okay so uh as I uh are we uh is the time
ready it's I don't want to start oh what
what time does are we uh is it 10:15
already Yes okay yes so as I said last
week uh we're starting a new unit so to
speak and the new unit is um a
discussion of all of the mitzvos of the
T that are connected
to and last week we talked about a few
things but mainly we were focusing on
chabas the fact that strangely enough
chabas is connected not only to Bri
in but chabas is also connected to be
a in fact you might remember from our
prior discussion of Kish and
havdalah that there actually is a halic
requirement that in the kidish itself
there be a mention of
if you remember that's why some had
argued that a person
is in the Friday night and the Mish
brings maybe not because in the amida
Friday night there is no mention of Z
Le so today I want to talk about bit
really two mitzvos that are directly
connected to the Exodus and I began
talking about it last week I'm going to
elaborate a little bit more uh one is
the daily Mitzvah called
and the other is the annual Mitzvah of P
that is
called and they are
derived from two
different the to mention verbally The
Exodus every single day is from a
and you shall remember the day that you
left all the days of your life every
single day of your life this has nothing
to do with Pak it has nothing to do with
the Seder it has nothing to do with
matah and mor there's a Mitzvah to
Remember The Exodus all the days of your
life now you may ask me an obvious
question but who says you got to
verbalize it maybe it's means I think
about every day where do we get the idea
that I am to say something about the
Exodus so the rambam himself answers it
and he points
out that the word tsor and the Shish of
Tor is z to remember is the same word
that appears by the Kish of chabas the
fourth
Commandment so just as
the means a
recitation right you don't just think it
so we make a g meaning similarity of
wording although one is z and one is T
but it's the
same that just asish of shabas must be
verbalized must be verbalized and not
just thought now with Amal we also say
the MIT of remembering Amal uh par once
a year has to be verbalized but there
thear gives a reason because it says
both the word and Al
or so consequently means you got to
remember it in your head so Z is adding
you have to verbalize but thata is a
very amik specific drasa because of the
combination
of
and it doesn't say it only says so we
have to make the Gaz sh to to shabas and
the light right so this is a mitvah
according to most opinions at least
called how do we fulfill that Mitzvah
well you can fill it any way you want
really uh you don't even have to have a
PK you could just say I I hereby
remember and I'm grateful that God took
B out of MIT so there is no particular
way the Tyra says you got to fulfill it
but as a practical matter this is why
the added to the one of the reasons the
third paragraph of shma which is about
CIS and because we say at the end of
that says to us I am the Lord your
God who took you out of the land
of to be for you a God and even the art
sitter tells you that when you say that
verse you should have kavana to fulfill
the tyus Commandments
of so it's a daily commandment quite
amazing now the thing is this when is
this commandment done so this is the
famous m in the mishna that is actually
quoted in the ha there's a m I'm I'm I'm
going to work with the ha because that's
a more familiar text but the that
passage of the hag is actually
taken from a mission
at the end of the first peric of braas
let's just look what it says
RAR
rabar
says behold I am a person that is like
70 years old I am like a person who is
70 years old so that you know the famous
Russia that re aaria because there was a
big mlus between Rin Gamel the head of
the Sanhedrin and re yah
Rin Gamel was deposed by the members of
the Sanhedrin and they had to figure out
who should be the next Nasi they didn't
want to make RAB Yoshua the Nasi because
that would have been too painful to
Rabin Gamel uh they were thinking RAB
AKA should be Nasi who was the greatest
of the but RAB akba came from non-jews
because aa's ancestors were were G so he
didn't have the ofos so they finally
decided what in modern politics would be
called a Darkhorse candidate and that
was RAB alazab bin aarya he was a cohain
he was D from Ezra he was a 10th
Generation from the great Ezra who is
compared to mosha rabenu he was very
wealthy he
was he had good political connections
because the Nasi had to negotiate with
the Romans on behalf of the Jewish
people uh so they made him Nasi problem
was of course he was only 18 years old
that's pretty young to be the N of the
Sanhedrin so as a result he was worried
that people would not listen to him he's
just a teenager still so miraculously
his beard turned white overnight and
that is the meaning the gar says behold
I am like a person who is 70 I am not 70
I mentioned before my wife has a
different shotar doesn't give it that
way says once you get into she points it
out that a lot of my even though they're
in and other things but they did not
take sh rabanas they still have dark
beard uh the sh rabbis you know the
beard turns gray very very quickly uh so
that's what happened to him as soon as
he gets this authority of the son edrin
he turns prematurely old so that's my
wife's explanation of it but the gamar
itself says it was kind of a miracle
yeah yeah I was wondering if the N it
was a time when the N had to be from yud
from the from the yeah so this is very
interesting um it is true that at
a well oh okay let me explain that
actually the truth is originally the Nan
were not from if you look in peros right
peros actually gives you a list of who
was the Nasi and who was the a best in
the second in command uh the idea that
the Nasi should also be from Mal from or
Shuda started with hillo now the truth
is ran Gamel himself was a great
grandson of hillo so at that point you
are correct so you're asking a good
question but you'll see from the rest of
the story that rabar aaria was intended
to be a temporary n and primarily ran
gam actually got it back just like Rak
who was not from Shuda but he was a
temporary after theban so occasionally
it was not a but it was a hhoga that we
try to have the Nasi from sh Yehuda uh
but sometimes they would they would
deviate so becomes now it's it's a
fascinating Story the AR says I'll
kabala that RAB alaz B aarya was a
gilgul a
Reincarnation of Shu
hanavi now Shi died at a very very young
age it's amazingly Shmi died at
52 by the way this is one of the most
difficult goras why did sh die so young
very strange gor it's like was trapped
by her Words which I admit is very
difficult for me to understand said to
hasem if you give me a child I will give
him to
Hashem
forever but we know that leol in the
Torah often means y 50 years so she
brought him to the bik when he was
two and he was mour to the service of
God for 5050 years um again I I don't
have a good in that because one would
not assume plays games like that but she
said the wrong words ah gotcha you're
trapped I I'll leave for now I'll leave
it with it but be it as it may Shmo did
die at the age of 52 so it turns out if
RAB bin aarya is a
reincarnation he was born with the soul
of a man who spent 52 years on
Earth so when he was
18 He is 70 har
and the whole gar has a very interesting
story it mentions the day that Rari
became
AI they added four becausei was also the
head of Yeshiva Sanhedrin and Yeshiva
they added 400
benches I'm not sure how many people sit
on a bench but 400 where do you put it I
mean we had to have 400 benches 400
benches in the Bas Med because R Gamel
had a very restrictive admissions policy
re Gamel only admitted people too kabaro
they were just as good inside as they
were the outside if they weren't perfect
forget it RAB alaz bin aarya had what we
would call open Admissions and so many
people came to learn Torah who would not
have learned Torah under the old system
so raban Gamel felt very if he sees so
many people coming to learn and he
realizes I I could have done this too
why didn't I do this so he had a dream
in which he saw beautiful white V phases
like flower vases that were filled with
dirt as if Hashem is telling him ah
listen they look good on the outside but
they're not so great but then the gamar
says
amazingly F that wasn't the case Hashem
wanted him to feel good so Hashem showed
him that in reality he he should have
let them in that's quite quite amazing
and to this very day to this very day
this is a debate within the ISA system
within K Israel should we strive for
elitist institutions for the best and
the brightest or should we be more
democratic so to speak you know I know
in Lakewood I assume in ER this is an
issue too well actually I know it is but
I know in Lakewood they've done a lot
about this there are particularly for
girls there are many girls in Lakewood
who literally cannot get into a high
school they can't get into a high school
uh because they're not brilliant or
whatever it is and there's M your
problem we're not talking about kids on
drugs or kids at risk or alcoholics
we're not talking about that we're
talking about a regular person it's not
good to be regular it's like the U the
old PBS Lake Wun uh we're a town where
everybody everybody is above
average you know so so to be average is
a sign of you know inferiority
and it's a real it's a real problem so
in a way this kind of goes back to this
where re gel said we're only going to
take the best
people but like the Kish said centuries
later how do you
know who's going to come out you know
you just don't know some you take these
like Geniuses and whatever it is and for
different reasons you know that their
potential is not realize and then people
who are not so gifted can become very
very great people so you can't label
people ahead of time in terms of an
admissions policy okay so that's the
story but be going back to the Mish or
the so RAB narya says behold I am like a
man that is 70 years
old so here there are two translations I
did not
Merit sh
that would be said at night I did not
Merit to know that or to do
that
until dorsa
Bena another Tana
Bena and he dared based on this
P you should remember the Exodus from
Egypt all the days of your life so the
word all is extra call is extra it could
have
said so he Benz says if it would have
said only that would have meant we only
mention it in the daytime because that's
when we actually left call the extra
word all the days of your life is Marb
my bed
includes even the
night now
we Pas like Bena the R so we Pas the
Mitzvah is day and the Mitzvah is night
but just matter of interpretation what
does RAB Alazar aarya mean when he says
I didn't
Merit
that The Exodus should be recited at
night until benz's Russia what does it
mean I didn't Merit so there's
auson someon learn very simple I didn't
know the din I didn't know the I was
only doing it during the day I was not
doing it at night and as a result of
benz's I now learned a
new that I didn't know before that is
probably how you would understand it
just reading it simple meaning lo I
didn't Merit that The Exodus should be
recited at night until I heard Bena so
shot number one is is
Ben's is teaching
rabar that rabar didn't
know interestingly enough Rashi does not
learn that
way Rashi
learns
that
is meaning I I was always saying it at
night but I couldn't convince the other
people until I had
Ben so you understand in fact that fits
a little better the grammatical
structure because look at the
passive I did not Merit that it would be
recited if it would have just been I
didn't Merit to recite it he would have
saidar that would have meant I I didn't
Merit to
say I didn't Merit to get other people
to say now there's a lot of P here I
will just draw out a question that you
can think about and that is according to
rashi's RAB alaz Ben aarya was reciting
it at night but he didn't have Ben and
therefore he couldn't convince the till
you have
benha so the question is very obvious if
he didn't have Ben
zasa why was he doing it at night in
other words if I would have asked him
why are you doing it at night and he
didn't know Benz drasa he didn't have a
reason question for Thought okay but be
it as it may we do have
benzas that LE
man now there's another opinion we'll
get to now
here's a simple
question everybody knows this passage uh
even if you didn't learn the Mish ofos
but you know this passage from the hag
the hag as you know is an anthology
almost almost everything in the hag is
taken from the gor the medis thees right
the is a compiled anthology of different
passages question why is that
Passage in the
ha so you might give me a very simple
answer well listen we're having a Seder
at
night so we need to establish the that
requires that we mention the Exodus at
night because until we know that we have
to say The Exodus at night why would we
be having a Seder at night that's the
answer you might give you get zero
credit for that answer that answer is
absolutely totally wrong
and the reason is the Mitzvah that I do
Le seder is not the daily Mitzvah
of it is the annual Mitzvah
of and that is p according to all
opinions we only make the seder at night
so whether I go with Benz Or I don't go
with Bena that does not change when you
made the
Seder so if that's the
the relevance of whether the daily
Mitzvah is at night has absolutely no
connection to L Seder in other words the
question becomes why is that passage
even recited it is not at all relevant
to the Mitzvah of
seor
you right so when you have your SED this
coming year so you could ask uh your
Yeshiva uh children or grandchildren uh
this this question and see see what they
what they come up with because it is a
very simple question in so let me give
you a simple answer the simple answer is
that we had just said a paragraph or two
before the more you recount the
story meaning don't just get by with the
minimal even ha but you try to elaborate
on the story
so the truth of the matter is this we
can prove this from Bena because here's
the thing if I wouldn't go like Bena
that normally there's no Mitzvah at
night but P there's a Mitzvah at night I
might have erroneously thought that the
same minimal Mitzvah you have during the
day the whole year is the minimal
Mitzvah of Le seder and there's no
reason to be marba but once I know that
the Mitzvah of minimal is already
relevant even at night then if the Tyra
gives me the Mitzvah of seor it must be
requiring an elaborate SE so essentially
Benz proves
Kar this is this is what what the N says
okay now be it as it may this is Benz so
so again Benz
darians from the word
coal that the daily not the annual the
daily Mitzvah of
Z is daytime and night and that is why
both in Shak and in Arvis we recite in
in the third paragraph of
the now this is important for women to
know especially because most women I
gather do not D in
AR uh so they're not going to say it as
part of my so it's important to know
know that even if you don't D AR and
again you're not I mean I'm not saying
you're but but if you don't AR you still
should recite at
night that one verse I am Hashem your
God who took you out of MIT because
there's still a Mitzvah men and women
are obligated to mention so I think
that's something people don't don't
realize there is a on men and women
according to Mena to
mention
and to
mention say
again
mention yeah yeah so it's a standalone
Mitzvah in other
words no if you no if you D in Mar you
say it in Mar in par so so you have it
automatically if you D in but I'm saying
is if you don't D in you still have to
say the p or you know some
related okay so yeah why isn't why can't
you assume that thata is only telling
you that in order to be y you can be OT
Bala if you didn't do in the daytime you
it doesn't Pro you have to say it twice
a day it only means you have to say it
you can say it call any
time so you're saying that you only have
to do it once but you could be y in the
day or the night so that's what you're
saying uh that's interesting I mean I
hear what you're saying I I'm not aware
of anyone that actually learns that way
um
um everybody says you got to do it I
mean the raan pasin day and night but I
hear what you're saying in terms of
basic it's
it's now the mishna then actually the
too the and the mishna then
brings another view of
the which actually is aashan rash
because it's the whole thing doesn't
make sense what RAR says I wasn't able
to convince
the until
Bena which implies once Bena gave his
drasa I convinced them but right after
benz's drasa it
says say a different Russ so what do he
so he must be talking about different I
convinc this group but there's another
group that still didn't get along and
they have a different Russia they say if
it would have
said that would have meant the day
call is not including the night but it
teaches me that even when mashiach comes
so I might have thought that the
Miracles of mashia will be so great that
why should we bother about the Exodus
that's a kite that's a small thing teras
is even when mashia comes we have to
remember verbally so it turns out that
we have
a
Ben and
the how
to
bores the extra word
call and these are mutually exclusive in
other words the following according to
Ben zoma
call that's the K
call is mar the
night and that means we will not mention
the Exodus I'll talk about that when
mashia comes in other words each one has
a an extra obligation and an extra
exemption again according to Ben zoma
you must mention it at
night and you're not going to mention it
when mashia comes I'll discuss why
according to
the you must mention it even comes and
you don't have to mention it at night
meaning there's no opinion that holds
both ideas meaning is there an opinion
that says You must mention it day and
night and when mashia comes the answer
is BAS no because the opinions are
mutually exclusive on each other's point
according to Ben night and not
mashia according to
the only day but including mashia and
not at
night we pasin the ran paskin like
Benz so we
mention day and night and apparently
we're not going to mention it liot
hamashia and Benz and the gar explains
that Ben zoma actually
bases his idea that we're not going to
mention Masia on a in the
Nai the nvi of course is
known as the prophets of
Corban he of course prophesied about
theban but he experienced theban as well
he was in ER is at the time of theban he
composed m
and Y was known as the prophet of Doom
and Gloom indeed even in English today
we talk about jiah is a someone who's
always talking about things falling
apart and yet in y there are also
beautiful beautiful
Prophecies of and comfort uh the famous
Nas about
Rao right ra ra is crying over her
children and hasem says to ra
right withhold your voice from
crying your children shall return this
is in y this is not yes who's known as
the prophet of comfort this is
Yi so
among
of are the idea days will come says
Hashem that you will no longer say by
the life of God who took me out of
MIT you'll no longer talk about that but
you'll talk about the God that took you
out of B and MIM and all of the
countries of the gas meaning now when we
think about the great of we think about
MIT because that was the greatest thing
we had y was saying there's going to be
something greater and when that great
day comes you will no longer thank God
for The Exodus you will thank hasem for
the that will be even
greater than so Ben does not look at
this as rhetoric you know we would read
it you know a nice
inspirational Ben looks at this as as as
AIC point that when mhia comes we will
no longer have the
obligation of recounting The Exodus
because it'll be replaced
replaced by recounting
hashem's in the G now what do the say
now the say we will mention
it what do they do with the verse in yo
so they say that when it says you will
no longer say thank you Hashem who took
us out of Egypt that means MIT will no
longer be the primary thing meaning
we're still mention it but it will be
mentioned as a secondary Point uh the
example is it says from
Ab it says by AB L I'm sorry the answer
is by yob yob yeah AB is the other way
by yakob it says your name shall no
longer be
Yakov it shall be
Israel now in the case of Yakov unlike
Abraham that's another unlike AB the
case of Yakov even after his name became
Israel the Torah still refers to him on
many occasions as Yakov so the same
thing uh the same idea
as
is means will
be again it's very interesting because
with it's not that way the name
Abraham totally uproots the name AB so
it's interesting that Ben compares the
to Abraham where the akir is
and
the compare the P to yov where the akir
the uprooting is
not okay so this is the
basic will we have
a to
mention when Masia comes according to
Ben zoma's
interpretation of the verse in yahu we
will not according to the's
interpretation of the verse of Y we will
and since we
like Z so apparently we will not mention
it are we going to have the obligation
of SE poor so this is a this is a very
good question so let me raise a few
questions and that's a very good
question we know that the rambam
formulated 13 principles of Faith these
are called the
yudo and if a Jew does not believe in
these 13 principles um the r actually
says he is not a I mean he's a obviously
he's a Jew I mean he doesn't become a GU
but he's not a member of the faith
community of Amel meaning it's very
interesting the rambam considered one
one could think about this the rambam
considered defective
theology as worse than defective
observance meaning I could be aab and I
could do all sorts of AOS because of my
but I believe in
the so I'm still a Jew in good
standing if I'm a righteous person who
doesn't believe in the yimin I'm in big
big trouble in fact one could talk about
this you know people sometimes like to
say Judaism is more deed than Creed more
about deed than
Creed May may be so but the one thing I
can tell you is the rambam would
certainly not agree to that I I think it
is defensible from another perspective
but the rambam considered the um
ikuna as extraordinarily important and
foundational
now a little uh side here the ikuna
appear in every sitter some people say
them every day some people don't those
are
the so I just want to point out that
those are not the words of the r
the is an anonymous composition based on
the Y now the Y and the r appear in the
his commentary to the mishas his
introduction to peric the 11th peric of
Sanhedrin where he
articulates uh the
Yik and an is an
adaptation of the Y LM similarly in
yigdal and if you look at the song
yigdal uh different shows actually once
again it's in the sitter I mean
theoretically some people can say it
every day most people don't but Friday
night or shabas morning uh in a many
shows yigdal if you look at yigdal is a
again an
anonymous poetic
rendition of the
yamuna and since there since 13 is an
odd number that's why in the of yal
you got to repeat the last stanza
because the the tune is in a couplet and
uh number 13 is an is the odd man out so
you got to
repeat whatever it is to complete the
complete the
musicality of it now one of the
ramsa is the Tyra will never be
replaced or
superseded the mitzvos of
Hashem are
Eternal meaning this is going Beyond
Torah because theoretically one might
say yeah I believe the Torah came from
God but it can be superseded in fact
that is
exactly Christianity and Islam
Christianity and Islam believe that God
gave the Torah to the Jews at har they
believe in Matan tah they're from they
believe in Matan Tor but what do they
believe that God changed his mind God
replaced the Revelation to the Jews with
a revelation through his son yashka or
through Muhammad or whatever it would be
so this iar is the rambam's main
Salvo against Christianity and is Islam
and that is what is called to use a
fancier word the immutability of the T T
the non changeability of meaning it's
not enough for a Jew to believe the
Torah is divine that's another
RoR it's not just the Torah is divine
which of course is true that's before
that but it's unchangeable Hashem will
never change the
Torah the r says if the greatest prophet
in the world does the greatest miracle
in the world to try to tell you that
shabas should be moved to Sunday
or we no longer have to keep a Mitzvah
Hally he is
a and he's put to death and how we did
the miracle magic optical illusion maybe
hasem is testing
us
Miracles
cannot ever Proclaim that any part of
the Torah is superseded The Only
Exception is if it's a temporary
suspension this is called to so an
example would be ELO and Har carel when
ELO is disputing the prophets of the Bal
remember he built him his b and they
built him his and he called on Hashem
that fire should come down and consume
his Coran and that brought everybody to
chuva it lasted only one day and they
bowed down and they said
Hashim now there's a b mikash when
there's a b mikdash you're not allowed
to bring Corban outside of
am how could and Har bring Corban in Ka
right Harel and the answer is that's
harha temporary onetime
violations can be allowed but if Navi
were to declare that from now on we
could bring coronos anywhere we want he
would be a ner he would be
executed this is the rambam's famous e
about
the
immutability of the Torah now there was
another great Jewish
philosopher um around 150 years 200
years after the
ramban rose Alba Ando wrote a very very
interesting book on Jewish philosophy
it's called
saim The Book of
fundamentals and in the book of
fundamentals he
argues that the rambam was counting too
many things as
iar and he said a lot of what using the
analogy of a tree an iar is like a shish
a root a lot of what the rambam called
iar is really an anaf it is a
branch and you can still be a good Jew
if you believe in the iar even if you
don't believe in every
Branch uh one example that he gave is
the rambam counts as an
both Mas
and now says let me go back a minute
that instead of there being three fund
I'm sorry instead of being 13
fundamental principles of Faith there
are only three fundamental principles of
Faith that's why it's called sa the book
of his
fundamentals his fundamentals are
mitem that there is one
God number two
God rewards
goodness and punishes
sin
accountability and number three God
communicated his will through Torah
Torah so the rambam has
13 Ru has let me give you let me give
you a few illustrations of what the
differences would be what if a person
believes in God
as the creator of Heaven and Earth but
believes that God could have a body if
he
wants a body he believes that God could
have a
goof according to the
rambam ascribing any type of physicality
to God is a violation of the uh the
second ikuna that God has no goof if you
believe God has a goof you're notus even
if you put on and you do all the mitzvah
according to ralo now ralo doesn't say
God has a g he is not saying that but
ralo says if somebody believed that
hashm as a
goof that is like an an that's a branch
coming out of belief in God but he
believes in the ior of God he is making
a mistake he is a
toah but he is not a cofair he is not a
heretic and indeed it's brought down
that there were
reim who did believe that God could
assume
the Lush of
a in fact if you think about it one
could make the logical argument now the
kids always ask the question can God
commit suicide can God all these things
if God God can do anything so you're
telling me God can't have a body why not
if he wants to why not who's going to
stop him so in truth there is a certain
logic in saying God can do whatever he
wants
including becoming human now the R would
say that's the r
indeed would say it's a mistake it is a
mistake but that's not a mistake going
to Anar that's a mistake going to an an
that that's one example another example
is mashia the rambam counts both
mashia
and
as now Rev
says Masia and are
not they are just branches of reward and
Punishment so let's assume a person
believes I don't believe bodies are
going to come back
physically I believe that when you die
your soul is rewarded by God according
to the ramban the person is Na borus and
aof ravala would say he's making a
mistake in thear ofes but he's not a
Cofer because he's
m in the concept
ofes it's important to be aware of
revala because it can actually be very
very
helpful sometimes sometimes in dealing
with kids at risk or older older people
who you know uh there are certain
aspects of Jewish
belief that they cannot fully accept but
if they understand that there is an
alternative Jewish theological system
that redefines thear auna in a different
way sometimes that could be a way that
people can can go with
now ralo goes through all of the and
asks many many different questions and
when it comes to immutability of the
Torah he asks the following
question from Benz from
Benz how can the rambam
say there's a fundamental principle of
Jewish
faith that no Mitzvah of the
Torah is ever going to be
changed
superseded or
replaced I'll give you an explicit
example of a Mitzvah that is going to be
dropped and that is according to Ben
zoma based on his understanding
so Ram are you saying Bena was an
aorus because Benz understood that a
Mitzvah is going to be dropped and that
will be especially difficult because the
rambam paskins like Ben zoma right
because the rambam says we have to
mention it at night so ralo does ask
this Kasha
uh about the immutability principle how
could you say the Mitzvah are never
going to
change what
about based on Ben's understanding of
the in y in other words according to
this y the
Nai is telling us from Hashem that a
certain mitv is going to be
cancelled so it's a very good K the r
it's a very strong K the r rule so there
are a few answers to
this one answer is from the rashba ra
schlomo Bader who was one of the great
we shown him in Spain in
Barcelona and the rash says the
following oh it's a it's a bit of a a
daring answer he
says that we have to look not at the
specific Mitzvah but we have to look at
the Tas of the mitzvah
the purpose of remembering the Exodus is
to thank
Hashem for redeeming
us now that concept of thanking Hashem
for our
Redemption is not going to get
nullified it'll just focus on the
biggest Redemption that we have in other
words that's not called a beetle if you
change shabas from Sunday or if you say
you could be M carbos side of the Bas of
mikash or if you say you don't have to
where fill in that would be nul
nullifying a Mitzvah but if you say that
your to thank hasem
for will be moved
from toia you're still preserving the
essence of the Mitzvah which is G thank
Hashem on a daily basis for your Gul now
the rashba adds going to your specific
question that even like Bena
that you're not going to mention MIT on
a daily basis you will still have a
Seder you will still eat matah and PES
you will still bring a carbon PES
because on the anniversary of the
event right so so it's interesting Benz
zoma does
maintain that the daily Mitzvah will
drop out because it'll be replaced by a
focus on a greater
Redemption but the annual commemorations
of The Exodus are still going to be
there so there's going to be
seore make AER right there's going to be
matah there's going to be carbon PES
yeah a question what say yeah it's a
good question I I don't think I could
give you an actual list but but there I
think there are two major
components yeah the question is we have
this Mitzvah to Remember The
Exodus but what are we supposed to think
about when we remember it as I remember
that hasem took us out of is Are there
specific
elements that are supposed to be
elicited from me by virtue of that
recitation so I was saying there is no
list per se uh but I would suggest there
are two basic ideas one
isarov gratitude
and the other is recognizing Our
obligation to be subservient to Hashem
because he took us out of that slavery
and therefore we became his
so focusing on hem as our Liberator also
focuses on ashem as our master so MIM is
both a source of gratitude and a source
of
subservience uh to the Divine uh as as
the as the Torah says you are my slaves
I took you out of of do in fact some
even say although I find it a little
difficult that part of why the Jews
needed to be in
MIT was they should learn what it's like
to be a slave and therefore they could
become slaves of Hashem I find that
difficult because the slavery of Hashem
is not like the slavery of par it's a
different type of experience hopefully
but but some some do learn that that was
one of the purposes of the Abdus in MIT
yeah I learn that all the all the will
be right right right so now you have a
question because it's clear and the
rambam says it beish also the ramb
actually says except
for when Masia comes we're going to
bring we're going to keep all the Yim
we're gonna keep everything because the
rambam says it is
fundamental that the Tyra is not going
to be changed which means Masia is not
going to take away the
mitz so the question is what about the
famous M kazal that says all of the
holidays all of the Y not chabas but all
of the
Y are going to be
B except for porm there is one geara by
the way and right it says that others
just say porm and I think there's a song
about the a woman that's complaining
about the pesak Blues and she says she
will bear her fate until mashia comes
and she'll no longer have to clean for
PES uh obviously following the that the
mo are going to be B so the rambam says
beish that that's Nots and the meaning
of the statement so it depends how you
learn it some some do learn it literally
but uh the non-literal meaning of the
statement means the word but doesn't
mean they'll be
cancelled but it's like an English we
will say they will pale into
insignificance meaning we will see porim
as the most glorious of the Y because
porim shows the of God even in ordinary
life so but does not always mean we're
not going to keep them but it means
poorm will become fact the Aral says
even now porm has a very special kadush
this is the famous Dr that yum Kipper in
the t is called yum
puim so the AR has a pun that it doesn't
just mean the day of atonements but a
day like porim yum Kipper is almost like
por meaning porim is higher porim is
Holier yum again if you had to pick two
days in the calendar that are least
similar you would figure yum Kipper and
por and yet the Aral says this is the
Holiness the per by the way people ask
okay we still have it's shab
this year so is a while but people asked
if the is still going on and you know we
hope we hope things will be resolved in
a in a good way for the and for the
hostages and for is but the question is
should you tone down on porm
celebrations I mean it comes up a lot
you know whatever it is any type of SIM
should you tone it down um it seems to
me just s that porm specifically should
not be tone down because what is porm
porm is a
celebration of hashem's Yeshua of Isel
even in times of darkness and
persecution so that's the holiday you're
going to deemphasize at a time of
darkness and persecution so poor him
should
be celebrated I'm sure you know listen
when they have time off they uh have a
lot of enthusiasm in terms of how they
keep theim and keep shab and and and the
like so the are actually not going to
tone down their porm and you know we
could we could follow their example in
this yeah I wanted to say that that
specifically now porm has to do with
Iran with Persia with with the Malik
with exactly yeah it's amazing how
somehow things don't change so much
2,000 years ago there was this Persian
guy that wanted to destroy the Jewish
people W okay yeah you're right yeah um
to go back to what you're were saying
about with
Shan like so according to the kuari so
like little louder sorry so according to
thei the quari so he says that Hashem he
relates his relationship to us as he is
our God Who removed us from the land of
Israel
sorry so would that mean that like
Hashem would also look at his
relationship with us
differently so so actually that'll come
to a different answer but but according
to according to what we said so far um
Hashem will redefine will redefine his
relationship as the god that took us out
of G but but your point will actually
come up with another answer of the
morale the morale again the question
we're asking is R's question's question
is how can the rambam say that the
Mitzvah of the Mitzvah will never change
according to Ben Z the Mitzvah of Z
is going to drop out when mashia comes
right that's
RHA on R so rash's answer is yeah it
drops out but it's not really superseded
because we will still
be for G okay Mahar gives another answer
that's actually very interesting it's a
very big says you know even like Bena
you're going to mention the Exodus when
mashiah comes you're going to mention
it I the gamar says be fa you're not
going to mention it so moral says the
following when we mention it MIT
today there are two different ideas that
we're bringing out one is they said for
gratitude but the other
is is the foundation of a Jewish Nation
meaning to
say had we not been taken out at that
moment
we would have hit the 50th level of
tumor so when Bena makes the argument
based on
yo that when mashiah comes there's no
reason to talk about the
Exodus because the Messianic redemptions
are so much
greater that only pertains to the
Gratitude issue meaning why should I
express my gratitude for a lesser
Redemption when I experienced a much
greater
Redemption but but in terms of the fact
that without MIT there wouldn't have
been a Jewish people for sure I have to
remember that because I wouldn't be
there for mashiah had there not been a
Jewish people so when menoma says you're
not going to mention you Masia he means
you're not going to focus on the
Gratitude aspect
of but you will still have to focus on
the fact that this was the basis of our
relationship with Hashem
which means according to the moral you
will do it but you won't have the same
cavanas meaning now it has a double
cavana after mashia comes it'll have a a
single kabana that's a very interesting
KES because what he's actually saying
is for all practical intents and
purposes you will do that Mitzvah even
MH comes so obviously don't have a
question at all so these are kind of two
answers to Ral BOS Kasha but again I do
want to emphasize that even if we
understand that Benz takes away the
Mitzvah lagam that does not apply to the
annual Commandments seder Corbin PES
seore matah Mor for sure you're going to
do because the rambam admits that on the
anniversaries of events it's always
appropriate to uh commemorate them uh in
various in various ways
