okay so let's begin learning about the
rash bomb
i'd like to go i'd like to go on the
trip did i go on the trip um repsender
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 gift that
you're giving but shame call yes
that's where the bracha comes from this
was the
of the rashbam on his deathbed this is
the third generation
of the ballet hatoysus
and maybe in future shurim we're going
to speak about the fourth and fifth
generation i think we're gonna do it on
maybe the next fridays or so and i think
the last year on the subject we have to
go back to rashi because as much as we
think we know about rashi we haven't
even begun to uncover
who rashi was
what was the root of his soul
and uh we're gonna uncover really um
unbelievable
so stay tuned for that thanks for
listening
have
you've just experienced another torah
