this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everyone from alex we're uh we've completed the safe harbors time of the rush and today we're going to begin our review of the safe air we'll do a we'll do a chunk at a time uh we want to thank the uh saka family who are sponsoring this mass party okay so we're gonna go through the teachings our kasana rush uh quickly today we'll try to do most of day one the rush says an aleph to distance yourself from arrogance with the epitome of distance that's number one number two the men likewise one should distance himself from flattery number three the rush said from shakira and khazov the difference was shaker is overt obvious falsehood and khasov is something that one only recognizes it's falsehood in the end number five the rush said to distance oneself from tail bearing number six the rush said to distance oneself from anger number seven and eight the ross said to this to be careful from the trap of nadarim somebody can make a commitment somebody could pledge to do something someone could do something three times and not come not follow through you have to be careful from the trap of nadarim and from number eight hurting people monetarily financially with words jealousy or hatred number nine the rush said do not nickname your friend or use the nickname that someone else gave your friend unless it's a uh it's used and your friend uses that name and he's honored by it number 10 the rush said not to speak lush and hara or accept it number 11 the rush said do not sit among those who sit around the corners shooting the breeze or in groups assemblages of ameja not a good place to hang out number 12 the rush said do not gaze at a woman that is prohibited to you number 13 do not talk over the kaisha bracha once you hold because to make a bracha don't talk once you they gave it to you once they gave you the curse don't speak out until after you drink it number 14 not to talk from the beginning about until you complete the tifila the silence mana esri or while the shots is repeating the uh unless the devaitara bidvar mitzvah or la say shalom number 15 not to talk during halal or while the bor reads from the torah number 16 interesting even though we are lenient and we allow one to eat the bread of a gentile baker the rush says not to eat the bread of a private citizen who is a gentile or of a baker unless you're not going to get the bread of a jew number 17 the rush said not to partake of a sudas rashus a discretionary meal which is a question because the gemara says that only a sudah only a tamil needs to refrain from eating at a sudden rishos but again we quote remember many times that rabbi levenshtein wrote that their rush rode or for himself and these are his personal practices number 18 one should not engage in idol conversation one should be careful to learn at night until he falls asleep from torah but not from the tale in other words fall asleep learning or listening to a shirt not listening to a baseball game number 19 don't get involved in suffice kasheka where you're entering shabbos where it might be shikiya and you should warn your household over on shabbos and you should dive in early on friday in order to bring the cabo chavez miba number 20 when the three fellows of the day come drop everything you're doing and the chief kavanagh the chief practices you should guard your eyes not to look at something that doesn't belong to you so not just don't gaze at a woman who's prohibited to you but don't even gaze at something you don't know somebody's driving down the street in a really uh you know um amazing car you don't need to look at it even levenstein uh also pointed out you see the great fear that the rush had that he was afraid even seeing something that didn't belong to him would somehow disturb his kavanagh in davening well um let's see if we could go a little further the rush says don't speak number 21 between the telse adayam and hamidzi and you should greet everyone you should always be maktim adam so that's interesting that the rush is juxtaposing don't speak to tina tells you i guess the the the connection would be on the one hand at certain times you have to be extra careful to be quiet but that should not affect your friendliness and your being outgoing to greet somebody at other occasions number 22 thank bless the creator that he satisfied your thirsting soul what does that mean that the reprimand kanievsky says that means that uh you should always be careful in uh berhas hamasain and if anyone curses you or shames you don't respond but be among those who bear insult number 23 do not be quick to quarrel distance yourself from oaths because uh because of the sin of making um distance yourself from oaths and adarim because once it could affect the viability of one's family and children number 24 distance yourself from laughter from lightheadedness from anger again the question would be the rush already said in australia and noise you should distance yourself from anger so here he's saying it it confuses your mind and your thoughts um [Music] and that could be something that interfere fears with one's service of hashem the rush says you should always serve hashem out of love and not um and not forsake any of these good practices that we've had until now um number 25 the rush said to love hashem with all your heart with all your soul with all your possessions and you should think when you say the passage that you would give up your body and your money and this way your mekaim the words of david hamelach for the sake of hashem we're willing to give up our life every day and in the final practice that the rush brings he says to trust in hashem with all your heart and to believe in hashgraph and by doing so you will fulfill in your heart the complete yehud believing that the eyes of hashem gaze over everything that's in this world and hashem's eyes are on all of man's ways and he investigates one's hearts and kidneys and the rush ends off with his famous words that someone who does not believe in that hashem took us out of egypt he doesn't believe in hashem's existence and it's not a complete yikh of hashem this is the segula of kalisa this is the special quality of kali israel over all the nations namely that we believe in pratis and this is the side of kalatarakula so this is a review of day one the akha samurai rush day one from aleph to khaf and to get more insight into any of these specific you could go back and listen to some of the shirim and um we'll continue we'll try to review uh each day one of the days the seat is have a great day you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
