this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay rabbi say good morning let's have just a little debataro here in the morning on the bus i would like to just dedicate the uh final moments here on the way to a little bit more of a discussion on on ram falaji i would like to discuss there's there's a lot to speak about i have here a book it's uh not that common not so easy to get it's called todos hachadev the tall voice of harav khayim benyaku falaji and there are over 500 pages of biographical information but what i would like to focus on and i think this is probably the most kadai for us to think about is the midos and the personality of khaim filaji after all we're here to learn not just the history of these good islam but to try to incorporate their midos into our personality as well so i'd like to discuss six midi surveillance most of it comes from the safer savvy and some of it from the safer so first i want to talk about his rachmanines midas when his attendance when his uh servants so i speak to them when his servants would be eating he would not let anybody in the house disturb them and ask them oh could you get me a drink could you bring me something to eat falaji said when the servants eat they should have the menu to eat like a mensch to have time to themselves he would never let anybody in the house wake up the servants he would say they're very tired they're worn out let them sleep let them have rest from a long day if he would see a child crying in the street even a gentile child he would run after them try to be mathias them try to calm them down even if it's uh somebody shalom this was the rakhamim of rav falaji let's talk about his midas hasidos would fast the entire assassination during shot of him fallacy would fast paid tane sim he would fast every error verse he would fast two days often he would fast 36 hours in a row he often fasted but nobody knew about it not his household he would just sort of push the food to the side nobody knew which days he was fasting now there's a very interesting proposal rob khan filaji made i think kamil may be discussed the hospital the rokhay palaji institute he established the first jewish hospital but he needed great funding for that and he asked somebody to communicate with rothschild if raw child would contribute to it toward this hospital and the interceding got a little bit upset you know maybe rothschild would get annoyed with him for the request and rakhine palace wrote back what do you mean don't you see i wrote to you the ezra's hashem so if i wrote to you that you should ask me you don't believe that hashem will help you that was the moon absolutely we're here okay we'll cut it short over here we'll continue on uh on the way back so we're there we are going to stop somehow okay just one last uh one last little segment we're finishing up about falaji and i think we'll be a proper way to conclude that we'll sum up this trip and take us to back to reality we mentioned rokhain falaji's personality and his midis i want to talk about three midai's three other midos and i think it will conclude in the proper way the meet of sneos very interestingly talks about how someone if someone is uh a magazine or someone who's a rav or a shashiva and the bus comes and gives you money how how should you be makable the money what's the right way to take the money so he says that it's that if somebody gives you a present don't bring your hand close to the giver as if you've been looking forward to that gift now adaraba make yourself you don't deserve it you didn't know about it you don't want it that's why even though you do need it because that's derek and even better you shouldn't even stick out your hand let him put it down on the table he shouldn't even hand it to you if somebody comes to kiss the hand of the rub the rub shouldn't stick out the hand as if no no you say kiss the hand already no make it you're not worthy of it because uh this is me dark hat this but as if the person that as if you're not roy for it regarding rakhine falaji's meet of sudaka he would never go out into the street unless his hands were full of coins to be able to distribute ba'ayan yafe to all of the anim and it says this is from the safer uh this of that when it came to purim rakhine balaji would give to everybody hamela very very generously let's conclude with the final mida arab i think this will be a lesson for all of us and a proper way to end off let's just uh end off poisson on behalf of all the khawram here we want to give a big answer kayak to ramasha klein who prepared for this trip the wave of nephesh with his all his heart and all of his soul really to give everybody a good time that everybody should enjoy it everybody should get a his soyuz from it everyone should take out of it for a very long time and on behalf of everyone we're mubarak ramosha he should have tremendous hatslach in all of his future endeavors there's hashem many great adventures ahead say something about that yeah my father usually gets this broker every circus i'm just sitting here at the side and i hear how my father gets his brokers and he has this here to be a base five like a coma and have a sheer hostess i always thought to myself when will i be also so bad hashem it was my greatest pleasure to have her by zvad like a comment and hopes rabbi gladstein and to see them here in turkey thank you very much thank you amen so on that note um avada ramosa put on tremendous avoida and it was a very difficult job psy beforehand and sai lekko suba dolly ramirez there's always hurdles there are always obstacles ramos was able to navigate it everything seamlessly and as of hashem we wish you smooth sailing ahead see after the only brahmana and on that note one final hanhaga toiver of khayin falaji regarding the meet of shaolin reprint falaji says that when it comes to any other quality you cannot be misspeller don't be misspar i'm a big bout sadaka i'm a big london i'm a big mass mid because you could say anything you can make up anything and nobody knows what you do behind closed doors but there's one meda that you could be misspar and say i'm a god on this mida you're allowed to say i'm a big marbushalim why because if you're not then everybody's going to know you're lying so you can only pull that off if you really are a marble shelling and in fact he says you should walk around saying that i'm a roy dave shalom because you're going to have to keep to it and it will be messiah you are you to taka be a roy devshawn and this is the meaning of the passage you know i could say that i'm ray dev shalom because uh there are a lot of people around so if you're not telling the truth they're gonna catch you there's no way to pull that off unless it's ms i want you to know the great lengths that i will go to be marbusholin i will travel by boat all the way from izmir to istanbul just to be marbel shalom so let's end off on that note that bezos hashem we should all shalom we should all go in in great slamos in great peace together the chevroshaft thank you very much you've just experienced
