Also, sheer on Rosh Hashanah itself

mincha is at 5:30, not here, next door.
And the second day of Rosh Hashanah
sheer is motzei Yom Tov.
First sheer is and I want to be the
first one to say this. I was learning
the daf today. I think it's incredible.
Last year when we were learning the daf
of Rosh Hashanah the the daf was about
Rosh Hashanah.
This year, I think it's incredible.
You heard it here first.
Tavshin pay beis is going out, tavshin
pay gimmel coming in. Daf pay beis, daf
pay gimmel. I think it's incredible.
[Music]
Uh so, the first daf on motzei Yom Tov
is pay beis, second daf will be
uh pay gimmel, sorry. Pay gimmel, you're
right. First first sheer on pay gimmel,
second sheer on pay beis because pay
beis is already going to be
said on the first day of Yom Tov.
9:30.
Like tonight.
Dear Reb Eli, this coming Sunday will be
Reb Falik Barber's one-year anniversary
since joining MDY. This is from Yochanan
Itzkowitz. Reb Itzkowitz, he will be
sham finish his eighth mesechta since
starting with us. As I'm very proud of
his accomplishments, I can't help
thinking about my own journey with MDY.
I started at the end of Erev Yom Tov
coming from a small daf yomi chabura
which I sadly loved during COVID. As
soon as quarantine was over I tried
several online shiurim but none of them
worked for me. When I heard about MDY I
was I really wanted to try it but I was
nervous about joining a sheer that had
3,000 people in it. I believe that was
how large it was back then.
I was coming from a history of small
chaburas where the members had achdus
where a small and were a small little
family. How's I ever going to form a
kesher with so many people? I tried out
one sheer and was hooked right away.
Then I started going to some live
shiurim and meeting a few of the chevra
and although I never met them in person,
I felt like I already knew them from the
emails and the shiurim. Fast forward
almost two years and baruch Hashem I'm
proud to say that MDY is my second
family. I would say first family but my
wife might hear this.
May hear this. Last Friday afternoon
just before Shabbos I was talking to
Yossi Klein on the phone
and I happened to mention that my son
was traveling with the Monsey bus on
motzei Shabbos to come back to Brooklyn
for the first night of slichos with my
rebbe. He immediately became upset at
me. "Yochanan!" That's how he pronounces
it. "Yochanan!
How do you have a son who's learning in
Monsey and you don't tell me? Make sure
you call me right after the Shabbos and
I'll drive you to the bus." I tried to
argue that it wasn't necessary and I was
going to Uber him to the bus stop but
Yossi wouldn't hear of it. Not only did
he go pick up my son from his yeshiva
but he sat with him in the car until the
bus came so he shouldn't have to wait by
the bus stop alone. Then he called me to
let me know that everything's okay and
if he ever needs anything in yeshiva to
let him know right away. When I told my
wife about this, she couldn't believe
it.
But I could. This is MDY. This is the
achdus, the chesed, the ahavas Yisrael
and the beautiful message that our group
with you at the helm spread throughout
Klal Yisrael. I'm very proud to go into
Rosh Hashanah being a part of this
wonderful group. Thank you Reb Eli and
every single member of the MDY team
for giving us all a chance to head
towards the Yomim Noraim with some extra
protexia. Having a kesiva v'chasima

It's almost Rosh Hashanah so if you kind
of committed to
learning for Avi, it's almost there.
But learn it no matter what.
Okay, we're holding by the Mishnah, the
first Mishnah on 9:10 am with beis
a little bit less than halfway down.
The official Mishnah is sponsored by the
MDY team no, by Moshe Horn. You forgot
to send it to me. By Moshi by Moshe.
Moshi Cohen,
zchus for
hatzlacha in parnassa?
In b'chol ha'inyanim.
Navla avodim ushvachas kanim. So, we're
talking again about nuchsin b'lo
the
different properties that shalom
aleichem. What's your name?
Shalom? From?
Lod? Over here? That's Yisrael? Like Ir
Hakodesh? Lod?
Shalom aleichem kimat wow wow. Where
where is the oilam from?
Kimat we have we have a lot of seats
here. We have a bunch of seats all the
way in the front.
Shalom aleichem my boys side.
Just starting here. Okay, so
huh?
Yeah, no no no.
They need gemaras. Give give them some
gemaras.
Okay, so the woman has nechasim the
nechasim the principal belongs to the
wife the peiros
the produce that comes off the nechasim
goes to the husband.
What about slaves? So, you have a slave
slave produces the actual slave is
Where are you guys from? What's going on
here? Came here from Yerushalayim?
Givat Ze'ev? Okay, that's pretty much
Yerushalayim. Shalom aleichem. You look
very familiar. What's your name?
Ah, Reb Chaim. Okay, shalom aleichem.
Wow. This is the first time in person
though, right?
No, I mean in here in sheer, yeah. Wow.
Rebbi in Tauber Das? What's that? Yeah.
Gevaldig. Wow.
Where is his son? Where's the bar
mitzvah bochur? You left him alone.
Very nice. So, these are your sons?
Two
Friends. Wow. Okay. Gevaldig. Okay, I
don't want to embarrass anybody here.
Shalom aleichem. You are
From Nachum Shteierman? From?
Paskesz Safra? Okay, a bunch of Israelis
here. Gevaldig.
Now we have an issue. You have
old slaves.
So, either the According to Rashi
According to Rashi, either the husband
or the wife
one of them is concerned that the slave
is going to drop dead
and there's not going to be any value
there. Either the wife is nervous she's
not going to have any principal left or
the husband is nervous he's not going to
have any peiros.
So, one of them could force the other
one to sell yimochru and what do you do
with the money? V'yachlu b'heim karka
v'ochlu peiros. You buy some fields with
it and the husband gets to enjoy the
peiros.
Reb Shimon ben Gamliel Omer l'eilekim
karka bifnei shem shevach b'eis aviha.
She could put her foot down even if the
husband is concerned that he's not going
to have peiros soon. She could say,
"Look,
I grew up with the slave
maid in South Africa. Maid. I grew up
with this person. I don't want to sell
this person. It's It's sentimental. It
It It gives honor to my father's family.
I don't want to sell him."
Same case almost. Navla zeisim u'fanim
skanim.
Trees that are on their last leg. Olive
trees that are old. Older vines.
Yimochru v'yachlu b'heim karka v'ochlu
peiros. Again, the wife says, "I don't
want to sell them." He says, "No, you
need to sell them or for carrot. He says
I don't want to sell. She says we got to
sell them. They're worth They're going
to be worthless next year.
So, you sell them and whatever profit
you have, you buy real estate, you buy
fields, and the payrolls go to the
husband, the principal remains the
wife's. Over here, it's not Reb Shimon
bar Yochai, it's Rebbi Yehudah. Rebbi
Yehudah jumps in and says same thing
that Reb Shimon bar Yochai said in the
Raya Mehemna, Rebbi Yehudah says that
the Shavua b'Shavua even the vines
the the vineyard has a certain
prestige for the father, for her house,
for the
for Mishpacha. Look, we own this famous
vineyard.
Sentimental, whatever you want to call
it. She could say no, I don't want to
sell. Amar Rav Kahana, Amar Rav.
So, the Gemara's Hava Amina was in in
the name of Rav. Machlokes b'Sadeh
she'eino shel lah.
If
it comes with a field, in other words,
this this ground and there's a tree that
grows there, and if there's no more
tree, at least she'll have a principal,
the field itself. So, you have a
machlokes. Avu Sadeh she'eino shel lah.
But when the she doesn't own the field
itself, she inherited a tree alone,
stand-alone tree. And once the tree is
gone, she has zero. Divrei Rav Kahana
l'eitim
Then
according to everybody, you sell it.
Mishum d'kacha yakirna, because the
there's not going to be any principal
left. Maskana Rebbi Yosi. Rebbi Yosi has
a bomb kasha.
Harei avoda d'Mishpacha. We have two
cases in the Mishna. We have a Mishna of
the the case of the tree and the case of
the slave. But a slave is a stand-alone
human being. He doesn't come with any
base. He doesn't come with a field. Once
he's gone, he's gone.
D'chishala she'eino shel lah dami
p'ligin. Yet, there's a machlokes even
in a stand-alone object. So, a
stand-alone tree should be the same
thing. It should be a machlokes even if
it doesn't come with any property.
Ela Eidna Amar so, yeah, you're right.
We have to say
You have to say it, bro. Ela Eidna Amar
Amar Rav Kahana, Amar Rav. Machlokes
b'Sadeh she'eino shel lah.
Okay, a little different. What Rav was
saying is there's a machlokes when
there's no field. Avu Sadeh she'eino
shel lah, but when she has a field, Reb
Kahana like Tim Kar.
Mipnei Shavua b'Shavua. Once she owns
the field, now you have the problem of
the sentimental value of the
the honor it gives the family. She could
put her foot down and say I don't want
to sell it.
Daily Gemara's sponsored official
Mishna, sponsored by Moshe Cohen.
Zchus d'sheya Parnasa b'Rav Kahana.
Great year.
Hamotzi hotza'os al nichsei ishto.
So again, nichsei milug.
The Does anybody recognize this tie, by
the way?
Nobody?
Bell Works. Bell Work No, it's It was
Yeah, this Bell Works and the day I was
on the same day. It was the hour before
I was on the Army Cover.
Cuz I didn't wear it in like 3 months.
Hamotzi hotza'os al nichsei ishto. Like
a woman can't wear the same big as
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hamotzi hotza'os What?
Yeah, I know. You you and that other guy
that framed it. Yeah. Hamotzi hotza'os
al nichsei ishto.
He gets nichsei milug. Now, he has to
work the field.
Hotzi harbei v'acha kima. He goes, he
buys a $400,000 tractor
thinking he's a big man, he's going to
buy. Now, he doesn't have to rent one,
he buys one. And then
he takes out like $10,000 worth of
fruit. Hotzi harbei v'acha kima. He
invests a lot in the field and he pulls
out very little fruit. Kima v'acha
harbei. Masha otzi otzi umasha achal
achal.
If
he has a tremendous hatzlacha, a lot a
lot of fruit. Like that video I saw
somebody, I think I mentioned in shiur,
this non-religious guy said he's never
seen anything like it. Without watering
the date trees, they pulled out
unbelievable produce, which he said it's
I don't know I don't know anything about
dates. He said that without water, they
usually don't they bunch of
This year, beautiful tasting dates.
So, he didn't invest even in water and
he was able to pull out all these dates.
What did that guy say? $15,000 per tree
or $5,000 a lot of a lot of money each
tree.
Pulls out a lot of dates or a lot of
fruit.
V'acha harbei masha otzi otzi umasha
achal achal. Doesn't matter how much he
invested, they have a deal. He gets all
the produce.
He just has to invest in it. It doesn't
matter how much he invests, he pulls
out. If he spent too much, it's his
problem. Too little, her problem. Umasha
achal achal.
Hotzi v'lo achal.
If
he pulled out
zero,
but he's able he put money into it.
Yishava kama hotzi v'eito. In that case,
he swears and he takes money from the
wife.
He gets paid back. B'kama kima. As long
as he eats a little bit,
he has to suffer the consequence. In
other words, he invested a million
dollars and took out $1, too bad. That's
it. He loses the million.
Amar Rav Asi, "Afilu grigeres achas."
Even one
dried fig.
V'hu sh'achal d'erach kaved.
As long as he eats it relaxed, at a
table, sitting down, slowly, normally,
that's the shiur.
So,
just because it's Rosh Hashanah,
the
Avi and Hillel, they're telling me they
once went on a cruise
and
the price was very good. It was like
literally like $500 a person. For but
it's unbelievable, all the food. But the
way they get you is
on drinks. Anytime you want a drink,
they get you. And there's other things
that they get you on. They're They're
They They know They know what they're
doing. First, they get you in, they lure
you in. Then they get you on drinks.
If
This is Rebbi Yisrael Salanter. This
world, if you
take a drink, you you have gashmius. You
have a little bit extra than you need,
the loss is tremendous. The hefsed is
It's like this Mishna. You have
if you take a little bit, a little bit,
you lose everything. I don't know if you
lose everything. Rebbi Yisrael Salanter
d'vein l'goyim speaks about it.
It benefiting
in this world, using hana'a in this
world, you lose a lot of your Olam Haba.
Unless Unless
you work on the cruise ship. If you work
on the cruise ship, then you're you're
part of the cruise ship. So, then you
take drinks, you eat, you do whatever
you want, it's all free.
You have to work on the cruise ship. If
you're just a
a guest on the cruise ship, then they
they get you real good.
So, the moshel is
that if you work on the cruise ship, you
come to this world and you bring more
people to Torah and your your focus is
serving Hakadosh Baruch Hu, then the
hana'as, then even the the gashmius is
free.
They don't get you on the gashmius. But
if you're just a guest here, you don't
you have nothing to do with anything.
You're not You're not involved in Torah,
you're not involved in getting other
people to Torah, you're not Reb Felder
Barber, whatever. He said, "Ah, you had
that steak. You didn't have to have it."
They charge you big time.
Says the Gemara, Amar Rebbi Abba, Amar
Rebbi Rav. Says in the name of Rav.
Afilu shigra d'tamarim. I think it's as
you all know, Rebbi Nachman of Breslov.
Right here, right before everything is
as you all know, Rebbi Nachman
Right before Rosh Hashanah, bringing
talking about the dates. And of course,
I've been on a on a mission now to to
help the Olam.
Who's Mendy is all upset. Why why am I
talking about the the pomegranate? Why
not? They have to know. Cuz when I lived
in America, I have to show you this.
Shigra d'dikla is this thing right over
here. You see this
date cake.
That's even It's a It's a cheap kind of
I guess it's the the leftover dates,
whatever.
But I need to tell the Olam that when I
lived in America,
I hated dates. I never liked a date
until I found the dates in Eretz
Yisrael. They have them all over the
world, but I guess So, I
This is a community service
announcement. Here. These are the types
of dates.
You want to go with the one on the left.
What are you laughing? The one on the
left, the Medjool. You got to look for
Medjool. If you eat that, it's like
candy. You're going to You're not
Even not on Rosh Hashanah, you need it.
You know what? It's not like the head of
the fish. They put in your mouth and you
This is the real deal.
So, I think in America, they go with the
Ajwa. I don't know what they're doing
here. It's like other stuff. Look Do
they sell Medjool in America? I'm sure
they do.
But on Rosh Hashanah, that's not what
the Olam buys, right? They buy the the
the shvach's stuff. What? Those who
know. Now, MDY knows. All the Olam in
MDY is nice, juicy some of Here, they
sell it in the refrigerator. It has to
be refrigerated. It's all things. Okay.
Just thought I would let the Olam know.
Yeah, you have to make a bracha on it
first cuz it's one of the shiv'as
haminim.
Another thing that I got very into
pomegranate here in Eretz Yisrael, I
don't know. Also, it was not not as good
as I thought there. Okay, they have good
fruit here. What?
That before pomegranate cuz it's on the
top of the list of the thing. Wow.
Nice. Nice.
Also, I need to show you this lashon in
Rashi here. Very interesting. I like I
like these interesting lashonus. Rashi,
like I don't know, eight lines down, he
says, "V'girsa shotim hizu." I just
thought it was interesting. Nothing
special. I mean, just an interesting
lashon. It's the girsa of idiots. Okay,
great.
Let's go weiter.
What? What did you say?
I don't know. It's
Boi Rav Bibi.
Chutz d'tamarim mai? If somebody made
beer out of dates
and and pressed it and pre- Nothing
left. What do you have? A bunch of skin
and not came out nothing.
Is that something
that if the husband eats, he loses a his
million dollars?
Take all.
What if he ate a bunch of dates?
And he was really hurried. He was
stuffing them down his mouth. He was not
He was not enjoying himself. He was not
by the table like like Rashi explained
that it's be nice by the table.
Stop. What are you looking up over
there?
On the Majew?
On the gifts of Shaitan. Reb boys, you
know I I mentioned Shlaffer Shamshi
Shlaffer a number of times. Here he is.
He's Shlaffer as he comes. Shamshi
Shlaffer
comes to talk to him.
[Applause]
Loya he's looking up stuff for us. Okay.
Loya Kol Yisrael So, what's the sheer?
How many of these dates? So, he's he's
running around but he stuffed his mouth
with 25 dates. Isn't that worth like one
date be sure about that by table?
The size of Isor 1/24 of a dinar.
He didn't know. It's a big machlokes. 24
times the amount of the first mandola.
Okay. But there is a certain sheer that
you eat and if you eat that sheer, then
the husband is liable for everything. He
doesn't get paid back.
I mean that you only put the dates of
Rebbi Huda
the Ismeros. I thought I should have
taken a picture. I had a picture but I
forgot that on Shabbos when I was
learning it.
What animal eats vines? Only only one
Only I I only know of one animal, an
elephant.
What animal eats branches? Most what?
Giraffe, right now. No, they eat leaves.
I think.
I'm not a big mumcha but little I have
seen they eat leaves.
Anyway,
Rashi says pill.
So, what if he didn't eat dates? He
didn't have his own benefit but he gave
the benefit to his animal. He took
vines. He took branches off the trees
and gave it to the animal. Says Rebbi
Huda, that's enough to make the husband
like he invested a million dollars.
The guy didn't go to that field. I mean
he doesn't know. And he decided, "Okay,
I'll take six seven branches give it to
my elephant."
That's it. He doesn't get his million
dollars back. Had he not given the
elephant any branches, he would have He
would have recouped his million dollars.
Rebbi Huda Omer Rebbi Huda Omer Omer
If
we're talking about chazaka here. The
famous chazaka shali shanim. If you sit
in somebody's field and you eat the
crop, you eat the apples off the tree
and you're there for three seasons,
three years, it becomes yours. What if
the first three years that he's in the
field, it's arla? He's not allowed to
eat the tree. So, instead of eating the
tree, he took branches off the tree and
he gave it to his elephant.
That's enough. That shows that he owns
the field. So, no one can come after him
and say, "Hey, I was quiet because all
you did was you used branches and I'm
not No, branches is chazaka.
What about shvi'is? Reb boys, I hear You
hear what's going on here? Shvi'is.
We're literally on the last day of
shmita. Last day of shmita, here we go.
Shvi'is. I want to remind all of them to
write a pruzbul.
Write a pruzbul. The
The first minyan wrote a pruzbul on
Friday. The second minyan
is going to write one tomorrow. It's
better to write tomorrow. It's close to
close to Rosh Hashanah. I also want to
point out that there's a the inyan
to lend a pruta. Give somebody a shekel.
Give somebody a dollar and say, "Here.
Here." I was going to lend you 50
shekels. I'll do it tomorrow.
Do it tomorrow and if he doesn't get it
if he doesn't take it back from me, he's
mekayem the mitzvah of shmita's ktsafan.
It's a mitzvah derabbanan
to let shmita come. So, now because we
do a pruzbul and we're not doing that
mitzvah, so there's a inyan to give
[Music]
Does anybody else want to be mekayem the
mitzvah with me now?
Because over there, you never know if
she'll take you back. Most likely, I
know if I was mekayem my wife, she'll
say, "Adios."
It's a I don't know. Try it.
Let me know how it went for you.
[Laughter]
Yeah.
Ishkayach. I mean I I
I I wish I had my wallet on me, Avi. I
would do it with you but I just
Okay. Anyway,
there's such an inyan.
So, again, shmita,
why does shmita not work? If one of the
Obviously, shmita is not three years.
Chazaka is for three years. One of the
three years is shmita.
I come into the field and I start eating
apples off the tree, it means nothing
cuz the whole world comes in there and
eats apples.
But if I come in there and I start
grabbing branches off the tree, that
shows it's mine cuz nobody's allowed to
touch the branches.
Here in Eretz Yisrael, I don't know if
you have this coming here. You go into a
pardes, you go anywhere you want. You
take a strawberry right off the tree.
Big signs there. Say, "Please don't ruin
our trees." You have to be careful.
People come and they start twisting the
strawberry right off the tree. They
don't come with a snipper. Ruin the
guy's tree. They work all year long to
make sure that everything's perfect and
the thorns and the this literally all
year and then the people come in there
and they don't They ignore the signs.
With the signs, they're schlepping and
ripping. It's marvelous. Unbelievable.
But
you're not allowed to take the branches.
You're allowed to take the fruit.
I Moishe Shaya, today I knocked on my
neighbor's door. Luckily, she didn't
open up. I want to I said I came to her
I wanted to say I'm going to I'm going
to ask her. Hopefully, her husband It
says on
When you walk into my building, there's
she has a She lives on the first floor
and then she put up a sign.
And it says like this, "All the cows are
hefker." Cuz she forgot to put a yud in
there. So, it says, "All the paros are
hefker." I wanted to ask her if I could
take one of her cows.
What do you mean a cow? Like it says
cow. Oh, you mean Okay. Whatever. Baruch
Hashem she didn't open up the door. No,
seriously, I'm I'm going to knock. I'm
still going to do it.
All right.
So,
again, so take using the wood is a
chazaka.
You climb. Climb means if you have a
vineyard and you plant according to
everybody, if you plant wheat, some say
even other vegetables, you plant wheat
in your vineyard, the fruit is also The
grapes are also by not.
But if he uses He's not allowed to use
the grapes. He uses the vines
themselves, that's a chazaka. I raise a
chazaka.
Uh So, according to Rebbi Huda, that
using the the the wood creates a
chazaka. So, it also creates
a usage of the field. If the husband
uses wood and gives it to his elephant
or whatever he does with it, then that's
it. He had enough from from the field
and any expense that he had is too bad
on him. Doesn't get it back.
How much you want to say Ishte Ketana?
What if he married
a minor because her mother married her
off and it's only derabbanan. We
explained this a thousand times in the
last year. She
Chacham didn't want her to be hefker.
So, they gave the mother right. Even
though by derabbanan it's not a good
marriage, they gave the mother right and
she can do me'un.
So, he goes and he starts working the
field.
Chacham said that everything All his
expenses are paid for. It's like
kimotzei on acher dami. Now, we have to
just explain this halacha quickly
because we're going to be touching this
halacha. If somebody goes into somebody
else's field and works the field
without permission even.
And this happens. I'll give you a
moshol.
I think it was a maiseh shaya or even if
not, it's very A guy orders an air
conditioner.
He says, "I live on the first floor.
I'm putting the key under the mat."
The air conditioner
guy comes
and he picks up the mat. He finds a key.
Goes into the house. Installs the air
conditioner.
The guy calls him up in the evening. He
says, "Nu, when are you going to come
for the air conditioner?" He says, "I
installed it." He says, "No, you
didn't." Turns out that the guy picked
up the wrong mat. He picked up the mat
of the neighbor.
And he installed the air conditioner for
the neighbor. Now what? Who? Does the
neighbor have to pay for the air
conditioner?
What?
That's what we're talking about. Your
issue is.
So, it depends.
If it's normal to put an air conditioner
and this is what he was about to do, so
he gets He has to pay for the whatever
is normal. But if not, then he only pays
for the expense.
So, in this case,
if this Ketana's field was ready to be
planted and worked, so he would get like
an artist. He would get whatever the the
going rate is, a third of all the
profits. If not,
all he gets is
the hourly rate whatever he worked for
20 hours. He gets $100 in Eretz Yisrael.
So, this
guy, he's married to a Ketana.
You don't say, "Oh, well, he
he ate. He No. It's a little different.
Why? May timer? Avdu Rebanta Kanto do
loy in Eretz Yisrael. We don't want the
husband this guy to be concerned that
any minute his daughter his wife, this
Ketana, is going to divorce him, do
me'un to him, send him back home.
So, he's going to he's going to ruin the
field.
So, we don't have to ruin the field. We
say, "Listen, you're going to get paid
back nicely. Just do it."
I heard said the nafka amina Zuzay
bechazai. You're going to love this
story.
There's a woman who they sent her a
telegram. Some shliach said, "Listen,
your father Bad news and good news. Your
father died. The good news is he left
you 400 zuz."
Shmak. Okay, how do I get it?
She's married to one of the biggest
chachamim of the generation.
Ozel gaver. Ozel goes. Apik shish me'ah.
He spent 600 zuz in order to pick up her
400 zuz.
Okay?
I see arba me'ah. Listen, he's not such
a big shaita. This Half the people that
live in New York,
they're the same shaitans. They drive
all all to New Jersey so they can fill
up a little gas, and it cost them $45 to
get there and 2 hours of their drive,
and they come back and they forgot that
they they already had, you know, 3/4 of
the thing was full anyway. He gets a lot
of shidduchim like that.
Or the famous maiseh of
the This This is a you know, it's a
fictional story, but the Around the
World in 80 Days, that one's familiar.
The guy made a bet that he's going to go
around the world. It's a
old old story, 150 years old. He's going
to go around the world and the bet is he
could do it in 80 days.
And uh and if he wins, he'll get 20,000
lb. At the end, it cost him like 50,000
lb to go around the world, and he missed
it by 1 day, something like that. Okay,
anyway.
A lot of shidduchim.
Huh? Yeah, yeah, it's because of the
date line. If he'd gone the other way,
he would have made it, but because he
missed the day, he went this way and the
the Huh?
No, according to the maiseh, I think he
got married. He found a wife.
But he didn't get it. I don't know.
Okay. I ain't chum.
It cost him more.
Zog ding him more.
Um I see Arba Mao.
He brings back the 400.
Now he has a box of 400 with him.
Again, 400 usually a good maiseh means a
lot of money. By the the ka'asi, it
Poor guy, he wasted all his money on the
trip. Now he has zero. But he has a box
of her money. She goes into the box and
takes one zuz out of the 400 and uses it
for Uber.
Also, he made the Rebbi Now he comes to
Rebbi.
You know what? Tough luck.
Because you took one zuz out of her
money, that means you benefited like
like using some sticks, some some
branches. That's it. Now you lost
everything. Had you not touched that box
on the way back, we would have paid for
your expenses.
But you didn't You took You used one
zuz. Too bad on you. They got divorced,
obviously. And now they're coming to
He wants to get paid up.
I'm Rebbi Rebbi Rebbi
No, you made a mistake a little bit.
This is The story is slightly different.
Had he he had gone payra.
That's if the husband dipped in to the
produce.
Ha, kind of but over here he's dipping
in, he's taking from
He's taking from the principal.
The kind of ha.
Like I told you.
Okay?
Okay, how do we do
So this is a guy that spent a lot of
money and didn't eat.
He swears how much he
he spent and he gets his money back. Let
me ask the
a shaila. How much money does he get
back?
Do anybody know how much money does he
get back? He spent 600.
How much money does he get back? Anybody
know?
400. 400, very nice. Close. Who says
anybody else?
600. Anybody? Anybody else? There's
another number.
399, very good.
399. He gets only up to the amount,
which is 400, but he already took out
one. Such a question. He took one, so
now it's 399. Very good.
Over here the Again, it's Rosh Hashanah,
so we have to say the famous famous
maiseh of the Chofetz Chaim.
It's like there's a guy
that all the kids Every Everybody was
talking about this guy. They called him
a shaita, like Rashi says, shaita.
He said, "Why is he a shaita?" Because
he went all the way from I don't I
remember Pishaburg, whatever the the
place was. He went from Radin all the
way to Vilna to get a shmek tabak. You
know what a shmek tabak is, right?
You know, I tell everybody I Just in
case you don't know, it's this thing
right over here. Everybody, you know,
the plastic one. They don't even do it
in silver here.
He said, "A little snuff. For one snuff,
he went all the way to Radin." So the
Chofetz Chaim said, "All the way to
Vilna and back." Chofetz Chaim said,
"You know what? We're the same thing. We
come all the way from up there. It's a
very very long trip. And what do we come
down here for? A shmek tabak. Mamish,
for a few bucks to make a million
dollars.
For nothing. If you come here, if you
you go on a trip and you you
you matzliach, you bring back real
s'chora, great.
That's what happened over here. This guy
went all the way over there only to
spend more money than he came for.
Shmek tabak. That's the guy.
Torah is the best Torah.
You shall become come out to eat all. In
the Mishnah it says he should swear how
much he spent.
And by
Based on the it'll take
from the wife.
So Rebbi says
a line that we have to understand what
he means. It depends if there's more
There's more profit or equal profit to
this to the expense.
This could go against the husband and it
could go for the husband. So we have a
what it is.
Let's say
the the profit was more than the
expenses. Not so
This is good for the husband. The
husband doesn't have to swear if
the profit is more than the expense.
It makes no sense what you're saying.
Let's say
the
profit
is
$1,000.
And the expense
was $50. So you know what he's going to
say? He's going to say the expenses were
$999.
His wife. He'll go all the way up to the
profit minus a little bit, and then he's
going to collect the $999 without a
shaila.
That's not fair.
This
goes against the husband.
So you say you say shaila.
So you say you say
if his expenses were more than the
profit, then he can only go like in our
case with the guy that spent 600, he
only gets 400. The expense The expense
is much as
the profit and no more, and he has to
swear.
Says the Rebbi. The recent after Mao.
The husband is like a sharecropper in
the field. Instead of him doing the
work, he decided, you know what, let me
hire outside service.
And the husband ate a little bit. We
must say that he ate a little bit.
When he eats a little bit, what happens?
Now there's no It doesn't matter how
much you spend, he doesn't get anything
back. It's a loss.
So the question is
after the sharecroppers go into the
field based on him
So
if the husband gets zero, they get zero.
I do more I do
No, they didn't go in
with the of the husband. They went in
for the field to work the field.
They came in to come in. So they should
get paid like a regular sharecropper.
They should get paid a third. Either
zero or third.
Do we go based on the husband? The
husband brought them in there? Or do we
go based on the field?
By By Rebbi Chona, my shaila is they
have
The the case of a person going into
somebody else's field installing an air
conditioner without permission.
Yeah? So we we see how much
the whole thing is, and then we give him
the least of the two. We give him
the
the expenses or the the the profit of
the field. Whatever's less.
So the Rebbi No, it's worse than the
case of me going into somebody else's
field. The artist who goes and works the
wife's field is worse than a regular guy
that goes into somebody else's field.
Why? Because she could say, "I have a
husband.
My husband will do for free.
If my husband eats one date, that's it,
I don't pay him at all. So who asked you
to come into my field and work the field
and have to pay you a third of the of
all the profits? I have a guy that's
going to do it for free."
My What's the What's the
If he's a good farmer,
if he's a good farmer, so he'd probably
work the field.
The the
If he's a good farmer, he could work it.
So they come instead of him, and she
can't and she has a good
She says, "Listen, I have a good farmer
husband. But if he is I don't know, he's
in
He doesn't know anything about farms. He
So
Then the field is set up to be
worked on by a typical sharecropper. So
let her pay the
the going wage of a sharecropper.
Yeah, it's it's ready. She wants it to
be worked. In the case if she doesn't
want it to be worked or she wants
something else planted there, then they
only get
the expenses. But if she wants to be
worked and they planted what she wanted
to be worked, she has to pay like a
regular going
wage. He by you.
Very
interesting shaila. The husband, as we
said, he gets all the produce. The the
wife, she gets to keep the principal.
Goes to
makes a great deal. He's going to sell
the karka
a 40-year lease. He wants all the money
up front.
It's a great deal.
Could he do that? Since he owns all the
produce of this field until he gets
divorced, he sells it right now.
Me I mean on my Connie acne, whatever he
owns, he gave over, he sold. I deal
Why did
say that the husband gets to the produce
even though he doesn't own the field,
it's hers.
In order that
he brings in money on a on a consistent
basis. I was a bundle of yes, you're
right. Now you made a million dollars.
But you know what happens with a million
dollars? You know what the people when
they when they win the lottery, they
don't have consistent
income.
She doesn't want that. She wants every
month she wants money coming in every
month. She doesn't want a big giant sum
in one shot.
So,
we see here until now we were talking
about why does the husband get pay rise?
What do we say? The home is after.
Because he's responsible if she gets
kidnapped and he has to
He has to pay the ransom. Oh, wait, we
see another Swara. Second Swara.
She wants
her not in the house. She's willing that
he gets to eat because he's going to
work the field. She's going to bring in
a consistent salary.
In honor of Yankee Bell and my show horn
that's all
in honor of my uncle Pressman and as a
for a year filled with
all
and whatever. Ah.
And as a I thought it was a
for Pressman. Now he I think he wants
his mom learning it differently. It's
his own maybe. Yeah, whatever.
Everyone. Everyone. A good everybody. I
don't know if anybody's going to be here
tomorrow.
If they are, great. If not, I should
mention I need to ask for a lot. For
what you shall coming late, wasting your
time,
insulting people,
getting on your nerves, whatever it is.
What?
Are you Michael?
Gary, you Michael? Especially you, I
have to ask you Michael. There's a bunch
of people in here. Where's David Feiner?
Feinberg? What's his name? Not
remembering his name.
I ask you Michael for that.
Okay, be Michael please.
Michael. Michael.
I have a story that I was debating if I
should say because it makes me look
really bad. Maybe
you remind me tomorrow, maybe I'll say
it.
I don't know.
Yeah, okay. It's it's a long story
tonight. We'll say it a different time.
Rap over with me the rebel.
I'm still debating. Rap over makes me
feel it's very vulnerable. Rap over with
me the rebel.
Sorry, I skipped. You were the
I'm over all my martial arts also two
lines down. If doesn't goes and sells,
great. If he sells all his pay rise for
all the years, it works. Rap over with
me the rebel. Loyal club. So we have a
No, you can't do it. One year at a time.
One crap at a time. Over with Rap over.
How do you do with me the rebel?
It's my Says Rap over you should know.
Cuz
Rap over with me the rebel. Over with
Rap over. How do you do with me the
rebel? Right. So Rap over is arguing. He
says I heard from Rap over. You do with
me the rebel who says in the name of Rap
over, I'm telling you says Rap over, he
didn't hear from his mouth.
Who's a He heard a story and he's being
from that story. It's not fair. I heard
from Rap over's mouth.
The what?
I
love Layla
over.
This by the way, I despise this guy. I
hope he's not a
something. I I I really don't like this
story.
There's a guy who his wife brings in two
slaves into the marriage. Also
not so good. So,
first
not such a nice thing that he did. He
goes ahead and he marries another woman.
In addition to that, this is tough. I
love
He takes the slave that his first wife
gave him, he gives it as a gift to the
second wife. You imagine?
Gosh, this wife is she's furious. So
what does she do?
So they come in the rebel. So they ask
him a lot.
She screamed.
Didn't pay any attention to her.
Okay.
Cuz you know, you stop screaming when
you dive in and you scream it doesn't do
it. You have to have when you scream,
right? You have to have You have to know
what you're talking about. Man the
silver.
So those who saw it
Oh,
that's why you wouldn't mind my
He thought maybe that's what he thought.
He saw Rap over saying no, get out of
here because the husband is the right.
He could go ahead and sell
as he pleases.
That's not what happened.
The whole point is that we want that Why
could the husband share in the in the
produce? Because we want a consistent
salary. We want something good for the
house. The whole
Yes, you're right that he took the slave
and he gave it to to the second wife
which was not such a nice thing, but
that slave is still going to produce for
the house. At the end of the day, they
live in the same house. And yes, she's a
private slave to that woman, but she
also makes breakfast for everybody and
she does the laundry and this and that.
So it's good for the house.
The
martial arts pay rise. Loyal club. The
law is that if the husband goes and
takes the the the field and he sells the
the produce only the produce of the
field forever, it's garnished. My time I
buy all my
taxes. We're concerned that And Rashi
says something very interesting. You
know, the field fields have nutrients.
And even today, in order when you when
you grow crap today, you
What's the word? You
you use up the the nutrients the
nutrients in the ground. So what they do
is today, they they use fertilizer and
stuff like that. Rashi talks about
fertilizer. If you don't fertilize the
ground, you could you could deplete all
the nutrients.
I don't know how it works and if it's a
everlasting problem, maybe you could
just throw It seems like you're ruining
the field. You would think that you
know, it's just ground. What? No, you
could ruin it. And if it's not yours,
you don't care about it. That guy that
that bought the produce, he doesn't care
about my field. He's just going to take
whatever produce he has and he's going
to ruin my field and I could put my foot
down. Rap over
with me the rebel.
The reason why you can't sell off the
produce forever is because you're not
bringing consistent salary. My According
to the book, she does You can't do it.
It's not a good
But what's the What's the
If it's very close to the city, so the
wife could keep a good eye on it see if
the guy is
fertilizing it or not.
Make sure that he fertilizes it.
If the husband her husband,
he sells off all the produce. They do
that a lot. You know, you sell a
business, but you work in the business.
You make sure you know, they they keep
you on for a little bit. So they they're
keeping him on to be the artist. He'll
make sure that they don't destroy the
field cuz it's not good for him. Cuz at
the end of the day, if the wife dies, he
gets to keep the whole field. He want He
wants to make sure the field is good. In
a minute, he
made a lot of cash because he's going to
do business with it. So it's good for If
she sells it for millions of dollars and
he's able to bring in a steady income,
that's also good for her.
The official mission is sponsored by
Mosha Cohen.
You should have a great good year in
everything. Says the mission.
So why not?
Go back to the famous case here. We have
Reuben who's married to Rachel and
Reuben has a brother called Shimon.
And Reuben was not here ever on Shabbos.
So he always saw this thing on Shabbos.
He does one of these. He goes sideways.
So Rachel
falls liable.
Falls liable.
But he wasn't liable for yet. He's
deciding.
She's a good girl. She's a good girl.
The American is not such a good girl.
So he's debating. He's debating. The
mice She she has fish and chicken so
whatever. So either he does
but in between period there's a bond.
There's a bond.
Is that bond like a marriage? Like a cuz
we had a whole mission before. If they
Remember the four cases that the missed
by one day. The four cases does that
Is it like Are they engaged? Not
engaged? What's going on? So that was in
in we learned that it's not There's a
little bit of a bond not so much.
Nothing
to do with As she's waiting in the wings
to for Shimon to make up his mind, she
she inherits a ton of money. She's
not considered engaged. She has no
connection to Shimon really right now.
So she go and sell whatever she wants.
What if she
dies? My big so. So very interesting.
Rashi points out that the word over here
up till now we're learning What does
mean? means the actual 200 whatever is
in the
plus all the additions. Not here. Over
here it means that also, but it also
means metal sheep.
You see? Metal sheep. What does that
mean? That when she brings things in, he
takes a price for it. Whatever the price
is. The nursing home as they get
married, that's what he's going to pay
her back 30 years later. You buy a
nursing home in the 70s, it cost 10 and
a half thousand dollars. In 2022, when
they get divorced, he gives her 10 and a
half thousand dollars on a 300 million
dollar building. That's how it works.
There's insurance. It's a guarantee. And
it's called because it's in the You
write it down in
versus
We're talking about the whole time
We're going to mention in a second.
That's something that he doesn't take
any
But he gets to use the pay rise. This
say the embaraza more like his.
Says the Mishnah. So if she dies
My husband what should we do with the
same embaraza? What should we do with
the whole ketubah? We'll be husband and
husband and Yisroel and the below.
The husband will come in to the marriage
go out when she gets divorced.
Yachliku. Yoresh haba'al
for this you also need Rashi because it
mentions a bunch of things in the
Mishnah. Mentions same embaraza, the
ketubah itself, the tosefes ketubah, and
nischasim below.
All those things said Rashi would be
Shammai say Yachliku he's only talking
about one thing only and that's
nischasim below. Okay, just write it
down in your Gemara if you can. Yachliku
only on the below not on the rest of the
stuff in the Mishnah.
Yachliku yoresh haba'al in yoresh av.
Also interesting loshon. Yoresh haba'al
means who?
Who's the yoresh of the husband?
Her husband, her late husband who died.
Who's the yoresh of him? The yavam.
Yoresh haba'al equals yavam.
In yoresh av
It should really say in yoresh ha'isha
but it means the father of the wife.
Okay, it's an interesting loshon there
just mess with us a little bit. Yoresh
haba'al yoresh av. So there's a
Right? There's two families fighting for
for for what's going on here. The the
family of the husband, the late husband
they want everything and the family of
the wife want everything so they do
yachliku
on the nischasim below. We say the
husband says kasam.
Which one?
The husband over here
Now we're doing a little bit of a
switch. Why not?
The husband is referring to same
embaraza.
Ketubah first to nischasim below. So
over here the husband is same embaraza.
B'chas kasam. What does b'chas kasam
mean?
So b'chas kasam means Rashi brings that
it's a machlokes. That's why it doesn't
mention in the Mishnah exactly what it
is. It's in the chazaka of where it
could be.
And in fact the Shulchan Aruch paskens
in this that's a machlokes. And you do
yachliku, sorry. You do yachliku because
of machlokes and we don't know what to
do. We do yachliku. So b'chas kasam
actually means yachliku according to the
Shulchan Aruch.
Again, the husband kasam doesn't mention
is it the ba'al or I think that's that's
why you say that the word kasam means
it's a safek and you do yachliku.
Uksubah, now we're talking about the
real ketubah. B'chas yoresh haba'al.
That goes to
the husband's side because he's holding
onto the money. Nischasim and nischasim
Yisroel, the nischasim below b'chas
yoresh av. That goes to the wife's side
because that came from the wife's family
so it goes back to the wife's home.
In achiv meis,
achiv meis, if the brother who died left
cash, you look at karka v'ocheil peiros.
You buy real estate and he, the yavam,
gets to eat the produce.
Peiros d'loshon karka what if it's not
cash? It's just fruit. You look at karka
we had this before, similar case. You
buy real estate with the fruit v'ocheil
peiros and he gets to benefit from the
produce. Have a good karka if it's
attached to the ground Omar Meir.
How much is a field that has let's say
the grain grew 1/3?
How much is worth without that grain
that's a third?
Kama yafin b'kama hein yafin b'lo
peiros. Omar Meir you look at karka
v'ocheil peiros. And whatever is left
over you buy the difference. With the
difference you buy real estate and you
eat the fruit.
Peiros
we're just going to do until the end of
the Mishnah and then we'll prepare for
tomorrow.
Chachamim say fruit that's attached to
the ground that's the husband's
completely. The yavam. Halushin min
karka if it's detached kol kodem zochah
whoever comes first. Kodemu zochah. The
yavam grabs it it says kodem hi.
Interesting. Again you need Rashi for
this. What does kodem hi mean? Did she
grab it? You'd never believe this. Rashi
says only when her husband, her first
husband was alive.
You look at karka v'ocheil peiros.
So you take it and you buy real estate.
Kontza. Once the yavam marries her so in
this case when Shimon decides to marry
this Yishmael lady
Harei he is like a daughter.
She's his wife and we had this in
Yevamos. She turns into a regular wife.
Meaning
what if he divorces her?
She's really a sister-in-law and you're
only allowed to marry sister-in-law in
one condition that the brother died
without children. So now he is mekain
the mitzvah of yibum. Then he divorces
her. Isn't he still a sister-in-law?
Isn't she still a sister-in-law? No.
Once he marries she turns into a regular
woman, a regular wife. He is mekain the
mitzvah of yibum.
Mekain the mitzvah of
The achiv takes ketubah ba'al rishon.
But the guarantee for the ketubah that
is on the first husband, her original
husband's belongings even though guess
who owns all his nischasim now? The
brother who does the yibum gets
all the yerusha from the brother. He
doesn't split it with the other
brothers.
But the guarantee
right?
So you have two brothers. You have
Reuven and Shimon. Reuven left a million
dollars.
So the ketubah of the yevama is on that
million dollars. Shimon is meyabem the
yevama. He gets all the million dollars.
Now he's married to her but he also has
a million dollars. Her ketubah
cannot be
uh paid off from his from Shimon's
million only from Reuven's million.
That's halacha. Well
if he doesn't have any money there's no
money left so then you go back to
Shimon. So we have to understand what
the difference is really.
This is a very interesting halacha.
The halacha is like this.
The million that let's say Bill Gates.
Bill Gates how much is he worth it I
don't know. 130 billion dollars let's
say.
He leaves over what's that chayes name?
Okay, we don't even want to say her
name. Melinda. Okay, Melinda. Melinda is
the yevama.
Bill Gates' brother
is meyabem the yevama.
Guess what? He can't touch the 130
billion dollars. Why? Unbelievable
halacha. Because he owes Melinda 3,000
dollars.
The whatever ketubah is. Let's say let's
call it 3,000 dollars. It's not to make
THE MORTGAGE MATTER. 20,000 DOLLARS. He
cannot touch the 130 billion dollars
because the 130 billion dollars is there
as a security to Melinda.
You hear what's going on here? 130
billion and 20,000. So what is he going
to do this guy? He's going to take
20,000 dollars cash and give it to her.
Here. Here's the ketubah. You know if we
ever get divorced here it is. No.
I don't want it. You're scaring me with
it. What you're saying you're going to
divorce me? No, I don't want it.
So he doesn't touch the So what's the
eitzah?
There's only one eitzah. Menachem has
eitzah.
You divorce her
and then you marry her back. That's it.
There's no other eitzah. He's stuck. He
wants He wants the 130. It's right there
in front of him.
Can't touch it.
Yeah.
She You got to be careful. What?
What?
Yeah, yeah, that's what we just
discussed a second ago.
Lo yomar lo achiv min achas al shulchan.
Hello.
All the money of the yavam is goes
towards the ketubah is there for
security.
He shouldn't tell his own wife achiv min
achas al shulchan. You know what? Don't
worry about it. Here's some cash. Let me
show you I'll put it inside. Al kol
achas min achas al shulchan. Everything
is there for the wife as well. Gersha
ein lo ela ketubah. So by this yevama
when he's megareish her
it's very interesting. She only has a
ketubah meaning the ketubah
is still when he takes her back is still
from the the original husband.
Chazira
nashim. When he takes her back she's
like a regular wife. Vein lo ela ketubah
she only gets the ketubah from the first
guy. Raboisai have a wonderful evening.
Have a wonderful that don't see you a
wonderful year.
