Der Rebbe Redt Tzu Kinder — Pinchas

all right welcome back this is the second installment of their evidence of Candida the surface of the rabbit to serve as a Shem which we are learning as adults in order to understand it better for ourselves in order to teach it to others which is the best way to learn obviously well actually according to pick we avais to learn in order to study to teach and to do so of course the hero of a pile is the most important thing all right so spacious pinnacles and we're gonna learn to see how harshest pinnacles shorts it's actually from you'd base other Tufts from em hey it's not from partial pinnacles but in the rabbit it's a kinder is under that partial because of the connection to a mitzvah that is impartial Spinnaker's so let's we'll start right here in hind Cappadocia Zod on dictated the mitzvot finales de la highs wounding him for neuro shots in the current parsha the tailor commands us regarding the mitzvah of Nicole ice inheritance also known as Jerusha inheritance and you see the out of the footnote here where it speaks about Natalie's so safer mitzvahs lahar album MIT success a rash mem pass I have my safer mitzvahs here okay and I have mitzvahs si an H mem pass okay right here 248 right each key Olmos vein ain't like a man passes away he doesn't have a son that's the whole story of the Benoist Slough cut by the way you know who then what the name of the Father of the Benoist Slough cod was what their father's name was the Benoist slough caught it's just a trick question it was Slough cut okay what color was George Washington's white horse okay anyway we also learn a new mitzvah when someone passes away who gets their things called guru sha okay so this is from the my Rambam Jacobsen edition my rabbim very good all right also make sure we're prepared here we have you had this book all right which volume volume five I had my research department look this up volume five the Mitzvah this is Mitzvah 539 if you're going by the whole you know all the all 613 mitzvot DNA knock lice the D name the laws of inheritance and it has here the park or the zoo came from our partial from Paris Pincus right here velbon a thrill to diver layman speak to the Jew saying each key ammos of an anal a person who passes away and I just want to read here from you know the the everyone knows the excellent work that was done to put together the how this curriculum but in order for us to put ourselves in the mind frame of a child who's learning this subject I just want to take a minute here to study the way it's presented here okay there are several different ways through which a person can acquire an item of value including buying it working for it or receiving it as a gift right it's right there we mentioned a few different types of acquisition buying it that's one way working for it was another way receiving it as a gift that's another one these are all types of Kenyan when we receive something in one of these ways it is easy to forget the one who is the owner of everything in the world a person who owns a beautiful home may say I worked hard for many years so that I can buy my home a person who has an expensive watch may say I earned this watch for mowing my neighbor's lawn throughout the summer months and a girl with a beautiful necklace may say my parents gave this to as to me as a gift since I help around the house however there is one way for one to acquire items of value throughout without paying for them earning them or even deserving them this is through inheritance by following the laws of inheritance as set out in the Torah we are clearly reminded that Hashem is the true owner and master of the world and everything in it and his gifts remain with a person and his inheritors forever and that is adapted from the safer he Noah that's here question for the children here's a little checkpoint simply didn't they do the checkpoint how is an inheritance different than something you buy earn or receive as a gift so this is a concept that a child could learn I mean not only could learn does learn and you know the simple way of explaining is inheritance is a form of acquisition they don't know the word acquisition but they understand the idea of you didn't own something now you do own something okay are there different ways to become the owner of something okay so they know about you you might buy something give money for it and then you come to own it or you might earn it you work for it you didn't give money for me to give your time you gave your effort and then that's paid to you as payment or it could be a gift you didn't buy it or earn it but somebody gave it to you because then they like you they wanted to the one to reward you're the one to show you their friendship everyone understands these concepts and then there's another way of acquiring something called you know show and you OSHA is an automatic transfer that happens after 120 when the descendant the child of somebody automatically takes their takes possession of their property okay fine so now we're in a mind frame of looking at this Mitzvah from the from the eyes of a child let's let's continue in the serum when doss delta de grâce funded by yiddish air kinder and here there comes up a big wonder like a big question from jewish children jewish children are studying the mitzva and they're gonna have a question and it's very interesting you would think that that ever had taught pre 1a to be able to understand the psychology of a child and the kinds of questions that children would ask and it's interesting by the way there's someone else that the way the debet taught us to learn his teachings you would also think he probably you know he taught free 1a or he thought he must he must have taught little children you know five-year-olds you might think maybe he taught coma two five-year-olds a big rabbi yeah great rabbi may be taught five-year-olds commish Ben Hamish Lamia de Rashi right and the way that the rabbit taught us to learn Rashi you know if Raschi doesn't ask it it's because a five-year-old would never ask it and if Ashley does ask it it's because a five-year-old would ask it or at least a very smart five-year-old sometimes the Talmud Mamula but at any rate there's a certain I don't know I would call it [Music] understanding of the of the listener understanding of the Talmud you know as teachers often we fall into the trap how do we understand something how do we want to say it and what's much more important is how is the Talmud gonna hear something and how can they best hear it and so you see here as an example that I was saying look you're gonna teach the subject to children here's a question that's gonna come up and then that up it tells you the question the child's gonna have it after you read it you're like you know what totally totally I could see kids coming up with that question so that ever reminds us to get back into that mentality when we're teaching children okay alavés and dog as mushiya clumped now everyone knows Michelle's coming now okay the children who are studying this subject they no miss yes coming now when Zipit a felon aliens I designed Summa cobbles Antonia shifts it kano and of course another thing we know for sure all Jews are going to merit to receive mushiya Griet mushiya i0 Altran UN's ADA's the kahapon say wolf kaha davit Omaha are given with a travel including their parents and their grandparents who raised them the way Hashem wants movie bout not be as Amish Evelyn Alizee design sari has Yami bhushanam Davis and since after my chef comes everyone is going to have long life B's so a bacon lemon in fact they will have eternal life Kazuma hate on Fralick I hate with good health and happiness so what's the child gonna ask now is doc dose at site when the Al'ar lockers for nirosha is an inning gansan it's shy it's gonna be a time when all the laws of you Russia won't be shy right because how does the the laws of you dosha start we said each key almost a person passes away remember that's what the plastic said from from our parsha when a person passes away but the kid knows hold on a second teacher father mother whoever it is who's teaching them we know that very soon there's going to come a time when no one's gonna pass away and we're learning laws about transfer of items that occurs when when somebody passes away but people aren't gonna pass away anywhere so how is it gonna be relevant anymore I'll outlive Ellen da kleben mcian it's him Avik 11 because everyone then is going to live forever by the way that Emma doesn't explicitly make a point of this but I think it's very worthwhile for us to stop here for a second and reflect upon it did Eva's assumption about the mentality of the child is that a child would assume that something we learn would have to be relevant and if it's not going to be relevant anymore why would we learn it see very important idea here the child's assumption is if you're telling me something it's relevant but I know another and piece of information that chefs coming very soon we're all going to live forever that would tell me that maybe the thing that you're teaching right now is not relevant and that's gonna bother a child unless you abuse their trust over and over and over again by telling them things that are not relevant and another thing is net relevant nothing then finally you know what happens they become cynical hospice Shalom and then they just assume you know okay fine so it doesn't have to be relevant and that's that's a very sad thing when that happens because the assumption of a child is that if you tell me something it's relevant so we should live up to that assumption and make sure if there's any question how something may or may not be relevant to take care of that and address that now let's go a little bit further not at this and another thing frak the Yiddish kind-- a child is gonna ask another thing a child is gonna ask if Bindo bar Bar Mitzvah or the BAS Mitzvah I'm a child um I'm younger than Bar Mitzvah bas Mitzvah father Volant men mit mir Hill kuznick voice why are you learning with me the laws of inheritance law Spanish I cos haven't claimed the kindred metas alka and yawning what a little children have to do with with such laws you know you do the estate planning everybody knows that means you talking to the old people what are you talking of state planning with children right so a little kid is thinking what does this have to do with me see this is this is another level before we're saying the child's asking how is this Mitzvah relevant in general because very soon people aren't gonna pass away at all so the Mitzvah won't be any relevant to anyone but then as another level or another layer how is this relevant to me even without the first question the second question still stands which is how's it relevant to me I'm a child why should I know about inheritance so two things here the child assumes that anything you teach them and they rightfully assume than anything you teach them is relevant in general and then more specifically it's relevant to me because you're telling me it has to be relevant to me and the child is right to have that assumption and therefore we want to reinforce that assumption by making sure that the child knows yes indeed anything that I tell you is relevant to everyone and it's relevant to you is dead end far off them okay so here's the answer has to be an answer otherwise how special um we're telling people things that aren't relevant in sugah to them Indian for nirosha in Pashtuns in in addition to Eurasia in the most literal sense Vasek in Yash and the Altran the conduct when span secure where a child inherits his parents after 120 years he's a foreign their Indian Phoenicia of a roughness they can - there's also Jerusha in the spiritual sense was das is fair on by a Dunedin stand ik which exists by every Jew eternally on the Altran or elfin zone homina homina shall empty vase and the parents and the grandparents they should live for good long years nobody has to pass away for this eternal spiritual Jerusha to exist SS for an erroneous take in Arusha was kinder reaction in from the of aiso Nimoy's when Cloughley sell of romney otaku yankee of solder if Garofalo maya there's a spiritual Jerusha the children inherent inherit from the obeys and the noise of romeo spoken yankov sada rifka rahul and leia this itself before we go on I just want to comment on this the dead rabbit is introducing the concept of there's a thing in this case Jerusha that thing exists on two levels a material level and a spiritual level right there that is a world of pinnacle the very concept see we take it for granted that's why I'm stopping and I'm like drawing our attention to it we take it for granted we're so used to it it's like the air we breathe but the notion that we would teach something to a child and we would say to them well yeah there's how that thing exists on the Material Plane and there's also how it exists in a lama selenium on a spiritual plane and then how that spiritual heavenly thing comes down to this world and has relevance to your life now you're gonna say wow that's what we're saying - okay yeah you're darn right it is what we're saying to a kid 100% and why am I making a big deal about this because it's so common to us and yet so foreign to the rest of the world most of the world today their understanding of the world is a materialist worldview materialism doesn't mean that you have fancy new clothes and gadgets all the time that's conspicuous consumption and conspicuous consumption is a a symptom of materialism but materialism really means the world view that everything can be reduced to matter so what is it all it's just matter it's physical stuff there's nothing more than the physical world and that's the predominant world worldview today from the smartest people in the world today they see the world as all physical I mean today is you'd gimel tamos so I should definitely acknowledge that and we would do well to tell a story about the mysterious nefesh of the feet occurred ever so I'll tell you a story and one of his arrests not the one that was um Ultimo's but in one of his arrests a communist took out a gun and he tried to scare the Frieda crabbit the Frieda crabber was impervious to their intimidation which they hated because they were masters of psychological warfare they know how to break people down and they couldn't break the free to grab it so he pulled out the gun maybe that would scare him and the guy said snidely you know this little toy has you know it knows how to make people talk and the food it could ever said that toy works on people who have one world and many gods I have two worlds and one God what does that mean what does it mean when the Video Grabber says I have two worlds so I used to think it meant you know don't worry if you kill me I'll go to I leave this world we'll go to the next world but I saw or that ever explained once that that's not what the feeder could have been meant it meant that he has two worlds at the same time don't you realize this world isn't just a physical world so those who appear strong are not necessarily the ones who are strong and even when a situation looks like it's going a certain direction it's not the whole story there's a lot more to it there's not one world there are two worlds there's not just one plane of reality there's a whole other dimension which is hidden from us but it's just as real as the physical one so the idea of two worlds the idea that everything that exists in the physical world also has a counterpart on the spiritual plane and it's just as real as as the physical in fact it affects our lives just as much as the physical if not more if not more so just and what I'm saying is before we even get into the spiritual idea of inheritance just the idea that the Rebbe is telling us when you talk to a child and have a question when you tell them okay there's a concept called inheritance but there are two versions of that concept there's the material version and there's the spiritual version that itself is such an amazing lesson in in Kinnock I'll tell you a quick story before we move on I was once speaking at a Habad house on campus and the West Coast a very very I mean it was Northern California which is you know I don't have to tell you politically what Northern California is like and it was a campus so it was even more so anyways I was speaking about I told a story about meditating with Syria shloka the talk was about meditation and I spoke about one time that I was meditating with a bunch of little kids seven eight nine ten year old kids and we're being Miss Beynon on Hashem is here M is there I was truly everywhere I'm the I'm the presence of Hashem and I used it as an example of you know meditation is is easy if these kids can do it and adults can do it right so after I finished my talk a lady comes over to me and she says I didn't want to call you out in the middle of your talk but you say this story about these children meditating on Hashem is here shemin's their shame was truly everywhere that I'm the presence of Hashem Hashem is everywhere that's not possible I said it happened to me I was there I mean I meditated with that she's like yeah yeah they said they were meditating and they don't know what that concept is I said but they did it was a beautiful experience and she's like listen I don't want to you know I didn't want to call you out but I'm the head of the department of psychology on campus in fact my specialty is developmental psychology and I'm telling you that children at that age do not have the ability yet to comprehend such a concept as omnipresence that Hashem is everywhere it's just they don't have that cognitively they're not developed enough to understand that idea so it's funny I told you it was a campus Chabad House so a lot of campus locum have their about house in their home so even though it was late the kids were still up and they were running around in other pajamas and I saw a little kid and I said hey you can go like come over here he runs over so what's your name and how old are you says eight years old I said perfect I said where's Hashem he said everywhere I said thank you very much case dismissed so I said to the woman what do you say to that right here she says he doesn't know what he's saying I said you know what I hear I gave you a proof right here living proof trust you you know but I understand I said it I understand why you're resistant to this idea but let me tell you something I can give you an explanation for this where you will not have to rethink everything that you've ever learned because I understand if if this is true she was told it's not possible now we're seeing it is possible so if this is possible then everything she learned though it wasn't true so I told her listen I can explain this to you in a way that gives you permission to not have to reject everything you ever learned okay and you could still accept this truth that an eight-year-old and even a much younger child than that can fathom the idea of I'm being everywhere and here's the explanation Piaget or whatever whatever psychologist it was who figured out what the different developmental you know benchmarks are for a child what they're able to understand at what age he was studying regular kids and regular children their regular kennel their education is about material things they don't talk about spirituality in their education and that's why at that age they didn't yet have the ability to think abstractly however our children are trained to think abstractly they already start thinking about and talking about and relating to spiritual concepts non material non concrete completely abstract concepts from a very I mean from the moment that they are verbal we begin to speak them to them that way so therefore yeah Piaget or whoever it was you know who made these benchmarks he was studying children who were never exposed to that so of course if a child's not exposed to that they have no house saga they have no comprehension of spiritual ideas and abstract things the only another concrete they only know what they can empirically experience what they can touch and taste and hear and smell and five senses but if a child is trained to think about spiritual things that of course they can understand and relate to spiritual things and and that's one of the things happening here in the sukkah the child asks a question about inheritance we say ah hold on a second that's material inheritance let's talk about spiritual inheritance let's continue yeah they're Yiddish killed in eyelid Satan Allah Ayrton our vision every Jewish child in every time in every place has to know as as is a gabon Givaudan the tire stood on Harvester Jerusha they were given
