You
my
[Music]
birthday.
[Music]
Okay. Should we start?
Yeah.
Okay.
First of all, uh I found a situs
factory. So, whoever's uh interested in
coming at 2:00 in the afternoon is when
all the machines are working. So, 2:00
in the afternoon seems like the time we
need to find out what when works for
everyone. What day is the best day? So,
I guess maybe deal with
either Monday or Wednesday.
Monday or Wednesday. Okay.
um
we have to discuss the details of the
trip and I guess you'll be in touch with
them to work out you know the final
details
make a decision based on majority able
to make it
okay how people work
right
okay okay
fine
delicious about delicious
you let me know when we're live we're
live
we've been live okay that's a bit
awkward
I'm not sure if they're still doing it
but um
place in uh Mr. Ramb down the corner
from here
onto
No, we're going to a factory. We're
going to
the strings.
Making the strings.
So, it comes into the factory as wool
and it comes out as a string. How do
they do it? So, very very interesting.
Popped in there for a couple of minutes.
Interesting vibes.
is do they have
something else?
Yeah. Okay. Today we're going to do
something different. I want to start off
talking about something about the para
um more specifically a point to ponder.
We're going to ask a question, a moral
dilemma and we're going to find out what
the tur says about it.
We're going to ask the question. We're
going to discuss it a little bit. Then
we're going to learn about for a while
and then we're going to say the answer
at the end of the sh
you know gives you time to think about
it.
We're going to have a we're going to
discuss a question about the parish
and then we're going to discuss it a
little bit and then we're going to go
into
and then we're going to say the answer
at the end of the sh.
In this week's parisha, we have Bolock
sends a whole load of
advisers and ministers
to Bum to try and persuade him to come
and curse Kalisra.
And Balock asks Hashem, Hashem says,
"Pack it in. This is, you know, this is
not what you should be doing." So he
sends another load of people. And the
lash ak is he says even if you give me
bam says to balak even if you give me
all the money in the world I can't do it
I can't do it. So rashi points out over
here that you see from bum's statement
even if you give me all the money in the
world that he had his eye on their
money. He knew that really they needed
to pay him a good amount and that he
wanted it. He said bum was
had a for a strong desire for money.
Rashi puts this down very strongly. We
see from here bum had a strong desire
for money which brings out the point of
m there's a
a topic
uh an idea which is classified as bad
which is a love of money. A love of
money. It's a it's something to be
explored. I don't want to explore that
point itself. Something similar
how to
put business
together with the Tory ideals which we
all strive for. I'm going to give an
example. Give an example and then we're
going to try and understand it a bit
better.
About 5 years ago, I was married for
maybe about 8 months. I came to Eritis.
I settled down in one of the
neighborhoods in Yoshalim and we rented
a place
which the Balira had two apartments. One
apartment was where we were. It had a
bedroom and then it had a nice size
kitchen, dining room, balcony, cute
little place. That was one apartment.
The apartment next door was a Tim
allin-one. So, it had a bed and a little
table, a little kitchen area, and a
shower allin-one. And ours was a
long-term rental. And the one next to us
was a short-term rental. So, every
couple of days, sometimes weeks,
sometimes months, we'd have a new person
next door. Hi, bye. You know, that's how
we lived our life for a couple of months
of our married life.
One day a lady moves in next door. We're
used to all different types of people
moving in.
She was seemed a regular American lady.
She'd come from America and she told us
that her husband was planning to they
were planning to make aliyah and she
came earlier. Fine. We got talking to
her. We noticed she looks a bit lonely.
So we invited her for a Friday night
meal. So it was a nice meal. We had a
nice time. She was upset with my wife
that she'd, you know, put margarine in
one of the foods she served without
telling her. She's like, "It's so good."
My wife said, "Yeah, margarine is the se
margarine." She wasn't very she wasn't
very happy with her, but otherwise it
was a lovely meal. That Friday night
happened to be the Friday night before
it all happened. If you remember 5 years
ago just around current time there was
talk about some interesting virus that
was going on in China and people were
dying left right and center and they
were talking that it's beginning to go
across the world that's when the news
started trickling in pur people weren't
sure there was some like funny songs
about uh corona you know there's a
famous song
so it got changed that year the Corona
Corona Corona.
Anyway, people weren't sure. It was all
up in the air. No one knew how it was
going to play out.
We after Purim, it got a bit more
serious. We heard that places in Europe
are shutting down. So, we thought the
best idea is we had a year contract. We
took it from the summer. We thought the
best is to try and get someone to take
our DRA.
the son should take our apartment cuz
maybe we won't be able to get back. We
saw airports were shutting and this lady
her husband was making aliyah.
So she knocked on. She said, "Maybe I
can take your DRA." If you're not
planning on coming back after Pesak cuz
you're not sure what's going to happen
and you want to, you know, pack up all
your boxes cuz you think you're going to
get stuck in England. We're going back
to England for Pesak. Then maybe just
give me your DRA. Sublet the deer to me.
Sounded simple. We were happy with that.
We were saving the money that we
possibly could lose out, which in
retrospect was true. We would have lost
out a lot of money.
We sat down. We went downstairs to the
bald. We signed all the papers. She was
okay with it. The the lady who lived
next door me was okay with it. Everyone
was okay. End of meeting. So she was
taking it in about 3 weeks just before
Pes when her husband is coming.
Everything's great.
A little later we get a knock on the
door. The lady from next door who was
taking our deer knocks on. She says,
"You're leaving tomorrow? Is that
right?" So I said, "Yeah, I'm leaving
tomorrow." She said, "No one's in the D
anyway. Can I have it from tomorrow?"
So I said, "Sure, if you pay." So she
said, "If I pay, you're not here. That's
not She's screaming at me. That's not
okay. Why? Why do you need my money?
You're not here. You're not losing out.
Why can't I have it?" So I said, "We
just had a whole meeting downstairs. I'm
paying for the DRA for the next 3 weeks.
It's true. I'm not going to be there,
but you're taking it for free. You know,
we can discuss it. I have to give it to
you.
She was screaming.
She was livid. It's not okay. It's not
Yasha's thing. That's not how you
behave.
I thought she was crazy.
You're laughing.
You had to realize we were packing
everything in the entire that day. It
was the pressure was immense. My wife
had someone over to help pack it. I
don't know what to do. She knocked on a
bit later saying that I won't really pay
for the next I'm not going to take the
the the dra for the next couple of
months if you don't give it to me.
Starts threatening me. I said, "What's
going on over here?" I was getting a bit
maybe she's right. Maybe I'm not being
al Maybe she's right.
How do you behave?
Right. How not only how do you behave is
this is it I I'm paying for three weeks.
I'm paying for her to be in my deer.
Sounds a little bit crazy. Not only
that, I can rent out the deer.
We don't know.
Like half price would be a good place to
start.
Right. Right. I would think something
like that. But how do you get to half
price?
Say no. And then she kicks up a fuzz and
then she says, "Okay." But meanwhile,
she was like beginning to break down. I
was thinking maybe she's like a bit
unstable. You know, all the pressure
with with COVID and her husband being
stuck across.
The question was I called up a Rav I
said in business I broadened the
question a little bit and I made a a a
broader question about business. Do you
say business is business? There's a term
out there. Business is business. Very
nice. You're my cousin. Very nice.
You're my friend. We're selling
something here. Business is business. So
I turn around to this lady. I say we had
a meeting. We decided what we're doing.
If you want to have the DRA, pay
business is business. Or do I say,
"Look, she's she looks a little bit
unstable." She did look a bit unstable
the way she was shouting. What do you
say? Who cares?
Yeah. Why would you want to do business
already?
I did business already. I was getting
something from it cuz she was taking it
for the 5 months that I would have lost
out. I didn't get back until close to
the summer.
She signed.
She'd signed.
That's it.
Of course. That's it. discussion,
right? It's the end of discussion.
She scream what she wanted,
right? So, David here says she could
scream what she wants. Zagaban, she
closed the door. Okay, I hear that.
That's how I felt. This is what I asked
the rabbi his answer and the reason for
his answer. We're going to discuss after
this a
okay
the question we're going to be
discussing today in hittus
is
can a make titus I don't know if
you're aware but to hire an Arab in this
country is way cheaper than hiring a Jew
in lots of countries sometimes you can't
you know take a littleetle I don't know
take a little place in Switzerland
little community how many Jews do they
have let's say a couple of hundred
families maybe less and this person
wants to make tits wants to open a
factory. So he has does he has to drive
in a whole bunch of moshulas and yankas
and yoies in order to make his factory
or can he use the local the local people
who are there it's a it's a big question
this initi is a big question because you
know cheap labor Arabs are much cheaper
or do you have to make sure to get a ye
this is the million-doll question which
we're going to discuss today
if you have a source sheet feel free to
look inside if you don't feel free to
space out or listen along song. We're
going to start with source number four
just to make it exciting.
You can pass them around if you'd like.
We're going to start off with source
number four. Source number four is the
discusses this very shila.
Now note there are two parts of titus
which we could be discussing. One part
of tits is making the strings that is
spinning it in order that you can get
from wool into a thread into a a what's
the word a thread or we're discussing
actually putting in the titus through
the hole and making all your knots.
Putting tites through the hole and
making the knots.
The gar learns out only a ye can make
titus. That means making the knots,
putting it through the hole, making a
actual titus that we have over here.
Doing this, putting it through that is
only a yeided can do. That is a garra.
What about preparing it? What about
making the actual string? That is the
million-doll question to put the string
through. That's a pos. Put it through to
make the t to make the knot. That's a
pos already. What about to make the
string to to intertwine to twine the
string
dov is to take it from being a thread
we're going to see it in the factory
twining it okay
can go do that to explain the sh a
little bit more it needs to be done it
has to be doneus
it can't just be done
let's have a look at the says the go if
a non-Jew
does the spinning does the twining as we
say here
and you have a Jew watching he's on top
of him he's carefully looking at him
he's telling him
John or in this country Ahmed
says okay
the ram says it's poss
And the rash says it's
okay.
If you have a doing it by himself,
it's very clear here. It's going to be
poss if you have a ye standing on top of
him and telling him do it's ra says it's
ple the rash says it's kosha.
The ram I didn't bring it in the
sources. He quotes a Gomorrah. The
Gomorrah says a rule which sounds a
little bit um mean. That's not really
mean. We're going to see what it means.
That a does it.
He does it independently.
We're going to look into that a bit. The
reason why we don't trust a when
he's doing it because he does it
independently. We're going to have a
look at that. Let's have a look at
source number one. This is a gamarra in
gin. When somebody has to write a get
you have a sofa who's writing a get it
has to be done this of applies to many
different mitzvah in the applies to mat
it applies to it applies to
many different things says the
everyone is kosher to write a get anyone
write a get
for cotton someone who's a someone who's
a cotton
they all cauter to write a it. Okay,
let's go straight to the Gomorrah. The
last line on that box. Frank the
Gomorrah. The garra asked a question.
They don't have desot.
They do not have don.
A cotton doesn't have d. What does d
mean? Why is it cotton?
Oh, why is it kasha? That's the kasha.
How can it be kosha? How can it be
kosher? They don't have d. Rashi over
here says so that they don't have d. If
they don't have das, they can't do a
lishma. Das means
a mind that you can rely on, right? Lots
of times you can have kids. You see it
in these contests. They're way way
cleverer than anyone in this room with
your permission. Right? You see
sometimes these whizzes. You can have a
9-year-old who knows maths and you tell
him what's 180* 3 billion, I don't know
what, they come up with it in seconds.
What does it mean? He doesn't have d. So
my rebi
he says that the idea of not having d
means they don't have
d is like a maturity. You can't rely on
them. It's like you can have a a
9-year-old boy who's a very mature
responsible person but all of a sudden
his sibling will do something he'll turn
around and give him a slap. Right? So no
adult would do that. They they don't
have a they don't have what you can rely
on. They don't have a backing. If a kid
says he'll do something, he might be
very smart. You might be a very clever
person, but they don't have D. D is a a
a stronger
maturity. It's a maturity. Okay, that's
what D means.
And here it goes into number two. This
is where the Gmorra goes into number
two.
It's in the Gmorra. The Gar is in the
middle.
You know when you have a cotton and a
making the get when you have a god
standing on top of him
supervising making sure he's doing
says the
if you can have someone standing on top
of someone who cannot make right get and
if you have someone standing on top of
it's okay can I go write it maybe we can
have I'm going to write again
maybe
says the
you're going to say that it does work in
the psle
is ple
cannot write a get. So you see this
magic trick of having somebody standing
on top of him doesn't work says the
nonju does it on his own minded
he goes he doesn't do it according to
what the ye tells him let's look at
rashi what does that mean
says rashed
of it what does it mean says rashi the
hog god who he is an adult
and he has D
even though the who's standing on top of
him is saying uh John make sure you do
this and he says okay man I'll I'm going
to do it he says even though he tells
him
maybe he's decided in his head to do it
for something else I don't know maybe he
doesn't he he's a responsible adult he
you know we only don't really listen
need to listen to this Jew who's telling
me what to do. So he tells him to do it,
but really he's not doing it.
That's that's the issue here. A a
somebody who is a minor aim,
he doesn't have dance only for the what
the person tells him. So if you have a
child and a adult tells him to do
something, his D is on what the adult
does. He doesn't have enough
independence and strength to say I'm
doing it for something else. If he tells
him he's doing it for something that's
what the Gumar says and the Ram goes
with this. The Ramom says even if you
have somebody standing on top of him
and standing on top of a it doesn't
make a difference. The rash seems to say
otherwise.
Now the very exciting thing about today
is we're going to learn.
Not only that, Isra asks a bomb
question.
Hopefully, somebody in this room is
going to ask the question. The rash says
what he says. He's not talking about
tits, but the bas
decides that the rash we can take the
rash and apply it to tits. That what the
rash says applies to tits. And we're
going to see if that if that is
possible. What does the rash say? Let's
have a look at source number three.
The rash is discussing the of
you know we we see when you do hagba you
can see a safe looks very nice the claf
the actual parchment comes straight off
a cow there's a long process in order to
make it into the nice parchment it looks
part of the process is you take off the
skin and you have to do something called
ibut
work it somehow.
The way you do that is you put it in
lime.
It's called sid. And you sit it in a
barrel of lime for a couple of weeks and
eventually the hair falls off. It
softens it. I think it also makes it
strong as well. I think it softens it.
That's the main thing. And the hair
falls off and then they can get on with
the next process. It's a whole process.
The first process is called ibud.
Ibud has to be done
has to be done kaducious safety for the
mitzvah to write a safe. So Rabun Borak
discusses can a dobbud.
Let's have a look in source number
three. This is right at the end of the
first line.
writes
is doing the he is doing the
soaking in in this lime
and the is watching on top of him and he
is helping him
that would work
does it on the
more than a we're not going to go into
Right. Says the rush
that by when you put the sid onto the
it's called hide. It's called a hide. Am
I right? Yeah. The skin that they've
taken off. What do you say?
Yeah. You're turning it into a cloth
through the putting the sid on it. That
you can do. What are you telling me?
What?
You have to stretch it out. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know what stage to do it
all. Don't know if the sid is before and
the stretching out. Forgive me, we're
not we're not doing a say fat now. I
don't know the the order exactly, but I
know that the first part is you're
putting it in
says the the rash he quotes. If you have
a guy doing it, you got your John, you
got your Ahmed and there's a stroll
who's standing on top of him and he's
helping him a little bit. He's put in
here. You have to help him a little bit.
Then you're good to go.
Now we just saw Gomorra and Gitten. What
does Gumar and Giten say?
Can you get a to write a get? What
does the Gumar say?
Can you get a No. Gar says no.
What's what's the rush saying over here
forbid? You can do it in order to work
the leather. A guy could do it. But not
you know who asked the question the rash
the rash asked the question the rash in
the small writing now it's in the first
line
and even though the get when you're
writing a get says
of it does it for his own interest he
doesn't do it for what the ye tells him
but perin in the bin we just saw this
rambas
like that
does the it's possible. It's possible
even though he told him to do the
forfilling,
he told him to fulfill
because the guy does it for himself. So
how could tell you that by it's okay?
The says that a ye a guy does it for his
own interest. He doesn't do it for the
for the for the he does it for his own
interest. He doesn't do it for the Jews
interests. John's doing it. He doesn't
care what Yankula told him. Do it. Do
it. I tell you, you need to do
he'll do it for his own thing. But
Rabbar says for Ibud in order to make
the hide soft then it's okay. It's
against the gar million-dollar question.
says the rash a difference. Let's have a
look at the difference very carefully.
a little bit further along on the end of
the line
the people of we take on
says the rush you can do liked
you don't have Jewish laborers in all
places as I said you can have a little
and the only place the only professional
place to make string is or sorry here
we're not talking about making string
We're talking about to work a height. So
you have let's take a little in the
olden days. I know what's what's what's
a goodle good name of a place in
Lithuania and Ukraine and Germany. I
don't know G. Let's imagine G. It was
full of Jews then. Oh, you got to go
back many years
and there's only one place that works
leather in the entire place to set up
your own. You want to make a safety to
set up your they didn't have flights
that you can just fly in some some
leather from America. There was no such
thing says the rash. They don't always
have Jewish laborers. You couldn't
always open a factory.
So says the rash was
but we still haven't answered the
question. says the rush
you know the das the logic lends itself
to why
[Applause]
the where the gar says that a go does it
for his own interest
there's a long letter which you have to
write for a get there's many many words
so but every single word have has to be
lashimma
has to be lashim this garish for this
divorce every single word. Now that can
take a long time. A sofa he has to dip
it into his ink and write it on the
parchment very carefully. Could take him
a half an hour maybe longer. I don't
know how long it takes to write again.
So for that we understand that he does
it for his own interests
says the when it comes to
all he needs is the beginning of the
when you put the le the leather
inside the line
that he should say then
I'm doing it for for
and then
then the go. He puts it in and he does
it stroll
when he tells him to do it. Says the
rash the difference a very simple
difference. He says I think like why is
like
because by getting it takes you half an
hour to write a get. So you have this
yankler who's standing on the side. You
say hello. She says yeah sure no
problem. He writes it. He's got half an
hour for half an hour. He daydreams. He
decides it. He's writing it for for a
movie. He's decides it. He's writing it
to to his own wife who he's going to
divorce. I don't know what he's deciding
in the middle, right? He can he can
decide anything in half an hour. But
when it comes to how long does it take
to put it inside a barrel? Two seconds.
So he tells the plot in then he's
decided to do something else. Says the
rash don't worry we can pass like
clear is the difference. Clear
by get it's a long time. If it's a long
time
then the guy can do it for his own
reasons. If it's a quick one just to put
it inside Sid and put it inside some
lime that we can rely on a go to do.
That's what the rush says. Now
this is what the rash says. The rash
doesn't mention sitsus once doesn't talk
about
the when he writes the he says
the rash holds that when you're doing
when you're making spinning
twining a wool fabric and making it into
a making into a string
the rash says it's kasha where's the
rash it's this rash
tell me if you had this rash and
somebody will ask You can you make tits
from this rush? What would you say? You
have to think yourself now. Would you
think that this rush is a good a good
comparison
to say that by in order to to do a go
can do it?
No. The rash says by getting where takes
a long time.
by getting where it takes a long time
then you don't say a go will do it for
what the ye says but if just what
you're going to drop it in
if just dropping it in just to put it
inside a barrel of sid that we do say
he's doing how long does it take to do
how long does it take or a person says
he doesn't know
20 or so
how long
about 20 minutes
20 minutes any other suggestions
a little while
a little
That's what I would think. Ces, what's
going on over here? How can the BV have
the audacity to to say that the rash can
be used also for tites takes a long
time? How can you do that? They're two
different things. This is the question
of a dog also asked this question.
How can you say that the rash can be
used for tits if you're just dropping it
inside lime that takes a second but it
seems to me to take wool and to
intertwine it in order to come out with
a thread takes a while says he doesn't
have an answer doesn't have an answer
this is the milliondoll question
the brings it down
we have the wrote a beautiful safer
called the mishna Bur and at the side of
the mish he wrote a safer called the bia
and the he discusses all the big
questions in life one of the big
questions in life is this how can the b
use this rash
and the b seems to say something it's
based on a vagon that says that
if you look at the exact wording
of the rash this is where the question
comes from given to bere Reganis since
it's done in a rea.
What does rega mean? Like a moment. A
moment. Rega sounds like a like a
moment.
Even if you want to say the guy's really
good at it and he's doing it really
quickly, it's not a moment.
What?
Many moments.
Many moments. So says the after
discussing the way the vulner sees the
rash he says that when it says berea the
rush doesn't mean literally berea this
this time which we give a to decide
that he's doing it for a different
reason you can stretch it a little the
the the rush doesn't mean literally a
moment that's not what he means he means
a short amount of time that's what he
means that's what wants to explain the
way the bas seen it doesn't mean a split
second like it you know like you put it
you drop it inside the barrel it's a
split second that's not what it means it
means a small amount of time but says
the Mishna Bura if it's taking a long
time we're going to see in this factory
yeah when the the way they make if
they're making a long string it could
take a while he says if it's taking them
a long time it doesn't work a cannot
do it so what do you see inside this the
he says According to the rash, it's
kasha. The mishna bur says that it's
only when it takes a short amount of
time. It doesn't mean a moment. When the
rush says, it doesn't mean a moment. It
means, you know, a short amount of time.
Maybe maybe a minute, 2 minutes, a
couple of minutes. I don't know exactly.
It just doesn't mean a long time. If you
look inside the Mishna Bura when he
explains the this is in source number
six the final source
is watching what our is doing
which I just quoted
where we wrote
it's only if the spinning doesn't take a
long time it doesn't drag on so long
harour If the takes a long time, it
appears that
it will not help the fact that a ye was
standing there and telling the the go to
do it. So
bottom line, what is the bottom line?
Bottom line is if you want John, if you
want Ahmed to work in your factory, the
only way it's going to work is if you're
standing over him and it's taking him a
very short amount of time. He can make
this the string in a very short amount
of time. If it's taking longer than a,
you know, a minute, a couple of minutes,
get out. It doesn't work because we see
what do you see?
I'll get more words out. Yeah. You can't
if you can't do it within that square
time. Yeah, you have
doesn't have uh
doesn't have the time to play around.
He's not
Yeah,
that's not the way that works.
That's right.
There there is a there is a deeper way
of explaining why is it a longer time?
That's what you're touching on,
Lawrence, right? Why is it a longer time
he messes around in a shorter time, a
couple of minutes as he's still going?
There's there's there's taurus, there's
deeper about this, but we're not we're
what?
does come
right that's right it's similar similar
type of but at the moment let's keep it
simple if it takes a long time ago you
cannot do it if it takes a short amount
of time according to the rash kosha the
mish says the ram says even then it's
possible she says try and try and get
Jewish laborers if your mam is stuck you
can get goa laborers and make sure it's
done in a very short amount of time that
is titus. I hope we're clear on that. If
we Mr. When we go to the tits factory,
you will see they are all Jewish. Very
much Jewish
Jewish.
What about matzah? Can a do matzah?
Can a do matzah?
Can you pour the water? Can you put it
in the oven?
I think I might if I'm not mistaken.
It has to be correct.
It might be matzah's
problem. and they won't be able to
because of um
what's this?
Oh, he's saying as well you have to make
sure it's done properly. You don't know
if a guy is doing it properly. I think
also there might be something else in
making matzah that it has to be I don't
know. I don't know.
Specified time.
Yeah. Yeah. Right. the the the
I don't know that's a good question.
It's a good question. Is is matzah the
same as here? I don't know. I'm going to
have to look into it. M we'll get back
to you about that.
Let's wrap up. Let's wrap up the
discussion which we just which we
started off with.
Can does Midas come into business? Do we
say business is business or do we say
poor lady she is so um she literally
looked unstable and he said okay just
take the apartment I asked this to my
as I said I brought in the shila I said
in business in general you know I was a
young man and hadn't done any business I
said do you do you maybe just in
business in general you say business is
business you have a worker who's not
coming on time you say Get out of it. I
told you come on time. Get out of it.
What do you say? I'm a bit poor guy.
Maybe maybe he's not feeling well. Maybe
he's going through something. When where
where does
basically how he thinks about you?
What do you mean?
How he thinks about you. The guy you you
employ.
What do you mean?
Just you feel sorry for him. He's
feeling sorry for you.
All right. Maybe he should do that to
you.
Right. This is this is part of the
question. How do we approach how do we
approach business? So the Rav said to me
like this. This rabbi um spends a lot of
time fundraising as well. He has a
couple of institutions. And he said, "I
know many many rich men." And he said,
"The rich men who approach business with
the business's business type of
approach, they're not the type of people
you want to spending your leisurely time
with. that generally
it's toughened them up.
Tesco has a line, every every little
helps. Every penny counts.
Every little helps.
Every little hearts. There's a different
one which came out for a while. Um yeah,
count your pennies, the pounds will add
up themselves. You know, these types of
things. If you go with a very rigid
approach to business, it ends up
spilling over to your regular life. when
people slight you slightly only a little
bit you used to business is business so
it ends up going spreading over to your
entire life so this Rav said to me he
said area relax a bit he said are you
really going to rent out the apartments
in the next 3 weeks probably not look
she looks unstable it's one thing if
she's like a normal person and she's
just saying please you know business is
business but there was a reason to have
Rahman He said, "You want to lose out.
You want to lose out. Go for it.
This is a march and this is a place.
How do we how do you say this in
English? This is something not to forget
in the first
entire right the beginning of starts off
you should get up like a lion in order
to serve Hashem." The Rama there
discusses how you should serve Hashem.
He says you should remember only
Hashem's in front of you. And don't
don't get bothered by other people.
Sometimes, you know, in order to do
something that's right, in order to do a
mitzvah, you look a bit like a fool.
Sometimes it's like that. I don't know.
Happens in various different times.
Let's say someone wants to do a long
estra. He's really he's had a hard day.
I mean, it's it's awkward. Let's say he
wants to cry to Hashem. He wants to cry.
He has something on his heart. How many
people cry in? Very few. And when you
do, people look at him like shut. Yeah.
It's it's like uncomfortable.
The Ram says over here, he says, "If you
want to do the right thing, if you're
doing a mitz, you're doing the right
thing." His words like this,
don't be embarrassed of people
who are making fun of you in your don't
take any notice. Right? It's a it's a
tough one. everyone according to their
level. Everyone's got their mitzvah
which is a bit a bit awkward to do in
some situations. The Mishna Bura here
quotes the BF which says a rule which is
very similar to what we said now and I
will quote
he's he's going on not to be
embarrassed. He says like this I'll call
upon him however
don't get into a fight with him. Yeah.
So let's say I know he's in a place
where it's awkward to wear a kapple.
It's awkward to wear yamaka to walk
around with a yamaka. I know there's
some places in the world where they find
it embarrassing only walk around with a
cap. Now this guy, he he lost his cap.
So he's wearing a yamaka and the yamoka
in his pocket and he thinks it's the
right thing and they think it's not the
right thing. He says don't be
embarrassed and says to don't get into a
fight with him.
Why
the mid the trait of Azus brazen us to
to to
have you know to come out very strongly
in your face. That's a good one. Asus is
in your face. That's good.
It's very very bad.
Don't use it at all.
Even why
you will acquire a in your heart as to
be brazen to be in your face.
Even when it's not a hashem says the
Mishna Bur when it comes to hashem do
not use
people say so why are you wearing a
capital so you stand up you say what do
you mean you start shouting them don't
do that why cuz in order to do that you
have to use a mid which is brazen it's
sharp it's like that and that type of
mid it's it's not good cuz very nice
it's a good thing you're meant to be
like that but if you use item you'll end
up using it in your daily
The same is for business. If you're
tough in business, of course, to a
certain extent you do have to be tough
in business, but
with a bit of with a bit of
you have to you have to you have to put
it in there. Got the B over here says of
course if it's somebody's you have to
know when sometimes there's people like
that scholar before the war there were
many people were trying to get
communities to lose to loosen their
their voice of hashem he says of course
and sometimes you have to be strong in
the general when you're doing a mitzvah
by yourself don't get carried away so we
should all be to do business with
remembering our end goal to make money
in the right way and uh yeah
