TES TEVES – EZRA HASOFER & HIS TAKONOS FOR ALL GENERATIONS - Shiur by Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

This Tuesday is really Tuesday. What does it have to do with now with Shabas Friday? So the says that some of the in today's year I would like to focus on a different tus coming up this week That's and that's the time of testavis Monday test a whole list of different tim it's the is a miraus obviously not the ones the tus that's brought besides that but other days and the says different which is this Sunday we're not going to speak about but also as a because that was the day that the was translated but then the says and it's a migillus it's a and says we We don't know what happened. We don't know what happened. It's not just the migillas that was written in this man of the Gmorra and Shabas that we all at some point came across the Gmorra and Shabas about the B that has the whole story of Kaneka. My Kaneka the Mur for that Gammorra is the migillas tinus. So when Tus most of it speaks about the and the happened the last per is a per that lists all the quotes from over there the days of Tus and one of the days is testavis but the migillas says we don't know what happened testavis the they ask slash suggest what do you mean? If you take a look in the of of the lotion in the first what embarrassment on the ninth day what happened who Ezra Cipher that was the day that Ezra was nif so they suggest that's the reason why it's a young time it's a young time because Ezra was nif it's more over there in the pkim they say that it's also the yard side of brings that it's a different yard site as well. But we're going to focus on what a lot say which we see to clearly in the the yard set of Ezra. It's interesting the brings and suggests that really the yard side is but we anyways have the tinus of so therefore we push her back to testavis. It's a because really in the in the yard is says it's and that's why we fast we fast because testavis is the isavus but he asks that the garill the tisha falls out on chabas it happens often so when is tisha it gets pushed further further away to Sunday. We don't move it back earlier. So it's interesting over here to say that if the yard set out of Ezar is and we're anyways fasting on we move it back to testavis. We should push it forward to the ask on this reason to say that a test the reason why it's a fast day is because of the because of Ezra asked first of all to make a tinus on a person on a day that somebody was nif after even though you do find a little bit you find which is brought in but they ask only on somebody that when a person let's say um son gadalia that he was killed so such a type of thing was also by by haras gdalia it was pus malus so it wasn't just itself that was the malus malus the malus stopped so that's consider like a we fast asks which we just mentioned before that speaks about when when Ezra was nifed the lion is embarrassment what kind of embarrassment is it that Ezra Cipher was nif so therefore they say it's not mitad ezra that was nif that's why we fast rather when Ezra was nifer. It was nvolif was the last ni the last from the theim ends by treyer. The last of Treyaser is Malahi. The Radak right there, but it's a Gomorrah. The Gomorrah says Malahi Zu Ezra. It's actually a Shila. And with that ended safer Ezra is already it's not so we said before the fast day is because Ezra was nif and for that to ask where do you find that when is that it's but the ter is that it's not that he was nif when was nif was and that's why it's a tinus up up until then knew what to do. They heard from the what to do. So that's a pretty serious thing. When Ezra was na that was the end of era that's why interesting theam cipher he really goes he does go with this that it's the mis that Ezra cyher was dter And he explains the following. First of all, we why do you fast when somebody's nifer? He answers all the sh and he says the following. The gammor and sanhedrin the garra says it was that thera should be given by ezra cipher. That's how big Ezra was. that he could have been the however came first but the Gomorrah says the Tory was given through Ezra Cipher and what's the shot originally theurist that we have was something that was only in the safe all of did not have it these there's a lot of history but we'll just get we'll take out the point of it. This from every letter and everything he took out a lot of is from buturus was only something that came about much late that became public only later up in the beginning before Ezra cipher if somebody needed information like taking out the opened up to say they looked and they saw the letters to So you all the from was all is all from the tag that you know from the knew it and if the if the had any questions they opened up the safer and they looked at it. However, in the times of Ezra Cipher, she started coming was also the time that stopped, but started coming to Clausro and Ezra said it public for everybody to have access to this is what we have now. What to say for is written before that it was written lio. I'm not exactly sure what letters he's I tried researching it a little bit and I asked you know from the living Torah museum he sent me he told me it's see if I have it here I don't have it with me alapana was a different lettering that everybody used everyone used a different lettering came Ezra and Ezra was mafar that everybody should know that wrote down the even though it was [clears throat] what happened afterwards was in the beginning of what happened afterwards afterwards like we mentioned before on they translated the Torah into a different language. What happened was is [clears throat] that you were able to now understand a [clears throat] POS one way. Up until now when you when whenever somebody learned a it was clear that every word has multiple different understandings. Clearly when tell us many that come out it's like that because when the says something we can't particularly understand one way just [snorts] say however it's better to say and as the mission explains because besid ides that some words we don't understand some words have multiple different understandings. So when you're going to say it in English for an example, you're going to take one pirish. There's no other language that you could say one word that could have multiple explanations. The way the Tory when says one word, he gives examples that it would mean many different things. Like this up until they translated the Tyra and [clears throat] able you had the Tory in a different language. Up until then, whenever you saw a word, whatever kazal told us, that was the definition of what the Tory meant. Once they translated and you saw you were able to understand the one way, the way that language wrote it from then started apocarsis from then started that said the Tory says this doesn't say that. It never was in the history of kali because it always was whatever the safer whatever the tora said meant whatever kazal said because you could understand it in multiple different ways. It wasn't just that you had to believe them and that when we had the Torah the Torah for us was any word meant a lot of and then when they translated we lost that what's mean we we said before and others some ask what do you mean loa we don't know what happened Ezra was so what does it mean right we added the sh it's not like a hidden thing that was his yard it's in the that's so what does it mean says we don't know we didn't know we don't know what Ezra accomplished for us what Ezra what was his accomplishment that he publicized That's what he accomplished. He was mafarum. Everyone should know what was the accomplishment of just another way how to write something is to [clears throat] see with all the to see that in every word these multiple different. So that being that the language is the Torah was translated to different languages. We no longer had and see what was what accomplished. says we don't know we lost what accomplish for that it's a young so we said either it's the the yard the yard site or it's when Ezra was n there was pus or yet a third part it's really the yard sight of Ezra Cipher but not just because he was nifer but really it's a yinness connected to the day before that we lost we don't even know what we accomplished with Ezra Cipher all these that it's connected to Ezra Cipher many ask from the lion of the quote this millas and they say no and And then they continue and they say Ezra >> first of all it's because besides that another another reason is which would seem that the the reason why we fast is not because M is Ezra. The law should they say is there has to be obviously another reason I think the law should they say is and what they bring is that it's the day that is Yoshka was born that's what they say this is also a history thing in getting the dates but these different mittles could we'll speak about it next week Friday this week and next week it's khazar so it's not The overview of the daff next week Friday night is at least the second n people hold that nitl maybe we'll elaborate a little next week Friday to give a little background of it but the definition of nettle I forgotten what language is is birth that's when he was born so if you check the English date comes out to be at least that's what they say comes out to be test so that's why it's a tinus so this is interesting this is a a And the reason he writes loa is because they couldn't write that fasting. I'll make a the but really it's the reason is is because it's the day that is born. It's kadai to go in a little bit. into what Ezra Cipher was massaken to Gomorrah Babakama to Gomorra teaches us that Ezra Cipher made 10us I'm going to try to go through if we can go through all we'll see how much the time allows to go through briefly the tent takonus and a little bit so to speak the come out from it itself is takis is The garra says first one and like the garra explains and rashi what was the takabas there was no ka there was no learning throughout the whole week so for the people that don't learn throughout the week there was no ker people didn't people who work didn't learn bakl so He added in another creasy besides a ka satyra of the morning that was not takra. He added in that you should lay in shabas afternoon. So there should be more tyra. That's the first takana. The second taka bashiabishi lain Mondays and Thursdays fractur on [clears throat] this second taka Ezra cipher was Messak to lay Monday and Thursday it wasn't Ezra Cipher's takana they did it way before Ezra they did it already in the times of the midbraenu I think they say it's raenu but the shabad of the midbar were messen up. What the PC says they went three days without watery. In other words, they went three days without Tyra. So they were Msakenra on Shabas Shabas morning Monday and Thursday. So this that we lay is already older taka before Ezra. It's already the days of Mosher Rabenu that we lay Shabas Monday and Thursday. So what's what was Ezra Msaken? So the garra says that before Ezra it was in a much lighter way meaning to say is either was only one person three or or three people each one one poss 10 three alias which agav being that Ezra ciphers's yard is this bond Monday. That's that's clear. That's uh this Monday. So it comes out the satire of this Monday has a much has a a deep meaning. It's on the yard side of Ezra and we're laning. the this Gomorrah that the Gomorrah says that Ezra only added on to the is bi and you shall again the bavi says that really Mondays and Thursdays laning was already before Ezra cipher rashi in Gilafal when the Mishna in the beginning of the third pay per the Mishna lists out all the different days and the mounts of alias Monday and Thursday and Shabas and Yam and Yamipper. So Rashi says on this that the Mish lists out Monday and Thursday. Rashi says Monday and Thursday Ezra to Monday and Thursday. So they ask on Rashi what is Rashi saying Ezra it's before Takonus Ezra we just saw the Gomorrah the garra says that the tak was already moenu the maritas and others the rashash I think it's theash is not over on that so he doesn't answer but says it's Clearly the isi holds that the whole entire takana from a to z was all through Ezra which is not a fullish rashi because why is rashi going with the if if the go the bavi says that ezra if it wasn't msaken lisa on this question the reason why rashi He says Ezra was Msaken because the mission is listing out the amount of alias and the amount of alias and the mission doesn't say but when the mission is listing all the amount of the alias before Ezra it was either one aliyah with three or it's three people one so for sure if it was only one Ali and the Mishna says three alias so that was Ezra's taka to have three alias Just to bring out this takana, the takana of laning Monday and Thursday. Even though we lane in the morning, the tono wasn't to lane in the morning. The tono was to lane on Monday and Thursday. We lane in the morning. And that's because reason because not to leave for later. But the for whatever reason you did not lane. You were on a plane and there was no and you come to your stroll and you go into and you have a minion so you could lane later but you should lane in the morning they bring a was traveling and in the afternoon he came to with a they lane later. So just on this second takana, the takana was to lane on Monday and Thursday. It's not a takana that they stock it. The takana was to lane. We we lane obviously in the morning because when makim we do it right away. The third takon of Ezra is octora that binim shall sit Monday and Thursday. [clears throat] First takana was to lay shabas afternoon. Second takana was to ka of Monday and Thursday at least three alias you know added on. Third was brought like the Mishna Bubis Mnay. So much later. Ezra Cipher lived in the beginning of Bishi. The Mishnayas Raben Mishnayas was later the Mishnayas was written for sure after the Kaneka. The Mishna sometimes by passing mentions about Kaneka which happened about 200 years into Bayeni. Anyways, the mission in the beginning exubus the Mishna says why? Because if she if it turns out that she's not Absula Harashi explains why he's still steaming mad the next morning you could run to Bazdon. What do you mean the next morning? The next morning because he's a Bdon Mondays and Thursdays. But it's important to note the garra of ggiml explains and tissus and babakama when the tyus when the garra lists these 10 takis tiss says what was what was Ezra Masaka that they should be bezen Mondays and Thursdays what do you mean they should be best in Monday and Thursday before Ezra he was bezen every day so he said no no no don't sit every single day only Monday and Thursday so Tyus explained means that before Ezra Cipher true when there was a town that had a bezdon that town sat every single day but what Ezra was Msakin is that every single town should have a bezdon every year should have a bezdon Mondays and Thursdays he never made that no no no don't sit every single day only sit Mondays and Thursdays the data was that every single place should have a bezen that's whyever a person gets the town as a basin the next morning number four to do laundry Thursday it's brought the first the says the brings that Ezra to do Laundry Thursday chabas. Now what was what exactly was the takana? Most understand many others the takana was a to do laundry and another of the takana was you're doing laundry do it Thursday. Why Thursday? So Friday you have time. You have time to prepare for Shabas. Imagine now the shortest Fridays you start doing laundry. In the olden days, this wasn't just the push of a button. It was hours of work. So what was Ezra? First of all, do laundry. Have a clean shirt for Shabas. The you're doing laundry, make sure to do it Thursday, not Friday. However, the Moganav Ram, but at least now the Makle understands the Mogav the Menav understood that even without Takonas Ezra to do laundry for Shabas that's Medin to have a fresh shirt for Shabas that was before Takonas Ezra Ezra was never Msaka to do laundry Ezra to do laundry for Shabas. Ezra's takas. You're cleaning. You need a clean shirt for Shabas. You're doing laundry. Do it Thursday. This D, this Ezra is Naya. It's Naya this year. It shouldn't be ne but tishov is Thursday. Like I'll be doing laundry already. Ma tish Thursday night. But these are the understanding of this takus Ezra. What's takra to do laundry and it should be Thursday or you always supposed to do laundry? Tako was to do it Thursday. Maybe maybe it is that a person did not do laundry Thursday. It's Shabas and he realizes that he doesn't have a clean shirt. Maybe it would be enough between these two between the and the Ezra was to do laundry and to do it Thursday. So maybe if a made to do it but their tako was to do it Thursday. So if it's Friday and you don't have it, you want to get a a fresh shirt, wash a fresh shirt because Ezra was mak to have clean clothing said do it Thursday. But that you're supposed to have clean laundry for that even do it Thursday. But Ezra didn't say that if you're not going to do it Thursday. You didn't do it if you didn't do it Thursday, don't wear a clean shirt. They weren't not wearing clean of wearing a clean shirt on. They just said do it Thursday. Maybe lefto if you don't have a clean shirt do laundry on on Friday. The next takana. So we have so far we went through four out of the 10 takas of Ezra cipher. The next takana number five number one is shabas min. Number two is laning Monday and Thursday. Number three was the dem number four doing laundry. Number five the shabas to eat garlic. That's marbera. It's not brought in but brings us then of Shabas Le Shabas because Shabas is the sh brings and explains that this D of the Mishna brewer is Ezra and they bring that to the brewer brings it says Davka roasted in my goyan says is cooked but not raw cuz raw actually does damage but not raw should be it should be roasted. It's very interesting the stifler goes ahead and gives a recipe how to prepare it. He says you should roast it till it becomes semi brown and once it's brown when you roast it you're not like well brown then it has the mile what it could give and the problems leave. He also says that it's takonas ezra to eat it. These are shar you should eat a kazhas aa. He says to myself if a person does indeed the school of what the gala gives that it's marble able to have kids then then you don't have to eat the shir but it's this is the takana and it's spelled out clearly takana is for everybody even a person that's not married. It's just interesting. I I don't know so much that it's the minim it's the no I I I haven't seen it. >> Why should a nonmar person do this? It's >> they bring it I think the spells it out clearly. I think it's a that says brings clear that that everyone should do it. But it's interesting because really it's a schooler rather more than a ton. It's a schooler. [snorts] The next takana another if it's okay whoever has to go could go another 2 3 minutes. Takono number six of to get up and bake. Why? The Gomorrah says and Arashi explains a little more. Harashi understood is that the day that the woman is going to bake bread, she should get up early to bake earlier than the regular time. Why? So when a honey comes around breakfast time, she shouldn't be busy baking the bread, it should be ready by then. It should be ready. So whatever day it is, if she bakes on a Tuesday for the for the week, she should do it early. like this at 7:00 a.m. when aie knocks on the door, the bread should be available for the honey. But often that this has nothing to do what the says in the beginning of Shabas of baking bread for Shabas with the reasons and the school and of nothing to do this Ezra is when you bake bread bake it early so the will have it. If you take a look at the Ramad Ramad doesn't say that it's Ezra and it also doesn't say to be mashkim you bake bread out of Shabas. You don't have to be mashkim. You can bake bread at 11:00 in the morning today Shabas. The Rambam also when the Rambam quotes this takon it's not in it's in is when the Rambam says that if a person can't afford help a maid what the woman has to do and then the Rambam brings that when she makes bread whatever day that is she should get up early to appear will be available for the honey however brings that says that this that to Mashkim is talking about Friday. You're baking for Shabas. Bake ready for the whole week and be mashkim for the honey. So it is talking about the baking of Arab Shabas and bake ready and prepare it for the prepare it for the honey. One last takon. I'm going to skip now to the last one. This one was number six. So these seven, eight and nine and sham. The last ton Ezra the Ezra was before Ezra a person's learner was we gave a whole she over here I spoke about it and we learn a whole she'll say very briefly was for whatever the reason different reasons different reasons but as I say for the fact is was not learnings learn and without Ezra brings interesting from the 10 this Raamish says first of all just never never took off today we have mikvah with filters and it's warm in the old days to go to mikvah was cold it was frozen it was dirty it was very hard so The lick even though they're carry brings that yes were very fat that the Rambam the Rambam is so this whole is very important. Why does the Ramba make as that it's why was he so easy about it over here? [clears throat] This is the answer that this is local brings it. He said the lawyer they quote what the Ram said the Rambam never ever missed going to the mikvah Ezra when being about carry so why does the raom why is he so mal theam in his is riding Ezra's bottle since it's bottle so if It's bottle it's bottle he has to write what's but a vad needs a lot of room to be you know to be on this and with this I'm going to conclude first of all the ra himself in brings and other places that lisa there are many many that are nizer there's a lot written about it has nothing to do with being to be miser even though this last it was bottle but has a lot a lot of room and I'm going to conclude that the somebody that's In other words, this last that says was even though it was bottl a person's not the in the importance the and the comes from it is still applicable. So to sum up the first part of the sh we spoke about why testavis is a yimus because it's the yard side of Ezra cyer and then we spoke a little bit about the takonus the 10 takonus that Ezra ser was msaken have a wonderful shabas
