so rabak barav instituted a very novel
practice rabak
barav based on the comments of the
rambam innovated a practice that had not
been seen in CLA Isel for many hundreds
of years there's something called SM now
the SM that rabam have today has
no
significance all means the discusses it
in just means that if somebody is
practicing
wres that it's just a sign that if this
individual is pasing he's doing so with
the permission of his rebi but it
doesn't give any significant status to
the one who receives the SM real SM had
ceased in the time of now what could you
do with with you could do something very
important you could
judge means there's monetary law
monetary law is if somebody owes money
or somebody damages that's regular
monetary law you don't need to judge
monetary law means there's certain
penalties that the impose that if you
don't have you cannot impose these
penalties
what was the big motivation of ryak
barav to Institute SM this is very
important this is in the aftermath of
1492 many Jews in 1492 masqueraded as
Christians many Jews who had the
opportunity to give up their life hasem
did not do so they said their name isn't
Abraham their name isn't y their name is
in
yov
they declared their belief in another
religion that is a capital offense even
if your life is on the line that is
something which is a capital offense a
Jew cannot masquerade as a member of
another religion it's considered a
violation of
aara a Jew who did
that has riding on their shoulders a
penalty of
Kes many of the
Morano felt very guilty they felt that
by not giving up their
life they felt riding on their shoulders
was
a how does one get off now whether or
not they
were is a separate discussion but they
felt they could have run away meaning in
other words you might say Well they're
an so they're not after all even though
a Jew is obligated to give up their life
if they're not if they don't it's not
violating
abara but their life wasn't on the the
line they could have left and if they
would have left they would could have
continued to observe Judaism they felt
very guilty they couldn't fall asleep at
night their conscious hounded them does
anybody know is there any way for a
person to get off a of no there's only
one
way if you get
malus if you get lashed
Callin so the Morano felt that if
somehow they could get malus that would
remove that would excuse them of their
and then they could continue to live
with a clear conscious and not have to
be plagued with guilt
that the only thing is the bezan does
not have the ability to give malus
only who have could give malus soov
barav was banging his head he was trying
to come up with a way to reinstate the
process
of
SM began withu he gave to he gave to
the they continued the to the they
continued the to the they continued the
to and in the
year in the years of and ra until
H ceased in until the year
4,298 and then ended and can no longer
give they can no longer give they can no
longer
stop
comes and he finds a r
in and the r
says says the r it seems to me that if
all the
appoint they could give
a says the r if unanimously all the
gathered together in they could
reinstate the
process so gathered together something
like
25 including the including theit
including the Al and by all accounts
they gathered together and they gave SM
to
ROV whereupon Rak gave SM to four
individuals two of them we know about
two of them we're not sure about who did
he give SM
to
the the other two were not sure but if
you look
in he lists
10 who was given to
residing inim was
RB was from Salan originally from Spain
he's the son
of was the author of the The
Collection passed away completed
the and he
said really if all the and Isel gather
together they could reinstate SM nobody
ever invited me I was never invited to
the party I was never invited to the
presiding that's number one number two
the rambam concludes his
words the ramam starts off nearly
meaning there's no R and Sh to this the
r ends off his
words
means we still need to decide whether
this process is legitimate or not we
don't have any definitive source that
this is a legitimate legitimate process
by the
way I want to share with you that the
rambam writes on
[Laughter]
the the ra says like this it
says that before M Comes The Judge
judges will be restored that implies
before the coming of mhia will be
returned and then mhia will
come so that was used as a Rah that the
process could be reinstated but the mar
had many ESS against number one nobody
invited me number two the r
says and even if you're going to
say that you don't need all the all you
need is a majority of the is the din of
rub is only if everyone is present then
you could follow the majority but if
only the majority is present you can't
follow the majority because maybe if the
minority was there the majority would
have agreed to the minority the din of
rub is only
rub but there's no din of
rub if the m is not present and for
these
Tinus the Mah wrote a saer called
he wrote a first edition and a second
edition and he writes he thanks that in
his lifetime he was able to accomplish
two great feats feat number
one he vehemently opposed schom we're
going to learn about him on
chabas and feat number two is he did not
let SM get off the ground he vehemently
opposed M the
mar defended his
position he
said when we talk about the sages Ruba
kakula is good enough especially
if were residing in and by the way this
gets involved in another very
interesting and controversial issue and
that is friends what is the holiest city
in the
world okay I'm giving you a few
choices Lakewood
Williamsburg okay those are all
out canas have any superiority at all to
is that possible can we say that there's
another city in the world that has even
a dimension of kadus or greatness
greater than you know the's great great
grandfather the writes the ear of is
more pure than anywhere else in the
world there is no City more conducive to
the learning of cabala than in the city
ofas and the theer wrote a
Chua
vehemently dismissing the claim of the
heaven forbid that any city in the world
has a superiority to shal in any
Dimension at all says the
do you know why the City ofas was
destroyed in 1837 because of earthquakes
it's because everyone was going toas and
everyone was going to meon and Yim was
jealous and like a jealous Co Yim caused
the destruction of the city ofas says
the earthquakes that rattled and
destroyed SAS in 1837 was because
everyone's running everywhere but Yim
and Yim was jealous and
therefore the
is writes this in he writes this
in therefore says many Jews may go
to don't count me among them
says I wouldn't
go anyway back to the ranch this was a
great and the question is why did SM
never really get off the ground by the
way the B continued SM who did he give
SM
to remember the gave SM to the
and the gave to
the the gave SM
to and that was the end of the SM
forever and ever
says that which the r says that before
Messiah
comes will be reinstated I too agree
that SM will be reinstated before mhia
comes because even Mia when he reveals
himself we have a tradition will then
disappear again and then reveal himself
again who's to say that when Messiah
reveals himself the first time he will
not reinstate the SM
disappear and SM will be reinstated
before mhia reveals himself and who is
to say says Mal that we know will reveal
himself before mhia
comes has original SM either
from or if
he and there says just because will be
reinstated before mhia comes that does
not necessarily mean
that we human beings regular could
reinstate this the bottom line is it
never really took
off there is a saer
byin called
hesik who Chronicles the whole history
and debate
between
and the main reason SM did not take off
is because shortly after it was
reinstated because of the Muslims the in
themselves were scattered and they no
longer
had in one so anyway this is a that's
rooted here in Salan
both and the B and ROV bar all at some
point in time flourished here in
Sala thank you very much
I'm sorry no problem we got this we got
the main we got the main thing in but
it's not it's still you've just
