you're ready we signed you up ready okay okay anybody any if you and for you and all of your friends um okay so the rashban was of course the grandson of rashi so we we've we're now up to the third generation of the house of rashi spoken arashi uh we have not yet spoken about rashi's two son-in-laws rashi had two son-in-laws uh rashi had two daughters miriam miriam was married to the rivan and uh her rashi's second daughter yoshaved was married to rabbinu mayor was otherwise known as aviharabanam the father of the rabbis which is a very distinguished title now ramirez was one of the ballet hatoysus in his own right but what a mayor is renowned for israel mayor had four great sons all of them were hadaris in their own right last week we learned about the youngest rabbino yaakov mayor rabino tam actually he wasn't the youngest we're going to see he had a younger brother but that younger brother was so much younger than him that rabbenotamo is considered himself the youngest and today we're going to learn about the oldest son of rabbi no mayor his name was rabbenua so rashi again had two daughters actually rashi had a third daughter as well but she her marriage was not successful so we don't know much about her i believe her name was rachel and her marriage did not last the rashi's well-known two daughters who actually were great scholars in their own right rashi's two daughters were miriam and miriam again married to the rivan the rivan is the one who picked up barashi in the end themselves as i'm sure we're familiar with the rashbom the rashbom's commentary is found in the 10th paragraph of sakhim and our repsorchem also in the majority of masada baba so let's begin with the story it's always nice to start with a story and this will give us a little bit of a glimpse and a little bit of a picture to understand the life and times of the rashban the mordecai in the end of the first paragraph mentions there are two things rashbam wanted to do and he was not successful in either of them the first thing was he and the reason he was not successful is enacted god doesn't let sadikim slip up he guards them from making an error the first thing the rajbam wanted to do he wanted to let people drive cars on chavez actually get into a car on shops so you say they didn't have cars all right they didn't have cars but they had wagons he wanted to allow uh you know like a tesla you know let's say somebody else opens the door you get in i mean tesla doesn't need a driver you know somebody puts in okay go here and it drives on its own basically so the the rajbam wanted to allow people to go onto wagons on shabbos they have meritos what's the problem it's already the self-enclosed area but shamayim they did not allow him to issue this hether and here's the second thing the rashfound wanted to do the rajbam was shifal anayam he kept his eyes down when the rajbam walked in the street he didn't walk you know you know so what's going on who's that guy across the street what's going on what's that sign on the bus the raj bam walked around with his eyes down and because he worked with his eyes down he had to take transportation sometimes so there was a wagon in front of him and the rajm didn't see he was being led by a horse and a mule which is client and he was about to get into the wagon he didn't realize and a miracle happened someone stopped him you know who stopped him rabbenu tom from last week robino tom happened to be there and robin utam even though he had the utmost respect for his older brother as we mentioned uh raveno tam's primary rebbe was the rashvam was his older uh older brother rashford was at least 10 years older than rabbi nutham and rabino tam said dear brother don't be such a frumi don't be so religious don't be such a sadiq lift up your eyes and look where you're going you can't just go on a wagon what if it's a terrorist who wants to hijack you wants to kidnap you kid is going a wagon don't be such a saddik lift up your eyes there's a horse there's a ferret there's a mule and he didn't go that's the story so the the rash bomb was going on he was uh walking he needed to get on a wagon and he had a dilemma his practice is he doesn't look around on the other hand you know you never know what kind of wagon he could be getting on so the rajaram said this is my practice i'm not going to forego my practice of hasidus i'm going to continue to keep my eyes lowered i it might be a pitfall but hashem a miracle happened god saved him through the medium of rabinu tan so the question is if the restaurant was such a big sadiq why was he not concerned that the wagon that he would unknowingly go on might be led by a horse and a mule after all are not makbid on the laws of client when they drive wagons right going that's not one of their humras and and when they go to their base tiflos the priest doesn't get up you know fellow you really need to be more careful from getting into wagons with horses and mules they don't that's not one of their things it's not one of their things so the question is why would the rajbam sort of put his head in the sand and just head on to a wagon unknowingly this is the kasha of ravnasan gestatner with nasa geschtetner and the safer secrets so he was giving a malava malkashir and he asked this question on the story brought by the mordechai in aravind surah nasim gestetner in his and also in the safer lahiri says the following amazing approach and it goes as follows we've discussed in the shiram over the years i think we even had an eonshare when we were learning this principle that god does not allow the righteous to stumble is this is this a absolute principle does god never allow the righteous stomach that means a righteous people could never sin and yet there are some righteous people that i've heard about that they've committed a sinner to in their life for example that that the gemara says was told that you're not allowed to read by the light of the ner on friday night you're not only read by the candlelight and what did he do he said not a problem i'll read and i won't tilt and he read and he tilted so they recorded in a document that when mashiach comes he's going to bring a fat cow as a carbon katas or yehuda ben tabai he killed an aide zoi name or somebody in your valmeston torres safe return is anger and it's interesting veer the gemara doesn't ask what do you mean god doesn't even allow the animals of the righteous to stumble right there's a principle god does not even allow the animals of the righteous to stumble so if you have an animal and this is the animal of the righteous he will the animal the righteous will not eat tevel god will protect the animal from eating teva so sometimes in shasta the gemara asks how could the that sadik do navera god even protects the animal from stumbling certainly that sadiq himself said that the gemara only asked this question by israel by prohibited food because it's a big ganai for a saddiq to eat something that's not kasha by the way in se for hayosha or they know tara benatam says i'll piracha kodash that sadiq will be marga she's eating something that's not kosher and it'll be very disturbing to him so the gamora will only challenge and say well god doesn't god protect the righteous god only protects the righteous from eating forbidden foods not from desecrating shabbos and not from killing innate zomaim and not from ripping suffrage torah so this even asks what do you mean revere ravier mia once forgot and ate before havdalah so tyson says he ate kosher food it was just at a prohibited time it's like you know guys walk into shoal with coffee now the schule is not starbucks right there's something called starbucks it's a coffee shop and there's something called the shul it's not like a thing oh i walk into so with like a big cup of coffee or even a bottle of water you know the chat this morning once you dive in chakras you know drink water before kiddish you could be you could be an astronaut you could be about fila about kairei can't drink water before kiddish whatever you you could be i don't know what you know you're studying uh cures you can't he can't eat before a kid there's twice this asks but this great rabbi drank before now you ought to drink water before abdullah that result says he shouldn't but may icard then you're allowed to drink water for them not for kiddush once he died in it's not like um it's not a bar it happens to be a show's not a bar it's not a barn but uh you you eat outside and then you leave all your beverages and liquids and hydration outside the shul and then you come into the shul and you pray to the almighty those are these there's we have two locations in this we have outside of the shore that's for your personal needs and we have inside of the shia that's where you connect with the lord okay anyway that was just a free public service announcement so so rabbi no time says god will only protect the righteous from eating forbidden foods god will not protect the righteous from eating permitted foods at the wrong time that's rabbin with ham shita in the sector we have a very interesting gemara the ignorance is like this there was a guy who said to his friend now the guy was a right he was seriously ill he said first my properties can go to you and then it's going to go to so and so the resha and roy leo the first recipient was an inheritor of the one who is giving it over to him so the first recipient was an inheritor of the benefactor so the first guy died when the first recipient died also shiny caught up the second receiving came and said i want it now the the inheritors of the first guy said it's ours so revival judges who compromise they rule that way what's a judge that compromises a unlearned judge basically a judge who doesn't know the halacha he sits there he strokes his beard and he says you know i think you should split it meaning the guy doesn't never cracked open his life he has no no he doesn't know any allah he figures okay let's split it you know that's what a judge that compromises is basically an amma or it's unless you know even though a dying should always compromise but that yes the first know what the is anyways rabbit got very embarrassed so robert said don't worry curry lay any hashem i am god i will hasten the mashiach in its right time says rashbam what rubble is telling revelation don't sweat it that's why god sent me to you in the flesh of time to correct you from making this unlearned sock i bailed you out just right away you're right you made a mistake but hashem loves you so he sent me to correct you so you shouldn't make an error why says the rash bomb enacted yeshua hashem fine saves them just in a split second so says we have nothing gestating or from here we see there's a basic mahalakas between the rajaban and rabbenutam regarding the principle of enhanced barakum how far does god go to save the righteous rabbenu tom says only food you know you go into a kosher restaurant you say i want to order the double burger with the fakin raken thing whatever it's called right i want fake it on my burger oh sorry sir we're out of it today it's a good thing they're out of it because that was no fake and that was that was that was the real thing so hashem will only save the righteous from food issues the rajabama on the other hand says no god will save someone even from making an improper decision regarding sakhalakha so even rav elish who is about to award the second wrongful inheritor was protected because of of the principle in our colors so we have this very interesting between rabino tam and rashma rabino thom says you're only protected from eating cheeseburgers food and the rashvam says you protect protected from everything so it comes says bam in the story where the rajaram put his eyes down [Music] they're going according to their their shita the rashbom the question was how could the rashbound put his head down but maybe he's gonna end up on a on a tesla red led by a horse and a mule the answer is he doesn't have to worry the rash ram knew he was at sadiq like you know raven writes that rab shimbari knew he was the sadiq that's why he said i could exempt the whole world from midas haden because he knew he was assad rashford knew he was the saddik god's going to save him from eating cheeseburgers and from going on wagons with horses and mules so as mom said look i always walk around with my eyes looking down and i'm always careful because i don't want to see anything indecent should i put on my glasses and look around just to be careful i don't have to do that i'm exotic i don't have to worry god will protect me from inadvertently getting onto horses and mule-led wagons said you can't do that why because availa time says god only protects you from eating uh food which is not kosher so rabbi no time said you can't be such a saddik you need to keep your eyes open you can't rely on the fact that god's going to protect you and save you from getting onto a wagon led by a donkey and a horse because you can't rely on that god's not going to protect you from that so the rajbam who holds god protects sadiq and from any sin felt that he had now we see a very important principle from here namely that it's not a good idea to be gawking and looking around and and you know who's across the street no the practice of a genuine aspiring to be righteous jew is to keep their eyes to themselves you ain't going to see anything that's going to improve your life it's just going to want you want it's just going to make you want more want something that you don't need you don't have or you can't get you're always better just keeping the eyes and limited who's across the street you'll never know now don't worry what you don't know it won't hurt you so look how far the rajbam went to maintain this practice he made he went so far that rajbam made the conscious decision to not look even though it could be that he's going to get on a wagon with a mule and horse and it was a wagon to be on a horse and hashem had to change over the world and get rabino tom over there to save his skin still the rashfam said look this is a very important practice now i would have said that rabbi nutan is still challenging the restaurant rabbit time says look i know you feel that god protects the righteous from any sin but that's only that if you do your due diligence god will protect the righteous from inadvertently stumbling in any type of sin but if you're going to be an ostrich and put your head in the sand you can't rely on that if you're not doing your own hishtadlas but anyway this gives you a little bit of a picture of the maybe the personalities of the rash bombing rabbino time was a very righteous sadiq and that was his practice to always look down now i want to share with you another story where maybe this macholicus also plays a role and that is the hall of israel you know and in europe you can't drink milk that's not khabib because uh you know you never know what kind of animal they get getting the milk from you know you can't you can't rely on the government standards in america ramosa has a hideous that that the companies would never want to violate the code and put in the milk from a different animal that's what moshe is so but there's still certainly a uh a uh um that a jew has to be present at the time of the milking why they have to be there the whole time do they have to be like watching every squeeze both hands on the on the the cow imagine if um the the guy's about to squeeze and there's wait wait a second i have a phone call okay i'll hold it right here you let me know when you come back i mean is the jews watching the whole time or is it enough that the guy is scared that the jew might walk in i mean we rely on the fact that uh there's a mercies there's a fear so what you think there's a jew there are five thousand robotnim with long beards watching every single cow every squeeze they take a picture of every squeeze no there's the masjid so that's akula so the story goes this is bro in the chuba subscribe of the rihazaki that what did the rabino tom do for a living who remembers how many businesses did robin robano tom have last week's year he had three businesses number one he was a vendor he he dealt in wine number two was a banker he lent money and he also dealt in goats he was a goat dealer that's a very hush of a job he was a goat dealer anyway the rash bomb had a lot of goats and we don't know much about the family of the rashform we don't know about his children except from the for this chuva where the rashbom sent his daughter and his daughter's name was maruna or marina that was her name and he sent her go marina go check out the cow check out the goats now poor marina had a deal with 500 goats so you think by the time she got there half of them were milked already and she can't get to all the goats and rabino tom gave it to the rash bomb he said what do you think this is called visra could you send one little girl marina and she's gonna oversee all the cow all the goats no no it's too big it's too much for one person and plus you're gonna send marina out into the field among the you what do you think well is that responsible so maybe to that the rashvam would say and my friend there will be farmers whatever would say says god doesn't save that sadique him from he only saves sadiq him from eating forbidden foods he doesn't save the daughters of sadique him from uh possible danger maybe the restaurant would say no god god protects the animals of the tzadikim he protects the family of the sadique but anyway this was another uh very interesting between rabino tam and the rashbom and pretty much we rely on the rajbam's kula that you have a jew there and there's some kind of mercy that the the jew could catch them that would be sufficient for um now i'm going to share with you probably the most well-known and powerful words that we have from the rashbom and these are the opening words of the rashban on pasha we actually once gave a shear just on this passage of the rash bomb but the rashform says something really remarkable and the rashbom captures his entire approach to how to learn hummish in these couple of lines the rashbom says that anybody who appreciates the intellect will understand that there's a principle called ain mikra yoitsei medeb the pasik always has a literal literal and basic interpretation even though that's not the main approach to torah the main approach to torah is not the literal basic approach because most of the torah are being taught through illusion haggadah jerush the 13 hermeneutic principles of exegesis the 32 principles of exegesis of rabbi lesler because of their righteousness they only learn jurash ice now you look in the gemara based on jerush the gemara never says okay let's analyze this episode in the hummish based on the logical intellectual approach that's not done in the german language that's always based on jerosha and it says rashford that's correct the icker torah is the jerusha but they reshine and because they were so righteous they only focused on the droshos which are the icker and they never trained themselves in the art of oyme in other words torah is a building and the ground floor is the level called oymaksha i would say the ibanezra is oimekopsan by the way you know sometimes you have a mahlikas rashi in the ramban and rashi says uh shad in the passage and the raman asks five questions and the ramban says rashi's wrong i mean rash is wrong she's calling her madarash the mattress was given on har sina i have to rush to be wrong the ramban doesn't mean rashi is wrong what ramban means is that's not the basic level of understanding that's not the shot it's one of the maybe higher levels but it's not the there's something called omega and says the uh rajbam and the reason why that we shining we're not really proficient in oimekopshat is because the gemara says in bracha is don't train your children to be academic or the gemara says that those who learn hummish it's okay it's pretty good it's not like learning gemara and therefore they don't really know mikra uh pashabshad in absurd that's why the gemara says in shabbos that in america i was eighteen years old i never knew i ain't curious even my zeda who is the zeida of the rashbom rashi even my grandfather rabbenu shlomoy avimoi my mother's father the light of the exile he explained torah naveem he tried to say pshat and i told him me shmuel the son of mayor i told him i argued with him this is not shot this is drush and rashi said you're right [Music] rash said if i had time i would do what you said now i don't think rashi really agreed i think what she meant was rashi of course held that what he wrote on the humish was his definition of shot and what constitutes the torah's definition of shutter shamika after arashi says in boracious parikh gimmo s but rashi agreed there might be an even more basic level than shot and rasheed i don't have time to write that but rabbenu so to speak paved a new pathway in understanding the hamish basically when you see a story and there are people today who i would say they focus on shuto shall mikra and you say where'd they get that from that's not like the gemara that's not like the madrish but this is more along the approach of the rajabam the rajbam sort of paved this new avenue this new approach and the rajbam said you can analyze the story in hamish don't bring in gemaras don't bring in mid-russian ask logical questions study it analytically and you are entitled to say an intellectual baseline interpretation even if it's against the gemara that way but that's a level it's one of the 70 faces of the torah what's amazing is the rashbom seem to do that to gamora as well i'm going to give you an amazing illustration you know in the first mission of baba kama how many types of nazikan are there arba avoids what are they hashor all there is shiny mask is out of order bar comes last why is it char bar also on the end of the mishnah it says what's heaven so why in the beginning is it called heaver and the end of the mission is called aish and tois just talks about this and all that we should talk about it says the simplest plot this is like this so captures the approach to rashban it should be shar and bar in the end says no bar rhymes with shark shar bar i mean if you're writing a mishna you want people to remember it and you're trying to give symmetry where you're a sharp heaver bar no sharbar it rhymes it's a similar word it has a similar sound ah of course it's but in the it says so next to mother you want to say a word that sounds like mother heather that's why it said haber because it's the same havara it's the same type of word it's the same sound of the word so again this is like the marsha's this is like the rajabang's approach to humish utilizing it on the mishnah nigamara very interesting it's like amara nobody else came up in the taisus never came up with hey you know i'd share a bar because it rhymes but why not you know that's like a basic shar bar very interesting the uh rabbino tom revered his older brother the rashbom even though he told him off not to keep your eyes down on the floor he told him off about khabib israel he said you know my grandfather rashi changed the gerson the gemara very infrequently and my older brother the rashbam you know god should forgive him but he's constantly changing the gersa and why does he write so long it's so long by the way you know mistake is not the longest nasafta by far not barakas is much longer than babavasam in terms of words of gemara yeah but brachas has rashi and bubba bastard has the rashform you know 176 black a hundred of the bladder are the rajaban but that's not the biggest mustafa not by far there are many mussets that's bigger than the thing is take a look you know most of the pages the rashbom saying the rash bomb is changing the gersa and that was the problem for a number of reasons one of them is beyond the scope of this year which is more of a historical reason and that is because uh changing the gears on the gemara led to a very common practice back in the day and that is bible criticism because to the jews the one thing that's sacred is the text you can't tamper with the text tampering with the text could be very dangerous but the rashban despite his humility he was all very strong-minded he criticizes all shine him in their approach to humish including his grandfather rashi he says what they're doing is and this was not coming from this was coming from one of the great sadhikim and anovim but at the same time very interesting now this is uh this is also uh something very important we're coming up on shalas the navy says shalom truth and love truth and peace will love each other by the way rabsham shouldn't follow hearst when he would sign his name would sign his name allah first comes truth and then comes peace not vice versa you don't bend you don't ma peace is not the ultimate goal the ultimate goal is truth truth comes first and then you work on the peace and that is the feel of the rashbound we have a chuva of the rashfam the rashfam really this was uh the mantra of rapchampton fell hershey also the rashfam's approach god should allow us to know the truth and to love peace but not vice versa i'll ask you an interesting question to think about in miguila's esther it says de vries shalom [Music] there it says peace and then truth okay now the rashbom despite his illustrious grandfather the rashbam [Music] said perusha malatora in the presence of rashi the rashbam pass skinned in front of raj look number 14 the mordecai quotes that the rashbam gave this sock in front of his greatest grandfather rashi this was observed the rash who was standing right there and the rashbom gave a sock so we have the rash bombs perish on but don't think thrash brahma only wrote on that thrash bomb look at number 13 writes later on in the massachusetts he said i already explained this in the second parak wait a minute already explained we only have the rashban from now the restaurant [Music] wrote on the hoshas if we would have the rajbam's perish on chas the daffy me would be as long as the oh as as the dafa shivua right that's how long it would take to learn shas you know shasta is only seven years because uh we have rashi on the majority of shas and just uh just to finish up um the a little bit more about the family in the house of rashi we have a letter here from rabino tom robino tom expresses his grief and his sorrow he says the light of my eyes are no longer with me because the aura in kaidesh the holy ark has been taken away and that is my great brother rabbi yitzhak rabisak was the second brother rabbisik was the revum throughout shasta bakama basra revom that was the rashbom's second brother so the rashbom rivam rabbenu tam and we're going to see rabino shmuel um so um in this letter the ravenous mourns the loss of his second brother the revamp the rebound left over seven yes is going to take care of them tom took care of them he has all three family businesses he's the wine maker he's the banker he's the goat man and he supported basically the entire family including his brothers seven yes i mean talks about how painful it was that when he used to talk and learning to rabino yitzhak his second brother it was and then he talks about he says the interesting historical point that shmuel spent time with rashi and troyes when rashi passed away rabbinismual went to rabbenu mayor city in ramrupt and then later on rabbenutam says that he's not he's not with us anymore he visited the city of cain he went to the city of paris and uh further now there was a fourth brother that was as we mentioned rabbenu shlaimai we don't really know much about rebecca schlemmer revenue specialized in hebrew grammar in piyutim and he was the youngest of all the brothers so even though rabino tam considers himself the youngest but that's only be because that's a um relative to the rashbom and the rivamba rabino was really the youngest son of rabino mayor again robino mayer is known as avi is the father of all these four great rabbis so just in closing i want to share with you something that is reported in a very obscure safer it's called shar of rav david benshime they say a phrase the shame call israel sound familiar they have to dorm here in this show yeah does that sound familiar you have to say something like that the shame call you strong in the name of all of israel okay we were able to dig up from an ancient artifact asparagus thank you i think in the same year they have something like that the shame call you strong what does that mean but shame call you so i'm putting on sits this machine calling israel so the rashbom when he was on his deathbed he said everyone leave the room and everyone left the room and he called his most trustworthy student and he gave him over the secrets of torah and he said as follows when you give money to tsadaka you give a certain amount and you want god to be pleased with your action so after you give your donation you give a hundred dollars then what i want you to do is add one coin and say quietly to yourself this one coin i'm giving the shame call israel on behalf of the whole jewish people and whenever you say atfilah and whatever you do in mitzvah you should always have in mind you're doing it not only for yourself but for all of israel so it's interesting this little thing that no ashkenaz does not say now the rajbam david and never said in his life nevertheless he wouldn't or neither did rashi neither rabbino tom or any of the hundreds of balayatosas that we follow but the idea of the shame call yesterday was brought to this world through the rashban now the rash bomb uh based on this the say for shahada says like this says you should surely give to dhaka you shouldn't feel bad when you give it because of this matter god will bless you and the question is why would i feel bad i'm giving this love why would i feel bad it means like this no sewing tite i already gave a hundred dollars why do i need to give one more dollar maybe this is the macarthur's fire to make it 101. where's 101. so they gave a hundred but i give one more don't feel bad when you give that extra gift why because of that extra
