Simchas Beis HaShoeva commemorating 100 years of saying Tehillim, Part 6. Rabbi Yossi Paltiel - 5787

I had him whose name was Rabbi Fuks. I forgot his name by the way. He taught me 51 years ago. Our first year was then we learned we learned we learned I think it's all we learned [laughter] that was enough but we learned the whole until the end of the pic we didn't go to but I remember what he taught us he was he must have been a good M he's a big l a very very big bick He was disgusting how his humility. I remember him sitting in class and he put his finger on the gum and he turned pages. So I asked him what he was doing. So I'm doing the finger trick. He would put his finger on the place and tell you what word was under his finger and do you understand? He knew the rashi by heart in the kind of way you CAN TELL YOU WHAT WORD is under his finger on which he taught me in America. What can I tell you? But he was he was a very special Jew, very humble man. and I was his talmet. But I'm telling 20 years after I was in his class, 30 years after I was in his class, I don't remember how long he passed away. But whenever I would see him, he would stop and tell me a story. I'm assuming he did all in other words, I don't think I was special. I think every boy who learned, he would see you and tell you that. And I I glad that tonight I had to I I prepared this and I actually prepared which I don't normally do but I was looking through my notes and I found pages of that I wrote that from him that over the years he told me stuff. So one of the stories he told me was that there was a majid maj. They sing a lot. They sing a lot. What's the family name? What's the family name? Majh. So there's mentioned the with the operation that they couldn't use anesthetic and they cut him open when mentioned he didn't say by name but he mentioned and then the smiled and he said he cracked up the was an was unforgettable. >> It was an hour 60 minutes, which is a very long time. It was so interesting. You could literally hear people listening. It was so interesting. It was like the secrets of the youth. You didn't There was no guessing. It was so clear. I remember I remember you could push and hear people listen. He mentioned this and then he said with a smile and the way the room cracked up it was unbelievable. Anyway, so they were big lumped him the used to laugh at this. So there was a who said to them they make a tish and they sing song and tell stories about why you wasting your time with singing story. So he said, says chose is called is called the this the song of the was a king a king but he he didn't live like a king he lived like a like a slave like the reb lived A WHOLE DAY PAST childus he SAYS a whole day at night he wouldn't sleep. He wouldn't let himself sleep 60 breaths because he didn't want to become that. Then he had above his bed a and that would blow at midnight. He would get up and from midnight TILL THE MORNING HE WOULD SAY he sang songs. He sang this is the what's called the said it's we knew the power of if we knew the power of saying every free minute of spoke about that when a person says it's accepted by the like as if he's learning the the most difficult. If you're not sure what's going, it's called and kingdom. [laughter] It's as if he's learning the deepest, THE DEEPEST LUMBNESS. THERE'S A whole of where he puts stories of before cuz put stories on before this gave us like a was a he was a big was a god. He was and every night from midnight till morning he wasted his time singing playing music and singing praise. So says if we would know the power of okay the rain is getting heavy. I want to just finish with a story. I I I really have a lot of things that I need to say, but this story is not this story that it's a it's a famous famous everybody knows the story. They made plays out of it and camp and so on every day would take a stroke. He would leave Labavich with his goal and he would go out into the fields and never describe a he would go into the forest and he would sit down on the ground and from all around him the insects the bugs would creep all over his body like by like A COMMAND. WHOLE BODY WAS COVERED IN BUGS. He would sit like this for half an hour or whatever it was and all OF A SUDDEN LIKE ON A QUEUE THEY'D ALL CRAWL off [laughter] and go back. It's a pretty cool trick. He would sit down on the floor and shim. He would ask the diseases to come. You know, sit down on the floor. All the bugs would climb all over him for whatever time he would sit and cry. When he finished crying, the bugs would crawl off him. He go back to one day instead of going to the forest into the ballet. Let's go to a certain is to a to a village. They came to the village and they went up to a house and the Reba Marash walked into the house with two little boys and the Reb Manash asked them what their names were told names and the said would you like to say with me a little was they may have not knew he was but was a really cool dude I mean he was such a wasn't a slogan So they said, "Yeah." So he sat down with the two kids. Anyway, so anyway, the asked the kids, "You want to say?" He said, "YEAH." >> SO THE SAT WITH THESE TWO KIDS, IF YOU WANT TO EAT, take it off. And he said to Then he got up and he left. HE GOT BACK INTO the wagon. He drove away. They went a distance. AND SUDDENLY SAYS, "Let's go back to the back again to the to this village." He went back to the same house. He walked into the house. He saw the same two children and said, "Maybe you want to say a little more to him." Said, "Why not?" The mother was sitting in the other room and she overheard that saying, "Till the kind was so sweet it could melt stone." Anyway, and then I left her husband had gone to a village to collect a debt from a and he was supposed to come back at a certain hour and he didn't come back and it got dark and his wife went into a panic and they got later and they got later and they got later. in middle of the night he shows up to his clothing are torn his body is full of scratches from thorns and he's he's very very very upset and come let the he staggers into the house his wife says what happened I went to the dor to collect the debt and he had done business with this guy many times and the guy was shik was drunk And when he saw me and he told him that I want to collect my debt, the guy said, "I'm going to pay your debt. I'm going to kill you." And what do you mean? We've been doing business for years. YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME. I'M NOT paying your debt. I'm going to kill you. So I went and I hid in the barn. The guy went and he got an axe and he came to kill me and he was so close to me. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. come out and get my cat and he left. So I ran out of the barn and I ran into the field and all of a sudden the turned around to come after me again and I hid in the grasses and again the came so close to me I could smell his breath and he turned around and he went away and the that both times that the was about to find this walked into the house and he sat a couple with this man's children a nice I want to tell you something. I I didn't I I I I don't always prepare for I mean I'm not going to say that everything I prepared I said I really didn't like I I I have a note that I I looked for it before I came here passed away this past year alterc 70 hang out you remember he was a very he was a very smart guy very emotional person every time I spoke to him I heard the same tis each time but I wrote some of his veta down three things but they wrote down a bes told me you know story he was a talib university why you they learn by and they knew that has respect for then it was called was called so whenever became a carlo the boys from university >> came to >> came to 770 as curious onlookers. They wanted to see various how many boys? Six boys, eight boys. They came to Brooklyn was packed. They came they probably came early places and they were there by that first mess said I came with a bunch of my friends and I never left. That's how he came to the Reb. He was here by the first and that he was hooked. He was still the talent of of he got in university. He was like academic but he was the >> guys don't understand. It was just to show up upstairs. >> Yeah. has a tiny lean cuz anyway told me that you're listening and the rabbi told I want to read you the quote there a quote is every morning we say it's dinging But it's it's a quote is but so now the and the can sit and be in this quote and the first part I think is not hard to understand you When you ding, you're supposed to think. You know, it's it's it's you're allowed to think when you ding. It's permitted to think. It's okay. You think you're ding is not going to be less real if you're actually paying attention to the huh you're supposed to pay attention. BUT you're not supposed to study. You can do that when you have a class in you're talking to him. And one of the hardest things to do, you should know when you're a little boy, like you're a little boy, you're a big boy, but you're little. So you have such a hard time with you don't know, you don't know Hebrew, you know. See, you want everybody to see it's not entire class. I'm >> I'm holding I'm holding I'm holding I have hundreds of classes, maybe thousands. I'm holding. But anyway, so it's hard for you. You don't know Hebrew. I'm a lot older than you. When I was your age, I don't say that either. SO IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO THINK THE meaning of the words. And then I'm supposed to d I'm supposed to have a emotional somehow. DING IS NOT BRAIN. DING IS HEART. YEAH. Is they have to for you have to know the lus. Most people don't know. Who learns? Who learns? Who learns these? But carbon is ding. BUT THIS PARADING IS VERY VERY very scholarly and inis it's the difference between is that it doesn't look that is isim and isim you understand is stones that made is bricks that we make and in a means is inh And we speak our own language. You speak your own words. So it's like bricks, man-made bricks as opposed to divine made bricks. It's so carbon you're saying the words. So in when you're saying the point of carbonus is to bring the light of the and the light of the carbonus into your even though but we're not bringing a carbon we're doing what's called is full of tim is but the whole of is every time you say Say it you're speaking David wrote the book and the emissal did not write the David was the compiler he wrote a lot of it there's 10 till has 10 authors beginning with andu and our best friends who are our best friends who are best friends three out of And then he has a he says I want to understand I want to study. [clears throat] So says to him why do you want to study kak? He says I want to know how Russia can have children. Is that painful? He say I know but I want my children I want to study. I want to know how from kak comes bak I want to know it says b kada came from kak not because of kak but because of bak in other words they called bak I don't know why but it's not it's bak [clears throat] b he says to him I want you to teach me how could produce so there's and there's these are real people and there's and of course In in in the telling of Hud Schllayman Schlmer was 12 years old when David passed away you have capital is capital iron base and then capital is what capital is yeah so they look at David wrote as a 12-year-old there's no problem. But anyway, so the it's and every time you say you're ding it's a I I don't have the yet. I'm just sharing the it's good to know this is the own words. So this is a takeaway from this is 100 years since the announced that we should say till is a part of but the and the had not been introduced just the you understand the and the were added whenever made but 100 years. So it's an opportunity for us to be careful more about and about learning and I I want to add this that we spoke about the whole idea of being a whole idea that all of us have to come to like not like fancy people who are experts who got it all figured out and we're big scholars. We're talking big scholars. We're talking big scholars. Yeah. >> How are you a scholar? You go on Google, you know, [laughter] you know, you go on Google. It's Google's an idiot. He just has a very, very good memory, you know. Anyway, but we're not idiots. >> He's a good searcher. >> He's a good search. Good search. But we have to be hidden. And one of the issues who was greater than came to he didn't come to the and say hashem I have discourse. I have this course. I have this course. I did this for you. I did this for you. I did this for you. If you're going to come to the you say give me do you remember Sydney remember Sydney Sydney is my uncle my cousins you and him Sydney Sydney was a the machine there but he was a very very good candidate this he was even a better candidate than Charlie and Charlie will also fight Sydney Sydney Brookus you know that in Sydney Brookus from I was sitting at a sham sham the guy says that Sydney used to go to Sham and they did to people there was one guy who avoided Sydney why cuz he gave him a bra he had four and one girl. But Sydney always gave a bucka for a bazaka. So he avoided him. So Sydney bumps him back. I don't see any showers. He says cuz I don't want another boy. I want a girl. So just tell me give me a girl. Gave him a brother for a girl. He had a girl. [laughter] Cindy gave rus. Sydney was a gave rus. He wasn't into Msiah. He had a problem at Msiah. So Sydney Sydney Sydney was a to me you have to say speak to the speaker don't come like the I'm not I'm a simple person. Give me give me what I need. one of the last speech that I prepared on my page. It's not raining pause me and my side of the table is still raining. You live in situation. I don't live. Okay, we'll see. This is pause, right? Pause. P is pause. Pause is gold. Pause is gold in the test. No. >> Yeah. Pause of but they say we is gold and pause is more precious than gold. In this is called ging gold. I don't know what ging gold is. It's a better gold than gold. Platinum gold. push this out. >> Whatever you say, you're a maven. I know I'm a maven in my own lack of ravenous. That's the only I have. But gold is gold is right. So I I I have this is my dead. This year starts with chabas and somebody told me the next year also starts with chabas. Somebody told me next year it's next. Someone told me I believe him. Why? It's good for my dash. So I believe him. If it's wrong we'll have to erase it from the table. But shabas is gur. The difference between Shabas and Yam is the difference between and is you let it all hang out but you let it all hang out in the kind of way that it's the is overflowing but it's not with the lack of there's no The the greatest is the fully the whole world. So I think there's a consistency between pause which is gold which is and shabas and Let's not kill ourselves. I sat with a young light today in my house. I don't know. I I live in the world of Mashia's coming. They live in a different world. It's the same planet, but they different they have a different orbit. But they Jew sitting on a train reading. How could you read it? He says, "The Jews are doing so well. >> [laughter] >> the Jewish magazines are saying some terrible things that yeah the last three years the it's it's a cuz so many of our brothers and sisters fell we lost so many but we're seeing the the just spinning you watch we are watching Messiah come with our eyes be past us If you need my glasses, here they are. Maybe I work for you. Put on my glasses. You see, look. It's not it's not it's not that there should be no aspects of it that we could say we don't understand. It should all be but the told us we should open up our eyes. Remember said 35 years ago we should open up our eyes. You have to open up your eyes and wherever you look you see the love for the Jewish people in an unprecedented way. Is going to show up. Here's the good news and the bad news. You ready? Msiah going to come. He's going to put us to work and we're going to feel like such You have no idea. And there only is going to say you think Mashiah's going to come. It's going to be rest is going to be but it'll be such and such. What's the trademark of Msiah? What is the trademark of Msiah? One word. is not a new thing. Why is called MASHIA is called mashia? every what's the trademark of Msiah? One thing, one word. What did you say? >> That's all the difference between Msiah and he finishes right. Every has the same mission in this world. So the make that's so I have a simple proposal that in a small way by each person is our each one of us in our was sitting on my today and the rain was kicking us out of the so one guy said to me said I have five things to do I can't have and all things I didn't want to tell the guy to stop doing what he's doing. The trademark of Mashia is on his own. The should bless us all. We should all be little Mashia. Each one in our we should see Show my I know there is Only news [singing] Hey [singing] child la. Heat.
