mentioned enough lighting. That's what keep me in. Oh, that's where >> that's what causes that >> chicken. I'll take I'll take a piece of chicken. Yeah. >> Okay. Um, >> two pieces. >> Let me know when you're ready. >> One minute. I almost settled down. I'm ready. But >> what say? water. >> You want to give me some of the chicken nuggets? >> I was just trying to emphasize that again lack of time. >> It was It was in the wall. >> Okay. So, then what was telling these people? >> That's what he's talking so definition to be alive. This is perfect. That's >> where that's what you're saying. Lenny, how are you? >> Oh, yeah. I got one. Okay, whatever. >> Oh, whatever the rabbi wants. We're going to do >> Oh, man. Start already. >> I'm ready. Whatever. >> Okay. Fine. You want to hit record, please? >> Get it. >> Okay. I ask I stood up. I stood up to you. >> There's a common phrase common sense is not so common. It's not a Heather that you didn't know. It's not a Heather. It's not a terror. Sometimes a person is responsible for common sense and we'll explain we'll begin with this week's para rashi brings it's a gammorra and it's a madish that the do even though there was a lot of averis the reason why the marble came is because of the because of gaos [Music] the question is asked the question why would they on gazel gazel is one of the are also mitsva but this only came later in other words they were mitsuva yet on gazel so why were they nan the whole marble came because of gazel they never were mitsuva on gazel >> they made it into like a mitzvah That's okay. >> You turn something that's wrong. Then we're going to go to >> mitzvah. >> Okay. So, they made up a mitzvah. Bam. They they were over on Gazel. Whoever said you did somebody say to steal someone say can't kill. >> Oh, very good. Very good. No, no, no. We we didn't have yet the get to that brings that as well. says that there are the way his he says that there are mitzvah that a person is to do because it's common sense the should have not been over and steal because it's common sense you can't steal says the exactly like you just said in last week's para paras and killed and he was nash Why was he said anywhere the kill? Doesn't say any to kill. The ter says it's something that it's expected of a person even without you know steal you're not kill later after the marble later came to so there was no there's no to kill and still they were >> n explains why explains many worse things >> and then still get >> the whole dur did so many so much worse the gazel >> yeah so so that's that's a separate discussion what gazel is over the other ais but alapan was gazel >> no they made gaz one still common answers that question as well because it's common sense >> no no >> oh as opposed to the other he's saying very good why over the other >> steals less travel >> very good very good >> someone steals less travel than he used is. So they made sure to do only this or only >> to avoid to get around it. >> Good. Very good. Very good. >> Which means they did have common sense. They knew the so smart that they said >> and they outsmarted the common sense. Yeah. >> Good. Good. Good. So what do we have so far? We have over here that the of the marble came because a person is responsible for common sense. Even though the never said you're not allowed to steal, it's common sense >> and they obviously had it involves the Mishna in the beginning of a says money is not kina only mash. If you buy something, you give the guy money but you didn't make a mash yet. So you weren't kina and therefore the person could back out. The person could back out. If you're not, you could back out. But says the for somebody that's not we'll see in a second the explains what the is. But it's not just the Indian. this and says how what does it what's gives a that paid that was to people for the m should be managed to people that are says that he heard he heard from the that explained I mean there's a lot of throughout the throughout these a lot of the didn't just give by the why is it explains theim the reason why was because they should have known. They should have known it's not the right thing. It's just not the right thing. It's not right what they did what they did. The same is also if you gave money, you paid for it, you weren't yet. It's not the right thing. So is just like a by the he didn't do the right thing. It didn't say you're not allowed to do it. The same thing is also and if you back out, you're allowed to back out. It doesn't say anyway to back out. It's just not the right thing. It's not the right thing to do. But that a person has to use common sense. Even if it's not a in the Torah, sometimes you hear a person say it's it's where does it say that it's you now want to do it. you know how to do it because in common sense I'm going to bring a couple of examples to see this idea but before bringing some practical examples I first want to bring from the one of the brings two examples of this concept that even though there was no you weren't told clearly you should have known you should have known these two places in the Tory Moherenu by Moanu says the he got annoyed. He got angry at the army. Why they did not kill the ladies? said, "Why did you keep the women alive?" So the sh is when did ever tell them that they should also killed in a cave. So why says the common sense? They should have known the whole Midion the whole story came the the the came because of the the ladies of Midion. Therefore they should have known that they have to kill them out. The same thing says byum by the story was at the hair and the then he pushed to the wall and then and he he was hitting the told the said what do you want from me? Yeah. The donkey. Thank you. a donkey. And the says the malik the before the malik said of why why the malik asked him why did he hit the donkey three times. So the question is why didn't bum say why didn't bum say the reason why I didn't I hit the donkey is cuz I didn't know the donkey was walking. He went into the walls. I hit him. So you shouldn't bother. The reason he didn't know why why didn't Dylam just say I don't know. He didn't know. The Malik was the Malik said why did you hit the donkey three times? Bum could have said I didn't know. Says the same for him the same thing. The reason why Bum couldn't answer I didn't know because he should have known. Bum knew that when he's going now to curse Clus it might not be the right thing. Bam should have understood that if the assim is giving him trouble, the donkey is giving him trouble for him to get to where he's supposed to go, he should have picked up common sense. He should have understood that it's not the right thing that he's doing. >> His common sense is he should have known there's a mal in the way. >> Not a mal his No, his common sense is should have been is wait a second. Something's wrong over here. Something is wrong. Exactly. He never never happened such a thing. Something's wrong. He should have picked up. You know what? This probably is a is a message to come to tell me don't go cuz this is not what Hashem wants. I started telling my father what I'm going to speak about tonight. So he brought he gave another maramakum in pari by misal give different reasons why they died >> right they went to one of the reasons rashi brings from kazal is because they went and they drank drunk >> right >> so the question is the raan asks this question the parish of yay not to not to drink and go to the B mikdash was actually later was actually later on why were they for going because they drank >> it's only it's it's a later so actually himself gives a different answer I'm going to leave it out for now it's not going >> he doesn't say that doesn't say that it's interesting but the has a different shot I'm going to leave it out for now But says the very good common sense says the clea I'm just gonna quote the words of the should have known common sense you don't come to the you don't go to the king's palace yeah something common sense of course of but even The Tory never said to go to the base of you should have known these are the brings a story and the garra speaks about the garra says that there was somebody that was jealous and wanted his boss's wife you Tamara and Damara says a whole story what he did, how to pull it off. He made his boss divorce his wife. A whole story and he married her. I want to quote the Lion Hayitz that speaks about it. Technically, he didn't do anything wrong. If you look at the law, the book, his boss divorced his wife. He So, he married her. What's What's it What did he do? He didn't m What's the problem? >> Divorced. Yeah. Manipulated. Yeah. Yeah. >> What' you say? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Yeah. >> It's not for sure. >> It's not Yash for sure. But but even without marrying the wife. Very good. Very good. But says the It's clear. There are that are there are that are not clear. They're not spelled out. They're not written anywhere. And he says it's not and it's disgusted in the eyes of the more than in other words like we said before technically he manipulated but this is also along the lines a person has to use in certain cases common sense we're going to come get to some examples but a person the marble came from gazel even though they were not gazel common sense you can't steal In the para of Zoim, people say Adis and then they said Adis. One cat says Adis that Ruven killed Chim. They were god. They were going to go means it was already the to go ahead and kill Ruven because he killed Sheman. came another group of them, a second group and they said to on the first group. So the Rambam says a very big the Rambam says that even if the first Adam did not have which means they were aig what does it mean aig? The first Adam that came to say Adidas that Ruven killed Chim they're saying we never knew that if there's going to be we're going to get killed. We never knew we're aigim that aid them they get killed you. Yeah. What's the says and over there? The same. It's such a terrible thing to get up and say even if the toyra never ever said such a thing they deserve the of of say the same idea that a person has to understand on his own common sense it's terrible for two people to get up and say that Ruven killed Shim and it never happened so Even they never knew that if there's going to be another cat of Adam, they're going to get killed. They still get killed. Why? Cuz they should have known. They should have known. >> Ignorance is going to make you above the law. >> Even even in the law, you can't say you didn't know. You have to know the law. But here here it's not about that. You can't say you didn't know. You have to know. But he was saying sometimes you have to know what's right and wrong. Even if it's not in the Torah, even if it's not in just to bring out such a concept, the SE has a very long chuva in regard to abortion. He he says that in England then at the time if they picked up that the the the fetus the baby before was born was sick that it's not going to be healthy you have to do abortion. So he speaks about it from a doctor that asked them the first 40 days. It's a very long cha we're not even going to but what he does he says but that's for sure that if there's a 40 days there's no question about it that's for sure you could call out to save this Uber that's less than 40 days even though Uber less than 40 days maybe to make an abortion of Of course you can shabas I when you're being to save the baby's life. Thank you. Yes. Even though when someone's being shabas he's being on is >> to save this baby that you may even allow to do abortion the first 40 days. The terrorist says it's common sense a you could do it. You could do it. But I want to one more example. One more example. this I'm going to conclude this is of kabetski says like this what happens if you have a sick person that the only thing it can eat is either bosera >> no eat bosa or boseram to Eat >> cannibalism. >> Yeah. Cann cannibal cannibalism. >> Yeah. Cannibalism or to eat flesh from a person. So he says if you take it apart the is no is even to eat flesh from a person and even theam that says that he's only an is so maybe a person's going to say they have to that you should rather eat boseram flesh from a person over an avail because eating boss and aa is a have. So he says of course there's no have a minute like that. No havan like that. This is also this is even to extend you have to use common sense even even we're not talking about the killer person. I'm talking about >> it's the bike just in a >> he quotes he quotes and I looked it up afterwards in the early 70s he was a story with a plane crash that movie >> anyways. Yeah, they had to they had to >> the the plane crashed and there was a few survivors and eventually all the pro everyone could you could read you could look up but the bottom line is is after a few days they ran out of food all the food from the plane and all the snacks and all the soda and and it was freezing cold. there's no other food and in the end they had to eat the people from the the people that died and it was a whole tol in the world eating you know but the concept you see over here says of this idea that these but a person has to understand to live his life with common sense sometimes it's not clear what the right thing is to do a person has to ask what it's not that's what these You have to ask but alapon a person has to understand he's a concept of common sense and a person's responsible to use as common sense moenu got annoyed at the at the soldiers that didn't kill the ladies the mal had a t on bum for why he's hitting the donkey even though he didn't know he should have known the vav should have known that the know that go in to the Bah when they drank and that's para the the the marble the of the marble came because they should have known they now to do gle to take this lesson in our daily lives have a wonderful shabas >> every Thursday night different speaker you come in come in here eating might open up my mouth. >> Might as well open up my mouth. >> Absolutely. >> An umbrella. >> Might as well do three uh probably common sense. That's a stretch. But to have an answer or a dick, a headline, common sense, and then you got to figure out where it plugs into >> I didn't say that. If I'm common sense and I did it through murder, I did it through stealing or I did through something else, then each one of those becomes my law. >> So So really I'm not Ira common sense. I'm each individual. My
