Let me show you some of the from the uh shar earlier today, the Hebrew Shir. So, this is in the bisr. That's MDY satellite location number one. Shi is there comes every single night the sat next to him >> litfox more of the modern everybody >> hold on in the kar hotel they had a very nice matzah here we go karel pes program after you eat the bread so there there are many who want to say that >> that's Yes. >> Question. >> Hold on. Hold on a second. That was GMO. First of all, >> next. >> The guy in the red shirt is Dave Sharfman who does a unbelievable job on the Hebrew Shir video. He's in the booth every night. >> Eat the bread. >> That's Dave Sharfman. >> So there there are many who want to say that >> I never saw that's Gosh >> taking the video. >> What kind of food do you think? >> Got it. Beautiful. Okay. What else do we have? Oh, we have Telion. They never stop. And we had even though they had the missile just like um a couple of hours or whatever, they were in the middle of a situation over there. They were searching for people that were trapped. I don't know. I still don't know what the situation is. They're doing no we'll save that for middle three lines from the top. When you make a min, you have to bring the best of the best. Silus silus is the the top of the top flower. They bring the best says the story there are two I don't know if you call them we'll call them black magic sorcerers. The med says that these two people sometimes they're called they try to get out of the creams the drowning in the Yamsov. So they created wings for themselves and they started flying away and uh in one safer that I saw it says that Gabriel and Malik came and grabbed them by the hair and drowned them. The other one said that Gabriel had a big problem with them that they were stronger than Gabriel says himself came and drowned them upon him these are tremendous and they tell what are you going to sell ice to the Eskimos how you going to doish we're known for our how are you going to teach us what are you going to do with kishov says, "So people say there's a saying, if you want to sell vegetables, where are you going to go? You're going to go to the vegetable market. You go to you go to what do you have over there? You have a lot of people selling different puim, the nuts, but there's dozens of them." But that's where you go if you want to buy a diamond. Where do you go? Go to the diamond district where everybody sells diamonds. That's where you go. You go to You want to make more money, go to a mall. You You open up a store in in a mall. You don't You don't worry about the competition. That's where people go. What is it called? They go to the um Nobody goes to They go to these um you know what it's called when they go >> No, not the mall, but they go to where they sell where the stores have their malls special like for these >> No, brand name malls. what's it called? Um I'll get the name. So like where all the brand name mall they they sell it for cheaper like stores that are cheap. Uh whatever. Okay. But you want to get uh you know clothing you go to these places. Ah there's a lot of competition that competition competition is good for this. So we're going to go to a place where there's a lot of kish malls. Tallet malls. That's right. So you go to you want to I want to show in the kish land. I want to do my own kish and show them what I have. All right, says the Mishna. And what's nice about these suggest is that it's repetitive. It talks about the wheat, then it's going to talk about the oil, but it's the same ideas in each one that you have to have the best wheat, you have to have the best oil. Where do you get the best wheat? This in the city. Where do you get the best uh oil? This in the city. You cannot bring wheat from a field that you have to fertilize because the fertilization gives it a bad taste and not from a place. Oh, let me show you. Sorry. Before we start that forward here, everybody does This is the best kitchen ever. 3,000 years ago wants to clean his room. What do you do? People think that they invented the stuff nowadays. They had that back then. says the you don't bring wheat for the from a field that was fertilized not from a field that has to be irrigated as so Why not? Because it's not the same quality. The weed is not the same quality. Not a field that has trees. But if you brought wheat from these kind of places, kosher after the fact, it's okay. What's the best way to get the best wheat? First, you plow the field and you don't do anything. It says in our you plant it 70 days before pes the maruba and that's going to give you a tremendous amount. So, as we're going to see in the gimmar, right now in the Mishna, we understand that one year you plow, you don't you don't seed it at all. You don't plant anything. The second year you plow again and you put in seeds, but we're going to see in the Gar that perhaps it means you plow three times, not two times. How do you check to see that it's the right quality? He puts his hand inside the flower if dust goes on his hand. Now dust is what we call today flour. Flour is no good. That's the first stuff that comes out. We want soilus. Soilus is the thicker stuff. You take that thick stuff and you or produce and you grind that and you come out with flour. But the initial flour that comes into your hand no good. It's ple until this whole uh batch that you have here is ple until you put it through the sifter. And if the the kernels the grain has worms as such. I forgot to ask Yoshi if this is AI or real. We're going to say that it's real. Although there's a lot of moving stuff there, so I don't know. But it's gross. So if it has worms, it's wormy. Says the you plow the field the first year. What did he mean? Is year one a year that he plows and doesn't plant? Year two he plows and then he plants. In other words, anytime. So this rais we have to remember anytime you plant you have to plow. So when the says first he plows and then he plants it means he plows plows and plants cuz comes with pl with a with a plow. Anytime you do anytime you seed you have to do a plow. So again it says so that's plow number one is seating with another plow. So then we're going to have three plows. Why the first year you plow a second plow viz a third plow. Let's see what Yoshi did here. First year he plows. Doesn't do anything. Doesn't plant. Second year he plows and then when he gets ready to to seed it he plows again. That's the third time and then he seeds it develop. So I want to know does he plow two times? Oh, maybe I didn't say. Let me say perhaps he only plows once in the first year. In the second year, he only plows while he when he's seating. So, it's only two plows total, not three. That's how Rashi explains. I'll bring you right. this these two places and if they since they're far away from if they were close to that we would have brought from them but because they're far away from we don't bring the wheat for the from them only from fields we only bring the from fields that are south of that's according to Rashi we're going with Rashi says it means every field in has a southern if it's on a mountain has the southern side of the mountain and the northern side. So only the southern side, but Raj says it means south of here we go. There's a wheat field south of the B. You can see the Bish in the background. Great. And they were plowed specifically for this purpose. The the sun rises on the field. In other words, it has sun all day long and the and the sun also sets on the field. So here's how do you do this in the first year you plow the field. So that's one and in the second year that's two and that's three you repeat. So that answers your question. It's three times. And then you plant seven days before. We want a field. We want a time of the year that has a lot of sun. And if you do that, each stalk is going to be a zeres. And the um how do you say vishibus in English? the the wheat that comes off the I forgot how to say it. The mark you remember the grain is double. It's two zeruses the kiter and you harvest and you gather it and you you uh separate the z and you throw it up in the air and the wind comes and separates the uh the the shaft and then you could uh select and and and and choose and pick the good stuff from the bad and you grind it and then you put it in the sifter. Then you bring it to the and the gizbar sticks his hand inside the batch and if he detects flour the dust go back and sift it for a second time. He said in the name of first he puts his hand in oil. You know what happens when you put your hand in oil and then you put your hand into like flowery stuff. You trap you it's like glue. So all the the flower will stick to your hand. Says the bottom line is it says that in the second year you plow for a second time and a third time. So you see that you plow three times not two times in order to get the best of the best crop for the the barley for the you're explaining to me you're bringing a from the so how come the our mission doesn't use the word that it repeats China but in the BR it doesn't use the word China says This is a says because we're talking about that before the first year, the year before the first year, two years earlier, he already did aud the field. So if he plowed the field, he only need two times. But in the where he didn't work the field before that, so he's going to need three times of plowing. says explains I don't like this terrace. So what the bottom line is what do we do? Do you have to plow the field two times or three times? So we're going to come out here that you only need two times. We'll see a little bit more in in the next Gamarra, but basically you plow the field once, but you only put seeds on half the field on 50% on let's say the right side of the field. The following year, you plow the entire field again. And then you put seeds on the left side of the field. So comes out and then you repeat the next year you plow the entire field and you put seeds on the right. Next year you put plow the whole field, put seeds on the left. Comes out that each area, the right and the left, before you put the seeds, you plow two times but not three times. So that answers the question. We're only plowing the field two times, not three times. The turning of the DA is sponsored by Adar Global Experts in crossber payments.com. Please read a shik today because every shik that happened was first read. There was a shik initiative here in the hotel last night. Y's mom and father they got together a bunch of people and they did a whole thing and uh MDY also has somewhat of a we have to get it going and do better but we got to do get some going you only bring from fields according to that are south of there's constant The sun. The sun goes up and goes down on the field. The comes from a place called How large was it? It was three saw. It's like 20 27 was 25,000 square feet something like that. Not so large. They saw the mud. So we see from here that the field was a southern field is a field that has constant sun. They plowed the field and only and only put seeds barley seeds on half. I know it says half over here, but I'm learning that it's they plowed the entire field and only put seeds on half. There's actually a street in it's not in it's called and he used to have a a field on the corner. He did this trick that he only planted seeds on half. So he gained that he didn't have to work as hard. He didn't have to go the whole distance. But and every year his field produced double the amount of a regular field was very very good quality and he and he sold it for the soilus. Anybody that wanted soils would buy from him. If the flower has worms, it's possible. What are we talking about? The flower the wheat if the flower itself has in the majority of it worms. It's possible and if the wheat has a majority that's that has worms has a question are we looking at the majority of the field and that means that even if you find wheat that doesn't have any worms it's still possible or we're looking at each wheat individual and you say oh this stock of wheat 51% has worms gone But another wheat that doesn't have worms that you could use comes at a tremendous that from the same field on the we go wheat by wheat. So each wheat you look at it if it's the majority wormy then you can't use it but the next one that's not majority worm then you could use it or no we look at the total field and we say 51% of the stalks here have worms. So the 49 that doesn't have worms are also possible. What do you do? So now let's pay attention to this question because we're going to have it number of times. Another one today and then tomorrow as well. Same exact question. What happens if you go and you take this wormy wheat and you make it look you get malus because just like if somebody makes an animal who has a blemish he makes it he says I'm I'm I'm giving to that's so here also if you take the wheat and and it's a m it has it has it's wormy it's like a m you you make it kadesh maybe you should get malus like that guy that That's an animal that has a keep since it's possible something similar. Here's a piece of wood in the little torches over there. You wish five people could uh move with a piece of wood like that. So this is for sure AI. Oh, so we're going to see is this piece of wood. Is this possible? Is there a way out of it? So look what the says here. If it has worms, it's possible. That's only if the wood is moist. This wood looks kind of dry to me. You could scrape out the area that's wormy and then it's cauter. Same question as we had before. What if he takes this piece of wood and makes it will this person individual get because he donated something since this wood is like an animal that has a blemish and therefore maybe the whole concept of is only by an animal. end of that. So we're going to start the mishn easy mishnam and immediately we go into a whole story a whole for the rest of the place called we have similar by wheat that the is number one it's the it's the it's the number one for oil that's where we should get oil for the for the just to remind we had just recently we had the gumar that tells us that rebi was a tal of and when was in Rabbi wanted to bring the oil for to the bath house on Shabas and he carried it through the the rooftops but that was also ina number two on the list if you can't find oil from you go to you have to go over the Jordan and over there there's a place called Rev and you can get oil and is it seems like also so maybe when it says maybe it's referring to all cities all over the world because last time it said it meant only that was that's a special but now it says h got to look that up was wondering that in the Hebrew here that didn't say anything now I'm now that I'm wrong because it says is good for for oil. So maybe means the entire world even though are okay but the was number one you cannot bring oil same you can't bring oil from a from a orchard that they they use fertilizer because it ruins the taste of the olives according to rashi from a place that they irrigate the the orchard the the olive trees mash and not in a place where they plant stuff between the olive trees but if you brought olives from this kind of place it's soar is going to explain is that it grew a third and the over here we're going to go with the ple do not bring from the the olives you can't really squeeze them they're too young. So you put them in water. You you soak them in water. Similar to the olives that we have today that are pickled and not from olives that are boiled that are cooked. This is different than the beginning of the that if you brought from something that's here it is pos. If you bring pickled olives or olives that were soaked or cooked, no good for the oil of a starting it says this is the story when killed his brother the whole story and distanced himself from they stopped talking and yoyov wanted to make peace between father and son, between. So he came up, he devised a tactic where he brought a very smart woman from he sent to find a really smart woman and the place that he sent was to Taya, he figured in find a smart woman and the the plan was that she should ask I have two sons, one killed the other. Should I talk to him, etc. to make a similar situation where David is going to have to pass it on her and then he's going to realize about his own situation. So it says he sent out to a very smart woman. Why did he send to the why did he send to since the people they consume olive oil they have extra amount of say here we go. This is an idea for somebody who has a test. says great. Okay. Story. Here we go. Do it again. Mark has a horror. He says half the class disappear in the middle of the thing. >> I think when he's also when he's drinking, they stop moving their pencils. Uh-uh. The problems of AI. >> Oh, but look, they stop moving. No, they're back. They're back in the middle. You mean they they leave for a break? Okay, I get it. Not a problem. Here comes the story. It says in the he he soaked his feet in oil. This is in he has tremendous amount of oil [clears throat] said. There's a place called Lutk. I'm not exactly sure. Maybe it's in I'm just guessing. A bad guess. Maybe it's in Turkey. Where's Lutia? I don't know. I didn't look it up. Lutia. Maybe. Maybe. Mark, you could look it up on Chazd. Where is Lutia? Where is it? Spain, Turkey, I don't know. [clears throat] People in they needed a lot of oil. So they they hired one of their men, a guy, a guy that could do this. Go bring us, listen to this, amount, 1 million, which is actually 4 million coins. Go bring us that amount of oil. tremendous amount of oil. He went to No, no, he came to the wrong place. Go to go to Lebanon, I think. So, he went there. No, he went to the wrong place. Go to said, "We don't have 4 million worth or a million." Four million says each one is four coins. 4 million golden coins. hear this tremendous amount. I don't we don't have that. So go to this guy. There's a guy. Go to that field. You'll find him. He finds this guy that could sell him millions of dollars worth of oil. What's he busy with? He's busy digging around the trees. He tells him. So he figures if you offer a guy a deal. I want to buy from you a million, four million coins worth of oil, the guy's going to faint on the spot. He would drop his his uh shovel and uh and bring the oil right away. And let me just show you Shanker just walked in. Let me show you what's going on here. show you the roomamaikum guys. Okay, great job Yasi do a great job here every year. What year is this number? No, you're here for 70 years. Year with Adel Adelman. Really? 70 years? Wow. Wow. Okay. Time flies. Can you believe? Oh, Lutka is in Syria. They said, says, uh, says Mark. Okay. Lutia is in Syria. Makes sense. It borders with her Israel. Came in from Syria for some oil. [clears throat] Today, it's known as Latakia. Lutia. Latakia. Makes sense. Great. Okay. Thank you, Mark. [clears throat] So, listen to this. He finds a guy that could potentially do the deal of his life and the guy says, "Sorry, this is one of the biggest problems I have with the story. I don't understand why this guy was so stubborn. What was so important for him to finish? He owned the whole orchard, the whole thing. Why does he have to finish?" Okay, listen. Basically, he's telling him, "I don't care. I couldn't care less if you buy from me. You don't buy from me. I have plenty. You want to buy? Buy. You want to buy? Wait for me for an hour. I have to finish. I have a hole here to make. I have another couple trees. When I get done, then we'll talk." So, he waited patiently. When he was done, this man takes his clothing, throws it on his shoulder, and starts walking. As he's walking, he bumps into stones. He bends down, picks up a stone, puts on the side, another stone. He clears the path like a popper. Not like a multi multi-millionaire. So, he he's he's questioning what's going on here. Do you really have a million golden coins? Four million golden coins. I think that the Jews made just played a played a prank on me. You're no guy that could sell me a million golden coins worth of oil. You're a guy that that that you're a peasant. You pick up stones. You move things. Once they got to the city, all of a sudden, a slave comes out, she brings a hot boiling hot water and he washes his hands and his feet and she brought out a a jug, a golden jug full of oil and he dunk his feet and his hands and his in it. Says the gammor sticks in he wanted to be or he was the famous the forer. He's from Asher that he should dunk his his his feet in oil. Just today somebody or last night somebody sent me a clip of Yoi Landau's seder. is uh s table and I noticed during shir I said wait a minute I think there was a golden thing so you you'll say it for yourself see for yourself here we go >> maybe I could stop it in the right place [music] >> right there that looks like a golden Unless I'm mistaken, the bottom looks silver. I don't know. We'll say it's gold. Why not? For the stick. A golden uh cup to wash his hands in. Let's continue. Beautiful. Beautiful car. Beautiful. [singing] Two of those. Okay. Why did somebody send it to me? Because it's to the gum. He didn't know. But it is. So she he realized right away that this guy is a wealthy person. He has golden kale. This is where we get today that when you do a business deal, you sit down in a restaurant, eat and you drink. He went ahead and he measured a million coins, a million golden coins worth of oil. Says the owner over there, the it only need a million. Maybe you need a little more says, "Yes, I need more." I didn't bring enough money. If you want, I'll give you more. I'll go with you. I'll accompany you all the way to Latia and I'll I'll I'll get the rest. He gave him another 180,000 coins worth. The guy had to rent every truck, every pickup truck, every car. He had to rent everything for the amount of oil that he's bringing back to Syria. Once he came to the city, the people came out to give him cover. Don't give me give this guy. Look how much oil he gave me. And he he's giving me even another 180,000 coins worth. This I see a lot in in America more than I know people here that don't have money. They don't have money but they have to show that they have money. So what do they do? They have to make a that cost $100,000, $50,000. It's $50,000 they don't have, but they have to do it because they have to show the Joneses. They have to drive a car that they can't afford. Literally, I know somebody was telling me that they they they search for all these type of cars that look very expensive but are really cheaper because they could get like a nice Range Rover that's 5 years old, but it's, you know, a quarter of the price, but people think they're driving a Range Rover. Why? Why do you need it in my neighborhood? I must drive a Range Rover because people expect me to drive a Range Rover. This is a lot of us are like this. You get into credit card debt and all this stuff. You don't have the money. He pretends he's rich. He doesn't have a dime. But there's a ve a lot of very poor people and they have tremendous amount of money like like Warren Buffett, one of the richest people in the world. He drives around he used to drive around like a 19 2001 Buick. I don't know what he has today. Maybe it broke down already. But a 20-year-old car. He lives in the same house that he bought when he got married. A little ranch somewhere. No 20,000 foot home that you'd expect from or 50,000t home like Bill Gates has. No, no, no. Simple. If you looked at him in the street, Miss Royish, he looks like a popper, but he has a tremendous amount. I said this before, but I'll tell you again. I saw with my own eyes. I went to Amnon's Pizza a number of times. And I saw a schnar sitting there on the on the sidewalk at 1:00 in the morning. It was a bach. I used to go there late at night when you're hungry. What do you do? 1:00 2:00 in the morning. Go to Domino's Pizza. There's a couple places open back then in Bar. Very few. There's a bagel shop in like the 39th Street and 13th Avenue maybe. But I'm Pizza. It's 24/7 I think. I don't know. It was open very late. Guy sitting on the sidewalk begging for money. One night I seen him get up and walk. Kind of followed him. I saw with my own eyes. I saw him get into a Rolls-Royce. Got into a Rolls-Royce and drove away. Today Rolls-Royce is $350, $500,000. Back then it was $120,000. A lot of money. No, you got to be a whole thing. Anyway, yes, Mr. There's a lot of stories like that. A just a quick m then I'll show you this video. I see that we're not bad on time so I can tell you this. M also I said in the past a very wealthy person was embarrassed to tell people that he lost all his money. He lost everything. So he went to the RV every said r I have bad news. I lost everything but the problem is I can't afford matzah and wine zero which I do a few hours before the sedar I don't have anything. So the said not a problem come to me right after my whisper guty in my ear and I'll take care of everything. So after my he waits in line and he gets to the rov and he whispers in his ear. So the ro screams out. He goes everything is g. So if it's so it's all g says his whole house. He needs matzah. He needs right away. Let's do. So the guy came and they got him fish and meat and matzah and wine is galdic. But people have a busha. Here let me show you this thing and then let me tell you a thought. This is just the whole story that we just did by slow-mo. [music] I'm 10. to rag. Oh, now I need somebody's help here. It bothered me the whole morning and I was trying to figure out how this gimra to me it seems like a mush like a person who worked his whole life but people they don't look up to him they say ah what does he have already but his entire life he did and and learned a lot of but the bottom line is when he comes up there Everybody comes out to give him and what he has with him millions and millions of of coins worth of of shemen. She is mitzvah. The mitzvah that he brings with him to we got to do something with this. This is uh we got to develop it. You have to help me out to develop this. It's just the beginning of a thought, but I think we could do a lot better because the whole story is is what is this a game they're playing with me? No. you come up there, you're gonna have a shifa who's gonna come out and she's gonna bring the the hot water and the oil they treat with such covet because at the end of the day, the hard work that you do in this world, the the the [snorts] the digging around the tree, the not listening to other people, I got to finish my job right over here. I'm going to pick up the stones. seems like, you know, unnecessary, but no, I'm doing the hard stuff, the little stuff. At the end of the day, he's the the gazillionaire. He's the one that wins. He has all those. He has that place in have a wonderful day in a >> merit of spreading Torah throughout the world. Sponsor Ashir today. mdysonsor.com or sponsor at mdy.com.
