This Torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com. I get the work. We have the greatest here to be here in the the house. I love Shilo Karasteer. And it's a big privilege to hear words of Hakdama from Reb Gross Slita who's an anacle. His wife is a great granddaughter of Reb Shilo. Shilo's son was Reb Avram. His son was Reb Meir Yosef. Son-in-law Reb Meir Yosef. His Reb Meir Yosef's son was Reb Mendel Rubin. And then And then Reb Gross who has very important uh I get the work. And so good friends. I'll try to speak in English. We'll put it on the over here. So good friends the host of the Kush of a guest. It's an honor to have these people come for Shabbos. They chose to come to this place. And I hope they they had a nice Shabbos here. And they'll be able to take home all the issues that we should have the roof Amen. Amen. So we have no you're going to say it. We have over here We have over here Reb Gross is showing us the safer Alei Shmuel from the Reb Shver. From an Adam from from Shilo. An Adam from Reb Shilo who he brings over here that before the ptira of Reb Shilo they asked Reb Shilo what are we going to do without you because we know Reb Shilo was mispallel for so many Yidden and he was poel yeshuos for so many Yidden. What's Klal Yisrael going to do without him? So it's brought in the safer Alei Shmuel of This is the Reb Shmuel Gross. Reb Shilo said as follows. He says Kodem Tiras Shishah Asar Nichmanias Sanu. Heishiv Sheve Im Yavoiu LeBeisi If you come to his house you voshiu K'Mayim Rabbim. You'll be saved like you were saved now. So that is a Siyata Dishmaya we hope Reb Mispallel that by coming to this house and partaking of the Siyata Dishmaya Malcha and being part of the Shabbos together with Tzaddikim Chaverim Reb Hashem should be Mashpia on all of us Shefa Bracha VeHatzlacha Yeshuos VeNechamos Asirus Toyvois G'zunt Parnasa BeRevach VeMaleh Hashem Kol Mishalos Libeinu LeToyva. Amen. I could share with you one thought. So we were speaking now you know this phenomenon Reb Shilo of Karasteer. I don't know when I was a kid I'm not sure if people heard about Reb Shilo. I'm sure the Mishpacha of course and people maybe more in the Chassidish world of course heard. But I don't know that I heard Reb Shilo Karasteer. It's for sure a more recent phenomenon. What? We did. Reb Yossi Stern says he did. But They all Everyone here says they heard. So I'm the only one who's who's telling the truth and saying that I I didn't know better. But uh certainly in the last 10 years I think it's definitely become a it's a phenomenon that's gained a lot of momentum. You know it's definitely gaining momentum. Reb Gross says every year double the amount of people that come over here. So we try to explain a little bit Ein D'varim Gedolim Einam BeMikreh. It's not coincidental that you know certain Mekomos and certain Kevorim and certain Rebbes they have a Mazel. And you know they gain momentum. And Reb Shilo certainly has gained tremendous momentum over the last couple years. What's the P'shat? So just one thought. There's a a comment the Sfas Emes brings from the Noam Elimelech. He says even though the world stands on three things Torah Avoda and Gemilus Chassadim not every Z'man does the world stand on the same thing. Until the Arizal the world stood on Torah. From the Arizal on it stands on Gemilus Chassadim. That's what the Sfas Emes brings in Avos Perek Alef Mishna Bais. The Kotzker we have with us Reb Josh Seiden who's a big fan of the Kotzker. The Kotzker says like this. That in the Doros Acharonim before Mashiach comes there won't be as many people learning Torah. However Yirbu Ha'iskim BeTzedaka VeHaGeula Ha'Amittis will come BeGlaot Tzedaka. That's what the Kotzker Rebbe says. So to me you know I was a little bit troubled by these statements especially growing up in Yeshiva we all know how the Talmud Torah Inyan family the the emphasis and Gemilus Chassadim Tzedaka the big Mitzvos but nobody says they're bigger Mitzvos than Talmud Torah. So what what do these statements mean that in a certain way in the end of days Gemilus Chassadim and Tzedaka will be greater than Torah? What's the P'shat? So I want to explain it with a Gain. A Gain. The Imagine the Gain is going to tell us how Tzedaka and Chesed be greater than Torah. The Gain is in Sha'ar HaYichud. The Gain says like this. Reb Yochanan Ben Zakkai and Reb Yehoshua were walking. They're walking away from the Churban. And Reb Yehoshua was crying. What's going to be We have no Beis HaMikdash. So Reb Yochanan Ben Zakkai said well we have a Kapara greater than that. What is it? Gemilus Chassadim. What about what about Torah? Why why did Reb Yochanan Ben Zakkai say Gemilus Chassadim? What about Torah? So the Gain says like this. Al Shlosha D'varim Ha'Olam Omed. Al Torah Avoda and Gemilus Chassadim. There's only one Amud that we still have today. He says Avoda we don't have Korbanos. Torah we don't really have Torah today says the Gain. Why? Malcha VeSoreha BaGoyim It's Pasuk in Eichah. Malcha VeSoreha BaGoyim Ein Torah. Here me it says there's no Torah says the Gain. What's the P'shat Ein Torah? So he quotes from Maseches Chagiga. The Maseches Chagiga says there are 600 Sedarim of the Mishna. And today we only have six. So there's a big Shilo what we lost Sedarim of Mishna. When did we lose the Churban and times of early Tanaim later Tanaim. But what that means is the Torah that we have today is not the full glory of the Torah. In fact the Rishonim write when the Gemara has a Shilo on the Mishna the Mishna is very hard to read and the Gemara says Chaserim Achserah VeHachiga Tani. What's the P'shat Chaserim Achserah VeHachiga Tani? The Rishonim say originally the Mishna was much bigger. Rebbi Rebbi did not Rebbi took the original Mishna and he condensed it. He took words out. Chaserim Achserah VeHachiga Tani means this is what it said in the original Mishna when there were 600 Sedarim in the Mishna. Now we have a condensed version. So the Gain says Avoda we don't have in its full glory. Torah we don't have in its full glory. The only Amud that we have today that's the same as it always was is uh Gemilus Chassadim. So could be as we come to the Achris HaYamim and we come to Yemos HaMashiach and we have to hold on to the one thing that we still have. So Kodem Yemos HaMashiach it's like our Nishamos are drawn to the Mitzva of Gemilus Chassadim. And therefore in this time the world is drawn to the Tzaddik Reb Shilo who was renowned for this Inyan. And as a Siyata Dishmaya and that's a Z'chus we hope through this last Amud that we have Reb Hashem should bring the Achris HaYamim and Eliyahu HaNavi as a Shamash Yishlacheinu Bimheira VeYameinu Amen.
