Okay, good evening on Tuesday night. It's not a par. It's a lip ben. Tonight is their yard site the misadim. There's a gimar in shabis and gimf. We're going to learn the moral on that and if we have time we'll learn a little bit about as well in the [sighs] if you want to know what a person is really all about. Watch what happens when he or she is nif from the husband of a person's not that yet. Mayor B. We're going to get there. If a from the person you can see is come and sit next to me. Okay. And then the gimar says and now I'm quoting the moral in your handout. Let's hear what they say about him. [snorts] You'll know what he's really all about. The moral is going to say something fascinating, a real eye opener. Rabbi is pirish. This is inu by the death of a person what they say about him according to who he is either or the death of the person is this a righteous person. His mis is where is he going? If I could be so kind to ask you in front of the tibour to maybe go to 18 upstairs or downstairs because it's disturbing the shar. I'm sorry. Or to learn a little bit lower. Thank you. Thank you very much. I apologize. I'm sorry. His so listen to this Rabbi say the mis of the person will beh that they'll talk about him in such a way the if you want I'll tell you more the way a masid or the way people talk about someone after they passed away the maharal couldn't find anything more appropriate than telling you the way a is inspired by the Main influences the people. I'm reading from the mar rab say influences the people as what to say that they'll say what's true and they won't say she a person who's nif if wherever he's going >> going up or going down because it's close to the in other words it's something which is right that should happen. You want to know what a person's like after he passes away says the because You sometimes have people are jealous. They don't want to say anything nice about him. They're jealous of him. Sometimes they like him too much and they exaggerate and then he passes away. [snorts] Certainly that level of s is no longer there anymore is blighted now. Now that the are away after a person passes away when his leaves his g at that point in time then Allah I'm not saying that everybody's perfect and all of a sudden we grown the best and became the best friend of the graces and the grace he's already dead and what comes out now a person can that means in English now he can allow himself to say what he wants to say about the person now you can hear what's going on behind it these excuse me these who is a town from The of the you are the children of the aishar. The tyra gives us the perspective on the hash of how Jews are supposed to look at death at the loss of a family member. going to do. You're not supposed to go ahead and scratch yourself because you are children in all the places where the Tyra emphasizes that you are the aishar's children is here. When a person is mourning a loss, when a family member passed away, if this is where the Tyra is telling you that you are Hashem's children, there's a very good reason. You have to know death has to be good. Why? Because if the aishar is your father and he's your children and as a normal he's a normal father then how could he be do something wrong to his child that it's coming from a goodness Why does it say ham? Because it's through the the extra he is feminine says the taking of from this world happens through the is involved with this because you're a holy nation. And he brings aesh tells over at the end of par by it talks about the comes down to this world comes comes down to this world. These are and they're even bigger than why are such great is coming down to this world. It's going down from their what is this for? a king who had a child. He sent his child off to boarding school. He sent them to a village as oan. They should bring like you know they would go once upon a time they would send the little kids even six, seven, eight years old would send them away sends an down to this world until he's taught the ways of the king. cry. When the king hears my kint, he's already smart. My child has graduated. It's time to bring him home. Because of his love of his child, he sends the mama. He says, "Go bring our son home." When the child hears he's coming home, he's going back to the palace. He's going back to the king, he's so happy. These are very it's beyond the scope of this shar to understand what it means. The when he's mavic with matronus is ben and this who is this ben the eloadish that's the of he sends him to the to the sends him to this world. So he should be misgu. He should do mitzvah and learn the ways of the king. When the sees that this child is ready and he's graduated and he's an adult and he knows the it's time to bring him home where to the palace back to where you belong. When is it's the most pleasurable time because he sees at that time not the he sees the like it's known doesn't leave this world until the matron the doesn't come to get it. It doesn't leave. That's what the nama is experiencing. However, those people are living in the city zan. They're crying cuz they miss their city. They miss their comrade. They miss their friend. They miss their Because the because the left they're crying once upon a time there was and he came to the people of the crowd and he says what are you crying for is he's doing fine m the Isn't he the son of the king? Where do you think he is now? Where do you think he is? You think he was going to live here forever? Don't you think he's going to go back to the king one day? He was only a guest. He didn't belong here. This isn't his place. He's by his father. You are children of the don't get bent out of shape when somebody's when it's going to where is he going to as a matter of fact he's going home he's going back to his place that's their that's our sad you miss him but don't have to worry about him he's in a good place on the day of the pet of a person it's a what's he because that's the time where he gets to see his moaned and he sees all the work he sees all that he toiled and the people who come to take him with back to there is all of those people who he was miscasher in the MS if if it's theim the all those people that have a in this world when his leaves go that's a it's a day of praising a day of happiness excuse me in the in the as as it says in the medish What's happening? He's going to Ganeden. He's going to He's going to a place of bliss. His g will be reconnected one day. His goof is reconnected. Now when the shama leaves go, yes, the family has a mask. The family's crying. They miss him. The family has the to do what they have to do. I said over once, we could say it now too. When I lost my mother's and she was two weeks shy of 101 and she lived many many years in Los Angeles and she had lived a very very fruitful and she was working till 99 years old. say, "How many 99y old ladies make $80 an hour?"

She was able to have a sh with all of the be there for them when she was I don't know what to do. I feel very guilty if you're not. It's a problem. I said my mother what I didn't cry that also you don't understand in English. That's why [laughter] I didn't cry. So he opened up. Where's that? He just made a open over there says where is it? It's right here. over there talks about a who's and can't say which mitz is he from which is he not theor says well what about anel why isn't he part two says the rashi gmorra one is the mitzvah the mitzvah the mitzvah means he's busy doing a mitzvah the other one the o is now listen to rabbi Even though an is to keep mitzvah needless a sandal, he can't wear shoes. This is all you don't have to have. You don't have you know what tar means pain. You don't have to have tar raman beerman told me. He showed me this rashi on the first night when I a few hours after I buried my mother. He said that's from this world is going to a better place. He's in this world. He's in a village. He's going home. He's going back and he has no yard is the commemoration of when he went back home to where he belonged. So Allah we ask you know what that means [laughter] the day that he died. How come all you Jews are happy? Why are you celebrating? The says yeah because the life in this world is for the next by us when it's not just for him but everybody who participates you learn is there's nothing to be bent out of shape about when I'll go back to the mar which we started when a person is nifer the Mace himself is the defining moment of vape for the mace who goes to Gan. So this is of for that and he like a prophetic message that was we read together tells the person menu what you should say the mace influences the person a person person gets an influence how do I know what then afterwards is over wash I said the right thing who do you get it from says you got it from the nif said before >> I'm repeating it for those people who just came okay and because it's the end of the sh you know the same shar the moral share that the mas is not such a bad thing you went through that >> right that was The difference whose yard sites are today for all of us who will learn his or to be able to beg and for all of those who are to sponsor and to be part of the Tyra and the learning alazine.
