Parshas Beshalach: Shabbos Shira - Don't Feed the Birds on Shabbos

this store class is brought to you by torahanytime.com uh we prepare for parashas the shalach and Shira interesting next week is the Shabbos of cabal Satora we don't call it Shabbos Kabal Satora or Shabbos Torah or Shabbos matantara and here this week is Shabbos Shira why shavashira you could call it uh there are a lot of topics in this week's podcast why don't you call it Shabbos Chris yamsov Shabbos Shabbos Shabbos this is when Shabbos was given Shabbos of Shabbos no shabashira well let's talk about an ancient custom and let's talk about whether in fact this is a good custom after all we know that not all custom lead to good places because you could always unscramble the word minhog and get him so you want to make sure that your Minogue doesn't bring you to a very hot place in fact Dominic that doesn't have base this is called the managura is the miniga fools and the worst thing you could be in Judaism is to be a fool even worse than a Russia is to be a fool you're better off being a wicked person than a fool because uh you know a brain that for sure God Gave You free choice is up to you so let's see says we don't place you don't put food before a bee with not before the pigeons of the dove cut and the pigeons of the attic not before a pig you are allowed to put food before geese and chickens and the pigeons of homes or likewise before a dog noise that they're dependent on you meaning the basically differentiates between animals that are dependent on you and animals and are not dependent on you if you have a pet you're allowed to feed it because the animal is dependent on you but a wild animal that eats food in the wild you may not feed it on Shabbos why it's considered a tirachas it's considered a bother that does not have a purpose the animal could go get food on its own it doesn't need you it says the mission of bura lifted meaning when it comes to bees and the doves of a the dove cut or of an addict even if they are yours and you typically feed them you may not feed them on Shabbos their food is not upon you describe they are common in the field the messiness Is frequent in the field it is a bother and it does not have AIDS okay so after so now the question is we're all familiar that there are people who have a custom they put out food on Shabba Shira so what do we call these people we call them uneducated that's what we call them again there are those who have accustomed to put out food before the birds and it's not correct you are not responsible for them they are their food is not upon you so you'll ask um there's another reason why we do it that way it doesn't matter why we do it you still can't violate for the Prairie to Aid all the bugs before the month that's right you haven't yeah okay so that's that's why you come to this year to learn the correct path in life and to rid yourself from all incorrect Notions that sorry that we have crept into the education system oh so let me tell you something about minigovic let me tell you something about that is I know is good when it's a legitimate Minogue however Rashi in this week's parisha says that Vanessa came to the arm and what did they do by you is says Rashi what does Rashi say in those words the trade other forefathers so now the question is what is Rashi adding over here it says we know what davening means this is one area that we don't need Rashi this is one place where Rashi could take a day off and rest a little bit this is the one puzzle we don't need Rashi what's Rashi saying says about tanura says she's criticizing the banay Israel and that is rashi's saying they really weren't happening belief shalim they really weren't happening genuinely you know what they were doing trappings from the earlier generation that have absolutely no meaning to them it's a criticism of the megasra so yeah minog is good if it's correct If it's incorrect then it needs to be thrown into the yam after yamt if not any we're going to get to that as well so you want to know are you allowed to do it you know how to do it you want to know why did your teacher tell you that hopefully she was a good lady in other areas but not in this one okay no I'm saying it tug and cheek I mean it that it's not um you know how to do it we'll see there might be reasons why maybe some people do do it but nevertheless that's the halacha okay uh let's see a little further um what about Tesla right are you allowed to feed um the fish by task many people have a custom that they throw they throw uh bread to the fish so as far as actually one year I went to do Tasha here in uh Flushing Meadows Park and I came um pretty late late in the game it was hashanaraba and I went down to the river and I saw a lot of fish in the river thousands of fish at least and they were all dead yeah there are a lot of others in this city what can I tell you you know and by the time I got there they uh I don't think there are any living fish left to kill but uh as far as I checked there's not the part of the program is not feeding the fish you say me you say that you give me this and you say the trila of the once we're on the topic we visited one of the godale benebra one of the mccubellum and benebrock his name is ravs Raya devilitsky so he's an old macabul in the bukharian area of benebraq he's uh he has a lot of haskamas on Swarm so anyway he has a safer on the you may shave of him and he brings out that alpi Kabbalah there's a considered a Cav and a human being and we know the image of him our time for a tick on in uh kadusha's habris Bristol to be masaki and if somebody was and he brings an idea that there's a connection between the bris ha Miss Mila and the British that uh speaking too much could also lead to a pagan the pagama pen the pagama bris are connected so he quotes what you know the long Fila the Fila of uh tashlech was written by you know really Tasha should take about 10 seconds right right and call it a day that whole world was written by you could check it out so now one of the things um but nowhere does it say you have to throw Birds to the fish so the mate Ephraim writes that if you want to throw Birds to the fish no problem we'll let you do it so it says if uh the first day of our sun comes out on channel and say there's that absolutely yes we have to be careful not to carry outside even if it comes out during the week is Rosh Hashanah comes out during the week you may not feed the fish yeah but my kid learned in school that you throw bread to the fish by Tesla so I'm not saying you have to remove the kid from the Yeshiva but you should send a letter to the to the to the school that they're teaching uh the children okay this is now to feed animals are not dependent on you on YouTube fine now why did the Macabre says if you have if you're allowed to feed a dog that's dependent on you what about a wild dog a lot of feet of wild dogs based on everything we learned it should come out you're not allowed to you are allowed to you are allowed to feed a wild dog safety you mean it's better to eat the food than to eat you what about them um so we have special uh okay we do but nevertheless you know how to feed a wild animal so the interesting spot out here that feel local even a dog that you don't raise mutter it's mother why dimit success there's even a little bit of a mixture to feed a wild dog say Hashem has Mercy on the dog the dogs don't have a lot to eat there's not that much dog has a very minimal food and because of that the food that they eat stay in their stomach for three days and therefore it's actually mutter to feed a stray dog and not only that it's a Mitzvah Tas now I would recommend trying to acquire real Mitzvahs like learning but if you're not able to do that and you want to get some it's a success then walk around the street and you could feed stray dogs even on Shabbos so here are the three levels of things you could do actually we're going to say now there are four levels of people one level of Sadiq and they sit they learn the next level people don't do mitzvos gum or they do a success they feed straight dogs then they're people who do nothing they twiddle their thumbs but at least they're not as bad as people who feed the birds on Shabba Shira who they're doing Ave rice so those are the four level of people okay also people who feed the fish during Tasha so you could be a mitso gum or success absolutely nothing with your life and people do so those are the four levels and then they're probably people who do much worse things but but that we're not going to discuss okay but the question is is there any legitimate basis for those who do feed the birds on Shabbos so there's a safer in Akron called the twice the Shabbos the toaster Shabba says like this he brings the mug in Abram don't put food before the birth on Shabbat Shira like those who are noyag why because they're not dependent on you ah so the question is what about the Minogue that people to put out the the food for the birds so he's sort of uh justifies it the F Shar could be the Cuban chinagu came to Shay Mitzvah that since there's a minute to do so for amitzvah pumayo there is like Karma common parlance that the Birds Sang Shira at the sea now we have no Makar for this doesn't say anywhere in Hazard that the Birds Sang Shira in fact you know you could make the case the birds did not sing Shira so how do we know the birds are not because it says Israel that's also it says that's mashma even embryos sangshira if even the bird sanctuary would have said even the Birds nevertheless people say it over it's like you know a common expression that the bird sang Shira so therefore since people are doing it for a Mitzvah and they're not doing it as a Turkish you don't have to be so concerned hey rice the custom of scattering fruits and the children gather and they put in baskets can really you know how to do this it's uh like a weekday activity to gather fruits in front of baskets but since they do it we're not so macbid so says that could be here the same thing this would be a way to justify this practice bottom line should you do it no of course not you should not do it but if you guys say you see somebody doing it should you throw Rotten Tomatoes at them no you shouldn't throw around tomatoes with them it could be there's some justification they could still get an Aliyah the next day it's not such a terrible thing should you do it no now that you know the halacha you should absolutely not do it but then so Candyman usually distribute candy to children and not to birds no no the case there is like they would throw it and then the people would gather it from the floor and like collect it like in the fields Oh you mean now they have to go around uh yeah are you allowed to do that I don't know look if it scatters everywhere and then the people have to gather it up okay what again why what yes the logic is like this why you know how to do it because it's a Terrace so say it could be that since people say whether they're right or not people say the bird sang Shira so they're feeding the birds for what they think is a Mitzvah it's not a turkey for no reason it's just a justification it's not a you're not saying halachically you should do it it's just a way to justify what people do yeah you could always put it up before Shabbos and that's not a problem right says there are those who complain is that the Minogue by Shabbos to throw wheat before the the birds variated how can you do it they're not dependent on you but says in my opinion no Minogue Israel is Torah I'm a nearly diminutive we're not bothering ourselves for them but rather for us foreign and therefore there's no problem and some say he quotes the toaster Shabbos that since our kavana is a shame Mitzvah it's motor now that's what now the question is it's here's a classic case of machelicus now this is the this is the justification now the truth is there are many good Islands can like even ramasha would follow the arkhasha Khan over the mishnabura I was told that many Godzilla in Europe followed over the mishnavura said recently that um one of the island that we visited on this past Friday we went to the wrath of Ezra's Taira Stern it was probably the most prolific author alive today he wrote 104's Forum up to date one of the song he wrote which is well known is the the safer on the dollar meaning with the pictures that's what he wrote he wrote um a number of very interesting environment he has a new biography on Robert Yosef so he brings Dan over there that uh River Valley for agunas on something called Trey Ruby that if you have two Rives then the woman could remarry and people asked for the value of what is even for naguna so avadia said what do you mean wasn't a place like he was riding on so he didn't have the oil of the pressure of helping people out but people are coming to me and I have the the all and the Yoke if the khazanus had the Yoke that I have he also would have been Mako and in fact as well that you look in the children's himself writes about those who have complaints against him that he's being too lenient he said of course you're mahmir because nobody's coming to you but if people would come to you and you would feel the Yoke that I feel then you would also be makeup and in fact was was also a rough and sometimes he finds kulas that are not in the mission however the mission bura is increasingly becoming the final word on halacha even though maybe a hundred years ago it was not the case was accepted the mission Brewer is becoming like the Posse said that whatever it says it's like it came out of the lishkas hagazas um and my guests will be in very short amount of time the mission of Brewer will be like the end of all for cloudy throughout the way the base came and the way the became so yes there is a legitimate uh justification but the mission Brewer says don't do it and in my humble opinion don't do it okay anyway okay yeah we're gonna get to that we'll get to all the stories uh maybe that's right we'll see in a minute then you have the reason of May or me parmeshlan what's the reason why what's the reason for the minute of feeding the birds says the this is born in the paradise you always say remember me paramuslan I'm at the time and shabashira because the Fisher it says the people went to look for the man on Shabbos and they couldn't find and they looked for the leftover man they couldn't find that implies they try to leave over and it got lost meaning Hashem said don't leave over man if you leave over man it's gonna rat so they were testing the waters and they left over they couldn't find it why why couldn't they find it where'd it go what happened to it said there wasn't any route to east of the medrisham who are the men who are looking and they spread outman they said man's gonna fall today meaning they wanted to demonstrate they wanted to prove that some wrong and they wanted to show that the man fell on Shabbos so they left over they left over from their calim and what did Hashem do but Hashem Hashem spoiled their plan and the birds aided does not withhold reward for any creatures and therefore we feed them and who else says this hug him rights that it's not correct look in the Tommy I'm in hug him actually brings another reason tallyman Hogan brings a reason and Claud Israel arnoyeg to to throw on shabashira food to the birds like the plastic says that we should know the Euro and sea hadai rice how we trust in Hashem wholeheartedly him he finds bread for them that the purpose of throwing the bread out is as a way of showing the world how we trusted in God that Hashem provided for us when we were in the mid bar and we know the member of nimshaw to a bird but now that was destroyed now in the basement stood we had a we had a jug of the saman and it was buried therefore the minogies on Shabba Shira and shabashira that it says the parisha of the man what do we do we throw food to the birds to show that Claudia saw that a nimshot to a bird should turn away from their work and they always say contaro mits us and if they do that Hashem will provide Messiah nice without excessive amelos and the man will come lamala just like these birds who they're not doing anything and we're feeding them in other words this minute this reasoning of the tame him and hagam is this week's pasta is a partial of the month The Man shows that it's not excessive hashtados that brings a person paranasa but rather it's and by throwing the food to the birds Claudius throws nimshall to the birds it's demonstrating that if we have beta Hashem Hashem will give us food without excessive effort moreover I always say these are all very nice reasons speaking you can't do it but if you want to know what about the people that do do it yeah you still have about me listen Mike but on this topic of the the reasoning of the birds excuse me the reasoning of throwing food to the birds in memory of the man so it's a very interesting idea that at the end of Hashem take a jug and put it away for safekeeping and in the times of the base of mikdash they kept a jug of the man and um the time came when Jeremiah Navi rebuked the Venezuela how come you guys are not learning and they said well we got to make a living so Yumi anovi took out the jug of the mun and he said check this out Hashem has many ways to provide for you without excessive histadless is needed but doing more histados will not get a person more paranasa says Rashi take a look at rashi rashi says laguniza for all generations in the times of year when near me why are you not involved in learning they will say no we should forsake batas he took out for them the jug of the man um he told them see the word of God doesn't say listen see because this is how your forefathers were supported God has many Messengers to prepare food for those who fear Him now we know that bismaraza we do not have the jug of the man yes there are many things in Earth Israel that um they try to uh sell to tourists you know you could see Lot's wife you know the pillar of salt there are a lot of things that uh maybe still exist one thing that we know does not exist is the jug of the man if only we'd have what yeah we could we could do we could work something out I'll talk to you privately after but the chocolate says one of the things that it's good to say is the Pashto Salman why is it good to say the parisha of the man maybe for this before no every day nothing special about this week every day says a person she believes to come is that all of one's food come with like it says by the man like that extra establus does not help at all anyone who says the parashah of the man it's mufta that his will not be diminished that doesn't just mean to say it it means to understand the limit of the man that now president and one of the hardest questions in life is what is the definition of what constitutes let's say I worked for three minutes a day is that histadlos probably not is nine to five so if you work nine to six you won't make a penny more how could you say that what do you mean I'm getting paid by the hour I'm making more money right now no no no no you may be losing more than you may no but here the point is you're not gonna make what you're saying you're not going to make more you're not gonna make more money yeah you get that's where the city comes in right so fine one more Dua in the safer it says why did Hashem bury why did have it that we lost the jug of the month why don't we have it anymore don't we need it wouldn't be great imagine if you know if some Santa could walk around from shoulder so hey hey guys check this out you don't need to work so much the Hashem took care of them that would be why don't we have it on him don't people say and we're always taking time we're gonna be in Spanish the answer is that when cloudy Israel we're in erits Israel and every man had his Vineyard and his fig tree if um each person was Yoshi Allah planting plowing harvesting then it's easy to make the mistake what do you mean what do you mean my histalis doesn't help when I plant and I plow then I reap so back then back in the day when there was an Agricultural Society the lesson of the month was even more important people should have enough sense to see that Parana says that it's almost impossible for a person to claim that my efforts are what's making me money it's not it's not an Agricultural Society I'm not tilling with my hands it's a muzzle it's uh almost I have a job and uh somebody works in the market or in business person has to have should have enough Seiko not to need this incentives to realize that the bracha comes it's almost impossible in a reasonable way for a person to think that if I take off time to learn I'm going to lose my parnassa therefore bismar Nazar we don't need this insanasaman we should have enough common sense and enough to realize even without someone that if we dedicate ourselves in our free time for Eliminator Harvey to provide for us so these are some of the limudium of the throwing the food to the birds which is done before Shabbos and this way on Shabbos we could first of all remember the halacha that you're now to throw down Shabbos and for those who do throw it on Shabbos it's only because they haven't yet heard this year and uh to learn the lesson of the man and realize that in Uma and also tell our friends about this year so they also should not throw food to the birds on Shabbos what do you mean again I didn't say the first time you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
