Parshas Parah: COW-FIX

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay welcome everyone so uh the night after purim we made it here tonight we have very uh interesting material a really fascinating subject um something we've discussed in the past but in-based samaritan and that is we're going to speak about one of the tenets of judaism one of the most basic principles in judaism something that every jew has to believe with full faith i'm even surprised it's not one of the animans and that is you know if i would write a 14th animal that's like you know from the time you're young we're all taught that vashti to come display herself in everything nothing except for the royal crown and the gemara tells us two opinions what happened to vashtivashi didn't want to come out the gemara brings two deoise is a very promiscuous woman she was a luid woman in fact the gemara says both and vashti their kavanaugh was for gilearis that's why they made the party so if so why didn't vashti come why didn't vashti come to the party so gemara brings two opinions the first opinion is um she got saras she became a leper a leaper and then the gemara brings the brysa come gavriel came and he made vashti grow a tail and you could just imagine you know she's getting ready to go to the party she's putting getting herself together and as she's about to step out the door all of a sudden she hears this noise coming from behind her something slithering she thinks it's a snake she it looks like a snake no it's actually emanating from her her goof there's a tail coming out of vasti that is what ghazal tell us vashti guru tell but then there's this really disturbing reviews and i bishops and rabianis says that vashti didn't really grow a tail gazelle don't mean that she actually grew a tail because if you look in the gemara over there [Music] right now if you want to know where i'm at it's in a footnote on page two and uh on page uh ray should aleph in your booklet the gemara tells us that when aksharaj didn't know what to do so he consulted with the the sages who knew how to make in ibryar who knew how to make an ibra month and they basically had a great dilemma they said to themselves if we're going to tell achashverse to kill his wife then tomorrow he's going to sober up and he's going to blame us for killing his wife and if we tell him you know leave her be it's a zilzo to the king she disgraced him were trying to sort of wiggle their way out of it so the simple shot in the gemara is they said to akhas they have reasoning they have logical thinking they they're people of intellect they're able to analyze the situation very clearly the gemara says that the sent word that from the day the temple was destroyed council advice has been taken away from us sages and we do not we cannot judge and adjudicate capital cases go to aman and have been sitting in their national country for many generations like wine that's sitting on its sediment and therefore ahmadinejad has tam they have reasoning they have logic they're able to advise so the simply they deferred they did not want to advise ah it was basically a lose-lose situation they had nothing to gain by advising either way however review says that there's a deeper explanation over here what the heck were saying go to ahmad and they were saying as follows we know that and according to torah law you cannot marry a man a man from ahmad and the reason he can't marry them is because they did not have the character trait of hospitality when we were traveling through their land they did not come out to greet us with bread and with water so gemara asked in that case the women should also be prohibited because they also didn't come out to greet us with bread and water sigmar says no it's not snios for a woman to come out into the public and bring bread to claudiuso traveling through the uh midbar traveling through their land sega mars is fine so the men the ammonite and the moabite men should bring to the ammonite and moabite men and let the moabite women and ammonite women bring to the women what's wrong what could possibly not beats neo-stick with women serving food to women and the gemara says even that is not modest even that is not snastic why call basmal panima that even for a woman to be involved with other women in a public forum even that is a lack of modesty and ultimately that is why we're allowed to marry from amana maya because we have no accusations against them that they didn't bring bread and water to the jewish women so what they were hinting to was you want your wife to come out wearing a royal crown and nothing else don't you know that we don't expect women to behave that way the ammonite and the moabite women are mutual to marry into claudia's soil because we can ask them we can't have a tiny on them they should have brought water and and bread to us that's not the proper manner of a woman so they were hinting takashveros let the lady off the hook it's not proper for a woman to display herself like that furthermore be honest and ibishop says that and moyove were actually never exiled from their land and the reason is because their women were so modest and they didn't come out to bring water and bread to cloud israel and instead instead when uh bilaam needed women to be masano with claudius royal the ammonite women didn't want to do it the moabite women didn't want to do it and they had to hire women from midyoung so basically what they were getting at was don't tell your wife to display yourself this way realize the repercussions of proper tsneos those who are sanua they will not be destroyed they will not be exiled you should have known better don't blame the lady says i bishops and what does it mean gabriel made a tale ah it doesn't mean he made a tale it means as follows says we know there is in the gemara how did god create adam and eve did god create adam and he took he took a rib out of adam and made khabar that's one opinion that's called sella rib god took a spare rib that's why it's called spare ribs spare rib of adam and he created or says the gemara maybe god created siamese twins they were basically connected by the back he had a man facing mizrah woman facing marav and are made for a lot of shalom bias they can never even see each other and then they never had a face-to-face conversation and then god took them and he split them that's the mahoikas in the gemara in brachaise the manda omar the man the umar that there were two faces is called parts of the amanda umar that god took the rib rib is called zanov now listen carefully the gemara asks why are women supposed to beat sanua why don't we say men are supposed to be sanua why is it within the nature of a woman to be modest says igamar because a woman was created from sanua namely the rib a hidden mecha place that now says urbanus and abisha that's only true in manda omar that hashem created khaba from the rib according to the mandamma they created adam and have a parts of him then there's no indian for a woman to be more sanua than a man what is the code word for rib zone of ah says it's when the gemara says gabriel made a tale doesn't mean vashti grew a tale tale is a code word for rib what it means is gabriel engendered and this rashanta the meadows rib represents me tell zanov represents the tzela so what gabriel did was he asked about zanov he engendered sneos in vashti the woman was never tsunu in her entire life she never did anything modest in her life and the mala came and smacked her and said you know get a grip of yourself you got to beat sanua now you can't come out now and that's what it means she grew a towel okay but to me this would be unusual you know it's a very demoralizing uh ruby on a sniper because that means that vashti never really had a tail and you know it's like one of the principles of jewish faith that van she had a tale and here we're learning she didn't really had a tail she was just uh modest she just had the meda of sneeze engendered within her so what we're going to try to do tonight and if you say i heard some of this before in bay sameer we're going to try to do tonight is explain how in fact even if gabriel did not give vashti a tell the end of the day barak hashem vashti will have a tale we're going to call this the true tale of vashti's tale so here we go i want to tell you a story the story is brought down in the besikta abbasi and the story goes as follows you know the megillah ends and that's the last thing we hear about that he taxes the people what did he do after that we don't know how he dealt with pandemics in persia we don't know how he dealt with viruses and persona we don't know anything more about as far as we know after taxes the people and the story ends happily ever after but comes the sikhta and we're given the rest of the story says there was a story about a jew who had a cow no but he owned a cow okay you know in america there's a man who had a cow he owned a cow moo right the cow said moo we're going to call the cow elsie just for convenience sake the jew became poor he had to sell the cow to a gentile the gentile bought the cow the gentile works the cow on sunday on monday on tuesday on wednesday this is an amazing cow it's a fully loaded cow every day the cow works and the cow says moo like you expect the cow to do it's friday the cow is working comes era of shabbos and the cow doesn't budge the cow doesn't move the cow doesn't plow the guy takes his bat bangs elsie on the head nothing happens elsie doesn't budge he takes his aluminum bat he snags her on the head elsie doesn't budge he takes the club with thorns in it elsie doesn't budge he goes to the jew he said you sold me a lemon what's going on over here i need a cow that works the juice says let me have a word with elsie he goes over to elsie he lifts up elsie's ear says the sikda he says elsie get a grip of yourself you're not shy meshabas you only kept shabbos so long as you were my cow but this guy is a gentile he doesn't have to keep shops you need to work for him all of a sudden elsie starts plowing working very industrious cat elsie is back to herself the guy says take your cow get out of here i don't know what you're you must be some magician some kind of a sorcerer get out of here what did you tell the cow the guy says so the yid says look i told the cow that she only had to keep shabbos when she worked for me but now that she's working for you she doesn't have to keep shabbos says the i can't believe it the guy was was overcome with such years shamayim he says if a cow that can't talk and has no das could be makyar the creator of the universe me who i'm created in the image of hashem of akama the guy ran away and he converted good story huh by the way comes the safer seder haddo royce i'm going to say it a little different than you have in the book over here it comes to say there had a royce rabbi kill halperin it's a historical work and it's such an important work the hida wrote footnotes who is this cow not telling you yet and who is the guy who converted well the medarish concludes the matter says you know who this became this guy became rabbi kenon bentay rasa the biohanan the son of the acts and until today until today our rabbis say halachus in his name so the guy started out as a guy he had a shear from elsie elsie was matahira the guy elsie purified the guy elsie inspired the guy and this guy became ravioli rasa fine says the seduce who was this guy this guy was the reincarnate was the gilgal of none other than the guy was ah came back for round two why to come back to this world we could say based on one of our classic shirim that since at the end of the megillah he's the one who fundraised for the second they saw mikdash so he has a very big square so the bansham is giving him another chance this guy reincarnated was nascar girl as akash virosh this is and he comes back to this world and who is he rasa so i was very intrigued by this that here it is we have this guy akheros who in the megillah is nothing but a complete shaita he's a melech pessi he's what we call malacha you know he vacillates he can't make up his mind one day he's a democrat the next day he's republican one day he's a liberal the next day is conservative one day he likes haman the next day haman is hanged one day he likes vashti the next day vashti is dead the guy can't make up his mind and all of a sudden he has a tikkun and he's doula and who does he become he becomes a tana he's a tana and we learn torah from him so i did an investigation i did some research how many halakhas do we have in kalata arakula from rabbi and tairasa because that would be that would be very interesting right what did we what do we learn from akhispheros now here's the real clincher says the madrish isn't it strange you have a guy that means his whole life who knows how he lived he lived a low life he lived perhaps a debased life and who is makari of the guy a cow isn't that amazing that a cow could bring you closer to hashem is that possible that you could have somebody who's far from hashem and a cow brings them closer hashem says the madrish don't sweat it it's not it's not difficult you know how the cow brought him close to hashem every year cows bring us closer to hashem what's the proof zois so just like the para duma could bring us closer to hashem the cow could bring us could bring this guy closer to hashem so it's so interesting that the proof that somebody could be nascar if takado so it comes out very beautiful then the aftermath of purim where here we think achashverosh you know he's lost forever he has no tick on he has no redeeming quality he goes down in history as a melaka no the end of the story is he was niskari valued a para that's the end of the purim story so what's the first shabbos after purim harsha's para that's fascist para that's the logical connection the logical continuation of purim just like he's down in the dumps but he was nisala la gadoula ali daya cow and the matter she even says could somebody come close to them through a cow that means the continuation of purim is pasha's para that's why pasha's para is the continuation of purim that's why this week we're going to lay in pasha's part comes of moshe wolfson in the safer and he says if that's not enough the remes is as follows what are the opening words of parishes para zois zois gematria 9 16 the same gomachia as hamelach so here it is we think that para parches para is somehow the prelude to pesach the preparation of pesach and it is but it's also the grand finale of purim here you have he's out of the picture you think he's uh and he's buried and that's the end of him no ah becomes a great tana on purim everyone has a tick on bineban of shalham online becomes everybody has a happy ending don't give away all the secrets okay so let's continue you're lucky i like you otherwise i wouldn't let you come back okay so i was very intrigued by this idea that acha so i searched and i searched and i searched what did rabia meant tehrasa say in the torah he said three halakhais in kalatarakula there's something called mishkan shillai mishkan shiloh stood for how many years 369 years and then it was destroyed why was mishkan shiloh destroyed says why was sheila destroyed madness shiloh had two things they committed two of heroics number one gilead rayos number two bizarre and cosim number one they they committed illicit relations and number two they disgraced sacrificial items you think it's a coincidence that who's the bala memra that shiloh was destroyed because of gilearis and bisayan kochem this is akhishmerosh talking what were the sins of akheros what did akhitaris do wearing calvin klein uh you know dinner garb aziz was wearing big day kahuna what kind of bizarre and coach him sacrifices to average were killian bison coach him sacrifice comes back and he's misaki net by teaching why was she like destroyed because of gilearayas and bisayan kochem number two the second teaching of raviyakram anterasa there was a mashiach a potential mashiach called rabbi said when the passage says darach akiva was the armor bearer of baraka ikhla rabbi kiba says bharakoikwa darak of mayakov it's ben koizeva barakoi was he says akiva i want to have a word with you grass should grow on your tongue grass will grow on your tongue before this man is mashiach so think about it came who told rabbi he was wrong that mashiach didn't come back excuse me interesting review was the one who told rabbi akiva that mashiach was not here why rabbi akram in terrasa why was he the one who did this very parashat the other hated kumar says that one of the reasons that akhash first had his party is because he calculated that the 70 years that were supposed to be up the navy are predicted that in 70 years the jewish people will return to shalom and rebuild are predicted and then 70 years the temple would be rebuilt and ah made a calculation he knew the shvara belshatsa made a calculation and messed up i remember the story the handwriting was on the wall belshazzar was killed that night when he rejoiced that the 70 years were up but sure said hey my the shepherd made a mistake i'm going to get it right and the shots are says let's bring out excuse me says let's take out the caleb of the besan miktas and akash pharos celebrated that when jeremiah said the temple would be rebuilt no it will never be rebuilt so the third sin of akhashvirosh the second sin of our church excuse me was that he said meshiach will never come wrongfully so how is he going to be misaki in that the way he's massacring that is when there's a false mashiach and rabbi akiva thinks it's a true mashiach is going to be the one to set the record straight and say no you think this guy is mashiach grass will grow on your palate grass will grow on your tongue before this guy is mashiach so it's amazing how every halacha the rabbi aquila and bente rasa said is mamish kneged the height of atherosclerosis sri shiloi was destroyed because of gilearayus bisayan kochem what was the other deficiency of akhesverush sogumar says he was a melech he was a wishy-washy king you know they came out now with a new book on the altar of the vardik it's it's not so well known that in europe before the war the biggest yeshiva network in the world was navardek now people see today you know yeshiva lakewood in europe there were literally hundreds of nevada yeshivas all over europe and this was all headed by the altar in the verdict so in the verdict one of their big this was was or is that the worst thing in the world is to be wishy-washy you know that they say nowadays there's no winter anymore right i don't know when i was a kid it used to get to zero degrees used to get to 105 degrees now somehow everything in life is homogenized yeah it doesn't get lower than 25 it doesn't get higher than 90 you know everything is watered down you know when i was a kid when people were davin people would be yo ray de mois people be wailing people be crying people were banging you know when people did things they did it nowadays everything is watered down nothing nothing is done with the full force that's uh that's like uh nevada was anti-wishy-washy if you're gonna be a russia be a real russia don't be a watered down russia you'll be at sadiq be a real sadiq you can damage my esre you know are your emotions on your sleeves you know they say over that rifga was having a difficulty rifka didn't know what the nature of her child was when she was passing by a house of yeshiva the kid was jumping to get out when she was passing by a church the kid was uh jumping to get out so she doesn't know what kind of kid is this going to be so she goes to the basement of shane baiber so what does shame what is what does the base matters tell her don't worry schneider you're going to have a yaakov you're going to have a goddamn hadar you're going to have a manager you're going to have its and he's going to want to go to the yeshiva and you're going to have a hitler you're going to have a stalin you're going to have a russian merusha like asap i don't get it rifko was very tormented she didn't know what kind of kid she's going to have so how exactly did this message of shame the ever say don't worry you're going to have a yaakov and you have a hitler and everything will be great how exactly did that come rift go down so in the viaduct they say like this rivka thought she was going to have one kid what kind of kid a wishy-washy kid when his friends say go to yeshiva he goes to yeshiva when his friends say go to a bad place he goes to a bad place a child like that somebody like that will never amount to anything somebody who's always swayed by public opinion someone who doesn't have a backbone well nothing will become of them but then rifka heard great news you're going to have one kid who's going to be at sadiq nifla and one kid who's going to be the world's greatest russia rifka says there's hope for both of them they both could be uh great one day but someone who's wishiwashi that's uh that will never amount to anything okay so that's akhishvash's problem he's a melech what is the third teaching in in the uh of rabbi kram and tyrasa a very interesting mattress take a look on your sheets it's on page ratio the matter says as follows the matter says the third teaching of rabbi akhman te rasa is a matter since rabbi rabbi and tairasa was once asked by rabbi akiba to say advantara now i'll tell you a little story you ever go to a shava brachas and the guy gets up to speak and he says you know i didn't really prepare pal if you didn't prepare this drausha sit down immediately and i don't want to wait don't waste my time what are you why are you getting up and speaking you know so guy gets up i wasn't really sure what i'm going to speak about are you kidding me i'm going to listen to you now you're not even sure what you're going to speak about and the worst the worst is a guy gets up and says i'm not really a speaker if you're not a speaker then continue your practice and don't be a speaker the med risk says one is not allowed to get up and speak not to say advaitora not to give a shear not to give a lecture unless you've rehearsed what you're about to say four times less than that you can't open your mouth says the madrish where do we learn this from from before the ribangerman gave us the torah he rehearsed the torah four times says it says the matter rabbi is don't say i already know it very well where do we learn this we learned this from my college baruch hashem raw and then he told it over to adam who taught this teaching who is the bala memra that don't say anything until you're crystal clear about what you're about to say baby he's being masak in the uh deficiency of akhashverosh akras vero stammered one way this way one day that way today he thought like this today he thought like that no rabbi akamentarasa says if you don't know what you're going to say if you're going to say um i thought like this like that do not even begin that was the third ticket of rabbi bente rasa fine so we have this nice gentile who started off as a guy on sunday he used to tailgate he used to barbecue and then he meets a nice cow and the cow changed his life the cow mamash changed his life it's amazing and he became a great sadiq he became a god of hadar and he became a tanner of and who was this akhashverosh comes ramami pano says and what about the cow who is the cow says the cow was none other than vashti vashti came back to this world as a cow she had a cow actually she was a cow she became a cow why did she become a cow so says mommy pando the gamora says in the magilla that on the seventh day when the king's heart was full of wine was satisfied with wine so the gemara asks until now he's drinking wine for seven days and he wasn't drunk yet so the gemara says it was shabbos and what do jews do on shabbos they eat they drink and what do jews do when they eat and drink says the gemara jews say devray torah they sings miro esta college and what do do when they eat and drink they speak about nashem they speak about low matters and these guys were saying the median are the most beautiful and these were saying the chalidins are the most beautiful and akashira says the kli that i use is none of the above you want to see her and they said yeah provided us under our conditions says the gemara and why was vashti put in this embarrassing situation that she had to come display herself arum says umar because she was mafshit but if aruma she would undress jewish girls and make them work on shabbos says vashti turned into the cow the cow was forced to work on shabbos and by the way the cow was not wearing that many begotten either so the cow was also working aruma and me the negative the vashti made the jewish women work on shabbos so now vashti has to work on shabbos so barkhashem were able to reinstate our yasoid that in fact vashti did have a genuine bona fide certified tale not to tell that you thought but ultimately in her final take on vashti had a real tell and who what did vashti do la maisa she inspired her husband she brought out the best in him the first time around she didn't do a good job he was a buffoon akhishverosh the first time ashley did a lousy job with her husband but the second time around shimamish made a mensch out of him through her cowlessness she was able to bring out the best in aches she turned them into a yid she turned them into a tana raviocraca and says the madrish if you're wondering how could a cow change your life around says the medarish we learn this from parshas para aduma and that's what we're suggesting parshas para is an immediate aftermath of purim because the end of the purim story is that which a cow could bring a person back to chuva and as we said the gematria of zoys is and on that note wishing everyone a very safe you've just experienced another torah
