Daf Yomi Kiddushin Daf 15 by R’ Eli Stefansky

My voice I hear you go. Look at the excitement of my 16-month old daughter for the good morning of voice I it's a pearl in the daughter of the base. I let them enjoy that. Oh, was that good? We'll do it again. Why not? [Music] Susan Magidman First of all, I want to thank Rebbi First of all, I want to thank Rebbi for bringing me back to learning probably for the first time ever. I've been learning the daf with you for nearly a year now joining sukkas and dalid. Please see attached photo of us together when you visit Los Angeles. [Music] I finally got the gumption to send this email. It's a new word for the pun of gumption to send this email that has been sitting a draft for draft for 2 weeks on my phone now without Instagram. Meaning because of this year, I'm assuming. I was finally convinced to send the email after Rebbi's introduction with the shiur regarding the mission people on the message that when we have ideas, we should share them because maybe we can make a difference. Here is my idea. After noticing the positive effects of making a concerted effort to not speak during kaddish and answering with kavana, I think it would be nice to start another initiative during the midst of kedushah. Kedushah, and that is that we should make a concerted effort to have proper decorum during the chuppah ceremony when we attend a wedding. I often find that people, myself included, if I'm not making the effort of talking or on the phone or not paying attention during the speech time. Reb boysai, I Okay, so here it goes. First of all, this is not I have to say this is not on my top 20 list, but I used to be a caterer and it is a pet peeve. And I found and not to I don't want to make uh different It happens to be that by the more modern crowd no cannot nobody speaks during the chuppah. And I came to the conclusion it's not that the firm oilam doesn't care that much. It's just like for instance, this week in our shul alone, we have the seltzer wedding, the groom's wedding, and the ashken wedding. We just keep on going to weddings. It's like and and became we became desensitized, maybe. And not realizing that it's this couple's most special day their life and maybe the chuppah is the most special time of that special day. And here we are. I was at a chuppah in my place when I was a caterer and I was up there and all of a sudden in the middle of the chuppah, somebody's phone rang. And he's a nursing home owner and he couldn't care less about anything. He goes, "Hello." And the whole place and he has a conversation like, "What are you doing?" And then I some some shaita had the chutzpah to make his wedding on Super Bowl Sunday. During the chuppah, everybody's like, "Yeah." It's like, "Okay, it's a chuppah." NO, THEY WEREN'T. THEY "TOUCHDOWN." NO, THAT'S BUT OKAY. I'M NOT a rav. I'm not aware of the halachas, but I think we can do a better job of focusing attention and improving the decorum in those moments. What do you think? Sincerely, your talmid simcha man. Again, you know, when I'm not going to make a big deal out of it because there's many things before that, but it is interesting hora from meseches kiddushin. First of all, I want to thank Rebbi for the wonderful daily daf. I would like to offer as I'm a typography. How do you spell pronounce it? He does typing. Typography huh? Whatever. Not type Forget. Okay. I designed the layout for one of the biggest Jewish newspapers and I'm willing to help enhance MDY shiurim. So I made a new template for the pesukim to remember the shiurim in a readable professional layout. Please see attached. New proud daily participants that don't like the current version of the pesukim layout. The font is not readable. The timing adds the unclearness, the color strike, and there's no breathing space. I'm not here to critique. I just want to help. [Laughter] What are you doing? Please let me know. No, no, he's not. I No, no, no, seriously, I take I take these horas and I like them. If I'm going to show the oilam what he did and I think that he did something very special there. Let me know if you're interested in it. I would like to stay anonymous. The typography Whatever layout Here we go. Here's his new layout. It's You see the space? It's clear. There's no colors, no blues and greens. On the bottom, there's MDY. It says this daf. Do you like it? So we should go with this? Okay. Ben Zakai Zakan says ikuva means requirement. Well, here's a better one, I think. Shopsy Kohn says mandatory. And I think that was the word that I meant ikuva. It's a mandatory It's mandatory. No? You don't like either of them. Always, sometimes people come here, they sit next to me over here and you don't know exactly what you're getting. After shiur, this individual told me a unbelievable thing. You said yesterday. It turns out that Itzik Ben Shabbat flew in from London just to come to this year. He came at night, came to the shiur and immediately after shiur went back to the airport. I thought it was important to to point that out. Can't believe I'm the only guest that MDY had corner Sunday. I believe there are other guests, but I didn't like say hello to them, unfortunately. That's the first. Being at MDY headquarters truly was amazing experience traveling overnight from Delta Air. Yes, there's no such amazing experience close to compare cuz the Torah must have been so excited probably adrenaline. I also come back in the near future. Attached is a picture of myself. The kitzer Eli does overtake most people when it comes to height, especially with me. MDY member since kindness wishing you all MDY Israel sukkah Itzik Ben Shabbat. Ben Shabbat, sorry. Hi Rebbi. I saw the Here's another person that we didn't have who he was. Saw the attached video of Shimon Ber Stern coming to the shiur last week. This individual is tremendous undercover about chesed. He inspires a lot of people and friends to learn Torah. He called me the and another 20 He calls him and another 20 people every morning for the last 6 years to wake me up and come learn to have the zechiah to have him listen to your shiur. I know he tries to bring a lot of people to join your shiur. He doesn't even know that I learn with you, but I can say I'm the only yid in his zechus. He didn't give up on me for years and even though I didn't answer his calls for many years and finally opened the Gemara, my life is changing thanks for being such a good magid shiur. Anonymous from London. Here he Here's the young man that came here the other day. We didn't know who he was. Undercover tzaddik. Very good. If you sit over here, the rules are you got to be careful not to lean into the camera, otherwise that guy is going to start screaming in the middle of the shiur. Maybe it's before shiur. Thanks for being here. Where are you from? London. Very nice. And what's what's your name? Okay, so that that tzaddik. The kollel, what's going on with the sponsors? The daily sponsors No, no, I I thought maybe you forgot them. Kollel sponsor of the month, may we merit the crown of sham. Kollel of the day, Joshua Whistler l'ilui nishmat Myron Ben Yishai Zelig. The meseches sponsored by Lock and Load Moving Families Lakewood, New Jersey because Torah and achdus are the best segulah. The parnasah chodesh l'ilui nishmat Chaim ben Soisa.

Yosef ben Yosef ben Chaim Sarof for the zechus in the coming from supporting limud Torah. Reb boysai, we are on yud dalid amud beis towards the bottom. And just to do a uh recap of what we learned yesterday. So we started the sugiyah of eved ivri, a Jewish slave. And there's two types of eved ivris. One is a one that sells himself because let's say he doesn't have the money and needs the money. The other one is a eved ivri that's sold by besdin. What's going on here? What picture is this, Gary? It's a na'ah ma'aseh. Okay. An eved that the besdin sells him because he stole. And he didn't have money to pay back, so they sell him. And each one needs its own pesukim, its own limudim. They're very different. So the Gemara says, "How do you know that a eved that sold himself, you could buy him with money?" So the Gemara says, "We learned this gezeirah shavah of sachir sachir." It says by a eved that a besdin sold, it says sachir. It says also sachir by when he sells himself. Just like when besdin sell him, they sell him for money. So too, when he sells himself, they sell him for money. Reb boysai, today's sugiyah is about that there was a mention yesterday there is a man de omer that doesn't hold of this sachir sachir. That's today's sugiyah. Who is this man de omer? And we try really hard. We go through this and we go through that and we're not going to end up with a good one. We can't find him. The Gemara says, "According to the man de omer that doesn't learn this, so how do you know that if you sell yourself, you could sell yourself for money?" So the chiyuv saseg, it's a special limud. But who is this man the omer? [Music] So, then the Gemara says, "Well, maybe we're middle of this part. Maybe it's this man the omer machlokes Tanna Kamma and Rebbe Elazar." There's a big difference, says the Tanna Kamma, between mocher atzmo and machur Beis Din. A list of four things. A mocher atzmo could sell himself for more than 60 years. He sells himself. He makes a deal with the master, "I want to be sold for 7 years. I want to be sold for 20 years." Machur Beis Din, they're limited to only 6 years. Mocher atzmo cannot do retzi'ah. He can't say, "Oh, poke my ear and I want to stay now all the way to to yovel." It only works by machur Beis Din. Mocher atzmo, you don't give him gifts when he leaves. You're not mechuyav to give him gifts. If Beis Din sells him, you're mechuyav to give him gifts. How much? We're going to have a whole sugia. 15, 30, 50. You have to give him a nice tip. Mocher atzmo, he sells himself, he's not allowed to marry the shifcha kena'anis, the non-Jewish slave. Machur Beis Din could. So, the Gemara wanted to say that this difference Rebbe Elazar says, "No, it's all the same. It's one halacha. Mocher atzmo and machur Beis Din all have the same. They You could You could get a shifcha. You have to do a hana'ah, etc. It's all the same." So, the Gemara wanted to say, "Maybe it's a question do you learn socher socher? You're learning one from the other. So, there's no difference. Once you learn socher socher, then there's no difference between mocher atzmo and machur Beis Din." And the Tanna Kamma says, "We don't learn socher socher." So, here's a man the omer that says, "We don't learn socher socher." That's where we held yesterday. And we touched upon where the arrow is. Where it says, "No, everybody holds you do learn socher socher." And that's going to be the thing today. Oh, you see he doesn't learn socher socher? No, he does learn socher socher. So, why did Why does he say there's a difference between mocher atzmo and machur Beis Din? If you learn socher socher, it's zeh k'zeh shavah. It means that they're both equal. The one that sells himself The one that sells himself They're equal. No, there's a special pasuk that says that this doesn't happen. So, we had yesterday a special pasuk that says you could sell a mocher atzmo for more than 6 years. And now we're moving on to the next thing on the list. [Music] If he holds of socher socher, the Tanna Kamma, so why does he make a distinction when it comes to retzi'ah? Okay. And why does he make a distinction with an eken and shifcha? Oh, says the Gemara like this. My time in the Tanna Kamma four lines from the bottom of the Yud Daled Amud Beis. That's the whole sugia. My time in the Tanna Kamma the omer mocher atzmo ein enirtza. Why does the Tanna Kamma say that if he sells himself, there is no retzi'ah, you can't make a hole in his ear? Midei me rachmana gam bei machur Beis Din verotza ad deino v'ozno bemartze'a ozno shel lo velo ozno shel mocher atzmo. So, first of all, there's an addition to this animation. Here we go, my boys. Pay a lot of attention. It's kishmach. [Music] The volume. You need volume here. Ready? Here it goes. [Music] [Laughter] That's a Finally made it. FINALLY MADE IT. [Applause] WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU WERE SLEEPING ALREADY? IT WAS TOO LATE. SLEEPING. OKAY. SO, if you need to make noise, please come in. Avi. Just talking to Rebbe Avi. Today actually was quiet. [Music] Verotza ad deino v'ozno. So, I I just want to show you something that that's pointed out Rashi says here. Then you can turn off the volume. Shkoyach. Sleeping today. Verotza ad deino v'ozno. And Rashi says it says again venasachta bo'ozno badeles. This two oznoys We learn it from the yether says Rashi. There's a chiyuv also here. Okay. Oznoi, only he gets retzi'ah, this mocher Beis Din, but not if he sold himself. Top of the It's above them now. Now um Yossi is trying something new here for this sugia. What happens in these sugias? They're It's very very simple. I learn from oznoi. And what do you So, now what do you How do you learn it? You learn from here. Ve'idach ve'idach, it keeps on going back forth forth back and people lose they they They lose concentration. So, he made a little bit of a chart. If you want to follow the chart, great. Not Not, it's very very simple. Ve'idach a heyl l'gezeirah shavah d'osa. It's not extra. The word oznoi is not extra. Now you get Look, it comes in here. I should come in. Ah. What does he do with the word oznoi on the bottom left corner? He's going to learn that you have to do the retzi'ah on the right ear. So, the word oznoi is not extra from the side of Rebbe Elazar. I remember not only retzi'ah she bo'ozen yeminis. Ne'emar kan ozen v'ne'emar halon ozen. By the metzora. So, metzora is very interesting. Metzora is somebody that has an affliction on the skin and he goes through a whole very very long process. Probably the longest process in the Torah. He goes to the kohen, shows to the kohen, the kohen muchlat, not muchlat. Bekitzur, at the end of the process when he's a real metzora, he comes to the Beis Hamikdash with three korbanos. An asham, chatas, and olah. And that also has a whole process. And then basically he stands by the by the by the door over there. What's it called? The um Sha'ar Nikanor. Thank you. And they take some of the blood of the of the korban and they put it on his right ear and on his right thumb and his right big toe. So, it says over there ozen. And we know by metzora it's the right. Mal halon yamin afkan yamin. Now, just to to check this out for a second. This is also important. Because what happens is Meches to make such a connection between a metzora to eved. And the answer is cuz there's an extra pasuk over there. More than one pasuk. There's a whole a bunch of psukim that are completely extra. Why? Because the Torah says what to do. Velakam hayumanas. And then all of a sudden pasuk chof alef it says ve'im dal hu. And what if this metzora is very poor? Then you switch up the korbanos. You give He only has to bring instead of paying for three expensive korbanos, he pays one expensive one and two cheap ones. He gets two birds for the chatas and olah instead. That should have been the end of the parsha. Instead, the Torah keeps on going and explaining, "And take the blood and put it on his ear." You already said it. You said it about a guy that has money. So, why are you repeating the whole thing again by So, they're all extra. And since they're all extra, we learn from this that a eved also his ear when you do retzi'ah it should be the right ear. Mal halon yamin afkan yamin. Ve'idach Oh, ve'idach. Now we go back to the chart over here. How does he know that it has to be on the right ear? Im kein mikra ozen mi'oznoi. So, you see the Tanna Kamma uses the extra vav. You put it in a parentheses. That That's how he learns the right. Ve'idach Ah. Now check out this chart. Ooh, it goes upwards. So, now what is the What does Rebbe Elazar learn with the vav? He has this extra vav. What does he do with it? Oznoi velo ozna. You cannot do retzi'ah to a woman. Ve'idach. Okay, so then how does the Tanna Kamma now know that halacha? The green halacha of oznoi velo ozna. He learns from the pasuk. Nafke leimei mi'im yomar eved. We're talking The whole parsha is talking about a a male. Eved velo amah. Ah, if so, what's the Tanna Beis or Rebbe Elazar going to do with him yomar eved? He learns He learns mi'bayila achi yomar ishu eved. That you need to say to your master, "I want to remain for more years" while you're an eved. You can't go out after 6 years and come back a week later, "Hey, could I have my job back?" It's too late. Ve'idach. But, he already learned The Tanna Kamma already learns mi'yomar eved that has to be the ear of the eved and not that of an amah. So, what does he do? How does he learn mi'yomar eved? Huh? It's coming in. It's coming in. Ho eved. The extra hey. V'eved ho eved nafke ve'idach. Eved lo doresh. That's Oh, he always finishes off like that. It's not that much of a It's not too much of an extra word. Ho eved. It's normal to write like that. So, it's not You don't make a drash from it. [Music] Okay. So, that's the end of that sugia. Now we're going So, we just So, now from all Just as the chazarah real quickly. Everybody learns You like that? It Tell Yossi to continue that. Okay, cuz he wasn't sure. So, he didn't really do it for the next sugia. Too much color or go back to black and we'll space out the words a little bit. You're being serious? Ah, I love kids coloring books. Kishmach. Okay. So, now we're going back now to the next halacha. Again if you learn socher socher We have We have MDY coloring books. We give out the at the siyum. If you have the the the to suck your suck your so they should be exactly the same one who sells himself and one who sold by business should have the same why is it when it comes to Hanukkah giving gifts they're different it's different because he has a special positive a man you can you don't give him any parting gifts because it's that's how I look about by one that's sold by a business Hanukkah Hanukkah lie lie the lie at smile the office tomorrow where it says lie and not I take the word lie only in this case doesn't tell him does he get gifts not if he sells himself so what is the other man going to do with the lie lie you don't give the gifts to the inheritors says the more it doesn't make any sense why aren't the his children entitled to his gifts so he's considered a worker master let's see he he dies right before he dies right before he got a salary you have to pay the money the salary the auction should get the gifts you're right you have to pay him for working more says not like you it says you work you deserve these gifts you have no way out of it it's not a tip you must give it and there's a certain amount you give a lie this is interesting let's say the slave owes money to another individual so that other individual cannot come and say hey give me the gifts I'm I'm here in line the guy owes me money I know he's never going to pay me give me the gifts no the gifts go to the slave and only the slave don't worry I'm not going to do the thing oh here's I just try to do Yoshi's thing I took his slide and try to do it so this is Hanukkah it's a lot okay what is it with the lie lie oh yeah it says it's not fine this is what we call she put the Muslim by Muslim so in this case the Malvern lent money to the lever the the guy the cigar lent money to the guy in the bottom to the lever and the lever lent money to the so instead of the lever paying back the Malvern the goes and pays the Malvern directly it's just a circle okay so the Malvern could go directly to the and demand money that you could do that but in this case if the is a let's say the Malvern cannot go to say hey give me the gifts or the opposite the the lever is the the receiver is is uh the okay fine whatever you get the idea the point is the gifts go directly to the slave and not to the one that the slave owes money to you don't have over here you have you write me a text now that I have to put I forgot what no no no no no no no there are special I agree to you there are special about it's a gift it's not it's not a attachment they made up 600 and 600 but at the end there's always a gift and it's a certain amount of a gift and it goes directly to the and it's a special of a gift but because it goes because of his work that he did and he finished those years it goes also to the auction fine that's what he does with the lie it's not a problem because he never holds on to so he wants to say so you see over here that we don't hold do we not hold do we hold in general there's a whole here all the way at the end he says maybe everybody agrees that you do hold of when it comes to just when it comes to okay fine now we're going back we're going to the final of that there's a difference between does not get a not now just unbelievable thing and that I I didn't realize that my pet peeve here in my is a lot of people's pet peeve so I'll mention again in the grocery stores there's two giant grocery stores here in the Americas in the center of town and they have a lot of these wagons and it always drives me crazy that people take these wagons home and don't return them they leave them in front of their house first of all they make a big mess in the neighborhood there's wagons everywhere so these wagons cost hundreds of dollars they bring it and then kids break them then the people that go to the grocery stores don't have wagons they're sitting there waiting for the wagons I don't know it's then the grocery stores have to send out a truck every so often and they pick up these wagons and then I realized but what products do these people have in the wagons only but that's we only but that's in the wagon you know but they steal but that's what the kids it always drives and then I heard from many people that always drives me crazy this thing so it says here an unbelievable thing so what kind of business is this letting a Jewish man marry a what is this I can't say says that this guy if you told him two weeks ago he said you know your neighbor she she's having a relationship with a non-Jew the non-Jewish worker you go with sugar you make a big you did a big sign and this and that you burn a few garbage cans in front of your house whatever you had to do and then you go and you steal so telling you you know what you got to you're just as bad as that person that that had that relationship you you're managing the same in the same category you could have a you could have a relationship with the it's okay if you're stealing you could have a it's the same thing that's what the says so it's a remnant yeah not leave it at your house he might let you take it home and bring it back that I heard from people what I'm going to ask you to bring it back right away but to leave it there and let the kids play with it and then some people already play with it now we're going to now I can use it and leave it in my my house to take the groceries out from the this and then the contractors are using it and schlepping stuff and these things cost maybe a thousand dollars they're a lot of money and his neighbor made a barbecue we're going to do it differently just don't put the the the the empty white magnet on one of them you know that that as long as you don't use it to steal your steaks the worst was the guy that came to me to my on and he's pushing out the cakes and the right out of the bringing home that's a pet peeve of a pet peeve it's a double pet peeve fine says the where are we oh I've no idea where we are why is it if he sells himself so this the makes a lot of sense because he sold himself he's not a he just needs money he doesn't deserve it's a special but when sells you for stealing in my doing of lie the lie doesn't apply to selling yourself either laser lie about this amazing if you have Jewish slave and you have a non-Jewish slave woman you force them to get married even though the guy doesn't want that what says look it says in the so you have to give him gifts why because he worked double you worked double for you so every he works day and night 24 hours a day so what human being could work 24/7 the the says better it says that it's he's it's good when he's with you it's very good for him you have to give him the same food that you eat the same drinks that you drink you have to give him at least as good as you even more than you have or says that that what that he's working for you at night doesn't mean literally working he's working for you at night that you give him and how is he working for you because he's producing a little that's the whole point why is the why is the master want this cuz he wants to he wants more slaves that's his work I have something to say I'll say it a different time I think that you can't force him come out okay the bottom line is we don't have anybody cuz when you said that they you see over here he doesn't he just has specially moved him every time so who is the time that learned that doesn't learn the so here just to see it again if you want to see what it looks like this very it's a and I said in the yesterday by mistake I said even though it was on the screen and okay so that was a mistake too late now but the is between and you have a a connection so who's the one that doesn't hold of this very this talking about a every every that goes out to his family by Yovel. What are we talking about? If it's talking about a If it's talking about a we already said it in the possuk. If it's if it's the one that that one that had the whole process, we know. By the way, think about it. A guy that's has no way out. He has to wait until his master dies or wait until the Yovel. Could be 50 years. He cannot do He can't pro rate his There's nothing to do for him to do. What about the two years before the Yovel? It's talking about the two years before the Yovel. When two, three years, four years before the Yovel. That whatever comes first, Yovel came before the 60 years, then he goes out. You see this man doesn't hold of because what's the difference between It's all the same. It's within What you learn one from the other. Why do you need a special possuk for this? No. Again, we don't have somebody that doesn't hold of Why? Because you could say he does hold of So why do you need a special possuk? This guy, he did a big What's his biggest error? Yeah. No. The guy. Um Sorry. Omar Mar He didn't say I think let him let him stay. So we need a special possuk that he goes out by Yovel. Omar Mar Even my Where does it say in the possuk that a goes out by Yovel? It doesn't say in the first possuk what we're talking about. What kind of is it? So we have to say this possuk. We're going to talk about this possuk later on. Why do you need this What kind of slave are we talking about? We already talked spoke about it. Must be there's only the third type. My mashma So hold on. Let's go back here for a second. Oh. So if you look at this for a second That's one possuk we just brought. The says this is talking about a that a that a goes back to to his family in Yovel. And then it says another possuk. It's talking about a So the has a very simple question. We have these two possukim. Who told you that the top one is the bottom one is Maybe it's the opposite. Maybe the top one is the bottom one is Like where did you get this from? My mashma If you look, it's underlined in in red. It's red. Ish. What's something that's special to a man and not a woman? Have you ever seen a As we established before, you don't do to a woman. So the top possuk is talking about a not a a And I need both of these possukim. He didn't work six years. So maybe she could continue working at least six years. He can't go out now Yovel after a year and a half work. So this is that possuk over there. So we should give him a Why? Because it says in the possuk again, this is very important I are my slaves. So what do you Why are you making yourself a slave to a human being? That's a problem. So maybe I should give you a for doing that. I'm I'm skipping all the the little and the stories for We got to do the side. But a already worked six years. So maybe she should go out by Yovel. What about them? The that didn't work at least six years. Am I right? The at least six years. Am I right? I need the two that he should go back and he should means actually means forever, but means over here till Yovel. It should be forever. So that's why he goes back to his family in Yovel. Yovel came and he didn't work six. I would have six years. If he worked six years before So the second time around Look, a guy that that's a a He worked six years. Then he gets his ear poked on the front door of MDY. So maybe he should work another six years. Why should the second time around be worse than the first time? The first time he only has to work for six years. So the second time also six years. Maybe he should go he should he should work in the second time for 40 years until Yovel. That's not fair. I would think I would have The second time around shouldn't have more years than the first time. You go until Yovel. So we still don't have somebody that doesn't hold of And we're not going to have it. I'm sorry to disappoint you. The Rebbe The Rebbe If a person is sold to a and his relatives don't come to redeem him. So first of all, there's a a rav that called in this very very wealthy person. He said, "Listen, there's a lot of a lot of I mean we need to step up this year." He says, "I can't. I have so many relatives in the city. I can't." So he says, "Ah, okay, fine. So many relatives in the city. Great." Then the month comes and all of a sudden the rav notices all these guys' relatives are in line. So he says, "But what about your relative that's So she doesn't give us a a penny." So he So he calls the guy back in. She says, "Well, I spoke to your relatives. You don't give them anything." He says, "I don't. That's what I was saying. If I don't give my own relatives in the city, why should I give everybody else?" Fine. But But here's the real story. The Rebbe calls in a guy and says, "Listen, there's a massive massive here. This family is unbelievable. They don't The guy doesn't have for the longest time and he's this and he's that and the children and He says, "Now what do you say?" So the says, "I say I'm going to give $20,000." $20,000? He says, "No." She says, "Okay, so write out the check. Write it out. Who should I write it out to?" He says, "To your brother." To your brother. Your own brother. Sometimes people forget about the the cravem. That That's a real story. Says the Rebbe. So over here the cravem come and redeem him. So Rebbe has a story. And by the way, if you look at Rashi, this is I I was to hear this. If you weren't Is there any in the room? Anybody here? No, not even one? You are? Could you Could you say the possuk like a a open Yeah? It's unbelievable. Okay. with equal opportunities. The other day we were talking about Now we're talking about open open From the all the way to the I My way is the only way and the best way and you guys you don't know how to read. Okay. Yeah, if the guy took me serious, I was I was kidding. Everybody thinks that their way is the only way. So Rebbe says that a Listen to this. If you were sold to a here's another type of slave. A Jewish slave sold to a is not redeemed after six years. You hear Danny? Not redeemed after six years. The only way you can redeem him is through relatives. A person who's sold to a Jew cannot be redeemed. This is a to everybody. I I guarantee this is a If you're redeemed to a Jew, if you're sold to a Jew, your relatives cannot redeem you. Who can redeem you? Yourself. Only yourself. Okay, maybe they give you money and then you can take that money. But a relative not. A person a who cannot be redeemed through his relatives goes out with six years. This person that was sold to a non-Jew goes out with relatives. And I think says Rebbe that's only Rebbe. So what does Rebbe do with the word It's very important. He uses the word for this special story. Only through relatives and you cannot use six years to go out. We just turned in honor of my uncle Rebbe Person. It's for a year filled with brocha and brocha. Rebbe brocha and brocha for his family and all of them and everyone doing the side. Okay. So the Rebbe If Rebbe agrees with the of Rebbe Why does Rebbe say that a Jew who's sold to a Jew cannot have his relatives redeem him? Nail of Rebbe Oh, yeah. This is a different one. I'm showing it. Hold on. Here. So over here in Parshas Behar, perek kuf hei, it says ki socheir shana b'shana. Different It's the same zera shava. We're using the same words of socheir socheir. But now we're learning from a That a that just like a is nigal b'kroveiv ya, when you when a Jewish slave is sold to a his relatives redeem him. So too, so too Jew is could be redeemed by his relatives. Why? Because they say socheir socheir. It's the same word socheir. Shkoyach. Thank you very much. Omer Rebbi Akiva Yitzchak Lo Lom Yigal Socheir Socheir. No, again, we don't have anybody that doesn't learn socheir socheir. Even Rebbi learns socheir socheir. Shnayim Ochuzin. D'Amakra Yigalenu. L'zeh v'l'achair. Again, we have a special meal of Yigalenu. When man tana d'palig alei d'Rebbi, who's the tana that argues on Rebbi and says that a person who's sold to a could go out after six years? Rebbi Yishmael G'lili v'Rebbi Akiva, they both argue. D'sanya, Lo Yigal b'eila. It's a person that's sold to a Lo Yigal b'eila. Rebbi Yishmael G'lili v'Rebbi Akiva l'shichrur b'shai kol mishibo. So, let me just show you there's a beautiful chart. I made a very simple one and Yoshi Mamish made a beautiful. Says like this. Over here you have it's one possuk. I just chopped out the the words that we're not using. It says Oy doy doy ben doy doy Yigalenu. Odau dau ben dau dau Yigalenu. Right? And that comes to say kroveiv. Kroveiv could redeem him. Then the middle part is atzmoi. Think about it for a second. If you yourself redeem yourself, who are you going to work for? Wife. Very good. Your wife. For the for the Ribono shel Olam. Because if you redeem yourself, there's no have I mean you're going to work for somebody else. The master for sure not cuz he got paid. For your friend for sure not cuz there's nothing to do with it. And not for your relative. So, you're going to work for yourself. The big question is, what if your relatives redeem you? Your relatives redeem you, do you have to work for them or you don't work for them? What if a stranger redeems you? Do you have to work for him or not? So, the way the possuk works is the possuk starts off with the top kroveiv and and ends with achairim, with strangers. And the center is atzmoi. So, check out this chart. It's beautiful. Rebbi Yishmael G'lili puts the stop under atzmoi and he says atzmoi and kroveiv go together. You learn the top, you go backwards. When you're learning something, you go from atzmoi and you go backwards to kroveiv. And Rebbi Akiva holds no, you go from atzmoi, you go forwards. You go to achairim. So, now let's see inside. Omer Rebbi Akiva El B'achair. V'yotzei b'shnas hayovel. V'yotzei b'shnas hayovel, he doesn't get freed. Rebbi Akiva im lo Yigal ela b'eila v'yotzei b'shnas hayovel. So, Rebbi Akiva kind of sticks in a word here, ela b'eila. Only with these kroveiv, then v'yotzei b'shnas hayovel. Now, Rebbi Yishmael G'lili meidei ela b'eila k'tziv. So, the Gemara agrees that this is a bomb question. How can you stick in a word and and give a new p'shat to possuk? It says b'eila. It doesn't say ela b'eila. So, the Gemara says ela b'haikrov k'miflagi. No, see you're right. That's such a good question that we have to take it we have to say the machlokes something else. Oy doy doy ben doy doy Yigalenu b'gulas kroveiv. Oy doy doy ben doy doy Yigalenu b'gulas atzmoi. Sorry. This is This is the what I just showed you. V'nigal b'gulas achairim. Sorry. Yeah? Let's go back. Yeah. This is it. Okay, messed up. Erase that. Go here. Oy doy doy ben doy doy Yigalenu b'gulas kroveiv. Oy doy doy ben doy doy Yigalenu b'gulas atzmoi. V'nigal b'gulas achairim. Rebbi Yishmael G'lili savar. Now I'm going to get it from Leon that we went too fast in the middle of this. Zu Rebbi Yishmael G'lili savar mikra nislach rov. Shnei gulas kroveiv u'gulas atzmoi. Magulas atzmoi l'shichrur. Av gulas kroveiv l'shichrur. Rebbi Yishmael says go backwards. Leave that on the screen for a second. You go backwards. That what? Just like kroveiv Just like atzmoi. Sorry, just like atzmoi goes free, doesn't work for anybody. So too gulas kroveiv, you go free, you don't work for anybody. Over here? I don't care. Doy doy gets it. We're in a rush. Go back. Okay. Okay, we did that. Magulas atzmoi v'gulas kroveiv l'shichrur. Rebbi Akiva savar. Now we go back. Mikra nislach rov. We go to the end of the possuk. Shnei gulas achairim u'gulas atzmoi. Magulas atzmoi l'shichrur. Yeah, everybody agrees that atzmoi goes free. Av gulas achairim, when a stranger comes to you and redeems you, you go free. But if a relative does, you have to work for him. Y'hachi b'eila l'amalei. Now, if you look all the way in the beginning of the machlokes, it says D'sanya Lo Yigal b'eila. Rebbi Yishmael G'lili v'Rebbi Akiva l'shichrur. Rebbi Akiva b'eila l'shibud. If this is a machlokes, we're going based on this possuk. What does the word b'eila have to do with here? Anything? Says the Gemara, Ela b'eila hava amina mikra niderash bein l'fanei bein l'achair. I would think that this possuk goes in both directions. Yeah, like in the like this. You don't know where atzmoi Atzmoi is m'shuchrar, so it doesn't matter. Kroveiv goes l'shichrur. Achairim goes l'shichrur. It's all l'shichrur. Hava amina mikra niderash bein l'fanei bein l'achair. V'chol shichrur. Asks the Gemara, E hachi hoda kusha l'ducha. If so, we have a kasha on Rebbi Akiva. Because it doesn't say ela b'eila. Ela b'eila. Right? So, each one is going to grab and say what he thinks. But Rebbi Akiva, the only way he could get out of this if if if when your relatives redeem you or if achairim redeem you, you work it should be that you work for yourself. But I'm going to pick one of the two. Rebbi Yishmael G'lili says no, when kroveiv redeem you, you work for yourself. Rebbi Akiva says no, achair. Why does Rebbi Akiva pick achair? Because he sticks in the word ela b'eila. It's b'eila. Ela b'eila. But it doesn't make sense, says the Gemara. Ela There's no ela b'eila. You can't stick in a word that doesn't exist. So, hoda kusha l'ducha. It doesn't say ela. So, now the Gemara says something very simple. Ela b'svara k'miflagi. When your relatives, think about yourself. When your relatives redeem you, does it make sense you should work for them or you should go free? If a stranger redeems you, what makes more sense? That you should work for them or you should go free? Free. Free? Why? If a stranger, some guy you don't know, random guy redeem you. You should work for him or you should go free? Yeah, but why? He has nothing to gain from it. Why should he redeem you? You're your own uncle, he wants to redeem you, he wants to let set you free. But Mr. Joe Schmo, why should he redeem you and you should go free? Go come work for him. Fine. Okay, so you must come to that. Okay. Ela b'svara k'miflagi. But there is machlokes in svara. Rebbi Yishmael G'lili savar m'stabed gulas achairim l'shibud. It makes sense when a stranger redeems you, you should work for that stranger. The amitzus shichrur hava amina l'pukli. Nobody's going to want to redeem anybody from a non-Jew. Rebbi Akiva savar m'stabed gulas kroveiv l'shibud. It makes more sense that you should work for your relative. The amitzus shichrur because if you say that he goes out free, kol yoma b'yoma ozam u'zavim achai. He'd keep on doing it relying on his mother and his uncle and dod u'ben dod. Rebboisei, have a wonderful day. [Music]
