a number of places in
which discusses what we call shadim in
English known as demons as loose if I'll
call it loosely translated what
demons are
all in the same category
anyways so this came up in the at least
we're learning zavlim and giml as we
know when a person goes into ava he has
to be careful for mazik one of the
things a person has to be careful when
he goes into a barren place is for mazik
because they find themselves always in
barren places that's a and b even more
interesting gumar is of course the
famous gar is if you ever want to know
what you are surrounded by they're there
when you're sleeping they know when
you're awake if you want to know what's
going on garra says that you put sand
around your bed And you could see
chicken feet all over the place because
that is the appearance of what these
demons look like. Okay, that is the
appearance of what they look like
because they have feet such as that
which I'm not going to get into the
reason why for that point. Okay, so at
this stage we see clearly from at least
these two gumars and there more gumar
coming later in also that discuss this
concept. Now before we start explaining
what these things appear like I just
want to display to show that these
things exist all over shas. They exist
all over besides the which we just
mentioned now in
the also mentions in
which we say
if a person extinguishes a candle
because he's worried about in the area
because you're worried about it so then
you are you're not for whatever reason
the
says that if someone is in a pit and
he's screaming give a get to my wife.
He's screaming. He's screaming out to
give a get to his wife because he knows
he's going to die in the process of
being in this deep pit. So then you have
to make sure that he's not a shade. The
garra always checks up to make sure that
it's a real person and the garra gives
him to make sure that he has a shadow a
shadow of a shadow and then you know
that it is really a person because
shadim as we'll see soon do not have
shadows for the reason we'll see soon.
The Quran Giten also says inv
that sometimes um the uh the shade will
appear in the of a person. We found it
by Yahushua that Yeshua was worried when
he bumped into the when he bumped into
that person who was holding a sword that
wanted to kill him the brings that he
said shalom and the Yeshua was checking
are you ashade or you not ashamed in
other words when he was checking to see
are you on our side or not he actually
wanted to make sure that he is on our
side of course there's a very famous gor
in gim and s which brings with hame
schom was a very uh smart man and he was
able to capture not only animals but
also shade him. He actually wanted to
deal with a guy named Ashmadai. Don't
mess around with him. That he wanted to
help him find the Shamir worm in order
to take care of the beta mikdash. And he
needed his services in order to do that.
But in doing so, he got himself in some
major trouble. I'm not going to go
through the whole entire but the guy
basically threw out melik. He
metamorphosized himself to look like him
and he was with me all thousands of
thousand wives. So it's the moral of the
lesson is watch out for these guys
because they could be extremely
dangerous almost lost everything because
he was dealing with these dangerous
shadim okay
exist are all over the
par says
the over there says that person should
not go ahead and give aim a type of
corban which we'll speak out what that
is
to the
is then it's to go out and do that says
who are these
is really normally a goat but they also
take the appearance or the name of a
which again this also we will speak out
but here we haveim that also has it
there's also and which give a reference
to the idea of shadim the moral of the
story are these things are real. They're
not a fallacy. They exist. They're in
the gar all over the place. They're
inukin. Okay, clear. Everyone's with me.
Everyone's convinced. You got it. We're
good. Now, obviously, I'm coming to a
fuk. I'm coming to say not like it's not
me. It's everybody and everybody who
everybody would come to disagree with
the great Rambam Mosha Barman who very
famously said in hisari
he also writes about it in the that this
whole shading thing is a one big bluff.
It's a it's he says it's for amaratim or
for people who think of scary spooky
things and this who watch too many
movies that's what he makes it sound
like he sounds like people are that's
not really something existent you should
know not so many people know this the
miri this may in Sanhedrin but in
general the miri is very much like the
raam he takes the ra people are familiar
with raam that he's a little bit more if
I can use the word a naturalist he's
more into not doing superficial zahim
things that are too much he tries to
make things as down to earth as possible
and the mi you should know follows suit
very much after him the mirror was only
discovered approximately 100 years ago
so the people are he's not very quoted
very often but he also does that lisa I
think everybody knows all the from the
beginning to the end whether it's the or
the in his uh in his say for of chuvas
or the red vas and gimmel and more
popularly the vagon now the vagon little
bit you know it's not nice for him to
say this he's not really but he's
qualified as
But he very famously says in simuet
he writes these words on the raam this
raam that says that shadim don't really
exist for alko they already hit the ram
on the head I said not something that
anyone that anyone should say such a
thing they already hit the ram on the
head for saying such wild things they
are go he quotes kamaras all over shass
he quotes all over shas he says these
things exist they're feel don't start
getting he says but he said because the
philosophia the too much attributing
himself to philosophy got to his head
that's why he said he hit him on his
head he said since he was so busy with
philosophy so therefore he was denying
things which are straight gumarot more
or less good yeah that's the kal that we
have over here
>> the rabb was the one who I don't know if
the words denial But he kind of played
it down. He said, "They're not really.
It's just like potential powers and
this, but it's not really something that
really exists." Like I said, we know the
says one of the 10 things that were
created on Mash was he has to give
answers to all these gumas and he kind
of does, but you know the rule that when
you give too many answers to too many
questions, it's already like you can't
there's got to be a ghoul to how far you
can take it. Anyways, so this is our
idea that we know is they appear all
over the place and they are uh extremely
relevant. Now in that in
where it discusses the idea of the which
we said are like goats which are kind of
like the already speak over there the
already says that he already brings down
about the it's a very long sworno the
swornos are usually very laconic he's
very brief and straight to the point
it's an absolutely beautiful sworno it
all sticks out my head when I went
through the sworn that was like the one
that hit me like the most cuz it's such
a incredible surro. And over there he
basically says how many people would
worship or they wouldn't necessarily
worship them as of a desire per se but
they would feed the demons and they
would feed the demons in order to get
their bidding from the demons. It was a
way of getting certain thing in order to
make a relationship a connection with
the demons in order to get what they can
get out of them and he would help them
with surah call in some way that they
can do that of course he brings from the
gumar an arvin about yph shida now ysef
shida he was a nice guy he he was he was
a good kind of shade he wasn't so bad
but the gumar brings over there that he
was over the tumin on on uh on Shabbat
he used to fly from one place of of the
world to the next he would all over the
place with naughty naughty boy wasn't so
a thing and the kulin also brings that
there was a shed in the house of ravashi
in the house of ravashi
at the time that he didn't raashi was
able to capture him or whatever it was
I'm just trying to point out that he
brings down it's real and people
sometimes would capture him and feed him
we're going to speak about why and what
but I'm just trying to give you a
picture of of uh of what we're
discussing here okay let's describe what
these things are made of. Okay, what are
these existing things made out of? Okay,
what I'm going to say now is based on
straight. First of all, the I just told
you the ram the safer of the safer theem
is in we spoke about it in the share a
little bit and the
basically the behind the way it's
understand is a malik an angel is
completely spiritual he's what we call
he's completely spiritual he's made of
spiritual elements he's completely just
ru that's really what he is that he's a
spiritual aspect you touch it, you can't
feel it. A malik is just an existential
entity, right? We are humans made of the
famous four elements which we're quite
familiar with. A and aar, right? We're
made of what we call ruach is the spirit
and ash is fire and mim is water and
then afar is the ground. Those are the
four elements that make us up. Okay,
those are the four elements that make us
up. Shim are a breed ai as they say
they're a half and half between one and
the other. Half and halfs always have
the most trouble with soim don't know
half of
they're half and half. They have a
little bit of both sides. They are made
of two spiritual elements of and again
are not made of any elements. They're
spiritual. The shim have half of we we
have we have four elements and they have
two of them. Afar and Mayim are
physical, right? Dirt and water are
physical elements. They don't have
those. They didn't get those. They only
got the other two which is fire and ru
and wind. That's what they got which are
of course we see much more spiritual
things. And that's what it means that we
created on the mid actually the rav the
bartinur. And I'm not going looking very
far on that mission says what does it
mean?
So started the process of creating them.
He threw on them. He threw on them and
then bing.
Oh, what a bummer. He ran out of time.
He wasn't able to do it because Shabbat.
So therefore, he was not able to finish
and they were an unfinished
product. They never got the physical
part. They only got the spiritual part.
So it ends up that they are as we say a
little bit they have a little bit of
each. Okay. He says
what does it mean
to their men? It means is coming to be
also
that were created on vain but they're
lacking something. They're not finished.
Why am I mentioning this? So you know
first of all about them. There's a lot
of things you'll learn. But one thing I
want to tell you and that's an important
factor is because of this they are
jealous of people. How to take that
makes you feel good. No shadim are
actually jealous of you because they
would love to have a body. It's a bummer
not to have a body. It's not sobbach.
You only have a spir kind of spiritual
entity but they don't have the physical
body. They're just kind of like a
walking shadow around here. And the poor
guys have chicken legs. You know, it's
not. So since it's not so enjoyable,
they are actually jealous of us. Why am
I telling you they're jealous of us?
That's where their point of kit comes.
That's why they can actually be a little
bit dangerous. If a person utilizes them
incorrectly, he can actually get hurt or
in trouble. Like I said, Melik almost
got he got thrown off his throne and
whatever. A lot of long story over
there, but you see that he was actually
put himself in physical danger as a
result of it. Okay, this is the
description of how they look. I will
present to you a garra in also from
which I'm sure you guys are remember
and over there the garra actually says
that malim are angels people are people
and shadim are in the middle three
things shadim are similar to malim to
angels and three things they are similar
to people mish like I told you half and
half they have two elements and not two
elements they're missing So the three
things they're similar to people is
because they actually are purvu they die
they don't live forever they die like
people they live long lives this guy
Ashai lived almost a thousand years they
do have a long lifespan because they eat
healthy and that's it and they can take
care of themselves they do a lot of
exercise they fly around all over the
place so they're very healthy people
they're able to stay around for a long
time second of all they're purvu they
also reproduce meaning they don't just
um do the amoeba parmesium thing right
they actually have to have a male and a
female type of phenomenon and also
they're and they also have to eat and
drink which that we're about to we
discuss. Okay. So they have these three
aspects which are similar to us but they
have three spiritual aspects three
superhuman aspects and from here we get
all our um all our superhero type of
phenomena they get from here. First of
all, they have wings like the which
means they're able to flap around and
fly.
They're able to get around from one
place of the world to the next. And also
meaning they're not limited by space.
They are not bound to space. They're
able to move from one place to the the
next freely. And also they're able to
see a good what does it mean? They could
see somewhat of the future. They're able
to see someone of the future. What's
going to happen? They cannot change the
future, but they're someone able to see
the future because just like they are
above space, they're also above time.
The more spiritual you are, the more
above time you are, you're able to see a
little bit. Uh you're able to see a
little bit above. And that's why people
like to hang out with these guys. Even
though it could be dangerous, it's fun
to hang out with these shindalas, these
shade of them. You know why? Because
through them, I might be able to see
what's the right stock to invest in. No,
they're going to tell me apples in you
should know. Put it in 10 years, you're
going to be you're going to be a rich
man. So, it's very good to be able to
see where the future, right? That's
that's a that's a good thing. So, that's
why people are very into trying to deal
with them even though, like I said, it
could be a dangerous venture. It could
be something dangerous, but it's still
um it's still worth it. Okay, that's
that's that. Now, how do I get on their
good side? You guys want to know after
this convincing cogent uh speech that
I'm giving here? I'm here. This is this
is all about a business transaction
here. I'm just trying to get trying to
get you guys to be rich here. So, how do
I convince these guys to be able to be
on my good side? Okay, the answer is you
have to feed them well. They need a
certain food. They are limited to a
certain diet. You remember I told you
they're very healthy. They fly around
all over the place. They do a lot of
exercise. They need a good diet. What do
they eat in order to keep them in place?
They are very limited in their diet.
They can't just go ahead and eat carrots
and lettuce. They're much more limited.
They're not physical.
Sayso in that piece.
They need some type of food which is
extremely spiritual. It has a small not
a spiritual food that doesn't help me.
has to have a small amount of
physicality but it's a spiritual
physical food okay it's a food which is
spiritual kind of so the first thing I
think when I hear that and this I
mentioned in the life after death sharim
is of course the mun the mun which we
ate on the uh 40 during the 40 years of
the midbar was an extremely spiritual
food it was made of these little
coriander seeds right it was made of
little things that are duspas
and they um we are able to eat on it of
course we Oh, it tasted. Why did it
taste like anything you wanted? Just for
the fun of it. No, because something
spiritual is not limited to place. It it
it was able to whatever I whatever I had
in mind. That's what it tasted like.
That's what it was like. Of course, we
know that we had no extract. When a
person was eating it, he didn't have to
go to the bathroom the whole 40 years.
Okay? So, he was able to digest it
properly. It digests completely. It's
called lemarim because it goes and it
got absorbed into your whole body
perfectly man. Fantastic. That man is
the food of the malim. Okay, which are
the higher worlds already? We're in the
higher worlds of Bria. But that's the
food of the bria. That's not the food of
the shadim. I tricked you. You probably
thought I have to get some mud on my
hands here. No, I have an easier
solution. That's not because the like we
said the shadim are somewhat physical.
Mun is even too spiritual for them,
believe it or not. What do they eat? You
know what they eat? You look at that big
sworn over there. You know, you know
what they eat? They eat blood. Vampires.
They go ahead and that's what they
consume. Hemoglobin. That's what they're
into. Eating blood. Why blood? That just
sounds so I'm telling you all the go get
their stuff from us. Everything from the
beginning to the end. This stuff has
been written se not centuries millennia
before any of these guys with the big
fangs who are coming to you in the
middle of the night and and and chopping
it was written way before that and they
copy everything from us. That's why I
kind of like these things. You just
realize how much literature the have
the have completely ripped off of
Judaism and just made money off of us.
We deserve uh what do you call what's it
called? Percentages royalties. We
deserve royalties.
>> We made most of [laughter] it.
He's saying we made the movies anyways.
Warner Brothers and this. He's right.
That's true.
Anyways, so why is it that blood is so
luscious to them? So listen to this.
We all know the tell us the source of
life is blood. If your blood stops
running through your arms, it feels like
a dead piece of skin. Feels like it
feels like 10 10 lbs of meat. It's the
incredible thing when your blood is
running through your stream is it's
light. You can go up. It can fly. It's
incredible. Carry a dead body and carry
a live body. Everybody knows the
difference of the weight.
It's a difference in
also about this phenomenon which is not
for now. But we see that is the it gives
the life bread. What we call
the the spirit of life. The ru comes
through what we call dam. Oh, what did I
just say? I saidim.
So inside of dam lies ru oh it has ru in
there I love ru is great shadim live by
ru remember what they're made up of four
elements one of those elements was ruak
and you know what their other element
that they're made up of is
what's your blood system why is blood
system we are warm-blooded creatures
more or less and we all know the reason
why we're warm-blooded is due to the
fact that our you said it warm-blooded
Right? The co of our blood is there to
warm up our bodies. So then everyone's
hemoglobin, everyone's blood uh
circulatory system, you have also the
property of ru which is wind and you
have the property of esh of fire. Oo
that sounds so yummy for a shade. That
is so y that's exactly what they are.
We like to eat meat because we're meat,
right?
We're like meat eaters. We're
carnivorous a little bit because we
liked things. All right. Sometimes you
have to eat your broccoli. What can you
do? Because you're forced into it. But
be corrupt, right? That's that's where
it comes from. So the that is why they
love to have blood because it connects
exactly to their au. And this really
explains a lot of things because the
second you realize that you can
understand why dam could have properties
of tuma or bringing shadim or bringing
tuma to the world. I'll take a very
simple example. This I didn't see inside
of a book, but I think it's obvious.
Everybody calls all the time when they
have to go to a cemetery and their wife
wants to go for a relative. Why do they
go? Oh, my wife is pregnant. Am I
allowed to go? Is she allowed to go this
and that? That you should know the
question is fine. It's a good question,
but it's a mistake. Most people make a
mistake. The is or the problem for a
woman to go to the is now when she's
pregnant when she's pregnant is usually
better. The problem is when she is tame,
when she's having her cycle during that
time of month, as we say, why? Because
blood brings on mazikin. It's a very
kimikatric time. It's not something
that's a very ample time for women. Stay
away from dead people. That's where all
the mazik are. All the mikin are hanging
out in the you just read about when you
walked into ava, you walked into a
desolate place, there are mazik all over
the place. They're there to get you. a
woman who's during that time of the
month, it's not good idea to go to that
time. So, it's not a fool when she's
pregnant, it's usually even better,
right? Then she's usually okay. It's not
such a big deal. So, we see that's why
it comes. Now, again, this is not
always, if I could say, democratically
correct to say that, oh, women are
tummy. But we have sukim about it. We
just read about it in last week's para.
You don't have to look so far. Even
Lavan, who thinks Lavven is a Russia? I
wrote the fact that he's a Russia. He's
a good for nothing, right? is a mean
evil descript the man has the best
son-in-law four times four and he and
look what he does to him this evil
person what does he do I'm sure he did
not keep Shabbat I have a very strong
feeling he didn't keep kosher he goes to
his daughter he's begging for his
like he's crazy about it's mamish like
drugs he needs to have these trim it's
like he he he puts them in his in his
thing right he he smokes up all the time
with these trfim he needed his looking
desperately for them he goes to the last
available spots to his daughter and she
says, "I'm sorry, papa. I can't get up.
It's derking." It's derkingly. GET UP. I
want to see what's under. Don't lie.
Don't do She's a mash. I know. I know
your stick. Get up. What does he do? He
runs with his tail between his legs.
RUNS AWAY FROM HER. STAY AWAY. HIS OWN
DAUGHTER. He doesn't want anything to do
with her. He's not even married to the
woman, right? When you're married, so
you're supposed to run away. But and now
YOU'RE RUNNING. IT'S YOUR DAUGHTER. WHAT
DO YOU CARE? Says the Ramb. You see from
here when a woman is going through that
time period they were off limits they
had as we know in halaka they had their
own special chair own special I'm afraid
to say what I'm allow the camera they
put in a separate room I'm not kidding
when they were like in a totally
separate section in a totally separate
thing that's brought down it's brought
down in dump in your day over there so
we see that there is such an idea of
being pushed away of being and the
reason is because the dam brings out the
of these of the spirits of the negative
spirits which can be extremely
dangerous. You got it? So, it's
something that is very real, something
very
uh something very uh something that's
very uh very real about it. Now, the I
mentioned to you before the Rambam. So,
this I don't know if this Ram 100% works
with the previous Rambam, but the Ram
also says I'm just advancing here inv
there's a group of people known as the
Sava who they worship the Shadim the
Ramban. He says there it's called
necromancia and there's groups of people
who worship to the shadim they also do
their their shadim tricks and it's
called necromancia that they go ahead
and try to get to the spirits a very
Indian type of things all the ho the
dancing and this and that is usually
getting to the good spirits and the bad
spirits and trying to push away the bad
spirits which what's they're referring
to over here now having said that says
the this is very typical of guide to the
perplexity does a lot of this but over
here is for our subject he basically
Ally says that the way they would
worship them is by taking blood which he
says is they held it was very very bad
stuff. They would try to stay away from
it but they would take it and drink the
blood because that was their way of
being able to talk or relate to again
the dalids. Why? For the reasons I told
you before. You can do a lot of fancy
stuff with it. Maybe you can even fly
with it without a cape and you can also
go ahead and and see the future and do a
lot of good stuff with it. So they would
actually drink this stuff and he says
that's the reason says the Rambam why we
are user and eating blood not everybody
likes to give you know the whole morning
of is all about that and in the he
writes that's the reason why we don't
eat blood because we stay away from
these types of sorceries which are
completely
it's brought down that you're not
allowed to do anything in talking to the
shim it's called
speaking to the is also is not allowed
so part of it is eating is eating this
blood or drinking this blood in order to
be able to make this relationship to be
able to make this connection. also says
the Rambam another when a person kills
when you kill certain animals there's a
there's a of
it's brought in
that that we know that it's a whole that
a person is supposed to cover the blood
of a not when you kill most of the times
we're killing cows and sheep or whatever
and that you don't have to cover only by
a wild animal and chickens there's the
idea of why do you have to cover up
their blood the Answer is says the raam
for the same reason because we don't
want the mikim to come and uh what do
you call it the food to abduct the food
or to um to uh to mama the food to take
advantage of the food okay it's an order
to avoid all these types of things so
these are what they said another of oda
that they say is they used to have blood
baths now I think this is partial it's
my own addition I think it's obvious
there's no question that we always read
oh this parro guy was such a Russia he's
good for nothing yet he killed 500
babies every day in order to make blood
baths. Couldn't they think of something
nicer? Just make a pool just to get them
the hose and just put water. It's like a
very frustrating type of thing. They had
to kill so many things just for a stupid
blood bath. But the answer is this is
what he meant cuz he was going to get
help from the from the other side from
the wrong side by swimming in blood. He
was feeding them he was giving them
sustenance. He was helping them out and
then they were able to heal him. If he
got healed in the end, I don't know. But
in the end of the day, that's the reason
why these things are done. So all these
explanations are here to show you that
there is reality to this phenomenon.
It's something that uh definitely exists
and uh it's something that's if I could
say it was always here. I do want to
mention I told you that the Rambam says
it's uh these things are all a facade.
So some people say they say this
Katskar, but I actually saw a midrash
that they learned from a midrash. The
kudsk would say from the time the ram
was the godor. God from the time the
raam said shadim don't exist they
stopped existing. If you're wondering
why it's okay nowadays and we're a lot
more lenient these days is from the time
the raam decided that they're not
around. They were around all the time.
No way they're around. But from the time
the raom said they're not around. Now
you know why we have a little bit more
of a calm scenario around us. We don't
feel this,
right? We don't feel going ahead and
taking advantage of us, right? You
understand?
The reason why is because the Rama made
this. So listen to a midr incredible
midrash.
from all the midrash embraces
is the longest midrush that exists. It's
it's almost it's humongous. And he
writes over there.
On the day that Moshe stopped putting up
the Mishkan, he writes over there,
what's
the midra says from the time that Moshe
put up the Mishkan? He was able to
terminate the from being around when the
B mikd is around the Mishk's around. So
he terminates through the Mishk was able
to do. They bring a raz that what does
it mean? Call it mosha. Mosh Mosha
barman right you understand is the ram
is the ram that from Mosha was around
that was the mazikim from being around
we see that mazikim are real they're
really there's numbers of stories about
um about them that exist I'll tell you
one that uh it's a it's a real story
that happened it's brought in the safer
hayosher okay now before I say the story
I want to tell you that clearly we said
like before they always hang out in
barren places not around like inval
before a person goes into the bathroom
there's a certain it's brought in
there's a certain things that you have
to say before you walk into a bathroom
which we don't do anymore because we
don't have mikim like I just told you so
since the beta is a place that was
dangerous you would say something before
you would walk in or an empty field it's
a very famous gamarra in kaducian onet
by me it's very famous cuz I remember
when I was in seventh grade we didn't
listen to the rabbi at all I don't
remember one one thing that ever
happened in that in that class the whole
seventh grade I do remember one time a
substitute came was a very smart rabbi
cuz substitute would be haunted haunted
right he would be haunted completely
what happened he came and he learned
with us a garra what
he spoke about in garra that there was
in the shul a demon there was a shade
going around and we were also interested
to hear this and in this in the sh this
demon was going around and a bay came to
visit for Shabbat. So there was a accept
they accepted amongst each other no one
invite a bay to his house for Shabbat.
Everyone leave a bay in the house
because a bay I want him to get rid of
this demon. He's he's got the power to
be able to do it. But Kitser Abay was
left desolate in this empty sh which was
in the middle of the forest. Everybody
leaves and da appears this sevenheaded
monster. Imagine seventh graders hearing
this like wow this is great stuff. A
seven-headed monster and a with every
bow that he did he knocked off one of
the heads and he was able to
successfully get rid of the shade. So
you just see that when people are left
desolate. So this is what happened. This
is the reason another again come into
very often have a list of but here's
another where it appears besides the
fact that before you go into you have to
be careful besides the fact that there's
an is speaking to the
there's also which we have inv
that of course we know on Friday night
we say a after the reason is because the
shs used to be out in the wilderness in
the midbar and if everybody would leave
and leave someone alone there. So that
would be dangerous just like happened to
a bay. So therefore we say an extra
prayer in order to make sure that no one
leaves anyone alone that everyone will
be around and everyone leaves together.
I don't know if I'd be going to shul if
I was in that such a situation. Was that
scary? But anyways that's uh that's what
they did. So we see
>> say again
>> I didn't hear that says that there's no
mazik zot over there talks about zugot
baby
zugot talks about mazik
you have to show me you're talking right
I know I know it discussed mik and the
of zuk I don't remember saying that
[snorts]
but many of the gumar I think were in so
I'm surprised
Um
um okay I'll I'll tell you let me finish
with this because I see we're really
short on time. Let me tell you a couple
ways to protect yourself from I'll end
with the story a couple ways to protect
you from is first of all
we all know in the end of in the which
is in we know there's such a thing
called
the reason we do it is because of mazik
meaning we do have a little bit ofash
for mazik we don't mik to take advantage
it's also
if I'm not saying like that right
there's also that also says that you
have to be careful for that's why we say
everyone look in a safer when it says
there's two big letters in Israel the
shin is big and the is bigot
scary seems to protect it right so the
best protector from one of these things
is to be be able to say and that's why
we do it except on leak of course where
it's a leim over there we're very miker
in Israel leim doesn't mean no one's
going to break in your house necessarily
it could also mean that I don't think in
our day and age it means that so much
especially if you live in certain areas
of the world but usually it means it
protects you from the and since the
reason why he's saying to protect you
from mik for hurting you the reason why
a person can die at night time is
because of the get to you
He's the same person. So therefore, a
person says in order to protect you
everyone knows that everyone knows
that's always connected. It's
to the says a person's
from him and that's why and then
eventually special times and also the or
brings nothing better than
learning Torah. Learning Torah is always
the best protector.
We always know the midra says
if you keep your
including
I protect you if you keep your boys in
yeshiva and don't put them in the army
then the mid tells us we're going to be
okay we'll be safe if you try to empty
out the yeshivas I don't want to think
about it I'm I'm shipping I'm leaving
I'll take the first flight out of here
because we're in big trouble that's what
protects us and we know the we know
melik The Malik was dying to get him. I
use that expression on purpose. He was
dying to get a hold of me. And did he
get him? Yes. When one second he stopped
and all of a sudden he was able to get a
hold. So you see that we have ways of
protecting ourselves. Shadim are real.
Shim are scary. Shim exist. But you have
to be you can put up your ways of uh of
protecting yourself if you're doing it
in in uh in many types of of ways. Many
of the sakot we have many of the dangers
we have involve shadim also such as we
know the need and you shouldn't leave a
peeled onion or a peeled garlic an egg
is questionable you shouldn't leave
those over all night it's brought ina
to tell us you shouldn't leave those
cannot come because the shadium zap on
to it I teach it in the girls school and
they're always like what happens when
you peel they're trying to figure out
what hygienically happens when you're
doing I'm talking about shady oh shadium
okay they don't ask any questions right
you understand that's that's um when
It's a that's what is this
we do for that in the morning we're a
little bit more lenient than they used
to be because like I said we're better
off a little bit with the you have to do
the dime as soon as possible though
because they get the heebie-jebies go on
top of your hands you understand the
beta
there's places all over the place not to
do speaking to the shadium I'll end with
a story we'll end with a story from the
safer kayasher because I see it's arvit
and basically said is there was a person
who bought a house in a certain area and
guess what? There was a poltergeist in
the house. It was a haunted house. Door
literally I'm saying straight from the
kavasher. There were doors that were
opening and closing, windows that were
opening and closing. There was noises
all over the place. And you know back
then these guys had a back. I I know I
would not even look at the house. I
didn't, you know, get rid of the deed
and goodbye. But they said this is
really bummer. I bought a house. I want
to live here. This is how do I live
here? So they went to the rov of the
town Ravoyel Balashem. They went to Rav
Balashem and they said, "Sir, Rabbi, can
you go ahead and take care of this
haunted house? I'm so happy I didn't
live during that time period as a
rabbi." Right? They said, "Can you go
ahead and take care?" So Raul Balash
went in there and he went down in the
basement and he trapped the shade. He
got him. HE SAID, "GET OUT. You're not
allowed to stay in here." He says, "You,
Rabbi, no, you get out." He says, "He's
not allowed." He says, "Why not?" He
says, "We own this house. We got it.
Birushia. We inherited the house. How'd
you get a buusha? He says there was a
turf and I'm just bringing out what I sp
in the beginning this year. There was a
black surf is a a guy who does um medals
who plays with metals that had relations
and had a relationship with a shida and
he was able to have kids from the sha.
That's the of the story. He actually had
other shadim that were produced from
this female shade. And these children
ended up he ended up dying in the war
and we ended up being in the basement
but this is our house. We were yours the
house. We own this house. This is the
the children here are us. We own this
house. So the guy said to him two
things. First of all he says shadim are
not allowed to be in a bar place.
There's people here. There are people
around you can't be. That's a and b. The
second thing he told him is that there's
no such thing as yusha by a shade.
There's no such thing as an inheritance
by a shade. You're not a person to be
able to do that. They said no no we want
to. HE SAID THAT'S MY THIS IS THE YOU
HAVE TO GET OUT AND THEY LEFT. Some
people listen to the he said we had no
choice when the say so we have to do
