Balto
shalom.
He had a unique ways [music] of teaching
his students different things. And one
day he told his students, you need to
learn how to eat form shine.
You need to learn how to eat for the
sake of heaven.
Now we've all learned the the concept of
you need to learn Torah for the sake of
heaven meaning not to become a rabbi not
to become a famous speaker [music] not
to uh tell people you know more than
them but rather for the sake of heaven
just because so to learn Torah for the
sake of heaven that we understand but to
eat for the sake of heaven what I do two
instead of one I'm already doing is not
enough no you have to eat for the sake
of heaven how can we learn how to he
goes go to the village
find out person
go to his house ask him to host you for
a few days and you'll learn so tin going
to the village
and he asks anybody know who Mos is what
he says what do you want Mo why would
you even want what do you have with Mo
you need to meet him you know the rabbi
said he goes he lives in that house and
go suit yourself so they went to the
house they knock on the door they see a
big guy you know one of those people
like you look like you ate a couple
people one of those people answer the
door say Hello. How How can I help you?
Oh, listen. You know, we were just here
in town and we're wondering if you maybe
could host us. Uh, you know, we can stay
by you. Yeah. Okay. Wait. Have a seat.
I'm just about to eat. So, you can join
me. Okay. So, they sit down and they see
a feast. A feast on the table. Enough
for 50 people. But he is by himself.
And he has a feast. Yeah, you can have
some if you want. So, you just eat one a
normal size plate. [music] and he has an
entire turkey and he has steak and he
has uh jullet and he has spaghetti and
he's got this. He's got all types of
things [music] and they're looking like
who else is coming here?
When is he [music] going to eat all
this? This is for like a week and they
start seeing what should they start
eating and it's revolting. First of all,
it's never nice to see people eat. But
aside from that, to see somebody eat a
lot.
Now, unless you love the person, that's
cute. But other than that,
anyway, they start [music] seeing this
giant eat, and he's eating and eating,
and he already finished. They finished
normal food. And he's eating and eating
and eating and more. And then he finally
finished the big plate. And they figure,
okay, Starbucks finished. He must be
full already for a week. He moves the
pl. It's like shelf system. And he
continues eating and eating and
consuming more. And [music] you're like,
how does his stomach fit all of this?
He's a big guy, but it just seems like
he just doubled his weight. How? How?
Finally, 2 hours he's eating lunch. 2
hours.
But not two hours because there's a nice
conversation going, a few here and
there. Nothing. Eating for 2 hours
straight. After 2 hours, they want to
vomit already. But [music] what are you
going to do? They have to be there.
They're still trying to figure out.
Maybe the balento sent us for the wrong
address.
What can we learn from this bama?
[music] This animal.
Okay, listen. We got to pray. You guys
pray? Yeah. Yeah, we pray. Pray. And
they're [music] thinking to themselves,
pray. Pray that we get out of here as
soon as possible. Okay, we pray. Okay,
I'll go pray. They go pray
as soon as the prayer is finished. Okay,
guys. Finish prayer. We got dinner.
What? What do you mean? Got to eat
dinner. My wife made dinner. I think if
we just what to get to the house only a
couple hours have passed. It's food
bigger than the last serving and he for
two more hours he's eating two more
hours he's eating. Now they look around
the house there's no books. So this
guy's not tell like this guy is uh he's
eating like you know
the the sage from the was also enormous
enormous and he would eat an enormous
amount and somebody complained to says
your son is eating so much. He goes no
no no watch him I I'm the one that gives
him the food. But look what he does
after he eats. After they saw him eat as
much as he did, he learned to walk for
30 hours [music] straight standing.
30 hours straight. This break, no that
break. 30 hours straight.
Shimon knew that his son was kadosh. He
needed all the strength in the world to
learn Torah the way he did. Anyway, so
this guy prayed, eating. They figured,
you know what, there must be it must be
a [music] sadiki style, like a hidden
sadik. All the books are probably behind
the walls. So, we're going to all
pretend we're going to go to sleep.
We're going to pretend we're going to go
to sleep. We're going to wake up in the
middle of night to see where he take out
the books and probably he's learning
Kapala. He's learning, I don't know,
he's learning the new about the zah or
he's learning something in the no one
ever saw. This guy must be something.
The bump doesn't make mistakes. He just
sent us over here to watch. Doesn't make
any sense.
They pretend to go to sleep. They peek
[music] at night. The guy is snoring
like he hasn't slept in his life. Not
waking up in the [music] middle of the
night. Nothing. Finally in the morning,
the animal wakes up
and they're thinking to themselves,
"Something's wrong here." It's [music]
like, "Okay, guys, we got to pray. We
got to pray. Oh. Oh, you pray. Okay,
let's pray. Okay, we got to do quick
though. I got I got breakfast." What?
You hungry from yesterday thinking to
themselves. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Come
on. Let's go guys. Yala. Let's go. Start
putting on feeling. Everybody's put on
the feeling quickly. Quickly. You know,
like not a safari hour prayer. No, no,
your house, you do an hour prayer. Over
here, we do quick 25 minutes, half hour,
we're finished.
Pray quick. Got breakfast. I'm hungry.
Finish [music] praying.
Got a feast like he never ate in his
life. 2 hours he's [music] eating. Every
meal is 2 hours. Just to afford the
food, you have to have a lot of money.
But needless to say, [music] a big
stomach. But this guy's eating. And they
don't understand. after watching this
for three days [music] every day three
huge meals no Torah whatsoever keeps the
basics of mitzvah like you know all say
and all put on to fill in but nothing
more than average nothing that's not not
can't even call needless to say after 3
days they couldn't take it anymore and
they told us
what's what is this like why do you eat
so much
sent us here. He told us that you're a
holy person. Well, all we're seeing is
you eat.
What makes you so holy?
So the big mo says to them, he says, I
don't [music] know why he thinks I'm
holy, but I can tell you why I eat so
much. Said Years ago, my father was a
very righteous man. He
did different business. We would go from
door to door selling little things to
different people. Whatever he had, he
would sell. [music] If he had sacks to
sell, he would sell sacks. If you had
toys to sell, he'd sell toys. Different
things you would sell just to make a
living. Very honest person, very
righteous person. One day, he knocked on
the door and a group of Christians
opened the door and said, "Who are you?"
And they see a Jew in front of them and
say, "Uh,
did you ever hear [music] about Yoske?
Did you ever hear about this Isaiah 53,
Daniel 9?" All this nonsense that they
do for the same thing for for for
hundreds of years. The trick hasn't
changed.
And he says [music] to them, "Yeah,
yeah, I know about all that nonsense he
teach. I'm not interested." "No, but
don't you know about?" He said, "Yeah, I
know."
He tells them, "May his name be blotted
out." Because that's that's what he
knows. The rabbi says, "You mention's
name, you have to insult him." Says,
"It's avah from to make fun of idol
worship." SO HE'S FULFILLING A TELLING
HIM TO THEIR face
of yours. Now they got angry. What? They
grabbed him and they said, "Listen, if
you don't now convert to Christianity,
we're going to burn you alive.
Front of your family going to burn you."
He says, "I'm never converting." They
tied him up. They tied him up and they
burned him alive. Burned him alive. And
the kid now today, he says, "I saw the
whole thing." And I said to myself, "My
abba, my abba died on kushashem. My abba
died on kadushe."
He was such a little guy. Took 5 minutes
for him to die. 5 minutes ago, the whole
body was consumed. Now what I'm going to
do? I'm going to eat so much. So when
these these missionaries come to me one
day, I'm going to be so big and so fat
it's going to take hours to burn my body
so I can fulfill the even longer.
And he says to them, "Every day, [music]
I eat as much as I can and I also pray
for them to come to me and tell me to
die for the sake of Hashem."
Theim of the Bentto [music] says, "Now
we know why you're kadosh. Now we know
why you're kadosh."
In the past generations, Abu Tayim,
our grandparents,
even if they weren't,
many of them were still why because
maybe they didn't have all of the Torah
knowledge that perhaps some of [music]
the scholars did, but many of them had
fantastic character traits,
a huge amount of Emm
despite the difficulties that they would
deal with regardless of whether they
were in Russia or in the Middle East
somewhere.
And even more than anything else, a
dedication to Hashem,
a unrelenting dedication to Hashem in
their own small way where they kept
certain things, where they [music] knew
certain things and they stuck to them no
matter what.
