Journey to Lithuania: Vilna - The Life of the "Chayei Adam", Rav Avraham Danzig

Okay everyone, one last personality that we're going to speak about the Rabi Abram Dansig who lived from 1748 to 1821. Rabbi Abram Dansig was also a mutin of the Vagin. So the Vigin had a mutiny Mis who's buried right next to him. Who remembers what year the go passed away? 1797. Very good. 1798. What year was that? to the year 1798. He also had a rabbi who wrote the now was a businessman. He was a merchant. He writes in the intro to I know people are murmuring about me. Is sh also another meaning is this a working businessman writing a safer we know you that you're a merchant in Frankfurt and Leipig for 15 years when exactly did you learn? Doesn't the Tyra say he you can't be a and be a merchant says he says my dear brother you should know that when I went to work it was not to amass wealth everyone could testify I traveled far but even as I was traveling I was learning even when I was sitting in the store I was learning even when I engaged in business my mind was always occupied in learning The kayodam came out in 1810 anonymously and he wrote there in his original hakama. The reason why he wrote anonymously is not out of humility because but the saferidum says that it may diminish from one's reward and he says don't wonder that this safer came from such a small individual from a worm comes silk from the worm comes. Now the says something very interesting that he says his primary and writing was forabim for people who don't have time for in-depth study but many told him that actually it's very helpful to be able to review the and they're able to limarb first you learn and then you explain we'll end with a story hopefully you'll be able to sleep tonight But my job is just to tell you give it to you straight. Theodam writes after he talks about the importance of saying and not being he tells the story of a certain God who was called up to the peasant shamala and everybody said clear away for you know rashkahag and they gave him a nice welcome and they said rabbi were mikim were you mimitzvah? Yeah. Were you mimia? Yeah. Did you do it with the right kavan? Yeah. Where? Who says? So, so they brought in all the malim that were created from his mitzvah and they were strong malim. They were good malim and he passed that test. Then they asked him, "Rabbi, were you careful from being shame about?" And the rabbi was silent and they said, "Why are you silent?" He didn't answer. And they asked to bring in all the angels that were created based on the bra that he said. And these angels were weak angel, maimed angels, injured angels, angels that had all kinds of disabilities. And the whole Bezen Shamala tore Korea and they gave the rabbi a choice. Either you could go to the purgatory or you could come back to this world as a gilgal. But you did not say bra with the right kavana when you said hashem's name. And therefore your choice is either you could go to geahanam or you could go come back to this world and the rabbi chose to go to gahanam. Therefore, the kayam encourages a person to try to say with the right kavana so that they will not be faced with that unpleasant choice of having to come either back to this world or to go to ganam. On that note, I wish everyone a shabases. We know that all the preparations for Shabas are preparing for the Shabasim the brings down that when we eat meat on Shabas it's a in commemoration of the shabar that we're going to eat in Haba and when we eat fish on Shabas it's a commemoration of the Yasan and what should you have when you take a hot shower before Shabas the should be says the hot shower is zer to naharin gahum that you traverse before ganed. So my humble blessing to everyone is to say with kabana and the closest you have to come to gehennam is the hot shower that you take on Arab shabas kadesha. Don't
