Daf Yomi Menachos Daf 44 by R' Eli Stefansky

[singing] [laughter] >> Good morning Rabbi boys. >> [screaming] [snorts] >> Welcome welcome to all the guests. We have a bunch of kosher guests here. Want to remind everyone this is selling out nicely. Baruch Hashem. The new volume of Chullin. I don't know how many sold, but it looks like almost half. No? If you look closely, I don't know. I don't know the number. Reb boys, we have some big news, very big news. MDY Morocco donor appreciation trip. These are the supporters of MDY that help cover the significant portion of MDY's budget. Donors of 30,000 or more. If you donate 30,000 or more, then it costs you it costs $10,000 to go. Which is below our cost, I think. But that's how it is. 30,000 or more. We're going to have erech 30 people. So it's going to be nice. If you want to be like Shomshi last year, you wanted to go on the Serengeti trip, so he coughed up last year it was $20,000. Are you going to do it this year? He's think he's debating. It was so gashmius. Was it worth It's the best dollar you ever spent. What? The anxiety with the weather. Three weeks before he's checking the weather. All right. Check this they have a video for it. Let me see. I didn't see it yet. Boven Aitz Zeh. They won Marrakech. That looks like Marrakech to me. [music] >> [music] >> Okay. I think I never seen this before. >> [music] >> I think this [music] was Shabbos this, no? Thursday through Shabbos. By invitation only. You've all done Reb boys, here we go. Thank you for bringing the life Kriyas HaTorah. I only joined because of reasons you provided not to join at the beginning of Maseches. That's why I do this thing in the beginning of Maseches. The reason why he joined is because I said why people what are the negatives of the daf? Why people say not to do the daf? That resonated with me. I'm an eiyun guy. It goes in one ear and out the other. I don't remember anything it says in the thing in your belly. Moishe, no, those were the reasons. I'm an eiyun guy. It goes in one ear and the other. I don't remember anything. So because of that he joined. Moishe Abesetz Abba Hotz said Abba Hotz said "New Rochelle, New York." Morocco. Reb boys, I we made it into a few cartoons yesterday. The snow day, 2026 snow day. You have Nachi Gordon on the right. And this is the frum side. Uh Mendy sent this to me last night. This is Shai Stern. Listen to this, Reb boys. Put on the volume a little bit. Reb Shai Stern. Simcha Firestone sent it in. That's not why I put it on. He's talking about Shragga. I DIDN'T HAVE. >> [screaming] >> LISTEN. >> [applause] >> I I received this video yesterday. And I got it from Mendy. And I I was talking to Noam at the time. So I told Noam, "Let me find out who this chosson is. I I could go to his wedding. Let me surprise him." So it turns out I went to his wedding. It was a little over, but I went. Wow. And it's all that See, from here to there, nachas. He made a siyum on Chagiga. Beautiful. Okay, so now it all And I asked Mendy, I said, "Who is the chosson? Try to find out some more information." You did not find out for me. What a surprise. While I'm While I'm showing it, well, what a kiss from Hashem. Did I show you Is this one? Reb boys, I even a snowman coloring in a blizzard. >> [laughter] >> And it can also say "Good morning, REB BOYS, I." AH. I finally got Peter. The Speer brothers in Piscataway, New Jersey. Um I like this one a lot. This was a very good email, for me at least. It sounds like Yaakov Citron. It has everything. It starts with a Y, ends with a V. So it's like Yaakov Citron. Same name. Where is Yaakov? There's two. Dear Reb Steinhart, about a year ago Sanhedrin 77, I joined your shiur and my life hasn't been the same since. I want to take a moment to tell you why. I was hearing you on the Meaningful People podcast and brought me back. And I say back because this wasn't my first attempt at Daf Yomi or even my first attempt with your shiur. But something is different this time. Your tagline "It's not about the daf, it's about the Yomi" hit me in a way it never had before. It finally explained why I had failed. My previous goal had been to learn and understand every daf from beginning to end. For someone who hadn't seriously learned Gemara since college, that's roughly the equivalent of strapping on skis for the first time and pointing yourself down a black diamond. Spoiler, it doesn't go well. But the Yomi changed everything. My new goal wasn't mastery. It was showing up. And starting in middle of Maseches was actually perfect for that. Jumping in on Sanhedrin 77 meant I had no illusions about following everything. How could I? That lowered the bar in the best possible way. The mission became simple. Build the habit. Understanding would come later. And come it did. Over time you build the skills, you reacquaint yourself with old concepts, you meet new ones. And the satisfaction of working through a complex Sugya and actually following it, that's real. That stays with you. Now, let me tell you about the social media itch that your shiur scratches. I'm 54 years old, so Baruch Hashem I'm not part of the social media generation, but I'll admit I spent my fair share of idle time on video games and YouTube looking for something to fill a few minutes and end up choosing the least productive option available. Here's the thing though. When we say "V'ahavta es Hashem Elokecha b'chol levavcha uv'chol nafshcha uv'chol me'odecha", Rashi explains that we must love Hashem with both our yetzers, Torah yetzer and yetzer hara. Well, I have weaponized my yetzer hara for Torah. When I finish a daf and check that box in the ArtScroll app, on the MDY webpage, on my magnetic fridge checklist, please make more of those. And in the WhatsApp retention group, I fed the beast with Torah. And now if I find myself reaching for another Mishnah or a seif of Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in those same idle moments, just to check the box. When I have a few minutes free instead of a Facebook reel. Did I mention I'm 54? I'll knock out another Mishnah or Kitzur Shulchan Aruch seif. That the yetzer hara has been recruited. He works for us now. I also want to address something that comes up, the so-called basicness of Daf Yomi. Yes, the pace is fast. Yes, we don't always go deep. But here's a perspective I picked up while I was in Israel this past January, though of course you were in the US the entire time I was there, which I'm filling separately under complaints. Between Mincha and Maariv, I sat on a chair where I heard something that stopped me cold. We need to learn as much Torah as possible in this world so that we can qualify for this shiur in Olam HaBa. If you never learned Zvachim while you were alive, you simply cannot learn with Hashem in the next world. There's nothing to remember. But if you learned it even quickly, even imperfectly, even if you forget forgot it, when you arrive in Olam HaBa, it comes back to you. The learning was never wasted. It was always an investment for the next cycle of Daf Yomi and for eternity. That reframed everything for me. Fast is fine. Broad is essential. And the practical payoff is real, too. I recently began learning B'Iyun with a Chavrusa, and I can tell you without hesitation the vocabulary, the concepts, the feel of how a Sugya moves, all of it came from Daf Yomi. What I thought was just keeping pace has turned out to be very found the very foundation I needed to go deeper. Daf Yomi doesn't replace serious learning. It makes serious learning possible. So thank you, Reb Eli. You gave me a framework that actually works. A shiur I look forward to and await to learn Torah every single day that fits who I actually am, not who I wished I was at 22. That is no small thing. Thank you truly for everything you do. The Yummy is real and so is the gratitude. Regards, Yummy Citron in New Jersey. A beauty. Love it. >> [snorts] >> Uh the official edition of the Y Shas, the daf. Akiva Krauss in honor of my Kyle. Your support is my greatest motivation. Akiva, you don't even know what daf you picked here.

I didn't see the email. This is in honor of a birthday of Batsheva Yael ben Uri. The Yael Polivat, uh Poliavitz. Shira bas Tova the Yosovich family, last Yeah. All right, boys, uh here we go. >> [clears throat] >> More of the daf today. And actually we're going to get back, finally, going to get back to kocham a little bit. We have a bunch of aggadita to start off. A story happened where a guy goes to Meron, he rents a house, he rents a tzimmer, and he gets there and there are no mezuzahs on the door. So he's furious and he he looks last minute at Serail and he gets a place for Shabbos. Last moment, he got a place for last last minute. And Motzei Shabbos he refuses to pay the first guy. So you gave me a place without a mezuzah, what's wrong with you? Does he have a taina or not? Who's right? Who's wrong? Here's the trick. Let me tell you I say this story again. He rented a tzimmer, a tzimmer. Oh. For for Shabbos. Ah, you rented a tzimmer, tzimmer is like a hotel. It's not chive really in a mezuzah. No, a hotel doesn't need a lock on the door, why does a tzimmer need a lock on the door? How long is a halacha? If you need it, you need it. Let's see. Tanya, we're holding five lines from the bottom of mem gimmel aleph beis. Tanya Reb Meir omer, these are things we're familiar with, it comes from these gemaras. Chayav adam levarech meah brachos bechol yom. There's a chiyuv to make a hundred brachos a day. She nemar ba Torah Yisrael mo Hashem Elokecha asher me imach, mo is a lashon of meah, of a hundred, that's one pshat in Rashi. So here are the hundred brachos. You say by Shma, amapilah, that's one. Netilas yadayim in the morning and Asher Yatzar, it's three already. And then the sixteen birchos hashachar. Shelo asani shelo asani ishah. Sixteen. The chacham is, I don't know if people realize, why do we say these sixteen brachos? Because the maiseh you have to give a shat. No, because we want to get to a hundred. They they were mesaken these sixteen so we could easily get to a hundred. Three birchos haTorah. Tzitzis and tefillin and there's another three. Unless you're Sefardi or Gross, it's only two. Baruch she'amar in Shacharis. The birchos Krias Shma and they include Yoreinu for everybody chutz la'aretz, here in Eretz Yisrael you're missing one. Shmoneh Esrei, even though it's called Shmoneh Esrei it's really nineteen brachos times three. And then you have different brachos at at the seudah. Not mentioned anything about Asher Yatzar, I don't know. Okay. More times during the day? Okay. Zog the gemara. Rav Hillel bar Breida Rav Avio And now we have a problem with Shabbos and Yom Tov. What do you do on Shabbos and Yom Tov? You're missing almost forty brachos. The Shmoneh Esrei is a shorter, there's no tefillin. You're missing thirty-nine brachos based on the on the cheshbon. Torah u'malo, the spark the spark maki u'magdi. So you would fill it up with making brachos on some of them, like we do like on on Yom Kippur, a lot of people do psalim to wake themselves up but also for extra brachos. And eating like nash, megadim, cakes, fruit. Shontzvik. Shabbos party. According to some Rishonim like the Rosh, there's other ways to to be mekayem the mitzvah, the the the brachos on Shabbos. What other brachos could you do on Shabbos? Krias haTorah. Krias haTorah when you when you say amen to all the brachos, you get another eight. Chazaras haShatz, some say these are these are kulos of Torah. No, Krias haTorah also. Krias haTorah. The Rosh says Krias haTorah. Okay. It's like as if you're saying it. If you mechavein by Chazaras haShatz, it's as if you're saying Chazaras haShatz. As if you're saying you say amen, I agree to this bracha, great. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But but it's a kula. It's like it's like the avodah sort of. You're not making yourself. Tanya Reb Meir omer, another one. Chayav adam levarech sholosh brachos bechol yom. You have to make these three brachos every day. Anyway, she'asani Yisrael. So, the reason why it says she'asani Yisrael is because of the the censor. You can't write shelo asani when they're checking your gemaras and very very racist. So they wrote here she'asani Yisrael but they changed it right away. Another reason is, so why isn't it she'asani Yisrael? Thank you Hashem for making me a Jew. The answer is because we're not happy that we were made at all. The famous machlokes Shamai and Hillel it's better that we weren't created. Achshei sh'nivra. So okay, it's still maybe nivra that nivra Yisrael. Next one. Shelo asani ishah. We have more mitzvos than a woman. So baruch Hashem, we're not a woman. The famous in Gur, they don't say ishah. What does a woman say? A woman say no, a woman What does What bracha does a woman make? She'asani kirtzono. They mekabell the din so to speak. She'asani kirtzono. We have less mitzvos, that's how Hakadosh Baruch Hu wanted us. So they say in Gur, they say shelo asani kirtzono. They don't say she'asani, shelo asani ishah. Because you're not saying the word ishah. It's a joke. Shelo asani kirtzono. It's very good. Again. A woman says she'asani kirtzono. And a man says an American doesn't have shelo asani kirtzono. It's more than it's more than it's very good. It's very very good. The Israelis heard it, they understood it. >> [snorts] >> They're not lomdish, you have to know the language. Next one. Shelo asani bur. You didn't make me an am ha'aretz. A bur, I don't know Chumash, I don't know Mishnah. >> [snorts] >> The truth The truth is the truth is you could say you could say this joke or whatever you could say on this this this line also. How come you don't say shelo asani beheimah"? "Shelo asani beheimah", you didn't make me a cow. Because it's a chashash of bracha levatalah. And over here >> [laughter] >> over here also, "Shelo asani boor" might be a problem of bracha levatalah. I'm just throwing it throwing it out there. He heard his son making a bracha, "Shelo asani boor". Amar lei, "Kuli hai nami, what kind of bracha is that?" "Shelo asani boor". "A boor is also chayav mitzvos. You're talking about who's chayav and who's not chayav mitzvos. So, man is chayav in more mitzvos than a woman, so you make a bracha. You're chayav in more mitzvos, you make a bracha. Boor not boor, you're chayav." Says the Gemara, amar lei, "V'il em aim avarch, so what should you say?" Say, "Shelo asani oved". You make a bracha that you didn't make me a slave. Asks the Gemara, "Heino ishah". Now, this guy that donated the daf, I don't want him to show his wife this Rashi. Do not look at Rashi. Rebbeim say, "Please don't look at Rashi." Rashi heino ishah, that Rashi says, I'm just going to read the words and I'm not going to explain them b'chlal. The ishah nami shifcha d'vala. In those generations, there was nishanu hatva'im big time. We we're going with the second pshat here. The Artscroll completely ignores the first pshat, doesn't even bring it. It's not there. Look in the Artscroll, you can't find it there. They And the official edition, I think they also went a little Okay. Truth is, a lot of people ask, well, what I don't understand, "Mah bein ishah l'shifcha d'vala?" You're you're more of a slave to your wife than she is to you. So, the Arizal explains, it's very possible that in our generation, says "Talk" He's talking about his generation, 400 years ago, we are all gilgulim of the dor hamidbar. And in the dor hamidbar, the women didn't sin with the eigel. So, he says, "That's why the men the women are shailos on the men." Now, if in your marriage you feel it's a little different, you should just know that your wife is not from dor hamidbar. >> [laughter] >> What? You're not from the right. Correct. I could point them the pshat in Rashi that we're going to go with to be politically correct. I don't want to insult the many women that uh I It used to be like embarrassing to to tell me, "Oh, I watch daf." Now, wives of roshei yeshivos came over to me, "I watch your daf every day." A sishal a woman at the Shabbaton, she came with her son to Shabbaton, she says, "I I sit with my son and we watch the daf every day." It's like, "Okay." I don't tell them what to do and who to do. I'm not teaching Torah to them. I'm teaching Torah to whoever wants. It's their problem. A lot of them are have left the shiur right now as we speak. >> [laughter] >> So, the Arizal, yeah. Okay, fine. But, what's I could point them so what's "Heino ishah"? "Heino ishah" means in We're talking about mitzvos, a woman and a slave have the same amount of mitzvos. So, what do you gain? Why you can't say the same bracha twice. You already said "Shelo asani ishah", why you saying "Shelo asani oved"? Says the Gemara, "No, oved zilt fei." It's a it's a different level, and that's why we when we say the brachas, we go in a we go in a level. We go from the lower to the higher, so we say "Shelo asani shelo asani oved", and then finally "Shelo asani ishah". Tanu Rabbanan doimeh l'yam. Now, if you're going to go with the with gufa, gufa doimeh l'yam, his body is like similar to the ocean. If you're going to go with the the ptil techeiles and all these other people that that claim that this is the techeiles, you're going to have a hard time explaining this Gemara. They they they they they don't like you know the They come up with all sorts of different explanations. It's similar to the yam. So, the the meaning would be maybe the the the blood that comes out of him is similar to the ocean, has a like a blue a blue dye. His body is is in the shape of a fish. How to explain that exactly? So, I once did a whole thing to try to explain They try to explain it. This is the chilazon. This is This is head, this is a tail. It kind of A fish also goes in such a shape. They have all sorts of explanations. Or doimeh l'dag that it lives in the ocean. It's a it's a aquatic creature. It's hard to get it. Even the Gemara in Shabbos says that they they used to put out nets to catch it. It maybe it does surface on the comes out of the water once every 70 years, meaning it's very rare to see it. It's hard to get to it. And with its blood you make techeiles. L'feifach, dam ovi kar. That's why it's super expensive. Found this video. Um I asked Kobi to take out the sound. There's a woman talking here, so I took out her sound. And just explain why it's super expensive. The the thing that he says all the way at the end of the video is mind-boggling. Here we go. The good thing is that the the gland is located right under the shell. Explains you can't hit you can't hit it too hard, you can't do too soft. If it's the real thing, so everybody in the world right now should come and boom. Also, what's interesting is what he says here, he's trying to make He's trying to make purple, [music] not blue. So, what's interesting is he keeps it indoors, he doesn't let the sun hit it. Cuz if he lets the sun hit it, it turns blue, he says. That he That guy This guy is real. This guy [music] does this for a living. He makes dye. This This guy lives in I forgot. So, now we're just This not guy This guy is not Jewish. This guy is a that makes dye. It looks different than our Okay. And over here he says he covers [music] it and he he makes sure that it shouldn't see the sunlight. Oh, here it goes. And this is how the color will gradually [music] start to develop. Over here, this is what I want you guys to hear. >> [music] >> It took me like 8 months to produce. And it required like 800 lbs [music] of fresh snails. And this is still not completed. 800 lbs of snails. So, you have to go down and grab 800 lbs worth of this stuff. So, that's why it's super expensive. That's why back in the day it was only for kings, for malucha. And what is That's one of the reasons they they didn't allow people to use techeiles then. Today's the last day? Yeah, like Today's the last day, if anybody wants the 50% off, it's right over here. Is it 50 50 for new people, 25 for It's 50 for everybody? Okay. Tanyo Amar Rebbi Nosson >> [snorts] >> Amar Rebbi Nosson, "Eilu mitzvos kalos she'ksuvos baTorah, even a light mitzvah like tzitzis. Easy to look at." If you're looking at You're talking about a easy mitzvah to look at it, that mitzvah. Even the purchase of it is simple. Today you go online, you [clears throat] punch in a code, it comes to your house, ptil techeiles. You go to the store, it's easy to to >> [clears throat] >> a lot easier than getting an esrog, let's say. You have to go You don't have to look and check. It just comes and goes. I mean, although now I'm just selling esrogim on Amazon, that's a different story. You even get s'char in this world. L'olam haba, eini yodei'a kamah. It's You can't fathom how much s'char you get in the world to come. Again, the Vilna Gaon. I could buy tzitzis in this world for a few perutahs, but you can't do it in olam haba. Rebbeim say, here comes one of the most famous stories in Shas. And I To me it was one of It's one of the most powerful stories in Shas. As a matter of fact, when I said the story over yesterday in the Hebrew, I was very emotional. And I I I managed missed things I wanted to say. They're written in my Gemara on piece of paper. God, I just didn't see it. I was chaval. Missed the opportunity. Hopefully I'll say it now. Sailor man with his tzitzis. Look look, here's a story from the mitzvah of tzitzis, mitzvah of tzitzis. Maiseh b'olam echad. There's a story with a person shehayah zariz b'mitzvas tzitzis. He was super careful with tzitzis. Shama she yesh zonah b'karka hayom. He heard about a famous zonah that lived very very far away, very high demand. Sh'ni telas arba me'os zuvim b's'charah. What the Gemara says "arba me'os" is usually it's an exaggeration. A crazy amount of money. Shiglah arba me'os zuvim this ba'al ta'avah sends her the money, wires her the money. L'kabel l'zman. So, you get an appointment. K'shehigia z'mano, came boveh yoshev al pesach. He came to the door. I didn't I don't know why all this a sudden he came to the door, knocked on the door, they brought him in. There must be something here. I don't know what. The wants to point out that she's super wealthy. She had a slave that worked for her. That guy seems like it was not everybody. Maybe he fell for it. I don't know. He was desperate. He paid He overpaid. That guy that sent you the money is here. I'm here. I'm here. You come in. Let him come in. He comes in. This is important to the story. She had seven beds, like bunk beds, one on top of the other. Six were made out of silver, super expensive. A bed made out of gold. And in between each level, there was a a ladder. And the ladder the upper ladder was made out of gold. This is not like a a muscle. This is real. As the is going to say later. She went to the top one. She was undressed. He also went up there with her. Says the a nice miracle happened. Bow, those tzitzis that he was super careful with. He even went to the with it. He didn't bother to remove it. Bow, I have tzitzis of it. Not like when you're in show and all of a sudden you get a zetz from the guy in front of you. They looked at him and they patched him in bottom. They gave him a smack in the face. He says, "Oh, wow. This is This is serious. This is not a normal thing." >> [snorts] >> He immediately He realized that he shouldn't be doing what he's doing. So, he got off the bed. He sat down on the ground. So, he she went and she got off also and she sat down next to him. And she says to him, "I swear to me." She made a a in the name of the Caesar of Rome. She I'm not going to let you go of you until you tell me my what What flaw did you see in me? Everybody tells me I'm perfect, top in the world. I'm a law. I'm I'm swearing back to you. I've never seen a more beautiful woman than you. So, what's the problem? Hello, you want to show me the tzitzis you have? There's a in the Torah that's called tzitzis. Because of it says about tzitzis stay bottom. Now, he's giving you a over there sitting on the floor. Says in the Torah I need to make a plan. Let me tell you he tells the guy. I need you to show me the Torah. I need you to show me the Torah. He learned the Torah. No, it's not brought in the yet. He Maybe he's on the spot. He twice. Why? Because he's going to give a punishment to those who don't obey him. And on the on the flip side he's going to give a lot of money. I actually need more like He changes it a little bit. He doesn't say they smacked him in the face. They're like four witnesses. Those tzitzis this nice miracle I tell her nice miracle happened. They smacked me in the face. Now, these four tzitzis that smacked me in the face, they're going to be like witnesses. They're They're alive and well. More than they did double they did I I did. I can't get away from them. I'm a law. I need you to tell me your name. I need all your details. What's your name? What what city do you live in? What's your Who's your Shiva? What's your What's your What's the name of the Shiva that you go to? Now, this guy First of all, this guy is a guy. This guy is not a a guy. This guy came out of Shiva. And he went [snorts] to He took a ship who knows where. With his tzitzis, with his the bush. And she wants to know all the details. You're not leaving here until you give me your name and number. So, the whole to me it seemed like when I learned the last night in the sheer it didn't sound like a get. The whole law. I need to get out of here. She's holding on to me. She's making my life miserable. Here, take all the info. This is my name. This is my number. I'll see you later. Like it and let me go. I'm the Says the crazy thing happened there. She was very wealthy. And she divided up all her belongings so that she follow this her back to the Shiva. She She gave a third to the kingdom says Rashi to bribe the king to bribe the the the local authorities not going to let her out. First of all, they need her there for her profession. But they didn't want to let her go. So, she gives the famous the famous here in happened here in Mish. There was a a bid war on a one of these bridges over here. And they brought out the Arab guy says he's going to do it for 100 million shekel. So, I had to say well, how do you get to 100 million? He says, "What? Just the material cost 80 and I have to make some profit, 20 20 million." The Russian guy comes and says, "200 million 200 Why 200?" He says, "80 for the material. I need 120 profit." The Jew comes and says, "300 million shekel. 300 What's He says, "100 million so I can pay the Arab to do it for me. 100 million for me and 100 million for you." So, they got the job. >> [laughter] >> You have to give a third to the government. That's a given. >> [laughter] >> It's not a joke. It's a show you call your own. No, no, it's not going to tell you. The boys are why is this one of the most powerful stories in us? Right over here. She gave us a lot of money. She gave money. She wanted to be successful. She wanted to work. She knew that she has to do something positive that she could do over. And give to the poor. You can't be a You can't just give everything away. You got to live. So, she left a third for herself. She also didn't give away all the gold, the bed, the bed, the gold bed, the silver beds. The boss of the Shiva. She had the address. She knew who he was. She knew where to go. She comes to the to the Shiva. I'm a law. She tells the the Shiva Rabbi. I want to become a convert. I want to be become a convert. I'm a law. He calls her in a affectionate way. My daughter. She's still good. You know become a convert if if you have if you want to marry somebody. For a job. The city story about the elevator is is just a a a shame a shame of of the bush over here. A guy comes to the Shiva and says, "Your friend with the whole name here. This is even his handwriting. He came to me. He traveled You know he said he was sick for 3 weeks. No, no. He's on a trip to Europe and he came to visit. Here, this is his name." I'm a law. Say that. If that's the reason if you're becoming a because of the the nice miracle that happened over here, you you you realize there's a law. >> [clears throat] >> You could become a convert. You could become a convert. I want you to marry him. >> [snorts] >> Unbelievable. You see that every single person in this world could do over. Everybody could do over. Even the guy. Who who else was a guy that that that married a Jew? She married a Jew. And even the guy. The guy realized that what he did was wrong. He right away stopped. You can always do over. So, the guy also should see her. Those those beds that she offered him to do a to see her better. She told him to do better. This reminds me of the famous villain guy. I said it a few times, but over here I want to add a pinch. The villain guy says that a person is born with a certain amount of that he's going to have in this world. I I don't I don't know if it's could be. If it is, show me. Some guy said either or or not said that a person is born with a certain amount. It's limited. And he could choose to do the or better. But just because you do it when you eat that hamburger in the airport that that uh cheeseburger, you're not going to gain anything cuz you just took off the board in the what's his name in the in the Marina del Rey. You're going to miss that that ride over there. When you come it's going to be closed out. You're never You're not going to gain that that over. And over here maybe you could add even more. You see that when a person is misgaber on his taiva, he doesn't go for the taiva, then his hana'a, then all of a sudden you could add. I want to be mechadesh something here. Let's say a person gets 100 lbs of hana'a in his life. That's what Hashem has said, you're going to get 100 lbs. So, it's locked out at 100. Over here the Gemara says no, you could add. You could make it 130 also. How? By you being misgaber on your taiva, Hakadosh Baruch Hu gives it to you beheter. Over here this guy went for a one-time thing, was it one one issur. Over here she married him. Not only did she marry him, so he has her beheter forever, plus he got paid millions of dollars. He got the whole the bed, the golden bed and everything. She came in and she's wealthy. It's a big kiddush. O is it matan s'char tzil be'issur or tzil be'heter? Says the Gemara, zeh matan s'char ba'al. This is a Yid who's makpid on tzitzis. He got his full reward in this in this world. And I want to add now something I didn't say yesterday. It's just poshut, as I'm reading it now. What's the matan s'char? The matan s'char is that it saved him, not the millions of dollars. It saved him from the aveira. Rashi says, it's interesting. Rashi says, what's the matan s'char? The beds. It doesn't say he married her. For whatever reason, maybe it means the same thing. They go into it. But over here, seems like matan s'char ba'al aveira zeh. The tzitzis actually saved him from a big aveira. Forget the money, the millions that he made off it. The lo mebayi de'akka ba. Could you imagine if this is in this world, what happened in the world to come? Gevaldig. There's a a little bit of a video here to bring it down to our you don't want to ruin it, but this is just to bring it to to to our musagim. No, no, no. The problem is not what you think it is. The problem is something else completely. How could you make it even worse than this? But just explain that to Americans. Over here in Eretz Yisrael, before Purim, when the word when Adar comes around, you start getting knocks every 14 minutes on your door. And the first thing you do is you go to the people and you check who it is, and you usually see two younger bachurim there. What are they coming for? Tapped. This is the to help the bachurim yeshiva to buy clothing with tov kitl toyir. So, here we go. Just a It it That part is very accurate. The next part is completely off. Okay. Maiseh ba'al tzitzis ba'al aveira. Everything great so far. They wanted 12,000 each bachur. That's mamash the Shu'i Gimmel. Doesn't want to take the money from the gambling. Tzitzis stole nothing. Wow. He gave it beheter. >> [laughter] >> All right. Zog die Gemara. As long as I see Reb Willy have a no in the back over there, it's good. It's good. I just want to say a quick shalom aleichem. Shalom, what's your name? Itzig Oppenheim. From? Baltimore. Shalom aleichem. Nice to meet you. Ve'ezeh Yid in the back? Anybody want to say their Let me ask him what what his name is. No no no no no no no no. I'm not I'm not finished. Okay, what about you? You want to say your name? No. No. You? What about you all the way in the back holding the What? The right there the name the name is the Rebbi. >> [laughter] >> Shalom aleichem, what's your name? Gombo. Shalom aleichem, from? Baltimore. Oh, got it. So, who does the daf? You or him or neither? You try You're trying it out. Gevaldig. Great. What what? You both do the daf. You want? Kol hakavod. Thank you for coming. Your name? You want to say your name? What's your name? Every day I ask you? Rosenthal, from? Mishkan Ha'Aretz. Mishkan Ha'Aretz. Oh, that's right. You hold your glasses last time also. I said There's a You're Mishkan Ha'Aretz. Gevaldig. Zog die Gemara. Omer Rebbi Yehuda, talis sh'ulah k'sulah min hatzitzis. If you borrow a talis from somebody, you beg it from someone, you don't have to put on tzitzis. There's a nice shaila that they ask about Purim. Does a Purim costume need tzitzis? Let's say it has dalet kanfos. Does it require tzitzis? I don't see why not. But, you know, some people might think, "Listen, you bought it in China. It just came out. You put it pulled it out of the package. You're only wearing it for a few hours. Let's throw it out." Something to think about. Mekantzei lechayeves if you borrow clothing for more than 30 days, you're chayav in tzitzis mid'Oraisa. Tain ami ha ki. Hadar befundik be'Eretz Yisrael. I know of a person. I said hello to him a bunch of times. Every time I go to the Waldorf, he's there. And I realized this guy is there. They're like I used to go to the Waldorf every time my father-in-law came to Eretz Yisrael, and that was very often. And the guy is there four five times a year. And what's go How's the chat? So, I went over to him, "Shalom aleichem, what's going on?" He said he has a place in Borough Park or something. He wants to move to Eretz Yisrael. Four years later, the guy is still there in the wall. He lives in the Waldorf. Mamash, in the Waldorf. A guy that I know now from Kirill, from Chicago. He sold his house, has nowhere to go. Now he lives in the Waldorf. There's such a thing. The mazel is that there's mezuzahs on the Waldorf door. But if not, you would have to provide a mezuzah over there. Hadar befundik be'Eretz Yisrael. If you live in a hotel in Eretz Yisrael, ba'asiras bayis bechutz la'aretz. You know Kirill? Ba'asiras bayis I don't know what. Cheap not cheap. Ba'asiras bayis bechutz la'aretz. If you rent a house in a chutz la'aretz, k'sulah shloshim yom mipnei mezuzah. You don't have to put up a mezuzah for 30 days. Rashi says cuz you might regret it. You might want to back out of it. So, they discuss what if you know for sure you're not, you know, you're stuck in a lease. Maybe you are chayav right away. Mekantzei lechayeves. Chayav. More than 30 days, you're chayav in mezuzah. Aval asiras bayis be'Eretz Yisrael, asiras mezuzah altar. If you rent a house in Eretz Yisrael, you should put a mezuzah right away. Mishum yishuv Eretz Yisrael. A very interesting halacha occurred to me yesterday. A lot of times like I have I said I I spend a lot of money on my stam, on mezuzahs. So, let's say I have $200 mezuzahs, just for argument's sake. I sell my house. I'm under contract. I don't want to give the guy the $200 mezuzahs. I have to give a mezuzah, but I have to give him $200? So, I put a $25 a $50 mezuzah in there. Let him let him worry about it. Not allowed. Not allowed. That's what it came out yesterday. I was shocked. Why? You're looking at me like crazy. Because when you write a contract, it includes all the stuff on the walls. It includes the fixtures. You cannot change out a fixture now. I I want to take the chandelier. I'm going to put in a cheaper Home Depot one. Doesn't work like that. Once you sign the contract, it's in. You're locked into what's on the wall. You're locked into what's on the wall, and it includes the mezuzah. Ask your local Rabbi, "I'm throwing this out." Cuz to me it didn't make sense. Let me just switch it out. Am I not required to give the mezuzahs?" No. It's included. And I looked it up also. The legal law in America is the mezuzah is included in your contract. That's double property. I forgot what it's called. I I I didn't say they're part of the house. It's attached to the wall. Attached to the wall. What? Okay. Fixtures. Yeah, fixtures on the wall. Vaiter. Tefillin shel yad u'shel rosh. Sorry. Yeah. Tefillin shel yad u'shel rosh. Omer Rav Chisda. So, we learned in the Mishna that if you only have one one of the two tefillin, you have shel rosh or shel yad, put it on. I skipped? I'm allowed? I'm shumei shuv Eretz Yisrael. We want him to stay there. Maybe I missed those words. I want him to stay there. Uh put put your put your mezuzah. Now you have to switch out the mezuzahs. This halacha of switching out mezuzahs Rashi brings down. That's why I remembered it. And you'll you'll live in Eretz Yisrael be'yishuv Eretz Yisrael. Tefillin shel yad u'shel rosh. If you just wear the the tefillin of yad, even though you don't have shel rosh. Omer Rav Chisda, she'eino she'yeish lo. If you have both and you want to wear one, it's like kol ha'ro'eh lo be'lo im be'lo makiv. If you have both, so you don't you only wear one out of two. Okay. Aval ein lo im makiv. It's a halacha that's very hard to understand, and the Gemara is going to take it back right away. If you don't have If you don't have two, do not wear one. If you only have one, don't wear that one. Why? The Gemara is going to explain later. Omer lo, "Amarte?" You said such a thing? Omer lo, "I know. I'm taking it back." Elo mande leslei trey mitzvos mitzvah lo le'eved. This I'm telling you tell you tell people. Tell go over to people that are not so observant, or especially kids that go off. I tell it to them, they love it. Besides the Shabbos, I told it to my niece. She's like, "Oh, you You're not telling me any kiddush Hashem." I said, "I do what you tell say." I said, "Go ahead over there." I said, "Listen, sometimes a person has a taiva to be mechallel Shabbos. But it doesn't mean it's all or nothing. Just because you started out the day being mechallel Shabbos, doesn't mean you can't keep 5 minutes. Try to keep 5 minutes." Poshut, of course I do that. Vada. Okay, most people didn't tell that to me. Most of these guys, the younger guys, they said, "Really? You could do that?" I said, "Yeah." Not during your sleep. Try to do it while you're awake. Say, "Rebono shel Olam, I have a taiva. I can't I need to smoke a cigarette, but these 5 minutes I'm not." Rebono shel Olam loves that stuff. That's what the Torah says here. Cuz you can't do two, don't be a perfectionist. Cuz you can't do two, so you don't won't do any? That makes no sense. Do one out of the two. Yes. Same thing with the daf, same thing with everything else. You shouldn't do one. When we call ourselves, so what was When we call ourselves, what was thinking to begin with? If you tell a guy you could only you could only you could get away with one, he won't do it at all. He won't go by the yeah, he won't go by the other one. What did I say? I don't know what I said. I'm in a rush. If you tell a guy you could just wear one, he'll stay with one for the rest of his life. I didn't see this one. So, I'm watching it with you for the first time. It's a tallis shul. It doesn't look like it has This isn't at home. Ah. Right. But it looks like he does. Maybe a little louder, Garrison. Macht es ist Luft zu leben. Uh-huh. All right, let's see this. If you don't wear tfillin, you're over in eight. What do you have eight? Because you have two a say in the Torah by you the total of five. Times the four parshiyos that you wear is eight. If you don't have tzitzis, look at these five. What else is there? The reason why I say and you're saying g'dillim and tassaloch. So, these are the five. You don't do duchaning for us. Where's David? He's not here today. We need a cohen. What are the three aveiros that a cohen get? Down in the first minyan, that cohen, so we need a cohen. These are the three that if you're there not if you're at home, but if you're in the shul and you don't do duchaning, you're over in these three. Co- shalom b'Yisrael. If you don't have a mezuzah in your doorway, over b'shnei assei uchsavtum twice it says, you're over in two aveiros. V'avrishoch. Call hameniach tfillin mar yomam. If you wear tfillin all day, not one time, you wear it all the time mar yomam, it's a sgulah for arichus yamim shenemar Hashem aleihem yichyu. So, the the Gemara's darshaning Hashem means the tfillin that are on you, Hashem is Shem Hashem Yud Keh Vov Keh Shakai that's on your head, aleihem yichyu. We'll we'll we'll give I'll bring you back to life, so to speak. Turning of the daf. A dark global happy clients all year, not just this month. lishadach.com Please red a shidduch today. Rebbe says, here we are daf mem dalet amud beis. Back to kodshim. Ah. Ishmak. I missed kodshim. I don't know how long it was, like 3 weeks or something. A guy wrote me an email today. He's like I the swear he started a flamed. He's loving it. Mamish every day. >> [laughter] >> I didn't want to tell him um it's mem dalet today, rebbi. We're doing kodshim today. He thought the whole Shas. He's like, "Wow, this is unbelievable. It's mamish a chazak rebbi. My whole life changed already." Uh yeah. Story after story. Keep on going, rebbi. Keep on going. No, we're going to have a lot of fun Gemaras in in the future, but here we go, back to back back to Menachos. Hashaylos v'hashaman. A person who brings either an oila or a shlamim, it comes together with other things. You bring it with flour, with with wine, with oil. We're continuing with the theme. How do we get into all this aggadah? Because the theme of the last perek was things that are m'akev and things that are not m'akev one another. Right? So, we said that chelev is not m'akev the loveen. This is We started with chelev because chelev is not m'akev the loveen and loveen is not m'akev chelev. In other words, you can do one without the other. Tfillin, the rosh is not m'akev the yad and the yad is not m'akev the rosh. The Excuse me. They're independent mitzvos. And now we're continuing with that theme. The flower is independent of the of the of the wine. So, you could bring the flower one day and bring the wine the next day. You could bring it. You don't need to have everything together. You could bring the wine without the without the It's also on different days. By the way, you could also bring a carbon mincha like a nesachim by itself without the korbanos. We're talking about with the oila, with the shlamim. Hamatonos hamizbeiach, we're referring to the blood that's sprinkled on the mizbeiach. We have We spoke about this extensively. Here's Here's a very common muscle. Putting on a sina, it's very narrow over there. So, let's say he forgets. He He got the you know, they called him up. They said they they have a major issue with the computer here in MDY. He runs off the mizbeiach after he did one, one application. That's okay. The owner gets a kaparah even though in a chatas you have to do four applications and all other korbanos you have to do two which are four. One is is b'seder. It's not the best thing, but if you That's what happened, that's what happens. Here, this is mizbeiach achitzon. The outer mizbeiach. So, if you put one application here instead of doing all four, or you spray it on a shnayim shemayim hits the corner and grabs two walls. That's enough even though you're supposed to do it on this wall as well. Says the Gemara Torah Rabbanan. So, we have a simple Gemara here. Just How do we know what comes first? Does the flower come before the wine or the wine comes before the flower? So, the Gemara brings a passuk to show this way and Rebbe says, "No, the passuk the different passuk shows it this way." And the Gemara says, "Okay, but then what does each person do with other person's passuk?" So, says the Gemara, "It's very very simple." First bring the flower, then the wine. First you bring the carbon, the zevach, and then you bring What do you bring immediately afterwards? Wine, nesachim. To show the oila there's nesachim, you pour the wine over here, there's two sheepim over there. And there's on top of the mizbeiach, you pour it, okay. That comes immediately after the carbon. Before, says Rebbe, before the flower. Now, we have to understand what's Rabbanan say um mincha sam, you bring the flower, then comes nesachim, then comes wine. So, it says flower comes first. So, what what does each one do with other person's passuk? Rebbe Nachman says um mincha sam, flower comes before wine. And Rebbe Nachman says um mincha b'laila, you can bring it also at night. Um mincha sam afilu l'machar, you can bring the next day. He learns something else from it. Rabbanan, but what do Rabbanan do with Rebbe's passuk? Nami zevach nesachim, it seems like immediately after the carbon you bring wine and then only afterwards, step three, is bring the flower. And Rebbe Nachman says zeri, the comes to say another halacha from zeri. Ein nesachim. Everybody in this room would think that when does the wine become kodesh? When you put it into that special k'li shareis over here. Yossi did it funny. It has like a see-through cuz he wants you to see what's in there. It's wine. And this one has oil, but obviously that's not the way it is in the Beis Hamikdash. But this is a k'li shareis. It's a It's a golden vessel. You put oil in there, boop, it becomes kodesh as you put it in. No, no, no, no, no. It becomes kodesh after you shecht the carbon. That's it. That's the zeri. Rebbe Nachman says zeri, but Rebbe also has to learn it from somewhere. It's possible that that's how it works. How does he know it? And Rabbanan needs to know How do you know that I can bring a mincha the next day? Oh, so we're taking it back. Rabbanan oila mincha. First you bring a carbon, then afterwards you bring the flower. Step three is what? Wine. Rebbe Nachman oila mincha, what What's he doing with the passuk? Ela, we're doing another thing. When they all come all three of them together, everything on this table right here. They have a carbon, flower, and wine. This Everybody agrees there's one order. How do you do it? The mincha, first comes the flower. V'ach ach nesachim, wine is number three. D'och seiv oila mincha. That it says in the passuk. First comes the the carbon, the oila, then comes the flower. Afterwards comes the the wine. K'pli gi b'vaim b'fnei atzmo. If it comes by itself without a carbon the what? You brought the carbon on Sunday. On Monday you want to bring the flower and the wine. Now we have a argument. We already established the order. Flower comes before wine. Doesn't matter when you bring it, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. First comes flower, then comes wine. Easy, no? Rebbe Nachman d'achila gamur l'kulam mis d'achila. You brought an oila onto the mizbeiach, that's called eating. The The mizbeiach is eating, so to speak. So, therefore you got to finish up with the food stuff. What's food? You have two items in front of you, flower and wine. Which one of them is food? Flower. So, it goes flower. Am b'fnei atzmo, but when it comes by itself, nesachim adifi. Wine has more importance than flower. So, that's why when they come by themselves, I say do do wine first. Hoyil d'mizbeiach am b'shira alav, because you have to say the Leviim sing and when they sing that that singing that they do with the oila and with the wine makes it more awesome than the flower.
