CHAZAQ's Torah Talks #12: Rabbi Jonathan Rietti - The One Minute Masmid

and welcome to yet another amazing program khazakh's tuesday's timely torah talks we have a very dear friend a special guest with us robbie jonathan riyadi sleep the rabbi how you doing thank god very well how are you amazing really excited about today's tonight's program uh this uh this topic that we're gonna be discussing tonight is very close to and dear to my heart on a personal level the topic is we're gonna be discussing the rabbi's book the one minute mosfet as you see i have my notes and i it's been used very inspiring this is my newer volume that uh that because there was so much going on over here i needed to get a clear copy but i always encourage you know students friends neighbors to to get this set for this book because it was so uh touching on my end that we're going to be discussing the one minute mass minute so i'm really excited are we ready you ready i'm ready thank you okay so let's start off with the with with the fact that i know that robbie ready is some way somehow related to the benishikai however him from baghdad right what aspects did the benice kai impact the book directly or indirectly robbie really right so first of all just so to even out the playing field i'm also a direct descendant of avraham avinu oh really yeah uh on sarah side not hagar i think i am also so many somehow related oh good so related as well you're right so we're we're on the even field now so uh your question is how did banish high um impact my writing of the woman in mass made yeah so uh you know what this it's a really good question i actually have never thought about it until you asked me um but it it uh it hits me right now as you're as you're asking that the banished high anyone anyone who studies venice high will know that it makes no difference which safer he learns what becomes immediately revealed is how the entire spectrum of the torah whether it's whether it's whether it's whether it's or whether it's um he weaves it all together so in that sense i think he's a he's a perfect role model of what it is supposed to look like if a person takes god seriously and says rebel shalom you gave me your torah you wrote me a letter i want to read it from beginning to end and if there's if there's other letters that you've written to me i want to know them all so the banish khai uh it's so obvious that he had the full spectrum of of kolatorakula at his fingertips and um he didn't write a single safer that was only in isolation of every other subject so anyone who learns let's say ben yahyada on shas they'll realize straight away that there's this incredible mixture of of kabbalah even riddles and mashalem metaphors so i think in that way um it must have had a deeper deep impact on me that this is something i think every bentura is really meant to aspire to amazing amazing okay rabbit could you maybe uh describe the impact and the importance of the amazing book the safer the one minute mosfet can you tell us a little bit about it so um i wrote it in the early 90s um out of frustration that i had been in in yeshiva i started yeshiva late i started i became religious at 11 but i didn't go to yeshua till i was 17. oh wow um i thank god uh i wanna i want to be uh show my gratitude to both the irreversible and my parents who supported me in learning for 12 years but the first seven years i realized um i was fooling myself i was really really lying to myself because i just couldn't understand why um the learning was simply not making any sense and then i realized i was i was lying to myself because i actually believed that if i did what i was told i would become a talmud so um at that point in my yeshiva career i made a calculation i was learning in gateshead um that if i if i followed the yeshiva massachusetts i would um learn eight massage eight tractates of the talmud in eight years um but i would i wouldn't know all eight i wouldn't know the first peric and the third peric or the sixth peric and the fourth peric um and then i wouldn't know it that well because i didn't wouldn't have done any uh no review so then i would not have mastery of it but if i wanted to finish the rest of shas um i would i would need at that rate i would need to come back approximately two and a half gil gulim uh two and a half times so i said i said to myself one second this makes no sense so the argument that was thrown back at me is that you're not really here to learn collateral you're you're here to learn how to learn so i accepted that but um it still didn't make sense to me because and haslam i don't want this to be taken in a negative way but when my parents after me being in yeshiva for 10 years um asked me to take samiha and um and the ishiba would would not uh refuse to help me and that's not a negative on them but simply they explained that it's a talented college it's not a rabbinical college so it's its goal is not necessarily to churn out rabbis it's more uh focused on helping the nato know how to learn so uh they thought they're not going to stop me learning here or there but i had to do it on my own so without hebrew thought um i started learning evidence and shockingly you know especially when i came to a revolt and pasta and some of these smaller simoni i said one second one second everyone has to know this i'm married already and i don't know these these uh i need to know i need to know this myself why why should there be any problem so um it was it was that kind of situation where i realized if i'm not going to take responsibility for my own learning um i i will become an um a an ignoramus that is not totally ignorant but but never even once in my lifetime finished tanakh probably never finished missionary once um probably never finished all of mishnai's once for sure not shasbabli okay maybe if i go to duffy on me uh you xiaomi wasn't even on the radar in those days um and certainly not to schefter suffragette three magilta um and then for sure not sifrey uh honey star etc so um that's when i realized if i if i want to aspire to cover ground i've got to take responsibility for that and not expect that that's what yeshiva is even claiming it's going to do for me so that was that was part of the background i'm sorry frustration is what god is frustration huge huge frustration because i i arrived learning at 17 with a tremendous amount of motivation and um it was only a matter of weeks months and then years of realizing that um there's so much cross-referencing on a single page of gemara and and starting to realize on my own none of this is just not making sense to me why am i learning first peric in the third paragraph with no hazara and with no aspiration to to to learn the entire sector and then then what started making no sense to me is that the gemara is is not an isolated text it's a pay rush to the mishnah and then i said to myself well then why aren't i learning all the mishnayot because the gemara on a single page will cross-reference many many mishnayot and many bright art and if i'm not going to learn them why would i learn it only in the secondary source without having learned to in this in the primary source and i also realized um a bayern rava and not a single amura would allow me to sit in his shoe for the simple reason that he's cross referencing all of tanakh all mishnayot all all of the bright art all the to scepter every single um and sifri and sifra so i would i would not have a chance even sitting in this shira because they will be you haven't learned what we're cross-referencing so then i started working backwards and then then it really and then i started to get really frustrated the first bravo tinura now i i think it's fair to say that the rav barton is reasonably qualified to say what mishnayot is all about is that do you think that's a rationally acceptable statement to me so the first uh uh rav bartanura in piracy albert park all of mission aleph um in describing the difference between piriki about and all the other he points out that all the other masertots are a parish to the mitzvot whereas peroki albert is all over the place ethics etc so i said to myself one second now it's starting to make sense the chumash is a storyline contained in the story line from bria alam till musha bingo passes away and you shall enter there to israel and start safer yeshua in that storyline i plotted 613 mitzvot all of all the details of the of the the mitzvah were taught baal pair till the writing of the mishnah but the purpose of the mishnah was not to give you all the details but at least give you the headlines of the details of what later became the gemaran so the gimras saw that we we couldn't get everything from the mishnah so they had to write that down because we were forgetting what the mishnah was it was as a as a um a synopsis a summary of the tariq so uh it was about this time that um you know there's a uh hazal tell us a very famous the direction a person really really deeply wants to go in then they will accompany him so famously the marasha says who is they because the past the the the the the ghazal doesn't say in plural it says in the lash it says that's in in uh singular adam that's still singular right says singular layla singular molly all that's in singular then suddenly it switches malikhin they accompany him so the murashas who's they so it says every thought we think every word we say every action we take creates a mala and those malachim push us in the direction we want to go in either or or not so it was in that period that i hired a balabat in gateshead to to learn with me to teach me and um his name was mr book allah he was not a rabbi he was a balabayet he had a credit card business and he was very embarrassed to admit that he had finished just the ian nine times because he knew that he should have finished it many more times so he told me times nine times nine times wow this is before uh daffy omer was all over the place and there there was one small duffy mushier in in gateshead and uh you know without getting into any uh uh it just happened to be at that particular time bahrain were extremely discouraged to to learn darfumi um and and for good reasons the youtuber wanted them to focus only on eon so mr book was my personal rebbe for two and a half years he told me he taught me that of elashan how does he know that they're calling their afterlife and i made i mentioned him in one minute i called him mr safer his real name was mr book um his rebbe was with gedalia rabinowitz who was the russian rush colonel in sunderland and taught my rebbe mr book for 17 years uh rabbi gidalia binowitz was a talmud in velojin and he learned that blew my mind in in village and this is what my rebbe told me um his his rebbe told him the invaluation the the atlantem the lazy bakurim 30 to 40 times wow uh the mitsuyanim the the more i don't know motivated um students would finish it 101 times in velocity they learned they started learning berakot and they finished with nida this was pre da yummy um he told me that they they would never um speculate what the gemara means first they would check rashii always learn rashi right on the gemara secondly tommy whenever they came to a pasuk they never they never just carried on reading they stopped learning the gemara opened the pasuk wherever it was international and learned the whole perak the entire chapter of that passage so they learned it in context so i'm not going to go into detail because i actually cover a bit of this in in in the moment it must but um essentially what brought me to write the book was frustration on a very high level and a sense that if i if i pretend that i just go with the flow and i'm going to become through learning in in the yeshiva um i'm fooling myself because that's not what they're promising you they're promising they'll teach you how to learn and and be able to learn but that doesn't equal a very deep desire to learn the entire letter that god wrote specifically for every jew which has unlimited levels um of of of um of lessons to be learned from and i would never have even finished tanakh let alone mishna or mishnayas or if i if i'd stayed with the way i was being taught so mr book really um he was the one who set me on on the path um and he also taught me uh that in velocity they did not learn this only if it was on pashup shot and they would only learn all the other tasteless after they had they'd finished the massacre many times was made he was the main talmud of of of of the promised land um and he was made on himself the massachusetts that he learned the maharashtri tasteless he did not know nearly as well as the masseters that he only learned kumar rashi and only toys was that was absolutely nageya took shot irrelevant to the simple meaning of the gimmera and only after he finished the sector many times or at least that parrot many times then when he would learn all the other tasteless then it was much easier so it's so interesting that um things started to come together as i as mr book introduced me to other mecca lots and lots of uh sources uh it blew my mind sadiq um in in the one but last chapter on and this is 700 years ago he's screaming and crying why do we not learn like our rebellion taught us which is sequential learning start at the beginning of shas go to the end and review start at the beginning of tanakh go to the end and review and he he would he would say that the the love for torah that comes from covering ground and doing it again and again and again is so great that that's why the roshanim were who they were not because of of any specific segula it was simply because of this simple formula learn crusader learn sequentially in sequence and from beginning to end and review end the story wow rabbi i gotta tell that is so inspiring that leads me to my next question one might feel there's so much torah content to learn that they fall into despair they give up yeah they don't even attempt to learn sometimes how can we not get overwhelmed how could one not be uh so i would tell you first of all and partially in answer that question is there's a separate called um my son actually put has put it on my website um breakthrough keynote.com so you can get it that uh um but it's written by a rabbi schumann first uh it's an extremely short very very small booklet it's got about i know 12 yeah 14 pages um most of the pages are taken up by huskamut the huskamati has uh probably i don't know if there's a safer in in recent history that has his husqvart i i i'll tell you he he has he talks about derek limoud and he talks about covering ground learn gumera and do review and and who are his who gave him husker mott to his staffer my probation ramosa feinstein uh elias shah rubio title baum the sutma rebbe uh ruby stroll alter the rebbe from gore the guerra rebbie rubiak of kaminetsky that's the stipe lagoon the father of of of rakhine kam uh um ramosa feinstein i mentioned um there's some others here as well uh remotion represents from levitz and this is the most incredible and they're not just saying a few words they're screaming out and this is i could not possibly say this but it says it in here they're screaming at those who are guiding the bahrain and saying why are we shortchanging these beautiful young men who are willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of their hours in their formative years of learning why are we shortchanging them by not letting them have the deep deep deep satisfaction that comes from mastery of learning and that means covering ground with review and knowing you really have a kinion so um in answer to your question how does a person not get overwhelmed i would say it's the same answer to a different question which is how do you eat an elephant and i i know when i i give this metaphor some people say rabbi an elephant's not kosher i said i'm not talking about eating elephant i'm saying how would you eat an elephant and the answer is one bite at a time how does a thousand mile journey begin one step at a time so um this is something that is brought in hazal it's in bait keraba i don't remember i think it's imperative and it's also bought in uh um other nasa parakopsin i think it's um ice gimmel so uh they bring the following and this this this analogy is shared in lots of different ways but essentially it's the same idea and that is um the tip uh this is not my language this is khazal's language there's a tippesh and there's a hakam the tipes looks at the torah and he says [Music] it's so big mishnais forget it that's bubbly you shall meet us defrosted free mikilta tour bet yourself uh there's no way i'll never i'll never finish it and so he turns around and walks away and what does that say today i'll learn one line tomorrow another line today i'll learn two halaquah tomorrow another two elevators today i learned one page tomorrow on another page and the power of accumulation is such that the add up means a person will complete kolatorakula many times in his lifetime if he takes one bite at a time and and we we know it everyone who turns up to us has the same sense if these people they all they did they clocked in for one hour uh i don't know how many coffees they drank before during and after to keep themselves awake but uh it was it was they clocked in for one hour and they finished us in seven years now there's finishing and there's finishing so if someone really wants to take shots seriously they can learn that duff um if they have on their own and then go to the sheer and then do afterwards and create some sort of system where at the end of the seven years and you come to metlife stadium uh uh you can honestly say to yourself i i've made some attempt but the the real answer to your question is um the tipes and the the tipes is the full because it doesn't even start it's too big the ham realizes every line counts and i'm going to say something that i don't know if anyone has said this before but in the same way that gemara tells us i think it's in lam het in yuma where rabbi akiva is going to be a hilal is going to makay of all the anime because hilo was extremely poor and yet he he spent half of his money to be able just to enter the best madrid and listen to this um in the same way that nobody because of that camera can say i'm too poor to learn or i'm too handsome um and my yet sahara took had me uh spending my time doing average today we're living and please be welcome me whoever's listening to this go out on the street or hus uh please please remember me go in shawl or in the corridors of the school uh go in the corridors of any building in the elevator and count how many people are on their phones and that means to say that in the few seconds that they're getting out of their car into their car into the elevator out of the elevator the few extra seconds makes a difference because i can do another text read another whatsapp i'll respond to another uh twit or twitter whatever it is probably a twit whoever invented twitter was a twit that's for sure okay so but the point is we're living in a generation that nobody is able to use the excuse i didn't have time because if that's true how did i be makship how did i value the few seconds hundreds and hundreds of pockets of seconds but between the most mundane activities and even during i still found time to look at that crazy phone sorry the smartphone so uh i would i would have to say in answer to your question this is mahaya bus i don't mean in a minute way i mean it in an inspiring way look if i can find the time to do this i'm walking in the streets like this what would be the difference if instead of of having my whatsapp and twitter and facebook and who knows what else is on on the screen go to mishnayus or uh and read one passage at a time and again another one and oh you're getting out into the elevator and not another apostle what would what would be the crime at least one can say in shamayim i tried amazing wow i i really feel that the inspiration one bit at a time one line at a time one page at a time as one that does not feel me i could attest you really really feel you know one day at a time one page just moves on moves on then you do assume a second and you go on to the next it's very inspiring and uplifting and we encourage everyone to definitely do it uh rabbi leading to our next question in the book you map out a system of learning can you please describe the assistant robbie ready um so it's essentially the system is is is really deceptively simple all it is is start from the beginning go to the end and start again um uh someone once point out to me it was actually a godly swell i don't he never gave me permission to say this because uh it might it might sound like a put down to to those who don't who who are not much of covering ground so he pointed out something to me which he believes was and this is someone by the way who finished just bubbly 32 times wow though it's not a and finished all of miss nice over 600 times and i i don't know how many people are listening to this we can figure out who that is but um he told me a horrific insight really scary insight so why why are we so bogged down on a page of gemma and on top of that is one richaun and then another and then another another one and we're spending hours and hours and hours doing that so he's he said put put aside the importance of learning how to learn and learning how to number ion put it put that aside for a few moments if a person knows psychologically he's never going to see this massacre ever again because he's going so slowly it's just never going to happen so that means you've got to learn everything on the duff now and that means every rashi every toast verse and and and today the popularity contest is which yeshiva goes more slow so it's it's like mind-boggling because i know i don't mean this is a kick drug um uh uh it's man that when she comes i am once i'm 100 certain he's going to put us back on track that we're going to be learning sequentially beginning to end with review because i'll said it uh in in in ireland a very famous game around noon gimmel going the importance of review uh and um they themselves admitted yadu rabbanan baha'i mil sir our knew that this was the secret to success not really a secret but they knew this and what's the this the the right hazard you do is what's going to make a kenyan you're going to remember it hashem will give the shema so he said uh yadu rabban and baha'i milsa the avro they knew about this and still didn't do it because the urge and the uh the temptation to to learn deeply is so strong because that makes me feel much more unique if i can come up with some sort of a hidden question and a terrorist then i'm i'm different i'm special and i stand out but if i do i don't see that how i'm going to stand out but the the uh innocent mistake in this assumption is that every tana and every amura and every michonne never got to who they became by learning only slowly they learned from beginning to end and with review it was a minimum of 30 times often 40 times and ain't no doubting this this is the materials so i say two words trust kazal that you you just answered my question i was gonna ask one might just want to go forward in their learning without review what are the benefits of reviewing our learning and you just answer that i guess uh so yeah that is true it's uh there are many zohas and uh kiswiari also brings this and you'll find it in hulk's talmud of um um that that that when a jew learns torah even though you're it's really um that's the biggest proof the person is learning for the sake of how do i serve hashem because he wants to know the halaqa however they point out nevertheless that when a person learns and doesn't understand um it's really for the neshama and when a person comes to garnidon he will only be taught what he learned at all in all its levels and therefore a person should make every effort to finish kolaturakula at least once in his lifetime amazing amazing amazing yeah rabbi in the book you you you discuss learning goals how can we create practical and motivating learning goals so um at the end of the of the book i decided to to write the first appendix will be a um list of every practical outcome that came from all the chapters in the book so uh that's where i go to uh uh go through different limudim [Music] where essentially i would say the following in answering a question how do you make goals first of all and this is this is actually really important first of all it's really essential for me to have a reality check on where am i holding where's my starting point in learning so for example um many times over the years people have asked me um look i'm learning many years in yeshiva and i'm learning three starring justin i've never learned khumash from beginning to end with every rashi i've never learned all this farm of naf i've never learned uh aura of of of the let alone so where do i start so um my answer would always be well uh what's your starting point when you learn uh uh humash if you were to learn a parashat a day it's about for for many benatar i would take them 15 20 minutes if you if you see that that you're losing focus i've got little uh things i suggest in the book that you can out you can highlight certain words that would be key words as a summary of what's going on in that perek or write it on the side in the margin um since i wrote that book in the 1990s so arsenal already came out with as uh a summary on the side uh which uh also is really actually comes from uh the tanakh of simani uh tanakh which has been uh now now is distributed by feldham i strongly suggest those firing because they'll give you a secret on the side read that sikkim read that summary before you hit the parekh and then read the peric if a person's learning uh uh can learn to understand most of the hebrew words in homash he should learn if he can because if he has the time learn a parashat a day and finish all of humash every every 60 or so days it's not it's not an impossible feat and it's surprising um how much he'll cover if he's got more time he should learn that week's parashat every day so that every time he comes to shabbat he will have already finished it seven times the when he learns or he listens to the laning on shabbat it will be a totally different listening he will also notice that because of the recency it's a law of recency that when one does hazara soon after once learned that information and then does analogous or another kazar he will suddenly notice questions coming up that he was not noticing before and he'll start to have to roots him that come to mind and also start cross-referencing because he already learned in his say that in that day a certain peric that he came across either the same word or a similar indian and suddenly he's able to make that connection and he starts writing notes in his homage in his that are cross-referencing and he starts to get a simple nephesh as he realizes that the more ground he's able to cover the more the torah starts opening his mind uh and i i will say on this um that uh it's also important a person uh is is is a tentative to their starting point in korea if he's reading and fluently then he should he should throw himself into reading the words of the hamas um if he if there are difficult words that he that has not come across before so he should make some sort of mark with a pencil to look that word up in uh sometimes rashi will deal with it sometimes if you have the mitsu which has in it will um respond to most new words safa srashim of of the radak is also excellent for that but um that's one area and then dictux that very simple hebrew grammar is super essential for really breaking the code of homage enough because that's what what every every gemara that quotes a uh it's fully aware of the of the dicta of the pasuk and many times the mishnah and the gemara um realize that the dick took is deliberately written incorrectly to force you to ask a question so um the starting point for everyone is different but i would tell you um throw yourself in don't be afraid because as soon as you uh jump into the water you're already completely wet you may as well now and you'll get really used to the temperature just swim uh throw yourself into mishnayot you'll be pleasantly surprised if you read the same mishna four times just read it and and and discover how much the mishnah is starting to make to open up and then if i notice like hey look i just read it four times it took less than a minute less than a minute to read the average mishna four times uh it takes about a minute on average to do hazard of a whole peric of mishnayot so when a person starts measuring the amount of time and he realizes i'm going to come back here so if i don't know it all now i don't have to do eo now like i was quoting that godzilla earlier who said that psychologically we we think we may never come back here so we got to know as much as possible now and but with that mindset we never get to the end so i think those are some um ways to answer that question hundred percent very very inspiring right are we ready thank you you're the best if ever i have a bad day i just have to clock into this is gold and silver it is amazing that inside robbie there are many parts of the torah rabbi touched on this there's tannangles what should our approach be to master each part i think the the approach should be um scaffold scaffold it in at levels first first go for pashup shot so you if you're having um in humash let's say you've got a bala to shiva or or baka who never really paid attention in the first three grades um and now uh uh uh he's learning michelle for a year or two and then it's been gamer ever since so he's never really cracked homage so then i would tell him um i would tell everybody the same thing the slower you go the faster you'll get there but keep going i give him marshall of a snail and the rabbit there's a famous uh of his fables most of these fables actually comes from hamelech um that's that's actually hazal tell us that the redak pericvav if i'm not mistaken um so the dark brings that that most of the fairy tales and and uh metaphors that are going around the world as ancients of um uh uh esops fables and and uh fairy tales he says most of them came from malek and they got spread around the world until people were sharing them without saying where uh where their original makeup was from but uh uh i i digress um i would say read push up shut read the thing they must tell the parable of the snail and the rabbit yes what what did you say sorry you were saying the messiah the power the faster you'll get there so i would say make a goal let's say don't look at homage as a one-year goal look at it as a five to ten year goal meaning to say first year goal will be just push up shut and it might even be two or three years push up shut which means you just read the words again and again the whole parrot or whole parashat um and if it's too much to do a partial day then give your decide how many minutes you wanted to vote to do much let's say it's two minutes okay just read two minutes and see how many sukim you cover in there and then put a paper clip or nowadays you've got these um um bookmarks one second they're really helpful these um oh yeah you can even use these on shabbat they're fantastic i wish i had these years and years ago um so these markers inside sticky notes sticky yeah they're like sticky notes and they're color-coded i use yellow when i have a kasha and it's sharpest and i have a question i want to look up afterwards i'll stick this and the pointed part of it um can go right on the letter or the or the word that you're sticking it on so i know after shabbat i'll i'll i'll try i'll more easily remember the question i had and then i can research it uh so you can we bother you about the other colors uh all right so red red i'm using for a book that i'm i'm uh writing so whenever i come up with the macora i use red for that one and and our the the purple is when i know there's a cross reference that reminds me that somewhere else so i'll take two of these and i'll put them in both places so after shabbat when i open up it's more likely that i'll remember what was the correlation uh between those two um so but uh the the main point you come up with your own color coding the main the main point is make a five to ten year goal to conquer kumash and a five ten year goal to conquer enough and the same with mishnayot and german don't don't uh the the yetzahara wants me to go fast and then collapse uh go uh uh uh he won he he's happy for me to taste the beauty of covering ground but he wants me to burn myself out so the slower person goes the faster he'll get there um ravnatson of nemourov was a talmud mughaq over nathaniel bressler um wrestle was huge on derek limut he uh in secret run um uh seeker number 76 is a a very very powerful uh description there of covering ground uh sequentially and and doing review um so uh rav nassen of nemerov he writes that he had 13 sadarim and shulkinak ravnafina bresliv was very muppet you have to follow shulkin arc and he was very open he says he says people who don't who dovern after this man are mistaken he said that of all the other facilities he says you've got to keep shook don't there's no games playing not sleeping in a sucker because it's too holy you can't you can't don't negotiate with something so his his talmud had 13 sadarim in shulkin ark why 13 on on sunday tuesday wednesday friday when there's no tathanon so davening finished a drop earlier so his shulker narc state it was a little bit longer on days of tachem it was shorter um he had different state of a quantity uh when there was a bris miller that he had to attend then it switched to a different seder meaning to say he he figured out what khazal meant when it says that's actually a password from american two different places but uh rivnasan was really saying the following you gotta figure out strategies for many different situations that i know will pop up by surprise but there are certain situations you know gonna pop up and they're not such a big surprise and anticipate because if i can anticipate how i'm going to change my derek and linwood for for to accommodate my wife uh needs more help at home um we just had a baby it's going to change everything i can't keep the same or the same amount of time that i'm dedicating whatever sparring that you're learning so by accommodating and accepting that i'm going to have different style for different occasions different situations i'm taking away the amount of bullets the yate sahara has to fire at me because if i miss one day because uh davening was too long and then there was a bris and then i was asked to come to the bris um so the whole stadium got knocked out and then the next day i woke up with such a headache because i had a very bad late night late night i didn't and now for three days in a row let's say uh then you know i'll never catch up is too much and i gave up so so the it's hara is interested in in me being the the the rabbit that runs to the to the finish line uh and yet the yetzer top will tell me no be a hakam learn two lines today another tomorrow a page today another tomorrow and if you miss start again but don't don't give up because i missed and now it's too much for me to to catch up amazing robbie reddy i remember when reading the book there were so many similar parables in my shaleem and kizuka and inspiration and i think and i could go on and on with the with the stories about rabbi akiva that we all know and and and the rock and it's starting at the age of 40 and then there is also the the i have to mention this and and my question is basically how can one gain access to the safer and are there any other plans to come up with another volume on this topic but before we get to that there was one michelle i was hoping for you to say maybe it's going to be the closing remarks and i'm stealing it from you but the but the one with the with the with the uh with the people running up a tower whoever reached the thousandth floor first gets i think it was the king's daughter becoming the prince or something and everyone's giving up after a few dozen floors because it's so difficult and long story short at the 100th floor there's an elevator that takes you all the way to the top such an inspiring message that you know never give up you know call it all beginnings are difficult just continue and continue and then you're going to have visits how does one get access to this most amazing saver this unbelievable woman is my speed and is there plans with hashem to expand on it uh so thank you very much for uh the promotion um i would say uh i i never put in in the bookstores um many people have asked me to do that and i didn't um i uh it's right i only sold it out of my house for many many years and then when internet came along and with the encouragement of my son who uh runs my website um so my book the one-minute mastermind is on my website breakthrough enough dot com break through if you know it's all one word so you click on the publications and you'll see amongst them the one-minute mastermind um i didn't put it in the bookstores and if someone asked me to today i would i would ask an adam goddell but my my simple um reasoning uh was uh because i don't want to hurt anyone and this this book is really it's not intentionally controversial but it it is um provoking the mind to consider did hazal really intend that i should learn all homage better sheets by the end of second grade most of shemat may be all of shmup by the end of third um almost nothing of vayikra or bamidba udvarim a little bit of yeshua may be shaved him uh start mishnayas learn brachas you must sukkah all right maybe maybe another two rosh hashanah megillah we're going to start in bhavamisia the middle of shots no no no no not at the beginning no no we're going to start in um uh illuminius no not not at the beginning of the peric the second mishna you know i'm not trying to be uh um provocative in a negative way shalom i'm trying to to to to to help a lot of people out there who suffered like i did i suffered terribly and i had to figure out on my own if i if i want to be if i want to have a fighting chance to be what hazal say is the definition of autonomous which is uh kind of scary but um uh if i'm if i want a fighting chance then um i cannot follow what i'm being told to learn and if i do do that because i'm in a mascara where i have no choice then in my bain hasadarim don't open up the gemara of the yeshiva and put a a a a rush but or on top and start plowing deeper start your own sadarim crusader from beginning to end etc um and and have have have your own muslim that you you like to finish again and then again and again my favorite is messi sharim sadiq is my second but every you know different swans speak to different nusamut um so i'm not taking away house for sean you but but find this firing that that that mean a lot to you and speaks to you and and go with it um pill pull and eon for example i found very very very hard and i still do but what what amuses me is that because sometimes i'm i'm somewhat familiar with the sugiya that i'm i'm listening to a pill pool um i will um quote a gimmera from somewhere else that completely collapses the pill pool and so and i'm not doing that on purpose i just realized you know if when people are drilling deep down and have no clue what the big territory actually looks like um they are unable to appreciate that when you dig down you might be hitting cross routes that are crossing from other trees but if you first get a panoramic view so to speak from above so you know the whole entire territory you'll know which trees are planted where and therefore which roots you're going to come across and therefore the connections you're going to be able to make when you dig down because you know what the whole territory looks like is so much more real than please be more from if i say artificial because this is not my language replying brisker said this at the uh of his son velvel who married the the daughter of the bride rav and he said my velvel no shas rashi claw so the breaker rob said reply you're the other pill paul what type of a schmuck is that so he answered i can't say yes because my edition is not good enough um he said back by me someone who says a pill and he doesn't know all shashi cold guaranteed is a purple shall hevel so i would say choose a limit that you know speaks to your neshama uh it could be a gadata so learn in yakub i don't say don't learn gimra for sure gimei is the meat of kala tarakula it's the linchpin between tariyak mitzvah mishna and halakha so gemara is indispensable but let it be real let it be because the person has learned at least the masset of mishnais many times that that can make comments on or at least the peric that he's learning in the gemara he should learn that paragraph of mishnays as many times as he can because it's going to make a big difference to the to the the eon you can only drill down as far as you have provided a foundation and the foundation is is breadth amazing rabbi so inspiring any any plans of publishing another volume or or um so it's interesting i didn't look i wrote the book about i think 1994 and i never uh i never really read it through from beginning to end um and again until about 20 something years later and i was i i changed in so many ways and covered different areas um a little bit more experience of life i was wondering if i would agree with what i wrote and i was i was really shocked that i had nothing to change except the tape recorder now had to be um a digital uh uh a digital recorder and and so you know terminology like that uh because it was so outdated but and and i made a few uh uh uh maybe added a few harass but in terms of the actual basic messages um i was very pleasantly encouraged that uh nothing to my mind had really changed because for most most of the book is it's not me writing it's really me quoting good islam from the previous generation and and was russian and hazal um the the framework of the book is not even mine i actually got that from kenneth blanchard who wrote a book called the one minute manager and when i read it i said wow i love the format of this story where a um uh someone who's looking to find a really good manager to show him how to to be the best employee comes across his one minute manager and is in story form and gives him lots of um incremental strategies so i said oh great that's that's this the framework for the book that i've always wanted to write for all these years that i've been out of yeshiva and i don't want others to have to suffer what i went through um in realizing or waking up even married or even with children in a yesh that says i know i'll never be a time with hassam so there's no point in starting rabbi so inspiring unbelievable could you leave us with one final message something inspiring to closing your remarks um so i would i would say uh my son's book to the firm revolution in the sense that um um there are too many gaps that we're not aware of that when we arrive at gemara uh we are so immature and missing components that we can't fully appreciate what we're learning when we learn gimera so his book my son's book the firm revolution um really does help identify what those gaps are so that when you you learn the one-minute masmid um you'll know that there are certain components for example knowing 303 most frequently reappearing root words in hebrew will give you access to eighty-one percent of kumashbara which is thirteen thousand words out of sixteen thousand and that's a very good deal so to know information like that know all the prefix suffixes uh to learn what's uh rabbi winter's program these these are basic foundational skills so when a person learns enough he really will have an intelligent reading because he understands how words are broken up and and uh uh reconstructed between the prefix suffix and the cherish so um i would tell i would tell anyone listening to this don't be afraid to go back to basics and spend time there even in your 10-year plan to finish kola tarakula which is very doable um don't worry about spending at least three years in foundational skills because the stronger your foundation the easier it is for you to be able to to follow uh shus and and and sparing which are constantly cross-referencing what you've already covered so that's what that's what i would say in my life my last uh party words uh don't be afraid to start don't be afraid if if there's a pause because your my your wife had a baby mother-in-law in your house you've got to get go to work uh it's covered you've got half of your workers at home whatever interruptions you've got just bear in mind start again start again start again start a game no matter how many times i fall or how long i put on the pause button i didn't learn for days or weeks or so months or even years doesn't stop me starting again because every word counts and if you don't believe me look on the street and see how many people are making every second of texting and whatsapping and twittering and that should be a musa haskell to me well if every moment counts on the phone then every line of huma or makes a difference and in shamayim it's huge rabbi jonathan me eddie schlitz what an inspiring message what an amazing torah talk thank you very very much for everything you do for quality so
