Mishna Berura Daf Hashavua 95:4,95:1 Not Holding Items During Tefilla

okay good morning we're continuing we're up to sim really up to sim we just have to finish one in and that is it is a good idea to put your feet together even when you say kadus with the by the way it's interesting there are two reasons why we put our feet together by the gave a reason is cuz you're speaking with the so you have to remove all physical uh desires and to try to be similar to a Mal that's the first reason you want to be like a Malak that would apply even if you're sitting in a wagon or um we pointed out that maybe a woman then would not have to put their feet together because there's no inion of by women but there's another reason to put your feet together like the Kim and that reason would apply to uh to women as well so that's what we saw in um to be comparable to the that are going in the B mikash that comes by the way these two reasons are found in the in fine so here we're H we're learning that for kadha you're not required to put your feet together but it's a good idea in other words you know people take it could you hear me people take it very seriously people uh take the uh very seriously the denim of putting your feet together by kadus but it seems like it's uh it is not it's not so it's just a nice thing to do and it's not even sourced in the gar why so says the uh because you say in you say but some people have they could switch to ashas so it's okay they could say that also so uh it's in order to be similar to the now how long should you put your feet together when you D in um the they ride until the end of in other words you should keep your feet together until the finishes the explains that the end of the is the conclusion of K especially those who and they say which is the end of listen to the words also says that you should be concerned for this except for rash and yipper that there's a very lengthy third you know I always wondered about this and then you don't say you had you have all that stuff then you don't have to be um you don't have to be careful in other words according to you could be make because I guess it's so long however the Andi say that you do not have to be M even the rest of the year fine you should remove all distractions in order to be able to have when you're ding you should not hold you should not hold you should not hold a full plate of tomatoes or anything else and you should not hold a knife or money or you're thinking about it so it doesn't fall and you're going to be distracted it's going to be at its right time you're lad to hold since holding it in your hand is a you will not be distracted basically you're now to hold things um while you why because it's distracting now this is not just talking about because otherwise why are we talking about L there's no I guess for those who would hold the LV the whole day okay so so let's assume it is talking about specifically and it's because it's distracting says the same thing with would be at the time of kishma Andra I you're even allowed to do your work if you have a job during krishma so why can't you hold something says that's because of otherwise you can't even hold something during um so you want to know what does that mean you can hold a cell phone in your hand during davening of course not you can't hold the cell phone even if it's off even if your cell phone is off you're not to hold it during daving you can't hold anything you're not a whole thing what about if it's on I just want to show you something very interesting in the uh the pis Chas Sim not just to hold in your hand to have it on you how it is to have it on you it's likely to Ring to disturb everyone else it's worse than any other type of disturbance during daving it's worse than walking within somebody's you're making laugh a laughing stock out of the even if you put on vibrate that you're the only one who feels it all about ah comes and the says it's true that if you hold something that's likely to disturb your kavana you don't have to DAV again yeah you don't have to D again but also your is not listened to so basically um if somebody wanted to ensure that their filer would not be listened to they could just bring a cell phone into the show it's so easy you know it's very easy to have your not listen to just have a phone on you during daving that would be an easy way let's say like CL is in a and you wanted to cause harm to the Jewish people then you could do that by just bringing your phone in you to the sh okay I know I never said that before okay you should not you don't have to again you don't have to Dom again unless you know that you didn't have it's for to hold the sa in his hand when he says you now this from here we see something very important that this that you're now to hold something during daving applies to mat it applies todal it applies to you cannot hold anything the entire daving because otherwise why would we need to say that aat could hold a sa during is not or the the D brings from the P you'd be allowed to hold on at the time of the since your is to for those who learn therefore you hold the sa in your hands you're not guarding it it's your to pray for those who learn that's very interesting number one it's interesting because we don't hold the sa Tyro when we say I don't think the doesn't hold the when he says you can par on but you'd be allowed to because you're daving for the so it's not that you're you're not it's not that you're sh it you're holding it to D for T the person did holding it yeah but he's talking about the shots know he's not talking about the guy doing hgba the person didg and is holding he also l oring he's holding it to guard it but the Mish is not talking about him Mish talking about the shots and saying the shots could hold it because I'm just pointing out we don't by us the shots does not hold it um the says that by L that since it's even even though you're focused on a little bit it's not by the way we hold that someone who holds a for the whole doing it's allow to hold when you why because by holding the safe for Tyra he he quotes from the that's your will be your will be more which gives a new understanding of the let's say that the one holding the when you're holding a the are more more you hear when you hold the is okay or you shouldn't hold a saer any book or or a plate full of food your attention is going to be on it so it should not be poured out and by a knife you're going to be careful you're thinking about it that it doesn't fall out of your hands and get stuck in your foot money that scatter and even if they're bound up you're worried maybe they'll be ruined unless you hold them in a way that there's no concern that they might get lost the B writes that it's user to position a child in front of you at the time of daving why cuz it's disturbing you know many many um fathers they like to be good Fathers so they dedicate their babysitting time to shakas so they come in with the kid the kid doesn't even know the alipas but don't worry if you plug him with enough lollipops if you stick nine lollipops in his mouth at once he won't make any noise so uh that's not the time to to bring little kids into a sh it disturbs you and it disturbs other people if you can't hold a tomato in your hand by doing cuz you're afraid that uh it might disturb you Tomatoes make less noise than kids by the way just pointing out schlomo what do you say who makes more noise kids or tomatoes schlomo says Tomatoes make more noise but now he's just joking um kids actually make more noise than tomatoes so if you can't hold a tomato not a good idea to bring a kid or money or a that if they fall it will be a loss or they'll get damag you're allowed to hold meaning according to this way of understanding it's daa picking um items that if they fall they will either hurt you or get ruined or cause a loss but let's say other things I don't know what a battery you could hold some you know I happen to have a lot of batteries here so but some say it's not it's not only a loaf or a um it's not only a loaf or money but anything else a typical thing the truth is you shouldn't hold anything at the time of daving okay there's a question are you allowed to hold or a in your hand if you're afraid because of the could be it's permitted if you're holding it to guard it from and AER falls on the floor what should you do what you do you continue ding what do you mean what should you do oh but the guy can't have kavana oh if then the guy can't be then you're allowed to pick it up when you fin the that you are in middle of what if you have to walk to get the book so again if it's not disturbing you you don't interrupt if it's disturbing you you could even walk and get it but if it's not disturbing you don't interrupt certainly you should not motion with your finger V Val let's say you began dessay and you got discombobulated meaning you ding by heart you're middle of and you heard the long and then all a sudden you're saying for you're saying the for you don't know what you don't know what going on you don't know where you are what you're up to you allow to get up and go you could walk in get a what if you're middle of Alan and you realize hey I don't know Alim I only know the song part so says it could be you could get out of your place and go get a sid if you could be moram to somebody to bring you a sid it's better to do that [Music] what if you have a you're allowed to go to take out of and look up the and what if you can't figure out the you could ask a in middle of and what if it takes a long time enough time to finish the says you only have to go back now um what if okay rabai we will hold it over here okay everyone have a good day I will see you next Monday the next couple of days raber will give and in the meantime I wish everybody a good rest of the week call time
