this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay some final thoughts everybody firstly we want to thank our expert guard Diogo uh we want to thank you for expertise is a pleasure to listen to he was respectful and courteous so go to trip advisory and give him a five star rating thank you what Portugal Magic I think over the last two days we've over the last two days we realized uh there's a very big difference between Portugal and Spain not just on a spiritual level but even on a physical level most most of us found that Portugal is quite a beautiful country and is there any way to explain an account for this difference between Portugal and Spain we also spoke about the Hiram not to return to Spain whether there's basis for this or not regarding returning to Spain there's a very interesting argument of Herzog of Herzog says it can't be worse than mitzrayim than Egypt where the terrorist says you're now at a return to Egypt and the rambam went to Egypt so if Egypt where there's an Issa in the Torah and yet the rambam went back it can't be that Spain which had most of the Harem then there must be some reason why it's permitted to go back and in fact says as follows Vegeta explains that he heard in the name of the arizal himself that at first of course it was forbidden to go to Egypt and the reason for that is told by paroi sifu I don't you're not gonna see my face again and moisha said that's right I'm not going to see your face and the mccobelim explains that there's a reason for the phenomenon that when the Jewish people are in a Gallows in an exile when it ends it ends overnight they don't give us much warning we don't have that much time to leave and the reason is our mission in the Exile is to gather all the Sparks of kadusho the Sparks of Holiness that were scattered here from the time of other Marisha and from the time of corbyn but once we're finished doing with our job we have no further business in the country like uh ravniel said over on Chavez and we're out and on to the next however says when we left matrayam we Vienna time we took out every last spark of kadusha therefore we have no more business in the Triumph we can't go there what's the purpose of going there but he heard from the Ari that once the Army Yahoo was exiled to metrium so he had he put some more Sparks of kadusha there once he put Sparks of kadusha there so now the rambam was allowed to go back there and now we're allowed to go back there and uh the rest is history I would venture to say humbly it's the same thing with Spain when we left in we took everything with us we took every last ounce of kadusha when the Jewish put 200 000 Jews our barbarinal writes 300 000 Jews were expelled in 1492. vayanatsu es sefarad there's nothing left in the country there's no kadusha in the country there's no rookies in the country there's no goshmias in the country maybe when they made a basic knesses they are they inaugurated Yeshiva there maybe one River Valley Yosef went there he sprinkled in some kadusha so we had we had a few days of uh gathering in whatever was left it seems that Portugal still has a a couple more neat side so therefore it's still a beautiful country and it has good weather and good sunlight in Spain when the sun shines it's not comfortable in Portugal when the sun shines it's a pleasure it warms the heart so the kadusha in us that's right um so it's then writes that in everybody's personal mission and travels in life where they go some people stopped off in the coffee shop some people went to the souvenir shop everyone has Sparks of kadusha that they personally need to gather in so no we don't know why we had a there was an accident here we didn't go to the lookout we had to go to see Manuel's Palace we had to go to see the Limestone there's a reason for that we had to gather in some extra Sparks and a different route so wherever you go in life whatever travels you make wherever Hashem leads you there's a reason for it there's a purpose for it and we try to elevate every footstep we take it's been a pleasure being together with you I thank everyone for your friendship until the next time thank you very much you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by toraanytime.com
