Journey to Morocco: The Chachmei Marrakesh - R Avraham Abitbul, R Yaakov Adahan, R Yosef Nachmiash

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning everyone Michelle we're leaving Marrakesh so I want to just speak about a few godo elements how they came that were in the cemetery that we didn't have a chance to visit just to be aware of their names and their personalities and the lives that they lived as mentioned the city of Marrakesh was the year of the Ambu Israel which a major Center of Torah dissemination for the Jewish people and it's different than we think we're accustomed to thinking that the rabbanim in Morocco were on the cubalim they were Mystics but in Marrakesh it was a major Center of tamudik analysis they were Russia Shiva here who were very well versed in all of Shas and poiskin in the analytic process in factia writes first of all he says you know the Jewish people always called Marrakesh maroke because basically Maracas the main city of Morocco so they we didn't call it Marrakesh we called it Maracas however belushan Ishmael marakash Yusuf shared that really Marrakesh is Russia tevot memories so I want to speak about three great Russia Yeshiva who lived in the end of the 19th century beginning of the 20th century they were Russia achieving the times of World War II one was the son of RAB shlama abitbal his name was Ravi avraham of course wrote yaffa vitama that we learned the period last night he was born in 1875 and he was one of the great Russia Shiva in Marrakesh he was expert he had many hidusha Torah he would review the talmud the babli again and again and again again very quickly you know by heart all the mafar shim he was a great lamdin and he was a great Baal me those so when people had Sheila they would like to come to him because he would always give them a kind word and he always responded responded with hey you know what hey verb mem vibrations humor humor he always had a funny word to say so he was a great lambdin he also had a good sense of humor he also cared greatly for his tamidim so it was in the times of World War II there was no the economy here was shattered there was no money people had nothing to eat and all the time even were completely Reliant to honor of avram a bit for food so he would go to the balabatum and he would say did you buy food for Shabbos and inevitably yet they said yeah of course we bought food for Shabbos and he would say okay but the talmudim didn't buy food for Shabbos did you take care of thee tell me them this was you had another great Russia Shiva raviakov adahan River was born at a similar time 1889 he was a great amkan a daikon in the language of the rishonim the acronym a great masmid and his schedule was not human was he didn't need to sleep he didn't need to eat the tamidi would ask him you know we all go home in the middle of the day to one of the balabas them to have some food why don't you go home to eat and he would say very simply there's no food in the house his schedule was so extreme that it cost him his health in fact he once went to a doctor and the doctor after his physical said Rabbi my only advice to you is you need to stop your in-depth learning you need to relax a little bit you can't learn with such analysis it's too rigorous it's too taxing on your health and he would say doctor you're Moroccan yeah Moroccan [Music] there's no listening to Torah any time of previous year and during the live share thank you so but after the live share go to torahanytime.com you could hear this year again you could hear it on regular speed you could hear on fast speed you could slow it down you could then listen to it on podcasts you could follow it on many many venues okay um well if you're a Moroccan then you probably spend most of the day smoking that's what Moroccans do the dog said yeah they I smoke so Rebecca has so why don't you stop smoking you know you know it kills you the doctor said what can I do it's second nature it's my habit I can't stop smoking so the rabbi yakova had other hand said my entire life is rigorously with I can't stop it's my entire Essence it's my entire being so this was there was another great rosh hashiva at the time his name was previous now there's a very sad ending to the lives of rabbitball and robyakov adahan raviaco had many many more tell me them firstly as we said when people would ask him Shyla he would always answer but save our Panama and he would answer the hey he was always had a humorous word had very few Tammy them and one of the other reasons aside from the very friendly way that Brahma people dealt with his talmudim was the fact that during the time of famine would provide and find sources of food for all his talmidim and word got out that was maybe had some hak pada that football was supplying the tell me them with all their needs and therefore he had very few tamidam and therefore the rumor was that they summoned each other to the best then Sharma and both of them passed away at the very same time at a very young age because of this uh report that there was so this is uh the the lives of three of the great Russia Siva here in Morocco adaham reviews and as mentioned was one of the Great there is no Torah in the world like the Torah that was studied here in Marrakesh you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by toraanytime.com
