I hope everyone's having a great day

I'm not gonna say what the promo code is
right away and if you could figure it
out
you could be uh you could get
.001 off your your trip so listen very
carefully
what and yeah and the next time we cross
the river you get a free zip line across
the
okay we're going to speak about one of
the great Michelle who lived in Toledo
Spain
he was a talmud of the rift tomorrow
we're gonna go to Lucina
the base base where the Riff was buried
he was also a student of the Rima gash
and this great reshine aside from
studying talmud became a master of
literary style in Hebrew and Arabic
we're speaking about reviews
one of the greatest of the all-time
paitanum says the rashva
you ever hear of the rashford benaderas
in cement
is the greatest in Merit and distinction
of all the pythonium
now rabihuda halavi was literally in
love with the land of Israel after all
he wrote the famous words Libby by
mizrach van Nieves
while I'm on the far ends of the West my
heart is in the east
and there have been
many pilgrims who traveled to aort
Israel including Spanish we shine him
like the ramban but no one expressed
their love for herits Israel as
passionately azerbuda Levy so for
example the rambam
mentions only one time in the entire
mentions not even once and the entire
even the ramban who is a great lover of
Earth Israel speaks about her this world
merely in a halachic sense however Levy
expresses his passion in a poetic
literary Style
in his famous
who shall make me wings so I may wander
far away
I would cause my shattered heart to
wander
what does mean who could make me wings
he is clearly echoing the words of the
greatest lover of Earth Israel himself
who invaram rabba we read that when
Hashem tells him to go and look at
Earth's Israel but you won't be able to
enter
says if I can't enter as a human please
allow me to enter as a wild animal as a
Kaya
who eats the grass and drinks the water
and the Rebellion says
Israel
comes with Moshe feinsteins asks
you know the gemaran soita says that my
shopping
but if my shopping would have entered as
a bird
it's very hard to Makai in
chuma's Masters as a bird
so the most show we see from here the
great spiritual benefit of merely being
an artist Israeli even without the
opportunity Makaya Mitzvahs what is the
benefit of being an artist Israel says
I will fall on my face the Arts
I would cherish your Stones greatly
with favor Your Dust even the Stones The
Rocks of Earth Israel are endowed with a
desirable qualities this is the this is
a reference to the practice of rabi ABBA
who would kiss the stones of akko
soon we're going to read pastors
please allow me to Cross it's one of the
great Visions
one of the Masters of the secrets of the
Torah he says what was moishes
Gematria 51 the yaridan Jordan
um was
the Jordan River is 50
amazed
please allow me to enter one Amman to
the land of Israel
okay so who got the first clue okay
anyway
what gives the dust of Earth's trial
their special quality now listen to this
why is the dirt about Israel Holy says
even when I stand by the burial spots of
my forefathers in Hebron
milk
raise your hands if you've ever been at
the cover of arrow in aikoyed
oh you've never been to Aaron I couldn't
did you know that the reason why Earth's
soil has kadusha says if you hear that
lady is because Aaron hakain is buried
inert Israel that means the cover of
aarona coin is the epicenter of caduceus
so imagine if you could go
to the camera if all the caduceus was
emanating from the camera imagine if you
could go to the cover of Arena claim
so you could join with nothing wildler
and others at the cover I mean
um at the cover of Arana
an upcoming of your trips
[Music]
two great lights moist and Aaron now
leave is introducing the principal
that the sanctity of Earth Israel
comes from the fact that the graves of
our ancestors are in Earth's Israel we
find this in safer nakamya when Arts
Israel and you shall I am lay desolate
nakamya comes before the king of Paras
and he requests permission to go up
Terrace Israel when the king asked why
are why do you look so dejected the king
wants to know
it's not right that you come in front of
me so dejected The Cameo says
foreign
look the city where our forefathers are
buried is destroyed from here we see the
kivraid Sadiq Menards Israel in Dallas
Israel with great kadusha now
Levi pens his most stirring words
the life of the Soul avir
I would say
the heir of your land Ruby who that lady
says merely bringing breathing in the
avir of Earth Israel so if you've ever
gone on a beer trip
imagine if you could go on on a beer
trip
from Earth Israel to the sources of
caduce Israel
I think people are sleeping that's what
it seems like
or they just don't know what in the
world I'm talking about okay
now the idea that the arrowverts itself
sustains the soul is developed by review
that Levy in great detail in the safer
kusary he says that just like the body
requires oxygen the soul requires
spiritual air in the land of Israel when
you breathe in the air it's an extremely
spiritually potent subject substance
the great great grandfather of the
hidayah he writes
Israel who taught
Hashem and therefore
Israel in fact says
that is why we call the era vertical
avir avir is
Abby didn't even know this Javier or
Hashem
or Hashem
or Hashem that's why it's cold up here
and that is why hazal say Avira the ARA
market now
[Music]
now
Olive
above yeah okay
it's well it's well known as commented
that he had extra seat when he came to
Arts Israel then his learning that he
never experienced anywhere else if that
lady's greatest contribution to the
world of tiger literature is the kusari
kuzari describes the quest of the king
of the khazars to determine the True
Religion by questioning a Christian a
Muslim and a Jewish scholar the King was
finally convinced of the authenticity of
Judaism which he embraced together with
his whole Kingdom however the king of
the khazars tons the Jewish scholar
because even though the Jewish people
pray daily for their return to Seline
says the king of the khazars it's
insincere lip service you chirp it like
a bird every day you say the sakhazana
however
you chip the words like a bird
[Music]
we don't even think about what we're
saying but are you ready for this says
the kuzarin
if we would prepare ourselves in the
land of Israel wholeheartedly
with the desirous soul
then we would achieve what the Jewish
people achieved in the Triumph namely
the gulaima and the author of The kuzari
took his words to heart he set out for
the land of that he he yearned for
and tradition has it that he reached
Damascus
he faced Zeon and in Sion he said the
kinna Sian haloi masiraya
many historians believe that Levy only
got As far as Egypt
raise your hand if you've ever been in
Egypt
Ian
which means you have to view yourself as
if you were first imit trying
[Music]
but many historians believe only made it
as far as Egypt but
says that in fact
where he fell to the ground he embraced
the dust in fulfillment of kiratsu Abode
and as he was kissing the dust of
yushalayim he was trampled and killed by
an Arab Horseman
born in 1080 right here in Toledo
