welcome back rabbi dr eliezer broth
what a pleasure to meet with you and
speak with you again
we're after pesach and as promised we're
going to continue discussing
the safari the legacy specifically of
this farm of rokhan kanyevsky
and we've gotten
tremendous feedback both personally and
in writing
you know when someone writes the
following
of jaimsky's pharma wonderful i must
admit that the topic didn't interest me
at first but after listening for a few
minutes you truly brought out some
incitement like this
which i i wholeheartedly agree someone
else wrote i've just finished part three
and thoroughly enjoyed it keep up with
all the digressions they helped to give
a wider and richer view of
i'm hoping that there will be many more
in this series and this is the most
interesting
um people feel this way it is no
question that you have found the
greatest way to be masked and give
tribute to your
so
you're doing something unique and
different how are you today
hashem
okay so it's nice to have you back i
know you're a man of not many words so
also
you know we try to cram everything into
a few minutes people don't like it but
let's spend some time together
we've spoken up until now about refrains
safer on the rambam about the
maharashtra
the akash rush
let's transition now to summer rochem's
farm on
today specifically we want to talk about
two interesting sparring one on tattoos
and one on the grasshoppers everybody
has heard about
the story with the grasshopper maybe
there's something else you can bring to
the table something something different
maybe a good place to start
did him have
any masaira or ashita or a mahalak
that might be a good place if you have
anything to speak on that topic
also so the answer to that question i um
which is a great way to introduce the
the next few
farm that we'll discuss which will
hopefully be more the more aloha farmer
is like this the um
already the first in the first one of
these presentations i mentioned that the
way i see it through kanewski had a
tremendous influence he was influenced
by four different
um people
he's been
by many people too and he became his own
person but he was influenced by
different things he got he took from
these
one was the villain
was the hazarish another was his father
and the fourth was the mishna brewer
now
when you um
many of his farm that he wrote we know
you we know he wrote many different song
but
they
and he wrote
some are others he wrote other halacha
works that are some are less known some
are more known for different reasons
you mentioned that
it's worth pointing out we're about to
embark on
and we're actually learning say this
right now
derek is a classic you know if anyone is
using the art school missionaries or any
perish that is mentioned all the time
all the time so hopefully we'll get to
that
right but that that we're not going to
deal with today because the dark humour
is such a unique work it needs its own
um
thing but to get to lead up to it
to discuss the less the lesser known
works in the halaqariewski
to get to the more famous ones along the
way the shaina lachrys and the
now
but but in general we see that
was very into this of of of learning
learning
now even though he's very into learning
he spells that all over the place it's
i mean say don't rely on i'm learning
this safe i'm learning this topic and
it'll say um
it's uh
muscle to
introduction but bottom line is that he
was very involved with learning all so
the question is where did where did this
come from
um so the answer is i i believe is that
as i mentioned these these different
people that had a tremendous influence
on him we find by them this
by them
this
um important aspect of learning torah
without with a with a focus of learning
alibaba
well to start with like this
the famous greatest talmud of the
village
wrote numerous hagdammus to the various
works
of the villeneuve that was published
he wrote different introductions to the
work and in each one's introductions he
talks about his rebbe and each one is
fascinating and very kedai
to um go through and you can learn a lot
about the village by reading through
these introductions
um recently a few few weeks ago the um
volume was collected all these
introductions not only of
the other of the children ligura and
other such materials and put into the
volume called the darus leo and it's
available through meister of cook
um
now in this in one of the introductions
the introduction to beer
allah which is printed in the early one
of the first works of the printed
says that one of the main kudus of the
vilna garden was
a
and that's how you've been kind of
basically learning with it's not just to
learn taira which is beyond important
especially for the
martial but it's also to learn to know
what to do
and this is rokheim alejandra saying
that this is what the village
who
um
not the scope of of this presentation
but was extremely mushbad and
was involved with the basement
and dying in vilna at the time and was
close with the
also in both of his introductions that
he wrote
on the adam emphasizes that one of the
reasons why he was writing this work is
that halacha mice have fell by the
wayside and it needs to be
it means even if one learns gemara the
whole day but if you don't learn
you're not being making certain aspects
of torah
and
and um so in the introduction of his
first introduction which is in it's not
printed in all the all the editions of
adam
and in the second introduction he called
like
which both introductions are
very to go through um he emphasizes this
the kuda of learning
um
let me just see if there's a quote here
hold on
and then that's in one of the
introductions and then in the other
introduction he says um
now it was so important so fundamental
on the shower blot of the first edition
where he talks about different aspects
of the safer also emphasizes this same
point um he says uh let me see if i can
find the russian here he said this and
this and this shire is not found in all
the in all in many of the later editions
he says
and therefore you you'll be able to be
kindest so to speak with his safe okay
now moving further along a safer a
fascinating fascinating saver called
manuka kadusa which is possibly talmud
khan belgium but definitely also
influenced from the villeneuve camp
which is a safer um a lot about
mahalimud it was written he was writing
this for how to
to learn with bar mitzvah for his own
child and others he was a mulamid and
this safer he also talks about the great
importance of learning halacha and
specifically he starts emphasizing
learning
even if let's say you're balabas
focusing more on
starting with
but why because it's so important um
to know
it comes up daily okay moving further
along obviously the mission of
um which i also said was a tremendous
impact on on
kanyevsky which will get to amir hashem
but he in his famous agama to the mishna
bureau also um also emphasizes this
nakuda that part it's not only about
learning it's also icarly
and then he says
neglected and and et cetera et cetera
you dwarf you do him and it's a very
delight to learn the introduction
who
and now sorry before you get to the
mission
brings up
when he talks about his
which is a work specifically on the
mishna brewer anyway the khazanesh who
his uncle his rabbi
also had tremendous impact on him in the
moon
he has different pieces
of
he has very um
interesting lines that are the question
always is who he's referring to but you
could see that he's very upset that the
people were learning and their being
seen
that you have to learn ideas
and he has this
in pages and pay a few different
um pieces with hasanesh was very
concerned and
safer is a safer with
learning
he doesn't spell that out but that's the
gang of the the the theme throughout
when this stopped and yeshiva exactly
and that the yeshiva world uh more is
more learning focus alumnus and whatever
this is beyond the scope of our session
today uh morgan breuer's book on the
yeshiva talks about it but
the um
the the introduction of to understand
where kankness is coming from when he
also many of his works are focused on
even though he says it's not la maison
okay very interesting introduction
so
the tooth forum we mentioned that the
outside you want to speak about today is
about tattoos and about grasshoppers so
let's start with the safer on tattoos
what's it called
how big is it safer what does it say
inside the safer i'm sure you have some
interesting anecdotes to add about how
the saver came about
yeah okay so
so first of all
the um
the safer is approximately a hot it's um
it's approximately 110 pages it's called
countris hashem
and he writes in the beginning
um he as a date when it was completed
which is in jurges
1976. okay
now as i've mentioned already in the
past where franklinski is very macbook i
think it was mark but he writes why he
wrote the different sperm that he did so
here in the beginning of this safer he
emphasizes that yet one has to know kala
tarakula
and all of tyra relates with each other
and he says that it's
even for today
and um in yara daya simon kofpay there's
not a lot of material about it
and there's a lot to add and a lot to
collect so basically he decided to go
ahead and to
collect all the material
um and put it out as a safer
now
he broke it down into
21 semanim
it's it's in the form of a type at this
it seems that um
in the dark
when he was working on drums so he
formed what's famous it's it's a very
similar look of like the mishna brewer
at this point he did not do that i don't
know
why what was behind it but this is
simply a simmon he'll talk about a topic
and then at the end of each semen he has
a conclusion
simmons what comes out from this cement
and he sums it up in a few lines very in
very uh orderly manner
now
of course he goes through everything
bahako bako as they say on the topic
starting from the
moving on tarashi all the reshainam
mantipsukim somehow get in here
madrashim
yushalni's pavli's
and everything literally everything
comes in here and he breaks it down very
very muslim what it is
um um that's um if it's
um what type it's via um doing he has a
chapter
if you have to write letters all
different things about this topic and as
i said it's broken down into twenty
one
um sections so you'll say
okay so kind of he picked found the
topic and as i mentioned already in some
of the other form he was looking for
this concept of mace mitzvah neglected
here and he doesn't throw that in for
this particular safer you'll say okay
but what does it have to do with
anything okay
we have
people in the world of kirov they are
asked these questions about tattoos a
lot but even if you're not in the world
of kirov is the areas of tattoos nager
so interestingly enough for such a type
of question we consult the great
um
with jd blood rabbi j david blight in
one of his most
maybe it's even his latest volume
contemporary logic problems so he has an
article that originally appeared as a
an article in the i think in the journal
tradition and it's called medical and
cosmetic tattooing
so first interestingly enough he has a
quote from a non-jewish source in 1953
describing that in in 1953 it seemed to
be unheard of
unusual to have um tattoos
but it seems it changed as anyone
walking around on the streets all over
cyanide israel sign america you could
see this offer
there's a famous um there's a famous
thing about tattoos and this i i do not
know i did not look into the earlier
sources of it but if someone has a
tattoo he might not be able to be buried
in a vasa virus okay it could be could
be not i don't know
interestingly enough and this rabbi
black brings that already right away in
the beginning of this piece that the
minh
who talks about
about tattoos he says he never saw a
person with tattoos but obviously today
it's very common now once rabbi
blackwell black have a piece about it
and this many rabbunum that involved the
medical field no this is there's
medical
from in the medical field this is very
negate what's in a gear for for example
in radiation oncology they do some type
of form of for targeting as rubber bike
right targeting locally localization to
assure beam alignment so you have to
make sure it's exact so they have they
use tattooing
and and now so you'll say okay great so
rabbi has throughout this he has this is
in his kedarka kaidish an amazing
chapter with incredible research and
throughout the state this this chapter
who's quoted very often
this is the aleph base in the sunya very
very thorough kedarka the kaidish
um as i said he breaks it down super
organized and he has all the materials
about it and
concludes
he ever mentions this thing i don't know
if he knew if it could in 1976 i don't
know if they had it so much
more more related but um at the end of
the safer he even has a kitser dining
okay now as i said
he breaks it down to all different
fields so i just want to focus on one
just to mention one um
thing about this that he breaks it down
into
he talks about there's a question um he
talks about la marshall as i said in one
of the previous presentations
i believe he had some influence from the
min
here he also called
and what's one of the things i mentioned
already earlier is that
was famous for having the he created
what's called the new mushbach
and he broke down uh all the phaneria
et cetera now
so here too frankieski has a question a
chapter devoted to writing uh um tattoos
on a buster of a harris
very interesting now for evan
um he talks about a few times everyone a
lot of people are very very a lot of
people very well aware with haman and
mordechai was his evidence and there was
a star written on him and he he asked me
a few times in this in the safer mcclell
somehow gets back to talking about those
madrashim about it
the kite is throwing in the middle of
nowhere this this aspect but
he then has a in the seminar he talks
about and what about writing a tattoo on
adne hasada vassarini
amaze
so obviously this is um
this gets one's attention
okay so and raphael here so after
talking about these this list he says
that's about to explain and what's a
serene
so
it seems that just like
i said that uh the killer was fascinated
with the androidness the thumptomus and
bringing it in
he had this fascination with anderson
and he walked and he so much so that he
wanted to even it's brought down a few
different places he was even gonna write
a safer bet on there so that he talks
about it in a few different
um
swarm of his and obviously the question
is what in the world is
now he never ended up writing the safer
about abner
but someone two people already did
heavily based on particularly this semen
that i'm about to discuss
and as mr young is learning
hey talks about these
now
i'm about to i mean one more second
rakhine kanyevsky gave us one of the
countries him and he said and and and
about
um
he says it's a uh
it's a beautiful thing and then he says
rakhinenski writes in a letter to this
author who doesn't write his name what
it is but when i was young i also wanted
to write a safer on an assad and even
had a name for it
laden okay
now
so this safer also talks about the
serenity now
the answer is very simple
actually it's not okay so when we
learned so as missionary
oldaf has a uh we have to throw it out
there it's not only that it's
for the missionary project is all mishna
an incredible resource
and climb these machines are being it
could be i i forgot to check if it was
just learned i just learned it uh mamas
right now if you learn client
paragraph
so right away obviously you look at the
bartender and he says
and he says no one could get near it it
kills if you get close to it and it will
trap you it's very dangerous but the way
he's in the way you look at this partner
it sounds like he's something he knew
about now
we looking at um
art scroll
in english it says as follows a certain
creature that has human-like
characteristics
it notes in the notes that they add it's
an unusual animal unknown to us today
whose face hands and legs resemble those
of a human it's attached to the ground
by a court from its navel and it draws
its sustenance from the ground through
the court if the court is cut it dies
so it seems to be some type of plant
that's alive looks like a person not
it's not a person but
according to the bartender it was very
dangerous
and it could and it even could catch
people and
kill them even according to the
bartender
sounds sounds very uh very very
interesting now
so rakhine konievsky
um
he has a question if you write a tattoo
on such a creature in this in and that's
how he gets the tattoos now it's clear
you could see already this thing there
kind of guys he was interested in it
because
i think he mentions it and i'll tell you
managed it as i said he was interested
he was interested in this thing
and also frozen these army assad as
these unique creatures and rabidalia
nadal and his safer are also frozen
about it seems they were interested in
this type of thing
um
now
i'm not going to go by richos into what
is this
just
suffice to say
that um
just to make just the all the questions
that this safer deals with
is just uh amazing about eating them
um
on shabbos what's a bra of one sees them
this is a question of if you can make a
machanah barius
why would they even create it and and
through the this safer that i've that i
have um he has letters and characters
so here kindness back to the tattoos he
talks about writing a tattoo on it and
of course replying vsp throws in some
other materials about it uh um
he brings them
that wears an interesting early source
about it in a an early majestan kuma
printed in by bubba
um and he brings down the whole piece
and he has some other sources of cajeles
rava about it
and
there's a rash you climb about her
handcast he also brings that down
and uh
anyway so that's one
aspect now what's the surreni the
surreni is
oh sorry now
just one thing just as they like as a
just to make it a drop interesting
what's this
according to some sources
so it's been very much spoken about on
the internet numerous times around
parishes
being a werewolf
and where it comes from and is this
rabbenu fry him and who is this
robinhood fry him and if you if you
don't believe in it what type of person
are you are you a good jew are you a bad
you and robina frame says it not once he
says it twice he says it three times
that pinyamon was a werewolf and his
werewolves real and are you good are you
good you're bad because you don't
believe in worlds there's so much
discussion about this on the internet
i'm not going to discuss that maybe for
all powershell which also exists we have
to throw that out there
for parches someone should speak about
it but
some macau say that
is
this this werewolf somehow okay i just
have to throw that out there
um and
was involved with urban ephraim so
that's a way to get throw in why we
could talk about it now anyway what's
the cerrini again another creature
it seems according to the descriptions
it's it's found in the tariffs guys but
it seems to possibly be a mermaid again
a topic discussed on the internet we're
not going to get involved with it right
now but i'm upon him so khan asking the
safer as i said with the tattoos
he shows the same thing that we were
exposed to from his unbelievable
knowledge from what became famous of his
criticism
he plugs that into here to go even
and it's beyond incredible it's kadai to
learn it's as a as other as
almost all his others farm it's
available on hebrew books it's
interesting even if you don't learn the
whole thing samsung
it's fascinating it'll be a great course
for his nashamah probably if you do and
he'd be very happy okay
this first safer of a kind
okay wow a lot of fascinating material
when you say
on the internet it's been discussed you
mean it's internet level material or
there's scholarly works and real
discussions about it there's everything
everything everything oh one second but
you're right what i should say is that
according to the pharisees troll i did
more important because it's more
negative because the way article makes
it sound like it doesn't exist but
article is well where the pharisees
srell and others say it's the monk it's
a form of a chimpanzee
which is more negaio so obviously this
also gets into um uh
different other discussions but i can we
spoke enough already sci topic and a
site happening in the side happened so
you can already move on right you just
mentioned quickly
refrain you want to
give one sentence on that you said it
because of violence
um it seems
um
the story actually was written up um
[Music]
right
afterwards magazine which i already was
already uh i already asked michilo that
i was i said publicly that i read it
so
in at least two issues there's
discussion about it the klugman family
um sponsored
um
i think he did all the work or at least
the marmokinas
in the rabino fry and he was also
involved i'm not sure which one how much
of the
it could be the review
um he also did it yeah from the
introduction it sounds like he also did
he also assisted by raquel maybe he did
more of the work um but anyway he was
involved as a
to explain all different so to find
different sources kedarka with his
incredible yada for different materials
relating to this robina fry but um yeah
okay
so that is about tattoos and pastry and
haksav
karne kagovim grasshoppers so
everybody everybody knows
about the chain when he was learning
about the study of grasshoppers the
grasshoppers came to him and there's a
video that came a second time and
there's a lot of a lot of as you say on
the internet about the grasshoppers so
what could you say what could you tell
us about the man is grasshopper safer
okay
so like this
so first like this rakayan kanyeski
wrote a contrast in the same year
that we that he put out by
um
he put out the karne khagavim and at the
end of the karnik which is only 30 pages
he says
that um
he finished it in l tough shalom above
1976.
okay this is interesting because there's
a famous thing that kind of speaks to
print the safer when did he write his
firearm and years that were leap years
because he had an extra month not to
worry about his javis but here we see
him printing too far back to back in the
same year it could be tough shalom was a
leap year but it's but a tous farm of
the year doesn't fit with the story
whatever okay anyway
um
here too again he has akdama
why he's writing the safer so he writes
the reason is the rambam says that
there's a mitzvah to know this among him
to be able to be
marvel between the behemoths and the
government that's mutated and what's not
what to eat even if you don't plan on
eating it it's still a mitzvah it says
requirement
in the first seminar safer to learn the
suggest to know the dining
because many people will say i'm not
interested in eating grasshoppers
they're disgusting so why should i learn
this simon
[Music]
so
in order to um
empower shimini we have the
where they talk all about the different
medium that are out there and all of a
sudden we learn this pasta
it says over here
which ones could you eat that's
so
it sounds like
so what i when i was young
um learning this tsukimu was in seventh
grade so i was right away the rebbe was
like he was listening right right away
he was listing off all the animals and
all the birds and everything i'm like
how does he know this like it's very
hard
the answer is that he had this it's
called the living torah from robaria
captain amazing safer amazing job
done in a very short amount of time
actually i had a very nice write-up
about ryan cavan this year and um
and we must say that i think ncsr was
involved in
reprinting could be that's what the
article is about i know everybody was in
the while then reprinting a lot of
things yeah yes yes
correct
so so um
so basically right away it talks about
he says you keep the members of the red
locust family the yellow locust the
spotted grey locust family and the white
locust family and he has
pictures
they could see
and he has his artist with a crazy
bikias
about the grasshoppers
okay
now
like everything else
so it's a passup
does not so what what what more could
there be about grasshoppers
so barak hashem we live in a time that
there's already a few swarm written
about grasshoppers first we have a
frankiewski's countries called carnegie
that's about eating grasshoppers we have
a different safer called
messiahs from professor zohar mar from
expert in all different aspects of
reality animals
he's written up multiple every year he
puts out at least another safer all
different types of topics
um he has to say from the rats and a big
save around the on the locusts it's how
long is this safer it's almost 200 pages
and uh mabiel schwartz is also prolific
as written many sperm he has a safer on
grasshoppers interestingly i don't know
why berbier schweitzer was not able to
find him mentioning rankings be safer
even though it was written much after
okay now
so so the point is that kangaski sat
down and he held it's very important as
he as he's saying why that you have to
um learn this so yeah besides the
regular din of tamatari
fascinating chapter sim and aleph of the
safer and he has basically 13 um
about the sugu
with the various aloha kidaka the curry
dish with his bacius
of um
incredible bacchus
uh and then he ends off with your dear
simeon pay
yes i think it's
i'm not sure
um and he has two pages where he has the
the mahabharata and then he has a beer
and a shared serum so here you can
already see
the the evolvement i i mentioned that in
my hokus tattoos he doesn't have the
mishna bureau type format at least for
the end part he does whereas there the
liquid is not like that okay
so much so his great bacchus i found
them using is that the in one simmon he
talks about the mario cooler and somehow
he gets to talking about a um
maybe shy pic
nice talks about why
people don't bring it
why people don't bring a certain braiser
why we're showing them the
white people
why we shine him don't bring a specific
braiser in teresque hammond so hang his
toes that they really do and he also
shows the battery material and i found
very also true to tremendous good islam
known for their crazy because sir
i think he just he does find the car
um
for them okay
anyway
so now
fine so we said that there's him the
swarm
today yes
one could even find i was just um
so i was in the
biblical museum of natural history the
musee the
and so there he has a display about
let's say grasshoppers he has a whole
write-up about grasshoppers and one
could buy grasshoppers if you to eat if
you hold it's as if you go with the
sheet that it's muted to eat you can
even buy grasshoppers now do people eat
it from jews eat it yes as zoramar talks
about in the safer barricos say money
jews eat it and other people also eat it
um and if now
uh when one learns to say foreign he
talks about if what he says what about
if i don't want to eat it but what about
if i do want to eat it he has a chapter
about it and his conclusion aloha mice
is that one cannot eat it the messiah
was lost now
the the
is the famous archaic
and our kaimakadesh is safe on your day
at length he says that one cannot eat
grasshoppers at all
okay
manny paiskim in the
moroccan ice cream and certain spa
deposit him and the fact he manipulates
they disagree with this
so there was interesting there's
interesting
there's a safer called
was born in 1670 it was a hush of a yidd
and he was prolific writer but all his
materials remain in manuscript but
luckily for him
he was a moroccan goggle and he does saw
his material and he quotes it a lot in
his different
if he does we saw tons of manuscripts he
saw this cafe not any quotes
anyway the catholic it seems has a
rehearsal where he comes out explains
who he he deals with what our mother
says and he says he comes out that it's
mutter
and it and this piece is quoted and we
don't have this piece that where he says
mother that's a forgot lost but he does
saw it and others okay but more very
recently less than ten years ago the
safer pathnaki came out with different
parts of his manuscripts and a different
postscript from a safer shikha liquette
it turns out that he was freezer from
his hector that he gave to eat
grasshoppers
and and this is not so well known
especially the safers only very very
recent um and it came out and he came
out but significantly moroccan goggle
and even though originally he's the one
one of the people that's quoted that's
arguing
here he is seemed to be heiser we don't
have the whole reason why he's kaiser
nor do we have the reason why he's
arguing
okay
now the question is and this is the
question that everyone wants to know is
did rakain kanievsky um
what's the story about this grasshopper
that comes to visit him
um and what's the story behind now so
frankly that's interestingly enough is
it i i was very curious to see does
rokhan kaniesky himself make any mention
of seeing a grasshopper
so
and and what's very significant is we'll
see why it's very significant to see a
grasshopper but
um so i look through the whole safer
and i see
that rakhine kanyevsky himself
says as follows on page
when he's talking about and it plays out
this is a part where it's very negative
he says
he saw the grasshopper
you go further in the safer page 123
and then he says
the um
so he asked
you go further in the safe room
not such a big safer only 30 pages well
worth learning through
then he says
um he brings something from the sephirah
bris and then he says
at least in the printed versions of the
story he talks about that he spoke to
people he spoke to experts he asked
different people now
again back to the magazine this is in
the pesach issue so one of the daughters
this interview with the daughters and it
says here she remembers the famous story
about the grasshopper abba was learning
the signs of the grasshoppers which led
to the safer he sent me to a neighbor
who was a science teacher to ask if she
had a book with pictures of a
grasshopper she said she doesn't and
then suddenly we noticed on the
windowsill a grasshopper
now already before khan kanyeski was
lifter there's a fellow avishai obama
avisha obama librarian of the television
library and he has a blog excellent blog
about svarim and different things he
does it ties into the parsha and he has
a whole post discussing about the the
different versions of the story about
kanyevsky and the grasshopper in the
various books on the robinson
and the various heists and on the
internet there's a video with the person
one a whole person about it and you
could see what happens who say yes it is
true so we're not coming to say that
it's not true just i'm just pointing out
this these will shyness in the safe now
just to conclude with a few short points
number one
um
did this ever happen before that someone
else was learning
hilton's grasshoppers or the sylvia and
a grasshopper flew in
so again thanks we have the internet
someone found uh first i got i got it
from a few different places some of them
first sent it and then again and again
um and bottom line is like this there's
a safer stay it's cook
which is printed in 1851
and then
of the safer he wrote he wrote a bunch
of spherum on chaste
and the khulandaf
and if i wouldn't have seen it i
wouldn't believe it he's learning this
grasshoppers
and it's it's again not clear what the
samanam are then he says like this he's
not sure imam is not sure and then
his review to see
so we see a safer in 1851 at the same
time similar type of story but he this
author he went ahead and printed it
um okay
now
so you'll think the story ends there so
this is so the safest day yitzhak was
reprinted
by
um
into two volumes it's available today
the actual safer is available on hebrew
books you can see this piece
now what's interesting is like this
so as i decided to make the to go the
next step and that is
who's the author of the safer so it
turns out there's a whole life has had
this author he was a um how he became a
he was a
he was a mama show it sounds like he was
a very shy person uh in uh iq level also
and
how mifa story how he became who he came
and he became a successful businessman
and a successful tamil hackham um so
this is not the only nace but the
grasshoppers it seems a lot he had a lot
of nissan and this introduction from
muhammad shalom they have various
macarons
so i was looking up more i wanted to see
something more about this safer
so i check and i see
in the middle bibliography it describes
that there's a safer written against the
safer
what's the safer call
the safer is called
by established
okay
so i'm curious to know what this this
person because it sounds like it has to
do with this thing what's going on
because i immediately try to get a copy
of the book
i send someone to get it
it's missing in hebrew university once
it's missing indeed university is stuck
they write they saw it in a private
collection in a collection of mayor
videos i write to a librarian of mayor
benio
no it doesn't have it maybe it's in the
private library sent to the sun i was
about to write to the sun it was already
today coming the thing i sent back
i looked i said you know what today i'm
giving the sheer so let me try one last
time to see maybe there's an extra copy
and the phallics copy i look again there
is extra i sent back my guy
was there today and he finds the safe
taka someone wrote a seven page booklet
and the whole thing now it doesn't say
why he's doing this but the whole safer
is attacking this piece it's baloney he
can't believe it and it's seven pages
this rare book there's no copying world
except him the hebrew university has a
copy from the from a copy that was in
the
in tel aviv library anyway bottom line
is this known as scene it's not
available on the internet and this safer
is all about that this piece that this
mahabhara it's blown okay
i promise you if someone would write
such a thing about hanging today i feel
bad what would happen but anyway we have
video we have video recording
that the story did happen all his
daughters say it they set it at the
levia
and this is a story that's been well
known already in his lifetime just it's
very cute that he himself
when he's talking about it he doesn't
mention it he just mentions they spoke
to experts
um where he looked okay
now what's going on here system this is
the
last proc to talk about today relating
to all this
um
he quotes the safer abras so mccloud i
hope to discuss more about the
significance of the safe habits for
frankieski was very significant for
heineken
but for this um
for
just now just to talk on one aspect and
that's relates to this whole thing of
seeing
this why was it so important to see
the
grasshopper so um mamash piquets and
nimrods
the i mentioned already a few times um
i'm fascinated by it
the hida wrote travels of when he used
to trap when he traveled all over and
one of the things he mentions a bunch of
times is he saw he went to visit zoos he
saw animals he saw different animals he
made a mark michelangelo's
and the question is why he was so
interested always to seeing animals and
um
they recorded it okay he made the barack
obama say there but what was
so i so i thought about a lot and i and
my conclusion was that it was not only
there was a lot more going on and that
was
possibly
relates to in general when one learns
any particular studio specifically a
sugi like grasshoppers
and
in gen and there's also uh there's two
aspects so so the main aspect is that
not only did you learn them but you
should be taraya to be um to be making
which is tummy which is tar and so to
the carbon aaron learns up over there um
you're learning the studio about
grasshoppers you learn the shorthand but
you don't know how it looks how could
you even begin to even passing about it
so kind of you also know about it okay
so he so what did he do he went
according to either the way he writes as
he went to um
experts and then in the end he talked to
saw he was like
that that a grasshopper came and he was
able to see with his own eyes but
there's a nakuda to see and that's why
the khida was so concerned one of the
aspects behind what the daw was
concerned to go to the zoos i swore ali
nadal marshall he went specifically to
seal different animals tucker for this
reason to be able to identify which
animals are kasha are not and he's
shows that if you have a proper
understanding of animals it helps
understand homage when one learns
parakshira it's very helpful if you
understand the animals to understand
different things and and more than that
in general so so this sort of number one
is that there's a concept called in the
the words realia i i don't i never was
able to find the exact word how it is in
english exactly but it basically means
is to if you know the mathias it helps
you understand things better so le
marshall robert capital when he learned
this
and you look at his pictures and then
today there's much much more it helps
you get a better handle and
understanding what's going on and as
hank lyeski says that that's part of the
mitzvah to learn at units
he was not doing because he wanted to
eat the grasshoppers it was this is a
helicopter and as i'm showing you from
this terrorist guy i'm also a rashi
benzene that had them iraq in the
carbonart it's a mitsubishi to know this
so that so when what let's say one goes
to a zoo or one goes and catches his
grasshopper he has his kid go outside
catch me a grasshopper and you look at
it and you learn the suggest your
makayam mamlish and extra mitzvah in in
the suggest so that was the kuda behind
in general when one learns these type of
suggest one should be aware and one
should try to and this is this is what
that's what he says he did he went and
he consulted experts now one such expert
was always the safe person
which hashem will talk
more about now just to conclude with one
last one last um
one last practice
which relates to both these farm and
will will serve as the introduction to
the
next sfaramosa
[Music]
so one of the most incredible books that
i've ever read about a goddess is the
book
written by the time son about his father
every time i go just to look up one page
i end up putting 20 pages i just
recently overcome i read it over again
and i highly highly recommend it it's
it's
beautiful
and you get an unbelievable appreciation
of
and some of the aspects actually will
play out uh later on but in
part of the nakuda that i see with
rakhine kanievsky in both these two
swarm where he uses his
where he mama starts from scratch from
the supreme as i said and he comes all
the way to
and he's bringing everything so
the time son writes the foul
what was my father say to alimur he says
it's like this we used to begin we
learned he learned with him a lot he
helped him with the mr bureau also and
he says we will
move on to the major if there's a safra
targa
he says i remember him learning
this someone this roofer line i forgot
about and someone point listener pointed
out similar to it through kankarievsky
with uh
and we learned the whole parachute with
the sofia
then we will move on to the rambam and
this is how he would learn until you go
further down to the riff and the rambam
and they were showing him that he was
able to get till he would go through
rush because then he would check the the
sunlight light smack truma zarua ramban
then he would also forget that don't
forget the shelters in the bahamas
and then he would go to the tournament
and then the rest will get to a
different time but the point is when one
looks at this and then you learn you
look very carefully at the sa these two
swarms
before we even get to the other swarm
you see this is what kanyeski did he
mummish sat down he went started from
the beginning you open up to him there's
a famous joke everyone loves to say how
does he shiver back or no
um
he doesn't he never opens it up they
know there's all different versions of
the joke um how does he know maisha and
aaron are brothers
it's not because he knows the kim but
it's because of his uh
science and
anyway same type of thing but here at
franklin he started from the beginning
he went through the resharing him and
this it's not only what i'm saying is
this time son is saying this is how my
father taught me how to learn does he
have the mission of brewer itself was
written and we'll have a lot more to say
but this is just an introduction to
insight into the method of rakhine
kanyevsky to give us some
glimpse of what's behind
these uh
smarm
excellent excellent wow there's so much
information there to unpack amazing as
always
now i know next time one of my daughters
asks me get rid of a spider i should
hold it and examine it and learn it
for posterity okay thank you very much
make sure to show it to her like you
have to make sure to show it to her
absolutely i could tell her this is how
you man previously
they used to look for these animals all
the time
and mitzvah always take you show her the
rashi you sit there and rushing now
we're gonna go that's it exactly
exactly exactly exactly
okay great speaking with you let's do it
again soon have a good day youtube bye
