okay good morning
everyone Boer
to Boer
R who wants to hear a little bit about
Napoli okay here we
go one of the most
important personalities who lived in
Napoli was Rama
the
B as we mentioned in the sh which by the
way we spoke from a spot Roberto said
nobody's been there for a hundred
years
the wrote a classic safer
called provides amazing
presentations where sometimes you'll
have
M you'll have Aus the rambam and the
ramban and will take a completely
different approach I'll give you two
examples we know the ran in the
beginning ofra famously quotes the
rambam in theim what's the reason for
carban you know what's the reason for
caranas so the rambam as his well known
the reason for is it's coming to
counteract the ideology of the idolators
who believed in uh the forces of nature
who believe the animals were Gods so by
slaughtering the animals it nullifies
the no the ideology of the nations of
the world and the ramban asks on the
rambam heaven forbid to make a where
we're counteracting a and ran says no
carbonis is a way of accessing the
energy of of the various that's the
famous R and ran but the provides really
a stunning reason for
carbano and he gives us insight into
human nature in general he says human
nature is
such that if somebody bestows upon you
great
benefits if somebody bestows upon you
you have a need you have a deep need a
profound need to be able to pay them
back if you can't pay someone back for
the kindness that they do to you it's in
a way a person feels guilty and a person
does not feel comfortable even accepting
the tce you want to say say something
about the
r no there is a lady she needs Lance so
that's to the
side wild comes the Bala the Bala
provides really a beautiful reason for
caran he says the knows that in order
for us to enjoy all the benefits that he
gives us if we had no way to pay him
back if we had no way to offer him
anything if every time we came to him
it's with a feeling of
we would not even be able to enjoy the
benefits that gives us soem in his
infinite kindness to gave the
institution of carb to give
us that we in some measure have the
opportunity to give something to him
even though thei says does
really doesm really get benefit from our
but it's a way of giving
us a chance to more fully appreciate the
toas that he gives us that we're able to
give back to him now I want to share
with you an amazing presentation of the
Bala on the story of Abraham and three
the malim who would like to hear
that all right by a vote of 6 to 5 I'm
going to tell you the
uh the presentation of the on the story
of ab and the three
Mal of course the simp explanation of
the story is it happened it
happened on the third day of his mil it
was a very hot day Hashem took the Sun
out of its sheath and AR was waiting for
arim and there were no arim because it
was too hot and Hashem made a miracle
and he created malar to come and ab
served them and he gave them bread or he
tried to give them bread he gave them
water he gave them OT actually gave them
tongue with mustard and as a reward for
that abrah ainu was rewarded that Hashem
gave us may directly and Hashem gave us
M directly and Hashem excuse me gave us
may and in the Merit
of comes the r in the and the r
says the story never happened you know
about this
the rambam says the story never happened
in fact the ramam says many prophecies
that are mentioned in thees did not
actually take place they were prophecies
AB ainu in a state of n saw himself
sitting at the entrance of the tent he
saw himself waiting for guests he saw
himself serving the guests and in the
Merit of that he saw Hashem reward CL
that's the opinion of the ramban the
ramban asked many questions on the ram
most notably if Abu never served the
guest and the story never happened then
why would Hashem have rewarded CL is for
a story that never happened okay that is
the that is the question of the ran on
the rambam in other words the rambam
learns about many narratives in the Kish
that they did not actually take place
they were just
seen comes
the and he defends the rambam
he defends the
rambam the rambam's approach to the
story of and the next okay back to you
after this commercial
break okay so coming back to the before
I begin I just want to mention I was
asked to wish a very special happy
birthday to Dr Michael Seltzer of South
Africa on the occasion of his 60th
birthday everybody wish him a happy
birthday
okay so back to
the says like this of course the story
never happened it was allu AB saw a
prophecy he's standing by the entrance
of the door he's serving the three malim
so why did Hashem reward him says about
that the
rambam's is much
more the raan you know why ifu actually
did it
just because he did a at one time so CL
is going to have m in the midbar for 40
years CL is going to have a in the midb
for 40 years just for one act
of is
showing this is a picture of you do you
know do you know who you are do you know
what I see inside of your Nish you want
to see how the shamayim views you I am
showing you that in the shamayim when
they look up the Encyclopedia of ABR
ainu they see an individual who sits at
the entrance of his door and when their
guests that are not coming he's NTI that
they're no guests and when the guests
show up he runs after them this was not
a one-time
occurrence was that the heavens should
show him how the sh views says of
course the ram is correct the story
didn't happen time it's much more than
that this is Abraham ainu very few
people in this world ever get a glimpse
how the shamayim views them you know
everybody has their own opinion of
themselves everybody in their own mind
ranks themselves you know who am I where
am I holding many people even think that
they know how theam views them but there
are very few people who are actually
shown on a screen the screen of
the screen of N is a person's and
showed that I could look deep inside
your soul and I know exactly what kind
of person you are you are an
individual that your deepest R is to
stand by the entrance of your tent and
await guest and
await and be in the midst and the reason
why CL was to 40 Years of man and 40
Years of was not because of a
one-time act that aru did as the ramban
says but rather as the rambam learns
this is the entire Persona of Abino this
is the approach of
theala if I'm not mistaken in
I thank you very
much you've just experienced another T
