this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay hope everyone's having uh inspirational enjoyable time today uh just to speak out a few things that we didn't have the opportunity to speak out when we were by the keva due to the heat i want to say over some torah from the flower pinkhos horowitz you know there's a very big discussion in the governor rosh hashanah it says promises us that if we invoke the middle they will not be returned empty-handed and the question that's raised is how often do we invoke the ugimo medicame and yet can we always say that our tilas are answered so the haflast suggests in parasha's kisisa that maybe what the gemara means is yasuo fun i can say that not just to say that you'd give me this you have to act that way you have to be a iraq not just to say that you banish some sarah yeah if a person has to make themselves into a rachel slow to get angry so that that's what the gomer means i heard that there is an indication that this is not the pay rush that in fact if all you do is merely recite your given sarah and that's sufficient that your teeth will not be returned empty-handed and the raya is like this because we sailed yesterday why do we say kale hares yesterday why not rakhum why why do we specifically say kalaresa because of all the yod gimbal mirrors there's one that we can't do ourself and that's we can't do kale that's three bundesliga so the the python writes kale harissa to indicate that not like this shot you don't have to do the giveaway it's enough it's sufficient merely to say it but then that flesh says maybe it's madaraya maybe we could do kale because the gemara says was called kale from here we see that a bastard of adam could practice the meetha of kale we could practice that powerful meetha sarah so in fact says maybe it is for a jew to practice even the meat of cal another interesting thing that the haflah writes in the safer hamach and the hakadama is khazal tell us [Music] that if the rebbe is like hashem you should seek out from him and if he's not like hashem so you don't seek out tire from him so what does that mean that if the rebbe is like amal hashems i once heard from uh a big philanthropist maisha david cooperman who said what does it mean that if the rebbe is like amalah you should seek out torah from him what do we know about amalah one thing we know about about baramal is raglayam regal yeshara their legistrate we don't it doesn't really matter if the rebbe is a big lamdan if the rebbe is a big if the rebbe is a yashar then seek altair from him if he's straight if he's a straight shooter he's a yashar what else do we know about amalah upnayam ke prayadam the rebbe is down to earth like a human being also that's an important quality what else do we know about amalah it says the rebbe covers his the mouth covers his face with two of his wings covers his legs with two of his wings and he flies with two meaning if the rebbe doesn't use all of his ammunition if he covers himself over and he's only showing you a little bit of what he has that's also a symbol you should seek out her from the rebbe but the haflo explains very beautifully amala we know is an oy maid a rebbe when he teaches his talmidam he cannot be a high life he cannot be interested in his own growth he has to be focused on the growth of the tamidim if the rebbe is like a malek and that he's an oi maid then we know to seek out torah from him i want to tell you one of the most incredible hidushim of the hafla there's a gemaran khulen on the kumar wants to know if you have a blazing hot knife and you shak the bahama with the blazing hot knife is it a kashira shrita do we say first the bahima is burnt and then it's a shrita and then it comes out it's not a good shrita or do we say first comes the shrita and then it gets burned so it is a good shrita said this at his purim sudan because the gemara says zerah first comes the shrita and then the burning fractal how did rip zero know first comes the shriek and then the burning you know how because it must be that at that purim sudan when rabbi shakhted rip zera he must have used the blazing hot knife and rabzera felt that first he was shaktid and then he was burnt so therefore rib zera poskin first comes the shrita and then comes the burning says even though the hafla said this as a joke and as simcha's purim but if it emanated from the mouth of this holy man then we could take it to the bank that that's that first comes the shrita and then comes the liban before the torah was given how did avraham avinu keep the torah how did he keep shabbos he kept shabbos but the torah says you're now the rest day and night so how did avraham simultaneously keep the shabbos and desecrate the shabbos because on one hand he he kept all the mitzvoth on the other hand the torah says in parishes to keep the shabbos so the hafla advancers advances an incredible that before the torah was given the day preceded the night [Music] day followed by night you're now the rest but night followed by day you are a lot of rest so avraham avinu kept friday night shabbos day but he desecrated friday day friday night or shabbos day shabbos night so basically avraham avinu [Music] kept friday night and shabbos day but he didn't keep friday day and shabbos before the torah was given was they followed by the night this is a very major kiddish of the hafla in the hamaknan kadusan lions that lamaze i'm sure this is the khidash we've heard before that before the torah was given the day proceeded the night what's very interesting is that the auroch liner argues this that for before the torah was given the night follows the day it is not correct because how do i know first comes night and then comes day bye arev that was written before the torah was given elema you're going to say because the possible says yo invalid no that can't be the torah always says the day before the night in kala toy rakula it always says the day before the night with four exceptions the only four exceptions are uh in devarim but otherwise it always says the day before the night and the reason is because that's the last there are specific instances where the torah writes the night before the day and there are uh our particular reasons for that so these are some of the hiddushim of we have pinchas horowitz horowitz the chief rabbi of frankfurt zachus you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
