the Ken G and he's
trying to what to get some information
so he says to her okay so what's your
father's name where exactly did you
leave and look at her she Shon yes she
lived in h the most fancy
neighborhood and
then the moment of
recognition now you tell
me what do you
do with the idea that he says to her
would you be able to recognize your
brother and she says yes first and
foremost that seems to me like the
brother was l L long time
ago not the same time now she has more
memories so she was older probably he
was younger or he was already captured
before her but he came from a bait
midash which was a might be a child and
he had a little birth mark now to have
even a birth mark But to have a mark as
a son of a Coen G what do you think do
you think he had a chance no to become
Coen Gad no he had a it's
a not sure this is a mo that will
totally disqualify you but I can tell
you especially in the beta mdash second
bet mikdash if you have this something
like that oh they're going to give you
hard time especially back then they were
very fancy okay so basically they
probably said few things about about his
birth mark so my assumption this is my
theory he was captured before her she
lost her brother already long time
ago and basically and this is something
that it's
uh I don't know it's a bit weird I'll
put it like that he will come every time
from the B
midash and he will uncover his birth
mark and she will give it a
kiss that's it's she another sister I
can see it how how yes I can see it I
can see it too but I'm asking you him as
a young kid and she's a little
older it's you're fine you know you're
wonderful very good so don't make it
make it a romance don't make it
something crazy I would say he was
bullied was what bullied bullied bullied
yeah and people made fun of him he would
come and he would cry and she would say
what what happened today they again made
fun of your birth mark I I know maybe it
was a major birth mark not like a little
and she was said here I'll give you a
kiss everything is
okay now it's interesting she always
comforted him in this situation what
does he do he's the one to comfort
her and then when he shows her this
birth mark basically they start what
hugging each other kissing each other
crying and then as
one their n departs
so what exactly is the point of this
mid first to understand
the that they sold the boy for
prostitution and the girl for wine
that's a that's the most important thing
of the mid then later on the midash
wanted to us to to see
what well if I would ask okay what's the
point of the story to test what's the
point of the story to test them for what
recognition of one
[Music]
another what
compassion I
think compassion at times of tremendous
stress unlike any other story that each
one of them found a corner and didn't
talk to each other only in the morning
when they could recognize each other
physically here he felt in this case in
in the darkness still at night he
found sympathy empathy to someone who is
crying not knowing here he is a slave
she is a slave woman and still he find
in
his inner Powers whatever it is to
approach that girl and to try to comfort
her which means this midash is trying to
describe not so much the the terrible um
um losing of lineage it was more about
what the feelings that they had even in
times of stress
now let's take a look at the third one
the gtin
the basically it's like very
dry so it's definitely not the
original it's very dry she's beautiful
he's beautiful let's get them together
they recognize each other they she said
how can I do that I'm a daughter of
a he said how can I do that I'm a son of
a CO so they recognize each other when
only
sh this entire story is very strange you
want to tell me that they that they they
put them after Sunset so I don't know
let's say sunset today 7:45 so they put
them together in the room at 9:00 900
p.m. okay Al is 4 405 I know Z is 554
okay no they are there for 7 hours they
cry and cry
they don't recognize each other by The
Voice A and B for seven hours they CED
none of them talk to each other and say
like why are you who are you from you
know what's the problem here obviously
you see that this story is not so what's
the idea here in what's the lesson that
we need to learn like why
why or the the the author of this of
this paragraph in thear what does he
want us to lament on on
what on the loss of what Humanity of two
children who had so much future PO he
could be Coen she could be marry another
Coen G or whatever it
was and we lost
it go to the first one excuse me I just
ask in this generation how many
just one or
more don't understand the question just
one coh over the time until he died
pardon until he died in the second mdash
there were too many because they
couldn't finish the year because they
bought it many of them bought it inash I
think they were only or something like
that in the mdash
were because it also doesn't make sense
because if one person says they the
daughter or the son of
then the other one's got to know if he's
a son or daughter they must be related
right agree but it can be that even in
one generation they can have more than
one I mean the guy died whatever it is
not because of his sin just old age are
very CL agree I
understand so when you look at the at
the first
one the in the Kina obviously there is a
buildup for what for how beautiful they
were why do you think there is such a
description makes you feel for
the everyone like good looking
people that's what it is those that are
jealous of
them it's human nature so there is a
buildup towards they are so beautiful
they are so beautiful and to put them
together it would be wonderful if they
were not brother and sister right the
potential of beautiful
children right so it's something that we
are all like wow wow wow and we put them
together and
then they are
crying and he the boy says I'm a
descendant of Aon and she said I'm a
descendant of what of Y how can we what
get married okay I'll be
together the problem with this
the problem is that each one of them is
so focused on what on themselves they
don't see each
other which is part of the issue of
mikdash not being able to see the other
thinking that you are the most beautiful
person not only externally also
internally you know what the naiv says
the in his in his introdu to seph seph
is is called also
sephar the book of the upright it says
who are the upright the upright are ab
and why are they called upright yesim
because they knew how to behave not only
to theirselves and to others but also to
the
non-jews that's what the na says and
then he
says in the time of the bet mikdash the
second
mikdash there were
but they were not yes that's what the na
says they were righteous but they were
not upright what does that mean says the
na it's unbelievable what he says he
says when I saw another Jew who didn't
behave and acted exactly like
me he couldn't accept him not only
couldn't accept him not only criticize
him I will kill
him that's what the naiv says naiv quote
they will go and beim they will slander
them to the Mal or they will kill them
by by themselves but but it's confusing
because when you say
sikim what that infers that they're
righteous so they're
not means today don't forget there is no
m rules of of so I keep Shabbat the way
I keep Shabbat that I got it from my
parents and from the rabbi so and so and
you keep Shabbat ly but then you don't
accept my way and you start bed mouthing
me and if you can you can even kill me
what is the definition of a sadik sadik
likeed he's doing what he was told to do
not a sadik like a sadik yeah not a
sadik of our
like go by the justce so that's what the
na says which is
scary it's scary when you think about it
the idea is what is that these two
people people each one of them comes
with a lineage and everyone is think
about him or herself like the descendant
of whoever but when they cry and they
cry all night none of them think that
what maybe I should approach the other
person who is crying and ask him what
why are you
crying and
then when they recognize each other only
when the morning comes but that's too
late why is that too late
because in a minute the Masters are
going to what to open the door and say
no are you pregnant right so it's it's
not going to I mean that's it their time
is up so then they they kiss each other
whatever they they hug each other which
by the way here it says
only only hugged each other in this in
the midash it says what kissed each
other cried with each other hugged each
other you see how they a brother and
sister and in the B he basically says
what he it's very dry recognize each
other hugged each other and cried
together that's it now if you take a
look in yel that's where the p in the
mid came from so it says like
that page two y per y has we don't know
too much about this prophet yel
but he says the
following going to be those days which I
will uh um bring the Exiles back to back
to so I will gather all
the and I will bring them down to the
valley
of I'm going to judge them for what they
did to my people that they spread them
all over the place and that they they
divided my
land and they basically threw a lot on
my
nation here is the meaning I going to
judge them for everything that they did
to my people that they exiled them that
they divided the land and that they sold
the boy for prostitution and the girl
for
wine why why blame blaming them why is
he blaming the D
people decreed that this should happen
he decreed that the Jewish people should
be exiled and the BET mikdash was
destroyed like he decreed that am Israel
will be enslaved in a foreign land he
didn't tell them to throw the babies
into the river that was their choice
that is like at least according to the
rambam
basically what did you do you you say
that what that you did my my my
commandment no you took all the spoil
you took it for yourself you enjoyed H
inflicting pain on the Jewish people so
turn to page
three verse
T second verse on the
page is going to cry he's going to Roar
from
and you can hear his voice
from and everything will be in chaos but
is going to shelter his
people he will be the strength for the
Jewish
people you should know that I am your
God that I dwell
in my Holy
Mountain will be
holy and strangers will not be able to
pass through
and
on juice will come from the
mountains from The Valleys you will have
milk and all the valleys of will have
water there will be a river
from and will have
water will beate place
so will be punished will be
punished will dwell
forever and will be perpetuate for
eternity and I will never forget the
blood that was spilled and Hashem will
dwell in now
very soon in our times but before
that this story that the midash talks
about the boy and the girl it's from
this PUK and this is very interesting
cuz you're talking about what the
expulsion the destruction the division
of the land and everything and then you
talk about
what girl boy and a girl like talking
about the national calamity and then you
talk about a boy and a
girl I think there is a point here
really good point you know when we talk
about the what do we always try to do
focus on individual to talk about one
individual two individuals three individ
but individuals because if you talk
about Millions you can't you can't grasp
it so what do you do is you take one
person you learn about him or her and
you'll get
connected the same thing here even
though it's more than 2,000 years and we
are a little distance from it but the
idea of what kazal did which is
brilliant they take a boy and a girl and
you know what if it happened or didn't
happen exactly like the the way it's
described this is not the point the
point is that you focus on what on two
children always children has tremendous
potential and especially if they are so
good-looking and everything that the
generations to come and they are
descended of
ofen and look what happened to them so
first and foremost the fact that you
have lineage and everything does not
mean that what that you will escape a
Calamity a
b God does not only focus on National
Calamity God also cares about what those
individuals and I think this is a
tremendous lesson for us because
sometimes you just lose the ability to
sense and to feel when he talks about so
many people but when it comes to
individuals then you can focus more and
feel more so this
like about
Bas focus on on each and every
one but it's more than he cares he cares
about every individual and because
sometimes you say okay no it's the
nation but no no he cares about every
individual and the lessons that we can
learn from all the different types of
stories is definitely the one that I
really like to focus on is the idea of
sympathy and empathy even at times of
darkness and this is the second the
Second Source that shows us how he
approached her and in a way in exchange
for the sympathy she showed him when he
was what when he was a young when he was
a young child that's for today
