this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com we're here in the city of the babasali in the tivot just to give you some of the historical background and the family lineage so the babasali was the son of rabino masood actually for those following the shurim in the back of our humble sephirah kadamera nini we have a piot printed written by rabbenu masood abiha sarah the father of baba sally about the great tana ramire balanese rabino masood was a great dayan and a great python he was the son of abiryakov of rabbyakov that the babasali considered himself the spiritual heir of this great lineage but the abihacera family began with ribs legend has it the father of the mat because of an incident that happened that he wasn't able to go on a boat and he sort of floated on the water with his carpet avihacera now the baba sally from the time of his youth he was dedicated to great kadusha feeling the motivation of continuing the spiritual legacy of the abihacera family now it's very interesting that the baba sally came to arts israel a number of times his first trip was at age 31 now his father passed away when he was 18 years old and although everybody knew about his greatness they were not confident in his ability to give over the shiurim on a high madrega and therefore when when babasali began to give sheer he completely astounded the listeners of his command of kalahati rakula aside from the regular massachusetts which he was a buckian he was a proficient in many different mcsoys in torah completed the entire secretary from which he would be marvel sedra every week so at age 31 in 1921 he came to arts israel for the first time and he wanted to be mistaken and he came to the cover of the ariza where he spent an entire hour being mispale now amazingly he then asked to be taken to the basic nessus of the arizona and the government said he can't go to the base of knesset nobody's ever made it out alive in a very long time from the base of canasta and the babasali insisted that he be given the key and he goes to the the gate of the cover of the ariza of the of the shul of the ariza and he opens up the door and nobody was allowed in with him he told hashamas okay hold on tight to the back of my galima and the shamish is following him and he goes to the arun kodesh he opens up the arrowing of the of this uh the uh capra of the basa kinesis of the arie and he takes out the safer torah and he reads it at the bhima and the whole shul is mole ar and he tells the god okay you can let go now now everyone could come in nothing bad will happen to anyone and the babisali so to speak clear the way clear the path for people to be and to be able to enter the shoal of the arie then in came again and he actually this time spent three years in earth israel he lived in baka but in 1954 he realized that the community of morocco still needs him although some moroccans already began coming towards israel he felt that he needed to service the community and he went back to morocco until 1964 where he ultimately came to arts israel for good and he was makbit to bring his whole library all of his sparring he had many many swara many manuscripts and he made sure to bring every last item to arat's israel so we're here at the tseon of the babasali so we will say one one torah and this uh holy mackerel this is a torah that we've we've set over barabin and it's a very meaningful idea baba sally says on the passage in parashat that when there was a mageifah and aron had to stop the mageefa so it says he stood between the living and the dead and somehow by standing between the living and the dead he was able to bring an end to the mage what's the deeper meaning of he stood between the living and the dead says above a sally he was oy maid he contemplated and established what is the main difference between being alive and being dead the main difference is thanking could you thank hashem if you're not alive in fact do we showing them say the word is a rashaytava so the four people have to thank hashem one who was healed one who crossed the yam one who crossed a midbar the word is a rashtavus for the four people or one who was led out of jail the word is for the four people have to thank hashem the definition of life is thanking hashem the matter says that why are rashaem called me sim because they see the sun rise and they don't thank hashem that's what it means that i don't understood the difference between mason and khaim is thanking hashem and through this he brought life to all of israel so in this holy makkah we could also say sadiq you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
