Amen. >> Okay. Letter Gimmelion of pain. Sounds like hungry, doesn't it? You were hungry. Stick ahead. In the brackets over here, it tells you it's an I. I did homework today. Yanke. Okay. I brought the Yakov. I brought the Medisha and the Yalit. All three that the Zerim quotes because I want to show it to you inside. We're learning now from the ini [sighs] he's quoting the Gar. One says the problem with the mun was it wasn't basal which means bread in your basket. Clalus had a challenge. The challenge was that throughout the desert for all the years, it was user for them to leave anything over. For people who want to feel like they have a little cushion, they have something to rely on. They have, you know, a bank account, right? >> All the money. They had a bank account that epis where they going to get food from in the desert. >> They had all the money. >> What are they going to eat gold? You're smarter than that. Right. You can have piles of money and you're in a desert and you have nothing. The is not buying you anything. There's nobody to sell. >> I want to be a good rebi to you. Okay. sometimes. Okay. If they have all the money in the world but they can't buy anything with it, there's no food in the deserts are garnished. And the is giving them enough food for that day and nothing more. So going to one in the Gmorra that's the that every day they had enough to eat but there was no pass that's one other if you can't see what you're eating if you can't see what you're eating it's not the same says the inashi the medishab and this is what is going to explain to us that having the best of not being able to see tinkle it's dark You're not going to enjoy it. You're eating and you don't see. So, you're eating great food, but you want to be able to see it. That's one shot. I'm already if I have the open, I'm going to read a little bit more. Why did the make it difficult with the why? The idea of the man was to give the opportunity to be to a high of as it says in order for Clausro to receive the Tyra. Interesting. Not just by leaving and not just by saying was the Gmorra is telling us that had to have a certain diet food appropriate. What about the prepared them? Why was the man an appropriate food for? >> Was there anyone that didn't eat the Everybody did, >> right? But the point is that if they wouldn't be eating the man, they wouldn't be able to receive the Tyra. Then in the desert, it wasn't by chance that the Aish took us to the desert. We didn't have what to eat. So now Cla's stuck. So the Aisha says, "Oh, they're in the desert and they're stuck. Let me give them food." No, no, no, no. It doesn't work that way. No. This was all part of the Aisha's plan. You're going to the desert. You're going to be in a place where there's nothing to eat. And you're going to have to eat man. And pink. This man will be the right food for you to be able to make. Why? It's important for a person to understand. I'll give you a 602 introduction. We live in a body with a body and we live with a soul. Before the of the GF and the nama had no mus and they weren't pulling in different directions. Adam and Kava their gof and their nama was created to be together to remain together. No need for mis and together they would have been and that's the life we have to have. There's a problem, however. I saw that the tree was good when it wasn't. It's not good. The just said, "Don't eat it." Like my used to say, it's not good to eat. It's not good to eat. And she ate it anyway. So her goof created a mativ a creation that did what her own nishama didn't want her to do. The nishama was begging, "Don't eat it. What are you eating it for?" And the g had a mind of its own. And that act, you know why? You're separating your from. It's not a punishment. As we've said many times, it's a reality. You're doing with your gof what your nama doesn't want. So you're going to destroy yourself from that time on because the goof didn't listen to the So now we have to subdue the gof toell it and make it part of the and not do what you want. A person's not unless the goof you say to the goof down boy not so much not so much because it doesn't go it the body and the soul will fuse together be no more steer the way it was in the beginning but now our unfortunately is the word comes from the word you have to bite. Do I need it? Do I not need it? Not just cuz it puts calories on you. Not just for that reason. Matzah, which is also another type of comes from the word fighting as well. It has to be you have to be able to lift up that and make it. So says the is the understood I'm going to have to give you a food that you're not going to have maximum enjoyment out of this food. You're not going to have maximum enjoyment. But you [clears throat] know what? It'll help you for now. Where is this lack of maximum enjoyment? Let's go to the already. There's a little bit more of that. I'm going to try to circle back. Now, it's page. I'm going to explain it to you with a medish where I mean Rabbi, can I ask you a question? Wasn't the mun the best food around? How so? No. >> You have whatever you want. Now that's you can have whatever you want. What's that? >> Absorb everything. >> Everything. There was no waste. There was no waste. Whatever you want. Imagine you could have milk and flies. You didn't have to wash your mouth out. >> That's right. >> Sound like >> Oh, I'm sorry. So why is it no good? Right. Right. Is right. You're right. So where's what's already not good? What's not good says I'm going to be maser to you. I'm going to tell you what was not good. I want to borrow. I want to look into the medish and kelis. So following the Zerimshin here, he gives you a snippet. I'm going to give you the whole medish that he quotes. It goes like this. When you have a lot of good, [snorts] more people come to eat. The story goes orb he asked us. What was wrong with the They had everything you needed. It tasted what you wanted. I'm going to ask you a question. How much money was given? Enough for the day and that lasted till tomorrow. So they were hungry >> that night. That night you mean they went to sleep. Mommy, I'm hungry. Didn't give you enough. So you had enough for two, three. You had enough for a day. Correct. >> You lack nothing. >> You lack nothing. So what's the what's missing? >> What's similar to the gave >> what's he showed him? I'll show you what's wrong. And instead of just I'm telling them, he went to his backyard, brought two. >> Who's this? Who's talking about? You know what are >> not onions? Squash or cucumbers. One was full and one was broken. But they were exactly the same size. They both weighed exactly the same size. One was a whole one and one was a one was a broken off one. And then he asked them, "How much do you think these cost? Tell me what you would pay. How much is the one that's complete?" Trey, we'll call it two bucks. How much would you pay for the broken one? A dollar. A dollar. But it's the same size in your belly. You're going to get the same size. The terret is you pay for appearance. You pay for appearance. Why is it not paying the the for those people, right? You're going to be just as satiated. You'll be just as full. Now, the is one is and one's a whole one. One looks nicer and one doesn't. You enjoy the food and you enjoy its appearance. The man will look the same every single day. The taste could taste what you want. Obvious. If you wanted ice cream, it didn't look like ice cream. It looked like mun. You wanted a steak, it tasted like a steak, but it looked like mun. He wanted to have nice chicken sule. It looked like mun. So the of the zer let's go back into the now that >> that's part of what the aisha wanted to bring them up to explain to them that the is not to have so much hano so that to to bring down the goof a little bit. Okay to that's exactly what the yakov is saying. Go to the now follow along in the like I told you. What is it mean? He gave them hungry to lost. He let them stay hungry. How much is the big one worth? The one that not big train right all you foodies there's it sad to say what's the presentation they Present >> presentation. >> Presentation. Yeah. You pay double for presentation. The same piece of chicken, right? >> In one second. This is the file. This is a zera shimshin original. This is the of the zershin. He learns they had enough food and you could taste whatever you want. I just showed you in the medish it says everybody admits that a broken cucumber like a full one. Appearance is everything. So the lack of appearance of the according to him that's And I'm going to bring you this is the he quoted earlier blind people in English a blind person can't see what he's eating. So he eats he eats but he doesn't become satiated. >> [snorts] >> Now, you have to get the maximum amount of hano out of. So, if so, I have to make sure that when you're eating, you could see the food. And I'm gonna be mad something. Rabbi Isai, none of that cheap paper plates. No, it's not presented nicely. No, just dropping the food on the table. The presentation that our rebbitson do to make the food look nice on Shabas is a of the mitzvah because part of the enjoyment is how it's presented. We just saw that in the medish and that says the excuse me the zerimal is afterwards. We have to make a beautiful shabas. Meaning the that the had that it had a beautiful time of it and it looked like the same day in and day out. It's the same thing day in day out that I can taste what I want but it doesn't look so appealing anymore. I'm looking at the same thing every single day. said [snorts] Claus felt that that was the enoi. They complained about it at one point in time. So now from that I learn that when you don't have appearance, it's not so gish. It's not really enjoying when it comes later on in generations and you have you have to make sure that the appearance you can't eat like a blind person candles that was there says the enjoy the taste and you say to it looks so pretty. Look how nice you're presenting nice dishes, nice food. It's presented so nicely. It's a of you can make it look so beautiful. [snorts] Even though you prepared all your foods, you prepared them beautiful. Did you prepare them to present them nicely that you need light that you need preposition that's and now says I want to tell you a big I want to talk to you about kadusha shabas we're learning tonight about of that's how here in par gives us this mitzvah Do you know why the aister gave us this man in such a way that it wasn't so pleasurable? It was great food. But the there was right. It says that he gave us and he tested us because as somebody mentioned anybody who ate the there was no waste. Do you know what it means? There was no waste. >> What? >> Waste >> is death. The food my said the concept of a bad smell is a simmon for miso said an unbelievable vert it's also I think brought in the ordalo by gdalure that the more alive something is >> when you take the the life out of it it creates tuma and a bad smell. The less life in something, the end of the life doesn't create to and doesn't create bad smell. And he explained, take a tree, take branches, take fruit, you let you pull the branches off of the tree. You pull the fruit out. Eventually, if nobody eats it, it rots. Does it become tummy? No. Does it smell bad? No. No. You know why? There wasn't so much life in it. Shine in a tree. How much life was it? Not so much. Take an animal has more life. It dies. Sherets, a raccoon, right? Doesn't smell good. Correct. It had more life. The lack of life of sheritz creates a tum. A human being. That's nifmeck. If you don't take care of it, it smells. I don't I'm not in that business of you know but it smells terrible foss because that lack of life was so much life that the lack of life created all of this to and stench [clears throat] every time you have when a person has a child with a dirty diaper right you know what that means You can't d you can't learn, right? Why? Because it's a so you can't say good. The had no waste. There was no waste. It was it was but it had one. The goof of the m didn't look so attractive. You couldn't see the right of the man was not in its >> but it looked better or they were able to see it better >> and Shabas had a different miracle that they doubled. One second. We're getting there. [snorts] You can't with your body have a which is So the gave it to him. On the weekday the took away some of its so he could bring it down to the level of the pay attention. I want to tell you a from the I don't know where else it says this. I mean he says it brings it down from the riesh [snorts] they eat on shabas is which is and when they put a person in the ground the food that he ate on shabas is not going to become only the weekday food. Whatever a person eats and you have flesh on and you have you have all the nice fatty foods does not become will not become Come warm that part of the that's weekday food. [snorts] My will be. So therefore you have a mitzvah. You have to be mad. You should be able to have the maximum from your and I'm going to jump ahead. The the the isra look at the last paragraph. What does that mean? Suda Shabas is not audish. This food is kish. Why did asks the call the sanctification of shabas kdesh? I could think of a better name, says the says. So maybe it should be called make a remembrance. [gasps] We don't weapes. Do you know why? Because you're being what does it mean you're being? Take a look at the last sentence in the previous paragraph right over there. Right before we said, you're eating like from you're eating from that's the of with this says the you have to have an orani. You have to have a light that has that kadusha. So in the middle over here the zer I'm going to go back now in the init of if you make your house and you make your I'll bring you the base your shabas can be a catalyst of [snorts] as I state in the medish and I will bring you this light. Can somebody bring me a sitter for shabasing if you're mad I will bring you the BR says and is called you bring the hisy Your light has come. Why do we say wake up? We start with shabus and then we position ourselves to the bto. You know why? Therefore, awaken for what we do in our house lighting candles says the medishim when you light your shabas candles you'll be that the of will come because the kadusha shabas has The to bring the kadushto this says the zerim is one of the that has when we light shabas. So first we said it has a that it's a that thanks to Shabas you can see the foodra it brings number that's why says the when you light the candles you daven for children which are because this light will bring tyra is the place where the tyra is and that's and that's and when you're lighting up your house the shabas is that all that you'll be able to do on Shabas will have a you'll see the food you'll enjoy the food you'll be shabas so you're bringing it's called because your comes how like the food of the bd The food never stunk. There were never any flies. There was never any death. Says the why because the base of key it's a house of life upon him never became spoiled. Your house on shabases becomes the base on le shabas. You can dav after your rabbits and lit the candles and you're coming to schol Shabas. You can say to the bikdash, you can say his wake up, I lit my candles. I lit my candles. So now you be your light and you bring that to us as we are now in the weeks of we're in the times of that we should be to the of to the of we should be thanks to that we're our
