we're
recording okay good morning everyone uh
I feel a little awkward but hopefully it
it improves the uh the sound quality and
um hope that uh everyone is is
well um as I indicated um I did actually
want to talk about a h point that is
connected to Kaneka but it's a much more
General point so even though it's not
Kaneka anymore we could still talk about
it and indeed before Kan we were talking
about benching and different aspects so
here I want to talk about Al which is a
very interesting point uh we know of
course that the T requires a
b when you eat bread and we discuss
that to with a of
bread you have to be
full uh and that's what we call the long
benching that's the long
beone you know a lot of people I include
myself we sometimes don't want to wash
we say so I remember just a little bit
of a mus I remember um attending Leva of
an elderly woman and her grandson was
one of the M pedum he spoke about his
Bubby and he said his Bubby never
understood the concept of not wanting to
wash why don't you want to wash it's not
because you don't want to wash it really
means you don't want a bench that that's
really what it is why would a person not
want a bench why would a person not want
the opportunity to thank a something to
think about I mean again
I I consider myself to be guilty of that
guilty of that as well but we do know
that in addition to the long
batone there is a shorter form for
certain things so when you have MOS that
is not bread like cake or when you have
the shivas the seven species like grapes
or dates or pomegranates or Zim or you
drink wine
uh so there's a special longer that you
say
either alos Etc and then of course you
always have the problem what if you're
having wine and fruit and maos so be
sure you have a a sitter or a little
thing to tell you which order do you do
the combination now we call it Al
although technically Al is is only the
for for but we call we call it Al I'm
going to go with the convention
language now Al is given an official
title in Al is
called may shal it is
a that resembles the
three of that's a bit of misnomer in and
of itself but let's go over in a
moment consists of actually Four
Bros the first
is we thank God for giving us food and
that was actually authored by mosu in
honor of the man falling the second braa
is a unique uh thankfulness to Hashem
for the gift of AR is that's why it ends
Al Al the third bra is a and that was
written by Yeshua B Yeshua B the third
braa asks Hashem to have mercy on the
Jewish people the bikash and and on the
kingdom
of and that was composed at different
time different parts of it by David and
schlomo now here I do want to point out
that obviously the of RA that we recite
today was not the that was written by
David and schlomo because when they
wrote it there was a Bas of mikas at
least when schma wrote it there was a
Bas of mikas so obviously it was changed
or modified
after and that ends
with different different texts and the
like now
originally only had those three only had
three in other words it ended
with and there's a little bit of a that
this at one time was the end of
the because that is why anain is there
because the concept was to show that
this was the official end of bat but
there was a fourth BR that was added
much later and the fourth BR is that God
is good and God does good and that was
added at a much later date this would
add added in the aftermath of the betar
massacre remember the BAM mikdash was
destroyed by the Romans in the year 70
but 60 years later after the Corbat
we have the Barba Revolt which initially
was very very successful Barba liberated
over 900 I mean not many of them were
small villages but 900 Jewish
settlements uh Barba as you know had a
lot of coins that were minted you can
even buy a Bara coin uh not for not so
much money and there is even
archaeological evidence that baroka
under the guidance of rabi AKA began to
lay the foundations of a third bet
mikdash in the by it there is some
archaeological evidence of that remember
RAB AKA thought that Barba was mashia
and maybe another time we'll talk about
was Raba wrong could Bara have been the
mashia you know Etc did RAB AKA make a
mistake but be it as it may at some
point the tide turned and uh there was a
massive retaliation by hadrien and this
was the crushing of the Barba revolt and
the final Massacre uh occurred in betar
it's not the same as modern betar but
it's not so far away and indeed that
also happened on the ninth of
of and we are told that the casualties
of betar were much much greater than the
casualties of the time of thean basa
mikdash itself and hate in fact all of
the you know all of the things we read
about the Romans not allowing Jewish
people to learn Torah that that was not
after theban B mikdash the Romans
destroyed the B mikdash not because they
wanted to destroy Judaism they did it
because there were Jews that were
revolting against Roman Authority and
the didn't even approve of those revolts
and the baskes was simply destroyed as a
matter of crushing a war against Rome
and as far as frite was concerned so to
speak the Romans didn't care and know
after the kba and if a Jew wanted to
learn Torah go ahead and do it where
fill and go ahead and do it keep culture
go ahead and do it all of the gazerro of
the Romans that we hear about that they
killed rabi AKA because he was teaching
Torah all of that is after Barba after
Barba there was true true true difficult
persecutions before bar I mean we lost
the P of Mikes of course that's the
ninth above but uh in reality the
gazerro against the dots were not there
until after barova so one of the things
hadrien did was hadrien did not allow
really has to be a better way to wear
this okay hadrien did not allow
the bodies to be buried he wanted
hundreds of thousands to Simply rot on
the ground and that would teach the Jews
a lesson not to defy Rome a miracle
happened that the bodies did not
decompose and he waited one year two
year three
year I mean it must be very
psychologically disturbing to walk by
and see all of these dead bodies but the
bodies did not decompose
a m m a supernatural Miracle so at that
point hadrien realized that he wasn't
going to be able to make his point and 3
years and a week the 15th of a three
years and a week from the fall of betar
hadrien allowed the bodies to be
buried and to commemorate that event the
fourth braa was added in
batan that God is good and God does good
he is good that the bodies did not
decompose he does good that we were Z to
give them a burial talk about seeing the
bright side of things I mean beta was a
massive tragedy a massive tragedy and
yet the saw even in bet they saw the of
Hashem in allowing the bodies to be
buried and that is the fourth braa of of
of B
which ends with the
words and that actually is the end
of that's why if you're benching on a
cup of wine you put down the Cup by
benching is over now the that we say
were added much later uh they are not in
the gamar at all uh in fact the Von even
maintained you don't say the har on
chabas because they are simply asking
God for things and you don't ask Hashem
for things on shabas uh in some yes in
Berlin I understand they don't even say
the
har during the
week now I'll tell you I I disagree with
this strongly their argument is Torah
you know we can't you know take time
away from learning by saying the now you
know it's interesting if the vagon were
to say that he didn't say the har during
the week I could hear that because the
Von measured his b Torah in terms of
minutes and
seconds but the Von said the hars during
the week it was only a special reason on
chabas El what uh are we so
meticulous in every single second of
Torah that no I can't stretch it out I
mean if you're going to cut things you
know cut activities down because of B
Torah you know you don't start with
benching uh and Kar you think of
something else that maybe you can you
can cut but still haran is not part of
per se and that is even why you're
allowed to talk not that you should talk
but you know you're not allowed to talk
until you finish benching in the har
already if necessary you are allowed to
talk so in reality therefore originally
had three
Bros and then it became foras now the
same way that we call the amid Shon
even though the amid has 19 bras not 18
but it once had 18 so it goes by that
title so the AL which is supposed to be
a summary of benching I'll show you how
that is is called May sh it resembles
the three blessings even though if you
want to be pedantically correct you
should call it may arba because the MS
is the had an extra line added when they
put in the fourth bra so in its original
form was May
sh it then became
may now which means in other words is
supposed to be a summary
of now I can show you this but also
you'll see some Curious omissions so we
say let's let's just do foros to keep it
simple we thank God for life sustaining
uh sustenance and the like so that
corresponds to H thanking God for food
now this then it
[Music]
says on the precious beautiful land that
corresponds
to and then it
says corresponds to and then we end it
with so that's the already and then
towards the towards the very end of it
we
say that corresponds
with right so
is it corresponds to now I just want to
point out there are some discontinuities
meaning there are some aspects
of that Al does not pick up and indeed
it's a very difficult question uh why
the gar in BR says that in the
in the
second that thanks for you are obligated
to mention two other things in
conjunction
with and T So thus what do we
say
right on the Covenant of bris
and on the Torah that you have taught us
and indeed say that in
the you must include bris and Torah
because it is only in the Merit of Brit
and the learning of Torah that Hashem
gave us the gift of er Israel now you'll
notice in the Alik interestingly enough
it does not mention Brit just says
um it neither mentions
bre nor does it mention
Torah leave that as a question I'm
actually not going to give you an answer
to that question because there's not not
really a good answer I mean the answer
they say is well Al doesn't pick up
everything so there's no real good
answer that I even know but still just
point out I just want to point out that
when it summarizes and encapsulates the
second braa in the phrase
it does not pick up in that formulation
the reference to and Torah Point number
one point number two in the third of
RA let's enumerate in benching I'm going
to benching now what are we asking
Hashem to have mercy on so let's
enumerate what's mentioned
ra have mercy on the Jewish people all
and on the on the city
of so
again it which today would mean
Masia so we have mercy for the Jewish
people Mercy for Yim
Mercy for
Mal Mercy for uh for the
bik four things now it is true there's a
certain repetition because it mentions
yam andon but without getting into the
repetition that's not a distinct
category either means b or and both of
them are mentioned separately so note
the Jewish
people
in
good
good okay good then it
says on your
altar and on your is the actual building
of the
temple so not two things here
number one there is no
reference to malus Bas
David
totally
omitted that's another C actually the
same way bris and Torah are omitted in
the in the encapsulation of bra number
two it is totally
eliminated in the
encapsulation of braa number
three that's one thing a second thing
which is a stylistic point
is that in
theik is referred to generically
as in the for some reason we're
subdividing it into two
components again remember the m just to
be sure people have the general picture
here the mbak was not
located in the actual Temple building
the mbak was located in the courtyard an
open air
Courtyard that in the Torah it's called
the that's with the mishan and uh in Kaz
actually actually in n as well it is
referred to as the
AAR so aara and
he are indeed two different
components of the temple complex the
Azara is the open courtyard where you
had the Big M that we brought
coros the heal is the actual building
which had the uh sorry that had the
incense manura the incense manura that's
a smaller I'm sorry the
incense the Mana the Shan and The KES
so
together is
the but why
in is it
simply and in the it is split
between again I'm not going to answer
that question either uh maybe a little
later when I come up when I come up with
an answer I'll I'll share it with you
but it's important to notice things in
other words a lot of times we just don't
notice uh how it's supposed to
correspond so again to summarize the the
questions uh in B the blessing over erel
includes bris and
Torah that does not appear in
Al number two in the blessing of
RA includes a petition
for that does not appear in Al
number three in the bikash generally is
just referred to as
the the Holy Temple in Al it is split
into
M
and okay but now here's another
problem uh
in there is I'm
sorry so our assumption is Al was
written by the an yeah yeah it's not uh
not mosha Yeshua or the like now here's
the thing in in there is something
called is the obligation of inserting
things based on the appropriate season
of the year so we have an insert for Al
for we have an insert for chabas which
is R we have an insert for fores and Y
including that is
y all of this is called
May and just as in there's an obligation
to have these appropriate inserts there
is a similar obligation
in to
be
may now Al also
has but here's the
problem
has for
shab
fores and for
y there is
no for
or right and that's a good that's a good
question if mik is supposed to
mimic why is there no
May one line just like shabas one line
for okay so that's really my excuse for
talking about this right after kanah and
that is why is there
no of for
and
now there's no
problem that has no anyway so there's no
question about that but is a problem CU
has now let's go back a little bit to
benching itself just to clarify some
things
uh does exist for but but you'll notice
of course it is in a different
place in other words for
shabes the paragraphs of R for chabas
and yalo for everything else uh is in
erted in the
third before you say is the end of the
third before you
say it's inserted in the
third for both and is not inserted in
the third bra it is inserted in the
second in the bra
for right before we
say we we
say that's why that's uh often very easy
to forget because the the insert is not
in the normal place where you insert
things now in
truth in Theon you also find that Alan
is not in the same place although in
benching right in the benching you first
have Al then
y uh in in daving if
it's would be earlier than but they are
inserted in different bras Y which is
thear
fores is in the of when you ask to
return his right which ends
with
Alim is in the BR of mod in the BR of
gratitude right so there too so both in
benching and
Inon the Alim insert is in a different
place
than thees or Y
insert insert let's say y has it own
but so here let's explain that first
then we'll go back to the alas I'm going
between Bening and Alam and all of these
things Hal and I'm sorry KHAK and puim
are defined
Hally as days of Hal V days of gratitude
and
thanks as a result Alim is always put in
the braa that focuses on
gratitude that is true
Inon and that is true in
B
Inon the Alan is in the bra that begins
with modem we give
thanks in
benching the alanm is inserted in the
the bra that begins with the word
no you know we give
thanks so always put the references to
khim in Bros that
begin with the theme of gratitude
because the essence of kanaka andm
are days of
gratitude now when it comes to yalo or
even r
we put it let's say in Bening we put it
in the BR that asks hem to have mercy
and rebuild the
bikash and that's because when we think
of number one the
sh we're thinking of Al and going to the
bik and even chabas shabas is
May chabas is a taste of the world to
come so therefore when we think about
chabas we think about mashia like that's
why in the
you'll
notice starts off with shabas and then
all of a sudden it moves to GAA to
mashia because it's like the potato chip
commercial uh bet you can't only have
one meaning once we taste the GAA we
yearn for the whole G and the like okay
so that's why we have this difference in
location but still but still we're still
back to the fundamental question why is
there
no
for
and in Al now you might want to give me
the following answer but it's not going
to be a good answer you might say h
maybe the only thing that gets picked up
in
Al are things that are so important in
benching that if you missed it you'd
have to bench
again but any
anything that if you missed it you
wouldn't have to bench again we don't
put into
Al now we know if I missed
R I got to bench
again if I missed yal
for I have to bench
again if I missed Al for
and I don't have to bench again so maybe
we don't pick up in Al things that if
you don't say it in benching you don't
have to repeat the benching that's a
logical answer but I'll tell you the
Kasha
ises it's true that if I skip
yal I have to bench
again but you know that if I skip y now
in I have to but in Bening if I skip y
ining ones I don't don't have to bench
again and yet it's still mentioned in Al
so the purported terrets the purported
answer that you might want to give that
since I don't have to repeat benching if
I miss Alim therefore it's not picked in
up picked up in Alik is not a good
answer because if that would be the case
we shouldn't mention roesh either in
Alik and we do mention roses in Alik Kan
and P should at least be the same ases
okay so we're back to square one why is
there no mention of Kan and in the of Al
okay put that on hold I want to engage
in yet another digression a little bit
uh about
yala I just told you that on roses if
you miss yalo in Bening you do not have
to repeat Bening okay that that's very
very clear when it comes to DAV what if
you miss Y in your Shimon in
your so then it depends for Shak
and you must repeat it for
arit you don't repeat it because the
sedra never Sanctified the new moon uh
at night okay so MV you get a
freebie so to speak but Shak and
you know you got to repeat it so now
let's let's raise some interesting brain
teaser
questions let's
imagine you it's one day roses like this
month One Day
roses so make up a day Wednesday
ises I missed I forgot
to now what is the general if a person
forgets to dve in well maybe that's too
broad of a statement if you were
negligent or careless you've lost lost
it you've lost the Mitzvah you can't
make it up but let's assume it was an
accident I fell asleep I I I whatever it
is I had an emergency so there is
a called
tashin that means you are given the next
prayer opportunity so if I missed Shak
with a good excuse I DAV in two Shimona
ESR of
Min the first is for min
and the second is a makeup for
shakas now my only opportunity is the
next mon in other words if I didn't make
it up if I didn't make up shakas at Min
time even if i d i don't get the chance
at my okay it's the next this is called
Tash okay this is a well-known idea this
is called Tash Lumen okay now the
question question is what if the time
that you're trying to make up the prayer
would be different than the one that you
missed let's say shabas right I said if
I missed Min during the
week I make up two mys well what if I
missed
shabas and now that it's Aris it's Mo
shabas so i d in two Mar two Shon that
is the first Shon is for
Mar the second is a makeup for the of
shabas so do I D in a
shabas
daving because it's a makeup for
shabas or do I DAV another weekday
daving so here the principle of tashlin
is very clear you always DAV based on
the in effect at the time you're making
it up meaning even though I'm making up
shabas
daving I don't d a
shabas i d a
weekday okay so if I miss
shabas i d in two weekday
arvit and vice versa if I missed Friday
afternoon I D two shabas amid the first
one to make up I'm sorry the first one
for AR the second one to make up for now
so let's apply this
toes let's
assume I missed
Min on
Roes so i d in two
Ms the first one is for
M the second one is for
Min do I say
yal in my second
make So based on the principles we just
said you would not say y okay so that's
again so that's very clear if I simply
missed ones and I'm making it up after
roses I don't say y the and the second
one okay so right so all of this is
clear all all of this is not disputed
but now we have a fascinating brain
teaser
question What if I
but I forgot to say
y now if it's still time during the day
I got I got a D again but let's assume
that I had an emergency and now it's
night now since I
wasn't I got to D in
two the first
for and the second to make up
for but you may question what's the
sense of a makeup under those
circumstances I
mean
without and now I'm gonna make it up
without
Y what does the makeup give
me more than I already have now again be
sure you understand the difference there
if I
miss then I do make it up without y that
that's not a question but if I did
without y
is there any logic in making it up
without
y so this is
Aus there are someon who take the
position that a prayer without Y is a
zero so it's the same as if you didn't
D so you have to DAV as a makeup so
you're not going to say y but you got to
make it up
others say well wait a second here if
the only problem is you didn't say
yala there is
no in having a makeup obligation which
will not
have other words the basic question is
conceptually do I look at a without y as
if it's nothing or no it is something
but I'm missing yo that I have to make
up right so this is clus so let me tell
you a story though from the
brisar that I think would prove one side
of this question although the story is
not about this question but it's a
related
question that is you know the
bris he was son the truth is R was the r
of brisk and R's father was the r of
brisk the V but the reason we
call the brisk R is that he was
tragically the last R of brisk before
the Holocaust so he was the the last RV
of brisk but as you know he uh
miraculously uh escaped the warto and
came to ER Israel and he was regarded by
many many many people as the god hador
um he died uh right as yum Kipper I
think 1960 right as yum Kipper right Co
nidre he was n Mish at the beginning and
the brisar lived of course in after the
war lived in Eric Israel Liv in Yim but
he spent a lot of time in Switzerland
apparently you know he had asthma and
apparently the climate in Switzerland
was good for him so he often went to
Switzerland uh he also had relatives
there uh for his health
so I'll tell you two stories one is that
uh there was a certain hotel that he
stayed at because the owners were very
fromen and he trusted the kosas he he
didn't trust too many
places uh and uh the woman who ran the
hotel was always asking what she could
do to him do for him could she bring him
this could bring you know he never he
never wanted anything one time he asked
her shabas afternoon can you bring me a
banana and an
apple so she was so excited she was Mish
Mish just like made her made her year
she she brought him a banana and apple
and when she brought him a banana and
apple uh he said oh thank you so much I
I really don't need it I I made a
mistake
so what was the the is
that a person is supposed to make 100
Bros every day by the way men and women
100 bras now the problem is on shabas
you have a shortfall because here's the
thing if you go through the 100 bras
without going through it every single
bra but if you d three times a day by
the way women may have a bigger problem
with that if they don't do it three
times a day but if you d three times a
day that already gives you 50 7 bras
because 19 * 3 is 57 so built into the
of mayos you get 57 just from
Shon shabas although you D in four
Shon I shouldn't
Callos but each braa only has seven I'm
sorry each amid only has seven bras so
instead of
57 you only have
28 so you have a lot of extra Bros that
you got to make up if
you're so this is why we eat so much
food on chabas uh because we want to
fulfill the 100 braas right you have to
have extra you know extra food extra
Bros that you make that's why you know
you'll notice before the they make all
sorts of and on this and on that on that
and part of it is theone of May right so
this is is that why they Ben before they
eat dessert and then they'll make the
bran dessert it would be connected to
that now that may not be a proper
practice because you're not supposed to
cause yeah but but yeah uh this is why
they do it they want to be Mar May uh
yum Kipper of course is even more of a
problem uh yes you have fiveon but even
with the even with you know you don't uh
you still uh are short uh a weak day has
more than even even Yumer now may is not
meaning to say it's not it's not that
you're committing a sin if you don't do
it but it is a very very proper practice
in other words it's described
as it's a Mitzvah it's not an absolute
obligation but still we should should
try try to do it all right so that's so
the brisar said the following since it
was chabas and I thought uh I was short
of the May
Bros so I wanted I needed two more Bros
so I figured I would make on the apple
and on the banana and that way I would
have two bras maybe he was three I have
a question on this because there is B
but let's put that aside for a moment so
I thought I needed two bras but that we
DAV
shabas and they have Tor at
chabas and I was given the alyah as a
Ley so I made the braa before the Torah
and the braa after the Torah that gave
me my two bras so I didn't need the
apple or the
banana okay this is the m of the brisar
that he it's reminiscent of story I if
the brisar would forgive me for
comparing what he did to story uh Aid
once asked a rebi he says what's the
difference between you and me he says uh
you take a banana you make Kama and you
eat it and I take a banana I make Kama
and I eat it what's the difference so
the rebi said I'll tell you the
difference he says you are hungry for
the banana you got to have a banana Eli
you're not allowed to eat without a braa
so you make the braa so you can eat the
banana he says I'm hungry for AA I'm
hungry I want to praise hasem but the
problem is you're not allowed to say AA
in vain I have to have a reason so I eat
the banana so I can make a braa as
opposed to you know I make a braa so I
can eat a banana that difference in that
eat to live live to eat right it's all
of that all of that connection so the
brisar only wanted the fruit so he could
make a to be okay so the second story
about this which is connected to the
question I just raised about
yalo was this one of the sons of the
brisar after shab
shabus uh was very unhappy so the bris
said like why are you why are you
unhappy it's chabas so he said I feel
bad because I daved M and I forgot to
say
yo now this is not a makeup for he would
d a again but I feel bad that I was
negligent that I was not conscientious
enough in
remembering so the brisar said so so the
story goes well listen there's a silver
lining to this and that is you got in
seven extra Bros towards your mayor Bros
calculation because you DAV without y
that gave you seven and now you're going
to DAV again with Y that'll give you
seven so instead of only having seven
bras from the you're going to have
14 now what I see from the story is this
if the brisar says that the
erroneous without yo still credits you
with seven Bros that means it's not a
zero now that would therefore mean again
it seems to me that if you didn't make
it up at Min and you had to do a myv
there would be no reason to do a myv
without yo because you already had an
amid see if you go with the idea that
it's a zero and that's why you have to
make it up in arit it wouldn't give you
credit for seven Bros the fact that it
gives you credit for seven Bros
indicates it is a valid and that
argument would therefore negate the need
so so if it's still day youd have
another but it would negate the idea of
making it up after so I think from the
brisar story we have a little H that you
would not dve in arv without a yal
without a yo because you already have a
Shon without a yo what's the point of of
making it of making it up okay so but
again uh it's been said many many times
that we don't really prove things from
stories because stories can be uh you
know you never know if a story is 100%
accurate um as rbby wine says um all
stories are true but some of them
haven't happened yet
so uh whatever so so again so I can't I
can't vouch for the story but but I
think based on this story though this
would indicate uh the conclusion that
you wouldn't make it up with with
Y okay all right all of this digression
we got to go back to the main question
which I guess I will address next week
uh but um I'll just say a few words
about it and that is why is there no
May uh in uh
in in okay so there is a beautiful hezar
from uh R salek the great Rim the brov's
father in which
Rim directs us to a different area of an
area that we don't explore that much and
that is there is in the mishna an
abbreviated Shon for people that are
pressed with time and this
abbreviated is
called and the way it works is
this um it's not as abbreviated as you
might have might have hoped you got to
say the first three Bros in full that
means
until you say the last
three that means
fromom
but the middle Bros which are asking
Hashem for
things instead of having all of these 13
Bros there's like one paragraph in which
each phrase corresponds to a braa so
it'll say give us understanding to do
chuva and forgive our sins right so
you're picking up each and it ends
with right that's the last BHA
and therefore
isos and a paragraph in the middle now
the truth is uh most people don't know I
mean I I don't know that paragraph by
heart I mean I mean basically uh you
know I I've never
d uh so for some people it's just easier
easier to do a
regular
than but is there as a Time
saer
now the great am not the but the of the
gor says havu is
great but you cannot say havu
Moab at the end of oh first of all you
can't say shab and that's for sure
anyway because it doesn't make sense
havu only takes the place of the
bakashot the request there are no bakash
shabas so shabas and for sure not
but says you don't
say even mo
shabas why is that MO chabas is regular
weekday so he says
because there's a special insert in
the which is asking to give us a good
week and you taught us how to separate
KES
and
since havu does not have any
language for theu
paragraph Shu says it's not
available because you don't have any
language so the gamar asks a very
logical
question so put it
in meaning the same way when I recite an
amida I put
in when I
recite I should put in I mean what are
you telling me since there's no language
I can't say
it put it
in this is the gamar the gamar asked the
question and the garr's answer is kasha
that's a good
Kasha meaning it's a it's a it's a it's
a
sayha now theim give us a very
interesting CL those who who those of
you who learn gumar know that sometimes
the gumar does have unanswered questions
but there are different terms that the
gumar
uses for unanswered
questions if the gamar simply has a
question and it doesn't know
the so that's a lesson of
te te actually means let the matter
stand some like to say it's an
abbreviation
the will
answer questions and problems although
that's a I mean Aramaic the word take
Aramaic means let the matter stand
that's the translation of the word but
some
Dar now that's when we don't know the we
have a question we don't know
the now other times the question is a
contradiction or a logical problem a
certain Rabbi said
something and it doesn't make
sense so sometimes the gar answers the
question of course but when it doesn't
answer the
question sometimes it uses the
word and sometimes it uses the word
Kush and those words are
used for the same things so why would
the gumar sometimes use the word t and
sometimes the word Kusha so theam
explained t means it's an irrefutable
difficulty meaning if somebody says
something and we have a t on him the
gamorra is concluding there is no answer
to that question he's just
wrong Kusha is a Remis it's
difficult but there are possible
answers and that is why the rim say
whenever the gamar concludes that
something is
a by definition the will never follow
that view because that view is said to
be
wrong when
however the the gamar describes a
certain view as a
kushia theoretically it might be
possible to follow that
view and R Points out in spite of the
fact that Shmo statement that you don't
recite because there's no language the
gar called that a
k the actually paskin
like we do not recite the prayer of
hav I what do you do with the gor's
question why not put in in other words
the gar there's an answer to this
question even though it's a forc answer
answer what what would the answer be so
rabenu
Yona rabenu Yona uh was the nephew of
the
ramban one of the great great gum he is
the author of sharich chuba the The
classic book on
repentance but he also wrote he was one
of the
gor that's why he's called R it's
interesting question why do sh get the
rabeno I mean
um you know uh rabu seems to be
something higher than Rabbi it's not
clear the ran is called RAB mosha R R I
don't I don't have a clear answer for
that but okay but we call him
RAB gives the following
answer
the is that every
phrase corresponds to a maybe next week
I'll try to bring in havu because we'll
continue this meaning
give us understanding corresponds
to to know your ways corresponds
to every phrase corresponds to
a so any insert in
the that is not
a
itself does not get into having in other
words if you were to just
say but there is no in the of it's only
part of an
existing so you can't make a phrase out
of
it because it is not
a you can only put
into
Bros you cannot put into additions to
Bros and that's why Mo shab it wouldn't
be to put
in because
is not
a and that is why we don't
say this is R's CL and his CLA is
thatu has to pick
up Bros meaning every
phrase Echoes and mirrors a
braa and therefore and that's why for
the same reason you can't
Sayes because y too is not a separate
bra right so you never say when there's
additions to the amid because you can't
incorporate it in the literary structure
of havu that picks up ra this is what
RAB says to answer the gamar
Kasha on the
Amira okay let me just see if maybe we
have to stop okay so so what is going to
do and I'll I'll elaborate on this next
week what raim is going to do is he's
going to apply a very similar reasoning
to Al as well Al picks up only those
things that are separate
bra Alan is not a separate bra but of
course at this point this is a very
partial answer because and Y are also
not separate bras right so we're going
to have to keep so I'm going to keep you
uh in
suspense for a week but just introduce
the idea that raim is going to use
Ru understanding
ofu and apply a similar understanding to
Al and the H okay so we'll see you next
week and have a good week
