Yevamos: Seforim & Interesting Anecdotes with Rabbi Dr. Eliezer Brodt.

[Music] shalom aleichem and welcome back rabbi dr elijah brought i've been to quite a few scenes on saturday and one of the first things people come over to me and tell me is how much they enjoy listening to your breakdowns and the history of the swarm on the massachusetts and when is it stephanie obama's coming so here it is the sacrifice has arrived and sacrosavamus is the gateway to the messages that i learned in the yeshivas a lot of swarm written on londis so we'll get to some of those but as an introduction to the massachusetts what do you want to start with um just very briefly is that in yeshiva one usually gets to learn parts of nashville zika in just parts but joining the da fiomi now you gain that you get to enjoy a little alumnus at the same time obviously on a much faster pace than yeshiva but you get to finish these miseras um today as opposed to back in the day at least my day there's there are numerous new tools to make it easier to do this for example on olaf they have all types of shirum and all different focusing of different types of shirum if you're interested um for your vamos they brought in some new material that also is very useful in general i have to admit there is art school gomorrah both in hebrew and english they're very useful and it should one should not necessarily be embarrassed at least for your vomiters to use it there's also the massifta from honda okay um thank you for the plug for old off wow and we got to send the plug to art school over to them as well robert liezer are there any specific tips there are all kinds of picture books out there maybe you'll talk about when did the picture book phenomenon start that hasn't been around for a very long time about any specific tips you could offer people as they embark on the journey of massachusetts so a personal small tip is the pen and paper old fashioned basically when one is learning something very complicated with charts and stuff like that if one himself does the writing down of making the charts it usually has a much greater impact than reading a pre-me already made chart of course sometimes time doesn't allow charts do help that are printed but personally um the mission over here some people say it's buying a pen and it will be very apropos in from sectors of vamos to go out just to spend a little time writing down even some of the charts for yourself to help you understand do you want to comment on anything that's out there on the market today that's not something that you're familiar with so so i can't i don't i like it says as follows i cannot say about all the different ones that are out there today there's new ones coming out um i just saw this week a few more came out i didn't even bother to write down the names but i could say in general i do not know how far back it goes but um which would be an interesting thing a question to answer to find the answer to that question would be interesting however um in the previous presentation we spoke about really good macher so i mentioned and i said i'll get back to now his son died young um tragically he spoke a drop about that surveilling put out to swarm of the sun one was keenum and one was amazing it's called and what was it on yavamis his son made a safer to make it easier for people he made diagrams on the whole sector the son writes and the son writes that when one learns which buddha family started so people already know um you have to it's you have to keep you have to keep your head has to be focused a lot with all the different family members and for all the different aspects in certain parts it gets very confusing so he writes by rikos in this don't be embarrassed this is what you should you should he's doing it he's making these charts and it's available on hebrew books and he says some peop which is now and he talks a little bit about it on the benefits of doing it it's it has an impact when you see it a picture it has an impact on the person more than just hearing about it which is definitely very very true and he says it sounds like he he anticipated that people would be upset about images and he says don't don't worry about it he says a lot of times new things come out and people are upset about them when they come out people are scared of the new but no you should embrace it i mean he's encouraging and safer although he wasn't alive when the safer actually does come out so you can't say that he was pushing it but anyway point is he held it was a very important tool so just to mention in general the two which there's a lot to say about it it plays out a lot of masektos a lot of areas only learning if you have the visual aids which we have today obaf has put out on some sectors even i think on rosh hashanah they had schaefer and other muslims how it's made and um wine a lot of times it helps one understand it now just so just to say two things about that is that darius and gave us way back um about a safe on her shrito that the person was going to put out with pictures and darius said i had great hannah seeing this because it helps when one sees it even though in those days they they were accustomed to seeing animals but seeing animals you're seeing the pictures the diagrams and when you learn hula numbers i'm going to get there you talk more about it over there but he encouraged it um and one other one other uh about this is i used to hear a shirt from a garakaset in your line where maisha and he's one of the things he's famous for is dealing with the ba he's one of the first people very big isaac in the battle caps on opening up battles on chavez today there's numerous books both in hebrew and in english on this on the subject but he's one of the first people that wrote about it and he was in correspondence and he spoke too personally with the various kadailam especially andrew yashif so he mentioned more than once in this year he when he gives shir about these topics he had a huge bag of every type of bottle container everything and if a new one would come out on the market he would be make sure to buy it and have it in his bag and he'd give these shirum he would show it to everyone and to be able to understand everything going on like long story short every time a new one come so when one of them a new battle method was came out in that period of time he ran through zalman he asked them could you write a chuva about it he went to talk to us all different things and he said i i can't remember all the things he told me could you write it down so shamzam said no problem first write up all your issues write it to me and i'll give you an answer and he comes back a few days later he gets a call that the truth was ready the son who called them up told them zalman sat for the past three days with a soda bottle on the table and he kept on screwing it on and off as he was writing these chuvas which he deals with the alumnus and explanation why he reaches his sucker but anyway a lot of times seeing it helps immensely and therefore i'm not against at all if this is a tools and people use now modern tools at least uh visual aids for yvonne's especially it's very um helpful okay thank you for that hearing how different gdalum throughout the generations used visuals very interesting i know you spoke about when we were learning before myrikoton about the dangers of the massachusetts and what was written about that throughout the generations you mentioned something about ubuntu do you want to repeat it or say something about that now yeah i'm just going to say we then we spoke more about rick's about about just the classic daily um i said that he heard that in kushta um that they did not learn irvin ivamus and he said that they had something to do with the russia tavis ani we spoke about that um i brought that there was a manuscript of a safer from the tao that says one has to be careful to learn when one learns and he said the reason was that uh um what happened that result died while learning massachusetts um with his tummy them so he also attributed something of behind me us being very careful but a little more behind it we mentioned then barricos the isis of amits and rakhim ulma they talk about it and that they there was a to fast before the masefta and it was actually done by certain places they used to fast aquaponic but throughout the generations as will be obvious through this presentation people learned ivan shainam and acharyanam fascinating fine so let's get back to what we usually do we talk about the vishyanam bahrainim some of the more recent tachranim especially now that we get into the mistakes there's many more to talk about so just to put this out there amit hashem rabeliazer would love to do a special presentation on the earthly narrative we hope that day will come in the near future the arsenal has a very thick volume on uvamis so you want to start with we shine them now so i'm going to start with just two points about the gemara then we'll move right away into the resharper number one is that um we've mentioned in the past that for manny's script is the hebrew of the dictu not he begins it in the 1860s and he finishes he dies suddenly in 1888 so and he finishes up and he doesn't get to do much of of nation um it took a long time for it to be finished but many years later macho and tommy israeli successfully finished nashim and it's very useful for the gear size they collected numerous numerous gear sites from all different places and very useful one could get it i believe on its interesting recent work just to mention is a co is there someone from liquid it's called nushara someone his name is um kramer and here he also deals with different questions one can answer he deals with the gear size and he's using different tools including the dictu case from charlene to answer up different um some things relating to the gear size out there he also has an interesting introduction and a piece in the back explain the significance of dear science and gemara in general and who was isaac in it a little bit about it okay but um that's all for the topic of the gemara um okay so let's get right into the reassignment okay so we shine him so as i've quoted in the past first we have the hidden i've quoted a few times he has a list which we shine him around there so he says there's a rifa rajba ramban and the texas rush texas rush is first printed in 1776. um i believe might even had us come from the frida okay in general as a before before just going into uh briefly if you were showing them to you this one how does one find out which we're showing there are septums i've mentioned the past is excellent work for sorry ella from oman from kosher that was printed on each massager giving some information about it and um he has a few uh nice amount of entries but it's outdated because it was completed in the in the 1970s reason not too many someone tries um to collect the different um thefarsham that are out there one such receptor is a fellow i've also i think i quote it more than once his name is aaron gabay prolific writer he has a lot of material one can find it on the internet and he has a say from your vans renas aaron in the safer he has a longer recourse of listing out all the reshinum that there are with in-depth discussions about them which are the best additions and the significance of them and all different tunnels that come up about the different issues relating to reaching them very interesting if one wants a copy of this section relating to the rich item it's a nice amount 30 something pages feel free to email me at eliezerbrot.gmail.com and i will send out this i will send you this pdf quick easy read and you can get a clear understanding of all of the reaching them out there we're obviously not going to mention all the machine and all the different aspects of all the beside them um but there is such a there is such a tool at least for your bombs okay but more specifically so the daily rishenim um are almost but as i've pointed out in the past we did not have them throughout the generations the first time the la marshall the ramban is first printed from manuscript only in the 1740s and then the next time it's printed is in 1837 so if someone was learning um it wasn't too easy to get the rajba first comes to print in 1720 then again in 1756 but even those two times it's not complete the next time it's in 1809 so oh um so in short it's not all that available uh and the ritz first comes to print in 1757 with us so these three works the daily shine and we take for granted because every most a lot of you the show houses even today um have it but every shul has it is aritha raj ramban and all the massacres but they didn't have it um they didn't have it so accessible even once it was printed it wasn't so common to have it many shivas didn't even have it before the war um now what we have now the ritual in fancy additions of course one has to mention the ritzvah with rabara yafin's um edition which is two very fair volumes i know people that cut out there's so much material there he deals with the manuscript information but he also deals with being masbera the ritual and all the whole base medicine where the ritual comes from means say the ramban the rajma he deals with all this in these footnotes tons of tara and shiyarim are based on these um on the on these notes of his this union in the back people have cut out parts of it just because it's impossible in my day you have to schlep around the huge ritzva um for meister of cook it was very hard so there was eight so you cut out the maloom in the back and and you had it but um anyway a very uh incredible incredible work um and today we have all these um you showing them but they didn't always have them that that's the point of the reach i item yeah just to mention briefly two newer discoveries so to speak so one is on musavamis we have what we call the rabina of ram and ahar this is from the famous umbilishin rabbi bloody print and numerous editions of um not so not all of them really made it into the into the various yeshivas but on your vampires did make it in a lot of chivas they do learn it um they do use it and it's an extensive safe random sector and just to mention one piece of information about ramana so i have a friend his name is um uh penicus ross he wrote a doctorate about this kufa and he has a whole section about rupert ramona not to be admired about it but he brings a testimony of someone that knew him personally writes about him and he says how he's very famous and he's an amazing person and um he knows how to pascal um whatever comes to his way and he in in this doctorate um he has a section on rubber he talks specifically about mahala he's very into the rambam okay one other reason just to conclude is the tyson the um on this on the side of the heart is this on him and today we have machon offic has printed a complete edition of twice as hisham i've explained this the shaz vilna what they sent out people looking for different uh materials relating to the gemara new materials they got to test the shannon but it was incomplete in the 1960 1969 in a journal some new material from the same manuscript as printed that was not printed by the vilna and ophe came along and printed a whole um i remember when i was in and it's very important for thai swiss without getting into what what it what it does with isis without um is it working with isis is its own work but i remember in yeshiva when i was in the mirror learning um they used to say that malcolm was right into the tai chi sushana he was around before of came out and he even had the the article that was printed in this academic journal but he didn't keep it with his swarm he kept it so it shouldn't be mixed with the swarm this uh academic um chapter that he someone had brought him about the types of which had material detected on i mean there's many more as you mentioned but these are just some of the highlights well okay so let's move on to that i remember when i was learning vampires in long beach and i'm sure this is the basis of many mysterious evamist learnings in many years super vegas kasha seriously vamos i think it took us the whole man until he got to answer the kasha i think by that time i might have been so confused i'm not sure i uh was fully getting the turrets um so when i just became here i'm excited so talk about okay so i'll go very briefly we first have the we have the yamcha schleimer who although he dies in about 1570s and he was the good one of the daily adorable um but his perish on this in the amsterdam is only printed many years later 1739 numerous theories are given about that but that's not it's beyond the scope of today moving a little further another going that was active a little after the marshall his name was robertsville horowitz from the famous harwood's family who's who's active in the 1640s and onwards who dies in 1680 he wrote a safer called goin and this safer was printed after his death like many swarm um in 1737 also considered a useful akron on the earlier acronym sector as very hashivaskamas of note robinson okay we do not have he writes that he did write a safer arm but and he writes he want he was going to print it separately from the rest of nashem and he uses the lesson of ani which i've spoken about the russia davis he was going to write about irvinida and ivana masa ivamos never gets printed or we don't know what happened with it interestingly enough many years later the oracle there who i hope to talk about more by rico's in 1850 princess safer which he says he wrote when he was very young he emphasizes that he's doing it to similar to the play yeshua because we don't even have the panic show and he's very focused on rashi similar to what the one of the many aspects of the play yeshua he's going to focus on in his work but that's in 1850 when our honor does that there's another guidance fee that's printed in in 17 um sorry in 1801 from its fee have been of russia he has very harsh vascularis of that goof it's interesting his almana and his children were once actively trying to print his material um and then seifer that's also quoted a lot is the oil david oil david very interesting akron person he in the 1770s he begins a kashar and he learns by the name of the and it seems that the most written about the most the person written about the most sorry the person that the most truers are written to in the bermuda is to this to this rap david um there's an interesting small little book on him david deich someone in bene brock put out in 2000 and in the early 2000s and he was a prolific person but not so much of his was printed so i feel of the work on uvamis is printed now but not only does he have so much to do with the not only does he have a lot to do with he's also very close with the sum cipher his son was the maram ash another talmud of some cipher um and that's another safer that people use on the massachusetts moving um moving right along there's a schaefer ash's jacket printed in 1863 from yak of drummer um who dies in 1872 also use the lad and there's a recent new edition of it like many other such swarm and and just to conclude there um the there was there's the cara naira which we've spoken about a few times and they learned yavamas like all other yeshivas but we have the natives here and there's the shraggar which from hermitia luria which we also spoke about him by maya katherine of talmud in 1870s he prints a safer and he also makes sure to note in the dhamma that it's a hard massage and the the regular before dealing or discussing the more the the the shivashishvaram so to speak that came out before world war ii oh wow we're going to get to hear you speak about yeshiva's farm and some of you shy away from you promise is going to be an exception yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't know you i don't know your vomits will be exception i don't know what will be further but for your varmints you have to at least try it so take it away if it's the irs what makes it to your list okay so i obviously i in the timeline over here that we we want to keep it to a certain amount of time so we're not going to speak about all of them there's many many um ones just to highlight all right everyone always has to welcome is that before world war ii correct classic right so after world war is endless amount of i remember when it came out the unbelievable in the mirror that it came out finally and and people now they have many shirama vernacular different stylists but then it was a big thing yavamas when's it coming out and it finally came out it took a long time till it came out but anyway so first we have rebel channel this is the one of the go to svarim uh now it's interesting i try to find out about that i cannot come up with a good answer i don't know why they pulled together there's no introduction to explain why they decided to put in the raj but all this material from the roger but it's extremely useful it seems rebecca and son wrote iris a little harder also but there's no explanation why but i i guess the point was is rebecca held um the match was very important and the truest is a ton of literature and it's forgotten about so let's put it into the safer um also interesting everyone always loves to quote this always israel with some interesting historical ideas about swarm it's printed in his kybus and ibamas and he and the robocharan doesn't need anyone to tell we don't need to discuss the fame and the galaxy great medium and the impact that he had on so many people pre-world war ii um one of the good islam and um interesting i i have to mention there was a beautiful article put out by a dovie schaefer in the in recent times about rebel hanoi tons of new material he spent a lot of time researching him and he put out a beautiful article and he gave me permission that if someone emails me i could send down the pdf of the article again at eliazebra gmail.com but with that but i don't need to give any um anything about i don't need to say anything and who am i to even say anything about honor but the brother-in-law of muhammad when he he gives us kama to the safer and he writes about it extremely impressive asgama um he doesn't know why rebel khan is even asking but he says and he he very very impressive has come from high moiser um that on the safer so much but we have in his troops important chuvas also relating to ivamus um which shows rabbi moiser in his galas what's which is a shield a combination of the kios and ion and ampkus and everything um and i don't need to what's his name about high moisture one doesn't need to talk about especially we have a beautiful work from absorbing which analyzes mahalaka limur and in recent a year or two ago repdova kaminetsky a good friend of mine put out a beautiful book part one naru kai meiser hopefully uh the next book will come out soon where he deals with uh kai meiser the great goggle of the of before world war ii of the of the yeshiva world of the world at the time and he puts him in proper perspective in different aspects and trying to figure out with um [Music] all different issues that were going on kali stroller kai moses roll okay what's interesting relating to your vamas i found is that rakai moiser um is the bro i mentioned is the brother-in-law of rebel hanan now who did the rebel honor ramir atlas it seems israel mayor alice is a guy it was uh unbelievable and now the his his daughter married huda lee shapiro rebukeley shapiro dies without children reviewed leif shapiro is the son of the devourer of ram ram shapiro one of the great also great great dilemma i would love to maybe one day um return to talk all about in barricos and distribute the late dies without children the dvara avram does khalid and we also have to mention in the devour room there's also material on um yavamis and is after his wife his first wife dies he ends up marrying disreputab shapiro um and that's how he becomes the brother-in-law of rebel channel so it's a eboom connection over here and there's some material of this review the labe um which one to find in the back of the one of the vines of the varrava to conclude one of the um one of the swarm um of the yeshiva world one of my sparring that i always used to love i had a personal connection shiva of brisk in rakhine's time the talmud of recrying and it was considered one of the most um i i guess until today it still is my day was one of the top khashoggi's farm on different massachusetts with this amount whenever he had some you vomit he has a lot of material um his talmud wrote all right my personal connection was my great uncle learned by him his name was rabab zions he learned by this by the way maisha he spoke about it very highly to me a bunch of times when i was younger so from then on i always had a keyboard today my misha to get to make sure to have it right away and use it whenever i had opportunity but just to conclude a talmud of his wrote a beautiful um i guess pager two about the maisha in his safer on koberkasarathan and and this talmud writes time about the image that it was set in the shiva world this is being written in the 1930s in the shiva world this is the one this farm that had the most hadoushim at that time that was being that was accepted by everyone and murdered depth and amkus and svara there's there's actually pieces of abhayam in here also and he writes down about the tremendous that he writes about the remember she described him as being an unbelievable rebbe he had a tremendous relationship with him and his murder ability to be aimic and sit with a tremendous asmud he used to lock himself in a room for periods of time to be to be uninterrupted so he could prepare i guess um and put out some of his amazing terror that he became famous for okay i can't that just those are just some of the many um highlights of this farm pre-world war two after world war ii there's an explosion the explosion is still continuing i mean even this week i got an email of someone sending a thousand page creeper on your vomit it's endless um what ends up happening but um and continues to happen as we speak probably a few more staff learning excellent excellent okay so we have some good element we got to get back to var from who else did you mention that you'd like to speak about in the near future we'll try to highlight another one one day okay so our problem is as a whole we'll see who wrote the article in the sprocket magazine adobe show hebrew or english english in english on an excellent article and he asked permission and he i could send it out send the email and i mentioned also the article about all the swarm on your vomits to shine them from aaron gaba i also could send out excellent again e-l-i-e-z-e-r-b-r-o-d-t gmail.com okay looking forward to speaking with you again shortly
