Parshas Shemos: How Aramaic Corrupted The Torah & How to Fix It

this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com everyone here in Kew Garden Hills We Begin safer shimais the Ayla is these are the names of the children of Israel that are coming to mitzrayim with the archive each man came with his household so there's a well-known remix of the balatora referring to the Mitzvah that is uh introduced in the camera tells us that one needs to complete his parachutes with the seabor twice the possuk and once the targum and anyone who does so so this which is so this is one Simon that is we're a little bit weak in this people are not so Zohar necessarily to be maver the seja so it's a simmen in fact it's important for a person to make Simone and learning and even in the simana first of all right what no um tough cough so far right because uh the Seattle that's how far are in the semen which is gamatria chaifa I remember once I went to Ashira from the seonf so he posed a question to the audience it was full of and nobody knew the answer what Simmons and I had learned and I I did not remember he says come on fish so and uh Hebrew he brought other a number of other Sim on him he said because there's a sheet of repsad you're going that the mahabra wanted to be mahabad and he brought a bunch of different uh ramazim I like to say you know Simon right and then the best one is I think I mentioned this is tough it's a tough time and if you need a lot of coffee so by the way there's a there's a somebody who has a whole program of remembering Shas and he does it by making up ridiculous mnemonics to help remember every daf gamara and it actually works what no I'm not talking about that one I don't know that you know did somebody asked uh the Shabbos table you know Bill and zilpa which one which which children are familiar wish for zilpa so nobody knew him I said I learned the song in third grade and and she remembered but uh with simonem the more outlandish the synonyms the better you remember you know you remember a Dover Tama anyway so here's the Bala to him says a person that learns the order twice mikra and one targum because in a pleasant voice yashir singing it rabbis who will live many years long years forever now what does it mean to live um if you live many years what what is the advantage of that them being long what's the difference between many and long see a person could live have lived for a day and not accomplish anything you know you get stuck in a minion that they start nine o'clock shot this morning they have some cousin and you don't get out until 12 30. so you know you have a day but you don't do anything the whole day you know so sometimes you have to find the right minion the right time and you were able to maximize your time you have uh it's good to have long uh many days and long days the whole thing with healthy healthy okay healthy also okay arucha that's what you're referring to yeah okay we'll go with that okay so this REM is not just in the world of remez and drush but it's actually codified in the in the postcam as well because the lavish and Simon Ray the leverse brings that hazal obligated a person now this is very interesting obligated look at the difference between Allah just says what does mean really forever it doesn't sound very emphatic it sounds more somewhat suggestive not but you know it's interesting and the gemara says the Torah says you need to foreign which means that when a gemara says it means you have to that's the way the gamar formulates it but anyway the lavish says that the reasoning behind the midst of God wants a Jew to be a proficient and familiar with the Torah israelich why are you standing small hold on to that question for a minute Israel so people ask everyone's Hive no Gentiles are Potter from it's not one of the Mitzvahs okay so you do not have to go out and proselytize people to do don't stand on a soapbox in Times Square is even if you don't you still have to do if your mother's Jewish you have to do it fine it's interesting why is the lavush all of a sudden becoming a darshan and about Remus is not the balaturam why is the lavush incorporating a remise which he does what does it add to bring down this remnants of Israel uh foreign is so authentic this remnants is so basic this remnest is so early that we can actually be medactic in the language of the Remus to learn because it says why do we call Item why don't we call it says we know there are various ways of doing mikra you could do it possible now pasok is zachar and is nickeva Pasha on the other hand is nikava so the fact that it says which is that's mashma the proper way to to be Makai in the midst of mikra is that the ideal way to do shinai mikra is if it was going on the parashahima so it's very very interesting because there are two approaches brought down in the mishnabura either or parachute Apparition now means from pay to pay that those are the only two options brought in the mission of the third option which is the easiest option it's um you do the whole power show Once the whole Powershell again and then the whole Target but interesting that approach is not cited in the mission bura but the Ali araba feels the ideal way to do it is okay comes up into Ephraim and Robin ashkenaz and this is quoted by the we know that when he traveled to the camera oh it's okay if you can um says this remnants as well the Elisha moist beneath so this is really the earliest um Makar of this REM is he says so I remember that I had once seen this is the he does memory of what ravino Ephraim wrote but I had I remembered I once saw in a version of Rabino Ephraim how he makes that the entire possum is to the midst of mikra and I cannot find okay we'll be okay we cannot find um I cannot find this version of Rabino E frame anywhere I went to all the bookstores and then I went to shivadakhetara they had in their Library one of the original printings of Rabino Ephraim and get her load of this cesariam what does it stand for not Adam you know if it would save Adam you know people would think of course everyone's Hive but not me because my life is too busy so it means everyone else so Nevada frame says no not everyone else you pal we're talking to you you did you who think you're Potter were telling you you're Hive how do you do it you should re Lane it with the Trump say oh that's miserable no yes you need to rejoice when you do it and don't worry it will save you from all difficulty Mommy called Soros rabbis yutulum you will be saved from old Saras so instead of following the advice of the magazines that people waste their lives reading I'm not talking about the non-jewish ones of different ways to save yourself from all travails follow the advice of Adam licorice is a gentleman in right field asked if it's such an important mitzvah that you're obligated to remember Etc the worst time to tell a seabor about the Mitzvah being mavera cedra is when you're full and so behind the eight ball that you cannot catch up imagine if in two weeks from now we hold the big rally about the importance of starting the dafyami cycle you know well you know you're ready you're ready behind the eight ball you know you want to start talking about the death join me a month ago not not a month later you know once you're up to death your gimmel you know see you in seven and a half years so why would the Torah dafka mention the remnants and the obligation to remember Sergeant shemais by this time if anybody's interested they're gonna say you know let me know when visay sabracha comes I always like to speak about it pastures voracious That's The Logical time to speak about the midst of Maverick cedra why would there be a remnants to the midst of naversedra specifically in safer shemais so I'd like to offer today a very novel reason for this uh question something I saw a few years ago but I think it's uh very beautiful but today we're going to offer uh three explanations for this classic remnants again it's not just the balaturum it's codified by Little Bush it's borobino Ephraim it's brought by the police game why is there a remnants all the way and say for sure what does it got to do with mm-hmm asked this question he says what is this Ram is doing here offers a kabbalistic interpretation which is beyond the scope of the sheer and Beyond the scope of my ability to comprehend and to articulate and the words are there's something called clipas noyga clip a bad Clipper somehow it is connected with Tomas mitzrayim and therefore upon The Descent to mitzrayim the ribana is telling us the way to somehow overcome clipas noyga which is also connected to the targum is by being mavered Etc okay I invite everybody to read what quotes here to try to figure it out and understand it but let's begin with approach number one why is there a remise specifically in the beginning of safer shimais so there's a beautiful safer called by Robin by Ravi gamliel rivenovich not to be confused with okay he wrote um every many people they go to Earth's Throne he's one of the big destinations he's uh one uh one of the rashiva Yeshiva Shara shamai in very warm individual and I believe this is his nephew who's also a big macabre and in the back of his safer he has Shyla sias from Heim kaneevsky and then we'll give like uh a one or two word response and then he'll elaborate the true meaning of time was saying okay so Prime was asked the following question here you have a guy he never knew about Mavericks schedule let's say and he's apprised of the Mitzvah when it comes to Grace's tasria and there's no way the guy doesn't have the good deal to catch up from voracious or even a guy he he falls behind and he's up to there's no way the guy's catching up you know too much he doesn't have the patience he doesn't have the zits Flash is there any point in continuing if you missed the first couple of parishes or if you're is it all or nothing you would think it's All or Nothing because it's called hamash limparation so if by visit you're not finishing you're not finishing the Torah there's no there's no point in going back you should wait until the new cycle and then uh start with the new cycle it's let's say a guy like this you know um the guy's up to mind and we said you said he said no I didn't say it reviewed you have to start the Schwann essay over pal there's no way in the world I'm saying 17 Brothers again so at least I'll say the end you say no if you're not going to go back just stop in your tracks and and go home take call it a day right there's no purpose and if you didn't say you cannot finish this way there's no purpose of things so what about a guy who missed the beginning of being marvelous is there any talk list and continuing on from where you're up to answered yes Indian there is an Indian ah uh I understand why there's a Remus to being my first Sandra and shemais could have been in voracious so you'd say okay be Maverick Sandra so the guy would say I'll be my message and I'll start from the beginning but we're sure that if the guy hasn't done it until shemais he ain't going back but the tire is saying even if you're not gonna go back there's still a toyallas to start right here he says maybe that's why the Torah is marames to the midst of Maverick and this juncture so that you shouldn't think that there's no Indian to start if you're not going to go back to the beginning that's the first approach approach number two years that doesn't make sense you mean should he is he obligated to continue [Music] good answer okay here's the second approach the gemara says the divine you should be Maverick cedra even the names of the Cities Rashi says what's even the words that tell us the Divine it says there's no targum and even though there's no tar gum you still read it a third time says this is explaining every so fractis why did it pickles the Divine Ataris the Divine has Tiger mushami Why didn't it say it should have said ruvane vashimine or a different Posse that doesn't even have tagami xiaomi satosha says you know why you picked our Taurus with Divine even though there's no target you do a only target mu xiaomi you should say the targum so the tour points out that there's actually a Mac like this over here the tour says there's an alcoholic it's between mashi and Isis the Torah says the Divine perus there even Ruben vashima and you have to say three times even something has no target at all even like Ruben what's the target you still have to say that three times even though there's no targum but some say you know I picked that Teresa Divine because there is the Divine where there's tagami xiaomi have to read it three times but Ruben you don't have to read do you need to be matar game even if you know there's no tagum do you need to read it a third time so comes to say for nepheina son that the Torah strategically was murami to the midst of cedra in the beginning of shemais because we're about to read the sukim that you would think have no obligation to read a third time namely Ruben Michelle so the Torah he says is being mirames as a precursor to Ruben mashimon to say that we should go like shitas Rashi that you need to be maver the cedra even on Words that not only don't have tagumoncus but don't have tagum you shami either to indicate like shitas Rashi okay that's approach number two myself not every word but here these are Mama sukim that every word of the power all the all the episodes we're about to mention don't have any tagum at all here's approach number three this is a new one this is a novel approach okay get out your notebooks everybody likes preparing the retire for the say there so don't don't say you know I didn't give you anything good to say over we're starting now you know um and we know that begins I don't know I made that up how many days you know what okay says begins in what language Aramaic very interesting is the whole halachma onion Aramaic no there's one word that's not in Aramaic joyren is Hebrew it should say that's not going to work out for me so we're going to say it's our America okay that also doesn't work out for me but how Irene is the only word that's written in Hebrew why is the last word of the perak written here you'll see where I'm getting this from okay just bear with me this is wants to know why is the first stanza of the Haggadah written in Aramaic Lamas in the in the hagoda of the Barbarian the rest of the haggadas by the way I would add there is one more part of the Haggadah that's also an Aramaic Romeo the end of the hagada so the hagada begins and the hagoda ends in Aramaic why so that barbariance does very simply because we're about to invite the aniam so if you invite them in Swahili they're not going to be talking about and then this was written in bhaval so you want to speak to aniam or Babylonian you got to talk their language come into my house you need to speak to him a language they understand so it opens up in Aramaic but uh Rebellion Mei Izmir the bauschev and Moser in number 26 he points out that if this was the reason why it was written in Aramaic why would we go in the last word and switch it to Hebrew why would we call it okay fine let us um continue on in the we said so when we talk about the the evil plan of Lavan we make sure to call him anarami we make sure to say that he's from um from the country that they speak Aramaic why is that important to focus on well the Torah says that the Torah says not love unwanted destroy my father and arami wanted to destroy my father as if the fact that he's an arami has something to do with the way that he wanted to destroy Claudia Israel and then the past the hagoda continues which literally means they were compelled to go down based on the command of Asha based on what Hashem said but we're going to explain that in a new way as well so we have a interesting between Jacob avino and Rachael which you know what we're going to say this was it wasn't a machlaikus it's what we call semantics a she's about to die but she says nice try the others no no not listening to you you could be dying but I'm still not listening to you Rocco calls him Benoit and yaakov says no you're Benjamin says the voracious rabba what's the difference between benoini and Benjamin says Brazil means exactly the same thing Rocco says hey we're gonna call it the son of my pain I gave birth to you in tremendous pain I'm about to die so Jacob says no no don't say it that way say it in hebrewin meaning they're calling him the same name Rocco saying it in Aramaic and yaakov saying it in Hebrew yes when you and when you give a shown rash you we'll see what rash you said this is what the matter says yeah so Joseph reveals himself to his brothers and Yosef has many choices of what he could tell his brothers in his opening remarks he could say how you doing how uh what's going on how's Mom no how's life Joseph says two things you see it's my mouth hell foreign speaking in Hebrew so Joseph's opening sentence to his brothers is basically check me out I speak Hebrew I mean you think they know that that's the language he's speaking to them in so he's doing them in Hebrew they know he's speaking in Hebrew why does he need to point this out so what what the idea that we're going to say what it's based on is based on a tremendous principle that is brought into svarum is the rubber of hashel of Krakow he was the rough of Krakow before the magala mukas before the bach I believe excuse me before the Taz before before the magala mukas and he quotes the safer Galia Razia and this is also quoted in the safer who's also one of the cadminim of the balladra she's quoted extensively and they both say the following principle that the reason why Claudia throwing down to mitzrayim and there are some holes here and we'll maybe we'll Point them out but this is a a long-standing you saw it in the world of drush and brought by khanim that the reason why Claudia saw went down to matsurium whose fault was it yaakov's fault what did yaakov do wrong he allowed something to creep into the Torah what did he allow to creep into the Torah Aramaic when did he allow our America to creep into Torah when he's talking to his schwer foreign by the way it's an interesting thing does any anybody familiar with one conversation in the whole hummus of anyone speaking to their mother-in-law just curious and there's one Converse now with the with the father-in-law here we have one and it didn't end well yes speaking to love one and loved one says no galaid says the Galia Raza because yaakov allowed Aramaic into the Torah it destroyed us and it was going to destroy us and we were going to have to go down to mitzrayim and the remnants is why when they sold your safe I'm number 24 but yes what are you coming from gilad what's gilad that the reason why they're going down to mitzrayim is because yaakov allowedusa to go into the Torah which is the Aramaic of galaid this is the shot Aramis the Aramaic of my father yaakov nearly destroyed us therefore we had to go down to matryam that sub shot says the river of passion we were compelled because of the speech of Aramaic that was injected in the Torah foreign so let's let's say it simply now and then maybe at the end we'll add hezbar it seems like the fact that yaakov even entered into this conversation and responded to it and didn't tell the history don't say that don't say that word somehow yaakov is liable and culpable for allowing this Aramaic word to creep in the Torah and because of that we had to go down to the train that's what the rubber repetition writes that's what the lave Aria writes that's what the shaven Musa writes this is one of the ancient ideas in the sephry Josh UA so we'll maybe we'll we'll try to explain what this means but these are the words now says the levarrier this explains that when the brothers meet yoi safe Joseph knows the only way we're going to get out of here is if we somehow overcome the fact that the Aramaic creeped into the Torah so yaiser says don't worry we're not stuck here is don't worry don't worry now now says and we're going to add to this this is why there's a Remus to realize that the Vietnam that we were born with Raima in other words if you want to know the seba of why we came to mitzrayim it's because the targum that got stuck in the Torah was the seba that we had to go down to matron now this is the aside based on this you saw it even kadmanim arbona a few different interesting things based on the seaside so comes the Shay venmo sir and the Musa writes in his Haggadah number 26 hagadas he says based on the goliathia quoted by the river of heschel quoted by the quoted by the levarrier that the reason we went down to midsryam is why because the Aramaic that was injected in the Torah and for the reasoning of Ono salpiador now we know why the hagada begins with Aramaic because we want to set the tone we want to understand exactly what's this night all about why did we have to go down to Missouri in the first place what are we trying to overcome so what why we had to go down we had to go down because of the Aramaic that got injected in the Torah and that's why he says not like the other the barber now says written in Aramaic because for the Anem to understand so yeah so why do we say a number of words in Hebrew including so he says it purposely put in one or two Hebrew words to alert you to the chain means so that you recognize that it's these words of Aramaic that somehow got put were put in the Torah that we had to go down to matram in the first place so Mr near wants to say a nice shot but it's not not necessarily connected to my share but I'm going to take credit for it because he thought of it because you were sitting right that you want to say Okay so let's pause for a moment we're gonna Mr near however has a very nice bartira right you want to say because Josef was sold for bread and it wasn't nice that they ate bread therefore we started but it's what the brothers it's a good shot but you know side point of the chair I like it put it in the hagada you know it's a reminisce you know look I'm not responsible to explain to you his Tyra you know okay fine fine that's the cash on all the different sea boys so I am plain and simple why why sticking Yakov into this there has to be a siba that something had to happen that triggered that gazera that allowed the xero to be held and these are are attributing it to the fact that Aramaic was injected to Atara but wait a minute give me one more minute so right now right now one second please right now we're saying that the reason why the midst of schneid mikro is in the beginning of shamois is to be maramis that the reason we go down to mitzrayim was because of Aramaic now watch this I found the random Sam Cipher a middle of Hulen that has some Sofia says the Dover niflamide and I think this will open up an amazing understanding by the midst of Shania mikra is alluded to in the very beginning of shemais the example is talking about clippersnoiga made reference to that's connected to targum says how do we overcome the clip of Niger how do we conquer the Tomah of targum when your mother said Russian mikra your movatel the targom and the Tomah to the process of bittleborough you hear this look at number 29. because I'm sorry for rights like randomly mikra so it comes out according to the rubber of heschel and according to live Arya and according to the and according to the shebel Musso why did we go down to mitzrayim because of the Aramaic that was injected in the Torah either by Lavan or we're blaming yaakov for allowing it but that's what they write the Aramaic that somehow crept into the Torah is considered to have corrupted the Torah to the sense that we had to go down through time to eradicate that so how do we get out of metrium how do we correct that remember that betrayed bit of so it comes out pillay Plum we know that ibang has always mocked in the refua to the maca so the beginning of shamas we're talking about going down to mithrayim there it has to be that in the opening Posse of shemais Not only would it tell us why we went down to mitzrayim there had it has to be telling us how we get out of matrim it has to be the Revolution was always mark them before lamaka and sure enough the opening of Shema says by the way as you're going down to matsurium you know how you're getting out of mitzrayimes because the reason we're going down and the way you get out is no wonder then tell us why because we know all trouble and all difficulty and all setbacks are a result of golos so if there were ever be a way that you could overcome the Godless and the causes of gallows that would Grant you prolonged happiness arucha life sure enough because I'll say since the way you get out of mitzrayim is foreign oh yeah so even though the the martial says that targum is very familiar to our people and the reason why it's very familiar is because our Zeta was Lavan and it's a language that we spoke before we ever spoke and tagum isinai so what exactly first of let's try to understand this a little bit and again I'm just presenting you these are very classic sources that date back 400 500 euros but it's hard to understand what is the minako avinu allow tagum to enter the Torah what did he do already what was he supposed to do he didn't write the Torah the turret this is what Lavon said and the Rebellion put in the Tyra and in fact yaakov said anything about that he said Khalid another question you could ask is these are not the only Aramaic words in the Torah for example means deciphering sequence no there's a word there's a word in the Torah that is for sure not inesh and that is the rashbam says that when the Jewish people encountered the white uh the food from heaven they called it man is Hebrew man means Ma they should have said why are they called man what they're Jamaican why they call it man right foreign I once met an individual they said hi Ma I said it's Rabbi to you you know but what's man man is Egyptian it's Egyptian did that did that ruin anything did that ruin something so first of all in what way did yaakovino allow the targum and the tar he didn't say it in targam and secondly what's what's wrong with the targum targum is me yeah third of all tagum is so bad really ever looking to say for Ezra what language is it written in what about what Daniel is is very much an Aramaic what about talmad bavoli there's a problem with that we don't do that so first of all you have to say the problem is only in the Hamish not in the other swarm but we find words in the Hamish that are not in English so again this is just a suggestion and and that is there's nothing wrong with Aramaic here's the problem the problem is that has to always remain the Supreme language always has to have Supremacy over the other languages when targum is giving prominence is then a shifra to the to Aramaic then you're sort of diminishing The Prestige of that's a big problem so when love once said and yaakov said by the way for all those who don't know what yougar so hadusa means let me try to explain to you the meaning of this Aramaic word sayakovino translates it into Hebrew as if the Hebrew is there to be subjugated and to be subservient to the Aramaic so yakovino has placed as inferior to the superior language of Aramaic that's a problem the fact that he translated Aramaic intellation but the fact that Jews said this is what it is that's the language they spoke that's uh it's Sarah it's not a big deal but maybe the reason the rubber of Hessel is blaming Jacob he didn't even speak Aramaic the fact the problem is not using the word the problem is showing because we know Allah is the the mother of all tongues is the first language that's how our coach bro who created the world to put anything under it maybe that's what the issue is that we offered three approaches as to why the midst of being married is alluded to in the very beginning of safe number one to teach that even if you haven't started yet it's never too late to start number two to teach to follow the practice of Rashi that even words like Ruben shiman that have no Aramaic at all you should still read it a third time and finally based on the Sam soy Fair some Cipher says the purpose of Mavericks to be mavato targum putting that together with the sight of the rubber of heschel that the reason we went down to mitzrayim is because of the Aramaic that got inserted into the Torah We Now understand that we went down to mitzrayimonu we went down to masram arami or even because of the Aramaic that got injected in the Torah we got out Joseph says don't worry I'm still speaking in Russian wants to give us the refua before the Makkah how do you get out of golos how does a person overcome even personal difficulty there's a great Mitzvah of being Maverick cedra that we still have not yet reached we still have some Bittle targum to go and Bezos Hashem we hope to get there you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
