Introduction To Derech Emunah (1) - Rav Chaim's Seforim Explored (Part 8)

[Music] welcome back rabbi dr elijah brought as we continue our series on refrain kanyevsky's forum and this one is going to be a bit different in the sense that i think we've come to one of khayyim's safarim that's going to take quite a few podcast episodes to really go through well and that's the safer derek amuna and i mentioned in the past that him has on his caver he's called the baldaraka moon i don't know the history for that but that's what it says on his caver so i would assume that that was a safer that was especially khabib in his eyes it was certainly well yes will tell us what it is it's basically a full-fledged mishna brewer beer halacha character and style safer on the rambam hills rayon and that's what we want to talk about today and it's interesting because missionaries the mission of yami are learning going through the museum so it's very interesting for those that are learning as well i'm looking forward to this we're going to start now with just an introduction to darakamuna which rabbi brothers already told me there's going to be at least two parts we're going to go through like we've done in the past when we discussed the spharma we've gone through a history of how the lean motor was learned through the generations when the mushynam were written how they developed and so that will focus on in this first part the roshanim through the 1880s and then the next part will be from the 1880s and on through the 1900s until we get to darakumuna which was published in the early 1980s so with that hadamard rabbi eliezer how are you today and before you start i just want to read as has become a minute i don't think it's a minute because if no one sends emails i'm going to be in trouble but we got some nice nice messages and i want to read a couple of them before we begin i know rabbi brad is very humble so please bear with us so somebody writes an old friend of yours he says he's an old chiver of yours from yeshiva torah said it's good to hear from you again after all these years says even then you were the safer sage so i'm really enjoying the shuriman swarm i listened to six already he says he stumbled upon them visiting aldaf your yada the word you like to use your yada is truly amazing i proudly tell people i know you from yeshiva terra try to make muslim part of my learning on my commute to work i feel he's qualified these he says he feels disqualified as muslim learning okay mr schmusin as well they bring us closer to the ways of the goddess royal so thank you for that very interesting one he says i love you shuriman oldav he says i just left the business world to go back to kylo well maybe on all of us we should have the opportunity to go back to cuddle um and he says he's looking forward to anything that you have he's going to give us now and any content material you know about your vomit please send them he says please keep your fascinating serum coming because i meet people and start schmoozing and mention your shirum i would think i'm telling them something they don't know about some of them even that i didn't think have access right away they say i love them fascinating and one more somebody else writes he says i love every word you say cause i gain so much from your lectures he even collects your interesting sources in one note so he could look them up and file everything away thank you again for your lectures and responses so everything that said here a second and thank you very very much i'm sure there's a lot of preparation that goes into any one of this urine and again anybody wants to sponsor any of the episodes please reach out to myself shwadem ou.org and again any questions comments suggestions send either myself or eliezer brought gmail.com with that introduction okay so jump right in tell us about zeraliam's royal is a seder in the shishito mishnah which is not learned as much as by far as much as the other stardom it doesn't even have shastavali so take us back to the beginning okay so i feel that in when in order to fully fully appreciate on some level the moon we have to move back to zooming out to say there's rom before and with this we'll have a better understanding what makes his work so unique so special basically like this drum was not so that was a reason that some suggested that it wasn't learned so much over the years and that's why there's no pavli on drum but if that's the case why is there baby uncut so it so obviously it's not clear there's not a cl we don't have a clear answer why there's badly on certain parts that you saw me in other parts but bottom line is um this is discussed at great length by professor yakuzman and his doctorate but we don't have a good answer why why it is what it is a lot of the a lot of issues relating to the talmud as that as we have it is mysterious but what we do know is we have um you shall me on ziran and the safety and israel besides the mishnahs so we have very early hebrew to help us learn even though we don't have the babri fast forward to the times of the rashinum it's already in the there was a region rabitschook was who seems from what we know is active in the years 10 he's born in 1090 approximately dies approximately 1160 and he wrote a massive heber on now this work was only first printed in the 1880s when chas vilna was trying to print out the mishnais and with all different things so i've mentioned in the past that they went to look for new manuscripts and materials this is how they added rabbinic which eventually we'll discuss more and other materials so one of the things is they added we milk inside they come so this helped we now had an early reaching on drum because as i said there's not as i'm going to as i'm going to document shortly there's not so many re-shining on zero mice in 1975 machon thomann israeli prints a much more expanded version of the we malkie zadek and andrea and one could get it today and even though it's on found the gemaras on the side of the tomorrow but the gemmart's incomplete and this man these are based on more manuscripts there's much more text okay we know besides for the remarkable zedek a little later is the rambam everyone knows the rambam first of all parish mishnais he has a persis running through and the arakazaka has tons of material he has all the halal and this is actually what we're going to get to eventually writes his parish choosing the rambam and other people do the same the random dies in 1204 and literally in since around those years we have another region from the bali at isis one of the greatest talmudim of the riyad zakin the rashmichahants and the rashmichahants besides for writing christmas and isis on chasse writes a massive work on drum the rashmi shanson drum and it's printed already in the early printings of the shasta 1523 from bamberg and pretty much eventually it stays on the side of the gemara if you buy a tama beverly so when you have when you get this rum you'll see on the side you have your rashmi shots what is he nifter he's nifter in 1214 we know this based on a document that was discovered um a few in recent years professor tashmap printed it and know exactly when he died which is 12 14. where does he die in earth israel some people even tie that the reason why this region wrote an extensive hebron's run was because he knew he was going there to israel and at that time it seems as even a legend brought down in in certain sperms shaving me hugo actually i'm not sure it's trevor um brings down that um 300 rabbanim went out israel in those years one of them we now we don't know if 300 actually went or what the levels of all three hundred but we definitely do know that the rashmichahans ends up in eritsen's troll and he dies there in 1214. all this has been discussed at length in a beautiful article from professor frank carnivore now the rashford chance was also into tyrus and we have we have his parish on tires and even as a very recent the past few years discoveries of more pieces of his oils have been found and came out as a work not only is the rashmichahan serrition that made a territory stroll and writes a fever relating to israel we have at the same time the safer troomer also one of the great ballet he also abal tysis from the valley of places and it's based on the same document that i quoted earlier from tashma we know that he dies and arts israel in 1211. so in his safer tumor he has a section called and it also has an it helped hazards israel it would seem that a motive behind writing it was because it was going to be actually that he was going through stronghold he wanted to be prepared um about arts israel anyway the seifer truma has been discussed a lot recently in a beautiful book for a terrorization from professor simcha emanuel and a talmud of his um yellow freeman put out a lot of work on this rachuma and he reprinted the parts of the hilcasarty straw based on all the manuscripts and one could see um the significance of it but what's important is here we have vishaynam that actually came there at israel and they lived there we're not sure how many years and they had some type of they we have it till today some type of hebrew on earth israel from the safe rooms and we and rashford shots we have a mammography indica pharaoh parish on israel okay the story continues with the safer cafetera now the safer capital referral based on dates inside the burke book we could date it it seems that it was finished in 1322 now this safer is a game changer for areas of artistro basically it's 60 chapters which has an everything and anything that's related to israel plant but not only geography um plants he basically toured most of arizona since he was isaac and the savage israel we had an incredible library we have no idea how he had so many sperm it's a it's a mystery and it's a beyond impressive work these 60 chapters the the the daily apisk in such as the base yosef the mabit especially the red vas they have it the revised brings it down they had it and the rabbis brings down many times rama also quotes it sometimes but the was still considered rare um it's first printed in 1548 and it's not even clear who is that we know a little bit who is rabbi and more possibly and but it's still it's a mis the work is a mystery we all we do know is that he literally was in our every part of its role and he lived there and we have information about arts throughout that time which is also very rare um it's printed in 1548 and then it goes it takes a bunch of years till 1851 is when it's next printed again and then in 1897 and then in hours in the 1900s it's been printed a few times um sometimes with extensive beer one of those buren um one beer that was written on it was from the great review official parallel an incredible incredible beer similar to his famous beer on the rasag of sarigay sadly he did complete the work but only a small percentage survived and that's percentages of quite a few hundred pages so if it's a shame it seems that what happened was after his nifter was sent back to europe and this was in the beginning of world war ii and it got lost it's a it's a it's a it's a mystery and a very sad mystery but the actual safer was printed by meister of cook and what we do have is incredible and it's only on a few procurement of the catholic affair anyway fast forward uh many years later and which i guess for practical purposes headed by rafati puts out the three massive volumes beautiful volumes are available on hebrew books today um based on the manuscripts with a beer with a bunch of chapters in the back explaining all different things and and it could be that we will get to some aspects in the capital affair dealing with rokan kaneoski in other um episodes relating to the moon but there's but justice could die to mention it now and besides for this um this very sophisticated edition from kailua there's there was also even recently a canis chemist where they had a bunch of lectures from all different people people fascinated about this cafeteria and it was printed as a book also um okay i can very shown him what there is on jerome but pretty much besides for this there's not there's not too much there's no rippers what we're used to with for raj veron bands and all the or many others farm there's not really too much acting okay so the question is so when did it become a topic so i thought um that in the times of the basia isif when there was a lot of hidden and basically one of them living in smash and there was a big jewish community there we know a lot about this jewish community that then it will become a big topic and there will be some hiburum already then written about mitsubishi's bars anyway there are some troubles written at the time some of them you could see in mayor benillo's work on on the base days of kolyasa bahiri some of them relating to shemitah from bose hutter in his book his excellent work on shemitah but pretty much does not work as far as maybe a manuscript but i'm not i don't think there is a work that specifically deals with mrsa please and strange however in the times of the base yosef in space there was a yid also from the girish varan the rash syrilov and he wrote a massive work on you shall need zero and um he's the subject of a whole doctorate and betsal the blitzky wrote a whole in a recent issue of minaganasan from shalom made a discovery of some more materials of his he also wrote a very nice introduction about sirloif anyway he wrote intense the ian dikka perish on your mostly xiaomi's run is even though he's taking your size which they also deal with and it's in the times of the basis and they say it seems to use it sometimes which is also contemporary also use it sometimes okay but sadly this massive work was not printed this massive saviat seems to have gone to the hands of hiba at one point and some others um they trace it they know they know some of the stops where this manuscript went and in 1875 the famous marcus lehmann who to us is famous for writing a bunch of novels but he was also hush of a rav wrote swarm prince from manuscript the last serial of ombrachus this is in 1875. but zrum the rest is rum is not printed and we'll get to when it gets printed because it only gets printed starting the in the 1930s okay but we'll return to that soon anyway so so here we're bringing it up to the truth of the basis and people living in artistrol in smash and we don't see them writing or publishing maybe they wrote but we don't have complete work so i'm it's just a police box okay anyway um looking around i see in 1735 one of the chasses that was published at the time um i think it was in a shasta they printed it as a separate volume but it could be it was related to our shasta they found in the library where david uppenheim um the rush also had some type of perish on it seems to be a kitser of the rashmichahans it was printed in 1735 today it's found um that eventually is printed on the site in the ville nougat mars and they have more manuscripts and some parts of it was printed okay but but but the question remains this is getting us into the 1730s is there any point that all of a sudden zron becomes a big thing i would have thought in the times of the basic but from what i see and i if someone could point me to as many sources i would love to see them i'm not i i can't i'm this is all new to me i i will confess i'm learning this for the first time as i'm going through these topics with rokan kanievsky um so i think that it starts with the vulneradon but and this is and my reasons is this files basically the village was one of the people that we know where he goes full-fledged to learn colo tarakula and what it means called tarakula means from beginning to end not just talmud means madrashi hazal yorushalmi we have um shirum or notes of the guru on gans it's found in the mishnah's standard missionaries wrote it these are discussions beyond the scope but we have the village going through israel we have on your xiaomi um we have his notes on xiaomi and we even have today incredible discoveries and private collection the you shall meet with the guys of the gra and this has been the subject of recent work from yadidya franco and zalman koren they've published their works in various journals such as yeshurin and academic journals also they put out only on xiaomi bikram where they show through unbelievable work the significance of every tag ship a tag of a line what the gram means it's it's incredible to see um what they what their what they do what they're directing it showing after one has a havana of the sugya very clear they shall need if they related gomaris and whatever all the materials to see what the bra is doing from like four little dashes it's it's it's mind-boggling he's given many chiropractors also and he only due to lack of funds he's only put out your xiaomi kurim and then we have the tacefta we have the the graz antisepta also heber not real not really there now there were people such as the jazzy david did write about drum but again it didn't have such widespread um things i'm claiming is that the villain if i want to try to pinpoint a period of time or something that this ram is in that drum gets somewhere now i'm not claiming that the villain had a master yeshiva i'm not claiming that this has to relate to that he has me them going through all times to tell me them he did have some tummy then we'll get to shortly that are inert israel and they're also learning how to use bards and i'm not linking this to what today very famous about if the grand escala and all these types of topics which is its own um rabbit hole which i will not go down to for the sake of ahmadis for everyone um based on new evidence that's been printed in the past few years but the point is that the vilna going is is and what we from what we have we have his notes okay so now but to go but the question is when does it become the whole time i'm asking when has become if i want to know i'm about to make aliyah i'm living in 1805. i'm i'm one of the few people that wants to make aliyah there's israel and i need to know basic khalakhas mr slave what could i look at what could i use to get um to know the basics when i move territory strong so the interesting thing is someone that definitely is relating on some level to the vulnerability and i will definitely not go into why and what because that is its own series of many um there will be many lectures but it writes a hebrew in 1812 called shah r87 and he publishes it in 1812. and at first let's read the shah which is written by him where he discusses what he's going to do he says shara alif is about mitsuhara then he goes on first it says i have a section about arla klein khadesh madness and areas that are are all over shas and chocolate okay um then he goes on what's it based on he said he says if what's the taylors one could become a bucky and say it is in a short period of time what's it based on he says the succumb of the rambam and the noise of calum then certain times i don't have chat um and he brings he says i'm using also the xiaomi interceptor which we already know that there they have on then he goes there's certain materials that the ramen doesn't bring down for whatever reason but where is it it's in the rash which we'd also discussed where it comes from the tree and he i'll use a lot so here we see the fact that he's throwing you your xiaomi test after we see some gruel-like um um influence anyway he says um this is my heber that i that i'm publishing um and he publishes it in 1812. in the of the safer he tells us a fascinating piece of information of adding to this he says why am i doing this so that one is that people even people not making aliyah should know the hoserity strong just like when i just like if you use my adam you could learn or if you are there you can learn the dean and bukitzu okay then he says and he says interesting says in two or three weeks you could be a bucky because either say there's so and i'll be a mazaki rabbi okay then he says another reason why he's writing this which links to the the tragedy that happened which he records at the end of his where family members of his were killed and he made a pr at that time he made a promise that if he's going to go make aliyah to russia so now he needs to know the halakhas if he's going to go there he says he says first he says like this he says that maybe i'll be together just like um the people repsadia reverse were able to go who are these people these are okay we're not going to get into the arikas who they are this requirement was a very good friend of his or sadia is the author of the maestro and reverse now then he says he and he says important um sentences over here someone's going to go to the heart of the miller fellow doesn't know them and hug them someone wants to live there it's like he's hoping that he's also going to get there and and um and um he's hoping he's going to get territorial and these are some of the reasons behind it close to safer extensively quotes this point that i said um this last point that if you're going to live in here to throw and you're not going to know the thing and you're living in the palace of the king you're not going to know the proper allah also quotes that in his okay now but then some there's another very significant um change in addition to hillcrest eric israel and that is from one of another person that had to do with the gra although he actually not as well known he had much less to do with the gra than the adam he is the talmud of the grove soy phylum of mamish the last year last few months of the last year of his life would be scroll schlover famous going oilum who ends up moving towards israel being the head of the community in arts israel and one of the works that he writes is pasa it is simply an incredible work um whatever he printed is just amazing he also he's living there to israel he's moving towards israel and he lives near throat so obviously it's what to do so here also in the dhamma he talks about in his shower of the first edition which is printed in the 1830s he says it's based on he's printing pilgrims now he doesn't get to the rest it seems that he was going to print the volume 2 but it seems either he didn't write it or was lost i'm not sure but the inside the text is the rambam and then he collects a lot of material from the rash rasheed isis and then he says where else do i use tysefton you shall me because there there's a lot of materials and that one could get from these sources and he says and this he emphasized already in a shower from me because he's making a says with a beer aruh to explain the sugya corbasis ro and this is what he ends up printing publishing has been published a few times extensive extensive um arihos and the suggest the babalis the xiaomi's anything related possibly somehow to the suggest at hand he's got it in in his um safer now interestingly enough is it is um the safer has a beautiful abdomen um where he talks a lot about the vulnerability and that's why it's been it's a very famous agra that's been quoted all the time in all the different biographies about the vulnerability it has ordered from osiris that he had stuff that he himself saw um but relating to this safer he throws in is the he sort of has a tight on him that it's not enough grah you know um grow he's not focusing enough on the gra and if you look in the gra especially in israel it's unbelievable what's going on here and and he also brings from the set says it's unbelievable so so um the kitzer says that i'm using those materials of the village is that guys on your xiaomi toast everything and that is this work on on um eric systrom so now if we look let me stop over here we're holding in the 1830s we now have finally two works but there's two has rhinos the the adam is very bakitzer and the pasa shokhan doesn't is only half so we're still stuck in the 1830s without a complete work of mitsubishi's parts okay so this is um i would say the first part of what um gets us to um lehman's rum in in it gets us to the 1830s and trying and this the story continues pretty much there's not too much happening in drawing in this century excellent wow whether you just spoke for almost half an hour without me interrupting you um excellent so let's let's wrap up this part over here and we're going to come back we're going to come back with part two we're already holding deep into the 1800s and as you just mentioned there isn't a go-to handbook so to speak for somebody to learn and know healthcare so stay tuned come back and there's a lot more interesting information coming up thank you
