Do Sefardim Have To Keep Purim? The Earthshattering Revelation of the Chida

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay good evening everyone the first year took place on which was the but tonight tonight we're ready B but we're still close to the uh passing of the tonight I I would like to share with you an astounding subject a stunning topic we're going to learn information that is not so well known and it's could be a little bit sensitive especially for the saf community so if you you need to fasten your seat bels and if you can't handle it you leave now no I'm no I'm joking no don't okay but I'm just brace yourselves in a few nights Saturday night M Shabbat we're going to read mad we have no idea what kind of document mad there is we can't even begin to imagine the power of mad by the way the number of in Mad are exact corresponding to the number of words in the Torah that talk about the number of words in the that's the gar tells us an amazing the gamar says you know one of the most important are the in the so let's say you have a choice you're a anyim over here we have what's a thank you you know I was very happy I walked in during I'll tell you amazing thing I walked in during for as ashkanazi I I have to wait until I haven't heard since you know that since I haven't heard it since I know they do it on P but I haven't heard it sincek cuz I could only go in the past I can't go into the future yet I'm working on it yeah so recently I gave a Shure that somebody came to kki and somebody needed par somebody needed somebody needed and they asked what they do said there's a saer an ancient saer you're by a specific part of where we could identify you need a you need B you need c so I remembered I had something that I'm I was for but I didn't have the opportunity to hear and I walked in just for and I was I had a lot of emotion and I heard you say and I had a specific but I want to tell you how powerful this is so I gave the sh most of the people at the sh was were ashkanazi so they said what should I do we only hear it three times a year I said go to sh it's CR Street and they there they have him every day so I didn't know what he did all I know is that this past Wednesday he had a baby boy so he called me he said I want you to know ever since you gave the shear I went to sh I had the kavana and had a baby boy yeah so but is very is very uh important actually if you know you know there's a a big sadik in Isel who also was uh a big proponent of this the importance of him did you know he had a baby now he was 87 years old 87 years old how is it possible I'm going to tell you more I I know them okay anyway okay the says let's say you have a choice you're aain in the mikdash and either you could do the aod or you could hear the M what's more important aod or M what do you do what is more important or the says then the says what if you're in middle of learning Tor do you interrupt Tor to hear the M what's the biggest Mitzvah in all the 63 what's the most important do you interrupt yes what if you're giving a to a 100 people so it's not only Torah it's tor what's more important we push it away from so Will trump Mig I'm sorry mik Will trump M Will trump T now there's an amazing in to this three times in the Tor we have the following word anybody know where does it say in the Torah words one is okay good one is in it says by the that the and a third time it says the word so we have three V so we have three they're going at each other which one is more important says it's greater is it's greater so therefore it beats and it beats and the says and who in the says m is more important is the one even though in AR G it's R it's not RAB but that's the B so from here we see something amazing because if you just read the gar you would think that mik is not important more important than Torah it's not more important than of course Torah is a greater Mitzvah of course AB is a greater Mitzvah it's just m is once a year is once a year by the way what I just told you about you have on the card right here this is the card you know who made that card the rash who just had a baby at 87 years old his name is on it his name is on it look come here here let's show you right now okay this it's not not on this one but on which one did you see it come on I have them he sent it to me we cop yeah okay no I I'll send okay so if you just read the gamar you would think that it's not that mikra is more important it's just that Mig is once a year so you have no choice you'll interrupt Tora from M you interrupt for M but we see from he says it's greater m is greater than Tor it's greater than how could it be greater how could be greater than okay that's what we're going to Endeavor to explain now because we're still within the grace period of the side I want to share with you I once heard this from RAB Risman but I found it in seven places in the writings of the seven different we're going to start with the says says even though when you were in you in they taught you that was you know means he ruled over the world it's not true it's not true how many did he rule over 127 says he didn't rule over Africa he didn't rule over never made ham never made a decree on only ashaz he didn't rule over as he didn't have control over them he only ruled over Asia Asia not Africa and not Safar no I don't know what they are it doesn't it doesn't mean it means these countries it doesn't really mean yeah says it means it means it means under those countries he only was goer on the continent of Asia he was not goer on the continent of Africa he was not go on the continent of of Safar and what most Jews lived in farad after no if you look in the last P of it says already from times of most Jews they went to look in the last ofel says the family of David and Mal yud they all went to Spain so there were Jews take a look we read it correct is the end of is already is what is talking about G that means before pu the Jews went to Spain that's a PK in the how did they get there the space he owned them not something here look you have a in the tanak it's a in the tanak not only is in the tanak it's in the art scroll tanak okay okay let's see what it says here saer you know saer oada was oad was a convert from Edom he was from and why did he prophecy what did he prophecy about prophesied about the downfall of adom soar San says why did oad prophecy about the downfall of Edom cuz he comes from Edom the way Hashem works is from the farest itself comes the handle for the axe Hashem brings about from the enemy itself we W spoke about this a few years ago go that's do you remember the subject we spoke about that yeah yeah [Applause] okay oh you ready for this Jerusalem when when nanet came and he destroyed went to Spain so the says the facts are had no dominion over Africa he had no dominion over why do all Jews have to observe PM only Jews who are under the authority of a should have to observe PM Jews who are never threatened why should they have to observe PM in fact the quotes from konim much earlier sources he brings from Med r that there weren't 127 medot in the world there were 252 medot in the world and only ruled over 127 this is not what we usually think usually we learn the the gar says that a was one of the three kings who was Mal he's one of the three kings who ruled over the whole globe so we think it means the whole globe noipa means the Known World the settled World between the Tigers and the Euphrates but there's it's a bigger world out there it's like people who live in Brooklyn they think that the world starts in bar Park and it ends in Flatbush no the the there's more to the world than so the asks in many many and by the way this is not just the the take a look at number five who it's not the whole world it's not all the continents it's talking about the continents but besides that there are many many cities he says in the next column fourth line didn't rule over Paris yeah wasn't in Frankfurt wasn't in uh Mar the Africa he's not in Cape wasn't hanging out on Cape Town VG what's Gina Virginia Virginia yeahh now now one more let's see if you know this one I don't know didn't rule over America yeah so so the asks why do have to observe Pim why do people who come from Spain you know by the way you know that in the late 70s he was invited to inaugurate a in Madrid and in that context he had the opportunity to meet King Juan Carlos and rabadia maintained that King Juan Carlos was a big and very powerful and you know on a king who has the power of life and death you make a on a wise person you make a who's not Jewish what should he make on King Juan Carlos should he make a or so when met King Juan Carlos he said he made a new in that meeting by the way Reb Margalit came into the palace you know in Spain they don't have air conditioning so she was very hot she was very famished and the queen of of Spain got out of her throne and opened up the window forb and says it was fulfillment of the that Kings will serve you that was n when the queen of Spain served my wife anyway in that and RAB writes about this encounter in the hak toel he says that King Juan Carlos asked him an astounding question he says I have a question for you how many Jews are in Israel today so V told him you know a few million in the 1979 okay so so he says I have a question for are they all the same said yeah Jews are Jews so he said well what's what's the difference between ashaz and King Juan Carlos as so says it's one religion so Juan Carlos asked I have a question a Jew from Yemen you call themi a Jew from Iraq you call Himi a Jew from Iran you call Himi a Jew from Iraq from Turkey why they call Himi they were never they were never in Spain in their life not them not their grandparents and not their none of their ancestors were ever in Spain why are they all called it's a brilliant question why do they call them says RAB I told him you so G I said I told him that King Juan Carlos who is the greatest Rabbi who ever lived in Spain the rambam the ramb was very proud he was a yid Cordoba one thing that all have in common is they all follow theim of the r in Judaism a person is not where he lives it's which Rabbi does he follow all of these Jews follow of R anyone who follows the r is that's what it means to Bei says and Records this in his saer anyway ask the why do all Jews observe Pim only the Jews whose lives were in danger should observe purm if you come from Asia you should observe PM if you come from you should have a regular day you could go to work Sunday do whatever you want you could go to the park walk your dog then you could go for pizza then whatever you want to do but what what's puim for why are you celebrating puim so first r one of his called he says an answer answer you know lus means you ever hear that expression lumus lus is the complex tamic analysis it's the the way they learn in theot in a very indepth way that's called L okay so he gives a answer he says like this in there's a principle we follow the RO we follow the majority the majority of the Jewish people were under the domain of a and therefore if the majority of CLA Israel are in danger and then they're saved then it's a Yeshua for all of all of if would have only ruled over 125 medot so he doesn't have Ro of the 252 but he ruled over 127 that's majority of 252 so using the principle of Rove we could we could explain how the whole Jewish people observe now I'm going to share with you a very interesting question because it's almost P okay but listen to this question maybe somebody will have the answer anyone who gets gives me an answer will win a free pocket edition of the concealed and the revealed ready for this question on P you have do Co you drink four cups of wine do you have to drink the whole cup you have are you obligated to drink the whole cup are you obligated to drink do you have to not is it better are you [Music] Why by the you have to drink you only have to drink the majority of the cup and we say if you have the majority it's like you have the whole thing and when it comes to the mat you have to eat the whole Kaz why you have to eat the whole Kaz just have most of the Kaz right you know who asked this question it's good question right who wants to say over the question say somebody say over the question by the way when you go to a sh you don't just sit there like this you have to get into it right so who's going to say over the question say it over what's the difference between good and and wine every night we drink four cups of wine a a maybe Bas on saying that the wine represents the so most [Music] Jew okay you ready for the answer this is the best part okay what would the be if instead of a cup of wine how how much has to be in the cup at least no how much wine has to be in the cup how big is R according toosha Feinstein 3.3 o maybe there other sh whatever the she is let's say I have instead of one Co that has 3.3 o you know in Yiddish we say a schnaps Gaz you know a little 1 o 1 o 1 o is that good enough no why cuz I don't have one Coast so when it comes to says you have to have one entity it must be all in one place when something has to be all in one place we say rubo k but by mat let's say I don't have one Kaz let's say I have a third of Kaz here a third of kazas in the Next Room and a third kazas in the third room can I quickly run and eat that does it matter yeah I could do that there's no it has to be one big piece I just have to at the end of the day eat says the of Ro is it has to be Ro from one entity when something has to be one entity then we say Ro the majority of that entity pulls the rest of the entity but if it doesn't have to be in one entity it could be in different pieces and different places then we can't use the principle the majority pulls the The Remnant you understand the difference yes you sure yeah say it how is the matah how is the matah not considered because the mat considered one entity so it doesn't the Mata does not have to be one entity you could have a piece here a piece here a piece here as long as at the end of the day you ate it you're good so since it doesn't have to be one entity you can't use Rove Ro is the majority of one entity pulls along the rest of that entity but there's nothing that there's no requirement of one entity by matah you just have to have a total sh of K so since it doesn't have to be in one entity we don't utilize the principle [Music] of yeah okay but that's a side point so the first answer says is RO ruled over the majority of the communities of the world so even though Africa was were not threatened plus the says in the times of puim we all accepted the Torah now this is also an known thing I mean we know it but we don't realize cuz you know just imagine from when God gave us the Torah what did the Jewish people say that's what that right that's what they told us in kindergarten and in Yesa we accepted it willingly the written law but when all the and all the and all the we said thanks but no thanks no thank you we'll keep the Kash we'll honor our father and mother we won't eat pig we won't wear chat but none of these no all the every single had everything you can't carry even Gaz Ang says they didn't blow on Shabbat already came down from already they didn't blow Shau on Shabbat now what did we say to no thank you God said what do you mean I'm giving you the Torah don't you want it we said no please take it we said no well we said we'll call you don't call us so Hashem took the mountain and he suspended it over her head and he said okay guys you want the Torah if you don't take the Torah I'm going to kill you we said okay yeah yeah yeah we want it we want it but we didn't want it when did we finally want the Torah P him so says that's a big all of accepted the tor a that's why all Jews celebrate purm but that's not the answer that I want to share with you tonight I want to share with you an amazing answer this uh gives this suggestion in his commentary to in his one of his commentaries to the and most notably in the saer Le David I told you before Le David after the Holocaust was the first day for my grandfather published for the survivors he says something out of this world but I want you to take a look at number 12 first okay 12 number 12 Isam who literally says one of the most astounding things you'll ever hear ifam s didn't say this nobody could say this in a manner the Holy Light that's contained in the light of is not practically M greater than the Torah who could say such a thing how and how could you how could anyone how could we say this if I wouldn't that's why it's very important if you hear something you need to know where does it say show me I want to see it inside you have to you have to know where everything is going don't get up at um you're going to say V T at the Shabbat table oh I heard beautiful T your wife should ask you who says it h I'm not sure no no no don't even if you're going to prepare T you need to know where does it say it is this a gar is this Rashi is it Von is it RAB or did your Rabbi make it up if your Rabbi tells you something say where do you get it from where what's the source what's the by the way says that he became because he looked everything up you have to see everything in its original Source how could the say the light of MiG there is greater than the torat itself I was recently in Italy in the city of lorno actually I was in Italy 30 days ago and I wanted to go to the is not currently buried in Italy now he's in har in Israel but he was originally buried in lavaro and I wanted to go to his they still have his original mat I wanted to go to his mat on the day he was buried and a miracle happened I couldn't go the tour organizer couldn't arrange it so we had to go the next day your B and I was a little disappointed cuz one of the reasons I wanted to go this time was to go to but I was happy I was there within 24 hours of the day the was buried okay the next Shabbat I'm home and I'm reading about the and I read that he would passed away on Shabbat so was buried on so the says no no no I'll take care of the arrangements you're going to try to go if you're going to push the go you're GNA push go you're going to miss it you're going to blow it you leave it in my hand you know that's how hasm runs the world all the time you I I'm trying to do this I'm trying to and it doesn't work out and we say oh you know if it's so what a shame it didn't work out it did work out sometimes you see it sometimes you don't so I was at on 218 years from the day that he was Buri there on the line where the was buried was is aaden is of V he wrote A T baras the BBA is a very big fan of the sa T okay T in the pedman who's a great he quotes the following Tas this is one of the most astounding things I ever heard and it's based on a med I want to show with you the med we're all familiar that there's certain things in this world that are like a small May like a a semblance of the real thing I'll give you an example you know we say sleep is a main of death it's like a 60th of death sleep is a 60th of death that's what yeah sleep is the 60th of death shabat is the 60th of listen to this med look at number 15 the language of the med is there are three no a Noel look at number 15 a Noel is like a semblance of the real thing a semblance of death is sleep a semblance of Prophecy is a dream Shabbat what about the aragos what about the hidden life adds another two a semblance of the light on high is the sun no t a semblance of the wisdom on high is a Torah so we're learning now that even though we're accustomed to thinking that Torah is the highest form of hashem's wisdom actually there's something even higher than Torah what's that the wisdom on high what does that mean isn't Torah the wisdom on high maybe I'll give you a little Mas is God's wisdom the Torah in God's mind is is he learning about an ax that goes another ax I believe the writes in the sa I mentioned before the Torah is a Mas of God's wisdom you see God cloaks his in in a cloak that we could relate to so the way we relate to God's wisdom is says the zoh itself that's the raw wisdom the Torah did you remember the in Torah is the the early the Torah is a par to God's wisdom but the wisdom of Hashem is even greater than the Torah so now the question is did God give us any document that that we could access the itself says the is and therefore you know why we stop learning Torah to hear the Mig because the Torah the Mig is greater than the Torah this is clearly whatam means let's go back to the words ofam says how could such a thing be we asked how could the light of Miga be greater than the Torah itself the answer is because the Miga is the the Torah is just a no of the it's amazing by the way you know the the AR tells us in a few places look in number 13 in that means to some extent perhaps the significance of some of theim Will wne there was never a miracle like the miracle of by the way if you look in Pre he says he says listen to this there was never such a light in this world friends if I were to ask you God has given us a lot of goodies over the years yeah he gave us the man he gave us C yam he gave us the Torah itself he gave us many miracles if we could put on special glasses you know spiritual glasses and see what was the brightest spiritual light that ever came down from Shay to Isel what what event what gift did Hashem give us the brightest most powerful spiritual light says Aral p p by the way Bas writes the reason why are called especially the have the right name call them rabbis but the real name is why because they're able to give over some say the why do if you think puim is just a celebration that people's lives were in danger and they were saved so then you have a good question Pim is a celebration of the fact that he pulled away the clouds he pulled away the curtain and he shined down on this world that's Purim and if you think that it happened once it's a mistake says all of the spiritual gifts that God gives the Jewish people are reoccurring that means you know the calendar the Jewish calendar is a living calendar what do we mean it's a living calendar living calendar means that when the calendar comes back again to yalar the shef of or and the shef of comes again it is reenacted it comes again we re-experience it say this is the meaning what does it mean we think it means you know God you did Miracles back then help us out from now no that miracle that happened the miracle of reoccurs annually on the 14th of Adar says this is what it means we say every shabat all the great kindnesses of hem are they're Eternal they repeat each other repeat again and again you know when we when we're we should be awaiting puim it's not we're awaiting puim because when puim comes we're going to remember what happened you know a few thousand years ago we're awaiting puim because it's a living entity it it happens again we're not looking forward to it I'm looking forward to a few days from now to remember no I'm looking forward to a few days from now because it's going to happen again we access the spiritual energy again it's no less powerful before I conclude I want to share with you gar there is a t by the name of rishu rishu always would argue with theim with the minim so one time he argued with a certain AI kores who was trying to convince rishu that God turned his back on us so the the aporus pantomime do you know what the word pantomime pantomim means to motion without saying any words like in the courts of the King used to have these like clowns that would motion without without saying anything so the panto excuse my back went like this to what he was saying the says is God turns his back on you and motion back and the says he meant his hand is still outstretched go and explains what was the back and forth the aporus was saying you know you're right God took you out of Egypt he split the sea he made Miracles but that was you know when you were uh when you were flying high when you on a very high level so God made open Miracles now he turned his back on you he put you into the galot and he forgot about you and this is a mistake we make if I were to ask you who does God love more abrahamov darid D David or us who does he love more the answer is Isaac yes he loves us more did you know that many people think God loves us less he loves us more RAB writes you know we we say in before not Raba what does a Raba mean do you say a Raba no but when we say it I have you in mind I have you in mind what does AA mean we think it means a great love no means an increasing love as time goes on God God's love for the Jewish people gets more God actually loves you more than he did your great-grandparents cuz he's your father that's the way father works his love increases that's whatab writes because whatever your great-grandfather had to do you have bigger challenges and you still do it so God loves the Jewish people today more than he loved them in the past therefore said you know if we were to ask how does God operate today is he still operating the way he did when he took his out we would say no no no no God doesn't do that anymore he doesn't do those things anymore now he's on like a he's on he's he's semi-retired said yya his hand is just as outstretched As It Ever Was it's just there's a curtain so you don't see it but it's not that God is uh working any less or or making less great Miracles no the Miracles God brings today are just as great just we don't see it there's a curtain it's hidden hidden doesn't mean hashem's operating on a lower playing field he's operating just as magnificently we just don't see it clearly says the celebration of pu is not really dependent on whether someone was in danger or not in danger purm is a celebration of the greatest experience of Divine Light in the history of the world and I want to end off by reading to you the holy words of in number 11 in his last paragraph the makes a prediction ready for this prediction take a look in the last paragraph in number 11 in my eyes it's obvious you know on puim many people get carried away in nonsense drinking is important the drinking is is important if it's done not just to drink you know people get caught up in silliness on puim you have to you have to guard your puim more than any other day of the year says it is obvious it's all of Israel on that this day the day the day that began to be slaughtered the day that H fell all of Israel we would Accord ourselves with Holiness and would be dedicated to heaven and the rest of the day do you make sure to learn on Pim every Jew has to make sure to have says anyone who learns between says if the rest of the day you would spend learning Tora come we do it let's do it AB is going to make s only 10 hours what no not the whole night doesn't say the whole night only 10 hours what hours doesn't say 10 hours say there say there started today you start with yourself everyone starts with themselves what about everyone say if everybody down the block would learn an hour between everyone worry about yourself if you would learn an hour you would wipe out because on this day where they began to until they're destroyed go so we should that in the Merit of Us coming together tonight to learn the great power of P you know when I was in Italy I went to the cover of he says in the M we say what does that mean that when we remember the nest down here in this world The Nest reoccurs it happens again in the sh to bring down again [Music] so that it should be not only to destroy you've just experienced another Torah class
