Journey to London 2024: Principles of Talmud Torah Derived From Reading the Megillah {Purim}

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com learning tonight and I want to thank my dear friend who brought me here to edar I want to thank my dear friend rnas wler who's uh m in helping with all the sh I uh I came here but I myself was the learning here in edar it's really remarkable sorry let's start this again the learning here in henden is really remarkable and down the block is also okay good to know I want to share with you a a question In ldas from which we could derive important principles in this is a question that is known as it's a a well-known question tells us the following principle from learning and we come to hear the Milla so let's say you're middle of your say there you're middle of Thursday night what is this called mishmar say there super say there super mishar regular night say it's a regular night in hen very good you're middle of a say there comes mikra the time for mik Mill you have to close the gar you have to come to the sh and you have to hear the reading of the but the language of the is and the well known question is why does thear refer to this as this is how's it so I close my and I open up m m is also you know thear is not the only thing that got on last week in it says just like a bride has 24 ornaments to know the 24 books of T you know there were great the everybody knows you know made a c on every year made a on tanak every year one the great old time poov Kami was a buy not only in tanak but in the TR of tanak meaning not only did he know every single word of tanak he knew proficiently the TR and the not only the trop the meaning the Nuance of meaning of each trp of every word on tanak in fact he once gave a Shear of the meaning of that it has whenever you see that TR it has a certain meaning and connotation so they told over to said no it can't be but there's a and it doesn't fit the mold of so they went back to and they told ra he says Raa knows the TR but he forgot about the changes the TR on that word so great people were proficient not only in the gar not only in the Nim not only in the TR but the meaning of the Trap so how could the say I mean there's G is there not a g in fact did you know there's only one that the says there has to be that there is a you know there is but it doesn't say anywhere in there has to be there is but doesn't say there has to be but did you know there's a in that says there has to be on the says did you know in a way is the most important because the itself says there has to be so why does the gamar call it good Kasha right so I want to share with you a few of the answers of the on this and from their answers we're going to derive important principles off the bat I'll tell you there's a famous chuva in the B of of maras and now is not the time maybe on a different occasion has a interesting that MRA G even though it's part of tanak is not part of TOA huh it's only part of tanak regarding reading it as a document on purm it's not part of tanak in terms of getting and goes to how could you say such a thing he doesn't believe it's like would say such a thing so then what the whole is a waste of time time because it's explaining a document that's not technically part of the so once wanted to say you remember ever and further all about 15 or 16 different where the says that that before he would give his he would he would introduce it with a from from and using that PK he would begin his shig now if you have any aspiring ranam here or anybody ever wants to speak the best way to start air is to start by speaking about melester nobody in history ever tried to grab someone's attention by starting a with a I mean that's like the most backward way of trying to get anyone's attention and yet the G says there were that always begin their sh with a so I thought maybe according to that technically migas eser is not actually part of Tyra so so if and if they're going to give a shiram aillis eser the only way to so to speak grandfather in as part of uh the shear of toyra would be to start the shear from A P that is T and use that and elaborate on that and then use that to get into but that's I'm just throwing that out for your personal enjoyment okay but I want to share with you two other answers three other answers another L answer you ready for this answer this is you know they now have like a fat safer like this and it says on the on the book binding it says Bas oh wow such a big saeron saer Bas then when you see another one that says you realize that the first one wasn't on saer barus it was on Paras Bas and when you see the entire shelf gets you to you know that they have now from sh massive SW on each par in the T so he was a prolific writer mugar also wrote notes on the called and there he says the following he says that if somebody let's say tomorrow night wants to learn and they want to open up M and they learn do they get of course they get however says basically the principle is you can't kill two birds with one stone there are two MIT in the one Mitzvah is T one Mitzvah is listening to Mela or reading the Mela so if at the time of the reading of the Milla you say you know right now I would like to be m in the midst of learning great you'll be m in the midst of learning but you won't get credit for the Mitzvah of mikra Milla and if you say okay right now I would like to be M the Mitzvah of mikra Milla that's great wonderful just you won't get credit for the Mitzvah you can't be M to mitz with one act now that itself is like a whole right I mean you could think about various scenarios for example everybody knows the somebody was in the middle of learning and they get to so does that mean and you don't get credit for according to does it mean you get credit for sh and you don't get credit for or let's say by so if I'm do I not get credit for the Mitzvah of no because the Mitzvah of is tal that's the Mitzvah the Mitzvah of is tal actually is the most important T that a Jew does the whole week it's called tal it's but that's but I was asked to give and so far I'm telling you L and you know I might get in very big trouble for not following you see in America if they tell you what to speak about it's okay you could speak about something else they're not very proper in America but I was told that in henden everyone's very proper and if they tell you to giveus you giveus so I say that Jews getos from hearing toyra when your soul hears it's right Josh even Josh says but I want to do it in the proper way I want to tell you two answers of from which we could learn uh important principles in the realm of number one the writes in that the truth is m is so then why is it called when you close the G and you hear the says because it takes 1.5 seconds to close the gar and start listening to the m and in that second and a half you are from learning so M and while while you're hearing the Milla it's Tyra but you know until you walk to the sh and until they start I don't know about America like I told you it's like a different world over there but you have all these kids and they get their party snappers going a little bit early and they you know it falls on the floor and then the laning is delayed another 3 seconds all the downtime in between your Li and Milla is wasted time it's B so the reason why it's called is because whenever you're in middle of something a slight transition a slight change in Pace a slight segue to another topic that already is a little bit of a b and it's something to think about you know somebody's in the middle of learning and they're thinking should I just go do you know it will just take me a few moments no big deal so it's always it's something to think about that the accountability for our time in this world is to such an extent where the says Mela if I may this is one of my big uh the there's no one who appreciates the value of time more than the Yara so he says okay you read tus Kasha just check your phone it will only take 3 seconds the argument of the is because he values time so much do you do you appreciate how much the values time it's worth it for him to make a yid lose out on those small amounts of time because he appreciates the value of every moment of tamay I want to share with you another answer given by Ruger in the and Ruger says look there's no question mikra is T and if somebody would learn sit down and learn the Milla with Ma and learn it analytically and learn it in a very deep way that in fact would be T however if someone's at say there in hen and they're learning gamar and they're learning tus and they're arguing with their Kusa and they're delving into it and they're really learning with with passion they're learning with Focus they're learning with in an immersive way and then they close their gamar and they sit back you know and they fold up their legs and they and they just hear somebody rattle off M where they're not really learning it in a profound way they're just reading it so of course learning the milla's tamaa but when you're learning something in depth and you transition to a more superficial type of learning this is what is known in the as qualitative qual which really means if somebody's learning but they're not really applying themselves they could really be applying themselves more they could give it more Focus they could give it more attention they could even more there is such a concept that it's not just it's not just quantity yeah he sits 18 hours in the B medish yeah but that guy in one hour is actually learning more than the other guy who's learning 18 hours it's not just the time it's not just the ground qualitative learning there's something called B there's no question if somebody learns and he learns it in depth and he learns it analytically and he probes and he he sweats of course that's tatra but the reading of the Milla is so to speak a superficial type of learning that we call it because compared relative to the level of learning that one is able to do stopping and interrupting would be considered B so so we see from these various answers a number of very interesting principles you know from shuger you see a principle in that you could only fulfill one mitzah at a time you see from the answer that even moments losing ad of Tamra is also considered a loss and you see from the other answer of shuger there's something called [Music] qualitative you know one thing we always need to remember there's nothing that a Jew could do to benefit CLA is to fight thear to fight the more than genuine Tam there's nothing more valuable in this world than genuine than genuine Li famously observes that Abu that great man never did Yahara come and wrestle with him and try to pin him down and try to kill him never Didu get into a wrestling match with thear left them alone there's a man by the name of Yu the angel of asov comes he fights him he wrestles with him and he tries to kill y why is that nobody touched left him alone the left him alone left him alone what's the beef do they use that expression in hen what's the beef with says is a sem of he hosts guests he buries the dead thear doesn't like but he could swallow it he could tolerate it isar doesn't like real he's doesn't he doesn't like it but he could tolerate it but Y is a sem of is the Kryptonite of the it's either the or it's there is no room in this existence for the two of them the that what is to the which namely is to the and therefore the says if I will allow to do his thing he will obliterate me he will destroy me so it's either me or him so the S tries to kill there is no more powerful weapon for the Jewish people then Tam actually you know we have two enemies we have an enemy as and the identifies that of course Tam destroys both but each one needs a different type of attack learning destroys destroys that's the the V so it gives me tremendous to see the high level of learning here at this beautiful say that and I want to share with you the words of the the says in that on the day of p on the day that the began to fall on the day that H Was Defeated if on this day CL would immerse themselves in in and spend the rest of the day in tal he says he is guaranteed that immediately the Gula would come that there no greater day to completely eradicate the forces of evil through T than m in fact brings a tradition from his rebi that anyone who is between millas at night and M the morning says that's my tradition soak thank you so much for your attention and you shall have you've just
