NOACH - RIGHTEOUS IN HIS GENERATION, Parshas Noach By Rabbi Yossi Paltiel, 5766

okay how do I say the topic for this week is the first passing in the past if you don't mind turning the page yeah the first post in our pasture reads a little tell this Nayak these are The Offspring of uh he was a man who was righteous he was sincere and whole and serious walked uh with God this passage is full of illusion the plastic is full of darshani so many many so many so many questions that are asked by ultimate version to name a few the plastic begins Ayla tell this now these are The Offspring of Nayak the patch isn't really about The Offspring of their the passion himself right eighty percent of the patch is not neither children but next life foreign therefore when Rashi comes to pasha's tale they said they don't tell this and the child didn't say ah so we're going to talk about all the good deeds of Yitzhak and the past talks about his children so now she says no no no over here attacker means children in the beginning it actually has to comment again these are the hospital but this time we mean biological offspring since didn't mean children it meant myself has to correct what he corrected another observation is why it says twice there's a lot of turmer casidas another observation is these three accolades ishtzadiq tomimayo and that's how the Kim is halik three ideas he was a man who was righteous he was Tommy Tommy means whole sincere serious and he walked with God what's this last word he walked the massage of so many different rashes there's one thing about Christ is exactly the opposite thank you so there are all these observations we're going to focus on one word it says he was whole and sincere and serious in his Generations most people live one generation a generation is a lifetime practice what is the significance of in his Generations so we of course begin with arashi but I published the gamada is the source of Rashi so we might as well read it from the original and then we're going to read it again in Rashi and waste some time it says hey let's tell the snare these are The Offspring of nerves a man who was righteous he was sincere and whole and serious but there is of his Generations why does it say by the race of there's two questions here first of all to say in his generation and then why does it say plural Generations he was only righteous in his Generations foreign were so corrupt and so perverse relatively speaking he was righteous there was so much corruption and so much evil and so much perversion now with righteous culture came but there's okay certainly in other Generations he would have been considered righteous if a person could be righteous in a world that's evil and corrupt so in a world that's more righteous it can certainly be righteous so the word behind his Generations is translated in two Extreme Ways a only in his Generations but be even in his generation and the Yamada confusion says what would be an analogy in analog a metaphor that would work good evening hello welcome says that he was only righteous in his generation I don't know the generations a barrel of wine that sits means a seller filled with spoiled wine with Clements means with vinegar with wine that's gone bad if you walk into that basement and you smell the contrast between the particular Barrel that's wine and the remaining barrels that are vinegar you'll think wow this is wine and chalaban came in they're going to take the barrel of wine out of the cellar it's just a barrel of wine it's not so special when you're amongst stink ordinary smell is pleasant when you're amongst pleasantness ordinary smell is ordinary foreign and people used it to freshen their breath people would keep it in their mouth to keep their breath fresh sitting in an excrement if even an excrement a pleasant odor comes from this spice the coach came in Malcolm Harbison how much more so would it be pleasant if you placed it to knock on my basement in a place with their other son this is [ __ ] butter two translations of the word in his generation says only in his generation says even New Generation each one has a mushroom now let's go back to the decision let's go back to The Shining we'll read Rashi first although that I really would prefer to read a different commentator first but it actually always has to go first it actually doesn't need an ancient sorry says Rashi yes I made arrows I made arrows there's two hours one on top of another yes those rabbis who interpreted and it's interesting that it actually puts in a sluggish before and he married his sister has a negative connotation has a positive one thus she reverses the order he puts his first second right there were those who interpreted in a praiseworthy way how much more so had he been a generation of righteous people have been a greater righteous man but yesterday there are others namely who interpret it in a negative way relative to his time in his generation he was righteousness thank you so it actually brings think about it makes a few modifications and one of the significant things that it actually adds that doesn't say in the gamada the gamada says only in his generation you would be Russian now she adds but comparative he said nobody and they said not only compared but compared to the generation of Agra now and before we continue I want to remind you again we have two questions really it's one question it's one word but there's two parts a what does it mean in his generation you know he's a topic his generation some say even his generation some say only the generation and it doesn't say in his generation because in his Generations why does it say plural multiple Generations okay both of those questions we're going to attempt to address tonight and we're going to see you know we've had more complicated classes but this is plenty dynamic evanese same page near the bottom he was righteous in his generation but Day Day in his generation but ASA marble during the time of the floods and the generations that follow the flood the indicator the sign the way to remember this is as follows avraham was Ben was at the age of a way of remembering that was old enough to have seen yeah so Vanessa explains why did it say he was righteous his Generations because he lived more than one generation but which two generations the generation of the flood and the generation After the flood till 58 years life now what do you think that means a Vanessa likes evanese is inclined to say that there was a Sadiq only in his time and not in the time of Abraham or he would have been righteous even at the time of Iran right he says he was a Sadiq in his Generations till 58 years never made his life savings is clearly opposing us clearly because Rashi even said that he wouldn't be even in uh in avraham's times he'd be like nothing Club and I mean as this emphasizes means his generation that means the generation of the flood and consequent Generations till the time of Ramadan are going to say something different similar but different you'll see in a moment that I'm banned this means his generation the narration from the generation before so that we can negotiate but by the evanescent stating but that theyself means plural generation of the marble and the subsequent Generations he's clearly disagreeing with this two-sided he holds like this okay um now why would the Theta indicate two generations yeah okay he officially lived many generations I suppose because the bulk of the pasture deals with the marble the process the story the story The Flood that pretty much 80 of the posture seventy percent you should know this with today's stuff he survived the flood and he lived beyond the flood also and he was a tactic Thanos that would be perhaps a way of explaining the Duke the Tariff says you're going to read the story of the flood and I'm gonna tell you the story at length and he was the righteous man he's the hero of the flood he was a hero later on even though I'm not going to talk about him I don't know I'm just suggesting that perhaps this is why the data feels compelled to make this observation okay so in arashi we have two opinions of an as it focuses not so much on the word not about generation but the plural generations and seems to agree within the best of times now we do ramban ramban is on the same page but on the left side um if you look for the bottom of the page you have clearly the last line yes she and disagrees with him yes there are those who interpret favorably coach again just flip over your package how much more so it's right near it [Music] there's an arrow you know yeah this one the dinero had a bit of the generation he would have been a topic others say it's this favorable abbreviate he takes out the words he brings to opinions foreign the purpose and intent of the statement is not to go into this question only righteous then righteous at different times as well but to State the following he was the only type nobody else whole and serious and sincere Zula say besides for him we find later on in the past Hashem tells him directly you alone nobody else in this generation is really not deserves to be saved now there was Mr Shabbat it was first of all they died prior to the flood secondly it seems evident that New York Stock is special who are those people to my father and grandfather oh what about the sons who went on the floods I mean they can't be considered uh righteous there's a lot of negotiation in demavation a lot of one of them says that Hashem gave only a few children because if he had many I will see it because he had many children some of them would have fried out and he would suffer a few kids you could look after us it's it's a it's a either an ababanel or a uh al-shek he gave him a few kids because a few kids he could watch they'll beat him but they were only a hundred and those blashy says that the age of maturity then was 100 years old they're part of amits us they couldn't mess up because they had no liability we lived 900 years 100 is like about race for 17. before drinking age legal aid for drinking so the ramban says the translation of it is not to correlate to juxtapose a generation against a generation right that as she says but that asaph means compared to another time and the gamada says so has nothing to do with comparison it's not about him his generation of that it's simply saying there was nobody else around period in his generation he was alone Sadiq simple and you could make the case that it's more shot than tinashi and you could argue that that actually makes more simple sense what I have to go into start questioning his piety simple nobody else is righteous but he that's it but then he observes that I solved he uses the term many generations passed from the time that they became corrupt the inside building there was no righteous man of land other than him don't question the righteousness of his grandfather Ellie Wallen is not here so I'll say it for him Methuselah generations and Methuselah died one week before the model so he did he may have been another Sadiq but he wasn't meant to be spread now I want to convince you of something ramban says many generations but Evanescence looks forward the rabban looks backwards you see the Duke and then it says in his generation and later generation still love rabovino so clearly evanese is disagreeing with Russia and saying no no no no no his tit kiss wasn't equivalent relatives he was a real-time Rahman also says the race of means many generations but many generations going back why because ramban says that you view the generations not generations of his life generations of corruption there were many generations of corruption and he stood there sorrow and withstood the Temptation and the test and remained righteous and nobody else was worthy to be saved so evanes there for sure disagrees with Rashi that I'm banned avoids the whole issue that's why he says is not corollary it's not there to compare Nair to somebody else he lived a long time he lives in many generations and in all the generations he lived he was the only one worthy to be saved Mr shalach died before so he's out of the question nobody else deserved to be safe no Rashi says he has is a man of weak faith fine but we don't have to bind no it's a separate opinion we don't have to bind it on band with rashi's position when you read commentators you have to let each one say his piece I understand that but I'm saying on your point that about whether he was righteous or not in this generation in the previous generation it's not my generation it's the point of our discourse right but is it also including the opinion about whether or not Noah was a man of weak faith some of them are fashion we're going to have some natas I never did this before Taz it's a com he's a famous commentator but he has a commentary on Hamish so he he's he's really a Peter chandrashi so I brought him in you'll see nice um he he connects he connects the position that says here that Rashi that was only righteous in his time to that otherashi in other words he says that according to the opinion would have been righteous and when the generations you you wouldn't say that interpretation so you whether he's righteous in this generation whether it's whether he has a weak Faith this is the same I'm not equated you're equating and I'm reluctantly letting you uh I'm not trying to be quick uh-oh Samantha's I don't know all right so it is the same issue you need to look in each commentator separately understood it I would assume that there would be consistency meaning those who say he was strong would not give that interpretation it is conceivable that you would find this contradiction and if we would have to resolve it but I'm not going to worry about it you know the whole beautiful one passage at a time what's the music I'll go get it you hear what I'm saying I'm I'm I'm I'm basically to be quite candid I'm avoiding your question all right I'm giving you the good old I don't know thanks for the answer God thanks for letting me know okay so now boys I think about it think about it we have a gamada which is Rashi that says in his Generations either it means only in his generation or even his generation evanese says many generations that he was the even by avrah mavino he was still righteous the ramban says multiple Generations he was the only one worthy of being saved in other words he disagrees with arashi and the gamaris interest in comparing of a different sardic and says multiple Generations means look back so we really don't know what the namban holds and the rabbana is going to say that the Tata is not trying to indicate whether Neuer would have been righteous complete to a different generation you with me now turn your package back over and read a support new and this is just it just tells you how many possibilities you are the same page now if you turn pages and you're lost the same page we're looking at you see you have Rashi right opposite it actually just two arrows pointing to the right right to the left of Rashi is you found it chief your first name Chief will be fine your first name Oran Chief you found it you see it relative to his generation so the word relative sounds like he's Danish but listen to the next words what were the generations in other words why does it say there is Generations that's for the sake of Ellie wallens 8 one more time Methuselah his father this Allah in his own generation they had Diaries as well as the generations that his co-generationists had in those 600 years okay I I I misspoke the support is saying the same thing as that I'm bad I'm sorry the disappointed was not I I I I decided that he was saying both and about as I'm wrong he was saying the same thing as the ramban that that the generations before the marble he was righteous the difference between the saporno and the ramban would be however that amban says there is no comparing going on by discipline writing the word relative Generations he's suggested that in a different time maybe he wasn't righteous Okay so we've got a Rashi an Evidence I would say that the sapono agrees with that postulation it actually brings two possibilities that in a different generation he would not have been righteous this is and the evanese would agree with the postulation of Rashid that even in the times of love he would have also been righteous and then I'm about to avoids the issue in other words you have every possibility now turn the page the next point is this is a ladak I'm sorry this is a uh at our back a wrong line that I'll bag I like come because it's controversial and always different but then they solve in his Generations he says this is existed over many generations because he lived so long and in all of them we find that he walked in righteousness that's the gun said that's the whole rubber now this is also vague right it says already worked in many generations now the word means already the connotation of the word kavar is retroactive backwards that he this means many generations that already passed which is like that I'm banned not like the Ebenezer forward right so perhaps there are dark I'm sorry that our bag agrees with that on Banda we're not looking forward looking back but maybe he's generalizing I don't know turn the package off now we get to the dividend is a test and um I must say that I cannot Acclaim expertise at this book this is about the first time in my life I've opened it up since I purchased it but I wanted to find something different that was looking in different version and we have this task he brings all the questions that you do he mentions the point that you made that later there are references to him being deficient in faith and this whole question how righteous was Nayak was he super righteous because he was even righteous at an evil time or was he just ordinary and he was righteous relative to his generation and he brings a whole series of proofs contradictory form in nadashi or at least inconsistent formation a bunch of questions this sue you see where I made the arrow and the last of his many questions is why does it says it should have said in his generation data we all agree now you have existed for one generation he lives one life he lived five lives they needed lafarish answers the Tas a whole bunch of questions but one of the questions that has addressing isov and his generation there are two ideas here says that they are not contradictory when you talk about righteous man there's two perspectives the righteous man per se and the righteous man in the context of History the title is discussing in both of those contexts Neuer has a righteous man period where you can start measuring him against Allah and nayak's righteousness in the Continental generation where you cannot measure him compared to other tadikim you have to compare him to his own generation number one how righteousness and when you talk about righteousness natural there are many degrees many levels more righteous less righteous higher righteousness lesser righteousness greater piety lesser piety and so forth hashani the second issue is the preciousness of that Sadiq dahini which means in other words grants him importance and values him so much that he communicates to says Taza two separate things the righteousness of assadic is one issue his favoritism Eyes Of God are another why his righteousness is his level his favorite designs of God is not only about him it's about everybody around him there's a relativity to it if you live in a more generation with more tadiq him you're less Central to today do we know this I mean do we really know that that's the way Hashem evaluates things by comparison to the Taz is entitled to an opinion he knows I don't necessarily think everybody agrees with him huh says it's just a ctions and I was the English to person there how could he say that you know if there's more you know he's less and less important to me by relativism his task copy that Tanya was missing the first page oh that's cute Taz is entitled to an opinion what you're saying is a medicine number one that doesn't necessarily mean that they're all the same they're either they're individual they didn't have personalities everyone's a different person yeah I only asked because I thought maybe it was a statement of fact I didn't know that it was an opinion that's the reason I asked well in his opinion it's a fact is designed to Encompass multiple views okay now I know the second point is God favors him and speaks to him in as much as the second idea is concerned the communication between God and man like why are you talking about righteousness you can measure the righteous of the righteous man relative to righteous people of all generations when you're talking about that they wish the singling him out as his Communicator as his prophet ever since deal with what he has oh what he planted it's not about greater or less are you the sadik I'm talking to you don't tell me I might say someone else is a bigger child they can have problems generation it's a material since Hashem singles them out to be his Prophet amen there's no other Prophet with that generation that you can compare him to and say she said he's less than this Prophet when the abishek singles out a communicator a representative a prophet he's God's man that's it finished you know it doesn't Hamish no it doesn't hummus it's interesting thing it says to take your Yeshua and to appoint them the leader of the Next Generation gathers the Jewish people and he appoints him a leader and he says to the Jewish people you must listen to him and the elders so they wish to resonates measure of in his words and says tell the Jews they should listen to yahushua says listen to Yeshua and the elders the ability says there's a one spokesperson for one generation and it's Yeshua there's no competition there's nothing to talk about so to speak confirms mentioned about his words with a modification just to Yeshua what is that I'm sorry I don't mean to take us to feel but what does that tell us Motion News all right well I can be honest with you huh good question I have to think about it I don't know the answer no no you've got to say good good good this resolves all the problems the generation's prior to his I'm skipping 67 words the conclusion and the perfect of all those Generations didn't like anybody about him says this is a praise of means in his Generations he was Head and Shoulders above everybody else since in those Generations he was the righteous man to learn from because certainly you said it he would have been even greater than someone else to learn from such a righteous man that even his Generations when he was the Lone Sadiq he was righteous Villages the second Rashi who says that nayaks righteousness was only in his generation and in the generation of Abram he would have been nothing also agrees that means that was special in his generation Ella but the Methodist he interprets the posse also favorably but not favorably foreign in Russia and says we're praising Nayak was righteousness generation says Rashi some say it's positive some say it's negative it says Taz some say it's positive for one reason others say it's positive for another reason some say it's positive because we're talking about the man he was Italian and when you're talking about him as an individual you're comparing him to history you compare him another one's saying he was God's Prophet it's also a compliment it's just a different one and as she says in the time of ramovani wouldn't have been God's Prophet but it doesn't matter right now he's the prophet like you have a Nigeria the greatest of our prophets was small Samuel the most deficient of our leaders was a man named who who had an ego which almost cost him the life of his daughter says the obligation to father has equal to Samuel in his time in the generation he was equal he was the same thing as small he was God spokesperson so the tasks enriches Rashi by saying they're both complements they're just different complements one is the complement of his person and the other company of his Prophet prophetic role Turn the Page [Applause] we have this is okay let's do the outer first second turn over the packet if you don't just don't touch it yeah that's right there we go take this motion you see my arrow see my arrow he analyzes every word you know this is a dash and he tells us a speech it goes off of pages and pages and Pages you know they suck Cassius and cautious and caches and gosh you think you're gonna get dizzy from the questions and then just and when they're finished everything is answered the Obama knows like that the Australians like that there's a safe it that's called akeda okay this is essays it goes on and on and on asks a million gives a million and want to do it yourself what does it mean again the ashok's question is why doesn't it singular his generation want to say multiple generations and he offers a common senseful thought every human being sees two generations when he grows up in other words the people you emulate and the people who emulate you when you're young you're a follower when you're an adult you're a person but it is Young saw the world as a young impressionable person and he was righteous Nayak was an adult he had self-respect and dignity and his own identity and his own material his own property his own wealth but they saw he was still a mensch he was righteousness he when he was young but they asked him because the generation of the elders who preceded him when he was young and then he's succeeding of them so this al-shek is in concert with the ramban and probably the bag that says Generations means backwards as opposed to the evidence of means forward right what's the deal he lives he lived for many generations so why say two why not 20 so I'm again I'm assuming and it seems very logical because when you're young you're making decisions when you're growing your decisions have been made if you live a long time you live by the same principles but when you're young you're still impressionable you're in a position to form and mold and model yourself so the Tater says when he was in the process of maturing and once he was mature he was the same like you have in the modern and I think one of the guys brings it here that um when you're young you should see to it not to embarrass your older years but even when you're little sorry even when you're little you should um you should be righteous Ness well I mean that makes some sense because you say by comparison relatively there was nobody before him that was if you say everyone else was so corrupt he had no Role Models so he he was right it's that really defines his righteousness exactly right but the reason we distinguish between these two eras because here he was still impressionable and he was impressing others foreign so when you're ancient and you're old you're honored and Noah had the foresight not just to grow up and be a mansion but to be a mensch before he was grown and and that deserves distinction so it says but again he too was looking back and not forward his the periods of time in his own life and the ababanel articulates and explains he died a generation the root of the word diet is Dieter dwelling living in hasidis the word is used to connote Shooters shoot us but in the Obama says there is no word circumstances of living means circumstances of life the passage of a significant body of time in one circumstance to be considered one generation and we will change the circumstance will change I'm holding right here sorry oh yeah okay good the line begins with the word it will be a new generation College this is especially acute in the life of there is considering how long he lived in fact you have to assume a hundred years was his youth if he lived 900 years so his youth was 100 years he was righteousness subsequent time periods the cause of righteousness was constant and he goes on to talk about it and explain it so he translated the race of means in the various eras of his life now ZIP down till the next underlined so you see it okay should die before the model the shame K and the Kayla Shane was a tonic the aviation of alien Ava was Italian died they were more righteous than him how could we say that was at Sadiq in his times struggles with this Suffolk and translates that we're not comparing Nayak to other people were comparing him to his times because he Compares it only to the generations of Nayak prior to them not all the generations afterwards in other words saying is righteous and his generation says and about not all of them because after that was relatively speaking he wasn't righteous enough and Obama doesn't like this speaks without clarity which qualifies the truth of what I said that was a tadiq in every generation you know I skipped the most important part diet lived through many circumstances pre-marble marble post-mobble in all those circumstances forgive me I I that's what he's elucidating here right foreign I'm sorry and you're gonna say that each person's life is only one generation as opposed to many generations how does a Barbara explain to the word that doesn't mean a lifetime it means a period of living that's constant a person can have many dietites I mean many circumstances of living so the about if you're going to say that means for when a person is born till the person is dying if you only saw one generation does in other Generations before okay know the generations after he died so the ababana is saying the Theta says have to say that there doesn't mean a lifetime that means a circumstance through multiple circumstances and he was Italian canola hastes what's the ability Evan Ezra says means forward that it means backwards if an edge it says but there is forward to say that he was attacked even by abramovia ramban says it means backwards because he can't accept that he was attacking says essentially he's saying the the point of the race of is not like it Rashi says this favorably to the contrary to say not to withstanding the diversity of circumstances and conditions he lived with and in and through he was the same there so this is the I made a mistake he's the one who says not disappointed that he was righteous before during and after so for sure it's like you follow in a favorable way noyak's being righteous and his Generations means the world change he Remains the Same the world became terrible he was a righteous man the world became righteous he was righteous then too he was distinct even then is this saying that being being assignment has something with the surroundings that you're in or the opposite well it's since it's an analysis of one man it's not an analysis of it's an analysis of one person so there are different obviously the answers to that question is it depends on the topic but we're talking about this particular topic and there are as many opinions as it could possibly be which is typical Financial I printed three series and I have eight minutes to do three things the first secret is it's a very very long Sita and it's like it's a delicious but the part of the theater we're learning has nothing to do with this it's an ancillating component I once discussed this season with you two years ago when we first started this is one of my favorite series so you'll notice I printed page 13 14 20 and 21. I didn't print the whole series if you're interested and I printed also only a couple of pages and at the back I have a secret hey in Hebrew which is which we're not going to get to it will cover the next two it will be successful but the information is here as the result say yes take it home and continue but let's begin with the first series page 13 no no you went too far turn back one there we go page 13. um whatever has a question yeah was righteous in his Generations right for some reason Rashi is not concerned with the plural of generations but he wonders why it says generation altogether and he brings them number one there are those who say that they're righteous number two those in there who's not so righteous had he been at the generation of Abraham he would not have been valued at all right so they never ask somebody he asks the Evanescence anything he was 58 years old when they died I'm reading the second paragraph page 13. doesn't make any sense foreign means looking back right some say don't bother me if vanessa says look forward he was righteous even the times of ramadina Rashi owes even as an explanation everything makes a good point he was 58 years old when they passed away by the time around was 58 he had already broken the Sodom of numerate he'd been ex spent he was thrown it off furnace spent 10 years in jail was expelled from kharan had moved at Israel had become a prophet that done enormously great things foreign generation so he was Nevermind and the Tater calls himself so how could Rashi say that in his time he's a nobody and the secret goes off into a normal that the subject flipped flip over your package page 20 . everything we just read which is a beautiful secret that discusses a whole nother subject all together foreign nayaks impact on his generation compared to Abraham's impact on a generation was garnished can you say I'm sorry I didn't mean to do this to you could you say that hold on one sec had a long time is it had he seen the generation of Rome yes after almost 50 when they have died but the generation of ram hadn't fully formed yet because it's not about Avro it's about his generation and relative to avraham's impact this generation was nothing and I think it means impact on his generation or something I don't think it means personally personally so the rabbit is compared to his generation in other words did Nayak affect his people maybe a little I mean you wasted this another whole controversy but compared to deity and that ever goes into a discussion about what was special about him this she has a classic it's a masterpiece it's a must learn the sea has two halves that combine that come together to form a vision who abramovino was and to form a vision of what avidazade is and to form a vision of how to protect yourself against it the whole city revolves around the number and the secret literally articulates and argues the necessity of a dichotomy till this point the whole method of the secret is that avidazade is an intellectual disease it's not a behavioral issue it's a mind and a heart issue it's it's it's the mind you could argue of a desire you could intellectually discredited correspondingly a relationship with Hashem is an intellectual it's a spiritual to human endeavor it's not a gift from God it's not faith alone there's this person involved represented this it's a whole long story how the devil argues it the gist of it is that rambam says around was 40 when avram discovered God even though it's very difficult to find a source for this says the reason that I'm choosing the age 40 because the Theta links there's a connection between Authority and intelligence connection to God was an intellectual one of a disorder is an intellectual sickness the brain is messed up the Cure of a disorder is intellectual Clarity connection to Hashem is intellectualism the second half of this is going to say exactly the opposite don't trust your intellect because and he all based on an album this is the design of the whole Syrah that makes these two arguments it says this is what did on the one hand it was all intellectual on the other hand ultimately that intellect was rooted and anchored and took roots in faith so it should be permanent I I miss speaking a little bit but that's basically the message so the devil says we're not comparing we're preparing generation around generation in what terms in their impact didn't make people religious Abram taught people he made himself contained religious about almost 58 years old by this point he had done many great things he had been through many miracles he was a recognized prophet of God and maybe he moved people but the generation above it wrong wasn't the people that removing there were the scholars they were the students of Abram they learned's knowledge they became students of his not just followers let's read the generation of Iran means not the period when you was known following which actually started their next lifetime as we mentioned the people became his now they followed him they became his in concert with the approach his ideas to his opinion and his way he won debates he proved them wrong but he didn't make them agree with him it's one thing to win an argument it's another thing to win over your opponent doesn't mean he won the argument means he won their minds and this happened after Nair passed away and I couldn't touch that and for purposes of time restraint let's let's leave it at that you could read it yourself but what's the devil saying did not talk about him personally it's talking about him in relationship with this generation but to compare nayak's achievement achievement are you crazy to people too maybe they proved people that is wrong also but he didn't win their minds who won their mind and relatively speaking it's Club Scottish so you could agree with the evaneser that was there was righteous as a person even around's lifetime but we're not comparing we're comparing nayak's influence tavaram's influence even according to the evidence see how beautiful one word and Taylor could be and then you turn the page and you have another series every Shabbos and they never edited the secrets for the first few weeks and it didn't happen I don't have time to read it with you but I'll just tell you the thought and I'll tell you where to find it it's mostly in the last two pages it says on page 282 and 283. like this he says you could talk about the database of all you want you can argue about it was he righteous only in his time was he righteous even in his time the whole situation but after you finish all those arguments and you hear all those opinions it actually brings both Evanescence looks forward that our bond looks backwards the uh the um a Bible looks forward and backwards but there's a lesson in all of this what's the lesson alliness the less and all of this is that is a flood what do you do when there's a flood you go into the ark touches the handicap Hashem when there's a world around you is not sacred not holy you go into Tate and Philip your Ark is you described yesterday you're a big Sadiq you physically withstand The Temptations of the world go into the ark yesterday you're you're not a big titic you're a nobody you say who cares if I'm corrupted I'm a nobody anywhere in Russia anyway boil at him taste did the Tate is saying whatever kind of Nayak you are boil go into the ark not either and again we were out of time but this is what the devil says on page then the devil has a whole another secret with foreign in the generation of Maisha and the generation of David he would have been nothing and the devil goes into a whole Indian because everybody's like six or seven they're all say the same thing and analyzes each one becuits it one says had a bit of a generation of small little but nothing in generation that might she would have been nothing analyzes because he says have three Central themes avram is the Jewish people maishes the Theta and David is kingship kingship means to bring the Taylor to the whole world says the reason the Isaiah Compares Nayak to these three generations and that he was nothing because initiated the idea of a people of God initiated of God neither initiated bringing the title of God to the whole world but compared to them it was clue but we have homework
