This kid knows and half of Mishn because he goes to one of those zikra schools. He was leaning on Pes. He l like like from a hi Rabbi, my 5-year-old Olivia and three-year-old Mia Maya have been watching your class every day. They wanted to share a message to the please see attach to make their day to see it played in class. P.S. If a five and threeyear-old can do the daff every day, all adults have no excuse. Good morning. Shalom. My name is Rabbi Yahunan. Something like that. I know. L O J A N A N. I guess Yan. I lead a yeshiva for Grim in Colombia, South Africa. America. South America. For the last 16 years, we've been guiding and preparing individuals who are leaving Avador and embracing Tyra Zara and Tyra. Recently Aisha began learning dyomi together using your videos which are translating to Spanish. The initiative has been going ongoing for the last past two months and include all students in yeshiva. We can sincerely say that your work has played a vital role in helping us build a new generation in South America. We we'll continue to update you on your on our progress. Attach you some pictures from our community for MDY for MDY. Sincerely here it is in Colombia. So I'll tell you the story over there. One of the stories that really touched me. This is the first time I think that he's writing to us, but he was at the Shabbatan. Yeah. This guy, this this is the Russian. No, this not the rabbi. No, no, no. Y someone else. Y someone else. Okay. It sounds like the same community. But it's the Y Goldberg community. Not the guy. Not. It's not different community. What? Benny says he thinks it is. He looks very much like him. Okay, fine. He wasn't the priest. He wasn't the priest. Okay. But anyway, if that's the community, so one of the very moving stories that I heard from Y Goldberg was Yel Gold who's also at the Shabbaton was was that um they they didn't have money very very poor over there. They didn't have money to put together satire for satire. They needed a satyra. So one of the guys only somebody that has a pet could really fully appreciate this. One of the guys sold his dog and when he was saying he was crying he sold his dog to raise a little money for the safety. That's something I would do. Tell my wife I'm doing it for the sake of Tyra. She remember how to get rid of that dog. I could like finally my my son took him to Los Angeles. You don't have a son in Los Angeles? You guys know Akiva? Yeah. I have to share this special video of my son and Frank Gman and his friend Laser handler enjoying your live at 12 a.m. while their friends are having a kumitz. They chose to learn instead. Look at this kumitz in the backyard. I guess this is like my what is this? What does that relate to? They have like some property. Three more days. It's going to be okay. What else do we have here? [Music] Oh, real quickly, we're we're running late here. I want to share Shabas's part of this Russia before the CM associate rabbi Axel encouraged the kahal to start learning dy. He made the point that even if you have not opened the gumar in years, oh this is the middle of the is live. Wow. This is what sound. Why not for the whole MDY family? Oh, man.

I'll put the to the phone and you'll b that I'm asking let's go new let's go all right thanks for being such a big part of MDY look at that I wanted to share part of his before the rabbi encouraged the start learning the he made the point that even if you have not opened the gmor in years MDY was still the place for you he went on to share many platforms to access the shar and deputize me as the mdy ambassador we're doing our to bring more people to the dab official unofficial MDY ambassador of new york who what's that where is this I don't know sponsors oh boy this is the first time that we're doing a corporate sponsor this is a this is a very very nice sponsorship David Salman dedicated in memory of He's David Solomon for years.

So we're holding by a brand new Mishna. We're going to try to go from Mishna to Mishna on you give says the Mishna. Okay. So if you never learned any it's perfectly fine with starting a brand new mission. It's like a brand new ma now a city it has of a desire taking place that day. So the first mission says you're not allowed to do any business with a idol worshipper 3 days before their holiday because you said one of the reasons main reason cuz they're going to go give praise to the the idol. So 3 days you stay away from them. So what what if they're doing the idol worship right now? There's two types of stores. Stores even today, you know, there's a store, you put something out, you show, you have a flag on July July 4th, you put um some wreath, the the the holiday lights, whatever it is, you you want to show that you're part of it. So, you put the is going to talk what exactly they put outside, but you show that you're you're you're in their program. In other words, you probably give some of your money you give to the to meer. Yeah, exactly. There's literally a story like that in Ban. There's some store. Not every store is part of it. Since these guys give some of their profits, the tax they give to the the whatever it is, the guy in charge of a deserh is to take from abar. Maybe to give tabar is okay. What do you guys say? You give tabor doesn't make sense. You should be able to give tara. No way. Hello. What are you saying? Hello. Oh, you hear you hear what he's saying? He's saying good. To give someone else to give. It's your but you're the Jew. The question really is does the get. So let's see. It's not so much about the Jew. It's about the non-Jew saying something inappropriate to thanking the because of you and that is your fault. We said that's putting a stumbling block to the non-Jew making him praise his so this is a very important rashi that we all must know because this rash has to bomb. So first Rash says like this those who don't have whatever decoration outside don't take the tax for doesn't receive anything from that. Oh but here comes the question. But what about the first missionar? What about you're not allowed to do business 3 days before their holiday all of a sudden? Oh because they don't have decorations. You're allowed to do business with them, but you're not allowed to do business with the with David Desar three days before even and this is on the day of desar certainly and the Mishna says even three days before you're not allowed to do business. So he says like this is a very important that we have to remember for today. So you're not allowed to sell to them. You're not allowed to sell because he might sell them an animal. He might take that he might take that animal and or the is that the person buying is going to be happy only the the first says is when you sell him something but to buy from them to buy from them gold silver diamonds something that that's going to last because most sellers they're sad They're only selling because they're desperate for money. They don't want to get rid of it. Okay. Says, "What kind of decorations are we talking about?" Something like this. Here you have a you decorated your storefront with roses and hadim that smell good. The thing is because he benefits from the smell. It smells really good. And therefore you cannot go into such a store and purchase anything. Why? Because you're benefiting from these and that were you got to stick that in, okay, with your little pencil. Put it in. It was a not just you didn't go to the store and buy flowers. You took those flowers and put it in front of you a desc. Now you're hanging it on your storefront. Anybody that walks in is benefiting from the actual aidar itself to crad this guy opens up a brand new store. It's an old joke but I heard from uh shakar official shakar. So he said it's a classic. He says a guy opened up a new store and somebody sent him a thing of flowers. So he looks inside says rest in peace. So he calls up the flowers place. He says, "Why'd you send me rest in peace?" He says, "Oh man, that means the other guy at the funeral got, "Welcome to your new uh house or whatever. Welcome to your new place. Welcome to your new location." Yeah. Okay. But if it's if it's like this, put a bunch of bananas on the front, that's not a problem cuz there's no smell. There's no hano. You don't get any ho from it. myo here. This is this is very annoying. I'm gonna tell you something really it's gonna push a lot of buttons here. It pushed my button. I got to tell you this really annoyed me. I'm just curious what here thinks. There's a story not so long ago where a bunch of nur you know these guys are the guys that go to Iran. They decided they're gonna do a big mitzvah and they went into the cemetery on Yumikon right before everybody showed up and they took all the flowers all the flowers off the graves. So the Shila is were they over on Geneva? Does anybody think they're on Geneva? No. No. Because they're crazy. They're not have no doubts. So they're not that's also okay. But then here's the thing. Here's the here's the crazy thing. They they took the flowers and they try to sell them in Raabet. So the Shila is if the No, it's not so much the flowers. The the actual vase was is valuable. They said listen the they did it wasn't owned by anybody. They said it's also about no, you're not allowed to benefit from a mace. So no, the mace didn't want it. Why? Because you're not allowed to put flowers. They did a mitzvah. You're not put flowers on a grave because they got so me was never the the mace. the maze. You let us sell the kids. I'm just I just want to push a button. I hope I push your button. Oh, so since it says in the huh I don't have to show the P because it's in here, right? You shouldn't take anything from David. In other words, not even the smell for you by you smelling it is a so don't go in there. Great. Why these flowers only have smell? Fruits don't have smell. No, fruits don't have smell. You go home, check it out. Your apples have a smell. Flowers. After some time, you don't. Okay. Yeah. After some time. Yeah. Does your wife take the the rose and go? Does she do that to the apple? Soak says like this listen to this says not like you guys says by you smelling it and benefiting is but to give money to the that's okay you're allowed to purchase from says nope you're not allowed to give anything to the so even if you walk into a store that you know they're going to give some of your money to. How do you know that? Because there's a bunch of bananas and apples on the on the front. You're not allowed to go in there. You're not allowed to purchase anything. How does he know if you're not allowed to benefit from them? Certainly don't give to them. Okay. So, we have we have a question. What do they do? They they have a little trick. They say if you are part of our group, you're part of our you don't have to pay sales tax today. No sales tax. It's one day of the year, no sales tax. So you go over there and you have a big problem. What are you going to do? Call me. If you put this on your head or on your donkey's head, we know that you're part of us. You don't pay sales tax. All you need to do, you need to wear a little little little crown, a little wreath on your head and you're good. So now what do you do? We're going to observe no no tax today. Day off. What is it called? Like in in jersey they have that. No, you go to tax holiday. Tax holiday. If you don't wear that, you don't you have to pay the taxes. That's there. He's stuck. If he puts this wreath on his head, he's enjoy Oh. Oh, so if you have a art scroll, who has a English art scroll here? No, not don't look over there. Look on top. Where's the What is the There's a I was yesterday at a I had a meeting with maybe I'll tell you guys a different day. Something special. I brought him this this from this line right over here. It says over here, if you're a Jew, if he puts the he's going to benefit. What is he going to benefit? What? What's the sales? Sales tax. Sales tax. That's what I thought. Sales tax. Sales tax. Cuz you have a Hebrew art scroll. You have a rashi also. Wow. That's unbel What kind of gar? Let me see what you got. It's unbelievable. Yeah. No, I'm just saying the difference between the Hebrew and the English art scroll in a lot a lot of places the Hebrew art scroll tells you the behind it. The English gives you a literal translation. So it says you are benefiting you're benefiting but it doesn't say what the benefit is. It could be two benefits. The smell that we were talking about up until now and the tax benefit. Raji says the benefit is the smell. It's interesting because before we're talking about I'm now thinking now out loud. Before we're talking about it's it's really it's a smell of over here. You're putting on your own thing. Okay, fine. But look at this. The money the money is yours, right? It's not called. Oh, how do you know? Check this out. Says exactly what he's a lawyer. He says so brings that you're going to benefit from the smell. But what about what you said? He has a tax benefit. It's much more. You're enjoying a $200 benefit instead of a little smell. And says that's not called enjoying. The money is yours. You don't not giving money is not the same enjoyment. You're not receiving enjoyment. You're just keeping your money in your pocket. It's different. And now, so the guy has a dilemma. If he puts on this crown, he's gonna enjoy benefit. He doesn't put the crown into Mahana. He's gonna give David deser benefit by buying something and 10% let's say goes straight to David goes to to the whatever I don't want to say it here goes to the you guys know what house oh so comes out like this comes out different than listen to this so therefore to do business with him now I go to this store because you have this dilemma if you go there you're going to give them money. But what did say it's not a problem to give them money. The problem is to receive from them. It this sounds like says it is a problem to give them money. Not only that, it says so let's say you did go there. You didn't know that. You went there. You bought a nice animal crazy. You bought a $2,000. That's what it cost today, right? A $2,000 cow. You have to take a knife and cut its um tendon below its knee. Cut the tendon. You buy all these things. You buy a suit. You buy fruit, vegetables, you rule, you have to let it spoil. What about money and valuables? Anything that's made out of metal? You should go take it and throw it out. You know what? I'll tell you the story right now. This is a perfect time. I'm leaving Shir last night. It's about 10:30. I'm walking. One guy was walking with me. A car pulls up. He says, "I just drove from Sri Lanka. I give you something." Okay. Who are you? He says, "His name is Bar." I wrote down, "You know the guy?" Okay. Comes. This is what he gives me a gift. I I don't think I ever got a gift like this. Give Baldick a gift. First of all, it comes with a box. MDY box. Open it up. Pure silver. Four of these cuz he gives these out. If you if you do a pin ben, he wanted me to show the what uh what the pabin is. But here's the kicker. $3,300 gift, an ounce of gold. He says, I want you to show the island what an ounce of gold is. And if you don't trust me, he didn't say it like that. He says, "I want to give you a a special digital scale that that weighs the ounce of gold." And he he weighed it. It's a little bit more. It's 30 something 30 point something grams or whatever. It's a nice gift, boys. It's a gift. It's a private gift, but it's the shears gift. It's like I have to use I can't buy anything for my wife now. I'm keeping this. Every time the talks about gold, silver, it's beautiful. Iold. Yeah. The name of his place is he says he also sent me a beautiful email this morning right before I came to very long. You know what he says? I'll tell you what he says. He says that um I'm going to read it tomorrow. It's a long one but he says he just found the by makus. He says before I was dead now I'm alive. He works the whole day. He does real estate. He does this. He does he has this place. It's a bank of gold that you give them the gold in. No no no mom whatever. But that was the line he said. I called up I called up Benny. Benny was on the way home. I said, "Benny, come back here. You got to meet this guy." And then I left him. What happened? How long did you speak to him? A long time. It's not an arm kesh, but it will do. What? It's not AR. It's a nice little gift here. No, like if they're Why'd you come to She just drove him from your to give this to me. Anyways, so if a guy has this, you buy this from the guy here. I could use it today. You buy this. You get this $3,300 coin. You take it and you put in the Dead Sea. There's nothing you can do with it. So, either you chop it up in a grinder and put it in the ground and nobody can get to it. But, if you don't want to chop it up, the only way to get rid of it is put in the Dead Sea. You can't even put in another ocean cuz somebody's going to go scuba diving there and find it. You put in the Dead Sea because the salt. Yeah. Yeah. The salt will corrode it. Exactly. You can open up a business. Go under. You told me you never had that thing. It's a new business. You said gold doesn't erode. What? So, so go down there. Maybe people threw out gold there over the years. You're not allowed to use it though. So, we're going to have a little bit of discussion. What's this? What's this business? You do one of these. You got to chop it from the arrow down. Yeah, if you look at the chart on top on the screen, you can see it. [Music] It says, "What do you do if you put the re the the crown on? You're going to benefit from the it says you're not allowed to purchase anything because you're giving them you're giving them money." Says, "You're allowed to purchase from them. You don't care. We don't care if the money goes as long as he says in the gift then you could do it. That's what he says in the terrorist where I'm trying to think. I saw that. I don't Are you sure it's for this? Yeah. After that, he says, "But if the is then you can do it, uh, no, where do we have it? I thought I put it in." Okay. Uh, I think it's here. Something else. I think I know what you're talking about. Okay, fine. You ask me a question that over here you have a you have something that says against you're right it's against but guess what there's a not only is there the between the many and the few this is the picks and he has the better side now he goes with the majority goes with so it's better They hold your letter by from a guy. By the way, did any I'm just throwing my ADD just kicked in. Did anybody here hear a huge sound in the middle of the night where the house shook about 1:00 in the morning? Two. My wife woke me up in such a panic and I thought she's crazy. And then another one hour because we're higher up. It shook something like what? What? Yeah, you heard that. Okay, good. We're not the only It wasn't our building coll. Okay, good. But the the panic, the panic said, "Wow, these women, they went through some trauma." I'm like that argue and says there's no because has a major problem. How could admit, you hear the problem? How could admit if there's guess what? He's on the wrong side. like the the individual. So he says right away there's no you go down to a fear you know like a marketplace on the day of on that day right all these things are on the day of and what does it say all we need to do is read these four words then the price continues for five 10 lines but what's important for us is this You're permitted to purchase from them says you're not allowed to purchase from the under because some of the money goes to the you're allowed to take you're allowed to buy from what are you buying from them an animal a slave but even real estate vineyards the go into the courts this is maybe what you're talking out the is a is a you're giving them you're giving them this by going in there it's permitted to go into go yeah but if you're saving yourself here's a you have to ask your local rabbi right but if you don't go into their what are you going to do you're going to lose your real estate you just purchased a nice building and somebody comes into you got to you got to you got to get a deed the whole thing that's in their listen to this if the You got to go into even though because you don't know where where they buried their people and you got to go in there to go in there and and and uh you know litigate do whatever you need to do with them. Here's like a riddle. You're allowed to go into allowed to go into basmmediately going to basically go in there press. You're not allowed to go into a BA press. What's a BA press? What? You are allowed in a base of press. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, but correct. Typically speaking, you're not allowed to go into bas is a place where there was a here we have a little bit of a video. This is a video not to be funny. There's a video to teach the idea of bas. What is besap? There's a field that used to have a grave and somebody plowed it over. Here we go. Besa refers to a field with a grave that has been plowed over raising a concern mean that the bones may have been scattered across an area of 100 amos. On our doth we learn about the isser for a cohen to pass through such a field except if he is on his way to marry a woman or to study Torah. You may be asking yourselves, why would someone plow right over a grave? He's learning paro while he's doing it. Vald that's a bas of brass. What? He's watching himself because he's part of the daff. That's the whole thing. That's the that's the whole he's part of the daff that's watching the daff is watching him. He keeps it keeps on going. It's like a mirror I guess like those. Anyway, so we're we're concerned that a fragment of a bone because the bone that's spread 100 is like 200 feet in each direction. So you're not allowed to walk there. But this guy, he's allowed to go to learn. Hold on. Hold on. One second. One second. Oh, we have a rule. I forgot to tell you your guess. But once once says become go through this to learn and to marry a wife that's if you can't find another she in but if you find a time you're not let it go even if you find another become the guy went to ask the RV the big problem his father was a big and his father's very disappointed in him because he was learning his father said well it's you know you're not you're not coping everything you got you got to you got and he says no I enjoy it so they went to ask said what is what what's he doing he says he's learning by rebell Oh, that's motor. If that's what you're what [Music] if you if you enjoy it, if that's where you enjoy, that's where you go. Whatever you enjoy, you have you have a show. It's not the same. Everybody has learns from a different person. What about seriously this is brought down. This this we had with remember we had with he wanted to stay in for another year and his father said no what's the if a son wants to go to the father said but I'm scared it's dangerous this that the son has the right not to listen to his father he doesn't have to listen to his father when it comes to to learning from somebody else so let's remember the one says you let it go learn We're trying to bring a from the first part 10 lines ago that says you're permitted to buy from a fine [Music] there's a story where where Tal went to learn to so says over here if I can here you're only allowed to go to marry a woman if you you have intent to go back don't stay there oh she's from there I'm staying And then he goes on to say if it's only learning and marrying a woman because it's very mitzvah the says even anything else just we're bringing and we say because these are considered lighter mitzvah interesting but holds it's only these two what does that mean so Rashi explains the first this has nothing to do with anything but don't tell me that never saw this whole longer Because himself comments on this price and says you know what is right you're allowed to learn tyra. So if he saw this price about then he saw the first part that says you're allowed to buy from a guy. So so why is saying that there's no if you're buy from a guy holds you're not allowed to buy from a guy and there's no over here says before she buy from a guy and saw this because he comments on it. So the says this answer we're going to see it again on there's a big difference a store or an individual a store gives taxes to the government not only to the government to the local guy that's a problem says you can't go into the store I was talking about going at the store this over here is talking about buying an animal from a private individual those private individuals they don't pay taxes to the so you're allowed to buy from them. We're going to see that there are some that do pay taxes. So there's three categories going to say there's a store that's there all the time and there's a guy that just shows up for 5 minutes and sells his car real quickly on the corner of the street. He's not going to pay taxes. So now we're just going back into it. Bema talker. If you buy bea from David, you have a problem. You got to do something that renders it useless. Cut its tendon. What is it called? Achilles Achilles tendon, right? Like the guys that that snaps in basketball. Not a good injury. It doesn't doesn't heal, right? How can you do such a thing? It's terrible. It's very painful for the for the animal. Because this is a specific thing that the says, "Okay, you take their their their animals, cut their their tendant We have a problem. We say that it means to cut the tendon like this picture I showed it 20 times. It doesn't matter from that point on from the hack down. You're not today we don't have a mdish unfortunately. So what do you why are you making this? He's saying this goes to the mdish. You're not allowed to make something. It's also another lion of of what's this is everybody has a certain value the says so let's say you're a male between the age of 20 and 60 you have the the top you're the top tier you're worth 50 so if you say I want to pay no I'm fixes to the mikdash so you owe the md 50 the problem is there's no mdash so what do you do you didn't listen and you did it now what do you do with the 50 shekel If you gave an animal to the B mikdash, you must render it useless by cutting its tendon. Oh, we would think that it's a tendon. But the is going to tell us it's something else. And that's the problem. All spoil the same thing we had before. If you have money from gold, you take it and you throw it in. You put it into the Dead Sea. Now, this is the big problem. What does it mean? Not like we said cut its tendon terrible thing. You put it into a room and you let it die. So the kash is well the the kash is we said means to cut a tendon and now you're telling me e means something completely different. I'll just tell you the famous joke over here. There was three people that were thrown into jail for 20 years and they each had one. You could get one thing. So the Americans said I want I want a cell phone. Cell phone. Okay. They gave a cell phone. 20 years. The Italian, I want to go in with my wife. Wife. The Arab, I want a cigarettes for the whole 20 years. Okay, no problem. After 20 years, they open up the the door. The American is like all excited with his cell phone. He did a lot of stocks and this and that. Became a multi-millionaire. The Italian Galdic, everything's great. The Arab comes out, he goes, "Anybody have fire?" Fire. Oh, we have to do this first. Hold on. most global experts in international financial services anonymous for the smooth healthy labor and birth. This is another corporate sponsor a true community. If you cut its tendon, how long will it last? Pretty long time until it dies. So therefore, it's an embarrassment to Kachum. But by putting it into a room, not giving it any food, it'll die right away. Day two, it's done. Well, if you don't want to be embarrassed, I have a great idea. Do a and finished. End the story. Die right away and less pain. Says people might come to eat it. Why? because they see a animal they come to eat it make it a gist. So now today we don't have we don't do animals so much we do cars here this is a good example of what what a gist is in a car [Music] That's a gist. Take the animal, chop it in half like that. Here's another I found another gist. Here's a gista. This is a This is a Tesla. How do I know? Cuz it says on a Tesla. All right. So, guess what it means? Just chop it in half so nobody can eat it. Nobody's going to think it's kosher. You chopped it in half and like this. It doesn't have to suffer a slow death. This would be chop up something that's kadesh. It's it's you start chopping it up. It looks it looks like like you're giving rendering it. What do you mean? It looks like you're chopping its tendon. That's a real M. It might not be a tra right is above the h lower than that is not a tra but it's a m says a m is only something that ruin something from going to the in our days we don't have a problem with since anyway you can't bring it onto the but we don't it doesn't matter if you make the there's a whole she brings down if If you're allowed to do bloodletting to an let's say an animal is a carbon and it's about to be a carbon but it's it looks like it's dying. So you could save it. You take a a syringe, you poke it, you you you do bloodletting and it could live. You're not allowed to do is if you're allowed to do it cuz you're making it a balm, but it's going to die anyways. So here you have a situation where there's a m it's dying. It's a pretty big mum to die and then you're going to do another m on it. That's that's a problem. So the gar says you see from here then that's to save its life. It's a lot to do it. So to add another mo would also be a problem even in our seems like over there it can't you can't put another dying and nevertheless you're not allowed to do it in the time of the mdash. You read it has but you could still sell it. You could you could redeem it and take the money and buy something. There's something you could do with it. the but in the hour we don't have there's nothing to do with it. There's no there's no there's no there's nothing and therefore is there bumped into standing by the by the entrance or it says that if you purchase an animal under you must render it useless by by cutting its tendon. Crazy question. What about a human being? You bought a soar says, "First of all, time out. Let's let's break this down a little bit. Let me look at my Of course, you're not allowed to cut a Jew's tendon. You don't own him. He works for you for six years, but you don't own him physically." My question was, what about a non-Jewish slave that you own him physically? What's the question at all? idol worshipper and somebody a shepherd. Now it's interesting. Yeah, we had a lot of all our allino the greatest of the great were all shepherds. But there's a big problem to be a a shepherd and and let your animals graze in other people's fields. Then you're a big ganov. So if you're in big trouble from whatever it is, you you pretend you don't even see you don't you know you just keep on going. The guy fell into the pit. You let him stay there. It's interesting. You don't throw the guy into the pit physically. You don't throw idol worshiper into a pit. But if he's begging for for you to help him, you don't have to. But you see from here, you know how to throw him into the pit. You're not allowed to kill him. You know how to cause damage to idol worshipper, you don't have to help him. So too, you're a slave. You don't have to help him. But you you don't you don't you don't cut his tendon. Yeah. Today there's a whole shil every time we mention it it's to go back the says that nowadays since we don't have so there's no problem to gr to have to have sheep the problem is today that we're the over here it says in the because we don't unfortunately we don't we don't have a lot of but today we are they're saying well the reason why the they're always shepherds and everything is because they want to control land it's also good says Sorry, you're allowed to buy from the non-Jew on the day. Are we referring to just a Jewish slave or even a non-Jewish slave? It probably means only a Jewish slave. So is very interesting. Why are you buying this Jew? You're buying this Jew to help him out. You're doing a mitzvah by buying him. You're buying him off a non Jew. So you're going to bring him into a Jewish home. You're saving him. But what mitzvah are you performing by buying a non-Jewish slave? Robin says in the name of No, there is a mitzvah when you buy a non-Jewish slave by him becoming your slave now he has to get a whole thing is like a woman. So you brought him closer to Hashem. Interesting. Seems like there's a Indian to bring more into that's great by a human being. What what kind of how you bring an animal into the into the famous a guy comes to reformed rabbi says rabbi could you make a yiskar on my my dog? So rabbi says no I don't do that but there's a there's a sh down the block that does yizkar for dogs. I don't do that. So the guy says, "Oh, what a shame. Cuz I was going to give a $50,000 donation to the synagogue. Okay, I'll just go down the block." He says, "Oh, you didn't tell me the dog is Jewish. The dog is Jewish. I can do it." So I had a miso. We had a miso. I just tell you real quickly. I never said this, but I'm not going to say I was going to say I was going to donate the sh right behind this wall. I donated my my mother. I donated money for it. Not it donated money for it. So told me before shul said listen you donated all this money let's do a thing I'll say that you'll match any donation in the but what happened was what happened before that I got to hold on a second hold serious stuff but it's a great hold quick yeah look at him my father was by me for some my father always every year gets she told me he's going to the minion over here by it ends up good it goes to Khan, good ending. You need more time for this story. No, no, it's real quick. I'm saying real quick. He's going to Khan. So, I called up the guy from Khan. He said, "Listen, my father is coming to How much do you want for?" He says, "I can't sell it to you because there's a there's a bid." I said, "Whatever the bid was last year, tell me what it is, and I'll just add, you know, whatever 50% more just I need I need to get." I'm sorry. I can't do it. I can't do it. Fine. The next day, I see all the guys in the showing smoozing. What's going on? Afterwards, what happened? Because they decided, oh, I'm gonna have to double what they do. So, everybody's gonna get together. Time out. Time out a second. Time out. Hold it. Hold it. Why are you saying this stuff here? Sir, they start. It's $1,000, $2,000, 20,000, 30,000 for it's going. I told I told No, there's a certain limit. Bottom line is limit. That was the problem. Okay. So, I didn't say limit. Okay. Whatever it was, how much how much did it end up being my my donation? My thing 146,000 shuckle or something. 146,000 shekele. Yeah, something like that. Something like that. Okay. So, whatever it was, whatever it was. Okay. 146,000 shekele. Just take that number in. M y. This is the best part though. No. So, now you have to decide what to do cuz if you're going to double it, remember? Oh, I was going to double it. Yeah. You said you're going to give twice the amount of any donation. So, now if they get it, then you have to give twice that. So, I gave it. I gave it twice. Said No, sir. You You said 148. Yeah. That way you don't have to double it cuz you went higher and they couldn't go higher. No, they No, they that was it. They Okay, fine. So, the bottom line is I just like to end the misant I get a phone call from the guy from Khan. He goes, I didn't know you want to give 146,000 check out for the aliyah. I was like, no, I I'm giving donation to the No, no, I didn't buy aliyah for that. It happens to be I put in an aliyah. I got an aliyah out of it, but it was just a donation. I was going to give the donation anyway. Okay. I just thought it's funny causing up if I would have noticed 146 and now we're talking. Now I would have given your father a thing. [Music] Yeah. Great. Yeah. Where are we holding? [Music] No. Oh, so but what what are you doing with the when you take an animal, you take a card from from the idol worshipper, he has less belongings now. It's good. Meaning a guy that needs to raise money now he has less belongings. So by taking his belonging, taking his animal from him, it's good. Let's just do this real quickly to the Mishna. two um one bought shoes from the from the idol worshipper and one bought uh a pitha. Now both of them it's a a sandal is something that that lasts so it fits into our soap says Tyus is because it's a it's and he bought it from a guy. How do you buy bread from a guy? So says either you needed either there's no other bread so you allowed to buy from a guy or you bought it for a slave. Okay. So now this is typical human behavior. You do something that's looks bad, just as bad as your friend. But you look at him and you put him down. He says, "Yasma, you orphan. You nonim guy your rebi would act like you guy looks at him. What are you talking about? So I bought a look at you. You're an orphan. How do you buy shoes from him? Like why do you think you're better than me?" Says, "But we both bought from the individual." So from an individual, you're permitted to buy. We said, but the other guy, each one of the other guy, but he's what is he doing? I'm here for a reason. I'm allowed to, but he he shouldn't be here, but he also is allowed to. And he thinks about you that you shouldn't be here. It's only when you buy from a store because they they give the taxes. But if you buy from was alive at this place in a place in our days in this place the is very careful they take from everybody even from individuals say you're not allowed to buy from individual how did they buy the sandals and the pith there's three categories there's a guy that sells his salat here inabish in the in the the merkaz every single week. He's he doesn't have a store. He pays taxes. There's a guy that does it a one time thing. One time thing doesn't pay taxes from him.
