Good morning. Welcome. Welcome to our
viewers on Torah anytime as well. want
to dedicate this year for the of him and
his family for the of
who is in a coma
as well as the great Simra of
the the engagement of my dear Kusa's son
Tahila Lewis and the one who's
responsible is sitting right here and we
should all say thank you to you Ahmed
should be
uh two announcements. First of all, I
mentioned that a few weeks I'm going to
speak in different communities in the
state. So that will be the shabases of
we won't have a all the shabases are
taken but there's still a few days
available if communities want in it's a
a weekday shir. The other very happy
announcement
that we spoke about a few weeks ago
with,200 pages came out.
The first one came out about 17 or 18
years ago with only 700 pages and I
thought I covered the whole subject with
700 pages. A few years later it came out
B and then another 700 pages and I was
sure that's it, 1400 pages on one topic,
you know. Gmail comes out with another
700 pages and then a few years later
with 1200 pages and now hey with 1200
pages and I understand that I probably
didn't even scratch the surface because
it's not every so often sometimes we see
measure for measure that is how conducts
his world measure for measure. So you
just have to open your eyes and wear
these special
glasses and everything turns into and
you see it and
everybody's always searching what is the
mid and in fact one has to search for it
because the
says that one who always looks for the
mid but wait a second why did this
happen over here why did this happen to
me in this specific situation this
specific day why when he always wants to
see in that matter
He is the one who's going to be
so he's going to see because he always
looked for he will be
all those who are interested there some
in the back and the whole set obviously
one can [clears throat] purchase that as
well
>> any parts in English. Yes, there are
parts in English because the migillas
two volumes came out in English in
Hebrew and in English
is in English and
will come out with volume two in Hebrew
and in English and there's the benture
which is in Hebrew and in English
benture with interpretation. Now we can
finally start the year
will be speaking about the missing link
in our collective DNA. There's something
missing.
Who in the world had permission to
rebuke
on a ongoing basis?
Do you have to pay the shirts value? And
how much how much does your shirt really
cost?
Taking very dangerous long strides
when you need to choose between shoes to
support. Which one should you choose?
And the milliondoll questions, how do we
find love for
how do we get which I think is a
question on everyone's mind? Maybe we'll
have a few more things in between, but
we'll start with the with the riddle.
Did he have a daughter?
Not everybody together. Did Ysef had a
daughter?
Joseph, he had a daughter. her name.
>> I don't know her name. But all the
children of
>> you taught her in seminary. How do you
know?
>> All the boys got accompanied to a girl.
>> All the boys thevatim. What happened to
them? They had
>> a twin girl. Sister.
>> Ah. You saw
a twin sister. Rashi says over there
that every one of the tribes had a twin
sister born with him.
But but you didn't look at the
the gu says yes except Ysef. has why
that isn't
and even if you want to say Ysef in fact
had a twin sister when we all go down to
Mit how many people were there
>> 70
>> 70 you just told me there are another 12
twins and with binyamin there two twin
two sisters where are they how come
they're not counted
>> it's a good question
>> it's a good question she addresses this
question she asked wait a second I just
told you that there's the twin sister
with every one of the tribes. How come
they're not counted? And Rashi is forced
to say because of this question, they
all died before they went down to time.
>> You want to kill them because you have a
question.
You know there's a famous rule in the
yeshiva world.
You don't die from a question. You have
a question, keep going. Keep going. Keep
learning. One day you'll find the
answer. And even if you don't, sometimes
you have an amazing question. What? So
what he doesn't stop everything also
knew everything that you know and maybe
he had an answer maybe he didn't but he
continued you can also continue from a
question you don't die but here because
of this question Rashi is killing the
sisters
very strange
why was Rashi forced to kill him
because he has a question what's the
question
>> if you're counting and you get to 70 and
these girls are not there obviously they
died
But Rashi doesn't know this rule that
you don't die because of a question.
He's killing people because of a
question. So some say
jokingly
how did these girls how were they born?
What's the word gum doing there?
Grammatically it's not needed. Someone
say oh gum. Oh I have a question. What
is GUM DOING? OH, GUM TO INCLUDE gum
comes to just like and gum is gum comes
to include
that there was also a girl born with
every one of which means these girls
were born out of a question because you
had a question. People who are born just
because of a question they also died
because of a question.
[clears throat] Jokingly back to our
question
did a did he have a daughter or not?
Yuda says to Ysef as she brings to the
Are we asking for your daughter? What
are you getting so excited? Obviously
implying that Ysef has a daughter.
Otherwise, it's very not nice to say
this to who doesn't have any kids. Am I
asking for your son? For your daughter?
He doesn't have any kids. So, obviously
Ysef had a daughter. If you can address
him and say, "Am I asking for your
daughter?" That's a proof that Ysef had
a daughter.
>> Who did a friend who was married?
>> What's that? Who did a Friday to marry?
>> I don't know why I wasn't invited to the
wedding.
>> So I don't know.
>> Hazal, don't tell us. You have to assume
not. They were converted just like
everybody else at that time. By the way,
at that point there's no Jewish people.
And whom did yadik marry?
>> Who is she? The daughter of
>> is the you know the you know you know
what does the say the daughter of
not a problem
who did he marry
>> converted them even though there's no
Jewish people he took them out of the
belief in
let's speak about
was the ultimate not IN YOUR HEY, WHAT
DID YOU DO? THEY said
it's also it's also a very nice way of
by the WAY I'M NONE OF YOU SOLD ME. I'm
when you are stuck with the ems in your
face. Is my father still alive? Cuz I
don't know cuz I'm stuck here for 22
years. Part of them is an evid because
of you guys. I'm not saying that this
very very surprising Gmor about to the
Gmorian
speaks about this medish also appears in
the Gmorra says Omar
heaven and earth are my witnesses
many times
He got it. I don't want to say lashes
cuz that's the literal translation.
That's not what it means. You know why?
I used to go and complain about him.
You see it today.
Would give it to to his young disciple.
But don't worry,
but
I wanted to fulfill the says
don't rebuke a scoffer because he may
hate you.
If you rebuke, he's going to love you.
So, love me even more. But this bears
some questions. What's going on here?
Four questions.
Rashi explains when he saw
something which is totally unbecoming
he went to and complained what in the
world he see that was doing which is
what does it mean he says not once not
twice
many times
don't you get it the first time they
have to come back to you again it Again,
again this
is about
sad of going to
not right what you're doing. No, he
leaves and he goes behind his back.
It's about
what's going on. I think it's the
strangest.
At first glance I thought to say maybe
we're talking about it in the beginning
stages of because came from a background
you know he didn't grow up in the mir
and not in the lakewood is a sort of
type of a thing so maybe it's a midos
are not so polished
what's the proof
used to say you know when I was young
when I was an I used to say give me and
I'll bite him like a donkey.
Say why you say a donkey bite him like a
dog. You mean a dog right? Says no a dog
bites but he doesn't break the bones. I
used to want to bite
and break their bones like the donkey.
So that's the he came kind of rough not
uh you know so refined. That's what I
thought at first glance and I saw a
saying this called
and I think to say this
how can you say this? You know why?
Because
about the daughter of it says over there
who was the shepherd of her father
and why did you decide to marry him if
he is so rough he's not and he's
unrefined why do you want to marry him
says because she saw that is
because he was humble and he was refined
SO HE HAD TO be ah you're asking how can
you say such a statement Give me a and
I'll bite him like a donkey. So already
answered this says as an he didn't
understand what the were doing. He
thought that the
hate the ignoramises that he was part
of. He didn't hate. HE THOUGHT THEY'RE
ARROGANT. That's what he said. He
thought they didn't want to touch him
because a ignoramicist are disgusting.
No, it's just because they didn't want
to get tumor.
So it wasn't coming from a place of he
had this he thought that were not
conducting themselves in a certain way
the right way. So it's not a sh wasn't
refined. Yeah. Mahalak why he was doing
this. So I don't think you can say
because the whole reason she married him
is because
ads he was showing me. So he was he was
humble. He was
just
[clears throat] so what in the world
something which is disgraceful for
you see many many times and therefore he
has to rebuke not through goes around
and once and twice is not enough and he
keeps doing it again and again again
what can it be this bothered me for
years [snorts] I think seven and a half
years until one day
gave me this thought and I think it
works says I must come from before we
explain I have to go to say
so I have to go to a friend shop and
start acquiring friends how does it work
go spend money and buy yourself what
does that mean on that Mishna explains
go find yourself a that will rebuke you
it's not a yes man whatever you Oh,
you're the greatest. You're so smart.
You're so successful. A good is the one
who corrects your wrong mid your wrong
ways.
But similar again when the Mishna says
what's the right path that a person
should walk on and three opinions
a good friend about explains a good is
the one who fixes you who rebukes you.
He tells you when you're doing something
wrong. That's a good he actually cares
about you. What's that?
The goa actually used to call every so
often the mid to rebuke him. You of
great maleim. You can awaken me to do
some cha mid
came to I should give ma to you. Yes,
that's a good which means sadikim always
want to excel. So you find yourself
somebody and you tell them ahead of time
if you see anything wrong that I'm doing
please please tell me because my mission
in life is one I just want to grow I
want to ascend higher and higher on the
ladder of of
I want to get close to and I need some
to help me do that you can say the same
thing about if it's good for the go it's
also good for the came to he says do me
a favor you're a good
Whenever you see me doing something
wrong, let me know. You know what? I
even need the permission to give to the
because tells me for sure I will change.
Great. But what is that thing that is
doing again again?
Rashi says Rashi doesn't say
Rashi doesn't say bad.
What is that
appears twice in
the says
it's disgraceful for
to be wearing
patched shoes. Ah, look at you. You look
like a It's not right. You represent.
It could be
in the dun we learned was very very
poor. THAT'S WHAT HE WEARS AND HE
DOESN'T CARE for two reasons. First he
doesn't care about gashmir. Who cares
about my shoes? I just want to learn to
second of all I'm poor. Can't afford it.
THIRD OF ALL I DON'T THINK that
discusses he's so humble. That's the
SAYS WHO AM I? I KNOW WHERE I CAME FROM.
He sees him walking out like that and
says
no no good. It's told him to be walking
like this and says, "They weren't
talking about me. Are you kidding me?"
And therefore, he did it again and again
and again. So, he was forced to go to
the says, "Listen, it's a bizarre. It's
a
go and tell he's not allowed to because
to me he's not listening because he's so
humble." He thinks this doesn't apply to
him. Maybe in a different way.
Alf
the says and the source is from the same
it's for him it's disgraceful for him to
sit in auda
with ignoramicism
sitting in a with
says no good
says I hold like
it's only going to be written 1500 years
later what do you mean it's okay I I
you're allowed to say you're not allowed
to
over there inf
brings different opinions when this may
be permitted for example
in is the problem no problem you're
sitting in and some are sitting with you
according to the are you fine there are
that permit it
what do you want from me I'm sitting in
a it's not
more than that for and two of says of
course you're allowed to
say I don't think you're allowed to even
for that purpose says you don't
understand you know I was a shepherd I
know these guys I know how to speak to
them for me it's
it's a mitzvah it's a great mitzvah to
be involved in k I have to be sitting
with him says I don't think so what
people see from the outside is sitting
with ignoramis [clears throat] says it's
disgraceful or was sitting in his place
in his regular table and the came to him
says in case of that there are opinions
that permit it. It's not that he went to
they came to him or he was sitting with
a group of
and in that case if there are some
ignores as well
that permit it
we have
therefore he says it doesn't work with
so he feels you're not allowed to he
goes to say look he's sitting with it's
a it's not an issue it's not
And that's why it keeps happening again
and again again because doesn't want to
listen to him because he says to him
what's the it's talking about
doesn't even start and even if it does I
don't know that you're right.
How great was the
four snippets there's many more in
the language of the
he is considered one of the
if it wasn't for
would be forgotten from Israelenu
turns to and says you have a person like
this And you choose to give toya through
me. Why not through? Because he's
greater
says things that were revealed to were
not revealed to
knew the truth is the greatest person.
All the that we have today is from
because after all his passed away. He
passed on to his five
and that's everything we have the Mishna
the
everything that we have
he knows how great is and we say you
can't do this that's why he keeps going
back to refuses to accept it HE SAYS WHO
AM I WHO am I
is walking in his path we found in
another example of a night it's
disgraceful
to walk out alone at night unless he has
a
people may suspect him at night you go
you know there's no electricity outside
where you going doesn't look good
doesn't smell good
stepping out of his house again and
again again again you're not allowed to
say what are you talking about this
about not about me and he also doesn't
have this
he goes to the
to complain about it and this way it
solves all questions. How come again and
again again because they hold it doesn't
apply? That's why it's not that's why he
goes to
it just doesn't work. You can say that
if he said doing something that's not
correct, we have to find excuses.
>> You're sending us to and says after the
fact
if you see that you see in your eyes
something that you think he did in last
night, you have to judge him favorably.
But don't give re people reasons to
suspect you. It's the before and after.
Moving on.
Ysef gives five new suits to everybody
else. He gives only one. And he also
gives him some cash. How much?
>> 20.
>> 300.
Where'd you get that from? Why are you
giving binyamin 300? And why daamin and
no one else?
What's
when the says came back to the pit
rashi says what do you mean came back
says the day that they sold him he
wasn't there where was he serving his
father that means every single day
somebody else they took turns they had
shifts today you taking care of daddy
tomorrow you're okay 12 tribes everyone
has to take care of daddy. Everybody has
to be there to serve him.
How many days a year?
How many days in a year?
>> Yeah. But if you don't have to help
daddy, everybody's there. You have to
take care of him on weekdays, but
everybody is out of the house. So you
have to take 300 days, and that's also a
number that represents how many days you
put on because you don't put on. So you
have 300 days divided by 12 tribes. How
many days does each tribe get to take
care of daddy?
300 divided by 12
>> 25
>> 25 DAYS PER kid
Ysef wasn't around for 22 years he
didn't serve his father so how many days
does he owe the system he owes all the
fathers the all the brothers 22 years
times 25 days a year that I'm supposed
to serve my father 22* 25 550
wait a second it's like hiring workers
if you're supposed to show up at the job
and you're not somebody else comes
instead of you, you have to pay them. So
he has to pay. But wait a second, I
don't have to pay the brothers that sold
me. So out of the 11 brothers, 10 I
don't have to pay. If there's 550 days
that he owns the system and every
brother
out of the 11 has to take his place. So
how many days per brother? 550 divided
by 11?
50. 50 time 11, right? 550. So every
brother I have to pay 50 days. I'm not
going to pay 10 brother that sold me
because they cause it to themselves to
start working extra. If I need to pay
someone, it's only been on me. He wasn't
involved in the sale. So how many days
do I have to to give him?
>> I have to compensate for 50 days that he
worked extra throughout those 42 days.
32 years correct.
The is if you make an agreement with
your worker how much you're going to pay
him per day. So you have to pay
according to the agreement.
But what if you didn't? You hired a
person for the job and you didn't make
up ahead of time. How much is your wage?
What do you do? You pay him af
six mouse. In other words, six coins of
silver. Oh, if I have to pay six coins
silver per day, 6* 50 days that I mean 6
* 50 is 300. And therefore, he gave him
300 silver.
You need dessert
or comes the many many after the say the
same thing without seeing the because
they thought about it on their own. We
said was not a part of the sale. The
other brothers that did sell him we have
to penalize them.
If somebody sells a person to be a slave
by a you have to penalize him. How
much do you penalize him? 10 times the
amount of his worth. The worth of the
How much is an worth?
They saw the worth of the value of the
times 10 is 300. So I have to penalize
all the brothers 300 each.
Byam didn't sell me. So I really wanted
to give them 300. I'm not they have TO
BE PENALIZED AS IF BIN comes and takes
the 300 of each one of them. But not
Binyam was part of the sale. So he can
get 300 KF and that's why Ysef gives
Dava only and he doesn't give the other
brothers. He also gives him though five
new suits. Why five suits? says the one
for the fact that Binyamin had to tear
his suit as the pasu says that when they
found the goblet in the sack of beyam
they all tear their clothes I caused you
to tear your suit here's one the second
one as you're my brother from the same
mother the third one because I accused
you of being a gun busha what
embarrassment you know what here take
another suit from it for that and
another two we already have three
another two because as a gun you have to
pay.
So because as if I cause you to be
obligated to pay here's another two
suits all five suits together
the panaz
is one of the bal
so they ask why did he give him suits on
a new car maybe a laptop why suits are
they missing clothes did they come with
ripped clothes look you guys look you
look terrible why don't you get a new
suit why did the dafka give them suits
And the and the explained because he
caused them to tear their shirts when
they heard oh the is in it's terrible
you I cause you to tear your shirt I'm
going to give you a new shirt instead.
That's why the says in Hebrew is a suit
but that's not what it means is from
language of khalif switcheroo. I tore I
cause you to tear your shirt. Here's
another shirt. INSTEAD BASED ON that
Ruven kill
now is doing cha.
He comes and he asks the rabbi. When I
killed Shim, his kids said chiva. When
they said Shiva, they all to do I have
to pay Shim's sons the value of the
garment that they tore. You see Ysef is
paying the brothers because I caused you
to tear your shirt. I'm going to pay you
another shirt. If a person kills another
person and because of that his kids
sitting Shiva and they took does he have
to pay them the value of their shirt? Is
this one of the ways of doing an
ultimate?
What do you say? You don't like it. Why
not? So explain Ysef.
What was Yseph doing? just being a nice
guy.
Shuva, what was he doing? Get him a
laptop. Why are you getting him a shirt?
I caused you to rip the shirt. I'm gonna
give you a new one.
>> So the the murderer SAYS THE SAME THING.
I CAUSED YOU to rip your shirt. Here's
the shirt instead.
>> There's a few differences
>> and they are
>> one is that here in killing Shim
said they had a creo to Creo and Ysef it
was a toast. He sort of tricked them
into
>> but they don't know. Ysef felt bad. I
caused do this. Ysef had to make them
look like Ganavim. He had to do this.
>> Not the difference.
>> I don't understand the difference. Let's
settle this one first.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Second one.
>> That [clears throat] the um the normal
way of life is that this man will pass
anyways and it's
>> a Yeah. Yeah. Look anyways at one point
the father's gonna die and you're gonna
take YES. SO I CALLED YOU to do it a
little earlier. What's the big deal? But
if that's the case, let's reverse the
question.
Killed Shiman's son. But the father will
never rip the shirt for his son because
he's going to die before him. So do you
have to pay the father for ripping his
shirt sitting Shiva for his son?
>> Nice try.
>> Nice try. [laughter]
>> Shirt that the father ripped.
>> I'm sorry.
>> The son would ya the shirt that father
ripped and then he would have to rip it
anyways.
>> Who would want to wear a ripped shirt?
He's going to throw it to the garbage.
No, that shirt
would live and then the son reactions in
the shirt and then rip it.
>> I think as soon as the father gets up
from his hea
there who keeps torn shirts
>> the father ripped because his son was
sitting his son he lost his son as soon
as the shiva ends
he throws away the shirt.
There's no
and if
he's saying the reverse if he didn't
kill this son. So at one point he would
be the shirt and this shirt will be told
when the father dies. And who told you
he [clears throat] would use this shirt?
>> I think
in
a gma that's what I wanted you to say.
What's a gramma? Indirect damage. Are
you for indirect damages
and therefore I asked if is it one of
the way to rectify we did not
but that's only if one wants to be even
on a he should pay but who says the gma
isn't this ai
is more direct even though it's not mish
mish direct but It's a higher level than
GMA and for GI we do obligate in Bin.
And when one kills his friend, he knows
that his kids will have to say isn't it
closer to GI
bigish.
>> No, we cannot say
because that's when the two things
happen at once. A person steals and
isab.
So we say, "Wait a second. You have to
get for and you have to pay back what
you stole." No, forget about the forget
about the stealing. We'll just charge
him for the skil. These two things
happen at once. But if he violated
chabas and 5 minutes later he stole, we
don't say, "Oh, let's give him the the
bigger the punishment." That's only when
they happen at once. The ka happens
after the father dies. So it's not
very surprising and the quotes
and I think we mentioned it last year or
two years ago when in the middle of the
war I don't know remember why certain
came up
is sending a for business you're a
driver please drive to Shal and bring me
something do some business for me the
Shalia embarks on his journey and
something happens
car accident, a heart attack, something
dies. Does the
who sent him has any responsibility for
the fact that his Shalia died on the
way? Has nothing to do with him. He gave
him some money. He gave him a package
delivered in Yushim. He started driving.
Half an hour later, two hours later, he
died on when he's on his way to the
says,
"If you choose to give something to the
orphans, it's the right thing to do."
He's not obligating him, but he does say
it's the right thing to do. You see,
there is a level of responsibility
towards the next generation. Even though
it's a it's not even a grandma for sure,
it's not even a gramma. What does it
HAVE TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THERE WAS
A MICHIGAN driver or the himself was a
Michigan DRIVER OR A HEART ATTACK?
But the he was working on my behalf at
that time. It's a but you see there is a
level of responsibility. So can't we say
that the same thing will apply here?
You still don't like it?
>> What's the difference between
>> killed Shim?
Shim's son said Shiva there is no level
responsibility but the went in the cab
have nothing to do with him I should
give a nice gift to the orphans it's the
right thing to do here killed the other
person killed intentionally or
unintentionally but he killed him
directly he doesn't have any
responsibility towards the kids he
caused him to tear the
you don't like it
>> it's Good. It's good. It's good. I I
don't think I don't like it actually.
Why? And I think you touched a little.
You hinted to it.
When the brothers, why did they do it?
They were so embarrassed. And then the
med says they were even more embarrassed
to walk around with torn clothes. Oh
boy. Were they embarrassed? Because it
feels terrible for them. I caused you
embarrassment. Then I want to pay you.
When the kids sitting Shiva tearing or
the father sitting sh for his son, why
is he doing it? THE MAH. IT'S A MITZ TO
CATCH. So I want to compensate you when
I cause you a loss. That's to the
brothers. I didn't cause you a loss. You
think you lose when you're doing
mitzvah. Now we don't recommend this.
[laughter]
This person should do this in order to
gain mitz for other people. No. But
after the fact it comes out that when he
did tear he did a mitzvah. If you're
involved in a mitzvah there's no loss.
If there's no loss I don't have to pay
your doesn't have to pay.
Sends the brothers away.
One of the opinions brought
what does it mean when he says to them?
It means you have told him don't take
long strides.
Why? Because what does taking long
strides do to your eyesight?
It takes away one
500 60
>> one of 500
of one's eyesight
in which we quoted from before the same
page the same
says
it's disgraceful to take long strides
it takes away one's eyesight why is it
more so than anybody else
you want to keep your eyes
wants keep his eyes. So, but when he
takes long strides, it's
not becoming of you. Why not? What's the
connection? What's the difference? The
higher level that we require from more
so than regular people different answers
over the he explains two ways [snorts]
really
applies to both regular people and
but there's an extra measure for to be
careful here because the says in
what happens to a takes bribe
It makes the person blind. So if this
guy is going to lose his eyesight
because he takes long strides, that's
what it does. The game says, "What are
people going to start saying about him?"
You know why he lost his eyesight? The
guy said people come to him.
Oh, [screaming] we know. And even if
he's not a kava, it has to be that he
had some kind of a and people will
suspect him. And therefore that's
in other words on top of the bodily
damage you're going to lose your
eyesight there's also going to be
if a person is because people are going
to be talking about you. The other
explanation says that must make sure to
maintain good eyesight because there's
many instructions that he has to give
that are dependent on the eyes
seeing the blood of a woman
you're going TO SEE REALLY WELL. SO WHAT
HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE your eyesight and
people come to you especially those
people used to come to you last year and
you know how to pass say I'm I'm so
sorry I can't answer what happened. Oh
yeah, I don't see what Oh, you don't
see. Okay, fine. It's at Vagna. It's at
Vagna. And therefore should be careful
more so than other people. The reef.
Who's the reef?
>> No, that's the who's the other on
the
reef of Pinto maybe 450 something that
years ago. He's not the from the And he
explains in two different ways. It's
true that if you take long strides you
may lose your eyesight but there's a for
it over there
says what how do you fix it you look at
the wine when you do kdish Friday night
and some suggest of it fixes your
eyesight so what's the problem says it's
not right to put himself in danger and
then go looking for the
looks forward into the future and if you
know activity is dangerous even though
potentially there is a for it. Why would
you do that? It's not right for himself
this way. Second of all, he adds and he
says
it's true that it fixes his but when
loses eyesight and he's going to do
kdish, what do you think he's going to
be thinking about?
He's going to be thinking, I hope this
works I'll be able to see better. It's
not right. We want you to have the
ultimate kavana. Stay away from long
strides. When you doda, you'll be able
to have kavana. Another fifth answer.
Don't bring this. That one is not
allowed to take long strides. And
therefore, you see people running to the
bank before it closes running to the bus
not to miss it. People do it. So if it's
not what is left
that's
what's
in that that if take if one takes long
strides may endanger his eyesight what's
the connection to eyesight and and long
strides comes the
he explains why does a person take long
strides where's he rushing to
he wants to get and grab those things
that his eyes saw he wants TO GET THEM
QUICKLY SO HE TAKES BIG STRIDES. AH, so
you know what?
Because of that, you're going to lose
your eyesight. So, how can Shabas fix
it? Cuz what does the P say about
Shabas?
And Shabas, you sit in your place. YOU
DON'T RUN AFTER your eyes. If you do
that correctly, Shabas comes and fixes
one's eyesight.
So, finally, just a few comments.
had that wonder replenish the eyesight
by looking at the ner 250
also when you lose when one loses 500 is
it 500 every time
>> yeah yeah yeah the so 500 times I take
long strides 500 strides and it's over
no it's 500th of what's left similar to
will also give people who are sick and
the says one who goes to visit the sick
takes 1/60th of the disease So the
government says, "Oh, so let 60 people
come and visit the sick and it's over.
It's 160th of what's left. So you need a
little more than other
doesn't become blind. I'm saying it's a
very very negligible amount of
eyesight."
>> Who told you to lose?
>> Maybe it depends on the length of the
strike. I don't know.
>> He can lose his eyesight to what degree
don't know. Maybe he does things to
counter it and he's going to gain more
eyesight. Don't know.
in we just learned
he said that is to run and he's
allowed to
shabas you're not allowed to run forget
about long strides you're not allowed to
run but running to shab you're allowed
to fight mitzvah when is allowed to run
finally after 22 years
is united with his son what's comes the
again and says look I
Bohu runs the world in a measure for
measure mida mida fashion and how exact
and precise is 22 years ago the 22 22
years yakov didn't serve his father
where was he by love he wasn't with his
father so now ysef is taken away from
him for 22 years and he can't save him
but within the 22 years this already ash
brings it but within the 22 years it's
so exact so he brings ashi says 22 years
that Ysef was in mit without Yakov
corresponding to the 22 years that Yakov
didn't fulfill
20 years that he was in the house of
Lavan in two years when he is traveling
from Lavan back to his home. So says in
all those 22, let's break him up.
There's seven years, the first seven
years that he worked with for in order
to have a wife. That's what didn't then
his mother say to him, listen,
go to my go to get a wife, sit until you
and how much did he work?
These days, these years seem to him like
a few days. So this is the same which
means he had permission to be in the
house of he didn't fulfill the but he
didn't transgress anything. Then comes
13 years that he stays more by and
that's without the so not only does he
not fulfill kibu he's wrong to be here.
The first seven years he's not
fulfilling but he's okay to be here
because his mother sent him. The next 13
years he's even wronged to be here and
he's not fulfilling the mitzvah.
The last two years we have already 20.
The last two years he is longing to go
back to be with his father to serve him.
As the pastor says, love says to him
because he yearned so much to go back.
So those two years obviously are
measured differently. Says Ysef look
what happened to Ysef. Unbelievable.
Se 13 years Ysef was betar. He came at
the age of 17 all the way to the age of
30 when he stands in front of a po he
was a slave he sat in jail that's 13
years connected the 13 years that Jacob
didn't have permission to stay in the
house of Lan 7 years he was still away
from him but as a king as a king that
corresponds to the seven years that
Yakov had permission to be with Lavan
but let didn't fulfill kibbu but at
least he's not suffering and the two
years is when Yakov heard heard
and is there and he really was dying to
see him. The med says
that he had such a yearning to see for
two years corresponding to the two years
that he had a YEARNING TO GO BACK to see
his father because
says all my measures are done. It's
exact. It's so so so precise
sends first
says what does it mean to open up a best
medish you don't go to a place if
there's no best med if there's no sh you
don't go there since this is me it gives
us a chance to ask a question I think
it's a very common question
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday in Jewel A.
I think many people maybe even people
sitting here mish applies to them right
week in one sho are different now both
shs are having a campaign they need your
money they're building a new shoe
renovations whatever it is sh campaign A
and sh campaign B want your money you
can only give to one sh maybe there's
some here that need to know this
you can only give to one sh which sh you
prefer the wig sh or the shabul you're
saying shabis and you think we're going
to money somebody's pocket without
giving a ayah just because it's a chabas
you got to give me substantiated give me
some documentation something
>> so on the school on the application they
ask you where do you d on shabas
because they realize there's no kus for
Sunday Wednesday one day you're here one
day you're there but let's say you
always dive in on weekdays in one shoe
and you do have kus and shab in a
different one whom should you give the
money to can only give to one
>> the show that you learned during the I
don't learn learn at home with the kava.
I learn the best a different one than
the sh
talking [snorts] about dik
membership.
>> What's that?
>> Membership
>> in both.
>> In both
>> in both or neither.
>> Prepare both.
>> There's no membership in both schools.
They don't ask for membership. But they
do need your money now for a campaign.
They're building the place. Renovations.
Very applicable. Shabas.
>> What's that? Shabas. Why?
Yes.
>> And you think as you're a gaba you come
to me say I think you should give to us
because you got your shabies. I say tell
me why
>> and therefore I'm going to keep shabis
everything and I'm going to have does it
say giving money to that I d that
provides a maybe you have to add and add
that as well.
>> Is there an opinion that says when you
learn Friday morning
>> I don't learn the whole week in I learn
somewhere else. I d in a
>> weekday. I in B.
What do you say?
>> What's that?
>> Oh, how many times do I d on weekdays?
>> 18.
>> 18. And only three times in Shabas.
Is it?
>> Let's see. [snorts]
>> Unbelievable.
unbelievably
brings the
words
says
it's a mitzvah to
but it's a mitzvah
to come to together and to praise that's
the language
so shab you have kadusha
and maybe shabis also is just like
shabas is k
Shabas is more of a cruise and that's
why they [clears throat] ask you on the
resume where you ask where do you dab
maybe ask it's a I but you do have
what do you do when you have a problem
called
comes first something which is frequent
comes first before something which is
infrequent but when you have something
which is moreash when a and a are
clashing what do you do you go to and
the says unreason resolve. Do whatever
you want.
When you have an issue of
you pick
but also have some very it's a heavy
weight and therefore you can pick
whatever that's
the right thing to do is to split the
money to give both if you can. So one
month give only to this jewel the next
month give to the other work here as a
>> why not
>> I mean think about
>> I come visit this place 18 times during
the week
>> here we're saying do instead of this
usually t before here we're not saying
give and donate to the
>> good so if I can only give to one I
prioritize the and I gave up oh now I'm
stuck I can't give the shad okay
>> it's a technical thing once I was able
to give because I'm supposed to I'm left
with no money
suffers but what can I Okay. Well, we
don't say that regarding Kaneka, do it
lights, right? Kaneka lights or mar
which comes first,
right?
>> Depends. What?
>> Depends.
>> So,
>> that's what the Mishna Bua wants you to
light a certain time. The Mishnab wants
you to light a certain time before comes
and therefore you don't run into the
problem of so make sure you light
before. If you go into the the time that
you already can destabazim
will light most of them 5 minutes before
10 minutes after 15 minutes 20 minutes 5
minutes before it says before I can d in
order not to run into this problem
because and they both unve
is and that's
>> what is
>> no it's a po some differently Every p is
different than kanuka. It's not a minute
of the place. It's a min of your rav or
whoever you follow.
>> So what if without your full money one
of the one of the crew going to close?
>> That's a consideration.
>> I mean so you have you split if you
split it doesn't help.
>> No that's a new consideration. We're
just showing and you're saying something
else. If it wasn't for you the place is
going to close down.
>> So which oneize
>> the one that's going to close? We'll
forget about the Don't forget about
Tanya.
>> No, no, both of them. Both of them.
>> Both of them will close.
>> So then we go back.
>> So [clears throat] if I only have I can
only give to one, our question comes
back and we ignore this consideration.
We're back to Tad and Mesh. And whoever
you prioritize,
whoever depends which Gabby gives you
more alos throughout the week.
Ysef is getting ready to meet his father
Yankeev and Bashim. They finally do meet
and Ysef is running running running
towards Jacob. JACOB SAYS, "OH, STOP."
OH,
the ultimate ine
there's nothing like it.
Really, what Yak wants to do is to run
like Michigan, hug and kiss him like
there's no tomorrow. 22 years I was
waiting for this, but he realizes
something bigger than that. And that's
and from him I have everything that I
have and I have to say thank you to
the highest level. How do we get there?
The says
one must say
when will my deeds reach those of my
forefathers? I want to have that. How
does one reache?
I think it's a million-dollar question
that is on everyone's mind and if it's
not it must be and we have to
[clears throat] try and progress and
become better at this and have stronger
and more intense love to how. So there
are a few ways
says
it says you're commanding me you shall
love
but I still don't know how.
How do you do it?
Go and learn
when you learn.
No matter what, you're going to fall in
love with
great. What if I'm a woman?
Doesn't apply to me. What if I can't sit
and learn too much? I don't know. He's a
doctor. He's performing surgery after
surgery after surgery after he's doing
great but he can't
provides the path called learning to
comes. He says, "I have a different
one."
And he will see the unbelievable wisdom
of
infinite wisdom.
Immediately he's going to love he's
going to praise and he's going to have
this unyielding desire to know.
By the way, many people misinterpret
this and they think the Rambam here was
either a travel agent or worked for a
travel agent and this says YOU MUST GO
TRAVEL, GO TO THE EVEREST, GO TO THE
GRAND CANYON. THAT'S NOT the Ram says
you don't have to travel.
The Ram doesn't say you have to see
spectacular things. He says boo look at
each other
open the window every single morning and
say wow I see sunrise I see the I see
mountain I see whatever I have in front
of me that's a kish
maybe if you happen to go to the grand
canyon you will see him again in a
different place a different way wow but
there's no to go there if you go get
you'll enjoy it okay so we this is very
important because I I think many people
think that the raam had some kaks in a
travel agency I don't know
So we have we have I don't want to say
traveling because what if a person
doesn't like to travel? He doesn't have
shadows. He's closer to place. He can't
look out. A third way is
if your neighbor that you're not crazy
about
started giving you $1,000 every single
day, will you not love him? He doesn't
owe you anything. And every morning he
comes knocking on your door, he's a
th00and. What if he gave you 2,000?
Every single day doesn't miss a day.
Chavez comes motis. Of course, I'm going
to love him. Yeah, but he's kind of
nasty. He gives me $2,000.
Ab gives you much more every single day.
Even though maybe yesterday we took some
long strides, our eyesight are still
here. Digestive system, shoulders are
working, knees are bending, our brain,
our wife, kids, house, car, whatever a
person HAS AGAINST US OR ANYTHING. IF
YOU VIEW IT as a million DOLLARS EVERY
SINGLE DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE HIM.
A person comes to you and says, "You
know, I just acquired this unbelievable
sensor.
It's a a love gauge. You see this guy
over there? Love him in the next 30 days
more so than you love him now. If you
don't, I'm going to give you a million
dollars. Do you think you're going to
find a way to love?"
So, you go over and you start talking to
him. What do you do? Where you from?
There's some some find something in
common. And you don't you don't he's
also kind of rough on the edges and he's
kind of nasty. But a million dollars are
waiting for you. Are you going to find a
way to focus only on his good character
traits? I love it. You're going to
ignore everything and he's going to say
he had a reason different background.
You're going to convince yourself. And
what if after 30 days they find that in
fact you love him just a drop more. You
get a million dollars. The guy comes to
you and says, "Listen, you have another
30 days. If you find a way to love him a
drop more, you're going to get $2
million. WILL YOU FIND A WAY?
YES.
Everything you have is from him and he's
the one going to shower you with more
than 2 million. SO IF WE THINK THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND LOVE TO but
that's the reason I brought this a
fourth way
says a remarkable thing. We tend to
think that giving is a product of love.
When I love someone, so I give him
gifts.
Giving is a product of love. Comes and
says, "You're wrong.
Giving yields love." He says, "I'll
prove it to you.
This doesn't apply here, but you should
know out there. Some kids sometimes
don't always listen to their parents. I
I know it's a you never heard of it. You
should know SOME KIDS DON'T ALWAYS
LISTEN TO THE PARENTS. YOU never heard
of this, right? I know.
And what does the parent do? He
continues showering them with more and
more and MORE GIFTS. WHY? What is it to
you?
The more you give, the more you find
love. When the father stops giving, love
will cease as well or it will diminish.
says the look at your children look at a
person who built a building arts
whatever he created when you create
something when you plant he discusses
trees and plants he discusses buildings
when you create something because you
gave from yourself you find love
and he says if you don't believe me try
it which means if your wife said
something nasty she upset you go buy
your gift you want to find love give and
you will find love. Giving heals love.
It's not that giving is a product of
love. It's the opposite. If the wife is
upset and a husband, let her bake him a
cake. Nobody wants to fight. Just how do
we end it? How do I love him again? No
problem. Give gifts and you will find
love. He says, try it on people and you
see that suddenly everybody becomes your
relatives. You love people. That's
the used to always say the root of the
word love is have which means to give.
You want to love someone give give.
You're going to find love.
Many times you see
you see a g convert how they d and it's
all inspiring. Wow look AT THAT FIRE.
AND I'm not talking about the first week
the first year they're in the business.
20 years later much more fire than a
boring FFB who grew up with Davening.
Where is that FIRE COMING FROM? HOW THEY
HAD to maintain it? I think the answer
is very simple based on this based on
the
what the convert and Bouva had to do is
to give to sacrifice so much more than
an FFB.
They have to sacrifice their family ties
many times, their friends, their
surroundings, sometimes their jobs.
The ta, the burden, the money. Suddenly
in the middle of life, go spend money
for a fitting. Go change your wardrobe
if you're a woman. Go change all the
pots and pans and all the dishes and
everything. You know how much money that
is?
WHAT AN EXPENSE. And everybody looks at
him. What happened to you? You became
one of them. What a sacrifice.
But since when you give you find love,
the bala the convert gave on the highest
level. So mim they have the highest
level of love towards the more so than
an who doesn't have to sacrifice. He
grew up with these concepts. So I don't
drive on shabas to the beach while
eating shrimps. Big deal. It's not even
a challenge before. It's an unbelievable
challenge. It's a major sacrifice. Oh,
you sacrifice. You got to find love.
Good.
dash the
two HEARTS
even if he takes your soul away
even if you have to spend all your money
we normally understand this to mean
you should love I'll tell you how to
apply it you have to be willing to
sacrifice everything I think this person
not only is saying what the says but is
here how to find the is asking a
question
you want to find love I'll tell you how
if you're willing TO SACRIFICE
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE if you're willing TO
GIVE YOUR BROTHER EVERYTHING LIKE
[screaming] THAT LIKE THAT COVERED YOU
WILL FIND LOVE IT'S AN INSTRUCTION IT'S
A GUIDE HOW TO FIND LOVE IT'S OBVIOUSLY
WHAT the gam says as well it's the
application of how to love you must be
willing the sacrifice, but it's also a
directive.
You really want to find it, I'll tell
you how. Be willing to separate from
everything you have.
If you're willing to do that, you're
going to find a very very intense love.
And this theme continues. This is one
later.
Don't read it.
IT'S A QUESTION MARK. OH, YOU'RE ASKING
ME, MAN. HOW DOES HOW TO ARRIVE THERE?
I'LL tell you. Keep everything that he
tells you
because it's going to cost you a lot of
money.
Put them together. Keep everything. You
know how expensive that is? What a
sacrifice. You have to refrain from so
many things that you would like TO DO.
YOU SACRIFICE INSTEAD OF YOU'RE GOING TO
FIND LOVE. When you sacrifice on the
highest level, you're going to find the
highest level to
so we just have to reprogram ourselves.
We're not going through the motions and
doing what they telling us. We're
wanting to sacrifice everything to give
everything to because we want to find
love to and we will. Last thing riddle
of the day.
Is there a in our para that appears the
whole
a in our par that appears in
any that appears in but the whole not
one word or two words I know appears in
the answer is yes
says it's right after in the next
paragraph
Thank you.
