Iggeres HaGra #16 - You Need This To Get Olam Habah

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everyone we continue um welcome everyone we continue in the garris hagra and we were discussing a variant text in the gra where the grass said that in the nusoch of the garage that was printed in vilna in 1928 based on the old gears of aram soiva the grass said as follows this is the entirety of man this is all this is what it's all about le pessa catastrovates sin crouches at the opening the chalice of the yatara rules over it the toblin shall i and the medicine for the eight sahara liz harim is the being busy with learning travelling and for females it's madison and a custody accustoming oneself with midos and moser i do i have a certain degree of skepticism about this gersa because what is the macar that the way a woman fights the eight sahara is uh through modesty it would assu it would uh be safe to assume that if the gemara says that created the sahara and he created torah as the tablon so torah is the only medication and there is no other medication if you look in the messil susharim how themselves emphasizes that if god created this malady and the only remedy is torah and the message says how foolish it is to think that one could try something else to overcome it why isn't those jumps well this is only for men but of course for women you could always have the approach of sneos okay but the this seems to be the gersa in the graph if you look in this safe air ha going hosted me vilna park tess vav in the footnote number 21 he also cites this teaching of the grah that a woman is able to overcome the yet sahara with uh with its sneeze it's not mashma this way from the ravioness or minister learns that when the gemara asks women how can they merit and the answer is in the reward that they wait for their husbands to come home from the vasa madras and the reward that they wait for their children to come home from yeshiva so if you understand what's kasia what do you mean how are women they women don't have enough methods but women have many mitzvoth women have the mitzvah of they have uh hadlocas nero is there many many mitzvahs in the torah that women are able to observe why zigmar asking and revision how will women overcome the eight sahara what do you mean how will women overcome the sahara according to the gura the men overcome the insaah through talmud women overcome these are through its news that the only way to overcome the sahara and the question is what merit do women have in talmud torah and the answer is the merit that they wait for their husbands to come home from the base of matter it's the merit that they wait for their children but clearly riviera sanabashitz does not allowing that a woman can overcome the itsahara merely through snia so this is a very interesting gersa if you want to look into more it's quoted in by rav goldberg in footnote samach in footnote nun tess okay we proceed so the gross says this is the entirety of man not to allow just to indulge in your desires but rather be messed verse and eduard to use a harness so to speak to user reins to um to close one's mouth in other words the the the way to overcome the sahara is to sort of uh harness one's desires until one's death a person needs to reprimand themself has to control themselves has to do discipline themselves meaning says the gold rug even after a person is very older and he's weak and he doesn't have taiwas haguf but regarding guarding one's mouth and ticking amidas this is something one has to work on until their final day valois nissim the sigufem now with fasting and affliction rock barista and piv by harnessing one's mouth uh disciplining once taiva is this is chuva this we read last time but the girl now continues was that called this is the entire fruit of the world to come what does that mean this is the entire fruit the entire is based on how well how well one discipline their kayak adibour one discipline their desires one disciplined their taiva because the passage says kiner mitzvah the mitzvah is a ner the road of life is the rebuke of moser that's what gives real life meaning this is more than all the fasting we see goofing by them and all the afflictions so it's interesting because the the em and the the safe era and the call kisway khabib in a section called dugma medarche of izata these are like um dugmoist different uh illustrative ideas that said he says uh shamati by the way in the spotlight he said my mother came out she never prayed this is what the son of the right his wife almost never prayed cause manchester united so long as she had children in the house but um my mother told me the son of islam says that the tata the exempted his wife from davening she's busy raising the kids and if you're raising children held your potter from davening oh you say mitzvah so it's interesting that a person should view raising children is uh they're being said mitzvah but then if not for difficulties in this world and afflictions in this world we have no fighting shot of the world to come this is what the sky quotes from the that without difficult in other words a person's life is endless bliss they don't have a shot at the world to come the world to come is available only because of the usurum that a person has in this world now nobody wants you servant says what's an example of usurum if you put your hand in your pocket to pull out a quarter and you pull out a nickel that's also you surim but the guru valued you serve very much in terms of its role in getting us however here are the gurus saying more important than afflictions and fasting and is disciplining your mouth not to say what it wants whenever the thought rises into your head and not giving in to everything you desire but what is this concept that a person can't get oil in without uh without yesurim you know what's why would that be why can't the person why is a person's world to come so uh dependent on uh so where does this come from the quran sanhedrin says in kofalav that when lazar became sick his talmidam entered to visit him he said to them it's very hot today so they began to cry rabbi kiva was laughing they said to him why are you laughing so rekiva said is it possible a safer torah is um so they said there's a possible savior torah is dwelling in sorry and we shouldn't cry so because that's why i'm laughing because now that i see my rebbe that everything is going well i said maybe he receives his reward in this world but now that i see him suffering i'm bisimrah we see even my bless our that the gemara over there says his two arms are like two sephora torah if not for the surim there would be a concern maybe he was macabre and even he needed yesterdam to get so this is the kavana of the gra that whatever persons may assert themselves in this world whatever difficulty a person has and the best kind of difficulty is disciplining oneself that is the great gains of person okay will continue
