successive generations following the
footsteps of these great families who
are very dear to me. So now we start
you have to give give from whom
Whoever has a generous heart and this
leads us to ask the following question
about a donation. There's a b whose name
is 15 years old. His friend Shim need
needs a kidney donation. Needs a kidney.
Wuven says I want to donate my kidney,
one of my kidneys to my friend Shiman,
but he's only 15 years old.
Can we receive a donation from a
15year-old of one of his kidneys? Does
he even understand what that entails?
What it means? If he is 8 years old, do
we all agree it doesn't even start?
Great. He's 15 years. He's 4 years old
and he wants to give a kidney. Would you
take it? I don't think so. He's eight.
You're not sure. 15 years old. When he's
30, we'll say yes. Right. What's the cut
off line? When did we say ah 15? Wait a
little. Wait three more years. Wait 20
more years. At 15 years old, can we
receive his donation or no?
>> If you were not sure about the eight
year old, you you're certain about the
15, right? You have no problem with
that.
>> What's that?
>> Do you understand what it means to give
a kidney when you're 15?
>> Parents have good parents.
>> No parents around. He's on his own. It's
an orphan. A 15year-old calls his own
child. I'm 15y old. What do you want for
me? mitzvah.
>> You're saying there's no issue.
>> I say after mitzvah.
>> After 13 in a minute, you go and give as
many kidneys as you want.
>> Doctor, what do you say?
>> You have to BE 20 TO
>> AH, that's where we're coming from.
I'm sorry.
>> I'm going to tell you what he said.
In order to sell land that one inherits
from his father, he must be 20 years
old. Complete 20 years and two hairs.
Before that, you can't sell land that
you inherited from your father.
>> Anywhere
>> anywhere,
>> anywhere.
You're above,
but you still have to wait seven more
years. 20 complete years and two years
or a matas not your father somebody else
gave you he's about to die he gives you
a matana of a is called you're not
allowed to sell it theor copies the raam
who explains why that is even if this
kid is very very sharp he's in business
for a few years already HE BUYS AND
SELLS LAND ALL THE TIME HE'S not allowed
to sell the land that he inherited from
his father because kids under the age of
Right? They go after the earthly
desires. I want to having fun now. He
may sell land which is worth a ton of
money and he's going to buy the newest I
don't know MP3 scooter whatever is hot
today and in two years from now all the
money evaporated. The kid doesn't have
theam says
he is not 100% yet understanding how
this world works. You have to wait until
you're 20 years old.
Which means a young man who goes after
fun things may be drawn after them and
switch something which has a lot of
value like land for money that loses its
value and depreciates over time.
He's a kas. Instead of buying something
which is important, something which will
appreciate with time, he may do u the
opposite. So much so that actually
discusses whether this is a or
it could be that it's at a level which
means it gives us less room to play with
this regarding sale. What about giving a
gift?
>> Writes giving a gift if he is above the
age of 13 even though he's under 20. We
don't we don't care. Why? Because says
one doesn't give a gift unless he
receives some kind of a hana. You have
to assume this 14 16 18 19 even though
he's above but he's under the age of 20.
Why did he give a gift? Because he got
something from a person and therefore he
is just giving back. So it's not st he
loses his he loses his mind and he's
giving something strange in our case
there would be room to say
not to receive this gift the kidney
donation because the of the
is not
says don't receive a gift because why
does he give a gift because he got
something he didn't get anything his
friend is in need he didn't receive
anything so when you didn't receive
anything
we cannot receive a gift from
to permit us to receive a gift from a
kid like this doesn't apply here. Does
he really understand under the age of 20
what a surgery entails? The danger? Do
you understand what it is? You don't
understand that when you're 15 years old
like this, you don't understand that.
However,
this sh came to
says there's a big difference between a
kid who decides to send land and that's
what the discusses and a young b who
wants to donate a kidney.
When one wants to sell land, who knows
what he's going to do with the money?
He's going to go on a big trip all over
the world and spend all the money. Who
knows what he's buying? But when one
wants to donate a kidney, what is he
doing?
He is buying himself a gigantic share in
the world to come. He is switching
something which has much greater value
than he's giving eternity.
So you can't compare it. And this will
be true
regarding a young person
who will sell some countries maybe
perhaps will allow you to do this to
sell a kidney. So over there he's
switching it for money. Then we have the
same problem that we said before. You
don't understand what you're doing. You
don't understand the value of things.
You're giving a kidney for some money.
It's the wrong exchange. But if a bah
wants to donate a kidney to save his
friend's life that you can you can rely
on this kid once he's over the age of 13
and this kid is 15.
And maybe you can even say maybe we can
actually plug it into the
says his gift is valid because one
doesn't give a gift unless he receives
something. This guy's going to receive
something. He's going to receive honor
and his name is probably going to be all
papers. You know, this 15year-old said
it's also something. It's also
something. So, he is exchanging it for
something and it's not just giving a
gift. But even without it, you don't
need that because what he's doing is a
tremendous mitzvah. He's saving a life
of his friend. And therefore, said
that this will be valid. We can accept
it once he's over the age of 13. We also
have to add that today there's not too
much danger in this type of a surgery.
Every surgery entails some danger but
minimal minimal risk and there's no
obligation to give a kidney but one who
does is a big sadic and aid and it's a
great thing to do and um the only loss
of this kid is he's going to be
uncomfortable for a few days for a few
weeks. He's going to be in the hospital
and potentially if in the future his
kidney that he has now, the remaining
kidney will stop operating, he's going
to have a problem. But you don't have to
worry about this thing. It's a
tremendous mitzvah to donate a kidney.
One doesn't is not obligated to do so,
but it is a tremendous mitzvah. And we
must point out that throughout the
entire world, the biggest group
statistically that donates kidneys al
that the entire world, it's a tremendous
tremendous kidm. And one who does that
is involved in this is a it's a great
mitzvah.
>> Yeah. Renewal
renewal organization in New York. It's
called renewal.
>> Renewal in New York. There's also one
here.
>> Yeah.
>> Since we're talking about sales, let's
ask.
We said that one cannot sell land that
he inherited from his father if he is
under the age of 20. Right.
Great. How is it possible that one guess
he didn't listen to us. He sold land. If
he sold it when he was
17 years old, the sale is not valid as
we just said. But if we find that he
sold it when he was 14 years old, it's
valid. Very strange. Again, two
witnesses come and say, "We know exactly
when the sale was. We said you're not
allowed to sell land under the age of
20. So if you're older, 17, 18, we will
say the sale is not valid because you
always said, "Oh, but you're only 14."
Oh, so sale is valid. Can it be?
>> Because of the age. It's not
>> What's that?
>> Because of the age.
>> The sale is the same cell.
>> It's the same sale.
>> Same.
>> But I'm telling you that I found out you
did IT AT 14. 14 AND A HALF. 15. SO IT'S
GOOD. 17. No good. SHANOS IS UNDER 20.
So you would assume that 17 is better
than 14. And yet
>> good deal.
>> Fantastic deal. But didn't say
parenthesis. Good deal. You can do it.
>> Said that his brothers also sold it.
Like
>> said you can't do it if you're under 20.
didn't say anything about your brothers
and sisters.
>> There's no extra details and conditions
there. It says don't do it. Stay away.
It's a quotes it can 17y old be confused
with a 21y old.
>> What do you mean?
>> The buyer is the buyer.
>> The buyer looked at you and so how old
are you? 17. How old are you? 14. 17.
Not valid. You sold it when you were 14.
Valid.
>> No babies. SURE. YOU GO. You went
against and we said it's okay.
>> Say he has another debt
$1,000 and he owes $1,000.
>> He is not allowed to engage in business
regarding a land that he inherited.
What can you do against it?
>> No.
No.
Doesn't say that. Maybe in your edition
it doesn't
kind of crime a certain crime.
>> Which crime is that? Doesn't say that.
>> So again,
>> he has an epic.
>> No, no, no. Apotopus. He himself went
when he's 17. He himself went when he's
14. 17, no good. He's right because said
no good. 14. Fine.
You have to assume that this applies to
Jewish people
not to him.
>> Why the
one is 13 years old that's
says only applies to us says what about
going when are
so says it depends each person according
to his when he starts understanding. So
go is six years old and he's smart. He
understands things. 8 n 10 11 what is it
has to do with 13 because 13 is a
measure given only to us.
So if this kid was 14 years old as a
and he sold it it's valid. At 15 years
old he went and converted.
If he sold it at 17 no good said no. So
at 17 as a Jew no good. But if you find
out they inherited it when he was a
and he sold it at 14 when he was still a
that will be val it it could be some
opinions say that this will go for go as
well because go after the reason explain
to us what the reason before the age of
20 of to understand what you're doing
and you may exchange the land for
something which is foolish so that will
apply to but according to according
to normal understanding that this is
only to Jewish people. So if you he was
14 when he sold it, it will be valid
when he was a 17 as a yid. It won't
be valid. By the way, there are
countries today that also limit selling
land. Uh UAE, Nigeria only 21
and many many countries has to do with
legal adulthood which means at the age
of 18 some countries US binding country
you can only enter when you're 18. other
countries 18 19 20 21 in the in that
range many many countries will limit it
the basis already right
bas that many countries limit the age
until the age of 24 that was in his time
so it's not such a strange thing I don't
know why other countries do it but we
know why why we do it because the
explained to us why
call
mdashd
gives us a chance to speak about
writes
if you're involved in building
you will see you built you will see we
built
writes that the furniture in the shul
and the building of the shul is compared
to the ba mikdesh. There's a reason why
the bea is always in the middle of the
shul and he talks about every single
item in the shul and the way to build to
construct the shul and he says that
comparable to mdash. So it's no
coincidence when you go to sh and many
most sh have the same thing
and there's a reason behind it
does the same thing and they compare the
building of the sh to the building of
bdash
we always understand it to mean when
should you seek
when he is near
as if the king is walking in the feel
was say but there's another I think it's
a little less known
and say not when but where
and where is he found
that's year long it's not just not just
even in the middle of is always found in
the that's where he hangs out in the and
in the best medish
And if a person sinned,
he's full
very encouraging inac
14 years ago. Today 15 years ago, that's
how you remember the
easy to remember because most of them
are like the years especially when you
get to it's like our years. So
he says compare it to a to a river just
like if a person is impure and he jumps
into the river and he comes out and he's
100% pure so too. If a person goes to
the sh and he is full of a and he comes
out full of mitzvah and the sh purifies
you like the mik purifies those who are
impure. Amazingly
come one who comes to the sh will get
longevity just for coming to
again the same place we reported before
in
says one who in the it's as if he
brought a that's the language of the why
it's an you went to a pure vessel that
is the sh so it's as if you brought a
because when you d It's comparable to
bringing
so you bring it in a pure vessel
which after all this leads us question
is a person who was watching over a sick
person he's helping him he's in the
hospital and he wants to know more is in
his house
should I make an effort to go David in
the shul I'm not talking it comes on on
of the guy who was who's in bed of
course not he's sleeping now we know
he's going to sleep for an hour do I
have to have
to go to the shul and d when I can d
here what's the advantage of dvening by
the sick person
is there with the
there with a sick person. So why am I
going to sh because the is there we just
said the is always there. Great. But the
is also here. So why should I burn
myself?
Excuse me. Going to the sh to get the is
right here. Any Indian to go to the sh
when you're already involved with and
the is right there.
>> Never heard of an Indian go to a circus
person's house there. Unless the person
is asking for a minion as a test. I
never heard like like a like a
like like a debate like where should we
go this time Korea? Go to their house.
>> What's the proof to what you're saying?
If there was such a thing, they were
already in another school. Instead of
going TO KADIKIM, WE'RE GOING OUT TO THE
HOSPITAL TO THIS AND THIS DEPARTMENT ALL
the will come and they will down FOR YOU
BY THE
we never heard of the thing, right? Yet
wait, it's coming maybe after this year.
Very creative. You must give me very
creative. But
is extremely important. So important
that the
base has that if a person
and then he found a minion he should
have again.
Sorry.
says
compared to
it's as if you didn't love him
says if you ask
for whatever that it is that you need
but you do so in Aramaic
the don't help you why they don't help
you they don't understand Aramaic and
different languages they're not very
good at Aramaic comes at the and he
brings in the name of who's the
and he says it's not that the Gor wants
to say that angels don't understand a
word in Aramaic
They do. But when they see a person
who's dvening in Aramaic, they say,
"Nah, we're not going to use this
dvening to bring it up."
But
if you're dvening, you can use any
language that you want, including
Aramaic. And he says, "And so
by the so too by the sick person
again says the same thing." And the
reason because of what the says that
theina is found by a sick person if the
is there the angels can take the
take it up to even though you're using
the wrong language and with that
said in we say some things in Aramaic
right we say
an individual doesn't say it but
who is a who's a sick person since is
right there. He can say it. Same idea
for which one doesn't say when he dens
by himself. But if he's a sick person,
there's many opinions that he can say it
because the is right there. It's like
you're dening.
>> What if he's in the minion but um they
said it beforehand or after him? Is that
is that considered or
not? As long as the as long as the
laning didn't start, you can still say
the yakukan even though they already
finished saying it. But you're a bit you
can still say it until the laning
started.
>> That would be like rich man offer.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
However,
we're saying it it's the same thing by
just like it's not you're missing the
the more people around the more
beautifification to the king and
contrary to popular belief. We normally
understand that going to the is that
part is true. But when you go to the you
have a chance to do
that is when you answer
when you answer
since you're doing it with 10 men it's
considered a
so the reason to go to is to
but when you do so by default you also
are gaining that you won't be able to do
when you're staying with the sick person
or the sick person himself and it could
be that this whole that say that the is
there is a big to where the is there
that's regarding this patient that he
should be healed but not other things
not related and when you go to Davin you
ask for a lot of different things not
related to this sick person and
therefore one should go to shul of
course we're not talking about it comes
on the account of the sick person he's
going to stay and say I'm sorry I have
to go to sh that you don't do you don't
leave the sick person poor Yeah, he
needs your help. I'm sorry. Oh, you see
we meet some in a mitzvah and there's a
big mitzvah. But if you know for a fact
he went to sleep or somebody else is
switching just using the argument but
the is here that doesn't work. One
should go to the because of all the
sources that we saw is an unbelievable
per of
the son of
Ishmael is sick very sick right? So
and whom do listen to
and the person says why you know why
the angel speaks to says don't worry
listen to why
we normally understand it to mean
because is there listen to say what it
says here WHO BECAUSE there is right
there next to the sick person's bed. So
listen to his prayer because he's right
there. He give
that's yeah
>> he said that he knows that he couldn't
sleep for an hour so he goes to shoot
but let's say he gets up in the middle.
So he
>> let's talk about a case that you have
somebody else who can step in. We're not
talking when it comes into the account
on the patient that we're not
discussing. Of course if you know any
second he may wake up and he's going to
need you don't leave. But if you know
for a fact somebody else came instead of
you said why should I go is right here
should go to show that
in
writes a remarkable thing he says here
I'm warning you make sure you only
why he says even
the greatest
can't say you know I always have kavana
in my always do to have kavana. I don't
remember even once not having kavana
there such thing. If that's the case, if
you don without kavana, he calls it,
it's as if you brought a kban that has
some kind of a dis disqualification
that fill doesn't ascend. It stays
somewhere hovering in the air of the
best madish of the shoe.
Later at one point you will have a good
Dvening next week in a year from now in
many years from now when you finally
have a good Ding with Kavana all those
that got stuck in the air of the sh will
be able to move up toes. But that only
happens in the not at home. Why says
that I'll tell you why
says if you have a cob and you bring it
with a wrong you have a problem you
disqualify the
but if it's already in the
if it happens while it's already great
keep it there but if you had the wrong
before no good so if you're in the is
like a like a misb if it happens in the
kesh
It will stay there until one day you'll
come with is going to take all your
pills and take them up there. But if you
d in a different place
and therefore he warns
make sure you d only if you think it's
of it's not just of you have a slew of
coalition
brings from the that some gets stuck
until a good comes with and takes him
up. The y says the same thing and the y
says
even from a few years and then a good
comes and takes everything along with
it. The kavayasha writes the same thing.
The mus writes the same thing. The
writes the same thing.
He can have this should always have all
close to impossible but but
didn't have kavana that will get stuck
there. The next will be with Kavana and
takes the not so good along with it all
the way up to Shah the same.
>> What's that?
>> The same.
>> I don't think so. You're trying to limit
it. I'm trying to give a You're trying
to bring I don't think so. I don't think
so.
>> All are connected.
What should you do if they broke down
the shoe? They closed it. They sold it.
You have nowhere to What about like
Phyllis? You go to the shoe, put a bag,
pull it, take it to the next shoe. the
next time you have it or go up
since we're talking about I'm
remembering now I once went to
z I spent some time in his house then I
left the house and I went
to to a
think
my friend of Islam was grandson so I'm
sitting there and the gabi of comes in I
just saw him 10 minutes ago by so I'm
joking with her I said what did I miss
after I left. It was just 10 minutes
ago. He said, "Oh boy, did you miss
something?" What did I miss? So, I'll
tell you an old man in his 90s comes
comes into the prime 2 minutes after you
left and sits him down right next to
him. Says, "Reb."
But it comes with a question. So, he
tells him, "When I was very young, I
think I was 8 years old and my brother
was six. My father used to take us every
single morning to Dav Shak with
one day we misbehaved.
So our father told us tomorrow morning
I'm not taking you to Davin with the and
we got so upset we wanted to go D with
you have to pause here
to that father that this is what his
kids want. We want to d with at that
age. So he says to you know what we did?
We took our father's shoes. Put them
away. The father gets up in the morning.
He looks for his shoes. Where? Where are
my shoes? WHERE ARE MY SHOES? WHERE ARE
MY SHOES? DADDY, YOU WANT YOUR SHOES?
Only if you agree to take us to the
They gave him back the shoes. He took
him to loved them. I said, "Sister,
what's the sh?" He says, "Reb do we have
to do cha?"
This is 80 something years ago, 90 years
ago. I was 8 years old, my brother was 6
years old. Do we have to do tr we stole
from my father we we got our father
upset the dismisses he said no it's okay
it's fine it's fine I don't know
encouraging other kids to do that after
the m say it's fine maybe in fact that
was the that's what the father wanted
maybe to test I don't know said no but
like your story I think that we should
all d that this should be our sins that
we stole from our father the shoes
because we really wanted to go d with
god in his minion I think it's a great
sin to have
You see a dirty tissue in the shoe. Who
should pick it up?
>> Any first person.
>> The first person. Even you. Who told
you? I'll tell you who tells you
brings that.
Who's that? We said before the
rashi used to sweep right in front of
used to sweep the floor of the sh with
his beard. I guess he had a long beard
and he used to sweep the floor of the sh
right in front of the kesh with his
beard. So I think to bend down and to
pick up a tissue from the from the sh
that's something even we can do
another
donated a beautiful to the beautiful
so how do you chew up for this? I'm
sorry for this told him you have to do
for this. You don't have to. It's fine.
Don't have to do the cha.
Luven donated a beautiful paw for the
aan kesh gorgeous
golden letters his name his wife's name
is beautiful
sometime later got divorced
he goes to the gaba says get my wife's
name off the I come here I see my name
NEXT TO HER I CAN'T I CAN'T have any
that's disgusting do me a favor take my
wife's I don't need it I'm asking you
now to remove my wife's name there's a
way to do It's not going to There's a
way to do it. No problem. The Gabby
asks, should he do Should he take it off
or not?
Yes. No. No. Why not? I can't see. I
don't It's my money. I can't see my name
next to her. She used to be my wife. Now
she's my enemy. Why not?
>> It's not his once he gave it away. Once
he deleted it, he has no
>> So you don't care that every single time
he comes here, he has no he can't d when
he sees these two names together and
together. It doesn't work. He can't have
kav. He is the one who deed it to the
shul.
Well, you want to go against him in
spite. Oh, I'll show you.
>> All right. What's the reason to keep it
there?
>> To keep what?
>> To keep her name on. Is there even a
reason to keep it on? She doesn't GO
THERE. SHE'S
>> RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT says
>> take it off.
>> But two seconds ago, he said no.
>> Learning from the rock.
>> Oh, no. You have to say however.
>> However, they got both names.
>> I'm sorry.
>> They got both names.
>> I WANT MY NAME. I DONATED IT. IT'S VERY
EXPENSIVE. I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THE
MONEY.
>> Maybe when they donated, they donated
from maybe the wife.
It was my money. Whatever my wife owns
is mine. I donated it. I want her name
off.
>> I don't hear the argument to keep it
all.
>> What did you hear before when you did
hear it?
>> No, I don't.
>> Good. Good.
That's a great person. That's a sign of
a great person.
says a person is willing to say you know
I changed my mind but used to come many
times in he was fine and other says what
I told you yesterday
I made a mistake that's a sign of a
great person what you saying I'm not
saying you're right
I don't want to be right
>> yes what is it what's the benefit of
leaving it on the benefit is that is
there some food for the wife still cuz
then it would be I don't know if

writes in I think that there is an
Indian he brings it from the is an
Indian to beim or you say mitzvah he did
a mitzvah he wants publicity whether for
his ego or to encourage others whatever
reason he's entitled to but I DON'T WANT

>> WANTS HER TO MY MONEY I DON'T WANT HER
there
Kadusha the bar. It has some kadusha.
Can we do things with it?
>> So take the the thread the golden thread
that you use your name and put it in
visa.
>> There's no there's no
visa. What's the problem?
>> Where's this pro? What are you going to
do with it? You're going to take
something a different one, right? What
are you going to do with the old one?
>> Yes. No.
No. What?
No opinion. Or don't take the name off.
Don't take the name off.
>> Not sure. Yoshif says the husband is
right. It makes a lot of sense that you
can't see your name next ex-wife and
therefore he can remove the name. You
know WHICH NAME? HIS NAME. YOU WANT TO
REMOVE A NAME? REMOVE YOUR OWN NAME.
You gave her a gift back then when you
gave it. You can't uproot now the gift
that you gave her. Finish. The is hers.
If you want to remove a name, no
problem. Remove your own name.
That's the third answer.
What's that?
>> Yeah. The one had the kim, right? Kuim,
what's the image of the kim? What do
they look like?
>> Children.
>> Children. What age?
>> Six, seven.
>> Six, seven. Who told you that?
>> Not four or five.
That's a bash. We only have 10 opinions.
>> I found 10 opinions. What's that?
>> Let's see.
And
of Vienna say bulls the image of bulls
it's not kids
different meaning different animals
another opinion he says it was like two
lads
and he says more accurately to sayim
kids I don't know what age he doesn't
say six or
I don't know what
the says
the shape of of a man
face of a baby and they have wings
attached to them.
A few opinions. One of them it's two
kuim, right? One of them, an adult. The
other one, a little kid. Doesn't say
what age, a little kid. The other
opinion
one is a shape of a man and the other
shape of a woman
in
I'm sorry in berious because this refers
to the mentioned also regarding and over
there it says that they would switch
from shape to shape sometimes they work
like men sometimes like women sometimes
like spirits and sometimes like angels
and these showing you look like a bird
with wings and the face of a man.
Half a bird, half a man. Nine different
opinions. But there's another opinion
and one opinion and that is the
he says the had right after that says
it was the image of two friends sitting
and learning to
what's the message in that
what do most people have hanging in
their house living room in the bedroom
what picture
a nice view from somewhere they they
went to or that they aspired to go to
something that they want to remember
their wedding
>> mitzvah
I'm not so sure it's a great idea even
though a lot of people do it doesn't
really make sense IN CASE I DIVORCE YOU
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET NOT SO
sure you want to hang it on your wall
but some people do for some reason not
sure why but most people put a picture
of something which is dear to them
something which awakens a certain memory
or they want to impress other people for
whatever reason with that
What does a kesh put in his bedroom?
The holiest place in the world that a
person can enter and no one can enter
only. What does decide? What picture is
if decides to put in the most important
place in the world a picture of two guys
sitting and learning to because to him
that is the most important thing in the
world and anyone before he goes to learn
has to think about it. I'm doing now
finds so dear that he puts it as a
picture in
a different type of we're leaving soon
we'll see why we're asking this
little kids and he says you know the
best way to teach children questions and
answers games
That's why
everything is questions and answers.
That's why some people steal the man to
engage the kids. It's the best way to
teach and for people to retain. Right.
Right. So this says to do some kind of a
of a game, play with the kids, a raffle,
something to excite them. He saw in
coffee.
What's coffee?
Coffee simmon. Let's still remember
what's coffee
writes. You should know there's no pes
there's no ending pay in the entire
benching. Do you notice that when you
bench there is no pay ending pay why is
that anyone who will say benching with
kavana
and these are devastating angels cannot
rule over that person
there's a lot of with ending pay so to
allude to the person who says benching
as he should they can't touch HIM
THERE'S NO PACE OF ether the hater
brings from the tashb is one of
writes I have a kabala from my so this
is a who says I have a kabala from mybis
anyone who articulates benching
will never lack parasa
so this after seeing this these sources
decided to play a game with the kids
he goes into class and he says do you
guys know that there is no pesopy
There's no ending fee in in benching.
Whoever can find a pace of it will get
$20. And he holds a $20 bill and he says
if you find a pace of it in benching
there is no. And the kids looked and
looked and of course there is no pace of
feet. So he started explain to them you
know why? Because the hat brings some of
the tits that can rule over a person who
says it and says everybody was very
excited. Now they got a excitement about
benching. You know what? But while he's
saying it, one of the kids says, "REB, I
FOUND A PIECE OF FEET IN BENCHING." And
the Reb says, "Sorry, it doesn't exist."
He says, "But Rebe, I have it in my I
don't know what version you're using. In
my there is a piece of feet." And the
Reb says, "Impossible,
Rebe, I have it in my can you show me?"
And the kid comes close. And in fact in
po and that's why I'm asking this
question we sayim and wanted to destroy
ALL THE JEWS YOUNG AND OLD tough in one
day what is tough little kids tough pay
there is ending pay in benching can I
get the $20 please
you said there isn't an ending pay pes
in benching there is I just found one
tough venim
toughest bill with a pitb $20.
The is asking does he have to pay or
not? A whole big argument started in
class. WELL, HEY IS NOT PART OF BENCHING
IS a part of benching. It's in my
sitter. It's in your sitter. It's in his
sitter. It's part of benching. It's not
part of benching. We only say
>> and
we only say it in. It's not part of two
days a year. One day for you, one day
for me
doesn't have to pay.
>> Doesn't have to pay. Does he miss it?
>> What?
>> If he misses it,
>> if you forgot to say, you don't have to
repeat. But it's part of benching.
>> Ah, so it's say is also not part of
bench because we don't repeat. We don't
we don't come back. So it's not part of
benching.
Maybe not.
>> So it is part of benching the first and
second meal and not on Thursday and
Wednesday. But how does that work? It's
interesting what you say. $10 maybe. BUT
YOU'RE SAYING THAT'S NOT PART of
10.
how he said the question
>> if you're going to find a pace of feet
in benching I'm going to I found it
>> mean like on daily benching in like
>> in benching I didn't say it if I would
say on daily bes
in good but I didn't say it I said there
is you should know in benching there is
no pay
>> I think you would
>> you have to pay because it's a part of
benching but it says you don't have to
you don't have to come back and
compensate if you miss it so it seems
that it's not a part of benching
It's part of benching.
>> It is part of benjing.
>> Yeah, it's part of
>> it is part of benching. You have to pay.
He doesn't have to pay. But
>> why? Why he said it's part of benjing?
>> Why didn't he play? Why?
>> Because because he met obviously he
didn't mean that.
He meant part of
>> So you're not responsible for what you
say.
>> It's because he's quoting from
true they what they mean.
>> And the kids say that mist whatever
you're quoting from is wrong. That's
what he meant was but he has to pay. I
I'll
>> I'm not yet. I'm talking about dean.
What is the dean? What's the I have to
pay or not?
>> He didn't mean he didn't mean that.
>> You don't mean you don't have to pay.
You commit it in front of everybody
that you do that. Ah, you're send
I'm making a commitment to pay but I
don't have and that happens many times
when a person I'll make a bet let's take
a bet I know for a fact that I'm right
that's why I'm willing to take a bet I
don't want to lose my money so I don't
have
and then writes
I don't have to pay unless this was done
in front of a based in u then you would
have to pay or you did it um when YOU
SAY FOR NOW I'm committing myself not
we're going to find out later so if you
do it or you have to put otherwise it's
an
but there's three more reasons why he
doesn't have to pay is one second one
when you say to a kid I'm going to give
you a
And then you retract. Are you called?
You're a person that we cannot trust.
When you commit to an adult to give a
matana and you don't you're it's not a
very great title to carry. Not very
good. And are telling you which means it
comes with a comes with a curse.
We don't want that. But when you commit
to a kid who's 5 years old, I'm going to
give you a gift. And then you don't I
think the first one who deals with the
jubis is the kilos. Who's the kilos?
>> Not the stipler. I'm talking 350 years
ago before the stipul many with the name
of that's gazi. He was from the rabbis
of Ismir in Turkey and then he was the
chief rabbi rabbi in
his in his
what he's called. He says you're not is
no problem. But he himself in the quotes
the comes a little before him that says
you have to give the kid and you are
he writes in sal that you do have to
give the kid and if you don't you are
and there I'm sorry exactly the opposite
of what I said there
and say you can retract no problem
IN HIS SAYS NO YOU CANNOT but but he
What's the that says that you don't have
to? So the can say I hold like I hold
like and I don't have to pay the kid.
Second answer. Third, anytime you have a
condition
that is just like in Simmon smell in
your when we learn about we don't go
after what you said. We go after your
kavana. And if it's clear to us that you
never intended to pay and you said it
just because you saw it in the bay who
brings the tash, it was clear to you
that they're right. You don't have to
take because when there's a condition we
don't go after the literal words we go
after the just like in we go after the
kavana what people understand what you
meant not the literal meaning of the
words and
it's clear that you didn't intend to
include pim you didn't see it in the
because of what you said that if I
missed I forgot to say I'm missing I
don't have to repeat so obviously it's
not a part technically speaking of
venturing and then he doesn't have to
more than that.
What does that mean?
Learns that if you made a
not called
what does it mean? Somebody forced you
to take a what does that mean? So I'll
tell you a story. Rav Kahana and Rav AI
would learn by Rav. Then they would go
outside and would argue what Rav meant
on a certain thing. And says, "I'm
telling you, it's like what I'm
explaining." And says, "No, you're
wrong. It's like what I'm explaining.
I'm thinking that I'm right." And will
tell you, "I'm taking a I'm right." Then
they went back to who's right? And would
say, "You're right." So the other would
say, "DID I JUST MAKE say no?
You were forced to because you were
really convinced that that's what I
said." And the gam says if you make this
type of you're not
this
is like so he saw his he believed his
who's the
bits
he believed when they said there is no
pes he's not the only one that we'll see
soon there's many others who say this
there is no pit and he believed him it's
as if like he took a
he doesn't have to pay we have four
reasons to exempt this from paying.
Similarly, there was once a
you should know the fifth chapter of
what is it called?
You should know it's the only chapter in
Mishnay that doesn't have the only
chapter.
And if you find another chapter that
doesn't have I'll give you 20 shekels.
The kids see 20 shekels in front of
their eyes and they go start working.
says this
says there is no other chapter only
doesn't he's quoting the B but the B
didn't say there is no other chapter the
B says the doesn't have period the
stretches it says and by the way it's
the only one the kids take some and it
start working and they worked and they
worked and the following day they come
to the says we find 10 other chapters in
Mishna that have placed 200 shekelers.
You said 20 per chapter we found 10b
says but I relied on kaf is kafim wrote
there there is no other even though the
b didn't say it decided to I can't rely
on the base on the kaf and asks do I
have to pay there was another
ab told his friends in class you know
mybe from the previous shivaktana was so
brilliant he was a bakimish expert in
the entire Aisha's bubbly and he once
told me that you'll never find three
backto-back dapim in the gimore that
raba or rabba don't appear there really
can't believe it three you can't nope
believe me if my said something you know
he knows shame is cold it's unbelievable
they said no we're not so sure about
that and what if we find another three
consecutive dapim that ora don't appear
he says you know I was just tested by
Shiva on some pages of Gora and they're
supposed to give me 400 shekels. I'll
give that to you. And he says, "But if
you don't find and I'm right, you give
me 100." And they agreed and they wrote
it down and they it's not like they did
everything right. Great. These guys went
to work. They open up and
then they came to him three days later
was wrong.
three and don't appear there 400.
So the yeshiva wants to know the yeshiva
have to pay this guy who was tested or
these kids do they get it? He says I
relied on my they said to you you said
something we made a we made an agreement
we found but I relied on
this is like the withasi who relied on
the this is I'm convinced it's just like
our case with the guy who's relying on
the that brings from the tajbets and
they all don't have to pay this sh came
to says you better pay
why because of what you said before
because
says don't say to a kid, I'm going to
give you something and don't follow
through with this because you're going
to teach the kids to be a liar.
You're teaching him when you say
something, you don't have to actually do
it. It's terrible. What kind of is that?
That's not and writes that from this
that is where learned that one has to be
extremely careful with little kids to
make sure they always speak emis and
this is like an obligation on their
parents and on and therefore all these
reasons why we want to exempt the
potentially are rightly but they must
make sure and more than that you're
dealing with kids when you tell them a
riddle. A riddle is not a sh you're
telling them you're NEVER GOING TO FIND
PAY FROM THIS PAGE to this page in
benching. Guess what I did. You have to
understand what the kids will understand
when you're asking him a riddle meant
for them.
It's going to look as if the doesn't
keep his word and that will be
devastating and terrible for the kids
and therefore for these reasons he
should pay. By the way, we brought
there's more.
He writes in all the of
all the letters appear except for pes to
tell you the same idea that all the with
pes cannot rule. But he says also it
doesn't appear in and also the blessings
before the you're not going to find a
writes
in there is no to tell you that if you
say with
and no other damaging agent can rule
over it and will be accepted
adds that
you're not going to find a piece OF IT
THE ENTIRE except of course the alanim
of purim But I guess he's not qualifying
it as part of the that's
writes since the pes is in the name of
and he brings examples of their names
and
and therefore you're not going to find
pit in any prayer except musf because in
musf you say musf musf in itself has the
pit so you're stuck but otherwise You're
not going to fight P of the speaking
writes in you find the from the
beginning of the in all the way till
all the blessings you're not going to
find.
Why? Because
and
all these do not rule over these
blessings. The truth is most of the
blessings we say do not have a piece of
it. most
don't have it except I found three
um
that's a pit and
has a p of so three but most of them do
not have doesn't have it doesn't have it
they don't have it
in doesn't have it the in the first we
mentioned it's so along and still

Benji doesn't have it and that is the

we have it says
>> okay that balance things out

first
they add an extra verse as a final why
is it there because remember the

stopped the rot and then from then on
the mus and Portuguese they went through
it and tried to take out as much
reference to cabala as possible

one of the cases where they added

they added it. It's not brought a
benching. The original benching is the
one without the quote that came before
them. They quote it without. Now you can
add anything you want in it. It doesn't
make it into part of Benjing the
discussed. Why did they add it? Shan
them. Okay, we're gonna have to find
out. Do some research and come back next
week.
>> They wanted to to break the connection.
>> Maybe. Maybe. But it doesn't turn it
into part of Beni that discussed that
discussed the version that was in front
of them that most of
the BI. So that was Yeah.
You have said and don't have it. He says

unique for one day and if you missed it
you don't have to repeat they're not
calling it part of benching part of ding
alim is not technically speaking part of
benching it's an addition since we
talked about purim that's the reason I
brought the sh let's ask a riddle for
purim very very strange can it be that
one of the denim that we all do on purim
is actually from the toy
is to p discuss in the toy. No. Where's
p coming from a little later, right? And
yet you're saying it comes later. So
what is one of the sources to one of the

poem
Zatal writes in a called
but he brings it because of something
related.
A woman is is she allowed to eat meat on
the day she goes to to or not. So he
writes, "By the way, you should know
there is an opinion that is stronger
than Shabas, which means if you have a
piece of meat on Friday, Purim is going
to be on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday. Keep it for
this
writes
there's an opinion
which means his relative passed away but
still wasn't buried. Is an allowed to
have meat and wine? No. Says
yes. Why?
He has a mitzvah from the Torah to be
anointed today. But that's his private
mitzvah. And private mitzvah will not
come and override.
The applies to all of us
to be happy and the
which is like
comes out eating meat. You said eating
meat unto him drinking wine IS
according to
it says
you did so good in the previous I ask
another one
>> so all of this is correct
>> he says the mitzvah to eat
he finds it in the
cabala is
it's like which means when you have a
mitzvah not to do something is an
individual but you have a mitzvah
collectively to do something it's
stronger than your private mitsah. So
the the positive for the overrides your
of the individual not to do this and
therefore you have to eat meat from the
that's the language of why
it says
>> because
that's
meat
it says it says
what is we mimic exactly what happened
back then and therefore you why do we
eat meat And why do we drink wine?
Because like And since we talked about
wine, I'll ask you another riddle.
Because you did so good in the previous
one.
We learn quotes,
right? We're all familiar with this.
Not sure if you're all familiar with the

going to drink some wine you may sh
someone stay away from drinking he's not
allowed because of the maybe he's going
to drink says we don't hold like this
himself says if you have a suffic
whether you are whether you were born in
maz or not You don't have to worry about
it because we have to go after the
majority. Most people are not born in
that mazal and
you're engaged in the who's going to
protect you. You don't have to worry. If
you know for a fact you were born in

Two more things about poor

well on

if we're talking about money you should
know what the say was one of the and
that's a tremendous
beta says
a person's income is all the way until

if you spend more you're going to get
the best before your kids is going to
give you more
expenditures for

you spend more
if you spend more they will give you
more so loophole in the system you can
get more than your decreed income
if you take away you don't want to spend
so much for the mitzvah
