this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay want to welcome all of our Tor anytime viewers want to listen to those joining us live at jro radio and uh we're here in kugar Hills New York in the Young Israel of kugar hills for and we're speaking about the Y of p and and we have something incredible we know that uh we like here to speak out the far of the a number of years ago the uh gave me a wonderful gift maybe the best present I ever got all this form of the so I didn't even know this but the wrote six on wow I just saw the volume has there actually six different from in the past we've quoted only one of them so today we're going to quote from all the other five haos of the something quite amazing now I hope you remember Wednesday night Shear Wednesday night Shear was about the number what 216 216 well we're we're in the mode of numbers and an amazing thing if you look we know P the is after the we recite and as well as shab the that we lay in is and how many in we have a we have a Simon at the end of sh 117 how do remember that the way to remember that is well Ken is this is considered 117 okay so that's the number of the question is why are there um 117 PIM in in um so the of um the is sort of the father of of Bells but goes well before before there's any any even origins of kidos he lived he was the chief Rabbi of Amsterdam in fact um he was such a widely respected uh personality that they minted a coin with his picture on it then says that he saw the coin and it was considered a big honor and he wrote a pish on MN ala and in his to the deals with why are there in fact 117 not more and not less what's the significance well very interesting there's one reason that's already well known in my name in all the everything scho did he did in threes so for example he wrote and he was also had many horses had too many wives he also had too much money okay so he had first two I understand right well he he collected too many horses too many wives and too much money we also find that activities were similar to his father just like his father was he was also so the ma say like this anyone who says Shir on a that happens to them all of his sins are forgiven and we find that after the that he moved them away from their sins so listen to thisav and they both sang they are both now how many violate three three times so each how many malas are you supposed to get 397 39 * 3 is right so 117 and through when you sing a you're so it comes out perfectly he was supposed to get 117 malus and he was n through the 117 Su of but wait a second the T says how many malus do you get 40 so the question isote the rabbis the the on who so how start is one is another two why am I singing three songs because I'm 117 really should be20 what's the next the words of the rabbis are more beloved than the wine of T why praising the rabbis has to start off by the way you want to know why am I only runting 117 thank goodness for those rabbis who diminish my punishment from 4039 this way I was able to save the time of having to write an extra three so you don't ask and that's why sh gives credit to the rabbis at the beginning of sh okay so this is a very beautiful explanation for why has 117 suim but like we like to do we're going to say another explanation for why there are 117 in based on five different of the okay so if you felt that in the past we haven't given sufficient focus on the well let's put put that to rest today okay so first perish on so what does the say says let's explain the sh of the writes in his commentary to the Torah now you have to know the commentary of the Torah Ra was not published until the 20th century so how does the know what ra wrote the was a great man but he had not he did not invent the time machine so how did know what only was publish in 20th century he says he saw it in the manuscript form okay what is right that we were in not 4:30 and not 400 and not 216 and not 86 like we've explained in the past but 117 years a new number the she is 117 years and what do I have to say about that and me in my poverty I wrote he got it he hit a nail on and not only that VRA from the death of Ley until we left M 117 years now you'll ask okay who cares that from the death of Ley until we left M it's 117 years what do the death of Ley got to do with the sh so let's just take a look at number 10 the a says rash as long as one of are alive so when y died in all the brothers that's only then the new king of Egypt arose so who outlived all the so we have aash quoting that the she would not begin until the death of the and the sh that outli the others was Ley that means the Shiva did not begin until the death of Ley okay now we have to try to figure out then how many years was it from the death of Ley until he left m continues this is what the asks meaning the tum sitting around the table on and he sees his mother's been shitzen away for the last four months and everybody is you know his father's been working overtime to pay the bills so that everybody could look nice and that there should be a nice table set and everybody's been you know putting in the hard work to prepare for and the tum is sitting there like a little he says I don't get the whole thing we're celebrating God took us he told us he's going to take us out of so if he told us he's going to take us out of what's the big deal so therefore so therefore the question of the Tom is what's the big deal that he took took us ad he promised that he's going to take us ad you're making a mistake why cuz you think we were there 400 years no is 11 117 yeah God told us he can take but he could have taken us an after 400 why did he he took us out early he took us out in other words the what are you making such a big deal he took cuz he told us no spell no spelled it doesn't need a and then it would be 123 there's no 123 it's 117 400 years if you're M it's only 117 andem figured out how to get us out in 117 years fine so I got a little curious what is the marar that we were in for 117 years so the says it's in so I figured let me look it up you know whenever you look things up good things happen so I looked up S parag and lo and behold says therefore say when one of the brothers die all the brothers should worry one of the members of dies everyone should worry exactly 116 years so it works out beautifully right one the only problem is it's not like what the says says 117 years and that's why and if you actually look up the say it's 16 now if you want to be off by one you're all to be off by one but at least the should tell us that uh it's only 116 so I figured let me look up other versions of s so I looked up that was in a tuin test Zion Edition so that's something published in but everybody knows that as the generations go on more and more mistakes crept in so I looked up the 1905 Edition and the 1905 and behold I said oh well it's still 116 but luckily I looked on the bottom and there's a be the says it's a and the says it's should be 117 so the probably had an original version that was more correct the correct version of is 117 yeah okay so let's move on so we did the of now the wrote another it's called we went down to what does say don't spoil I know I know I give you credit know it's my fault I you know I let it out I the in his commentary it says not the rash it's the G the word is 117 and with this we could explain the question of the time again he says the time's question is what's the big took us out he had to take us out the answer is the is that he took us out zad after years so when it says that the the new parro came and they created a problem yeah okay okay let's continue so we were in M7 years the same way we said that there is a significance to the fact that we were in MIM 216 remember we said 72 * 3 three generations that's why Dari you're Mar of MIT because they kept us for three generations why were 117 years right big things are not coincidence so why taka were we in MIT 117 years so I came across last year here a little contr called may offer Kumi written by rabi Ronin shahani yeah famous he's a famous M who I don't know who he is he's he's an AR maybe but I got his contr but I opened it up and I saw something amazing and I sort of marked it up in my and I put it away and a nest happened that I actually remembered that I had something you know something from last year and he quotes the mayor of we know the reason for for was because we sold who Y how old was y when we sold him well y was the 17 and how old was he when he became king of Egypt 39 he was 22 years he no he was he was 30 I think 30 well that means he was in jail for 13 years and how many of theim sold y well ruen was not involved and Bam was not involved and Y also was not involved so out of the 12 how many of them were involved nine and nine of them are responsible for 13 years of Y being in jail 13 * 9 is now this is not spoiling if you answer 117 come on everybody 117 13 years he was in prison times the N brother respons years toal so the 13 years that he was in prison times the N 117 years why were 117 years because exactly that as long as Le was alive was not so from the time of Le's death until they left 117 years how who says but it says 116 you got to look at the gr gear so the is um 117 cuz Ley was 44 when he went down to MIM he lived 137 years 93- 210 is what so let's get that Ley was what 44 when he came down to M and 137 years when he died so he was 93 years in m and the Sheba did not start until he died that means the real Sheba was 210 minus 93 117 because at the time of M there only nine there ruin wasn't there wasn't there was in 13 years before he became king * 13 117 and how he look how he ends it's a one right if we're not going to say so so at least he is when they say does that mean when we really had to work very hard until then things were may not great but they weren't we weren't real them yes as compared to the 86 that we learn we're going to talk about the 86 Monday we'll get back to the 86 so now we have a whole we have 430 400 216 117 86 okay so in the he brings that amazingly when Ru came to the bar says was being to his brother because we're going to be stuck with enoo of course says gatria 117 that's how long they were in okay well says in another the third for the day that may be another way of looking at it is yov went down only because hasem said so he didn't ask questions how could I go I don't want to leave hasm told him to go I'm says you follow my word as if you're honest 117 then all you have to be there is 117 years says if you look in the in the beginning of shabas he tries to explain how many 117 and we know speaks about G and we know after we read we know has how many 117 and everybody wants to know why does sh have 117 you know why has 117 cuz guess how long we were in for based on the based on the the years that's not only because violated three times but also because that's how long we were he gives a reason why scho said 17 and why we say it on shabas he says beautiful things but says the by the way the's yard side I believe is coming up talks about the like it says instead of one instead of being a 430 years really it became 21 and then says say why is there a rem in the to teach that God made it years that are shorten chopped up years that are so you'll ask what's the significance of 117 we know mid is what 86 Alim but how do you say elim is 86 even though you know somebody once went to a Tish and he said what are you hear on the Tish the RAB is saying 8686 he I don't understand the C alone is 100 yeah but 86 86 Kim is 86 but what's 117 we know kale is is 31 and kale and elim guess what they add up to 117 says that good that was good or 26 instead of 31 you can't have cake any just be happy that we we got out you know 5 years less be 5 years less 31 let's see one more thing that he says he says Fine say that we know the number 430 is 5 times elim and the the real intent sh was 86 years from the time was born elim andem changed over so let's learn like this who is the last of the was 117 years so calculate the shikim which is the k so what's 86 plus wait 112 112 plus another four can the instead of the four you get 117 in other words you wanted to use the trick of the get out early so so so you could 26 years 6 + 86 is 112 plus the four hav that were transformed from plus that's 117 but the first we'll stick with the first one the first one is very good kale elim is 11 17 so now RAB like we said Wednesday night you know if one like the say remember we said if if 216 is such a significant number then at least right we said that there should be a rem somewhere in the ha and we said where's the best place to be Mame is 216 the very first words of the which are which is gatria 216 well now that we're saying 117 well you would expect then that if 117 is such a prominent number after all 9 * 13 and K You' expect you know we should get some serious real estate for the number 117 well says like we said on Wednesday there is no better Real Estate than the very first words of what are the first words of but we said is 216 you can't I mean it's one thing if we said it a month ago then you know but we just said it well says in two more so we did five k the five Kim which are 430 we did and we did and we did now we're adding says Al B 35 105 109 110 111 113 [Music] like it says 116 these are the years and we have to do a says it in the sh was 117 years like it says in s that after the of Le that all the died there were 17 years RAB during those 117 years who was with us in our who felt our pain who is together with us 117 I 116 is 117 is also 117 so if you want to to know what kind of real estate do the numbers get 117 and one more thing we have a who wrote says was written by none other than but the author has to sign his name in the beginning that's right youve just experienced another Torah class brought
