this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com everyone who I see I'm a kamado cousin with Russia Siva so uh when I was about her 14 15 16 years old there was one safer that had a very big on me I had a rubby in 10th Grade uh raviolio Mesa and he used to learn with us the safer Shari are now Sharia is not a very well-earned safer even in yeshivas that learned mosur I don't think Sharia is usually learned and then one summer he learned with us they are and we learned both Forum cover to cover mamish cover to cover and these two's Farm were the swarma of relatsala petterberg he wrote that we have today was written by Robert so petterberg from Ruby straw we have very little in writing and the shaury are in particular made a very big Russian Mommy and koi as well and the Sharia is all about robusto salanta of the importance of learning mussar Sharia talks about the idea that everybody knows there's a ribana everybody believes in the Revenge song but that yadia makes kamat no rosham on anybody's leave because everybody does her time even though if you would stop and think for a moment is it worth it to do this but we know what the repercussions are nobody would really seriously do it sort of it was yes is that what a person knows does not really affect the way they behave which is a very frightening idea and robitsula says that rabistro was makhadesh that a person could be a hundred percent personally and it's irrelevant in terms of how a person behaves why well said in order to allow for that what you know does not affect you at all you know we live in a generation amuna everyone has a Muna it's not about a Muna who doesn't believe in our colors who doesn't have a hundred rabies is that even if a yid has a hundred percent that Muna it doesn't make erosion on the lathe and the same way Hashem was geyser that if you believe in him it still doesn't affect the way you act Hashem was also good is there that if you're ovied if you work on yourself it puts the hiroshimaim back in your heart this was the biggest and this is brought out in the safe for Shari are it's kadai if there's anywhere in the world to learn it's in it's in this Makkah so I was reading up a little bit about the history of uh this very and I was reading about an individual by the name of Mr Strauss shmuel Strauss he lived in Germany he was a talmud not a talmud he's an acquaintance of the altar of come but we saw salant had three primary disciples Alder of kelm with it so petterberg I'm tally Amsterdam Robbie strong said the altar of kelm is that was his specialty but it's a petterberg is a lambdin naftali Amsterdam was a khasid obviously they were all they're all lambd on him they're all khasidam but these were their foreign Strauss that in order for mashiach to come people need to learn so he needs to set up a muckling of muster and you shall I am to bring mashiach AZ had no money he started off as a banker you know they know the story a little bit basically this is what I read I'm not such an expert in this uh story he had a coat he did his banking out of his code he had a set luck in one pocket he had his money in the other pocket and one time he had to go to a Brisk so he had to take off his coat and put on a Shabbos coat so he put the money in in the one the right side of one pocket and and the set luck on the other side and then he goes to Shabbos and he realizes he has everything in his pocket usually kept it in his coat so he didn't know what to do see what he do with Shabbos he took all his money he threw it down on the floor all the set look he threw it out on the floor and he knew that uh his financial future would be very bleak and he comes back after Shabbos and all the money is there and all that set luck were there and from there on how color spark who benched him he became very wealthy he bought this property and he set up hutzer strassitzburg came here in 1904. Amsterdam came here in 1906 he joined ravitza petterberg I want to share with you something very interesting here in this book it says that the Musser that emanated from this was so palpable it permeated the vicinity that the Arabs called the area musarara musara you know that you stop an hour you invites some Arabs into the Yeshiva you ask them what's the name of the Marco say mussarara because it's a makoi Musa it's entrenched in the stone it's seeped into the walls it's a makoi Musa so I want to share with you a little Kash I had and share with you an idea in the beginning of I didn't see anybody who asked this question but I think it's a very strong question so the poster says he took Lloyd his nephew the escalation who remembers the next words that's all you need to know and all their possessions that they possessed you ready for my question no kidding that they possessed what else do you do with possessions that they possess what else do you do with possessions other than possess them what else could you do with it and the possessions that they looked at the possessions that they they knocked on of course you possess possessions why does it say that one more pasik Lloyd is kidnapped so the plastic says you hear these words they took light and his possessions the son of the brother avram and they left this question I found that Rizal asks that Rizal asks the possessions were not the nephew of avram it says light vs the reason I was so troubled by this question Arizona says the third being Magalia that babli his nashama was in light and therefore it says like foreign so let me tell you a little story story happened right over here so patterburg lived over here well Amsterdam lived over here and being Bali mostly Amsterdam learned Musser two hours every single day not a day would go by that he learned didn't learn two hours of muscle and they would go out into the forest in the area of shimana sadik and they would reprimand themselves and talk to themselves and say you're ready an old man and the enemy says coming and what what have you made of yourself how are you going to give a damn and ravitzilla would do this and would do this and one time they were they would be reprimanding themselves so loudly said whose voice do I hear reprimanding themselves it sounds like what I'm saying and they sort of overhear each other reprimanding themselves and they they bumped into each other and and they confide in each other how they feel like so much of life has passed by and they haven't accomplished yet and they said it's it's terrible robusto cilantro rebe's not alive anymore what are we supposed to do so they said you know we only have one eighth son okay we're talking about two of The Godly had the only eights is we need a rebbe so now we live in a generation where somebody knows already how to read with with Rashi with the English translation they I'm already I don't need a rebbe the good oil um felt that in order to grow Antonio they could be in their 80s they still need a revi so they said we have no alternate we have to go to the Revolution was the nephew it was the son-in-law of represent and we're going to go through because and we're going to say you're the rough of this city you need to provide us with Sarabi and if you're not going to do it so you have to show us who could be our Rabbi so they go to revitalant and he what he thought this was a humorous question that would come to him that they need a rebbe and he listens to them you know he he humors them but he saw how sincere they were and how much they really wanted to Arabi so he gave the following sack he said you go to in Berlin you go to abuse so they said okay they said until how long do we need to sit by the feet of Arabia until you learned something you didn't know before these These are nothing they're going to be sitting by these Robin forever and ever it's never so little Patrick knocks on the door of behind Berlin Berlin stands up why is coming to me and and he the pemali says you know I feel my growth in in your shamayim and Taurus has plateaued I need a rebbe to be able to continue to grow and Cumberland didn't know what to say he said uh I I I can't be your Webby but I can't in my sarvin legado he didn't know what to say he said uh okay come tonight I'm giving a share we'll learn together and revitala petterberg sat at the feet of Berlin until one matzah Shabbos head yard site so he sends a message to Requiem Berlin I can't come to share tonight because I have yard sight for my father this week foreign because I want to tell you something that I learned from who learned from the minagirushalayam is that the matsei Shabbos before a yard site you don't Daven for the Umar why it's a lack of because why do does a person why doesn't Allah only say college for 11 months because normally the rasham in gehennam they're there for 12 months the person doesn't want to say that their parents was a Russia so they only say kadish for 11 months likewise the reason to say this before the yard side is in order to get the father out of gehennam but it's not covered to assume the father is in ganim so you shall lie him you don't Daven for the ahmud the mat for the yard sign but Victor said really I didn't know and he made the mistake he said I didn't know that he said great I thought you didn't know that now I don't have to be a rebbe anymore and you don't have to listen to that I just told you go Daven for the umud and you know have a good day you know the the game is over but naftali was still at it and Ralph thought he was going to aggressive time zone and felt until one day reviews who by the way was also very involved over here according to what I read he was the became the president of Hudson Strauss in 1899 reviews every day we say an Imam said very passionate if somebody would say look look out the window mashiach is here what would you think to yourself you know like yeah good one right so so that's exactly the point so long as we still think when somebody says Michelle is here good one so we may see still come and then um okay you didn't know that you know you don't need me anymore so the question is why would two gidear need a rebbe Riverside previous track it's one of the places as a Young Man the base halavi once asked the question and gave an answer give another answer and was sitting there and he didn't say a word and they were wondering whether this robisla knows how to learn and later they looked in the Prius and the basalavis Kasha was there and the salavis turrets was there no problems turrets was there this man needs a Webby Amsterdam needs a reppi what do they need a rubby for so here's the deal there's a very big mistake out there that it's enough to learn Torah learning Tyra thorough I learned Tyra I do what I have to do and I'm I what more do I need to do what more could I do the answer is it's not enough to learn Tyra the Torah has to be coursing through your veins the toy has to become part of you the person's personality has to be infused with type where the person becomes one with the Torah so how does a person connect to the time that level where they're not just I understand we come to Yeshiva and we learn morning say that we learn afternoon sailor but how do you elevate yourself where you're not just learning Target becomes part of you part of doing that one way to do that a very important key in doing that is because a human being is not a computer and Toya is not mathematics if toe is mathematics so you just learn three plus three is six six times six is 36. the toe is not just uh intellectual discipline Taurus dasilicus and we're basavadam and what makes an influence what influences a person another person another human being and the Torah has to be transferred to you through the vehicle of another person another Webby writes that every person in their life works is you don't have to find the biggest guy in the biggest Sadiq in the world even someone who you think is less than you but in your mind you psychologically say okay this person is my rebbe so when I learn from this person it makes a different level Roy shim on me it's not just something I know it enters my nisham it enters my mind it enters my heart my lathe so if it's La petterberg in his 80s when he's ready to go to recognized for him to continue to have Aliyah and rochnius he has to connect with another mm-hmm some people Daven and some people are so connected to davening that they become one with the Fila like said Fila some people appreciate Shalom so valued Shalom he says and some people are into their things and they're so into their things that it's not just they own a car or they have a suit or they have a Zach they're the guy with that Zach that thing defines who they are you know yeah some people they have a nice car and some people they're the guy with that car it's like their whole matseus is is defined by their car by their house by their whatever they have you know in the beginning of uh Hashem speaks to avram and by the middle of the parashah only after Lloyd leaves avraham says Rashi why would Hashem only speak to avram after Lloyd left says well she's so long as light was with avram Hashem would not talk to avram so then why did Hashem speak to him in the beginning of the passage so obviously Lloyd in the beginning of the PowerShot he's a good guy and by the middle of the Powershell he went sour what caused light to go sour he saw sodium he wanted sodaim he wanted kashmias he wanted this world so badly you know who light became Lloyd's name was he became the guy with that car he wasn't Lloyd Bernard he is now defined as Lloyd vasai his Essence was his he became one with his money with his possessions his goshmias was him and then the way we identify him is also thank you but we could say in the beginning of the Powershell light was still a good guy so the beginning of the power show the Torah says you know what avraham and Lloyd's attitude was towards U es their possessions were just what they happen to own that's the attitude you should have tagashmias what I have is just what I happen to have that's all is we asked what else do you do with what else you could do with it is what happened to light what happened to light was you know what he did with his it became who he was what happened to Lloyd Lara is the converse of the Bali masur who lived in this they were not lame de Tyra it's not enough to learn Tyra you could go so far as to say a person could learn Tyra and it could be it doesn't make a right amount of person because it's not enough just to be limeade person has to become one with the Torah people who have a rebbe people connect with their connection with the tars on a much deeper level you know Hazel give us many techniques of Habibi matsulation because I'll say ashram says if you write if you write Marsha says it makes a deeper rosham on a person say and the PIV when you say the words of Torah it makes a deeper Russian explains it doesn't always says when you say Torah if you just learn you're learning with your math if you if you're with your mind if you say the words Marshall says your whole body vibrates the martial says so not only is your your mind learning your some learning your feet are learned your whole body is learning it's called out smoysai because it's not enough to learn you have to figure out how are you going to get the gemara Believe by into your personality that was the the great teaching of the valley Amazon would say the greatest distance in the whole world is the distance between the mind and the Heart because everybody knows what to do but it's a matter of feeling it Aesop's head is also buried in the marasana because asav knew just as much as everybody else but it was the PIV the avoida of limited is to get it from your mind into your heart so you have a head start over here you're learning Tyra in the Makai where the very stones are infused with this idea even the list they call this is the makoim of Musa this is the messiah in this place that your liminal Torah should be able to transform you and Elevate you and there's a sashem you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you factoriaanytime.com
