this is rabbitheim jackder on behalf of the orthodox union's oldav project continuing in our series entitled bringing helcos erevin and masekis aravind to life in this video we're going to supplement our discussion from a previous video on heir of khaseros this video we're going to be speaking about shiraz russias this is spoken about in many places in massachusetts aravin this is what's this is what supplements the heir of hatseros because the heir of hatseros is insufficient for jews who are not believing jews or for non-jews in other words the heir of god hatseris works only for jews who believe in the tarshival path believe in the effectiveness and the effect of the heir of katseros those who don't believe are not included in the heir of hatseros and if you have people in the community who are not observant or not jewish it's insufficient to conduct the heir of khazeros you also must conduct a shus you have to rent all the areas owned by a non-jew so if let's say an area that's a great rishi that you make a heir of hatseros and you have 10 people living there five people religious five people are not religious five of the homes are owned by by religious jews five longs are owned by non-religious jews you have to rent the homes from each of the non-religious jews now if you have a community era you can have thousands and thousands of homes that are that are owned by non-jews how are you going to conduct skiers for shuts or non-observing jews how are you going to conduct this on with with so many non-religious jews and non-jews so the arch the hoskins like the rivas the rivash came out with a ruling says that it's it's acceptable for us to conduct the skirs with the ruler of the city in which you can present him with something that's worth at least a pruta and you can give give him at least a bruta and rent the entire area for religious purpose purposes from that sarah year it's as if you rented it from all of all the all the individual homes from all the individual non-jews or non-observant jews and this is what we do today there's a lot of discussion about the application for today and we have that in our book uh walking the line on hill close aravind we have a extensive discussion of scarce for sure especially to the current environment but nonetheless the in in in practice what at least in the in the united states and israel actually all over will conduct with one of the uh officials in the town this debate whether to use the mayor to use the the police whether you use the fire chief i personally prefer to use the county executive and that's endorsed by rehearsal schefter and remordecai willing they both felt that's acceptable to rent the entire county from the county executive that's what i prefer to do because when you make a community error of many times the error encompasses not just one municipality but many municipalities and sometimes you don't even realize that there are other municipalities included in the are and therefore scarce is just with just one mayor is going to be insufficient to make sure that you are covered by your skewers or sustained covers all the jurisdiction i like to use i like to rent the entire county and to just demonstrate exactly how one would go about doing this i have my son ben yemen who is going to be acting as a county executive of such and such county of john doe county and i'm going to approach him and i'm going to explain a little bit and thank him thank you mr county executive of of of of john doe county thank you for helping the jewish community and we what i'm going to do is i'm going to present you with a dollar and with the dollar i'm going to be here by renting uh all for religious purposes all of john doe county for a period of 20 years is that acceptable to you mr county executive yes well thank you very much well we're as i'm acting on behalf of the entire jewish community of such and of john doe county and now i'm going to say as follows and this will conduct the ceremony right now with this dollar that i am giving you i hereby on behalf of all the jewish community i hereby i'm renting for you all of john doe county for a period of 20 years and if in case we free the jewish community forgets to do the renewal in 20 years from now we have an automatic renewal for 99 years thanks so much thank you thank you mr county executive now there is considerable debate for the length of time for the scarecrow just for the rental rehearsal shafter prefers that we do it actually netel is instructing me to use 20 years the guidance of how exactly to conduct this skirmish is from rehearsal the uh there's considerable disagreement about the amount of years many permit much more than than 20 years and the backup of the automatic renewal is something that rav mordecai willig told me that he found acceptable and therefore i like to do it i like to look at but then keep create a backup in case we forget to renew 20 years down the line so we've illustrated a little bit about sahara swishas and this is a project of the orthodox union aldaf rabbit heinjachter continuing a series on bringing jojo's irvin and miseka's irvin to life
