The guy with the hat, you know I'm talking about? No, the one with the interesting the what? Uh dear Rabbi Elliot, the decision to briefly discuss with me some of the twirling issues I've seen over the past 19 years has really born beautiful fruit. The conversation directly led to one This is from Reb Avraham Schachter Twirling Awareness Project. I don't know led to one of your thousands of any way learning to request more information about the program. When he was here, somebody showed him their are possible. He's been wearing possible filling for a few years already. Basically, his shoes were brown. Take a look at your shoes in certain areas, especially where you tighten them, and he said it's possible. And the guy ran immediately to the What's his name? >> Friedrich. It's Friedrich. Friedrich said they got a bunch of our people. You went there, your filling were good. >> Yeah, excellent filling, naturally. Excellent filling. It was just for the record. It was just for the record. >> It was for the record only. >> Wow. Okay. It's quite a record. We have to get a guy now for the tallis of this project. It's the everybody on the that should be noted. It should be noted. They go Yeah. They run around telling With a tremendous for you Ellie. The entire From my experience, I can say with certainty, after these visits, many of the participants will be fulfilling this most precious mitzvah properly. And some will also be spared from unknowingly repeated brochos lebatalah. By the way, the insurance is a massive show with over 1,000 members. The potential impact is beyond measure. May you and the entire MDY family continue to be a beacon of light and inspiration for Klal Yisrael. With deep appreciation and respect, Avrohom Yishak filling wears project Hanocha Kalacha. Hanocha Kalacha, thank you. Shlisky introduced me to Yeah. Good morning, Reb Ellie. I've been diving since brochos. Though I've been getting at first on my own, and here and there with the chavrusa, and eventually got to the sheer culture. This is not a knock, just a different style of learning. I joined MDY in Yevamos daf sameach gimmel. Gimmel, sorry. Gimmel. Or dalet. So, I missed the the bushes of daf bet. Don't worry, I went back and you were phenomenal. Recently, I've had more time since I've been been so back over the mesechtas, and now I'm middle of Pesachim. My goal to go backwards through all of shas with you. I know it probably doesn't qualify for the cruise, but forgo that to the shmacken learning. Last night, I attended the shiur in Pesachim and he showed this picture of a boy carrying the besamim, example of Don Shainem Skavin. I just thought that it was a real kiss from Hashem to open my Gemara today Pesachim daf chof alef, and see you use the same chart. Ah, the amazing things you're doing. Your people are real grasp Torah honestly when I think of the verse Uh "Ki karav el Hashem k'davar Elohim Ki karav el Hashem Think of the amazing Torah you've taught me and so many others how close you've really brought it to us. Keep it up." Moshe Schiff, Yevamot. Here's the picture of him doing Sukkot. The profiler is the same picture I used that day in Tilt Tilt Kayal. Rebbetzin Tilt Kayal, I think it's still going on is the till the 24th. There was a stickel problem with the code. Check it out. You might get lucky and you get everything for free. I mean, it might be a little stealing from Tilt Kayal, but it's it's it's kishmar. You as a Jew you should run there. It's like those free tickets to Israel so you can go up Tilt Kayal get free tallis. You can commit the mitzvah of the stickel hint of g'neiva. It's not a No, it's not g'neiva. I'm saying that you'll just pay them when you find out that you owe them money. Message >> [laughter] >> Oh, this is a very interesting email. It's written in It's written by a writer, so I'm going to read it. So beautiful looking tallis wearing a tallis at a Lakewood wedding a few weeks ago. I asked and the answer was that's Eli Stefansky's father. Well, I wrote it up in my column in the Jewish Press. Through my stuff put my name the Jewish Press my columns will pop up. Special relatives my cousins Judy in Detroit married family's brother Dr. Field. Wow. Show me up. Hashem put me in baseball field and I bet that I'm the only rebbe Orthodox FFB listener who earned a World Series ring by working daily for years in a major league front office of the Detroit Tigers. I did. Would love to see your team put on a card set. Baseball card size so fit in plastic sleeve in a 9 per page. Put pictures of your team with descriptions in back how to get in touch with them so they want to buy some of their products etc. their books. I'm so What product? What is it put things you covered learning? Size of the menorah pictures with descriptions in back so guys like me who were quickly sent to the low minor leagues by the rebbes in yeshiva and never it up can have a better understanding and younger kids could also learn. The possibilities are endless. As I head to the bottom of the eighth birthday-wise, I've been birthday-wise, bottom of the eighth birthday-wise, I've been diving for decades and can't retain, but your team's visual descriptions are a big help. By the way, love your mention of Yogi Berra. We were friends, had many conversations in the dugout and locker room while I was on the baseball beat. I think what he said about funerals, and I'm trying to catch one for the younger friend today. Oh, he's trying to catch a funeral of a younger friend today. Yogi said, "If you don't go to theirs, they won't go to yours." Irving Cohen the Cooperstown Rabbi Detroit, Lakewood, West Palm Beach. I'll leave you with a personal bracha for your family, a future shidduchim, and share brachos. May their marriage be a tie to go the extra inning. May they never need an umpire. May they be safe at home, and may they be safe even when they are out. He's a friend of yours? What's his name again? Irving Cohen. He's in his late 80s, that's what you're saying? Shmack, okay. We're we're looking for ways, the best one maybe Rabbi Greenman will bring a I don't know if he's bringing a stocking stocking thing, but show us how it's done. Do a little uh demonstration for the oilam. He says, "Put the strings in a slipknot, and then put it in a sock." Put it in a washing machine, it works perfectly. Put it in a sock? Oh. One minute, one last I got to I got to read this. This is a good one. In honor of Rabbi to the Baruch Hashem I had the privilege to join him in the wine bar of Bash D'Nite, and now I have the merit of celebrating a sea of 600 days in a row without missing a single daf. I've already completed 22 masechtas. All these things are incredible fabulous sheer reaches anytime and anywhere, even on flights. Even if there if there is an event during sheer time, the sheer can be completed immediately afterwards whenever and however one wants. In the Jewish community in France and around the world of Yeshivas, I was always in conflict with myself. On the one hand, ever since I left the Yeshiva about 13 years ago, I hardly opened the Gemara and did not learn Gamara. I did not love learning Gamara. For years they told me to learn, but the moment I left Yeshiva I felt I cannot return to it. On the other hand, in Yeshiva world, not learning Torah is considered a lack. Going out for work for livelihood is considered as though you're lacking in your learning time. I guess this was written in Hebrew? It was not easy for me, but it was the reality. Since I did not love Gamara, I tried three times joining learning frameworks of the daily dive, but I quit the moment I started. I never connected to it. I always felt like a race to finish the Torah. I claimed that only super genius learners complete a Siyum. Most people drop out or not learn at all or not finish the cycle. It bothered me deeply that I was going to learn only so that my wife would think that I was learning, the children would see their fathers learn. It's important, but I felt it was wrong to me. From the moment I joined the sheer Baruch Hashem, I managed to learn consistently every day. Although it took time to connect, at first it was very difficult. On daf base and aleph I made a firm commitment that I would also learn on Shabbos the daf of Shabbos as Chazal say, mitzvah generates mitzvah. Today, Baruch Hashem, I managed to complete seven seders with MDY. Since then, I began reviewing and reviewing. I've already been zocheh to complete 10 siyumim. I've already finished five siyumim, something like that. I don't know. It's yeah. Chazara. Oh. Oh, it's Zvachim. He finished Zvachim. It doesn't say Zvachim here, but in Hebrew it said it was five siyumim Zvachim and he did 10 reviews of Zvachim kemat. So, he almost did 10 siyumim Zvachim. Because of reviewing habit, I find myself learning several times in the morning after shacharis if there's time or in the evening after putting the kids to sleep without any organized framework. Also, number four, I also noted that throughout the week I wake up early in the morning until the evening and do not stop only I suddenly have free time. A few months ago I decided to review on Shabbos afternoons. And there all the chances disappeared and I learn without interruption until Maariv. Basically he's saying in the Hebrew he explained it better. I don't know what happened uh what AI took it out. He was saying that he used to love sleeping on Shabbos afternoon and now he realized he doesn't really need sleep. He he He chazara instead like Yossi client. In our home No, this is all wrong. Wow. Just the guy didn't go over this. Okay. Because he wanted to buy something in a leah on Simchat Torah. One of the leahs they sell for that big Gamorah, the guy said 200 daf. He said that's not enough. So he threw out he says 1,000 daf Gamorah and he thought that other people will up him but he got stuck with it but he says it's not a big deal cuz he learns 1,400 daf a year with hazaras. So may Allah it was a breeze for him. And uh There are people I suggested join the sheer push me away all kinds of tirutsim. The fact that I already completed 600 daf in a row gives me the real answer to this calculus. Someone like me succeeded from Minachos daf 100, why not others in other places? No, not Minachos daf base. From personal growth alone the entire house doesn't enter to this Okay. Gershon Chukat Bet Chilkia Yishak Ayach. The rest will have to do a different day.

Squawk. Anything else you guys want to figure out? Let me know. >> [laughter] >> I appreciate you telling share with me what you trying to figure out. It's about it. Okay. It has to be something. Turn it up bottom. We're four lines from the bottom of that base. Welcome back Avi Kaminsky. Welcome back Noam Fix. Welcome back and nothing else to the three stooges are in line over here. It's about it. We're ready to go. You were not feeling well. >> One day I was away. But you're away mentally also. You were very quiet 2 days in a row. You missed a nice because of you. I [snorts] think because I I knew we missed. Torah bottom. >> I knew we missed. That seems like it's going to be a long one. We got a line here, a 310 lines there. Welcome back. Welcome back. That's what I said. Torah bottom. Kailas ain't no big deal. If you have you have a blue string, you find blue strings in the middle of the street, are you allowed to use them? So the bottom of the Havani says ain't no big deal. There's no test to see if it's Kailas. You're allowed to see if it's the fake thing or if it's the real thing. And Kailas ain't no big deal. And therefore, you could only purchase Kailas from a professional to make sure it's not the Kailas. It's not indigo. Tefillin ain't no big deal. Tefillin you could check. You could tell. The big deal is for Kailas. Ain't no big deal. You look inside. You see the actual words, actual letters. I'm going to show you now a Kailas that you've never seen before in your life. You'll never see it again. Tefillin ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. It's the only time in Kailas basically, maybe one other time in Kailas that he brings the Rambam. Kailas brings the Rambam. >> [snorts] >> Okay? So look at it. Remember it. Somebody said that you could uh I forgot what they said. As I was walking out, somebody said Daf Mem Beis goes with Rambam. I see the Mem Beis. Rebbeinu I don't know. He had some other way to remember where it is. Okay. The ain't no big deal. Kailas ain't no big deal. Since, as we're going to see, and the same thing is going to happen with Kailas basically, but since Tefillin need the one of the elements in Tefillin, there's something that you could see physically, and there's something that you cannot tell even with a computer, a computer scan can't see what? Can't see whether or not if you had kavana lishma. That's where they could you in the back over there, in the bleachers. Oh, we don't have seats over here. Wow. Oh, there's one seat over here in the on the two seats on the guest You guys want to come closer? You could see. It's filling yesh l'm deka. You could check for missing letters on a on a computer. V'eni kacham el amanah mucha, nevertheless, you have to buy it from a professional because the the whole the the bottom Everything has to be made lishma. S'farim, when it comes to sefer Torah or mezuzahs and mezuzahs, yesh l'm deka, you could check to see if there's any letters missing. V'eni kacham el kol adam, since they don't require, says Rashi, ibud lishma, you don't have to make the klaf lishma, so you could buy from anybody. As the Gemara with kenas el amud deka, what are you talking about? There's no test for trailers. Bar Avitol b'reish Avyada badiklei, siman b'geshem, he had If you want to remember the way he did it, just remember the word geshem. There is a way. Maiseh m'gabei el gila, you take some alum. U'maya d'shavli l'luta, you take some fenugreek juice. U'mei m'raglayim arbayim yom, and you take urine, mei m'raglayim, mei m'raglayim that are 40 days old, according to Rashi, could be fermented. No, that's one shot. From a baby that's 40 days old, but basically, it's 40 days old cuz the longer the longer it stays, the more potent it becomes, the more ammonia, I don't know what it is, a different chemical. So, if we're already talking about mei m'raglayim, Rashi says Yeah, Rashi says the other one. Look at the Keep on And keep on going. Keep on going. All right. I But All right. Lamed alef stands for lashon hara. Okay, so I know, I told you the second shot. Listen, listen. I heard you. >> [laughter] >> I didn't want to speak up. I said, "Welcome back." That's it. Okay, you just disturbed my whole I'm trying to say a nice about the mayor of line. It could go in your book. I knew you were going to go there. That's why I was trying to >> [laughter] >> avoid it. Stop you before you went. >> Before I became a magid shiur That's That's also Yeah. I have a I have a better one. It's You know You might know this one. It's the biggest I ever had. Basically, before I was a magid shiur, I was looking to like fill my day with something fulfilling. So, I was doing chesed. This woman I used to take her to the the the chemo and she was nifter. This This one of my neighbors was sick. I was doing a week-long urine sample. Basically, it's You just take You take every Every time you go to the bathroom, you have to fill up. Gives me this jug, 1 gallon. 1 gallon, says "This person needs to bring this to the lab in Wolfson Towers in Jerusalem." Okay. Puts it in a bag. Take the Wolfson Tower. I get to Wolfson Tower in the elevator. It's full of people carrying this There's a supermarket I guess there. I don't know. They're all carrying like these bags. And all of a sudden, I feel something wet running down my pants. And look down. And there's a puddle [snorts] of mayriglayim and I'm standing in it and my pants are drenched. What happened was the cover got undone. A half a gallon of the stuff that's over a week old is all over me. And all I remember is this avreich is threw his stuff out of his bag and he starts giving me bags and he says, "It's okay. It's okay. It's beseder." And I'm like, "It's not me. There's a jug here." It's like No revaya. No revaya. Damas. Betari love you got value. I hope they don't make a shirt out of this one. Betari love you got value. Utav atzafra. Sometimes he bizyanus bizyanus. >> [snorts] >> And then I went no, I see I would kept on going and went with the way it looked and everything. I went to the lab and I said is this okay? Like half the things is missing. He said it's okay. He said we'll we'll we'll deal with it. Like don't worry about it. Leave it here and Huh? >> [laughter] >> You have to have alum also and I didn't have trailers back then I don't think. Anyways, the tar you have to give a value more. They want to know if the trailers came off. The tar you have to give a value more to have the tar. And you leave it in this mixture from the night to the morning. If the trailers comes off, it starts becoming weak, then you know that it's not real trailers. It's color ilan. They showed us in the till trailers they took real indigo. Which is which? >> The trailers you cannot differentiate the two colors. You put side by side a lot. >> One of them is color ilan. It's not it's the same exact look. And if it stays the same color, then it's kosher. You take this hard um yeast, you know, like a starter, barley starter. You take the trailers, you put it inside and you you bake it. If it changes for the better, becomes darker blue, whatever it is, then it's kosher. The simonach, how do you remember? If a person says a lie and he adds a little bit of a lie to it, it makes it worse. If you if you add to the good, it makes it better. Okay? So basically we have two simonum here. We have the the the the the alum in the mirror glime and then you have putting into the yeast. So the most of my sir of a hassan was on his way to his own engagement. He's driving and he's like I want to pick up a big mitzvah before before going with a on the right foot. He sees an elderly person standing on the side of the street. He says, "Where do you need to go?" He says, "Don't worry about it. I'm I'm going to get a taxi." He says, "No, no, I'll take you wherever you need to go. Just tell me exactly I'll take you." The guy says, "No." He insists. He says, "It's I got to." So, he says, uh, "I need to go over here." He says, "No problem. I'll take you." He drives and when he is about to get there, he sees that if he goes into that street, it'll take him another 3-4 minutes. He says, "You know, just get off over here." So, the guy says, "Look, I want to take a taxi." And I'm it's hard for me to go up the whole thing. If you're going to take me, just take me all the way there. I don't want to walk now 3 minutes." He says, "Yeah, but if I go." He says, So, the old man was insistent. He said, "You told me, you know." He says, "You know what? I'll tell you what. Let me take you back to where you came from." He drives him all the way back. He says, "Get off over here." He gets to his, uh, vart. Everything's good and all of a sudden the zayed of the kallah walks in. And that was the end of the shidduch. You have to you have to stick to your words. Shinu sheker. You tell a guy you're going to take him over here, you take him over here, not almost over there. So, the Gemara, I said it's a maiseh kimat it's a maiseh. No, I read it in um >> [laughter] >> Mayain ol deega. Oh. So, sorry. Nachman. So, the question is >> [clears throat] >> Question is, you told me that there's no way to check the chailas. There's no way. Here, we have we have two tests, not one. Says the Gemara, "No, no, you didn't understand. We're not looking to see if the chailas could come off. We're talking about the kavana part, the stuff that has to do with people's mind. There's no way to check that. That you can never check." What does that mean? How does it apply to chailas? Mayain ol deega havay de kamar at the eema. The when you when you dip that the the tzemer, you dip the wool into the into that dye, so two things happen. First of all, first of all, you can't use the actual wool for tzitzis, and also you can't use the dye anymore. Both of them are no good. They're both temei'im. The actual tzitzis is pasul. Why? Because you you you didn't have kavana for tzitzis. You had kavana to check it to see if it's the right color. So, that I'm scared that somebody might pass it off. If you found some strings in the street, maybe somebody took it from the temei'im strings, and those are pasul. >> [snorts] >> Or they came from the second dye, the maris sheini dye. Maris sheini is no good. And that's what it means there's no checking. Yeah, you can check if it's kalla ilam versus tcheiles, but you can't check if the tcheiles is made with the proper kavana. Says the Gemara, Mar mi Mashki, Mar who came from Mashki, aasi tcheileso bishnei Rabba bar bar Chiyya. He brought tcheiles from in the years of Rabba bar bar Chiyya. So, Rabbanan Savorei, take a look at where it says Rabba bar bar Chiyya, take a look in the bottom. What does it say? Read it out loud. Like number seven, I think it is in the Hebrew. Yeah, you read it. Now say it loud. Rabba bar bar Chiyya Rabba bar bar Chiyya mi Rabbanan Savorei. So, this is a very very important hint in the Gemara. I said a few times, but here's one Rabba bar bar Chiyya was from Rabbanan Savorei. What does that mean? Rabba bar bar Chiyya did not live in the time of the Amora'im. He lived later, after the Gemara was closed. Ravina and Rav Ashi finished it up. They inserted him later, later years. I don't know how many years later. That proves that Rabbanan Rabbanan Savorei wore tcheiles. A lot of people say Rav Chaim Kanievsky's big thing is nignaz. But the Midrash says nignaz. The Midrash was written way hundreds of years before. Yet you see throughout Shas that different Amoraim and over here you see Rabbanan Savorai wore Techeiles. Did a test. What's the reason why he used test? The May Raglayim test. Biparas Chazusa. So on test number one it failed immediately, the color diminished. And then they did a test number two with the Rav Adda, the yeast test. Vishnani Mayusa became even better. There's a contradiction in the test. One test it uh how do you say in English? It became uh it faded, thank you. It faded. And then the second test the reverse happened, it got stronger. So they wanted to say, "Look, uh you you you didn't pass the first test, you're out." So Rav Achai says, "Al Halacha Al Halacha Ilai, we have a contradiction." So there's only two options, either it's Techeiles or Al Ilan. There's no third option in those days. So what is it? Al Shmani Al Shmuasa Shmuasa Hadadi Itmar. These two tests go in conjunction, they go together. First you do you perform test number one. If you failed test number one, Lo Iva Chazusa Chara Iva Chazusa, if it if it if it's good it's great, you don't have to do test number two. But if it fails test number one, Iparit Chazusa, But Kilu Lemai Rav Adda B'Chamira Akisa, then you could do test number two. And what happens? Ishnani Lemai Usa Chara Iva Chazusa. In other words, test number one is not a uh perfect science. If it fails on test number one, you still have a chance to use test number two. And if it actually goes becomes better with the yeast, then you know that it's still kosher. And Shmuel Katan they said in Eretz Yisrael, Shmuasa Hadadi Itmar, these two tests go together. It's a double test. Says the Gemara, Rabbi Mani Dayik B'Zavin Kichura Masniyosa. He would buy based on the price of the what that we have to understand that any trailers that was used as a sample like that they didn't kill it all that stuff that he dumped into that was I thought it's fascinating. I asked him to give me some of that secret sauce that we can use it you know like maybe in brokers whatever. You put white wool in, you pull it out, it stays white. All of a sudden in front of your eyes it starts changing to blue. It's really cool. So that trying that as a you know if I'm showing this year I cannot use that as as trailers because I didn't have cover over the same as trailers. So may law he was marked with to buy it from a moment of her. I don't know Saba. I wonder if this is a line of you again cuz this line is tremendous. This is a line that we all you can read this line and just go right there and you can read this line and pause it for a second. How can all we come over to come off? This is what the generations before you and before you did. The actual like you sky you. It's like after a million of you maybe. Then when you you act like a mensch you do you do the right things you make it on on a halacha that's like you sky you. You'll have a slight they're connected. The two things are connected. The way the way we we act manage yesterday I was talking to a real estate broker and I said listen you you partner you haven't been so honest with me. You know certain things like nuances you know. He doesn't have to tell me he watches my sheer just to make me feel good when he doesn't watch it. I know he's not watching the sheer you know. Don't have to try and like little things little things you got to be honest. He said you're 100% right but this is how we are. You know we we're like our kind. We tell you this and we tell them that we try to put you together. We call them and then we call them by nature we have to lie and stickle. This is what he tells me straight out. That's like you sky you. You do it the right way you do it you must see how to do it about it. Huh? I'll take care of your money for you. Yeah yeah and then that I want to invest with this guy. This is the guy I want to invest when he's mom is He's doing all right in the crying posture. He's uh he's Turn around about it. He's my At least he's At least he's honest that he's not honest. Give up already. Halaqa talismans yes this one is shook. If somebody goes ahead and then he buys tzitzis from the marketplace. Hey means well I just got to be bought. Hm? >> [clears throat] >> Halaqa yeah halaqa talismans yes this one is shook. If somebody buys a tallis that has tzitzis on it from in the market. Means well I just got to If you buy it from a Jew you should know that it's it's good it was done lishma. But I don't even From a it depends. Me not shera. Nobody in the right mind today would do this but imagine you buy from a from an Arab those guys that sells those those birds that those chachkes the things that go like this and like that around the thing you know what I'm talking about? The the balloons that places He also sells tzitzis a tallis. Oh! I can't believe it. Send a picture to I forgot to put it in. This they they have a whole bunch of guys in jail Arabs making tzitzis. Yeah. Send them the picture. They had a whole article about it. Yeah. Lishma. They're doing it lishma. It says Arabs are making tzitzis lishma. The whole bunch of them sitting. Yeah. That was real the Chinese. This one I'm not sure about. >> [laughter] >> But I don't even know if you buy it from an individual you should know it's possible. If you buy it from a from a from a guy that that's that's his job to sell it's going to be kosher. Why? Because he doesn't want to ruin his name. He can be selling them lishma. We have a problem here. I was once in a in a sfarm store in Mea Shearim as a bocher and a guy came in there without a yarmulke. He looked a little you know American. He was talking in English and this and that. So the guy he says I want to buy this. He points to the tallis. The guy says no I can't sell to you whatever it's taken. He says, "Well, what about the No, this one also not." He made him a shirt. The guy would not sell him a tallis. Pasha, the Gemara says over here, "Now I can sell tallis." To any Yid. I don't know if he was. Maybe he was Jewish, who knows? He didn't know. This Yishama didn't know. Ain od mi shami mi tallis si as le mi kavin. Achi yati tzi tzi as I have to undo all the tzitzis. My time up. Hogi targimum shum zina. So, second sha second sha in Rashi, relax. Second sha in Rashi is that if you a person will buy a tallis, he'll give it to the zina as payment. And she'll take it. And she'll use it to make up a some story about a Jew. And that's a problem. The famous maisel is the chemet. He writes in his agdama basically that he was a just a average curl guy who was learning. And somebody was very jealous of him. And somebody paid a cleaning lady to to make up a story about him. A not nice story. And there was a big turmoil in the city, the whole thing. And the her boss came to check it out. He said, "This guy, no." And he fired this woman. He fired the cleaning lady. A a few days later, whatever it was, the cleaning lady comes to the zecha and says, "Listen, this guy paid me to make up the story. I need my job. Clear your name. Tell everybody what happened. Ruvein paid me. I'll get my job back. You'll get your name back." So, he said, "Absolutely not. That's a that's a tremendous that a that a a sham mitar mitzvos is going to pay somebody to make up a libel about somebody else. Uh no, I'm not asking to do such a thing. But I will get you your job back." So, he got her job back. He went and he spoke to the guy, got her job back. And he says in the agdama, he says, "That's when he felt all of a sudden something clicked in his head." Nifti chu mayani sataya whatever the lashon over there is. He got us tremendous siyata d'Shmaya on Torah because when you go when you I'm in such a tremendous masayan a tremendous tremendous act of not to clear your name. Everybody wants to clear their name. And he he's m'vater on that for l'kovod Shamayim. That's a kiddush Hashem. And uh And they wrote this in the comment. Rebbi Yehuda Amar Shmuel Slavvin b'divrei Ha'iggunah. We know with Nachman Nachman Waxman Nachman Waxman three bachurim different stories that they went into the car because they saw like a Tehillim on the dashboard. The guy or music different things. I saw with my own eyes. I I can't explain it but I saw with my own eyes in Chicago on Shabbos I saw uh an African-American guy wearing like a yeshiva like a hat, jacket, tzitzis, the whole thing getting on a bus on Shabbos. You have to realize that you know there's in in Rockaway you see standing there asking for money Erev Shabbos collecting money cuz they know that you could they just they put a a Tehillim on. It's a thing. They say you're Shabbos different things. Mom we they they tell you these guys are don't give them you know whatever. Slide 26 Rebbi Yisrael there it is. Oh it's on. Mitzvah zela asirim are being koshering tzitzis l'shma rachmana l'tzlan. They're >> [laughter] >> Sorry to scroll. >> [snorts] >> Yeah. It's like the guy who you see someone on the side of the highway. So you pull over to help him cuz he's wearing a yarmulke. There's people put on a yarmulke. Cuz they know they're going to get help. Ah you they they they might be the Arabs. I'm They put on a yarmulke cuz they know you'll Ah they sell cars in America and here in Eretz Yisrael you have like a yellow vest and in America they sell yarmulkes. You you get you just put a yarmulke people will stop for you. Givaldig. >> [snorts] >> So, if we analyze this slowly, I skipped. Oh. Yeah, yeah, I did say it. I actually said I'll say it again. This is why I said that they put the tail on the dashboard. Maybe I just skipped it and I said the story first. I didn't say it. I wanted to say it. I had to go on and say I have you the armor I said in my I I read it. I didn't say it. He will pretend that he's Jewish. He'll wear a tallis. Oh, shkoyach for stopping me. We have a first video of it. It's hard to understand >> [sighs] >> what's going on. I This part I didn't understand so well. Sorry, I have no change. Um Actually, I do have some here. Is that our guy, the lamala lamata guy? Sure. Yes. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> I have no idea. I don't [laughter] know. I have you the armor of the person of the inch of the basin. Ra- Rabbi Hudo on tsitsit on his wife's clothing. Boys and his wife's clothing. So stop, think, analyze. What does it mean? How do you Why would you put tsitsit on your wife's clothing? A woman doesn't have to put on tsitsit only if she doesn't have to wear tsitsit at night. And then it becomes a mitzvah that she has a man grammar. If it's a mitzvah that you don't only do certain times of the day, women are part of but if a woman has to wear if tsitsit is something that you wear 24/7 So it's not a mitzvah that she has a man grammar. Then it's a regular mitzvah like everything else and a woman is hired and therefore he put tsitsit on his wife's clothing cuz he holds that tsitsit is something that you wear all the time. The problem is the next slide. And every morning he would make a brothel with tsitsit. The problem is why would he make a brothel every morning? If it's 24/7 365, make a brothel once in your life and that's it. You're done. As a side note, I just as to help the island I put on my tsitsit in the morning once and I made and I put it on. My tsitsit on you. And like a minute like a couple seconds later, what just happened? What? I mean it's mitzvah and I move on. It's like you make a brothel, you don't even know what you're doing. Like you I was tired, I made a mitzvah on my tsitsit. It's like not not I'm just just help out the island. Just a unawareness thing. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for sharing. May the Rabbi says tomorrow since he put the tsitsit on his wife's clothing cuz mitzvah that she wears my grammar. Obviously it's something it's a mitzvah that doesn't have to do with time. If so, I might have a brothel so then why would he make a brothel every morning? So the grammar, what do you mean? We do the same thing with filling, keriah bi. This is how your filling goes machshavah min ha lev. M'varech aleihem d'vei Rebbe. Now, filling you don't wear on Shabbos, so you can say okay. Says the Mishna, this is my grandma certain times. Oy. But here's a raya that even during the day you're supposed to wear filling all day long. So, you can make 100 brochos on filling. You take it off when you go You go to the bathroom for instance. There's certain times it makes a big hefsek. The bathroom creates a hefsek. You know to wear filling in some situations in the bathroom, right? The goylem you can't wear the So, that creates a break. And when you put your filling on again, you have to make a brocha. What about when you take off your tallis and you go to the bathroom? So, that even though the Shulchan Aruch says you should make but he brings the Ashrei we pass him the Ashkenazim at least I don't know what the Sephardim do. It seems like the Sephardim also. Since it's not a real hefsek cuz you could technically wear your tallis in the bathroom. You're not supposed to bring a beged of tfillah into the bathroom. So, that's why a lot of people take off the kittel when they go into the bathroom. But it's not like a chiyuv. So, it doesn't make a stop. It doesn't make a break. That's on tallis unless you take it off for a long time or whatever you make a Okay. Yeah, not a real break. >> [snorts] >> Akko Podim you see that on filling you make a brocha every time you take it off. So, too Yochi Kosasonami. So, why did he make it in the morning? It should say that he made a brocha on his tzitzis five times a day. Rebbi Yehuda ben S'niah but because Rebbi Yehuda was very He's very tzanuah b'li sh'ar d'glimei kol yoma. He wouldn't take off his garment the entire day. O machshavah m'tzavah. So, then why So, this is a beautiful Rashi. To understand the Gemara's question you have to see this Rashi. I just like this thing. O machshavah m'tzavah says says Rashi l'varech sh'ol m'tzavah bo. He should make the brocha when? Ba'ashmayris k'dei m'yoyim l'girsei. He obviously woke up to learn Torah before the morning. I said to him, "Why is it that you make a brocha then?" 2 hours before sunrise, 3 hours, who knows when? Bashmairis. The gear say, you hear this? These people wake up to learn Torah in the morning. So the Gemara says, "Kim Shamus Labish Sisyum, he made it when he changed from his pajamas, PJs, into his clothing. When was that? That was during the daytime. He waited always. That's That's when he made the switch. He didn't He didn't turn put on his clothes when he woke up in the middle of the night. When the sun came up, then he put on his day clothes, and that's when he made his brocha. Once a day, Torah Rabah. This is a super interesting line here. You're going to have a lot of questions. Immediately, the Gemara is going to address them. "How come you have to say this? Everybody is having tzitzis." Kohanim, Levi'im, Yisraelim, which the question is, of course, who else is there? There's nobody else in Klal Yisrael besides Kohanim, Levi'im, Yisraelim. Geirim, even a ger, nashim v'avadim, here it says, "A woman and a slave." Women are patur because of mitzvas eseh she hazman grama. Like a shofar, lulav, sukka. Al omer. How come Kohanim, Levi'im, Yisraelim are mitzvah? Pshita, says the Gemara. The Kohanim, Levi'im, Yisraelim pturei. There is only three categories in Klal Yisrael, Kohanim, Levi'im, Yisraelim. If they're patur, who am I going to be chayev? Who will be chayev? Says the Gemara, "You're right. Kohanim are chayev. The chiyuv is on the Kohanim." That even a kohen is chayev in tzitzis. The hava amina, that what? Since a kohen in certain situations doesn't have to be makpid on shatnez, and the Torah connects shatnez with tzitzis, so I think somebody who doesn't have the halachos of shatnez doesn't have to wear tzitzis. There's a certain headdress of kohen when they wear their bigdei kehuna, which beged in particular? The avnet. This week's parsha. It's not so pashut that it's only during the parsha. We can about it maybe the even after the one is going to say in a second. Lo haya kamashma. It says the need this to be then avodah but lo idan avodah lo yishmi. During the avodah says the Gemara that's when it's mutar after avodah not. I'm just saying the Rishonim say does it mean avodah my mission they are allowed to walk around in the Beit Hamikdash with that is etc. Okay. But the point is it's not always mutar then. It's a special special heter that they have while they do the avodah and therefore they are chayav big tzitzit. Says the Gemara Rav Shimon ben Gamliel my tamah Rav Shimon says women are not chayav tzitzit because they are re'is moshe. Pratiksus layla. Since it says re'is moshe you have to see it so something beged in those days they didn't have fluorescent lights LEDs they didn't have lights. You couldn't see. You can't see you're you're patur. So then it becomes a mitzvah min hagarma. It's dependent on time. Women are patur. At omer pratiksus layla o yeino elo pratiksus sus suma. I just thought about something. I don't know I have to develop it. I'm going to tell my wife she's patur from going to chassidus because it's mitzvah min hagarma. It's it's something I don't know I have to develop something it's like it's it's time dependent. Time dependent it can't depend on you. You know what I'm saying? You have no idea what I'm saying. Okay. >> [laughter] >> Your wife is on time so you have no clue. You have you have okay good. >> [clears throat] >> O yeino elo pratiksus suma. Or perhaps re'is moshe means you have to see it. So if a blind person can't see he's patur. No shmuel amar shas chassiva hariksus suma amar omati mikayem re'is moshe asher shas chassiva means any type of clothing that you cover yourself. So why does it say re'is moshe pratiksus layla it's coming to exclude a night garment. Again night garment can machlokes Rishonim does it mean that you're wearing a day garment during the night or means a night garment like pajamas? It can mean both. Amar Rav Ashi sus suma sus layla. We have two things that we could deduct. We could take off the the blind person's clothing or the night clothing. Who told you what to take off? My cuz everybody else could see it so it's not in the reason. It makes more sense to take off the night garment cuz no one could see it. Rabbanan Rabbanan say that at night you are having tsitsis. How should what do they do? We're going to get to the real in a second. Just hold on tight. This is stuff that we did already actually and simple. It says four corners. It means to exclude if you have a three-cornered garment, you're not having tsitsis. But there's another option. Four could also mean that if you have five, you potter. Who told you which one to take off? Maybe it's it's coming to exclude a five-cornered garment, but a three-cornered garment would be having tsitsis. Means every garment. Every garment includes the five. The obvious question is why? It says four. You could exclude five. You could exclude three. Who told you which one to exclude? Tell you why. Very simple. Because a five-cornered garment also has four corners in it. To get to five, you have to do four. Fine. In a three-cornered garment doesn't have four corners in it so therefore it makes sense to to get rid of it. R' Shimon Mashnafko. Okay. He uses that if you have a night so what do you say you have to see it? Reason why it's hard to say. So this is very important. That's it. Here's that guy though. When you Why do we Why do we wear tsitsis? Or reason why you look at it. You and then you remember. Remits zoo was Look at the tsitsis and then you remember something that's dependent on it Zoo creatures Christmas connected to the snow the beginning of this Mommy what did he do? He pulled the white wool out of the dye and it was white and suddenly part of it changed to blue and then then he said look this white and blue You have to see the difference. No light you can't tell the difference between blue the light blue and white. Thank you though. I believe there's people that are a lot of people certainly 20% of people are color blind, right? So I think one of the soon they can't see blue so well, no? Some reds some reds brown brown >> differentiate it, right? >> Browns are the are the tricky. Yeah? Yeah. brown >> browns greens Okay. They shouldn't be doing this test maybe. You got to love it. Thank you though. What reason is there's another one another brother that says You see this with cotton. Ray Mitzvah Zoo is going to miss the carrots of what are you supposed to remember not something that's dependent on it but something that's next to it this is a climb to remember about the issue of also to remember that in this there is no of dealing with a lot. And right away it says right after it says you should make thank you though. What reason is there? Call me sister. Should remember all of this. Give me some time what am I missing Zoo? When a person becomes Zoo then he's in all the first one of the first he does in the morning is he puts on his that's when he becomes in all the turning of the day. A dark global happy clients all year not just this month. The dot com please register today. We had a son here yesterday so I said I'll crime in Lithuania it's always used to tell back home by Mr. Buck and would say Look at your scissors. And remember one mix with that means something to you. One mix with connected to a Shabbos whatever. Look at your scissors. Every time you look at your scissors you will remember that way. And once it becomes ingrained in you, add a second mix with. As you go in your life, he says if I would have done it starting your age I would have been at 6:13 already. That's how that's how you get scissors. I remember all the mixes. One by one. Yeah, just to tell the they don't know. Editor of all of shots English and Hebrew. Tremendous just his show was 3 minutes away from here. It was unbelievable loss. Very young Shouldn't say it's my grandma. This we said a few times already that scissors means is is 100. 100 plus the top is 400 600. The five knots and the eight strings 613. The time you do. Scissors I have to say over here the villain going to famous villain going say many times but over here it's very important. Right on his death bed right a few minutes before he left her. He grabbed his scissors and says and he started crying and tears in his eyes says in this world you could buy this for a few copper could whatever it is a few a few nothings. And you can be a mix with that brings a connection to you you can be to see the rest of the world says in a second. In the world to come no matter what you do you could jump up and down you could run around the block 100 times you'll never be able to buy another mix with. You have to have a right in this world. This mix with scissors is equal to all the mixes. real the see. Human nature is when you see something it reminds you of something. It reminds you of something you do something. When you're exceptional at this mitzvah you're you do it I don't know how to translate Zohar so well. You do quickly, you do it properly. Then you Zohar and you see the the the Shekinah. The Shekinah the Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. Same lashon so you see that reason I saw the Shekinah Kavyochol. Torah Rabbah. Chavivin Yisrael she as I call you the mitzvahs. Look at this. Hashem loves us. And he gave us mitzvahs to surround us. To protect us. To watch over us. Tefillin b'rosh einayim u'tefillin b'zeroa einayim. So how many is that? Two. Tefillin on our head and our hand that's two. How much is that? Another four. This is Rashi. Even though we pass in the right Rebbe says it's four mitzvahs. But we said Chachamim say it's one mitzvah. But nevertheless it's four physical things that surround us. So total six. U'mezuzah l'vavcha and then you have a seventh. The mezuzah on the door. That's what Rebbe Nachman said seven things have to give you shivah y'mei shivah y'mei shivah y'mei shivah y'mei shivah When Rebbe Nachman was in the bathhouse he didn't have his tefillin on. He didn't have his tzitzis on. Omer oyli she'emud arom b'lo mitzvah. How could I stand there without any mitzvahs? We we walk around with the bris milah that's that's a uh one of the things that that protects us. So he's he's okay. Rebbe Chaim Vital says how come Rebbe Nachman didn't feel arom when he went to sleep? What about the tzitzis? He didn't go to sleep. Oh, so that's that's something that I had a problem. He only uh shish and mish and cetera. It's not a skisos. But he says that you see from here that Dovid Hamelech went to sleep with his sisters. And the Magen Avraham, huh? And the mezuzah, I know. Yeah, all these questions. But I'm just saying what the Chazon Ish says. Magen Avraham argues. >> [snorts] >> Nachash he also shiro. Shneimar shminis. He went from seven to eight. What's eight? Mizmor Dovid al amilo shneidim shminis. He's referring to the eighth day of the milah. It it It provides a shmira that you shouldn't sin. You have to have these tfillin on your hands. One day Be'ezras Hashem soon when Mashiach comes we'll all be wearing tfillin all day long. will save you when you have all these things around you. Why did Hashem pick blue? The famous Gemara, we mentioned it shat cheilis domeh l'yam. It reminds us of the ocean. V'yam domeh l'rakia. And the ocean reminds us of the heaven. V'rakia l'kisei hakavod. And the heaven reminds us of the kisei hakavod. Shneimar k'masai l'vein us a safir. Uh the guys from Mishkan Tcheiles gave me this. Even safir is similar to color of tcheiles. This is what the luchos were made out of. Even safir. This is what they This the sapphire. Uk'etzem hashamayim l'tohar. It says that the uh the kisei hakavod is described the kisei hakavod from safir. Uk'ein tziv even safir d'mus kisei. Somebody once asked, I forgot who it was. It's a famous maiseh. Said, "I don't understand. I look at my tzitzis all day and I don't I don't remember the kisei hakavod. What's pshat?" He says it depends where your head is. Says the When the Gemara says that if you see a woman's clothing hanging on clothesline, you You look at it. Cuz that you understand? He says, "Yeah, that I that I get." He says, "Oh, so where's your head?" That entire visit you understand? So, how come you don't have take the same thing to the Rebbe got to show you this thing for a second. This is Rebbe This is when a when an artist goes a little mashugana, okay? This is like artist on steroids. So, this is the You see the ocean in the ceiling. This is like in D.C. This guy goes in a little daydream. I would have finished it off a little differently, but okay. Remember Elon Musk gives [music] you a ride. SpaceX >> [snorts] >> Just put on the bottom [music] of my copy.net to pay me. >> [laughter] >> All right. Um Oh, one more. Let's just do this these two lines here. Tanya Can I have a second to say? >> [music] >> Oh, one minute. It's over? Oh. I don't know what I'm going to do. Okay. That's what he he should have woken up in the like in in like in a in a sheer. Like somebody else's sheer. Like some Benny! Benny! Oh. Tanya, how do you know you have a good lunch and you have a lot of energy and you have a lot of energy and you have a lot of energy and you have a lot of energy and you have The easier the mitzvah, the bigger the owners is. So, it's much easier to get white than the blue. So, you get a you get a bigger of error, bigger owners for not taking care of the white scissors. Why don't you do white? Blue, okay. I didn't see this. I'm doing I'm doing this the first time with you. You should fetch me a signet ring made of pure gold. And you, my lad, should fetch me a clay signet ring. Well, both of them didn't bring it. They both didn't bring it. What happened? I don't know. I Mom can see this here. I don't know what it is. I don't know. But they both didn't bring it at the As I mentioned before, who gets a bigger punishment? Ah, they were they got drunk in the bar. And they came late. Okay, I got it. Now I got it. Who gets the bigger punishment? I have you all in my head. I shall have you all in my head. I shall have you all in my head. I shall have you all in my head. The one that was supposed to bring the the the simpler one. >> All I asked you to do was get me a simple clay ring, and you failed? Okay. So, the result of learning this says the more you get it after we have to remember from this Gamara, he says that if a person is doing chuvah, the first thing you should take care of are the simple things. Like uh whatever the example is, let's say somebody uh smokes a cigarette 3 minutes before uh Motzei Shabbos. Say it's a Shabbos. It's a much greater aveira than somebody that smokes in the middle of the day. It's It's already there. Something that's harder to do is less of a issur. So, it's it's if to learn with a chavrusah b'iyun is a lot harder than than opening up a YouTube and watching a shiur. So, you get in the you get a bigger onus for not doing MDY.
