Public Servants and Kriyat Shema By Rabbi Aschi Dick

salic used to say when he grew up he remembers that they used to have a rambam open the entire week some say You're supposed to close the saer but not in the Sal home in the house ofos Sal the father of that had a ram open all week so whenever you had guests coming they would discuss RAM and that was the entire household revolved around this difficult okay you remember the joke we said the last week right I'm not a racist but they they say a racist joke the are always mocked they're not Lon are much stronger they don't they never learned the fine tune the the Nuance the nuanced thinking of the Lithuanian system so they say that bris gets up to shim and they says what did you do he says I solved the most difficult Rams he says that's what you did okay that's a reason to let you into G but let's call the rambam and see if he agrees with all of your resolutions they call the rambam and he says gave this of this reconciliation for this R did you really intend that this was the he says that that's not was the intent of the that's not what I intended I had a different gear me that's why you couldn't figure it out right one after the other and ra doesn't agree with you or you him on the r he says oh he's a how does he know how to learn a b b that's how you answer that's how spyy what do a understand about it's changed already now the all the grandchildren of go to they go to all the when they had the uh so he was one of the supporters of the he says even though the are opposed to the he says but the support the and the ashaz are like like the like the peel of a garlic compared to the to the much greater than the ashkanazi ones okay anyway so this is a this is a a very difficult so somebody was busy learning Torah the time for kishma comes so you have to stop learning T in order to read kishma and if you're say somebody was involved in the CL I don't know right he was the CL men he always so again you don't interrupt to say you finish dealing with a CL for the and then you say if there's time right so therefore being to be in the cl to help the gives you a greater dispensation than if you were learning T because if you were learning tah you would have to interrupt to sayma but if you're being you don't have to interrupt to sayma okay and that's the if somebody's busy comes time forish don't interrupt do what you need to do okay serving in the Army you call it's even more than because serving the Army is okay so serving the Army is even more than let's say m is meeting with a congressman a senator or whatever you he's busy helping the CL so he doesn't have to stop to say krishma he can skip he can skip krishma he doesn't have to oh so that's that was last that was the year we said there's no that's was the uh the previous that's right he saved them I guess he had a break in the fighting so he was able to yeah but they had a break he had a break so number 22 says if Mitzvah you're from very straightforward number 23 in the reference sheet that in says the same thing why because it comes from the regular rule of okay number 24 okay this is the you also have to interrupt your T learning in order to if let's say that's the only thing you do you don't do anything else other than learn so you don't have to D in if you're such a mass and you only learn T you don't have to stop to DAV the says only DAV once a year re only daved once in 30 days because they were they didn't do anything else other than learn so they didn't have to DAV Weinberg the one skipped he didn't he was so involved in his learning that he's that he didn't D there's a few versions of the story one version of the story is that he forgot to D another version of the story says I'm so busy learning he couldn't pull himself away from the G to so the alar of found out theber skipped he called him over and was very embarrassed he didn't want to admit that he skipped okay so he got a telling off from the not to be dishonest he says I know you didn't right and he was told off for skipping I remember when I wrote when I got married I wrote a all about whatever have you so I brought over there that all the ask they don't understand benai didn't get married cuz he says I'm too devoted to my T learning I can't get married and have kids so so the asked what he didn't take a you didn't blow the what's this business there's a MIT you have to have a a son and a daughter how could benaz get out of that Mitzvah so I brought a few answers and I slugged up all the answers of gives an answer I slugged up the answer and I went through the different ANS and I said I don't have a yes so remember somebody stopped me in the street and an he said I saw your cont and he said the reason why couldn't get married when he said he couldn't get himself aroused he couldn't have relations with his wife he was physically incapable of having relations with his wife that's what he meant I'm so addicted to the Torah I can't get my mind off of the Torah when you have relations with a woman you have to get your mind off the Torah for a bit right you have to go out with your wife you have to go to the restaurant you have to have cake with her you know getting a person who's too much of a mass he can't have Rel I was always wondering know the rug Trevor the Ruger Trevor only had one daughter I have no idea why the Ruger Trevor only had one daughter but I always wondered know the Ruger Trev was a genius people the way he described that he was so immersed in learning they couldn't get him to think about anything else so maybe that's why he only had one child because he maybe he couldn't get himself he couldn't maybe he didn't have to connect with his wife I don't know that's very bizarre stuff I know there's one very wacky stuff I wouldn't I wouldn't get anywhere near that stuff so anyways so the rambam says that if you're learning you don't have to and that's somebody's all he does is learn he doesn't have to stop to if you're being it's like being in okay stoping they're stopping to eat I mean stopping to do other things very good so how can they very good so there's a run in per in the second per that the Run says that if you take care of your bodily needs to enable yourself to continue doing the Mitzvah it's also part and parcel of the Mitzvah he says for example the gumar there says that the G the grav diggers they're digging the graves in order to bury the deceased so he says they definitely have to stop and rest because you can't be digging all the time you need to stop and rest she says even when they're resting they still have a from Krish because they're also Mitzvah they're also doing a Mitzvah so if somebody learns tah and he stops to eat or he stops to refresh to to get some fresh air he still consider being even when he takes the break so there yeah Oh you mean if you're an owning and then somebody has an organization not taking when you're taking the once the is in the of the you are not the anymore so technically you're not an I know there's a it's it's a hard there's a ysf liberman the Mish y I saw chva he wrote and he says when you're on the plane flying your deceased parent for example to you want to bury a deceased relative one wants to bury a deceased relative in AR and the bodies in the belly of the plane he says that you don't have a owning then because there's nothing that you can do but really typically don't don't not no no people I don't know has anybody ever flown a deceased relative so you probably got the not to make even when you're on the plane not like Li till after the and the reason is because the still things you can do on the plane you're still thinking about it you know that when you arrive in is there's things you want to take care of you're not transfering body but you're not dealing with but the minute you give the body over toad you're done you're done that's thei saysi says that when you give the body to thead then it's all over that's true all all of stays right before the funeral you do m so we don't we don't don't we don't but I think with the with the with the uh the question about was your question question does a does a um does an owner make a so as I mentioned half the K Fromm say yes half the K Fromm say no so I think you should say it but without the of I think that that seems to be the most reasonable position because you're even though you're an you still want Hashem to protect you you want Hashem to give you the to get safely to your destination that you still that's one still needs even if he's an owning but the last section of you say that's like all other that's I think the exactly so this is the the r says that if you're you're being the difficulty is we saw the dealing yeah it's like being sorry so if you're being that's like learning Torah a person who's a CL mench who's dealing with the T to help the public he's like somebody who's learning Torah he's as good as an a he's even maybe even better than an a right he still also has to learn so he's like being in so the B number says that um that comes from the Y says that is like being helping the is like learning t Okay so he says the ramam seems to learn that the na is that you don't have to stop your in order to read kishma okay exactly he's a level higher he's a level higher now the difficulty is that even if it's says that you have to interrupts for kishma so why is the Rah saying that if you're being you're helping the public you're on the same footing as somebody who's learning T it's not true you're not on the same footing as somebody who's learning Torah you're a step above somebody who's learning Torah because if you were learning Torah you don't have to D in if it's but you still have to say if you're being even better than somebody who's you don't even have to interrupt for kishma so you're not helping you're not you're not saying wow if you're being you're amazing you're on the same level you're on the same footing as somebody who learns Torah it's not true you're a level above somebody who's learning Torah you don't even have to stop to say kishma so very good that you can add that question we say every morning that T is it's not if you're learning T you have to stop to say Kish if I'm being it brings very good very good there's your Shi like that very good we'll get to that so this is the difficulty of all the this is this is what makes it number 27 says I don't understand says is even more than number 27 number 28 has the same question right number 29 the has the same question right at never we never have a that's right the prime minister of Israel who's dealing all the time wouldn't have to DAV he wouldn't have to D he wouldn't have to even take cuz he's absolutely correct very [Music] good it's even more than so even if it wasn't even if you're somebody who's let's say a member of the mun of the municipality was helping people I don't know what to deal with their Arona or whatever else if you're being you don't have to you don't have to do anythings generals don't have to dove in they don't have to say I think if you're in the IDF action he to turn the middle of battle I can understand you don't put side right if you're a g you're going by by helicopter if you're an IDF General you probably never have to do you probably know even what you mentioned before the r says that when you rest if the resting is necessary in order to enable you to continue doing your work so even if he goes to rest to to you know to to recharge his batteries even then he doesn't have to D because that's part of the Mitzvah perhaps see I'm learning it's so that maybe that's why yeah yeah the says the says in his that the girl learned the Sciences he got secular textbooks and he studied the the textbooks that were available to him somebody said that his level of mathematics was he he was very Advanced they found notes of the BR proves crer theorem I once looked into it Kramer Kramer the is not the grub it may be the grow supporter Kramer mysterium I don't know they claim they claim that they found the notes the notes so somebody said he saw it he said it's 10 or 11th grade mathematics which was excellent for his time right for somebody in in his time 250 years ago to to have achieved the mathematics of let say 11th grade high school mathematics is very very good neighbor knows the name Professor I think mathematics yeah and on the yard side of the gr he's a descendant oh descendant of the girl and he he discusses the girl's mathematics of his ancestor mathematics right so the says that he he studied algebra and all the he says he studied science and but he said that the only thing he didn't study was Pharmaceuticals because his father didn't let him the father said if you study Pharmaceuticals if you become a pharmacist you're going to be busy writing out prescriptions for people all the time and therefore you won't have time to learn Torah heard from Raba bur from the RAB he said that he heard from somebody who went to said don't become a doctor if you become a doctor you'll never be able to learn Torah you'll have a p from learning Torah you don't have to learn Torah if you're a doctor and you're helping people all the time but it's not a great position to be in where you never get to enjoy a blar somebody came to iron cuddler of Lakewood he said the and the Zan are the same right Rashi says we mentioned Zan before you s because we want to convey that has the same reward as so why should I should be he says you're right your will be the same but what about to enjoy a good cheer to enjoy a good R he says that that's why you want to be to to to to enjoy so the the the has the same difficulty he says the ra the the the the way the understood the r understood thei we were trying to illustrate we're trying to put on a pedestal by saying it's it's the same thing as learning T it's not it's even more than learning Torah the let's just read the gr together number 30 on the reference even didn't but he said right heish they were learning all night but they had to stop and say kishma so we brought we we saw last week number 31 in the reference sh we saw very difficult [Music] re says that that's all he is he's a claw MCH we're not talking about somebody who helps people out once in a while we're talking about somebody like who that's what he did he de he he devotes everything that he does he devotes himself entirely for the cloud so he has a bour okay it's like that's very good exactly it doesn't answer krishma one I heard regular interpretation of that is you start asking questions and sh do yeah it has enough by the way three days before P you start to give the is that if you fly away you're going to be going to Miami for p so if you fly to Miami within 30 days of PES you have to check the house foras you need to do a if you fly to Miami more than 30 days before P you don't need to do AAS right the right but say is that if you get two questions from and one is asking about if it's within 30 days of of P you have to first answer the tal who asked the question about p and then you answer the other T you also Force the RAB to learn you can force the rabbi to learn Lear you got to learn the can ask question he allowed to I want no he's not even allowed to because he had that's what I'm saying you're right he's not even allowed because that's what we saw in the RIT the ritah says that if you're already preoccupied with mitvah you're not even allowed to stop to do is now mandatory and MIT is now not even considered a Mitzvah that's what we saw from the okay as oppos to that's that's right the the learns that when you have AZ the second which means it becomes like a non Mitzvah okay so we need really need to understand this says that if you want an exemption from you have to be like as if you have you don't do anything else you gave your life to being and then it becomes like just like when you you have a from so to when you do nothing else other than devotee yourself to the so then you have an now this is very difficult number 32 in the reference sheet says that if you're doing a Mitzvah you don't have to do so why should have to be on the level where you don't do anything else other than I mean we don't find that with other Mitzvah if you're doing Mitzvah you don't have to do Mitzvah where do you ever find this idea that you have to be doing nothing else other than this Mitzvah this is your life Rel to and it's only relative to it only gives you P from it doesn't give you from kishma so the says that is is the greatest Mitzvah okay of all the Mitzvah T is the greatest Mitzvah that was that's what we say every day the Mitzvah of learning Tor is greater than other Mitzvah and therefore the gor concludes the last line over there the that if it's a somebody else can do the mitzvah for you don't interrupt you learning but if it's aah nobody else can do the Mitzvah you close thear and you go do the Mah I remember when I was in Yesa there was a boy who said he went to the mash and he said should I stop learning to go to my grandfather's C it'll make my father very happy if I go to my father's father's C to visit to show respect to the to his father should I go should I stop my learning I'm learning T maybe I shouldn't stop so the M says I'm not sure kind of back and forth and I was thinking to myself of course he should go right there's aah that nobody else can do nobody else can do the K might be different cuz who who wasn't punished because right cuz he was learning ter learning part from so learning part you from learning you know why because your father also has to do if your father says I want you to stop doing a Mitzvah so that you can give me a drink of water well your father has also has an obligation to enable you to do the Mitzvah right so maybe the did have a reason to be mic but is that if you have a mitvah nobody else could do you have to close the gar and you have to do the Mitzvah you don't continue learning when there's a Mitzvah that nobody else can do now this is number 34 in the reference sheet the it's an interesting name the son of the orphan his maybe his father was an orphan I don't know so it would appear so it would appear exactly but it's funny how his father was apparently identified as the orphan okay so let's just read that together let's say you have a Mitzvah that has a time constraint okay let's see according to can only be daved until seven and a half hours into the day have a whole day for so stop doing go to Mitzvah because Mitzvah has a Time constrained if you don't get to Mitzvah you're going to miss it completely you go back to the that has more time is considered a mitvah that doesn't have a time constraint you're busy with a see won't learn the Tes now you have tomorrow to learn the Tes okay by the way this is a I ask people nobody looks at T this way everybody learns they know Tyra is is endless right so people tend to think that the Torah has a real time constraint well you don't have to know the entire Torah doesn't expect somebody to know the entire it's impossible the amount that you actually that that's not each person absor absorbs as much as he can some the M of sh that you should know the if somebody asks you a question you should be able to answer the question but it's you'll never be able to learn the entire Torah you learn as much as you can I remember when I grew up we had this impression that the great po mosha Feinstein they knew the entire Torah it's not true they didn't know the entire Torah the things that they had to answer the questions that came up frequently they the major post they knew the the answers but were always Aras in t that you know they didn't they didn't know everything nobody knows everything yeah they didn't know everything exactly I remember it reminds me the rvas RAS very impressive I told this maybe 10 times here he has over 10,000 truis okay that's a lot right if he was riding truis for 40 years that's a few tras a day it's very impressive so when they had the big debate about the that in wanted to renew the SM so the objected very strongly he says you have no right to renew the because you need to have the consensus of and you renewed the without having consulted with us so therefore you can't renew the so they had this big fight it became very nasty okay it really got very personal the has an entire count right about his back and forth with the mar Mari so they said let's send it to the Ras theas is the r in Egypt I think it was in Alexandria so let's see what he has to say so the rvas wrote A TRU and he cided with the he cided with a that says that you can't renew the SM and he says because the Rah says in order to have you have to be able to anytime anywhere they ask you a question you have to be able to says there's nobody in this generation that's at that level nobody's in that level where they could answer in every single area area of tah scholarship of at least they lost well the says what's be that you can appoint him as a leader over the community that he knows how to answer in every area of and apparently the must have been even that's right even so the must have been scholars in the past that were able to answer in every area of but again I'm sure even such a scholar new shus would have come up that he said I have to look into it thear has many takus so you can't know the entire Torah Nobody Knows the entire Tor even if you know how to in every area of nobody can know the entire Torah so therefore your is to learn as much as you have uh as much as you have available I mean inim you know why you don't have to say every time you go back to learn when was asked re asked his uncle he says when you come back to the Suka you have to make another on theka how come when you get back to learning Tor why don't you have to make another on learning Torah so he says because you're always your whole day you're always thinking about when am I going to be able to get back some say because you're always because you have to live your life according to T so often you have to think about what the tells you can I do this can I do that and also a person is waiting is looking forward to when he can get back to learning gor when he can get back to learning so therefore you never really get completely distracted from the Torah but when you go to work you forget about the so when you come back you have to make another it's interesting that the rash was asked by his son he says do I have to make a every time I come back to learning she says no because you never really get distracted says if you're that's always learning Torah so the if says what if it's not was always learning ter some people like to go to the cafe they like to get involved in Recreation they're not busy with the he makes a h so they say the bathroom the Aur says there's no interruption when a person goes to the bathroom there are that have to be observed in the bathroom there were say when they came out of the bathroom the the morami renberg says he didn't make a bro when he came out of the bathroom he didn't make because he was always waiting to get back to the learning so the say yeah if you're not a who's always hoping and thinking about when I when when when will I be able to get back to learning T you have to make another the T says no the T says the fact that you're always obligated to learn T that means you never disconnect from the T therefore nobody has to make another the meaning is he sees like the Taz and every s let's say somebody wants to watch a film with his wife so he goes watches a film with his wife you ever seen anybody who makes another when he finishes the film shom shom let's he didn't watch the film with his wife he watched the film with a friend okay okay so the says the same thing okay if it's a Mitzvah the Mitzvah can wait right the Mitzvah is not running away okay so even though somebody else can do it okay you can interrupt mitvah a if you're involved in Mitzvah but Mitzvah is not running around so you can stop doing a and go do Mitzvah even though Mitzvah could be done by somebody else okay Mitzvah is not running away let's give an example but is not running away let's say um I'm trying to think of an example what people it's okay that's yeah I can't really do that unless they pay they to pay the ra they D I never understood Hima doesn't like the whole ad campaign about people ding for you you can D for yourself too right you don't have to have you don't have to pay somebody D it becomes a b over there but my R gets very upset about it it bothers him a lot it bothers me too it bothers him tremendously Solomon was so upset about it he came to complain Toki about it he says you're making a mar becoming a joke paying people to give to I'm very in favor of giving Seda so I remember they asked him I once made a donation says do you want the rabbi to D for you because you made a donation they said no I want Thea to be i g I gave the not because I wanted somebody to D for me you want to be unfortunately people don't have that spiritual maturity and people buy into the whole thing so it get more donations and you can help more poor people okay but if you really want to have spiritual maturity don't give TOA because somebody's going to D for you D for yourself it's better to D for yourself than to have somebody D for if they so good with it feelers and they need money you want to solve my problems you know you need money problem with all your Miracle workings he can't raise money truth he gave a he gave a he gave fact that the at the end no but the truth is thear does say that if somebody has a in his house the gar says if somebody has somebody's ill house go ask somebody to D for you there's nothing wrong with asking somebody to D For You especially some people are the people come with you know I have my wife isn't well please have her in mind when you D that's fine you can ask the who to have him there's nothing wrong with asking somebody to D for you but to make the whole SED contingent on somebody D for you it's it's distasteful it's not it's selling it exactly it makes it it's not so according to so it's a good question it's really in he says that even if you're doing a mitvah you get an exemption from doing aah the question is what's the the says that that every time you do a you're also fulfilling a because of so we said that maybe very good so we wanted to say last week based on what you said that maybe according maybe that's maybe it depends on that it's every is then you're doing a you don't have to do he holds that if you're being you don't have from although most hold that actually you do have a is not sure okay so so the says let's do MIT MIT a can wait okay let's say BL schifer right I have many hours to blow schifer yeah you have until the sun said to blow Sher so bler could wait and then you have somebody who's um who's not feeling well he needs a glass of water he's not feeling well so according to the blowing Sher could wait stop don't blow Scher go and give the person a glass of water because right now he's thirsty can't wait the chauffeur could wait he needs water now he can't wait so you stop doing the Mitzvah that could wait deal with a Mitzvah that's more urgent now he says according to the rules T could always wait right just like said says the could wait so normally I should stop learning Torah for every Mitzvah I should always stop my Torah learning but since Torah is such a precious Mitzvah the said that if somebody else could do the mitah somebody else could give the glass of water continue learning t let if somebody is available to give a glass of water then you continue learning to if nobody else is available to give a glass of water to the person who's thirsty then close the gar and give the person a glass of water that's also the sheet of the tal I put it in bold number 36 also belongs to the mitvah to the category of non- urgent Mitzvah you learn when you have time but T is not considered mitzvah father was Orthodox had a brother who save lives you can if you can because if you if you'll do a better job then yeah even though the whole day you may be involved you won't be able to do other mitv that you're supposed to do in so if you can do a better job as an ambulance driver you become an ambulance driver according to doesn't meanin means that are Jewish don't don't give the job to a or don't give the job to a child right if you have an opportunity to save lives take take it for yourself because you'll make sure to do it better you'll make sure to do a very good job okay so the the the the the rvah says the same thing the number 37 could be done tomorrow okay so this is a new way of looking at you ask most Li ask most people is T is orah is a Mitzvah that could wait or is Mitzvah that can't wait so we seen all these that say is a Mitzvah that could wait is a mitzah if you can't learn the Tois now you learn the Tois tomorrow it's not a Mitzvah that's considered an urgent Mitzvah it's not something that it's not a Mitzvah that has a time constraint this also be part of the idea that the Army rights yeah so the have to I gave a sh on this the the the say we don't go to the Army because we're learning tired but that's not the right answer it's not true right there's no pure from going there's no so they say they they quote the Mitzvah of that when they used to go to war you had a th people learning Tor and then you had a th people fighting and there is even a med that seems to say that they used to match them up it's true but that's not byah everybody needs to go out the war right so therefore I discourage the I hold that they shouldn't be saying that I should they shouldn't tell the public that we don't go to the Army because we're learning tired that's not what they should be saying the reason was because when the state was founded the the felt very threatened by secular Zionism because they saw in the borian didn't want them in the army he did well that's one of the M yeah benor didn't want there to be benan didn't want the religionist to infiltrate the Army he wanted a cyle army he don't want a religious Army so the reason is because the the Kish and the Rob of brisk they said oh look look what happened vajan vajan half the vajan Yesa left and became totally secular right in Lithuanian communities some places you had 80% of them becoming completely secular because of the the sorry because of so a lot of the ideological heas of the hasca were also the founders of the state a lot many of the founders of the state were also members of theca so they said if ascola did what they did in Europe without an organized without the infrastructure of a state now that they have the infrastructure of a state they're going to it's going to be 10 times worse so I even have a sa for at home quotes from the Kish the Kish said he doesn't believe are going to be he's not sure if there's going to be religious Jews 10 years after the founding of the state that's what his prediction was he says there was even a story there that Kish was going to the mat Baker and he says the state was founded already two years ago three years ago and we're still baking Matas I wasn't sure if we're going to still be able and it made sense they saw what the HCA did in Europe I don't know what the assimilation R went they got as high as 80% in ger in places like Germany St in the states and so they said what we need to do is we need to isolate we need to become we totally need to um insulate we need to go into the ghettos have to have nothing to do with secular culture no no going to the universities no going to the Army that's why they don't go to the Army not because they're learning Torah if the only reason is the learning Tor you have to close the gar and you have to go fight because the M that's the that's the real reason that's why I don't think it's a good idea for them to say we don't learn yeah in Israeli and the ETC very inter and they didn't agree they didn't agree said we have to come we have to give less time for Learning and more time for the take you can't take away from the learning Torah so the truth is the the gum were you know they were very they they they adopted this policy of isolationism isolationism politically means you don't get involved in other Wars but another type of isolationism so they and they said let's rebuild the yiva system that was destroyed in Europe and they were very successful thousands of yeshivas they thought this state would would spell the end of and it was just the opposite the state gives the most money to tah learning and the Kum have flourished in the state of Israel and the religion in general Judaism has flourished in the state of Israel more so than in any previous time imp on normous impact many of of the boys that come from America here are marbit in America back B old back very well point a lot of the T in America is as a result so the center of Torah is right here in AR under the state of Israel so they were very big they build up the the gloriously they built up a huge so now maybe it's time for it's a little bit of a hot potato and I'm getting into but it's time now I think that we should start setting up units in the Army where they learn and they go to the Mikvah if they want to and they with they can get the best I think that's what we need to do I think we need to start uh we need to make units in the Army it's going to take time but that's I think that's I think that's what the boys they should give them the best there and they and if they word about having contact with girls or whatever they don't want to have to think so make it sinua make it thing make it and it take a bit of time but I think that's a good thing in my humble opinion everybody's disagree yeah vehicle yeah they there kind ofr that would be yeah so iron leyman supported it and supported but they got a lot of backlash they got a lot of backlash the more held that they're they're opening up the the gates open it up I kind of people they need people I remember I had a friend I had a friend um what was his name he was a genius he was a very high IQ so they were really after him they wanted him in high-tech the the the Army is is they want the good they want the big brains so they kept calling him all the time they said come come come come he was a very brilliant guy CU when he came to the Army his mother was Israeli he did the IQ test and they saw he was off he saw he was a brilliant guy so they wanted him very much they want they want the big brains there okay but give them give the give them a chance so societal changes always have to happen gradually it just doesn't work otherwise that's just the way it works right abrupt changes are usually unsuccessful give them a chance after War give a give them a chance already talking about starting up the protest oh but of the protest but um so anyway so this is this is an interesting um perspective you see from the the is called so when we say that you have to close the G to do a Mitzvah it's not because we're being more lenient when it comes to no we're being more because since if you follow the normal guidelines of Mitzvah you would have to stop learning Torah for every Mitzvah because it's a Mitzvah T could wait but because T is special because Torah is a greater Mitzvah that's the in says that even the Mitzvah can compare to T so he said that if somebody else could do the mitzvah for you so let's somebody else do the Mitzvah somebody else could give a glass of water to somebody's thirsty let somebody else do it right so let me repeat that because this is the key points of the right according to the regular guidelines ofah if you have a mitvah that could wait so stop the Mitzvah and do the Mitzvah that can't wait but now when it comes to T if somebody else could do the mitzvah for you so then don't stop burning tah because T is so important the assumtion is that the person who does the Mitzvah you can do it as well as well as you do very good it's only a if that person could do the Mitzvah as good as you could but if but if you could do the Mitzvah better then it's not aah so you see number 39 in the in the reference by the way this is a if if would have seen these they would have been able to resolve a lot of difficulties because of the for example right he had a very difficult okay so he doesn't understand the rambam in number 38 the rambam says that a man is right look at the last line and if you're learning you don't have to get married which means to say that when you talk about which Mitzvah gives you a greater p a greater exemption ra says if there's a other mitz then all the more so that you have the when it comes to gives you an even stronger exemption from tah learning so then says I don't understand it it doesn't make any sense to me right why what's the K right more when it comes to T when it comes to t you have to interrupt your ter learning to to do Mitzvah so why does the ram say it's not true we're more lenient when it comes to so number 40 doesn't either understand this R right see look at the second line number why does the say we're not more stringent when it comes to when it comes we more lenient doesn't either understand number 40 when it comes to so why were all these why did they find this ra so perplexing because they were assuming that there's no when it comes to when it comes to you have to close the and but we saw that's not true the reason why you would have to close the G is because the Torah can wait the Torah is aah so we're more when it comes to when it comes to we say that if somebody else could do it you let somebody else do the MIT so if these would have seen the they would have not had this difficulty now what about mitvah p p can also wait P is not urgent either you can wait you can get married in 5 years you can get married in 10 years there's no there's no it's not a Mitzvah that's running away just as tal is not running away getting married is not either running away so therefore you have generally speaking we're more when it comes toide yes somebody somebody else might take his wife somebody grab the woman so if somebody else might grab the woman then you can't then you have no then you can't say I'm learning gor no no no no if somebody else might grab that girl and that's the girl that that you that's the right one so then it's a mitvah so then you have to stop your learning T but but if there's no specific girl that somebody else might grab so the raham says if I'm learning T I could push off the wedding but the Rah says it's only if doesn't have an urge to get married people can't stay celbrate human beings are not designed to be celbrate human beings were designed to procreate so the ra says if somebody is he has to get married the writes in that everybody's he says everybody is assumed to be in that category human beings are created with that urge to procreate okay so according to the he's like oh by the way number 43 I mentioned the run the if somebody's digging a grave so the r says even when he's resting he has a okay so so I'd like to say the following uh I'd like to say the following you know if somebody is learning T so the idea of if he's so then he has aah because I think that if somebody for him T becomes like a Mitzvah if somebody devotes himself I know it's a little bit of a here but if somebody totally devotes himself to tarah so since he's so devoted for Tara if he interrupts his tarah learning so then he's going to lose out from the Torah normal people the Torah could wait you and I we're not learning all the time so T has the status of a Mitzvah that's not urgent the tah learning could wait for tomorrow but if somebody has completely devoted himself to Torah so then it becomes a mitvah so that's why if somebody's he doesn't have to D okay so it's the same with I think the idea is this is my explanation why has to be a CLA mench why has to be somebody who's totally devoted to Torah because if there's no end just like Torah there's no end Torah has theah for normal people Torah has the Mitzvah of Mitzvah that's not urgent because there's no end to how much tah you could learn so it's the same thing with there's no end to how much money you could raise if you're a fundraiser who's fundraising for public causes so there's no end to how much money you could raise for public causes so since there's no end so therefore it has the of but if somebody's a clment where he gives himself over completely to the cloud he doesn't do anything else so then his Mitzvah has the status of a Mitzvah it's a Mitzvah that's urgent it's a Mitzvah that's that's going to pass so therefore if you're a person who once in a while raises money for your Shool or you know there's a fundraiser in your and you chip in and you help out a bit so for you the Mitzvah of has the ofah but if you're like where you give yourself completely over to the CL so then for you you're becomes like a it becomes like an urgent mitvah that if you don't what you don't accomplish now if you don't so therefore that's why you have to be somebody who's totally given over to the claw in order to have a pure from in order to have a p from from that's the way I understand that's compar are two things where there's no end to how much you can do and therefore it only assumes the status of a mitvah an urgent mitzah that's something that you totally give yourself over to holds that if you have a specific cause somebody needs help there's a specific then you don't have to give yourself over completely then it has a din of a Mitzvah an urgent Mitzvah even if you're not giv over to the CL but if you're talking about General things like fundraising where there's no end to how much you can fund raise then it only has the D of an urgent Mitzvah if it's something that you completely give yourself over to so therefore when the I believe that the the said we compare somebody to somebody who's learning Tor which means to say just as when it comes to T if you want the T to have the status of a Mitzvah Mitzvah an urgent Mitzvah it's only if you're totally given over to the it's the same thing with the if you want the the fundraising to be something that's urgent something that's considered something that can't wait has to be something that you're totally given over to and your sh holds thei was the one that compared t with um kishma and thei look at number 6 47 on the reference sheet that according to the was from kishma right can you see the Shi the Shi holds that that the the root of of krishma T is learning Torah that's the root of kishma it's a form of of Torah learning so therefore according to thei um if somebody's he's from kishma so that solves the problem we said that we said that has a from doesn't have a from well if you go according to the of thei it was actually thei that said that like learning Torah so since it was thei that made this comparison that put the two on the same pedestal and your go that if you're even from so now the if you go according the was that thei was comparing T and that just as if you're going to be P from Kish has to be it's the same with the is going to give you from Kish it has to be something you're totally given over to because only in those cases does the and the have the status of a right perhaps it was a bit of a complicated sheer I'm not sure if that last section of the share was quite complicated I'm not sure if I manage to convey it properly I don't like going over time but we'll stop this year but even if you didn't the at the end still a lot of informative stuff over here but basically just to finish up the share the ideas we have that there's two MIT that are endless one is T there's no end to how much T you can learn and another thing is how much you can help the CRA there's no end to how much you can help CRA and therefore these are not considered urgent mitzvas you don't have to stop everything you're doing in life for these two mitzvas unless it's something you give yourself over completely to that's the if you give yourself over completely to Torah or you give yourself over completely to helping the then thei that made this comparison holds you don't even have to say kishma you don't even have to DAV you don't have to do anything if it's something that you hily give yourself over to okay we'll stop over I'm sorry for going over time um
