PARSHAS VAYECHI DIVIDING CHUMASHIM IN A SEFER TORAH - Shiur by Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

You may have noticed either you got an aliyah at the end of parasi or maft or if you you're a co and you'll get the first aliyah of this week's para if you notice by hagba if you knew to look out there is no space between paras and paras meaning to say every other para in the whole entire Tyra. There's a space between one para and the next para either which means at the end of the para wherever the para ends there's space you leave the remainder of the line empty in a safer or a stoa which means there's a few letters of space there's definitely a space between one para and the next para when the writes a he has to leave a space if he doesn't actually it's possible This para does not have a space [snorts] and therefore rashi brings with why is it stuma? Yeah. If you're a baly so usually when you start learning to find a para Monday Thursday it's easy to find the para there's a space even if it's only a few letters of space but you see you see where the para starts my son lanes so I asked him he lain in yeshiva not every week but he lane this week so I asked him did he have a hard time so he said he knew already which to look and we are on the vote these different layouts but he knew how to find it but he's literally no there's no space of Of course, there's a space between one word and the next like every other word. It's not attached but there's a space like from one word and the question is if there is no space between who said that is a separate para there's no space. So who said that it's a different parish? Maybe it's one parish by that goes till the end of and they both answer and they say the following. We have a cabala this that we know all the paras in the split the par is a cabala from Ezra whose yard site was this past Monday. We have a cabala from Ezra who knew from Mosha Rabenu. He was he had clearly fromu exactly each para and included in that was and there's no space and therefore parasa that's why brings about did he also make >> what say >> I don't know I don't know if that's that's incre you're asking was it from Ezra about the parabas I don't now I just want to say that that [snorts] of connecting the parishes has to do with finishing the Torah once a year and like what the Gomorrah says he was something that finished the Torah every three years. Yeah. >> That's was one of the people that say you should finish a year. No, >> it was and I thought his was one >> to finish it. We have to m No, no, we'll maybe after today we'll be m What do we have so far between one para and another para you're supposed to you have to make a space a or a sto you make a space what's about between from one PK between one Pik and the next PK is there extra space from one Pik to the next PK more than between one word and the next word which of course that would make it easier for a bal to know what's a safe p a lot of times a bal if he's not it didn't appear properly you see sometimes they run in from one pos to the next p it would be easier is there a space between one p and the next pik and the answer is if you take a look in the there isn't it's interesting the the however says the says you're supposed to leave additional space between one and the next more than between one word and the next. says like the so the says that the got this from the reash says the moan if you take a look in the reos the reash is just saying that if you made an extra space you gave more space between from one to the next p it's still cauter but not that you have to do you're not supposed to put additional space and the brings from this week's para we're learning the garam meaning to say there are five places in the it's really a word we don't know if the word the understanding of the word connects to the previous word or the word goes along the next word. It could go both ways and we don't know. Ty said asks what do you mean? Take a look with the trump. And says the gabbar means without the trump says we don't know where this word belongs to. Does it go backwards or does the word go? There are five of these words. One of the five is this week's para. When is giving the to his kids then the next goes says the gammor we don't know if the is connected to the previous word or it's going or it's says the moan if like what the says that you're supposed to make a space between one poss and the next P. So let us take a look and see where is the space is the space before then we know goes on on the next P and if the space is after then we know that the is on the P before the other four words that the Gmorra and Yuma speaks about are all words in middle of the PK. This is the only one that the word is is in the beginning of a PK. So the we're not sure is the part of the old the previous PK or the PK that it goes. We don't know where the belongs to says the let's take a look where is that additional space being if it's befoream before. So then we know aur goes together with. But if the space is between and then we know that goes back on before. But says that we do not make an additional space between one and the next. That's [snorts] you look in the get an aliyah. There's no space between one and another. It's a same between one word and the next word. Hur we have over here two inra when a cyher writes a and it's nice for us to know this is tora when you get an aliyah you'll notice it between one par and the next par these are these there's a space between one p and another p there is no extra space more than between one word and the next now we're going to move on to a third nuda Between one and another this week is par [clears throat] there are the is five parts five fifths of the Tyra. There are five fifths of the Tyra calls it says the Gmorra the Gmorra says that between each you you have to put an extra space but not like between par that's which means a few letter space or till the end of the line says the gammori is supposed to leave uh four lines four lines of empty space and that you could you could see this week by you should be able to see the end of you'll see these four lines the Gar says and these four lines Though even though I said it's a barbass, it's a clear barbass the garra says in the different you're supposed to have four lines between just to know in the way to read the is a whole I'm not going to we're not going to go into it. But mish one pointer he says that really this gamur is talking about when you have together that's where it's speaking about four lines when if it's all together not a discussion but what he says is the if you take a look in the ram the ram says it twice once ince the same that say needs four lines. So he says this Gomorrah is talking about something different. The for this that you're going to see in the and our say for four lines is actually not the Gmorra. It's a cipher. It's from the already just okay upon him. We said that it's a what happens if you're riding boracious and then you're finishing on the bottom of the bottom of Ahmed. So, do you have to still leave four spaces, four lines on the top? You understand what I'm saying? If it's a middle, you finish halfway down the you leave a break, a heapsic, four lines and then you continue. What's if you're on the bottom of the If you're on the bottom of the you still have to leave four lines, which means you on the top you skip four lines. There'll be a blank of four lines and then you go you can hear that maybe not because my city is ash from one column to the next. So really the gammor already says the gar says the words of the gar of this same gumar. You end on the bottom of you stop you start l on the top and Rashi explains and the bot not that you have to if while you're writing you finish one on the bottom of then which means you don't have to have a four line space >> cloud do more than four lines let's say you're seven lines from the bottom and it's just easier to start Could you do more? We're going to speak about it. The though we're really going to speak about less, but if I remember correctly, I think they say more as well. We're going to get to it very shortly. If you finish on the bottom, says Rashi, you don't have to leave Shan. You don't have to leave four on the top. just right away go to the next however argues the re and the re says that no you always have to leave four lines even if you're on the bottom of the you still have to leave four >> so that would be from the top you mean >> yes from the top which means if let's say finishes on the bottom bottom of the of the page of the of the of the safety instead of starting the sham on the top Ahmed there'll be four of lines. There's always space on the top of a there has to be space. There's space on the top before where you start writing. Then you on top of that space you're going to leave four lines that would have been written on the column before and the column afterwards is going to be written. There's going to be four blank lines. Says the you have to leave four lines. You you have to leave four lines. And the re brings a from where just like and sto we mentioned in the beginning between each para one must leave a space with the exception of this week's para you have to leave a space and if you don't leave a space it's possible so too says the re one leaves a space on the top of the Even though you finish on the bottom clear Rashi says you don't have to say you leave a space ripul RSki and Bob over here he asks he says I want to understand brings a from this that at the end of a par you have to leave a space either a few letters till the end of the line. So is it at the end of the end of you have to leave says four lines says there's a very big difference between the end of a para and the end of the end of a para the spaces that you leave is a space mitsur mitsur this is how it's supposed to looks meaning to say it's not a heftsick. It's not because there has to be a break between one para and the other para. The way how it's supposed to look is with letters in between with spaces either a few letters or to the end of the line. It's he says you bring a look at the you take a look in the Rambam says which again we said is that it's blank till the end of the line says the andro is is in the how it's supposed to look the to have these spaces. So therefore if you skip it again with the exception of this week's para it's possible the look of the has to have para by the way para doesn't only mean in the par itself also right pays that's par each between a pay and a that's a par says between one and another that's not how it's supposed to look. You know why you leave a space to be mafik between so if you finish on the bottom of the you don't have to go and leave another four lines on the top of you finish on the bottom of one the next is good enough then it's considered a break a halfick if it needs to be mitsur how it should look oh so then you have to have a stumo you have to have letter space between one and another it's not in the look in the surah and you need a break. So between one column and the next column that is a break and ma asks what's the is saying that you need a break from between one parish and the other of course you need between one and the other you don't need. He goes on to say the following in the beginning of gin brings to explain the mig that when writing a get a get is written with 12 lines. Tyus says why 12 lines. Tyus says wampshot and Tyus brings from rayen and remissy that a get in the tyra is called safer creases to be kyus to divide to split to separate between a husband and a wife said to go let's take a look in the safety What is what separates oneish from the next are these spaces over here that we're speaking about? There are four lines. Four lines that are kus that are a heftic that split between boracious and sham. Four lines between shm and vayra between vayra and bidbar. So how many how many lines do we have? So bat 16 says very nice but it's 16. Why is it 16 between bacious and shammises four and in other words you have five and you have four spaces in between each space is four lines four * 4 is 16. So says that we don't count that space the lines between and because is only so it's we don't count those lines fine so it's 12 lines that's why the meaning when writing you get 12 lines is to count the the spaces between the excluding and the however the m brings the shame that say that we do count between midbra and the varam also the spaces I that's 16 they say that you don't count the first of the four lines of each why because the first line is within every single para there has to be a face when you finish beracious at the end of the line. So you have to leave one line that there should be a space within each para. So therefore you could only count three of the four lines. Yeah. meaning to say the say you don't count you have three times four [snorts] three breaks of four lines and it's four breaks four times three lines you only count three out of the four lines one line you don't count says how do you understand that you take a look in the there are four lines. These are these four empty lines. So what does it mean? One is you only count three out of the four. If you take a look in the safety, there are four blank lines* 4 is 16. Why would you not count one of the four lines? He says it's the first line is since it's that line it's not a heapsic it's not a creisus the other three lines is to be mafik between so those three lines you count towards how many lines you should be to get that's also a mafikus m the first of the four lines says not he it's so you don't count that line. In other words, when you're going to see if you get an aliyah, you get you get you see, you see four lines [snorts] of explaining one line is and one line and three lines. So that's what he explains why why three you only count three out of the four lines. What does tus hold that says you count all all four lines holds that it's it's the same thing. It's an extended between every par these it's one line between we get a lot bigger between each I mean we get bigger and we have a bigger we have [clears throat] a bigger instead of one line it's four lines says you could count all four lines says he could count all four lines is that it's the same as but instead of one line it's four lines Let's turn back to Tyus and Baba that Tyus the says that you if you finish on the bottom of the you still have to put four lines on the top says what do you mean by it has to be in the at the end of it didn't have but just like inus and holds that it's the same thing and that's why you have to always put the lines This piece was a little more, let's call it, complex, even if you didn't get it. Now, we're going to go on to, let's call it a little bit of easier part. The Gmorrah says that you need to have four lines. Four lines. I one more piece very quickly. Mamish briefly. We said rashi is that you leave you don't have to leave any space on the top. The is we just said that you leave four lines on the top. And the is that not that [snorts] you don't leave and not that you do leave. You're not supposed to end on the bottom of a You're not supposed to end on the bottom of it's not it's not though some are you know could be some are we're not going to it's it's brought it's brought the writes that these are most hold. You don't have to be to be that the shouldn't end on the bottom of a of a but it's the dog says yes to be even though in his ch but this chuva is his son his son says you don't have to be so has a chuva and he writes also to try to beish for this not to end on the bottom of again we have and if you end on the bottom do you leave four lines on the top the says don't do that the says we should try to be for this not to end on the bottom of the however says theam if you see when you're writing you're going to hit the bottom of the so what you want to try to do is you want to try make the letter smaller and squeeze. So like this you're going to end earlier and not end on the bottom of Ahmed. That's a bazillion for the safety. You imagine you're looking you're laning and it's all fetched over there and squishy and small. Then you should ride it regularly even though you're going to finish on the bottom of but it's better that it shouldn't end on the bottom. And that's what you'll find. You you look in the tick in kyum, it's always in the middle or could be pretty much towards the top or the bottom, but never ending ending on the bottom. I looked at one of the tick and cut. I think one of them actually has one line on the top. One line and then and then four blank lines. But what says therevo is not to finish on the bottom of going to the next. Just real briefly to finish up, but this is an important important on the note of the four lines. But you mentioned it a little bit. What happens if you didn't write you didn't leave any any four lines? Is it cauter? Are the four lines? We see a you should rather do it in the middle, not on the bottom. What happens if you didn't you didn't leave the four lines you didn't leave four lines is so quoted the tash says that the four lines is not four lines is not and therefore he says that even if the [clears throat] if you finish you could have two lines on the bottom of two lines on the top you could have all four lines on the top not like what we said cuz that's the lines are not the already says in referring back to that says four lines >> what say even but even even the garra says to leave four lines everybody agrees to do it we're not saying if I said you don't have to I said it wrong it's not that you don't have to if you didn't leave four lines it's not mak however however even if we just said now that you you don't leave four lines it's not if you left no space says the tash to say for because it's like from a little bit like what we spoke earlier if it's connected or not But whether it's connected or not between and is not any different than between any other par that has so you have to leave a space at the end of that line. >> Oh what space do you have to leave? Very good mo [clears throat and cough] the understands in the in the in the tashit [clears throat] the understands that there has to be which means the minimal amount of space is let's say you finish in the middle of a line you have to you have to leave it till the end of the line not which means the minimal for the to be is at the end of you have to finish and leave space till the end of the line. The argues he says nearly that it needs more than between one par and the other par if you till the end of the line you need a full line you need a full line which means you have the end of the para the end of the you finish at the end of the line you need to leave one full line that's four lines the gammorra says to have full lines but one line is [snorts] the garra says to have four lines upon even if you don't have four lines you have to have at least till the end of the line or a full line though the it's like this says this also clar four lines is not but one line is he does bring in his He brings a that the says that the difference between one par and another parish is doesn't need any says this says you need no space between a between one and the next but that's not you need a space four lines four lines is I'm sorry I'm over allow me one more minute just to bring out the atcom we spoke about if you're the writing the Tyra I don't think I don't know anybody of that however it's still important to know it's and you get an ali you have an awareness to know about this one that I want to say that's that are split up we spoke about how many lines four lines if it's one I want to share with the says that if you have a that has a you can't use the safer you can't use the safety it's possible can't be what happens you lain in the let's say this week's par was found soul was found comes next there's no other safer besides this safer in the sh says that because when you're going to lay in it's a differentish as long as that is says even though boracious you found boracious If in that it's says the you could use the says even though it's not so [clears throat] says what this is up here and he says and and he says that it's possible you can't but there the says you could and the the the ends when he goes on he brings up it's not so and he says if the only safer that makes the safer apostle >> yeah you could you could so Very good. That din that says that you can't how the [clears throat] explains this is what the saying is that say that you can't use apostles. Very good. I even have it highlighted. I I'm I'm rushing a little but good say that you can't use such a safer still says and says to use a safer that has a one to from a different but what we discussed now about the saff part there's also between one and another what we see from apostle that in one. You could still use the for another. Have a wonderful shamas. The muscle.
