Chulin 95

Today's and we are at the very last line on today's being learned as today's also being learned. So we're moving along in perk ganosha. The previous staff discussed related to a Jewish butcher who has meat that is a traa the animal turns out it's a tra. Do we have to be concerned that he might have sold it to an which is certainly within his right to do but point is maybe now I would not be able to buy meat from the non-Jews that sell meat out of concern that maybe they purchased the meat and it's a traa. The bottom line is that's the general backdrop of the end of yesterday's d that segus immediately into today's says the there was a butcher that told his friend had we gotten along. Rashi says these two people clearly did not get along. In fact, Rashi says they literally hated each other. So he tells him you know if we were buddies would I have not invited you to the party that I made last night and would you have not been able to get a piece of fat meat that I was serving to all my guests? In other words, I'm the kind of guy it's kadai to be friends with, he tells him, because had you and I been on good terms, you would have been partying together with the rest of us and it's a that you missed out either way. So the friend who heard this little taunt told him back, "You think I didn't eat from your meat? I ate from the best of the best." So the person told me, "What are you talking about?" Because I heard that bought some of your meat and he gave it to me. So I ended up eating from your very cut that you're very excited about. So this person went and he told his friend Trey, I have to tell you that I actually had prepared two such and the one that I gave was not even kosher. It was a tra. So not only did you not get the shri, but the meat that you ended up eating was a tra. So these are two people that don't like each other and they're trying to stuck each other in any way possible. So this first guy, let's call him Ruven, goes from telling him that you missed out on a good party to telling him, "Oh, by the way, your dinner last night was a tra." But after the dust and the smoke settled on this little duel, there was a hak shila that arose. And that is that it seems that this person ruin had claimed that he sold meat to an meat was a traa and this is out in the shook and he's giving it and he's selling it to people. The question is do we now need to be concerned that perhaps there's a lot of meat in this shook that's not kosher meat. Now the mitsus was that most of the butchers that lived in this uh zip code were kosher butchers and as a result based on the of you allowed to assume that if you're going to go into the shook probably the meat that you're going to be buying is going to be kosher meat and by the way even if you bought the meat from a non-Jew based on yesterday's you're allowed to assume that the meat that you're buying is going to be kosher because even though you're allowed to give a tra to a non-Jew but you're not going to give a tra to a non-Jew when you know there's a concern that he may resell it now to a Jew. But being that there's this one guy, this who's claiming that he violated what we would consider to be the norm, maybe all of a sudden now and maybe nobody should be allowed to buy meat in this shook alone from the non-Jews based on the concern that maybe this non-Jew is selling meat that's not kosher. And again, even though we're going to assume that if most of the butchers are Jewish butchers, so based on that, most of the meat should be kosher meat. But the minute there's a concern that maybe there's a Jewish butcher who sold trafe meat to this non-Jew, maybe all of a sudden there has to be some sort of kash. So this shah was brought to the great rebi and rebi he said it's interesting that he referred to him as a shaitan. I don't know if he referred to him as a shaita because of the fact that he claims that he sold non-cooser meat to a non-Jew or he referred to him as a shaita just based on the first part of the story the way he's uh going after his friend. But the bottom line is Rebi said because of this who acted improperly in that he sold to are we going to say that now all of a sudden nobody is allowed to buy meat from this shook there's no way in the world that that's going to be meaning even though I trust that that's what happened but at the same time that's not going to poss the entire shook says who said in the event you have a so is a shook where most of the people that sold food or we or whatever was there were non-Jews but to the extent that you have mulins you have all these that are non-Jews but the butchers that supply them the meat are Jewish if you go there and you want to buy meat it's going to be okay. So being that holds that you're allowed to buy meat from although the as long as the sobi holds that ordinarily you're let it go and even though again this is a very important point even though maybe when it comes to the sells it to the because it makes a lot of sense he would do that but again that's yesterday's d he wouldn't do that cuz he doesn't want to go ahead and be it's for that reason is that so it's for that reason in this case it's going to be mut as well there's a few on this that explain the so we don't always think of as explaining even though even though if you cut through the lus and maybe even more than are literally beingar in the same way she's being but the bottom line is that over here on the top of the says That's that even though Rebi said that he only meant that you don't have to be concerned that maybe this guy sold to another guy and maybe there was another year that sold to a guy. But as it relates to this, we'd have to be concerned and you would not at least for that day when you're concerned that the meat that this guy bought he's going to sell, right? There's an expiration date on meat. You don't have to be worried in a month from now but at least for that short period of time you would not be allowed to buy from this of him because of the that maybe he from this again Rebi believes that this is what happened but at the same time he says it's not enough to go ahead and disqualify and suddenly say you're not buy from this at all as it relates to and we're not concerned that maybe the went and he sold the tra this where there's I'm not telling you to eat this person's meat. Wait until you know for sure that behem is gone and then you'll be able to purchase from him as well. What rebi meant was that as it relates to all the other from them certainly you would be allowed to buy and this again is re says the it's a great story but there's actually another version of it rebi said when he heard the dispute and this little uh back and forth that took place with these two people his response was a little different he said this part is the same he referred to him as whose intention was merely just to trash talk, right? He's just here to his friend. We going to go ahead and we're going to say that the entire Makulin is going to be user. Now, what's the subtlety? The subtlety is it sounds like from Reb's language in the second version that Rebi doesn't really trust this person. What is he trying to do? He's trying to be in the first version trusted him. He believed that he tal in this version it doesn't even sound like he trusts him. He's just trying to win an argument and people uh sometimes say things that are not even true you think in order to win an argument. So therefore Rebi in the second version didn't even believe him. He said, "I think his whole was the obvious." It sounds like the only reason Reb is not concerned now about going and buying meat in this sh is because he doesn't trust the guy. But let's say he believed him would be aasha. So what was a ryan the first is a cash and the second in the event they have these shook with used to sell meat and they used to get it from butchers that were if you would find over there it would be what do you see what you see from there is at the end of the day you always go so why is rebi saying that the reason I'm not worried about buying from this shook is because I don't believe that the story even happened. I think he was just coming even if he would believe it at the end of the day. Okay. So don't buy from this one guy but at the same time to go ahead the entire it shouldn't be a problem and over here it's already different because being that over here it was a here you know for sure to the extent you would have trusted him and you would believe him that he sold a behemoth that was a tra of him. So now there's a in the entire shook. once rehook then rebi sees it differently. If there's no rees in the rebi says but rees are a big deal in the world of and even though it's one I don't care at the end of the day one guy sold one be to one that's enough of a that it's going to go now and it's going to undermine the entire in the shook and that's why rebi said it's only because I don't believe the guy that the is that it's okay to buy. But had he believed him, even though there's arrived, it would not have been okay. Another point that Ta speaks out as he goes through the is that according to Rebi in the second, if somebody wanted to buy even from that one guy, it would have been okay, right? We have two in terms of what Reb's reaction was. Again you have a person who we named Ruven who claims to have sold a to and Rebi is not impressed. Rebi says now we have two of what dot is in the first in the second version between the two according to the first it's only that is going to be but to buy from this as long as there's a concern that he's still selling this meat is not going to be Okay, according to the second listen, it's not only it's even THIS GUY, HE TOO, IF YOU WOULD want to buy from him, you'd be allowed to buy from him. And the reason is cuz in the first Rebi believes that this Ruvane sold the behemoth to he just feels that it has no impact on the rest of the in the second doesn't even believe him. He thinks he's just taunting him. He's saying it to win an argument, but really it never happened again. What's if you'd be allowed to buy from that one? Either way, this concludes the very brief first part of today's D part two. And part two of today's daf is a classic. And as we'll see, by the way, as we go through the daf, today's daf is an absolute classic. We could have said this on the onset and it's true from a perspective and it's also true from an perspective but the first ra said one of the most famous oneliners in the entire mess school and maybe even in chass as it relates to meat this is what's known as so what does it mean you have kosher meat everything was done 100% proper But it was there was a brief period of time says when nobody saw this meat right anyone see the meat from it that is enough says Rav in order for it to be awesome I think it's to go along with the theme that we laid out and that is learn another so this it's very short we'll see it inside the fourth on the says Israel even if you know most of the meat in this city is kosh and ordinarily but iron right now I'm concerned why what's this all about we're worried about the ravens we're concerned that a raven literally an animal might have came and swapped out the meat took this kosher meat and he flipped it with a non-cooser piece of meat. And where did he get the non-coosher meat from? Well, he's a raven, right? So, you can take it from anywhere. So, being that most of the meat anywhere is taken non-coosher, even though most of the meat right here is kosher, but if we're concerned that that's what happened, you have to be worried. And then says, it's obvious this is based on asar is going to explain. But the bottom line is is that the idea and salmon and lays out right away two very important things. Number one, we're going to think the unthinkable. This is like a real you're worried about the ravens. That's number one. Number two being that this whole thing is in the world of what we have to be for and all these different where we are really really legitimately concerned about this is no this doesn't even get anywhere into that world because of which we'll see later in today's maric of the next few over here. But either way, says the Gmorra said is going to be us. So this is the me of that we began the in the is the sh where the majority of the sellers were and they used to sell meat that was supplied to them from these from the Jewish butchers. If you want to buy meat from the it's going to be why because you go and there's no concern that the would have sold the to the because he doesn't want to be the the who's going to maybe end up buying it from him in the without really explaining what the is what's the is why is this better than if is a problem. So there was no yid that was watching the meat. It's literally in the gef of the so how could that be better than how could this not be the obvious terrorist what it mean that's watching it we trust so that's not and again said what was the again it's based on the it's because you're worried about the van okay so you're not worried about the van the is going to protect the meat that he wants to sell from the ravens just like So says the is not as a result it's not anotherish. So there were nine stores that sold kosher meat and then there was a 10th that was available that sold available and somebody went and he bought a piece of meat from one of the many doesn't know which one he bought it from. is that you have to be eat the meat. This is what's known as so let's say you didn't buy the piece of meat from the store but you rather found it sitting on the ground then you go and being that and that says for that reason it's going to be okay right this is the most famous example of the parishup in the entire but this is a BOMBSHELL THAT case of arrive. Why is it not? You clearly don't know where the meat came from because if you did, you wouldn't even mean you found a piece of meat literally on the side of the road. How's this notion and this is an incredible in such a famous case in you're right if somebody would be walking on the street and he would just see a piece of me that's not because even though from a perspective you could say call the parisha parish but there's a whole another issue and that is the is talking about where it was in the hand of And we don't know where got it from. Being that you didn't buy it from the store without the now of the parish and but being that you yourself didn't buy it from the store, it's not considered it falls under the umbrella of but at the same time it's also not because it's under the protection. It's under the it's not in a situation where it's simply lying. If it be simply lying on the ground, incredibly it would not be based on not but based on let's take a third stab at it and this is from a Mishna. So this was a city where there were y and there were that lived and then somebody was walking in the street and he found he found a piece of meat and he doesn't know is it kosher meat or is it not kosher meat. So the mission says as follows you go and if of the butchers are Jewish butchers that kosher meat you could assume it's kosher and if not not let's say it wasn't just a piece of meat meaning it wasn't raw but rather it was already cooked then it's not enough to say oh most of the butchers no because now you also have to know who eats the meat and if then even If it's going to be a problem and the reason it's going to be a problem is because being that it's cooked, so you have to figure out who cooked it. And if cooked it, it's going to be bishak you're going to have a whole another issue. And it's for that reason it's not going to be okay. But what's the gamarra's cash break the gar even if of the in this case are of what happened to this whole case should be dead on arrival the fact that it was means it was and if it's you can have all the in the world why don't you have you're going to tell me what do you If you're keeping I already know what the answer is going to be. It's talking about just like the case of we said oh because it was not we made this incredibly novel it's talking about what t wasn't lying on the ground but it was okay so here will say the same thing doesn't mean he found it on the ground even but it sounds like it means but maybe means in the hand of but the says it can't be you know why because if that's the case if it's cooked, it can't be that that's the way it's going to be. Cuz to the extent that is holding the piece of meat right now and it's cooked, you would have to assume for sure that he's the one that cooked it. Or if a Yid was the one that was holding it, you would assume that the Yid was the one that cooked it. So from the fact that we say that when it's cooked, you look at and you don't simply say, well, someone's watching it, someone's holding it. Who's that person? That wasn't the case. It wasn't. And this must be literally. And if that's the case, why is this not a problem? And for the The case over here was made the case was where it was tak but the visual is a little different than your classic uh usually when you learn and you find I don't know on the side of the road you know you're walking all of a sudden you trip on something and you look down wow lo and behold this case was a little bit different this case was where you saw somebody from the vatins this person was uh a little far away and you saw something fall from him and you couldn't couldn't make out who the person was and you couldn't even tell if he was a yid or not a yid. We won't get involved in how he was dressed, but you can't even tell if he was a yid or he was not a yid. And the bottom line is you got closer and closer and closer and then you picked it up and you saw it was a piece of meat. That's where it's going to be. But here's the point. was never because even though it was matzah it fell from somebody and it's for that reason this is something that is a question of matzah where we have to go right without having razor another in the event and this is also a mishna and this mishna is ink now the context of the mishna the first part of the mishna that rashi quotes is somebody found a piece of meat in the in the btish in light of all the kach So do we assume that it's probably it's in the it's in the but is it is it is it depending on how it was caught that's how it's going to play itself out we need the next part of the and that is not in it was found in the it was already outside so the is like this if it was chopped into aim so you found these big limbs a foot a shoulder He saysis, right? If that's the way this was all sorted out, then the is you assume it's if it was cut like really really nice like these carpacio type slices. Oh, so then already it's going to be mut. What's the is that if it was a nobody cuts a right? You don't sit down at a barbecue on a Sunday afternoon and all of a sudden here take a shoulder of an animal. You you chop up the meat nicely. You carve it right on some level. You're going to cut it up. So if you found aim on the ground probably was in a this was a and the doesn't sit down with a fork and a knife. He doesn't need the presentation as much as humans do. And as a result, oh makes sense. That's probably what's going on. And therefore, if you want to eat it, you're not going to be able to eat it. If however it was cut up to the whole thing is cut up really nicely. Oh so then you little olive oil smeared on top of it then it's because then it looks like but what's the cash again at the end of the day? Why is this not talking about you'll tell me what do you mean? We just answered this gasha four times already. And specifically the last maybe it's talking about where again it wasn't just it was where you saw from that it fell out of somebody's possession. But the Mar's question is if that's the case, why if it's a var? If you find a on the side of the road, you could assume it's Na. But if you see it fall out of somebody's pocket, why would you assume that it's Na? I would assume that he shed this animal. He has the He's going to bring it home and when he gets home, he's going to start uh carving it up. The fact that it fell from somebody, if it's aim, I don't think should mean it's an you must have really really found it on the side of the road. How could it be? What happened to the emp is the one that was of says the just so happens that Rav not shockingly Rav had a comment on this Mishna and if you know Rav's comment on the Mishna the what did Rav say on the Mishna he said but he added two What does it mean? He never said that it's not. So we know is it's also and the way Rab learned the Mishna is that when we compare and contrast and it's not regarding because even the is with regards to is meaning it's going to be in addition to being by the way said it's as But here's the point that being that already learned up in this that is going to be so there's no in fact not only is there no it's probably that holds and high is also that's why said and only the bottom line is the brought me said is what do We worried about the really and the fired away with a whole bunch of on and the because of these was forced to make some pretty incredible. The first one was from the way we began the why is that not says no if it's not the second one was from the famous brace of the made a shocking and that is doesn't mean when you found it on the side of the ground means be out of the point is you didn't buy it bought it that's called and obviously there's no because it's already going to be different. The third one's from the mat. So if it's raw meat, you go butchers. If it's cooked meat, you go. The gar asked, "What do you mean?" Matzah should be dead on arrival because of the fact that isn't it? And the garra said the case of matzabah was when you saw it fall from him. You just didn't know who the person was. Was he aid? Was he not yet? The bottom line is that's why you have to go bas. And then finally the asked from the were again but why is it not and all the roots and the garumar gave up until this point we're not going to work for this and said according to oh by the way ra actually said that it was the lady had to learn the ra only because he holds is going to be us. Either way, this concludes the part of the balance of we now turn our attention to a little more underrated like one of the most but it has its fair share of either ways of as it relates to Rav's of you should know never said it. He never walked into and said we know it that's and we know it based on a now this is a theme that over the years we've mentioned countless times and that is we know was a shask didn't talk a lot says about and is the one that said so we know that Rav even when it came to didn't talk a a lot and that's why says you find this idea of because didn't do a lot of talking and with you had to be which by the way himself said told you that you have to be this is a classic example because we're going to have now this this huge again I love that everybody knows there's a reason that when you order takeout it comes in 19 wrappers it's based on this and you should No, it's never said it. It's something that we know. What is this? Says the Rab was once by the crossing of the river. Ishtatus is the name of the river and there was a crossing and ra is there and he saw that there was a person that was washing the head of an animal. So he had shed an animal and he's holding the head and he's by the river and he's cleaning it out and the head it slipped out of his hand. He fumbled it and now it's in theatis river. So this person was uh very disappointed. So you know doesn't sound like it's the first time it happened. He goes quickly and he brings his basket. He throws it into the river as train. It was his lucky day and all of a sudden instead of coming back with one hit, he came back with two. Rav said, I mean, does this usually happen, right? You lose a dollar, you're trying to find it, you end up finding two. Usually, you just don't find the one, right? So, like, what's going on over here? Rav said there's something a little suspicious. He said, I think both both of these heads are going to be. The reason is cuz there's clearly more than one head in the river. and sounds like the East River. But the bottom line is there's clearly more than one head here in the river. And as a result, he said, I don't know where that other head came from. And by the way, therefore, even the one might have also came from. I don't know where it came from. Therefore, I have to assume both of them are not kosher. Let's just explain this a little bit. Had this person come back with this one head, he would have assumed it's kosher. I mean, he dropped a kosher head and he he picked up a kosher head, so it's probably the same one. But once he picked up two. So clearly there's something else going on on the bottom of the river. Once he knows for sure there's something else going on at the bottom of the river. So now I don't even know if that one mean maybe there's really three now. So went ahead and Ra said the whole thing is is going to be so says that when this story happened. So Rav's were there and so they both turned to Ra and they said he said why would you assume that what they picked up was and really the question was based on the fact that this was a kosher city. I mean, this is a city where made kosher food and as a result and were all Jews. So good. Clearly, there's another head of an animal on the bottom of the river. But why would you assume that it's from a non-culture animal go and assume that it's fine told him? That was his answer. And the heard what Rav said and they knew what Rav meant. You know what Rav meant? Rav meant that although it's true that of the meat in this area is kosher meat but roy of the meat in the world is not and being that this meat was you think it's on the bottom of the river so nobody's able to see it it's for that reason it's for that reason we have to be concerned now that maybe meat came from Yankech and that's where it came from because maybe the meat got swap opted out by an the point IS THERE'S A HASH THAT THAT THE is going to come and he's going to bring meat now from wherever but here's the point from the fact that in a city where most of the meat was presumed to be kosher and we're still worried he's concerned of what do you mean where's Alma's meat coming from I guess that's where it's coming from oh meat is a concept of salon and this is where they came to this so again says, "Rabb never said." You know what Rav said? When this person, this who became a fisherman by the end of the story went and he plucked out these two heads instead of the one. And Rab said, "You're not eating it because I'm worried about all the meat in the world." What do you mean worry about all the meat in the world? Oh, you worried about must be there's a concept of the said there must be a reason the garam said that it's not just because of good raid ra is a that's not why the gar said it because there must be some significance what would be the significance if ra walks into and he says so it's not debatable and is us. But if never said it and it's only so then if you with the story meaning if you have a different interpretation of what Rav meant well then maybe you can argue with the so is saying that you should know when Rav said this he never really said it. It was which means this is the only reason why we made this point that if you want to argue with it there is a little mock to argue wants to know meaning where is there an opening to say that maybe that's not what meant so the says I'll tell you where this port was a port where there were a lot of non-Jews that did business meaning this happened by a river. It happened by some crossing. There was a port over there and there were containers that were coming and going and there was importing. It was exporting. Now the city that this port boarded was a Jewish city where most of the butchers were Jewish and most of the meat was kosher and as a result based on that you would not have to be concerned. But at the same time there is a port and there's people that are buying and selling and there's gefting coming from all over the place. And it's based on that you could have argued that maybe when Rav said when Rav said that I'm worried about Iser it wasn't because of the and based on a concept of is going to be but he's worried about the that do business in this port and in fact the says I'll even prove to you that that might have been what Raf meant because the and that zakashi of doesn't sound like in the world means it's over here right here there's a lot of the surah and it sounds more like rab is worried about the fact that this is a port that a lot of non-Jews do business in and therefore you have to be concerned what's coming from elsewhere not because the brought it but because the actual brought it but the bottom line is the says that's the significance of saying either way is if that's the case, how is Rav able to eat meat? Why isn't all meat? I think we're asking the simplest question in the world, which by the way has some simple answers, but very very basic. How was Rav ever able to eat meat? Why isn't all meat in the world beside the first rav would watch the and literally hot off the press that's what he would eat alternatively there was a sim means he would cover it means he would put a seal on it but the point is there was a sim right the proverbial double wrapper and that's how he would go ahead and or he would cut the meat. He would have the butcher cut the meat in a in a way where there was going to be a and the Garra says is a precedent for great sadik and cutting meat in a certain way when he would cut meat. So he would cut it like a triangle. This is the way he used to cut his uh flesh. So Ra would do something similar. It's interesting. Rashian says that the reason would do this is mitzia was because he didn't want the people in his house to take his meat, right? He wanted to know which is his piece of meat like this. He always had a senate. Rab is worried about but the bottom line IS SAYS THE WHATEVER IT'S a simple question and comes with a simple answer. So in light of the story that we just told the Gamar tells another story. Rav was once going to his who was Rav's Aiden Ravan the Kalapp. So Ralph comes to the port. He's going to take a ferry, a boat, and he's, you know, in route to his aid. And when he shows up, the minute he came, the train came, right? So you go to the train station and masle the second Rav shows up, all of a sudden, boom, it shows up, says the he says, "Oh, today's going to be a good day." Not only is it going to be a good day, I know that when I show up on my ADM, this is going to be a big party because in a superstitious way, if you show up to the port and literally the minute you show up, the the ferry comes, blame me, boy, you didn't get delayed for 4 hours. Blame me boy, they boarded and they took off on time. But fet, this is a situation where like the minute you showed up, boom, you're already up in the air. So, this is already a tremendous good omen. And the Gmorra says when Rav came, he was so confident of how the events were going to play themselves out. Don't try this at home. He comes to this house, he started peeking through the hole. He wanted to see what was going on in the house before he even knocked. Says he looked through the hole and he saw there were right this is old school. You walk into a deli. So he saw the behemoth hanging from the from the ceiling. He knows that Shenzang get right again. Today is going to be a good day. says the he knocks on the door. Everybody comes out to greet him. The problem was the butchers also came out to greet him. The entire house, everybody came out. Now Rav sees that everyone's coming out to greet greet him, right? The singing and that singing all the all the and everybody's coming out to to visit Rav. But Rav was focused. Rav did not take his eyes off the meat. say it's like right he was making sure the whole time that he was looking out to me and in fact Rav told he said I wanted you to know that were not for me my anch would have been eating they would be eating food that they're not let because I was the only one looking at the food EVERYONE WAS LOOKING AT ME I WAS LOOKING AT THE MEAT why not because of the ty of the meat because I didn't want it to be fashion Solomon the bottom line is the says after this whole story right was so excited he knew there was going to be a big party and sure enough there was a big party and even this was like says the at the end of the day Rav when he came in Rav didn't eat after all this after all this Rav said I'm I'm going to pass I'm not going to I'm not going to eat meat what did he eat maybe fish right sire ra is very much associated with fish we've spoken a lot about that over the years but alapon ra doesn't doesn't want to eat me. He says where my timer didn't eat me after all that isn't because of what do you mean he was focused on the meat the entire time. So we know for sure it wasn't maybe the reason he wanted to eat meat is because he felt that he had acted in a superstitious way and we know it says in the Torah you're not let it be superstitious and he felt this was like almost like a mitzvah not literally but he felt that he did an a associated with this meal because he acted in a superstitious way knowing that there was a good meal that was waiting for him. So he felt after he did it, you have to know why he did it. But after the fact he said, you know something, I'm not going to eat from the meat. But says it can't be because himself said any person who acts superstitiously but he doesn't do it in the way of is not considered loosely translated as superstition but in a more nuanced way. What it means is somebody says that if this happens, I'll do this. If that happens, I'll do that. A black cat, you walk under a a ladder. All these different superstitions and uh that we've heard about over the years, right? That's the general concept. And you don't do that. Aid's not allowed to do that. We have a we don't live our life based on these omens and and these signs. The only time we engage a little bit inim is bel right that's the one time where we get involved in this but that's again a whole another in the bottom line is stating that said that a person could do right if you want to be a little bit that's going to be okay in fact what was unique about so we'll focus on that's the more famous of these two stories said very clearly If I'm going to come to the city and I'm going to sit by the well and a woman's going to go I'll know she's and if not I'll know she's not made he was very very clear he said I'm only going to act and move forward based on the way the events play themselves out and being that that was the way alza went about this so that's a nik that's not okay so to use a nikush as a sniffle right like a pisik sometimes will write a chuva and he'll he'll throw in says, "I wouldn't rely exclusively on this, but as a sniff, I'm going to rely on it." So, if you want to use it as a sniff, as an add-on, that's something you would be allowed to do. So, Raph in this instance, right, he didn't say, "I'm only going to my ADM if the ferry." He said, "OH, IT SHOWED UP ON TIME. I sounds like there's going to be a Gishmaka party that's going to arrive when I'm going to get there." But he didn't act or not act based on it. He didn't go all in on this and because he didn't go all in on this is for that reason it's not going to be a problem. The bottom line is says why did after all this not eat is it because of and if it's because of the it wasn't because is and by the way because he holds is not that's why he did this in the first place but the bottom is says I don't understand why didn't eat and for the it was a whole it was a third reason this was aud Rav did not eat from a sudasa and being that this was a sudas. It's for that reason he did not want to eat. It says on the note of Rav showing up at the ferry station. The ferry shows up the minute he arrives and he says, "Wow, this is a good sign." Says the Ravik Rav used to do this often. This is not the only time he did it. Ra was he would use the ferry as a as an omenif would be with what it means is that if had a decision and he wanted to know what to do he would open up a let's say and he would see right # such a concept would be what does that mean he would go over to a child and he would say we'll get back to this in a minute says all the years that was alive have a cas who lived in Rav lived in Bavl right we know Rav had lived in heav but eventually he came to Bavl so all the years that Rav was living in Bavl while was living in Israel would write him letters he would write him brief right letters so would write to him as follows he would address him he gave him tremendous he referred to him as after passed away so the younger now became the god of went from corresponding to Rav now he's corresponding to but the way he would address was so Rav gets the appellation is only says the was a little hurt he said he's not referring to me as I'm assuming the Reason is because a rebi means that on some level you have some knowledge that the other guy doesn't have. Right? The rebi has a certain knowledge that doesn't have. So is there nothing that I know the better than me and everything. So said I'm going to show that I know something he doesn't know. So sits down and writes the of the for the next 60 years. He sends him his calendar says it says you see he knows math right he's a scientist he's I'm not that impressed I mean just beg that a 60 years worth of calendars you know the he has it down the of the and the okay mathematician no says says there's a big what exactly this means but either way he sends him back 13 has a gear of 12 so everything is a question of gear but either 12 or 13 camels that were laden with suffic traus either way got this he said he says you know something I have to be honest I didn't realize was so good I mean I knew RAVMOO I KNOW HE WAS MUCH younger I know everything he says with right. So uh every now and again it's like a he knows math. I hear it's impressive. It's it's important when you learn the keshana but I think he's worthy of but now that he sent me all these trade fish is really holding. So he says no if he's so holding he said I have to meet him. I have to meet him. Say so says I'm booking tickets. I am going now to imagine going to how many gumaras would we have? And we have imagine if himself showed up to either way the says but before went to did what he always did which was he sees a child and he goes over to him and he tells him he says I want to hear a told him that's what I learned today. says well if that's the case must have passed away and that says the is the rest of the story not really didn't happen really didn't die unbelievable they didn't want to be the great to have to go to bubble so whose was threw this child they went ahead and They told him what happened and it's for that reason he never ended up going. He says bias as relates to a bias a child and a a woman even though 100% because that would involve but what does this mean? So Rashi says what this means is that once upon a time there was a superstition that if somebody builds a house and immediately afterwards he gets involved in a business and the business does well that means he should go all in on that business because for sure he's going to be very very m or if somebody has a child and after he has the child he gets involved in a business and it does well that's a sign that he's going to be very and he should go in. Or if somebody gets married and then he does gish and he's very again that's a sign that he's going to do very well. So says the you can't rely on this 100% there is a little bit truth to it added to this but it's only true if it happens three times and based on the following right who said this who said this he says what you're going to go ahead now and you're going to take after I lost you see from here that had been also been taken there would have been and therefore if it happens three times not going to be Okay, this gumar by the way is a very gumar right first of all only happened twice by the way you have to come on to this to teach me the concept of don't we know the idea of I saw my goal says it was it was now it was already three at the very least it answers that you find that it Regardless we are going to end here. So just to speak out um a few RS two like really really short I want to drop longer. The first one is so said that as long as Rab was alive so Raban would send letters to Rab and he would address him as after Rab passed away. So now is no longer corresponding with Rav now he's corresponding with and he would write him said and felt that the reason's calling him and not is probably because doesn't think that knows anything that doesn't know he says I'm going to show him that I know and what does he do he sends him the of 60 years and gets the letter he says no he knows math that's not a reason for me to refer to him as said back he says you know something I'm going to show you I know how to learn fake. He sent him 13 camels of suffic and saw that not only was he impressed, he said, "I have to meet this year." And he literally was in root and they deceived him from the child tells him which obviously meant when in fact had not really died and the bottom line is says the you find this in it's actually interesting because there's an idea of if there's a kash that somebody died right a rumor spreads that somebody died when the person's really alive say it's a school and I've heard over the years different stories about different sadik and most notably most notably Right. There was a rumor that spread to wasn't alive and after this this is it happened with the great where must have thought wasn't alive. Again, sounds like he probably stopped sending him letters until uh you know, maybe got another uh 13 camels full of suffic traus. But the bottom line is this is the Gimar I saw Margolus in his classic. He has like a long piece over here just mentioned the last line. He says so you know is trying to impress on and he said I'll show him something that I know doesn't know and he sends him back. He said okay you know math you're right. I don't know the the mo as well as you know right was known as and the reason he was known as because he was an astronomer he knew astronomy and he knew all these right we said math it's astronomy but the point is because he was so well-versed in in astronomy see ah I'm going to flex in an area of that I know I have that for sure doesn't have but again raan mamish dismissed it he was very very unimpressed so what did he do afterwards he sent him suffic traus why safik trafus So Margolus, I'll tell you what I think the reason is because that had a son who came and he said and commented he said my son knows like and brings him and one shot is that Rabhan was the world's leading bucky in the world of Trafus. So Schmoo tells Raban, "Oh really? You're not impressed? I'm going to show you that I know Traus better than you." And goes ahead and he sends him all these tra and it worked cuz was so impressed. He was so uh taken about that he says I have to go see him. Either way, that's the first Ra. Second order is so the Gmorra said Ravik Rav when he was at some sort of crossroad he would uh make decisions based on the ferry based on the and was then told this story of when Ra passed away and Raban is now addressing and he calls him not Rabenu as a Duke. of where you find that was because before he went to he went to a child and he said and the child said and literally took it as this must be what happened it's interesting the so that's where the talks about all these hebi types of things in says You're allowed to go over to a child and say and based on what the child says or doesn't say, you would be allowed to make decisions. Meaning, you would have thought that it's us or based on the we don't engage in these types of things. This is something that you're actually allowed to do. And says what's the to this in his says what's the why is it why do it why would this be okay so he says I think from the day that was destroyed The was taken away from the prophets and it was given to the goes on and tells a story of where you find the and where you find that it's that from the time the was taken away where did the go didn't leave this world it stayed on planet earth it's sitting now amongst others by the reason it's mut to do cuz it's Not it's not this is not it's just like once upon a time you're allowed to go to the so today you're allowed to go to bas the reason it's to say is we tight up that what the is telling you right now is actually doesn't say it but it's who's the member over hear a few days. This is the past few days on the days that said was given to that's why that he is someone that says why is he saying it's because he holds it and to the extent it's there's nothing wrong with going ahead and doing that. That's the second R. The third R is bifra used to be with a cafer. So what does it mean that was pifas? If you look in the it's some form of what we know as reading from the in his the side of the and this is on that nearly everybody holds that in the world of superstition what you are and what you are not allowed to do. You're allowed to open up a safe to see what you're going to bump into to know what to do. As a matter of fact, we live on that. This is something that we're allowed to do. Meaning, and this is included in the fact that I'm skipping a little bit. I was for my when they wanted to do something. They would take they would open it up. They would look at the first line of the and the to see what they found. And based on what they saw and that's what they did and what emerges that they were being with and this is something that you're allowed to do. In fact say you're supposed to be said this is what meant. What they meant was is you open up a you open up you could OPEN UP A LOOK at the first on the first line and whatever that is you're going to know that's going to give you insight on what to do and this is something that's in fact the quotes that said this is the way we go about argu shaft. Of course, of course, the to this idea is Pacifier. He doesn't bring, but at the same time, this is what is commenting. He's bringing from this that just like we asking, you're allowed to go to a child and say was Mazer, it's an Indian of this also a concept of Bifra. You're allowed to open up a safer gel style and you're allowed to go and try to figure out what you should do. The truth is this idea of permeates the of the I think it's good to talk about it for one second the says so we know that every has a mitzvah right it's the 613th mitzvah in the but the says that the mel the king in addition to the fact that he has an obligation to have a Like every Jew, he had to have his own. He had to have a second. When this person is going to become king and the concludes, it should be with him and he should reek from it throughout his entire life. Just to read one paragraph in the he says, Then the king sits on the throne of and he uses and right in a perfect world the way the used to operate was and by the way the for this is right every morning they used to come to and they would tell him that right and he would say you know go collect money and they would say what do you mean collect money we've tried this yesterday we tried this the day before right the famous and all the would engage and they would get involved in assisting says that's the way it was when the king was sitting when in that world of that's the way the king knew what to do. He did it. He did it stating that but when the all of those things were removed when the were not in the maj anymore where they have when they don't have anymore at that point the king is no longer sitting on the butto he's now it's like he's a king I'm a king of a country just like other countries have kings it's not thee it's not that much anymore. It's only a separate and when he's going to have that safety, you know what he's going to do with it? This king is going to want to know how to go about his business and he's not sitting. So he's not tapped into he doesn't have he's only so what am I supposed to do? I'm a king. I'm running a Jewish Medina. How am I supposed to know how to go about my business? The answer is you should have a safe should be with YOU not you should read from it your whole life you will read in it all the happenings of your life everything that's you everything that's how you have to control and run this country is going to be in the this way the over here. The truth is in this is at the very very end of the it's on page also talks about this Indian and he's a little bit he starts with a it's in the says the was it was says The was what does that mean? It means I used to be from the he said understood that sometimes when he needed an even though had and he had to but the itself was it gave him it was it explained him sometimes how you're supposed to do what you're supposed to do Inside that through learning you're going to see your whole life. That's what it means. The gave me that's the way it is also being listen to these words. Listen to these words. It's not such a sad it's okay. It's not such a you know what's more because so often when a person is just enjoying he's a in the pleasures of the he's going to find in the or he's going to find in the He's going to find something that's relevant to him. He was thinking how he should write his safer. So the great he wanted to write Magnopus and he was debating in his head what is your name this words of his name was and his grandmother that raised him name was and he was thinking you know what maybe I should have something that has my name my grandmother's name and he wasn't sure and that day they call him up to the and he's standing by the bema together with vikra and he said that's what I should name my and he named his and brings a bird this came and it literally sat next to him and he was And he saw the wasl and he was able to understand when we went through the grasshopper and we told the the story and the story of the he sent me immediately this that all of a sudden he was and then fears in bold letters He says things like this happen every single day and that to me is much more when he goes he says let me open up a safe and let me see what's going on over here that's not such a that's notes it's but the fact that you're learning THE DAF AND P ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMETHING you just learned has a shik to your life something that's going on in the world something that's neg to you that's niflick that's incredible or it's something. And he's not 100% sure what the name is. And all of a sudden, he gets up and he says, "Oh, my name is my grandmother's name. I'm so because she raised me." By the way, in the he tells the story of why he named the incidentally I saw. He has a in the back of on this line with the and he he actually asks as because has a whole even talks about is it appropriate to maybe name a safer after a woman I mean it's his grandmother but he's throwing his the name into the name of a cafer and he says it doesn't bother me he said because the great the balmillis Esther that's the pier on the side of the sam mitzvah he was one of the go and the balagillis Esther writes that he's naming the safer was Esther because his mother's name was Esther was also that named that's why it's called because his mother's name was and he was giving a dedication to his uh dedication to his mother. We've mentored from Margolus say that he wrote was dedicated to his first wife name was there's a lot of this but the bottom line is he doesn't bring the story he does not in the bring the story that he was called up to the and they called this is on the but the bottom line is that the said that the fact that when he's doing a he said that's not the biggest in the world what is aesh is that sometimes it just happens and He says that's what said what does it mean? But you know what the is even when I did it I'm just enjoying I'm just sitting having a even then it's guiding me and it's telling me what to do. The great ones used to marry what they were learning to what they had going on in their life and they actually took it as a sign. They took it as a sign and the is teaching us that you don't have to do the but there's an idea of even when the even then there's a of I mean I lost count but the amount of times we've had in this cycle of dafo where things that we were learning and how they coincided with what's going on in the world is staggering. It's already past I think uh what you expect just statistically analytically to happen just because it's way way way beyond that. It's absolutely fascinating and this is a real Indian that's very much based on a on a one line in today's D is something that's based on the incidentally this of brings already. So this made it to the which we know were the things that used to always talk about the things that were so much so writes in the that any person that sits down to learn if you knew the is not going to see one thing he didn't already hear him because everything there was this was his whole life but this was one of the things used to always You should read from it your entire life. But you will read in it your entire life. everything of your life, any decision you're ever going to have to make. These are things that you're going be able to find in the the says about the meal said it's true for anyone that learns there's an even when it's not doesn't you have to have the special and do it in the right way you know standing on one foot said even when you just enjoying you're going to see the is going to talk to you through the is going to be the is going to give you to have a time of this a time of this and to be to see the of the the guiding light of the it should anatas.
