this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com everyone you know yesterday when we went to the studios we learned a very important lesson that that whole Pharaoh's Palace it took them six months to build just for a 10 minute set so we learned from there the importance of hakana preparation is key sometimes you can prepare six months just for 10 minutes so we're gonna have some time together with our friends the gamalam do we have to be Mason we have to prepare ourselves what are camels what do camels teach us what do we learn from them so we're gonna have most of the now but we'll speak a little bit more more about them when we get there we know that partials called harshas where all of a sudden elsewhere in the in the Torah we speak about you so we talk about gamalam in fact the barometer that elieza used to choose a wife for yes talk is he offered in his Fila that the woman that says not only I will give you to drink but but I also I will also give your camels to drink that will be that will show that will prove that that will be the appropriate way for your stock why would the gamalima why would that be a proof that this would be the appropriate wife has a very beautiful Exposition on on this episode where kriyaka explains the gamara's highness the gemara says that kolkawa is that a woman whose eyes are beautiful no further investigation is needed and the clyakar asks well there are many in our ship they may have beautiful eyes but they're lacking in every other area and vice versa somebody could be very beautiful even if their eyes are not exceptional so kriyako says what that means is that the key way to know about a person's personality is if they have an eye in title they have a good eye if they have a generous Spirit if there is maybe this is a type of a psychological insight that the kuyakar says when somebody loves to do something they will like anything associated with that idea so someone who loves Camila will love camels because they like Camilo so much that even though a camel has nothing to do with Camillus but the word Gamal its etymology is ligamal it has said they will love camels and therefore the fat Eliezer is saying the woman that says not only will I give you to drink but I'll give you a give Mao Lim this shows the woman loves Camilo's cousin so much that not only does she want to do has it she likes to say give my limb she likes the sound of the word Gamal she likes the way it flows off of the tongue that would be a proof that this would be an appropriate wife for a Rifka what's interesting is the clyakar and Parsha shmini when he talks about give my limb does anybody you know we have four animals in the Torah that only have one kosher symbol yeah over here we have we have four animals in the Torah the shafan that are nervous the Gamal and kazir they come out they come out shoes it's cut but does not have split hooks which nationality is compared to a Gamal anybody know which malcolus is compared to the Gamal Babel Babel and the clyorker says that actually the fact that the Gamo has only one semino of kashuasa but on the other hand that's not a split host that shows that barbell is someone hypocritical it shows that they're an ad mixture of toy Vera it shows that their type is not Chalet so it's actually it's a seminov basically says an idea that if you're going to be a Russia then be a Russia but don't be a hypocrite don't be wishy-washy don't display signs of Tara and signs of come up and therefore the Gamal in a certain sense represents the epitome of evil so for those of you who like camels you'll go with the clyakar and kayasara that Camel sounds like Camilo and the fact that you write it you're gonna say that shows I am a wonderful person that shows I have an exceptional character and the fact that I chose the Sahara Desert to go on vacation that means I should get good if you don't like this I saw them you're going with the koyako and parashas shumini who says the camel represents and so forth now please raise your hand if you've ever seen a camel in a dream any of you see a camel in a dream the camera what a cigarette also yeah cigarettes count the gamara says boy you were saved one was saved from they see a camel in a dream you know what the proof is you're gonna like this one [Music] saving a person from Nisa now this is a tough one but the mikkubalum say that someone who commits adultery will come back in this world as a camel so if you want to know who are these camels out here in the Sahara Desert okay just for the purpose of identification it's important to know who they were in a previous Go-Go now one last thing and I'm going to share with you the the real Lopper when we get to the desert tarakshira we talk about the sound of the camo because you're probably wondering the camel's gonna snort it's gonna growl it's going to make all kinds of noises what's the candle saying saying get off of me no saying Hashem is so that's the time kittiesky how is the camel symbolic of mourning over the basement I don't think most of you thought that when the camel growls and snares and drips all kinds of rearing and for those of you who don't know what that is it's better that way that the camel is mourning for the base Hamilton says the camel is different than any other animal all other animals when they want to injure when they want to attack they just do it not so the camel before the camel kicks the camel is soyink he growls he makes a loud noise boy he warns you so too with the destruction of the base hamiktash the evolution sent the VM ishaya Jeremiah Hashem warned us he sent them a VM to let us know that there was an impending Corbin we don't improve our ways so the camel reminds us of corbination so when you see the camel you can think of the kuyanka or impartial it represents camilos you could think of the kliacar and parashas shimini it represents Vitara mixed together you could think about the Schlage you could think about what it says in karakshira Hashem is you could think about the gamara that tells us that somebody sees a camel in their dream Misa negative don't know if you're gonna have enough time on the camel to have all of these bathshevas so take to listen to the clip later and you could buy a souvenir a magnet a keychain and every time you see the camel you can pause it over this year right Ray myself you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you byctoranytime.com
