Norbert's most people learn so many of them can see the ground sauce Amos says they've changed our attitude towards the material world but he says ain't no odds when you see mu leader sit there now settling opposite me in direct contradiction it's not one long party it's not one long series and sequences of indulgence that gosh me as they say has Vulcanus they say there are no taters of condition you have to squeeze it I often think of there was a story they used to tell about Jew New York gets lost wandering around and he whines and winds up in an Irish neighborhood and he's looking for a place to escape blisteringly hot August day walks into a tavern sits down at the end of the bar and orders a cold glass of beer two Irishmen burly Irishmen sitting at the other end of the bar and they're having a contest that taking oranges and seeing who can squeeze the orange and produce more juice just with his hand this is going on for about 15-20 minutes finally they take note of the little Yid sitting at the other end they slide down a glass and in orange and they say okay Joe let's see what you can do very very nonplussed unimpressed this little Yid says please give me the orange that you just squeezed they're astounded I slide down the arch day they just squeeze two other this year takes the squeezed orange Rhys Cui's is it and fills up an overflowing glass of juice how'd you do that I'm a fundraiser for a Jewish organization okay let's take that paradigm and the Jew says all of the gosh meanness of the world if you squeeze it correctly you know the code the methodology you're accessing gosh is that please the warmness and it's the only way to get to the erroneous was that a hope the other day I was reminded isn't it fascinating do the Hooper under the stars what a mystical poetic moment in the life of a person daft under the stars Daffy get connecting to the mystique in this dirt the history how unique each star is the multitude of different various shapes and forms what's the first thing you do after you recite the Bilkis lucas and so you read the zubur what is the silver it's a worse scenario description of the obligations of the hustle to the collar isn't that jarring isn't that a contradiction no that's the genius of the jus solar moods of outer relation magician Iowa it doesn't connect to shamaya unless it's matzah out famous madness deals with the question of why may Shalaby no hurt Sandra benneesham that Eden had made a Nagle he waits till he comes down and sees for himself and then breaks it breaks the Lukas Metis says it's in order that if a dying conceived for himself he should in fact wait to see no no credibility gap he heard from the Ravenna shadow but the mother says it's to be instructive to teach us but he also says there was a pizza way it was a compensation here that though the first Lucas had a certain dimension of spirituality one could look at the osseous and all of the tailor chappal pair that was needed came through seeing the ISIS subsequently Lucas Nia's it would be shocked love Italian question answer discussion helpless unum is a different silver finish about their baser lady says that in a sense by Lucas with shyness special lady in the tuber sky says that the first Lucas wasn't yes well vocalist boffin the tailor had who yet because the whole kedusha was in the Asia's the second localized the body and percent of the Jew becomes the class on now which is written the Taylors about their the traditional pair in its internalization now becomes one and parcel and part part and parcel of the of the person to new Mattias that's what's needed in the in the world now post locally shyness the benefit I says that there was an s from of wrong to measure a banal that though the Turner was transmitted by pair there was no graph yet it was authentic and Emmas as if it had been written back south unless Romare simply says that by maim areva had mentioned have been of spoken to the seller instead of hitting it it would have been a reinforcement of who I am SR kylus everybody would witness what the sounds impacted the nest that that was achieved implied is that that's a nest that has to be maleva Claudia Seoul in history one possibility is the Rambam pan Tishkoff every time we learned we have to simulate what was or was the moment at Sinai the kylus the Balkan but I would also include OMS Achilles fast fold we come to Rabi a slash a slash Emma felt herself and tarish about PES committed to writing the novena of washi if they're going to commit it to writing all of the Milas of tailors about there are them forfeited the fact that you need a Rebbe the a sigma tailor the are mailers it's all written now there's to be a converse ness that though it's written it remains Leah Mazar kylus it remains a tailor's about there that's why you see from the Rambam serially from castle itself that they could be an extra word everything had to be below her play dish the exactly calibrated so that we could be mad iuck and perhaps with that we can get a handle on something if I'm a Kodesh says that they are no he nice enough Nathan as a brothel Sbrocco shad Tish moon this is their favor cottage the Asha Tishman is because schmear is internalized don't say a seer doesn't say schmear let's a schmear it means the limited Taylor has to be internalized brings the sister Ava that a more shoppers mark seal achiever of course that needs a qualification we know elsewhere from castle that there's a description of a Tom will chain or Holcomb perhaps that's only one sheet but there is a concept an idea that is brought again that if it's the counter if it's to reject or to utilize the halacha in inappropriate fashion then that's not in the category of stub and I'm always even somebody who was acting with riches but in his tailor per se the more Shaba can be marks in the motive of initially tequila if it's the lotion has a less exact you're talking about all the all the more Shabbos Marxism would do and the other Kaiba cottage himself brings this for Taylor's about that we talk about light you not talking about sound that NASA very mr. caylor's one might make the case that the ravenna column is marked him always there were food to the market we heard you sure just spoke about the door on which we lived the challenge remember thirty years ago the spiral shaft with my daughter had become a collar with baka from politician of shock had been very involved in the we were drinking a lot I am and he was saying what's different about our door thirty years ago then the matzo was in Lita Lita they will feed him that learn for an extended period of time shot said because the tumors whole gas burner whole the lack of any norms any any kind of restrictions that was 30 years ago what would he say today and so perhaps we might say that the ribbon Islam is marked in little food to the market that post CMAs a Talmud post the redaction of the Talmud arena Vashi we have now finish about their big south will lawyer Meza kindness because we live in a dog where we needed we needed to see that all of the osseous the Marsha ball marks in the mood of the all in the AI seus of tailors about pair it had to be visualized for our dog as a preventative innocent equal for a door of princes tumor that is whole gate in their halls I think it's true for all of us I know it's true for all of us and it's a car Bahama been be no shock a performer that it's true for about tumor potential Bolivar often happens here in awesome air that bottle will come over after he's heard some of the lectures been here for a while many of the lectures come over to one of the Rabanne to mean and I say okay rabbi I've heard the lectures I give it to me straight I'm pretty persuaded this stuff - now the truth how long am I in for the ideal day to leave awesome air would be if that day you were crossing the ocean in a ship and you got hit by lightning it got marooned on a desert island with a game ovah a Vilnius Yas if you wouldn't be bored that's the day to leave because then you've reached the point of having a sense of pleasure and aesthetic pleasure where we call the schmuck you're enjoying the learning but it takes a certain amount of effort to get to that point but that's what the neshamah is yearning for and that is what is the comprehensive whole Soviet sport we're talking about pots and pans and pits and contracts what does it have to do with spirituality no that's the Sewell emotes about so it's the nitty gritty of human existence is all encompassed but meanwhile on the way there while you're watching those Shabbos homes while you're still a spectator and you're just putting your toe in the water you have to be engaged your imagination to get to the point that when you leave this comprehensive view that you you have a Talmudic worldview Michelle Hosmer says in viola that amasau were freed of the obligation of earning a livelihood in the mid ba so that they can be devoted to learning immersed in learning and they were a sophisticated literate community and therefore we can take seriously their endorsement of their leadership we know who rebelled was a minority and that would be a model for a total community throughout history democracy conditional democracy there's a literacy test you pass the literacy test were interested in your point of view fellow goes down to dasa and he's told he needs a certain surgical procedure there's a waiter and a waiter and I'm going down to the corner of Jaffa and King George and I'm going to ask the first thousand people that come by do they agree patent absurdity because one surgeon one experts opinion is infinitely more valuable than hundreds of storekeepers venture capitalist lawyers even politicians and so we want experts i remember hearing it in the name the bishop there son of a cheeks itself that somebody's out in the nature hike it comes to a ravine that traversed by a bridge and he's told fellow put this bridge together was a poet never went to school to study engineering he took it on as his lifelong hobby of last 30 years and he built this bridge said the bishop buried pay is a tourist to go see that bridge I'd be very reluctant to cross it in a vehicle alone Wahda with my family to bridge between Dallas you need engineers of Allah the Bob Hoover has to get to the point where he has to know who's Muslim as an engineer of Halawa who's not Muslim he has to came to a level of sophistication so that he can vote the way we like to put it here no samara is the owner my tailor there's a democracy of opportunity but there's an aristocracy of opinion you can get to be part of that aristocracy just become relation but until you are at least have that level of scholarship that you can vote intelligently who are those people and so step one the debtor Hashem says if somebody is not learning the contr he's not learning to be might see the hollow ha from its context he's learning merely as Hosmer that's a beginning as a hakama as other cosmos because we begin with a deficit in a world that deep down understands the he saw as a novice they know that we've changed the vel dumps on the house coffer the worldview what is gosh Mears it's a resource to looseness and at one level it's an indictment of anybody that doesn't own up to that because as we just heard under the Shama level there is that sensitivity to that awareness and so the Revolution gave us a boost in our generation that we can be lawyers a kindness we can look and see you amara be normal of Oishi we can see the highest the viable over and the all that's there in those ashes the or the light of the sound will Ramos Icarus that's what's meant AAHA the name is what brings to the aesthetic pleasure smear you hear sound sequentially we hear sound a and B which take colors of a surface Linda Schmoyer yes a and B together two new sound C rear you can see panoramic Lee we have to be very messy careless to get to the point where we see the entire picture finally my beat says that the look was the way we have them there are many cheaters but the basilar Kimmy says they're much less osseous in the bottom life a very than we have in the way it's lined up may not on the welcome early in descending order says the basilar Kim says they may be there for the osseous in the vein autumn la cámara had to be larger I assume what he means he says it's in order to be mod Guiche to emphasize through the davis that would be the big challenge the weak underbelly of cleinias olivine alumina Ferreira I assume he's assuming that since the AI seus held the Lucas not to look was the osseous they had to be had to be balanced so they had to be larger but it comes out of that here you have to be close to here what can you expect of someone whose father didn't learn that then darvany didn't hear the Cuyler table the Baron gave every Jew the potential to be lawyer Messick itis to see the sounds he can see what is unique about our communities and our families as we just heard every Jew has that capacity does it mean that we have become non human beings no but other ABBA gambits any honest with a Herkimer Famer giving all our scars and warts and limitations look what a seabird has been created by mere human beings because of these colors because of the cafeteria that butum a seekers of Terra is something that is happening is being shared and can be shared that much more but after 45 stunning the 46th year in awesome air we remain more convinced that it's AMS Aquinas that is the clear of tarish about their learned and lived that makes the difference of the quality and the longevity of the chief ER the venetian should give us all the chaos to do what we can do [Music] you [Applause]
