okay here we are we're ready to begin on our Alaskan Adventure and everybody wants to know what are we doing here which tadiq are buried here which kavaram are we visiting this trip is not about visiting first and foremost you're going to see there are many that are relevant and will come up and will become alive to you just being here in Alaska the first is a very interesting issue regarding the International Date Line say what does International Dateline have to do with Alaska International Day line is an issue for Japan or Hawaii so let's just sum up the famous International Date Line is exactly 90 degrees east of irishal I am at 125.2 east longitude that cuts through Russia Philippines Indonesia and Australia it does not have any bearing on Alaska Alaska is completely east of the International Day line interestingly holds that even though the line dissects Australia that the East part of Australia gets schlepped to the West through a process called Guerrera that the land mass on the East is schlepped to the West however let's say New Zealand or Japan or Hawaii is going to be according to the on the east side of the line interestingly holds that the International Date Line cuts through Alaska at exactly opposite the line that cuts through yusha lines exactly opposite the line of yerushalayim and in that case it does cut through Alaska so Juno would be on the east side and the rest of the continent of Alaska the Last the rest of the con of the state would be on the west side that means when you hit the line Sunday becomes Monday Friday becomes Shabbos you see the Aleutian Islands are definitely on the west side of the island you definitely hit the Dateline before you get to Aleutian Islands the line that cuts to Alaska so you say well why don't we use the same lambdas of Guerrera as a kazanesh namely one we slept the rest of Alaska to the east side to the mainland of Canada and the United States whether in his Dateline you say Guerrera the bottom line is and I want to thank my dear friend of the Starkey who shared with me the map that he made and he explained to me a lot of these about whether you say greater on the main line of a mainland of Alaska so the first relevant that I want to share with the Islam is that according to kochinsky with a line katsu Alaska and we're flying out on Sunday but as soon as you hit that line it becomes Monday so wait a second I dive in chakras on Sunday on Monday I didn't have it on Monday yet so regarding to Fila Villa but the Shayla now is what about villain villain is a director should one be mahmir and put on to fill in again when we land so we flew out on Sunday we arrived here Sunday evening in Alaska it's considered Sunday evening but it might be Monday so yes indeed it would be worthwhile it would be it would be a Dover Hogan to indeed put on Fawn again in deference to the view of Rubik's that you hit the Dateline going from New York to Anchorage and then and this day Monday you didn't yet put on fill in so indeed it would be a proper thing to put on Twitter so people want to know how could you make a Brotherhood still a suffix any day you choose to put on phone a second time you would make another bracha later on in the day so this is uh for sure one it would be proper to put on full and again and indeed make another rough that's the first interesting halacha that arises coming here to Alaska okay good morning everyone so uh interesting Shayla is does one make breakfast when one flies from New York to Alaska the question is is this considered traveling we know the gamara says that somebody crosses a yam or someone crosses a mid bar however by yam or by midvar so they're moving question is whether air travel today warrants is it considered air travel today is millions of people are constantly traveling yes certainly it's a monkey for your luggage but Hashem for people it's not a makam sakhana so does one make Berks the consensus of most poison is that indeed even bism you make breakfast when during air travel and not only that we have ethos that many Doyle Israel themselves did make breakfast summer rubber pass in this way rush and with moisture go even so far as to say that even if you're not crossing over a yam or a mid bar the fact that you're in a makka and that it's impossible to exist that itself warrants even if you're not traveling over a yam or a mid bar but the Minogue is not to make unless you go over a yam or a mid bar we are even though but still if something were to happen in that monkey it would it is a person could be nevad instantaneously so the minute is to make brothers this is uh Avira tour so we have to mention that the belzareba ravana bells did not make Berkeley to make Brunswick for air travel I believe the biscarova as well but the consensus of most places if you're passing over a yam or a mid bar you foreign by the way robavadya rabavadya brings a proof that you automatically make sagama respect where you travel based on the child wants to know days did they have to make Birches hagoma which indicates that they said Hashem they flew in the air that seems to indicate automatically warrants uh Brooklyn so it could be we're also we're we're traveling with Javier then uh we would also have to make sagama but again the consensus of most poiskem is if you're traveling over a yam you're traveling over a mid bar you make work sagamo but I mapped out the travel route from New York to Alaska you're now traveling over any ocean sea or mid bar really well certainly not for an extended period of time and therefore according to most folks and one would not make Birches traveling to Alaska wishing everyone a wonderful day good morning everyone you know before you start learning in the morning one has to say a few good jokes you know rabo was always Macbeth before he would learn it also he would always say we'll talk about why rabba would always say most of them you might be wondering why are there so many rabbis on this trip you know we've been on many Avira tours and maybe we have one extra Rabbi this trip we have we have a surplus we have a lot of buried now this is a very important reason why we have a lot of rabbis on this chips you know many Rob Van Damme they have a need to connect with their cahillas so sometimes they like to go hunting with their members of tequila it's well known it's an old minnow it's an old Messiah the robot and like to go hunting with the members of the Kayla one time a rabbi and his member they went hunting and they saw a deer not a moose I don't believe in Moose there's no such thing as moose they're dinosaurs they're unicorns and they're moose don't let them they're gonna stay up there they even he he never even saw him he's been here for 30 years so they uh they wanted to see who's gonna shoot the deer and they both shoot the deer and there's a Big Mac like us now who shot the deer the rabbi or the president and the rabbi brought a proof it was he who shot the deer the president said how do you know because I shot it went in one ear and right out the other and that was better than the jokes at uh the bartender had which was what do you call uh mother moose who just gave birth decaffeinated okay I told you mine was better okay so the question is why would rabo always start off with a joke we don't find that bay would start off with a joke but Papa would say well why that caraba I believe that rabba lived a very difficult life the gamara tells us in marikatan that rapista lived 92 years rabba only lived 40 years rakuza made many hasanas rather ate at 60 sudoi sabavelos and say dafka usually the number 60 is laughed after 60 dafka rabo is very poor he couldn't even afford barley and to top it off the gamara says so rabbit didn't have money rabba didn't have simcha Bravo didn't have popularity so in order to put himself in the proper Spirit rabba would always start off the sheer with most of the vehicle so you know it's an interesting what exactly were these Bravo would start off with a knock knock joke Bravo would come to the sheer knock knock who's there rabba or he would say Alma but no he reminds your rights and the debris Maisha from here we see that it's permitted to talk about even in order to beat to live with debris but did you know that in the first plastic in this week's parisha there's a remed you should start off and share with the jokes by the way he was close with the vulgari anybody who says over to return the name of the battle she never had children he's personally promises you he will dive in for you and bail you out of any sorrow okay so you maybe you can say over this one because it's a stickle jokes tishman you'll be able to understand the Torah so before you learn you always have to make a good joke that's why I didn't go with the joke about the decaffeinated I went with the one about the rabbi hunting and this way it will be place but you know that not only should you start off a share with the joke you're supposed to end the share with the joke assistant not only do you start off sauce Hashem we're starting off the debate simsa and the Miracles that the whole trip we should visit and all the rapunz should be able to get good material and uh show that their attack are very good hunters and uh and I will vouch for you that if you shoot any moose that you are the one who was uh will to be continued okay uh we're we have in our bat in the background the chugash mountain range and another yashaya gives us a very important directive says raise up your eyes on high and see who created these you see creation the going teaches has two elements there's Ayla ayla's matter Ayla are mountains Ayla are trees Ayla is the sky Ayla is the physical world the concretized physical world the facts in front of you Ayla Ayla but there's another dimension to creation and that Dimension is me me is the secret of creation me is the question so who's responsible for it who created all of this matter what is the secret of the universe me me that's the question we all have to ask um you have to put together the Ayla with the me when you put together the Ayla with the me I like him that's Sacco the objective of living in this world is to combine the Ayla with the me everyone sees the Halo every wall of mankind sees the a-lab everyone has the question me the objective of life is to combine the me with the A-line to see the revanish in fact writes shamaya Israel Shema is Russia Tevis Gore Ayla but the Vanessa cannot put together the Ayla with the bees so ASAP sizakovino he says you have a beautiful family I see the Ayla I have a question me but Ace of cannot put two and two together Asaf could have all of the brachas of this world he sees the Ayla he has the question me but he's never able to be the stare the Ayla and the me that was but you take the Ayla out of it and you remove the me objective of this world is to look at the Harem The Voice the shamayams the trees not that of course I left at the Moose because there are no moose but to see all of creation and to recognize the Ayla and to see the me and to be able to put two or two together and to recognize I believe that is the reason why what yeah they're gonna point out you missed it you missed it yeah you just missed it yeah yeah oh it was back you didn't see it so so they're gonna try very hard I know um that's the objective of living in this world there are two ways of seeing how colors work on this world of course we know yeah how do you see how do you come to the after session but there's also a way of seeing how to struggle through creation and that's one of the main objectives of uh our our trip to be able to ask me to see the Ayla and to come to the conclusion but how's everybody doing okay nothing in this universe is as concealed as the Creator even the greatest men of all time have not seen the Creator and at the same time nothing in this world is as evident as a Creator now we're going to talk a little bit about leaves okay there are a lot of leaves the Moose there were dozens of moose when you fell asleep uh you missed it you know try to try to be very Vigilant because you know you blink and uh you miss them now the gamara tells us some assess the Shabbos at Friday night when you say like I'm sure he's come to Heavenly Angels come and they put their hands on your forehead and they say the Tsar all your sins are forgiven so Friday night when you say that you have capora savanas now today is the uh yeah the lavaya of the son of Victor Miller so I want to share with you some thoughts from Miller of Miller asked nigamara why would you say that Hulu Friday night are all your sins atoned for what exactly are you accomplishing by saying by Hulu that created the world we all know that we all believe that what exactly is achieved by saying by Hulu saysra Miller from here we see that even something that we already know but a little bit of a more deeper awareness of the Creator is such a powerful moment it's on par with Yom Kippur here you have the fast 24 hours to get atonement and merely by reciting that Hashem created the world and rested on the seventh day that alone is enough to gain atonement on par with Yom Kippur but Cesar Miller if you know it can't be greater than Yom Kippur is the power of ayahulu is only with shuva so it's appropriate Friday night when you say by Hulu before you say by who one should be mahara bachuva and then it's provided that it brings a person a deepened awareness of Hashem so now again even though we haven't seen too many uh but you know what they have a lot of in Alaska leaves did you notice that there are a lot of leaves in Alaska so I want to speak about eight miracles of leaves number one did you notice every leaf is horizontal not vertical now that's very difficult because try holding a leaf keeping it horizontal it's nearly impossible and yet the tree is able to hold on to thousands of leaves each one in a horizontal position why why horizontal in order for each Leaf to receive maximum sunlight it's able somehow you can hold on to the leaf horizontal the tree can hold on to thousands of leaves horizontally in order for them to achieve maximum sunlight number two the glossy deep green side of the leaf is always on the top because the glossy side is exposed to the Sun and it's able to utilize the direct rays of the sun to uh for chlorophyll so that's another miracle of the leaves number three now this is uh the summer months summer months the trees are full of leaves why maximum shade it's very sunny protects uh uh people animals from the Sun in the winter we want to maximize as much sunlight as we could get so the trees they know it's uh it's cold outside let's drop the leaves in order that people could uh experience as much sunlight as possible now every leaf has Jagged edges why does it have Jagged edges in order to give greater circumference like a shoreline because the circumference is what facilitates inhaling of carbon dioxide so the jagged edges of the leaf really multiplies its ability to uh take in the carbon dioxide every leaf is crisscrossed with veins what are the veins for it's like a network of veins it transports water materials throughout the leaf and at the same time it's a supporting frame the leaf is a very lightweight fabric now the leaves are paper thin actually if you spread out all the leaves of One Tree it could cover Acres of uh area in order to uh it's the Creator uses as little material as possible to create as much surface as possible and then the leaf is coated with transparent plastic something like that which allows the sun to pass through it and at the same time it gives it a certain strength so that chewing insects do not uh chew it so as we mentioned if you if one were to ask where is Hashem every leaf speaks out where is he not so Alaska has a lot of leaves and we're gonna have plenty of time to count each and every one of them okay you don't really disc and he could look at a tree and he can tell you exactly how many leaves are on the tree but each one calls out how's everybody doing okay nothing in this universe is as concealed as the Creator even the greatest men of all time have not seen the Creator and at the same time nothing in this world is as evident as a Creator now we're going to talk a little bit about leaves okay there are a lot of leaves the Moose there were dozens of moose when you fell asleep you missed it you know try to try to be very Vigilant because you know you blink and uh you miss them now the gamara tells us some assess the Shabbos at Friday night when you say by Hulu Hashem I'm sure he's come to Heavenly Angels come and they put their hands on your forehead and they save the star of Inez all your sins are forgiven so Friday night when you say that is now today is the uh yeah the lavaya of the son of Victor Miller so I want to share with you some thoughts from Miller Miller asked why would you say by Hulu Friday night are all your sins atoned for what exactly are you accomplishing by Hulu that

on the seventh day that alone is enough to gain atonement on par with Yom Kippur but Cesar Miller if you know it can't be greater than Yom Kippur and just again Yom kippers only machampa the power of ayahulu is only with shuva so it's appropriate Friday night when you say by Hulu before you say by Hulu one should be mahara bachuva and then it's provided that it brings the person a deepened awareness of Hashem so now again even though we haven't seen too many uh coyotes but you know what they have a lot of in Alaska leaves did you notice that there are a lot of leaves in Alaska so I want to speak about eight miracles of leaves number one did you notice every leaf is horizontal not vertical now that's very difficult because try holding a leaf keeping it horizontal it's nearly impossible and yet the tree is able to hold on to thousands of leaves each one in a horizontal position why why horizontal in order for each Leaf to receive maximum sunlight it's able somehow you can hold on to the leaf horizontal the tree can hold down to thousands of leaves horizontally in order for them to achieve maximum sunlight number two the glossy deep green side of the leaf is always on the top because the glossy side is exposed to the Sun and it's able to utilize the direct rays of the sun to uh for chlorophyll so that's another miracle of the leaves number three now this is uh the summer months summer months the trees are full of leaves why maximum shade it's very sunny protects uh people animals from the Sun in the winter we want to maximize as much sunlight as we could get so the trees they know it's uh it's cold outside let's drop the leaves in order that people could uh experience as much sunlight as possible now every leaf has Jagged edges why does it have Jagged edges

has a lot of leaves and we're gonna have plenty of time to count each and every one of them okay you don't really surely this can he could look at a tree and he can tell you exactly how many leaves are on the tree but each one calls out ma okay good afternoon everyone for our bread alone man does not live this is a very important even when one eats one is not sustained by just the physical nutrition of the food there's a certain spiritual quality of food that nourishes the nashama as well so the park the plastic says so it's a very interesting gamara in sukkah the famous says if somebody goes into a bias hamanuga a house that has Saras on it how much time would one have to spend in the house to contract tomorrow that's what he does foreign have a hole in it foreign it's not a coincidence that every important Cruise's first year says the schlot is a reminder that at the time of akilah one should think about what they're eating and realize that aside from the physical value of the food every food has a spiritual quality in it and the spiritual quality of the food nourishes the nashama and furthermore when you're eating you're reminded that the food reminds you of a certain halata which to me I think this is very important to review from hypolism we see a very important view site that everything in the physical world reminds us of a specific hawasa when you look at a grape it's not a great it's something to help you remember sure reveals it's not a zayas it's something to help you remember the sheer mochazim everything in the physical world is the concretization of Torah it's a certain way to look at the world when you look at a tree what's a tree a tree is a davar that is subject to Hillcrest revive meaning that the world is a world of Tyra everything that exists in the world is to remind you of Sir give us further examples even the fingers of the hand and so on and so forth in other words the world everything in this world is comes to reality through but this says the show of colors we can answer very important questions this is a very fundamental question we know the whole tackles have riots and yet nowhere in the Torah doesn't work gives 10 answers to this question but says no it's a mistake to think the Torah doesn't talk about the rain the rain what's rain we think the rain our physical droplets that come down so that's the way the rain appears to us but the Assad the icker what's rain there's a rash of which is reserved as the sky of and in the is something called gesha there's something called geshamin and we don't understand what it is we don't know what it is but the Torah talks about it the way we relate to it is the way we see the rain the physical rain contamina but that's not the rainbow the rainbow is in the Isley in fact the Torah discusses but the way we relate to it is in the physical world but even in the physical world the physical world is merely a concroidization of the so everything that we see all the trees that we see all the rivers that we see the atmosphere that we see is the physical concretization of ayalamas now moose there are no moose As We Know and so there are no spiritual moves either it's okay good afternoon everyone now is your daily dose of halafah so coming to Alaska it gives us opportunity to review some halafas that perhaps you don't have a chance to focus on during the rest of the year now I would like to talk about we're headed toward minha and I want to talk about the proper man from Memphis we all know that this is until Delilah until the night so the stars come out which means until then after that says an hour and a quarter before the night and once a flag of mental comes you could already Daven marav that's the famous maholicus and what's the mascara who do we hold like do we hold like until the night time and after or do we hope that could be you the they meant could then be after plague would allow for uh a nice leniency on a day like today when we have uh we have to wake up very early tomorrow and to wait until by the way tonight 12 30 p.m so to have to dive in marav after 12 30 or even to wait till it's very late so who do we hold like we hold like the rabannon we hold like so the conclusion is the conclusion of the gemara is the Avid Kumar oven you could follow either opinion pick them choose choose your opinion you want to go like until the night because after no problem you want to follow a behuda also not a problem after however says you have to be consistent consistent means the same thing every day which means sometimes until the night let's say in toshia then on a different day when it works out for you you cannot dive in my rev after playing because since sometimes you render after uh day you can't turn around on a different time and not admire of them that's why the halaka is the base line I love her is you know sometimes people Sunday night they want to call it uh early night so they want to dab in Marathon it's not correct can't do that the question is what about you have a difficult circumstance let's say we have to be a very early tomorrow let's say we have to be up 4 AM and I assume presumably most people will that will take minha up to the Lila before the obviously with all present company uh without uh this this uh the following message does not necessarily represent the view of all the ravanani but it represents my view that you have to complete the minha before the mission says you have to complete them before the skia so let's say people usually that mental for the skia on a different day you can't turn around and then dab in uh marive after so uh could we do that today it would seem like it is still reasonable for us to do that even though it would not be consistent with our usual uh practice because now the mission Brew explains provided that it's not what we call party disaster week which means if you're gonna dive in on that day after you should not dominate before the Lila soak in a difficult circumstance you could let's say turn around what uh on on a day that's extremely difficult and go like rabihuda provided that you don't contradict yourself and do Authority disaster Friday night may be different you'll ask your local Orthodox Place sake maybe once your macabo Shabbos so your mashvale but uh that's that's what our routine is going to be utilizing what the show tonight Who provided that it's not character now an interesting question is what if you don't do Authority disaster you're not going to have a minion the minion will be lost this is a very interesting question the mishaboo and Sim and Ray shlamic gimmel seems to say that if you dive instrument and you don't turn around immediately there might be basis to be able to keep the minion however the mission of bura elsewhere instead of a race says that um one should not be makal even if you're gonna lose the minion so the bottom line is under normal regular circumstances it's always best to be a consistent on a daily bit in other words now if a person wanted they could dive in matter of every single night after flag but the usual practice is most people they take Mensa up to the Shia and uh dabbing after playing would not be viable unless it's what we call okay that's your first uh halachados before supper more very important because we said under the circumstances you could have been married after the flag of info the only thing is it's very important to keep in mind is that you still need to say Krishna after 10 seconds so tonight Krishna a physical problem is approximately 12 30 which means you're gonna go to sleep you're gonna get back to hotel very nice and early you're gonna have a good night's sleep the only thing is you're gonna set your alarm for between 2 A.M so you're gonna wake up in the middle of the night you say I don't understand I came on vacation and then mooching me I have to get up at 12 30 a.m to say Krishna this is the most important moment of your life the Camaro says in Shabbos which means that saying Shema is a school off for Binion based on big touch let's explain that why is Saint Krishna School of forbidden based like this you know that brings down and why so hida explains there are 248 words in Shema you don't say the Rama flip it around here I think we can explain as follows how many kinis are there total Kenneth how many Kenneth 45 the Camacho Adam which means yesterday's was destroyed but the icker miktash is the person that means the basement is destroyed the Autumn themselves is in a state of uh the Autumn is Amela how is a person boina himself you see the creation the Adam so tonight you're very tired but you're gonna set an alarm that at 12 30 a.m you're gonna jump up you're gonna wash your hands you're gonna say the Krishna you're gonna be mushroom you're going to build a base on miktas you said but then we're going to lose out the next few days of being in Alaska you never lose that by doing the right thing even though mashiach will come you won't lose that on your vacation days we'll make it or Avi will arrange no the chef will come somehow you'll get in the beers then when Michelle comes maybe cocktail there will be a moose but until then you know there are no promises okay okay so I just want to add uh one Pride to the Karishma because you're thinking here I came to Alaska I have to wake up in the middle of the night you got off a lot easy we took you to Alaska at the most convenient possible time because if you would have come say June 21st I want to tell you something June 21st is about 2 A.M which means you would have to say krishma three times say how's that three times Krishna three times see now it's only twice you're saying it by Marriott but if you would have come earlier in the summer when there's almost no difference between I saw them and capsules and by the way because 2 am is also Allah it would come out that you probably should say Krishna three times once in Marathon one you're gonna have to wait until the darkest part of the night darkest part of the night will be moments before 2 A.M so you're going to say your Krishna say 155 A.M in order to be able to cruise shipment the thing is you can never really be certain that you said Krishna by itself you may have said it a bit too early and now that katsues has come and Allah has come maybe you missed this man Christmas now is that normally you don't say Shima after Allah but if somebody has an onus you're allowed to say Krishna after our lives before Nate's so there's no greater onus than being in Alaska June 21st when you cannot really determine what says Haber of the star k He suggests that when you come to Alaska in the beginning of the summer you're going to say Krishna three times every night which actually you can make a strong case for that so that's why we delayed our Alaska trip to a time of the summer when you've got a good hour and a half between six seconds and this gives you a perfect weather you only have to get up one time in the middle of the night most people get up 10 times more than that anyway so this way one on one of your nightly uh Awakenings you wash your hands you say Shema and there's a very well-known school that you fall asleep very quickly after you say the Krishna and you'll sleep very well good morning everyone I just want to share with you a brief thought from the rampal and the safer fast Luna is about various animals it really it doesn't matter whether they exist or not by the way it's irrelevant whether they actually exist but we know that in in the world that created there are millions of species of animals of fish of birds the question is why how could this bro who created such a varied Universe why did the almighty create so many species many of them we will see most species we will never even encounter In Our Lifetime what's the purpose what is that because demonstrating with this very fast and varied creation is offers really a magnificent idea he says that everything in this world is a reflection of the Creator we know that man is created in the image of Hashem so a person is uh sallam alaikum but even even without that every single creation and creature reflects so we know how College work was won and he has no components Casper shella but nevertheless manifests to us at different times revolution has different manifestations and different there's tivares they're infinite combinations of the various Midas each animal plant fish bird reflects of the Creator so we're not just looking at something created but you're looking at something that reflects an element of the Divine an element about so that's the objective that's the purpose of of the vast uh Syria well they will speak more about you know animals play a very uh large role in the Torah besides you know in many places there are the main characters in the story so in the beginning of voracious but you have the nagash and then the animals also play a big role um but besides that gazelle find and khazal teach us that there are certain things that we learn from the animals we learn from the animals we're going to discuss soon uh how one could learn from animals you know people have rabayam and yeshivas most people with yes and no could you learn by by the ants for a few years so the question is how exactly is a human being supposed to learn from it from an animal and what type of realistic expectation is there that we observe animals and uh Elevate ourselves from from learning from them okay many animals today we saw a caribou we saw Arctic squirrels we saw doll sheep and we even saw paintings of moose so one of the summer was very successful day um let's talk a little bit about the creation and the animal world and the entire universe so imagine you have a kid you're trying to get him up no it's so hard I'm so tired I'm so heavy say pal be light like an eagle I mean that that's the most ridiculous thing you could possibly tell somebody be light like an eagle I'm a human being I'm not an eagle I can't fly what exactly is the mission telling us we should be strong like a lion a lion is programmed to be strong a lion has the brute strength the lion has the physical ability a human being is Meek meager compared to the lion what exactly is Pierre is telling us to emulate these animals that are programmed that are created with unusual ability that human being does not have I mean you didn't can't fly Matthew told somebody what's taking so long get here like a supersonic jet fly like a jet last night I'm not a jet I don't have I don't have fuel I don't have wingspan I don't have an engine I don't have that power you know if you told somebody you know you should really try to learn like the film again I mean that is that is that a meaningful message what exactly is Perkins teaching us you know we have a similar idea coming up the end of davarum where my chavino tells Clan Israel I call to witness to testimony today Heaven and Earth says Rashi at kalashbrook tells Claus Israel look at the heaven that I created did the heaven ever say I'm going on strike did the sun ever say I'm not going to shine that the moon ever say I'm not going to shine did the heavens ever say I'm not going to send down rain look at the Earth to the Earth ever say that seeds I don't do seeds anymore I don't do trees anymore the heaven always sends down rain and the sun always shines the Sun never went on strike the Sun never took it off the sun doesn't take sick days it doesn't take absence doesn't take a leave of absence so says just like the sun and the moon and the stars and the Earth they work like clockwork and they never go on strike and they're never lazy so to you man you can't take it easy you can't take off you can't say well today I'm not going to serve the almighty learn from the heaven and the Earth also is that a meaningful message just like the sun shines every day we should do our service every day I mean the sun doesn't have free choice the moon or they're not Bali bahira they don't have bahirah captions they don't have free choice what's revenge sometimes from we should be like heaven and earth Heaven and Earth are programmed they're constant they can't choose to do good they can't choose to do bad they do what they're programmed to do man has the capacity to to choose to do what it wants what kind of meaningful message is it be like the Heaven and the Earth and we find many examples tell us you know go learn from the Animal Kingdom the gomoran Arabic says and navkuff the Torah wasn't given we would learn modesty from a cat we would learn about not taking other people's property from a ant an ant puts in a lot of work to gather produce but it will not touch anything another ant collected for itself we would have learned um modesty from a dove we would have learned Terraces from a chicken really why would we learn anything from any of these animals this is the way God programmed them that's their that's their nature that's how they have no ability to act in any other way the cat has no ability to take care of its functions in a Brazen way why would we learn anything from any animal so I'd like to share with you really a mind-boggling idea a very empowering idea a life-changing idea there's one of the most difficult in the Hamish the creation of man whether Revolution says let us make man and of course Rashi points out this is a very difficult process what do you mean let us make man who's the US it almost sounds like there's more than one Creator Rashi even says Hashem is giving a place for those who want to deny the unity of God to say maybe either there's more than one power up there offers an astounding explanation on the words NASA Adam foreign that Hashem first created heaven and earth and then Hashem created the sky and then Hashem gathers all the water into the oceans and then the plants Sprout and the trees Sprout and then the fish are created and then the birds and then the animals we're upon God turns to all of creation he turns to heaven he turns to Earth he turns to the fish he turns to the birds he turns to the elephants to the Tigers to the lion so we're here in Squid acre a kennel and you know the gemara says don't live in a city that doesn't have dogs because you know the dogs keep away the garden of him so the milk stuff's safer the grandson like some server once asked what's the Indian that we spill the African in the night of the stay there what's the basis for that so at first some super didn't say what the base is for some sofa is but I have to say that some service said you know just live in a city that doesn't have dogs because they're a lot of gun of him that means the naivets is the dogs weren't barking that means there are a lot of genevils so to commemorate this episode all the genevists from Triumph we steal the African then I didn't say that but there's also rebunus and iberson says by the dogs okay we're going to talk more about the clubs we're here at the squid acre kennel and uh this is a run of dogs what's the email that the night of you choose to try and the dogs weren't barking Butner explains very deeply that gamar tells us there are three creatures that are very bold audacious so one of them is the Keller what's the office of the dog simply we say the answers is they bark they scream they cry but Hunter says the azus of the dog is that they have the audacity to think that they're on par with man that their Man's Best Friend The Audacity Of The kellev is the Caleb has to try to rub shoulders with man as if they're on par with man the night of you see is the time it was so clear the superiority the elevation the elevated status of man that the dog would never have the husband the audacity to try to make a claim that they're a friend of man no man's superiority was clear the Knight of UCS okay good afternoon everyone this is my first opportunity to join you on this bus they call it bus too but you know this is bus number one yeah you guys are much more engaged there already first of all you know tomorrow great things are never coincidental so the question is why did we visit the dogs on August 1st so you know it's already the dog days of August so okay now uh I have to follow all of the mysterious that we just heard about the um the moose uh what was it called yeah so let's talk about dog dog uh now why are we gonna talk about that you know one of the main Personalities in park Shira is are the club in my room anybody know what do the dogs say in parakshira you see everything in creation sings to God every tree every animal has a unique song so what do the dogs say come let us bow down we will bless Hashem I said before God our creator that's what the dog said why are they had to sing the Shira so it says the man Rush that this was a very big question the student of Ravi khanina Mendoza fasted 85 days to visit that to understand why the dogs say the Shira then until it was revealed to him that as a reward for Allah that when the Jews left Egypt the dogs did not bark therefore they are rewarded that they sing this song to Hashem but not only that but they have the distinct privilege that we take there at Saya and we use the soya of dogs to tan the hides to produced villain you may not know that you may not want to know that but that's the reality we take the soya of Clavin and we use it to tan the heights of uh to fill in in fact some of the first Shira tell us this gemara says you know dogs have a very limited diet there's not a lot that they could eat so because of that Hashem makes it that the digestive system of the dog is a taste of the dog three days for its food to be digested it takes it's a three-day process so the first time Park she would say that since the soya of dogs are used to tan fill in and we don't want the soya to be too rotted all the writing takes place internally in the dog so by the time it comes out it's already in a condition that it can be used for the Titan the highs of the tiller I thought you might want to know about that by the way it's interesting that one of the reasons why we have accustomed the Knight of pesach which means it's a practice the father puts away the matzah and the little kids they go they see then we barter the kid gives it back to the father and condition the father buys the kid a processed okay why do we steal the African in the night of the sedan so this question was posed to samsai for his grandson Mustafa asked some safer why do we steal the African in the night as I stay there so Sam Cipher didn't know the reason by the end of the say that some server said since the night of UTS been trying in the doors to the bar Kamara says he shouldn't live in a city that doesn't have dogs why because there are a lot of genevas in the city so it must be the 90s Society there are a lot of genevas so to commemorate all the robbery that took place the night of you try and the sound Surfer says we steal the africaemon Viet as in May the pasok Kili Benet Israel Kili Israel the kliaca road is safer called irkivara why because just like the dog is and Ani it doesn't have a lot of food to eat Israel poverty is a good thing for for a Jew it's good for their character not to have to be so indulgent in fact the numbers okay mama yes foreign okay do you like that okay I'll end off with one more interesting thing you know the question is why is it a Kiddush that the night of you trying the dogs weren't barking right it says that they weren't barking number one normally when dogs see a carcass the dogs weren't barking plus when a dog sees someone walking at night he barks Kaliso we're leaving at night the dog didn't bark Plus the camera says when the dogs bark it's a semen that the malcolmovas is in town that night was in town but still the dogs weren't barking that the dogs weren't barking the night of it but I'm gonna end off with one idea it's very interesting ER explains on a deeper level what's the Indian that the dogs didn't bark the night of his Christmas Ryan the Camaro tells us the videos there are three awesome who are they the Israel is what's the Asus of a dog what would you say that we'll say the answers to the dog is it's very Brazen here you you're innocently walking down the street and it just comes and he barks and he shouts and he he attacks that's the brazenness of the dog reformer says no it's much deeper than that the brazenness of the dog is that there's only one animal that has the audacity to make the claim that their man's best friend a cow would never come up to you start rubbing shoulders with you start you know making believe he's on par with you he's your friend the cow knows he's a cow you're a man you're not gonna find a goat now even even a mystical moose even in the books that talk about a concept of a moose they'll never portray that a moose comes in rough shoulders with man but a dog makes the claim he's loyal he's man's best friend you could count on him that's audacious and a dog is similar to man that's the greatest audacity in the world the night of you see us in the triumph it was so clear the superiority of Adam's superiority of the soil the dog didn't have the audacity to rub shoulders and say yeah I'm on par with Matt it was finally clear for the first time in history the superiority of man over animal and that's right okay more to come start again okay okay this is not your first tuba of in your lifetime but this is the most important tube of you ever had because uh first of all you know great things are never coincidental why is there firewood by Armenian on tuba do you think uh just coincidence so the gemara goes through many many different perusalem or what the Sims is but ultimately the gemara says they stopped chopping wood for the misbeha stop tapping mode why they stop chopping the wood so Gamora says that once tuba up comes the night time gets longer because the daylight hours are shorter and the Sun wanes so the sun is not so powerful so normally you chop wood in the summer the sun dries out the wood but once the night time gets longer the sun is weaker and then the the wood could get moisture in it and worms could come so you can no longer chop wood for the Miss bayak so the night is longer says the gemara there's more time to learn like every the purpose of the nighttime is for illuminata in other words what's the silk tube of that the nights are longer and there's more time to to learn now who could ever appreciate the value of a nighttime the rest of the all the other two Bobs in your lifetime you took the night for granted so your Hashem sent you to Alaska where the concept of night has not yet come there's no night over here you have to wake up 1am to say Christmas salarvis in order to understand the the importance of the night think about it wherever cloudy soil is the main minion is always in a monkey where there's Lila why whether it's Israel or New York New York is a good place for juice slip you can't be an artist as well why because you have night time in New York so you come home after a day's work and you could learn but Alaska is a very beautiful place to visit you can't live here yeah in Alaska there's no night time no night time there's no time to learn so you've launched some sent to Alaska to appreciate the night and then appreciate the great simcha of tuba of now two above of course is the beginning already of the period of the young and Iran what better way to prepare for yamnaram than extra Lima Torah so let me be the first to wish everyone as it's well known the monk culture brings tuba of is gomatria Siva okay okay good morning everyone we have a unique opportunity we're from the one percent of people but we have such a clear view of the Denali mountain and I want to thank our naturalist Holly for giving me a moment here with you and Skipper Jake thank you very much for your service if you see impressive mountains Mass separation so do you make a Brach on this well let's see in the inherits yourself you see the caramon that's an impressive Mountain you make oyster Mass separations the place can say you make this bracha on the Himalayas on the Rockies and on the Swiss Alps my understanding is Denali is taller than the Rocky Mountains so definitely you would make oyster mass of racist on the Denali mountain now there are two mountains that are a Shiloh and Aloha the Grand Canyon because according to scientists the Grand Canyon was not around when the world was created it took thousands of thousands of years to be carved out but according to our belief the whole world was created excellent hello so the Grand Canyon was created instantaneously one would make myself is on the Grand Canyon there is one mountain in the world you don't make oisana the mountains of Rome because according to the gemara Rome was created overnight right they say Rome wasn't created overnight that's how you know it was created overnight Gabrielle stuck a read into the uh and a land mass developed around it so you do not make oyster mass of racist on Rome the question I had was do you make oysterosis on the mountains from an aerial view from the airplane says no you gotta wait until you're here because when you're funny on the airplane you can't appreciate the altitude of the mountain so here Hashem is giving you only one percent of the people why us because we actually know the halacha to make the bracha so it's not going to get anybody else there's no Indian just to see it the Indian is to make a brother uh make the brotha the Cabana and appreciate good afternoon everyone hope everyone had a little time at takita so you know there's a big discussion what is the state bird of Alaska well officially the state bird is the willow targaman however we've come to learn the state bird of Alaska is the mosquito yeah um and there's a question why does Alaska have so many mosquito oh firstly it has mild temperatures a lot of precipitation Marshland lakes and here's the real reason because of the permafrost the water can never drain so everything is basically Marsh so in light of being in the land of the mosquito let's talk about a very interesting halacha are you allowed to kill mosquitoes that are bothering you you're out in the sukkah and there's a mosquito nasty mosquito he wants your blood he's going for the jugulars are you allowed to kill a mosquito on yamta now on Shabbos obviously you can't kill the mosquito what malachas it the tilas in the shama is srita but what about on YouTube should we say Mr Brewery that the same way we say in Italian supplies to cooking to baking enter to shrita as well so it's wanna let it kill a mosquito and yamta sayserman it is permitted to kill a mosquito on YouTube and that is how small kamonesky pascans that it is permitted to kill a mosquito on YouTube but what's interesting is rebiakov kamonesky said not so fast is printed in the Emma Shot even though there's a sword to say and you should be allowed to kill a bee uh The Nest a mosquito but yaakov says you cannot kill a mosquito first of all he says debatable because whenever you're using me type it's just like something is permitted for a need of food something would be permitted for any need there's no positive need to kill the mosquito it's davar shimafria something that's bothering you removing a nuisance is not considered necessarily A saira and it could be that never permitted it because you'd only be allowed to kill a mosquito that's really bothering you and where that guideline would be where the threshold would be could you kill a mosquito that's three feet away from me it's not bothering you yet no that you can't kill him it would be very difficult to have a threshold of which mosquitoes would meet the threshold of annoyance that you'd be allowed to kill them so I just want to point out just to conclude what about killing mosquitoes in general on a Tuesday on a Wednesday rev Maisha writes and they go simulation any human need one is allowed to violate in other words any time there's a human need one could use an animal for any purpose nevertheless her moisture says there's another issue over here and that issue is we find by iranidahas that the best then who has to take the lives of those who serve that Buddhism the Torah says whether where the Torah says even though you're taking the lives of the evildoer we're gonna engender Mercy within you so so much why do we need to engender Mercy within the court the court is following the the prescribed procedure says the moisture from here we see that whenever someone takes a life even when necessary there's a danger of engendering the middle of zarius and therefore the Torah has to say you need to do this and we'll we'll Safeguard your character trait of rachmanas ramosia says this is not needed by srita you don't need to safeguard you don't have to worry maybe the shoe will be coming after but says whenever possible one should avoid killing an insect because straight out ramesha says whenever possible never to kill anybody better to leave a trap better to leave some kind of b-trap mosquito trap spray but to kill any living thing with your own hands ramusha says even though halachically it's permitted it's better to avoid so when you're in the land of the mosquito it's very important to know Hills mosquitoes yeah okay okay back at it let's talk about uh hunting let's look at hunting in halasas is it an issue of sarb we're gonna talk about the there's a concept that acquainted Jewish law you can cause distress to an animal grandan says what's the source that you can close the stress to an animal says the myth the source is the midst of shrita why is by slaughtering an animal the answer is relieving the animal of any distress that you would cause it by taking its life in any other way is a painless way for the animal to die by the way there's an amazing thing that in all kosher animals by severing the tusimanim you immediately cut off the oxygen flow to the head so the animal experiences no pain in the shoulder process in non-kosher animals the animal still has oxygen going to the brain from other sources so shifting a non-kosher animal will actually cause the animal a lot of distress that's why we only eat kosher animals so is hunting a violation of causing distress to an animal absolutely not they know to be who this says and a famous chuva that sarb is only a problem if you keep the animal alive but if you take the animal's life you're not causing the animal to stress you know people always make a mistake don't kill it at Starbucks so that is a very compelling way to demonstrate amaratus meaning Jewish illiteracy there is no issue of Sacrament taking life for the animal the issue is what ramosha says that it's considered cruelty so it's an issue of a person's own character as opposed to sarb now the remote tells us in Ebenezer Simon hey anything that is needed for a medicinal reasons for a fua or any other human need there is no sarb so if somebody needed a feather to ride a safer thyroid to write anything one could pluck a feather from a bird from a goose there's no issue says we don't pluck the feather just straight off because that would be absorious so the question is what is the Macar what's the source that for human need there's no issue of sour Valley science you know this condition is that connection is uh and he says the Raya that for Humanity there's no kindness plowing so he says how could you plow with the ox but it's uh it's there's a lot of work it's painful it's in the blistering Heat and the Torah allows you to plow it speaks about plowing there are many different silken that discuss plowing that shows sarabali time is permitted for the sake of human needs if the kids could go in and he says it's not Araya it says animals love to pull like we saw yesterday at the uh kennel animals enjoy pulling they're trained to pull oceans is permitted for human need for the fact that you'll add a plow animals are trained they're groomed they enjoy pulling so there's interesting the Swedish has a chuva that he defends the Raya of the Das kadosh and he says yeah animals like to plow but the Torah doesn't put any limit on up to what point you can fly with an animal what if you've already planned with the animal for nine hours and the animals having a very hard time and he's in great distress is there any uh prohibition or limitation that you have to give the animal an hour off no you could plow with an animal without any limit that demonstrates that for any human need that supersedes so that's an important decide when it comes to saravalihayam on the other hand has a certain limitation of what is considered human need so there's a type of cast that is fattened in order to produce a certain white quality in the meat what is it called I think it's called Whitefield what do you say it's called so are they boxing the animal and they stuffed the animal with all kinds of foods that the animal has no interest in and the animal doesn't enjoy just not to make the animal healthier merely to make the animal appear a plumper and the meat should be whiter and ramosia says it is awesome even though the person stands to gain from it because for this with the soul intention is a arbitrary uh benefit where people are convinced that this meat is more delicious it's not more delicious it says most of the animals that are fat in this way are treyphoids and even if the animal is not a tree from the lung it's a tree from the intestine and a very small percentage of them are healthy so for this type of human need which is an arbitrary human need it's merely tricking people into a delicacy that is not really based in reality ramosha says this would not constitute human need that would supersede sarabalikai so which means in principle there's a concept of not causing distress to an animal says this does not apply when you take the animal's life although there is an issue of the actorious element and gender in the uh in the one who commits it but nevertheless there is a certain guideline that the human need has to be a legitimate based reasonable human need but under those circumstances uh animals were created for the service of men and actually I'll pick up Allah we know we have a concept that animals would like us to eat them in fact you know many uh many people don't understand animal language but actually when a callus says move what the cow is saying is please put me in in your chaunt please eat me because we know I'll pick up all of their four categories of matter there's and the highest elevation is when an animal is consumed he's elevated to the status of Madame so yesterday the animal was just sitting there he couldn't speak and um now that you've consumed him the animals elevated to the status of Madame um foreign should not be eating the meat but for sure by eating Buster it brings a great Aliyah to the Basa okay good afternoon everyone we're headed to the wildlife Conservatory so I would like to continue the theme we've been speaking about regarding sarpali hayim and more specifically animal rights and I just want to uh put into perspective perhaps from a Torah perspective what the view of animal rights is and the grave danger of over emphasizing animal rights has really a magnificent presentation of the two outlooks on life of cayenne and hevel ultimately showing how they were both in error and how that the world did not come to correction until Chase comes to the scene in the opinion of the safer iqrim one of the great reshinamal he brings that what's the reason Cayenne brought a carbon from me prijo Adama Cayenne said to himself Cayenne recognized that man's superiority over animal was very minimal hyen said the only advantage that man has over animal is an animal will eat whatever presents itself the animal is not going to necessarily look for a better tasting grass or better herbage or better plants whatever presents itself to the animal the animal will partake of so therefore man's priority over animal is only that man could could prepare better herbs better grass at this point in time man was not permitted to eat meat so therefore cayenne's carbon his demonstration of what God bestowed upon man was in his opinion man was not allowed to kill animal even to bring a carbon Cayenne felt that man and animal were basically on the same level on the other hand hevel understood the superiority of man over animal but even in the world of hevel hevel felt man was not permitted to kill animals only for the sake of a sacrifice otherwise otherwise just to eat in animals that would be considered murder now hevel was more on the right track meaning hevel understood man's superiority to animals but he still felt man was not permitted to indiscriminately kill animal only for the sake of bring a current Hashem even though Heather was more correct but because his attitude was more likely to lead people astray namely man was greater than animal just man was not permitted to slaughter animal God allowed hevel to be killed because his attitude was corrupt however when hevel brought a carbon Hashem turned to the carbon of heavel and not Cayenne because at least hevel recognized the superiority of man what happened Cayenne makes the following corrupt calculation Cayenne sees hevel brings the carbon he Slaughters an animal is wow murder must be permitted if heavil brings a carbon and he kills an animal and God accepted it cayenne and never occurred to kind well maybe man is superior to animal all Cayenne Seas is heavily killing an animal and God accepts it so it must be murderers permitted so Cayenne said if heavel could kill an animal I'm allowed to kill heaven and that is why Cayenne became a murderer in other words says to say for her ekram animal right and murder are the same because once a person takes animal rights to too far and man and animal become equal that is we're human life loses value and it's interesting says I say for Akram when God comes to cayenne and he says why do you kill your brother old Cayenne took from that is not man a superior to animal he took from that murder is prohibited and I can't kill man and I can kill animal he never got them the message that man is superior to animals not until Chase is born says the safer Akram does apusek says only by the birth of Chase does it say man is created in the image of God because until she is people never recognize the superiority of man what is the superiority of superiority of man that man is created in the image of Hashem and it doesn't say when Kyan was born he was born in the image of God because nobody recognized that it doesn't say by Heaven that he was creating the image of Hashem it wasn't recognized not until the birth of Chase I want to share with you I once set over to say for Holy Graham many years ago someone in our shul I remember his name Josh schachter He pointed out look at the amazing because ultimately what happened to Cayenne Seven Generations later his great great grandson Lemak is going hunting and his son and Limitless blind so his son said shoot s and lemon mistook Cayenne for an animal you see what happens you see them either the because Cayenne did not recognize the superiority a man over animal his punishment was quid pro quo he was mistaken for an animal and ultimately he was killed like an animal and the lesson says the safer Akram is that while sarb it is a fundamental you saw it that man is superior to animal because Man was created in the image of the Creator himself so that's the limit of the episode of cayenne and heaven so before you go to a wildlife conservatory and you see the millions of dollars invested in it recognized wear your tadaka money ought to go and uh important as important as it is to keep animals safe there are much more important things to worry about in this world okay we're here in the Alaska Wildlife Conservatory with our good friend uh Mr Beer brown bear and a reminder at the end of days God will judge the various nations of the world first Rome and then the second Nation to be judged will be Paras Persia and the gemara says how do we know Persia is second gemara cites the pasig and Danielle that's why I'm speaking of the beer because I have a special connection to Bears I think about the plastic then the dream there's a second animal and that was a beer a beer is ranked number two so therefore after Rome uh Paras Persia is Judge second so when you see this Bearer you can remember tysus because tysus asks really a beer is the second most prestigious animal well we know the lion is certainly more prestigious and what nation is compared to the Lionel as compared to the lion so really God should be judging Babylon before he judges Persia Paras why does the beer come before the lion says Tyson even though the lion is the king the king of the jungle the beer is greater than the lion it's stronger and it's more devious so that's an interesting tices so as scary as a lion is according to Tyson Mr bear is even more frightening and more scary so that's what we learned from the beer now Persia is compared to the the beer immerses she's like a beer he's hairy like a beer he sleeps like a beer throughout chance the ministering angel of Paras is that's the ministering angel of Paras what's interesting is the going brings the tradition that Paras today is Russia today is Russia it's interesting then that Russia is also compared to the Beer the beer of Russia as the gemara teaches us the bear represents Paras and according to the going harass today is Mother Russia okay you're passing on these roads we see the amazing topography and geology of this region so I want to speak out uh very important principle about the Jewish understanding of geology in general you know if you study the science of the area the area of the Arctic Ocean be it Alaska be it Canada be it Northern Siberia clearly the climate that exists today is different than the climate that once was because if you look in the permafrost they found horses rhinoceroses oxen mammoths Tigers bison beavers and lions and these are creatures that cannot exist in these climates today so the question is how did they get there a question that the malbum deals with is many fossils are found in the deepest layers of the soil that indicate that the age of the universe is older than our tradition of 5783 years so the malbum speaks at length and by the way the swarna also talks about there were traumatic changes at the time of the marble at the time of the great flood we are the malum explains first the human bones decompose the human bones are the most fragile of all living creatures but then even the bones of massive creatures because of the great earthquakes that opened up the tahim rava the fossils and the bones of animals went to extremely deep down into the soil then so what archaeologists may say indicate that the age of the universe is many hundreds of times older than what we maintain our tradition is clear there were traumatic changes at the time of the marble and that accounts for the animals that are found in the depths of the the fossil record but the malbum and the smyrno teach us something really incredible you know today in Alaska it's a pretty warm day out my understanding is it's from the warmest it gets in uh this area of the world but the for the most uh for the most part it's an extremely cold climate there's a permafrost that's why you have so many mosquitoes you have the tundra area but clearly from the fossil record the climate here in Alaska used to be much more mild so when exactly what was that the plastic says after the marble we've understood promises there will always be day and night there will always be summer winter spring and fall that implies that before the mammal there weren't Seasons there wasn't summer and winter spring and Autumn so thank you so the the album explains that right now in the current state of the world the Earth is tilted on an angle of 23.5 degrees that tilt of the Earth makes it that the sun does not shine on all areas of the earth equally in some areas there are extreme Seasons there's extreme cold there's extreme heat by the equator it's more of an even temperature throughout the year says the malbum and the sparno says the same Before the Flood before the marble the Earth was on a perfect line there was no tilt so if there are no tilt the Sun hits every area exactly the same all areas of the world enjoyed San Diego weather throughout the entire year but because of the marble so Hashem now if you live in San Diego if you have pleasant weather then you're healthier you live longer than album says there's less illness says the Melbourne before the Malibu people lived unusually long lifetimes because they didn't have to deal with the extreme the extremities of the seasons of The Winds of the cold of the Heat and everything that difficult and challenging weather brings now that there's a marble the Earth was tilted on a 23.5 degree tilt now you have extreme weather the lifetime the lifespan of man is diminished and now we have four seasons beyond that before the model you didn't really have day and night there was a lot of sunshine and people didn't have to work as much and the album says that after the marble Hashem gave man more work to do and the more time to work in order to distract man from their desires and their taivas but the bottom line is system album that once the Earth was tilted on 23 half and a half degree tilt so now they're extreme there's extreme weather but Alaska you should have seen what Alaska was like before the marble it was like San Diego so you had lions and tigers yes and bears and all the animals that are found in the permafrost all used to live here in the 49th states which by the way at the time before the great flood it was not the 49th state but at that time you had all the animals that are found in the fossil record today this is uh our true messera based on the Posse because says the helicom album the true testimony of the Torah that makes the foolish wise this is our response to the uh to the discipline of geology who dig into the depths of the earth and find all of these animals in the fossil record so uh it would have been nice to come to Alaska before the model but it is pretty nice to come after the model because uh you know it gives more variety to the area okay thank you very much okay good morning everyone the reward How can there be rewarded there's no reward in this world especially the words right before the last words so it's one thing if the Tara says you get reward but how can it say in the next sentence after it says there's no reward in this world by the way there's reward in this world there's no world reward in this world you can't get reward in this world that you have doing this voice for that you do indeed get a reward for this in this world so today you do the midsize the reward reward is tomorrow is go okay we're here in the Kenya Forest we're overlooking the American bald eagle now it's very interesting in halacha and in terms of identifying the eagle in halacha we know the Torah talks about The Nasher it's the first animal the first bird mentioned of the 20 Birds is the national what is the identity of The Nasher so most interpreted as the eagle but it's not so simple according to uh the Mayan lawyers according to the schools according to many reshine him it is not the eagle it's in their vulture the Griffin vulture so that's it they translated with the Arabic word which is the Griffin which encompasses both species but according to meditation is not legal because it's certainly referring to the highest flying birds like um brings us up to the Pinnacle and the nevertheless the eagle has a very high-flying bird and it's a rare treat to be able to see one up close okay we can't give up this opportunity you know uh so I wanna I wanna share with you on glaciers you might not be familiar what selfie jump has to say about glitches the ship it sure brings down in many mokumos so it's hard to know the power of shelling but here at this place even though you know we'll speak out of Suffolk in hella but we're not sure whether we should make a nice amounts of Mauritius or rivers and seas on a glacier we have not found any of the place to discussed so the strong discusses let's get him shall shell leg form if somebody doesn't hate there's an Indian of Tara again I'm so silly so he says that when a person does the Mitzvah you have to do a missile with a Thierry bread so those who don't reach that madrigo they need a tahara in gehenem is for those who don't do business with uh with the bread when you dab it you have to dive in with a certain fire when you learn you have to learn in a fiery way so that's the role of the gehenam shell shellek who could imagine what again I'm so sad looks like you can imagine you know maybe there's a shower over there it up and that's uh that could be an entrance way but uh Hashem is really one of the the wonders of the world that was nice at the same okay we're still here at the glacier so I want to share with you it's a lifelong question I don't have a good answer we have sugar over here so maybe somebody will share an answer and morale tells us you know the word bracha what does means reboy so if you take the letters of bracha base is two cup is 20. gracious 200 every letter of the word Baroque is multiples meaning uh proliferation it's always wondered cell leg gimmo is free right yeah demo is three laminate is 30. is 300 what's the dimension of three in a I thought I would share that question maybe somebody has a nice approach we're here in Kenai fjord's National Park and we have the remarkable opportunity to see really an astounding sight something extremely rare it's not uncommon to see one two or three even humpback Wheels but here gave us the opportunity to see a mishbacha of it looks like 11 humpback whales we asked the uh Steward what is the likelihood of seeing so many whales is it top uh 50 top 20 percent top 10 percent he said only one percent it's a very unlikely possibility to see so many humpback whales so now the question is does one make the bracha of mishana there's no question humpback whale is a unusual specie a remarkable specie an adult humpback whale ranges from 46 to 56 feet could weigh about 40 tons and it has really a spectacular flute which is its back tail and it blows bubbles from the the blowhole from which it stuns its prey and then traps them so does one make the bracha Michelle it's certainly an unusual creature big Mart tells us keep up someone who sees an elephant a monkey or a keypuff which is unclear what that is you make the bracha Baruch and this is interestingly the opinion of the outcome Yosef in held that this broadcast only said on an elephant or a monkey foreign so the question is would you make abraha on an unusual fish on the unusual Marine creature so in the safe Earth they asked if this question do you make a bracha on Doug do you make mishana no you don't make the bracha the gemara's examples although they are lavdafka but since they're all examples of and the gemara doesn't say dog him therefore you would only make the brachayos and not talking it's interesting but let's put on the safer come his he says he doesn't know the reason why but the bottom line is indifference one would not make a mashana habriel is on a humpback whale but one can only Marvel at the plan and design of such an amazing creature Hashem what a spectacular opportunity here in the kinee fjords seeing so many humpback whales up close 11 of them and you see literally hundreds of birds converging on the whales as they're feeding and it reminds me of the gemara and Rosh Hashanah and Allah says on Thursday has some created birds and fish to praise His name so we see there's a there's a commonality between the birds and the fish so why why are these birds converging over here well you see the whales are feeding and the whales have an astounding way with which they feed from their blowholes these humpback whales they blow bubbles now what do these bubbles do the bubbles stun the prey so when you see the fluke being raised up that means the the whales are going to dive deep down they may go 20 meters below the water and they're gonna swim up and as they swim up they're gonna blow these bubbles from their blowholes and the bubbles will stun the small fish in the area and then the whales will swim up with their mouths gaping wide but even more astounding sometimes the whales will swim upward in a spiral and while they're swimming upward in a spiral they're gonna be blowing bubbles and this these bubbles create a circular net and it traps the fish so the fish form these clusters and then they rise up with their mouth gaping wide so as the whales are swimming up the birds say why should we go and look for isolated prey we we could save our energy we'll uh piggyback off of these whales and we'll share the lunch so they sort of share the birds don't take anything away from the whales because they're basically eating their shirayam so this is an example of what the gemara says a commonality between the birds and the fish but also we can't help but think there's another commonality because although we hear the birds uh quite clearly they're chirping they're singing but the sonar here on the boat is also picking up the song of the whale so we'll stop for a moment to to focus on listening to the song over the world oh foreign so I interviewed one of the stewards and I asked you know we saw we saw remarkable things was this top 50 of trips on the water top 20 top 10 percent top one percent and he said by far top one percent of any of the trips he's ever made Hashem we had a remarkable opportunity I want to speak about fish and uh we're gonna play a little game we have here the yamana rum season is coming up we have here the book The Mystery and the Majesty so whoever gets the right answer to this question will win a free book the mystery and the Majesty why do you think I like fish I'm gonna give you a little hint first of all my initials okay for this one for this one uh I'm not giving out the book but that's just a hint why do you think I like fish something to do with my initials what do you say DG now look there you go Daniel glancing so but what does it have to do what about my middle name anybody know my middle name Jay how do you know Jay well you saw me sign a check or something why are people 's other people's profile on there WhatsApp you know before I talk about the fish sorry to tell you mind your own WhatsApp profile you know yeah but good try whoa close okay I'll say close almost no my father that's my father's name and we're Ashkenazi so that's not my name so I'm like a fisherman a dialogue but the question is this is the tough one what's my connection to Doug IM and now um it has nothing to do with me and my father I know what that means no not mother born in other no clothes Daniel Jacob gladstein Ben you are safe okay that's uh okay so nobody won the book good because I wasn't planning on giving it to anyone anyway no but we'll we'll have other opportunities to win the book uh we know the mug in a rum tells us that some information he brings the safer tikune Shabbos one should eat fish all three meals on Shabbos Friday night shout out today you should have some fish and by the way they're interesting comment to the mag and Abram the fisherman used to try to jack up the prices because they knew Jews had to buy fish so brings from the SEMA zedek not to be confused that you heard of this is the earliest his name is he says if the fishermen hike up the prices then you know eat meatballs or something no you don't have to eat fish on Shabbos so what's the Indian of eating fish conchavas I want to share with you two thoughts first of all fish are a unique creature fish are the only creature they have a rice they have a goof they're only missing one thing I don't have a neck they don't have a Sava they have no neck they're a head and a goof mahub Al what's the significance of that that a fish does not have a neck there is an amazing some soy for them some super writes about this in many places some Surfer tells us that who is our rice the rice who's the ghost the Claudia so the Jewish people are the body what attaches Israel comes down to the world and up through the basement or the TV lights go up so today is the pipeline the passageway the attachment the point of connection between our colors as well however since was not the original plan and is not the final plan the original plan was the original plan is the original plan was the Revenge of world West will dwell in the screen on every on every two in fact revancham will dwell on us so why will we need a base she says in fact we won't need obesity we'll only need a base to bring carbon eyes but the shrina will rest on every Jew what do we refer to as the time of the future where we won't need a basement as a place to house the shrina that is called dog represents the akrasayamim when we won't need it Savar when we won't need a point of connection to attaches so by the way just parenthetically we saw many fish in the sea there's one other animal that also has no neck and that is Yehuda glassine he wins the mystery in the Majesty I have to keep it in the family no the pig the hazard has no neck why does the pig have no neck because it says it represents ASAP all the other nations of the world they have a Tsar they have a ministering Angel there's a nation and there's some type of connection between the two asab the samach are always in any event is referred to as the dog I once saw in one of the storm of Friedman you suggest but the reason why we eat fish on Chavez is because Shabbos is it represents Allah and therefore we eat fish on Shabbos but there's another reason we eat fish on Fish and Chavez a lot of people ask me if I'm going to talk about the leviasa yes we're gonna talk about the living outside raise your hand if you take a shower before Shabbos no I know it's a personal question just you know my personal advice is it's always a good idea but definitely at least once a week right true what do you say at least once a week most of the time most of the time okay now a Jewish thought the shower is supposed to be very hot why is this shower supposed to be very hot because our Shabbos is a reenactment every week on Shabbos we remind ourselves of the purpose of creation we remind ourselves therefore all of the repasts of shadas so for example in Allah we're going to have sudas leviasa says a cadmin the name of the Khan is he says the reason why we have fish on Shabbos is to reenact ahilas levinas so whether you have gefilte fish whether you have salmon whether you have sushi obviously it's supposed to be the filter fish but even if you Veer off the uh additional Jewish foods fish why is a Zeta to the future suit of of the leviasa says that's why we eat meat on Shabbos because we're going to partake of the bar that's why we have the matter says we're going to have them on however in order to get to says sometimes you need some purification in the higher dinar in the burning hot fiery Waters of dinar therefore before we enjoy Shabbos we take off burning hot shower and that represents and reflects The Passage through Nahar dinar before you see you see what what yiddin could do we could take gehenem and we make a hot shower out of it so that's the uh Indian of all the hagima of Shabbos are in order to react reenact the Indian of the youngster so we have two reasons to eat fish on Chavez one it reminds us of lots of love ice when we won't need the base and number two reminds us of yasan and I don't know if the humpback whale is Olivia son but uh it's as close as you're gonna see before Michelle comes okay we're gonna take a moment with his boy named okay back at it with the fish I want to say over what uh we have a very close of a rub on the trip and I wanna say what a pleasure it's been to have a Republican River Ikea on the trip together with me uh he shares so many beautiful Dave Torah and it really it's been a big idea for me to be together with him and his Husband Robinson I learned a lot from them first of all isos that they have over here in this mishwaka you have the bells let's see if I get it right your Bells roof shame clean bald klingberg M2 no routine clean version which I'm a very big admirer of a safer the rabbit is from the majority yeah how am I doing so far yeah not bad and that's that's only so the rock shared with me a beautiful idea from the manager another reason why we eat fish on Chavez and that's because uh tells us there are three items that were in this operations we know dog him Hashem was Hashem isabes so it's a triple bracha hamashulas that's another beautiful reason we have fish on Shabbos I also want to mentioned says that the reason we have fish on Shabbos is that we know that gehenam is not showing on Shabbos so you take your hot shower you come out of the gehenam and you're good to go is not sure that on Shabbos the same way the age of the marble was not surely laid on the Duggan we know in the marble the doggone were saved so to indicate that the fires of gehenam are not operable on Shabbos so we have okay now here's your trivia question to win a free copy of the mystery on the Majesty Shabbos I already give you a big hint we say sir and the final pasok we say twice why do we repeat the last person another time why do we repeat anybody know I never knew this my whole life I didn't know this until I saw there's a news safer there's miroskyevsky writes told him based on the magala mukas it was just the yard side of magalamukai's by the way my Robinson is directors tells us that there there are every Thriller you say takes an hour and a half which means four and a half hours a day the gehennam is not operable so how many hours a week does gehennum not operate well you have 24 hours on Shabbos and then you have four and a half hours a day so throughout the course of the week gehennum only operates 117 hours there are 112 words in the ocean we say again to get to 117 words can I get 117 hours that Gahanna operates during the week because of what Shabbos is over then it's you know back to that place so to protect from that we we say so and we we say the final pasta with five so I want to talk more about the fish you know there's an interesting thing there's an interesting there's an interesting uh idea that until after the marble other mauritian was not allowed to eat meat was not allowed to eat meat mankind was not allowed any meat other was not permitted to meet other was only permitted to eat So Adam was allowed to eat salad and leaves and greens it's a tough existence there you know in Ghanaian but Adam was not permitted to eat meat not until after the marble so my bound is troubled okay what happened after the marble though that all of a sudden Adam was allowed since the animals were only saved in the Merit of of Nayak since the animals were only spared if not for Nayak the animals would have all perished in the novel The the animals that were saved in the Teva were only best so since they were saved in his house it's only right he should be allowed to eat them by the way there are dark adds not only were they saved in his Merit but he was also matriach he also went through the trouble of taking care of the animals so as a reward for caring for the animals now man is allowed to eat for the animals but not the fish the fish survived the mammal so what why is the fish the only reason he's allowed to eat the meat is because he saved them but he didn't save the fish so if he didn't save the fish then why is he allowed to eat the fish so says the abnenezer this is what they say in sausage was not allowed to eat the fish it was prohibitive for him to eat the fish so when did it become Mr friendly to fish at Cabo sanran when was the Torah given on Shabbos says the reason we have fished on Shabbos is because fish only became Mudder to eat on Shabbos okay but this is a major question because Gamora and Sanhedrin seems to say explicitly that okay maybe you'll give a different answer maybe you'll say that Adam harishime himself was allowed to eat fish from the beginning of creation so maybe the fish didn't become Mother by the Teva maybe the fish were always mother but the grandson hedgens says very clearly that Adam harishchain was not allowed to eat the fish so now the question is so when did the fish become mother says that the fish became permitted after the marble I the ramban says the only reason why my wife was allowed to eat the fish is because he cared for the fish maybe it's because he he cared for the animals but uh Nayak was not caring for the fish the fish survived says well we know there's a well-known principle shall I take the master voracious Hashem doesn't want to make jealousy if he's eating if other reason of eating moose if Nayak is eating moose and he's eating caribou and he's eating steak then the fish are going to be like you know boasting huh you can't eat meat so in order to keep a certain level of equality Hashem allowed other mauritians to eat fish as well others say there's a commentary on the ramban the late seon he says that it wasn't push it for the fish to survive the only reason the fish survive how did the fish survive the whole Atlantic Ocean was like a burning fire so live ceiling says well the fish escaped they went to a comfortable climate yeah how were the fish able to escape they're only able to escape so even the fish's survival was in the Merit of Nayana so that's another approach that why the fish became permitted others suggest that in fact adavari shine was allowed to eat fish from the very beginning this seems to be the opinion of the even Ezra that other Maurice shine was allowed was indeed uh allowed to eat fish from the start so next time you have fish you could review like uh for one of the earlier that we spoke about when uh when you see a zayas if you remember the Sherman of kazasim when you see a kasoira when you see a taina when you see a date you remember that the world is a world of Torah every finger represents another halacha the Zara and so too when it comes to dogum dogum is a whole Islam because they asked like an island okay hi everyone you were probably wondering what directory could we say about Alaskan Sports now this is very important we just talked about various Alaskan sports for example uh knuckle bouncing the knuckle hop knuckle-hopping we also learned about the ear pulling and the purpose and the objective of the air pulling is uh in the case of frostbite the years are from the first limbs to be frost breaded the to see what kind of man you are they want to man you up toughen you up to see whether you can handle a little coldness by the ear you know we have something similar like American super says enough ham and Bays person should be careful not to allow their ears to hear idle chatter the first limb to be singed in the Purgatory are the ears the ears are the first limb to be sin similar to the fact that the heroes are the first to be frostbitten therefore one should always be careful what their ear listens to sometimes a person is tired and they turn on nonsense they're not even listening to him they just want to be lulled into sleep so you say what am I supposed to listen to That's why nothing is going to be posting all of the clips of uh this year and you could run it in a loop you could be listening to it now until the next Avira Torres so just listen to one share after another because you want to exercise your ears so that when you get upstairs you want it's like you have um ear warmers on your ears when you get upstairs you're protected so this is an important exercise that we do in this world we make sure that not only our all of our limbs whole and we do miss us with them we're even careful what we listen to and this is one of the lessons of Alaskan sports that in our observance we're careful even what we listened to thank you drew for that uh lesson okay okay everyone this is our last stop we're here at ship Creek and this is really well this this we're here at really an amazing exhibit of something demonstrated in the Bria of what applies to man we know we started off first talk we gave about around that everything in this world reflects a certain aspective but there's also another idea because man is a microcosm of the universe the relevance of men so just picture for yourself up the river they get a little bit older they venture out into the ocean they go out into the Big World they make it in the Big World in the salt water and then at two years old or three years old something Clicks in their brain that they have to give over to the next generation and they have to return they have to return to their origin they have to return to where they were born and they're going to swim upstream jumping over waterfalls over Bears over Eagles Upstream and almost super salmon way and they return to their place of origin what element of man do you think the salmon represents this is the Indian of chuva there is no more Vivid illustration in this world than the salmon run of the Instinct of man that at the end of life before you return back to your creator you have to make sure to do chuva you know review says what's not just returning package shuva is returning to yourself returning to who you could be being the best that you could be and this is really vividly illustrated by the salmon run where they go hundreds of miles and somewhere programmed in their brain they return to their exact moment of origin so here we are we're a little bar and when you come to the yamana rum remember the last stop here in Alaska of the chuva of the great salmon one of the most fascinating aspects of traveling to Alaska is the subject of the International Date Line and therefore the fundamental question when is Shabbos in Alaska is there a suffix regarding when Chavez's in Alaska to me this was one of the most amazing questions that needed to be addressed based on our traveling to Alaska so the first thing that is in order to understand this question is to have a clear understanding on the suffix that does exist regarding Japan and Hawaii and once we have a clear understanding why Japan and Hawaii presents a very basic Suffolk regarding when shabbos's we could understand whether Alaska is subject to the very same Suffolk now in order to appreciate this we have to have clear the well-known masalikis about the International Day line between the khazonish and ribisio missile tikachinski the Kazo initials of the opinion that the International Date Line is at 125.2 degrees latitude this line goes cuts through Mainland Russia the Philippines part of Indonesia and Australia this line is exactly 90 degrees east of ushalaim so current International Day line is 90 degrees east of yushalayim ski on the other hand holds that the international deadline is exactly opposite yerushalayim so in other words if you had a globe and you shall I am is on one side of the globe exactly opposite yerushalayim would be the International Date Line add according to Ruby films 144.8 west longitude this Dateline cuts through Mainland Alaska and it really splices Alaska into two where Juno the capital would be on the East and Anchorage would be on the west now we were headed to Anchorage and the question is is Anchorage when is Shabbos in Anchorage so let's explain Hawaii and Japan for a moment Hawaii and Japan are many many hours behind technically they're many hours behind New York so when it's Shabbos in New York it's technically Friday in Japan in Hawaii the only thing is there is the a civil Dateline where Hawaii is still Friday and Japan would then be the same Shabbos as it is for us so let's speak about Hawaii when you travel to Hawaii from New York to Hawaii you are crossing the Dateline of reviews so even though Hawaii would be Friday according to abuse since you've crossed the day line it then is Advanced to Shabbos so what is Shabbos in New York is Shabbos in Hawaii according to abhishra but according to the sazonish you have not crossed the International Day line you have not crossed the Civil day line so according to khazonish Friday is Shabbos in Hawaii let's talk about Japan if you're traveling to Japan so Japan is many hours earlier and you encounter a very similar situation where you're traveling many hours earlier Japan is many hours earlier than it is in New York according Japan even though technically Friday should be Shabbos the Civil day line makes Shabba shabbosinski his International Day line that you cross makes a Shabbos but according to the news it is not Shabbos yet according to the khazonish even though it's a Friday the Civil Dateline doesn't make uh doesn't change the observance the lion doesn't change the observance according to the sazonish Friday would be Shabbos so according to um Hawaii and Japan would be observed on uh what the Civil calendar says is Saturday and according to the housing ish no it is Friday so Hawaii and Japan presents a real Suffic direisan therefore the post can say then in these two locations one would be required to observe two days of Shabbos at least on halachos because again Hawaii and Japan for smack in between the International Date Line of Ruby style because it's a Suffolk dirisa and Hawaii and Japan two days need to be observed the same thing would apply to the Aleutian Islands trailing off the tail end of Alaska because you meet the International Day line of rabbis you do not meet the International Day line of the khazanus so the elusian islands are the same Suffolk and there there is no question if you travel there you're gonna have to observe two days of Shabbos Friday you've crossed the Dateline and Shabbos because you have not crossed the Dateline the question though is mainland Alaska so you say what's the question shouldn't Mainland Alaska be the exact same Suffolk whatever is west of the International Day line of reviews would say no Saturday is Shabbos so it wouldn't seem at first glance that if somebody is going to be in Alaska for Shabbos in in Anchorage they should keep two days of shabbosa Friday and Shabbos so I called rosh small first in Chicago and I want to thank my good friend in Baltimore Rabbi David Haber who uh shared with me this map of the datelines that he created as well as he explained to me many of the details of these first explained that Mainland Alaska is not a question and only one day needs to be to be observed and this is according to all opinions and this is and there's no reason to avoid going to Mainland Alaska for Shabbos and explained as follows if you look at the map much of Mainland Australia and especially the place where they're Jewish communities let's say Melbourne or Sydney they are on the east side of the International Date Line according so Mainland Australia should also be a Suffolk where according to epistle methol the Friday of which the Civic Dateline uh says is Saturday should be Shabbos and according to the khazonis Saturday which the at the Civil day line should say it would say Sunday should be Shabbos so Mainland Australia should be a Shyla according to the hazelinish but Khazana says it's not a child at all and the reason ish adds a following says as a concept of Guerrera of dragging along that since the west of Australia which is on the west of the Dateline is considered oh it's not Shabbos until the next day therefore likewise me in other words the same way the west side of the Dateline is considered already the next day in other words uh what the the Civil Dateline says Shabbos is Shabbos so the east coast is schlepped along and is subject to the exact same halachic Dateline in other words the hazelner says the following principle that it's incongruous then you could have on one side of the street they observe Shabbos on Saturday and one side of the street they observe Shabbos on Friday that would that make any sense but that's what would come out because those locations on the west side of the Dateline they're going to observe Shabbos on Friday and what's on the east side of the deadline they're going to observe Shabbos so because that is incongruous kazoir says the entire land mass is schlepped to the West and therefore Mainland Australia is not as Suffic at all because the entire continent is considered to have already crossed the Dateline according accordingly Australia is simple than Saturday Shabbos according to a BCL missile you've crossed his day line and according to Causeway news you've crossed his day line through the principle of Guerrera and in Australia nobody has a suffix there have been Greek communities there for a very long time with many great post game and never was there ever a suffix as to when shabbos's in Australia because of the uh the concept of Greater therefore assessor of first Alaska we would apply the same rationale of Guerrera that even though technically you've crossed the dayliner of isil Michal after Juno but nevertheless Mainland Alaska get schlepped to the East and is subject to the same d-line as the entire mainland of the United States of America and therefore even though technically you've crossed the International Day line of museumski because of the concept of Guerrero we say the entire Alaska gets pulled to the east side and therefore says there is no problem of going to Alaska going to Anchorage and keeping one day Shabbos I asked him you know I don't have to go there for Shabbos I couldn't I could fly back and he said yes the entire Alaska is a subject to the Dateline of the rest of Mainland USA however I did hear that other rambonim maintained differently and this was said over in the name of David Feinstein that Mainland Alaska would be a Suffolk just like the Aleutian Islands now why would that be don't we say Guerrero regarding Australia definitively why wouldn't we say Guerrero regarding Alaska and what robot Feinstein is reputed to have said is that we see Gray Road to Mainland Australia because there we're dealing with the Dateline and the Sazon is held of Guerrera definitively and since held of of Guerrera definitively at Mainland Australia is considered subject to the Dateline of the West Coast of Australia but now when we're dealing with Alaska we're dealing with the international daily was not definitive Pursley was mesopic about Guerrera and since he was musubik about Guerrera they're indeed is a suffix so in other words when you go to Anchorage Alaska it's really a spec seika because according to the karazunas you have not crossed the Dateline and according to be filming even if you have crossed the day line maybe you say Guerrera but there was enough of a question here that revdavid Feinstein is reputed to have advised people to who need to be in Alaska for Shabbos to go to Juno which is on the east coast of the daylight now in my humble opinion it would seem that there shouldn't be a question over here because the issue of Guerrera is a separate issue than where the Dateline is and regarding the issue of Guerrero we definitively hold yes Guerrera there is Guerrera but nevertheless in deference to to what is said or in the name of those Feinstein I decided to avoid any questions even though um there were people who did stay in Anchorage for Shabbos and I think that that's a legitimate position that there really is no doubt but in defense of the advising I wanted to avoid any possible question regarding Shabbos and uh we flew back to New York for shadesh it's a good thing we didn't stay in Juno because the Shabbos we were going to go to Juno there were historic floods in Juno in suicide basin so this is uh gives you a little bit of a picture of the issue that Mainland Alaska deals with on the one hand you cross the deal and Robin on the other hand if you say Guerrera then the Dateline would be of Alaska would still be subject to Mainland USA so again well we are personal uh hanhaga was we avoided the issue entirely but there seems like there is genuine basis to say that Mainland Alaska in fact is not a question but the Aleutian Islands of Alaska certainly are a question as are Hawaii and Japan wishing everyone here's the million dollar question regarding the International Date Line for a fuller understanding of the subject I refer you to the earlier class that we gave on the subject but here's the executive summary there's a well-known between khazainish holds the International Day line is 90 degrees east of ushalai it runs through Russia Philippines Indonesia and Australia while the opinion is International Day line is 144.8 degrees longitude West this line is exactly parallel to yerushalayim so on a globe yerushalayim is on one side exactly parallel is International Date Line according in our previous presentation we introduced the concept of Guerrera regarding the International Date Line regarding Mainland Australia even though only the West Coast of Australia is past the day line according to the khazainesh nevertheless all of Australia I'm sure it was the same Shabbos and the reason for that is we say Guerrera we say that once part of the continent is considered the next day the entire continent is considered that day so in other words even though only the West part has crossed the Dateline nevertheless we say that the entire continent has crossed the International Day line and all the continent observes Shabbos on Shabbos but let's think about the grayer over here the east is being pulled to the West there seems to be an inconsistency in the concept of greira when it comes to Alaska because Alaska has the International Day Lottery right through it and there are many posts can say that the part of Alaska which is past the Dateline we say Guerrera and it's pulled to mainland United States of America so since Mainland has not crossed the deadline I'll let the main body of Alaska has not either but why is it that when it comes to Alaska and the world pulls the West to the east while when it comes to Australia the East is pulled to the West now maybe you'll say Alaska you have to pull the West to the east because it's only a small piece and the rest of the continent is much larger so logically the West should be pulled to the east well then why Boy by Australia do we pull the majority of the content continent to the West some suggest that it's because since Australia is already so close to yushalayim then we're going to pull that area toward yerusha line but Alaska is further so we're gonna pull it to Mainland USA this is certainly not a clear answer and this is one of the green Mysteries of the halach day line why it would be that Mainland Alaska is pulled to the east regarding the Dateline and the content of Australia the majority of it is pulled to the West so this is a question for your uh consumption and I hope this will this question will put into sharp Focus some of the the location of the day line and some of its main principles wishing everyone safe travels okay everyone just some closing thoughts uh first we want to give a tremendous Yasha kayak to uh we're coming to uh new Terrain this is not like any other trip that we've done uh Avira torza does not have any set kitchens here so we're coming to New

A lot of good luck and success in all your future endeavors thank you to our our great bus driver Lou is there he is a Manning the roads uh navigating through Bears Eagles mosquitoes mystical moose and making sure that we're always safe so we wish you a continued safe travels God bless you and look forward to seeing you again soon just uh one closing thought this week's fashion we have the mitsub versus Amazon uh benching and one interesting thing we observe about benching is that aside for thanking Hashem for the food we're required to thank Hashem for Bismillah for for a Tyra for aratu Israel and for many of the benefits that are reserved for the Jewish people and you may ask here it is you had a salami sandwich you ate uh bread why are you thanking Hashem for prismilo I thanking Hashem for a Torah why are you thanking us him for all these benefits and I think the reason is if you look carefully in the sukum the plastic says you are the most blessed of all the nations and then it says therefore satiated and you'll bench Hashem meaning you have to bless Hashem not only for the food but you have to bless Hashem because he blessed you more than any other nation and you have to acknowledge that and therefore is an expression of gratitude not only for the food but in all the ways that we are blessed more than any other Nation namely Israel and this is really clearly enunciated in I brought in this mirror is so it's clear that the reason for Vietnam is because and this is something we saw very much in our trip thousands of people come to Alaska thousands of people come to Denali were from the one percent that saw the mountain clearer than anybody else thousands of people come to Via Fords in Kanai and we're from the one percent that saw 11 humpback whales and so all those birds converging upon them so even in our trip to Alaska we see was with us he gave us special and uh so we thank you not only for being able to be here but for The Unique opportunity that he provided for us and if anybody wants to really re-experience this trip because as you're traveling it's hard to really digest everything I want to give a big action kayak to him move forward 96 hours straight was holding his hand in a position he now is able to enter the Alaskan um Olympics because uh you know when you're hunting for moose I don't know if you know this if you're hunting you have to be able to hold your hands in this position for a very long time so thank you if nothing who's gonna be posting all the clips there are many many more to come thank you very much everybody wishing you well
