Journey to Turkey: Bursa- The History of the Karaites

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com thank you very much ramosha speaking about ramosha i want to familiarize you with the name of a godol who preceded rebellion as rakhi his name was ramosha kapsali ramosha kapsali was born in kritay in crete and he is responsible for many of the gazeroys that were enacted in crete he then then came to istanbul turkey and he basically had very strong authority his authority was so strong he had the right to tax the people on behalf of the sultan and his power was then taken over by rebellion became the rav in istanbul he was also given the title rav hakole radhakaru is similar to khachambashi and revellio mizrahi also was able to have the force of taxation on behalf of the sultan we mentioned roy mizrahi lived from 1450 to 1525. i want to tell you just a few hadoushima mizrahi before i get into the history of the karoyem there's a rashi in the parishes devarim translated the torah hey dave what does rashford say on the words buyer hate dave rashid says shivam will shine ice where does rashi see in the word haiti you go you do like this hey dave hey plus hey you'd [Music] is 70. that's how rashi knows shivam shyness 5 plus 15 plus 24 plus 26 is 70. this is a system of gumatria so it's it's not brussels it's mizrahi you know it's different anyway as we mentioned from chuva nunza in hell that it's permitted to teach the karoyem science mathematics grammar and scriptures i want to talk a little bit about the history of the quran where did this movement come from how did it develop as remission said that there is an extension from the karam actually the kyron have not really been in had any significance for about 1500 years it basically goes like this in the year there was a man by the name of bustanai bustanai was confirmed as the reishigalusa the resculusa was somebody who hailed from the malchus bastavir the descendant had absolute power in babel the rashkalousa had the authority to execute somebody every rabbi's dream not just joking so the race calusa had absolute authority he was basically king of the jews and this race galoosa's name was bustanai who was who confirmed him omar now listen to this twist of irony this twist of history omar in the year 650 approximately defeated casaurus ii then omar took a soros's daughter and he married her omar then gave kasaurus's second daughter to bustanai so in a twist of irony omar and bustanai the resculusa became brother-in-laws the problem was this lady wasn't jewish but but busta and i didn't have a choice if he refuses omar by the way this is a famous omar this is the omar of the the the uh mosque of omar is the the dome of the rock this is uh the omar that gave boston i his wife and busan basically had no choice if bosnia is going to refuse omar his life is in danger he would be killed and he married this woman she was not a jewish woman but according to if she were going he was magaya her and it was a valid garrosh now busta and i had another wife puss tonight's other wife was a jewish woman as you could imagine now when boston i dies there's going to be a lot of dissension who's going to take over as reishkelusa the descendants of the jewish wife or the descendants of the wife who was a gentile was converted and perhaps her her children are considered more powerful so this was always a struggle from the time of boston i until the end of the era of the reishkelusa there was always a struggle between the descendants of the persian wife of boston i and the jewish wife of bhustanai basically in the year 670 business died he succeeded by his day the jewish non-persian wife the thing is very insecure he's always think he's always looking behind his shoulders always thinking you know maybe the son of the non-jewish wife is going to claim the reign of the rescue lusa so his first step as reishigalusa is he questions the legitimacy of the conversion of omar's sister-in-law and that the descendants of business non-jewish wife he claimed that we're not legitimate basically the going in had to get involved in the going impossible no the descendants of bustani's non-jewish wife are legitimate it was a legitimate conversion and for many many decades there was a dissension between the children of bustani's jewish wife and gentile wife his guy ruled until the year 690 his son he took over and in 730 did a very unconventional thing he appointed as the going of surah a non-surah descendant so this became very controversial in 760 died did not have any sons so now the resh galusas left up to two nephews of their names were anan and khananya anan was brilliant anan was creative anan was charming anan had every myla kanana did not have these qualities the oinim of pampa disa they wanted why because he's not a threat to them but anand was much more talented so anyway they convinced the sultan to appoint kananya and that was the official appointing so hananya is the next reiskalusa the only thing is anan was understandably miffed by the appointment of his brother was not as talented as him and he declared himself the next reiscaloosa the problem is the caliph was fuming because anand was going against his decision so the caliph had anand arrested and anand was going to be executed so anan is up the creek without a paddle and in great desperation he concocted the following theory anan concocted that him and hananya belong to two different religions khananya belongs to rabbinic judaism and he anand belongs to authentic judaism so the cave says what's authentic judaism he says authentic judaism is we believe in what it says in the in the scriptures we don't have the same religion and the caliph went for it so anan was able to save his life by inventing charism and basically it's stuck and that's where the how the cat rights started the thing is it was a stirrup in aobay because without tourish about you can't make heads or tails on what the sukham say and it was also a religion that was extremely unpopular imagine sitting the whole day on shabbos what are you gonna eat already you need jerky every single shabbos next door you know you smell the the fumes of the kiddush you smell the ha the haisa kegel the heist of chillant and uh the karum had cold food on food on shabbos they had many many restrictions that were basically unbearable himself was a big ascetic he didn't he fasted a lot he slept on the floor and his version of judaism was extremely unpopular and unsustainable but that was the source of karo ism it lasted for about two hundred years until ripsad you going basically put an end to it and even though you still hear vestiges of charoism today and for the last 1 000 years they were basically very own significant insignificant and they had very little power so this is the development of the karo rights again in times of romeo mizrahi uh rebellio mizrahi held that the rabbanim were allowed to teach the these people certain disciplines whether it's science mathematics and other basic jewish grammar but the the charade movement did not really have uh continuity as none of the deviant movements of judaism for the last two thousand years the last two thousand years they've been many break offs of traditional judaism whether it's the terror rights reform conservative franchise sabatianism and they all share one thing in common that they do not have descendants today who are jewish so this is a little bit of the history and it begins uh here in turkey rooted in babylon enjoy the rest of your ride and uh we'll we'll be joining you soon you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
