Shmuel body the safer. Shmuel used to be
body dick with a safer.
So what does it mean that Shmuel was
body dick the safer? So if you look in
the first year of Gamorah,
it's some form of what we know
as a girl Lagra.
Reading from the Hidah in his Shiyurei
Bracha,
the side of the brick of Yosif, and this
is on that Siman Yirei De'ah Siman Kuf
Ayin Tes.
>> [snorts]
>> Kosem Mari Kash. Nearly, the Likuli Am
Mutal Lifte'ach Bi'Torah. V'Yirei
Ha'Pasuk Oivah.
Everybody holds that in the world of
superstition, what you are and what you
are not allowed to do, you're allowed to
open up a safer Torah to see what pasuk
you're going to bump into to know what
to do. Ki Hi Chayeinu. As a matter of
fact, we live on that. This is something
that we're allowed to do. Meaning Torah
is Chayeinu, and this is included in the
fact that Torah is Chayeinu. I'm
skipping a little bit. U'Matzasi
Bi'Kuntres, says the Hidah, Ki Va'Siad.
La'Rav Rav Bliol Ha'Kohen Ha'Kohen
Ha'Rabbah Ba'Shevet Mussar. She'Kosa
V'Zeh Lo Shoyna. Kibalti Me'Raboisai. Ki
She'Hu Roitzim La'Asos Eizeh Davar, I
was Mekabel from my Rabbis. When they
wanted to do something, Va'Hoyu
Misupakim Im La'Asos Eizeh Im Lav. Hoyu
Lo K'Chumash Oi Arba'ah Asar, they would
take a Chumash or a Tanach. V'Hoyu
Posekin Oi Soi, they would open it up.
V'Roin B'Reish Ha'Daf Mah Pasuk Hoyu
Moitzai. They would look at the first
line of the Chumash and the Tanach to
see what pasuk they found. U'K'Fima
She'Mar'u Eizeh Pasuk and based on what
they saw, Hoyu Oisin, that's what they
did. V'Nimtza She'Hoyu Misuyatin Im
Ha'Torah. And what emerges that they
would be Misiayatin with the Torah.
K'Das Ma'Asos B'Chol Inyoneihem. And
this is something that you're allowed to
do. In fact, Chazal say you're supposed
to be Noitel Eitzah Min Ha'Torah. Said
Rav Bliol Ha'Kohen Ba'Shevet Mussar,
this is what Chazal meant. What they
meant was is you open up a safer Torah,
you open up your Chumash, you could open
up a Tanach, look at the first pasuk on
the first line, and whatever that pasuk
is, you're going to know Kad Asma Vasos.
That's going to give you insight on what
to do, and this is something that's
mutar. In fact, the Chida quotes the
Maharsha that said, "Ki hiya yeinu."
This is mamash the way we go about our
geschäft. Of course,
of course, the makor
to this idea is Shmuel's Memra, Shmuel
badak b'sefer. Rebbe Akiva was badak
b'einuka, Shmuel was badak b'sefer. The
Rama brings Rebbe Akiva badak b'einuka,
he doesn't bring Shmuel badak b'sefer.
But at the same time, this is what the
Chida is commenting, he's bringing from
Kadmonim this inyan that just like we
pasken, you're allowed to go to a child
and say "Psakli psukei." Derech Chaim is
masberes an inyan of nevuah, this is
also a concept of badak b'sefer. You're
allowed to open up a sefer goral ha'groh
style, and you're allowed to go and try
to figure out
what you should do. The truth is, this
idea of Shmuel badak b'sefer
permeates the Torah of the Heilige
Zonnenfeld Sefer.
I think it's good I to talk about it for
1 second. The pasuk in Parshas Shoftim
says, "V'haya k'shivto al kisei
mamlachto, v'chasav lo es mishneh
ha'Torah." So we know that every Yid has
a mitzvah to write a sefer Torah. V'ata
kishmo k'cheilaso, az o
mitzvas ta'yid, it's the 613th mitzvah
in the Torah. But the Torah says that
the melech, the king, in addition to the
fact that he has an obligation to have a
sefer Torah like every Jew,
he had to have his own sefer Torah. He
had to have a second sefer Torah.
"V'haya k'shivto al kisei mamlachto."
When this person is going to become
king, "v'chasav lo es mishneh ha'Torah
ha'zoh." And the pasuk concludes,
"V'haya imei, v'kara bo kol y'mei
chayav." It should be with him, and he
should read from it throughout his
entire life. Just to read one paragraph
from the Heilige Zonnenfeld Sefer,
"Peirush, k'k'shei Yisrael b'rum
ha'ma'alos." He says, "When Klal Yisrael
is b'rum ha'ma'alah, az ay malcham
yoshev al kisei Hashem." Then the king
sits on the throne of Hakadosh Baruch
Hu, "u'mishameish b'ruach hakodesh." And
>> Right, in a perfect world the way the
Melchizedek used to operate was
and by the way, the mocking for this is
right, every morning they used to come
to David Melchizedek and they would tell
him that
right, and he would say, you know, go
collect and then they would say, "What
do you mean collect money? We've tried
this yesterday. We tried this the day
before." Right, in a
We have the most
and all the men and all the men would
engage and they would get involved in
assisting David Melchizedek. Says the
same so far that's the way it was when
the king was sitting out of shame when
it was shown in corner
that's the way the king knew what to do.
He did it out of war. He did it out of
war with the men. Stating that I'm
number one Leila. But when the
all of those things were removed. When
the
they have no war. When they don't have
the war with the men anymore. At that
point the king is no longer sitting on
the same so far the same so far but he
say my mom locked it.
He's now a kisser my mom locked it. So
the higher
It's like he's a king. I'm a king of a
country. Just like other countries have
But the king of shame is not on that my
trade anymore. It's only king of my mom
locked it.
It's more about the so far.
The
But the so far the shame on the same so
far the higher so far the same so far my
mom locked it. The castle is mission to
write a separate so far the same so far.
And when he's going to have that so far
the same so far you know what he's going
to do with it? The color
as I call him to be safer Torah. This
king is going to want to know how to go
about his business and he's not sitting
on
so he's not tapped into the
he [laughter] doesn't have the
he's only
so what am I supposed to do? I'm a king.
I'm running a Jewish Medina. How am I
supposed to know how to go about my
business? The answer is you should have
a safer Torah. So I want you to be with
not the
you should read from it your whole life.
The
you will read in it all the happenings
of your life. Everything that's in the
everything that's in the how you have to
control and run this country is going to
be in the Torah. The
in my color by
the way the I'm so attached to this in
Torah I'll be here in this life. The
truth is
The
I need to make sure that I
in some sort of a lot of Torah. This is
the very very end of the safer it's in
the
it's [snorts] on page
also talks about this Indian and he's
on it a little bit. He starts with a in

to see your whole life.
That's what it means the Torah gave me

That's the way Shmuel did it.
being by the king of the Torah basically
has a pussuk in the Torah.
These words. Listen to these words.
It says I have a little heebie-jeebie.
It's not such a chiddush.
You know what's more nifladig?
Because so often when a person is just
enjoying Torah
He's a massekist but alma in the
pleasures of the Torah.
He's going to find in the
He's going to find in the shiur of the
yoma.
He's going to find something that's
relevant to him.
He was thinking how he should write his
sefer.
He wanted to write a chiddush of his
magnum opus. And he was debating in his
head what he should name his
The word of the Chasam Sofer. His name
was Yair.
And his grandmother that raised him
Shmuel Chava. Her name was Chava. And he
was thinking, you know what, maybe I
should have something that has my name,
my grandmother's name, and he wasn't
sure.
And he's standing by the bima together
with the baal koreh.
And he said Siman u'Milta, that's what I
should name my sefer. I'm your my Baba's
Hava." And he named the safer Hava's oil
because of a guy named Maimonides. And
then the same story says he's talking
about Maimonides. He might as well be
serious with the same old pay base. And
the base brings in the area of the same
old pay base. Because you all suck Reba
office when the Reba was learning the
story of office. Quran Bobby Shiva
a bird is Quran came and it literally
sat next to him and Bobby said he was
Bobby Dick and what's like Bobby and
Nicholas and he saw the Bobby and
Nicholas
and he was able to understand the law.
We went through the grasshopper rabbi
then
we told the the story of Chaim and the
story of the Baba Sefas the Yisroel. So
you did it through Schlesinger. He sent
me immediately this safer.
It's the first of Yisroel because you
all suck Reba office. That all of a
sudden he was to the side and then the
same story fears I see this in bold
letters. Okay, Yisroel
my son the whole year. He says things
like this happen every single day. And
so the same story told me it's much more
like that.
>> [snorts]
>> Small body the safer when he goes to the
same story let me open up a safer Torah
and let me see what's going on over
here. That's not such a dish. That's not
[laughter] such a dish. It's going to be
all right. So you had fun all year.
But the fact that you're learning the
law and punked all of a sudden something
you just learned has a shock to your
life. Something that's going on in the
world. Something that's the game to you.
That's like that. That's incredible. Or
it's something in the same story
or the same story was like he's not 100%
sure what to name the safer and all of a
sudden he gets up and he says, "Oh, my
name is your my grandmother's name was
Hava. I'm so much because she raised
me." By the way, in the same story
so the same story he tells the story of
why he named the safer same story.
Incidentally, I saw Schlomiak going
by the same story. He has a book in the
back of the same story on this line in
the same story with the same story and
he actually asks as a
because the same story has a whole lot
of in the same story. He talks about is
it appropriate to maybe name a safer
after a woman I mean it's his
grandmother but he's throwing his the
name
into the name of a safer and he says it
doesn't bother me he said because the
great guy in the Megillah of Esther
that's the person on the side of the
mitzvahs he was one of the
guy in and the Megillah of Esther writes
that he's naming the safer Megillah of
Esther because his mother's name was
Esther and was
also that the
night of who the name this safer of the
nefesh
that's why it's called
because
his mother's name was
and he was giving a dedication to his
dedication to his mother we've mentioned
of my goal is a safer nefesh that he
wrote
was dedicated to his first wife whose
name was but there's a lot of
this but the bottom line is he doesn't
bring the story he does not in the read
the story that he was called up for the
and they called
this is a
and the I'm sorry for but the bottom
line is that the
said that the fact that was the safer
when he's doing it
he said that's not the biggest in the
world what is a is that sometimes it
just happens and then he
said
he said that's what
said
I
don't
know what it means to
that I'm eating from the
I'll
be the
even when I did it
I'm
just enjoying I'm
just sitting having a
over
even then it's guiding me and it's
telling me what to do the great ones
used to marry what they were learning to
what they had going on in their life and
they actually took it as a sign they
took it as a sign and the teaching us
that you don't have to do the grow but
there's an idea of even when the
I don't know
even then there's a
of
I mean
I lost count, but the amount of times
we've had in this
cycle of Daf Yomi where things that we
were learning and how they coincided
with what's going on in the world is
staggering. It's already past, I think,
what you would expect just
statistically, analytically to happen
just because it's way, way, way beyond
that. It's absolutely fascinating. And
this is a real Indian that's very much
based on a on a one line in today's daf.
It's something that's based on the Torah
of the Chasam Sofer. Incidentally, this
Indian, this taich of a Korban Korban
Mincha of Chasam Sofer brings already in
the P'sukei Chochma. So, this made it to
the P'sukei Chochma, which we know were
the things that the Chasam Sofer used to
always talk about. The things that were
Maggid B'Pum so much so that the Chasam
Sofer writes in the Hakdama that any
person that sits down to learn the
P'sukei Chochma, if you knew that that
person is not going to see one thing he
didn't already hear come of a come of a
pum pum cuz everything there was M'laveh
this was his whole life. But this was
one of the things the Chasam Sofer used
to always say. The Hoyo K'Shivto Al
Kisei Mamlachto B'Chol Sh'Lo Mishnaso
V'Im Lo B'Chol Y'mei Chayo. Not B'Chol
Y'mei Chayo, you should read from it
your entire life, but you will read in
it your entire life. Everything of your
life, any decision you're ever going to
have to make, these are things that
you're going to be able to find in the
Torah. The posuk says it by the Melech,
the Chasam Sofer said it's true for
anyone that learns Torah in the Richtige
Weg. There's an Indian of Shmuel Bodik
B'Safra Rab Yochanan Bodik B'Yanuka V'Im
Lo B'Chol Y'mei Chayo. And even when
it's not B'Kavana, doesn't you have to
have the special Godol HaDor Chochma
and do it in the right way, you know,
B'Lail Shimu Ram standing on one foot.
The Chasam Sofer said Gam Zeh Sh'Shua,
even when you're just enjoying Torah,
Anshei Atziosi, you're going to see the
Chasam Sofer going to talk to you
through the Torah. The Chasam Sofer is
going to be Madrich you. The Chasam
Sofer is going to give you which is
talking
to have a time of this and time of this
and to be to see the of the Torah
the guiding light of the Torah.
It should be and you should see.
