All Daf Siyum Seder Nashim in Yerushalayim

i' like to thank everybody for coming like to welcome everybody who came from far and wide first speaker is mosha sched the CEO of aldaf thank you very much ra green I'm standing here overwhelmed to give context for the it all started last Tuesday morning when my didn't show up I was sitting there my mind was wandering like all of us especially these days and I'm thinking about what's going on in ER Ro what's going on here and I'm far away in Lakewood and we're seeing and hearing people packing food and sending duffel bags and visiting and doing all kinds of incredible things toaz them and and usem we're trying to Davin trying to learn and gathers for the for the mat and I had thought I know in the past we've talked about making is it possible to make a I felt it would be for us what could we do we all know mag we all know the yesu the Mal told him to so my first call was todani conselor who I've dealt with in the past we've become good friends and I said is it possible now I did not want Jay Resnik to be involved in in this but so to make a long story short we're here tonight and I've learned something new not only is a Master maret with thousands of he's a great party planner as [Applause] well so green that I'm the CEO of olda old is a project of the OU some of you might recognize they have a symbol on the soda bottles the Coke bottles not here in AR here there ofl other places they have their symbol and some other products so the Executive Vice Presidents on behalf of the Executive Vice Presidents Raa how Josh Joseph and the president Mitch AER I just want to thank everybody for coming tonight and I want to thank the thousands of talim zakar around the world and I must thank the Rosenberg family who have dedicated the CMAs whose yard side is this shabas and for I'm sure most of us sitting around here who have heard Z give his Shear every single Shear starts off and zaka could do it much better than I could the she should be learned in memory leas and this of us gathering together to be and learning you I'm thinking people are taking on new things more things so some people listen to Z on double speed maybe if you listen to him on single speed spend a little more time learning maybe that counts I also wanted to mention yose hendler who sponsored today's learning on all da in honor of the the so thank you and of course I have to thank the sh for opening up the the name of the is out there in the world zuker and I've met the gab here and zar I just heard about if I'm here for Bening this is the place to come for Bening and every and every is needed with all the and all theas so the should have a and continued we have very speakers I didn't come to speak to say the very I just I felt appropriate to share one medish which many people have heard of many people know it but it's very appropriate it's a MAG in this week's para the tah says after went back the asks the who where was so the says where did go after that says sent him to shame to learn the me brings a mus mus there was a mus mus to a woman who became wealthy from her knitting I think it is she said since I became wealthy from doing this job I'm Never Gonna Leave This Job everything that has come to me until now was only because I was don't want this ever to leave my children so what am I doing now after Thea I'm sending to learn by shame is a very long that brings out on a unbelievable madga level of what is but I just wanted to bring out one point this is this is arguably the most impactful event that has happened clol in history is what we say in daving what we use this just took place what does tell us was only because of my my doing is how I was to have and therefore immediately after I I'm not complacent going right back to the yes right back to the in just what does this brings that tells us that this came even after a person goes through what does he do immediately afterwards he goes back to and goes back to learn Tyra so with that I believe we ready for the see him would like to call up Z but one thing I have to say before actually gets up that the the amount the amount of of people that I meet around the I shouldn't say around the world I I'm not a big traveler everywhere I am just from sitting here and talking to people the different ways people interact with learning Z listening to Z and one person okay I'm have to thank Hashem that I remember because this person literally needs the biggest thank you he's not here tonight and his name is Ari lurman I don't know if people know who he is or heard of him but I'm sure some people know who he is Ari lurman is the person who has introduced zakay Resnik to the world if if it is another person Zay please let me know he introduced him to the world we're not going to get into all the details of how and there's nothing that gets out there today without Ari lurman so Ari I'm sure you'll see this at some point Thank you before I got on a plane Tuesday morning morning I live in Lakewood I went to be somebody very very sad story this person is a working young man who was a little older than me I knew him from yiva probably hadn't spoken to him in 20 years anything more than two words you know meet him by a dinner say sh that's it his wife passed away suddenly he has a daughter he's marrying off next week he brought him two kids fromel terrible terrible tragedy so I walked in I walk in these are his first words you're going to help me get through get you're going to help me get through this so I looked at him what did I do so he says this is there's a person he showed me he learns there's a something called the Doan method it's a whole program where you Kaz six seven Dam a day going through a program withar we're talking about a buy and CH and he tells me he shows me his chart he's the middle of Shiva he shows me his chart he says and he shows me his gumar the things that he has underlined says I can't look CU I'm middle of middle of Shiva and he says that this is my schedule he's telling me how his wife who just passed away what she gave for his learning what that she has and he says when I when I can't do it myself I do it with z and then he tells me I just took on he says I just started with the new Yi cycle I learned says this I'm not ready having gone through all these and I'm not doing the do method and you shall me but my first my first entry into you shami learning has been the few minutes today listen to sh I just want to bring out what what you doing to help people that you don't know and this of all these people growing and stagging and learning should be for you and of course your family your children that are sitting there should realize what they're giving up and what's and what kind of you bringing to the [Applause] world thank you very much for those very kind words appreciate it thank you for thank you for not only being here tonight but for initiating this entire thing as you said Tuesday last week this was not even a havina and Raa initiated started the planning and then once it was started it took off on its own and bar we are all here tonight at this wonderful beautiful malum that was I really I really said the word malas just because I wanted to segue into the next thing which is as you can see we have malas choir over here thank you very much for joining us Mish last minute and it's important to it's important to know why we have Mal's choir besides the fact that they're fantastic we initially were going to have live music which is obviously tends to usually be more gmak when you have live music and from the because of the that we're in right now in it's not a simple it's not a we're all gathered together for we should definitely be but we always have to have all of amist all in mind and definitely there's people we all know that we have soldiers and in Aza and up north as well that are on the ground fighting hard to defend us and keep us safe as well so we're doing our part learning Tyra and daving doing as many mes as we can but it's not a simple situation and so this is the reason why we it we're not why we switched yesterday to be able to have um the very fine choir for being here and being in the way that you are able to okay now so so so there's a there's a comedian that used to say a joke he says that he was once sitting in an interview and the interview or asked him so where do you see yourself in five years so he responded celebrating the fifth anniversary of you asking me this question and so obviously at an interview that's very funny because they want you to tell them you know what you project where you're going to be in the company how you going to help help them improve and how you're going to be betting how they're going to be better and so it's it's funny for a joke and for a comedian but really that's what a y's response should be if anyone asks if if a person asks you where do you see yourself in 5 years I don't know celebrating the fifth anniversary if you ask me this question because I have no idea where I'm would be in five years five years ago I never would have imagined that from a personal standpoint I would be making a c on half of Shas and even maybe know a few of the blood along the way which is which is for me which is it's a it's a huge Sim I know that I started I I made I set my mind to start Chas at least three times prior and wasn't successful I think I might have made it to like so this is a a very very big Sim personally for me for my family as well for my wife and the kids and it's a very big simp to be able to be celebrating it with everyone here as [Applause] well if I can make a request when I pause that doesn't necessarily mean clap it just means I'm catching my breath so uh just a few hakar Ates are are definitely necessary along the way uh first of all obviously mentioned that the the would definitely not look like it does definitely would not look anything like it does right now if not for um it being sponsored nishmas marsam have a very big Aliyah the friends the family the re that have encouraged me along the way to be able to get to the point where we are right now a huge to everyone uh ESP it's really special to everyone but special from my heart to to an in and to the and the for encouraging and for you allowing it allowing the SC to happen here and allowing many other things to happen in my personal life and my life along with friends and kahila as well so a very big and last but not least to my dides denal green for helping arrange the very fine details of the seum anyone that's part of the kahila anyone that's part of the kahila knows that we have many beautiful events in the Kila and there's many daily things that go on and denil is the one that runs them and he takes care of them you're like okay denil is great he's fantastic you know but you you don't realize how much goes into it and this this uh CM planning I got a real taste of what danil goes through on almost a daily basis so a very warm and personal Yash to um did Nai on the side I would like to as we're M I'm just going to share a few a few words that I was that I shall say inspired me at the at the end of learning this m the last mishna the the mishna ends off with with with the same thing the gamar ends off with the famous G famous I'm GNA lift this up so I can actually see it I leave allness all crafts all occupations to the side and I only teach my son Ty why why would he do that a person eats from the of in this world but the principal is for the world to come but all other crafts occupations are not like that when a person comes to be sick or old or there's some challenge in life is not able to get involved in his work he can't do his work he dies in hunger and then we continue I just it bothered me that just immediately learning this Mna for the first time I'm I don't I don't understand if you don't have an occupation you're just learning Tyra how are you going to support yourself you're probably going to be m b of quicker than if you had an occupation but then just weren't able to be involved in it at some point in time furthermore what does that mean that your occupation should be Tyra on earlier on we learn that a person has to have an occupation a father has a to teach his son an occupation if not he's considered it's like he's teaching him how to be a robber a person has to be able to support themselves it has to have some sort of parosa so you're going to say I would is thinking okay it's not a problem so you'll be in Kyle you'll be Reby you'll give Shir maybe this here or there you'll work it out somehow and that's how you're going to support yourself okay so that's no different than having a regular omness that's not a Tyra based omness if a person is not able to be involved in it if he's not able to learn he's not able to if there's a sickness an old age whatever it is so viter he ran he runs into the same issue he's not going to be able to support himself perhaps fairly a simple question but that's what as I was literally reading the mishna for the first time that's what fell into my head like there's something what what's the mishna saying and then I realized short while later that the mission is not speaking about physical sustenance it's not talking about your actual job that pays your bills and that's how the money comes into your bank account that's not what the Miss is referring to right beforehand the Miss says that M tells us right beforehand the a man of money you make has nothing to do with the profession you have the occupation you're involved in it comes from Hashem so you just dive into Hashem so the physical sustenance of a person is being spoken out at the beginning of the mishna at the end of the mishna I believe that it's speaking about the spiritual drive that a person has what gets a person out of the bed in the morning you you wake up in the morning you swing your feet off the bed and and you have to go on in life you have you're going to you're going to move forward you're going to put one foot in front of the other what keeps you going in life what keeps you excited to go about as they call it the Daily Grind so if it's a person's omness that's great often a person has you hope that you hope a person has a job that they like and so it's exciting and it keeps them going and they love their job maybe they like crunching numbers maybe they're a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant or they're a contractor or whatever it is that they do and they really love it and it's really exciting and that's what keeps them going in life the problem is they're going to run into an issue because when they get sick or old or youur B so so there's nothing left what's going to be they they're not able to be involved in that which they love very much Tyra Tyra is not like that we know that Tyra is compared to bread Tyra is compared to water a person's food in essence that keeps their soul going which really keeps them going is Tyra if I'm not mistaken it's aam cyer I think the r has said it multiple times I think it's CER that says how did when was up in for 40 days how did he see how did he survive he survived off of Tyra the Tyra the the the if if you will the spirituality of Tyra kept him alive physically says that again if I'm not mistaken of P when p is sh a person needs to eat how are you going e ready past the sh the six hour you're not all to eat you're not allow to eat Kal you're not allow to eat bread what are you supposed to do for Shas you could eat there's many different ways to do it you can sit and learn Tyra for shus and that is considered like you ate if you learn you learn properly it's considered like you physically ate T is a person's food when it says in the Mish that a person is going to be M of that means he's going to die of a spiritual hunger and that leads we know when a person doesn't have anything in him spiritually to to help him get along so physically it's downhill from there as well when a person has Tyra he has everything we know was given was given to one is called the is called Tyra is food bread is Tyra m is Tyra when a person makes Tyra part of their life that's that keeps them going in every situation I just heard an incredible Misa from someone from the kahila he has two brothers that are serving down south and you know the soldiers are sitting around they don't you know before they before they went in to have all their missions there's tens of thousands of soldiers kind of sitting and waiting for orders even now I don't think the whole Army is down south there's people waiting there's maybe shirat there's a lot of time to sit around and not do much so what are you supposed to do what are you what's supposed to occupy our time so the the the the more religious soldiers that have Ty in their life so they took outar and they started learning there are secular soldiers that never heard of gamar never looked at a gamar never learned anything this this this yid from from the kahila said that his brother told him that you have you have soldiers that never have seen gamar before never learned gamar before never heard of it before they're sitting in the learning Tyra what keeps you going in a time like that when you a person's a person's in the Army and they're fighting and there's challenges there what's going to keep them going what's going to what's going to how are they going to I was thinking somewhat of maybe perhaps a corny pun how are you supposed to go from one strength to another how do the soldiers do such a thing like that when they have Tyra so they have everything a person's Tyra keeps them going on in life I've read this fascinating story a number of years ago that happened after the two daami cycles ago so obviously whenever whenever there's a c masas there's tons of people and there's always there's always a big a big rash in the Jewish World about the C masas and even the secular press picks up on it and often they'll say the Jews finished their page a day and they made this whole get together for it a conservative Jew discovered that there was a that there was a c masas there was some some sort of idea of learning a page a day he didn't know anything so for whatever reason it could be his P his told him that maybe you should do something so he decided to start learning Dai okay he hasn't had an art scoll there was no Al by then so he didn't have any he somehow found a way to start learning dami every day in the way that he knew day after day week after week him his wife his kids everyone they got involved in dami a short while later a few months into the cycle he got diagnosed with Yan and his life was turned upside down zna yurin K everything came the whole mishna came tumbling on him at once and he he he recounted in this in as in this article that he wrote he said he would not have survived he would not have survived if he didn't have in his life sometimes he had family sometimes he had friends helping him maybe his community came along but for the most part of the day when a person's sick in the hospital he's there by himself and a person get depressed and we know that when that's not a good that's not a good situation he said it literally kept him him and his family going learning the every single day this is something that when we realize how much Tyra impacts our life that's a real lesson for us to bring it into our lives and this is not only people that are in the Army and this is not only conservative Jews this is for Yeshiva light as well because a person has three sadar in Yesa KY Yeshiva wherever they are but in between those sadar basar what occupies a person what what what takes up a person's time what takes up a person's head space his mindset what does he want to do he has been a person have been as man him B his Min person has to he has to recharge his batteries he should go on trips and whatever this he's going to do but there's there's 24 hours today in B his minim you're not occupying yourself with trips for 24 hours maybe you are that's pretty impressive but we have a whole B of man we have y we have chabis when a person makes Tyra his life when he makes Tyra his his his Essence when he makes it his nness when he makes it his craft his occupation and that's his whole focus in life it totally changes his life around there they told they asked reld why don't we cancel b manim b is such a waste of time people are wasting so much time what what are you doing B his manim cancel B manim I don't know maybe the Yesa could take trips together from time to time but there's no reason to have Bay manim it's you have yiva light not doing anything for a while so he said first of all some some people need to play basketball so let him play dur bism he said but more than that if you want to see who's truly dedicated to Tyra who really made Tyra their very essence who really made it their omness you look at you look at a Yesa guy during B manim you see what he's doing what he's focused on if he's making it a point to learn he's making a point to to to have a Sedar every single day that's something that's that's a person whom you know is a real that that's that's a real beny who really made Tyra his omness and conclude with uh uh mea that that that's within my family there's there's a there's a person in my extended family who's still in Yeshiva he's still learning he's a huge and about 15 years ago if I'm not mistaken he took on something called his hour he has his hour what's his hour he decides that he's going to learn at least an hour a day and when I heard about this it was a pellet to me because what do you mean he he learns 15 hours a day why is he learning at least an hour a day what's what's thees in that and I realized and he never explained to anyone he always had his hour he had to learn his hour whenever it was and I realized later on as his kids Grew Older and he's making Bar Mitzvah and brisam and birthday parties and kids are sick and this and that and there's B manim he made sure to learn one hour every single day no matter what the situation was it could be 1:00 in the morning he was sitting there learning that hour waking up early late B Bas when during B manim he made sure that he had his one hour a day no matter what now he's a ding so in bezin could be busy this and that could not get to Yesa perhaps the whole day he makes sure to learn his hour every single day when a person's omness is their Tyra when their craft their occupation is their Tyra it lasts them when they're younger and when they're older no matter what zik he has Tire in his life and particular at this point in time I believe that especially we see this incredible Resurgence of people being we have tens of thousands of pairs that were given out thousands of pairs of that were given out an incredible amount of of desire and Cha people have for Li for connecting for connecting to is something that we can all and should all bring into our lives on a personal level to make our as much as possible and with that we should be to see the true Nim spe for [Music] foree did Nai I'm humbled before him world renowned have here in the his to his his his sense of humor his is definitely you know definitely one of theud here of the and we're very fortunate and we're hearing more and more stories I keep on telling him that London New York California I keep on hearing that uh people tell me that they tuned on tuned in and uh definitely I have advice for all of you somebody mentioned it before that uh that wasi gives the sh in order to wet your appetites to do it again properly barari is a perfectionist that at wedding appetites so he should be to complete B to complete Yi to complete and should continue and his father his both supportive and both help help you should both be to see you got thousands of thousands and thousands and they have of them thank you for all those organized this for Rabbi for coming in those who flew in and for all the members who came the we heard the main from just want to be m to the the EM is that has more to than all the other in fact who's the who's the is the in other words is is the between us and so more than all the other we see a t was that it was a every time a person learns Torah he's getting married again and again and again it's all the first marriage not a second marriage it's all the first marriage a person's getting remarried and remarried and married to through the all the time was shabas is the Torah was placed on the because that's where the Bria began to has to do with the of if that every time a person learns new could hasem says I'm carrying you on an eagle's wings one of the to reason why took us on an eagle's wings a an eagle Corr responds to an eagle is a n a bird the r says a lot of different talk about the by an eagle an eagle has to do with his the r brings down that an eagle every so often flies very high every 10 years or something he flies very high he lives 100 years and he flies every 10 years very high he goes so near the Sun that he gets burnt and then he comes down he cools himself down in the ocean and then everything starts growing again he starts becoming thises all again it's a it's a bird Rashi says in in nov think on the say that even when the gets old he's always himself has to do with his the that we just heard also talks about the the wings of Eagle the always the E is is giving us the T says I'm going to bring you to me like an eagle that you're going to be totally our connection our relationship through the to is constantly constantly this is this it's very beautiful that the says the says the where do you see the first M and so the is the T brings but he says so the first is in the is which is and that's why finishes up with that with with the when a person's young person gets old which means that even when a person gets old he's still fruitful the he's still fruitful Mal bring down he still he still pray or like the mission says in on the country but the older a person gets in to the older he gets different different different in is a constant to is a constant and a constant the is the is is CL getting married to through the to the is is is is that connection is in this week's par we have the is the first is that we to is and she says she's too old she's too old to have children The Nest that happened in this week's par is that s became young again and S had a child as s is the is s is the is the is she's the first mother that we're missak to so therefore the nest of Sor when she was old she's still young that's the connection of who's the is through the connection of to where a person is always young person gets younger and and this is this is an that everybody has to a person who's connected to person who's connected to which constantly constantly sees a fresh and a fresh connection and a fresh relationship with hem through the Torah fresh through the Tor and so [Music] that's begins with a it ends with it ends with is that is always constant a every day is a new D every day a person's moving and he's moving it's a new D and uh zakar one of the milest of zakar is that he's never boring Zar is never boring Zar learns he's not boring when he davens he's not boring also not boring live constantly was a was a he was a stillborn baby every's life was the new begins talking the first to him person say there's no there's no there's no getting old there's no getting old on the on the contrary sadik were against retirement they were against retirement you can perhaps retire from your job and learn but retirement to take life easy is that's that's that's that that's that's against the Torah the Torah is the older you get the younger you get the Torah is Praises Sor she's a she's getting younger and younger is that's something that I'm sure a lot of people get get get get hooked on to the sh of Zar he's always fresh he's always Gish and so should help you to continue to be and as you mentioned earlier is going through a difficult and we have in mind as we're sitting here we have in mind who being to be to protect us to protect that should protect them all and everybody sees and should see us as should inflict on all the who persecute us and all those who and trying to hurt us and should [Music] help am
